THE BIBLE, YOUR DAILY NEWSPAPER

As a bible teacher, I read the bible like it was a daily newspaper of current events.

Mark 13:14

Holy Scripture- Great Inspired Tribulation

14: Jesus picked up the inspired apocalyptic language of Daniel’s prophecy. Apparently Jesus

pointed to the Roman destruction of the Jewish temple in A.D 10 and beyond that to the second

coming, showing scripture is opened to renewed understanding and fulfillment for different

generations. God has new things to reveal from his word.

Last things, great tribulation-the phrase abomination that causes desolation comes verbatim from

Dan. 9:27; 11:31;12:11. Abomination is a term that describes sacrilege such as the profaning of a

holy place. Many believe Daniel’s prophecy had immediate reference to the unclean sacrifices in

the Jerusalem temple by the Romans in A.D 10

Romans 1:28-32

28-Intellectual Nature- Turning to Abominations

Abomination (depraved) normally describes something that does not measure up to a moral; or

biblical standard of holiness.

When applied to the human soul (mind). That refers to a mind (character) that does not see the

wisdom in making the free will choices to ignore the temptations of sin and choices that God

makes so available to the true believers.

There must be a serious drive to the wisdom of God, and the sins for a season. Most humans will

rebel against moral limits. God responds to continued rebellion by letting your will carry you

into places and ideas that are lust dominated rather than the spiritual drive to know God.

Such an intelligent leads people astray, causing the rejection of God himself and leading to

wholly irresponsible behavior. God gives people the freedom to choose. 

We know what it is right and choose what is wrong. We encourage others to do the same. Sin

dominates our life. This is human moral and intellectual depravity. We need help. Our human

wisdom is not sufficient.

One consequence of human rejection of God’s plan for life is the seeds of homosexual activity.

The biblical revelation to be God’s intended form of sexual interaction and condemns

homosexual acts (Lev, 18:22; 2-:13). A homosexual life-style is contrary to the gospel. It is also

dangerous to health, welfare, and unity to any church, community, culture, and family

interactions.

Romans 1:26-28

Political correctness was created by Stalin, and his Marxist ideas on maximum control. Stalin

killed 40,000,000 of his people to get the results of complete domination. This was sins at it’s

highest, at this time committed by many leaders in WWII. There is no easy complacency way to

deal with sin, however there are those false misleading concepts held by many of us about sin

that are dangerous and damaging. Political correct ideas are the most dangerous. It’s hard for

many to allow the word of God to get through their political correct minds. 30 years of this control

is against the teachings of the Bible.

Sin in the most terrible, the most terrifying thing that ever struck the world! Nothing has ever

happened to man as damaging as sin. Sin has a language, it has an ideology very useful to those

who desire to continue a lifestyle of sin and still be correct.

This type of lifestyle has a tremendous effect upon the church, the teaching of the gospel, the

world and all mankind.

If sin is not dealt with, if sin is left unjudged; if sin is left un-repented of ; forsaken and

forgotten, it brings the certain judgment and punishment of God. All Christians need to face the

sin issue clearly and see their need for honest confession before God.

Whatever outward acts of sin that may be committed by man are only outward expressions of the

new attitude of independence from God. When saints fail to maintain their rightful attitude

toward God (that of total dependence upon the Godhand) it is clear from Paul’s indictment, all

kinds of sins are bound to follow.

Against the sinful church, and the human race, he makes this charge (Romans 1:21, 22; 18-32);

this long list of sins are but the outward manifestations of man’s failure to remain in his rightful

attitude of complete dependence on God, to glorify his creator as God and to remain subject to

his will.

Whatsoever is not of faith is sin. (Ro. 14:23)

So many of us think only of immoralities of sin. THIS IS NOT TRUE!

The greatest castle of sin is not a house of prostitution; it is the place of self-righteousness. The self

righteous fold feel they some church ritual, a procedure that when these

ordinances have been safely placed their lives can take it anywhere back in and out of the world.

Cultures, refined, and moral though they be, their dependence upon themselves moves them far

from God.

Christians do sin. Many preachers and teachers say that no genuinely converted, born again

Christian ever sins. It is said that Christians make mistakes, they err, and they have “faults.” But

they have no sin and never commit acts of sin. These teachers feel that when one becomes a

Christian instantaneously every vestige of sin is removed, and that the Christian has become so

good that he does no wrong. But such persons who maintain these ideas, however well the 

intention, do “not” know human nature ad no “not” know the Bible. Christians do sin! All

Christians sin!

And it can be further stated, that no believer can have day-by- day victory over sin and live the

happy, joyful, triumphant life, until he faces the true facts about sin.  Daily repentance placed in

our prayer life helps us change from today. To deny presence of sin in our natures and lives means

Thank you for reading!
