“Iron ‘SHARPENS’ Iron – 101” …Blog.
*** (Proverbs 27:17) Iron
sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the face of his friend.
*** (1Thessaloninans
5:21) Prove ALL things: hold fast to the 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 [or
NOT].
*** (Galatians 4:16) So then did I become your Enemy;
speaking to you the “Truth?” [John 17:17]
Why does the Bible contain such a verse…? For those of
You, who have ‘Cutlery’ kitchen knives; they need to be periodically sharpened.
Do You have a ‘Knife Stone’ with two sides [course & fine] and a ‘Honing’ steal’
rod. The effectiveness of such Cutlery is dependent on the “Sharpness” of the
Blade! And Yes, I even have an “Electric Knife”, for sometimes sluicing “Turkey
and Home Made Bread!” But in reality, I do like a “Good Sharp” manual blade.
When knife sharpening’s are performed: there is “FRICTION!” The ‘harder’
surface, simply takes from the ‘softer’ surface. But both have a function in
their ‘design & application’. This symbiotic relationship may likened to
the “Body of Christ Jesus, His Church!” That is why Christ Jesus ordained BOTH:
“Leadership & Servants!” [John
12:13-to-17]
*** (Romans
12:4) For as we have Many members in
ONE body, and ALL members have NOT the same Office. [Position]
*** (Isaiah 6:8) And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send,
and who will go for us? Then I said:
–> Here am I: –> send me!
*** (James 3:1) Not many of you should become Teachers, my
brothers; because you know that we who
‘Teach’ will be, JUDGED More Severely!

Service – 101” …Blog.

Did You ever wonder WHY… I write
these Blogs? There are many remarks directly to me, about my “Supposed Heresy”.
It was my ‘Goal’ to: “Challenge Conventional Church & Denominational
TEACHINGS”… which were “NOT” in the Scriptures. That is why it is called, “Handling
the TRUTH!” For those WHO are Truly Born Again, by the Holy Spirit of God: we
have a Mandate from “Christ JESUS, King of Kings, Lord of Lords!” My favorite is… “Luke 24:44-to-48”…! That “Great Commission”
ties itself to the “HOLY WORD of GOD”…! Without knowing WHAT the Scriptures
TEACH… how is ONE to give a “Valid Message”…? One “DEVOID of Church or
Denominational”: False Teachings…? Today MANY may share with their Church
teaches: and Yet: “DO NOT know the Scriptures”…? What is WRONG… with that “Picture?”
*** (John 5:39-40) You
examine the Scriptures carefully
because you suppose = that in them you have eternal life. Yet they testify about Me
[Jesus].
(John 5:40) But you are ‘NOT’ willing to come to Me
[Jesus] to have life.
*** (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.
***
(2Corinthians 11:4) For if someone comes along and preaches ANOTHER Jesus than the one we preached,
or should you receive a DIFFERENT spirit
from the one you received or a DIFFERENT
gospel from the one you accepted;
you are All Too willing to Listen.
*** (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 “Damnation”. [1Corinthains 16:22]
What happens when “ONE” is ‘Raised as a
Christian’… “Without” being: “Born Again: by the Holy Spirit of God”…?
The
Christian 'Parrot' - 101 ...Blog.
“MANY”: Do NOT Want A: “Complete Scriptural
Answer”…! They do NOT want any ‘Conflicts or Teachings’ that will CHALLENGE: “What
they ‘Now’ Believe!” Because I was raised in a Catholic home & attended
Catholic school: there was ‘MUCH’ that I had to… “UNLEARN!” Having left the CC
and that way of “Wrong Thinking”: I needed God’s Truth: found ONLY in His Holy
Word! “Nothing More: Nothing Less”…! Didn’t Christ Jesus, the Messiah say… “Not
by Bread Alone: but by Every Word of GOD…? [Matthew
4:4 & Luke 4:8 & Deuteronomy 8:1-2-3] And did HE not also say that:
His Holy Word, would HE use to: “Judge All Mankind”…? [John 12:48] “WHY” then would ‘ANYONE’ want something Else: that
was Not: “GOD’S ‘ONLY’ TRUTH”…? Please tell me… “WHY”…?
*** (Psalms 119:11) I have hidden Your Word in my heart; so that I might not sin against You [Lord].
*** (Luke
4:4) Jesus answered him [Satan], "It
is written, 'One must Not live on bread alone; but on every word of God." [Matt 4:4 & Deut. 8:1-2-3]
*** (John 12:48) 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”.

(1Corinthains 12:12-13-14) For as the
body is One and has Many members,
and ALL the members of that One
body, being Many: are One body; so also is Christ.
(1Cor 12:13) For also by one [Holy] Spirit we are
all baptized [Ephesians
4:5] into
one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free, even all were made to
drink into one Spirit. [John 7:38-39
& Acts 15:8-9]
(1Cor 12:14) For
the body is Not one member, but Many. [Romans
8:9 & Matthew 7:21-22-23]
*** (1Peter
3:15) but sanctify the Lord God in
your hearts, and be ready ‘Always’
to give an answer to everyone who asks you a ‘Reason’ of the hope in you, with meekness and fear;
*** (Isaiah
8:13) Sanctify the LORD of hosts Himself;
and let him be your Fear, and let HIM be your Dread. [Luke 12:5]
*** (2John 1:9-10-11) Everyone transgressing and Not abiding in the
doctrine of Christ; does “NOT” have God. He who abides in the doctrine of
Christ, he has Both the Father and the Son.
(2Jn 1:10) If ANYONE comes to you and does “NOT”
bring this doctrine; Do “NOT” receive him into your house; “NOR”
speak a greeting to him.
(2Jn 1:11) For he who Speaks a greeting to him; Is
Partaker of his “EVIL” deeds.

Some have responded to: “Question my Blogs”…? And Yet: my response
has simply been this: “Did YOU “COMPLETELY”: “Read &
Understand” ALL -> my RESPONSES in the Blog… AND: the Many “SCRIPTURES”? Which
ONES did You disagree with: and “WHERE” is your “SCRIPTURAL Response”…? “Yes or No”...? Please
Answer…? When one will NOT give an “Honest Response”, what is anyone to
expect…? Just perhaps they did NOT want to really know the Truth? Or just
perhaps they were responding out of… “Ignorance & Ego”…? Please believe me,
these blogs are done in the “Fear of GOD!” I know that I as well as YOU: will
give an account for “Every Idle Word!” [Matthew 12:36-37 &
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14]

*** (Proverbs 18:13)
If one answers a matter before he hears
it; is ‘Foolishness’ and ‘Shame’ to him [her].
*** (Jude 1:3-4) Having made all haste to write to you
about the common salvation; beloved, I had need to write to you; to exhort you to ‘Contend Earnestly’ for the [True] Faith; once delivered
to the saints.
(Jude 1:4)
For some people have slipped in; among you unnoticed. They were written about
long ago as being deserving of this condemnation; because they are ungodly. They turn the grace of our God into
uncontrollable lust and deny our only
Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
“Earnestly
‘Contending’ for the: ‘True Faith’ – 101”…Blog [1/5]
What about You…? Do You tell Others that You are: “GOD’S
Child” and that “Christ Jesus, the Messiah”… is your “Savior & Lord”…? How
long have You been “Truly Born Again”, by His Holy Spirit…? “___”-Years…? Do You meet with Him: “DAILY:
in His Holy Word”…? Do You: as a “Soldier of Christ Jesus”… Proclaim His Holy
Word: whenever You are presented with an “Opportunity”…? Or perhaps You are
just pretending…? Perhaps You have known about Him but as YET: have NOT yielded
your “Mind, Will & Emotions” to HIM…? Does the Peace of God; transcend ‘Each
& Every’ fiber of your “Life & Being”…? IF NOT: then perhaps You should
give up trusting ‘yourself & your’ abilities? Perhaps you have grown COLD in
the “Things of the LORD”… as did the “Laodicean Church?” Did You realize that
the Seven Churches of Revelation: could simply be also a: “Word Picture” of the
believer: during their ‘Spiritual Life’: anytime here on Earth? Which of those “Seven
Church TYPES” do You most emulate…?
*** (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.
*** (Luke 16:13) No servant can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one and
love the other, or else he will hold
to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon [Self].

(2Corinthains 13:5) examine
yourselves; whether you are in the faith; prove your own selves. Do you not
know your own selves; that Jesus Christ is in you [Romans 8:9]; unless you are reprobates?
Love;
in Christ, Roger // “Psalms 138:2”…!
