“Christmas Celebrations & the ‘Salvation
Message’ – 101” …Blog.
*** (Luke 2:8-to-12) And in the
same country there were shepherds
LIVING IN THE FIELD,
keeping watch over
their flock by night.
(Luke2:9) And lo, the angel of the Lord came on them, and the glory of the
Lord shone around them. And they
were grievously afraid.
(Luke 2:10) And the angel said to them, Do not
fear. For behold, I give to you good tidings of
great joy, which shall be to all people.
(Luke 2:11) For to you is born today, in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. [Isaiah 9:6-7-8]
(Luke 2:12) And this is a sign to you. You will find the babe
wrapped, lying in a manger.
Did You notice the Picture for this
Blog…? “Snow” in
Jerusalem in December?
Surely after reading… “Luke 2:8”…. You can’t really believe that Christ was born on December 25…? “Hark the Harold Angels Sing” goes one Christmas Carol…. But “NO Where” in the Bible does it say…. “Angels Sing”…? Surely we MUST use the Scripture and… “NOT” Tradition…! I believe the Christmas Message to be… “REPETANCE”…! [Acts 17:30-30 & 2Peter 3:9 & 1Tim 2:4 & Luke 24:47 & Luke 3:8]

*** (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.
“Christmas:
The Baby Jesus: or ‘Christ as JUDGE’ – 101” …Blog.
All the ‘Varied Responses’ to my Blogs
about “Christmas”…. Got
me “Thinking”…! MOST of America and the rest of the Word: knows about “Christmas!
One Question: to those of You: who are ‘Truly
Born Again’ by the Holy Spirit of God: can You answer this Question…? During
your LIFE TIME…. “Have You ever Heard a Testimony: from someone” WHO has come
to Christ Jesus…. By Hearing the “Christmas
Message”…? Please answer, “Yes or NO”….? Did You read... “Luke 24:44-to-48”… at the beginning of this Blog? What was “COMMANDED” by “Christ Jesus to
be “Preached”…? Simple Answer: “REPENTANCE”…! Not
“Christmas or Easter” [Passover]…. But “REPENTANCE”…!
Where can “REPENTANCE”…. Be found in the ‘Christmas
Message’…? Please “Open your BIBLE”… and share it with: “Me & Others”…? Please…?
*** (Acts
17:11) And these were more noble = than those of Thessalonica, = in that they received = the Word =
with all readiness of mind = and = searched the Scriptures =
“DAILY” = to see if those
things were so [or Not].
*** (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. [Romans
2:28-29 & Romans 9:6 & Galatians
6:16]
“LICENSE: Confession Without REPENTANCE – 101” …Blog.
*** (2Peter 3:15-16) And think of the long-suffering of our
Lord as salvation; as our beloved brother Paul also has written to you;
according to the wisdom given to him.
(2Pet 3:16)
as also in all his letters, = speaking in them of these things; = in which are
some things ‘hard’ to be understood, = which the ‘Unlearned’
and ‘Unstable’ = “Pervert”; = as also they do the rest of the =
“SCRIPTURES” = to their own destruction. [1Corinthains
16:22]
Where is the Command for a: “Belief in
Jesus” or the “Supposed Sinners Prayer”… found as a “Command: in the Scriptures”…?
Do You ever “THINK ABOUT”… Exactly WHAT: You “Share & Preach”…. About the
Salvation Message…? Surely the Gospel is “NOT Magic”….! Surely MOST do “NOT
Speak”… about “Damnation & the Eternal Lake of Fire!” But they will ‘Surely’
share about Heaven and streets of Gold! Something is “NOT Right”…
in the Message given by “American Christianity”…! No wonder, that IN: such an
‘Affluent American Society’…. There is NO Need: for a… “Bible Jesus”….!
“Is
the Gospel = Magic? – 101” …Blog.
*** (Hebrews 9:27) And as it is appointed to men once to
die; but [immediately] after this the judgment, [Luke 16:23]
“The
‘HELL’ about the Lake of Fire – 101” …Blog.
*** (Revelation 20:15) And if anyone was NOT found having been written in the Book of Life, he was cast into the “Lake of Fire”.
*** (2Corinthians 7:10) For having sorrow in
a godly way results in REPENTACE
that leads to Salvation and leaves no regrets.
But the sorrow of the World produces Death.
***
(Hebrews 10:29-30-31) 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.
[Genesis 18:25] [1Peter 4:17-18-19]
***
(Luke 13:1-to-5) And some
were present at the same time reporting to Him [Jesus] of the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with
their sacrifices.
(Luke 13:2) And answering, Jesus said to them, Do you
suppose that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans because they
suffered such things?
(Luke 13:3) I tell you, NO! But
unless you REPENT,
you will ALL: likewise Perish.
(Luke 13:4)
Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were sinners above all men
who lived in Jerusalem?
(Luke 13:5) I tell you, NO! But unless you REPENT, you will ALL: likewise perish.
***
(1Corinthains 16:22) If anyone does Not love the Lord Jesus
Christ; let him be
accursed
[Damned]. The Lord comes! [Again]
Do
you Present an ‘UNBALANCED’ presentation of the GOSPEL...?
*** (Acts
20:27) For I did ‘Not’ keep back; from declaring to you; “ALL” the
counsel of God.
QUESTION: Do You share about God’s Command… “TO: REPENT”… at the
“Christmas Time”…? Or are You FEARFUL: of “Offending Someone”…? Or
could it BE: that You are…. “Truly Ashamed”… of your Testimony for Christ
Jesus…? Even Worse: You have Never Truly Come to Christ Jesus…. “ONLY: [John 7:38-39] on His Terms”…? Have You ‘said & acted’ as
You thought your “Church or Denomination Required”….? Perhaps You are some of
the…. “MANY”… that Christ Jesus spoke about in…. “Matthew 7:21-22-23”…? Remember Christ Jesus Healed 10 Lepers [Luke 17:10-to-17]
and ONLY ONE was a “True Believer”…? And he was only ‘Half Jewish!’ What do You
really Believe about “Christ Jesus”…? Can You open your Bible… and “Defend your Faith” with… “Bible
Chapter & Verse”…? Or do You just have an ‘Opinion’, based on what
Others have “Said?” IF: You were to Die in the next 15 minutes… “Where would
You spend Eternity”…? How do You know ‘That’…?

*** (2Peter 3:9) The
Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but
is longsuffering to us-ward, NOT
willing that ANY should perish, but that ALL should come to REENTANCE.
*** (Acts 17:30-31) And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now [Strictly] Commands ALL men everywhere to REPENT:
(Acts
17:31) Because He hath appointed a day,
in which He will judge the world in righteousness by that man
[Christ Jesus] Whom: He hath ordained; whereof He hath given
assurance unto ALL men; in that He
[God] has raised Him [Jesus] from the dead. [John 10:17-18]
*** (1Timothy 2:4) Who will have All men to be Saved
and to come to the knowledge of the Truth [John 17:17].
*** (2Peter 3:9) The
Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but
is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that ANY should perish, but that ALL should come to REPENTANCE.
*** (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.
Repentance – 101 Blog [1/6]

May I share…? I have a lifetime of
watching Christmas “Movies & Celebrations!” Even though I know better NOW: I still
must… “Check My Emotions”… when watching some of these Christmas Movies! They
were Designed: to “Gender an Emotional Response” and then “Lock You into their
Mindset!” It is the Same for those ‘Jesus Bracelets’…. “WWJD”…? “What Would
Jesus Do”…? QUESTION: “Does
that Pre-Suppose the “Presence”
or the “Absence” [Romans 8:9] of Jesus Christ”… “Within You”…? Emotions are
Tricky and often Used to harm us. A certain funereal director Asked, “Would You
want your Parents: Buried in Anything Less, than the Best”…? My response was,
YES…! My parents were ‘Wise Enough’: “To Elect Cremation”…! The human body
Decays and the Body returns to Dust! How then… is burial in a “$12,000 Walnut
& Brass Hardware Casket”…. Going to Help “Either in Eternity”…? My Father “Rejected
the Bible Jesus”, being a Catholic: but my Mother; I led to Christ: Only Weeks
before passing into Eternity! She called me one night and I went to the Nursing
Rehab Center to share Christ Jesus!

do YOU: ‘Really Know’ about Christmas – 101” …Blog.
*** (1Peter
3:15) but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts,
and be ready Always to
give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason of the Hope in you,
with meekness and fear; [Colossians
1:27 & Ephesians 1:13-14]
*** (Isaiah
8:13) Sanctify the LORD of hosts
Himself; and let him be your Fear, and let HIM be your Dread. [Luke 12:5 & Job
28:28]
*** (Isaiah 26:10) Let favor be shown to
the wicked; ‘Yet’
he will ‘NOT’ learn righteousness; in the land of
uprightness he will deal ‘unjustly’,
and ‘Will Not’ behold the majesty of Jehovah the LORD.
[2Chronicles 19:2]
*** (Jeremiah 13:23) Can the
Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard its spots? Then you also may do
good; WHO are ‘Accustomed’ to: Doing
Evil! [Isaiah 5:20]
***
(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.
***
(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.
***
(2Corinthains 5:19-20-21) For in Christ God;
was reconciling the world [any that would come] to Himself; by not counting
their sins against them through His forgiveness]; and He has committed to us; the message of reconciliation. [in Christ
alone]
(2Co 5:20) Therefore, we are Christ's representatives; as though God
were pleading through us [to You!]. We plead on Christ's behalf: “[You] Be reconciled to God!”
(2Co 5:21) God made the One
[Jesus]; Who did Not know sin; to be sin for us [Christ our Passover]; so that
we might become God's righteousness in Him [Jesus].
