“Undecided – 101”…Blog.



Many times in life… we have to make decisions. Some are big ones but many are the small mundane ones, that make up our lives. Because of the Internet we have access to a plethora of information that we did not have only some 20-years ago. Most libraries have an extensive research department. Today that same research can be done at home… ‘On Line!’ There is absolutely “No Excuse”… for anyone to say, ‘but I didn’t know about that.’

*** (Proverbs 27:23) You be diligent to know the state of your flocks, and look well to your herds.

*** (Proverbs 27:1) Do not boast yourself of tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.

*** (James 4:13-to-17) Come now, those saying, Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city and spend a year there, and we will trade and will make a profit,
(Jas 4:14) Who do not know of the morrow. For what is your life? For it is a vapor, which appears for a little time, and then disappears.
(Jas 4:15) Instead of you saying, If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.
(Jas 4:16) But now you boast in your presumptions. All such boasting is evil.
(Jas 4:17) Therefore to him who knows to do good, and does not do it, to him it is sin.

On the other hand… one may accurately say, ‘There are too many choices!’ Yes, truly there are many choices. Here in the USA there are over 400-different vehicle choices. How then would one pick one for themselves? Most of the time, it is what we are exposed to, by friends and family. Advertizing make a big difference… but then again, a person may be swayed by the “Hype” and loose the importance of an… ‘Informed Intelligent Decision!’

One has to ‘independently’… separate needs from wants. As I am partial to “Hamsters”… ‘for breakfast, lunch or dinner’… I may be swayed by the Kia advertisement [joke!]. Really, just simple planning can get one around the ‘obstacles of life.’ Even though I have good tires on my car and a good spare, I still carry a can of “Fix-A-Flat” in my vehicle along with some tools. Being prepared for the inevitable; is just good ‘common sense’. But this, seems to have been replaced, with the Cell Phone.

*** (Philippians 4:6-7) Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
(Philip 4:7) And the peace of God which passes all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

*** (1Peter 3:10-11-12) For he that wants to love life and to see good days, let him restrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking guile.
(1Pet 3:11) Let him turn aside from evil and do good. Let him seek peace and pursue it.
(1Pet 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 are taken in… by the charlatans of this world but still; ‘decision’ making is… “Your Responsibility!” Many do not what this ‘responsibility’ and will simply… “NOT make ONE!” Life goes on, with or without… any of us. Just perhaps seeing the ‘big picture’ will get anyone, over such a quandary. One simple plan… “Not to Decide is simply To Decide!” Even in ‘indecision’, one has already, made their decision. IF you choose ‘not to decide’, perhaps one will be made for you by someone else.

*** (Job 34:10-11-12) Therefore listen to me, O man of heart; far be it from God to commit iniquity; and from the Almighty, to do wrong.
(Job 34:11) For He repays man's work, and causes him to find according to his ways.
(Job 34:12) Yes, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert justice.

*** (Joshua 24:15) And if it seems evil to you to serve Jehovah, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served Beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you live. But as for me and my house, we will serve Jehovah.

*** (Acts 5:29) And Peter and the apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

*** (2Corinthians 6:1-2) Since, then, we are working with God, we plead with you not to accept God's grace in vain.
(2Cor 6:2) For he says, "At the right time I heard you, and on a day of salvation I helped you." Listen, now is really the "right time"! Now is the "day of salvation"!

The “Most Important” decision… you can make is about your ‘eternal’ destiny. Where will you spend eternity? God, the God of the Bible has made provision for mankind and most have rejected it. Christ Jesus came to set you free from both the “Power & Penalty” of… “Sin/Sins”. No, salvation is not found in a Church or Denomination… but in the Finished work of redemption, by Christ Jesus. You choose either to accept what He has done… or you decide you are good enough on your own.

*** (John 6:37-to-40) All that the Father gives Me shall come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will in no way cast out.
(John 6:38) For I came down from Heaven, not to do My own will but the will of Him who sent Me.
(John 6:39) And this is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all which He has given Me I should lose nothing but should raise it up again at the last day.
(John 6:40) And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes on Him should have everlasting life. And I will raise him up at the last day.

*** (John 10:15-to-18) Even as the Father knows Me, 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, and there shall be 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.
(John 10:18) No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down from Myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again. I have received this commandment from My Father.

Ok, but how about… those ‘every day’ decisions? Good decisions are often made from wisdom and experience. The experience comes through others or our ‘Bad & Good decisions. When I was a child, I had a pocket knife and use to whittle. One day my grandfather saw me using my knife wrong, cutting towards myself. He warned me ‘never’ to do that, because I would cut myself. Keeping my knife very sharp and with care and precision, I cut into my thumb, only to release a torrent of blood. But IF I had ‘only’ listened, I would not have this scar today. Yes, I learned the hard way and look at that scar as an adult, as a reminder of bad decisions.

*** (Romans 15:4) For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, so that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.

*** (Proverbs 16:6) By mercy and truth, iniquity is purged, and by the fear of Jehovah men turn away from evil.

*** (James 1:5-6-7) Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to everyone generously without a rebuke, and it will be given to him.
(Jas 1:6) But he must ask in faith, without any doubts, for the one who has doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.
(Jas 1:7) Such a person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.

One last thing… for the ‘Simple’ and for the ‘Difficult’ decisions of life… “Simply Ask God for Wisdom!” The more we take from Him, the more He will give us; if we ask in that simple child like faith. Does that guarantee that we will never, make a bad decision? Absolutely Not! Often times it is us that decides; ‘Only’ because we… “Want IT!” But if we learn from them… it is all… part of the process of maturation and spiritual growth in Christ.

*** (Luke 16:10-to-13) Whoever is faithful with very little is also faithful with a lot, and whoever is dishonest with very little is also dishonest with a lot.
(Luke 16:11) So if you have not been faithful with unrighteous riches, who will trust you with true wealth?
(Luke 16:12) And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to foreigners, who will give you what is your own?
(Luke 16:13) "No servant can serve two masters. For either he will hate one and love the other, or be loyal to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and riches!"

*** (Romans 8:26-27-28) In the same way, the Spirit also helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how to pray as we should. But the Spirit himself intercedes with groans too deep for words,
(Rom 8:27) And the One who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, for the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to God's will.
(Rom 8:28) And we know that He works All Things together for the good of those who love God, who are called according to His purpose.

Why NO Revival - 202 Blog.

“Why, ‘NO’ Revival – 202”…Blog.



“Revival or Restoration”… that is the ‘Question?’ Many times when Christians’ speak of ‘Revival’, they confuse it with the term, ‘Restoration’. Revival has to do with the ‘Spiritual Condition’… of a nation or peoples. Here in America, some ‘Christians’ think that we are “God’s People and God’s Nation”. Why else would one say…“God Bless America?” Sorry, but America is “NOT” a Christian nation and has ‘Never’ been such; even though it was founded only on ‘Some’, of the “Judeo Christian Ideals”.

*** (2Chronicles 7:14) if My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

*** (Ephesians 5:9-10) for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and Truth,
(Eph 5:10) Proving what is acceptable to the Lord.

*** (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.

In ‘Reality’… only the “Jews or Hebrews”… are “God’s Chosen People!” There is ‘NO’ other nation called by God and no other city called His, anywhere on this earth. Some have mistakenly taken the promises given to Israel, and made then applicable to the NT Church. God, the God of the Bible is calling out a “Peoples”… for Himself… out of every Kindred, Nation and Peoples. Those that by Faith… have trusted in the Finished Work of Christ Jesus the Messiah, and are Born again by His Holy Spirit are truly His!

*** (Romans 9:25-26-27) As He also says in Hosea, "I will call those not My people, My people; and those not beloved, Beloved."
(Rom 9:26) And it shall be, in the place where it was said to them. "You are not My people; there they shall be called sons of the living God."
(Rom 9:27) Isaiah also cries concerning Israel, "Though the number of the sons of Israel is as the sands of the sea, a remnant shall be saved.

*** (John 7:37-38-39) And in the last day of the great feast, 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 Scripture has said, "Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water."
(John 7:39) But He spoke this about the Spirit, which they who believed on Him should receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

*** (Romans 8:9-10-11) 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.
(Rom 8:10) And if Christ is in you, indeed the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
(Rom 8:11) But if the Spirit 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.

“Restoration”… is simply a restoring of the social agendas that provides a prosperity and a social conscience for a particular peoples or nation. Often people speak of the Good Old Days… when bread was ‘25-cents’ a loaf and gasoline was ‘25-cents a gallon’. There was “NOT”… the ‘four billion dollar’ a year… “Illegal Drug trade”… that zaps the moral and cultural strength of a nation. When a divorce took place it was a rare thing… but today it is as common as, the ‘common cold’. “Blushing and Shame” have been replaced with “Profanity and Nastiness”… and no one thinks it strange?

*** (Isaiah 5:20) Woe unto them = that call evil good, = and good evil; = that put darkness for light, = and light for darkness; = that put bitter for sweet, = and sweet for bitter!

*** (Matthew 24:12) And because iniquity shall abound, = the love of many will become cold.

*** (Proverbs 14:12) There is a way which seems right to a man, = but the end of it is the ways of death.

*** (Judges 21:25) In those days there was no king in Israel. = Every man did the right = in his own eyes.

Something as simple… as driving the ‘Speed Limit’ has been replace with ‘each one’… driving as fast as they want. Up to “25%” of the budget of Law Enforcement is made up by ‘Traffic Violation’ fines. That ‘Trickle Down’ effect is reflected in ‘Higher’ vehicle insurance premiums. Once I asked my insurance agent why my rates were as high as I had a ‘safe driver’ rating. She told me, “You are paying for everyone else!” Here in Florida the FDLE stated that upwards of 35% of the drivers did not have the State mandated insurance. Why do you think there is “Uninsured Motorist” insurance required?

*** (Proverbs 14:34) Righteousness lifts up a nation, =but sin is a shame to any people.

*** (Son 2:15) Take us the foxes, =the little foxes =that spoil the vines; =for our vines have tender grapes.

*** (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.


“LIFE is Not”… made up of ‘two or three’ big decisions. Nor is it a ‘cereal’ that you buy from your grocers’ cereal aisle. It is made up of those… “Hundreds of Thousands of Little Decisions”… one makes throughout their lifetime. It is that which we call… “Character or Morals”… and it comes from inside the person. It is a responsibility and a life… given over out of ‘Love’… to someone greater than ourselves. To those of us that “Know & Love Christ Jesus”… it is ‘His Love’ and ‘His Life’… living in us.

*** (Colossians 3:23) And whatever you do, = do it heartily, = as to the Lord and = not to men;


*** (Luke 17:10) So likewise you, when ye shall have done = all those things which are commanded you, say, “We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.”


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

*** (2Peter 1:2-to-9) May grace and peace be yours in abundance through the full knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord!
(2Pet 1:3) His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through the full knowledge of the one who called us by his own glory and excellence.
(2Pet 1:4) Through these he has given us his precious and wonderful promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, seeing that you have escaped the corruption that is in the world caused by evil desires.
(2Pet 1:5) For this very reason, you must make every effort to supplement your faith with moral character, your moral character with knowledge,
(2Pe 1:6) your knowledge with self-control, your self-control with endurance, your endurance with godliness,
(2Pet 1:7) your godliness with brotherly kindness, and your brotherly kindness with love.
(2Pet 1:8) For if you possess these qualities, and if they continue to increase among you, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in attaining a full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(2Pet 1:9) For the person who lacks these qualities is blind and shortsighted, and has forgotten the cleansing that he has received from his past sins.

Simply PUT… “Check Yourself!” You check your bank account to see ‘IF’ you can afford this or that. You check your pantry or refrigerator… to see what your next meal with be. And of course you check your vehicle gas… to make sure you buy it at the best price. All these things and many more about life; are under your ‘constant scrutiny’. But what about you… and who you are… and ‘why you do’… what you do?

*** (2Corinthians 13:5) Keep examining yourselves to see whether you are continuing in the faith. Test yourselves! You know, do not you, that Jesus Christ lives in you? Could it be that you are failing the test?

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

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

*** (John 12:48-49-50) He who rejects Me [Jesus] and does not receive My Words has one who judges him; the Word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
(John 12:49) For I have not spoken of Myself, but the Father [God] who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say, and what I should speak.
(John 12:50) And I know that His command is life everlasting. Therefore whatever I speak, even as the Father said to Me, so I speak.

*** (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.

There will “NEVER”… be any revival or restoration… till those ‘WHO’… really ‘know & love’… JESUS… get their lives in ‘obedience’ to His Holy Word… and start walking in His Spirit… in that ‘True Obedience’… that comes out of Love to and for Him… “Lord of Lords” & “King of Kings!”

Thanks, In Christ, Roger.

“Politics – 101”…Blog.

“Politics – 101”…Blog.



What is the Worlds… ‘Planet Earths’… “Largest Religion?” Perhaps it is simply “Politics!” It can be found in ‘every’ country, on ‘every’ continent and ‘all peoples’ participate in one manner or another. They will argue, lie, cheat and steal… for their ‘Agenda’ and hold the ‘Party Line’ against ‘any’ opponent! Try and present ‘Facts’… and you will be written off as… “Racist!” The media has their Favorite and will through ‘Omission and Inference’… slander their opposition. Their spin doctors will… “Obfuscate [LIE] The Truth”… and try an turn “Truth” into ‘Fables!’ Yes, Politics is the world’s… “Largest Religion!”

*** (Luke 16:13) "No servant can serve two masters. For either he will hate one and love the other, or be loyal to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and riches!"

*** (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!

*** (Proverbs 10:18) He who hides hatred with lying lips, and he who speaks a slander, is a fool.

“Those that ‘do not’ remember History… Will ‘Soon’ repeat It!” Here in America, our founding fathers wrote a constitution and a bill of rights. It said that Congress shall not… “XYZ!” But the Judges at the ‘Local State and Federal Levels’… have done a ‘run around’… the constitution; ‘nullifying’ what Bills have passed the legislatures. In essence they have overturned the law and constitution with a single… ‘Unauthorized Legal Decision’. Say it isn’t so…? History and Morals… has demonstrated that “Marriage” is between ‘a man & a woman’. “Not” between two men or two women. One of the “Cesars of Rome”… had a horse as a ‘domestic partner’. How soon before the laws are overturned… and our ‘national health’ care… will be paying ‘Veterinary’ bills for ‘an animal’ domestic partner?

*** (Matthew 24:12) And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many will become cold.

*** (2Thessalonians 2:7) For the mystery of lawlessness is already working, only he is now holding back until it comes out of the midst.

*** (Ecclesiastes 8:11) Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

About now… those that do not vote, should take a look at the ‘Slippery Slope’ of our “Nations Degradation”. Two states have ‘Suicide’ caveats in their Laws! It is getting worse… like spoiled food. Spoiled food ‘is not’ fit for human consumption; without ‘serious’ medical complications and even ‘death’. Remember the recall of ‘food products’ last year; that caused death in a number before the Government would do something? So it is with the Health… of Any Nation! The Family Unit and the Spiritual Condition of any country… will either help it… or hasten it to ruination.

*** (Proverbs 14:34) Righteousness lifts up a nation, but sin is a shame to any people.

*** (Proverbs 22:7) The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

*** (Proverbs 14:12) There is a way which seems right to a man, but the end of it is the ways of death.

*** (Proverbs 16:17-17) The way of the upright is to turn away from evil; he who keeps his way guards his way.

*** (Proverbs 16:18) Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

Old Testament Israel… had a “Covenant from God”, the God of the Bible. He promised to Bless them; IF they kept God’s Ways… and to Curse them… if they disobeyed. Over and over again, God sent His Prophets and ‘Men of God’ [1Kings 13:all], and messengers to say… “Thus says the Lord…!” Israel disobeyed and God aloud… “Wicked Kings and Rulers”… to overtake them, to chasten then to repent! They were “Spanked by God” [chastened]… for their evil… and still they would not listen. Each one… simply wanted their ‘own way’… much like people today! Does America have a President… that Fears God… “Ecclesiastes 12:13-14?” Absolutely NOT!

*** (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.

*** (Zechariah 7:11-12-13) But they refused to listen, and gave a stubborn shoulder, and made heavy their ears from hearing.
(Zech 7:12) And they made their hearts adamant from hearing the Law and the Words which Jehovah of Hosts has sent through His Spirit, by the former prophets. And great wrath came from Jehovah of Hosts.
(Zech 7:13) And it will be, as He called, and they did not listen, so they called, and I did not listen, says Jehovah of Hosts.

*** (John 8:47) He who is of God hears God's Words. Therefore you do not hear them because you are not of God.

“One Nation under God”… may be on our money, but… “NOT in our Hearts!” The recent controversy over the Mosque in NYC near ground zero has people “Polarized!” In this blog link below this paragraph, some statements are made. Just today, some of my FB friends removed me from their list and blocked my comments to their site. Why…? Because they seemed more concerned… about the memory of the ‘3400’ Americans killed by the “9–11” Terrorists! What about the… “Over 55,000,000 – Million = Innocent Babies = Killed by Abortion, = by American Mothers”…? Something is wrong… when ‘Politics’ takes over… “Right Thinking!” Save ‘Ground Zero’… but forget about those “Innocent Babies”…? Speak out about ‘Ground Zero’… but “Do NOT” ‘speak out’… about & for those… “Innocent Babies”…? Their shed blood ‘cries out’ in Judgment… “To God”… ‘Against America’…!

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/08/double-standard-101blog.html


*** (Genesis 4:10) And He said, What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries to Me from the ground.

*** (Jeremiah 11:14) And you, = do not pray for this people, = nor lift up a cry or prayer for them. For I [God] will not hear them in the time = they cry to Me for their trouble.

*** (Isaiah 59:4) None calls for justice, nor does anyone plead for truth; they trust in vanity and speak lies. They conceive mischief and bring out iniquity.

*** (Proverbs 21:15) It is joy to the just to do judgment, but ruin shall be to the workers of iniquity.

About now… someone is thinking about… “2Chronicles 12:14”… and God’s Promise to Israel about ‘Repentance and Restoration’. Do you not realize that the promises to Israel… are “NOT”… for the NT Church…? When “One or a Nation”… continually ‘rejects’ God and His Holy Word, the Bible… how then can they cry out and expect God… to restore their nation…? God does not have a Covenant with any other nation… but Israel! They will be restored with Christ Jesus reigns here on earth… for 1,000–years!

*** (Numbers 32:23) But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against Jehovah. And be sure your sin will find you out.

*** (Galatians 6:7) Do not be deceived, God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows, that he also will reap.

“God is NOT”… ‘Santa Clause’, and our nation has been “Very Evil!” Sure, there are really some Genuine Born Again, by the Holy Spirit of God… Christians here in this nation. Salvation is an “Individual Issue”… and “Not” a ‘corporate issue’… of and for… ‘our nation’. Revival ‘may’ take place in the individual… but how can it be a national issue… when so ‘very many’… “Do NOT”… believe the Bible, the Holy Word of God…?

*** (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.

*** (Amos 4:10-11) I have sent the plague among you in the way of Egypt; I have slain your young men with the sword, and have taken away your horses. And I have made the stench of your camps to come up into your nostrils; yet you have not returned to Me, says Jehovah.
(Amos 4:11) I have overthrown some among you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a firebrand plucked out of the burning; yet you have not returned to Me, says Jehovah.

*** (Habakkuk 3:17-18-19) Though the fig tree shall not blossom, and fruit is not on the vines; the labor of the olive fails, and the fields yield no food. The flock is cut off from the fold, and no herd is in the stalls;
(Habakkuk 3:18) yet I will rejoice in Jehovah, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
(Habakkuk 3:19) Jehovah the Lord is my strength, and He will make my feet like hinds' feet, and He will make me to walk on my high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.

Perhaps if this discussion… does not make you think about God and His Holy Word… this surely will! The ever rising deficit… is not repayable… with our current GNP [Gross National Production]. Just the interest alone is over… 1,000,000,000–Billion dollars a year. We owe more to other nations, and are selling off our Jobs to offshore conglomerates. What then will become of our Nation… the ‘ONE You call’… “One Nation Under God”…? Simply look at this debt clock… and weep like you never have before! Just WHO… will you vote for…? More Change to a European Socialist Model of America…?

*** (Isaiah 1:15-16-17) And when you spread out your hands, I will hide My eyes from you; yea, when you make many prayers, I will not hear; your hands are full of blood.
(Isa 1:16) Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes; cease to do evil;
(Isa 1:17) learn to do good; seek judgment, reprove the oppressor. Judge the orphan, plead for the widow.

*** (Jeremiah 22:21) I spoke to you in your prosperity; but you said, I will not hear. This has been your way from your youth, for you have not obeyed My voice.

*** (Jeremiah 3:20) Surely as a wife treacherously departs from her husband, so you have dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel [America by application of principle], says Jehovah.

“Left Behind – 202”…Blog [2/?].

“Left Behind – 202”…Blog [2/?].



Just perhaps… after all the comments and direct emails… thought it might be prudent to add some additional thoughts to this blog? Most important is what God, the God of the Bible says in His Holy Word… about His love and care… for the Sinners? How and why Christ died… to set us free from “Both” the ‘Penalty & the Power’ of… “Sin/Sins!” Sin is the root… Sins are the fruit! Perhaps when we see as God has showed us in His Word, we will see as He sees…?

*** (Ezekiel 18:23) Do I actually delight in the death of the wicked? says the Lord Jehovah. Is it not that he should turn [Repent] from his ways and live?

*** (Ezekiel 18:32) For I have no delight in the death of him who dies, says the Lord Jehovah. Therefore turn and live.

*** (2Peter 3:9) The Lord is not slow concerning His promise, as some count slowness, but is long-suffering toward us, not purposing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

*** (Acts 17:30-31-32) Truly, then, God overlooking the times of ignorance, now He strictly commands all men everywhere to repent,
(Act 17:31) because He has appointed a day in which He is going to judge the world in righteousness by a Man whom He appointed, having given proof to all by raising Him from the dead.
(Act 17:32) And hearing of a resurrection of the dead, some indeed mocked; and others said, We will hear you again concerning this.

About now… we can see the heart of God, and just how He feels about those that will “NOT Repent!” The word in the NT Greek… ‘Repent’… simply means… “Having a ‘Change’ of Mind = demonstrated by = a ‘Change’ in Actions!” Those that say they are In Christ… and live like they did before are Not Really Born Again… by His Holy Spirit! IF God wants all to Repent… then He has given all… Repentance… and they have “Willingly Rejected”… “God’s Commands”… as well of the rest of His Word!

*** (Luke 13:3-4-5) I [Jesus] tell you, No. But unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.
(Luke 13:4) Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were sinners above all men who lived in Jerusalem?
(Luke 13:5) I tell you, No. But unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.

*** (John 6:37-to-40) ALL = that the Father gives Me shall come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will in no way cast out.
(John 6:38) For I came down from Heaven, not to do My own will but the will of Him who sent Me.
(John 6:39) And this is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all which He has given Me I should lose nothing but should raise it up again at the last day.
(John 6:40) And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes on Him should have everlasting life. And I will raise him up at the last day.

*** (Psalms 98:2-3) Jehovah God has made known His salvation; His righteousness He has unveiled to the eyes of the nations.
(Psalms 98:3) He has remembered His mercy and His truth toward the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of Jehovah.

*** (Romans 1:20) For the unseen things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being realized by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, for them to be = “WITHOUT – EXCUSE”.

“NO One”… will have any excuse to be able to give to God… about why they “Rejected Him!” Even His design and order of life and creation… are a witness to those… looking for His light. God intended for Israel His chosen people to share the Goodness and Glory of God. But they Refused over and over again. So after Christ the Messiah came and was… Rejected… the Gospel was given to the Gentiles! Yes even now… there is a remnant of Believing Jews…who know and trust in the Finished Work of Redemption… by Christ Jesus!

*** (2Chronicles 6:32-33) And also to the stranger who is not of Your people Israel, but has come from a far country for Your great name's sake, and Your mighty hand, and Your stretched out arm, if they come and pray in this house;
(2Ch 6:33) then hear from Heaven, from Your dwelling-place, and do according to all that the stranger calls to You for, so that all people of the earth may know Your name, and fear You, as Your people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by Your name.

*** (Luke 21:24) And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

*** (John 1:9) He [Jesus] was the true Light, which lights = every man = that cometh into the world.

Recently, someone asked me… “What about those that ‘do not’ come to Christ, did Christ die for their sins also…? Is there a ‘Limited Atonement’… only for those that come to Christ Jesus? Absolutely Yes! Perhaps I may share with you my understanding of this fact?

1. I give you a check for… “10,000 dollars!”


2. You thank me and ‘Never’ cash that check!


3. You think that it is charity but I tell you it is ‘grace’ with no strings attached.


4. Still… you want to succeed on your own, with the help of no one.


5. You die…!


6. Your heirs close your estate and find my check to you for the money.


7. They go to the Bank… and try and cash my check, made out to you.


8. The bank informs them… sorry the person is dead; the funds are “Non-Transferable!”


That is a ‘word picture’… of “Salvation”. God calls “All” mankind to Himself. Many refuse His gift of Grace in payment for their… “Sin / Sins.” Their ‘Refusal’ to cash their check, the… “Gift of God”… will leave one… without the ‘eternal’ payment for their… “Sin / Sins!” This… Atonement by Christ Jesus for YOU… is paid for by the… “Death, Burial and Resurrection of Himself”… But…rejected by You! Where then do you expect to spend eternity… after spitting in the face of God and refusing His gift of Grace to you? This is the Gospel… that we communicate as… “Evangelism = You are Witnesses of these Things… “Luke 24:44-to-49”

(Hebrews 10:29) How much = more = severe a punishment = do you think = that person deserves = who tramples on = God's Son, = treats as common = the blood of the covenant = by which it was sanctified, = and = insults = the Spirit of grace?

*** (John 6:44) No one can come to Me unless the Father who has sent Me draw him, and I will raise him up at the last day.

*** (1Timothy 2:5) For God is one, and there is one Mediator of God and of men, the Man Christ Jesus,

*** (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!

*** (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.

*** (John 17:17) Sanctify them through Your Truth. Your Word is Truth.


Those that will come to Christ… will do so! Once again… “ALL – That the Father [God]… gives to Me [Jesus]… will come to Me!” Did you notice that Jesus did not say, few or some… but ALL…! All one must do is to simply present the Holy Word of God to the sinner. He or she… will be convicted by God’s Holy Spirit. It is then… Only Their Choice… to accept or to reject… God and His Word. But you can pray for that person… as we are commanded to in the Scriptures.

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

*** (John 7:38-39) He who believes on Me, as the Scripture has said, "Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water."
(John 7:39) But He spoke this about the Spirit, which they who believed on Him should receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

*** (John 16:8-to-11) And when that One [Holy Spirit] comes, He will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment.
(John 16:9) Concerning sin, because they do not believe on Me;
(John 16:10) concerning righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more;
(John 16:11) concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

*** (John 14:15-to-18) If you love Me, keep My commandments.
(John 14:16) And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, so that He may be with you forever,
(John 14:17) the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive because it does not see Him nor know Him. But you know Him, for He dwells with you and shall be in you.
(John 14:18) I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you.

Thanks, In Christ, Roger.

“Left Behind – 101”…Blog.

“Left Behind – 101”…Blog.



(1Thessalonians 5:21) Prove all things; = hold fast that which is good.


Have you read… the book or seen the video, “Left Behind? This is another duplication of the “Thief in the Night” philosophy of some years ago. It implies, that the… ‘Intended’… was somehow left behind, when they should have been taken along. Did you ever ‘leave’ behind somewhere a pair of sunglasses or something of value? Of course we all have. But this “False Theory”… shared with Believers… is perpetrated by those, who… “Do Not”… know the Scriptures nor what evangelism really means.

*** (John 6:37-38-39) ALL = that the Father gives Me shall come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will in no way cast out.
(John 6:38) For I came down from Heaven, not to do My own will but the will of Him who sent Me.
(John 6:39) And this is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all which He has given Me I should = LOSE NOTHING = but should raise it up again at the last day.

*** (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.

*** (John 17:24-25-26) Father, I desire that those whom You have given Me, that they may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me, for You have loved Me before the foundation of the world.
(John 17:25) O righteous Father, indeed the world has not known You; but I have known You, and these have known that You have sent me.
(John 17:26) And I made known to them Your name, and will make it known, so that the love with which You have loved Me may be in them, and I in them.

There are many… such verses in the “OT & NT” about those that are His. Surely after reading these verses, one cannot ‘seriously’ believe that… anyone that is His, will be… ‘Left Behind’…? This is one of the problems, that through Church history, many have been in error. All denominations are manmade and there is ‘not one’ denomination that is God made. Consequently ‘many’, simply listen to the preacher, without validating what was said… by the Holy Scriptures, the Bible!

*** (Matthew 22:29) Jesus answered and said to them, You err, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.

*** (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.

*** (Ephesians 5:9-10) for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and Truth,
(Eph 5:10) proving what is acceptable to the Lord.

About now… one can see that “Only The Scriptures” can be used to ‘Validate’… “God’s Truth!” May I ask you a simple question? Where is Satan’s camp, and where is his greatest work? May I suggest… that it is “NOT”, in the ‘World’, because the Scriptures say that he has ‘blinded’ those that do not believe…“2Continthians 4:3-4”…? His greatest work is in the ‘Organized Church’, in the denominations that tote their party line! Say it isn’t so…? Perhaps this will help you understand this Truth?

*** (2Corinthians 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.

*** (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.
(2Pet 2:2) And = MANY =will follow their pernicious ways, and because of them the way of truth will be evil spoken of.

*** (Mark 8:33) But when He [Jesus] had turned around and looked on His disciples, He rebuked Peter, saying, Go behind Me, Satan! For you do not mind the things of God, but of the things of men.

*** (Galatians 2:11-to-16) But when Peter came to Antioch, I [Paul] opposed him to his face, because he was to be blamed.
(Gal 2:12) For before some came from James, he ate with the gentiles. But when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those of the circumcision.
(Gal 2:13) And the rest of the Jews also dissembled with him, so as even Barnabas was led away with their dissembling.
(Gal 2:14) But when I saw that they did not walk uprightly with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before all, If you, being a Jew, live as a Gentile, and not as the Jews, why do you compel the gentiles to act like Jews?
(Gal 2:15) We Jews by nature, and not sinners of the gentiles,
(Gal 2:16) knowing that a man is = NOT = justified by works of the Law, but through faith in Jesus Christ; even we believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith in Christ, and not by works of the Law. For all flesh will not be justified by works of law.

Here are ‘Two’… different examples. The first are “False Christians”… who purposely are in the Churches to ruin the validity of the Scriptures. Yes, if Satan could come as an angel of light, his false ministers and workers… so too ‘only’ appear to be righteous. There is an easy way… ‘to test them’… by simply applying the “Holy Word of God”, and checking their reactions. Those whether in the pulpit or in the congregation that ‘do not’ hold to… “The Complete and Only Authority of the Scriptures”… surely are ‘not’ of God, the God of the Bible.

*** (John 17:17) Sanctify them through Your truth. Your Word is truth.

*** (Jeremiah 23:29) Is not My Word like a fire? says Jehovah; and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?

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

The ‘other’ group… are the redeemed; who out of sheer ignorance and immaturity; speak out of the flesh… instead of speaking, validated by the “Holy Word of God!” Peter had… ‘the foot in mouth’… disease. Often times he spoke out of his flesh… rather than by, ‘It is written!’ His growing in grace and in the knowledge and admonition of the Lord, which can be seen in his later epistles of… “1 & 2Peter”. By then, though experience and his yielding to “The Word”… Peter went on to ‘Spiritual Maturity.’ So is it with all that are ‘Truly Born Again’… by the Holy Spirit of God! Remember this simple verse… “(John 3:30) He must increase, but I must decrease.”

*** (2Timothy 2:15-16) Study earnestly to present yourself approved to God, a workman that does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth.
(2Tim 2:16) But shun profane, vain babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness.

*** (2Timothy 3:13-to-17) But evil men and seducers will go forward to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
(2Tim 3:14) But continue in the things that you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them,
(2Tim 3:15) and that from a babe you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
(2Tim 3:16) All Scripture is God-breathed, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
(2Tim 3:17) that the man of God may be perfected, thoroughly furnished to every good work.

*** (Psalms 119:11) I have hidden Your Word in my heart, so that I might not sin against You.


*** (2Peter 3:18) But grow in grace and in knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him, be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

*** (2Peter 3:15-16) And think of the long-suffering of our Lord as salvation as our beloved brother Paul also has written to you according to the wisdom given to him
(2Pet 3:16) as also in all his letters, = speaking in them of these things; = in which are some things hard to be understood, = which the unlearned and unstable pervert, = as also they do the rest of the Scriptures, = to their own destruction.

One last thing… you have been ‘Born Again’… for how long…? Christ has called His ones to be His ‘Soldiers’… “2Timothy 2:3-4-5”… to uphold the Truth of His Holy Word! If you say you Love Jesus… then you will also… Love His Word & Know His Word!

*** (Luke 6:46) And why do you call Me [Jesus] Lord, Lord, and do not do what I say?


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


*** (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.


Isn’t it about Time - 101?

“A Christian writes a Catholic – 606”…Blog [6/6]

“A Christian writes a Catholic – 606”…Blog [6/6]



*** (1Corinthians 9:16) For though I preach the gospel, no glory is to me. For necessity is laid on me; yea, = WOE is to me = if = I do not preach the gospel!

There have been a variety of responses… that have tried to ‘side track’ these discussions. It is no pleasure to me, to show the lies of any religion and I do not. What I am commanded to do… by the Scriptures… is to “Preach the Word!” The above Bible verse says “WHY!” I do not share a religion… nor a denomination… but what the “Holy Word of God” says! And yet all the responses have ‘not’ been to the ‘subjects’ covered… but personal preferences how the Catholics practice their Religion. “NO Response”… has directly addressed the… “Catholic False Teachings”… in ‘OPPOSITION’… to the Bible…? Instead… ‘ONLY’… what the Catholics teach?

*** (Matthew 4:4) But He [Jesus] 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."

*** (2Timothy 4:2-3-4) preach the Word, be instant in season and out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine.
(2Tim 4:3) For a time will be when they = will not endure sound doctrine, = but they will heap up teachers to themselves according to their own lusts, tickling the ear.
(2Tim 4:4) And they will turn away their ears = from the Truth = and will be turned to myths.

There is ‘another’ reason… why I share the Truth of the Bible with Catholics. Before I came to Christ, and was Born Again by His Holy Spirit… “I was a Practicing Catholic”. When my eyes and ears was opened by Him… I still have a burden for those lost Catholics. They are ‘caught & trapped’… in those religious practices that will “Never”… get them to Heaven! There is a Command from God, the God of the Bible… is to warn both the “Righteous”… and the “Un-Righteous!”

*** (John 6:44) No one can come to Me [Jesus] unless the Father [God], Who has sent Me draw him, and I will raise him up at the last day.

*** (James 3:1) Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, = because you know that = we who teach = will be judged = more severely.

*** (Ezekiel 3:18-to-21) 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.

This will be a summation… of the preceding blogs in this discussion. Once again, “All Denominations are Man Made!” The Body of Christ = The Bride of Christ = the Church of Christ JESUS… Is “NOT” A Denomination… called the Catholic Church. It is a body of True Believers, Born Again by God’s Holy Spirit… Eternally Sealed with His Holy Spirit… till the Resurrection and Judgment of all mankind. The Catholic does not understand… from the Scriptures… this God Work… of His Holy Spirit… to form the Body of Christ, The Bride of Christ, the Church of Christ. And NOT what the Catholics call… ‘The Church’… the ‘Catholic Denomination!’

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/08/christian-writes-catholic-101blog.html  


In this first Blog… I covered some of the things the Catholic is taught. The Catholics are taught ONLY by the Catholic Church, as to control their input and thinking. Never are they told to study the Scriptures on their own. I shared my testimony about how I came to Christ, with a link to my testimony in blog form. There was a discussion about Praying to Mary… and what the Bible says… again referencing another Blog. Also discussed the priest and the confessional… and how NO Catholic could be forgiven with Confession and Absolution. A total of seven blog references with “BIBLE VERSES” as my point of reference. Water baptism does “NOT” make one a Christian…! That is a False Catholic Teaching…!

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/08/christian-writes-catholic-202blog-2.html  


This blog… discussed how the early church leaders had the Epistles and Gospel letters for reference. The Bible is the “Only Point of Reference”… for the ‘True Believer’. Referenced were what the Catholics did to Jan Huss, Galileo, and others martyred by the Catholic Church. There were also numerous Bible verses that showed the “Holy Spirit Sealing”… of the ‘True Believer’. Internet references were also provided as points of further discussion. Included was a simple prayer… to ask God, to be ‘YOUR’… “Lord & Savior”.

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/08/christian-writes-catholic-303blog-3.html  


This blog... referenced “The Bible” and ‘NOT’ Catholic Teaching for Salvation. God’s Salvation is ONLY by… God’s Grace alone. Also discussed was… “Why Catholics”… still have Christ Jesus on the Cross… when He is Risen! Included was a reference to a Blog about “Heaven & Hell”… demonstrating from the Scriptures… a person’s “Immediate Placement”… after death. It also discussed the “Permanency of Salvation in Christ”… instead of the Catholic ‘NOT’ Knowing for Sure. There were three more blog references.

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/08/christian-writes-catholic-404a-blog-4a.html


This blog… discussed the Catholic practice of the Mass and completely covered the False Catholic belief of… “Transubstantiation”. It refuted that belief… with the Scriptures and the Catholic… misunderstanding about… “The Finished Work of Redemption”, by Christ Jesus… The Passover lamb of God. Also discussed with blog and Scripture references was the “Holy Spirit”… that Seals those “Truly Born Again”. The Bible references ‘Plainly & Completely’ showed that… Christ is “NEVER” Sacrificed Again… and that the ‘wafer & juice’… are “NOT” the Body & Blood of Christ.

It was demonstrated with the Scriptures… “The JUST… shall Live By Faith”… and that communion is a representation of that… “ONE SACRIFICE”… “FOR ALL MANKIND”… Never to be repeated. Catholics ‘NEVER’ understand… ‘Communion is ONLY’… 1Corinthinns 11:25…!

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/08/christian-writes-catholic-505blog-5.html


This blog… refutes the Catholic Church teaching of Good Friday. In Fact… the Scriptures teach… that Christ indeed died on Thursday and NOT On Friday. IF Christ died on Friday, he would ONLY have two nights in the Grace… NOT… the Three, that Jesus spoke about… “As Jonah was n the belly of the fish, so much the Son of Man… be three days and three nights… in the earth. There are Many such Catholic teachings and practices that I did not discuss.

*** (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.


This last blog… is a summation. ‘NO Catholic’… has demonstrated with the “Scriptures”… proof… of any of their False Religious Practices. The ‘praying to Mary’… and to the Saints; Medals and Statutes and so on… are ‘all’ a violation of Scripture… “Exodus 20:4”. The making of the… sign of the cross… blessing one’s self… Holy Water [no such thing]… the lighting of candles and ‘ALL’ the “Other Religious Trappings” of the Catholic Church. “None” of these Religious Practices… will earn any Catholic… any Kudos… with God, the God of the Bible.

*** (John 17:17) Sanctify them through Your Truth. Your Word is Truth.

*** (Acts 11:26) And finding him, he brought him to Antioch. And it happened to them a whole year they were assembled in the church. And they taught a considerable crowd. And the disciples were first called = Christian = in Antioch. [Not Catholic]

*** (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."

*** (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, Lord, = and do not do = what I say?

*** (2Peter 3:15-16) Think of our Lord's patience as salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him.
(2Pet 3:16) He speaks about this subject in all his letters. Some things in them are hard to understand, = which ignorant and unstable people = distort to their own destruction, = as they do the rest of the Scriptures.


Last, but “Not Least”… I have told you so… that when “WE”… “ALL”… ‘Stand together before God”… to be Judged, “I will NEVER”… have to say… “I ‘never’ told them”… because I did ‘not’ want to offend them. IF your neighbor’s house was on FIRE… would you not give them warning…? Yes, I gave you a ‘warning’ and even asked “YOU” [reader] to… “Search the Scriptures for Yourself!” You either chose “NOT TO” because of your Catholic Teachings… or you are still searching for the “Real Truth”… found ‘Only’ in the Scriptures! Do you know what God said about those that… “Search for Him”…? Open your Bible and look at… Jeremiah 29:11-12-13…? “Search for HIM”… with all your… “HEART”…!

What you ‘do not’ know… is because you are ‘NOT Properly’… “Taught the Scriptures”… is that GOD… holds ‘His Word’… “Above HIS ‘OWN’… NAME!” Open your Bible and look at… “Psalms 138:2”. In addition Christ Jesus said HE would JUDGE YOU… with His Word… “John 12:48-49-50”… What God told… “HIM = JESUS”… to Speak! Again, open your Bible and reread those verses? You will either believe God’s Word… or your Catholic teaching. But you always put your Religious Catholic Practices… before & above… the Holy Word of God!

One Last Thing… when you stand before Christ… “Will You tell HIM”… that ‘you’ kept your “Catholic Beliefs”… or… “His Word”…? They are “NOT” the same, as demonstrated in these blogs. Here is His Warning in… “His Word” and… “His Judgment”…

*** (Revelation 20:10-15) And the Devil who deceived them was cast into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet were. And he will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
(Rev 20:11) 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.

Thank you for your time and ‘Prayerful Consideration’ of these Bible Verses…!

(1Thessalonians 5:21) Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.


(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.

(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.

(Luke 16:31) And he said to him, If they = do NOT = hear Moses and the Prophets, = they will NOT = be persuaded, = even though one rose from the dead.

In Christ, Roger / "Ezekiel 2:7".

“A Christian writes a Catholic – 505”…Blog. [5/?]



This is the fifth… in this series of a discussion about what the ‘Catholic Church’ teaches and what ‘The Bible’ says. Many in the Catholic have been taught that Good Friday is when Christ died after His crucifixion. If you will simply read in Genesis, The Word says… and the Evening and the Morning, were the First, Second and so on. The Jewish day begins at 6 PM in the evening till… the next evening, that is “One Day!” One day + one night = one day!

“Good Friday” or “Good Thursday”…?

Recently someone asked… about the “Resurrection of Christ Jesus”. There are several facts to be considered. Easter is celebrated by most Churches, but the nomenclature is ‘incorrect.’ Easter is in fact, a pagan holiday, with all its trappings of Easter bunnies and colored eggs and candy. Correctly, it should be called “Resurrection Sunday”. Most know that Christ Jesus was crucified by the Roman soldiers with the full approval of the Jewish religious leaders, repeatedly shouting …“Crucify Him!”

*** (Luke 23:38) And = an inscription = also was written = over Him = in letters of Greek = and Latin = and Hebrew, = “This Is = THE KING = OF THE JEWS”.

“Resurrection Sunday”… often called Easter, is also celebrated with a wrongly with a day called, ‘Good Friday.’ But herein is the problem with that… “How could Christ be in the grave… ‘Three days and three nights’… “IF”… He was crucified on Friday?” Sorry, He, Christ Jesus was ‘Not’ crucified on Friday. Again, the celebration of ‘Good Friday’ is a complete mistake. Many make an accounting error and many make excuses for time accounting counting sundown as a day, when it starts the evening.

*** (Matthew 12:40) For as Jonah = was = ‘three days’ = and = ‘three nights’ = in the belly of the huge fish, = so the Son of Man = shall be = ‘three days’ = and = ‘three nights’ = in the heart of the earth.

Most Religions do not use… the ‘Bible Truth’ for their point of reference. Instead they substitute their Church teaching for Truth. Perhaps the first thing in this discussion is to see… “Who Raised the Body of Jesus?” Ask most people and they will tell you that God, the God of the Bible, raised Jesus. Most do not know that Christ Jesus said… “The He raised His own body!” Did you know that…?

*** (John 2:19-to-22) Jesus answered = and said to them, = Destroy this temple = and in = ‘three days’ = “ I ” = will raise it up.
(John 2:20) Then the Jews said, = This temple was forty-six years building, = and will you = rear it up = in three days?
(John 2:21) But = He spoke = of the temple = of His body.
(John 2:22) Therefore = when He = had risen = from the dead, = His disciples remembered = that = He had said ‘this’ to them, = and = they believed the Scripture = and = ‘the word’ = which Jesus had said.

Many do ‘not’ know this…! Often time I share this with that religion called, ‘Jehovah Witnesses.’ You see they “Deny”, that Christ Jesus is God. There are other Pseudo Christian religions that also deny these Bible Facts. His disciples understood these facts, John 2:22 and remembered His word and believed Him. But are there more verses that validate that Truth…?

*** (John 10:17-18) Therefore = My Father [God] = loves Me [Jesus], = because = I = lay down = My life = so that = I = might take it [up] again.
(John 10:18) No one = takes it from Me, = but = I = lay it down = from Myself. = I = have authority = to lay it down, = and = I = have authority = to take it [up] again. = I = have received = this commandment = from My Father.

Since the Scriptures have established… that Christ Jesus laid down His life and He Himself… took it up again. Ok but what about the difference in the… “Three days and the Three nights”… in the grave? IF He was crucified on Friday [night – one]… Saturday [night – two]… Sunday [night – 3]…? Oops…? Wasn’t He raised on Sunday Morning…? Yes He was… so He could “NOT” possibly have been… ‘Crucified on Friday.’ Ok, so what is the solution? The answer is in the Bible and… “Not in Church teaching and Tradition!” The key, is the word… ‘Preparation’.

*** (Matthew 27:62) And = on the next day, = which was after = the Preparation, = the chief priests and the Pharisees = gathered to Pilate,

*** (Mark 15:42) And it, = becoming evening already, = since it was = the Preparation, = that is, = “the day” = before Sabbath,

*** (Luke 23:54) And = that day was = the Preparation, = and = the Sabbath drew on.

*** (John 19:31) Then the Jews, = because it was = Preparation, = begged Pilate = that their legs might be broken, = and = that they might be taken away, = so that the bodies = should not remain on the cross = on the Sabbath. = For that Sabbath was a ‘high day’.

*** (John 19:42) There, then, = because of = the Preparation = of the Jews, = because the tomb was near, = they laid Jesus.

Do you know about… “The Year of Jubilee”…? Under the Law of God, slaves were free every ‘seven years.’ On the “50th year, called the year of Jubilee [Jubile – KJV] all Israel was to free all debts and all the original property returned to each person of those 12-tribes. So as the land was to lay fallow every seven years, “7-x-7=49”, there was no planting in that year. And there was no planting, 50th - in the year of Jubilee either. This day called… the Preparation… fell during the Year of Jubilee.

*** (Jonah 1:17) And = Jehovah [God] = had prepared = a great fish = to swallow up Jonah. = And Jonah = was in the belly = of the fish = ‘three days’ = and = ‘three nights’.

Forty Two times, the term “Three days & Three Nights”… is used in the Scriptures. Each and every time, in the OT Hebrew, it strictly means, “Three Days & Three Nights!” There is no question that this was part of the prophecy that Christ Jesus… would be a Jonah, “Three days & Three Nights”… in the Earth. Lets’ do the Math…? Christ Jesus was “Crucified on the Preparation = Thursday [one-night] as He was buried before Sundown. Friday [two-night] and Saturday [third-night]… Which counts for ‘Three Nights’… in the Earth.

*** (Matthew 28:1) But late in the week, = at the dawning into = the first day of the week, = Mary Magdalene and the other Mary = came to see the tomb.

*** (Mark 16:2) And = very early in the morning, = the first day of the week, = they came upon the tomb, = the sun having risen.

The First Day of the Week… “Sunday!” The Jews ended their week on the Sabbath, the day of rest, as commanded by the Law of God. Sunday became the first day of the week, as the NT Church took it as the day of worship. Traditional Good Friday was the convenient day to start the Resurrection Sunday celebration. The Communion service is part and parcel of this resurrection celebration. As it celebrates the death, burial and resurrection of Christ Jesus.

*** (Matthew 15:8-9) "This people = draws near to Me [God] = with their mouth, = and = honors Me = with their lips, = but their heart = is far = from Me.
(Matt 15:9) But in vain = they worship Me, = teaching for doctrines = the commandments of men."

*** (Mark 7:7-8-9) However, = they worship Me [God] = in vain, = teaching for doctrines = the commandments of men."
(Mark 7:8) For = laying aside = the commandment of God, = you hold = the tradition of men, = the drippings of pots and cups. = And = many other = such things you do.
(Mark 7:9) And = He [Jesus] = said to them, = Do you do well = to set aside = the commandment of God, = so that you = may keep = your own tradition?

Perhaps now is the time… to ask you to examine what you believe about God and your Traditional Practice of your “Faith in God”. Many times, there are ‘other religious’ trappings and practices that have “Nothing” to do with God or His Word… The Bible! Do you believe the Scriptures... or what the Catholic Church teaches, they are NOT the Same!

*** (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.

*** (Ephesians 5:9-10) For = the fruit = of the Spirit = consists of every form = of = goodness, = righteousness, = and = Truth.
(Eph 5:10) Proving = what is acceptable = to the Lord,

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

“A Christian writes a Catholic – 404/A” Blog… [4A/?]

“A Christian writes a Catholic – 404/A” Blog… [4/?]



Throughout this ‘discussion’… I have presented both what the CC teaches… and what the Bible says. “None” of the responses have refuted = any of the Bible verses posted… with “Other Bible Verses”. Instead there have been ‘false accusations’… without any ‘Scriptural’ proof… that what was stated… ‘was my opinion’. IF in fact it was only my opinion… why was it “NOT Refuted” by Bible Verses…? Perhaps it is because ‘Catholics’… always hold their “Church Teaching”… “Above” that of the Bible! What did Jesus say… and what does His Word… say about this…?

*** (Matthew 4:4) But He [Jesus] 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."

*** (Isaiah 1:18) Come now, = and let us = REASON TOGETHER, = says Jehovah; though your sins are as scarlet, = they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool.

*** (Ephesians 5:10) = “PROVING” = what is acceptable to the Lord.

*** (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.

*** (2Timothy 3:15-16-17) and that from a child = you have known = the Holy Scriptures, = which are able to make you = wise to salvation = through faith = in Christ Jesus.
(2Tim 3:16) All Scripture = is God-breathed, = and is profitable = for DOCTRINE, = for REPROOF, = for CORRECTION, = for INSTRUCTION in RIGHTEOUSNESS.
(2Tim 3:17) that the man of God = may be perfected, = thoroughly furnished = to every good work.

These Bible verses… make it quite ‘Plain & Clear’ that we are to take… “ONLY = The Word of God = Nothing More = Nothing Less! Those that think they know better than God and His Holy Word… are simply = “Anti – Christ!” Those that substitute = ANYTHING = for the Holy Word of God… make themselves higher than God! That is “NOT” possible… yet with their… “Religious Practices & Teaching”… they do that very thing! How can ‘Anyone’… say that ‘Anything’… can substitute or replace… the Holy Word of God…? No not even Church Teaching or Tradition.

*** (Proverbs 30:6) Do not add = to His Words, = lest He = reprove you = and you = be found = a “LIAR!”

*** (James 1:22) But become = doers of the Word, = and NOT = hearers only, = “DECEIVING” = your own selves.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transubstantiation

There is a Catholic Teaching… called “Transubstantiation”. In short it says that during the Mass… the bread and juice… is changed into the Body & Blood of Jesus Christ. The Bible teaches… “NO – SUCH THING”…! It is strictly a ‘Catholic Church’ teaching. Perhaps we can look at the “Scriptures, The Bible”… and see what it really Says…? IF this one area of teaching is WRONG… then it would indicate that “ALL”… of the other teaching of the Catholic Church… that ‘disagree’… with the Bible… are also “Wrong!”

*** (Matthew 22:29) Jesus answered and said to them, = You ERR, = not knowing = the Scriptures = nor the power of God.

*** (John 6:48-to-64) I [Jesus] am the Bread of life. Please open your Bible and reference this section of the Scripture. When Christ told them to… Eat His Flesh and Drink His Blood… it was simply a Word Picture of His… Once for All Time & Eternity… His sacrifice for SIN/SINS…!
(John 6:62) Then what if you should see the Son of Man going up where He was before?
(John 6:63) It is the 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.

To understand these Verses… you must “FIRST”… understand the Old Testament economy of the Sacrifices for “SIN/SINS”…! Daily there was on the Jewish alter; both ‘Moring & Evening’… a sacrifices for Sin. Feast days and Passover… there were also sacrifices called out in the Law of Moses. A continual smell of Burning Sacrifices… could be smelled… “All the Time!” In addition, those that committed ‘Sins & Trespasses’… had offerings required under the Law, that were continually being offered.

*** (1Corinthians 5:7) Therefore purge out the old leaven = so that you may be a new lump, as you are unleavened. = For also = “Christ our Passover” = is sacrificed = for us.

*** (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.

*** (Hebrews 10:10-11-12) By this will = we are sanctified = through the offering = of the body of Jesus Christ = ONCE = FOR = = ALL!
(Heb 10:11) And indeed every [OT] priest stands ‘daily’ ministering = and offering often = the same sacrifices, = which can = “NEVER” = take away sins.
(Heb 10:12) But this Man [Jesus], = after He [Jesus] = had offered = “ONE SACRIFICE” = for sins = “FORVER” = sat down on the right of God,

“Christ Jesus”… the Passover Lamb of God… offered Himself… “ONE TIME”… for “All SIN/SINS” = “FOREVER!” Those OT sacrifices were done away with… when Christ Offered Himself! No OT priest ever ‘sat down’… “Because”… his work was… “Never Finished!” Continual Sacrifices for Sins… went on and on and on. But this Man… this God Man… Christ Jesus… sacrificed Himself… “ONCE FOR ALL”… “Never” to be sacrificed… Again! “IT IS FINISHED”…? The One Time for ALL… Passover Sacrifice… Christ Jesus… to purchase redemption for mankind!

*** (Romans 5:1) Therefore being = justified by faith, = we have [eternal] = peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

*** (Galatians 2:16) knowing = that a man = is not justified = by works of the Law, = but through faith in Jesus Christ; = even we believed in Jesus Christ, = that we might be justified = by the faith in Christ, = and not by works of the Law. = For all flesh = will not be justified = by works of law.

*** (Ephesians 2:8-9-10) For by grace = you are saved = through FAITH, = and that ‘not’ of yourselves, = it is the gift of God,
(Eph 2:9) NOT of works, = lest ‘anyone’ should boast.
(Eph 2:10) For we are His workmanship, = created in Christ Jesus = TO good works, = which God has before ordained = that we should WALK in them.

*** (Hebrews 10:38-39-40) Now, "the Just shall live by faith. = But if he draws back, = My soul shall have no pleasure in him."
(Heb 10:39) But we are NOT of those = withdrawing to destruction, = but of those who believe = to the preserving of the soul.

*** (Hebrews 11:39) And these all, = having obtained a good report = through FAITH, = did ‘not’ = receive the promise,
(Heb 11:40) for God had provided some better thing for us, = that they should NOT be made perfect without us.

Furthermore, a reading… of the NT book of Hebrews; ‘all of it’… will explain “Christ’s One and Final Sacrifice”… under the ‘New Covenant’… by God… for all Mankind. The OT economy of the ‘Animal Sacrifices’… were ‘REPALCED’ with… “Christ Our Passover” = One Time = Once For All! The NT Christian… ‘looks back’… to Christ’s Sacrifice… the way the OT believer… ‘looked forward’… to the “One Sacrifice for All SIN!” Surely Christ Jesus…“IS NOT”… sacrificed again…. “Each time & Every time”… there is a Mass…! It is written… “The Just… shall… Live By Faith!”

IF one depends… on the Scriptures “ALONE”…as Jesus said… “But by Every Word of God”… they need ‘NOT’ be taken in by some ‘Religion’… that says… ‘Other’ than the Scriptures! Their ‘Problem’ comes from… “NOT” Understanding Biblical Forgiveness! There are ‘two kinds’ of Forgiveness… “Positional in Christ” = …and “Practical by Practice”. [See 1John 1:5-to-10] The Bible is ‘Replete’ with Word Pictures showing Salvation… by God’s Grace & Mercy… Alone!

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/03/forgiveness-101.html


*** (Galatians 3:2-3) This only I would learn from you: = Did you receive the Spirit [Romans 8:9] = by Works of the Law, = or by the “HEARING OF FAITH?” [Promise from Jesus = John 7:38-39]
(Gal 3:3) Are you so FOOLISH? = Having begun in the [Holy] Spirit, = do you now = perfect yourself in the flesh?

Good Works… can ‘NEVER’ save anyone! No one is perfect and GOD; requires perfection… to let one into heaven! That is why the “True Christian”… ‘Lives by FAITH’… and their good works… follow… that Faith In Christ! One does “NOT”… Earn their Salvation… it is by God’s ‘Grace & Mercy’… “ALONE”… in the Finished Work of Christ Jesus, the Messiah…! It is because of Salvation… that one does good works. Not the other way around; as many are taught in earning salvation. In each World Religion… salvation is ‘Worked For!’ Yes even in some of those ‘Pseudo’ [False] Christian Religions!

The ‘ONE’… who is in Christ Jesus… need not go to man for forgiveness, it is assured by the Finished Work of Redemption and Justification… by Christ’s Once for ALL… “One Time Sacrifice of Himself!” When that transaction; takes place, known by God… He then ‘Seals that Person’… with His Holy Spirit… for Eternity! The Holy Spirit “NEVER Leaves”… those that are Truly Born Again! This ‘Anointing & Sealing’ of the Holy Spirit is explained in this blog and in the Scriptures following!

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/07/anointing-101blog.html


*** (Ephesians 1:7-to-14) In Him [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 of our inheritance, = to the redemption of the purchased possession [us], = to the praise of His glory.

Perhaps after reading all this… will you still believe that Christ Jesus, the Passover Lamb of God… ‘is sacrificed’… each and every time there is a Mass…? That the wafer and the juice… is really changed into the ‘body & blood’ of Christ…? Did you miss… “The Just shall Live By FAITH”…? Faith in that “Finished Work of Redemption”… by Christ Jesus the Messiah…? Please tell me, you really don’t believe that…?

Do you mean… to speak outside of the Scriptures… and call “The Word”… ‘LIES’…? When Christ JESUS said… “IT IS FINISHED”… you say… ‘He really didn’t mean that’…? Each time during every Mass in every Catholic Church… throughout the entire world… “Christ is Sacrificed” and that is shown by…“Transubstantiation”… ‘Again’ and ‘Again’ and ‘Again’…? Please tell me you don’t believe that…?

*** (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.

*** (Hebrews 10:10-11-12) By this will = we are sanctified = through the offering = of the body of Jesus Christ = ONCE = FOR = = ALL!
(Heb 10:11) And indeed every priest stands daily ministering = and offering often = the same sacrifices, = which can = “NEVER” = take away sins.
(Heb 10:12) But this Man [Jesus], = after He [Jesus] = had offered = ONE SACRIFICE = for sins = FORVER = SAT down on the right of God,

“A Christian writes a Catholic – 303”…Blog [3/?]



*** (1Thessalonians 5:21) Prove all things; = hold fast = that which is good.


With these discussions… there are provisions for responses. Most of the responses have tried… ‘to invalidate’ what God has said in His Holy Word. “None” of the responses… either on the blog site, Face Book, Yahoo or any other site has…. “Disavowed” any statement using the ‘Word of God!’ Most have stated reasons ‘to protect’ their religion and their practice. Obviously the above Bible verse is in the “Command” voice in the original language… “Requiring Obedience!” One Question… do you Obey the Holy Word of God… or your ‘Religion’…?

*** (Matthew 15:3) But He [Jesus] answered and said unto them, = Why do you also transgress = the commandment of God = by your tradition?

*** (Mark 7:7-8-9) However, they worship Me[Jesus] in vain, = teaching for doctrines = the commandments of men."
(Mark 7:8) For laying aside = the commandment of God, = you hold the tradition of men, = the dippings of pots and cups. = And = many other such things = you do.
(Mark 7:9) And He said to them, = Do you do well to set aside = the commandment of God, = so that you = may keep = your own tradition?

*** (Colossians 2:8) Beware lest anyone rob you = through philosophy = and vain deceit, = according to the tradition of men, = according to the elements of the world, = and not = according to Christ.

*** (1Peter 1:18-19) knowing that you were = not redeemed = with corruptible things, silver or gold, from your = vain manner of life = handed down from your fathers,
(1Pet 1:19) but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot;

Those who are “Truly Born Again”… by the Holy Spirit of God are redeemed by the Precious Blood of Christ! They have left the “Vain Traditions & Trappings of Religion!” No more are ‘Statutes’ and ‘Tokes’ and ‘Sacraments’ as part of their Lives. “The Holy Word of God”… has replaced ‘all’ those trappings… and they have given themselves… wholly over to ‘Obedience’… to the Word of God. No longer are they ruled by fear of loss… because their position in Christ… is both secure and eternal.

*** (Hebrews 5:9) And being perfected, He [Jesus] became the Author of = eternal salvation = to all those = who obey Him,

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

Have you ever noticed… in the Catholic Church… “Jesus Christ”… is still on the Cross…? Did you ever wonder why…? Where is… Jesus Christ… now…? IF He is not on the Cross… why is He only portrayed there on the Cross…? The Catholic mass… simply re-sacrifices Christ, every time the mass is celebrated. Their alters even ‘supposedly’ contain… remnants of a saints. The Church is portrayed as God’s Home and somehow becomes Sacred to the Catholic. Genuflections are done to show reverence to the Church. Holy water is for blessing one’s self. These following Bible verses validate ‘the premise’… “Christ Jesus”… is ‘NO’ longer on the Cross!

*** (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.

*** (Luke 24:6-7) He is not here, = but has risen. = Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee,
(Luke 24:7) saying, = The Son of Man = must be delivered into the hands of sinful men = and be crucified, = and the third day = rise again?

*** (Hebrews 12:2) looking to Jesus = the Author and Finisher = of our faith, = Who for the joy that was set before Him = endured the cross, = despising the shame, = and sat down = at the right of the throne of God.

*** (Acts 7:55) But [Stephen] being full of the Holy Spirit, = looking up intently into Heaven, = he saw the glory of God, = and Jesus = standing at the right hand of God.

When you ‘die’… your spirit goes immediately to either “Heaven or Hell”… waiting for the ‘Eternal Judgment of God’. There is ‘nothing’ that can be done… after you die! No last rights, no Mass being said for you! No Purgatory to… be prayed out of. You are either “Born Again”… by the Holy Spirit of God… or you have your ‘Religion’… and will die in your Sin/Sins. Do you really believe that ‘prayers’… can pray you out of Purgatory… after you have “Rejected”… the Mercy & Grace of God… while you were Living…?

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

*** (John 3:19-20) 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.

*** (Hebrews 10:28-to-31) He who despised Moses' Law = died without mercy = on the word of two or three witnesses.
(Heb 10:29) Of how much worse punishment, = do you suppose, = will he be thought worthy of punishment, = the one = who has trampled the Son of God, = and who = has counted the blood of the covenant = with which he was sanctified = an unholy thing, = and has insulted = the Spirit of Grace?
(Heb 10:30) For we know Him [God] = Who has said, = "Vengeance belongs to Me, = I will repay, = says the Lord." = And again, = "The Lord shall judge His people."
(Heb 10:31) It is a fearful thing = to fall into the hands = of the living God.

How about “Forgiveness”…? IF you were to die… with un-confessed Sins… where would you go…? You as a Catholic have been trapped into that circle of bondage. Not knowing if you are forgiven for you Sin/Sins… and wondering IF you will make it to confession before dying. Those that are “Truly Born Again’ by the Holy Spirit of God… have that Assurance of Sin/Sins… Forgiven… “Past – Present – and Future!” No Catholic… can make that claim…! When Christ died on the Cross over 2,000 years ago… you were not even born. How then can “His Finished Work of Redemption”… assure you of… “Eternal Salvation”…? When or where has the Catholic Church… told you about this…? Absolutely… “Never!”

*** (Hebrews 10:10) By this will = we are sanctified = through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ = once for all.

*** (Hebrews 10:15-to-18) The Holy Spirit also is a witness to us; = for after He had said before,
(Heb 10:16) "This is the covenant = that I will make with them = after those days, = says the Lord; = I will put My Laws into their hearts, = and in their minds = I will write them,"
(Heb 10:17) also He adds, = "their sins and their iniquities = I will remember = no more."
(Heb 10:18) Now where remission of these is, = there is no more = offering for sin.

*** (Romans 8:9-10-11) 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 [she] = is none = of His.
(Rom 8:10) And if Christ is in you, = indeed the body is dead because of sin, = but the Spirit is life = because of righteousness.
(Rom 8:11) But if = the Spirit 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.

Once Again… when or where do you have ‘complete assurance’ of Eternal Salvation… in the Catholic Church…? Does your religion assure you of this… OR…are you always… “Not Knowing?” The plain Truth… is that; the Word of God, the Bible… will give you what you need to know! It is there for you to read and find out… for yourself! You need not… have someone… tell you what you need to believe or… not to believe! Why not listen to JESUS… and what He said…?

*** (John 12:44-to-50) But Jesus cried out and said, = He who believes on Me = does not = believe on Me = but on Him [God] = Who sent Me.
(John 12:45) And he who sees Me = sees Him [God] = Who sent Me.
(John 12:46) I have come as a Light into the world, = so that whoever believes on Me = should not remain in darkness.
(John 12:47) And if any one = hears My Words = and does not believe, = I do not [now] judge him, = for I do not [this time] = come to judge the world, = but to save the world.
(John 12:48) He who rejects Me = and does not receive = My Words = has one = who judges him; = the Word = that I have spoken, = the same [Word] = shall judge him = in the last day.
(John 12:49) For I [Jesus] have not spoken = of Myself, = but the Father [God] = Who sent Me = gave Me a command, = what = I should say, = and what = I should speak.

“YOU”… have ‘only’ one Choice…! Believe God and His Holy Word… or believe what You… are told by some ‘Church’…? The question is… Who do you Believe…? After reading such Bible verses as those above… it is quite clear… that Jesus will use… “His Word”… to judge us! “NO”… the Bible does “NOT” say… ‘What’… the “Catholic Church” told you! Right away some will say… that is your interpretation of what the Bible says. “PLEASE”… tell me, what do those Bible verses… say to you? Please interpret them… and then tell me what they say? Can you tie those verses in… with other Bible verses… that say the Same Thing?

*** (Isaiah 28:13) But the Word of Jehovah [Lord] 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.

*** (2Timothy 3:15-16-17) and that from a child = you have known = the Holy Scriptures, = which are able to make you wise = to salvation = through faith in Christ Jesus.
(2Tim 3:16) All Scripture = is God-breathed, = and is profitable = for doctrine, = for reproof, = for correction, = for instruction in righteousness,
(2Tim 3:17) that the man [or woman] of God = may be perfected, = thoroughly furnished = to every good work.

*** (Luke 6:46) And why do you call Me [Jesus] = Lord [Savior], = Lord [Boss], = and = do not do = what I [Jesus] = say?
