“The ‘Next’ Blog – 101”…Blog.
Do you have something to ‘Say’…? No, I don’t mean babble, but something of importance, to say? Or perhaps you have a ‘strong opinion’ on a particular subject or ‘subjects’. If you, have been reading my blogs, you know that I do. ‘Some’ that read them, “complain” that they are too long. Just perhaps, they have discarded their ‘mental skills’ and replace them with… the hour ‘TV’ program or even a longer ‘Video’? ‘Some’ simply disagree with them… without any… ‘Cognitive or Logical’… “Response”. Still, ‘Some’ just believe ‘anything’ at all. You know like… ‘Santa Clause’, the ‘Easter Bunny’ or… even… the “Cleveland Indians”…! …LOL!
(1Thessalonians 5:21) Prove = ‘all’ = things, = hold fast = to the good.
So just why… did I choose this topic? Today, one of my ‘good friends’ sent message on Face Book and asked when… was my ‘next’ blog? I remarked that I try to post when I have something responsible or pertinent to say. I try not to be… ‘Vain or Self Diluted’… in thinking that I have… ‘all’ the answers. I simply present, what I write… simply to get others… “To Think ‘Things’ Through!” IF you text [which I do not]… that would be… “TTTT” or “4T”…! …LOL!
(John 17:17) Sanctify them = through Your = Truth. = Your = Word = is Truth.
You may have seen me… use the term, “God, the God of the Bible!” That is because ‘Many’ speak about God, but it is the God of their Religion. This does not necessarily mean, “The God of the Bible”… even their religion is called, “Christian?” Many of the Christian Sects or Denominations are just… “Man’s Opinion”… about the God of the Bible. The do “NOT”… hold to the “Complete Authority” of the Scriptures, The Bible. Islam speaks about God and Jesus… and yet… it is NOT the God of the Bible.

(1Corinthains 2:12-to-16) But we = have ‘not’ = received the spirit = of the world, = but = the Spirit from God [Holy Spirit], = so that = ‘we’ might = “know the things” = that are = freely given = to us = by God. [John 16:13-14-15]
(1Cor 2:13) These things = we also speak, = not in words = which man's wisdom teaches, = but = which = the Holy Spirit teaches, = ‘comparing’ spiritual things = with spiritual. [Acts 17:11 & Isaiah 8:20]
(1Cor 2:14) But the = natural man [Not Born Again] = 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.
When I write Blogs… I am in reality ‘teaching’ or ‘sharing’… what I have learned by life and by the Word of God. Sorry no, I am not a pastor or a teacher, but one that… “Loves Christ Jesus, the Messiah”… and want you to know Him too. No one can ‘really’ love Him without trying, by His Grace, to point Others to Him, for the Eternal Salvation of their souls. Do you know what Jesus said about this issue…? If you Jesus is not called…Jesus the Messiah… he is ‘NOT’ the Jesus of the Bible! That is why ‘Christ’… means “Messiah – the promised Redeemer of God!”
(1Corinthians 5:7) Therefore = purge out = the old leaven [life] = so that = you = may be = a new lump [creations], = as you are unleavened. = For also = “Christ our Passover” = is sacrificed = for us.
(John 10:15-16-17) Even as = the Father [God – Jehovah] = knows Me [Christ Jesus], = I also = know = the Father. = And = I lay down = My life = for the ‘sheep’.
(John 10:16) And = I have = “OTHER - SHEEP” = who = are ‘not’ = of this fold. = I must also = lead those, = and = they shall ‘hear’ = My voice [Word], = and = there shall be = [only] one flock, = one Shepherd.
(John 10:17) Therefore = My Father = loves Me, = because = I lay down = “My life” = so that = I = might take it again.
Before I came to “Christ Jesus”… I was one of those… ‘Other Sheep’. I did 'not' belong to Him, for I had exercised my ‘Free Will’ and chose ‘to go’, my own way. So too it is and has been for all of ‘Mankind’. This salvation through the… “Finished Work of Christ Jesus the Messiah”… is presented “To All”… peoples, kindred’s and nations. God, Who is faithful and just and righteous could ‘NOT’ provide this… “To just ‘some’ and ‘not’ to Others.” He has revealed Himself in many ways but first and foremost by… “His Holy Spirit”.
(Romans 2:14-15) For when the nations, = who do ‘not’ = have the Law, = do by nature = the things of the Law, = these, = not having = “the Law”, = are a law = unto themselves;
(Rom 2:15) who show = the work of = “the Law” = ‘written’ = in their hearts, = their conscience = also bearing witness, = and = the thoughts = between = one another = ‘accusing’ = or = even ‘excusing’ = one another,
Ever wonder “Why”… Lying, Stealing, Cheating or Adultery… is wrong in every nation on earth? Then there is the ‘Creation’ and it is… marvelous and slanderously grandeur…? Anyone claiming to be an ‘atheist’ will disagree with the “Designer Concept” of creation. His or her excuse is that it just evolved. Yet they will not deny… the “Fact of Gravity”… when flying in a plane or standing atop a very tall building. Yet they readily use their… “Designed Computer”… without second though about how it came about, by design.

Think Outside the Box…! I like Blogs and have developed a taste for them. I am an adult and like to have interactions with other ‘Adults’. But some are adult only in Body… and still a ‘Child’ in mine and emotions. Theses… “exchange of ideas”… is part and parcel of “Maturation into that Adult Mindset!” Yes, this even means sometimes… ‘to agree to disagree.’ Still other chose ‘not to’ develop these skills. They are what some would call… ‘Close Minded!’ But you too, may even call me close minded… to those ideas and concepts that would stand against… the Word of God, the Bible.

“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people do nothing.” British Statesman, Edmund Burke.
Political Correctness… has so “Permeated & Corrupted”… our American society. “Right is Wrong and Wrong is Right!” So ‘whose’ right and wrong… do You accept? If it affects You… directly… then you have an opinion. Our… “Constitution & Bill of Rights”…provides certain “Privileges & Responsibilities”. Yet when Congress and the Senate try and… Force on we USA Citizens… the “European Socialistic System”…! Will ‘You’ just sit by and allow those “Privileges & Responsibilities”… to be taken away with your… “Silence?”
http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/07/global-warming-101-blog.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_herring_(idiom)
Again, whose “Truth”… are you willing to accept? Unless you are like the ‘Sloth’… you will have to take some action against the… “Lie/Lies!” To say nothing… is worse than the ‘Wrong’ they are trying to shove down our throats. There are so many areas in which this has happened, which one do I choose to defend? Many a time, our media will produce a… ‘red herring’… to get us off track. Since when is… “Health Care”… a right and not a privilege? If the government could not get Medicare to work… what makes anyone think… that a ‘replacement’ will work…? And yes, who will pay for the health care of the… “14-to-25-million Illegal Aliens?” We will with Higher Taxes…!
(Matthew 4:4) But = He = answered and said, = It is written, = "Man shall ‘not’ = live by bread = alone, = but by every = Word = that proceeds out of = the mouth of God."
(Luke 4:3-4) And the Devil [Satan] = said to Him [Jesus], = If you are = the Son of God, = speak to this stone = that it might = become bread.
(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."
To me… there are ‘many’ issues of importance. You will 'not' often read my blogs without reference to the Real Issue. It is simply… “God’s Truth… found in His Word, the Bible”. “IF”… we believe in God and hold His Word to be Truth… “THEN”… He must have provided His Answer to the… “Problems of Life!” Simply finding that answer… can and will… provide a solution. But mankind in his or her life… wants things their way… and not God’s Way. Hence… we have problems without… solutions.
(Exodus 20:19-20) And = they = said to Moses, = You speak with us, = and = we will ‘hear’. = But = let ‘not’ = God = speak with us, = lest we die.
(Exodus 20:20) And = Moses = said to the people, = Do not fear, = for God = has come to = ‘test’ you, = and = so that = His fear = may be before your faces, = so that = you = may not sin.
How many times… have you slowed down driving when a ‘cop’ has pulled someone over? Was it because you were being ‘safe’… or was it because you were… ‘speeding?’ So too, as the Israelites did not want to… ‘Hear God’… today “MOST”… never open their Bibles to see what God has to say to you. Their reasoning goes something like this… “Perhaps I can get away with ‘XYZ’… is I do not know about it.” … Not So! Ignorance is no excuse with the IRS – Internal Revenue Service! So too… do you ‘really believe’ that God… is less stringent than they about “Hiding Wrong?”
(Hebrews 4:7) He again = marks out a certain day, = saying in [by] David [in the Psalms], = Today = after = so long a time, = according as = He [God] = has said, = "Today, = if you hear = His voice [Word], = do ‘not’ = harden your hearts." [MT-Psalm 95:7, 8]
Ok, so where do I begin…? May I simply suggest, ‘Open your Bible’… to the Gospel of Luke? Simply tell God, the best way you can... “Lord God, I have been negligent reading & studying Your Word, Please open my heart, mind and soul to You… through your Word. I ask this in Jesus’ Name and for Your Glory!” Amen & Amen.
(1Corinthians 9:27) but I buffet = my body = and = lead it captive, = lest = proclaiming to others = I myself = might be = disapproved.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_banister
You will ‘suddenly’ find… all sorts of distractions and a plethora of excuses… to keep you ‘out of’ God’s Word… the Bible. Phone calls, job responsibilities, family cares and all… simply to keep you from… the Word. Even when I was working… ‘8-10-12- hour days’… I got up… one hour early… to spend time in the Word. I find that it sets my… ‘mindset’… for that day and I easily order the day’s responsibilities. It will not happen overnight. But simply ask God… to help you!
(Exodus 16:21) And = they gathered it [manna] = every morning, = each man = according to = his eating. = And = when the sun = became hot, = it [remaining on the ground – not gathered] = melted [evaporated].
(Deuteronomy 8:16) Who = fed you = in the wilderness = with manna = which your fathers [in Egypt] = did not know, = so that = He [God] = might humble = you = and = so that He = might ‘prove’ [test] you, = to do you = good = in your latter end,
(John 6:48-to-51) I [Jesus] = am = the Bread of life.
(John 6:49) Your fathers = ate the manna = in the wilderness, = and = died.
(John 6:50) This is = the Bread = which comes down = from Heaven, = so that a man = may eat of it [by faith] = and = not die.
(John 6:51) I [Jesus] = am = the Living Bread = which came down = from Heaven. = If anyone = eats of = this Bread, = he = shall live forever. = And = truly = the bread = that = I = will give = is My flesh, = which = I will give = for = the life = of the world.

“Black Friday – 101”…Blog.
“Black Friday – 101”…Blog.
Did you get up early… to go shopping today? I was up before 5AM and went to my local Home Depot where I purchased a… “Rigid – 16 gallon ‘wet/dry’ Vac”… for the ridiculous price of “$19.95”. The list was ‘$99.95’ and surprisingly there were about 60 in the store. Not so when I immediately left and went to Staples… for their “8-Gig memory stick, pro-duo”… for $24:95… but they had less than 20 and were out at 6:30 AM. I haven’t done this early shopping in many years.
(Hebrews 13:5) Let your = lifestyle = be without covetousness; = and = be content = with such things = as you have: = for = He has said, = I will never = leave you, = nor = forsake thee.
As our economy is based… on the free enterprise system, consumers are often persuaded to get more and more. Our current… “National Economic Crisis”… is based on… ‘People’ buying ‘Things’… they could ‘Not Afford’… that they ‘Really “DID NOT” Need’… with unsecured borrowing… which has led to “Massive Personal Debt!” As our countries ‘national unemployment numbers’ approaches depression era standards we just keep ‘Spending’ and ‘Spending’ and ‘Spending!’ Bankruptcies’ are at an all time high!
(Romans 7:7) What = shall we say = then? = Is the law sin? = God forbid. = Nay, = I had not known sin, = but by the law: = for I had not known lust, = except the law had said, = Thou shall = ‘not’ = covet.
“I want” or “I need”… must be the ‘criteria’ of personal choice. The second question is… “Is this item essential for my daily living?” Some years ago my computer died. Up until it crashed, I had continued to upgrade my old one. I did not have the funds to purchase another computer… so I went to the Public Library… and used the computer there. I waited and saved and finally… “Purchased a ‘new’ one!”
(Proverbs 28:22) He = who hastens = to be rich = has = an evil eye, = and = does not know = that poverty = will come upon him.
“More is Better”… is the advertising mindset to get the consumer to… “Buy More!” How about this… “Less is More?” I haven’t struggled, with ‘too much’, with money, even though I do ‘not’ have a lot. I have just what “God”… the God of the Bible… “Can trust ‘me’ with!” Sure all of us have at one time entertained the ‘Fantasy of the Lotto!’ A USF professor wrote a book researching… ‘100 – people’… that had won the lottery. 98 of them were in worse shape, ‘Financially!’ Wealth has been the ‘moral ruin’ of many a family.
(Luke 12:15) And = He [Jesus] = said to them, = Watch = and = keep yourselves = from covetousness. = For = a man's life = “Is ‘Not’ In” = the abundance = of the things = which he = ‘possesses’.
What can you, “live without”…? Perhaps as the number of homeless people and especially ‘families’ increases… many are learning a lesson. I heard one single parent, who was living in a car with her two children say… that she was so ‘thankful’, to be back in a “One Bedroom Apartment!” Today, many have to have separate bedrooms, for each of the children, so that they can ‘each’ have their… ‘own space.’ Most of the world has to share rooms… why are ‘Americans’ so narrow minded… that they ‘cannot’ [will not], learn that lesson.
(1Thessalonians 5:18) In = ‘everything’ = give thanks, = for = this is = the will of God = in Christ Jesus = concerning ‘you’.
“Discipline”, is simply a word for ‘Training’. Olympic athletes train for hours, days and even years… to shave “Thousandths of a Second”… off their time in their sport. And yet they do it to earn the Gold, Silver or even Bronze. Self discipline is a ‘Learned Trait.’ English is my ‘mother tongue’ but I have to ‘discipline’ myself to learn another language. I have been ‘dabbling’ in Spanish since high school. I have also ‘dabbled’ in several other languages. But to really learn the fluency in another language, one needs to be able to… “Think in ‘that’ Language.”
(Philippians 2:5) For = let = this mind = be in you = which was also = in Christ Jesus,
(John 6:38) For = I [Jesus] = came down = from Heaven, = not to do = My = own will = but = the will = of Him [God] = Who sent Me.
About now… you can see where this is going. Is Christ Jesus the Messiah… your Lord & Savior? Did you know that “Lord means Boss?” If you love Him, isn’t it about time… that you begin to… ‘Act as though you do?’ You spending is… ‘part & parcel’… of that life in Christ. Yes, we all like ‘new’ things and to be able to have ‘new’ things, but are some of them… “Really Necessary?”
(Luke 10:39-to-42) And she = had a sister = called Mary, = who also = sat at Jesus' feet = and = heard His word.
(Luke 10:40) But Martha = was distracted = with much serving [entertaining] = And = she came to Him [Jesus] = and said, = Lord, = do You not care = that my sister = has left me = to serve alone? = Therefore = tell her = to help me.
(Luke 10:41) And = Jesus answered = and said to her, = Martha, = Martha, = you are anxious = and = troubled = about many things.
(Luke 10:42) But one thing is needful, = and = Mary = has chosen that good part, = which shall ‘not’ = be taken away from her.
Do you entertain… in your home? Do you have to have the best China and Crystal and Silver ware? I know of a ‘missionary family’ that comes back to the USA every five years. When one comes over to visit with them, they serve either “Bologna & cheese” or “Peanut butter & jelly” sandwiches’ for the meal. The time with them is “always precious”… for the things that Christ is doing in other countries and in their lives.
(Luke 16:11-12) So = ‘if’ = you = have ‘not’ = been faithful = with unrighteous riches, = who = will trust you with = “True Wealth?” [1John 2:4]
(Luke 16:12) And = if = you have ‘not’ = been faithful = with what belongs to foreigners [another], = who will give you = what is = your own?
I will not pretend… to tell how to use the resources that ‘God’ has entrusted to you, nor would I dare to. May I simply suggest that… “Less is More?” Yes, I did look at that Laptop that was on sale today… and decided against it, as it is a ‘toy’ and “not a necessity”… as I already have a one year old desktop. What about that purchase that you are thinking about for Christmas? Are you going to put yourself in [more] debt… because you… “Owe it to Yourself”… to get that… “???”
(Luke 14:28-29-30) For = which of you, = intending to build a tower, = does not sit down = ‘first’ = and = “count the cost”, = whether he = may have = enough = to finish it;
(Luke 14:29) lest perhaps, = after he has = laid the foundation = and = is not able = to finish, = all = those seeing = begin to mock him,
(Luke 14:30) saying, = This man = began to build = and = was not able = to finish.
How about turning… ‘Black Friday’… into “Green Friday”, simply by keeping… the “Green”… for something you need instead of… ‘something’ you want? You or I or Anyone… does not need an excuse to spend money. We do it because it gives us a… “Feeling of control”… which is merely an illusion. When the bills come due… “That is the reality!” The ‘option’ of returning it, ‘Now’… is always there…!
(Luke 12:15) And = He [Jesus] = said to them, = Watch = and = keep yourselves = from covetousness. = For = a man's life = “Is ‘Not’ In” = the abundance = of the things = which he = ‘possesses’.

“Thanksgiving – 101”…Blog.
“Thanksgiving – 101”…Blog.
This week… many Americans will celebrate this National Holiday. The Canadians celebrated their Thanksgiving day back in October. I remember the first time I did ‘not’ celebrate Thanksgiving. I was in the service overseas and even though the “Mess Hall had Turkeys”… it was not the same. This holiday is often the major holiday of the year. But what about Christmas? The ‘Office or Workplace’ Christmas Parties have become an excuse for License and Drinking. Hardly reflective of the real Christmas.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving_day
Most ‘do not’ know the real story… about Thanksgiving celebrated by the Capt. John Smith and the Plymouth Plantation. Many that came to this ‘new country’… did so to escape persecution brought about by… the Catholic and the Church of England. I remember reading this in my public school history book. The history books of today… reflect ‘Political Correctness’… and leave out these ‘important’ facts. Our American history has been dumb down… to remove… any thought of God working in our history.
(1Timothy 6:6-7-8) But = godliness = with contentment = is = great gain.
(1Tim 6:7) For = we = brought nothing = into the world, = and = it is clear = that = we can carry = nothing out.
(1Tim 6:8) But = having food = and = covering, = we will be = content.
I have both lived… and worked overseas… and know firsthand some of the conditions of ‘Others’ living in those areas. We here in America can get a drink of “Clean Drinking Water” almost anytime we want. We have food and housing and many things we take for granted. Most Americans… “Are NOT Thankful”… for what they have. They seem to what… more and better… and do not know what they really have.
Many ‘never’ think… about being “Thankful to God” for all we have here. The Entertainment industry has so filled our minds with the “Part” attitude that all we can think about is… “More of this or that. Few are thankful for their Houses, Cars or even their Families. Most are looking for better houses, better cars and those material things… that really are nothing but vanity.
(Job 15:31) Let not = he = being deceived = trust in vanity; = for = vanity = shall be = his reward.
As you enjoy your Thanksgiving… remember to “Really be Thankful”… for what you have. Most of us will have produce on out tables. But have you even though about the… “Migrant Farm Laborers”… that picked that produce? Their jobs are temporary… often moving from area to are to… Pick that Produce… that you are eating every day. Many have families… that will not be sitting down… to even have ‘such a bounty’… as you have on your table.
(Exodus 20:13) You = shall ‘not’ = murder = innocent life.
God, the God of the Bible… has blessed our nation America… unlike any modern nation. He has been steadily withdrawing His blessing on our nation. Why…? Perhaps it is because our “Apathy”… towards and for the “Innocent Unborn”… “WHO are Killed”… in their “Mother’s Womb by Abortion”. So too, we have two states, Washington and Oregon… that have ‘Assisted Suicide.’ If we, as a nation do not care for the ‘Unborn’ and our ‘Elders’… what does that say about… “US?” A nation of nothing more than… ‘wild animals’… parading around as humans?
(Romans 5:8) But = God = demonstrates His love = for us = by the fact = that Christ Jesus = died for us = while = we were still = sinners.
Those of us… that know Him, each and every day are thankful that we have been delivered from the Penalty and the Power of “Sin/Sins!” Those that ‘do not’ know Him… live in the “Pretending”… that He does not exist. Too soon, the reality of eternity will come upon them, without any remedy. If you ‘do not’… know Him… perhaps you should not let this issue continue… before you eat that, ‘Thanksgiving Dinner?’
(1Timothy 5:24-25) Some men's sins = are open = beforehand, = going before = to judgment. = And = some = they also = follow after.
(1Tim 5:25) Likewise also = the good works of some are manifest beforehand, = and = those who are otherwise = cannot be hidden.
God has provided Salvation… through the Finished Atonement… of Christ Jesus the Messiah. When you reject this provision for your “Sin/Sins”… it simply demonstrates… “Your Un-Thankfulness!” What more can I say to you? You have already heard it before. I would simply remind you of the “Terror” you had during the… “9-11” Terrorist Attack… on our country. Your… “Rejection” of God and His Provision… to pay in full for all your “Sin/Sins”… will last in and throughout… “Eternity, in the Lake of Fire!”
(Revelation 20:11-to-15) And = I saw = a great white throne, = and = Him = sitting on it, = from Whose face = the earth = and the heaven = fled away. = And = a place was not = found for them.
(Rev 20:12) And I saw = the dead, = the small = and = the great, = stand = before God. = And = books were opened, = and = another book = was opened, = which is = the Book of Life. = And = the dead = were judged = out of those things = which were written = in the books, = according to their works.
(Rev 20:13) And = the sea = gave up = the dead = in it. = And = ‘death and hell’ = delivered up = the dead in them. = And = ‘each one’ of them = was judged = according to = their works.
(Rev 20:14) And = death and hell = were cast = into = the Lake of Fire. = This is = the second death.
(Rev 20:15) And = if = “Anyone” = was not found = having been written = in the Book of Life, = he was cast = into = the Lake of Fire.
Perhaps during this Day… “Thanksgiving Day”… will not be so good… if you have been Un-Thankful to God and His provision for your Salvation in Christ Jesus. Remember God gave you… Free Will… to choose or not to choose… to Love & Serve… Him. God is Love and God is Holy. Your rejection of Him… will be your choice alone. You will “Never” be able to blame Him for your rejection of Him.
(Revelation 21:8) But = the fearful, = and = the “UNBELIEVING”, = and = the abominable, = and = murderers, = and = the sexual immoral, = and = sorcerers, = and = idolaters, = and = “All Liars”, = will have = their part = in the Lake = burning with fire and brimstone, = which is the second death.
Have a good Thanksgiving Day…!

This week… many Americans will celebrate this National Holiday. The Canadians celebrated their Thanksgiving day back in October. I remember the first time I did ‘not’ celebrate Thanksgiving. I was in the service overseas and even though the “Mess Hall had Turkeys”… it was not the same. This holiday is often the major holiday of the year. But what about Christmas? The ‘Office or Workplace’ Christmas Parties have become an excuse for License and Drinking. Hardly reflective of the real Christmas.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving_day
Most ‘do not’ know the real story… about Thanksgiving celebrated by the Capt. John Smith and the Plymouth Plantation. Many that came to this ‘new country’… did so to escape persecution brought about by… the Catholic and the Church of England. I remember reading this in my public school history book. The history books of today… reflect ‘Political Correctness’… and leave out these ‘important’ facts. Our American history has been dumb down… to remove… any thought of God working in our history.
(1Timothy 6:6-7-8) But = godliness = with contentment = is = great gain.
(1Tim 6:7) For = we = brought nothing = into the world, = and = it is clear = that = we can carry = nothing out.
(1Tim 6:8) But = having food = and = covering, = we will be = content.

“Pseudo [False] Christians – 401” [4/4] Blog.
“Pseudo [False] Christians – 401” [4/4] Blog.
Do you know about “Counterfeit Money”…? The Secret Service, is that enforcement branch of the government deals with that problem. Even with the new currency and all its safeguards, the counterfeit money is still in circulation. Water marks, security strips and the like… do not dissuade the counterfeiters. So today, Churches are a numerous as the counterfeiters and ‘many’ of them promise a false hope… “Gilded over with Lies”… about God and His Word.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterfeit_money
God, the God of the Bible… has given us His Word, so that we might learn and know “His Truth”. Many of those that attend Church… do so as a part of our culture, hence the term ‘Cultural Christians’. Many attend Easter and Christmas services but seldom attend Church at any other time. If your mate only, came to see you… twice a year… would they ‘really’ be your ‘mate?’
(1Peter 3:12) For = the eyes = of the Lord = are on = the righteous, = and = His ears = open = to their prayers. = But = the Lord's face = is against those = who = do evil.
Many ‘only’ give a mental ascent… to God. They have nothing to do with Him, unless they are in ‘Trouble’. When they are told, that they have cancer or if one of their children is in danger of death, they will then… and only then, acknowledge God. They do not pray themselves… but ask those that do… to pray for their situation. As a veteran I have heard… foxhole conversions… and have seen the fruit they produce. Few ‘ever’ keep their words to God, when the trouble is over and things are back on track.
(John 10:16) And = I [Jesus] = have = other sheep = who = are not of this fold. = I = must also = lead those, = and = they = shall hear My voice, = and = there shall be = one flock, = one Shepherd.
(Matthew 11:28) Come = to Me [Jesus] = all ‘You’ = who labor = and = are heavy laden, = and = I = will give you = rest.
Who am I… to speak such things to you? Who made me… my brothers’ keeper? Who gave me the ‘authority’ to even speak such things, showing what is and ‘what is not’… “True Christianity?” It is my Father God, the God of the Bible who told His children to… tell ‘others’ about… what He has provided for “All Mankind!” “Well, I already believe in God… what more do I need…?” “Besides… I already said I was a Christian…!” Perhaps, but a Real Biblical Christian…?
(Hebrews 9:27) And = as it is = appointed = to men = once to die, = but = after this = the judgment,
Ok, so you ‘Say’… that you are a Christian, are you ready to… “Stand before God Now?” If you are ‘not’ now… ‘this very minute’… ready to stand before God, “To be Judged”… are you sure that You… Really ‘ARE’, a Bible Christian? None of us… yes no own knows ‘just when’ our death will take place. Most expect to live into old age and then ‘pass away’. Few even use the term… “Then Die!” Perhaps using the term ‘pass away’… will help you avoid the terror you feel…?
(Ecclesiastes 12:13-14) Let = “US” = hear the conclusion = of the = ‘whole matter’. = Fear God, = and = ‘keep’ = His commandments. = For this is = the whole duty = of man.
(Eccl 12:14) For = God = shall bring = every work = into judgment, = with = every secret thing, = whether it is good, = or = whether evil.
So do you… “Still Say” that ‘You’… are a “Christian”…? If you are ‘not ready’ to stand before Him and have Him… “Judge You”… perhaps you might want to “Rethink… what being a Christian… Really Means?” Besides all that… do you know what God will use to… “Judge You?” It is His Word… as Christ Jesus said in… “John 12:44-to-50”! Well, I often speak about God and… I attend Church and… I give to the Church and… I am ‘OK’ to my fellow man [except you know who]. Is that enough good… to get ‘ME’… into heaven? Absolutely Not!
(Hebrews 2:15) and = might free = those = who were slaves [to sin] = all their lives = because = they were terrified = by death.
(Romans 6:16) Do you = not know = that to whom = you = yield yourselves as slaves = for obedience, = you are slaves = to him whom = you obey; = whether = it is of sin = to death, = or = of obedience = to righteousness.
I like attending funerals. It is the one time, people are open ‘to hear about’… Eternal Life, through the finished work of “Christ Jesus, the Messiah”. When faced with the death of another, especially someone that they have known… they at least have ‘some’ introspection… into their own lives. When else, except at a funeral… do we come to the fact of… “Life & Death?” May I simply ask you… “Are you, ‘this very moment’… ready to stand before God… and have your life Judged?” If you cannot say… “Yes Affirmatively”… then perhaps ‘now’ is the time to “Question” what you mean when ‘you’ say… “Yes, I am a Christian”.
(2Corinthains 10:12) We would = not dare = put ourselves = in the same class with = or = compare ourselves = to those = who recommend themselves. = When they = measure = themselves by themselves = and = compare themselves = to themselves, = they show = how foolish = they are.
About now… you may be thinking of ‘some’ your friends, who say they are Christians… and who are really ‘not’. Our human minds always tries to ‘justify’ ourselves… by ‘comparing ourselves’… with someone we know. Simply compare yourself with what God has said in His Word. How ‘then’, do you compare? Can you simply admit… that even though you thought you were a Christian… that you fall short of God’s Word? That is the first step… to becoming a “Real Christian.”
(Romans 5:12) Therefore, = just as = sin = entered the world = through one man [Adam], = and = death through sin, = so = death spread = to everyone, = because = “All” = have sinned.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanic
That seems to put us all… in the same ‘Boat’ and it is sinking. When you come to the ‘realization’ that… “You, by your Actions”… have violated the Law of God… that is the beginning. Only sinners… need a Savior, Christ Jesus, of which ‘all’ humans are. God in His Love and Mercy… did not send Christ Jesus… so that you could claim a ‘religion!’ No, not that you could claim some ‘Denomination!’ But that you could… by faith in God’s work of Salvation… trust Christ Jesus… as the payment to God… for all your “Sin/Sins”… Past, Present and Future!
(Romans 5:8) But = God = demonstrates = His love = for us = by the fact = that = Christ died = for ‘us’ = while = we were = still sinners.
(Romans 4:25) [Jesus] Who = was delivered = because of = our offenses = and = was raised = for = our justification.
In simple English… “Jesus paid it All!” When we come to God, as sinners, and trust in the … “Finished Work of Redemption”… by ‘Christ Jesus’… that and ‘only’ that… makes us a “True Bible Christian”. No Church membership or Church Denomination… can bring this about. When you believe in God… just as the Scriptures say [John 7:38-39]… God sends His Holy Spirit… to abide with our human spirit…. “Till the Redemption of our Human Bodies” His Holy Spirit… makes us, as the Bible says… “Born Again = born from Above!”
(Ephesians 1:7-to-14) In = Him [Christ Jesus] = we have = redemption = through = His blood, = the forgiveness of sins, = according to the riches = of = His grace,
(Eph 1:8) which = He = caused to abound = toward us = in all wisdom = and = understanding;
(Eph 1:9) having = made known = to ‘us’ = the mystery = of His will, = according to = His = good pleasure = which He = purposed = in Himself,
(Eph 1:10) for = an administration = of the fullness of times, = to head up = all things = in Christ, = both = the things in Heaven, = and = the things on earth, = even in Him,
(Eph 1:11) in Whom = also = we have been chosen = to an inheritance, = being predestinated = according to = the purpose = of Him = Who works = all things = according to = the counsel of = His own will,
(Eph 1:12) 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 [down payment] = of our inheritance, = to the redemption = of [us] = the purchased possession, = to the praise = of His glory.
About now… if your heart is open to God and to His Word… you are wondering where you are to go or what you are to do… now? All this time you simply thought was that all you have to do is to give… a ‘mental’ assent to God… and that made you a Christian. Well, it did ‘Not!’ God wants your heart… as that is where His Holy Spirit will live and lead you. What can you do… now? Perhaps this simple prayer…?
Father God… up to this point… I believed that I was good enough on my own. You in Your Word, The Bible… tells me that I have violated… Your Law and Your Word. I know now that I am a helpless sinner and I cannot save myself. The very best I know how… I am trusting in the Finished Work of Christ Jesus, the Messiah. I yield myself willing to You and to Your Word. I believe that Christ Jesus… died in my place… for my “Sin/Sins.” Make me Your child… lead and teach me Your Word, I ask this in Jesus Name and for Your Glory, Amen & Amen…!
(Romans 10:9-to-13) Because = if = “you” = confess the Lord Jesus, = and = believe = in your heart = that God = has raised Him [Jesus] = 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 Gentile, = 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."

About now… if your heart is open to God and to His Word… you are wondering where you are to go or what you are to do… now? All this time you simply thought was that all you have to do is to give… a ‘mental’ assent to God… and that made you a Christian. Well, it did ‘Not!’ God wants your heart… as that is where His Holy Spirit will live and lead you. What can you do… now? Perhaps this simple prayer…?
Father God… up to this point… I believed that I was good enough on my own. You in Your Word, The Bible… tells me that I have violated… Your Law and Your Word. I know now that I am a helpless sinner and I cannot save myself. The very best I know how… I am trusting in the Finished Work of Christ Jesus, the Messiah. I yield myself willing to You and to Your Word. I believe that Christ Jesus… died in my place… for my “Sin/Sins.” Make me Your child… lead and teach me Your Word, I ask this in Jesus Name and for Your Glory, Amen & Amen…!
(Romans 10:9-to-13) Because = if = “you” = confess the Lord Jesus, = and = believe = in your heart = that God = has raised Him [Jesus] = 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 Gentile, = 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."

“Pseudo [False] Christians – 301” [part Three] Blog
“Pseudo [False] Christians – 301” [part Three] Blog
Once again I ‘must’ ask the “Question”…? Do “YOU” believe your ‘Church or Denomination’… or do you… Believe… “God and what He has said in His Word, The Bible?” If your doctor told you that you have Cancer, you can say… “I don’t believe you!” Or you could say… “I believe you, what are my Options?” That is how it is with “God and His Word”. ‘YOU’ must ‘personally’ make the Choice to… “Believe HIM, Alone”… or ‘Not’ to believe His Word!
(Hebrews 13:8) Jesus Christ = the same = yesterday = and = today = and = forever.
(Malachi 3:6) For = I am = Jehovah [God], = I = change not. = Because of this = you sons of Jacob = are not destroyed.
Does your ‘Church’ or ‘Denomination’… ordain “Homosexuals” as Pastors? “Many” do and their congregations sit idly by… on the pews and think… ‘nothing’ of it. Mankind changes his mind set to accommodate his sin. Even the ‘Vocabulary’… has changed to accommodate this sin. Instead of using the Bible term, “Homosexual”… the term ‘Gay’… has been substituted to allow, “Political Correctness”… to so contaminate the ‘Church’… so that ‘one’ cannot easily distinguish between… ‘Good & Evil!’ When was the last time your ‘Pastor or Preacher or Priest’… used the “Bible” terminology… “Homosexual?”
(Matthew 7:12-to-15) Therefore = all things, = whatever you desire = that men = should = do to you, = do even so = to them; = for this is = “The Law” and “The Prophets”.
(Matt 7:13) Go in = through = the narrow gate, = for = wide is the gate = and = broad is the way = that leads = to destruction, = and = “MANY” = there are = who go in = through it.
(Matt 7:14) Because = narrow is the gate = and = constricted is the way = which leads to [Eternal] life, = and = there are = “FEW” = who = find it.
(Matt 7:15) Beware of = false prophets = who come = to you = in sheep's clothing, = but = inwardly = they are ravening wolves.
(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.
Once again I ‘must’ ask the “Question”…? Do “YOU” believe your Church or Denomination… or do you… Believe… “God and what He has said in… His Word, The Bible?” Only “Real Bible Christians”… believe God and His Word, the Bible. All ‘others’ are simply… ‘Cultural Christians.’ As the ‘Culture’ changes and degrades… so too, do they follow this ‘pattern of entropy to perdition’. To show you this degradation… I will tell you that “Many”, that claimed to be Christians… got mad at me for the posting of these Blogs about…. “Halloween” and “Harry Potter”
http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/10/halloween-101-blog.html
http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/06/harry-potter-101-blog.html
About now, some may be saying… “What has that got to do with Christianity?” It is ‘Plain & Simple’… “Obedience”… to God and to His Word, the Bible. Some of you who had ‘claimed’ you were Christians… got angry with me about these posts. Some of you left and cancelled your FB Friendship with me. No, I did ‘not’ get offended, for you see… “God’s Word” and “Your Obedience” to it… is the “Test of Real Christianity”. IF the Word of God offends you and your Actions… what is Wrong? Is it God’s Word… or is it ‘your’ Actions?
(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."
(1John 2:3-to-6) And = by this = we ‘know’ = that we = have known = Him, = “IF” = we keep = His commandments [Word].
(1Jn 2:4) He = who says, = I have known Him, = and = “Does NOT” = keep = His commandments [Word], = is a “Liar”, = and the Truth = is ‘Not’ = in him.
(1Jn 2:5) But whoever = keeps His Word, = truly = in this one = the love of God = is perfected. = By this = we know = that = we are in Him.
(1Jn 2:6) He who = says = he abides in Him = ought himself = ‘also’ to walk = even as = He walked.
The Word of God… is simply your ‘Test’ of your Love for God. If your ‘walk in life’, (i.e.) your “Actions [Works]”… are ‘not’ consistent with that of Christ Jesus, then perhaps YOU should examine yourself and see… If your belief in “God & Christ Jesus” is… “Really Real?” Obedience to Him and His Word… is the “Test”. If you will read through the Old Testament, Obedience to God’s Word… was the Key to His people, Israel. When they disobeyed… HE, God chastened [Spanked] them. So to the New Testament… those ‘who’ really belongs to God… will be chastened [Spanked] for disobedience… to Him and to His Word.
(1Corinthians 11:30) That's why = so ‘many’ = of you = are weak = and = sick = and = a considerable number = are dying.
(Hebrews 12:6-7-8) For the Lord disciplines [Spanks] = the one = He loves, = and = He punishes = every son = He accepts."
(Heb 12:7) What = you endure = is for the sake = of discipline [training]. = God is treating you = as sons. = Is there a son = whom = his father = does not discipline?
(Heb 12:8) Now = if = ‘you’ = are without = any discipline, = in which = all sons share, = Then = ‘YOU’ = are “Illegitimate” [a bastard] = and = ‘not’ = His sons.
Will you allow… your own human child to get away with “Wrong & Evil?” Absolutely Not, because You love him or her. So too… God, the God of the Bible… will not allow His “Real” Child to continue to do wrong. The Love of God towards us… is simply reflected back to Him… through us… by His Indwelling Holy Spirit… in us… by our “Obedience” to Him and His Word! We are ‘the channel’ for His Love… so that ‘others’ may see His Love… for us, His ‘Real’… “Children of God”.
(Ephesians 3:16-to-21) that = He [God] = would grant you, = according to = the riches of = His glory, = to be strengthened = with might = by His Spirit = in the inner man;
(Eph 3:17) that = Christ = may ‘dwell’ = in ‘your’ hearts = by faith; = that = ‘you’, = being rooted = and = grounded = in love,
(Eph 3:18) ‘May’ be able = to comprehend = with ‘all’ saints = what is = the breadth = and = length = and = depth = and = height,
(Eph 3:19) And = “To Know” = the “Love of Christ” = which passes = ‘knowledge [of Him], = that ‘you’ = might be filled = with ‘all’ = the fullness = of God.
(Eph 3:20) Now = to Him = Who is able = to do = exceeding abundantly = above all = that we = ask or think, = according = to the power [His Holy Spirit] = that works = in us,
(Eph 3:21) to Him = be glory = in the church = by “Christ Jesus” = throughout = ‘all ages’, = forever. = Amen.
May I ask you a Question…? Can your ‘Church or Denomination’… give you ‘these’… or… is it the “Word of God”… that which gives, the True Believer… these “Understandings and Promises”… by the Holy Spirit of God? Obviously these ‘Only’ come directly from God and from His Word, the Bible. These Words of Scripture… are the Truth of God… and are ‘Only’ for those that are “Really”… ‘His!’
(2Peter 1:2-to-11) Grace = and = peace = be multiplied = to you = through = the knowledge of God = and = of Jesus = our Lord,
(2Pet 1:3) according as = His divine power [Holy Spirit] = has given to us = ‘all’ things = that pertain to life = and = godliness, = through = the [Bible] knowledge = of Him = Who has called = us = to glory = and virtue,
(2Pet 1:4) through which = He = has given = to us = exceedingly great = and = precious promises, = so that = by these = ‘you’ = might be partakers = of the Divine Nature, = having escaped = the corruption = that is in the world = through lust.
(2Pet 1:5) But also = in this ‘very thing’, = bringing in = ‘all’ diligence, = filling out = your faith = with virtue, = and = with virtue, = knowledge;
(2Pet 1:6) and = with knowledge = self-control, = and = with self-control, = patience, = and = with patience, = godliness,
(2Pet 1:7) and = with godliness, = brotherly kindness, = and = with brotherly kindness, = love.
(2Pet 1:8) For “IF” = these things = are in ‘you’ = and = abound, = they make ‘you’ = to be ‘neither idle’ = nor = ‘unfruitful = in the [Bible] ‘knowledge’ = of our Lord = Jesus Christ.
(2Pet 1:9) For he = in whom = these things = are ‘not’ present = is “blind” = and = cannot see afar off = and = has forgotten = that he = was purged = from his sins in the past.
(2Pet 1:10) Therefore, = brothers, = rather be ‘diligent’ = to ‘make’ = your “calling and election” = sure =, for “if” you = do these things, = ‘you’ = shall never fall.
(2Pet 1:11) For so = an entrance = shall be ministered =to you = ‘abundantly’ = into = the everlasting kingdom = of our = Lord and Savior = Jesus Christ.
Once again I ‘must’ ask the “Question”…? Do “YOU” believe your Church or Denomination… or do you… Believe… “God and what He has said in His Word, The Bible?” Surely your… ‘Church or Denomination’… cannot give you these things… “2Peter 1:2-to-11”… with Church ‘doctrine’… that differs from the Word of God, the Bible. IF your Church disagrees with the Word of God… “Who is Wrong?” Is it God… or is it that ‘you’… follow what your Church says… and… “Not” of which the Word of God… “Speaks in Truth?”
(John 6:63) It is = the [Holy] Spirit = that makes alive, = the flesh = profits nothing. The Words = that I [Jesus] = speak to you = are Spirit = and = are Life.
(1Corinthians 14:32-33) And = the spirits [True or False] = of the prophets = are subject = to the prophets [True or False].
(1Cor 14:33) For = God = is “NOT” = the author of confusion, = but = of peace, = as in = ‘all’ churches = of the [True] saints.
All Christian Churches… ‘Do Not’… hold to the “Strict Interpretation of the Word of God”, the Bible. “Many”… have adapted to a “Liberal Interpretation” of the Bible… as to ‘Not Offend’ those that would continue to… ‘Liberally practice Sin/Sins’… and ‘still’ be a member of that Church or Denomination. When was the last time your Church or Denomination… practiced Church Discipline… as the Holy Spirit instructed the Corinthian Church? See Chapter 5 and see what the Church was instructed to do…? This practice follows and is in accord with… “Matthew 18:15-to-18”
If you are still reading… these blogs about the “Pseudo [False] Christians”… your heart is open to the Holy Spirit of God and to Bible Doctrine [teaching]. It is the Word of God… that will judge us ‘All’… both the “True Possessors” and ‘False Pretenders’ of the Christian Faith. In the next blog… I will address ‘how’ this works. Until then… I will leave you with these verses.
(Luke 6:46) And = why = do ‘you’ = call Me [Jesus] = Lord, = Lord, = and = do not do = what = I [Jesus] = say?
(James 1:22) Keep on = being = “Doers of the Word”, = and = “Not” = merely hearers = who = ‘Deceive’ = themselves.
(Hebrews 10:38-39) Now, = "the Just = shall live = by Faith. = But = ‘if’ = he draws back, = My [God’s] soul = shall have = ‘no’ pleasure = in him."
(Heb 10:39) But = “WE” = are ‘not’ of those = withdrawing = to destruction [Damnation], = but of those = ‘who’ believe = to the preserving = of the soul.

“Pseudo [False] Christians – 201” [part Two] Blog.
“Pseudo [False] Christians – 201” [part Two] Blog.
Disclaimer: It is not my intent… to ‘demean’ nor to ‘discredit’… any religion or denomination or… “Person”. When I see an “Alternate Truth = displayed as = God’s Truth”… I am commanded by the “Scriptures”… to speak out about this. Please see, “Ezekiel 2:7” & “Jude 1:3-4”… and “Ezekiel 3:18-to-21”… “IF”, you believe the Bible. If you do “NOT”… believe the Bible… all this discussion will mean… ‘nothing to you’.
(1Corinthians 2:12-to-15) But we = have ‘not’ received = the spirit of the world, = but = the [Holy] Spirit from God, = so that we = ‘might know’ = the things = that are = freely given = to us by God.
(1Cor 2:13) These = ‘things/ = we also speak, = not in words = which man's wisdom teaches, = but which the Holy Spirit = teaches, = comparing spiritual things = with spiritual.
(1Cor 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.
(1Cor 2:15) But = he who is spiritual = judges “all” things, = yet = he himself = is judged by no one.
Here in America… there are many Christian Denominations as part of our American Culture. ‘Most’ are “NOT” True Biblical Christians. About now, there are ‘some’ reading this… who will be “Angered because of the”… “Bible Truth”… that I am going to share, from the Word of God. American Law and Justus Prudence is derived from our ‘Constitution and the Bill of Rights’. True Biblical Christianity is,,, “Solely Derived”… “Only from the Word of God, the Bible”… and ‘Not’… from some Church or some ‘Denominational’ teaching.
(Proverbs 14:12) There is = a way = which seems = right = to a man, = but = the ‘end’ of it = is the ways = of death.
(John 17:17) Sanctify them = through Your = Truth. = Your = Word = is Truth.
What do ‘you’ hold as “Truth”…? Simple Question, is it what ‘Your’ Church teaches… or what the Word of God, the Bible Teaches? When you… ‘Honestly Answer’… this question, you reveal what exactly you believe. IF… it is the “Right Belief”… then you are in tune with what God says in His Word. IF… it is the “Wrong Belief”… then it does NOT… Completely Agree with the Word of God. “Nothing More… Nothing Less!”
(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?
Here is a link… http://www.wikipedia.org/ Simply type in your… ‘Church Denomination’… and then “Compare”… “When & How”… they Started. What their doctrine is… to what the Bible says. I was the same way… as I was raised, a Roman Catholic. I was taught that… ‘No other Church had the Truth… but the Catholic Church. It was ‘only’ after I had left that Church and some 10-years later… went to ‘Look’ for the… “Real Truth!” About now, some will no longer to continue reading. They purposely… ‘Do Not’… want to hear… “The Truth!”
(1Thessalonians 5:21) Prove = ‘All’ = things, = hold fast = to the good.
Surely you would ‘not’… go to a doctor… that had been convicted of “Medical Malpractice?” Surely you would not go to a bank… that had ‘Failed’ and was taken over by the Fed? Surely you would not… move into a neighborhood… next to a ‘sexual predator?’ Surely you would not… eat ‘spoiled’ food? Why then would you believe… what your Church taught… without “First”, checking out what God said in His Word…?
(Matthew 12:30) The ‘one’ =who = is not = with Me [Jesus] = is ‘against’ = Me, = and = the one = who does not gather = with Me = scatters.
(Luke 11:23) He = who = is not with Me [Jesus] = is against = Me, = and = he who does not gather = with Me = scatters.
What was Jesus… speaking about? The ‘religious leaders’ of the Jews, God’s chosen people… had moved away from the teachings of the Bible, the Word of God… and had replaced it… with the ‘teaching of the elders’. That is no different than what we have today, as simply called, “Christian Denominations.” “Who” then do you… believe, “God:… or your Denomination. Can you really say… that they hold to the… “Same Teachings as the Bible?”
Before ‘You’ say something… perhaps I may give you an example. Most Christians know that the Jehovah Witnesses… are ‘not’ True Christians… even though they ‘falsely’ claim to be. So too are the Mormons. Each of these Pseudo Christian groups… “Do NOT Believe that Jesus is God!” To the Mormons, they believe that Lucifer, now the Devil was the Brother of Jesus. Will you say that they are… “Real Christians”… or “Not?” Real Christians believe that Jesus is God… as taught by the Scriptures.

“Don’t Confuse ‘me’ with the Facts”… someone recently remarked to me… “I believe in Jesus and God”… and that is enough! Is that really so? The Muslims, those of Islam believe in God and in Jesus… but that is the ‘God of Islam’ and the ‘Jesus of Islam’… which are “NOT” the “God and Jesus”… of the Bible. Is that Islam belief in “God and Jesus”… enough to bring salvation to them? “Absolutely NOT!”
(John 3:3) Jesus = answered and said = to him, = Truly, = truly, = I = say to you, = Unless a man is = born again, = he cannot = see the kingdom of God.
(John 7:37-38-39) And = in the last day = of the great feast [Passover], = Jesus = stood = and = cried out, = saying, = If = anyone thirsts, = let him = come to Me = and drink.
(John 7:38) He who = believes on Me, = As The = “SCRIPTURES” = Has Said, = "Out of his belly = shall flow = rivers = of = living water."
(John 7:39) But = He [Jesus] = spoke this about = the [Holy] Spirit, = which they = who believed = on Him [Jesus] = should receive; = for = the Holy Spirit = was ‘not’ = yet given, = because = Jesus = was ‘not’ yet = glorified [risen from the dead].
Being Born Again… is Being Born From Above… by God’s “Holy Spirit”. Did you ‘notice’… the ‘qualification’ that Jesus Himself made about this statement? That True Belief in God… must be according to… The “Scriptures”… has ‘Said!’ I have seen and heard all sorts of Belief in Jesus, ranging from one extreme to another. Even the “Taco Jesus”… that made national news. Here where I live there was a ‘religious icon’ that mysteriously appeared on one of the building here and was worshiped as a miracle. … NOT!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHlopjHepEw&feature=related
(James 3:1) Not ‘many’ of = you = should become = ‘teachers’, = my brothers, = because = you know that = we = who teach = will be judged = “More Severely”.
I have had people tell me… “You ‘say’ you are a Christian and are so… “Unloving with your Remarks!” If I were really ‘unloving’… why “then”, would I… care so much for your… “Soul and Salvation”… that I would… ‘Not’… tell you the Truth of God’s Word, the Bible? True Biblical Love cares for the soul of those that are lost and dying in their… “Sin/Sins!” What is the ONLY SIN… that cannot be Forgiven? It is the Sin of Unbelief. Perhaps that is why… God has taken on Himself to make His Salvation to all mankind.
1. The Holy Spirit Convicts the Sinner… John 16:7-to-11.
2. Jesus enlightens the Sinner… John 1:7-to-14.
3. God commands All Mankind to Repent… Acts 17:30-31.
4. God gives mankind repentance… 2Timothy 2:25-26.
5. No man can come to God… except He first draw him… John 6:44.
6. Each person must be Born Again = by the Holy Spirit of God… John 3:5-6-7.
7. Mankind loves the darkness of sin… John 3:18-19-20.
8. Satan has blinded mankind… 2Corinthains 4:3-4.
9. No good works or law keeping… can save a Person… Titus 3:5 – Ephesians 2:8-9-10.
10. The heart of the person under conviction will respond this way… Acts 9:6.
11. Belief and Confession… bring forth Salvation… Roman 10:9-to-13.
12. Immediately that Salvation is evident by the Holy Spirit… Ephesians 1:4-to-17.
13. Immediately the Holy Spirit comes to resided in that person… 1Cor 12:13 & Romans 8:9.
14. That salvation is permanent… Hebrews 5:9.
15. A real believe has a hunger for the Word of God… Acts 17:11.
16. Salvation is… “Rejected by Many”… Psalms 14:1, Romans one and… ‘Many’ other verses.
17. Straight is the Way and Narrow is the Gate and “FEW” be there that find it… Matt 7:13-14.
The Bottom Line is “Simple”…! Do you believe what GOD… has said in His Word, or do you believe what Your Church Denomination… Says and Teaches? Some examples are “Sabbath Worship” and “Water Baptism for Salvation”. The Bible teaches that… Salvation is By God’s Grace and Mercy Alone…! Nothing More… Nothing Less. There is “NOTHING” you can do to Earn Salvation or even make yourself more righteous… it is the “Grace and Mercy of God”… “Alone!” Nothing can be added to it… nor take away from it.
(John 10:6-to-11) Jesus = spoke this parable = to them, = but = they did ‘not’ understand = what it was = which He = spoke to them.
(John 10:7) Then = Jesus said = to them again, = Truly, = truly, = I say to you, = I am the door = of the sheep.
(John 10:8) All = who came before = Me = are thieves and robbers, = but = the sheep = did not = hear them.
(John 10:9) I am = the door. = If = anyone enters in = by Me, = he shall = be saved = and = shall go in = and out = and find pasture.
(John 10:10) The thief = does not come = except to steal = and to kill = and to destroy. = I = have come = so that they = might have life, = and that = they might have it = more abundantly.
(John 10:11) I am = the Good Shepherd. = The Good Shepherd = lays down = His life = for the sheep.
Now ‘Please’ tell me… how ‘keeping the Sabbath’ or even ‘Water Baptism’… can save Anyone or even make anyone “More Righteous?” “They Can ‘NOT’!” Those are all… “Human Works”… and Not Divine Salvation… “Paid for by the Kings of King, Lord of Lords… the Lord Christ [Messiah] Jesus! Salvation is by Gods’ working through the Finished Work of Christ on the Cross! Nothing More… Nothing Less.
(John 19:30) Then = when Jesus = had received the sour wine, = He said, = It is finished! = And = He bowed His head = and = gave up the spirit.
(1Corinthains 5:7) Therefore = purge out the old leaven = so that you = may be a new lump, = as you are unleavened. = For also = “Christ [Messiah] our Passover” = is sacrificed = for us.
This term… “IT IS FINISHED”… in the NT Greek language of the Bible is an “Accounting Term.” Is simply means… “Paid in Full, for All Time!” Christ Jesus Sacrifice on the Cross and His resurrection from the Dead… “Totally Paid”… for all the “Sin/Sins”… of those that come to Him… “According to the Scriptures”… ‘Past’, ‘Present’ and ‘Future!’ All the Jewish Passover celebrations… simply pointed to this… “One Final Sacrifice for All!” Many today and past… have rejected… “Christ Jesus and His Finished Work”… by adding something to His Eternal Salvation!
(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 [Word] = 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 [Jesus] = will “Say” to them = I = ‘Never’ = knew you! = Depart from Me, = those working = lawlessness!
(2Corinthains 13:5) “Examine” = yourselves, = whether you = are in = the [True Biblical] Faith, = “Prove” = your own selves. = Do you = not know = your own selves, = that Jesus Christ [Romans 8:9] = is in you, = unless = you are reprobates?

Disclaimer: It is not my intent… to ‘demean’ nor to ‘discredit’… any religion or denomination or… “Person”. When I see an “Alternate Truth = displayed as = God’s Truth”… I am commanded by the “Scriptures”… to speak out about this. Please see, “Ezekiel 2:7” & “Jude 1:3-4”… and “Ezekiel 3:18-to-21”… “IF”, you believe the Bible. If you do “NOT”… believe the Bible… all this discussion will mean… ‘nothing to you’.
(1Corinthians 2:12-to-15) But we = have ‘not’ received = the spirit of the world, = but = the [Holy] Spirit from God, = so that we = ‘might know’ = the things = that are = freely given = to us by God.
(1Cor 2:13) These = ‘things/ = we also speak, = not in words = which man's wisdom teaches, = but which the Holy Spirit = teaches, = comparing spiritual things = with spiritual.
(1Cor 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.
(1Cor 2:15) But = he who is spiritual = judges “all” things, = yet = he himself = is judged by no one.
Here in America… there are many Christian Denominations as part of our American Culture. ‘Most’ are “NOT” True Biblical Christians. About now, there are ‘some’ reading this… who will be “Angered because of the”… “Bible Truth”… that I am going to share, from the Word of God. American Law and Justus Prudence is derived from our ‘Constitution and the Bill of Rights’. True Biblical Christianity is,,, “Solely Derived”… “Only from the Word of God, the Bible”… and ‘Not’… from some Church or some ‘Denominational’ teaching.
(Proverbs 14:12) There is = a way = which seems = right = to a man, = but = the ‘end’ of it = is the ways = of death.
(John 17:17) Sanctify them = through Your = Truth. = Your = Word = is Truth.
What do ‘you’ hold as “Truth”…? Simple Question, is it what ‘Your’ Church teaches… or what the Word of God, the Bible Teaches? When you… ‘Honestly Answer’… this question, you reveal what exactly you believe. IF… it is the “Right Belief”… then you are in tune with what God says in His Word. IF… it is the “Wrong Belief”… then it does NOT… Completely Agree with the Word of God. “Nothing More… Nothing Less!”
(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?

“Pseudo [False] Christians – 101”
“Pseudo [False] Christians – 101”
Perhaps just before… this discussion, it is best if I simply tell all of “YOU”… to first read “All” of these verses dealing with “False Christians”. Know this, that ‘all’ those that “SAY”… They are Christian are ‘Not’ necessarily so! No, I am not judging… but simply speaking [Ezekiel 2:7] ‘what’, God has already said in His Word, The Bible, The Truth of God, the God of the Bible, and Christ Jesus, the Messiah, Savior of all Mankind, Lord of Lords, and King of Kings! IF you ‘disagree’… Please, argue with His Word!
(Isaiah 8:20) To the law = and = to the testimony: = “IF” = ‘they’ = do “Not” speak = according to this = “WORD”, = it is because = there is = no light = in them.
(2Corinthains 11:13-14-15) 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.
(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 [Word] = of My Father [God] = 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 [Jesus] = will say to ‘them’ = I = “NEVER” = knew you! = Depart from Me, = those = working = lawlessness!
(Luke 6:26) Woe = to ‘You’ = when = ‘All’ men = shall speak well = of ‘You’! = For so = their fathers = did = to = the false prophets.
(Matthew 24:23-24-25) Then = if = ‘any’ man = shall say to you, = Lo, = here is Christ! = Or, There! = Do “NOT” = believe it.
(Matt 24:24) For = ‘False’ Christs’ = and = ‘False’ prophets = will arise = and = show great signs = and wonders [miracles]; = so much so = that, = ‘if’ = it were possible, = they would deceive = even = the elect.
(Matt 24:25) Behold, = I [Jesus] = have told = ‘you’ = beforehand.
(2Peter 2:1-2) But = there were also = ‘false’ prophets = among the people, = even as = there will be = ‘false’ teachers = among ‘you’, = who secretly = will bring in = damming heresies, = even = denying the Master [Jesus] = Who bought them, = bringing on themselves = swift destruction.
(2Pet 2:2) And = “MANY” = will follow = their pernicious ways, = and = because = of them = the way of “Truth” [The Bible] = will be = ‘evil’ = spoken of.
(1John 4:1) Beloved, = Do “NOT” = believe every spirit, = but = ‘try’ the spirits [Isaiah 8:20] = to see = ‘if’ = they are of God, = because = “MANY” = ‘false’ prophets = have gone out = into the world.
(1John 2:19-20-21) They [Pseudo Christians] = went ‘Out’ = from us, = but = they were “NOT” = of us; = for = “IF” = they were of us, = they would have = continued = with us. = But = they = went out = so = that it might be = “Revealed” = that they were = “NOT” = all = of us.
(1Jn 2:20) But you = have an Anointing = from = the Holy One, = and = you know = all things.
(1Jn 2:21) I have = ‘not’ written = to you = because = you = ‘do not’ know = the Truth, = but = because = you ‘know’ it, = and = know that = ‘NO LIE’ = is of = The “TRUTH”.
(Jude 1:3-4) Having made = ‘all’ = haste = to write to you = about = the common salvation, = beloved, = I = had ‘need’ = to write = to you = to ‘Exhort’ you = to “Contend Earnestly” = for = the “FAITH” = once delivered = to the saints.
(Jude 1:4) For = certain men = crept in ‘secretly’, = those = having been of old previously written into this condemnation, = ungodly ones = ‘perverting’ = the Grace of our God = for unbridled lust, = and ‘denying’ = the only Master, = God, = even our Lord = Jesus Christ.
(Luke 18:8) I [Jesus] = say to = ‘you’ = that He [God] = will avenge them = ‘speedily’. = Yet when = the Son of Man = comes, = shall He = find = [True Biblical] “FAITH” = on = the earth?
About now… someone is saying, “Just Who the ‘H**L’… do you think you are… to say… “Who is and Who is ‘Not’… A Christian?” Well, it is ‘Not’… I… but it is what… “God’s Word” says… Who is and Who is ‘Not!’ Perhaps if You will, take a section of ‘Scripture’, at a time, you will see what God says? Those that ‘do not’ believe, in the “Complete Authority” of the Bible, the “Word of God”… “DO NOT”… belong to God. Simple Enough…? Perhaps these Bible Verses… will help…?
(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 [Christ Jesus].
(1Corinthians 2:12-to-16) But = we have ‘not’ = received the spirit = of the world, = but = the “Spirit from God”, = so that = ‘we’ = might know = the things = that are freely = given to us = by God.
(1Cor 2:13) These = things = we also speak, = ‘not’ = in words = which man's wisdom teaches, = but = which = the “Holy Spirit” = ‘teaches’, = comparing spiritual things = with spiritual.
(1Cor 2:14) But the = “NATRURAL” = ‘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 [discerns] ‘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 [by the Holy Spirit and the Word of God].
(1John 2:20) But = ‘you’ = have an “anointing” [Holy Spirit] = from = the Holy One [God], = and = you ‘know’ = all things.
Simply put… by these verses, when ‘One’… is Born Again [from above]… by the Holy Spirit of God, that person receives, The Holy Spirit, and the ability to ‘know and understand’… the Word of God. Without that “Holy Spirit”… ‘eternally sealing’ that person… he or she ‘cannot’ understand the Word of God, The Bible. Oh yes, they can… like the Pharisees and Scribes and Lawyers of Jesus day… “take a mental assent”… but, they could ‘not’ even discern that… ‘Christ Jesus’ was the… “Promised Messiah!”
So it is today in America… that ‘Many’ simply say they are Christian… because it is a “Cultural Thing!” Surely if they live, in a county that has… ‘In God we trust’… on their money and they sing, “God bless America”… they must ‘all’ be Christian? Absolutely… “Not!” Read again those verses that stated out this blog, and tell me what Christ Jesus said about the… “MANY”… that called Him, Lord and did many wonderful things. He said… “I Never Knew You, that practice lawlessness.”
(John 16:13-14) Howbeit = when [John 7:38-39] = He, = the Spirit of Truth [The Holy Spirit], = is come, = He = will guide ‘you’ = into = all “Truth”: = for He = shall not speak = of Himself; = but = whatsoever He shall hear, = that shall He speak: = and = He = will show you = things to come.
(John 16:14) He [The Holy Spirit] = shall glorify Me [Jesus]: = for He = shall receive of Mine, = and shall show it = unto you.
Once Again… When ‘One’… is Born Again by the Holy Spirit of God… the Bible becomes ‘Alive’ to that one… because the Holy Spirit… reveals God’s Truth… found in God’s Word. The Bible, the Word of God… has God’s Revealed Truth… to be taught by “God’s Holy Spirit”… to the Believer, “Who” is sealed with God’s Holy Spirit. For example, there is an Indian [the country] dialect called “Urdu”. You cannot read its writing nor speak its words… till you know “Urdu”. It is the same with God’s Spiritual Truth… you cannot ‘know & understand’ it… till God’s Holy Spirit… reveals it to You!
(John 6:63-to-66) It is = the [Holy] Spirit = that makes ‘alive’, = the flesh = profits nothing. = The Words = that = I [Jesus] = speak to you = are Spirit = and = are Life.
(John 6:64) But = there are = “SOME” = of ‘you’ = who = do ‘not’ believe. = For Jesus knew = from the beginning = ‘who’ = they were = who = did ‘not’ believe, = and = who is the one = betraying Him.
(John 6:65) And = He said, = Because of this = I = said to you = that = “NO” One = can come = to Me [Jesus] = unless it was given = to him = from = My Father [God].
(John 6:66) From this time = “MANY” = of His disciples = went back into = the things behind, = and = walked = ‘no’ more = with Him.
Pretty Strong Words… from the God Man, the Son of God! Yet they are Truth. The “MANY” are here today too. If Satan can disguise himself as an angel of light and his ministers disguise themselves…. Just How “Many”… are like them? Turn on any Christian Radio or TV Channel and you will see and hear, some of them. The “KEY”… that unlocks this deception is simply… “The Holy Word of God!” Church or Religious doctrine and teaching that ‘Does Not’… “One Hundred Percent”… agree with the Word of God… is part and parcel of the Lie from Satan. Jesus prayed this prayer… to God… for ‘those’… that are His. Simply read ‘all’ of John chapter “17”.
(John 17:17) Sanctify them = through = Your = Truth. = Your Word = is Truth.
(Psalms 138:2) I = will worship = toward = Your holy temple, = and = praise = Your Name = for = Your loving-kindness = and for = Your “Truth's” sake; = for = You [God] = have magnified = Your “Word” = above ‘all’ = Your Name.
When someone is ‘Religious’… they will ‘NOT’ validate the “Truth of the Bible”. It is because they ‘Do Not’ have God’s Holy Spirit… validating it for them as… “God’s Truth!” ‘Many’ place their Church teaching ‘above & before’ the Word of God. Still ‘Many’ more… know ‘About’ God… without knowing Him, personally, because God’s Holy Spirit… ‘Does Not’… live within them. “IF” you do not have a hunger for the Spiritual Truth of the Word of God, “THEN”, perhaps it is because you are ‘not really’ a Biblical Christian and do not have God’s Holy Spirit… revealing… His Truth…?
(Romans 8:11-to-17) But if = the Spirit [Holy] = of the One = Who raised up Jesus = from the dead = dwells in you, = the One = Who raised up Christ = from the dead = “Shall Also” = make your mortal bodies = “Alive” = by His Spirit = Who = dwells in you.
(Rom 8:12) Therefore, = brothers, = we are not debtors = to the flesh, = to live according = to the flesh.
(Rom 8:13) For = if = you live = according to the flesh, = you shall ‘Die’. = But = “if” you = through the [Holy] Spirit = mortify the deeds [works] = of the body, = you = shall live.
(Rom 8:14) For as = “MANY” = as are led = by the Spirit of God, = they are = the sons = of God.
(Rom 8:15) For ‘you’ = have ‘not’ = received the spirit of bondage = again to “Fear”, = but ‘you’ = Have ‘received’ = the [Holy] Spirit of adoption = by which = ‘we’ cry, = Abba [daddy], = Father [God]!
(Rom 8:16) The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God.
(Rom 8:17) And = ‘if’ = we are children, = then = we ‘are’ heirs; = heirs of God = and = joint-heirs = with Christ; = so that = ‘if’ = we suffer with Him [Jesus], = we may ‘also’ = be glorified = together.
Prayer: “Father God”… I have always thought I was a Christian, but I never understood Your Word, the Bible. I mocked when ‘others’ used it and I considered a weapon, when other quoted it to me. Lord God, You alone know my heart and mind and soul. The very best I know how… I ask to be Your Child… and thank you for Christ Jesus dying in my place… for my “Sin/Sins”. I thank You for Your Mercy and Your Grace to me… who deserves only death. Lead me into Your Word and ‘grow’ me up, as Your Child, I humbly ask this… in Jesus’ Name and for Your Glory…! Amen & Amen!

Perhaps just before… this discussion, it is best if I simply tell all of “YOU”… to first read “All” of these verses dealing with “False Christians”. Know this, that ‘all’ those that “SAY”… They are Christian are ‘Not’ necessarily so! No, I am not judging… but simply speaking [Ezekiel 2:7] ‘what’, God has already said in His Word, The Bible, The Truth of God, the God of the Bible, and Christ Jesus, the Messiah, Savior of all Mankind, Lord of Lords, and King of Kings! IF you ‘disagree’… Please, argue with His Word!
(Isaiah 8:20) To the law = and = to the testimony: = “IF” = ‘they’ = do “Not” speak = according to this = “WORD”, = it is because = there is = no light = in them.
(2Corinthains 11:13-14-15) 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.
(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 [Word] = of My Father [God] = 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 [Jesus] = will say to ‘them’ = I = “NEVER” = knew you! = Depart from Me, = those = working = lawlessness!
(Luke 6:26) Woe = to ‘You’ = when = ‘All’ men = shall speak well = of ‘You’! = For so = their fathers = did = to = the false prophets.
(Matthew 24:23-24-25) Then = if = ‘any’ man = shall say to you, = Lo, = here is Christ! = Or, There! = Do “NOT” = believe it.
(Matt 24:24) For = ‘False’ Christs’ = and = ‘False’ prophets = will arise = and = show great signs = and wonders [miracles]; = so much so = that, = ‘if’ = it were possible, = they would deceive = even = the elect.
(Matt 24:25) Behold, = I [Jesus] = have told = ‘you’ = beforehand.
(2Peter 2:1-2) But = there were also = ‘false’ prophets = among the people, = even as = there will be = ‘false’ teachers = among ‘you’, = who secretly = will bring in = damming heresies, = even = denying the Master [Jesus] = Who bought them, = bringing on themselves = swift destruction.
(2Pet 2:2) And = “MANY” = will follow = their pernicious ways, = and = because = of them = the way of “Truth” [The Bible] = will be = ‘evil’ = spoken of.
(1John 4:1) Beloved, = Do “NOT” = believe every spirit, = but = ‘try’ the spirits [Isaiah 8:20] = to see = ‘if’ = they are of God, = because = “MANY” = ‘false’ prophets = have gone out = into the world.
(1John 2:19-20-21) They [Pseudo Christians] = went ‘Out’ = from us, = but = they were “NOT” = of us; = for = “IF” = they were of us, = they would have = continued = with us. = But = they = went out = so = that it might be = “Revealed” = that they were = “NOT” = all = of us.
(1Jn 2:20) But you = have an Anointing = from = the Holy One, = and = you know = all things.
(1Jn 2:21) I have = ‘not’ written = to you = because = you = ‘do not’ know = the Truth, = but = because = you ‘know’ it, = and = know that = ‘NO LIE’ = is of = The “TRUTH”.
(Jude 1:3-4) Having made = ‘all’ = haste = to write to you = about = the common salvation, = beloved, = I = had ‘need’ = to write = to you = to ‘Exhort’ you = to “Contend Earnestly” = for = the “FAITH” = once delivered = to the saints.
(Jude 1:4) For = certain men = crept in ‘secretly’, = those = having been of old previously written into this condemnation, = ungodly ones = ‘perverting’ = the Grace of our God = for unbridled lust, = and ‘denying’ = the only Master, = God, = even our Lord = Jesus Christ.
(Luke 18:8) I [Jesus] = say to = ‘you’ = that He [God] = will avenge them = ‘speedily’. = Yet when = the Son of Man = comes, = shall He = find = [True Biblical] “FAITH” = on = the earth?
About now… someone is saying, “Just Who the ‘H**L’… do you think you are… to say… “Who is and Who is ‘Not’… A Christian?” Well, it is ‘Not’… I… but it is what… “God’s Word” says… Who is and Who is ‘Not!’ Perhaps if You will, take a section of ‘Scripture’, at a time, you will see what God says? Those that ‘do not’ believe, in the “Complete Authority” of the Bible, the “Word of God”… “DO NOT”… belong to God. Simple Enough…? Perhaps these Bible Verses… will help…?
(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 [Christ Jesus].
(1Corinthians 2:12-to-16) But = we have ‘not’ = received the spirit = of the world, = but = the “Spirit from God”, = so that = ‘we’ = might know = the things = that are freely = given to us = by God.
(1Cor 2:13) These = things = we also speak, = ‘not’ = in words = which man's wisdom teaches, = but = which = the “Holy Spirit” = ‘teaches’, = comparing spiritual things = with spiritual.
(1Cor 2:14) But the = “NATRURAL” = ‘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 [discerns] ‘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 [by the Holy Spirit and the Word of God].
(1John 2:20) But = ‘you’ = have an “anointing” [Holy Spirit] = from = the Holy One [God], = and = you ‘know’ = all things.
Simply put… by these verses, when ‘One’… is Born Again [from above]… by the Holy Spirit of God, that person receives, The Holy Spirit, and the ability to ‘know and understand’… the Word of God. Without that “Holy Spirit”… ‘eternally sealing’ that person… he or she ‘cannot’ understand the Word of God, The Bible.

“USA – The ‘Final’ Solution – 101”…Blog.
What was the “Final Solution”…? If you are a history buff, you understand what it is. It was the Nazi elimination of the Jewish population in Europe during WW2. The history channel has just published a new World War series in HD about this, and it is worth seeing. I thank ‘God, the God of the Bible… that I was not part of that war and all its ‘atrocities’. A reading of the Nuremburg Trials of war criminals is good reading, as the “Excuses” are revealed as… ‘We were just… doing our job… what we were told to do as Soldiers!’
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Final_Solution
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremburg_Trials
So just why… did I start this discussion and ‘how’ does it relate to “America?” The testimony of those, living around the concentration camps… simply said… “We did ‘Not’ Know what was going on. I lived in Japan for two years. Two nights a week, one could smell the burning flesh exhaust from the crematories. It is a ‘smell’… that no one ‘ever’ forgets. So too, those outside of those concentration camps… “Knew”… what was going on.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_concentration_camps
http://www.qualityinformationpublishers.com/naziconcentrationcamppictures.aspx
A conservative estimate… is that somewhere between 10-to-15 million persons were killed as a result of "Nazi Extermination". Approximately 6-to-8-million were Jews and many other Jewish supporters we also killed. Every time I see those pictures… I lose my composure and break down and cry. Have you ever spent some time… studying this atrocity and its result? One Christmas season… I spent 9-hours viewing a video call… “Shoah.” It is a first person narration by a Jewish boy of 13, “Claude Lanzmann”, who now is an older adult.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOR1wUqvJS4
Ok, so ‘what’ has this… to do with America…? We here in America… have stood by and said “Nothing”… as over “50-Million ‘Innocent’ Babies”… were “Killed”… in their Mother’s Womb by Abortion. That number is American Abortions only. Those are ‘not’ my facts, but those taken from Planned Parenthood [Planned Murder-hood]. Margaret Sanger, the founder of PP, went to Nazi Germany… and brought back the ‘Nazi’ philosophy about Eugenics. The selection of… ‘who was & who was not’… to live, is based on a social, racial and economic… profile.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYRpIf2F9NA
Are ‘YOU’, sick to your stomach yet…? We here in America have “Exported” this technology and ‘corrupt’ medical procedures, to other nations. It is bad enough that America exports more Pornography, than ‘any’ other nation, but we follow it up with the… “Killing”… of the ‘Unwanted Children’. More, have been killed by “Abortion”… than by the World Wars, in countries throughout this planet… of “Supposed – Intelligent Humans? And still the killing goes and… and there is NO Crying for those “Innocent Babies”… Murdered by their Mothers!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXAeQbd2Wnw
(Genesis 4:10) And = He [God] = said, = What have ‘you’ done? = The voice = of your brother's = ‘blood’ = cries to Me from the ground.
What can I say…? Unless, ‘You’ are… Speaking out for the Unborn Innocent… who are to be Murdered… then “YOU”… are ‘no’ different, than those who, “Silently”, lived outside of the Concentration Camps during WW2. Say it isn’t So…? Are you so ‘indifferent’, about those… “Innocent Babies”… ‘who’ are about to lose their lives… that ‘YOU’… Will… “Keep Silent?”
(Amos 4:10) = I [God] = have sent the plague = among you = in the way of Egypt; = I = have slain your ‘young men’ = with the sword [war], = and = have taken away = your horses [economy]. = And = I = have made = the stink = of your camps [cities] = to come up = into your nostrils; = yet = ‘you’ = have not returned = to Me, = says Jehovah [God].
Do you think… our “Failing” American economy… is just bad planning? Economic decisions are being now, in and by our Government… that will not only affect us now… but future generations to come. It will ‘NOT’… get better and ‘no’ amount of Government Bailout… can turn this “thing” around! It is all a “Spiritual” problem… that has extended temporal ramifications. You haven’t seen the worst of it… ‘that’… is still to come! “Exodus 20:13 You Shall Not Murder Innocent Life!
(Galatians 6:7-8) Do not = be = ‘deceived’, = God = is not = ‘mocked’. = For whatever = a man plants, = that he = also = will reap.
(Gal 6:8) For = he = sowing to his flesh = will reap corruption = from the flesh. = But he = sowing to the Spirit = will reap = life everlasting = from = the Spirit.
(Ecclesiastes 12:13-14) Let us = hear = the conclusion = of the whole matter. = Fear God, = and = keep = His commandments. = For this is = the whole duty = of man.
(Ecc 12:14) For God = shall bring = every work = into judgment, = with every = secret thing, = whether it is good, = or = whether evil.
What ‘can’ you do “Now”…? Will you ‘today’… speak out for the “Innocent Unborn”… that are being “Killed”… ‘Every Day & Night’… in the Abortion Clinics…? Write the President, Write your Congressman, Write your Senators. Speak to your Friends, post on your Blog or on Face Book, Twitter or any Other site you visit… ‘But’…. “SPEAK OUT”…!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came...
First… they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a communist;
Then… they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist;
Then… they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist;
Then… they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew;
Then… they came for “ME”—and there was ‘no one’ left… to speak out for me.
Will YOU… Speak Out… for the Unborn Innocent Children… who are about to be Killed… the Planned Parenthood… “Chambers of Death”…?

More, have been killed by “Abortion”… than by the World Wars, in countries throughout this planet… of “Supposed – Intelligent Humans? And still the killing goes and… and there is NO Crying for those “Innocent Babies”… Murdered by their Mothers!

(Genesis 4:10) And = He [God] = said, = What have ‘you’ done? = The voice = of your brother's = ‘blood’ = cries to Me from the ground.
What can I say…? Unless, ‘You’ are… Speaking out for the Unborn Innocent… who are to be Murdered… then “YOU”… are ‘no’ different, than those who, “Silently”, lived outside of the Concentration Camps during WW2. Say it isn’t So…? Are you so ‘indifferent’, about those… “Innocent Babies”… ‘who’ are about to lose their lives… that ‘YOU’… Will… “Keep Silent?”
(Amos 4:10) = I [God] = have sent the plague = among you = in the way of Egypt; = I = have slain your ‘young men’ = with the sword [war], = and = have taken away = your horses [economy]. = And = I = have made = the stink = of your camps [cities] = to come up = into your nostrils; = yet = ‘you’ = have not returned = to Me, = says Jehovah [God].
Do you think… our “Failing” American economy… is just bad planning? Economic decisions are being now, in and by our Government… that will not only affect us now… but future generations to come. It will ‘NOT’… get better and ‘no’ amount of Government Bailout… can turn this “thing” around! It is all a “Spiritual” problem… that has extended temporal ramifications. You haven’t seen the worst of it… ‘that’… is still to come! “Exodus 20:13 You Shall Not Murder Innocent Life!
(Galatians 6:7-8) Do not = be = ‘deceived’, = God = is not = ‘mocked’. = For whatever = a man plants, = that he = also = will reap.
(Gal 6:8) For = he = sowing to his flesh = will reap corruption = from the flesh. = But he = sowing to the Spirit = will reap = life everlasting = from = the Spirit.
(Ecclesiastes 12:13-14) Let us = hear = the conclusion = of the whole matter. = Fear God, = and = keep = His commandments. = For this is = the whole duty = of man.
(Ecc 12:14) For God = shall bring = every work = into judgment, = with every = secret thing, = whether it is good, = or = whether evil.
What ‘can’ you do “Now”…? Will you ‘today’… speak out for the “Innocent Unborn”… that are being “Killed”… ‘Every Day & Night’… in the Abortion Clinics…? Write the President, Write your Congressman, Write your Senators. Speak to your Friends, post on your Blog or on Face Book, Twitter or any Other site you visit… ‘But’…. “SPEAK OUT”…!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came...
First… they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a communist;
Then… they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist;
Then… they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist;
Then… they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew;
Then… they came for “ME”—and there was ‘no one’ left… to speak out for me.
Will YOU… Speak Out… for the Unborn Innocent Children… who are about to be Killed… the Planned Parenthood… “Chambers of Death”…?

“Whose ‘Truth’ – 101”…Blog.
“Whose ‘Truth’ – 101”…Blog.
This week… I have done ‘several’ postings, with comments about what someone said on Face Book. Often times, it is about… ‘What is or is not’… to be ‘believed’ about God and how He works with His children. Many have simply taken what they have been ‘told’ or have learned… without “FIRST”… testing it with what, God has said in His Word, The Bible. I ‘never’ believe anyone right off, but go to see what… God has said… “First?”
(Luke 4:3-4) And the devil = said unto = Him, = If = You be = the Son of God, = command this stone = that it = be made bread.
(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.
Here Satan… not ‘only’ questioned the validity of ‘Who’, Christ Jesus really was… but also ‘purposely’ left out… what God had ‘said’… in His Word. So too… I find many Pseudo Christians… substituting what God has said in His Word… with “Other” thoughts and wrong teachings. If we ‘really’ are His child… then should we not ‘First’… put His Word, His Thoughts, His Principles… above “All other Things?” Or is it that… we ‘really’ don’t believe… what the Bible say about, God’s Truth.
(1Corinthians 3:19) For = the wisdom = of this world is = ‘foolishness’ = with God; = for = it is written, = "He takes = the wise = in their own = craftiness."
We ‘all’ are going… to have problems and difficult situations to endure in this ‘fallen world.’ Just “HOW” we address those problems and situations… is the discussion here. Recently someone said… “Tell your ‘problems’ that you have to a God… ‘bigger’ than the Problems”. You may find such teaching like this on ‘Pseudo’ Christian Radio and TV. The “Falsely” proclaim that we have all authority over our problems. This ‘false teaching’… is prevalent among those that do not… ‘read & study… the Word of God. Are there any Bible verses that tell us to… ‘Talk to our problems?’ Absolutely… “Not!”
(Job 5:6-7-8) For affliction = does ‘not’ = come forth = from the dust, = nor = does trouble = spring up = out of the ground;
(Job 5:7) but = man = is born = to trouble, = as = the sparks = fly upward.
(Job 5:8) Truly, = I would seek = to God, = and = to God = I would put = my plea,
(Job 2:9-10) And = his wife = said to him, = Do you = ‘still’ = hold to = your integrity? = Curse God = and = die!
(Job 2:10) But = he [Job] = 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.
To ‘Whom’ did Job… account what had happened to him? Or from ‘where’ did these ‘afflictions and troubles’ come from? He knew that they came from and through… “God!” Many simply don’t know, or haven even forgotten… about the “Curse”… given to our existence, through the rebellion of Adam & Eve… to God’s commands. Perhaps a reading of the book of Genesis, the first 4 chapters, will clear much of this confusion.
(Hebrews 4:15-16) For we = do ‘not’ have = a high priest [Jesus] = Who = ‘cannot’ be touched = with the feelings = of our ‘infirmities’, = but = was in all points = tempted just as we are, = yet without sin.
(Heb 4:16) Therefore = let us = come ‘boldly’ = to = the throne of grace, = that we = may = obtain = mercy = and = find grace = to help = in time of need.
(2Corinthians 12:8-9) For this thing = I begged the Lord = three times, = that it might = depart = from me.
(2Cor 12:9) And He = said unto me, = My ‘grace’ = is sufficient for you: = for My strength = is made perfect = in weakness. = Most gladly therefore = will I rather = glory in my infirmities, = that the power of Christ = ‘may’ = rest upon me.
How about “You”…? Do you ‘talk’ to your problems, or do you go to God’s Throne of Grace… and ask God for His mercy and grace? Actually in the Greek New Testament… Hebrews 4:16… is a “Direct Command!” Don’t you believe God and His Word…? Even the apostle Paul… through the Holy Spirit… went to God for His Grace, knowing that God would be glorified in the things he suffered. Are ‘you’ better than Paul and the Word… that ‘you’ have to… talk to your problems?
(Acts 17:11) And = these = were more noble = than those of Thessalonica, = in ‘that’ = they received = the “Word” [of God] = with ‘all’ readiness = of mind = and = ‘searched’ = the “Scriptures” = ‘daily’ = to see “if” = those things = were so.
Please understand… I am ‘not’… accusing nor excusing… that mindset… that ‘Excludes’ what God has already said in His Word, The Bible. How many times have you listened to a sermon or teaching… and believed ‘every’ word? I can honestly and openly say… as a new Christian.. I had ‘no’ such discernment or learning. Often times, people gravitate to a teacher… that ‘seems’ on the outside, valid. But is it… ‘Really?’ Perhaps you can see what… “Isaiah 8:20”… says?
(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?
This week on Face Book… I saw a poll. “Do you believe in Jesus?” Many a time, I ‘hate’ those ‘lying’ polls for they do ‘not’ qualify the question. To that question… You and I… should Ask, “Which Jesus?” I do believe in the Christ Jesus of the Bible, the Messiah both to the Jew and the Gentile. This Jesus, Who is both the son of man… and God incarnate. That is the Jesus I believe in, the Jesus of the Bible. Even the Bible speaks about two other ‘Jesus’. Simply see…“Collisions 4:11 & 2Corinthians 11:4”
(1Thessalonian 5:21) Prove = ‘All’ = things, = hold fast = to the good.
(Psalms 119:130) The entrance = of “Your Words” = gives light; = it gives = ‘understanding’ = to = the simple.
Many answered that question… and said ‘Yes.’ Those Muslims, ‘have’ another Jesus, who is “NOT” the same Christ Jesus of the Bible, as they do not believe that He is God. The Jehovah witnesses have another Jesus, who is “NOT” the same Christ Jesus of the Bible, as they do not believe that He is God. The Mormons ‘have’ another Jesus who is the Brother of Lucifer… who is “NOT” the same Christ Jesus of the Bible. Do you need to see more, or is that enough for me to make my point? Which Jesus do you… believe in?
(Luke 21:24) And = they shall fall by the sword's edge. = And = shall be led away captive = into all nations. = And = Jerusalem = shall be trodden down = by the nations = until = “the times of the nations” = is fulfilled.
Perhaps that is why… ‘National Polling Data’… “Wrongly”… states that 80% of the People believe in God. As the time of the ages comes to an end… more and more deception will be disseminated among the people. But shouldn’t it be different among those that… “Know, Christ Jesus”… as their Savior and Lord? Aren’t we suppose to… “Know the Truth?” How about you, personally, do you take everything said… without question? Americans have been so… ‘Dumb Down’… that they believe ‘almost’ anything!
(John 8:32) And = you = shall know = the ‘Truth’, = and = the ‘Truth’ = shall = make you = free.
(1John 2:20-21) But = you = have an anointing [The Holy Spirit] = from = the Holy One [God], = and = you know all things.
(1Jn 2:21) I = have ‘not’ = written to you = because = you = do ‘not’ know = the ‘Truth, = but = because = you know it, = and = know that = No Lie = is of = the ‘Truth.
Did you do Laundry… this week? I do my own laundry and on special occasions have to take some ‘suit coat’ to the dry cleaners. My regular laundry, I use whatever detergent and bleach that is on sale. I always use ‘fabric softener’ to remove the remaining soap residue. Dry cleaning is something different. They use a chemical, “Perchloroethylene”, which is an EPA registered toxic chemical on their “303 Hazardous Chemical list.” It removes ‘all and any’ residue from the fabric, leaving only the virgin fabric. It is what ‘moth balls’ are made of.
That is an “Analogy”… for the Word of God. It takes out… “All Lies”… and leaves… ‘Only the Truth!’
(John 17:17) Sanctify them = through ‘Your’ Truth. = Your = “Word” = is Truth.
(John 15:3) Now = you = are ‘clean’ = through = the Word = which = I [Jesus] = have spoken = to you.
About now… some may begin to think. that I have wandered off track. What I am trying to communicate to you… is that how very precious… the Holy Word of God… is to His Children. IF you know Him… Then ‘You’ must… “know”… His Word. Surely you know what you do at work and how it must be done, ‘Right?’ Or you keep a household and what you must ‘do’ to maintain that domiciliary? So too it is for the Child of God… You must ‘Know His Word’… “To Know Him!”
(1Samuel 3:21) And = Jehovah [God] = appeared again = in Shiloh. = For = Jehovah = revealed Himself = to Samuel = in Shiloh = by = the “Word” = of Jehovah.
(2Timothy 2:15) ‘Study’ earnestly = to present = ‘yourself’ = approved = to God, = a workman = that does ‘not’ need = to be ashamed, = ‘rightly’ dividing = the Word of Truth.
“Stinking Thinking”… is what the ‘World’ gives us about our… ‘trials and problems’. As a child of God… isn’t about time… you relied on God and what He has said in His Word, the Bible? The next time you have a situation… simply ask God… for His Wisdom… from His Word. It will come to you, as you ‘read & study’ His Word. You either go to God, His Word, His ‘mercy & grace’… or …you listen to the ‘False Teaching’… that tell you… “To Talk to your Problems?”
(Ephesians 5:8-9-10) For = ‘you’ = were once darkness, =but =now you are light = in the Lord; = walk as = children of light
(Eph 5:9) for = the fruit of the Spirit = is in ‘all’ = goodness = and = righteousness = and = ‘Truth’,
(Eph 5:10) ‘Proving’ = ‘what’ = is acceptable = to the Lord.
(Psalms 119:105) NUN: = Your = ‘Word’ = is a lamp = to my feet, = and = a light = to = my path.
