“The Christian Thinker – 303” …Blog [3/?]
What causes one… to become a ‘Christian Thinker?’ Perhaps when one moves out of the ‘status quo’… and decides that ‘more’ needs to be said, to others about Christ Jesus. Or it can even be simply to… “Defend the Faith”… one delivered to the Saints. It may even be when one, desiring a ‘closer walk’ with Christ, though the understanding of His Word; that the Holy Spirit does. Perhaps it is when we… ‘Finally Yield’… ourselves to Christ… and to the “Complete Authority of His Holy Word”.
*** (Luke 18:7-8) And = shall not God avenge = His own elect = who cry day and night to Him, = though He has been long-suffering over them?
(Luke 18:8) I [Jesus] say to you = that He will avenge them speedily. = Yet when the Son of Man comes, = shall He find = [True Biblical] Faith = on the earth?
*** (Matthew 24:37) But as the days of Noah were, = so shall be = the coming of the Son of Man.
*** (Genesis 6:5) And Jehovah saw = that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, = and every imagination = of the thoughts of his heart = was only evil = continually.
Have you ever… ‘Tied’ these verses together? Along with other verses in both the “NT & OT”, one can deduce that… things will get ‘worse’; and “Not Better”. That ‘false hope’ that the world promises; are like those promises of “Change”… during the last election. Things are ‘not’ going to get better; they will get worse. And ‘NO’, I am not trying to discourage anyone; with this realistic outcome. ‘Spiritual’ things are getting worse and will not get better… before the “Return of Christ Jesus!”
*** (2Timothy 3:12-13) Yea, and all = who desire to live godly = in Christ Jesus = will be persecuted.
(2Tim 3:13) But evil men and seducers = will go forward = to worse, = deceiving = and being deceived.
*** (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.
*** (2Corinthians 12:8-9-10) For this thing = I besought the Lord = three times, = that it might depart from me.
(2Cor 12:9) And He said to me, = My grace is sufficient for you, = for My power is made perfect in weakness. = Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, = that the power of Christ may overshadow me.
(2Cor 12:10) Therefore I am pleased = in weaknesses, = in insults, = in necessities, = in persecutions, = in distresses = for Christ's sake; = for when I am weak, = then I am powerful.
*** (Hebrews 4:15-16) For we do not have a high priest = Who cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities, = but was in all points = tempted just as we are, = yet without sin.
(Heb 4:16) Therefore let us come boldly = to the throne of grace, = that we may obtain mercy = and find grace = to help = in time of need.
About now… someone is thinking, “I thought things would get better?” Sorry to say, America will never regain her prominence, as it once had. Being a “Born Again Christian”… really means we are looking for a better place, ‘an eternal one’. Remember this ‘corrupt earth’… is not our home. Keep our focus on the ‘Real Issues’… “What” should we do for the “Kingdom of God!” Perhaps just as Jesus said, to His parents… (Luke 2:49) And He [Jesus] said to them, = Why did you look for Me? = Do you not know that = I must be about = My Father's business? Are you looking for comfort in this world… or are you about… “Your Father’s Business”…?
*** (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 [Word], = and there shall be one flock, = one Shepherd.
*** (Acts 5:42) And every day in the temple, = and from house to house, = they did not cease = teaching and preaching = the gospel: Jesus Christ.
*** (Jude 1:3-4) Having made all haste = to write to you about = the common salvation, beloved, = I had need to write to you = to exhort you = to contend earnestly = for the faith = once delivered to the saints.
(Jude 1:4) For certain men = crept in secretly, = those having been of old previously written into this condemnation, = ungodly ones = perverting the grace of our God for unbridled lust, = and denying the only Master, God, = even our Lord Jesus Christ.
*** (2Timothy 3:7) ever learning = and never able = to come to = the full knowledge = of the Truth.
Today on Face Book… someone posted “God Bless America”. My reply was met with a mixed response. May I simply ask… “Why should God – Bless – America?” Perhaps my I simply suggest, He has already showed us His Mercy… and it has been rejected by Most! Surely America has become… “Only Cultural” Christian… and “NOT”… A Biblical Based Society! Most do not even read & study… the Holy Word of God, even in Most Churches. They have replaced the “Study of the Word”… with “Entertainment!”

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/08/double-standard-101blog.html
*** (Genesis 4:9-10) And Jehovah said unto Cain, = Where is your brother Abel? = And he said, = I do not know. = Am I my brother's keeper?
(Gen 4:10) And He [God] said, = What have you done? = The voice = of your brother's blood = cries to Me [God] = from the ground.
*** (Isaiah 58:1) Cry aloud, = do not spare, = lift up your voice like a ram's horn, = and show My people their rebellion, = and the house of Jacob their sins.
*** (Proverbs 14:34) Righteousness lifts up a nation; = But sin is a reproach to any people.
*** (Jeremiah 31:15) So says Jehovah: A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and bitter weeping; Rachel weeping for her children; she refuses to be comforted for her sons, because they are not.
*** (Matthew 2:17-18) Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
(Matt 2:18) "A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not."
There are posts… on every ‘Internet Site’… by Christians; praying for Revival here in America. Just perhaps… IF… those that say they Belong to Jesus; would Speak OUT… for those Over 55,000,000 – Million = Innocent Babies = Murdered by their Mothers = by Abortion… THEN… could God be gracious… and bring Revival to America…? Only when a Nation is ready to turn from the National SIN… is God ready to Heal… and Hear from Heaven… and Heal their Land…?
*** (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.
*** (Amos 4:8-to-11) So two or three cities wandered to one city to drink water, but they were not satisfied; yet you have not returned to Me, says Jehovah.
(Amos 4:9) I have stricken you with blasting and mildew. When your gardens and your vineyards, and your fig trees. And your olive trees increased, the creeping locust devoured them; yet you have not returned to Me, says Jehovah.
(Amos 4:10) 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.
http://www.usdebtclock.org/
You WHO = call out the… “Blessed Name of Christ Jesus”… and say that ‘He’ is your “Lord & Savior”… and “YOU”… cannot [will not] speak out… about the Murder… of “ALL”… Those Innocent Children… KILLED… By “ABORTION”…? And then; “YOU”… Pray for Revival…? And you think that God; the God of the Bible… will hear your prayers… “Over their Blood”… Crying OUT for Judgment… “Against Our Nation”…? Sorry, you then have the Wrong Idea… of Who God ‘Really’… “IS!”
*** (Psalms 66:18) If = I regard iniquity = in my heart, = Jehovah = will not hear;
*** (Isaiah 59:1-to-4) Behold, Jehovah's hand = is not shortened = so that it cannot save, = nor is His ear heavy = so that it cannot hear.
(Isa 59:2) But your iniquities = have come between = you and your God, = and your sins = have hidden His face from you, = from hearing.
(Isa 59:3) For your hands = are defiled with blood, = and your fingers with iniquity; = your lips have spoken lies, = your tongue = has muttered perverseness.
(Isa 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.
Just Perhaps… “IT IS TIME”… for ‘each & every’ one of us… “To Get our Hearts Right”… and then Pray… for His Mercy…? When we “FAIL / CHOOSE”… NOT to Speak Out for those that cannot defend themselves… we are = “Part of the Problem”… = and ‘not’ the solution!

“The Christian Thinker – 202” [2/?] Blog.
“The Christian Thinker – 202” [2/?] Blog.
May I ask… What makes one a “Christian Thinker?” Do all Christians… ‘Think?’ Are there some; that do not ‘Think?’ Does sheer intellect have anything to do with being a “Christian Thinker?” Or just perhaps, it is the “Holy Spirit”… indwelling that one that is Truly Born Again” Did you notice the word… “Truly?” Does that mean that there are “SOME”… who think they are ‘Born Again’, and who are really not? Do you ever… ‘think’ such things… ‘Through?’
*** (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.
*** (1Corinthians 2:14-15) But the natural man = does not receive = the things of the Spirit of God, = for they are foolishness to him; = neither = can he know them, = because they are spiritually discerned.
(1Cor 2:15) But he who is spiritual = judges all things, = yet he himself = is judged by no one.
*** (Luke 24:45) And He [Jesus] = opened their mind = to understand = the Scriptures.
Do you remember… the first time you went to school? Of course my favorite times were, ‘Lunch & Recess!’ As we ‘mature’; we are exposed to new thoughts and ideas. Some we like and some we reject. When one comes to Christ; on “His Terms” = John 7:38-39 = the possibilities are endless. Yet He, Christ… has a plan for you, to be conformed to His image and His likeness. Does that mean that you will continually ask yourself…“WWJD?” Of course NOT!
*** (John 15:1-to-6) I [Jesus] = am the True Vine, = and My Father [God] = is the Vinedresser.
(John 15:2) Every branch in Me = that does not bear fruit, = He takes away. = And every one that bears fruit, = He prunes it = so that it may bring forth = more fruit.
(John 15:3) Now you are clean = through the Word = which I have spoken = to you.
(John 15:4) Abide in Me, = and I in you. = As the branch cannot bear fruit = of itself = unless = it remains in the vine, = so neither can you = unless = you abide in Me.
(John 15:5) I am the Vine, = you are the branches. = He who abides in Me, = and I in him, = the same brings forth much fruit; = for without = Me = you = can do nothing.
(John 15:6) If anyone = does not abide in Me, = he is cast out = as a branch and is withered. = And they gather and cast them = into the fire, = and they are burned.
“WWJD”… was one of those ‘Ditties’… that was a ‘misguided attempt’ to replace the True Believer’s responsibility… “TO Obey”… the Holy Word of God! Say it isn’t so…? WWJD… does that infer the “Presence of Jesus” or the “Absence of Jesus”… in the lives of the Believers…? Please open your Bible and read… “Romans 8:9” & “Rom 8:14”. Those verses tell anyone; that the True Believer; has Christ living in Him or Her! And that He will lead you… to do… what you should do! Why then would anyone then… have to ask the silly question… “WWJD?” The True Believer… would simply do… what the Word of God… says to do.
*** (2Corinthians 4:5-6-7) For we = do not = preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, = and ourselves = your servants = for Jesus' sake.
(2Cor 4:6) For it is God = Who said, = "Out of darkness Light shall shine;" = Who shone in our hearts = to give the brightness = of the knowledge = of the glory of God = in the face of Jesus Christ.
(2Cor 4:7) But = we have this treasure [The Holy Spirit = Romans 8:9] = in earthen vessels, = so that = the excellence of the power = may be of God = and not = of us;
*** (James 1:22) Keep on being Doers of the Word, = and Not merely hearers = who Deceive themselves.
*** (Luke 6:46) "Why do you keep calling Me [Jesus] = 'Lord, = Lord,' = but don't do = what I [Jesus] = tell you?
http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/07/bible-plus-nothing-101blog.html
IF we abide in “Christ”… and are ‘obedient’ to His Holy Word… what then takes place in our lives? There is a transformation of character… that His light… shines through us. We become His witnesses here on earth. We speak for Him, when ‘others’ won’t! We hold forth… “His Holy Word”… when others do not want it. We are His witnesses of a redeemed life… and what He has done in us… transforming us into His likeness. “His Character”… becomes an integral part of our lives; as our witness for Him… to a lost an dying world of people.
*** (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,
(2Pet 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. [Agape = God’s love flowing through you]
(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.
*** (Colossians 1:27) to whom God = wanted to make known = the glorious riches = of this secret = among the gentiles-which is = Christ in you, = the hope of glory. [Romans 8:9]
*** (Luke 17:21) Neither shall they say, = Lo here! or, lo there! = For, behold, = the kingdom of God = is within = you.
Our Life in Christ Jesus… is ‘not Static’… but “Dynamic!” It is simply… Him… living out His Life… through “His Body”… the “Bride of Christ”… “His Church!” When one realizes; his or her… position in Christ Jesus… and this ‘responsibility’ given to His… this dynamic… will be evident. But, this ‘cannot’ take place… without knowing “The Holy Word of God!” You say you… Love Jesus? Then… Love HIM… by knowing His Holy Word… and by living it out; in your life!
*** (Matthew 5:16) In the same way, = let your light shine before people = in such a way = that they will see your good works = and = glorify your Father in heaven."
*** (Matthew 23:11-12) The person = who is greatest among you = must = be your servant.
(Matt 23:12) Whoever exalts himself = will be humbled, = and whoever humbles himself = will be exalted.
*** (John 3:30) He [Jesus] = must become more important, = but I = must become less important."
*** (Romans 12:1-to-4) I therefore urge you, brothers, = in view of God's mercies, = to offer your bodies = as living sacrifices = that are holy and pleasing to God, = for this is the reasonable way = for you to worship.
(Rom 12:2) Do not be conformed to this world, = but continually be transformed = by the renewing of your minds = so that you may be able to determine = what God's will is = what is proper, = pleasing, = and perfect.
(Rom 12:3) For by the grace given to me = I ask every one of you = not to think of yourself = more highly than you should think, = rather to think of yourself = with sober judgment = on the measure of faith = that God has assigned each of you.
(Rom 12:4) For we have many parts in one body, = but these parts = do not all have = the same function.
This of course… will be based on your ‘Knowledge’ of the Holy Word of God… and your level of Obedience; to Him… as you are ‘led by and walk in’… the Spirit of God. This is an ongoing maturation process… to those that will; yield ‘themselves’ to Him; and to His Holy Word. A mushroom grows up overnight, but an oak tree takes years to develop. There is no such thing as… “Instant Spirituality. Perhaps if one would examine the Scriptures… they will find this to be True!
*** (1Peter 4:1-to-5) Therefore, = since Christ = suffered in the sphere of the flesh, = you, too, = must arm yourselves = with the same determination. = For the person = who has suffered in the sphere of the flesh = has stopped sinning,
(1Pet 4:2) so that he [she] = can live the rest of his [her] time in the flesh guided, = not by human desires, = but by the will [Word] of God.
(1Pet 4:3) For you spent enough time in the past = doing what the gentiles like to do, = living in sensuality, = sinful desires, = drunkenness, = wild celebrations, = drinking parties, = and detestable idolatry.
(1Pet 4:4) They insult you now = because they are surprised = that you are no longer joining them = in the same excesses of wild living.
(1Pet 4:5) They will give an account = to the One [God] = Who is ready to judge = the living and the dead.
*** (John 15:17-to-23) I [Jesus] am giving you these commandments = so that you may love one another."
(John 15:18) "If the world hates you, = you should realize = that it hated Me = before you.
(John 15:19) If you belonged to the world, = the world would love you as its own. = But because you = do not belong to the world = and I have chosen you = out of it, = the world hates you.
(John 15:20) Remember the word that I spoke to you: = 'A servant is not greater than his master.' = If they persecuted me, = they will also persecute you. = If they kept My Word, = they will also keep yours.
(John 15:21) They will do all these things to you = on account of My Name, = because they do not know = the One [God] = Who sent Me [Jesus].
(John 15:22) If I [Jesus] had not come and spoken to them, = they would not have any sin. = But now they have = no excuse = for their sin.
(John 15:23) The person who hates Me [Jesus] = also hates My Father [God].

(John 15:20) Remember the word that I spoke to you: = 'A servant is not greater than his master.' = If they persecuted me, = they will also persecute you. = If they kept My Word, = they will also keep yours.
(John 15:21) They will do all these things to you = on account of My Name, = because they do not know = the One [God] = Who sent Me [Jesus].
(John 15:22) If I [Jesus] had not come and spoken to them, = they would not have any sin. = But now they have = no excuse = for their sin.
(John 15:23) The person who hates Me [Jesus] = also hates My Father [God].

“Christian Thinker – 101”…Blog. [1/?]
“Christian Thinker – 101”…Blog. [1/?]
Are ‘YOU’, a “Christian Thinker”…? First allow me to clarify ‘exactly’ what I mean. When I use the Tern, ‘Christian’… I ‘do not’ mean what you call yourself. The many different Christian denominations, all call themselves Christian; and yet disagree with what the Bible defines as a “True Christian”. “Only” one, that is “Born Again”; by the Holy Spirit of God… is a “True Christian”. Remember the Bible, the Holy Word of God… ‘Defines’ all of these… Truths’. A denomination is manmade and is not of God. It ‘cannot’ define this Truth.
*** (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 [Holy] Spirit, = which they who believed on Him = should receive; = for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, = because Jesus was not yet glorified.
*** (John 3:5-6-7) Jesus answered, = Verily, verily, = I say unto you, = Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, = he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
(John 3:6) That which is born of the flesh is flesh; = and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
(John 3:7) Marvel not that I said unto you, = You must be born again.
*** (Ephesians 1:12-13-14) so that we who had = already fixed our hope on Christ = might live for His = praise and glory.
(Eph 1:13) You, too, = have heard the Word of Truth, the gospel of your salvation. = When you believed in Him = you were sealed = with the promised Holy Spirit,
(Eph 1:14) Who is = the guarantee of our inheritance = until the redemption of God's own possession, = to His praise and glory.

Now, do you… get the ‘Idea’ of what is a… “Christian Thinker?” He or she; knows in Whom they have Trusted for their ‘Eternal’ condition. They know the Scriptures; what it ‘says’ and what it ‘doesn’t say’. As a soldier is trained in warfare… so to, those who are truly “Born Again”, realize their calling as… ‘Solders for Christ’. They take His command… to share the Gospel… to Preach the Word and are not ashamed of the persecution that will follow.
*** (Luke 24:44-to-48) And He [Jesus] said to them, = These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, = that all things must be fulfilled = which were written = in the Law of Moses = and in the Prophets = and in the Psalms = about Me.
(Luke 24:45) And = He opened their mind = to understand the Scriptures.
(Luke 24:46) And He said to them, = So it is written, = and so it behooved Christ = to suffer = and to rise from the dead = the third day,
(Luke 24:47) and that repentance = and remission of sins = should be proclaimed = in His name = among all nations, = beginning at Jerusalem.
(Luke 24:48) And = you are = witnesses of these things.
*** (2Timothy 2:3-4-5) Therefore endure hardness, = as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
(2Tim 2:4) No one who wars = entangles with the affairs of this life, = that he may please Him [Christ] = Who chose him = to be a soldier.
(2Tim 2:5) And also if anyone competes, = he is not crowned = unless = he competes lawfully.
*** (2Timothy 4:1-to-5) Therefore I [Paul] solemnly witness before God = and the Lord Jesus Christ, = Who is going to judge the living and the dead = according to His appearance = and His kingdom,
(2Tim 4:2) 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.
(2Tim 4:5) But you watch in all things, = endure afflictions, = do the work of an evangelist, = fully carry out your ministry.
*** (Jeremiah 1:8) Do not be afraid = of ‘their’ faces; = for I am with you = to deliver you, = says Jehovah.
The “Christian Thinker”… is continually = ‘learning & studying’ = the Holy Word of God. This is ‘first’ to build their own Faith, and then to be able to “Accurately”… share both the Good News & the Bad News! They understand and can communicate the Truths found in God’s Holy Word, to those that are ignorant. “Ignorance” = means, simply ‘uninformed!’ We are all physically born ignorant and in less than two years, communicate in a previously unknown, language. This is all part of that maturation process… that moves us from childhood to adulthood.
http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/02/unbalanced-101blog.html
*** (Romans 10:17) So then = faith comes by hearing, = and = hearing = by the Word of God.
*** (2Corinthians 4:16) That's why we are not discouraged. = No, even if our outer man is = wearing out, = our inner man is being renewed = day by day.
*** (2Peter 3:18) But grow in = grace and knowledge = of our Lord and Savior, = Jesus Christ. = To Him be the glory, = both now and to the day of eternity. = Amen!
*** (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.
*** (1Corinthians 14:38) But if any is [willingly] ignorant, = let him be ignorant.
This ‘Contiguous’ United States… has all the states ‘touching’ one another. So as a Tapestry is interwoven throughout, the Bible, “God’s Truth” is interwoven with His Truth. He uses His Holy Spirit, indwelling each True Believer, so that they can ‘know & understand’ His Truth. That Truth, changes their lives and in doing so, the Believer becomes more Christ like. It is His “Life & Word”… living in Us… which makes us more like Him.
*** (Deuteronomy 29:29) The secret things = belong to Jehovah our God, = but the revealed things = belong to us and to our sons forever, = so that we may do all the words of this Law.
*** (John 16:13-14-15) However, when He [The Holy Spirit], = the Spirit of Truth, = has come, = He will guide you into all Truth. = For He shall not speak of Himself, = but whatever He hears, = He shall speak. = And He will announce to you things to come.
(John 16:14) He will glorify Me [Jesus], = for He will receive of Mine = and will disclose it to you.
(John 16:15) All things that the Father [God] has are Mine [Jesus]. = Therefore I said that = He will take of Mine = and will disclose it to you.
*** (2Corinthians 4:7) But we have this treasure [The Holy Spirit] = in earthen vessels, = so that the excellence of the power = may be of God = and ‘not’ of us;
*** (Philippians 2:5) For = let this mind = be in you = which was also in Christ Jesus,
*** (John 3:30) He = must increase, = but = I = must decrease.
About now… one may readily see where this blog is going. As the ‘True Christian’ grows in Grace… They are constantly… ‘Evaluating and Judging’… “All Things”. About now, someone is thinking, “Only God is to Judge!” Yes, in the final judgment, God will judge All! But, in the ‘here & now’… we judge things according to God’s Holy Word, to be ‘right or wrong!’ Just as the Scriptures speak of ‘right & wrong’… so do we! Didn’t John the Baptist tell Herod [an unbeliever], that he was living in Adultery?
*** (1Corinthians 2:15) But he who is spiritual = judges all things, = yet he himself is judged by no one.
*** (1Corinthians 6:5-6) For I speak to your shame. = Is it so = that there is not a wise one among you, = not even one in your midst = who shall be able to judge = between his brother?
(1Cor 6:6) But brother goes to law with brother, = and that before the unbelievers.
*** (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!
http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/08/isnt-it-about-time-101.html
IF you will allow me… these blogs will continue. As you read them please, take the Scriptures and validate what is said here. Dare I say anything… or you share anything… that is not validated by the Scriptures. Simply take the “Word”… and use it as your… “Thinking TOOL”… to test; what is said and what you ‘really’ believe. Throughout my Christian growth, I have had to… ‘Unlearn’… some of what I believed; because the Scriptures showed me = where my ‘thinking’ was wrong. A simple ‘confession and forsaking’… and we then go on with Christ. [Proverbs 28:13 & 1John 1:5-to-10]
*** (1Thessalonians 5:21) Prove all things, = hold fast to the good.
*** (James 3:1) Not many of you = should become teachers, my brothers, = because you know that = we who teach = will be judged more severely.
*** (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.
*** (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.
The “Christian Thinker”… is continually ‘Growing in God’s Grace’, and in ‘Obedience’ to His Holy Word. Their walk with “Him”; goes onward to ‘Spiritual Maturity’… and in leading others to Him, as their “Savior & Lord”. They readily share the ‘Holy Word of God’ and are ‘not ashamed’ of Him and His Word. Truly without this ‘growth’ in Him… it is just ‘foolish’ play acting. The responsibility of sharing Eternal… ‘Heaven or Hell’… is in our realm of responsibility.

*** (John 17:17) Sanctify them through Your Truth. Your Word is Truth.
*** (James 1:22) Keep on being = Doers of the Word, = and NOT merely hearers = who = Deceive themselves.
*** (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.

“FB = ‘message from God’ [application] – 101”… Blog.
“FB = ‘message from God’ [application] – 101”… Blog.
“God wants you to know”…! This application has more… “Heresy”… than I can stand. Each time I see it on FB, it makes my blood… ‘Boil!’ Most post it; without ever checking out what it is really saying! The first thing that jumped out to me… is that they “NEVER” use the Bible. God, the God of the Bible, uses His Holy Word… to speak to ‘His Real Children’. Only “His Word”… is His Truth… and “NOT”… those ‘ditty’s’ posted there!
*** (John 17:17) Sanctify them through Your Truth. = Your Word = is Truth.
*** (Matthew 24:35) The heaven and the earth shall pass away, = but = My Words = shall not pass away.
*** (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.
About now ‘One’ will see… that those that ‘make substitutions’… for the Holy Word of God, are “NOT of God!” Religious people will always have some ‘cloak of religion’… but will ‘never’ take the Word of God; as their “ONLY”… Point of Reference! It was so in the times of Christ Jesus as it was in the times of Moses [Exodus 20:19-20]. A systematic… ‘read & study… of the Old Testament, bears this out. What is even more dangerous today; is that ‘in’ most Churches… the pastors have been systematically moving their people… away from the “Holy Word of God”.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R23HXIz5jrk
*** (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.
*** (Amos 8:11) Behold, the days come, = says the Lord GOD, = 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 the LORD:
*** (Mark 7:6-7) But He [Jesus] answered and said to them, = Well has Isaiah prophesied of you hypocrites, = as it is written, = "This people honors Me with their lips, = but their heart is far from Me.
(Mark 7:7) However, = they worship Me = in vain, = teaching for doctrines = the commandments [sayings] of men."
http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/07/bible-plus-nothing-101blog.html
Have you been shopping ‘Lately’…? Of course we all have and we are ‘always’ looking for the best value. “Never” do I purchase meat in the grocery that is “NOT”… in a ‘see-thru’ container. The fresh vegetables must meet certain standards too. Surely you would ‘NOT’ buy… rotten fruit! If you use such ‘a criteria’ for your human food… ‘should you not = do the same’… for your… “Spiritual Food”…?
*** (1Corinthians 2:10-to-16) But God = has revealed them to us = by His Spirit; = for the Spirit = searches all things, = yea, the deep things of God.
(1Cor 2:11) For who among men = knows the things of a man = except the spirit of man within him? = So also = no one knows the things of God = except the Spirit of God.
(1Cor 2:12) But we have not received = the spirit of the world, = but the Spirit from God, = so that we might know the things = that are freely given to us by God.
(1Co 2:13) These things we also speak, = not in words which man's wisdom teaches, = but which the Holy Spirit teaches, = comparing spiritual things = with spiritual.
(1Cor 2:14) But the natural man = does not receive = the things of the Spirit of God, = for they are foolishness to him; = neither can he know them, = because they are spiritually discerned.
(1Cor 2:15) But he who is spiritual = judges all things, = yet he himself is judged by no one.
(1Cor 2:16) For who has known the mind of the Lord, = that he may instruct Him? = But we have the mind of Christ.
From these Bible Verses… we simply see that there are Two Kinds of ‘words’. Those from the Holy Spirit of God; to God’s Real children; who have His Holy Spirit [Romans 8:9]. Then there are the words of man’s wisdom; that are ‘not’ founded in God’s Words. They only further ‘confuse’ the issue of what God has already said… in His Holy Word! Which… ‘ONE’… do you care to know…? You take in, what feeds your soul. Remember if it is “Not”… God’s Word… then it is “Junk Food”… that will make you ‘Spiritually’… “Fat & Lazy!”
*** (Luke 24:25-26-27) And He [Jesus] said to them, = O fools and slow of heart to believe = all things that the prophets spoke!
(Luke 24:26) Was it not necessary for = the Christ [Messiah] = to suffer these things = and to enter into His glory?
(Luke 24:27) And beginning at Moses = and all the Prophets, = He [Jesus] expounded to them = in all the Scriptures = the things concerning Himself.
*** (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.
*** (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.
*** (2Peter 1:19-20-21) We also have a more sure Word of prophecy, = to which = you do well = to take heed, = as to a light that shines in a dark place, = until the day dawns = and the Daystar arises in your hearts,
(2Pet 1:20) knowing this first, = that no prophecy of the Scripture = came into being = of its own private interpretation.
(2Pet 1:21) For prophecy = was not borne at any time = by the will of man, = but holy men of God spoke being borne along by the Holy Spirit.
About now… “One” is beginning to realize, that The Holy Word of God… is the “ONLY Ground of TRUTH”… upon which the True Child of God… has to rely on. The Bible… “Never”… preaches ‘tolerance’… of Others ‘Pseudo’ [Fake] Truths! It strictly “Condemns Them!” Replete throughout the Holy Word of God… there are warnings about “False Teachers & Preachers”… and their substitutions that… “Go Against”… God’s Holy Word!

One last admonition… from the Holy Word of God! Every song is a sermon. Yes, as entertainment has replace the ‘Preaching & Teaching’… in most Churches, this is a warning too. During an hour service… how much actual Study do you get from the Holy Word of God? Do you take your Bible and take notes about the Sermon? IF not… “Why Not”…? In a 2006 study of over 10,000 = Pastors, Bible School & Seminary Teachers… “LESS”… than ‘One Third’… held to the complete authority of the Holy Word of God.
*** (Isaiah 24:2) And as it is with the people, = so it shall be with the priest; [Pastor] = as with the servant, = so with the master; = as with the handmaid, = so it is with her mistress; = as with the buyer, = so with the seller; = as with the lender, = so with the borrower; = as with the creditor, = so with the debtor. [Total Duplicity]
*** (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.
*** (1Thessalonians 5:21-to-24) Prove all things, = hold fast to the good.
(1Thes 5:22) Abstain from every appearance of evil.
(1Thes 5:23) And may the God of peace = Himself sanctify you, = and may your whole spirit = and soul = and body = be preserved blamelessly = at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(1Thes 5:24) Faithful is He = Who called you, = Who also = will do it.
*** (John 16:13-14-15) However, when He, = the Spirit of Truth, = has come, = He will guide you into all Truth. = For He shall not speak of Himself, = but whatever He hears, = He shall speak. = And He will announce to you things to come.
(John 16:14) He will glorify Me [Jesus], = for He will receive of Mine = and will announce it = to you.
(John 16:15) All things = that the Father has = are Mine. = Therefore I [Jesus] = said that He [The Holy Spirit] = will take of Mine = and will announce it = to you.
Make ‘Your’ Choice… “TODAY!” Stop… hearing, reading and taking into your mind… those things that Go Against… what God has said in His Holy Word…! Simply change your point of reference… back to the Holy Word of God… Nothing More… Nothing Less…!
*** (2Corinthians 10:3-to-9) Of course, = we are living in the flesh, = but we do not fight = in a fleshly way.
(2Cor 10:4) For the weapons = of our warfare = are not those of the flesh. = Instead, = they have the power of God = to demolish fortresses. = We tear down arguments

(2Cor 10:6) We are ready to punish every act of disobedience [1John 1:5-to-10] = when your obedience is complete. [Proverbs 28:13]

“God wants you to know”…! This application has more… “Heresy”… than I can stand. Each time I see it on FB, it makes my blood… ‘Boil!’ Most post it; without ever checking out what it is really saying! The first thing that jumped out to me… is that they “NEVER” use the Bible. God, the God of the Bible, uses His Holy Word… to speak to ‘His Real Children’. Only “His Word”… is His Truth… and “NOT”… those ‘ditty’s’ posted there!
*** (John 17:17) Sanctify them through Your Truth. = Your Word = is Truth.
*** (Matthew 24:35) The heaven and the earth shall pass away, = but = My Words = shall not pass away.
*** (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.
About now ‘One’ will see… that those that ‘make substitutions’… for the Holy Word of God, are “NOT of God!” Religious people will always have some ‘cloak of religion’… but will ‘never’ take the Word of God; as their “ONLY”… Point of Reference! It was so in the times of Christ Jesus as it was in the times of Moses [Exodus 20:19-20]. A systematic… ‘read & study… of the Old Testament, bears this out. What is even more dangerous today; is that ‘in’ most Churches… the pastors have been systematically moving their people… away from the “Holy Word of God”.

*** (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.
*** (Amos 8:11) Behold, the days come, = says the Lord GOD, = 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 the LORD:
*** (Mark 7:6-7) But He [Jesus] answered and said to them, = Well has Isaiah prophesied of you hypocrites, = as it is written, = "This people honors Me with their lips, = but their heart is far from Me.
(Mark 7:7) However, = they worship Me = in vain, = teaching for doctrines = the commandments [sayings] of men."

Have you been shopping ‘Lately’…? Of course we all have and we are ‘always’ looking for the best value. “Never” do I purchase meat in the grocery that is “NOT”… in a ‘see-thru’ container. The fresh vegetables must meet certain standards too. Surely you would ‘NOT’ buy… rotten fruit! If you use such ‘a criteria’ for your human food… ‘should you not = do the same’… for your… “Spiritual Food”…?
*** (1Corinthians 2:10-to-16) But God = has revealed them to us = by His Spirit; = for the Spirit = searches all things, = yea, the deep things of God.
(1Cor 2:11) For who among men = knows the things of a man = except the spirit of man within him? = So also = no one knows the things of God = except the Spirit of God.
(1Cor 2:12) But we have not received = the spirit of the world, = but the Spirit from God, = so that we might know the things = that are freely given to us by God.
(1Co 2:13) These things we also speak, = not in words which man's wisdom teaches, = but which the Holy Spirit teaches, = comparing spiritual things = with spiritual.
(1Cor 2:14) But the natural man = does not receive = the things of the Spirit of God, = for they are foolishness to him; = neither can he know them, = because they are spiritually discerned.
(1Cor 2:15) But he who is spiritual = judges all things, = yet he himself is judged by no one.
(1Cor 2:16) For who has known the mind of the Lord, = that he may instruct Him? = But we have the mind of Christ.
From these Bible Verses… we simply see that there are Two Kinds of ‘words’. Those from the Holy Spirit of God; to God’s Real children; who have His Holy Spirit [Romans 8:9]. Then there are the words of man’s wisdom; that are ‘not’ founded in God’s Words. They only further ‘confuse’ the issue of what God has already said… in His Holy Word! Which… ‘ONE’… do you care to know…? You take in, what feeds your soul. Remember if it is “Not”… God’s Word… then it is “Junk Food”… that will make you ‘Spiritually’… “Fat & Lazy!”
*** (Luke 24:25-26-27) And He [Jesus] said to them, = O fools and slow of heart to believe = all things that the prophets spoke!
(Luke 24:26) Was it not necessary for = the Christ [Messiah] = to suffer these things = and to enter into His glory?
(Luke 24:27) And beginning at Moses = and all the Prophets, = He [Jesus] expounded to them = in all the Scriptures = the things concerning Himself.
*** (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.
*** (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.
*** (2Peter 1:19-20-21) We also have a more sure Word of prophecy, = to which = you do well = to take heed, = as to a light that shines in a dark place, = until the day dawns = and the Daystar arises in your hearts,
(2Pet 1:20) knowing this first, = that no prophecy of the Scripture = came into being = of its own private interpretation.
(2Pet 1:21) For prophecy = was not borne at any time = by the will of man, = but holy men of God spoke being borne along by the Holy Spirit.
About now… “One” is beginning to realize, that The Holy Word of God… is the “ONLY Ground of TRUTH”… upon which the True Child of God… has to rely on. The Bible… “Never”… preaches ‘tolerance’… of Others ‘Pseudo’ [Fake] Truths! It strictly “Condemns Them!” Replete throughout the Holy Word of God… there are warnings about “False Teachers & Preachers”… and their substitutions that… “Go Against”… God’s Holy Word! Say it isn’t So…?
*** (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.

“Suicide – 101”…Blog.
“Suicide – 101”…Blog.
Perhaps if you will… allow me, I would like to discuss the topic of ‘Suicide?’ As one transitions from childhood to adolescence, they begin to realize that they are ‘not’ in total control of life. With ‘goals and demands’ on their personhood, they transition into adulthood. Then there are some adults; who come to realize that… “Control”… is just an ‘illusion and vanity’. And then live their lives… with knowing that there is a ‘greater power’… than ourselves. Anytime during this maturation process… we can derail ourselves, which may lead, to ‘Suicide’.
*** (Proverbs 4:7) Wisdom is the principal thing; = therefore get wisdom: = and with all thy getting get understanding.
*** (Proverbs 9:9-10) Give to a wise one, = and he will be still wiser; = teach a just one, = and he will increase in learning.
(Pro 9:10) The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; = and the knowledge of the holy = is understanding.
Did you know… that in Europe, before WW2, the mental hospitals were filled, to overflowing. Upon hearing the news that Hitler had invaded Austria, they were immediately vacated, by their residents, ‘willingly’. The very few remaining, less than 3%, were truly those of a ‘medical mental’ deficiency. Why then did the others… leave? Perhaps it only revealed that, they had used as an… “Escapism from Life!” Suicide is one of those choices, that we have… ‘no control’ over… when one makes that decision.
*** (Proverbs 29:18) Where there is no vision, = the people perish; = but he who keeps the law, = he is blessed.
*** (1Cointhians 9:27) But I keep under my body, = and bring it into subjection: = lest that by any means, = when I have preached to others, = I myself should be a disqualified.
‘Suicide’ is simply a ‘desperation’… to escape those things in life that we ‘cannot’ control. Perhaps looking at two examples… of suicide… from the Bible, we can further see this issue. Surely we all know about King Saul and how he was anointed by God, the Only God… to be the first king over Israel. He was ‘chosen and placed’ in that position by God, as His people Israel, demanded a king, as those other nations around them, had kings ruling over them.
*** (1Samuel 15:14-to-19) And Samuel said, What then is this bleating of the flock in my ears? And what is the sound of the herd which I hear?
(1Sam 15:15) And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites. For the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen to sacrifice to Jehovah your God. And the rest we have completely destroyed.
(1Sam 15:16) And Samuel said to Saul, Stop! And I will tell you what Jehovah has said to me tonight. And he said to him, Speak.
(1Sam 15:17) And Samuel said, When you were little in your own sight, did you not become the head of the tribes of Israel? And Jehovah anointed you king over Israel.
(1Sam 15:18) And Jehovah sent you on the way and said, Go and completely destroy the sinners, Amalek, and fight against them until you destroy them.
(1Sam 15:19) Why then did you not obey the voice of Jehovah? Why did you fly on the spoil and do evil in the sight of Jehovah?
Saul chose to ‘disobey’… God, the God of the Bible… Who had given him ‘explicit’ instructions. The kingdom was removed from him… and given to David; the next king of Israel. Saul continued in his rebellion, against God, and eventually took his own life. Anytime during his remaining life, he could have ‘repented’; instead of making ‘excuses’, for his rebellion. He hounded David, to murder him… for years… trying to kill him; as he knew that David would be the next king. Instead of accepting “God’s Judgment”… and ‘moving on’… he decided to commit suicide.
*** (1Samuel 31:1-to-4) And the Philistines fought against Israel. And the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down wounded in Mount Gilboa.
(1Sam 31:2) And the Philistines followed Saul and his sons. And the Philistines killed Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchishua, Saul's sons.
(1Sam 31:3) And the battle went hard against Saul. And the archers hit him, and he was sorely wounded by the archers.
(1Sam 31:4) And Saul said to his armor-bearer, Draw your sword and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised ones come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armor-bearer would not, for he was very much afraid. So Saul took a sword and fell on it.
There was absolutely “NOTHING”… that anyone could have done, to control his suicide. It was his decision ‘alone’. It is always a ‘personal choice’; usually to the hurt of others. We ‘cannot’ blame ourselves, when someone we know about… ‘chooses suicide’… as their way to escape the pressures of life. Yes, there are even some mental deficiencies; in certain amino acid complexes, in the human brain. These medical conditions, will allow a person to accept this ‘wrong thinking’ and accept suicide as the only choice. We cannot blame ‘anyone’… not even ourselves… for their wrong decision.
*** (Judges 13:24-25) And the woman bore a son and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and Jehovah blessed him.
(Jdg 13:25) And the Spirit of Jehovah began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol.
*** (Judges 16:27-to-30) Now the house was full of men and women. And all the lords of the Philistines were there. And on the roof were about three thousand men and women who watched while Samson made sport.
(Jdg 16:28) And Samson called to Jehovah and said, O, Lord Jehovah, remember me, I pray You, and strengthen me, I pray You, only this once, O God, so that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.
(Jdg 16:29) And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was held up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left.
(Jdg 16:30) And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself mightily, and the house fell upon the lords and upon all the people in it. So the dead whom he killed at his death were more than those he killed in his life.
*** (Hebrews 11:32) And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and = Samson = and Jephthah; also David, and Samuel and the prophets,
Even in this circumstance… Samson chose death, rather than ‘to live’… with the shame of his bad decisions. But even with that decision, he is named in the Hebrews 11… chapter of faith. Yet had he chose to live, he would have been a… ‘Living Witness’… to others of what ‘not to do’. Surely his parents ‘could not’ have controlled him, as he was strong headed. His life ended in a series of… ‘bad choices’… which yielded, ‘bad results’. Remember, we ‘cannot’ control the thoughts and actions of other. Even God… still allows His creation to exercise their… ‘Free Will’
*** (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.
*** (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 1:5-6-7) 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.
Did you notice… the first two ‘Bible Verses’… that were posted at the beginning of this blog? These above verses… “James 1:5-6-7”… implicitly state to… “Everyone!” To the unsaved and the redeemed… God is willing to give His wisdom and understanding. The problem is ‘not’ with God… but with the human… that wants to be in control; without any responsibility to God. Did you ever try and share a… ‘Bible Verse’… with someone, only to get rejected. That is the same… ‘rejection & rebellion’… that will not give God… His proper place, in one’s life.
*** (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.
(Exo 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.
*** (Proverbs 3:7) Do not be wise in your own eyes; = fear Jehovah = and depart from evil.
*** (John 3:19-20-21) 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.
(Joh 3:20) For everyone = who does evil hates the Light, = and does not come to the Light, = lest his deeds should be exposed.
(Joh 3:21) But he who practices truth = comes to the Light = so that his works may be revealed, that they exist, having been worked in God.
Simply remember… we ‘cannot’ control every aspect of Life. God has given us “ALL”… ‘free will’… for each; to make their own choice about Him. Even ‘if’ you have family members or friends… who continually reject you… because of your stand for Jesus… they are responsible… “Not YOU!” How else could God, the God of the Bible; be just and holy and righteous… IF He forced Himself on His creation…? That would not be… ‘free will’… to choose to “Love Him”… or “Not to Love Him”. Love that is forced… is ‘not’ true Love…!
*** (1John 4:19) We love Him [God] = because He first = loved us.
*** (1John 4:19) We love Him [God] = because He first = loved us.
*** (1John 4:19) We love Him [God] = because He first = loved us.

(1Sam 31:2) And the Philistines followed Saul and his sons. And the Philistines killed Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchishua, Saul's sons.
(1Sam 31:3) And the battle went hard against Saul. And the archers hit him, and he was sorely wounded by the archers.
(1Sam 31:4) And Saul said to his armor-bearer, Draw your sword and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised ones come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armor-bearer would not, for he was very much afraid. So Saul took a sword and fell on it.
There was absolutely “NOTHING”… that anyone could have done, to control his suicide. It was his decision ‘alone’. It is always a ‘personal choice’; usually to the hurt of others. We ‘cannot’ blame ourselves, when someone we know about… ‘chooses suicide’… as their way to escape the pressures of life. Yes, there are even some mental deficiencies; in certain amino acid complexes, in the human brain. These medical conditions, will allow a person to accept this ‘wrong thinking’ and accept suicide as the only choice. We cannot blame ‘anyone’… not even ourselves… for their wrong decision.
*** (Judges 13:24-25) And the woman bore a son and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and Jehovah blessed him.
(Jdg 13:25) And the Spirit of Jehovah began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol.
*** (Judges 16:27-to-30) Now the house was full of men and women. And all the lords of the Philistines were there. And on the roof were about three thousand men and women who watched while Samson made sport.
(Jdg 16:28) And Samson called to Jehovah and said, O, Lord Jehovah, remember me, I pray You, and strengthen me, I pray You, only this once, O God, so that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.
(Jdg 16:29) And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was held up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left.
(Jdg 16:30) And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself mightily, and the house fell upon the lords and upon all the people in it. So the dead whom he killed at his death were more than those he killed in his life.
*** (Hebrews 11:32) And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and = Samson = and Jephthah; also David, and Samuel and the prophets,
Even in this circumstance… Samson chose death, rather than ‘to live’… with the shame of his bad decisions. But even with that decision, he is named in the Hebrews 11… chapter of faith. Yet had he chose to live, he would have been a… ‘Living Witness’… to others of what ‘not to do’. Surely his parents ‘could not’ have controlled him, as he was strong headed. His life ended in a series of… ‘bad choices’… which yielded, ‘bad results’. Remember, we ‘cannot’ control the thoughts and actions of other. Even God… still allows His creation to exercise their… ‘Free Will’
*** (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.
*** (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 1:5-6-7) 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.
Did you notice… the first two ‘Bible Verses’… that were posted at the beginning of this blog? These above verses… “James 1:5-6-7”… implicitly state to… “Everyone!” To the unsaved and the redeemed… God is willing to give His wisdom and understanding. The problem is ‘not’ with God… but with the human… that wants to be in control; without any responsibility to God. Did you ever try and share a… ‘Bible Verse’… with someone, only to get rejected. That is the same… ‘rejection & rebellion’… that will not give God… His proper place, in one’s life.
*** (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.
(Exo 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.
*** (Proverbs 3:7) Do not be wise in your own eyes; = fear Jehovah = and depart from evil.
*** (John 3:19-20-21) 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.
(Joh 3:20) For everyone = who does evil hates the Light, = and does not come to the Light, = lest his deeds should be exposed.
(Joh 3:21) But he who practices truth = comes to the Light = so that his works may be revealed, that they exist, having been worked in God.
Simply remember… we ‘cannot’ control every aspect of Life. God has given us “ALL”… ‘free will’… for each; to make their own choice about Him. Even ‘if’ you have family members or friends… who continually reject you… because of your stand for Jesus… they are responsible… “Not YOU!” How else could God, the God of the Bible; be just and holy and righteous… IF He forced Himself on His creation…? That would not be… ‘free will’… to choose to “Love Him”… or “Not to Love Him”. Love that is forced… is ‘not’ true Love…!
*** (1John 4:19) We love Him [God] = because He first = loved us.
*** (1John 4:19) We love Him [God] = because He first = loved us.
*** (1John 4:19) We love Him [God] = because He first = loved us.

“9-11” = 2010 = ‘Lest We Forget?’...Blog.
“9-11” = 2010 = ‘Lest We Forget?’...Blog.
“Terrorism”… is born out of Jealousy! It is the tool of those who have… ‘No Life’… and is based on “Hatred!” It is despicable and used by those that have absolutely No Hope… in this life or in eternity. And we are led, by the ‘liberal news media’… to believe that Islam is a religion of Peace…? Even they cannot tell the “Truth” about history and the ‘Muslim Culture’ that has held captive those by the Ottoman Empire. Perhaps a short history lesson…?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_empire
Yesterday my Blog… discussed this issue, but in the Remembrance of “9 – 11” Anniversary today… I though it prudent to re-visit this issue. IF you will simply study the History with the above links, you will see that the Muslim has… “World Domination”… as their ‘agenda’. They do ‘not’ seek peace; nor are they interested in peace. Their hatred for Israel is evident for all to see. Once again, hatred, jealousy, lies and “Willful Ignorance”… is their only; ‘claim to notoriety.
Question: “When did you ever hear a Muslim, or anyone that practices Islam, ever apologize for that the Terrorists of the “9-11” Attack…” They are much like the “Goa’uld” of the Stargate series… who want to dominate all, to submission, of their “False Religion”. Those countries that are Muslim… ‘cannot’ even control their own people; who are Muslim. How much more, do they think they can… rule this world?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stargate_SG-1
“FEAR” – is their Tool of Choice… and death… to all those that will not submit to their leadership. The saddest part about this whole thing… is that “NONE” of history… has ever been ruled by… “One Religion.” Even those of Islam fight among themselves to their detriment. Once the Catholic church had rule of most of Europe and their Despotic Rule… caused the “Dark Ages of History”. A religion cannot rule here on this earth.
Even in the “Secular” realm… “Alexander the Great”… “Genjhis Kahn”… “Adolph Hitler”… or any of the many ‘despots’… have never been able to rule. Where is Hammurabi and the Babylon Empire and the hanging gardens, one of the ‘seven wonders’ of past history? All those leaders and empires… have since, passed off the scene… hardly to be known today. Not even the Incas of “Machu Picchu… and the Inca empire; throughout central and south America…? All those empires are gone… as is their rule.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylon
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machu_picchu
Now to the issue of “Terror”…! Perhaps a look at “WHO”… is really in control; and you will see that “NO Religion”… is in control… and never will be so. God the God of the Bible says that there is… “NO GOD”… but Himself. His Holy Name is Jehovah… and He rules over all the kingdoms of this earth. He above all… is the “Only One”… to be feared. That ‘reverential’, fear of God… is by what mankind… is given wisdom and understanding. “All”… know that God will ‘judge’ everyone, but ‘only’ His real children… know, love and serve Him… out of Love.
*** (Proverbs 29:25) The fear of man brings a snare, = but he trusting Jehovah = is set on high.
*** (Proverbs 16:6) By mercy and truth, = iniquity is purged, = and by the fear of Jehovah = men turn away from evil.
*** (Isaiah 8:13) Sanctify Jehovah of Hosts Himself, = and let Him be your fear, = and let Him = be your dread.
*** (Luke 12:4-5-6) And I [Jesus] = say to you, My friends, = do not be afraid of those = who kill the body, = and after that = have no more that they can do.
(Luke 12:5) But I [Jesus] = will warn you = of Whom you shall fear: Fear Him [God] = Who, after He has killed, = has authority = to cast into hell. = Yea, = I [Jesus] = say to you, = fear Him [God].
(Luke 12:6) Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings? = And not one of them = is forgotten before God.
*** (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14) Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter. = Fear God, = and keep His commandments. = For this is the whole duty of man.
(Eccl 12:14) For God shall bring = every work into judgment, = with every secret thing, = whether it is good, = or whether evil.
Surely, after reading this… “ONE”… cannot be afraid of “Muslim Terrorists”… “IF” they have a relationship with God; through the Finished Work of Redemption by Christ Jesus…? Remember, ‘fear of man’… is a snare. IF you trust in God, He is keeping you… and He says He will never leave you, nor forsake you [Hebrews 13:5]. But IF you are ‘not’ His child… “THEN” you have a real reason… “To Fear”…! Do you remember that “9-11”… was previously attempted… by “Muslim Terrorists”… on the World Trade Center… in 1993. Or did you… just forget ‘History’…?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_World_Trade_Center_bombing
IF anyone ‘does not’… learn from History… they will soon repeat IT! Remember Adolph Hitler… also promised… “Change!” To the Muslim… only Allah is God, and Mohamed is his prophet. What they ‘refuse’ to realize… is that God; The God of the Bible… “JEHOVAH”… has previously said… “HE”… is the Only God… and there is NONE Other…! God said that… “1500 – Years”… before the ‘Muslim’ religion.
*** (Isaiah 44:6) So says Jehovah, the King of Israel, and His redeemer Jehovah of Hosts; = I am the first, = and I am the last; = and besides Me there is = no God.
*** (Isaiah 45:21-to-25) Declare and bring near; yea, let them take counsel together. Who has declared this of old? Who has told it from then? = Is it not I, Jehovah? And there is no other God besides Me; a just God and a Savior; there is none besides Me.
(Isa 45:22) Turn to Me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; = for I am God, and there is no other.
(Isa 45:23-24-25) I have sworn by Myself, = the word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness, = and shall not return, = that to Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
(Isa 45:24) He says, = Only in Jehovah do I have righteousness and strength; = even to Him he comes. = And they are ashamed, = all = who are angry with Him.
(Isa 45:25) In Jehovah = shall ‘all’ the seed of Israel be justified, = and shall glory.
The Muslim’s = “Hate for Israel”… is simply founded out of this “Jealousy” = that Jehovah God… has for His Chose People… Israel. I have had a Muslim try and tell me that Jehovah and Allah… were the ‘same god’. That cannot possibly be… because God Loves Israel… and the Muslim Hates… “Israel”…! Here in America… there are many Born Again Christians… who love Israel and the Jewish People. Jesus came of the seed and lineage of King David of Israel.
*** (Ezekiel 5:5) So says the Lord Jehovah: = This is Jerusalem. = I have set it in the middle of the nations, = and all around her, = are the lands.
*** (Jeremiah 3:17) At that time they shall call Jerusalem = the throne of Jehovah; = and all nations shall be gathered to it, = to the name of Jehovah, = to Jerusalem. = Nor shall they walk any more = after the stubbornness of their evil heart.
*** (Isaiah 55:3-to-11) Bow down your ear, and come to Me; = hear, and your soul shall live; = and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, = even the sure mercies of David.
(Isa 55:4) Behold, I have given Him for a witness to the people, = a Leader and Commander of peoples.
(Isa 55:5) Behold, = You shall call a nation that You do not know; = a nation that did not know You shall run to You = because of Jehovah Your God, = and for the Holy One of Israel; = for He has glorified You.
(Isa 55:6) Seek Jehovah = while He may be found; = call on Him = while He is near.
(Isa 55:7) Let the wicked forsake his way, = and the unrighteous man his thoughts; = and let him return to Jehovah, = and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, = for He will abundantly pardon.
(Isa 55:8) For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor your ways My ways, says Jehovah.
(Isa 55:9) For as the heavens are higher than the earth, = so are My ways higher than your ways, = and My thoughts = than your thoughts.
(Isa 55:10) For as the rain comes down, and the snow from the heavens, = and does not return there, = but waters the earth, = and makes it bring out and bud, = and give seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
(Isa 55:11) so shall My Word be, = which goes out of My mouth; = it shall not return to Me void, = but it shall accomplish = what I [God] please, = and it shall certainly do = what I sent it = to do.
Certainly after reading this… one ‘cannot’ possibly ever believe… that Islam can ever destroy Israel… and its peoples…? Then those Redeemed by the Precious Blood of Christ Jesus… will also receive the protection from God… till He chooses to call that one… “Home to Heaven!” Why then… would one even fear… Islam and their Lies…?

(Jer 31:36) IF = those ordinances depart from Me, = says Jehovah, = the seed of Israel also = shall cease from being a nation before Me forever.

(Rom 9:8) That is, = it is not the children of natural descent = who are God's children, = but it is the children of the promise = who are regarded as descendants.

(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.

“Burning the Quran – 101”…Blog.
“Burning the 'Quran' – 101”…Blog.
*** (Proverbs 14:15) The simple believes every word, but the wise man watches his step.
Isn’t it about time… for some commons sense? A ‘supposed pastor’ of a church here in Florida is grandstanding, by threatening to burn a copy of the Quran. It us just a book… like the American Flag… is just a Flag! There is NO Law, nor restriction for doing either. So what is it with all the Hype…? Perhaps a look at Islam and that they really believe?
For a quick overview… I will give you the main issues. I will also provide you with some other internet reference points. You will have to wade through them and sort out the “Truth and the Lies”. Obviously a religion that started…. Circa 700-AD… cannot be… Of the One True God… Whose Name is Jehovah!
1. Islam / Muslim Religion did not start till… Circa 700-AD.
2. Abraham is the physical Father of both ‘the Jew and the Arab’, through his sons.
3. Abraham’s lineage… ‘the Jews’… follow Jehovah God.
4. Abraham’s lineage… ‘the Arabs’… follow Allah.
5. Ishmael [first born son of Hagar = Sarah’s servant girl = The Arab].
6. Isaac [second born son – from Abraham’s Wife = The Jewish Lineage] .
7. Allah claims to be God… ‘Allah Akbar = Only Allah is God.
8. Jehovah says He is The Only God… “Isaiah 44:5-6” and many other verses.
9. Islam did not start till… Circa 700-AD.
10. Judaism started with Abram and the Covenant from Jehovah God 1900-BC, some 2,600-years before Islam.
Now here are… interesting internet links about Islam. I would even have you look at the one, where ‘Salmon Rushdie’ was threatened with ‘DEATH’… for publishing a book about Islam… mocking its religion as false. In this modern day… how could a ‘civilized religion’… place a Death Bounty on another human being? Could not “Allah”… Himself… Kill Salmon Rushdie? He has to have his Religious Leaders proclaim his death? How then can Islam… be a religion of “Peace?” It cannot! “Death to All Infidels!” “Convert to Islam… or Die!”
Please take the time… to research some History about Islam and the Ottoman Empire. Those that have spoken out about Islam have had death threats against themselves and their families. How then can a religion… that preaches peace… Hate those that disagree with It…? This is 2010 and not the ‘middle ages’ where darkness and superstition ruled. So why in this age… does Islam… make death threats… against those that disagree with them…?

About now… you are being informed about Islam and their History. But what about their claim about Jesus and other Biblical facts copied into the Quran. Please take some time and read these three Blogs that will give you an over view of Islam and that they teach… compared with the Holy Word of God.

"I never give them Hell."I just tell the Truth and they think it's Hell. --Harry S. Truman, President 1945-1953
“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people do nothing.”
British statesman Edmund Burke
Most know ‘nothing’… but what they ‘hear or learn’… from the Liberal News Media. Do you remember the American Hostages that were held in Islamic Iran for “444-days?” On any news cast… you can see American Flags burning, and yet the USA foreign aid… still flows from our government to that country. We have lost our way… as a leader nation… in the world. It is all about politics and “Nothing”…. about “Right & Wrong!”

*** (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.
*** (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!
Shall we see what they... Really Believe... instead of hearing them LIE and say they are a religion of Peace?
In Qur’an 25:44, Allah says that unbelievers are worse than cattle and animals.
Ibn Kathir provides the reason why non-Muslims are worse than animals and grazing cattle: cattle only do what they were created to do, but these people were created to worship Allah alone without associating partners with Him, but they worship others with Him, even though evidence has been established against them and Messengers have been sent to them.
Allah hurls further insults to the Jews and Christians if they do not accept the Qur’an. Allah says in Qur’an 4:47 that the Qur’an confirms the books sent before it; the people of the book are cursed if they do not believe in the Qur’an. Because of this calumny Allah may efface their faces. According to ibn Kathir effacing means turning them blind; turn their faces backward means to put their faces on their backs and make them walk backwards, and curse them means to turn them into animals.
Allah says in Qur’an 6:122 that He raises the believers from the dead and provides them with light to enable them to move among the disbelievers; but the unbelievers move in total darkness.
Commenting on this verse Maulana Abul Ala Maududi, a modern exegete of the Qur’an writes (Tafheem ul Quran commentary number 6/88):
Death signifies here the state of ignorance and lack of consciousness, whereas life denotes the state of knowledge and true cognition, the state of awareness of Reality. He, who cannot distinguish between right and wrong and does not know the Straight Way for human life, may be alive on the biological plane, but his essential humanity is not. He may be a living animal but is certainly not a living human being. A living human being is one who can distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, honesty from dishonesty.
Compare this to what the Bible really teaches about… “Heaven & Hell & Death”… here in this Blog.
