Is It Wrong To Argue Religion?
By Kenneth E. Thomas
"It is wrong to argue about religion"
Spiritual weaklings often times say
But bring up his favorite politician
And he will argue with you all day!
Yet some won’t argue religion or politics
Two very important subjects I would say
The one mostly bears on the here and now
The other where for eternity we will stay!
Some fight for their political candidate
Then are mute when the Lord is attacked
This just proves where their priorities lie
That their life is not on the right track!
Jesus the Christ often argued about religion,
If you say one shouldn’t you condemn my Lord
Jesus often condemned the Scribes and Pharisees
For their hypocrisy in dealing with God’s word!
He said we should "judge righteous judgment"
Which means show what’s wrong by God’s word
To say that all judging in therefore sinfully wrong
Flies in Jesus’ face and is therefore totally absurd!
We are told to "earnestly contend for the faith"
Which was "one time for all time delivered to saints"
So don’t let the naysayer cause you my dear brother
To give heed to his unbiblical and ungodly restraints!
(Matt. 15:1-9; Matt. 23:23-39; Jno. 7:24; 8:36-45; Isa. 1:18;
2 Tim. 4:1-8; Jude 3; 1 Thess. 5:21; Rom. 16:16-18).
