The Holy Furious Association, Marian Budde, may have “mercy” and “compassion” to Donald Trump, an illegal immigrant and the LGBTQ community (include “transgender children”). He sued and became the latest person in resistance.
Aside from politics, Budde's message raises important questions. Did Budde talk about the truth as a church bishop and as a servant of Jesus Christ's gospel?
Did the message reflect the truth of the Bible completely?
If you look in detail, the answer is clear. “No”.
There is no doubt that Budde has appealed to Christian values (that is, “mercy” and “caring”). Mercy and sympathy are the first principles of Christian ethics, and Christianity was the most mercy and most sympathetic to the vulnerable and oppressed people. Budde stood in front of the most powerful man on the earth and demanded such ethics, so she had a “prophecy” voice because she talked about “the truth about power.” It led to the praise of being.
But what does it mean to show mercy and feel sympathy?
The Bible says a lot about mercy and sympathy. Probably the most important thing is what God is saying about themselves in connection with these attributes.
It is described as the following in the 34: 6-7
“and [God] After passing in front of Moses, he declared, “The Lord, the Lord, is the god of mercy and grace, is full of anger, the faithful and truth of the contract, continues to protect the love of the contract for Chiyo. I forgive the sin and sin, but I am not completely acquitted about my third and fourth generation of my son and son. “
God is identified as a characteristic that sympathy and mercy are the center of his own personality. However, God has linked his mercy, mercy, and the love of the contract with justice, holy, and truth.
The Bible's mercy and sympathy do not ignore sin, injustice, or fraud. Rather, showing mercy and sympathy is to give gifts that are moved by someone's need and cannot be obtained for free. Jesus shows mercy and sympathy many times through the Gospel, healing the sick, giving his invisible eyesight, and forgiven his sins.
But his mission was to preach the gospel, that is, the good news about the country of God. The announcement always includes a call to the repentance.
Jesus was said in Mark 1:15, “Time has come. The country of God is approaching. Believe in good news again.”
It is clear from the Bible that “mercy” and “compassion” are more than empathy. They are not just emotions or abstract virtues. Mercy and sympathy are related to human relationships, and are always linked to God's truth. God not only satisfies physical needs, but also shows mercy and mercy by satisfying spiritual needs, eventually give us a free gift of salvation, and settle us with God. You will be guided.
In the Bible framework, justice, truth, mercy, and sympathy are intertwined with each other and are never separated (Mika 6: 8).
This is the defect of the Budde message.
Buddy's behavior is decorated with Christian words and emphasizes grace, but she reflects the world's secular values such as positive, unconditional acceptance, and emotional sympathy. We are redefined “compassion”. As a result, the gospel is lacking and a message separated from the truth of the Bible is born.
God's mercy is a free gift that expands grace and We confront sin and ultimately invite us to religion and obedience.
Truth, repentance, and mercy and sympathy without justice are affirm that enables sin.
As CS Lewis wrote in famous, “The mercy separated from justice becomes more and more ruthless.”
BUDDE wants the mercy and compassion for the LGBTQ community. But do she want their repentance like God?
The mercy and sympathy for the LGBTQ community requires gospel, calling for repentance, and invitation to freedom only in Christ. The important thing is that the mercy and compassion for “transgender children” includes the lies of transgender ideology and those who enable them to cut their bodies. 。
God's mercy is a free gift that expands grace and We confront sin and ultimately invite us to religion and obedience.
Christians must take care of their weak people, or the widow, orphans, and the poor. And the resident。 That is what Christians have always been, and Christians will continue to do it.
But true mercy not only reduces physical needs. It provides a spiritual preparation and draws people to God through Christ.
Budde ignored God's spirit by focusing on the suspicion of social fear in a message that smells of advanced politics. whole I couldn't convey the power of the gospel transformation that Christ demonstrated through the mercy and mercy of sinners.
Budde's message comforts the liberal people, but ignores Christ and God's truth.
