“Sharing Christ = with Others – 101”…Blog.


“Sharing Christ = with Others – 101”…Blog.



Perhaps some helps… in sharing the Gospel with Others = Especially those that are not so fortunate to live where you live? How do you ‘share’ the Gospel… with someone that lives in another country… where English is not their ‘native tongue?” How do I communicate the “Goodness of God”… and the “Judgment of God?” If one is to share the… ‘Complete Truth’… they must share a “Complete Gospel” = “Hebrews 10:28-to-31”.

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/02/unbalanced-101blog.html  


Many times… you will see people ‘only’ post the positive aspects of the Gospel… and none of the negative aspects for… “Rejecting God’s Mercy & Grace!” Please read the above blog to see what this means. In addition can you… or have you… written out what the Gospel is? How do you communicate the ‘Gospel’… if you cannot explain it. There are probably more… “False Gospels” – being preached… than real ones. Does that surprise you…?

*** (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.

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/03/what-is-gospel.html


What is Sin… and how do you explain it to another? Because laws and customs vary from country to country, how does one communicate the Gospel so that it is easy to understand? You say you are a Christian and Love Jesus… but just how… do you communicate that to others? Can you do so… or How would you do so… to someone of another language?

*** (1John 3:4) Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness, for sin is lawlessness.

*** (Matthew 7:23) And then I [Jesus] will say to them I never knew you! Depart from Me, those working lawlessness!

*** (Numbers 15:15-16) One ordinance for you of the congregation and also for the stranger that resides with you, an ordinance forever in your generations. As you are, so the stranger shall be before Jehovah.
(Num 15:16) One law = and = one way = shall be for you and for the stranger that lives with you.

*** (John 14:6) Jesus said to him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; = no one = comes to the Father but by Me.

Ok now… that your curiosity is ‘peaked’, perhaps some tools and helps… to help you share the Gospel…? If you cannot write out for yourself the Gospel and what it means, how then can you share the Love of Christ with Others? Since someone told you… perhaps you can share the Love of Christ with others…? But is a balanced aspect and ‘not’ in that one sided tell… that paints God out to be a Santa Clause. If you did not read the blog about a balanced gospel, please go to the link above and read it first…? [Romans 10:9-to-13]

*** (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,
(Acts 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.
(Acts 17:32) And hearing of a resurrection of the dead, some indeed mocked; and others said, We will hear you again concerning this.

*** (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.


*** (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.

Ok it is “The Word”… and God’s Holy Spirit that bring about… the knowledge of God and Salvation. So how do I communicate “God’s Holy Word”… to another of a different language and tongue? There is a “Free Bible Software” program that you can download to your computer. In it are many Bible Translations from the OT Hebrew and NT Greek. The English version that we use can be found in Other Languages with that Program.

WWW.E-SWORD.NET 


Within this program… is the ability to find the verse in English… and then highlight the “Chapter & Verse”. In doing so the selected verse or verses… can be opened in another language and then copied. Just this morning I share a verse in Afrikaans with an English speaker in South Africa. One can also do word searches… to find where a particular verse is seen throughout the Scriptures. You may also look at the meaning in OT Hebrew or NT Greek. There are also ‘Many’ other Bible helps in this program, commentaries, maps and even the NT in Hebrew!

http://translate.google.com/#


Ok but How…? Do I ‘post’ a message in their language? The above link is a “Language Translation Program” on ‘Google’. I use it all the time To post messages… and to… Translate back into English… a message one has sent to me. See how… “Simple it Is?” Yes it will take you a short time to learn how to use both of these programs. But it is well worth it…!

*** (Luke 24:44-to-48) And He said to them, These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and in the Prophets and in the Psalms about Me.
(Luke 24:45) And He opened their mind to understand the Scriptures.
(Luke 24:46) And He said to them, So it is written, and so it 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.

(Luke 24:45) 於是耶稣开他们的心窍,使他们能明白圣经,
(Luke 24:46) 又对他们说:「照经上所写的,基督必受害,第三日从死里复活,

“No Satisfaction – 101”…Blog.


“No Satisfaction – 101”…Blog.



This morning… while reading through the book of ‘Numbers’ in the Bible it struck me about how I am, much like those ‘Children of Israel’; that Moses led out of Egypt and through the wilderness. It seems the ‘mundane of life’ often leaves us in with an ‘Un-Thankful’ attitude about Life! All that “God”… had done for ‘Israel’, was soon ‘Forgotten!’ The miracles, the deliverance from slavery, the Divine protection from Pharaoh’s army… and supplying them with “Manna” = ‘Angels Food’… and they still “Complained!” As I read the Word… I find that I must sometimes confess my ‘like attitude’… to God, as Sin!

*** (Numbers 10:35-36) And it happened when the ark pulled up, Moses said, Rise up, Jehovah, and let Your enemies be scattered, and let those who hate You flee before You.
(Num 10:36) And when it rested, he said, Return, O Jehovah, to the many thousands of Israel.

*** (1Timothy 6:6-7-8) But godliness with contentment is great gain.
(1Tim 6:7) For we brought nothing into the world, and it is clear that we can carry nothing out.
(1Tim 6:8) But having food and clothing, we will be content.

In this present… economic, employment and ‘national crisis’… ‘many’ do not know where to turn. For a very long time, our country has had economic prosperity to excess. Many now thinking about retirement have seen investments and securities… evaporate into nothingness. The Great Depression of the 20’s… has come full circle, only to return again. It is impossible to… borrow our way out of debt… as our government has been “Wrongly”… trying to do! This too caused dissatisfaction.

*** (1Timothy 5:24) Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment. And some they also follow after.

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

*** (Proverbs 29:18) Where there is no vision, the people perish; but he who keeps the law, he is blessed.

Recently in ‘Advertizing’… there has been a big push to make one… even more ‘dissatisfied’… in order to sell more of their “Products & Services”. I even went and bought some of that “Anti-Aging Cream”… but it did me… “No Good!” [Joke] …I am still ‘aging’ and it will not stop it! Which of us drives only ‘Highway Miles’; yet car advertizing is bragging about ‘30-plus’ highway miles! Does a new vehicle… really make you more important than your neighbor? Will that ‘Flat Screen TV’… really make you enjoy life more? Or is it only a ‘caveat’ of that electronic drug called… “Entertainment?”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CqVYPVCR9M    “No Satisfaction!”


*** (Proverbs 15:14-15-16) The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.
(Pro 15:15) All the days of the afflicted are evil, but gladness of heart is a continual feast.
(Pro 15:16) Better is a little with the fear of Jehovah than great treasure and tumult with it.

Are you ‘Satisfied’… or are You = “Thankful”… for what you have, ‘either’ little or more? They are simply… “Opposites!” Remember what you ‘Own’… “Owns You!” Those that have purchased houses… they could not afford with ‘Large Mortgages’… are now realizing that. Those credit cards which were supposed to be used for ‘convenience’… have been used in excess to increase one’s debt status. What seemed so good at first… has come back to ‘haunt many’. Perhaps now is the time to make some Immediate Decisions. Simply… “Stop ‘Spending’ – for Nothings!”

*** (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.

“TV” & “Videos”… bring into our ‘hearts & minds’… ideas and concepts that we should ‘not’ have! Those “Chic Flicks” give women… unrealistic expectations about ‘men’ and ‘how’ they should be. “Pornography” does the same to men and gives them… unrealistic expectations about ‘women’ and ‘how’ they should be. This attitude of “Casual Sex” and “Sex before Marriage”… has led our society and culture ‘to accept’… “Anything ‘But’ = God’s Standard!” The “Perversions of Homosexuality”, has been renamed… ‘Gay’… to ‘force it’… to be acceptable to our society and culture.

*** (Romans 1:22-to-28) Professing to be wise, they became fools
(Rom 1:23) and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man, and birds, and four-footed animals, and creeping things.
(Rom 1:24) Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves.
(Rom 1:25) For they changed the truth of God into a lie, and they worshiped and served the created thing more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
(Rom 1:26) For this cause, God gave them up to dishonorable affections. For even their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature.
(Rom 1:27) And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another; males with males working out shamefulness, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was fitting for their error.
(Rom 1:28) And even as they did not think fit to have God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do the things not right,

One of the ‘Cesars’ of Rome… had a “Horse as a ‘domestic partner!’ When our society degrades even ‘more’ than it has… will universal health care… pay ‘Veterinarian’ bills for their “Animals?” Will the continued… “Murder of Innocent Babies”… killed by Abortion in their Mother’s wombs… “Continue?” Surely God; the God of the Bible did not change His Commands into Suggestions? When you do not take a stand against the Evil… or even speak Out about IT… you become part of the Problem… instead of the Solution.

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

*** (Exodus 20:13) You shall Not Murder Innocent Life!

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


When will YOU… become more “Dissatisfied with Sin”… than with ‘Things?’ Only then… when we come to the end of ourselves… will we perhaps as a People… and a Nation… Turn to God and cry out to Him… to forgive us our Sin… and Heal Our Nation…?

*** (2Chronicles 7:13-14) If I shut up the heavens, and there is no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send a plague among My people;
(2Ch 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.

*******
*** (Psalms 138:2) I will worship = toward Your holy temple, = and = praise Your Name = for Your loving-kindness = and = for “Your Truth's” sake; = for You [God] = have magnified = = = “Your Word” = = = ‘Above All’ = Your Name. = [Psalms 119:18 & 1Samuel 3:21 & Deuteronomy 29:29]

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

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

“The Anointing – 101”…Blog.


“The Anointing – 101”…Blog.



Thank you for “Asking”…! First please allow me to explain the OT economy of Anointing and then I will explain the NT concept. Many speak of the “OT & NT” anointing of the same thing… but they are as ‘radically’ different as “Night & Day!” In the OT the Holy Spirit came and went… dependant on the obedience of the believer. Surely all remember the facts about; Saul and David in 1Samuel…? IF you don’t… perhaps this will help.

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

*** (1Samuel 16:14-15) But the spirit of Jehovah departed from Saul, = and an evil spirit from Jehovah terrified him.
(1Sa 16:15) And Saul's servants said to him, Behold now, = an evil spirit from God terrifies you.

*** (Psalms 51:11-12) Cast me not away from Your presence, and take not Your Holy Spirit from me.
(Psalms 51:12) Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.

Depending on heart motive… and ‘obedience’ to God… in the OT… He took away His Holy Spirit from believers. Saul anointed the first king of Israel… disobeyed God and was given an evil spirit to rule him till his demise. King David committed Adultery with Bathsheba, killed her husband and other soldiers with him. The lives of those ‘innocent’ men were upon David. Simply read Psalms 51 that speaks about his repentance. The “Holy Spirit” was represented by the ‘Anointing Oil’… used by Samuel the prophet.

*** (1John 2:20) But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.

*** (Ephesians 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,

*** (1Corinthians 12:13) For also by one Spirit we are all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free, even all were made to drink into one Spirit.

*** (Romans 8:9) But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone has not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His.

In the NT economy… the Church is separated from the OT economy of Sacrifices for Sin. The “Finished Work of Redemption”… by Christ Jesus… the Messiah is a… “Once for All Time Sacrifice!” No more are daily sacrifices required under the Law of God given through Moses. Many confuse this issue… not knowing this… “Fact!” Salvation by God’s Grace & Mercy Alone… is called being ‘Born Again [from above] The Holy Spirit take us present and eternal resident in the True Believer… never to leave… as was the OT economy.

*** (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.

*** (John 14:16-17-18) 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.

*** (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.

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

“Christ Jesus” in His Finished Work of Redemption… He... Sat Down at the right hand of the Throne of God. He is the Author of “Eternal Salvation”… not temporary. Never do you read in the OT of a ‘chair’ anywhere in the tabernacle or in the temple. The OT priests continually offered sacrifices. “Each Day”… “Every Day”… “Continually!” If you live near a Burger King or an Outback Steak house… you can smell the continual cooking. So it was in the OT economy of the Continual Offerings…!

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

*** (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.

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/04/salvation-101blog-temporary-or.html


Now for the ‘word’… “Anointing” In the Greek NT, “Textus Receptus”… this word means a “Once for ‘All’ Time” act. It is of the same meaning in the word… “Sealed”… speaking of the Holy Spirit sealing the real believer. “Once for ‘All’ Time!” The baptism of the Holy Spirit… comes from God… to the believer… “Once for ‘All’ Time!” Being Born Again… only happens… “Once for ‘All’ Time!” Simple when one looks at the work of the Holy Spirit… given by God’s grace and mercy… free from All Work of Mankind! The Holy Spirit means “Eternal Life” in the true believer… “Once for ‘All’ Time!”

*** (Ephesians 3:16-to-19) that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man;
(Eph 3:17) that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
(Eph 3:18) may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth and length and depth and height,
(Eph 3:19) and to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fullness of God.

*** (Ephesians 5:17-18) Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
(Eph 5:18) And do not be drunk with wine, in which is excess, but be filled with the Spirit,

*** (Ephesians 4:30) And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you are sealed until the day of redemption.

About now… one may see that Salvation and being Born Again… and living for Christ… is "All" the power of the Holy Spirit and not of us. Take some time… and read through the NT… writing down in a note book… all the verses that pertain to the Holy Spirit and Salvation. This will not happen overnight. Mushrooms grow up overnight but soon wither. Oak trees take a long time to mature. Yet most would enjoy a desk made from oak… and not mushrooms! …LOL!

*** (2Corinthians 4:7) But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the excellence of the power may be of God and = Not = of us;

*** (Galatians 6:3) For if anyone thinks himself to be something, being nothing, he deceives himself.

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

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

*** (2Timothy 2:15) Study earnestly to present yourself approved to God, a workman that does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth.

*** (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.

*******
*** (Psalms 138:2) I will worship = toward Your holy temple, = and = praise Your Name = for Your loving-kindness = and = for “Your Truth's” sake; = for You [God] = have magnified = = = “Your Word” = = = ‘Above All’ = Your Name. = [Psalms 119:18 & 1Samuel 3:21 & Deuteronomy 29:29]

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

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

“NT Sabbath Keepers – 101”…Blog.


“NT Sabbath Keepers – 101”…Blog.



There are several… people on FB that call themselves Christian and speak about keeping the Sabbath. This bothers me… because of the “Many Unbelievers” that post on this BB also. Why…? If the Christians cannot even be sure of Worship… how then can the unbelievers see the Light of the Gospel…? Since we are to be a witness for Christ Jesus… how is this difference reconciled?

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

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/05/sabbath-nt-christian-101blog.html


The ‘ONE’ Question is… does Salvation in Christ Jesus… come about by keeping the Law of Moses… or is it… “Only – by God’s Grace and Mercy”…? This is a simple question and is simply answered. Salvation is by Grace Alone… and not by works of any kind. Is then keeping the Sabbath… earning more favor with God… than those that do not keep the Sabbath… BUT worship some other day…? “Yes or No”…?

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

*** (Galatians 3:2) This only I would learn from you: = Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, [James 2:10] = or by hearing of faith = [Ephesians 1:7-to-14]?
(Gal 3:3) Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, = do you now perfect yourself in the flesh?

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/08/salvation-101blog-temporary-or.html


About now… those that were taught to keep; The Sabbath… by their “Church Denomination” are in a tizzy! You see, even in the early church… there were ‘false teachers’… a group called the Gnostics. These falsely claimed to have a more perfect knowledge of what God wanted, separate from the Scriptures. They falsely claimed… ‘Special Revelation’… from God!’

*** (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.

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/03/dreams-visions-101.html


So what is the Answer…? What did the early believers do? How were they to know… what was Truth and what was not? The same question is for today. Many hear all sorts of preaches and teachers… especially on the Internet. Each one has their jaded interpretation of what the Scriptures say. But there is… Only One Way… to check the Truth of any preaching or teaching. Even mine in these blogs. Get out your Bible… and Check It OUT!

*** (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.

All one has ‘to do’… is go to the Internet and check out their Denomination? No, I am not speaking about their Denomination web site… but any of the other historical sites. The secular information about said denomination can be quite revealing. Each one falsely claiming… to be the Only Right Church! There are even those that falsely claim to be descended from the Apostles. Sorry but they are “Wrong!”

*** (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.

*** (2Corinthians 11:13-14-15) For such ones are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
(2Co 11:14) Did not even Satan marvelously transform himself into an angel of light?
(2Co 11:15) Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves as ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works.

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/03/what-is-gospel.html


In this blog link… there is a discussion about the Many Denominations and what they preach & teach. Simply examine what your denomination believes… AND… “WHY?” You may even refuse to read this blog or do what is suggested and check out your Church. That is up to you, as You will have to answer to Christ Jesus… when you stand before Him. Please take the time and find out…? Remember some of those Adult Skills we learn… mean to Unlearn – some of what we think we knew – and replace it with God’s Truth!

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

*** (Psalms 138:2) I will worship toward Your holy temple, and praise Your name for Your loving-kindness and for Your truth's sake; for You have magnified = Your Word = above all Your name.

*** (2Corinthians 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, unless you are reprobates?

*** (Galatians 4:16) So then did I become your enemy speaking to you the truth?

“Internet Addiction – 101”… Blog.



Thank you for asking…! FB and Other Social Internet Sites… are a lot like ‘Pornography!’ You get Thrills… and the Mental, Emotional and Physiological KUDOS… without any Real Commitment. I find that I must discipline myself or else I would or could spend all day on the Internet. There are “City Cams”… all over the world and one can travel and visit them on the Internet. But like any good thing… it can get away from you or tie you up.

http://www.earthcam.com/  


A friend of mine… and his wife had been married for 12 years. They both had internet site accounts and spent considerable time “On LINE”… when they should have been developing and nurturing… One Another! Soon the wife started acting indifferent to her husband and two children, a boy 7 and a girl 4. Just as a radical change in behavior of Adolescents may be related to drugs… so the same in adults may be the same indication of Internet Addiction.

*** (Romans 6:16) Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey-either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?

Long story short… she left her husband for a guy she met on the Internet. Six weeks later, she came home to her husband and asked if they could work out thing, because of their children. Her husband forgave her and they started again to rebuild their family. The danger sign was that she never left off… from the internet. Within months she again left… and he filed for divorce and custody of their children. Within months she came back… but this time he was not fooled.

*** (James 1:14-15-16) But each one is tempted by his lusts, being drawn away and seduced by them.
(Jas 1:15) Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin. And sin, when it is fully formed, brings forth death.
(Jas 1:16) Do not err, my beloved brothers.

Almost like ‘anything’ in life… it can become Addicting. How you manage your time and leisure can be an indication of self discipline. It is when we allow… things… to run us, is when we get into trouble. Sports, Movies and dare I say… “Shopping”… can be an addiction. When a man has to have… Sports Under ware… that is a sure sign of Addiction. When a woman will Only… use a Gucci purse or Prada shows… that too can be a sign of Addiction! …LOL!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0458352/

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zicgut4gpwU

I recommend this movie… but must caution there is one scene an overnight stay of sexual sin. The general spirit of this move is to show the Addiction that clothes and fashion… become god [small-g] in ourselves by what we wear or do. Cars, Employment, Friends and even our Houses can become an addiction in our lives. Our free will enables us to take and make such choices. No one forces them onto us… it always remains… “Our Choice!”

We are All... Put to the TEST. But it Never Comes in the Form or at the Point, or in the Form we would prefer, Does It?


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

This is from a movie… “The Edge”. Again please allow me to caution you, this movie has profanity in it. The first time I saw it… was on the television and there was no profanity. This movie is filled with the conflict between… Right & Wrong… in the lives of two men. I can recommend it as I have purchased the DVD and seen it about 10 or more times. “Why is the rabbit unafraid?” “Because he is smarter than the Panther!” There are many options to see movies without profanity. Simply “Google = movies without profanity” and you will see the Links.

http://www.burnworld.com/clearplay/index.htm


When one is Born Again… by the Holy Spirit of God = their focus on life changes. They then have the Choice… to choose between “Good & Evil”… “Right & Wrong.” Christ Jesus sets the True Believer… free from both the “Power of Sin” and the “Penalty of Sin”. But their free will never leaves them. Without a daily feeding in the Word of God… the Christian will soon succumb to his or her former desires.

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

*** (1Peter 4:3-4) 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.

Sorry I am not… your Father nor your Husband nor your Boyfriend. Besides IF I were, you would not want me to tell you what to do or not to do! EACH OF US… must develop that self discipline to control our Internet desires. Really there is the potential of Good & Evil… with the internet use. We simply have to control ourselves… and Not Let the Internet… Control US. One sure way is NOT to do surveys! Do not sign up for Freebies! Does it sound too good to be true? Then it surely is as there is… No Free Lunch!

*** (1Corinthians 9:24-to-27) You know that in a race all the runners run but only one wins the prize, don't you? You must run in such a way that you may be victorious.
(1Cor 9:25) Everyone who enters an athletic contest practices self-control in everything. They do it to win a wreath that dies, but we to win one that never dies.
(1Cor 9:26) That is the way I run, with a clear goal in mind. That is the way I box, not like someone punching the air.
(1Cor 9:27) No, I keep on beating my body and making it my slave so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not somehow be disqualified.

Thanks for Asking… Roger.

“Face Book & Other – ‘Begging’ – 101” …Blog. English / Chinese /中文


“Face Book & Other – ‘Begging’ – 101” …Blog. English / Chinese /中文



As a participant on Face Book… and several other sites, I have seen Identical Begging’s posted by the ‘Same Person’ on several sites. Not all do this, but it has become a Problem. Recently one of my friends wrote me about a Pastor in a third world country that asked for funds. Some are taken in by these people repeatedly. I have been asked to help, but have responded in this manner.

*** (Luke 16:11) Therefore = if = you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, = who will entrust the true riches to you?

Hello Friend,


You say that... you know the God of the Bible and that Christ Jesus is your Savior and Lord. Yet you find yourself in such a financial situation, that you have asked me for funds. Perhaps you will kindly answer some few questions that I have for you. If I were to let you to… wrongly take advantage of me… I then am a fault.

*** (2Kings 6:26-to-30) And as the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, saying, Help, my lord, O king!
(2Ki 6:27) And he said, = if Jehovah = does not help you, = from where shall I help you? = Out of the barn-floor, = or out of the winepress? [There had been a 3-year famine in Israel]
(2Ki 6:28) And the king said to her, What ails you? And she said, This woman said to me, Give your son so that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.
(2Ki 6:29) And we boiled my son and ate him. And I said to her on the other day, Give your son so that we may eat him. And she has hidden her son.
(2Ki 6:30) And it happened when the king heard the words of the woman, he tore his clothes. And he passed by on the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth inside on his flesh.

First allow me to say… you are in your present situation, because of some financial decisions you personally have made, either good or bad. You did not wake up one day and find out that all was gone. Do you have a written Budget and can you demonstrate to me… that you have lived on that budget. IF you do not have one, there is a Free One available from the internet link posted. Without a written budget and the ‘Self Discipline’ to stick to that budget, me or anyone else… funding your lack of self control, will not help you in the long run.

http://www.crown.org/  


Furthermore... there has to be a Church in your local area or some other Christian that can help you. Again, what financial decisions that you have made… caused this predicament that you now find yourself in? Before any help can take place, you must identify these… as not to make the same mistakes again.

To those Pastors or Churches… who are asking for funds; How do I know that you obey the Holy Word of God and hold to the Bible as the ‘only authority’ for those that are truly Born Again… by the Holy Spirit of God…? Nowhere on you page do I see a link to a web site, nor do I see any of your Teaching or Beliefs.

http://www.ecfa.org/HomePage.aspx

In the above internet link for the ECFA… you will find their Exacting Criteria… for validation of said ministries. They audit all expenditures for Two Years… and check Budgets, Funding sources and General accounting principles. A ministry that will not submit to their scrutiny and analysis is a good indication of Unreliability and Irresponsibility.

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/03/what-is-gospel.html  


There are many here... both in the United States and in foreign countries, worldwide… that say they Know Jesus… but do not hold to the Authority of the Bible. Do you expect me to fund you or your supposed ministry. There are many preaching a False Gospel, speaking about Jesus and about God… but NOT the Jesus and God of the Bible.

*** (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.

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


Furthermore… Please see this link where George Mueller ran a multi-million dollar ministry, by Prayer alone… asking only God. His philosophy was… “God’s Work = Done God’s Way = By God’s Man = will receive = God’s Supply.” If in fact your ministry is really of God, then it is His responsibility to Provide your funds and resources. IF that is not happening, then perhaps something is wrong… on your side and Not On God’s…? Maybe…? Just Perhaps…?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_M%C3%BCller  


Now what I will do is pray for you… and only IF you cannot get help from anywhere else… allow God to work on my heart… to pray, help and or fund you… Only as I am led by Him… and NOT By Your… Begging…?

Thank you for your time and consideration…
In Christ, Roger.

“臉書及其他 - '乞丐' - 101”...博客。

作為參與者的臉書 ...和其他幾個網站,我看到同行乞的張貼由'同一人的幾個網站。並非所有這樣做,但它已成為一個問題。最近我的一個朋友給我寫一個牧師在約一個第三世界國家,要求提供資金。有的採取這些人反复。我一直要求幫助,但以這種方式作出反應。

Luke 16:11 倘若你们在不义的钱财上不忠心,谁还把那真实的钱财托付你们呢?



朋友您好,

你說,你知道上帝的聖經和基督耶穌是你的救主和主。然而,你發現自己在這樣的金融形勢,你問我的資金。可否請您回答一些問題,我很少有你。如果我讓你...錯誤地利用我...我當時是一個錯誤。

2Ki 6:26 一日,以色列王在城上经过,有一个妇人向他呼叫说:「我主,我王啊!求你帮助。」

2Ki 6:27 王说:「耶和华不帮助你,我从何处帮助你?是从禾场,是从酒 呢?[出現了3年的飢荒在以色列]」

2Ki 6:28 王问妇人说:「你有什麽苦处?」他回答说:「这妇人对我说:『将你的儿子取来,我们今日可以吃,明日可以吃我的儿子。』

2Ki 6:29 我们就煮了我的儿子吃了。次日我对他说:『要将你的儿子取来,我们可以吃。』他却将他的儿子藏起来了。」

2Ki 6:30 王听见妇人的话,就撕裂衣服;(王在城上经过)百姓看见王贴身穿著麻衣。



首先請允許我說 ...你是在你現在的情況,因為一些你個人財務決定作出,無論是好還是壞。你沒有一天醒來發現一切都消失了。你有一個書面的財政預算案,可以證明你對我...你已經住在該預算。要是你沒有,有一個自由的可從互聯網連接上。如果沒有書面預算和'自律'堅持這個預算,我或其他人...你的資金缺乏自我控制,不會幫助你的長遠目標。

http://www.crown.org/

此外,必須有一個教會在當地的區或其他一些基督教,可以幫助你。再是,財務決策,你已經 ...造成這種困境,你現在發現自己嗎?之前,可以進行任何幫助,你必須確定這些 ...為了不再次犯同樣的錯誤。

對那些牧師或教會 ...誰是要求資金;我怎麼知道你服從聖道神和堅守聖經作為唯一的權威'為那些真正重生...由聖靈的神... ?您網頁上任何地方我看到一個鏈接到一個網站,我也不認為有任何您的教學或信仰。

http://www.ecfa.org/HomePage.aspx

在上面的互聯網鏈接了ECFA ...你會發現其嚴格的標準 ...部委審定的說。他們審計的所有支出為 2年...並檢查預算,資金來源和一般會計原則。阿部不會提交他們的審議和分析是一個很好的說明的不可靠和不負責任。

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/03/what-is-gospel.html

2Jn 1:9 凡越过基督的教训、不常守著的,就没有神;常守这教训的,就有父又有子。

2Jn 1:10 若有人到你们那里,不是传这教训,不要接他到家里,也不要问他的安;

2Jn 1:11 因为问他安的,就在他的恶行上有分。



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

此外...請看到這個鏈接,喬治米勒跑了數百萬美元的部,由單 ...只要求祈禱上帝。他的哲學是...“上帝的工作=完成神的路=上帝的人=會收到=神的供應。”其實,如果您的部是真正的上帝,那麼,他有責任提供您的資金和資源。如果這沒有發生,那麼也許是錯誤的東西 ...在你的身邊,而不是上帝的...?也許 ...?只是也許 ...?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_M%C3%BCller

現在我需要做的是為你祈禱 ...且僅當你不能得到幫助從其他地方...讓上帝在我的心...祈禱,幫助和或基金你...只有當我率領他...而不是由你乞討 ... ...?

謝謝您的時間和考慮 ...

在基督裡,羅傑。

恩德..!

“Heaven & Hell – 202” [2/?] Blog.



What about ‘Heaven’… and where is it? That is a question that many have wondered. In this age of today ‘many’… have left their Bibles and believed ‘anything’ they have been taught. Never have so many… not checked the Word to see if, what they were told… were True? Many are falsely led to believe that they will ‘see’ their loved ones and be a family again. Sorry… that is ‘not’ what the Bible teaches. When we see… Jesus… that will be above and better than any earthly relationship could ever be. We have to ‘stop’… and keep our earthly thinking… out of heaven.

*** (Matthew 22:29-30) Jesus answered and said to them, ‘You’ err, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.
(Matthew 22:30) For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in Heaven.

*** (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.

*** (Revelation 21:3-to-6) And I heard a great voice out of Heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they will be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God.
(Rev 21:4) And God will wipe away all tears from their eyes. And there will be no more death, nor mourning, nor crying out, nor will there be any more pain; for the first things passed away.
(Rev 21:5) And He sitting on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said to me, Write, for these words are true and faithful.
(Rev 21:6) And He said to me, It is done. I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who thirsts I will give of the fountain of the Water of Life freely.
Once again… back to the Scriptures. We must ‘adjust’ our thinking processes to… God’s Word Thinking… instead of the way we would like it to be. Christ dealt with the religious of His day… and their Marriage, Husband / Wife… in heaven thinking. He corrected them… with the Scriptures. I do the very same thing to ‘myself’, all the time. Surely it is a lot easier to allow our human life thinking to do the driving… but it will lead us down the… ‘Wrong Road!’
*** (Matthew 7:14) Because narrow is the gate and constricted is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

*** (Philippians 2:5) Have the same [mind] attitude among yourselves that was also in Christ Jesus:

*** (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.

There are descriptions of Heaven… in the book of Revelation. There are also references to heaven in the Gospels and Epistles. If you will take the time, you can search these out for yourself. What I post here about Heaven & Hell is just a cursory listing to get your appetite primed, for the Word of God. Is there someone ‘else’ who saw heaven and what it was like… in the Bible…?

*** (2Corinthains 12:2-3-4) I know a man in Christ. Fourteen years ago-whether in his body or outside of his body, I do not know, but God knows-that man was snatched away to the third heaven.
(2Cor 12:3) I know that this man-whether in his body or outside of his body, I do not know, but God knows-
(2Cor 12:4) was snatched away to Paradise and heard things that cannot be expressed in words, things that no human being has a right even to mention.

Many do not understand… what the Gospel really is. There are so many different Christian denominations that they are confused. All this confusion ends… when ‘ONE’… believes what is written in the Scriptures. Again here in the USA… there are many Cultural Christians… who give Lip Service to God and the Bible. But they hardly if ever… Open and Study… the Bible to hear what God says and not their Church.

*** (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?”

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/03/what-is-gospel.html


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


Those that have only ‘Religion’… are often intimidated when some posts Bible Verses. Instead of checking them out for themselves the often… “Write Off”… the person and what they have to say. One adult skill… of the younger generation; is that they have no depth of thought. Their thinking processes have been affected not only by an inferior education system, but by the entertainment mentality. Many older ones; are simply set in their ways and will not be moved into deeper obedience to the Scriptures or Spiritual Growth.

*** (2Peter 1:2-to-10) Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
(2Pet 1:3) according as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who has called us to glory and virtue,
(2Pet 1:4) through which He has given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, so that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
(2Pet 1:5) But also in this very thing, bringing in all diligence, filling out your faith with virtue, and with virtue, knowledge;
(2Pet 1:6) and with knowledge self-control, and with self-control, patience, and with patience, godliness,
(2Pet 1:7) and with godliness, brotherly kindness, and with brotherly kindness, love.
(2Pet 1:8) For if these things are in you and abound, they make you to be neither idle nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(2Pet 1:9) For he in whom these things are not present is blind and cannot see afar off and has forgotten that he was purged from his sins in the past.
(2Pet 1:10) Therefore, brothers, rather be diligent to make your calling and election sure, for if you do these things, you shall never fall.

What do these Bible verses… sound like… Stagnation or Spiritual Growth..? But of course… Spiritual Growth! You have been a Christian for “____” [enter an amount] Years…? You say you Love Jesus… Yes? Well Christ Jesus is the Living Word. How well do you know His written Word? Do you know it well enough… to defend JESUS… with His Holy Word? If Not… why Not? Is heaven your destination… or are you bound for the Lake of Fire? And are you… “Completely Sure” about That…? IF Jesus asked… could You show His… in His Word… where He has promised you… Heaven and… Why…?

*** (2Peter 3:15-to-18) 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.
(2Pet 3:17) And so, dear friends, since you already know these things, continually be on your guard not to be carried away by the deception of lawless people, lest you fall from your secure position.
(2Pet 3:18) Instead, continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Glory belongs to him both now and on that eternal day! Amen.

*** (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.

Continued next part…!
*******
*** (Psalms 138:2) I will worship = toward Your holy temple, = and = praise Your Name = for Your loving-kindness = and = for “Your Truth's” sake; = for You [God] = have magnified = = = “Your Word” = = = ‘Above All’ = Your Name. = [Psalms 119:18 & 1Samuel 3:21 & Deuteronomy 29:29]

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


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

“Heaven & Hell -101” [1/?] Blog.

“Heaven & Hell -101” [1/?] Blog.



“IF” you believe in ‘Heaven’… “Then” you must believe in ‘Hell!’ Many seem not to realize that Hell is only a temporary place and not an eternal one. Actually the “Eternal Lake of Fire” is the end or all who reject God’s precious gift of Salvation, by the finished work of Christ Jesus. Before discussion Heaven, perhaps a look at Hell and what is was for and how it is used. This is an intense study, may I ask that you take your Bibles and follow along in the Scriptures.

*** (Matthew 24:35-36) The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away.
(Matt 24:36) But of that day and hour no one knows, no, not the angels of Heaven, but only My Father.

*** (Romans 5:12) Therefore, even as through one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin, and so death passed on all men inasmuch as all sinned:

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


There is an ‘Unseen World’… to the human creation of God, which mankind is not privy to. Many do not realize this… but focus on the temporal world and all its trappings. But there are forces of ‘good & evil’ working which we cannot see with our human eyes. The Bible calls them, thrones, dominions, principalities and powers. It speaks about this ‘unseen world’ in several places so that we may understand. Remember you have an… “Appointment with Death!”

*** (Luke 24:15-16) And while they talked and reasoned, it happened that Jesus Himself drew near and went with them.
(Luke 24:16) But their eyes were held so that they ‘could not’ know Him.

*** (John 20:14-15) And when she had said this, she turned backward and saw Jesus standing, but she ‘did not know’ that it was Jesus.
(John 20:15) Jesus said to her, Woman, why do you weep? Whom do you seek? Supposing Him to be the gardener, she said to Him, Sir, if you have carried Him away from here, tell me where you have laid Him and I will take Him away.

*** (2Kings 6:15-19-17) And the servant of the man of God arose early and went out. And, behold, an army surrounded the city, and horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, Alas, my master! What shall we do?
(2Kin 6:16) And he answered, Do not fear, for those with us are more than those with them.
(2Kin 6:17) And Elisha prayed and said, I pray You, Jehovah, ‘open his eyes’ so that he may see. And Jehovah opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

Many times… those that are ‘Not Born Again’ by the Holy Spirit of God, are confused by the Bible. They are in spiritual darkness and cannot see or know the light of the Holy Word of God. The contradiction[s] is not in the Bible… but in the ‘hearts and minds’ of mankind. This fallen world, lost by rebellion and disobedience to God, is under then ‘limited control’ of Satan. God, the God of the Bible is calling out to all mankind… “To Repent [Acts 17:30-31]”…but rejected by most.

*** (Luke 4:6-7-8) And the Devil said to Him [Jesus], All this power I will give you, and the glory of them; for it has been ‘delivered’ to me. And I ‘give it’ to whomever I will.
(Luke 4:7) Therefore if you will worship me, all shall be yours.
(Luke 4:8) And Jesus answered and said to him, Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, "You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve."

*** (2Corinthians 4:3-4) So if our gospel is ‘veiled’, it is veiled to those who are dying.
(2Cor 4:4) In their case, the god of this world has ‘blinded the minds’ of those who do not believe to keep them from ‘seeing the light’ of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God.

*** (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.
(John 3:20) For everyone who does evil ‘hates’ the Light, and ‘does not’ come to the Light, ‘lest’ his deeds should be exposed.
(John 3:21) But he who practices ‘truth’ comes to the Light so that his works may be revealed, that they exist, having been worked in God.

When someone dies… their body returns to dust… but their Soul goes to ‘one’ of two places. For the ‘True Believer’ they go to be with Jesus. Their spirit is with Him, till the resurrection; but to those that have ‘rejected Him’… they go to a place of torment, called “Hell”. It is ‘Only by Choice’… that one goes there. It was not originally intended for mankind. But it is as it is, as it is written… in the Scriptures. The “Word Picture” of Hell is quite revealing in the Bible.

*** (2Corinthians 5:8) then we are confident and we are pleased rather to go away from home out of the body, = and to come home to the Lord.

*** (Acts 7:55-56) But 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.
(Acts 7:56) And he said, Behold, I see Heaven opened and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God.

*** (Luke 16:19-to-31) There was a certain rich man who was customarily clothed in purple and fine linen and making merry in luxury every day.
(Luke 16:20) And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate, full of sores
(Luke 16:21) and desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table. But even the dogs came and licked his sores.
(Luke 16:22) And it happened that the beggar died and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich one also died and was buried.
(Luke 16:23) And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
(Luke 16:24) And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am tormented in this flame.
(Luke 16:25) But Abraham said, Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now he is comforted and you are tormented.
(Luke 16:26) And besides all this, there is a great chasm fixed between you and us; so that they desiring to pass from here to you cannot, nor can they pass over to us from there.
(Luke 16:27) And he said, I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house,
(Luke 16:28) for I have five brothers, so that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
(Luke 16:29) Abraham said to him, They have Moses and the Prophets, let them hear them.
(Luke 16:30) And he said, No, father Abraham, but if one should go to them from the dead, they would repent.
(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.

Christ Jesus told this “True Story”… it is ‘not’ a parable. Nowhere in the Bible will you find a parable… with a ‘Proper Names’ = “Abraham & Moses!” Bible parables go like this; ‘a certain man’ [22 references]; ‘a merchant’ [Matt 13:45]; a ‘sower’ [Luke 8:5] and the like. “None” of them mention a ‘Proper Name[s]!’ This ‘true story’ by Christ Jesus… gives us further insight into what happens when one dies. Within the ‘Old Testament’ economy by faith… “Believers”… before the resurrection of Christ… went to ‘Abraham’s bosom’… a place of rest. Sinners went to a place of torment.

*** (Matthew 27:50-to-53) Then Jesus cried out with a loud voice again and gave up his spirit.
(Matt 27:51) Suddenly the curtain in the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom, the earth shook, the rocks were split open,
(Matt 27:52) the tombs were opened, = and the bodies = of many saints = who had died = were raised.
(Matt 27:53) After his resurrection, they came out of their tombs = and went into the Holy City and = appeared to ‘many’ people.

*** (Ephesians 4:8-9-10) That is why God says, "When he went up to the highest place he led captives into captivity and gave gifts to people."
(Eph 4:9) Now what does this "he went up" mean except that he also had gone down into the lower parts of the earth?
(Eph 4:10) The one who went down is the same one who went up above all the heavens so that he might fill everything.

*** (Isaiah 5:14) So hell has enlarged itself, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory, and their multitude, and their pride, and he who rejoices in her, shall go down into it.

*** (Mark 9:43-44) And if your hand offends you, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed than to have two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched
(Mark 9:44-46-46[3X]) where their worm dies ‘not’, and the fire is ‘not’ quenched. [3X]

After the resurrection… of the Christ Jesus and His presentation before the Father… John 20:17… the spirits of the OT Saints… are now with Jesus in heaven. His resurrection showed His power over ‘Death & Hell’. The NT saints… when they have died… their spirits go to be with Jesus and their bodies along with the bodies if the “Unjust”… have returned to the earth. Waiting for the Resurrection of the “Just & the Unjust”… who will receive the results of their ‘works’ and ‘rejection’ of Christ Jesus, Lord of Lords, King of Kings!

*** (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 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.

*** (1Peter 4:17-18-19) For the time has come for the judgment to begin from the house of God. And if it first begins from us, what will be the end of those disobeying the gospel of God?
(1Pet 4:18) And if the righteous one is scarcely saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
(1Pet 4:19) Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing, as to a faithful Creator.

“Out of Context – 303” [3 of 3] …Blog.

“Out of Context – 303” [3 of 3] …Blog.



“Obedience”… to the ‘revealed’ Holy Word of God, is the “Key!” Here in America a land of plenty; it cost little to follow Christ. In some ‘European’ and ‘Middle Eastern’ countries; often times a funeral by one’s family is celebrated = after you are kicked out. The cost of Following and Obeying Christ and ‘His Word’; is only realized by the “Real = Disciple of Christ”. Many who claim to follow Jesus… only give Him… ‘Lip service’ and their ‘hearts’ are not right by Obedience.

*** (Luke 14:26-27) If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.
(Luke 14:27) And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me, he cannot be My disciple.

http://www.jesus.org.uk/vault/library/foxes_book_of_martyrs.pdf

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnOrHroMF5I


Do you realize… your 'Excuse' for… ‘Not Obeying’ the Word of God is to simply say… “You are using that verse, ‘Out of Context’.” Remember in the start of this discussion, the statement was made… “We live by Appling the Word of God!” We do not live by bread alone… ‘but by every’… Word of God = “Matt 4:4 & Luke 4:4.” They are the ‘Principles Applied’… to know how to “Live Righteously”… before a ‘dying world’ that does not want to hear… “God’s Holy Word!”

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


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


Quite some time ago… I read for the first time… “2Chronicles 12:14”… and was visible shaken. God calls it “SIN” because I did not prepare my heart! My complete outlook of Study of the Word, Prayer and other ‘Spiritual Exercises’ was changed. Unless my heart is right… just perhaps is why… I was not hearing God, when He speaks to anyone, through His Word. The ‘heart of man’ is where “Life and Obedience” comes from. Surely you slow down driving when you see a cop or speed trap. But you drive the ‘Speed Limit’… “All the time”… when your ‘Heart is Right’ with Jesus!

*** (Mark 7:6-to-9) 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.
(Mar 7:7) However, they worship Me 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 dipping 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?

There was a posting… about a Christian who was engaged to a ‘Non Christian’. That is probably a very hard decision to make. The emotions of ‘love & affection’ or even the ‘sexual bondage’ if one has pre-marital relations; can hinder one from the right decision. But Obedience to the Word of God… for the True Believer… is and can be one of eternal rewards or loss thereof. It does cost to follow Christ and His Word… but the ‘peace’ is worth it all!

*** (Isaiah 32:17) And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the service of righteousness shall be quietness and hope forever.

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

*** (1Timothy 5:24-25) Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment. And some they also follow after.
(1Tim 5:25) Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand, and those who are otherwise cannot be hidden.

Do you realize… that the Holy Word of God is ‘not only’ given to us for Instruction, for Learning, for Direction… but to “Test Us?” Over and over again, God sent His prophets and men of God to remind His people of what He had told them. Again and again they would not listen and were often punished for their disobedience. Sometimes they listened but often not they rejected correction and were destroyed. Take the time and read… “1Kings 13:All”… and see what decision the man of God made, both good and bad! It is one of my favorite chapters on obecience.

*** (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.

*** (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.

*** (1Samuel 15:22-23) And Samuel said, Does Jehovah delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of Jehovah? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice! To listen is better than the fat of rams!
(1Sam 15:23) For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idol-worship. Because you have rejected the Word of Jehovah, He has also rejected you from being king!

One ‘cannot’ grow Spiritually… until they ‘learn first’; to Obey the Word of God! The Treasure of the Knowledge of God and the Truth in His Holy Word… will not be available for the ‘Rebellious & Disobedient”. God, the God of the Bible is “Not”… ‘Santa Clause!’ Yes many of the ‘phony preaches’ tell all sorts of Lies about Him and what His Word says. They are no different than those Old Testament False Prophets… who led Israel astray! That is why it is so very important for “YOU” to know… Exactly what God Himself… “Says in His Word!”

*** (1Kings 22:20-to-23) And Jehovah said, Who shall entice Ahab that he may go up and fall at Ramoth in Gilead? And one said this way, and another said that way.
(1Kin 22:21) And there came forth a spirit and stood before Jehovah and said, I will entice him.
(1Kin 22:22) And Jehovah said to him, With what? And he said, I will go forth and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And He said, You shall entice him and succeed also. Go forth and do so.
(1Kin 22:23) And now, behold, Jehovah has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets, and Jehovah has spoken evil concerning you.

*** (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.

*** (2Corithians 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.

It is up to… “You!” No one can make the choice for you. Your free will allows you to make choices. Sometimes you may think that there are too many choices. “The Good, the bad and the UGLY?” But there is only “One Choice”… and that is to Obey The Word of God. “But I don’t’ know what the Word says…?” Here is the real question… IF you knew, would you ‘Obey’ it? God has given His Holy Spirit… to every real believer. He is within us to Teach Us. But you have to allow Him. Simply reread these verses and see?

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/03/only-two-choices-101blog.html


*** (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, 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 said that He will take of Mine and will announce it to you.

*** (Matthew 11:27-to-30) All things are delivered to Me by My Father. And no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son will reveal Him.
(Matt 11:28) Come to Me all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
(Matt 11:29) Take My yoke on you and learn of Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you shall find rest to your souls.
(Matt 11:30) For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.

*** (Romans 6:16-17-18) Do you not know that to whom you yield yourselves as slaves for obedience, you are slaves to him whom you obey; whether it is of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness.
(Rom 6:17) But thanks be to our God that you were the slaves of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered.
(Rom 6:18) Then being made free from sin, you became the slaves of righteousness.

*** (James 1:22) Keep on being doers of the Word, and Not Merely Hearers who ‘Deceive’ themselves.


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

“Out of Context – 101” [2 of ?] …Blog.

“Out of Context – 101” [2 of ?] …Blog.



Once again the Bible… the Holy Word of God is a… “Life Application”… book and not a book of answers… but of the “Principles of Spiritual and temporal life”. A particular ‘verse’ may have one or more interpretations, “in its context”… but have ‘many’ applications. Truth is often interpreted by one’s level of Spiritual Growth and Understanding. There are several principles of understanding Biblical Truth, some are strictly language based and some are by… “Spiritual Understanding” given by the Holy Spirit.

*** (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 Word of Righteousness.
(Heb 5:14) But solid food is for mature people, even those who because of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

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


Just as a baby… lives and grows on milk, so too when one is Born Again, by the Holy Spirit of God, they are ‘supposed’ to grow “Spiritually”. Many simply refuse to… ‘Grow Up!’ One only has to read the books of “1 & 2 Corinthians” in the NT or even “Exodus & Deuteronomy” in the OT… to see an example of “Spiritual Immaturity”. Then there are the Technical Aspects of the Holy Word of God. In the above blog link, there is a discussion about this topic. In short the “OT Hebrew & the NT Greek” were translated into English, some are good while others miss the mark.

*** (1Corinthians 2:10-to-14) 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.
(1Cor 2:13) These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
(1Cor 2:14) But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

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

*** (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.

God's Spiritual Truth… revealed to the Born Again believer… comes from God, through His Holy Spirit. That is one of the reasons ‘why’ we are given the Holy Spirit, to “Teach us the ‘Truth’ of God!” This “Spiritual Truth” is then compared with other “Spiritual Truths”… as building blocks of our “Faith & Spiritual Understanding”. We are ‘all’ growing at different Spiritual rates and are going through different levels of ‘Spiritual Maturity’. But that forward growth; does not mean that we will ‘not’ sometimes… “Slide Backwards” in our Spiritual maturity and understanding. “One often has to ‘Unlearn’… so that they might Grow Spiritually”

*** (Psalms 36:9) For with You [Lord] is the fountain of life; in Your light we shall see light.

*** (Proverbs 9:9-10) Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
(Pro 9:10) The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

*** (Revelation 2:4-5) Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
(Rev 2:5) Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

Take some time… and do a ‘study’ of the Believers in the “Seven Churches” of Revelation, chapters two & three. Churches are made up of ‘Believers’ at different levels of “Spiritual Maturity & Growth”. The Word simply points out what God says about “Right & Wrong!” It is no different; for the believers of today. One could say that the… “Looking Glass” of Scripture… gives us “Wisdom & Understanding” on Spiritual Conditions. This is dependent on “How” the believer… is a “Stewart” [manager]… of the Grace of God.

*** (1Corinthians 15:10) But by the grace of God = I am what I am, = and His grace which was toward me = has not been without fruit, = but I labored more abundantly than all of them; = yet not I, = but the grace of God with me.

*** (2Corinthians 3:5) not that we are sufficient of ourselves = to think anything as of ourselves, = but our sufficiency is of God;

*** (1Corinthians 11:30-31-32) That's why so many of you = are weak and sick = and a considerable number are = dying.
(1Cor 11:31) But if we judged ourselves = correctly, = we would not be judged.
(1Cor 11:32) Now, while we are being judged = by the Lord, = we are being disciplined = lest we be condemned = along with the world.

Have you ever watched… the game show Jeopardy on TV? It a competition game show of ‘Who’ has the right answer, “First!” There have only been a few… “Undefeated Champions”. They appeared to ‘know’ all the right answers. But here is the press… “Knowing & Doing”… are two different things, with Spiritual Truth. The ‘Bad Examples’ are Balaam in the OT and Demas in the NT. Each sold out their souls… for earthly gain. “Judas” is an ever present example to us… of one… who ‘claimed’ to be a disciple. There are Many here in America… ‘Claiming’ to be Christians… and… ‘Claiming’ to share the Gospel. But with Many… it is ‘not’… True!

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


http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/03/what-is-gospel.html


*** (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.

About now… one can see that there are “Many False Christians”. I ‘cannot’ see their heart, or even know “IF” they are truly born again. All I can do… is to see if they… “Believe & Live”… the Holy Word of God, “The Bible?” “IF” they do not believe God’s Word… and hold to Other Teachings… “THEN”… I cannot in good conscience call them ‘Christians’ = no matter what they call themselves. I am thinking about in particular the ‘wives’… of two of the “Past Presidents”, who said they were Christian. One of the wives said she supported “Abortion”… and the other did not want to deal with the Truth about the “Homosexual” agenda. [Romans Chapter – One: all]. Before you say ‘I am judging’… simply read the blog listed below.

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


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

*** (Exodus 20:13) You shall not murder innocent life.

*** (Leviticus 18:22-to-25) You shall not lie with mankind as with womankind. It is abomination to God.
(Lev 18:23) And you shall not lie with any animal to defile yourself with it. And a woman shall not stand before an animal to lie down to it. It is a perversion.
(Lev 18:24) Do not defile yourselves in any of these things. For in all these the nations are defiled, which I cast out before you.
(Lev 18:25) And the land is defiled. Therefore I visit its wickedness on it, and the land itself vomits out those who live in it.

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

Now can you… say there is another interpretation for these verses? Will you say that I took them… ‘Out of Context’… to make my point to Test the beliefs of one calling themselves… “Christian?” “Plain and Simple”… God, the God of the Bible… ‘Calls Sin’… Exactly what it is… “SIN!” What if someone says it is really ‘Not’… but a personal preference? Well it’s a woman’s choice and it is her body or… so long as they are not hurting anyone, its ok? No it is NOT… because God said it is… NOT!

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


*** (Numbers 23:19) God is not a man that He should lie, neither the son of man that He should repent. Has He said, and shall He not do it? Or has He spoken, and shall He not make it good?

*** (Malachi 3:6) For I am Jehovah, I change not. Because of this you sons of Jacob are not destroyed.

*** (Hebrews 13:8) Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.

Who is it… that will call the correct interpretation of a Bible Verse? Who is it that will say that the verse is in context or out of context? There will be no excuses or no reasons why one… did not believe the Holy Word of God. May today ‘Excuse Away’… “ANY Bible Verse”… that convicts them of “Sin/Sins”. Do you suppose these… “Many”… that Christ Jesus spoke about will try and do that very thing?

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

*******
*** (Psalms 138:2) I will worship = toward Your holy temple, = and = praise Your Name = for Your loving-kindness = and = for “Your Truth's” sake; = for You [God] = have magnified = = = “Your Word” = = = ‘Above All’ = Your Name. = [Psalms 119:18 & 1Samuel 3:21 & Deuteronomy 29:29]

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


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