Jesus on Trial - NY Times Shuns Best Selling Christian Author & Attorney David Limbaugh

By Elizabeth Nelson


Liberals love to parrot that Christian values are not being oppressed, but isn't that the only thing that is oppressed today, when even Obama says "we are no longer a Christian Nation." When he, not by his words but by his very actions has chosen his "favorite faith," his Muslim faith.  He frees the most dangerous in Gitmo, the Taliban five for a deserter Muslim. 


However, Obama refuses to free our Marine, "left behind" in a Mexican jail or lift a finger to try to free a Christian Pastor in Iran. So, is it any wonder that the world, and even our Country, is following Obama's lead - as is the custom when America sets the path, in persecuting Christians and Jesus' name? Now the NY Times is Ostracizing a bestselling Christian author and Attorney David Limbaugh, because he's putting Jesus on Trial before the world?






It's as simple as the liberal "tolerant, open minded" Left way or the other way, the Conservative Right way. 

The liberal "tolerant, open minded" way or the other way says:


 "Do as we say, think as we think, say as we say and everyone will be happy. However, if

you go against our collective hive, and try to think on your own and use common sense, we'll call you, 'narrow-minded, racist, domestic terrorists and dangerous.'"
  
The other side, the Conservative, right leaning way says:

In a nutshell: here's Jesus, who loved you enough to die for us all and our sin. He paid for it so we wouldn't have to go to hell.
 

God loved us so that "when we were in our sin
Christ Jesus came to die for us."
 Romans 5:8

"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God," Romans 3:23

"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in
Christ Jesus our Lord."
 Romans 6:23


Second Corinthians 5:21 says, "He who knew no sin became sin for us, that
we may be made the righteousness of God through Him."


Watch a visual example of my point, as Frank Turek (author of I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist) answers a young atheist's (Carter's) questions on morality, atheism and the existence of God, Heaven and Hell:




How can you receive God's free gift of love and life?

"that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart
that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a
person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he
confesses, resulting in salvation."
Romans 10:9-10


A person receives God's free gift of love and life by placing faith in Jesus 
Christ. To believe is simply to take God at His word. With our heart 
(whole believing) we believe that Jesus is God's Son who died for our sin 
on the cross and arose from the grave to live in us as Savior and Lord.

To believe in Jesus will result in confessing that faith with one's mouth.

Do you acknowledge that you are a sinner?

Do you believe by faith that Jesus, God's Son, died for your sin on the cross?

Will you now confess Him as your Savior and Lord?


"for Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved." Romans 10:13
Will you now call upon Jesus to save you from your sin so that you
can know God's love and forgiveness?


Pray like this: "Dear God, I confess that I am a sinner, and I am sorry. I need
a Savior. I know I cannot save myself. I believe by faith that Jesus, your
Son, died on the cross to be my Savior. I believe He arose from the grave
to live as my Lord. I turn from my sin. I ask You, Lord Jesus, to forgive my
sin and come into my heart. I trust you as my Savior and receive you as
my Lord. Thank you, Jesus, for saving me."


When anyone calls on the Lord in this manner, that one is saved according
to God's Word
. If you pray a prayer of repentance and faith, you are saved.
You have God's word on it.

If you have prayed this prayer to receive Christ as your Lord and Savoir, why
not record your decision to follow Jesus as follows. Often times, a good place
to write this would be inside the cover of your bible:

Believing by faith that God loves me and sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die
for my sin and arise from the grave to live in me, I, _______, do this day,
 ________, repent of my sin and accept Jesus Christ as my personal Lord
and Savior. According to the promise of God in Romans 10:13, I have
called upon His name and have His word for the assurance of my salvation.
The difference is after you've heard about Jesus, you have the choice to walk away and either accept him as your Savior or don't, it's your CHOICE. We care if you accept him or not, but we aren't going to think ill of you if you don't and we aren't going to take your head if you choose to walk away from Christ. 

It's about a relationship with Christ, that's all he or any of us wants, it's not a cult that we want you to join. The choice is between Heaven or Hell, it's your CHOICE which you're going to walk into. Neither we or Christ is going to force you to choose. He a "loving God," who gave you "free will."
