“Ashamed – 101”…Blog.



Dear = ‘Name Withheld’…


*** (Romans 1:16-17) For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
(Rom 1:17) For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith, as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."

I wondered why… you share with me the remarks people made to you, because I posted the Holy Word of God, on your Fact Book Posts? I cannot imagine that a ‘Real Christian’ would be offended by the Word of God. But of course ‘many’ today call themselves Christian and are really not. Here in America… Christianity has become a ‘Cultural Religion’… and ‘Not’ one of practice and obedience… to the Word of God.

"NO”… Real Christian... ‘Fears’, the Word of God... “Unless”… ‘they are’… Out of … “Obedience & Fellowship” …with ‘GOD’… and with “His Word”...!"


*** (Micah 2:7) House of Jacob, it is said, The Spirit of Jehovah is limited, if these are His doings. Do not My words do good to him who walks uprightly?

*** (Ephesians 5:27) that He might present it to Himself as the glorious church, without spot or wrinkle or any such things, but that it should be holy and without blemish.

There are many… religious applications here on Face Book. One is… ‘What God wants you to know!’ It is by far the Worst. Many of the saying and ditties are not Truth… and cannot be validated by the Word of God. That one and many others substitute the Word of God… with religious sayings… that are not Biblically Sound in their teaching. A simple Counterfeit… that is un-discerned by the unlearned and ignorant take as truth. Many do not really want to know what the Word of God means or says… about any subject. And yet they only say… I Love Jesus… but leave out saying… “I Love His Word!”

*** (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 have magnified Your Word above all Your name.


God, the God of the Bible… has set His Word… “Above His Name!”

1. Elohim… “God” His power and might… Genesis 1:1 & Psalms 19:1.

2. El-Elyon… “Most High God... Gen 14:17-20, Isaiah 14:13-14.

3. El Olam… “The Everlasting God”… Isaiah 40:28-31.

4. El Roi… “The Strong One that sees”… Genesis 16:13.

5. El Shaddi… “God Almighty”… Genesis 17:1 & Psalms 91:3.

6. Adonai… “Lord”, the Lordship of God… Malachi 1:16.

7. Jehovah… “(Yahweh) The Lord, God’s Eternal Nature… Genesis 2”4.

8. Jehovah-Jireh… “The Lord will provide”… Genesis 22:13-14.

9. Jehovah-Maccaddeshem… “The Lord your sanctifier”… Exodus 31:13.

10. Jehovah-Nissi… ‘The Lord our banner”… Exodus 17:15.

11. Jehovah-Rapha… “The Lord our healer”… Exodus 15:26.

12. Jehovah-Rohi… “The Lord my shepherd”… Psalms 23:1.

13. Jehovah-Sabboah… “The Lord of Hosts”… Isaiah 6:1-to-3.

14. Jehovah-Shalom… “The Lord is peace”… Judges 6:24.

15. Jehovah-Shammah… “The Lord Who is present”… Ezekiel 48:35.

16. Jehovay-Tsidkenu… “The Lord our righteousness… Jeremiah 23:6

17. I AM… “The Lord Eternal”… Exodus 3:12-15.

There are a few… of the Names of God, found in His Word. Yet He has set His Word… above His Name! There are many more...!

People ‘Only’… want to hear the positive message of the Gospel and not the negative. That is what is called an “Unbalanced Gospel”. Verse by verse, Chapter by chapter… the Bible admonishes Sin… more than it speaks about Blessing. Even in the NT… the Scripture speak to the Sin in the Churches… more than the good they are doing. So today, in a survey of ten thousand Pastors, Bible School and Seminary Professors… “Only about One Third = Believed in the Complete Authority of the Bible = for those that say they are Christians. Where does that leadership… leave the average believer… when the leadership does not believe God and His Word?

*** (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."

*** (Isaiah 28:13) But the Word of Jehovah was to them precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken and snared and taken.

Perhaps allow me… to ask a simple question. “Is this world getting better or worse = because of the Witness of those that call themselves… Christian?” Is America getting better or worse = because of the Witness of those that call themselves Christian? Is what one hears in the Media about Christianity… from the Christian Programming… More or Less… Bible? Is the Bible being upheld by the Christians… or do most ‘not’ even know their Bibles…?

*** (Luke 17:26) And as it was in the days of Noah, so it also shall be in the days of the Son of Man.

*** (Isaiah 24:1-2) Behold, Jehovah empties the land and makes it bare, and distorts its face, and scatters its inhabitants.
(Isa 24:2) And as it is with the people, so it shall be with the priest; as with the servant, so with the master; as with the handmaid, so it is with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the creditor, so with the debtor.

Each year… the president gives a “State of the Union Message.” Yet, when was the last time you heard a message from the Pulpit or in the Christian Media… about the State of the Church of Christ Jesus…? How was it in the days of Noah? Simple Answer… Wickedness covered the face of the Earth… and God destroyed mankind… save for Noah and his family. How then is America and the Church… getting Better and Not Worse…? To shut one’s eyes to the condition of the Church… is to not want to know, the Word of God!

*** (Amos 8:11) Behold, the days come, says the Lord Jehovah, that I will send a famine in the land; not a famine of bread nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the Words of Jehovah.

*** (Mark 10:11-12) So he said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.
(Mark 10:12) And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery."

*** (Luke 16:17-18) However, it is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for one stroke of a letter in the law to be dropped.
(Luke 16:18) Any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery."

There are more… divorces and adulterous remarriages… among Professing Christians… than among unbelievers. What does that say for the ‘Spiritual Condition’… of those that call the Blessed Name of Jesus…? How come many that call His Name… never read and study His Word and yet say that they Love Jesus? How can one love Jesus and… “Not Love His Word = as He is the Living Word?” Please tell me… of those you know… How Many… read and study His Word… daily?

*** (2Corinthians 4:16) For this cause we do not faint; but though our outward man perishes, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.

*** (1Peter 2:2-3) desire the sincere milk of the Word, as newborn babes, so that you may grow by it;
(1Pet 2:3) if truly you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

*** (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.

If someone gets upset… by the posting of the Word of God… that leads me to Believe… that person “Does NOT Know”… the Author of the Word of God, Christ Jesus… Lord of Lords… King of Kings! Once again… how can one say the ‘Love Jesus’… and then “Not Love His Word?” How can one say they Love Jesus… and then “Not Obey = His Word”…? Simply ask yourself and others that question!

*** (James 1:22) Keep on being doers of the word, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves.

*** (Luke 6:46) "Why do you keep calling Me [Jesus] 'Lord, Lord,' but don't do what I tell you?

*** (Ezekiel 2:7) And you shall speak My Words to them, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear, for they are rebellious.

*** (1Corinthians 2:14) But the = natural man = does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are = foolishness = to him; neither can he = know = them, because they are spiritually discerned.

*****
(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. = [Psalms 119:18 & 1Samuel 3:21 & Deuteronomy 29:29]

“Ugly – 101” …Blog.

“Ugly – 101” …Blog.



Recently someone asked me… “Why am I so Ugly?” Today because of the ‘Media’ and ‘Videos’ and the ‘Internet’… we are overloaded; with the visual. Many times we ‘wrongly’ compare ourselves with others. Remember the movie, “Cool Hand Luke?” Here is a song from that movie, and like most Media, they always portray the “Wrong Idea” about the God of the Bible. Too much Media input just makes one just plain… “Stupid!” We fail to reason logically and with common sense.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHf7TD4qwjk  


What is “Real Beauty”…? Is it because one looks like a Hollywood Star? Is it being the ‘Perfect 10?’ Or is it something else…? BTY… who is the real judge of what is Beauty? Did you know in the days of Rome and still today, “Overweight People” are deemed Beautiful. Even in most of Europe, beauty was not historically measured as we measure beauty today, by the Hollywood Standards. Plastic Surgery… has given a new dimension to what is ‘Beauty’ and what is… ‘Plain!’

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCuiN2JnjpE


Too many spend too much… time being exposed to the Media. We have become a nation of… “Addicts to Opinions of Others!” Doesn’t anyone; think for themselves anymore? Since when do we have to meet the physical expectations of the Media? Simply remember the words of the ‘Mother of Forest Gump’… “Stupid is as Stupid Does!” Even programs like… “Ugly Betty” and “The Biggest Looser”… have taken their place in the Media. Simply, Stop Believing what you see and hear in the… “Media!”

*** (Exodus 4:11) And Jehovah said to him, Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? Have not I, Jehovah?

*** (John 9:3) Jesus answered, Neither has this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God might be revealed in him.

God, the God of the Bible… has ordained our physical attributes when we were being formed. It is part of the genetic makeup of mankind. No one of us gets to choose their parents; nor can do anything realistically to change our body type or physical structure. I still remember the jokes that adolescent tell each other; often to hurt one another. Do you want to lose 10-pounds of ugly fat? Yes…! Then cut off your head! Do you realize the truth in that silly statement? It is not the Fat or the Ugly… but HOW One comprehends one’s… “Self”…in their Mind!

*** (1Samuel 16:7) But Jehovah said to Samuel, Do not look on his face, nor on his height, because I have refused him. For He, does not see as man sees. For man looks on the outward appearance, but Jehovah looks on the heart.

*** (1Peter 3:4) Instead, it should be the inner disposition of the heart, consisting in the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great value in the sight of God.

How many of us… try and develop our inner character…? Many times, we are so tied to the opinions of others that we develop… “Stink-en Think-en!” We become slaves to the opinions and whims of others. A very long time ago, I came to the realization that I could not please everybody, nor would I even try to. Simply remember; Opinions are like Armpits, each have two and they are… sometimes, ‘Stinky!’ Simply do what is… Right & True… in God’s sight!

*** (2Corinthians 10:12) For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

If we are not wise… then we are… “Stupid or Foolish!” Remember that is a ‘Choice’ and the “ONE”; that we make ourselves! Measure yourself with another and you will always come up short. “Roger Bannister” was the first man to run a “Four Minute Mile”. Many thought that it was physically impossible. But within six months, two others had run that same mile in a like time. The battle was in the mind and heart.

*** (Proverbs 4:23) Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

*** (Philippians 2:5) For let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,

If you are… a Child of God, being Born Again by His Holy Spirit… do you think your physical makeup matters to God? He has ordained your physical body, type, skin, hair [or lack thereof] and all your physical features. But perhaps you have over eaten, that is not God’s fault. He provides His grace for each & every situation of life. But he has made you… your own ‘Stewart’.

*** (1Corinthians 9:25-26-27) Everyone who enters an athletic contest practices self-control in everything. They do it to win a wreath that dies, but we to win one that never dies.
(1Cor 9:26) That is the way I run, with a clear goal in mind. That is the way I box, not like someone punching the air.
(1Cor 9:27) No, I keep on beating my body and making it my slave so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not somehow be disqualified.

Where do you go from Here…? Ok, so you have some extra pounds that you shouldn’t have, what can you do about them? Yes, you could diet and exercise with this in mind. ‘How Long’ did it take you to gain that weight? It will take that long or longer… to lose it. Plain and simple, start now, today and don’t’ quit if you fail. Continue on to Continue on…! Make your weight a long term goal ‘to control’. One does not become Spiritual overnight. It is the same for your physical body. It is simply… “How you view yourself and Who you belong to!”

*** (1Corinthians 6:19-20) Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit in you, whom you have of God? And you are not your own,
(1Cor 6:20) for you are bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.

*** (1Timothy 4:8) Physical exercise is of limited value, but Godliness is very dear, A pledge of life, both there and here.

A country preacher… was asked about women wearing make-up and what the Bible said about it. He simply replied… “IF the barn needs painting, paint IT!” Perhaps many have missed what the Scriptures say and instead have so listened to the country preaching? They have missed what God has said in His Word about the… “Real You?” Only when you study and live… the Word with the teachings of the Holy Spirit… will you get your focus on the right area of development…?

(2Peter 1:1-to-12) Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of our God and our Savior Jesus Christ,
(2Pet 1:2) 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 has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the 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 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.
(2Pet 1:12) Therefore I will not neglect to put you always in remembrance of these things, though you know them and are established in the present truth.

Start working on these… and you will soon forget about… “Ugly!”

“Atheism – 101” …Blog.

“Atheism – 101” …Blog.



What is an “Atheist”…? Is there any Validity to their False Claim of there being No God? Could it be, as the Supreme Court ruled; ‘They are a Religion’. The first thing they will do, is to accuse you of being ‘Closed Minded’. It seems to me that most will discuss anything if only shown some ‘Respect?’ “To agree – to Disagree”… is a point of mature adults with cognitive skills. Most of us realize that no one has ‘all’ the answers.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GmZ7_nNeoE&feature=related  


To say that there is ‘No God’… is to simply miss the obvious. Most humans here on this planet earth, believe in some God. Religions have been throughout history and have caused wars and killing without precedence. Many historical leaders have been considered God. Pharaoh and the Kings of China and the list goes on and on. Many despots have ‘claimed deity’ only to be betrayed by their actions. The killing of non-believers is how Islam spread so effectively and still does today.

*** (Psalms 14:1) The Fool has said in their heart… No God!


The real question is… “Why don’t Atheists believe in God?” Most have been exposed to some religious training and rejected it. Perhaps their parents were Religious, but never lived out that religion. Most chose out of adolescent rebellion to go their own way. Surely all the technology that we use today; has some engineering by someone who knew more than we know? The computer that you use… did not all of a sudden happen! So too, God that designed the universe… did not leave His creation without instruction.

*** (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."

*** (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.

Most Atheists… will immediately bring up the killing of the people in the land of the Jews, as their excuse of why God, the God of the Bible is not just. What they fail to realize, is it was His justice and mercy that allowed mankind to exist for this long. The Flood of Noah… had destroyed civilization due to their wickedness. So today, our jails are filled to overflowing with murders and robbers and criminals. Never do I hear the Atheist saying… ‘release them.’

*** (Deuteronomy 9:4) Do not speak in your heart, after Jehovah your God has cast them out from before you, saying: For my righteousness, Jehovah has brought me in to possess this land. = But for the wickedness of these nations, = Jehovah your God drives them out from before you.

*** (Jonah 1:1-2) And the Word of Jehovah came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
(Jon 1:2) Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; = for their evil = has come up before Me.

Somehow wrongly believing… mankind had done ‘nothing wrong’, is the real basis for Atheism. Each Atheist has their own list of… ‘rights & wrongs’. They use that to establish the ‘fantasy’ that they are OK… and that the Christians are wrong. What they often fail to realize is that… “Not All that say they are Christians”… really Are! There are many here in America, that falsely claim to be Christian and yet have “Nothing to do with God and His Word, the Bible”. The Atheists often uses the generic term ‘Christian’… to simply denote; the religious.

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/11/pseudo-false-christians-101.html


*** (Matthew 7:21-22-23) Not everyone who says to Me, Lord! Lord! shall enter the kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven.
(Matt 7:22) Many will say to Me in that day, Lord! Lord! Did we not prophesy in Your name, and through Your name throw out demons, and through Your name do many wonderful works?
(Matt 7:23) And then I will say to them I never knew you! Depart from Me, those working lawlessness!

Just because ones says… they are a Christian, does make it so. Jesus said so in the above Bible verses. Many Atheists, never want to honestly seek for God themselves. Here again, “Honesty”… is the crux of the matter. God promises to those that “Honestly seek Him”… that they will Find… “Him!” Another fact they choose not to realize, that IF there is a God; then there is a Devil, in opposition to God. That obvious fact… negates in the mind of the Atheists… a warfare for the souls of mankind and the fact of “Good & Evil!”

*** (Jeremiah 29:11-12-13) For I know the purposes which I am purposing for you, says Jehovah; purposes of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
(Jer 29:12) Then you shall call on Me, and you shall go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.
(Jer 29:13) And you shall seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

*** (2Corinthians 4:3-4) But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
(2Cor 4:4) In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

The Evil… that mankind does is not from an external source, but an internal one. “Sin is the Root”… “Sins are the Fruit!” A child does not have to be taught to Lie, Steal or Cheat. It comes from their fallen human nature. The adult has simply learned to use those things to a finer degree of sophistication. Say it isn’t so…? All of us, unless redeemed by Christ, are sinners practicing what we know and live out.

God, the God of the Bible… has paid the price for the “Sin/Sins” of mankind in the finished work of Christ Jesus. He simply offers it to mankind by Faith – Alone. “NO Works” can earn any favor with God! Sinful man can do ‘nothing’ to earn salvation… it is Gods’ gift to His creation… by and through His love for all mankind. But most have rejected it and will have nothing to do with God and His Word. They are simply comfortable with their Sin/Sins.

*** (John 3:19) And this is the condemnation, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the Light, because their deeds were evil.
(John 3:20) For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
(John 3:21) But he who practices truth comes to the Light so that his works may be revealed, that they exist, having been worked in God.

*** (Romans 5:8-to-11) But God commends His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.
(Rom 5:9) Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
(Rom 5:10) For if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
(Rom 5:11) And not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the reconciliation.

Unless “You”… come to God on His terms, you are helplessly lost and perishing. God has offered His Love and Mercy and Grace to “You”… even in your sinful state. It is your ‘free will’ that allows you to either… “Accept or Reject”… this Love of God. The True Christian lives by Faith that is simply another gift of God. Even believing in Him… is His gift to “You!” He being a just and a holy God… can do no less. All that the Christian has, is the gift and grace of God… working in their lives.

*** (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.

*** (Romans 10:3-4) For they, being ignorant of God's righteousness and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God.
(Rom 10:4) For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness for everyone who believes.

Can “You” be Honest…? Simply tell God, that you don’t’ believe in Him, nor do you believe His Word the Bible. Then… “Honestly – search for Him”… to see if He is real or not. That is being Honest! Can you ‘Honestly’ say that “You” searched for God, the God of the Bible…? Or were “You”… just turned off by those that are Religious and Not really Christians…?

*** (Romans 5:8) But God commends His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.

*****
(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. = [Psalms 119:18 & 1Samuel 3:21 & Deuteronomy 29:29]

“Validation – 202” …Blog.

“Validation – 202” …Blog.



Perhaps a continuance… of the previous blog on this subject? May I share this ‘ditty’ with you? “I don’t Smoke… I don’t Chew… and I don’t go with girls that Do!” Strange as it seems, even with all the ‘Warning Labels’ on Tobacco products, people still do. In Canada there are “Color Pictures” of organs damaged by smoking diseases. Here in the USA, the Tobacco Lobby would not allow Congress to be so “Honest!”

*** (Matthew 7:20) Therefore by their fruits = you shall know them.

Validation is often… the driving force behind life. Sports and Entertainment has their following; as people validate themselves by their approval of the same. I purposely do not watch sports. Someone questioned me and I reminded them of the Baseball player that took Steroids and Growth hormones to increase his Home Run average. Plain and Simple… “Cheating!”… and yet many still hold him in high esteem. The Olympics drug tests of their athletes, even in the off years, eliminates this Cheating! That is “Fair and Right”… and should be demanded of all Athletes in All Sports… Everywhere!

*** (Proverbs 14:15) The simple believes every word, but the wise man watches his step.

Here in America… many claim to be Christian and yet “Do NOT = Practice the Holy Word of God! Abortion and Divorce are ‘Rampart’… and yet very few speak out about the Wrond! How can we have… “In God we Trust” on our money and then use the Same Money to KILL… an Innocent Baby… it it’s mother’s womb…? Something is Wrong and Few… Speak Out… about the Murder!

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/11/usa-final-solution-101blog.html


*** (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.

You purposely ‘Validate’… what you believe; by the authority you… “Give to It!” If you ‘do not’ speak out against the wrong… your silence validates it! Say it isn’t so…? What you mentally allow or accept… becomes a part of your thought process. Recently I wrote a blog about ‘Christian Rock’ and received more hate for that; then I did from unbelievers about Jesus. Many validate their music and then dare anyone to say something about it. Since when are we commanded by the Bible… to keep silent about Evil…? Absolutely… Never…!

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/05/fallen-music-101.html


*** (Isaiah 5:20) Woe to those who call evil good and good evil; who put darkness for light and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

*** (Isaiah 58:1) Cry aloud, do not spare, lift up your voice like a ram's horn, and show My people their rebellion, and the house of Jacob their sins.

Even in your own family… you are commanded by Scripture to speak about the Good and the Evil! Most will not obey the Scriptures… because their definition of peace… is not that of Jesus! What this all gets down to is… “Do you, who call the Name of Jesus… believe in the Obedience to His Word… as He spoke?” It is to Him… that you and I and everyone… will Answer! Remember, “No One… gets away with Anything!” What you sew… you will real… and much more!

*** (Matthew 10:34-to-38) Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth. I did not come to send peace, but a sword.
(Matt 10:35) For I have come to set a man against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
(Matt 10:36) And a man's foes shall be those of his own household.
(Matt 10:37) He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.
(Matt 10:38) And he who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.

*** (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."

Who do you want ‘Validation’ from…? That is the bottom line in all topics and subjects. Do Right; and speak the Truth;… and you cannot go wrong! Today we are so blanketed with Lies, that they have become a part of society. Homes for Sale… indicating such a thing is for sale. A home, your home is You and your Family in a particular dwelling. One cannot sell people as the 14the Amendment of the US Constitution has prohibited it. So why call a house… ‘A Home’… when in Truth it is only a House…?

*** (James 5:12) But before all things, my brothers, do not swear; neither by the heaven nor by the earth, nor any other oath. But let your yes be yes, and your no, no, lest you fall into condemnation.

*** (Proverbs 12:22) Lying lips are hateful to Jehovah, but those who deal truly are His delight.

See how easily… many are taken in by the Lies? I find myself in a constant guard about what I allow into my mind and heart. Yes, I even have my TV Remote… last channel… set to change the station; when those Victoria Secret commercials come on. I as a single male… will not allow those images… to pollute my mind and heart. So too it is with everything we are exposed to in life. “Unless you mentally… reject It… you mentally… accept It! Say it isn’t So…?

*** (Mark 8:36-37-38) For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?
(Mark 8:37) Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
(Mark 8:38) Therefore whoever shall be ashamed of Me and of My Words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man shall also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.

*** (Matthew 5:37) But let your word be, Yes, yes; No, no. For whatever is more than these comes from evil.

What does it cost… to really follow Jesus…? In most other countries, especially the ‘Middle East’, it can even mean death. Most Muslims that convert to True Christianity often lose their entire families and are considered dead. Some even become ‘martyrs’ and pay with their lives. Yet here in America, many choose… ‘Not’ to take a stand for the Holy Word of God! In reality that is why so very many ‘say’ that they are Christians… and ‘do not’… live so! Jesus said So…!

*** (Matthew 7:21-22-23) Not everyone who says to Me, Lord! Lord! shall enter the kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven.
(Matt 7:22) Many will say to Me in that day, Lord! Lord! Did we not prophesy in Your name, and through Your name throw out demons, and through Your name do many wonderful works?
(Matt 7:23) And then I will say to them I never knew you! Depart from Me, those working lawlessness!

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/11/pseudo-false-christians-101.html


Just take a few moments… and examine… “When was the Last Time”… you took a stand against Evil…? If it is not ‘Approved’ by the Holy Word of God… then it is Evil! Plain & Simple… isn’t It? When the Word of God calls something ‘Wrong – Sin’; it surely Is! God will use His Word… to judge us all… in the Last Day. The choice is Yours… and no one else!

*** (Luke 12:5) But I will warn you of whom you shall fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into hell. Yea, I say to you, fear Him [God].

*** (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.


*** (Ezekiel 3:18) When I say to the wicked, You shall surely die; and you do not give him warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked one shall die in his iniquity; but I will require his blood at your hand.
(Ezek 3:19) Yet if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.
(Ezek 3:20) And when the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and when I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die. Because you have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand.
(Ezek 3:21) But if you warn the righteous so that the righteous does not sin, and if he does not sin, he shall surely live because he is warned; also you have delivered your soul.

“Fallen Music – 101”

“Fallen Music – 101”



*** (1Thessalonians 5:21) Prove all things, hold fast to the good.


*** (Ephesians 5:10) proving what is acceptable to the Lord.


Recently there was a discussion… about music. Someone ‘wrongly’ said, “There is No Such thing as an Evil Note!” Really, you mean to tell us, that “All of Creation is Fallen”… and then ‘NOT Music’…? Impossible…! During the ‘Fall and the Curse’… “All Fell”… including music. Someone told me, David played the Psalms. Well, King David also committed Adultery! That kind of Justifiable Logic for any So Called Christian Music… does not hold Truth to the Holy Word of God!

*** (1John 5:19) We know that we are of God, and all the world lies in evil.

*** (James 4:4) Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever desires to be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

Perhaps that person… Never listened to that Rap… that speaks about Cop Killers? How about that rap… that speaks of Sex Perversions? Music can be Evil… as well as Good. Surely there is Good and Bad in… each & every… aspect of Life! How about the music from the movie, ‘The Graduate?’ I believe the ‘songs’ did much… to accentuate and approve of the fact of Adultery in that movie! How then can one then say… there are no evil notes…?

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/11/pseudo-false-christians-101.html


If there are… “False Christians”… does it not seem reasonable that their ‘music’… will reflect their ‘true’ spirit…? Over the past years there has been a plethora of so called ‘Christian Music.’ Most of it contains… ‘he’, ‘him’ or some other vague reference to a deity… but not necessarily that of Christ Jesus the Lord or even of God the Father or the Holy Spirit. Most do not compare their music to the knowledge of the Scriptures… to discern good from evil.

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/08/isnt-it-about-time-101.html


*** (Acts 17:11) And these = were more noble = than those of Thessalonica, = in that they received the Word = with all readiness of mind = and = ‘searched’ the Scriptures = daily = to see if those things = were so.

Have you ever… “Questioned the music you listen to?” My first remembrance as a child was of Christmas carols. My next was of Classical music and Opera! We went to visit my grandmother one summer and I found an old “Victrola” in the basement with records. I listened to them all summer long and for the first time, I had an appreciation of classical music. Only later on in life, when I came to Christ… did I realize that Opera was nothing more than “Soaps – Sung in a Foreign Tongue!”

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/11/satan-music-101blog.html


Perhaps if one… would look into the Scriptures and see that Lucifer had the ability to make music also. When he rebelled against God and took one third of the angels with him, those fallen angels did not put forth good but evil! The band… “KISS”… Kings in Satan’s Service and their promoted lifestyle of Sex, Drugs and Rebellion is surely… “Not of God!” So too… not all music called Christian is really… Christian.

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/09/anointed-music-101blog.html


*** (John 4:23-24) But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to worship Him.
(John 4:24) God is a spirit, and they who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth.

Recently someone said… “Don’t Confuse me with those ‘THINGS’… I just want to Praise Jesus!” How then can the Worship of God… be right… with “Wrong Music?” It cannot be so! Many do not know nor want to know the Scriptures. The Scriptures agree in… “Letter & Spirit!” Simply read the Psalms, the songbook of Israel and test them… with the Other Scriptures? They too agree with the rest of Scripture… but Not So… of today’s “So Called – Christian Music”. Many of the old hymns… have been “Rocked”… to appeal to an ignorant generation of ‘Spiritually Ignorant’ people… both adults and children.

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/04/christian-music-101-blog.html


How about it…? If you have read my previously posted blogs, you have an idea where I am coming from. False claims of God Inspiration in their music would mean that it has as much authority of the Scriptures. Sorry it does Not! Simply “TEST”… the harmony, the melody and the Words… with that of Scripture… “IF… You Dare To”…? What you will find out; will change your mind. If it doesn’t fit Scripture… it is not Christian…!

*** (2Corinthians 11:13-14-15) For such ones are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
(2Co 11:14) Did not even Satan marvelously transform himself into an angel of light?
(2Co 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.

*** (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 destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction.
(2Pe 2:2) And many will follow their pernicious ways, and because of them the way of truth will be evil spoken of.

Will you just accept… what is fed you in music without checking it out with the Scriptures? Will you just take all… “Christian Music”… without discerning and checking it with the Scriptures…? “Satan as an Angel of Light”… bring his music… right into the Churches and no one say anything about it. The OT Psalms… the songbook of God’s People Israel was… Filled with Doctrine and Teaching about GOD and His Workings. The Pseudo Christian music today… what does it teach you about God…? Absolutely little if any, maybe a few kudos to God… but NOT… “True Bible Teaching”…!

(1Corinthians 14:38) But if any = is [willingly] ignorant, = let him = be [willingly] ignorant.

(Ezekiel 2:7) And you shall speak My Words to them, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear, for they are rebellious.

(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.

(1Corinthians 2:14) But the = natural man = does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are = foolishness = to him; neither can he = know = them, because they are spiritually discerned.

*****
(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. = [Psalms 119:18 & 1Samuel 3:21 & Deuteronomy 29:29]

“Validation – 101”…Blog.

“Validation – 101”…Blog.



Did you get… “Validation” yesterday from someone? Of course during Valentine’s Day, many received Validation from a mate, a friend or even from parents. As adults and as children we all seek Validation from someone. Some did not receive any ‘Validation’… but did that make them any less of a person? Absolutely Not! Life is a lot like that.

“It is amazing what you can accomplish… if you do not care… who gets the credit. Said by Harry S Truman 33rd president of US (1884 - 1972)

Some do not… need human validation. Like the presidential statement above. One of my favorites as it shows the ‘True Character’ of a person. And do you know why a person ‘does not’ need… Validation? It is because a person, ‘man or woman’… “Has A Mission!” A very few know… “Who they really are and where they are going.” That bugs most, because they have not such an assurance.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1iFjPNTI0I  


I can thinks… of ‘two’ such people. Both of them died in the Same Week! You will remember them if I simply mention their Names. There have been such people throughout history. Although most do not remember… ‘History’ and so will as… ‘A people or as a nation’… Repeat Their Mistakes. The two I first mentioned were… “Lady ‘Di’ and Mother ‘Teresa’!”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VUy-wBwBvw


All of us… appreciate Kudos [Validation]! That was a good meal! Thank you for coming over and watching the kids! Thank you for visiting my grandmother in the hospital. Thank you for shopping for me. Thank you for taking me out to… ‘Dinner and a Movie!’ And especially the best one… “Thank you for visiting my Page and Making Kind [or not-so-kind] comments on my Blog! …LOL!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgVpeMc5IY0


Perhaps each of us… are not intentionally seeking Validation. We simply speak our mind or make statements of… “Eternal Truth”. Some here on their ‘Internet Pages…’ have a real love and care for others. Some here care deeply about our Nation and its direction that will leave us in peril. Some are here to share their sexual persuasion and contaminate others. Some are here… as I am… Just to have a little levity and most of all… “FUN!”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDHErN3dOkc


How about your… Vehicle? Most of us drive a particular car, truck or other vehicle for Validation. Some have developed expert cooking skills for their Validation. Others make it a point to wear clothes that… accentuate their physical prowess. Some wear makeup and jewelry or a popular fragrance to… Validate themselves. Got Milk? Got Validation?

How about your… House or Domicile? Do you live in a gated community or in a particular sub division, upscale? How about your investments and securities and those… ‘Bearer Bonds’ and ‘Gold Krugerrands’ you have in your… safety deposit box? Do you have these to… Validate yourself? Is your wealth your Validation of life and its successes? Or are you just one of the rest of us, who live from day to day, just having enough?

I could go on… and on and ask all sorts of questions about many things. If you use any of these things to Validate yourself… they are only temporary fixes. Many take the… ‘Bobbles and Bangles and Blings’… the “3–B’s”… of life and believe that those things really Validate them. These are only temporary and will be left ‘here’… when you depart for eternity.

We are all… adults and ‘should’ make adult decisions. Isn’t it about time that we take… ‘An inventory of Life?’ All we… ‘Have’ or… ‘Don’t Have’… “Does Not”… Validate us. Someone yesterday made a ‘joking’ comment on my page about me looking like… Elvis! That’s the Elvis wig I was wearing was just for Fun! Sorry I do not do personal appearances! And do I Validate Elvis or does Elvis Validate Me? …LOL! …LOL!

There is only… “One Person” we need Validation from. Can you guess who it is? Next you will tell me that I am meddling into affairs that do not concern me. How about if I tell you, that I am concerned where you will spend… Eternity? If your house were on fire… would you not want me to warn you? Or… should I simply go on my way and allow the fire to burn?

*** (John 1:10-11-12) He [Jesus] was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not.
(John 1:11) He came unto His own, and His own received him not.
(John 1:12) But as many as received Him, to them gave He the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name:

*** (Romans 14:11-12) For it is written, "As certainly as I live, declares the Lord, every knee will bow to me, and every tongue will praise God."
(Rom 14:12) Consequently, each of us will give an account of himself to God.

Only “GOD”… can validate us! Many seek human validation and only want it from humans. But we will all answer to Jesus and to His Word. Many have their religion and us that to validate themselves. Sorry but those are wrongly mistaken because they substitute their Church teaching for what the Holy Word of God says. Many say they Love Jesus BUT… do NOT love His Word…?

*** (Luke 24:44-to-48) And He said to them, These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and in the Prophets and in the Psalms about Me.
(Luke 24:45) And He opened their mind to understand the Scriptures.
(Luke 24:46) And He said to them, So it is written, and so it behoved Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,
(Luke 24:47) and that repentance and remission of sins should be proclaimed in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
(Luke 24:48) And you are witnesses of these things.

The Validation from Jesus… is always about His Word, as He is the Living Word. Many times I see these posts, “Things God wants you to know for today”. These make my blood boil! Never do they contain Scriptures… and are often so generic… that they could be used for any heathen or foreign false god. Yet I see those that call the Blessed name of Christ… continue to post them! They have replaced Gods’ Holy Word and Thoughts… with gibberish.

*** (Isaiah 5:20) Woe to those who call evil good and good evil; who put darkness for light and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

*** (Isaiah 28:13) But the Word of Jehovah was to them precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken and snared and taken.

Isn’t it about Time… that you use the Word of God, as the Validation for the Truth of God…? “Nothing more… Nothing Less…!” Perhaps no one has ever confronted you about this? You just went along with Everyone Else? Is your validation from God and His Word… or from something else…?

*** (Psalms 119:18) Open my eyes, = so that I = may behold = wonderful things = out of = Your Law [Word].

“Rice – 101” …Blog.

“Rice – 101” …Blog.



If you have been… reading my blogs for a while you will realize that occasionally I post one of my recipes that have been developed by… ‘Recipe – Trial & Error’. Quite a number of years ago, I substituted ‘Olive Oil’ for cooking, which now seems to be the rave. When cooking fried or scrambled eggs, I use a pad of butter and olive oil. Recently I have been experimenting with Chicken as a basis for my Rice dishes. My brownies use… ‘Olive Oil’ instead of cooking oil.

*** (1Corinthians 14:40) Let all things = be done decently = and in order.

This past week… chickens were on sale again as I usually buy two or three. Use one and place the other[s] in the freezer. Because of the variety in eating, I have changed my starch intake to Rice. Rice is a simple food, two parts water and one part rice. But I always add 50% more water, as I like my rice ‘puffy.’ Instead of water… I have been substituting… “Broth!” There was a ‘two for one’ sale on broth two months ago and bought a couple of boxes. Have you ever made rice… using broth instead of water?

*** (Proverbs 23:1-2) When you sit down to eat with a ruler, look carefully at what is before you;
(Pro 23:2) and put a knife to your throat, if you are a man given to appetite.

A Pressure Cooker… has become a tool seldom used by most cooks. It makes good broth from any foul or meat source. The pre-packaged broth in the stores, “Does not have the nutrition nor the flavor of my homemade broth.” I take my chicken, cut in pieces, remove all the skin except from the back and wings, section and ‘score’. Scoring the chicken, allows the juices to ‘leech’ from the chicken parts and go into the broth. Additionally I add… two large onions, carrots, garlic and sometime other fresh veggies I have on hand. This all cooks for 20-minutes and is then done.

*** (Deuteronomy 1:12) How can I by myself bear your pressure and your burden and your strife?

Before someone tells me… that I am wasting… realize that all that is left has not nutritional benefits. The pot of chicken parts with the cooked vegetables… is strained and discarded. This ‘Pure Broth’ is placed hot, into a sealed storage container and allowed to cool to the tough, before refrigerating overnight. The next day, I examine the amount of ‘fat’ that remains that has risen to the top and solidified. If it is less than 3% of the total volume, I do not skim it. If it is more… I skim and discard. Leave some of the fat as it adds to the flavor.

*** (Leviticus 19:36) You shall have just balances, just weights, a just amount, and a just measure. I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.

Take 8 cups of broth… and place it in large pot and bring it to a boil. Take only “3-cups’ of rice and add it to the boiling broth. When it comes to a boil again; then turn the heat to… Simmer; “Stir once and then cover.”… Set a timer for 20-minutes; maybe even the timer on the your microwave. Inspect that most [2/3] of the liquid is gone and then remove from the heat. Immediately while hot, place in storage containers, ‘Tupperware or the like product.’ Burp and seal the containers and leave on the counter to cool to touch, about 1-2 hours.

*** (Proverbs 27:23-24) Know well the face of your flocks; set your heart on your herds.
(Pro 27:24) For riches are not forever; nor the crown from generation to generation.

Today for breakfast… I took about abut a cup of rice and pan fried it till warm and added two jumbo eggs to stir into the mix. A good mixture of starch and protein to start my day out. Do you eat breakfast…? Sure you know that… ‘Breakfast’… is the most important meal of the day? It starts your metabolism going; and that aids in any diet situation; along with ‘limiting’ your intake of calories. Oh yes, Publix has on sale this week… “Fat Boy Ice Cream Sandwiches”… buy one get one free. There goes my diet! …LOL!

*** (Mark 1:35) And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

Each day… I start the ‘rest of my days’, with the Word of God. Sometime before I used that term… ‘The rest of my days’… and someone questioned me about it. ‘None’ of us know just how long we will live. None of us is ‘promised’; any specific length of days. Occasionally I will read a posting on Face Book about a terminally ill child or the death of one’s teen child. Perhaps ‘if’; we live our day… as if it were to be our last… we would walk ‘closer’ to Jesus…?

*** (Hebrews 9:27) And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment,

Can anything be more important… than meeting with our heavenly father, in His Word…? We all make time, for what is ‘important’ to us. Even when I was working… “8-10-12-hour days”… I went to bed an hour earlier; in order to get up an hour early. Meeting with “Him in His Word”… is food to our souls. Knowing the mind of Christ… and the Word of God… give us His reference; so that we will ‘not be contaminated’; with the worldly thinking of this age. Jesus met with His Father… daily, the first of His Day… “Shouldn’t We”…?

*** (1Samuel 3:21) And Jehovah appeared again in Shiloh. For Jehovah revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the Word of Jehovah.

How about it…? How do we learn about God and His Word. Well you may say, “I listed to this pastor each morning on the radio or TV! Or perhaps you get your feeding from some internet site and the teaching provided there? Is that ‘as good as’… “Directly listening to God and being taught by His Holy Spirit…? “Absolutely Not”…!

*** (2Corinthains 4:16) For this cause we do not faint; but though our outward man perishes, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.

Do you substitute… what you hear at church on Sunday or Wednesday… for what is “Available to You”… Daily from the Holy Word of God? The difference is ‘man’s opinion’ of what God says… or… “God’s opinion” of what God has said. Before there was processed baby food, the mother or grandmother chewed the food first and then gave it to the baby! Do you want second hand food… from God and His Word… or the “Pure Milk of the Word”… taught by God’s Holy Spirit that indwells… every real child of God!

*** (John 14:26) But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatever I have said to you.

Do you prepare your ‘heart’…? Like any good cooking recipe, preparation is needed. So too is learning from God; by His Holy Spirit. Confession and forsaking known sin and its practices; is tantamount to… ‘taking out the trash!’ So too… a ‘prepared’ heart… is needed to hear from God through His Word. You can only get out of life what you are willing to put into life and so it is with… ‘Reading & Studying the Holy Word of God!”

*** (1John 1:9-10) If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
(1Jn 1:10) If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in us.

*** (Proverbs 28:13) He who covers his sins shall not be blessed; but whoever confesses and leaves them shall have mercy.

*** (2Chronicles 12:14) And he did the evil because he did not prepare his heart to seek Jehovah.

*** (Ezra 7:10) For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the Law of Jehovah, and to do it, and to teach statutes and judgments in Israel.


Prayer: "Father God", I have never ordered my day to spend time with You as the first priority of my day. I have put other things first and now confess this to You and endeavor to change my lifestyle and methods. Grace me with Your Word and teach me by your Holy Spirit… from Your Word, I ask this in Jesus’ Name and for Your Glory, Amen & Amen!

*** (Psalms 119:18) Open my eyes, = so that I = may behold = wonderful things = out of = Your Law [Word].

“Remarriage – 606”…Blog. [End-of-6]

“Remarriage – 606”…Blog. [End-of-6]



After reading the preceding blogs… you must have come to the conclusion; that the Holy Word of God, has to be to the True Believers… “The Only point of Reference!” This is a… “Moment by Moment”… decision for the believer. Remember… “Every song – is a Sermon!” Secular or Religious, each song conveys something to your Mind, heart and Soul. Even Handles Messiah, which is Scripture alone, which I listen to regularly. Test these two songs and see what I mean?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCuiN2JnjpE  


Continuing with these thoughts… all of us know that computer saying; “GI – GO!” Garbage In – Garbage Out. Computers only handle the “data & programming” that is fed into them. It cannot magically ‘genre’ something out of nothing. “AI” – artificial intelligence is only a function of programming. So too is your mind, what you put in… is what you get out. If your ‘thinking’ approves ‘divorce & remarriage’… no matter what God says in… “Mark 10:11-12”… that is what you – will act on. God does not violate your free will… but… you can violate the Holy Word of God!

*** (2Corinthians 10:3-to-6) Of course, = we are living in the flesh, = but we do not fight = in a fleshly way. [Ephesians 6:12]
(2Cor 10:4) For = the weapons of our warfare = are ‘not’ those = of the flesh. = Instead, = they have the power of God = to ‘demolish’ fortresses [strongholds]. = We tear down arguments [against the Truth of the Word of God]
(2Cor 10:5) and = every proud ‘obstacle’ = that is raised “against” = the knowledge of God, = taking ‘every’ thought = ‘captive’ = in order = to ‘obey’ Christ. [Luke 6:46]
(2Cor 10:6) We are ready = ‘to punish’ every act of disobedience = when your ‘obedience’ = is complete. [Proverbs 28:13 & 1John 1:5-to-10]

*** (1Kings 18:21) And Elijah = came to ‘all’ the people = and said, = “How long” = are you ‘limping’ over = ‘two opinions’? = “If” = Jehovah is God, = follow Him. = But ‘if’ = Baal is God, = then follow him. = And = the people ‘did not’ answer him = a word.

… “Not ‘to’ – Decide… Is… ‘to’ – Decide…!” = Obey God and His Word = Or Not…?


It is my belief… that we must ‘Unlearn’ some things; that we have ‘wrongly’ learned. Isn’t that what… “Growing in God’s Grace”… means? How about abiding in the vine…? Bearing fruit and some bringing forth, 30 fold, 60 fold and 100 fold? Of course these are all Scriptural word pictures for “Spiritual Maturation”. Do the Scriptures ever say… but you are yet carnal and not spiritual? All these admonitions are to spur one onto obedience to Christ and to His Word.

*** (Hebrews 5:11-to-14) We have = ‘much’ to say about this, = but it is ‘difficult’ = to explain = because = you have ‘become’ = too lazy = to understand.
(Heb 5:12) In fact, = though ‘by now’ = you should be teachers, = you ‘still’ need someone = to teach you = the ‘basic’ Truths = of God's Word. = You have ‘become’ = people who need ‘milk’ = instead of = ‘solid food’.
(Heb 5:13) For everyone = who ‘lives’ on milk = is still a baby = and = is ‘inexperienced’ = in the “message of righteousness”.
(Heb 5:14) But = solid food = is for ‘mature’ people, = whose minds are = ‘trained’ by practice = to ‘distinguish’ = “good” from ‘evil’.

Before someone… shuts me down and says that I am picking on Christians: Please tell me, “Do you hold to the ‘Complete Authority’ of the Holy Word of God… for those that are Truly His”…? You say you… ‘Love’ Jesus; but do you “Love His Word”… ‘Also?’ That ‘cannot’ be separated; as they are one and the same! He is the Living Word. Anyone that says different is simply calling God a Liar! We know that God cannot Lie… and that His Word is Truth… “Numbers 23:19 & John 17:17”

*** (2Timothy 2:25-26) in meekness = ‘instructing’ those = who oppose, = if perhaps = God = will ‘give’ them = “Repentance” = to the acknowledging = of the Truth,
(2Tim 2:26) and = that they ‘awake’ = out of the snare = of the Devil [Satan], = having been = ‘taken captive’ = by him, = so as ‘to do’ = the will of that one.

*** (Matthew 13:19) When ‘anyone’ = hears the Word of the kingdom = and = ‘does not’ understand it, = then = the wicked one [Satan] = comes and catches ‘away’ = that which was sown = ‘in his heart’. = This is the seed [Word of God] = sown by the wayside.

Recently, because of these blogs… someone sent me a message and told me to stop trying to get them… “To Believe what I believe!” Did I ever say ‘anything’… about ‘You’…believing in what I believe in any of the over ‘100’ blogs posted on my blog site…? “Absolutely – Not!” I do only one thing… point you back to what the Word of God says. Another person told me… ‘That is only your interpretation!’ I simply asked them, “If I am wrong… please take the Scriptures… and show me where I am wrong; and I will gladly ‘repent openly’ before all! Some of my ‘Internet’ friends; no longer consider me; their friend and have stopped chatting.

*** (Galatians 6:1) Brothers, = ‘if’ = a man is = “overtaken in a fault”, = you the ‘spiritual ones’ = restore such a one = in the spirit of meekness, = considering yourself, = lest you ‘also’ = be tempted.

*** (Luke 17:3) Take heed to yourselves. = If your brother ‘trespasses’ against you, = rebuke him. = And if he repents, = forgive him.

Now it has come time… to address the issue of an “Adulterous Remarriage”… as defined by Jesus Christ in… “Mark 10:11-12 = Luke 16:18” Someone wrote to me and asked… “Should I… ‘Divorce’ my second husband… because I violated Mark 10:11-12?” Is there an example of God… telling His people… to divorce their ‘wrong’ mate; in the Scriptures? That is a tough question but I can only tell you what the Scriptures say. I referred them to my original post to read it again, in dealing with sin in the lives of a True Believer.

*** (Exodus 34:14-15-16) For you shall ‘worship’ = ‘no other god’. = For Jehovah, = Whose name is Jealous, = is a jealous God;
(Exodus 34:15) lest you = make a covenant = with the inhabitants of the land, = and = they go ‘whoring’ = after their gods, = and = do sacrifice to their gods, = and = call you, = and = you eat of his sacrifice;
(Exodus 34:16) and = lest you ‘take’ = from their daughters = ‘for’ your sons, = and their daughters = go ‘whoring’ after their gods = and = make your sons go whoring = after their gods.

*** (Ezra 10:1-to-12) And when Ezra had ‘prayed’, = and = when he had ‘confessed’, = weeping and casting himself = down before the house of God, = there gathered to him = out of Israel = a very great congregation = of men and women and children, = for the people = “wept with a great weeping”. [Repentance & Revival]
(Ezra 10:2) And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, of the sons of Elam, = answered and said to Ezra, = We ‘have sinned’ = against our God = and = have taken strange women = from the people of the land. = Yet now = there is hope = in Israel = concerning this thing.
(Ezra 10:3) And now = let us make a covenant = with our God = to ‘divorce’ = all the women, = and = such as have been born of them, = ‘according to’ = the counsel of the Lord, = and = of those who tremble = at the commandment of our God. = And let it be done = according to the Law.
(Ezra 10:4) Arise, for this matter belongs to you. We also will be with you. Be of good courage and act.
(Ezra 10:5) Then Ezra arose and made the chief priests, the Levites, and all Israel to swear that they should do according to this word. And they swore.
(Ezra 10:6) Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God and went into the room of Johanan the son of Eliashib. And he went there, and he ate no bread nor drank water. For he mourned because of the sin of those who had been exiled.
(Ezra 10:7) And they made a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the sons of the captivity, to gather themselves to Jerusalem,
(Ezra 10:8) and that whoever would not come within three days, according to the advice of the rulers and the elders, all he owned would be lost, and he himself separated from the congregation of the exiles.
(Ezra 10:9) Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves to Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth of the month. And all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain.
(Ezra 10:10) And Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, You have sinned, and have taken strange women to increase the sin of Israel.
(Ezra 10:11) And now confess to Jehovah, the God of your fathers, and do His pleasure. And separate yourselves = from the people of the land, = and = from the strange women.
(Ezra 10:12) Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice, = As you have said, = so we must do.

The Answer… is in your… “Obedience” = to the Word of God.

May I now… share with you, some thoughts from the Word of God, about “Confession, Repentance and Forgiveness”…? Those that know the Word… often apply… “1John 1:5-to-10”… when they are Convicted by the Holy Spirit… about Sin in their lives. Those that respond to Him… have a tender heart: those that ‘do not’; have a… “Hardened Heart like Pharaoh!” Christ Jesus even said that ‘divorce’… is a result of a hardened heart… “Mark 10:5”.

“Hyperbole…!”

… I am a Christian and work in an accounting firm. I have control of the … ‘Monies & Securities’… for that ‘Firm’. I get tempted and “Steal”… some ‘Barer Bonds [Ten Thousand ‘US’ Dollars– 10K].’

… Because of the nature of such securities, I get away with it. Sometime later, I am ‘convicted by God’… about the Theft… and… “Confess it to Jesus!” …I claim… “1John 1:9” – If we confess our sin, He is faithful to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

… Am I “Then”… required to… “Give back the Monies or Securities”…? Please answer this question … “Yes” = or = “No”…?

*** (Ephesians 4:28) Let him who = ‘stole’ = steal ‘no more’, = but rather = let him labor, = working with his hands = the thing which is good, = so that he may have something = to give to him = who needs.

*** (Proverbs 28:13) He who = ‘covers’ his sins = shall not be blessed; = but whoever = ‘confesses’ = and = ‘leaves them’ = shall have mercy.

*** (Luke 19:8) And = Zacchaeus stood and said = to the Lord [Jesus], = Behold, Lord, = I give half of my goods = to the poor. = And = in ‘anything’ = I accused anyone ‘falsely’, = I restore it = fourfold.

This Dynamic of “Repentance in Forgiveness”… is ‘not taught’… in Churches today. If I have stolen those ‘Financial Securities’… I am then… by the right of the forgiveness from God… to make “Restitution”, for those actions. Throughout the Scriptures… one can find this Truth. You can apply… “Any Sin”… to this dynamic and plug it into… “Ephesians 4:28 & Proverbs 28:13 & Romans 6:1-2”. Most will not recognize these truths, but justify their past decisions.

True Forgiveness… “Leaves the SIN!” The word, “Repentance”… in the Bible… means having a… “Change of Mind = that is demonstrated = in a Change of Actions!” If I am forgiven by God… do I keep on ‘Sinning’… so that God’s Grace will… “Continue to Grace – in that SIN”…? “Yes or No”…? The action that caused that Sin… “Must”… be stopped… or it is not… “Real Forgiveness and Repentance”…!

“i.e.”

From “Stealing” – to – “Stealing NO More!
From “Adultery” – to – “Adultery No More!”
From “Lying” – to – “Lying NO More!”
From “Murder” – to – “Murder NO More!”

*** (Romans 6:1-2) What shall we say = then? = Shall we = ‘continue’ = in sin, = that [God’s] grace = may abound?
(Rom 6:2) “God forbid”. = How shall we, = that are dead to sin, = “LIVE = ANY LONGER = THEREIN?”

While sharing these Verses and Principles… the person told me; “Yes, but that was Israel, God’s chosen people!” Well, are you are now… “A Child of God and also His Chosen”…? Obedience in the OT is the Same Obedience in the NT = Obedience to the Holy Word of God! Will you continue in the Sin of Adultery… caused by your Adulterous Marriage = “Mark 10:11-12”. The Thief, the Liar, the Murderer and the Covetous persons… are all to Leave Their Sin = being in Christ! Will you tell me, that the Adulterer does not have to…? That is nothing but… Turning God’s Grace… in to Lasciviousness… Plain & Simple = License to do Sin!

*** (Romans 6:1-2) What shall we say = then? = Shall we = ‘continue’ = in sin, = that [God’s] grace = may abound?
(Rom 6:2) “God forbid”. = How shall we, = that are dead to sin, = “LIVE = ANY LONGER = THEREIN?”

*** (Matthew 3:8) Bring forth therefore = fruits = meet for ‘Repentance’:


*** (James 1:22) Keep on being = ‘doers’ of the Word, = and = not ‘merely’ hearers = who = ‘deceive’ themselves.


*** (Luke 6:46) And why do ‘you’ = call Me [Jesus] = Lord [Master], = Lord [Boss], = and = ‘do not’ = “Do” = what I [Jesus] = say?


*** (Luke 16:18) Any man = who divorces his wife = and = marries another woman = commits ‘adultery’, = and = the man = who ‘marries’ a woman = divorced from her husband = commits ‘adultery’."

Will YOU… Obey GOD and His Word… Or NOT…?
