Sorry Roger Simon, But Jesus Forgives And Forgets Our Sins

I found this article in the Chicago Sun Times...click here.
Roger Simon wrote the article and I view it as another liberal trying to smear a Republican candidate for president so I take these things with a grain of salt. Roger is probably a slippery little liberal himself but I'm not here to make judgements which Roger is definitely doing in his assessment of Newt Gingrich.
The article is titled "Sins Forgiven, Not Forgotten?". He points to Newt's past transgressions and says that it is fair for all of us to hold these transgressions against Newt and that these "sins" are the reason Newt should not be a serious candidate for our lands highest office.
First, let me say that we all need to be very careful about dwelling on other peoples shortcomings since the Bible declares "there are none righteous, no not one" and "all have sinned and come short of the glory of God". Second, I don't like Roger's title. You see, the truth of the matter is that God through Jesus Christ forgives sin and forgets sin. That is something that human beings cannot do. We may have the power and the obligation to forgive but we do not have the capacity to forget.

Heb 8:12
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

Heb 10:17
And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

I like good news, don't you? That my friends is good news! I have heard Newt Gingrich say that he has sought God's forgiveness and I'm not going to doubt him. That is between him and the Lord, and if he has sought God's forgiveness through Christ then God has forgotten his sins.
So much for Roger Simon and Newt. Let's talk about you...have you been forgiven or are your sins still in God's record books?  Are you struggling with guilt? Trust in what Jesus did on the cross to be sufficient payment for your sins. Believe in Jesus and God will forgive all your sins and forget all your sins!

Santorum: A Forgiven Man And A Loving Dad

Today I wanted share a story I read about Rick Santorum, I found this on NPR's site...http://www.npr.org/blogs/itsallpolitics/2012/01/30/146105024/santorum-familys-trisomy-18-saga-casts-spotlight-on-sad-condition
Santorum's little 3 year old daughter has a disease that she acquired in the womb called trisomy 18. It is a disease involving the 18th chromosome in the human DNA. This defect kills nearly all children who develope it and it causes severe disabilities one of them being great difficulty in swallowing. This inability to swallow effectively results in numerous cases of aspiration pneumonia. His daughter, Bella, had a serious case of pneumonia last week and that is the reason that Santorum wasn't down in Florida campaigning. I just want to say that I'm a huge admirer of Rick Santorum because of his fierce pro-life stance and Bella is a living testimony to Rick's pro-life convictions. You see, most women find out about trisomy 18 before the baby is born and most women abort  the child. Yes, you heard me, I said child not "fetus". The Bible refers to babies developing in the womb as "children".

Genesis 25

²¹And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

 ²²And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD. 

Of course the "children" within Rebekah were Jacob and Esau and they were not referred to as a fetus or an embryo...they were children. Our murderous culture bristles at these kinds of comments but I would rather God be true and every man a liar. Thank God for men like Rick Santorum who didn't cast off a human life because it was flawed. And thank God the Father that He didn't cast off the whole of mankind because we were flawed in our very DNA with the defect of sin. All have sinned and there are none righteous no not one! I am so glad that He didn't dispose of me but He sent a Saviour, Christ the Lord! You might disagree with my pro life view but I don't think you can disagree with the fact that you are a hopeless sinner. Time is running out, His coming draws nigh and your death draws near. Have you been Saved? Are you forgiven? Check out the little video in the right sidebar and let me know if you trusted Christ as your Saviour.

The Tree Of life: Hollywood Or The Bible

Well the 2012 Oscar nominations are out for best picture and the movie "The Tree of Life" is one of the favorites to win. No doubt it is a favorite because Brad Pitt and Sean Penn are starring in this flick. As I have said on numerous occasions, I believe we are living in the last days and that it would behoove every human being to make sure they have found forgiveness through the work of Jesus Christ. Anyway, I found it very ironic that in these end times we have a Oscar level movie called the Tree of Life. Here is an excerpt from a  review by the New York Times back in May of 2011...

The Day of Judgment, prophesied for last weekend, has apparently been postponed, but moviegoers eager for rapture can find consolation — to say nothing of awe, amazement and grist for endless argument — in “The Tree of Life,” Terrence Malick’s new film, which contemplates human existence from the standpoint of eternity. Recently showered with temporal glory at the Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Palme d’Or, this movie, Mr. Malick’s fifth feature in 38 years, folds eons of cosmic and terrestrial history into less than two and a half hours. Its most provocative sequences envision the origin of the universe, the development of life on earth (including a few soulful dinosaurs) and then, more concisely and less literally, the end of time, when the dead of all the ages shall rise and walk around on a heavenly beach. 

It's amazing that in two hours Hollywood will attempt to tell us about the universe,eternity,  life and the end of time but will mock and ridicule Bible believing Christians for warning people of the judgement to come! No, the Tree of Life is not to be found in the movies but in the Bible. The phrase is found 10 times in Scripture, it is first found in Genesis 2 and found the last time in Revelation 22.

Genesis 2:9

King James Version (KJV)

 ⁹And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Revelation 22:2

King James Version (KJV)

 ²In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

The tree of life is found in the Garden of Eden and the Heavenly City, the New Jerusalem. The tree of life is a "type" or a "shadow" of the Lord Jesus Christ. If one would desire eternal life and forgiveness of sin they must turn to Christ and trust in what He did on the cross to be payment for their sins. How bizarre that a movie is named after the Redeemer and Saviour! Awe and amazement are found in Jesus not Hollywood. Make sure you have found the real Tree of Life!
