What the Bible says about Jesus
The True Light "In him, (the Lord Jesus) was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world,…the world didn’t recognize him." John 1:4,9.
The Good Seed and the Weeds “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seeds in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away.” Matthew 13:24,25.

Why Jesus said 'nothing about gay marriage'
Reblogged from http://www.wnd.com/2015/05/why-jesus-said-nothing-about-gay-marriage/
Joshua Charles
Joshua Charles is the No. 1 New York Times best-selling co-author (with Glenn Beck) of "The Original Argument: The Federalists' Case for the Constitution, Adapted for the 21st Century." .
It is an oft heard assertion these days that “Jesus said nothing about gay marriage.” Indeed, this is true. But he did talk about marriage:
“Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate” (Matthew 19).
You’re right. Jesus didn’t directly address homosexual “marriage” – because that is not marriage, according to Jesus. Thus, to expect Jesus to have said something meaningful about homosexual “marriage” is akin to expecting Him to have said something meaningful about unicorns. It is simply not a part of the definition of marriage Jesus gives.
The next step that many than take to assert a “biblical” basis for homosexual “marriage,” particularly if they are coming from a “red-letter Christian approach” (which seems to understand the words of Jesus to be extra biblical) is to assert that we now have more knowledge than people in the 1st century AD. We know more, we have evolved, we are more sophisticated now. I have even heard some “pastors” of this persuasion assert that Jesus could not have known about sexual orientation.
Which, of course, immediately begs the question: Which Jesus are you referring to? The one of the Bible? The one who was with God in the beginning, who is God, and by whom everything (including “straights” and “gays” alike) was made? That Jesus? Because if that is the Jesus who he is claiming “didn’t know” about such things as sexual orientation, I would suspect that he is not talking about Jesus, but someone else entirely.
But, of course, that gets us to the crux of the matter – and that is modern society’s seeming unwillingness to confront the death and decay within each of us. It has enamored itself with going after the supposed problems outside of us, those endemic to “society,” hence the popularity of such vacuous phrases as “social justice.” But what of the sickness inside? Modern man in pop America does not consider this relevant and is offended when it is even brought up.
Pre-order Joshua Charles’ new book, “Liberty’s Secrets: the Lost Wisdom of America’s Founders” – and WND will deliver it to you weeks before the June 10 release date!
That’s why it is so difficult, and on many occasions seemingly impossible, for modern society to confront itself with the question of the moral propriety of homosexual conduct. After all, it is what some have decided they are. This is how they express love. And being who you are, and loving the way you do, can’t possibly be wrong, right?
But this is where the character of Jesus is so flippantly maligned. Our culture has imbibed the notion that anything related to personal conduct (particularly sexual conduct) is just fine so long as it can be asserted in the name of “love.” What does “love” mean in this context? Apparently very little beyond a fuzzy feeling of emotional satisfaction, which is why Jesus has been re-made in the image of those who peddle this vision of “love”: Jesus is a great guy who meets my emotional needs, and if I ever feel like my emotional needs are not being met or satisfied, whatever caused that could not possibly be from Jesus, or something Jesus would support.
But, of course, any honest look at the life of Jesus completely belies this notion. And it is high time that Christians of all places press into the knowledge of the Messiah that goes beyond merely how he makes us feel, and includes how He would have us think, and behave. If Jesus came merely to offer fluffy feelings, that would presume that man’s most fundamental problem, the problem that God Himself felt compelled to send Jesus to fix, was that he had had a bad day, and simply needed a boost.
But this is a false Messiah – a Messiah formed by the hands of a culture that does not want to be saved, but in the time-honored tradition of the flesh, and as all of us are prone to do, seeks to justify itself.
Some things must be said, particularly when our culture seeks to transform the Messiah of God into an idol of its own creation, rather than the Lamb of God offered for my sins and theirs, because of our death in those sins.
Which Messiah shall we listen to: the Messiah of God, who beckons us into new life, or the Messiah of our perverse imaginations, who only take us further into death?
Only one saves.

Dobson: 'Fall of Western civilization' at hand
Reblogged from Dobson: 'Fall of Western civilization' at hand
WND EXCLUSIVE
'Barring a miracle, the family will likely crumble'

Dr. James Dobson, who founded the highly influential groups Focus on the Family and Family Research Council and now runs Family Talk Radio, is warning that if the U.S. Supreme Court redefines marriage as analysts predict, the ruling will presage the “fall of Western civilization.”
“I do not recall a time when the institutions of marriage and the family have faced such peril, or when the forces arrayed against them were more formidable or determined,” he writes in a letter distributed to his hundreds of thousands of supporters.
“Barring a miracle, the family that has existed since antiquity will likely crumble, presaging the fall of Western civilization itself. This is a time for concerted prayer, divine wisdom and greater courage than we have ever been called upon to exercise,” he writes.
The author of staples to families around the world such as “Bringing Up Girls,” “Bringing Up Boys” and “When God Doesn’t Make Sense,” frequently has tangled with the Obama administration.
At one point he described President Obama as the “abortion president” and warned America is heading toward “depravity.”
He also, amid his lawsuit against the administration over Obamacare’s abortion requirements, told the president he would refuse to obey any law that required him to participate in the killing of an unborn child.

“I believe in the rule of law, and it has been my practice since I was in college to respect and honor those in authority over us. It is my desire to do so now. However, this assault on the sanctity of human life takes me where I cannot go,” he wrote in an open letter to the president.
“I WILL NOT pay the surcharge for abortion services. The amount of the surcharge is irrelevant,” he said. “To pay one cent for the killing of babies is egregious to me, and I will do all I can to correct a government that lies to me about its intentions and then tries to coerce my acquiescence with extortion. It would be a violation of my most deeply held convictions to disobey what I consider to be the principles in Scripture. The Creator will not hold us guiltless if we turn a deaf ear to the cries of His innocent babies. So come and get me if you must, Mr. President. I will not bow before your wicked regulation.”
