The Alternative (Part V): The Chosen Path

“Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.”

-The Apostle Paul to The Church at Corinth

The chains bind them. Their legs. Their arms. Their hands and their feet. Rusted steel caressing every inch of their flesh. Around their necks. Suffocating. Around their face. Lips tasting the bitterness. Around their eyes. Blinding. Every bit of their outer and inner being. Yet their natural conscience allows them a glimpse of reality through the links that cross their eyes. But they cannot conform to this reality. This truth. To answer its call would mean that they must fall on their sword. The lie that they keep. That they embrace. They must confess. They cannot.

Sadly The Alternative has created a painting of abstract expressionism disguised as surrealism. Pollock meets Dali. Nothing makes sense. You are expected to release yourself from your sense of what you see. What you know. From reality. From truth. Cursed be thy being for not playing along with the foolish game. Haven’t you heard the news? Men are women. Women are men. Children are sexual objects. No one is anything. Everyone is nothing. The Deceiver’s invitation has arrived. Let the show begin.

Minds have been broken to accept the polar opposite of natural design. One by one they have fallen. Time has revealed that the ceasing isn’t anytime soon. The Unregenerate have danced with it since the dawn of time. Then the Regenerate cut in. Yes. You may have this dance as well. Redesigning God into god, they brought him into the song. Remixed. A god that loves. A love so deep that Sin becomes meaningless. A purposeless death for the Christ. Their idol does not stand in contrast to The Deceiver. For he is another incarnation of The Unholy.

In Genesis 1:28 The Father told us that The Alternative is a sin because His design for sex is for marriage. Procreation and the growing of the family is the endgame. In Matthew 19:4-6 The Son reminded us that it is reserved for man and woman. Any other combination cannot conform to the design and is thus a distortion to God’s plan. A perversion of truth. The Churches at Corinth (1 Cor.6:9) and Rome (Rom.1:26-27) were reminded of this through The Spirit. There is no way to argue against it. The Holy Trinity stands opposed to The Alternative. To say otherwise is to speak for another god. One fashioned from the likeness of Yahweh. Bathed in love. Lacking justice.

Just another dumb idol fit for the furnace.

Like madmen they are. Innocent was the flag that they bore. Equal marriage they sought. Then the floodgates bowed in submission. They took the inch and traversed the globe. Perversion runs rampant in the streets. Both physically and psychologically. Nude bodies dance proudly before children as abusive parents subject their innocence to a mind rape. Eyes that are forever burned with things that were once unspeakable. Eyes that cannot unsee. And The Alternative laughs. “Look, Christians, at what we are doing to your world. To your children. They are ours. Their minds are ours for molesting”. One by one they distort The Truth. Lies are rebranded. Don’t believe what you see. What you know. Destroy the stone that it was once set in. “It is the only way to convince them to live The Lie with us. There is NO TRUTH.”

The chains tighten. It hurts so good, doesn’t it?

There is only one hope. A hope with two paths. Like Morpheus said: “You take the blue pill… the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill… you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.” What path lies ahead for The Alternative? In life Truth always prevails. A Lie can run only until it runs out of lies. Even the accusers of The Christ could not get their lies to agree. Because lies lack the one thing that can ground them in sustenance: Truth.

Truth will prevail. But when? There is the first option. The falling to one’s knees at the foot of Calvary’s Tree. The confession to The Son that hung there by three nails and bled upon His crown of thorns. The admittance of one truth. His Truth. The one that has been trespassed against. The begging for Forgiveness undeserved. But only granted by Grace. By Mercy. By Love. An acceptance of Regeneration within. A need for Repentance. A desire to feast at the Holy Table. To watch the chains break. To walk away. To never look back to Sodom and Gomorrah. To die day by day. To live day by day. Eyes wide open. 

“… that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

-The Apostle Paul to The Church at Rome

The second option is to dig the nails into The Alternative. To grasp it with unbridled passion. To proclaim with pride that The Lies are indeed The Truth. To stab with tongue those of The Way. To deny anyone that embraces The Natural. To reprimand those that hold on to Absolute Truth. To lacerate those that do not play the game. To spit in the face of God. To curse His design. To proclaim the fallacy of The Holy One, while embracing the fake followers and their fake god. To darken the door of their fake churches that promote Sin in the name of “love”. Their Alternative Pastors. Alternative Word. Alternative Gospel. Alternative god. To run the tracks until you are derailed. To have passed by the last chance that Time has given. It is too late.

But we know. The Alternative attacks the True Church. Why? Because deep within the caverns of their soul, despite what their lips proclaim, they know that there is a God. And they know that they stand in offense to Him (Rom 1:18-19). They cling to The Alternative “churches” because they give them what they want to hear. They attack The Way because they refuse to bow down and give it to them. It is Acceptance. Not just a desire to hear that they are approved. No. But a desire to hear that God approves (2 Tim 4:3-4). That there is no condemnation. 

They’re correct. There is no condemnation. However, only for those that have confessed Christ as Savior. For those that have bowed the knee.

The chains that bind bear the name “Sin”. Sin wears the crown “Condemnation”. There is only One that can release the rusty cold steel from the flesh. Only One that can break its crown.

 “But I was born this way!”

We all are born into the hands of The Deceiver.

“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.”

-The Apostle Paul to The Church at Rome
