John McArther on Larry King Live

Thought some people might enjoy watching this.

It is not our job to judge outsiders, but God has already made a judgment of the world. If we, as Christians, believe God's judgment, then the world labels us as "narrow-minded bigots." Very interesting.

You know what - almost everyday it seems like God shows me how much of a narrow-minded bigot I really am. Just when I think I have it figured out... BAAM! it is just the opposite.

This pleases God.

The black gentlemen in the video seemed to have some good points, and of course McArther was quoting lots of scripture to counter him - but I think all the world saw during that show was confusion - Babylon.

and it looked very familiar to them.

I am sure that to the world it seemed like confusion when Paul was speaking truth and others were countering it. In fact, riots broke out in a lot of the places where Paul went.

Jude said, "Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt I had to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints" (1:3).

I am sure it seemed confusing when Martin Luther was taking a stand for truth and the "universal church" was spewing venom at him to recant.

I believe that the truth is to be stood up for, especially in the church. Sin has a way of slithering in, and we don't want to counter it because it might hurt someone's feelings or appear to be politically incorrect! We wouldn't want the world to get the wrong idea that there are debates over truth!

Standing up for the truth cost Jesus His life. I am not saying we have to be crazed lunatics, but we should be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks- responding with gentleness and respect.

I can't help but wonder: "Do we seek unity to the neglect of purity?"

I liked seeing this. It was an eye-opener for me. The one who said "My God is big enough to include all religions.." My mouth dropped open and my eyes where as big as saucers. He believed in Jesus as the only way, but his idea of God was one that included everyone even if they don't believed in Jesus as the ONLY way. What?!? That didn't make any sense.

The Bible warns us of the double-minded and the one who just slightly bends the truth. Satan will give 99.9% truth, but then puts in his 1% lie. A lie is a lie. Truth is Truth. You are either all in or all out! Take all the Bible or none of it. If you base your beliefs on the basis that the Bible is truth, then all of it is true not just the parts you want to be true.

It prompts me to be in the word more and see what it says. That way when confronted with lies I can discern them with the Spirits help.

Thank you for posting this video.
