Jesus’ love for evil people is greater than their evil actions

What President Biden, his handlers, and the rest of the communists don’t understand is that Christians who trust Jesus aren’t afraid of them.

They can take our possessions, our freedom, our lives. But Jesus said to us:

4 “I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do.
Luke 12:4 (NASB95)

Why do we not fear? Because our King, our Friend and our God takes care of us personally.

And because tyrants cannot instill fear in those who trust Jesus, tyrants have no power over them.

We who trust Jesus will NOT fight with guns or anything else. We will not fight physically at all.

3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh,
4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.
2 Corinthians 10:3–4 (NASB95)

The above verses are NOT saying we who trust Jesus will physically: fight, war, or destroy anyone or anything. The “flesh” means using our own strength. We will NOT use our own strength. We will use divinely powerful strength, that is, the Word of God (Jesus) and Talking to Jesus (prayer). And the Father will send Jesus through His Holy Spirit in power.

Jesus will intercede on our behalf, and He will use the Words of the Bible to tell the truth about anyone who has lied, deceived, betrayed, taken bribes, and murdered.

20   Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

21   Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
And clever in their own sight! 

23   Who justify the wicked for a bribe,
And take away the rights of the ones who are in the right!
Isaiah 5 (NASB95)

What does “woe to” mean in this case? “Woe to” only means that when those who have done these things stand before Jesus, they will no longer be able to lie to themselves or deny the truth of what they have done. They will know they did it, it was their fault, it was their choice, it was their responsibility. They will know that Jesus offered forgiveness and Himself to them and they spit in His face. And for the rest of eternity, they will ask themselves over and over: Why didn’t I love Him when I had the chance?

But wait.

This is not how it has to end.

Jesus loves President Biden (not his actions), He loves President Biden’s handlers (not their actions) and He loves communists (not communism or communists’ actions).

5   For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,
And abundant in lovingkindness to all who call upon You.
Psalm 86:5 (NASB95)

If President Biden, or anyone, will call out to Jesus in truth Jesus will hear
them with “abundant . . . lovingkindness.” Because He is “good, and ready to forgive.”

So, go ahead. Change your destiny. Call on Him. He is waiting to hear from you right now.

Jesus wants you

Foreknew (προγινώσκω) to know beforehand

Romans 8:29a (NASB95)
29 For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son

This verse does not say that God chose us and excluded others. It says that He knew beforehand if we would respond to Him.

2 Peter 3:9c (NASB95)
9 The Lord . . . (is) not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

The above verse means He wants you.

The Lord knew I was perishing because I thought I was good enough, better than others. So, He gave me mental illness for ten years until I had nothing and was ready to accept Him as my Savior. (Then He called me . . .)

Repentance does not mean to clean yourself up to give yourself to God, either. That is impossible. Repentance means you change your mind about sin and ask JESUS to give you a new perfect spirit from Him.

Ezekiel 36:26a (NASB95)
26 “Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you

And getting a perfect new spirit doesn’t mean you will have immediate perfect new actions, either. Your soul (thinker, feeler, chooser) is not your spirit and isn’t new or perfect. However, now as you obey Jesus the lies you believe that drive your wrong actions are replaced with the truth, and your soul is renewed.

Romans 12:2 (NASB95)
2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.

Jesus would rather die than live in eternity without you, so He did. He loves you so much that He has done everything so you can live with Him forever. He knows how hard life is. He knows our weaknesses, our faults and our failings. He doesn’t fault you. He took the blame Himself. There is nothing He would not do in your best interest. Even Mental Illness has become a blessing to me because God uses it as a platform for me to tell all people how much Jesus loves them, just as they are, mental illness or not.

He loves you, He is waiting right now to hear from you. Take that leap of faith. He will catch you, every time.

What would you want Jesus to do?

Jesus got to shore and was met by a man who had been acting “crazy” most of his life.

The man lived naked among the graves and no one could control him. The man pulled to pieces any chains he was in and he often cried out; cutting himself with stones.

Jesus had compassion on the man.  But he couldn’t help him.

You see, this man was of another religion and it was against the law to convert him to following Jesus, which Jesus knew would happen if Jesus healed him.

Also, the media had been misreporting that when Jesus said, “Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God” that Jesus was really rebelling against the government and advocating that people not pay lawful taxes.

What would they report if he removed evil spirits from a man not considered competent to give informed consent?

And what about the people who said mental illness was a myth?  What if they said Jesus should value the man’s differences, not judge his lifestyle, and coexist with him?

And what about the mental health community?  They don’t believe in demons. They would be offended if Jesus cast out demons into pigs, and the pigs immediately committed suicide, proving that demons do exist.  They might lobby to have Jesus’ license to practice counseling revoked.

And what about the owners of the pigs?  Did Jesus ask permission to send demons into them?  Was Jesus going to pay restitution?

What if you were the man or woman standing there in front of Jesus, with your future and your sanity hanging in the balance.  What would you want Jesus to do?

Just in case you didn’t understand, the above is satire. For what really happened see Mark 5 in the Bible.

The above was my response to the politics of 2016. The below is what might be actually happening now and may be worse and should be satire.

And so I have questions.

In the UK is politically incorrect thought/prayer near abortion clinics now a crime?

Was the U.S. president’s speech full of distortions about U.S. “MAGA” voters?  Were “MAGA” voters vilified by the U.S. president for the crime of having a different point of view?

Could emails that were found and released by Elon Musk be interpreted as First Amendment Freedom of Speech censorship prompted by the government?

Was a U.S. government agency weaponized to intimidate those who are against the legalized killing of babies in the womb?

Are pharmacy companies talking about creating disease so they can make money healing the people they infect?

Why would someone get “fired” right after standing up to big pharma? Would that cast suspicion on the Board that “fired” you?

Bad is portrayed as good.

Good is censored.

Dear Jesus,

we need

You.
