From Gary... Beyond hate


America has been a great country since its beginning. However, things are changing- political correctness, socialism, and liberalism are distorting this great land, almost to the point of being unrecognisable. The picture says that hate needs to be removed and it is right in that statement. I think we need to go a bit farther than that; consider the following...

Matthew, Chapter 13 (WEB)
 10  The disciples came, and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?” 

  11  He answered them, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but it is not given to them.   12 For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance, but whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.   13  Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they don’t see, and hearing, they don’t hear, neither do they understand.   14  In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says, 
‘By hearing you will hear, 
and will in no way understand; 
Seeing you will see, 
and will in no way perceive: 
  15  for this people’s heart has grown callous, 
their ears are dull of hearing, 
they have closed their eyes; 
or else perhaps they might perceive with their eyes, 
hear with their ears, 
understand with their heart, 
and should turn again; 
and I would heal them.’

Hate is evil; no one denies that. Go to the source of evil and you will find the heart that has rejected God. A heart that is dulled by sin, which in turn dulls the hearing, eyesight and reason. This sickness (verse 15) can only be cured by turning to God for healing. America will be great again, one person at a time, WHEN verse 15 is applied on a national level. Believe it, because it is true.
