Recently in the News… that has been, ‘once again’ another ‘futile’ attempt by those misguided persons to bring about a change in the “moral fiber” of this nation, America. Most do not remember that about 15-years ago, Billy Graham signed such a document and encouraged “many”… to do the same. Perhaps what we learn is that… “Unless we know history, we are soon to Repeat it!”
(1Corinthians 2:14) But the = natural man [Not Born Again] = does ‘Not’ = receive = the things = of the Spirit of God, = for = they are = “Foolishness” = to him; = neither = can he = ‘Know’ them, = because = they are = spiritually discerned.

If you will simply… examine this document you will see some interesting things. Some of those groups signing this document are not Real Christians. Do you want your name in with those that ‘Do Not’… believe the Bible as you do? How about if a “Jehovah Witness”, who are not Biblical Christians… sign this document? Simply put… did you ever see these Bible verses before?

(2John 1:9-10-11) Everyone = transgressing = and = not abiding = in the doctrine of Christ = does not have God. = He who abides = in the doctrine of Christ, = he has both = the Father and the Son.
(2Jn 1:10) If = “ANYONE” = comes to you =and = does not = bring this doctrine, = “Do NOT” = receive him = into your house, = “NOR” = speak = ‘a greeting’ = to him.
(2Jn 1:11) For = he who = speaks = ‘a greeting’ = to him = “Is Partaker” = of his Evil deeds.
About now someone is saying… “I never read that Bible verse before or even knew that it was in there!” When you are ‘validating’ one, that does not hold to… “The Doctrine of Christ”… you are in essence saying, “It’s all right what you believe even though it goes against what God, the God of the Bible says in His Word!” You ‘Actions’ speak as well as your ‘Words’. Yes, it is simples as that. What is the Doctrine of Christ…? Simply… “John 12:44-to-50”

(James 1:22) Keep on = being doers = of the “Word”, = and = not ‘merely’ = “Hearers” = ‘who’ = “Deceive themselves”.
Now as to the context… of that document. If you will simply read it, you will see that it ‘Does Not’ hold one accountable to God Alone… for their actions. Simple Question: “Do you believe All the Bible from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21…?” If you say ‘Yes’, then you are correct for it is the “Truth of God!” Can you read the Manhattan declaration and say that… it ‘contains’… the same Truth… of the “Word of God?” No you cannot, because, man’s ‘opinions’ are added into it.
(Numbers 23:19) God = is ‘not’ = a man = that = He should Lie, = Neither = the son of man = that He = should repent. = Has He said, = and = shall He = not do it? = Or has = He spoken, = and = shall He = ‘not’ = make it good?
In another of my Blogs… I made the statement that Satan’s Camp… is in the Church. No not in the real body and bride of Christ Jesus… but in the organized Church. He comes as an… ‘Angel of Light’ along with his ministers and workers… “2Corinthains 11:13-14-15.”… The world is blinded already as well as those that have 'REJECTED'… “The Finished work of Christ Jesus, the Messiah!” …“2Corinthains 4:3-to-6.”… How much more… with such a document, such as the Manhattan Declaration…?
(Isaiah 29:13) And = Jehovah said, = Because = this ‘people’ = draw near Me = with their ‘mouth’, = and = with their ‘lips’ = honor Me, = but = have ‘removed’ = their “heart” = far from = Me, = and = their ‘fear’ = toward Me [Fear of God] = is = taught by = the command of men;
How many times… have you read in the Gospels where, “Christ Jesus”… derided the ‘Religious’ of His day, for their “Substitution” of the Word of God… by their… “Tradition of the Elders?” Is this not the same thing we are experiencing today? If you are old enough [senior], you will remember the… “I Found IT” campaign and maybe even the “Moral Majority?” There were the same thing, “Smoke without Fire!” The Moral Majority was… Neither!
(Mark 7:7-8-9) However, = they worship Me = in ‘vain’, = teaching = for doctrines = the ‘commandments of men’."
(Mark 7:8) For = laying aside = “the commandment of God”, = you hold = the ‘tradition’ of men, = the dipping of pots and cups. = And “MANY” = other such things = you do.
(Mark 7:9) And He [Jesus] = said to them, = Do you ‘do well’ = to “set aside” = “the commandment of God”, = so that = ‘you’ = may keep = your own = tradition?

So too today… many of the Denominations have ‘put away’… so very much of the Bible! So today even many of the Churches have ‘ordained’… “Homosexual Men & Women Pastors!” And yet, those ‘sitting in the pews’… have gone as though there… “Were Nothing Wrong?” So the decline of those that… ‘Really Believe’… “The Bible to be the Only Authority”… for those that are ‘Really Born Again’… “Real Child of God!”… is Obvious to those that… “Really ‘Know’ Jesus!”
(Matthew 7:21-22-23) Not = ‘everyone’ = who says to “Me” [Jesus], = Lord! = Lord! = shall enter = the kingdom of Heaven, = but = he who ‘does’ = the will [Word] =of My Father in Heaven.
(Matt 7:22) “MANY” = will say = to Me = in that day, = Lord! = Lord! = Did ‘we’ = not prophesy = in Your name, = and = through = Your name = throw out demons, = and = through Your name = do = “MANY” = wonderful works?
(Matt 7:23) And then = I [Jesus] = will say = to ‘them’ = I = “Never” = knew “You!” = Depart from Me, = those working = lawlessness!
Have you signed their ‘document’…? Have they provided an ‘option’… to un-sign your signature from it? That is the first thing you need to look for. Most legal documents have an ‘option to rescind’ to protect all parties. Many do not know about this option. Perhaps I may ask you, have you ever known of any petition that has brought about any real social change? Prohibition of alcohol only brought a criminal enterprise which did ‘more harm than good’. Man’s futile attempts to… “Leave the God of the Bible”… out of society has… “Only Caused More Problems”. So too will this… “Manhattan Declaration”.

“SOME”… have so Sugar Coated the Gospel… that they ‘Never’… speak of the “Coming Eternal Damnation”… of those that… “Reject God and His Word”…!
Do you as a Christian… share the Truth of the Word of God… with your friends? There are many sites on the internet and I constantly see… “Claiming Christians”… substituting writings of others, videos, musical presentations for the Holy Word of God! Where in the Scriptures… are we told to do… such things? “…No Where!” Some misguided persons do not really believe the Scriptures… and… what we are told in them…?
(Jude 1:20-to-23) But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
(Jud 1:21) keep yourselves in the love of God, eagerly awaiting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to everlasting life.
(Jud 1:22) But pity some, making distinction.
(Jud 1:23) But save others with fear, snatching them out of the fire; hating even the garment having been stained from the flesh.
(1Corinthains 16:22) If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. The Lord comes!
(1Peter 4:17-18) For the time has come for the judgment to begin from the house of God. And if it first begins from us, what will be the end of those disobeying the gospel of God?
(1Pet 4:18) And if the righteous one is scarcely saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
(2Corinthains 5:10-11) For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive the things done through the body, according to that which he has done, whether good or bad.
(2Cor 5:11) Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men. But we are revealed to God, and I trust also that we are revealed in your consciences.
(2Timothy 4:2-3-4) Preach the Word, be instant in season and out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine.
(2Tim 4:3) For a time will be when they will not endure sound doctrine, but they will heap up teachers to themselves according to their own lusts, tickling the ear.
(2Tim 4:4) And they will turn away their ears from the truth and will be turned to myths.
(Ezekiel 2:7) And you shall speak My Words to them, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear, for they are rebellious.
(Jeremiah 1:8) Do not be afraid of their faces; for I am with you to deliver you, says Jehovah.
Isn’t it about time ‘You’… left off all those ‘Religious Trappings’… and went back to the Pure Milk of the Word of God [1Peter 2:2-3]…? Preaching of the Word of God… is the way to lead people to Christ Jesus! I have had people tell me, “I don’t want to ‘turn off’ anyone from Jesus!” Well, they are turned off Already! You speaking the Words of God… will only fulfill the Command of Scripture to You! Do you know what that Command of Scripture to You… “IS?”
(Ezekiel 3:18-to-21) When I say to the wicked, You shall surely die; and you do not give him warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked one shall die in his iniquity; but I will require his blood at your hand.
(Ezek 3:19) Yet if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.
(Ezek 3:20) And when the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and when I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die. Because you have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand.
(Ezek 3:21) But if you warn the righteous so that the righteous does not sin, and if he does not sin, he shall surely live because he is warned; also you have delivered your soul.
