Recently while post… on another ‘worldwide’ public friendship site; I was called on the spot with this verse below from the Gospel of John. Strange as it was, I simply commented on the verse posted onto this ‘Public Forum’ the previous day. Some there on that Site are Christian and some are Pseudo Christians, in a purely generic sense. Many do not even claim to be Christian.
· (John 7:24) Do not judge = according to sight, = but judge righteous judgment.
Strange as it seems… Some wrongly believe that… ‘Any’ Bible verse posted is OK… because it is the Word of God. How about IF… the Bible verse was written to ‘The Child of God’ and was “Conditional” on certain all its requirements? “Should I post that verse, or not?” I believe, Not! “Family Business is for Family” and Not for… Strangers! Was I wrong?
May I share… how this works? When one is called into question by another; they will either ask for ‘an explanation’, = or = will usually post some ‘Not Judging Verses’… and call into question, ‘your motives’. For you… Even to ‘Question’ them: as to the Reason for ‘their posting’ of that particular verse is harshly treated as… “Heresy”.
Their attitude is… “How Dare you… question me… about posting a Bible Verse!” The Bible is Not Magic! It is Not A Charm to ward off Evil! It is God’s communication to Mankind on how to honor Him, love him and how to live life… as God intended! The ‘Reason’ of the Word of God!
· (Isaiah 1:18) Come now, = and let us = reason together, = says Jehovah; though your sins are as scarlet, = they shall be as white as snow; = though they are red like crimson, = they shall be like wool.
The World uses… almost the Same Tactic: in an ‘Identical’ fashion. I disagree with most of the ‘Political Correct’ preaching measures used in today’s Media. When I post something in Opposition, I am always labeled… “A Racist!” Without any “intelligent or cognitive” response… from the author… I was simply labeled … “A Racist!”
This has happened… often times, as I posted Obama’s speeches from YouTube. Without knowing my… “Race” [Black or White]… I was called a ‘Racist’. Often times I responded with… Obama is… ‘Half white and Half black’. Which Half… of a Racist am I… “white or black”?
· (1Corinthians 2:15) But he = who is spiritual = judges all things, = yet he himself = is judged by no one.
Often times… “The ‘FLASE’ Judging Accusation”… is used without any Asking for… “More = Information or Clarification”. Most want their ‘Beliefs…’ without anyone even questioning them. You know, it is ‘Just Like’… “Santa Clause or the Easter Bunny!” Don’t you even dare… ask me about them… Or I will… “NOT”… consider you… A Friend! …LOL! …LOL!
“I will pray for you”… is a term that is spoken in most Churches. Even though MOST have no relationship with God, through the “Finished Work of Christ Jesus”! IF… they are NOT a child of God… THEN… How does GOD… Hear their Prayers? “God, the God of the Bible… Says… that HE… Does NOT!”
· (1John 5:12-13-14) He who has the Son = has life; = = he = who does not = have the Son of God = = does not have life.
· (1John 5:13) I have written = these things = to you = who believe on = the name of the Son of God, = that you may know = that you have everlasting life, = and that you = may believe = on the name of the Son of God.
· (1John 5:14) And = this is the confidence = that we have toward = Him, = = that if = we ask anything = according to = His will, = = He hears us.
How about that…? IF… you do not have the Son of God, Christ Jesus… THEN… you do not belong to Him. And God… will NOT… Hear your Prayers! Many people say empty words called prayers and they are Not Heard by God. Without Son-ship… One cannot be in any position for God to… Hear them!
· (1Timothy 2:5) For God is one, = and there is = one Mediator = of God and of men, = = the Man Christ Jesus,
Without an intercessor… That is a Go Between… God and Mankind… you have Absolutely NO Authority to Pray. Only if you are… In Christ Jesus… then has Jesus made your ability to go directly to the Father God… “Open!” That Mediator / Intercessor is Only Christ Jesus!
· (John 14:20) At that day = you shall know = that I am in My Father, = and you in Me, = and I in you. [Romans 8:9]
Before I became… A Born Again Christian, I was raised in a Catholic Home and attended Catholic Church on Sundays and Catholic Elementary School though grade 6. We said “prayers” and did all sorts of “Religious Activities”. None of them… or the Lack of them… had any favor with God, the God of the Bible. “Father God”… knows Only… His Children and… Not those of the Devil! Say, did you… not know that the ‘Devil has Children?’
· (John 8:44) You are = of the Devil = as father, = and the lusts of = your father = you will do. = He was a murderer from the beginning, = and = did not abide in the Truth = = because there is no Truth in him. = When he speaks a lie, = he speaks of his own, = for he is a liar = and the father of it.
How about Judging… “Truth & Lies?” IF someone tells you a “Lie”… “You Judge”… that it is… a Lie, or you believe it as Truth. Surely that is an… “Acceptable Judging”… as most will agree. How about you, will you agree with that statement? Did you ever have someone… “Lie to You?’ What did you do when you found Out? Or did you just let it Go?
· (John 17:17) Sanctify them = through Your Truth. = Your Word is Truth.
How do we know… ‘What is Truth’ and ‘What are Lies?’ Simply put…. “God’s Word is Truth”. It is what we are to use to… “JUDGE”… all things by. IF… God says it is wrong… THEN… it is wrong! Pointing out, the Wrong… “Is NOT Judging!” Is there an example in the Bible of a Believer pointing out to a Non-Believer… that Something is Wrong [Sin]… “According to God’s Word?”
· (Matthew 14:3) For Herod = had laid hold on John, = and had bound him, = and had put him in prison = because of Herodias his brother Philip's wife.
· (Matt 14:4) For John said to him, = It is not lawful for you = to have her.
Simply Put… John the Baptist told the Governor Herod that he was living in Adultery by having his brother Philips wife, for himself. Was John “Judging” Herod? Absolutely, “Yes and No!” What you say, you cannot have it… Both Ways! John lost his life… because he choose to Stand for what God… had said in His Word.
· (Exodus 20:14) You shall not commit adultery [Sexual Sins].
John had judged… the “Right & Wrong” of Herod’s acts of Adultery. There is nothing wrong with saying… “It is Wrong, because God said So!” So Yes… John judged the actions and lifestyle of Herod. But NO… because God will Completely Judge… All Mankind for “Sin/Sins” or for “Salvation”. The for Degrees of Punishment in the Eternal Lake of Fire for Sin and the Rejection of Christ Jesus’ finished work. For Rewards [works] for the Child of God in heaven. Those works for rewards will be… Tried by the Word of God and Fire. [1Corinthians 3:13-14-15]
· (Luke 4:4) And Jesus = answered him [Satan] , = saying, = It is written = that "man = shall not live by = bread alone, = = but by every Word of God."
When One comes… to God… then One accepts… “His Word for their Life”. The Word of God is what Jesus said… that which Man Lives By! That Child of God… Will ‘Always’ accept the Word of God, as their Only Point of Reference… to what is Truth and what are Lies. Judging ‘Acts & Words’… by the Word of God… Is Not Judging! “The Word of God… Judges All!”
· (John 12:47-48-49) And if any one hears = My Words = and does not believe, = I do not judge him, = for I do not come to judge the world, = but to save the world.
· (John 12:48) He = who rejects Me = and = does not receive = My Words = has one = who judges him; = = the Word = = that I have spoken, = the same shall judge him = in the last day.
· (John 12:49) For I = have not = spoken of Myself, = but = the Father = Who sent Me = gave Me a command, = = what I should say, = and = what I should speak.
How about “Judging”…? Do you know understand that… IF… God says it is Wrong [Sin/Sins] it is So! Saying what God says is Wrong… “Is Not Judging!” Remember… those that ‘do not want’ to Hear the Word of God… and what it… “Says & Means”… will Often Falsely Accuse You of Judging! Simply put, ‘An Excuse’… is a “Skin of a Reason… Stuffed… with A Lie!”
· (1Corinthians 2:15) But he = who is spiritual = judges all things, = yet he himself = is judged by no one.
Will YOU Judge… whatever is called Christian? Whatever is called ‘God’ and ‘Truth’? Whatever is ‘Phony’ and ‘Lies’? How about it? Or will you just continue to belong to the… “First Church of the Rodney King?” [Can’t we all… just Get Along?] NO!
· (Isaiah 8:20) To the law = and to the testimony: = if they speak not = according to = this Word, = it is because = there is no light = in them.

“Witnessing = To the Religious – 101”…Blog.
Today I received… an email from a friend who has been witnessing to a ‘religious’ person. They are always the hardest to witness to. Simply put, they want a validation of their… ‘Beliefs!’ If they can… “Out think & Out argue You”… they have… “Validated their Beliefs”. It is… just that simple. I often speak with Cults, Pseudo Christian Sects and even those of Islam. That… ‘identical’ problem exists there also!
Their religious validation… is the basis for their belief in their Religion. Most times when confronted with… “The Holy Scriptures = The Bible”… their Religious beliefs fall apart. The often resort to either Bible Verses that have a hard explanation or directly to their denomination and its teachings.
· (John 12:43) For they loved = the praise of men = more than = the praise of God.
They will often… quote the Founder of their religion, as having more or identical authority… to the Bible. Even though that source is in conflict with the Bible, they still hold to it. When Jesus confronted the Devil in… “Matthew 4:4 & Luke 4:4” … He, Jesus, simply said, “It is Written!” That is… Jesus said… “The Scriptures have Already Spoken about That!” [i.e.] …“It is Written!”
· (Hebrews 3:14-to-19) For we are made = partakers of Christ, = if we hold the beginning of our confidence = steadfast to the end,
· (Heb 3:15) while it is said, = "Today = if you will hear His voice, = harden not your hearts, = as in the provocation."
· (Heb 3:16) For some, = when they had heard, = did provoke; = however, = not all who came out of Egypt by Moses.
· (Heb 3:17) But with whom = was He [God] grieved forty years? = Was it not with those who had sinned, = whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
· (Heb 3:18) And to whom = did He [God] swear = that they should not = enter into His rest, = but to those who did not believe?
· (Heb 3:19) So we see = that they could not enter in = because of unbelief.
By rejecting the… Word of God, they have… ‘Hardened their heart’… exactly as the Jews did in the above verses. This is the story of the Exodus. After the “10-miraculous Plagues” on Egypt and their False Gods, Moses led the… ‘Children of Israel’… into the wilderness.
Over and Over… again did they “Rebel” against Moses and what God have given them. Their… “Disobedience & Hardness of Heart”… caused them to… All ‘Perish’ in the Wilderness, during their 40-yeart trek. Only… “Joshua & Caleb”… were permitted to enter the Promised Land! Even Moses… disobeyed God and Struck the Rock… [Numbers 20:12]… and was not permitted to enter into… the Promised Land!
If you will… study Exodus, you will see that God dealt with them, His Chosen People… “10-Times”. Their disobedience to… Enter In… after the “12-spies” had returned and reported… caused God’s Judgment to come upon them. All died in the Wilderness of Wandering for 40-years, again except Joshua & Caleb who gave a good report. “10-Bad reports= 2-Good ones!”
These religious people… will have an answer ‘to protect’ their belief. Yet, when confronted with… “It is Written”… they will almost always bring up some… ‘Hard to Understand’… verses. They will again harden their heart… against The Scripture Verses… you share with them.
Once again… without referencing… “The Hebrew OT or the Greek NT”… they will use their particular… English Translation… to validate their ‘Wrong Point’. In reality, they… do not want… the “Truth of the Scriptures”. They only want… their ‘Belief’. What happens to people like this?
· (2Timothy 3:7) Ever learning = and never able = to come to = the full knowledge of = The Truth. [John 17:17]
Often times… their ‘Church Doctrine and Church Teaching’, will take “Total Precedence” in their Discussions with you. They will often… ‘Cut and Paste’… their teachings into their response. Like the ‘Christian Science People’… “Who are neither Christian nor Science”…they have their… own dictionary of terms to explain away The Scriptures.
Another trick… they will often use, is to say, “I cannot believe what I do not Understand!” I simply respond, So tell me, you understand Computer Chip Architecture and Electronic Circuits? They respond with, No! Well, you… “Believe”… your Computer will take you to the Internet and you can use photographic software or word processing, don’t you? Then Silence!
They soon realize… that their ‘trick’ will not work. You can substitute any of the modern technologies we use. The Automatic Transmission, the Cell Phone and even the Microwave Oven! They will then try and sidestep… The Complete Authority of The Scriptures, The Bible!
Once Again… They… ‘Only’ want to validate their “Religious Belief”… “Nothing More, Nothing Less!” Some verses that I have often seen used are these. I list them in a group of… ‘hard to understand’. Really, with prayer and the Wisdom of God… [James 1:5-to-8]… God will reveal His Word and His Understanding to you… [Deuteronomy 29:29].
· (Hebrews 6:4-5-6) For it is impossible = for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
· (Heb 6:5) and have tasted the good Word of God and the powers of the world to come,
· (Heb 6:6) and who have fallen away; it is impossible, I say, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify the Son of God afresh to themselves and put Him to an open shame.
Recently, I had… a preacher tell me that the Christian could lose his Salvation. It told him, he was mistaken. He immediately pulled out the above verses. I simply told him, “Your understanding of these verses is flawed.” What is Impossible? “To renew them again to repentance! IF they cannot do it themselves… who then can? The text says they Cannot?
· (2Timothy 2:25-26) in meekness = instructing those who oppose, = if perhaps = = God will give them repentance = = to the acknowledging = of The Truth,
· (2Tim 2:26) and that they awake = out of the snare = of the Devil, = having been = taken captive = by him, = so as to do = the will of that one.
Most when confronted… with The Scriptures again will make ‘excuses’ to… “Validate their Religious Beliefs!” You know, their claim of being a Christian may have been going on for many years. And now to say they were… mistaken… is too much for their… Ego… To Take!
One Key… I often tell myself, “You must Unlearn to Learn!” This has proven true over the years and as I have matured in my Faith. So long as we will learn… Our Lord… will teach Us! It is when we have that… “Hardened Heart & Grieve the Holy Spirit… [Ephesians 4:30]… that we are Unable to Learn… Of God and His Word!
Salvation is a… as permanent as the Holy Spirit. Salvation… [Romans 8:9 & Ephesians 1:7-to-14]… is the Holy Spirit, Nothing More, Nothing Less! Simply put… “Who do you Believe, God or your Church?”
· (Numbers 23:19) God = is not a man = that He should lie, = neither the son of man = that He should repent. = Has He said, = and shall He not do it? = Or has He spoken, = and shall He = not make it good?
Their Agenda… of their own… ‘personal belief and religion’… is their “Driving Factor”. They will… Not Hear = God’s Word… because of their… “Hardened Heart!” Their rejection of the Scripture Verses YOU… Share with them… will often fall on… ‘Deaf Ears’. Hardened Hearts… cause endless arguments and… The rejection of the… Word of God! … “It Is Written…!”

“Salvation – 101”…Blog. …‘Temporary or Permanent?
“Once Saved- Always Saved”… is a Church Doctrine, but is it a doctrine... of the Word of God? This OS-AS has come out of the Baptist Persuasion and Teaching. Many other churches have a different opinion teaching that One… can lose their Salvation. Which do you Believe?
The Word of God… is the “ONLY Truth” for a Believer and… that the Truth of the Word is Without Error!” The test to see if you are ‘Born Again’ by the Spirit of God is the Word of God. If you are Born Again, then the Holy Spirit will validate this… Truth!
(1Corinthians 2:14) But the = natural man = does not = receive the things of the Spirit of God, = for they are = foolishness = to him; = neither can he = know them, = because they are spiritually discerned.
How can that be? You see, ‘Not All’ those that… ‘Say they are Saved – Are Really Saved! [i.e. Born Again] Perhaps, this is where we must agree that the Word of God, “The BIBLE” is the ‘Only Truth’ for those that “Call the Name of Christ?” ‘IF’… you cannot or will not agree with this statement, ‘THEN’… there is no further need for this discussion.
(Luke 4:4) And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word of God.
(Matthew 4:4) But He [Jesus] answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Perhaps we must… begin where the Scripture Begins, and… Leave OFF the Church Doctrine? The KEY? – “The Scriptures!” What do we say… We Believe?” Is ‘IT” the Truth of the Word – OR – Church Doctrine?
The Words... of Jesus should show us something about “Belief?” How many did JESUS say really… “DIDN’T”…belonged to Him? “Few = Some = or = Many? Read ‘the answer’… below!
(Matthew 7:21-22-23) Not everyone = who says to Me [Jesus], Lord! Lord! = Shall enter the kingdom of Heaven, = but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven.
(Matt 7:22) = = Many = = will say to Me in that day, = Lord! Lord! = Did we not prophesy in Your name, = and through Your name throw out demons, = and through Your name = = do many wonderful works?
(Matt 7:23) And then I will say to them = I never knew you! = Depart from Me, = those working lawlessness!
There were many… ‘Religious – Who Claimed they Knew JESUS?” and yet were rejected by… HIM? Perhaps you could examine… “Matthew 13” – the four kinds of soil and the “Wheat and the Tares?” Perhaps you ‘Should’ also examine… “2Corinthinas 11:13-15?” Many claim Jesus, but He says… I Never Knew YOU!
(James 2:19) You believe = that there is = one God, = you do well; = even the demons = believe = and tremble.
This comes about… because ‘Many are Duped’ into “Thinking they are Saved!” How can that BE? Did you read the above Verses? Did you open your Bible and really read them? Did you understand what the Spirit of God was saying through the Word of God? If not, then re-read those Bible Verses till… you do.
The ‘group emotion’… may be and is often generated in ‘Any Church Service’. Many are filled with emotion and take a walk down a ‘church aisle’, say a prayer and believe they are Born Again. They endure for a while… but are like the Soils in… Matthew 13.
This comes about… because many are… ‘Trusting Our Feelings’… and… “Not in what the Word of God SAYS?” The Real KEY – Is Belief! Belief in Whom? Belief in What? Belief that… ‘Brings Life Eternal!”
(Romans 8:16) The Spirit Himself = bears witness with our spirit = that we are = the children of God.
(2Corinthians 13:5) Examine yourselves, = whether you are in the faith, = prove your own selves. = Do you not know your own selves, = that Jesus Christ is in you, = unless you are reprobates?
Did Jesus promise… that the real belief in… His Finished Work of Salvation... would cause you to be “Born Again”? Yes He did! Again we will focus on The Scriptures and Not on any particular church… teaching or doctrine.
(John 7:37-38-39) On the last and most important day of the festival, = Jesus stood up and shouted, = "If anyone is thirsty, = let him come to me and drink!
(John 7:38) The one = who believes in me, = as the Scripture has said, = will have rivers of living water = flowing from his heart."
(John 7:39) Now he said this = about the Spirit, = whom those who were believing in him = were to receive. = For the Spirit = was not yet present, = because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
Salvation is by… Grace Alone! No works can ever earn salvation. Perhaps you need to read these verses for yourself. “Ephesians 2:8-9-10 = Titus 3:5 = Romans 11:6” = and many other verses. Again we will focus on The Scriptures… and ‘Not’ on any particular church… teaching or doctrine. Salvation is… The Holy Spirit!
(Romans 8:9) But you are not in the flesh, = but in the Spirit, = if the Spirit of God = dwells in you. = But = if anyone = has not = the Spirit of Christ, = he is none of His.
Are there other… verses that speak about believing… unto Salvation? Yes there are many, but so ‘few’ have… ‘read and studied’… The Bible. Most only go on… ‘here-say’ or what they have been told by others. Again we will focus on The Scriptures and ‘Not’ on any particular church… teaching or doctrine.
(Romans 10:8-to-13) But what does it say? "The Word is near you, even in your mouth and in your heart"; that is, the Word of Faith which we proclaim;
(Rom 10:9) Because if you confess the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.
(Rom 10:10) For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses unto salvation.
(Rom 10:11) For the Scripture says, "Everyone believing on Him shall not be put to shame."
(Rom 10:12) For there is no difference both of Jew and of Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call on Him.
(Rom 10:13) For everyone, "whoever shall call on the name of the Lord will be saved."
Is this plan... of Salvation… ‘Temporary… or is it Permanent?’ “IF” you can lose your Salvation, “THEN”… it is only temporary! How then would you know… if you had it… or when you lost it? What kind of Salvation did Jesus die for? Temporary or Eternal?
(Hebrews 5:8-9) Son though He was, = He learned obedience through His sufferings
(Heb 5:9) And, once made perfect, = He became the source of = eternal salvation = for all who obey him,
How about if… we look at some other verses dealing with Salvation? They are there, in the Scriptures. You need to ‘Read & Study’ the Word of God, for yourself. Don’t take what someone says, find out for yourself. Remember the Bible does NOT produce… ‘Instant Spirituality’ and ‘Godly Wisdom’. It only comes from a lifetime of… obedience to God and to His Word.
(1Corinthians 12:13) For also by = one Spirit = we are all baptized into one body, = whether Jews or Greeks, = whether bond or free, = even all were made to drink into = one Spirit.
Water baptism does… Not bring Salvation. It is that baptism by the Holy Spirit of God, that makes that person a ‘Son or Daughter’ of God. The Holy Spirit is Salvation!
(Ephesians 1:12-13-14) For us to be to the praise of His glory, = who previously had = trusted in Christ;
(Eph 1:13) In whom also you, = hearing the Word of Truth, = the gospel of our salvation, = in Whom also believing, = you were sealed with = the Holy Spirit of promise,
(Eph 1:14) Who is = the earnest = of our inheritance, = to the redemption of the purchased possession, = to the praise of His glory.
Woven throughout… the Scriptures are these verses, teaching us that it is the Spirit of God… that is our… Salvation. The Holy Spirit… is Salvation. We are Sealed for Eternity!
(2Corinthians 1:20-21-22) For all the promises of God = in Him are yes, = and in Him = Amen, to the glory of God by us.
(2Cor 1:21) But He = confirming us = and anointing us = with you in Christ = is God.
(2Cor 1:22) And He has = sealed us = and having given = the earnest of the Spirit = in our hearts.
(Ephesians 4:30) And do not grieve = the Holy Spirit of God, = by whom = you are = sealed = until the day of redemption.

The Word of God… is the “ONLY Truth” for a Believer and… that the Truth of the Word is Without Error!” The test to see if you are ‘Born Again’ by the Spirit of God is the Word of God. If you are Born Again, then the Holy Spirit will validate this… Truth!
(1Corinthians 2:14) But the = natural man = does not = receive the things of the Spirit of God, = for they are = foolishness = to him; = neither can he = know them, = because they are spiritually discerned.
How can that be? You see, ‘Not All’ those that… ‘Say they are Saved – Are Really Saved! [i.e. Born Again] Perhaps, this is where we must agree that the Word of God, “The BIBLE” is the ‘Only Truth’ for those that “Call the Name of Christ?” ‘IF’… you cannot or will not agree with this statement, ‘THEN’… there is no further need for this discussion.
(Luke 4:4) And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word of God.
(Matthew 4:4) But He [Jesus] answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Perhaps we must… begin where the Scripture Begins, and… Leave OFF the Church Doctrine? The KEY? – “The Scriptures!” What do we say… We Believe?” Is ‘IT” the Truth of the Word – OR – Church Doctrine?
The Words... of Jesus should show us something about “Belief?” How many did JESUS say really… “DIDN’T”…belonged to Him? “Few = Some = or = Many? Read ‘the answer’… below!
(Matthew 7:21-22-23) Not everyone = who says to Me [Jesus], Lord! Lord! = Shall enter the kingdom of Heaven, = but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven.
(Matt 7:22) = = Many = = will say to Me in that day, = Lord! Lord! = Did we not prophesy in Your name, = and through Your name throw out demons, = and through Your name = = do many wonderful works?
(Matt 7:23) And then I will say to them = I never knew you! = Depart from Me, = those working lawlessness!
There were many… ‘Religious – Who Claimed they Knew JESUS?” and yet were rejected by… HIM? Perhaps you could examine… “Matthew 13” – the four kinds of soil and the “Wheat and the Tares?” Perhaps you ‘Should’ also examine… “2Corinthinas 11:13-15?” Many claim Jesus, but He says… I Never Knew YOU!
(James 2:19) You believe = that there is = one God, = you do well; = even the demons = believe = and tremble.
This comes about… because ‘Many are Duped’ into “Thinking they are Saved!” How can that BE? Did you read the above Verses? Did you open your Bible and really read them? Did you understand what the Spirit of God was saying through the Word of God? If not, then re-read those Bible Verses till… you do.
The ‘group emotion’… may be and is often generated in ‘Any Church Service’. Many are filled with emotion and take a walk down a ‘church aisle’, say a prayer and believe they are Born Again. They endure for a while… but are like the Soils in… Matthew 13.
This comes about… because many are… ‘Trusting Our Feelings’… and… “Not in what the Word of God SAYS?” The Real KEY – Is Belief! Belief in Whom? Belief in What? Belief that… ‘Brings Life Eternal!”
(Romans 8:16) The Spirit Himself = bears witness with our spirit = that we are = the children of God.
(2Corinthians 13:5) Examine yourselves, = whether you are in the faith, = prove your own selves. = Do you not know your own selves, = that Jesus Christ is in you, = unless you are reprobates?
Did Jesus promise… that the real belief in… His Finished Work of Salvation... would cause you to be “Born Again”? Yes He did! Again we will focus on The Scriptures and Not on any particular church… teaching or doctrine.
(John 7:37-38-39) On the last and most important day of the festival, = Jesus stood up and shouted, = "If anyone is thirsty, = let him come to me and drink!
(John 7:38) The one = who believes in me, = as the Scripture has said, = will have rivers of living water = flowing from his heart."
(John 7:39) Now he said this = about the Spirit, = whom those who were believing in him = were to receive. = For the Spirit = was not yet present, = because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
Salvation is by… Grace Alone! No works can ever earn salvation. Perhaps you need to read these verses for yourself. “Ephesians 2:8-9-10 = Titus 3:5 = Romans 11:6” = and many other verses. Again we will focus on The Scriptures… and ‘Not’ on any particular church… teaching or doctrine. Salvation is… The Holy Spirit!
(Romans 8:9) But you are not in the flesh, = but in the Spirit, = if the Spirit of God = dwells in you. = But = if anyone = has not = the Spirit of Christ, = he is none of His.
Are there other… verses that speak about believing… unto Salvation? Yes there are many, but so ‘few’ have… ‘read and studied’… The Bible. Most only go on… ‘here-say’ or what they have been told by others. Again we will focus on The Scriptures and ‘Not’ on any particular church… teaching or doctrine.
(Romans 10:8-to-13) But what does it say? "The Word is near you, even in your mouth and in your heart"; that is, the Word of Faith which we proclaim;
(Rom 10:9) Because if you confess the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.
(Rom 10:10) For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses unto salvation.
(Rom 10:11) For the Scripture says, "Everyone believing on Him shall not be put to shame."
(Rom 10:12) For there is no difference both of Jew and of Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call on Him.
(Rom 10:13) For everyone, "whoever shall call on the name of the Lord will be saved."
Is this plan... of Salvation… ‘Temporary… or is it Permanent?’ “IF” you can lose your Salvation, “THEN”… it is only temporary! How then would you know… if you had it… or when you lost it? What kind of Salvation did Jesus die for? Temporary or Eternal?
(Hebrews 5:8-9) Son though He was, = He learned obedience through His sufferings
(Heb 5:9) And, once made perfect, = He became the source of = eternal salvation = for all who obey him,
How about if… we look at some other verses dealing with Salvation? They are there, in the Scriptures. You need to ‘Read & Study’ the Word of God, for yourself. Don’t take what someone says, find out for yourself. Remember the Bible does NOT produce… ‘Instant Spirituality’ and ‘Godly Wisdom’.

Water baptism does… Not bring Salvation. It is that baptism by the Holy Spirit of God, that makes that person a ‘Son or Daughter’ of God. The Holy Spirit is Salvation!
(Ephesians 1:12-13-14) For us to be to the praise of His glory, = who previously had = trusted in Christ;

“Earth Day – 101” …Blog.
Yesterday was once… again a Misnomer, “Earth Day!” Does everyone on this Earth celebrate Earth Day… or Not? “Not” is the correct response! We live on earth, 24-hours a day, 7-days a week, and 365-days a year, except Leap Year, 366-days. So why do we display a ‘Fake Concern’ Only… One day a Year?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Day
All this Phony… concern about the Earth and NONE for the People that live here on Earth! Say it isn’t so? There are many movements… ‘Save the Wales’, ‘Save the Seals’ and the like. But where are the movements to… Save the Humans?
Are all these… movements to get our minds & hearts off the… ‘Real Issues?’ What did you do for Earth Day, yesterday? Anything constructive or Not? Well then, why do you allow those to bludgeon us with their Lies?
Here in America… we have about 310,000,000-million people. But in the World there are… 650,000,000,000-Billion People. America has ONLY… 4.8%... of the Earths Total Population. Does all the people on Earth, expect Americans to Save the Planet? The 4.8%... save The 95.2% of this Earth? Silly isn’t when you see such Information.
Does Global Warming… pose a significant harm to this planet or Not? Sorry NO! One cannot build a True Statement when it is filled… with Lies! Let’s do some Simple Reasoning. Global = means = Worldwide. One must collect data from all locations on the face of this Earth to call it… ‘Global.’
Some Simple Science… will show anyone that the term ‘Global Warming’ is simply an… “Unscientific Political Statement”. That can’t be, you may say! Oh NO? The Earth is covered by almost… 75% Water. Where then are the Temperature Monitoring Stations on All the Seas & Oceans on… Planet Earth? And how many Nations are doing Scientific Temperature Monitoring? Can you answer these Questions?
Why then would… YOU Believe such news reports and a ‘false presentation’ of the supposed truth? How about some Simple Math? Remember Science Class. It takes one-Btu of heat… to increase the temperature of one cubic centimeter… one degree.
Some of our… 'Oceans and Seas'... are almost 6.5 miles deep! How many of… “Gazillions of Cubic Cementers of WATER are contained on ‘Our EARTH’… that is covered 75% with Water? Simply do the Math. Global Warming is Only… A Political Statement! ...Not Science!
Scientists have been… monitoring Polar Temperatures at both the North & South Poles for over… ‘100-years.’ These temperatures have Not Varied… more than “1/2 a Degree” in all that Time! You will see all sorts of Videos about the Glaciers and Ice Shelf melting, but they are NOT Based on Long Term Scientific Data. You believe that the Earth is… ‘How Old _____ ?”
Now that YOU… are faced with such Information, what is Your Opinion about The Earth and the Supposed Problems? I am not here to change your mind about such issues, but to get YOU… “To Think Through… These Things for YOURSELF!” Do NOT allow the Media to Corrupt… Your Reason & Logic Skills… with their Propaganda!
Your Real Care… 'Should Be... for People! What have you done today as… A Random Act of Kindness… for another Human Being… Today? Have you even had a… ‘Kind Word’… for your Grumpy Neighbor? Have you helped… Someone… you did not know that Needed Help? What can you do today… for another Human Being… that was a Missed Opportunity… Yesterday?
· (Matthew 25:42-to-45) For I was hungry, and you gave me nothing to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me nothing to drink.
· (Matt 25:43) I was a stranger, and you didn't welcome me. I was naked, and you didn't clothe me. I was sick and in prison, and you didn't visit me.'
· (Matt 25:44) "Then they will reply, = 'Lord, = when did we see you = hungry = or thirsty = or as a stranger = or naked = or sick = or in prison = and didn't help you?'
· (Matt 25:45) Then He will say to them, = 'Truly I [God] tell you, = in that you = did not do it for one of the least important of these, = you did not do it for me.'
How about IT? Simply LOOK for the Opportunity and Then Do Something!

“Christian Music – 101” …Blog.
Key… “Every Song… is A Sermon!”
How about IT? Do you listen to Christian Music? Most do not realize that just because the name is called, “Christian”… ‘Does Not make it So!’ Right away, some will Immediately get defensive and tell me that… I am hypercritical. Sorry, but You are… Mistaken!
· (Ephesians 5:10) Proving = what is acceptable to the Lord.
To realistically discuss… this subject, we have to ASK… “Does Satan come into the Church or is he just limited to the World?” Look at his ministers and workers and then answer the question in the affirmative. Satan and his workers have infiltrated the Church and MOST are not even aware of that fact! Satan has the world blinded already! See… 2Corinthians 4:4.
· (2Corinthians 11:13-14) For such ones are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
· (2Cor 11:14) Did not even Satan marvelously transform himself into an angel of light?
· (2Cor 11:15) Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves as ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works.
Let us use… the Bible as the ONLY… “Pattern for Music”. The Book of Psalms, which is the music book of Israel. In those Psalms, there is the Name of God often spoken of. Those Psalms are… loaded with doctrine… that is… teaching about God and His dealings with mankind. There are so many verses speaking about the validity of His Word, the Bible.
· (2Timothy 3:16-17) All Scripture is God-breathed, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
· (2Tim 3:17) that the man of God may be perfected, thoroughly furnished to every good work.
Now to today’s… Christian Music. First, take away the words and listen to the Beat. Much of it sounds like… ‘Rock Music!’ Say it isn’t so? Sorry it is! Much of it is… “7-11 Music!” Seven words, 11-times or eleven words, 7-times. Where is the doctrine that the Psalms have? It is not there? How can that be? Does Satan have the… Ability To… ‘Make Music?’
· (Ezekiel 28:13-14-15) You = have been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering, the ruby, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the turquoise, and the emerald, and gold. = = The workmanship of your = tambourines = and = of your flutes = =was prepared in you = in the day that you were created.
· (Eze 28:14) You = were = the anointed cherub that covers, = and I had put you in the holy height of God where you were; = you have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
· (Eze 28:15) You were perfect = in your ways from the day that you were created, = = until iniquity was found in you.
Wow…! Whatever the organs Lucifer had when he was created, were taken with Him… when… “Iniquity was found in you… Ezek 28:15” He then became… SATAN… and took that… ‘Ability to Make Music’… with him in that rebellion and fall of one third of the angels with him.
Now ‘How’ will… You determine what is of God, and what is of Satan? What will you use to see if… to test the music and… the Words and the Melody… to see IF in fact… the music is of God or of Satan? Remember he always comes as an… “Angel of Light” and not of one of Evil and Darkness! May I make a simple suggestion?
Then listen to… the Words. Much of it, never says the Name of Jesus, God, or His Holy Spirit, as the Psalms do. They have been replaced with He, Him and other words that do not identify God the Father, His Son… Christ Jesus, or the Holy Spirit. Again the doctrine of the Psalms is missing in MOST of that music called… Christian. Even compare it to some of the Old Hymns that used to be used in the Churches.
Many times… in the church services, it is called… “Worship!” Is that in fact so… or is it just called that by the religious? Much of it is called… “Inspired”… by that giving it a form of validity as if by the Holy Spirit. It is in fact… Inspired and is it in fact… Worship Music? I believe NOT!
Most of the… music is now called… Contemporary!
It sounds more... like the World's 'Rock & Roll' than it does to the Praise of God Alone! Say it isn’t so? Sorry, but it IS! Take an old hymn book, open it an then Read the Words… “Out Loud!” Some have even counterfeited the Words and added their “Rock Music” to it… to make it more… “Acceptable to the World”.
“IF you build it… They will Come!” Yes we all remember that saying from the movie. But did you realize that in that Movie… GOD was Never Mentioned? Heaven was mentioned and even that player that no one could stand was there.
That is what… they have done to… Christian Music! They have made it Acceptable to All! Sin is… hardly even mentioned! The Blood of Jesus is… hardly even mentioned! God is… hardly even mentioned! Jesus is mentioned… But not like the Scripture… Exalts Him!
“Our God is an Awesome God”… is a catchy tune sung in most churches. Yet its theology… is straight… from Hell! Say it isn’t So? It is So! What does the Scripture… say about God and Other gods [small g]? Is there only One True God… by Nature… By… “Being!”
· (Isaiah 44:6) So says Jehovah, the King of Israel, and His redeemer Jehovah of Hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; = and besides = Me = there is = no God.
· (Isaiah 45:5) I am Jehovah, = and there is none else, = no God = besides Me; = I clothed you, though you have not known Me;
· (Isaiah 45:21) Declare and bring near; yea, let them take counsel together. = Who has declared this of old? = Who has told it from then? = = Is it not I, Jehovah? = And there is = = no other God besides Me; = = a just God and a Savior; = = there is none = besides Me.
Ok you say… now you are… ‘Splitting Word!’ Sorry NO! “The Words are what they Are!” You Cannot Arbitrarily… change the definition of the words to make them… TO FIT… your religious context. Words are Words! They convey meaning! You cannot make then say… what they do not say!
Perhaps a test… that you may use is the Word of God! Oh, that is too much work! Really? You mean that the God of the Bible… will just accept your words of music… any way just because it is called… Christian? Sorry NO!
· (Isaiah 8:20) To the Law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this Word, it is because no light is in them.
· (Isaiah 29:13) And Jehovah said, Because this people draw near Me with their mouth, and with their lips honor Me, but have removed their heart far from Me, and their fear toward Me is taught by the command of men; [Not!]
Isn’t it about time… that you take a Second Look… at what You call Worship Music? Why should I, you know all the Churches sing the same Rocky Christian Music! We are all doing the Same Thing… so it must be right? Not So! Will you have a reward ‘in heaven…’ for praising God through song here on earth? Absolutely… Yes! But that ‘song’… is a work and… that will be tried by God!
· (1Corinthians 3:11-to-15) For any other foundation = can no one lay = than the one being laid, = Who is Jesus Christ.
· (1Cor 3:12) And if anyone builds = on this foundation = gold, silver, precious stones, = wood, hay, stubble,
· (1Cor 3:13) Each one's work = shall be revealed. = For the Day shall declare it, = because it shall be revealed by fire; = and the fire shall try = each one's work = as to what kind it is.
· (1Cor 3:14) If anyone's work = which he built remains, = he shall receive a reward.
· (1Cor 3:15) If anyone's work = shall be burned up, = he shall suffer loss. = But he shall be saved, = yet so as by fire.
So where does… that leave Me? What do I do when I go to Church and I know the song is “Not what God would have?” You must make the choice on what to do. Perhaps you might share this letter with your Pastor. You might even take to writing…. Some Good Scriptural Songs… that really Glorify God, Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit!
Simply remember… Jesus, the Christ Jesus of the Bible… is “Christ Jesus the Messiah!” Christ means Messiah! That is His Proper Name! Jesus the Messiah. Not just plain… Jesus! Well you may once again falsely accuse me of Splitting Hairs? Not!
(Colossians 4:11) And Jesus, = which is called Justus, = who are of the circumcision. These only are my fellow workers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me.
When you sing… about the ‘JESUS’… of the Bible… Is HE this one [Col 4:11] … or is He… Christ Jesus the Messiah? If you name is Karen and I call you Sally… is it the Same, just because I called you… Karen? NOT! This is probably a lot to… Think & Pray… About?
Key… “Every Song… is A Sermon!”

They have been replaced with He, Him and other words that do not identify God the Father, His Son… Christ Jesus, or the Holy Spirit. Again the doctrine of the Psalms is missing in MOST of that music called… Christian. Even compare it to some of the Old Hymns that used to be used in the Churches.
Many times… in the church services, it is called… “Worship!” Is that in fact so… or is it just called that by the religious? Much of it is called… “Inspired”… by that giving it a form of validity as if by the Holy Spirit. It is in fact… Inspired and is it in fact… Worship Music? I believe NOT!
Most of the… music is now called… Contemporary!
It sounds more... like the World's 'Rock & Roll' than it does to the Praise of God Alone! Say it isn’t so? Sorry, but it IS! Take an old hymn book, open it an then Read the Words… “Out Loud!” Some have even counterfeited the Words and added their “Rock Music” to it… to make it more… “Acceptable to the World”.
“IF you build it… They will Come!” Yes we all remember that saying from the movie. But did you realize that in that Movie… GOD was Never Mentioned? Heaven was mentioned and even that player that no one could stand was there.
That is what… they have done to… Christian Music! They have made it Acceptable to All! Sin is… hardly even mentioned! The Blood of Jesus is… hardly even mentioned! God is… hardly even mentioned! Jesus is mentioned… But not like the Scripture… Exalts Him!
“Our God is an Awesome God”… is a catchy tune sung in most churches. Yet its theology… is straight… from Hell! Say it isn’t So? It is So! What does the Scripture… say about God and Other gods [small g]? Is there only One True God… by Nature… By… “Being!”
· (Isaiah 44:6) So says Jehovah, the King of Israel, and His redeemer Jehovah of Hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; = and besides = Me = there is = no God.
· (Isaiah 45:5) I am Jehovah, = and there is none else, = no God = besides Me; = I clothed you, though you have not known Me;
· (Isaiah 45:21) Declare and bring near; yea, let them take counsel together. = Who has declared this of old? = Who has told it from then? = = Is it not I, Jehovah? = And there is = = no other God besides Me; = = a just God and a Savior; = = there is none = besides Me.
Ok you say… now you are… ‘Splitting Word!’ Sorry NO! “The Words are what they Are!” You Cannot Arbitrarily… change the definition of the words to make them… TO FIT… your religious context. Words are Words! They convey meaning! You cannot make then say… what they do not say!
Perhaps a test… that you may use is the Word of God! Oh, that is too much work! Really? You mean that the God of the Bible… will just accept your words of music… any way just because it is called… Christian? Sorry NO!
· (Isaiah 8:20) To the Law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this Word, it is because no light is in them.
· (Isaiah 29:13) And Jehovah said, Because this people draw near Me with their mouth, and with their lips honor Me, but have removed their heart far from Me, and their fear toward Me is taught by the command of men; [Not!]
Isn’t it about time… that you take a Second Look… at what You call Worship Music? Why should I, you know all the Churches sing the same Rocky Christian Music! We are all doing the Same Thing… so it must be right? Not So! Will you have a reward ‘in heaven…’ for praising God through song here on earth? Absolutely… Yes! But that ‘song’… is a work and… that will be tried by God!
· (1Corinthians 3:11-to-15) For any other foundation = can no one lay = than the one being laid, = Who is Jesus Christ.
· (1Cor 3:12) And if anyone builds = on this foundation = gold, silver, precious stones, = wood, hay, stubble,
· (1Cor 3:13) Each one's work = shall be revealed. = For the Day shall declare it, = because it shall be revealed by fire; = and the fire shall try = each one's work = as to what kind it is.
· (1Cor 3:14) If anyone's work = which he built remains, = he shall receive a reward.
· (1Cor 3:15) If anyone's work = shall be burned up, = he shall suffer loss. = But he shall be saved, = yet so as by fire.
So where does… that leave Me? What do I do when I go to Church and I know the song is “Not what God would have?” You must make the choice on what to do. Perhaps you might share this letter with your Pastor. You might even take to writing…. Some Good Scriptural Songs… that really Glorify God, Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit!
Simply remember… Jesus, the Christ Jesus of the Bible… is “Christ Jesus the Messiah!” Christ means Messiah! That is His Proper Name! Jesus the Messiah. Not just plain… Jesus! Well you may once again falsely accuse me of Splitting Hairs? Not!
(Colossians 4:11) And Jesus, = which is called Justus, = who are of the circumcision. These only are my fellow workers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me.
When you sing… about the ‘JESUS’… of the Bible… Is HE this one [Col 4:11] … or is He… Christ Jesus the Messiah? If you name is Karen and I call you Sally… is it the Same, just because I called you… Karen? NOT! This is probably a lot to… Think & Pray… About?
Key… “Every Song… is A Sermon!”

“History – 101”… Gettysburg.
Perhaps now is… the time to count the cost of “The Freedoms” we have here in America. Many… “Forget”… the cost paid by others. Perhaps, if you will take the time to read it over, you will see that the Freedoms… we take for granted… were paid for by… ‘Others’ that… “Knew what Freedom meant”.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gettysburg_Address
There are actually five (or more) versions of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. This is the version that appears on the Lincoln Monument in Washington, D. C. and contains the words "under God." This term appears to be the most notable difference among the five versions. According to popular accounts Lincoln spoke those words.
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war.
We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate—we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.
The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.
It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom— and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

“Impossible – 101”…Blog
Yesterday… I read ‘this’ on a blog I visited… “Impossible… doesn't mean that it is not possible. It actually means that ‘nobody’ has done it yet. We are born ‘to break’ the limits…”
Is this statement… “True or False?” Many times those that use… ‘Motivational Techniques’… use paradoxes like these, inserting their… ‘Own Definition’… for the “Real Meanings”. How about if I… “Test”… the above premise and see if it is… ‘True or False?’
In 1954 a man… named… “Roger Banister”… was the first runner to break the… “4-minute mile” record. There will ‘Never’… be that same record… to be broken. Once broken, it stands for eternity. Now one may break a ‘2-mile run’ record but… “Never, the 1-mile record”.
The “Impossibility”… is that someone will break the… “4-minute mile record!” Roger did that ‘Already’. It is therefore… “Impossible”… for someone to ‘Break’… that… Broken Record! …“Yes =or= No?”
Often time people… use particular words and attach, their ‘Own Definition’ to validate their ‘Own Agenda’. The ‘Facts and the Truth’ often will prove that… Wrong. Most do not examine speech or even news reports to determine the Agenda of the writer or speaker or organization.
No, I am… not speaking about “Theoretical Physics” or “Dark Matter Theory”. Just plain… every day ‘English’. ‘American English’… is vastly different than ‘English-English’, or ‘Welch-English’ or ‘Scottish-English’. Perhaps, I may say it better… this way?
· “I know that you believe you understand = what you think I said, = but I'm not sure = you realize = that what you heard = is not what I meant.”
· It seems Apparent from = the Complex Syntax = of your Interrogatory = that you are Oblivious = to your Pontification.
Let us just let… The words say …what they Mean… and ‘NOT’ Attach… our Own Meaning or Definition to them… to validate our ‘Thinking or Lack Thereof!’ Most simply do not take this approach but simply believe… ‘Every Word’. “Critical Thinking… is not in their Vocabulary.
Our late… President Clinton was famous for That Trick. In his written response to Congress during his impeachment trial… He defined his interpretation of the word… ‘Sex!’ You and I know and understand what sex is, and all its nuisances. Making up your ‘own definition’ is simply… treachery and obfuscation. [Lies!]
What else is… Impossible? …There are Many! …Here is one I ‘often’ use…!
· (Numbers 23:19) God is not a man that He should lie, = neither the son of man = that He should repent. = Has He said, = and shall He not do it? = Or has He spoken, = and shall He not = make it good?
It is also… impossible for a ‘Man to have a Baby’. Genetically speaking… making the determination of Sex using… “DNA Proof”… there is NO Man that has had a Baby! You may of heard in the News of ‘a man having a baby’, but it was a Woman, ‘surgically changed’, and called by the News… “A Man”. “When in FACT”… “DNA Genetically”… she was still a woman and always will be so, no matter what she calls herself. What will you call… “IT?”
Many Times…. Due to their Agenda… the “Names and the Descriptions”… have been changed to achieve… ‘Political Correctness!’ But Whose… ‘Political Correctness?’ That of the… “Anti-God”… Liberal Agenda. Say it isn’t so? Since when did a Homosexual become… “A Gay?” Never! They are still… A Homosexual! Adam & Steve… NOT… Adam & Eve as God made them.
Now before you… falsely accuse me of… ‘Gay Bashing’, Simply Look at the Facts. Language simply is changed by those in Political Control to accommodate the Agenda of the Voting Public. That will keep that particular party… in office and… “In Control”… another Term!
Historically…0ne of the “Cesar’s of Rome”… had a… ‘Horse’… for a ‘domestic partner’. How long… before someone starts demanding… “Veterinary care”… for their domestic partner = whose is their… Pet? Only ‘30-years ago’… no one thought of health care for a domestic partner. What is next in our society? What NEXT...will you concede to… ‘Mentally?’
· (Ephesians 5:6) Do not let anyone = deceive you with meaningless words, = for it is because of these things = that God's wrath = comes on those who are disobedient.
· (1Thessalonians 5:21) Prove all things, = hold fast to the good.

“WYSIWYG – 101” Blog.
Do you know… what “WYSIWYG” means? It is an acronym for… What You See Is What You Get! Is that a ‘True statement’ or “Not?” It is not in most cases. You are really never told the Cost of your decisions, especially in Life. The Lie continues and you are not even aware of it.
This past week… I posted a new background photo and had varied responses. First let me say, that in this age of ‘Digital Photography’, you cannot trust what you see. One would falsely assume that there was $100,000 dollars USA there. Are those real $100 bills and is each stack banded with a ‘$10,000-wrapper’… Real? I will leave you guessing… “The Truth” is… I am Not Wealthy!
Many today look… only on the outside without any testing. I am just the opposite, as I question Everything. Simply… I am from… “Missouri – The Show Me State”… in all my dealing with situations. I believe Nothing on the surface... especially a Photograph.
Nor did I… believe the “Change” claims of our latest president. “Change for What?” Change for Who? As Adolph Hitler offered his people… I know that the Change that is offered is Harmful to This Nation and Our Prosperity. The incurred debt since his taking office is now in… ‘Interest Only’… Is… “One Trillion Dollars A Year!” How can ANY Nation hope to repay that?
You have all… heard the saying… ‘The Faster I go, the Behinder I Get!’
So it is… One Cannot borrow Oneself… “Out of Debt = Into Prosperity!” It will NOT work in your personal Life… Neither in that of A Nation! Just one more… “9-11 Terrorist Attack”… and where would our financial stability Be? “Down the Drain!”
“The Cancer of Debt”… has to be Removed. It cannot be ‘Borrowed Upon’ in hopes of… “Change!” National and Personal Debt will surely lead… to More of the Same! Simply ask yourself… Can I Borrow my way… out of Debt? How then can Any Nation? It can’t!
Well I am sorry… I cannot listen to any more of your ‘Rantings’, things are Not as Bad… as that! Well then just simply don’t listen to what I say! Don’t believe me! Do some checking for yourself. Go onto the Internet and Google… ‘Debt.’ Look at the Debt Clock.
Ok things are… really that Bad? So where does the FIX start? It starts with You & Me & Each and every one of US! Correct your spending! Do not buy any ‘Toys’ for yourself. What Toys? You know what I am speaking about. The… “I Owe It To Myself”… kind of purchases. Sure it is Not going to be Easy! You have spent a Lifetime of Indulgence. So have I!
It is Like…
In Addition Each… of us needs to write our perspective Government Officials Demanding a… “No-Debt-Nation!” Remember this is a Government Of the People, By the People and For the People! Not Of, By and For… “The Politian’s!” We may Change… Only with the Help from… “GOD!”
(2Chronicles 7:14) if My people, = who are called by My name, = shall humble themselves = and pray, = and seek My face, = and turn from their wicked ways, = then = I will hear from Heaven = and will forgive their sin = and = will heal their land.

“Thankfulness-101”…Blog.
Many of the… times in my life… things Did NOT… Go as I expected or planned, rather the opposite. Only later down the ‘road of life’ did I realize that it was for the Best! Some of my mistakes, and believe me, I have made some ‘real doozeys’… but though all of that… I have become Thankful.
I find in life… I am ‘thankful’ for everything I go through. Although it is not easy… it is teaching “me”… lesions about life and interpersonal relations. Some people are not easy to get along with. Many times… I argue with that person in the mirror! [Me] …LOL! Each of us are fighting our own… ‘Trials of life.’ We each ‘learn’ or we ‘stop from learning’. It’s just that simple.
Life makes us… either ‘Better or Bitter’. It all depends on our attitude. IF we are ‘thankful’ for the trials, then we can them appreciate the good times, “even better”. But if we are ‘not thankful’, we then become resentful of others and their lives. All of us are going to be tried by life, but it is ‘the friends’ that… stand by us… somehow makes the lemonade just a little sweeter!
I heard from… some friends who started college this past year. The ‘struggle of maturation’ is making them both, the brother and sister, stronger through… “Thankfulness!” I have kept in touch and it is amazing how they are maturing. They are some friends that I met on the internet and are from Canada, but attending school in Chicago.
How about you…? Are you going through any trials of life? One thing you may be sure of, that is Change. Change, change and more change. All of my life I had ‘20/10’ vision but now I wear glasses. I use to run for exercise and now have to use crutches due to my knee operation. My hope is that I will be able to return to London for holiday this year.
Being ‘Thankful’ can… and will ‘completely change’ your outlook on life. Try an experiment this week. Begin to be thankful when something does not go as you expect it to. Remember ‘control’ is just an illusion. We believe we are ‘in control’, but we really are not. Being ‘thankful’ and you will have a better outlook on life today and… the rest of your life!

- (Job 2:10) But he said to her, You speak as one of the foolish ones speak. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this Job did not sin with his lips.
- (Romans 8:28) And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

“Knowing God – 101”…Blog.
Many know about… God and still fewer Know God. Is there a difference or is it just semantics? Ask the average person if they know God and they will respond about their… ‘knowing about God’.
Many today have… a religion that gives them information about God. Still more know things via ‘hear-say’ about God. Their religion, especially during ‘Christmas or Easter’ give them some comfort from knowing about God. They attend church mostly Only Those Two days and seldom other Sundays.
The intellect can… learn ‘facts about God’. It can also pull of some religious language in a mixed crowd to fit in. Many of the ‘exposes about God’, are just the ramblings of those that… only know ‘about’ God.
One religious survey… of late over 50% of the pastors of churches did not believe in the complete authority of the Bible. Wow! Pastors - that do not believe the Bible, preaching to people to share with them what God said? How can that Be?
To know God… One must know ‘His Word, The Bible’. God, the God of the Bible, ‘does not’ today speak though prophets, visions or dreams. He speak through His Completed Word. And No, there are No Missing Books!
· (1Samuel 3:21) And Jehovah appeared again in Shiloh. = For Jehovah = revealed himself = to Samuel = in Shiloh = by the Word of Jehovah.
Most today… do not know the Word of God good enough to even tell if religion is ‘right or wrong’. They would not ‘dare allow’ their employer to short them 5-minutes pay, yet do not use the same criteria for God. They simply ‘know about’ Him, with an ‘imperfect opinion’ not based on… The Bible.
· (Isaiah 8:20) To the Law and to the testimony! = If they do not speak according to this Word, = it is because = no light = is in them.
Even God… had to tell His Own people that they needed the... “Law & The Testimony”... that is, ‘The Scriptures’. How much more today… in this climate of …“The global village mentality!”
Opinions about how… God works and His dealings with mankind are a varied as ‘the varieties’ of hair coloring and makeup products that are available today. “Mix and match” is the name of the Game. It often starts as… I knew someone that…! Or look how God did…!
Personal Experience seems… to have taken authority over… ‘Thus says God!’ People have each of their ‘individualized experiences’ that validate that God worked in their lives. “Many” of whom have actually violated… “God’s Word!”
Just because it… feels ‘good & right’, does not mean that it is “Approved by God and His Word”. Stealing those ‘few extra minutes’… on a coffee break is still stealing. Padding that expense account… is still Stealing. Lying is still cheating as… ‘Most’ will do anything to get… ‘the Advantage’… in Any situation.
How about those… Sports Players that took… “Drugs and Growth Hormones” to get a physical advantage over the players on the Other Team? Fair? NOT! Some of whom, you can see ‘praying’ during the… end of the Game. No… Not All are Hypocrites, some are genuine ‘not only’ in their faith, but their “actions also!”
That is the… Difference in Knowing God… and… Knowing ‘About’ God! Those that “Know God” = Know Him in their “Heart, Mind, Emotions and Will!” Their “Obedience to the Word of God”… is proof of their Love for Him.
· (John 14:15) If you love Me, = keep My commandments.
· (John 14:24) He who = does not love Me = does not keep My Words, = and the Word which you hear = is not Mine, = but the Father's = Who sent Me.
· (1John 5:2-3) By this we know = that we love the children of God, = whenever we = love God = and = keep His commandments.
· (1John 5:3) For this is the love of God, = that we keep His commandments, = and His commandments = are not burdensome.
Most that say… they know God, seldom ever spend time in His Word, The Bible. How about You? You eat three or more, physical meals and snacks – daily. But how much time do your feed your soul… on the Word of God?
· (John 15:3) Now you are clean = through the Word = which I [Jesus] have spoken = to you.
· (2Corinthians 4:16) For this cause = we do not faint; = but though = our outward man perishes, = yet the inward man = is being renewed = day by day.
All right you… may say to me, but… HOW… do I get to Know God? You cannot know God, unless you are searching for Him! A thief never looks for a Cop for Help… while stealing, unless to avoid being caught! So unless you are prepared, to give Him, God… “All of You” [the best you know how]… You will never find… Him.
Many are satisfied… with just Knowing ‘About’ God. They want to keep their ‘options open’, you know, just in case a… ‘not so honest’… situation comes about. You set the pattern you choose. No one makes you steal, lie or cheat. You choose to serve you… or to serve… “God!”
So where do… you start? Simply ‘select and dedicate’… “A Time and Place”… to meet with God. Forget the Cell. Take your Bible and open it to one of the Gospels, may I suggest Luke? Then simply prayer a prayer… like this one…
“Dear Father God… I do not know You… but I want to. I do not know nor do I understand Your Word. Please open Your Word to my heart, so that I may know and understand You and Your Word… in Jesus’ Name I pray… Amen & Amen!”
I will tell you… that if you do that, and search for God with… “your whole heart”… He has promised to reveal ‘Himself to You!’ Satan will try everything to keep you out of God’s Word, the Bible. Do Not get discouraged, just keep reading and God will reveal Himself to You… “Through His Word”.
· (Jeremiah 29:11-12-13) For I know the purposes = which I am purposing for you, = says Jehovah; = purposes of peace = and not of evil, = to give you a future = and a hope.
· (Jer 29:12) Then = you shall call on Me, = and you shall go = and pray to Me, = and = I will listen = to you.

Many today have… a religion that gives them information about God. Still more know things via ‘hear-say’ about God. Their religion, especially during ‘Christmas or Easter’ give them some comfort from knowing about God. They attend church mostly Only Those Two days and seldom other Sundays.
The intellect can… learn ‘facts about God’. It can also pull of some religious language in a mixed crowd to fit in. Many of the ‘exposes about God’, are just the ramblings of those that… only know ‘about’ God.
One religious survey… of late over 50% of the pastors of churches did not believe in the complete authority of the Bible. Wow! Pastors - that do not believe the Bible, preaching to people to share with them what God said? How can that Be?
To know God… One must know ‘His Word, The Bible’. God, the God of the Bible, ‘does not’ today speak though prophets, visions or dreams. He speak through His Completed Word. And No, there are No Missing Books!
· (1Samuel 3:21) And Jehovah appeared again in Shiloh. = For Jehovah = revealed himself = to Samuel = in Shiloh = by the Word of Jehovah.
Most today… do not know the Word of God good enough to even tell if religion is ‘right or wrong’. They would not ‘dare allow’ their employer to short them 5-minutes pay, yet do not use the same criteria for God. They simply ‘know about’ Him, with an ‘imperfect opinion’ not based on… The Bible.
· (Isaiah 8:20) To the Law and to the testimony! = If they do not speak according to this Word, = it is because = no light = is in them.
Even God… had to tell His Own people that they needed the... “Law & The Testimony”... that is, ‘The Scriptures’. How much more today… in this climate of …“The global village mentality!”
Opinions about how… God works and His dealings with mankind are a varied as ‘the varieties’ of hair coloring and makeup products that are available today. “Mix and match” is the name of the Game. It often starts as… I knew someone that…! Or look how God did…!
Personal Experience seems… to have taken authority over… ‘Thus says God!’ People have each of their ‘individualized experiences’ that validate that God worked in their lives. “Many” of whom have actually violated… “God’s Word!”
Just because it… feels ‘good & right’, does not mean that it is “Approved by God and His Word”. Stealing those ‘few extra minutes’… on a coffee break is still stealing. Padding that expense account… is still Stealing. Lying is still cheating as… ‘Most’ will do anything to get… ‘the Advantage’… in Any situation.
How about those… Sports Players that took… “Drugs and Growth Hormones” to get a physical advantage over the players on the Other Team? Fair? NOT! Some of whom, you can see ‘praying’ during the… end of the Game. No… Not All are Hypocrites, some are genuine ‘not only’ in their faith, but their “actions also!”
That is the… Difference in Knowing God… and… Knowing ‘About’ God! Those that “Know God” = Know Him in their “Heart, Mind, Emotions and Will!” Their “Obedience to the Word of God”… is proof of their Love for Him.
· (John 14:15) If you love Me, = keep My commandments.
· (John 14:24) He who = does not love Me = does not keep My Words, = and the Word which you hear = is not Mine, = but the Father's = Who sent Me.
· (1John 5:2-3) By this we know = that we love the children of God, = whenever we = love God = and = keep His commandments.
· (1John 5:3) For this is the love of God, = that we keep His commandments, = and His commandments = are not burdensome.
Most that say… they know God, seldom ever spend time in His Word, The Bible. How about You? You eat three or more, physical meals and snacks – daily. But how much time do your feed your soul… on the Word of God?
· (John 15:3) Now you are clean = through the Word = which I [Jesus] have spoken = to you.
· (2Corinthians 4:16) For this cause = we do not faint; = but though = our outward man perishes, = yet the inward man = is being renewed = day by day.
All right you… may say to me, but… HOW… do I get to Know God? You cannot know God, unless you are searching for Him! A thief never looks for a Cop for Help… while stealing, unless to avoid being caught! So unless you are prepared, to give Him, God… “All of You” [the best you know how]… You will never find… Him.
Many are satisfied… with just Knowing ‘About’ God. They want to keep their ‘options open’, you know, just in case a… ‘not so honest’… situation comes about. You set the pattern you choose. No one makes you steal, lie or cheat. You choose to serve you… or to serve… “God!”
So where do… you start? Simply ‘select and dedicate’… “A Time and Place”… to meet with God. Forget the Cell. Take your Bible and open it to one of the Gospels, may I suggest Luke? Then simply prayer a prayer… like this one…
“Dear Father God… I do not know You… but I want to. I do not know nor do I understand Your Word. Please open Your Word to my heart, so that I may know and understand You and Your Word… in Jesus’ Name I pray… Amen & Amen!”
I will tell you… that if you do that, and search for God with… “your whole heart”… He has promised to reveal ‘Himself to You!’ Satan will try everything to keep you out of God’s Word, the Bible. Do Not get discouraged, just keep reading and God will reveal Himself to You… “Through His Word”.
· (Jeremiah 29:11-12-13) For I know the purposes = which I am purposing for you, = says Jehovah; = purposes of peace = and not of evil, = to give you a future = and a hope.
· (Jer 29:12) Then = you shall call on Me, = and you shall go = and pray to Me, = and = I will listen = to you.
· (Jer 29:13) And you = shall seek Me = and find Me, = when you search for Me = with all your heart.

“Angels – 101”…Blog Do Angels really Help?
“Angels – 101”…Blog Do Angels really Help?
Lately… I have heard a lot of talk and seen a lot of ‘Angle-Thinking!’ Do Angels really do what people believe they Do? Is keeping an Angel Statue or Picture of any good against Evil? Many post Angels or facsimiles of them on their Blogs. There are even songs… “Angel Eyes!”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJaKv9dgQPU
Many… treat Angels… as though they are As Powerful As GOD! They often ‘WRONGLY’ use verses… ‘taken out of context’… and make application to… today-2009! Are there angels watching over us? Do they provide protection to individuals… ‘Who don’t even Know GOD?’
· (Luke 4:10) For it is written, 'God will put his angels in charge of you to watch over you carefully.
As some sort… of Divine Protection… without Understanding that - that Particular Verse… was written to Christ Jesus… “The Messiah”… and was not meant for ‘The Believer!’ Why is that you may say? What protection then… does the True Believer… Have?
· (1John 4:4) Little children, you belong to God and have overcome them, = because = the one = who is in you [The Holy Spirit] = is greater than = = the one [Satan] = who is in the world.
· (Romans 8:9) But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone has not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His.
How about the… Program… “Saving Grace”… where an adulterous, murdering, drunk cop named Grace is told by her… “Second Chance Angel = Earl”… that she is someone ‘Special to God?’ Surely those that are ignorant of the Bible… but who are “Religious” would take offense to my statement. Truth is still… Truth!
She and Earl… even got into a shower in one of the episodes. Wonder what YOU thought they did? Angels ‘do not’ have sex with humans, yet the writers and producers would have you believe they do. Oh yes, Earl was consuming Booze in a bar also! Ever wonder what kind of angel he is? And which ‘god’ [note the small-g]… really sent Earl or the people that run this program?
Grace has had… an ‘ongoing affair’ with one of her working cop friends, who is married. Grace continues to drink like a fish and ‘whore around’ and her life has not changed, but… God thinks she is a Special Person? That is what Earl keeps on telling her!
Even Leon who… ‘killed a cop’… was made to feel sorry for by… all the players in this program. Even children were used to put forth an… “Anti Death Penalty AGENDA”… in several programs. Earl even visited Leon, who by the way… “Never Repented for the ‘Death’ of that Cop!”
Finally Leon was… executed, to serve Justice. “NEVER Once”… was the cops family seen grieving over the dead cops… death. ‘Never Once’ was there portrayed… Justice for “Murdered Cop!” Only for poor Leon! Now does that seem like an angel of God doing that work or another angel… that you seldom hear about?
And what about… Satanic Angels? How would YOU… know if one was of Satan or Not?
· (2Corinthians 11:13-14) For such ones are = false apostles, = deceitful workers, = transforming themselves = into the apostles of Christ.
· (2Cor 11:14) Did not even Satan = marvelously transform himself = into an angel of light?
I have a friend who has… Angel Key Rings, Angel Stickers everywhere, Angel Statutes, Angel ‘this and that!’ I asked her, what were they For? She replied, For Protection against Demons and Evil! I showed her this verse… and told her that… ‘She was worshiping Angels.’ Needless today, she no longer considers me her friend, but her enemy. All over… ‘True Willful Ignorance’… of what the Bible says.
· (Colossians 2:18) Let no one who delights in humility and the worship of angels cheat you out of the prize by boasting about what he has seen. Such a person is puffed up without cause by his carnal mind.
Do you spend more time… Interested in Angels… than You Do …With The Word of GOD? Do you know more about Angels… than you do about… the Word of GOD? Do you consider Angels your friend, and are not sure… If GOD… Does?
Is you thinking… swayed by programs as ‘Saving Grace’ to make you believe… “Hollywood Fiction instead of… Bible Truth?” What you agree with mentally… you will soon come to believe!

“Capital Punishment – 101” …Blog - ‘English = Deutsch = Việt’
A Hot Potato today… because I am writing about a controversial issue. Not in my mind… but in the minds of some Americans who have been brainwashed by the ‘news media’. I totally believe in Capital Punishment because God, the God of the Bible does. Perhaps I may share with you some thoughts about this issue?
“All that is necessary = for the triumph of evil = is that good people = Do Nothing!” …British Statesman, ‘Edmund Burke’.
Today because of… the many legal challenges of the ‘ACLU’… the American Civil Liberties Union., ‘Justice is not Carried Out!’ Appeal after appeal may drag on with challenges for years. A convicted prisoner may spend up to 14-years on death row, after having murdered one or more persons. Remember ‘Ted Bundy’ and all the female coeds [35] he murdered?
Criminals are often… sentenced to only 8-years for murder and then Paroled? Imagine that, your ‘child or relative’ is murdered and the criminal gets off? Most convicted felons are repeat offenders, only to kill again. Each society has to deal with this issue, but does it make ‘common sense’ to allow a murder to go and… murder again? Absolutely NOT!
The Liberal who… protests the ‘death penalty’ often quotes a Bible verse, ‘You shall not Kill’ taken from Exodus 20:13. “The mistake that they make”… is that in the Hebrew Language… there are 5-different words for… ‘Kill’… translated into English. The sense of this verse is… “You Shall NOT Murder… Innocent Life!” As in the example of Abortion. The Innocent Baby is ‘KILLED’… in his or her… mother’s womb. That Baby is Innocent! But… the adult that kills another… ‘Is Guilty!’
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3LhS2io5lk
About now you… are about to say… ‘When are you going to discuss Capital Punishment?’ A complete discussion could not be taken with first listening to the ‘Nay-Sayers’ and what they have to say. I believe that has been covered by the above discussion.
There is a ground work… based in LAW… throughout the ‘ages and history’… that the murderer would always… forfeit ‘his or her’ Life. These LAWS may be found in each and every culture on every continent. Every society knows… that the murderer… “Must forfeit their life!” Without the… ‘LAW’… we are nothing more than a mob.
(Genesis 9:6) Whoever sheds man's blood, = his blood shall be shed by man; = for He made man in the image of God.
This principle is… ‘To Be’ carried out by the Legal System of that particular country. Many countries have left off from ‘God’s Standard’… and developed their ‘own standard’. Consequently people have no fear of death and do not hold life… ‘precious’. Humans will murder even… ‘children and teens’… and their families are without Justice. The murderer seems to be the only one with… ‘rights?’ Victims and their families… are without recourse!
(Genesis 4:8-9-10) And Cain talked with his brother Abel. And it happened when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him.
(Gen 4:9) And Jehovah GOD said unto Cain, Where is your brother Abel? And he said, I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?
(Gen 4:10) And He [GOD] said, What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries out to… Me [GOD] from the ground.
Here in Florida… a man that killed a ‘13-year old girl’ is still in appeal. There was even a repeat appeal of… ‘cruel and unusual punishment’… for the Electric Chair. Lethal injection has replaced… “Ole Sparky”… the Electric Chair! But what about the family of the ‘13-year old girl’? Where is the justice for Them? “Delayed Justice… is not justice at all!”
(Isaiah 26:21) For behold, Jehovah [GOD] comes out of His place to punish the people of the earth for their iniquity; the earth also shall reveal her blood, and shall no more cover her dead.
Perhaps ‘many’ have… been Desensitized by… All the ‘killing and murder’ in the Videos and especially the “Video Gaming”. Perhaps even by… the ‘Law and Order’ programs on TV and their ‘liberal’ spin on the Death Penalty has changed your thinking? Perhaps you… ‘Think’… differently about this Capital Punishment issue?
Remember the ‘Surviving Families’ …are the “Real Victims of Injustice”! Take some time and re-read this blog and… think this issue through?

"Todesstrafe - 101" Blog 01-29-2009 = Englisches = Deutsches = Vietnamesisch
Eine Heiße Kartoffel heute …, weil ich über ein umstrittenes Problem schreibe. Nicht in meiner Meinung … aber in den Meinungen von einigen Amerikanern, die durch die 'Nachrichtenmedien' einer Gehirnwäsche untergezogen worden sind. Ich glaube völlig an die Todesstrafe, weil Gott, der Gott der Bibel tut. Vielleicht kann ich mit Ihnen einige Gedanken über dieses Problem teilen?
"Alles, was = für den Triumph des Übels = notwendig ist, ist, dass gute Leute = Nichts Tun!"... Britischer Staatsmann, 'Edmund Burke'.
Heute wegen … die vielen gesetzlichen Herausforderungen des 'ACLU' … die amerikanische Vereinigung der Bürgerlichen Freiheiten., 'Gerechtigkeit nicht Ausgeführt wird!' Die Bitte nach der Bitte kann sich mit Herausforderungen seit Jahren in die Länge ziehen. Ein verurteilter Gefangener kann bis zu 14 Jahren für die Todesreihe ausgeben, eine oder mehr Personen ermordet. Erinnern Sie sich 'an Ted Bundy' und alle weiblichen Studentinnen einer gemischten Schule [35] er ermordete?
Verbrecher sind häufig … verurteilt zu nur 8 Jahren für den Mord und dann Bedingt entlassen? Stellen Sie sich vor, dass, Ihr 'Kind oder Verwandter' ermordet wird und der Verbrecher aussteigt? Meiste verurteilte Schwerverbrecher sind mehrmalige Übertreter, nur wieder zu töten. Jede Gesellschaft muss sich mit diesem Problem befassen, aber macht es 'gesunden Menschenverstand', um einem Mord zu erlauben, zu gehen und …-Mord wieder? Absolut NICHT!
Der Liberale, der … gegen die 'Todesstrafe' häufig protestiert, zitiert einen Bibelspruch, 'Sie' genommen vom Exodus 20:13 nicht Töten sollen. "Der Fehler, den sie" … machen, besteht darin, dass in der hebräischen Sprache … es 5-verschiedene Wörter für … gibt, 'Töten' … übersetzt ins Englische. Der Sinn dieses Verss ist … "Sie Sollen nicht … Unschuldiges Leben Ermorden!" Als im Beispiel der Abtreibung. Das Unschuldige Baby wird … in der Gebärmutter seiner oder ihrer … Mutter 'GETÖTET'. Dieses Baby ist Unschuldig! Aber … der Erwachsene, der einen anderen … 'tötet, Ist Schuldig!'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3LhS2io5lk
Über jetzt Sie haben … vor, … 'zu sagen, Wann sind Sie dabei, Todesstrafe zu besprechen?' Eine ganze Diskussion konnte nicht mit dem zuerst Zuhören 'Nein-Sayers' genommen werden, und was sie sagen müssen. Ich glaube, dass durch die obengenannte Diskussion bedeckt worden ist.
Es gibt ein Fundament … beruhend im GESETZ … überall in den 'Altern und Geschichte' …, dass der Mörder immer … würde, 'sein oder ihr' Leben zu verwirken. Diese GESETZE können in all und jeder Kultur auf jedem Kontinent gefunden werden. Jede Gesellschaft weiß …, dass der Mörder … "ihr Leben verwirken Muss!" Ohne das … 'GESETZ' … sind wir nichts anderes als eine Menge.
(Genesis 9:6) Wer Menschenblut vergießt, durch den Menschen soll sein Blut vergossen werden; denn im Bilde Gottes hat er den Menschen gemacht.
Dieser Grundsatz ist …, 'um durch das Gesetzliche System dieses besonderen Landes' ausgeführt Zu werden. Viele Länder haben vom Standard des 'Gottes' … aufgehört und ihren 'eigenen Standard' entwickelt. Folglich haben Leute keine Angst vor dem Tod und halten Leben … 'wertvoll' nicht. Menschen werden sogar … 'Kinder und der … von Teenageralter ermorden, und ihre Familien sind ohne Gerechtigkeit. Der Mörder scheint die nur ein mit …' Rechte zu sein? 'Opfer und ihre Familien … sind ohne Zuflucht!
(Genesis 4:8-9-10) Und Kain sprach zu seinem Bruder Abel; und es geschah, als sie auf dem Felde waren, da erhob sich Kain wider seinen Bruder Abel und erschlug ihn.
(Gen 4:9) Und Jahwe sprach zu Kain: Wo ist dein Bruder Abel? Und er sprach: Ich weiß nicht; bin ich meines Bruders Hüter?
(Gen 4:10) Und er sprach: Was hast du getan! Horch! Das Blut deines Bruders schreit zu mir vom Erdboden her.
Hier in Florida … ein Mann, der ein '13-jähriges altes Mädchen' tötete, ist noch in der Bitte. Es gab sogar eine mehrmalige Bitte von … 'grausame und ungewöhnliche Strafe' … für den Elektrischen Stuhl. Tödliche Einspritzung hat … "Ole Sparky" … der Elektrische Stuhl ersetzt! Aber wie steht's mit der Familie des '13-jährigen alten Mädchens'? Wo ist die Gerechtigkeit für Sie? "verspätete sich Gerechtigkeit ist … nicht Gerechtigkeit überhaupt!"
(Isaiah 26:21) Denn siehe, Jahwe tritt hervor aus seiner Stätte, um die Ungerechtigkeit der Bewohner der Erde an ihnen heimzusuchen; und die Erde enthüllt ihr Blut und bedeckt nicht länger ihre Ermordeten.
Vielleicht haben 'viele' … gewesen Desensibilisiert durch … die Ganze 'Tötung und Mord' in den Videos und besonders das "Videospielen". Vielleicht sogar durch … die Programme 'des Rechtes und Ordnung' im Fernsehen und ihrer 'liberalen' Drehung auf der Todesstrafe hat Ihr Denken geändert? Vielleicht 'Denken' Sie … … verschieden über dieses Todesstrafe-Problem? Erinnern Sie sich an die 'Überlebenden Familien, die die "Echten Opfer der Ungerechtigkeit" sind! Nehmen Sie eine Zeit und lesen Sie diesen blog nochmals und denken Sie dieses Problem zu Ende?
Vielen Dank für Ihr OHR! Roger // Schickt // roger459@gamil.com Per Email

"Thủ đô phạt - 101" ... Blog ... 01/29/2009 Tiếng Anh = tiếng Đức = Việt Nam
Đáp nóng khoai tây hôm nay ... bởi vì tôi viết về một vấn đề. Không có trong tâm trí của tôi ... nhưng trong tâm của một số người Mỹ đã được brainwashed của 'tin tức truyền thông'. Tôi hoàn toàn tin tưởng ở Thủ đô phạt vì Thiên Chúa, Thiên Chúa của các Bible hiện. Có lẽ tôi có thể chia sẻ với bạn một vài suy nghĩ về vấn đề này?
"Tất cả những gì là cần thiết cho các triumph = xấu = là người tốt = làm Không có gì!" ... Anh Statesman, 'Edmund Burke'.
Hôm nay vì lý do ... nhiều thách thức pháp lý của các 'ACLU' ... American Civil Liberties Union., 'Tư pháp không được thực hiện! "Sau khi kháng cáo, phúc thẩm có thể kéo về với những thách thức trong nhiều năm qua. Đáp convicted prisoner có thể chi tiêu lên tới 14 năm về cái chết hàng, sau khi có murdered một hoặc nhiều người. Lưu thông tin 'Ted Bundy' và tất cả các phụ nữ coeds [35] ông murdered?
Bọn tội phạm thường ... bị để chỉ 8-năm và sau đó cho murder Paroled? Hãy tưởng tượng rằng, bạn 'con hay thân nhân' là murdered và tố tụng hình sự sẽ giảm? Hầu hết các keát aùn felons được lặp lại phạm tội, chỉ để diệt một lần nữa. Mỗi xã hội đã có để đối phó với vấn đề này, nhưng hiện nó làm cho 'thông thường' để cho phép một murder để đi lại và ... murder? Hoàn toàn không!
Các ... Những người kháng nghị những 'tử hình' thường xuyên báo giá một Bible thơ, 'Bạn sẽ không Kill' lấy từ Exodus 20:13. "Những lỗi lầm mà họ làm cho" ... là ngôn ngữ trong tiếng Do Thái ... có khác nhau từ 5-cho ... 'Kill' ... dịch sang tiếng Anh. Ý thức thơ này là ... "Bạn sẽ không Murder ... Innocent Life!" Như trong ví dụ của Abortion. Các Innocent Em bé là 'giết' ... trong mình ... d ¬ con của mẹ. Em bé đó là Innocent! Nhưng ... những người lớn mà kills khác ... "Có Guilty!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3LhS2io5lk
Thông tin về ... bây giờ bạn đang nói về ... "Khi nào thì bạn sẽ thảo luận về Thủ đô phạt? 'Một cuộc thảo luận hoàn toàn không thể được thực hiện với lần đầu tiên nghe đến' Nay-Sayers' và những gì họ cần phải nói. Tôi tin rằng đã được bảo hiểm của các cuộc thảo luận ở trên.
Có một căn làm việc ... có trụ sở tại Luật ... suốt 'lứa tuổi và lịch sử' ... rằng murderer sẽ luôn luôn ... mất 'của mình' Cuộc sống. Các văn bản pháp luật có thể được tìm thấy trong mỗi và tất cả các nền văn hóa trên mọi châu. Mỗi xã hội ... biết rằng murderer ... "Phải mất cuộc sống của họ!" Nếu không có sự ... 'Luật' ... chúng tôi là không có gì hơn một bao vây.
(Genesis 9:6) Hễ kẻ nào làm đổ máu người, thì sẽ bị người khác làm đổ máu lại; vì Đức Chúa Trời làm nên người như hình của Ngài.
Đây là nguyên tắc ... 'có' thực hiện bởi hệ thống pháp lý của những quốc gia cụ thể. Nhiều quốc gia có trái tắt từ 'tiêu chuẩn của Thiên Chúa' ... và phát triển của mình 'tiêu chuẩn của riêng'. Do vậy người dân không có lo sợ về cái chết và không có tổ chức cuộc sống ... 'quý'. Thậm chí cả con người sẽ murder ... 'trẻ em và thiếu niên' ... và gia đình của họ đang có mà không cần Tư pháp. Các murderer dường như chỉ duy nhất có một ... với các quyền của người? 'Victims và gia đình của họ mà không được ... recourse!
(Genesis 4:8-9-10) Ca-in thuật lại cùng A-bên là em mình. Vả, khi hai người đương ở ngoài đồng, thì Ca-in xông đến A-bên là em mình, và giết đi.
(Gen 4:9) Đức Giê-hô-va hỏi Ca-in rằng: A-bên, em ngươi, ở đâu? Thưa rằng: Tôi không biết; tôi là người giữ em tôi sao?
(Gen 4:10) Đức Giê-hô-va hỏi: Ngươi đă làm điều chi vậy? Tiếng của máu em ngươi từ dưới đất kêu thấu đến ta.
Florida ở đây ... một người mà giết một năm'13-old girl 'là vẫn còn trong kháng cáo. Hiện đã được lặp lại, ngay cả một kháng cáo của ... 'cruel và trừng phạt không bình thường' ... điện cho Chủ tịch. Lethal tiêm đã thay thế ... "ole Sparky" ... các điện Chủ tịch! Nhưng những gì về gia đình của các năm'13-old girl '? Ở đâu là công lý cho Họ? "Bị hoãn Tư pháp ... không phải là công lý tại tất cả!"
(Isaiah 26:21) Vì nầy, Đức Giê-hô-va từ nơi Ngài, đặng phạt dân cư trên đất vì tội ác họ. Bấy giờ đất sẽ tỏ bày huyết nó ra, và không che-đậy những kẻ đă bị giết nữa.
Có lẽ 'nhiều' đã được ... Desensitized của ... Tất cả các phần 'giết chết và murder' trong Video và đặc biệt là các "video game". Có lẽ, ngay cả của các ... "Luật pháp và đặt hàng" các chương trình trên TV và các 'liberal' spin trên tử hình đã thay đổi suy nghĩ của bạn? Có lẽ bạn ... 'Hãy suy nghĩ' ... một cách khác nhau về vấn đề này vốn trừng phạt? Lưu thông tin phần 'sót gia đình' là những người "Bất Victims of Injustice"! Đi một số thời gian và lại đọc blog này và nghĩ rằng vấn đề này thông qua?

The sense of this verse is… “You Shall NOT Murder… Innocent Life!” As in the example of Abortion. The Innocent Baby is ‘KILLED’… in his or her… mother’s womb. That Baby is Innocent! But… the adult that kills another… ‘Is Guilty!’

About now you… are about to say… ‘When are you going to discuss Capital Punishment?’ A complete discussion could not be taken with first listening to the ‘Nay-Sayers’ and what they have to say. I believe that has been covered by the above discussion.
There is a ground work… based in LAW… throughout the ‘ages and history’… that the murderer would always… forfeit ‘his or her’ Life. These LAWS may be found in each and every culture on every continent. Every society knows… that the murderer… “Must forfeit their life!” Without the… ‘LAW’… we are nothing more than a mob.
(Genesis 9:6) Whoever sheds man's blood, = his blood shall be shed by man; = for He made man in the image of God.
This principle is… ‘To Be’ carried out by the Legal System of that particular country. Many countries have left off from ‘God’s Standard’… and developed their ‘own standard’. Consequently people have no fear of death and do not hold life… ‘precious’. Humans will murder even… ‘children and teens’… and their families are without Justice. The murderer seems to be the only one with… ‘rights?’ Victims and their families… are without recourse!
(Genesis 4:8-9-10) And Cain talked with his brother Abel. And it happened when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him.
(Gen 4:9) And Jehovah GOD said unto Cain, Where is your brother Abel? And he said, I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?
(Gen 4:10) And He [GOD] said, What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries out to… Me [GOD] from the ground.
Here in Florida… a man that killed a ‘13-year old girl’ is still in appeal. There was even a repeat appeal of… ‘cruel and unusual punishment’… for the Electric Chair. Lethal injection has replaced… “Ole Sparky”… the Electric Chair! But what about the family of the ‘13-year old girl’? Where is the justice for Them? “Delayed Justice… is not justice at all!”
(Isaiah 26:21) For behold, Jehovah [GOD] comes out of His place to punish the people of the earth for their iniquity; the earth also shall reveal her blood, and shall no more cover her dead.
Perhaps ‘many’ have… been Desensitized by… All the ‘killing and murder’ in the Videos and especially the “Video Gaming”. Perhaps even by… the ‘Law and Order’ programs on TV and their ‘liberal’ spin on the Death Penalty has changed your thinking? Perhaps you… ‘Think’… differently about this Capital Punishment issue?
Remember the ‘Surviving Families’ …are the “Real Victims of Injustice”! Take some time and re-read this blog and… think this issue through?
Thank you for Your EAR! Roger //Email// roger459@gmail.com

"Todesstrafe - 101" Blog 01-29-2009 = Englisches = Deutsches = Vietnamesisch
Eine Heiße Kartoffel heute …, weil ich über ein umstrittenes Problem schreibe. Nicht in meiner Meinung … aber in den Meinungen von einigen Amerikanern, die durch die 'Nachrichtenmedien' einer Gehirnwäsche untergezogen worden sind. Ich glaube völlig an die Todesstrafe, weil Gott, der Gott der Bibel tut. Vielleicht kann ich mit Ihnen einige Gedanken über dieses Problem teilen?
"Alles, was = für den Triumph des Übels = notwendig ist, ist, dass gute Leute = Nichts Tun!"... Britischer Staatsmann, 'Edmund Burke'.
Heute wegen … die vielen gesetzlichen Herausforderungen des 'ACLU' … die amerikanische Vereinigung der Bürgerlichen Freiheiten., 'Gerechtigkeit nicht Ausgeführt wird!' Die Bitte nach der Bitte kann sich mit Herausforderungen seit Jahren in die Länge ziehen. Ein verurteilter Gefangener kann bis zu 14 Jahren für die Todesreihe ausgeben, eine oder mehr Personen ermordet. Erinnern Sie sich 'an Ted Bundy' und alle weiblichen Studentinnen einer gemischten Schule [35] er ermordete?
Verbrecher sind häufig … verurteilt zu nur 8 Jahren für den Mord und dann Bedingt entlassen? Stellen Sie sich vor, dass, Ihr 'Kind oder Verwandter' ermordet wird und der Verbrecher aussteigt? Meiste verurteilte Schwerverbrecher sind mehrmalige Übertreter, nur wieder zu töten. Jede Gesellschaft muss sich mit diesem Problem befassen, aber macht es 'gesunden Menschenverstand', um einem Mord zu erlauben, zu gehen und …-Mord wieder? Absolut NICHT!
Der Liberale, der … gegen die 'Todesstrafe' häufig protestiert, zitiert einen Bibelspruch, 'Sie' genommen vom Exodus 20:13 nicht Töten sollen. "Der Fehler, den sie" … machen, besteht darin, dass in der hebräischen Sprache … es 5-verschiedene Wörter für … gibt, 'Töten' … übersetzt ins Englische. Der Sinn dieses Verss ist … "Sie Sollen nicht … Unschuldiges Leben Ermorden!" Als im Beispiel der Abtreibung. Das Unschuldige Baby wird … in der Gebärmutter seiner oder ihrer … Mutter 'GETÖTET'. Dieses Baby ist Unschuldig! Aber … der Erwachsene, der einen anderen … 'tötet, Ist Schuldig!'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3LhS2io5lk
Über jetzt Sie haben … vor, … 'zu sagen, Wann sind Sie dabei, Todesstrafe zu besprechen?' Eine ganze Diskussion konnte nicht mit dem zuerst Zuhören 'Nein-Sayers' genommen werden, und was sie sagen müssen. Ich glaube, dass durch die obengenannte Diskussion bedeckt worden ist.
Es gibt ein Fundament … beruhend im GESETZ … überall in den 'Altern und Geschichte' …, dass der Mörder immer … würde, 'sein oder ihr' Leben zu verwirken. Diese GESETZE können in all und jeder Kultur auf jedem Kontinent gefunden werden. Jede Gesellschaft weiß …, dass der Mörder … "ihr Leben verwirken Muss!" Ohne das … 'GESETZ' … sind wir nichts anderes als eine Menge.
(Genesis 9:6) Wer Menschenblut vergießt, durch den Menschen soll sein Blut vergossen werden; denn im Bilde Gottes hat er den Menschen gemacht.
Dieser Grundsatz ist …, 'um durch das Gesetzliche System dieses besonderen Landes' ausgeführt Zu werden. Viele Länder haben vom Standard des 'Gottes' … aufgehört und ihren 'eigenen Standard' entwickelt. Folglich haben Leute keine Angst vor dem Tod und halten Leben … 'wertvoll' nicht. Menschen werden sogar … 'Kinder und der … von Teenageralter ermorden, und ihre Familien sind ohne Gerechtigkeit. Der Mörder scheint die nur ein mit …' Rechte zu sein? 'Opfer und ihre Familien … sind ohne Zuflucht!
(Genesis 4:8-9-10) Und Kain sprach zu seinem Bruder Abel; und es geschah, als sie auf dem Felde waren, da erhob sich Kain wider seinen Bruder Abel und erschlug ihn.
(Gen 4:9) Und Jahwe sprach zu Kain: Wo ist dein Bruder Abel? Und er sprach: Ich weiß nicht; bin ich meines Bruders Hüter?
(Gen 4:10) Und er sprach: Was hast du getan! Horch! Das Blut deines Bruders schreit zu mir vom Erdboden her.
Hier in Florida … ein Mann, der ein '13-jähriges altes Mädchen' tötete, ist noch in der Bitte. Es gab sogar eine mehrmalige Bitte von … 'grausame und ungewöhnliche Strafe' … für den Elektrischen Stuhl. Tödliche Einspritzung hat … "Ole Sparky" … der Elektrische Stuhl ersetzt! Aber wie steht's mit der Familie des '13-jährigen alten Mädchens'? Wo ist die Gerechtigkeit für Sie? "verspätete sich Gerechtigkeit ist … nicht Gerechtigkeit überhaupt!"
(Isaiah 26:21) Denn siehe, Jahwe tritt hervor aus seiner Stätte, um die Ungerechtigkeit der Bewohner der Erde an ihnen heimzusuchen; und die Erde enthüllt ihr Blut und bedeckt nicht länger ihre Ermordeten.
Vielleicht haben 'viele' … gewesen Desensibilisiert durch … die Ganze 'Tötung und Mord' in den Videos und besonders das "Videospielen". Vielleicht sogar durch … die Programme 'des Rechtes und Ordnung' im Fernsehen und ihrer 'liberalen' Drehung auf der Todesstrafe hat Ihr Denken geändert? Vielleicht 'Denken' Sie … … verschieden über dieses Todesstrafe-Problem? Erinnern Sie sich an die 'Überlebenden Familien, die die "Echten Opfer der Ungerechtigkeit" sind! Nehmen Sie eine Zeit und lesen Sie diesen blog nochmals und denken Sie dieses Problem zu Ende?

"Thủ đô phạt - 101" ... Blog ... 01/29/2009 Tiếng Anh = tiếng Đức = Việt Nam
Đáp nóng khoai tây hôm nay ... bởi vì tôi viết về một vấn đề. Không có trong tâm trí của tôi ... nhưng trong tâm của một số người Mỹ đã được brainwashed của 'tin tức truyền thông'. Tôi hoàn toàn tin tưởng ở Thủ đô phạt vì Thiên Chúa, Thiên Chúa của các Bible hiện. Có lẽ tôi có thể chia sẻ với bạn một vài suy nghĩ về vấn đề này?
"Tất cả những gì là cần thiết cho các triumph = xấu = là người tốt = làm Không có gì!" ... Anh Statesman, 'Edmund Burke'.
Hôm nay vì lý do ... nhiều thách thức pháp lý của các 'ACLU' ... American Civil Liberties Union., 'Tư pháp không được thực hiện! "Sau khi kháng cáo, phúc thẩm có thể kéo về với những thách thức trong nhiều năm qua. Đáp convicted prisoner có thể chi tiêu lên tới 14 năm về cái chết hàng, sau khi có murdered một hoặc nhiều người. Lưu thông tin 'Ted Bundy' và tất cả các phụ nữ coeds [35] ông murdered?
Bọn tội phạm thường ... bị để chỉ 8-năm và sau đó cho murder Paroled? Hãy tưởng tượng rằng, bạn 'con hay thân nhân' là murdered và tố tụng hình sự sẽ giảm? Hầu hết các keát aùn felons được lặp lại phạm tội, chỉ để diệt một lần nữa. Mỗi xã hội đã có để đối phó với vấn đề này, nhưng hiện nó làm cho 'thông thường' để cho phép một murder để đi lại và ... murder? Hoàn toàn không!
Các ... Những người kháng nghị những 'tử hình' thường xuyên báo giá một Bible thơ, 'Bạn sẽ không Kill' lấy từ Exodus 20:13. "Những lỗi lầm mà họ làm cho" ... là ngôn ngữ trong tiếng Do Thái ... có khác nhau từ 5-cho ... 'Kill' ... dịch sang tiếng Anh. Ý thức thơ này là ... "Bạn sẽ không Murder ... Innocent Life!" Như trong ví dụ của Abortion. Các Innocent Em bé là 'giết' ... trong mình ... d ¬ con của mẹ. Em bé đó là Innocent! Nhưng ... những người lớn mà kills khác ... "Có Guilty!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3LhS2io5lk
Thông tin về ... bây giờ bạn đang nói về ... "Khi nào thì bạn sẽ thảo luận về Thủ đô phạt? 'Một cuộc thảo luận hoàn toàn không thể được thực hiện với lần đầu tiên nghe đến' Nay-Sayers' và những gì họ cần phải nói. Tôi tin rằng đã được bảo hiểm của các cuộc thảo luận ở trên.
Có một căn làm việc ... có trụ sở tại Luật ... suốt 'lứa tuổi và lịch sử' ... rằng murderer sẽ luôn luôn ... mất 'của mình' Cuộc sống. Các văn bản pháp luật có thể được tìm thấy trong mỗi và tất cả các nền văn hóa trên mọi châu. Mỗi xã hội ... biết rằng murderer ... "Phải mất cuộc sống của họ!" Nếu không có sự ... 'Luật' ... chúng tôi là không có gì hơn một bao vây.
(Genesis 9:6) Hễ kẻ nào làm đổ máu người, thì sẽ bị người khác làm đổ máu lại; vì Đức Chúa Trời làm nên người như hình của Ngài.
Đây là nguyên tắc ... 'có' thực hiện bởi hệ thống pháp lý của những quốc gia cụ thể. Nhiều quốc gia có trái tắt từ 'tiêu chuẩn của Thiên Chúa' ... và phát triển của mình 'tiêu chuẩn của riêng'. Do vậy người dân không có lo sợ về cái chết và không có tổ chức cuộc sống ... 'quý'. Thậm chí cả con người sẽ murder ... 'trẻ em và thiếu niên' ... và gia đình của họ đang có mà không cần Tư pháp. Các murderer dường như chỉ duy nhất có một ... với các quyền của người? 'Victims và gia đình của họ mà không được ... recourse!
(Genesis 4:8-9-10) Ca-in thuật lại cùng A-bên là em mình. Vả, khi hai người đương ở ngoài đồng, thì Ca-in xông đến A-bên là em mình, và giết đi.
(Gen 4:9) Đức Giê-hô-va hỏi Ca-in rằng: A-bên, em ngươi, ở đâu? Thưa rằng: Tôi không biết; tôi là người giữ em tôi sao?
(Gen 4:10) Đức Giê-hô-va hỏi: Ngươi đă làm điều chi vậy? Tiếng của máu em ngươi từ dưới đất kêu thấu đến ta.
Florida ở đây ... một người mà giết một năm'13-old girl 'là vẫn còn trong kháng cáo. Hiện đã được lặp lại, ngay cả một kháng cáo của ... 'cruel và trừng phạt không bình thường' ... điện cho Chủ tịch. Lethal tiêm đã thay thế ... "ole Sparky" ... các điện Chủ tịch! Nhưng những gì về gia đình của các năm'13-old girl '? Ở đâu là công lý cho Họ? "Bị hoãn Tư pháp ... không phải là công lý tại tất cả!"
(Isaiah 26:21) Vì nầy, Đức Giê-hô-va từ nơi Ngài, đặng phạt dân cư trên đất vì tội ác họ. Bấy giờ đất sẽ tỏ bày huyết nó ra, và không che-đậy những kẻ đă bị giết nữa.
Có lẽ 'nhiều' đã được ... Desensitized của ... Tất cả các phần 'giết chết và murder' trong Video và đặc biệt là các "video game". Có lẽ, ngay cả của các ... "Luật pháp và đặt hàng" các chương trình trên TV và các 'liberal' spin trên tử hình đã thay đổi suy nghĩ của bạn? Có lẽ bạn ... 'Hãy suy nghĩ' ... một cách khác nhau về vấn đề này vốn trừng phạt? Lưu thông tin phần 'sót gia đình' là những người "Bất Victims of Injustice"! Đi một số thời gian và lại đọc blog này và nghĩ rằng vấn đề này thông qua?

“Is Jesus God? – 101” [Trinity Discussion Also]
“Is Jesus God? – 101” [Trinity Discussion Also]
I thought that… I might also discuss the doctrine of… “The One God / Trinity”… confusion also. This will be for ‘your’ help in understanding what “The Scriptures Say” and ‘Not’ my opinion. You will have to bear with me… as I will use Scripture… as my point of reference. No matter what any church or denomination… God has the final word!
Perhaps the main issue… is the Deity of Jesus? Is Jesus Christ, God? Did He ever ‘claim to be God? Do the scripture call Him… God at any were or place? To do this we will cover some Old Testament [OT] verses and some New Testament [NT] verses.
Simply take your Bible... and check them out for yourself. Do not believe me... Believe God’s Word... The Bible!
To do this… we must first determine if there is… One God, or Three God[s]. By one God, I mean by His Nature, Power, Holiness, Truth and the many other Godly Attributes that HE Alone has. If I were to reference every verse, I would write a book. This is only a 'topical study', giving you 'base verses'… to build on.
· (Deuteronomy 6:4) Hear, O, Israel. = Jehovah our God = is one Jehovah.
· (Isaiah 45:21) Declare and bring near; yea, let them take counsel together. Who has declared this of old? Who has told it from then? = Is it not I, Jehovah? And there is = no other God = besides Me; = a just God and a Savior; = there is none = besides Me.
· (Mark 12:29) And Jesus answered him, = The first of all the commandments is, "Hear, O Israel, = the Lord our God = is one Lord;
· (James 2:19) You believe that there is = one God. = That's fine! Even the demons = believe that = and tremble with fear.
Ok, we have… determined from Scripture that God says… “He is One God, and beside Him, there is No Other GOD!” This puts things in the Correct Perspective, ‘There is Only One God!’ That is the God of the Bible! Not Allah or Buddha or Krishna or some other deity named God. Jehovah is the Name God chooses to call Himself. He alone is God!
How about Worship? Are we commanded in the Scriptures… To Worship Only Jehovah God? Or is it all right to ‘worship’ someone else. You know like Saints or even Mary the mother of Jesus? …Absolutely NOT! Oh yes, praying to them… is a form of Worship!
· (Exodus 34:14) For you shall worship = no other god. = For Jehovah, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God;
· (Mark 12:29-30) And Jesus answered him, = The first of all the commandments is, = "Hear, O Israel, = the Lord our God = is one Lord;
· (Mark 12:30) and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength." This is the first commandment.
· (Luke 4:6-7-8) And the Devil said to Him, = All this power I will give You and the glory of them; = for it has been delivered to me. = And I give it to whomever = I will.
· (Luke 4:7) Therefore = if = You will worship me, = all shall be yours.
· (Luke 4:8) And Jesus = answered and said to him, = Get behind me, Satan! = For it is written, = "You shall = worship = the Lord your God, = and Him only shall you serve."
· (Revelation 19:10) And I fell at his feet = to worship him. = And he said to me, = See, do not do it! = I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers who have the testimony of Jesus. = Worship God, = for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
From these verses… we may see that Jehovah is God and that Only He is to Be Worshiped. Even when Jesus confronted the Devil… Jesus said to Satan, “Worship Only God!” Ok, how about it, are we aloud to worship anyone but God? Absolutely Not! Even John, the author of The Book of Revelation, who spoke to the angel in the above verse was told, ‘Worship God!’
Now to see… if Jesus was worshipped and what was His response. Remember, Jesus told Satan… “Only God is to be Worshipped!” Fist let us look at the Angelic realm. Remember, “Only God is to be Worshipped!” Simply follow the text and see what it says?
· (Hebrews 1:6-to-9) And again, = when He [GOD] = brings His [GOD’S] firstborn [JESUS] = into the world, = He [GOD] says, = "Let all God's angels = worship Him [JESUS]."
· (Heb 1:7) Now about the angels he says, "He makes His angels winds, and His servant’s flames of fire."
· (Heb 1:8) But about the Son [JESUS] = He [GOD] says, = "Your throne, = O God, = is forever and ever, and the scepter of Your kingdom is a righteous scepter.
· (Heb 1:9) You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. That is why = God, = your God, = anointed you rather than your companions with the oil of gladness."
God tells All… the Angels of Creation to… Worship Jesus! Then He say says, ‘Your [speaking to Jesus] Throne, O God… is forever and ever! Here is where the Text tells us the Truth we need to know! God either violated His Word, [i.e.] Worship Only God… or… “Jesus is God!”
Was Jesus also... worshipped by Mankind? IF… He was Not God… THEN… He should have Rebuked that person the way He did to Satan in Luke 4. "Jesus was Worshipped as God!"
· (Matthew 8:2-3) And behold, a leper came and = worshiped = him, saying, Lord, if You will, You can make me clean.
· (Matt 8:3) And Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, I will; be clean! And immediately his leprosy was cleansed Is Jesus called… God anywhere else?
Let me ask you... “When was God Born?” I though God is Eternal, without Beginning or Ending? He is, so how then can a ‘baby’… be called, “GOD?”
· (Isaiah 9:6-7) For to us = a Child = is born, to us a Son is given; and the government shall be on His shoulder; and = His name shall be called = Wonderful, = Counselor, = The Mighty God, = The everlasting Father, = The Prince of Peace.
· (Isaiah 9:7) There is no end of the increase of His government and peace on the throne of David, and on His kingdom, to order it and to establish it with judgment and with justice from now on, even forever. The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts will do this.
· (Matthew 1:23) Behold, a virgin = shall be with child, = and shall bring forth = a son, = and they shall call his name = Emmanuel, = which being interpreted is, = God with us.
How about… Raising the Dead? Who but God… can Raise the Dead? Jesus raised the widow’s son at Nain and… of course Lazarus. You know the story but here it is! Only God can raise the Dead!
· (Luke 7:14-15-16) And He [Jesus] came and touched the bier: = and they that bare him stood still. = And He said, = Young man, = I say unto thee, = Arise.
· (Luke 7:15) And he that was dead sat up, = and began to speak. = And He delivered him to his mother.
· (Luke 7:16) And there came a fear on all: = and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That = God = hath visited his people.
· (John 11:43) And when He [Jesus] thus had spoken, He cried with a loud voice, = Lazarus, come forth.
· (Acts 26:6-7-8) And now I stand and am judged = for the hope of the promise = made of God unto our fathers:
· (Acts 26:7) Unto which promise our twelve tribes, = instantly serving God day and night, = hope to come. For which hope's sake, King Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.
· (Acts 26:8) Why should it be thought = a thing incredible with you, = that God = should raise the dead?
IF only God… can raise the Dead…Who then… “Raised the Body of Jesus?”… These verses show that “GOD Raised up Jesus!” Yes, God did raise Jesus, will You Agree? But of course the Scripture says SO!
· (Acts 2:32) God raised up this Jesus, of which we all are witnesses.
· (Acts 10:40) but God raised Him up the third day and showed Him openly,
· (Acts 13:33) this God = has fulfilled = to us their children, = raising up Jesus, = as also it is written = in the second Psalm, = "You are My Son, this day I have begotten You."
But did you Know… That JESUS said... “He Raised… His Own Body?” Yes, Only God can Raise the Dead, and God Raised Jesus… and Jesus raised up Jesus = Jesus is God!
You do… believe the Scriptures… don’t You? Destroy this temple [my body] and in three days = I [Jesus] will raise it Up!
· (John 2:18-to-22) Then the Jews answered and said to Him, What sign do you show us, since you do these things?
· (John 2:19) Jesus answered and said to them, = Destroy this temple = and in three days = I will raise it up.
· (John 2:20) Then the Jews said, This temple was forty-six years building, and will = you = rear it up in three days?
· (John 2:21) But He spoke = of the temple = of His body.
· (John 2:22) Therefore = when = He had risen = from the dead, = His disciples = remembered = that He had said this to them, = and they believed the Scripture = and the Word = which Jesus had said.
Ok, so we have… covered this so much, but is there… “Any Place”… that Jesus directly claimed to Be God? How about His own testimony? The Jews took up stones to… ‘Stone Jesus’… then they must have… Understood that Jesus claimed… to be God! Jesus said He is the, “I AM.”
· (John 8:57-58-59) Then the Jews said to him, "You are not even fifty years old, yet you have seen Abraham?"
· (John 8:58) Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly I tell you, before there was an Abraham, = I AM!"
· (John 8:59) At this, they picked up stones to throw at him, = but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.
· (Exodus 3:13-14-15) And Moses said to God, = Behold, when I come to the sons of Israel, and shall say to them, = The God of your fathers has sent me to you, = and they shall say to me, = What is His name? = What shall I say to them?
· (Exo 3:14) And God said to Moses, = I AM = THAT = I AM. = And He said, = So you shall say to the sons of Israel, = I AM = has sent me to you.
· (Exo 3:15) And God = said to Moses again, = You shall say this = to the sons of Israel, = Jehovah the God = of your fathers, = the God of Abraham, = the God of Isaac, = and the God of Jacob, = has sent me to you. = This is My name forever, = and this is My title = from generation to generation.
Ok up to… this point your head is really spinning! Mine was too, when I first realized what the Scripture Teaches! Jesus is God; Jesus is the Son of God. Simple yet profound. Simply put… “It is written!”… There is even one cult, which ‘wrongly’ teaches their members, “You can’t believe it…unless you understand it!” Phooey!
I thought that… ‘Rather silly!’ How many of us understand, “Computer Architecture for the System Processor Chip?” Yet we use our computers daily, without a second thought! You use the Automatic Transmission in your car without knowing or understanding “Fluid Hydraulic Dynamics!” And do not allow me to forget the “Microwave?” How about...Radar Microwave Technology? Do you understand it?
Ok you say… It is as simple as Believing God! Yes, that is why the Scriptures say… “It is Written or It was written = simply quoting a previous scripture. Faith, given by the Holy Spirit to those… Truly Born Again… will give on the Assurance of Salvation… and… The Validation of the Word of God! How do I know? It is written…
· (1Corinthians 2:14-15-16) But the = natural man = does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are = foolishness = to him; = neither can he know them, = because they are spiritually discerned.
· (1Cor 2:15) But he who is spiritual = judges all things, =yet he himself is judged by no one.
· (1Cor 2:16) For who has known = the mind of the Lord, = that he may instruct Him? = But we have = the mind of Christ.
Once the Holy Spirit… takes up "permanent residence" in the Believer, that person is “Sealed for Eternity!” It is the Holy Spirit that opens our Understanding to… The Scriptures!
It is like a… “Light” being turned on, in a dark room! I can remember the first time it happened to me. It was like… all of a sudden… ‘My faith in God and my belief in His Word, The Bible’… Came Alive!
· (Ephesians 1:12-13-14) so that we = who had already fixed = our hope on Christ = might live for = His praise and glory.
· (Eph 1:13) You, too, = have heard = The Word of Truth, = the gospel of your salvation. = When you believed = in Him [Jesus] = you were sealed = with the promised = Holy Spirit,
· (Eph 1:14) Who = is the guarantee = of our inheritance = until the redemption = of God's own possession, = to His praise and glory.
· (John 16:13-14-15) Yet when = the Spirit of Truth comes, = He = will guide you into = all Truth. = For he will not speak on His own accord, = but will speak = whatever He hears = and will declare = to you = the things that are to come.
· (John 16:14) He = will glorify Me [Jesus], = for He = will take = what is Mine = and declare it = to you.
· (John 16:15) All = that the Father has = is Mine. = That is why I said, = 'He will take what is Mine = and declare it to you.'
· (1John 2:27) The Anointing [Holy Spirit] = you received from Him [God] = abides in you, = and you do not need anyone to teach you. = Instead, = because = His Anointing = teaches you about everything = and is True = and not a lie, = abide in Him, = as He taught you to do.
Now is the time… to give you even more! The Holy Spirit is also called… “God!” Jesus raised His Own Body… God raided up the Body of Jesus… and… The Holy Spirit raised up Jesus!
· (John 7:38-39) The one who believes in me, = as the Scripture has said, = will have rivers = of living water = flowing from his heart."
· (John 7:39) Now he said this about = the Spirit, = whom those = who were believing in Him [Jesus] = were to receive. = For the Spirit = was not yet present, = because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
· (Romans 8:10-11) But if Christ is in you, your bodies are dead because of sin, = but the Spirit is life = because of righteousness.
· (Rom 8:11) And if = the Spirit = of the one = = who raised Jesus from the dead = = is living in you, = then the one = who raised Christ from the dead = will also make your mortal bodies = alive = by His Spirit = Who lives in you.
· (Acts 5:3-4) Peter asked, = "Ananias, = why has Satan filled your heart = so that you should lie = = to the Holy Spirit = = and keep back some of the money = you got for the land?
· (Acts 5:4) As long as it remained unsold, = wasn't it your own? = And after it was sold, = wasn't the money at your disposal? = So how could you have conceived = such a thing in your heart? = You did not = = lie to men = = but to God!"
The Holy Spirit… Called God… ‘Raised up the Body of Jesus!”
1. Jesus raised His Body… = = John 2:18-to-22.
2. God raised the Body of Jesus… = = Acts 13:33.
3. Holy Spirit raised the Body of Jesus. = = Romans 8:10-11.
Now... to the issue some call the… “The Trinity?” This is a ‘misnomer’ stated by one of the Pseudo Christian sects. There are "NOT"… three Gods... in 'One!'
There is Only… “ONE God!” The confusion comes about… due to ‘Religion defining God’… “Who cannot be defined!” The God of the Bible… says this about Himself and His Word!
· (Isaiah 55:6-to-11) Seek Jehovah = while = He may be found; = call on Him = while He is near.
· (Isa 55:7) Let the wicked = forsake his way, = and the unrighteous man = his thoughts; = and let him return to Jehovah, = and He = will have mercy on him; = and to our God, = for He will abundantly pardon.
· (Isa 55:8) For = My thoughts = = are not your thoughts, = nor your ways = = My ways, = says Jehovah.

In each of… the four Gospels Jesus was Baptized, God the Father Spoke and the Holy Spirit was present in the form of a Dove. Jesus the God Man, God the Father and the Holy Spirit God! At one time in place and before witnesses… GOD… The ONE GOD… Revealed Himself to Mankind! Still and Yet… Only One GOD! Perhaps MORE… about Jesus being God?
· (Colossians 1:13-14-15) For He has = delivered us = from the power of darkness = and has translated us = into the kingdom of His dear Son;
· (Col 1:14) In Whom [Jesus] = we have redemption = through His blood, = the remission of sins.
· (Col 1:15) = = Who = = is the image = = of the invisible God, = the First-born = of all creation.
When did God Die?... There is a person in the Scriptures called the First and the Last! Only ONE First and Only ONE Last! Who is this person, called the First and the Last, and when did He Die? He Jesus, Died for Us. The God Man… Fully God… and Fully Man!
· (Isaiah 41:4) Who has planned and done it, calling forth the generations from the beginning? = I, = Jehovah, = am the first = and the last; = I am He.
· (Revelation 1:17-18) And when I saw Him, = I fell at His feet as dead. = And He laid His right hand upon me, = saying to me, = = Do not fear, = = I am the First = and the Last,
· (Rev 1:18) And the Living One, = = and I became dead, = = and behold, I am alive = = forever and ever, = Amen. = And I have the keys of hell and of death.
Wow… Did you ever see those Verses Before! The First and the Last was… Dead… and NOW is Alive… Forever and Ever! Amen! Surely if this is true… then there must be an OT Scripture where someone saw GOD? Of course we all know about Moses seeing God as He passed by, and Moses hid in the cleft of the Rock. Exodus 33:17-to-23! But that was Moses alone? How about 'Other Witnesses'?
· (Exodus 24:9-to-13) And Moses went up, = and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, = and seventy of the elders of Israel.

· (Exo 24:13) And Moses rose up, = and his attendant Joshua. = And Moses went up into the mountain of God.
Ok?... It may take YOU several times of going over these Scriptures. I know it did me before I began to understand. First may I say… before YOU study Scripture, “Ask God to prepare your Heart?” Only with a… “Prepared Heart”… can you begin to… Understand The Word of God!
· (2Chronicles 12:14) And he did the evil = because he did not = prepare his heart = to seek Jehovah.
· (Psalms 119:18) Open my eyes, = so that I may behold = wonderful things = out of Your Law.

End...!
- (John 17:17) Sanctify them = through Your Truth. = Your Word is Truth.
- (Numbers 23:19) God is not a man = that He should lie, = neither the son of man = that He should repent. = Has He said, = and shall He not do it? = Or has He spoken, = and shall He not make it good?
I thought that… I might also discuss the doctrine of… “The One God / Trinity”… confusion also. This will be for ‘your’ help in understanding what “The Scriptures Say” and ‘Not’ my opinion. You will have to bear with me… as I will use Scripture… as my point of reference. No matter what any church or denomination… God has the final word!
Perhaps the main issue… is the Deity of Jesus? Is Jesus Christ, God? Did He ever ‘claim to be God? Do the scripture call Him… God at any were or place? To do this we will cover some Old Testament [OT] verses and some New Testament [NT] verses.
Simply take your Bible... and check them out for yourself. Do not believe me... Believe God’s Word... The Bible!
To do this… we must first determine if there is… One God, or Three God[s]. By one God, I mean by His Nature, Power, Holiness, Truth and the many other Godly Attributes that HE Alone has. If I were to reference every verse, I would write a book. This is only a 'topical study', giving you 'base verses'… to build on.
· (Deuteronomy 6:4) Hear, O, Israel. = Jehovah our God = is one Jehovah.
· (Isaiah 45:21) Declare and bring near; yea, let them take counsel together. Who has declared this of old? Who has told it from then? = Is it not I, Jehovah? And there is = no other God = besides Me; = a just God and a Savior; = there is none = besides Me.
· (Mark 12:29) And Jesus answered him, = The first of all the commandments is, "Hear, O Israel, = the Lord our God = is one Lord;
· (James 2:19) You believe that there is = one God. = That's fine! Even the demons = believe that = and tremble with fear.
Ok, we have… determined from Scripture that God says… “He is One God, and beside Him, there is No Other GOD!” This puts things in the Correct Perspective, ‘There is Only One God!’ That is the God of the Bible! Not Allah or Buddha or Krishna or some other deity named God. Jehovah is the Name God chooses to call Himself. He alone is God!
How about Worship? Are we commanded in the Scriptures… To Worship Only Jehovah God? Or is it all right to ‘worship’ someone else. You know like Saints or even Mary the mother of Jesus? …Absolutely NOT! Oh yes, praying to them… is a form of Worship!
· (Exodus 34:14) For you shall worship = no other god. = For Jehovah, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God;
· (Mark 12:29-30) And Jesus answered him, = The first of all the commandments is, = "Hear, O Israel, = the Lord our God = is one Lord;
· (Mark 12:30) and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength." This is the first commandment.
· (Luke 4:6-7-8) And the Devil said to Him, = All this power I will give You and the glory of them; = for it has been delivered to me. = And I give it to whomever = I will.
· (Luke 4:7) Therefore = if = You will worship me, = all shall be yours.
· (Luke 4:8) And Jesus = answered and said to him, = Get behind me, Satan! = For it is written, = "You shall = worship = the Lord your God, = and Him only shall you serve."
· (Revelation 19:10) And I fell at his feet = to worship him. = And he said to me, = See, do not do it! = I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers who have the testimony of Jesus. = Worship God, = for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
From these verses… we may see that Jehovah is God and that Only He is to Be Worshiped. Even when Jesus confronted the Devil… Jesus said to Satan, “Worship Only God!” Ok, how about it, are we aloud to worship anyone but God? Absolutely Not! Even John, the author of The Book of Revelation, who spoke to the angel in the above verse was told, ‘Worship God!’
Now to see… if Jesus was worshipped and what was His response. Remember, Jesus told Satan… “Only God is to be Worshipped!” Fist let us look at the Angelic realm. Remember, “Only God is to be Worshipped!” Simply follow the text and see what it says?
· (Hebrews 1:6-to-9) And again, = when He [GOD] = brings His [GOD’S] firstborn [JESUS] = into the world, = He [GOD] says, = "Let all God's angels = worship Him [JESUS]."
· (Heb 1:7) Now about the angels he says, "He makes His angels winds, and His servant’s flames of fire."
· (Heb 1:8) But about the Son [JESUS] = He [GOD] says, = "Your throne, = O God, = is forever and ever, and the scepter of Your kingdom is a righteous scepter.
· (Heb 1:9) You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. That is why = God, = your God, = anointed you rather than your companions with the oil of gladness."
God tells All… the Angels of Creation to… Worship Jesus! Then He say says, ‘Your [speaking to Jesus] Throne, O God… is forever and ever! Here is where the Text tells us the Truth we need to know! God either violated His Word, [i.e.] Worship Only God… or… “Jesus is God!”
Was Jesus also... worshipped by Mankind? IF… He was Not God… THEN… He should have Rebuked that person the way He did to Satan in Luke 4. "Jesus was Worshipped as God!"
· (Matthew 8:2-3) And behold, a leper came and = worshiped = him, saying, Lord, if You will, You can make me clean.
· (Matt 8:3) And Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, I will; be clean! And immediately his leprosy was cleansed Is Jesus called… God anywhere else?
Let me ask you... “When was God Born?” I though God is Eternal, without Beginning or Ending? He is, so how then can a ‘baby’… be called, “GOD?”
· (Isaiah 9:6-7) For to us = a Child = is born, to us a Son is given; and the government shall be on His shoulder; and = His name shall be called = Wonderful, = Counselor, = The Mighty God, = The everlasting Father, = The Prince of Peace.
· (Isaiah 9:7) There is no end of the increase of His government and peace on the throne of David, and on His kingdom, to order it and to establish it with judgment and with justice from now on, even forever. The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts will do this.
· (Matthew 1:23) Behold, a virgin = shall be with child, = and shall bring forth = a son, = and they shall call his name = Emmanuel, = which being interpreted is, = God with us.
How about… Raising the Dead? Who but God… can Raise the Dead? Jesus raised the widow’s son at Nain and… of course Lazarus. You know the story but here it is! Only God can raise the Dead!
· (Luke 7:14-15-16) And He [Jesus] came and touched the bier: = and they that bare him stood still. = And He said, = Young man, = I say unto thee, = Arise.
· (Luke 7:15) And he that was dead sat up, = and began to speak. = And He delivered him to his mother.
· (Luke 7:16) And there came a fear on all: = and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That = God = hath visited his people.
· (John 11:43) And when He [Jesus] thus had spoken, He cried with a loud voice, = Lazarus, come forth.
· (Acts 26:6-7-8) And now I stand and am judged = for the hope of the promise = made of God unto our fathers:
· (Acts 26:7) Unto which promise our twelve tribes, = instantly serving God day and night, = hope to come. For which hope's sake, King Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.
· (Acts 26:8) Why should it be thought = a thing incredible with you, = that God = should raise the dead?
IF only God… can raise the Dead…Who then… “Raised the Body of Jesus?”… These verses show that “GOD Raised up Jesus!” Yes, God did raise Jesus, will You Agree? But of course the Scripture says SO!
· (Acts 2:32) God raised up this Jesus, of which we all are witnesses.
· (Acts 10:40) but God raised Him up the third day and showed Him openly,
· (Acts 13:33) this God = has fulfilled = to us their children, = raising up Jesus, = as also it is written = in the second Psalm, = "You are My Son, this day I have begotten You."
But did you Know… That JESUS said... “He Raised… His Own Body?” Yes, Only God can Raise the Dead, and God Raised Jesus… and Jesus raised up Jesus = Jesus is God!
You do… believe the Scriptures… don’t You? Destroy this temple [my body] and in three days = I [Jesus] will raise it Up!
· (John 2:18-to-22) Then the Jews answered and said to Him, What sign do you show us, since you do these things?
· (John 2:19) Jesus answered and said to them, = Destroy this temple = and in three days = I will raise it up.
· (John 2:20) Then the Jews said, This temple was forty-six years building, and will = you = rear it up in three days?
· (John 2:21) But He spoke = of the temple = of His body.
· (John 2:22) Therefore = when = He had risen = from the dead, = His disciples = remembered = that He had said this to them, = and they believed the Scripture = and the Word = which Jesus had said.
Ok, so we have… covered this so much, but is there… “Any Place”… that Jesus directly claimed to Be God? How about His own testimony? The Jews took up stones to… ‘Stone Jesus’… then they must have… Understood that Jesus claimed… to be God! Jesus said He is the, “I AM.”
· (John 8:57-58-59) Then the Jews said to him, "You are not even fifty years old, yet you have seen Abraham?"
· (John 8:58) Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly I tell you, before there was an Abraham, = I AM!"
· (John 8:59) At this, they picked up stones to throw at him, = but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.
· (Exodus 3:13-14-15) And Moses said to God, = Behold, when I come to the sons of Israel, and shall say to them, = The God of your fathers has sent me to you, = and they shall say to me, = What is His name? = What shall I say to them?
· (Exo 3:14) And God said to Moses, = I AM = THAT = I AM. = And He said, = So you shall say to the sons of Israel, = I AM = has sent me to you.
· (Exo 3:15) And God = said to Moses again, = You shall say this = to the sons of Israel, = Jehovah the God = of your fathers, = the God of Abraham, = the God of Isaac, = and the God of Jacob, = has sent me to you. = This is My name forever, = and this is My title = from generation to generation.
Ok up to… this point your head is really spinning! Mine was too, when I first realized what the Scripture Teaches! Jesus is God; Jesus is the Son of God. Simple yet profound. Simply put… “It is written!”… There is even one cult, which ‘wrongly’ teaches their members, “You can’t believe it…unless you understand it!” Phooey!
I thought that… ‘Rather silly!’ How many of us understand, “Computer Architecture for the System Processor Chip?” Yet we use our computers daily, without a second thought! You use the Automatic Transmission in your car without knowing or understanding “Fluid Hydraulic Dynamics!” And do not allow me to forget the “Microwave?” How about...Radar Microwave Technology? Do you understand it?
Ok you say… It is as simple as Believing God! Yes, that is why the Scriptures say… “It is Written or It was written = simply quoting a previous scripture. Faith, given by the Holy Spirit to those… Truly Born Again… will give on the Assurance of Salvation… and… The Validation of the Word of God! How do I know? It is written…
· (1Corinthians 2:14-15-16) But the = natural man = does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are = foolishness = to him; = neither can he know them, = because they are spiritually discerned.
· (1Cor 2:15) But he who is spiritual = judges all things, =yet he himself is judged by no one.
· (1Cor 2:16) For who has known = the mind of the Lord, = that he may instruct Him? = But we have = the mind of Christ.
Once the Holy Spirit… takes up "permanent residence" in the Believer, that person is “Sealed for Eternity!” It is the Holy Spirit that opens our Understanding to… The Scriptures!
It is like a… “Light” being turned on, in a dark room! I can remember the first time it happened to me. It was like… all of a sudden… ‘My faith in God and my belief in His Word, The Bible’… Came Alive!
· (Ephesians 1:12-13-14) so that we = who had already fixed = our hope on Christ = might live for = His praise and glory.
· (Eph 1:13) You, too, = have heard = The Word of Truth, = the gospel of your salvation. = When you believed = in Him [Jesus] = you were sealed = with the promised = Holy Spirit,
· (Eph 1:14) Who = is the guarantee = of our inheritance = until the redemption = of God's own possession, = to His praise and glory.
· (John 16:13-14-15) Yet when = the Spirit of Truth comes, = He = will guide you into = all Truth. = For he will not speak on His own accord, = but will speak = whatever He hears = and will declare = to you = the things that are to come.
· (John 16:14) He = will glorify Me [Jesus], = for He = will take = what is Mine = and declare it = to you.
· (John 16:15) All = that the Father has = is Mine. = That is why I said, = 'He will take what is Mine = and declare it to you.'
· (1John 2:27) The Anointing [Holy Spirit] = you received from Him [God] = abides in you, = and you do not need anyone to teach you. = Instead, = because = His Anointing = teaches you about everything = and is True = and not a lie, = abide in Him, = as He taught you to do.
Now is the time… to give you even more! The Holy Spirit is also called… “God!” Jesus raised His Own Body… God raided up the Body of Jesus… and… The Holy Spirit raised up Jesus!
· (John 7:38-39) The one who believes in me, = as the Scripture has said, = will have rivers = of living water = flowing from his heart."
· (John 7:39) Now he said this about = the Spirit, = whom those = who were believing in Him [Jesus] = were to receive. = For the Spirit = was not yet present, = because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
· (Romans 8:10-11) But if Christ is in you, your bodies are dead because of sin, = but the Spirit is life = because of righteousness.
· (Rom 8:11) And if = the Spirit = of the one = = who raised Jesus from the dead = = is living in you, = then the one = who raised Christ from the dead = will also make your mortal bodies = alive = by His Spirit = Who lives in you.
· (Acts 5:3-4) Peter asked, = "Ananias, = why has Satan filled your heart = so that you should lie = = to the Holy Spirit = = and keep back some of the money = you got for the land?
· (Acts 5:4) As long as it remained unsold, = wasn't it your own? = And after it was sold, = wasn't the money at your disposal? = So how could you have conceived = such a thing in your heart? = You did not = = lie to men = = but to God!"
The Holy Spirit… Called God… ‘Raised up the Body of Jesus!”
1. Jesus raised His Body… = = John 2:18-to-22.
2. God raised the Body of Jesus… = = Acts 13:33.
3. Holy Spirit raised the Body of Jesus. = = Romans 8:10-11.
Now... to the issue some call the… “The Trinity?” This is a ‘misnomer’ stated by one of the Pseudo Christian sects. There are "NOT"… three Gods... in 'One!'
There is Only… “ONE God!” The confusion comes about… due to ‘Religion defining God’… “Who cannot be defined!” The God of the Bible… says this about Himself and His Word!
· (Isaiah 55:6-to-11) Seek Jehovah = while = He may be found; = call on Him = while He is near.
· (Isa 55:7) Let the wicked = forsake his way, = and the unrighteous man = his thoughts; = and let him return to Jehovah, = and He = will have mercy on him; = and to our God, = for He will abundantly pardon.
· (Isa 55:8) For = My thoughts = = are not your thoughts, = nor your ways = = My ways, = says Jehovah.
· (Isa 55:9) For = as the heavens are higher than the earth, = so are = My ways = higher = than your ways, = = and My thoughts = than your thoughts.
· (Isa 55:10) For as the rain comes down, = and the snow from the heavens, = and does not return there, = but waters the earth, = and makes it bring out and bud, = and give seed to the sower = and bread to the eater;
· (Isa 55:11) so shall = = My Word be, = = which goes out of My mouth; = = it shall not return to Me void, = = but it shall accomplish what I please, = = and it shall certainly do = = what I sent it to do.
- (Philippians 2:5-to-9) For let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,
(Php 2:6) who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God,
(Php 2:7) but made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Himself the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men.
(Php 2:8) And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
(Php 2:9) Therefore God has highly exalted Him, and has given Him a name which is above every name,
Definition: In the Essence of the God of the Bible, = He sometimes reveals Himself = to His Creation = in three separate personages, = each called God, = and yet there is Only = ONE… “GOD!” = As we are temporal beings and… = ‘He is Eternal’… = He has revealed Himself… to Us… Through His Completed Word, = The Bible!
· (Matthew 3:16-17) And Jesus, when He had been baptized, went up immediately out of the water. And lo, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting upon Him.
· (Matt 3:17) And lo, a voice from Heaven, saying, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
