It's only your Opinion

That's Just Your Opinion


By Rev. Jack Barr

 

I have noted the many times that someone has said to me "That's just your Opinion"

I tell them that there is no gap between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2. That what they see is just a style of writing. I show them the proof in Genesis. They say "That's just your opinion. They believe in evolution.

I tell them that there was no death before Adam and Eve sinned. I show them proof in the Bible. They say "That's just your Opinion." They believe there were people who lived on earth before God destroyed earth and remade it.

I tell them that the word "beguiled" in Genesis 3:13 means "tricked" and does not mean "having sex". I show them proof in the bible, and in the dictionary. They say "That's just your opinion". They believe that Satan is the father of Cain, because Eve said she was beguiled by Satan.

I tell them that "The sons of God" in Genesis 6:2 are not fallen angels, but are of the line of Seth. I show them proof in the Bible. They say "That's just your Opinion." They believe the angels were having sex even though Jesus said that they did not.

I tell them that the Ark of Noah held only 8 humans total. I show them the proof in the Bible. They say "That's just your Opinion." They believe that there were several additional evil persons on board because it says "And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort." In Genesis 6:19.

I tell them that Noah had Dinosaurs on the Ark. I show them Proof in the Bible and show them Physical proof on the earth. They Say "That's just your Opinion." They believe in evolution and an old earth where the Dinosaurs died out millions of years ago.

I tell them that the Ark of Noah was big enough to hold every species of animal and their food. I show them what the Bible says, and the calculations of many scientist. They say "That's just Your Opinion. They refuse to believe that it is possible.

I tell them that the world wide Flood really happened. I show them Archeological proofs. They say "That's just your Opinion." They believe there were only local floods and man was not destroyed.

I tell them that God did bring Plagues upon Egypt to bring about the release of God's people the Jews. I show them ancient Egyptian writings which confirms the Bible story. They say "That's just your Opinion." They believe that there never was the Plagues or the crossing of the Red Sea.

I tell them that the Bible tells of scientific facts thousands of years before man discovered these facts. I show them proof in the Bible. They say "That's just your Opinion." They believe that God, and men, back then were too stupid to know.

I tell them that the entire Old Testament tells us that God himself is coming down to earth as Jesus Christ. I show them proofs in the Bible. They say "That's just your Opinion." They believe that Jesus was only a man.

I tell them that Jesus Christ himself repeatedly told the people that He Was God. I show them proofs in the Gospels, how the people at that time tried to kill him for saying it. They say "That's just your Opinion." They believe that the Bible is just a collection of stories.

I tell them that no one can have salvation and enter heaven without believing on Jesus Christ. I show them proof in the Bible that not even the Old Testament saints went to heaven until Jesus died on the cross. They say "That's just your Opinion." They believe that God is so loving that no one will go to Hell, that everyone will go to heaven regardless of what they worship on this earth.

I tell them that they must accept, and believe that the Bible is the Word of God. I show them proof that the bible says that this is the Word of God. They say "That's just your Opinion." They believe that they have the authority to change the words in the bible to read whatever way that They Want.

I tell them that All the early Christians took Communion every day because Jesus said that they were to do so. I show them proof verses in the Bible. They say "That's just your Opinion." They believe that the ordinance and sacrament of Communion is not important and only have it once or twice a year if that often.

I tell them to make themselves ready to be called into judgement. I show them proof scriptures which warn them. They say "That's just your Opinion." They believe that they will live forever and never have to face judgement.

I tell them that Jesus is returning in the clouds, very soon, to call his bride in what we call the Rapture. I showed them the signs that Jesus said would warn of his imminent return. They Say "That's just your Opinion. They believe that since he has not come yet that he will never come.

I tell them that I want to go to be with Jesus in heaven right now. I am ready and there will be nothing to hold me back when Jesus calls, not my wife, not my children, not my grandchildren, not my property, nor anything else. They say "I do not want to go yet. I want to Blank Blank first." I say "I am sorry that you will not be in the Rapture, for all who have the righteousness of Jesus Christ on them have a burning desire to be with Jesus Christ in heaven. And we look forward to that day, as a child looks forward to receiving a piece of candy." You can stay here if you want to, but I love Jesus and I am going to be with him just as soon as I can. And If you do not feel that way, then you are not part of the Bride.

My Lord God led me to write the following. You may use it any way that you can to glorify God. I place it into the public domain. I ask only that you not change any of it, neither adding to it , or taking away from it. It is written for the Glory of my Lord and God. For the Only Opinion that counts is the Opinion of God.
