THE REVELATION OF OPINION.

Fearing other people cowardice disadvantages of crowds public opinion fear of enemies fear of man cowardice again fear of persecution public opinion now we get to divisions of opinion and public opinion. All of these concepts come from Scripture such as Matthew chapter 27 verses 21 thru 26. Verses one through three, Matthew chapter 14 verse 5 and the book of John chapter 7 verse 13 John chapter 7 verse 43. The story you should see is people have and always will have differences of opinion. There will be some that will make their minds up one direction because of fear, fear of men fear of losing financial control, fear of losing political power on and on. This scripture that I just gave you speaks mostly about Jesus and how the rulers of the day and the religious people of the day dealt with him interjecting himself into society. I see this in societies today And it's Politics and religion as well. They have intertwined themselves and my question to you would be is this to be expected is this to be normal? I say yes and I say my opinion means as much as yours and yours as much as mine. Our opinions reveal many times what is in our hearts. I am a passionate person no doubt everyone knows, and as I preach as I talk about politics that is evident. But it reveals to me very deep inner emotions and very strong will to push my narrative. My narrative is Jesus first things that belong to Caesar second. Religious leaders should not get on television and make claims that people of a deeper faith and who exercise their faith support a certain candidate and of course this means those that support another candidate are not serious Christians. If we were to examine some of these religious leaders look at their salaries look at who they're beholden to it would be much like politics. You know like donors that you must answer to. As for me I don't like to be told who I should vote for and when I don't vote for that person they say I have no faith. If you will read these chapters in the book of Matthew and John and even Acts chapter 12 verses 1 through 3 you will see how opinions do matter to Jesus he knows we have them after all He created us. Supporting the fact that this so-called preacher on national television just this morning made those comments. From such men turn away. You are an individual your salvation is between you individually and the Lord Jesus Christ. All these years of my life I have heard some people say this one can't be a Christian and that one can't be a Christian. And I'm very well aware of you shall know them by their fruits, but the Bible also says get the beam out of your own eye before you get the mote out of your brother's eye. And just to set the record straight I'm not judging this brother I believe he is born again and I do not question his faith. I'm just calling him out on his comments about other people's faith and the standard he is using to pass his judgment. All humans have emotions feelings opinions so let's respect those opinions. But it's okay to voice your different opinion. Many times Jesus asked who do you think I am, who do you say I am, that's invoking an opinion. No more explanation needed. Want to know what God thinks about it there you go. Make up your own mind by rendering to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's.Amen.
