Does It Matter To God?
2
The Question Is NOT

• Does It Matter To Me?
• What Do Others Think?
• Are These People Sincere?
• Whats the General Consensus?
• What Do the Theologians Believe?

BUT
Does It Matter To God?
3
Man Cannot Answer Without Gods Help!

• These things we also speak, not in words which
  man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit
  teaches, comparing spiritual things with
  spiritual. (1 Corinthians 213)
• how that by revelation He made known to me the
  mystery (as I have briefly written already, by
  which, when you read, you may understand my
  knowledge in the mystery of Christ), (Eph. 33-4)
• There is a way that seems right to a man, But its
  end is the way of death. (Proverbs 1412)
• O LORD, I know the way of man is not in himself
  It is not in man who walks to direct his own
  steps. (Jeremiah 1023)

Cain and Abel

• They both worshipped God (Gen. 43-7)
• God accepted Abels sacrifice of his flock
• Rejected Cains offering of fruit of the ground
• Abels offering made by faith (Heb. 114 Rom.
  1017)
• Cains rejected because his works were evil (1
  Jn. 312)

Not as Cain who was of the wicked one and
murdered his brother. And why did he murder him?
Because his works were evil and his brother's
righteous.

God and Idolatry
I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of
the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall
not make for yourself a carved image, or any
likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or
that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the
water under the earth you shall not bow down to
them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am
a jealous God (Ex. 202-6)
There Was No Right Way One Could Worship An Idol!

Other Examples

• Elijah versus prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel
  (1 Kgs. 181-40).
• Nadab and Abihu (Lev. 101-4).
• Naaman the Leper (2 Kgs. 51-14).
• Could Naaman be sincere in dip in any other
  river and be cleansed?
• Could he be sincere and dip less than 7 times
  and still be healed?
• Naaman had the choiceobey or disobey.

Salvation is In Christ! Therefore I endure all
things for the sake of the elect, that they also
may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus
with eternal glory. (2 Timothy 210) In No Other
Name! "Nor is there salvation in any other, for
there is no other name under heaven given among
men by which we must be saved." (Acts
412) Christ is the Only Way! Jesus said to him,
"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one
comes to the Father except through Me. (John 146)

Not All Christian Religions Are Right!

• Must wear the name of Christ.
• Must teach the plan of salvation Christ taught.
• Must worship according to Christs Will.
• Must do only work authorized by Christ.

And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in
the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God
the Father through Him. (Colossians
317) Whoever transgresses and does not abide in
the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who
abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the
Father and the Son. (2 John 19)
