WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE? 1

Psalms 2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

 

I could not find a suitable definition of heathen from the online dictionaries that fit what I believe to be the biblical definition of heathen. In the old testament everyone but the Jewish people were considered heathen.  In the new testament Christians were not considered heathens and as far as I can tell the Jews were still not considered heathens.  As far as I can tell this would leave everyone except Christians and Jews to be considered heathen according to the Bible.

 

I am sure the above paragraph would anger a lot of people if they were to read it.  As a matter of fact I am sure that it would enrage many.  Why do the Heathen rage?  They rage because they are not willing to accept that without a relationship with Jesus Christ they are not acceptable to God.

 

If a person rejects God's Son, then they will be rejected by Him.  Many are angered and accuse Christians of being narrow minded because we believe the only pathway to God is through His Son Jesus.  It seems to me that they are the ones who are closed minded.  God offers salvation to all who will accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior.  If they refuse, the decision is theirs.
