Curtis' Totally Controversial Post

Lately, I've been reading some nonsense in the newspaper about certain celebrities (last name "John") trying to make Jesus of the Christian faith into the man they want Him to be. In this case, they saw him as nothing more than a super-intelligent gay man.

Well, stop the presses.

Guess what? That person has not been reading their bible lately. Some people in Western society are confused as to who God is, and what His name is. They are also confused about who Jesus is. I hold to the Bible which quotes Jesus saying:

"But from the beginning of creation, 'God made them male and female.' Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife..." Mark 10:6-7 ESV

This is Jesus quoting Genesis on God's plan for mankind.... man and woman... husband and wife. Jesus never advocated anything other than God's one and only plan for family and reproduction.

As for Jesus Himself, he took no earthly bride because He now has a spiritual bride, a corporate woman, the New Jerusalem. Read for yourself:

"Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready;" Revelation 19:7 ESV

If you want more teaching on who Jesus the Lamb is, or who his Wife is, I'll gladly talk about it in a separate post... but I think it's clear He's not gay. He does not change based on what times or people say. He is what the Bible says He is, at all times... and that's a good thing. He is Prince of peace, the true vine, the door, the Good Shepherd, the Sacrifice for sins. There is plenty of scripture to support the fact that He has a Holy Wife made up of his Church. Jesus is not a God for man's convenience. He is the Lord God and He will do things His way. He is who He says He is. Like it or not. But I urge you to like it, because He wants to show you the way back to God, and forgive you! There is hope!

"Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6, ESV

He shows me the Way by being the Way. He defines truth for me because He is truth. He breathes life into me because He is life. Only by faith toward Jesus.
