Msg#2509 Really? He Gets Us?
What The Bible Says
Good Samaritan’s Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice
For God’s nation a “memorial” to how much God hates idolatry is written in Hebrew and lays in the Major Prophets of the Holy Bible. For the heathen nations a “memorial” to how much God hates fornication, particularly sodomy, lays at 31.56°N,35.47°E, the lowest place on earth, covered by a Dead Sea, over top of brimstone four miles deep! Previously in that valley, “Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD” (Gen.13:10). Today it’s landscape memorializing how much God hates sodomy.
When an apostate clergy from an apostate church “sanctified” Ithaca, NY as a “transgender sanctuary city”, she said, “ ‘jesus gets us’ because he was a transgender, he was homosexual, he fondled children, ‘he gets us’ because he had all our temptations.” Genuine Christians are justly repulsed; knowing that is “beyond the pale” of apostasy and deep into the depravity of blasphemy.
In God’s outspoken memorial against idolatry he said Israel and Judah’s sin was so vile “neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination” (Jer.32:34-35). In like manner, for mankind, in their vile fornications, indulged with reprobate minds (Rom.1:21-32), there are places Jesus’ mind never went. Yeah, “we have a great high priest, … Jesus the Son of God, … not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. … For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens” (Heb.4:14-15,7:26). Genuine Christians should be leery of the “He gets us” phrase and well versed in the “He saves us” phrase (Joh.3:17).
