A Time to Refrain from Embracing

[Michael Ballai]

I'm a little tired of Obama telling me that I shouldn't be clinging to God, religion and firearms. Now he wants me to get all clingy and embrace what he refers to as my "gay brothers and sisters." He doesn't like my "worn arguments and old attitudes." He never asked me what they were. Is this the omniscience of the Messiah? Somehow I don't think so.

And he answered them, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” And looking about at those who sat around him, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of God, he is my brother and sister and mother.” Mark 3:33-35

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2

For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; 1 Thessalonians 4:3

Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10

Sorry Mr. Obama, your argument doesn't line up with the Messiah I know. Yeshua went looking for sinners in order to make them brothers and sisters. Obama wants you to embrace a lie. Yeshua wants you to embrace the truth: And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 6:11
