Chapter 11: God’s Eternal Character

using the word God and whether our eyes should be exposed to the dangers of a public monument of the Ten Commandments in Montgomery, Alabama.

Secular social forces in the USA fight to prevent your eyes from even

seeing the Ten Commandments in any public place. At the same time, these forces fight for open homosexuality and the right to teach your children the homosexual lifestyle. Even to broadcast unseemly sexual content into your home television during primetime evening hours. There is little doubt that a race is on to secularize the United States. It is a race to extricate God from

every aspect of our lives. While 80% of the people in the USA might claim to believe in God, few of them do anything to support God and show Him that they really do believe. I wonder if the United States isn’t just as secular as Israel from a practical standpoint? Where is the voice of the masses of

concerned believers in this country? Indeed, the masses are absent in the arena in pubic debate. The Montgomery Ten Commandments monument is a tell tale sign that few people nationally really do care about God’s word. In the sixty’s, thousands of protestors marched the streets for Negro rights.

How many march the streets for the right to acknowledge God? Where are the masses in Christianity to defend even the idea of saying the word “God?”

Yet the new covenant of God no longer holds the nation collectively

accountable. The new covenant of God holds each one of us individually accountable. That doesn’t mean we won’t suffer by living in a nation, state or city that is disrespectful or insulting towards God. We will. It rains on good and evil people simultaneously. What effects society at large will

affect each individual in some way. None of us leads an isolated life.

Mankind has taken the blood of God’s only begotten Son Jesus Christ and turned it into a huge insult and slam against God Almighty. It has done this with Christian teachings that promote “getting along” over God’s Holy

Word. God doesn’t want us to behave like the heathens that surround us.

That much is clear in Ezekiel. With or without Jesus in our hearts it makes no difference to God. Our behavior betrays who we are in God’s

eyes. Jesus is God’s enforcer; he is not God’s excuse maker. Jesus is also not an excuse you can use with God. The Apostle Paul asks: “Shall we continue in sin?” He then provides a direct answer with an emphatic “certainly not!” Hebrews 10:26 is the warning that eternal damnation awaits
