Jesus is your Master, not your friend -
05-06-2012, 01:28 AM
The "Buddy Christ" picture is popular on the Internet these days.
Even available as an action figure:
This gives the impression to many nominal Christians that Jesus is supposed to be their pal, their confidante, their . . . buddy.
What does Jesus say about the matter?
Quote:
Matthew 11:28-30
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
|
Not, "Come to me all that labour, and I will set you free from slavery." Just "exchange your current Master for Me."
Do friends put yokes on one another? Of course not! (Didymus, please refrain from posting your Clown Bondage Porn links, OK?)
As all True Christians™ know, we are slaves to Jesus. The Bible even says so:
Quote:
An upcoming book by Dr. John MacArthur is definitely on my to read list in 2011. It’s called Slave: The Hidden Truth About Your Identity in Christ, and in it Dr. MacArthur deals with how the Greek word doulos has often been translated as "servant" when it is actually only used to mean “slave.” With that understanding how should that impact how we see our relationship with Christ and what that means to our everyday lives?

Reverend, I don't find it believable that anyone could buy or sell a toy like that with anything but malice for Jesus and His humble followers in their heart. It is a blatant exploitation of the irony that one living thing would freely choose to devote its existence to the worship of another. And I don't find it funny in the slightest.

Praise God for bringing this up. It's so important for false Christians to realize that Jesus is not your copilot.
He is the pilot and you are in the back of the bus like Rosa Parks should have stayed.
Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
Christians are superior because we possess an understanding that unbelievers lack. It is through the Power of Jesus only the converted mind is able to understand what is going on in the world; what the Communists are really up to; what Satan's intentions are. Most unbelievers do not even believe in Satan and cannot understand his tactics.

Wait, what about this verse?
John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

So the 11 disciples (Judas had left by this point) are the only people who Jesus laid down His life for?

I saw your signature and I have to say that you are very wrong, I hate anal, I also think that being gay is wrong, therefore your whole church born thought process is wrong. If you haven't gotten the message I'm an Atheist and I'm proud of it.

Why does it always come down to anal sex with these Atheists?
YIC
1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
Revelation 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

What's wrong with being gay from an atheist standpoint?

Please provide Scripture to support your assertion.
II Thessalonians 1:7-9
And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power
The man who is being progressively sanctified will inescapably sanctify his home, school, politics, economics, science, and all things else by understanding and interpreting all things in terms of the Word of God and by bringing all things under the Dominion of Christ the King. -R.J. Rushdoony

So God loved THEM. That doesn't mean He loves EVERYBODY.
Here is proof that God doesn't love everybody. In fact, He HATES SOME.
Quote:
Leviticus 20:23 - "And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them."
Leviticus 26:30 - "And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you."
Deuteronomy 32:19 - "And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters."
Psalm 5:5 - "The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity."
Psalm 5:6 - "Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man."
Psalm 10:3 - "For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth."
Psalm 11:5 - "The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth."
Psalm 53:5 - "There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them."
Psalm 73:20 - "As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image."
Psalm 78:59 - "When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:"
Psalm 106:40 - "Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance."
Proverbs 6:16-19 - "These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren."
Proverbs 22:14 - "The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein."
Lamentations 2:6 - "And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest."
Hosea 9:15 - "All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters."
Zechariah 11:8 - "Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me."
Malachi 1:3 - "And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness."
Romans 9:13 - "As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated."

Hello sir, I am sorry to prove you wrong, however, I did not state that god loves all. I stated he loves us. He may only love us on this forum.
Please, take time to review posts/threads in the future !

Jesus can love True Christians™ yet still be our Master.
He can be a friend to us (that is, take care of us and do good for us), but that doesn't mean He is a "friend" in the modern sense of a "BFF"--that is, someone equal to you.
See the difference?
Jesus isn't our pal.
You may be very friendly with your boss, might even hang out after work. But your boss can still fire you.
Similarly, you can be very friendly with Jesus, but He can still FIRE you.
