“The ‘Other’ Sheep – 101” …Blog.
*** (John
10:14-to-18) I [Jesus] am the Good Shepherd; and I know those that are Mine; and I am known by those –> who are Mine.
(John 10:15) Even as the Father [God] knows Me [Jesus]; I also know
the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep.
(John 10:16) And I have “Other
Sheep” –> who are ‘not’ of this fold. I must also lead those; and they
shall hear My voice: –> and there
shall be one flock: one Shepherd.
(John 10:17) Therefore My Father [God] loves Me [Jesus]: –> because I lay down My life –> so that I might take it again.
(John 10:18) No one takes it from Me [Jesus]: –> but I lay it down
from Myself. I have authority to lay it down: –> and I have authority: –>
to take it again. I have received this commandment from My Father [God].
*** (John
6:44) No one can come to Me [Jesus];
unless the Father [God]; Who has sent Me –>
draw [compel] him: –> and I will
raise him up at the last day.
*** (John
6:65-66) And He [Jesus] said, Because of this I said to you: –> that no one can come to Me: –>
unless it was given to him [Repentance] –>
from My Father. [2Tomothy 2:25-26]
(John 6:66) From this time
many of His –> ‘disciples’ went
back into the things behind: –>
and walked ‘no more’ with Him [Jesus].
Can ‘You’
identify those who… truly belong to Christ Jesus…? No, I did not ask
those, who ‘claimed’ to be Christian. Right away, someone will say… “By their
Love!” Really…? “Define Love”…? Many claim to ‘Love Jesus’… and yet: “Hardly
Ever” -> “Read & Study”… His Holy
Word! Simple Solution…? If ‘You’ truly love: Christ Jesus… then ‘You’ will
truly love… His Holy Word! Why…? Simply because He, Christ Jesus… is the Word
Incarnate! He is the Word made Flesh! He, is the Living Holy Word of God…! Say
it isn’t “So”…? Can one: love His Holy Word… and then: “Not Obey”… His Holy
Word…? Absolutely “NOT”…! May I simply ask again…? Can ‘You’ identify those
who… truly belong to Christ Jesus…?
*** (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.
“Who
is = The Word – 101?”…Blog.
Did
‘You’ know: in the Hebrew OT… that most of the times: the English is translated
to LORD… but it is the Hebrew Name for: GOD –> “Jehovah”…?
*** (John 17:17) Sanctify
them through Your Truth. Your Word is Truth.
*** (Jeremiah 23:29) Is
not My Word like a fire? Says the LORD Jehovah; and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?
*** (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 [The Holy Word of GOD].
*** (Micah 6:8) He has shown you; O man, what is good. And what does the Lord
require of you; but to do justice; and to love mercy; and to walk humbly ‘with’
your God?
*** (Jeremiah
48:10) Cursed is he who does the work of the LORD
Jehovah deceitfully; and cursed is
he: –> who keeps back his sword from blood [judgment].

“Is Christian ‘Obedience’… Optional? – 101”…Blog.
Who then are,
the… “Other Sheep”…? It is those who have not yet; come to Christ
Jesus as their: “Savior & Lord”. Does God know those who are His…?
Absolutely “YES”…! Even though, they have not yet: come to Him. Remember the
Scriptures…? Saul persecuted the True Believers… even to death! After his
conversion, he became Paul… who wrote much of the NT! On the other hand: Judas
walked with Christ Jesus and the ‘Other Disciples!’ He even performed ‘Miracles
& Healings!’ Any yet… he betrayed Christ Jesus… to his own “Damnation!”
Anytime during the three year ministry of Christ… Judas could be identified as
a His disciple. But things “Do Not” always appear… as they seem… do they? So today,
some who are today “Gross Sinners” may come to Christ as some of His… “Other
Sheep!” Even those who are “Radical Muslims”… may be some of the “Other Sheep!”
That is why we are “Commanded to: –> ‘Preach’ the Word!” –> and “Not
preach Christianity!”
*** (2Timothy 4:2-to-5) Preach the Word: be Instant: in season
and out of season: Reprove; Rebuke; Exhort –> with all long-suffering and
doctrine.
(2Ti 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.
(2Ti 4:4) And
they will “Turn Away” their
ears: –> from the Truth: –> and will be turned to myths. [fables]
(2Ti 4:5) But
you watch in all things; endure afflictions; do the work of an evangelist; fully carry out your ministry.
*** (2Corinthians
4:7) But we have this Treasure [Romans 8:9] in earthen [our human bodies]
vessels; that the excellency of the [His Holy Spirit] Power; may be of God; and
–> ‘Not’ of us.
“What
are the ‘Greater Works’ – 101” …Blog.
…
*** (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.
*** (1Corinthains 6:9-10-11) You know that wicked people: will ‘Not’
inherit the kingdom of God, don't you? Stop deceiving yourselves! Sexually
immoral people: idolaters: adulterers: male prostitutes: homosexuals:
(1Cor 6:10) thieves:
greedy people: drunks: slanderers: and robbers: –> will ‘Not’ inherit the kingdom of God.
(1Cor 6:11) That is what some of you –> “WERE!”
But you were: –>Washed: you were Sanctified: you were Justified: –> in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ; and in the Spirit of our God. [Romans 8:9]
***
(1Corinthains 5:11-12-13) But now I am writing to you to: –> “Stop Associating”: –> with any
so-called Brother [sister]: –> if he [she] is sexually immoral, greedy,
an idolater, a slanderer, a drunk, or a robber. With such a person you must
even: –> stop eating. [fellowship]
(1Cor 5:12) After all, is it my business to judge outsiders? You are
to judge those who are inside, aren't you?
(1Cor 5:13)
God will judge outsiders. "Put that wicked man away from you."
*** (Jeremiah 48:10) Cursed is he who does the work of Jehovah
the LORD deceitfully; and cursed is
he who keeps back his sword from blood.
*** (Matthew 21:28-to-31) But what do you think? A man had two
sons. He went to the first and said, 'Son, go and work in the vineyard today.'
(Matt 21:29)
His son replied, 'I don't want to,' but later –> he changed his mind and went.
(Matt 21:30)
Then the father went to the other son and told him the same thing. He replied,
'I will, sir,' –> but he didn't
go.
(Matt 21:31)
Which of the two did the father's will? They answered, "The first."
Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you, tax collectors and prostitutes will
get into God's kingdom –> ahead of you.
“Is
the Gospel = Magic? – 101” …Blog.
…
What is the Gospel…? Is it just believing in Jesus… that He
died for SIN/SINS…? Do ‘You’ know, that Christ Jesus said what it was… “John 7:38-39”…! He qualified: the “True
Belief” in Himself: for salvation! Today many believe in Jesus… but “Not: –>
to Eternal Salvation!” Their belief on Him… is as their Belief in… “God Bless
America, Land that I Love!” Their belief in Him is as is ‘Printed’ on our
money… “In God we Trust!” It is “Not” a true Biblical belief… but the one of
our “Cultural Christianity”… such as ‘Christmas & Easter!’ When was the
last time ‘You’ heard a Christian speak about… “Repentance?” Did ‘You’ miss
what Christ Jesus said… in the above Bible verses, “Luke 24:47”…? How about
what God Commanded… “All Mankind”… in ‘Acts 17:30-31’…? Was it a Command to: –>
“Belief –or– Repent”…? May I please: ask again… do ‘You’ love the Holy Word of
God… as much as ‘You’ say… “You Love Jesus”…?
“Do
‘YOU’ = Love ‘Jesus’ – 101” …Blog.
*** (Mark 1:35) And in the morning, rising up a great
while before day, HE [Jesus] went out, and departed into a solitary place:
–> and there prayed. [Worshiped]
*** (1Samuel 3:21) And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh:
for the LORD: –> revealed Himself to Samuel: in Shiloh: –> by the Word of
the LORD.
*** (Luke
3:8) Therefore, bring forth fruits worthy of repentance; and do not begin
to say within yourselves; We have Abraham for our father. For I [Jesus] say to you; that God is able to raise
up children to Abraham: –> from
these stones.

*** (Titus 1:15-16) To the pure all things are pure. But to those who are
defiled and unbelieving nothing is
pure, but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
(Tit 1:16) They
profess that they know God; but in their
works they deny Him; being
abominable: and disobedient: and reprobate to every good work.
*** (2Corinthians
10:12) We would not dare put ourselves in the same class with: –> or compare ourselves: –> to those who recommend
themselves. When they: –> measure
themselves by themselves: –> and
compare themselves to themselves: –>
they show how ‘foolish’ they are.

in Christ, Roger // “Psalms 138:2”…!
