Ellen DeGeneres
How would the Man of Truth (Yah'shua aka Yeshua aka Jesus aka Mashiach aka Messiah aka Christ) treat Ellen Degeneres?
Ellen DeGeneres is a very talented comedienne, actress, and talk show host. She is also the voice actress that brought "Dory" to life in "Finding Nemo". She has been noted for being one of the most generous of all celebrities both with her money and her time. Unfortunately these fine qualities are not what many people know her for.
Ellen DeGeneres has been in the news a lot lately. Every time I go to the store there is some tabloid going on about whether or not Portia de Rossi is going to divorce Ellen. Similar stories keep showing as trending in social media and some times showing up in seemingly unrelated searches on the internet.
Ellen has tried to deflect attention from this by texting that she had a big surprise for the University of Illinois. This is somewhat effective because she has a long track record as being one of the most generous donors to charities of all celebrities. The anticipation of this surprise has even had some people referring to the state as "Ellenois".
None of this is new for Ellen DeGeneres. She has had more than her share of controversy.
Ellen created a rage when she told America that she was a lesbian. It brought about the swift end of her successful television show. After that her and Portia de Rossi were married under the laws of the state of California. Just the appearance of Ellen in a 30 second Christmas display lead a group called One Million Moms to call for boycotts of JC Penney's in 2012.
The choices that Ellen has made concerning lesbianism and other matters has put her at odds with conservatives in general. In fact, many conservatives refer to Ellen DeGeneres as "Ellen Degenerate".
This got me thinking about what the Man of Truth would say to Ellen DeGeneres, if they were to meet, or he was asked to be a guest on her talk show. Would he call her names like "Ellen Degenerate"? Would he treat her lesbian lifestyle as irrelevant? Would he tell her that His Father made her to be like that? How would the Man of Truth treat Ellen Degeneres?
Although we cannot know the exact conversation that they would have we do not have to speculate about how the Man of Truth would treat her. We can look at the Book of Truth (The Bible) and see how he treated people like Ellen.
What if Ellen asked the Man of Truth to appear on her show or meet her for dinner?
He would do so because he came to call sinners to repentance (Matthew 9:10-13). He would agree to do so because he is known as a friend to sinners (Matthew 11:19). He would meet with her if she was interested in hearing what he had to say (Luke 15:1-2). He would not insult her by calling her some demeaning name but would instead show her respect by calling her by her name, Ellen, just as he called Zacchaeus by his name (Luke 19:5). He would go into her house even though he would be criticized by people who vainly imagine themselves better than Ellen just like he did with Zacchaeus (Luke 19:6-7). He would do so because Ellen is no worse than anyone else since all people have sinned (Romans 5:12).
What if Ellen asked the Man of Truth about how she was made?
He would tell her the truth. He would tell her that she was made in the image of His Father (Genesis 1:26-27). He would tell her that the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) made her on purpose in the womb of her mother (Psalm 139:13-16). He would tell her that she was made to live a life that reflected the character of His Father (1 Peter 1:14-16).
What if Ellen asked the Man of Truth why she was made as a woman?
He would tell her the truth. He would tell her that she was made to marry a man, have children and create a family (1 Timothy 5:14).
What if Ellen asked the Man of Truth about marriage?
He would tell her the truth. He would tell her that His Father made men and women different so that the Earth could be populated by joining their bodies together (Genesis 1:27-28). He would tell her that women were made to help men accomplish this very purpose (Genesis 2:18-22). He would tell her that women were made to marry men so that there is no need for shame between a man and his wife (Genesis 2:23-25).
What if Ellen asked the Man of Truth if being a lesbian is acceptable?
He would tell her the truth. He would tell her that it was never acceptable for people of the same sex to join their bodies together (Leviticus 18:22). He would tell her that it is still not acceptable (Matthew 5:17-19). He would tell her the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) was made to deal with those that defile themselves in such a manner (1 Timothy 1:8-11).
What if Ellen asked the Man of Truth if homosexuality is a choice?
He would tell her the truth. He would tell her that she has a choice because he can set her free from homosexuality (John 8:34-36). He would tell her that the only reason that people ever seek to join their bodies to someone of the same sex is because they have rejected knowing His Father (Romans 1:24-26).
What if Ellen asked the Man of Truth how she could stop being a lesbian?
He would tell her the truth. He would tell her that she could remain free by deciding to live in His Word (John 8:31-32). He would tell her that he can only help her do this if she lets him live in her (John 15:4-6). He would tell her that if he lives in her then His Father will take away those desires if she asks Him to do so (John 15:7-8). He would tell her that she would want His Father to do this because she would want to do what was pleasing to him (John 15:9-11). He would tell her that she would become addicted to doing what was right instead of homosexuality (Romans 6:17-19). He would tell her that he would give her the strength to overcome every temptation (Philippians 4:13).
What if Ellen asked the Man of Truth if he came to condemned her?
He would tell her the truth. He would tell her that His Father did not send him into the world to bring condemnation but freedom (John 3:17-19). He would tell her that anyone that will surrender to him will escape condemnation (John 5:24). He would tell her that there is no condemnation for those learn to live by the leading of the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) so that they do what the Law of Truth says is right (Romans 8:1-4). He would tell her that His Father has been sending messengers to her so that she could be reconciled to Him (2 Corinthians 5:18-20).
What if Ellen asked the Man of Truth what will happen if she continued to be a lesbian?
He would tell her the truth. He would tell her that those who do such things deserve to be put to death (Leviticus 20:13). He would tell her that when people engage in this kind of behavior that they are abusing themselves and that they will not enter the kingdom of His Father (1 Corinthians 6:9). He would tell her that she will end up being tormented forever in the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:12-15).
What if Ellen asked the Man of Truth how could the Law of Truth be fulfilled without her being put to death for her lesbianism as it demands?
He would tell her the truth. He would tell her about the woman caught in adultery who the Law of Truth also demanded death for her sin (John 8:3-5). He would tell her that he stepped between the woman caught in adultery and the righteous demands of the Law of Truth like he would do for her (John 8:6-8). He would tell her that he would bring an end to the condemnation that she deserved just as he had done for the woman caught in adultery (John 8:9-11). He would tell her that those righteous demands of the Law of Truth were met when he died in her place on the cross (Colossians 2:13-15).
What if Ellen asked the Man of Truth why did he do that for her?
He would tell her the truth. He would tell her that His Father so loved Ellen that he sent him to die in her place by being lifted on a cross so that she might have eternal life (John 3:14-16). He would tell His Father did this to show his love for Ellen while she was still in rebellion against him (Romans 5:6-9). He would tell her that His Father did this because He wanted Ellen to become part of His family (Romans 8:29).
What if Ellen asked the Man of Truth what she has to do to become part of His family?
He would tell her the truth. He would tell her that like Zacchaeus she has to show true repentance by changing her actions (Luke 19:8-10). He would tell her that like the woman caught in adultery she must go and sin no more (John 8:11). He would tell her that doing what he commands is the proof that she loves him (John 14:23-24). He would tell her that there is no salvation without repentance (Acts 5:30-32). He would tell her that she must choose to obey him because she believes that His Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9). He would tell her that repentance and faith in His Father is the foundation of salvation (Hebrews 6:1).
What if Ellen asked the Man of Truth what would happen if she put him in charge of her life?
He would tell her the truth. He would tell her that His Father would circumcise her heart so that she can obey Him from her heart (Deuteronomy 30:6). He would tell her that the Spirit of Truth would give her the ability to do everything that the Law of Truth said was right (Romans 8:3-5). He would tell her that old things would pass away and that all things would be made new making her into a new person (2 Corinthians 5:17). He would tell her that her sins would be forgiven (Colossians 1:13-15). He would tell her that because her heart has been circumcised that she would be separated from the desire for lesbianism and every other sin (Colossians 2:10-11). He would tell her that she would be able to obey the Law of Truth because it would be written on her heart (Hebrews 8:10). He would tell her that every talent that makes Ellen DeGeneres unique would still be there because His Father gave her those talents (James 1:17). He would tell her that with the ugliness of sin removed from her life there would only remain the beauty of holiness that His Father always intended for her (1 Peter 1:14-16). He would tell her that His Father would even call her by a new name - perhaps even Ellen The Generous (Revelation 2:17).
How would the Man of Truth treat Ellen Degeneres?
He would treat her with respect but still tell her the truth in love.
If you call yourself a Child of Truth (someone that obeys the Father of Truth because they love Him) would you treat people like Ellen DeGeneres in the same manner as the Man of Truth?
If you do not let people like Ellen know that what they are doing is wrong then you actually hate them (Leviticus 19:17). If you do not warn people like Ellen when they are doing what The Father of Truth says is wrong then He will treat you as if you had murdered them (Ezekiel 3:18). If you hate people like Ellen so that they perish in their sin without warning them then you are a murderer and do not have eternal life (1 John 3:15). If you show hate to people like Ellen by not warning them then you do not love the Father of Truth (1 John 4:20-21). If you do not warn people like Ellen so that they might be saved from the Lake of Fire then you will end up there with all other murderers (Revelation 21:8).
If you love people like Ellen then you will tell them what they are doing is wrong instead of pretending to love them by saying nothing (Proverbs 27:5). If you warn people like Ellen and they do not listen then they alone are responsible for the consequences (Ezekiel 3:19). If you love people like Ellen then you will not treat them with disrespect or look down on them as if you had never sinned (1 Corinthians 13:4-7). If the Spirit of Truth lives in you then you will be able to treat people like Ellen with love (Galatians 5:22-23). If you love people like Ellen then you will tell them the truth in love (Ephesians 4:14-16). If you love people like Ellen then you will warn them of the consequences of their sin (Revelation 3:19).
Perhaps you have never came into the House of Truth because people that call themselves Children of Truth have not treated you with respect while telling you the truth in love. Now that have been told the truth in love you need to come into the House of Truth. Anyone that will come into the House of Truth will pass from death to life (John 5:24). Anyone that will listen to the Word of Truth can come into the House of Truth by putting the Man of Truth in charge of their life because they believe that His Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:8-10). Anyone that comes into the House of Truth will be made clean no matter what they have done (1 John 1:9).
Come into the House of Truth.

Come into the House of Truth.
