Compromise
In the following text I am going to be very blunt and to the point, which just so happens to
be to topic of conversation on this page.  The World of "Political Correctness" and
"
Can't we all get along?" has destroyed our morals and our ability to stand for something
holy.

We are so easily given over to compromise that we are in danger of the fire of hell.  The
Father states He knows His children, and you can bet the devil knows his.  If we know
something to be right, why would we in anyway compromise what we know to be the
truth?  Answer: We generally want the approval of those around us and we are just to
weak in our walk to do what is right.  As you read the scriptures, you will notice Yeshua
hates compromise.  

Matthew 5:37 The Scriptures 1998+  (37)  “But let your word ‘Yea (G3483) ’ be ‘Yea,’
and your ‘No (
G3756)’ be ‘No.’ And what goes beyond these is from the wicked one.

G3483 ναι nai nahee
A primary particle of strong affirmation; yes: - even so, surely, truth, verily, yea, yes.

G3756 οὐ ou oo
Also οὐκ ouk ook used before a vowel and οὐχ ouch ookh before an aspirate.
A primary word; the absolutely negative (compare G3361) adverb; no or not: - + long,
nay, neither, never, no (X man), none, [can-] not, + nothing, + special, un ([-worthy]),
when, + without, + yet but. See also G3364, G3372.

Not once did He ever state we should give up what we know as the truth so we can fit in,
or to make someone happy or feel comfortable.  Truth is truth!!!  What we say and how
we live determines what kind of relationship we have with our Creator.  He would Never
condone us ever to give in to what is wrong, or to go along with the crowd just to keep the
peace.  He wants us to stand for something, and that something is to live as He lived.  

He stated He wants us to pick up our cross and follow Him.  What, did you think walking
in His steps, and going through adverse conditions in life would be easy?  Right is right,
and no matter how you try to twist it, wrong will always be wrong.  He did not ever state
we needed to
just be peace makers when it came to matters of right and wrong.  We do
not need to worry about whether or not we are being dividers when we live according to
His Torah, because by living as He has commanded us to live, we will always cause
division between the up-right and the fallen, and even between believes who compromise.

Matthew 10:34 The Scriptures 1998+  (34)  “Do not think that I have come to bring
peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword,
1 Footnote: 1 In Lk. 12:51 the
word “division” is used, while “sword” has the same meaning here.

I am in no way stating we need to cause trouble, or pick a fight.  I am just saying if we
live as He has commanded us to live, we are going to have trouble getting along with
everyone, and that is OK because all we need to worry about is doing what is right in His
eyes.  He made the rules, and He will protect our souls if we do what is right.

Colossians 4:6 The Scriptures 1998+  (6)  Let your word always be with favour
(
G5485), seasoned with salt, so that you know how you ought to answer each one.

G5485 χάρις charis khar'-ece
From G5463; graciousness (as gratifying), of manner or act (abstract or concrete; literal,
figurative or spiritual; especially the divine influence upon the heart, and its reflection in
the life; including gratitude): - acceptable, benefit, favour, gift, grace (-ious), joy
liberality, pleasure, thank (-s, -worthy).

Revelation 3:15-16 The Scriptures 1998+  (15)  “I know your works, that you are neither
cold nor hot. I would that you were cold or hot.  (
16)  “So, because you are lukewarm,
and neither cold nor hot, I am going to vomit you out of My mouth.

Matthew 5:18-20 The Scriptures 1998+  (18)  “For truly, I say to you, till the heaven and
the earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall by no means pass from the Torah till all be
done.
1 Footnote: 1 Lk. 16:17.  (19)  “Whoever, then, breaks one of the least of these
commands, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the reign of the heavens; but
whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the reign of the heavens.  (
20)  
“For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees,
1 you shall by no means enter into the reign of the heavens. Footnote: 1 Mt. 15:3-9, Mk. 7:7-
13, John 7:19, Acts 7:53, Rom. 2:23-27, Gal. 6:13.

You may be asking why would I use the verses of  Matthew 5:18-20.  Well what of the
commandment not to lie?  If we only tell part of the truth, the reverse would be true, and
that is we told part of a lie, and I would argue that the Father views it as a complete lie,
thus breaking His commandment not to lie.  Can it be argued that omitting part of the truth
is a lie?  The answer is depending on the topic and the intentions of the person omitting
the truth.  If part of the topic does not need to be discussed, I would say by omitting part
of the whole topic would not be a lie, but if the topic is omitted to deceive or to try to fit
in or not to cause an argument, it is a lie and maybe should not have been discussed in the
first place.

–noun

1.   a settlement of differences by mutual concessions; an agreement reached by
adjustment of conflicting or opposing claims, principles, etc., by reciprocal modification
of demands.

Revelation 3:15-16 The Scriptures 1998+  (15)  “I know your works, that you are neither
cold nor hot. I would that you were cold or hot.  (
16)  “So, because you are lukewarm,
and neither cold nor hot, I am going to vomit you out of My mouth.

Here is another example of what He expects from us.  Cold or Hot, Black or White, Yes
or No, its all the same to Him in matters of right and wrong.  Do we really want Him to
vomit us out of His mouth?  We need to understand that any compromise of right and
wrong in His eyes comes from the devil, so let us not do the devils bidding, but rather do
what is right.  Lets tell the truth no matter how painful we might think it is.  Let us let the
Father worry about the consequences if we do as He has commanded us to do.  After all,
which is more important, the approval of the people in our lives, or the Father in
Heaven?  I hope you can guess which one is right...
