The Greatest Mistake One Could Make

Grace, mercy, and truth will be with you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. 2 John 3 (NKJV)

In the precious and beautiful name of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.

During the 2016 presidential debate season, the only news station that I watch on television was seeking questions to ask the candidates.  When the final 2016 presidential debate was over, I had one regret, I didn’t send one.  Not that I didn’t have any questions needing to be asked, I just considered sending them to be a waste of time.  

After listening to some of the “potential” 2020 presidential candidates and how they believe that they’re the ones looking out for everyone’s best interest, I’m not waiting to be asked for questions this time around.  When the opportunity presents itself, I’m prepared for those candidates that come to speak locally.

I’ve had my question ready to send to the news channel, for quite some time now.  After a recent conversation with an individual that is not a presidential candidate in 2020, I’m getting it out there for all to see.  I will send the question to the news channel if they should happen to ask for them.

Here’s my question, just as it was written for the news station.

My name is Jim Masterson.  I live in the state of New Hampshire.

This is my question to all the 2020 presidential candidates.

I say turning ones back to God’s plan of salvation is the greatest mistake one could make, and the second is just like it, adding to or subtracting from what has been clearly laid out for us in the [Bible].  What would you say is the greatest mistake one could make?

Thanks for taking my question.

God bless.

In His Care… Jim

This individual and I agreed on some things, and had our differences with others.  The conversation, which centered on mistakes made in the past concerning equality for all peoples here in the United States of America alone, was moving along smoothly.  I certainly agreed with mistakes being made in the past but the conversation came to a screeching halt when I included all peoples of the world, and put the blame on “sin nature.”  This individual was not happy with my shifting the blame from a specific “group” of people from the past and to the source of the problem, which can [easily] be traced back to the Garden of Eden.   

The conversation ended without incident.  I’m sure those within hearing distance of it left with something to think about.  I left trusting the all-knowing God of the [Bible], that a good seed was planted that day.

Allowing people to say/believe whatever they like, is the correct thing to do.  For me to confess to believing in Jesus and give no reason for others to believe the same, is the wrong thing to do.  I don’t need to wave the [Bible] in the air, to let others know that it is [really] best for them.

The way I see it we can say/believe whatever we like about the way things are, but God’s plan of salvation is the key.  Has to whose [really] interested in looking out for everyone’s best interest, or not.  As one who loves Jesus, and who’s not ashamed to tell others about Him, I say preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ is the safest thing one could do.  People need to know why Jesus had to die on a cross for the sin of the world.  This is the centerpiece of God’s plan of salvation.  Believing in Jesus, according to the [Scriptures], keeps one from having to be concerned about the cares of this world.

God bless.
