Greetings in the name of my Master, Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Why do most people believe they are right and God is wrong? Some of us go against every thing God say is wrong like murder, homosexual behaviour, stealing, lying, adultery, fornication, etc, etc.
If God is wrong about any of these thing, then who is right? Certainly not the devil or man for God is always right. Did man create this World, the things in it,or gave man/woman life? No,only God could do that.
Most of us who are against what God says are the ones that practice most of the things God says is wrong. Take a look at homosexual behavior. Why a man who say he is a homosexual don’t get married to a woman that is a lesbian? A man that is committing adultery don’t want to hear anyone say it is wrong. A man who steal don’t want to hear it’s wrong to steal,etc, etc. ROMANS-3:10-As it is written, There is none righteous, no ,not one.
Romans 3: vs.12 :They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good,no, not one.
And what is so funny about this is when you say what God say, some want to kill you, they call you a hater. I’m only saying what the Almighty said, if you have a problem with that take it to God. For in JOHN-12:48, GOD said, He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my word, hath one that judgeth him, the word that I have spoken,the same shall judge him in the last day.
So those that don’t want to listen to the word of God, they will be judge by the same word.
May God keep blessing Dominica always.
I find it really hilarious that people who are uneducated attack those who are educated for not being religious fanatics. The arrogance is beyond belief. A person who knows nothing and makes no effort to learn anything when they clearly have Internet access to post such absurd comments is a disgrace. They rely on people who know things to use the very technology they type such comments on, and yet they attack those educated folks as idiots the moment they present a view that disagrees with theirs. How an uneducated person can seriously believe him- or herself to be more educated on everything than an educated person is utterly ridiculous, but it will continue until standards and especially availability of education in this island improve.
well, you know what they say about empty barrels…
but on a serious note, you’re absolutley right! In this day and age you can’t use “ignorance” as an excuse, when we have a wealth of information at our finger tips!
I’m very grateful that i have parents who have always encouraged me to ask questions and to always think for myself.
I am not surprised that the majority of those who claimed to be followers of Jesus Christ are ignorant,stupid,uncultured and are also uneducated.These saved soul boldly proclaimed that they are weak and is in need of help.
On the other hand, the elites,intellectuals with PHD behind their names have no need for a God to tell them what to do.
While it is true the latter has achieved much,but if we look a little closer they have also mess up the world.
When the 1st world war ended around November 11 1918.It was said by them “The war that ended all wars” A few years later the so-called wise men started the 2nd world war. Like the 1st millions were killed.
At the end of the last world war the same smart guys who have no need 4 God said let us come together and settle our differences round the table, not on the battle field.So we have what we call the United Nations.The first meeting took place in San Francisco,I have the photo before me right now I can count about 40 flags.
Tell me has the UN brought peace in this world in which we live?
There will be no peace, until JESUS sits at the conference table.
I will continue
@JJ CHARLES,Brother you are so right,let all the educated ones take their degrees to hell with them,because we the children of God donot need degrees in Heaven.
Apparently, you guys don’t need degrees on earth either, since you don’t have the mental capacity to think for yourselves
The sheep says: Baaaa
I see. So everyone with a PhD who has ever existed is 1) atheistic and 2) responsible for World Wars I and II. Moreover, religion has absolutely nothing to do with the world being “messed up,” since World War I is the source of all the world’s problems and everything before then was blissful paradise. Furthermore, since we don’t have peace on Earth since everyone with a PhD is a part of the UN and is an atheist, Jesus must therefore be the answer to all our problems. How silly of us! Doh, as Homer Simpson would say.
Congratulations on reducing history to utter garbage. This is called reductionism–i.e, you’ve generalized so much that what you’ve written isn’t even history, except for the date of when the war ended.
…Please sir don’t fool yourself thinking that, we human beings are not awear of our wrong doings. The problem is some of us feel safer praying to the silence God, he make less noise! but, he answers to all our prayers. We have also came to realize that the MAN screaming LORD has disappointed many…if you get my drift..
You would be supprise to see that the ones who stays in their quiet corner and say nothing..has a better chance on judgement day…so never judge the child of God, for calling one of Gods children sinner, is a sin. it’s not your place to comdemn.
Even if you don’t hear me screaming lord…I know my God..I am one of those who prays in silence. “For prayer is a heart to heart talk with God, not MAN”…
Reading the bible does not mean one is righteous…understanding is of greater entity..
God is a jealous God…but he love all his children..
SOMETIMES SILENCE MEANS MORE..
Honestly, it is not God that is wrong, it is the mainstream denominations that have taken his word out of context over the years. Jesus Christ has thought all of us to be tolerant and to love each other as we love ourselves. They have forgotten what it is to be Christians, and to love and cherish one another for who they are, not as the ideals of some deranged group. The words that have been written in the bible are right, but it is the people who use this great resource that corrupt the name of God, and use it for their own selfish ends, even if it hurts others.
mosquitos bitting me!
It still baffles me to see black people supporting christianity and the bible, when slave owners used that very same christianity and that very same bible to JUSTIFY their “right” to own your black ass.
Wake up people!!!! I’m soo glad i think for myself. smh…
And your point is ?????????????????
What Racism is this? … Our Father created the Heavens and the Earth and your point is ??? In your own words, tell me who created the Earth??? Or make an argument to support your racist point. I am waiting!
This is to Pre Med?? Who created you . Were you evolved. Did you create yourself???
@ PRE.MED,sooner or later you are going to get in troble and then we want to see who you are going to call,your fool.
the correct word is trouble.
Pastor Rawls I know that you have a good point, because I know God and His Words. But you demonstrate much weakness in presenting your counsel to those who are searching. And that weakness makes it difficult for anyone to accept your preaching.
Yes, I am saying: Those who are searching because I understand that not everyone needs that counsel from you. That is why I know that you have said nothing here, that will cause people do desire to open their minds to your teachings.
That is the reason you should strive to present yourself, that those who are humble, innocent, and ignorant of God Almighty, His Word, and His attitude and conducts, as demonstrated by His Person of Love–His name is Jesus Christ–will believe, receive, and conceive the Word of God and to know Him–the evident of Life in them.
You promptly end you discuss, no sooner than you begin it with: “So those that don’t want to listen to God’s Words they will be judged by the same word” Why is this condemnation necessary?
How do you think you have encouraged anyone, to avoid that condemnation you rendered to them,through a discuss of such weakness?
Well it is a good think that our God is a God of Love, full of mercy and compassion. even if the proud, the wicked and the evil doers will know the wrath of Holiness
Pastor Rawls, most people do not understand the reason they are the way they are. That was why Jesus prayed to the Father, on behalf of the Roman soldiers and the High priets, who mocked and laughed at Him, as He suffered on the cross for their sake. And Jesus said: “Father forgive them for they do not know what they do”.
Why can you not help them understand, before you speak the words of condemnation to them? No one understood you, based on the comments I have read here. I just know what you spoke about through spiritual wisdom and understanding in me.
Pastor Rawls when God’s Holy Spirit does His work through a person, this work does not go out in vain. People who are humble, and maintain faith will receive God’s work, through the person He works, by the authority of His Holy Spirit.
But just like most of the men/women, people, who claim that they are servants of God Almighty, but all they do is function with the menatlity of human wisdom and philosopy, you seem to be doing the same thing.
Let me remind you of the words of apostle Paul as he suggested Israel needs the Gospel. And so he said:
“For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then, shall they call on Him, in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him, of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent?” Romans 10: 13-15
In other words human beings cannot know God Almighty unless they hear about Him. But the person who speaks about God Almighty, is preacher, who is sent by God. This means that the man of God is a man who is indwelt by His Holy Spirit.
Finally by the faith of those who hear God will do the rest. For without faith, no one can please God.
But faith comes by hearing the Word of God, and we hear the Word of God from those who speak those words by the wisdom and revelation of God Holy Spirit in them.
A Person who is not indwelt by God’s Holy Spirit will not be effective in speaking God’s Word to others. Pastor Rawls——?
wat is this? a freaking essay>? why don’t u write a letter to Pastor Rawls? stupes
@liz,God knows all that are his,there are people that are simple not going to give their lives to God.all the Man is asking is why most people think they are right and God is wrong.look at some of the answers and you can see there are people that donot believe in Jesus.
@Elline
Yes, notice that I acknowledged what Pastor Rawls was saying before I said anything else.
All I am asking him is to use a little more spiritual wisdom throughout his teachings, as a preacher of God’s Words, that people might receive the Word of God’s Holy Spirit through him–if that is his work.
You should notice that most people have no respect for what he has to says. That is because his teachings are always weak in substance.
I also understand that some people are dead–existing with a carnal mind–and they will not hear anything that is about God, not even from Jesus Himself, if He was to be speaking to them through His own physical voice.
Just look at the response of the person called “nuts” to my comments–the name speaks for that individual–and you will understand what I am saying.
But God will not force us, we have to show Him that we truly desire to serve Him; otherwise we will demonstration weakness which does nothing for no one. What is the point?
Amen and Amen.You follow pastor rod.
“Take a look at homosexual behavior. Why a man who say he is a homosexual don’t get married to a woman that is a lesbian?”
This man is a jackass! But i’m not surprised, since christians are some of the stupidest people on the planet! all they know how to do is act morally superior to others. Why would someone who is HOMOSEXUAL marry someone of the opposite sex?!
@pre.med,takes one to know one,my friend.
Is you guys that think so ,Pastors for worldly profit.
Didn’t some ones suggest (twice) you ought not to write onthis blog?
@former ch.member,You are an A**,get a life your fool.
@President – get a damned grammar book out. Jeez, man. Embarrassing.
ITS ALL ABOUT PEOPLE SATISFYING THEMSELVES AND NOT GOD.TO MANY PEOPLE GOD IS JUST AN INTELLECTUAL EXERCISE .
Satisfying a figment of your imagination, you mean?
Well, Pastor Rawls Pacquette, it’s hard to take advice from a man who claims to be a fervent reader of the bible and who, nonetheless, is exceptionally prone to lazy grammatical errors. It’s more difficult, still, to accept your logic when you present no real argument. Your whole premise is that you are correct from the start, that the bible is true. Never once do you attempt to really inhabit your opponents’ shoes and see why they believe what they do. And this apparent lack of research on your part is a sad disgrace.
The fact that you are basing your entire system of beliefs on an ancient book written in a time in which people were utterly ignorant about most phenomena on Earth and otherwise is problematic enough. More problematic is that you uncritically accept this belief system that you inherited from missionaries from your enslavers. But the biggest problem? The biggest issue is that you can speak in this ignorant, absurdly biased way in an age in which we have access to a vast wealth of information on the Internet.
@freedom fighter,Are you a educated A** or a homo,follow God or end up in hell.
Johnnie Boy, I need not even ask what you are, since you’re clearly uneducated. If you did what I suggested and did some research instead of blindly listening to what you have been told to believe, you might learn something.
Stop being a boy. Educate yourself and become a meaning-making, self-reliant, critically thinking man. Critical thinking is one of the things that makes human beings truly stand out from the other animals (the other being art), and if you cannot critically examine the world around you, but simply follow dogma without a moment’s thought, you have lost the opportunity to become something significant.
Don’t follow the masses.
” It’s more difficult, still, to accept your logic when you present no real argument. Your whole premise is that you are correct from the start, that the bible is true”
Be that as it may, in the above quote, you need to remember there are absolutely no errors in the word of God.
The Bible is a perfect written book, it’s all a matter of interpretation, and if one believe they can interpret the Bible based on their intellect, they have already lost the war.
I agree that Pacquette may not be a professional writer, nor do I know how educated he may be academically, and that is why he appears to be simply pulling his concerns out of the sky, as in his his latest sentiment.
People who preach are also supposed to have a sound scholastic background, some people preach, though their knowledge of the word is limited:
That does not mean that person is not a true believer in God, however, does that mean that person is call by God to preach?
For many are called but few are chosen!
He may be a believing Christian, however, preaching on a pulpit may not be his calling; he would have to find that out for himself.
Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque
Mr, Telemaque, I refer to your statement “The Bible is a perfect written book”.
Sir, my comment is that if in Form-I I was to write an essay that has as many controdictions as the Bible that it takes a lifetime to try to explain them and still cannot, then I would have achieved a resounding F-minus. But if you find it perfectly written, then I can only say that it takes all types to make the world.
Francisco one who is called does not have to have a sound scholastic background as you indicated. What is needed is wisdom and which only the Father gives if you ask him and also the Holy Spirit. When you have a relationship with your maker, he does not care whether you did not attend school. Some of us who attended school seem to think that nothing is beyond the reach of those who were not as ‘Educated as we are” . On another note I have seen so called ‘Educated Folks behave as though they had no commonsense. The two are not the same and some have one and not the other. When we look down on others then it is pompousness and arogance etc that is not displaying humility a very necessary ingredient for the Makers Kingdom.
@Freedom.. who controlls the internet? Man himself. Who placed these vast wealth of information on the net? Man himself.
The Bible is a very old History Book that never and will never die.
The Bible belongs to an era when ignorance was rife and the men in the dessert who wanted to control others would declare “Thus said the Lord”, and that became spiritual law. There are some things in the Bible that one is afraid to even mention in case mad minds decide to do them and claim that “The Bible made me do it”. Now more and more people are seeing through this monsterous farce and are turning away from it disappointed. They are also realizing that indeed the preachers preach only what they want to preach, but that the state of human souls really depend on their works – what they actually do and think. No doing your wickedness and sending wicked thoughts after people then go and dip in water and clap and babble in tongues and say the blood has saved you. What rubbish! Killing Christ was a bad act and we can never make it good, far less benefit from it. Such a selfish generation we are. God cannot be made a fool of.
More and more religion is going to have a hard time convincing man that they are anything but big business and controllers. The biggest financial con establishment on the face of the earth. The most cruel establishment on the face of the earth because it robs people not only their hard earned money but also their God-given mental capacity of discernment by suggesting that we should believe what they say rather than think our own thoughts with the brain God gave us. God turned His back from them a long time ago particularly since they repeatedly “revised” the Bible to suit their own ambitions then state that it is the written word of God, treating people like kittens whose eyes are not yet open.
Not even their version of the word of God is sacred to them. Whatever a preacher preaches against the most is the sin he is indulging in the most. The most they are worth is a good laugh. What I have taken as truth from the Bible is “Go and sin no more”, “Love ye one another”, and “By their fruits ye shall know them” The rest is codswallop prepared by too many deviant cooks. That goes also for that wicked killing religion, that has the hallmark of Satan stamped all over it.
THE DEVIL IS USING YOU RIGHT NOW AND YOU DONT KNOW IT.
You need to ask the Father for wisdom and read the Bible for yourself and then you will understand. The Holy Spirit will guide you if the Father gives this to you. Pray to him first and try to read the Bible for yourself.
We all killed Christ since he died for our sins and the Father is not asking us for much but to love one another as he has loved us. Accept his son who died for our sins and ask him to come into our heart which is desperately wickeed and to submit to him and to trust him. To do this we have to develop a personal relationship with our Maker through his Son.
A better question would be why do people rely on a book to tell them what’s right and what’s wrong instead of examining an issue and coming to a logical decision.
How does masturbation really affect us? How does having sex outside of marriage cause the world to descend into chaos? By increasing the chances of STDs and unplanned children? No – that’s cause by not using condoms properly. And last I checked your Pope spoke against them even in an AIDs ridden country like Africa.
People don’t chose to be gay any more than someone chooses to be straight. And even if it were a choice who are you to tell someone who they should be with cause of your personal beliefs. Would you like a Jehovah Witness doctor to say you can’t have a blood transfusion? Why is religion so obsessed with people’s sex lives?
Preach to your fellow Pastors and Priests. You may find more sins there.
@ Oh boy – Glad to see someone with some sense posting on here.
you must be the devils advocate .Wish you well on judgement day .
@ Oh Boy:
you hit the nail right on the head! I’ve NEVER understood why religions are so worried about people’s sex lives.
It still baffles me
to see black people supporting christianity and the bible, when slave owners used that very same christianity and that very same bible to JUSTIFY their “right” to own your black ass.
Wake up people!!!! I’m soo glad i think for myself. smh…
@ pre.med,some of the people who sold slaves in Africa were black,so what is your point.
Oh boy! I like that!
Tell Pre med that again. I have not gotten your point yet Pre Med!
keep sharing the good news of the lord as this is the purpose for which he choose us and ask us to spread the good news of the kingdom. sin will always be sin bro. god bless, guide and protect you in the name of JESUS CHRIST.
Yes no matter what .. there will still be those who do not believe on the Lord but we still have to preach the word to all Nations. Tell Prisoners that they are prisoners no more all by the Love of Jesus Christ who died on the Tree for our sins.
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his Righteousness ( Only he alone is righteous) and ALL other things will be added unto you. Eyes will be openned, and the Captives will be set free for they will know their Maker and will strive to get to know him more and more.
But Read revelations and you will understand that there will be two Harvest – Righteous and the other one – those who are not worthy. And mark you in Revelations – even as in the days of Pharoah, a lot of persons will harden their heart even when the plagues come as they will still blaspheme the Name of the Lord.
Food for thought so we understand why even now there are those who do not believe and all you need to do is believe and have faith in Our Maker.
