Turn or Burn picketers?
What is wrong with this picture?
Can you figure it out?
This is a liberal marketing campaign designed by demons to dupe you.
What do we need to know in order to understand the error(s) here?
The meaning is twisted. It doesnt exactly mean what is says at face value.
Yes picketers should have a different message on the signs, and speak in kindness... so it draws people to God not turns them away.
>>Perhaps, is what is being said on the signs true? Yes. It is a warning, and an important one. But! Before you get all angry and let your emotions and feelings run away, ...try looking at the truth behind it and the facts.
❓Is it possible the turn or burn picketers are not even actual Christians, yes.
❓ is it possible the makers and wearers of this shirt are judging Christians and Christianity, incorrectly? Yes
❓Is it possible the turn or burn picketers are judging sinners? Yes.
❓But... what if these ones arent judging? Say they arent screaming "turn or burn", then.. is it just a statement to get sign readers to think? Possibly.
❓It is even possible God is using both the good picketers and the turn or burn picketers, to get many kinds of peoples attention? Yes.
What we know:
☆ Christians know God hates sin
☆ Christians know people who die in their sins go to eternal Hell.
☆ This means theyre trying to get your attention. Look beyond what might seem crappy to what is the truth in the message. Just like when your boss yells all kinds of things at you, instead of getting upset, you look at, and weed through all the offensive stuff to what did he mean, what was actually saying and wants you to understand (and do).
☆We know most Christians would speak truth in love
☆We know a lot of Christians do not know how to deal with lgbt+ issues because it is new, for some new since 2005, for most it is new since 2015. Theyre navigating it as best they can until their pastor studies on it, discusses with other biblical pastors nationally, and come up with info to educate believers on the "what now". And till the believer finds solid Scriptural helps on the matter.
☆Are there people who claim to be Christian, but arent. And are used by Satan to dupe non believers, to cause them to hate all Christians? yes & yes.
☆ Are the turn or burn picketers speaking on one issue (such as lgbt+), yes and no. Some groups are specific for sexual perversion just as some are picketing to end murders in the womb. Others to generally plead/warn about Hell.
☆ Is there a better way those who "picket to educate" in Christianity to reach the world, yes.

It is fine to be loudly speaking so people can hear, and
it draws people to see whats going on. It also gives opportunity for the curious and those wanting to understand why Christians (and God) are pro 1:1 and oppose lgbt+otherkin lifestyles. It helps people learn why believing in a god or jesus that is not the One in the Bible, is actually idolatry, and that means theyre violating/guilty of creating a image of God that isnt real, but based on their imagination and preference. It is not based in reality.
An example is to say Jesus is Love or God is love, or God loves all... because 👉 that isnt Biblical. That means it isnt true.
1. God has many attributes and has a perfect nature. The Love He has for within the trinity, and has as his character, is far more than the vague understanding of "love" that this group comprehends. It is infinitely much more than they grasp. It is kinda like looking at a grain of sand and missing the entire beach. Or looking at a bright star and missing the billions of stars in the universe. Even looking at 1 attribute such as God's Love is very deep, and not shallow as they imagine. Theyd have to study the depths of Scripture to get a decent glimpse. And it certianly is not what their definition is.
2. Jesus died for "those who will believe".
3. He loves those whose names are in the Book of life, but
*he cares about those who wont listen to truth and reason.
*He knows who will not be saved; reject the offer. And of course it is sad
*He tried to correct and turn the Jewish religious leaders around, and they rejected it. Even people even at the end of His ministry on earth, even the 30k who followed him, were only interested in temporary earthly things, [not the God who saves and gives spiritual life, and eternal life], and it made Him sad because He understands but they dont. He knows their end (without Him), they dont.
The question you need to think about today though is not looking down on "all those picketing people" in self righteousness, nor being concerned about "all those other people in Bible times, or others alive today"... you're important thing to think about today, is whether you are right with God and would be fine if you died in 10 minutes. Cuz Eternity is calling. Death stalks you because of sin. And once you pass through deaths door only 1 option is available to you:
*Hell for eternity if you die in your sins, or
*Heaven for eternity if you die in Christ and are raised to life in Him, by seeing your need for Him, repenting once and for all of your sins, and putting your faith 100% in Him to save you.
If you do this, you "believe" in Jesus, and the moment you do, you are saved, receive Jesus righteousness. All that He did for you by His life, death and resurrection, are applied to you. God judged your multitude of sins on Jesus back on that cross, your penalty for your crimes against God have been paid, and you are free from judgement.
You are guilty, but your fine has been paid and you are free from the eternal punishment you deserve. You get what you dont deserve (salvation & eternal life) and dont get what you do deserve (damnation in eternal Hell).
You were bought by Jesus at that priceless cost.
When you are "Born Again" as Jesus called it, you are given Spiritual life. And belong to Him. You were a slave to Satan and Sin, but are now free and are a slave to Christ and to righteousness. Jesus is now your Savior and Master. You now follow Him. And the life He leads you through here and into in eternity... is the best you could ever imagine.
We each deserved death and eternal Hell the moment we 1st ever sinned in our young life, but God was patient and at the right time, brought the Gospel to you, and caused you to be Born from Above by God, and the Holy Spirit now dwells in you.
If you got right with God today, and gave your life to Jesus, welcome to the family of God. This will help as you begin your new life in Christ.
If you read this and still are seeking answers on issues holding you back. Know that if you find reasonable evidence that these things are true, that is all you need. Dont let Satan stop you from coming to Jesus. Get right with God, and then like the rest of us, you'll grown in knowledge and understanding. And certain questions you had will soon fade to no longer important, since you realize what an undeserved and amazing treasure you have in Christ. To help you get to that place, these answers should help and the investigation section at the top will help as well.
Do do a deeper investigation into understanding the Gospel you can go here.
For new believers, all these links will be helpful as they will help you start your walk and solidify your faith. And help you in conversations with others as you tell them about your wonderful Savior, Jesus.
For questions and to understand the lgbt+ otherkin identity issues much clearer, this will help. It is a deep dive with faq as well. Going through everything in there will really help you get educated well on the matter.
