Step Six: Consider America Today.
Step Six: Consider America Today.
Consider America today, as compared to the heathen. First, let me re-emphasize a popular misconception. "If all people hear the Gospel, that Christ died, was buried and rose again to pay for their sins; they will believe and receive His promise of everlasting life." (John 3:16). If that were true, then why do those in Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormonism, Christian Science, Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. totally reject salvation as a free gift, without their own self-righteousness of good works included. All these have access to the truth, through radio, television, and print, that a person is only saved one way.
"For by grace are ye saved through faith: and that not of yourselves: it is the gift (eternal life) of God, NOT OF WORKS, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9).
Yet, they totally reject the truth!
Just because people living in the jungles and bush country have not advanced in the technology of agriculture, medicine, sciences, etc.; this does not qualify them as "heathen," as we think. Many of these tribes have a higher value on life, marriage and the family than America does. It is estimated that 4,000 babies, daily, are slaughtered by abortion in America.
Lesbians and homosexuals have brainwashed America to the point most of the schools are teaching our young people to accept this as an "alternative" lifestyle; instead of what God calls it, "Plain, old perverted sin!" Of all the missionary books I have read, I do not recall any of the missionaries encountering the problem of homosexuality in the bush tribes. Many of the so-called heathen execute the death penalty for adultery because of their values concerning the home and family.
Look at America! We even have our pulpits being saturated with homosexual and lesbian so-called preachers, with a Bible ON the pulpit in which they do not even believe. Some of the peoples and tribes we call "heathen" are more civilized than our so-called educated people in America, including our Supreme Court!
Look at the educated fools (Psalms 14:1) who saturate our grade schools, high schools, and colleges with their agnostic, and atheistic, ideologies of false science (evolution). (1 Timothy 6:20). All of these are born with a knowledge there is a God who created them. All have access to God's Word, the Bible. All can observe the evidences of God, their Creator, in Astronomy, Botany, true Science, the wonder of living creatures—yet, deny the truth. This leads us to consider Step Seven, the conclusion.
