What is the Gospel...?

“The Gospel – 101”…Blog.



HOW… can one suggest we share the Gospel… WHEN… you do ‘not’ identify what the Gospel is…? Many of those… YouTube Videos, I find do NOT give a Clear presentation of the Gospel.

*** (James 3:1) Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more severely.

*** (1Corinthians 14:10) So it may be many kinds of sounds are in the world, and not one is without = a distinct sound. [A ‘Distinct’ Message]

Do you give… a balanced presentation of the Gospel, both the Good News and the Bad News..?

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


Is it the Gospel… of those False Mormons or Jehovah Witnesses… or even the Muslim / Islam… that speak about… Jesus…?

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

Or is it of… the False Christians… who… “DO NOT”… believe in the Complete Authority of the Word of God… and that it is… the Only Authority, for those that Truly Believe…?

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

Or is it… those Pseudo [False] Christians… that preach, Water Baptism of Salvation…?

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/10/water-baptism-salvation-101.html  


Or is it… those that Worship in on the Sabbath… and say that it is the Correct day to Worship…?

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


Or is it… those that say… one has to Speak in Tongues…?

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/08/tongues-nt-church-101blog.html  


Or is it those... that approve Female Pastors…. That the Scripture speaks against…?

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/08/female-pastors-101-blog.html

Or even… those that Preach that ONE… can Lose their Salvation…?

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


Or is it… that say that Jesus is Not God…?

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/04/is-jesus-god-101-trinity-discussion.html  


Need I go on….? The Gospel is Plain and Clear… and ...Validates the Complete Scripture…!

*** (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 behoved 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.

HOW… can one be a Soldier for Christ… without Know the Battle Plan… spoken about in the Complete Word of God…?

*** (2Timothy 2:3-4-5) Therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
(2Ti 2:4) No one who wars tangles with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who chose him to be a soldier.
(2Ti 2:5) And also if anyone competes, he is not crowned unless he competes lawfully.

… And…


*** (Jude 1:3-4) Having made all haste to write to you about the common salvation, beloved, I had need to write to you to exhort you to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints.
(Jud 1:4) For certain men crept in secretly, those having been of old previously written into this condemnation, ungodly ones perverting the grace of our God for unbridled lust, and denying the only Master, God, even our Lord Jesus Christ.
… AND…


*** (Luke 18:8) I say to you that He will avenge them speedily. Yet when the Son of Man comes, = shall He find = [True] FAITH = on the earth?

Perhaps “FIRST”… Prepare as a “Soldier”, and in that learning… be an ‘Effective Communicator’…. Of the Clear Message… of the Gospel…?

Please find two series… about the Word of God… and the Gospel. This should be a beginning point for those that are Really… Soldiers for Christ…?

Eleven Part: “Evangelism – 101”

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/09/evangelism-101-1-of-blog.html


Eight Part: “The Word [Law] of God – 101”


http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/07/law-of-god-101blog.html

“REMEMBER”… there is ‘No Rush’… in the presentation of the Gospel…! God’s time schedule is ‘not’ hurried… by our presentation of the Gospel. Many suffer for years, in false belief in Churches due to Bad Teaching… from the Pulpit and those Denominational teachings that go against the Holy Word of God…!

*** (John 6:37) All that the Father gives Me shall come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will in no way cast out.

*** (John 6:44) No one can come to Me unless the Father who has sent Me draw him, and I will raise him up at the last day.

*** (John 6:63-to-66) It is the Spirit that makes alive, the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit and are life.
(John 6:64) But there are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who is the one betraying Him.
(John 6:65) And He said, Because of this I said to you that no one can come to Me unless it was given to him from My Father.
(John 6:66) From this time many of His disciples went back into the things behind, and walked no more with Him.

*** (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.

LAST but NOT LEAST… Did You pray for Repentance… for that person, before or after you… ‘Shared the Gospel’…? See… “2Timothy 2:25-26 = Acts 17:30-31”!

*****

(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”...!"

“Famine – 101”…Blog.

“Famine – 101”…Blog.

Have you ever… seen pictures of a ‘Famine’ ravaged area, in Africa? Perhaps with the current Earthquake damage in ‘Haiti & Chile’, there too is a ‘Famine’. All of these tragedies result in a ‘Famine’… of those “Necessities of Life!” We have a ‘Famine’ of employment here, which was caused by a ‘Famine’… of sound “Wall Street Practices”, resulting in profits, for a select group. Chile is the fourth largest importer of wine into the USA. Will that cause a wine ‘Famine’, here in the US…? I think not, as other alcohol products will make up the backlog.

*** (Genesis 12:10) And = there was a famine = in the land: = and = Abram went down = into Egypt to sojourn there; = for = the famine = was grievous in the land.

The word ‘Famine’… is used over 100 times in the Bible. We here, have a ‘Famine’ of proper education, both in the secular and the private schools. I remember some years ago, at Annapolis and the Air Force Academies, upper classmen were discharged, for cheating. Only the best of the best, are appointed for openings, there was a ‘Famine’ of honesty. So too here in Florida, several public school teachers were arrested, for sexual battery, with their students. Both teacher and students… have a ‘Famine’ of morals.

*** (Exodus 20:13-to-16) You = shall not = Kill.
(Exodus 20:14) You = shall not = Commit Adultery [Sexual Immorality].
(Exodus 20:15) You = shall not = Steal.
(Exodus 20:16) You = shall not = Bear False Witness = against your neighbor.


These are practiced today… without so much as a Blush. “Hollywood, Cable TV and DVD’s are welcomed into our ‘homes & families’ and have produced a ‘Famine’ of decency. Pornography has made its ‘easy access’ into every area of entertainment and literature, all in the name of what? Surely the next generation will be, more polluted, than the preceding one. How about a, ‘Famine’ for life…? With the killing of Innocent Babies in their mother’s womb, and the euthanasia of the seniors, legalized in Washington and Oregon… “Hardly anyone cares for the Unborn and Dying!”

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


*** (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.


There is a “Famine”… that has lifelong and eternal consequences. It is a ‘Famine’… for the Word of God. Churches and Denominations… have moved away from the Word of God, and ‘substituted’… their teachings, for God’s Truth. In a 2006 study of 10,000 Pastors, Bible school and Seminary professors… “Less than 35%... believed the Truth of the Word of God. What does that mean for the persons receiving the message?” Situational ethics, have replace Truth.

*** (Isaiah 24:2) And = as it is = with the people, = so it shall be = with the priest [pastor]; = as with the servant, = so with the master; = as with the handmaid, = so it is with her mistress; = as with the buyer, = so with the seller; = as with the lender, = so with the borrower; = as with the creditor, = so with the debtor.

Justice is ‘not’… equally proportioned… and the Law is manipulated only for the privileged few. Did, Paris Hilton… serve all her jail sentence? Did OJ Simpson… get away with murder? F Lee Bailey, in one of his speeches, identified five separate legal systems, available for the privileged few. What happened to the “Equal protection under the Law”… of our Constitution…? Foreign Military Combatants… are wrongly afforded Americans’ rights. Is something wrong… or is it just me…? There is a ‘Famine’ for justice.

*** (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.

*** (Judges 21:25) In = those days = there was = no king in Israel. = “Every man” = did = the right = in = his ‘own’ eyes.

God’s Standard… was replaced with ‘Each One’… determining, what was right and what was wrong. They ‘justified’ their actions, much like today. ‘Sounds Like’… “Well, I know it is right, because so ‘many’, are doing it”. Just as the ‘Judas Cow’… leads the pack… into the slaughter house, for meat packing. One leads and the others… follow. Did you ever notice, places of worship are not called, churches, but fellowships, new ways and the list goes on and on. Their ‘Names’ have changed, to validate their own interpretation of… “God’s Truth”… found in the Bible.

*** (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 [hidden] thing, = whether it is = good, = or = whether evil.


When I share… Gods’ Bible Truth… it is often ‘rebutted’, with a differing opinion. The hostility against, the “Truth of God’s Word”… often causes ‘friction’, among those that ‘say’, they are Christians. Some ‘only’ want to hear the… “Love of God”… without the “Judgment of God”. The Bible actually speaks, verse for verse, more about Damnation and Judgment, than about Heaven and Rewards. Does that mean… there is a ‘Famine’ of the Hearing of the Word of God…? Yes!

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


*** (Matthew 23:23) Woe to you, = scribes and Pharisees, = hypocrites! = For you pay tithes = of mint and dill and cumin, = and = you have left ‘undone’ = the weightier matters = of the Law, = judgment, = mercy, = and faith. = You ought to have done these = and = not to leave the other undone.

*** (Luke 11:42) But woe to you, = Pharisees! = For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, = and = pass over = “judgment” = and = the love of God. = You ‘ought’ to have done these, = and = not to leave the other undone.

Did you read, the “Order of Usage”…? ‘Judgment’, was first in both verses and why was that…? After reading “Ecclesiastes 12:13-14”, in the above posting… do you think that it is of a… “Critical Importance”… in the presentation of the Gospel…? How about it today, when was the Last time, you heard a ‘Sermon or Message’… on the “Judgment of God”…? Leaving out His Judgment, makes Him look impotent. Do you not know, that… “All Judgment”… has been given over to ‘Christ Jesus’… and He will simply use… “His Word!”

*** (John 12:47-to-50) And = if any one = hears My Words = and does ‘not’ believe, = I do not judge him [now], = for = I do not come = to judge the world [this time, but the next], = but to = save the world [offer salvation this time].
(John 12:48) He who = rejects Me = and = does ‘not’ receive = My Words = has one = who judges him; = “The Word” = that I have spoken, = the ‘same’ = shall judge him = in the = last day.
(John 12:49) For = I [Jesus] = have not spoken = of Myself, = but = the Father = Who sent Me = gave Me a command, = what I should “say”, = and = what = I should “speak”.
(John 12:50) And = I know = that His command = is life everlasting. = Therefore = “whatever” = I speak, = even as the Father = said to Me, = so I speak.

Wow! Did You ever “Read & Understand”… those verses…? As I read it, all the words that Jesus spoke were ‘not’ His, but God the Father, told Him, what to “Say” and what to “Speak!” When you read those verses, do you get that same meaning? How ‘important’ is, the “Truth of the Word of God”… in the lives of those, who call the “Blessed Name of Christ Jesus”…? Is there a ‘Famine’… for the hearing of Gods’ Word… or not? He came the ‘First’ time as the Savior for all mankind! The next time…He will be… The Judge of All!

*** (1Cointhians 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.

*** (Isaiah 28:13) But = the Word of Jehovah [God] = 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.

*** (Romans 3:18) “There = is no = fear of God = before = their eyes.”

***********


(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]

“Traditions – 101”…Blog.

“Traditions – 101”…Blog.

Do you have any Traditions…? Surely you celebrate ‘Christmas and Birthdays!’ Do you say, “God Bless You”, when someone sneezes? Many of us have traditions, usually handed down by our families. Some peoples have ‘Traditions’, handed down from the Culture of the country, they live in. “Thanksgiving” is celebrated in November in America, but in October, in Canada. Some traditions can be good, and some will hinder our continued development, in ‘one or more’ areas.

*** (Ecclesiastes 9:10) Whatever = your hand = finds to do, = do it with all your might; = for there is no work, = nor plan, = nor knowledge, = nor wisdom, = in the ‘grave’ = where you go [to].

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRdfX7ut8gw 


Many of our Traditions… are of, a national celebration, of a Political or even, of a Religious nature. Many here, celebrate the Holidays and take full advantage of a ‘three day weekend.’ Political rallies are often taken, to extremes, to get the voters to support a particular candidate. In some areas, Religious ‘Traditions’, are celebrated by those who are ‘not’, really believers, just to be a part of the celebration. All of these can have some, beneficial ‘or’ harmful effects, depending on one’s frame of ‘heart’ and ‘mind’.

*** (Matthew 15:3-6) But He [Jesus] = answered = and said to them, = Why do = ‘you’ = also transgress = the “Commandment of God” = by = your “Tradition?”
(Matt 15:4) For God commanded, = saying, = "Honor your father and mother"; = and, = "He = who speaks = ‘evil’ = of father =or mother, = let him = die by death."
(Matt 15:5) But you ‘say’, = Whoever says = to his father or mother, = Whatever you would gain from me, [you cannot have it] = It is a gift = to God;
(Matt 15:6) and = in ‘no’ way = he ‘honors’ = his father or his mother. = And = you ‘voided’ [by practice] = the “Commandment of God” = by = your ‘Tradition’.

“Christ Jesus”, in His day and time… had 'most' of His conflict, with the Jewish Traditionalists. They had substituted the “Commandments of God”… with other ‘Traditions’, which were, in direct opposition… to the Word of God. Even today, Many Churches… do not hold to the “Absolute Authority of the Bible”. Instead they substitute their… ‘Traditions’, Teachings and Church Mandates… before the Word of God. Perhaps a simple example? There are Christian Denominations… which, Preach and Teach and Worship… only on the ‘Sabbath’, instead of Sundays.

*** (Exodus 35:2-3) Six days = shall work be done, = but = on the seventh day = there shall [it] be to you = a holy day, = a Sabbath of rest to Jehovah. = Whoever does = ‘work’ in it = shall be = “put to death”.
(Exodus 35:3) You shall kindle = ‘no fire’ = throughout your living places = upon the Sabbath day.

*** (Acts 1:12) Then they returned = to Jerusalem = from = the mount Of Olive Grove, = which is = a “Sabbath day's journey” = from Jerusalem.

When was the last time… any of today’s ‘Sabbath Keeper’… ever did ‘not cook’, or even restricted their ‘travel’, on the Sabbath Day? Were they “Killed”… as commanded by the Word of God? Instead they decided to… ‘Pick & Chose’… which part of the Word of God, they wanted to use… to validate their religious experience. They are like those, in the above verses, that did ‘not’ take care of their parents, but instead gave their monies, to the Jewish Religious Leaders, who controlled the donations.

*** (Galatians 3:11) But that = ‘no one’ = is justified = by = the Law = in the sight of God = is clear, for, = "The just shall live by faith."

*** (Mark 8:31) And He [Jesus] = began to teach them that = the Son of Man = must suffer = ‘many’ things = and = ‘be rejected’ = by the elders = and = the chief priests = and = scribes, = and = be killed, = and = after three days = “rise again”.

The Truth of Scripture… is simply that, by the ‘Keeping of the Law’, no one is justified. Even by a partial keeping of the ‘Sabbath’. No one can ‘keep’ the whole Law. “Christ Jesus” was ‘resurrected’ on Sunday, the first day of the week and that is why, most worship is, on Sundays. The importance of the “Truth of the Word of God”, is only revealed to those that are… “Truly Born Again”… by the Holy Spirit of God. That is why it is so very important ‘to know & understand’, what the Bible teaches, and ‘Not’ what are the ‘Traditions’, of some Church or Denomination.

*** (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.

*** (Ephesians 5:10) Proving = what is = ‘acceptable’ = to = the Lord.


A Parody…! ‘What do you believe?’ Well, I believe, what my Church believes. ‘Well, what does your Church believe?’ Well, we believe, what our Pastor Believes. And what does your Pastor, believe? He believes, what our Denomination believes. And what does your Denomination, believe? We all believe… the “Same Thing!” Of course, that is ‘Not’ a laughing matter, but it shows the ‘Tradition’ mindset, of most attendees. Seldom do they… ‘Read & Study’… the “Word of God” and validate “Truth”, by what is found in the Bible. That is the very ‘Tradition’, which will lead one, to the lake of fire, and eternal damnation.

*** (Jeremiah 23:29-30) Is not = “My Word” = like a fire? = Says Jehovah [God]; = and = ‘like’ = a hammer = that breaks the rock = in pieces?
(Jer 23:30) So Jehovah says, = Behold, = I am = against the prophets [pastors] = who steal = My Words = each one from his neighbor.

*** (Isaiah 24:2) And = as it is = with the people, = so it shall be = with the priest [pastor]; = as with the servant, = so with the master; = as with the handmaid, = so it is with = her mistress; = as with the buyer, = so with the seller; = as with the lender, = so with the borrower; = as with the creditor, = so with the debtor.

Did you vote for “Change”…? Well you got it, ‘What you Deserved”, in this last election. We now have a “Debt Deficit”… which will mean, a tax increase for you, for your children and for your grandchildren. One that can, ‘never’ be repaid, but will be ‘the death’ of our nation. ‘Good Common Sense and Financial Accountability’… have been replaced, with an “Escalating National Debt” and a transfer of our nations’ wealth, to other countries. Say it isn’t so? We are going down, like the Titanic, and do not even want to know about it. “Tradition”…?

*** (1Corinthians 14:40) Let = ‘all’ things = be done = decently = and = in order.

*** (Luke 6:39) And = He [Jesus] = spoke a parable to them: = Can the blind = lead the blind? = Shall they not = ‘both’ = fall into = the ditch?

So it is… with the “Pastors and Churches”… that will ‘not’… “Hold to the ‘Standard’, of the Holy Word of God!” So too… “The Truth of the Word of God, the Bible”… has been and are being, even now, replaced… ‘By Religious Traditions!’ So many speak about “God’s Love” and how God loves. And yet… “MOST”… ‘do not’ Love… the “Word of God!” Christ Jesus is the Living Word, yet where is your love for HIM…? You say you love Him, yet you do not love Him… enough to, Love His Word…! If you do not love His Word… you do not… love Him!

*** (John 14:23-24) Jesus answered = and = said to him, = ‘If’ = a man loves Me, = he will ‘keep’ = My Word. = And = My Father = will love him, = and = We will come = to him = and make = Our abode = with him.
(John 14:24) He who = does ‘not’ = love Me = does ‘not’ = keep My Words, = and = the Word = which you hear = is not Mine, = but the Father's = Who sent Me.

*** (John 15:10) If ‘you’ = keep = My commandments, [Word] = you shall abide = in My love, = even as = “I” [Jesus] = have ‘kept’ = My Father's commandments [word] = and = abide = in His love.

The Love of God… is the Word of God! The Word of God… is the Love of God! Sorry No, that is ‘not’ double talk, it is fact. Didn’t Jesus say, in these verses… “Love is demonstrated in Obedience? Was Christ ever ‘disobedient’ to His Father? “Absolutely Not!”… Because “True Love” is demonstrated, by Obedience to the Word of God. How can you be Obedient… is you do not know, what the Word of God… say? How does one… Love God… and ‘not’ love His Word…? Have your… “Traditions”… ‘replaced your love’… for the “Word of God?”

*** (John 8:29-to-32) And = He [God] = Who sent Me [Jesus] = is with Me. = The Father = has ‘not’ = left Me alone, = for = “I” = ‘always do’ = those things = which please Him.
(John 8:30) As He [Jesus] = spoke these words, = ‘many’ = believed upon Him.
(John 8:31) Then Jesus = said to the Jews = who ‘believed’ on Him, = “If” you continue = ‘in’ = “My Word”, = you are = My disciples = indeed.
(John 8:32) And you shall = know the “Truth”, = and = the “Truth” = shall ‘make’ = you free.

How about that…? Christ always pleased God, His Father… by doing those things that pleased Him. Simply put… “The Word!” Those that are, His [real] disciples, are those who… ‘Continue in His Word’… because it is “Truth!” It is the “TRUTH”… that will set you free, from your “Traditions!” How long have you known Jesus…? How well, do you know His Word, The Bible…? Knowing Jesus and the Love of God, is demonstrated in you… “Loving, Knowing and Obeying”… His Word.

*** (Matthew 4:4) But He [Jesus] = answered and said, = It is written, = “Man shall ‘not’ = live by bread alone, = but by ‘every’ = “Word” = that proceeds = out of the mouth of God.”

*** (Luke 4:4) And Jesus answered him [Satan], = saying, = It is written that = "man shall ‘not’ live = by bread alone, = but = by ‘every’ = Word of God."

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


*** (John 6:63) It is the Spirit that makes alive, = the flesh profits nothing. = The “Words” = that I speak to you = are spirit and are life.

*** (Hebrews 4:12-13) For = the Word of God = is living = and = powerful = and sharper = than ‘any’ = two-edged sword, = piercing even = to the dividing apart = of = ‘soul and spirit’, = and = of the joints and marrow, = and = is a ‘discerner’ of = the thoughts = and = intents = of the [your] heart.
(Heb 4:13) Neither = is there ‘any’ creature = that is ‘not manifest’ = in His sight, = but = “all things” = are naked and opened = to the eyes of Him [God] = with Whom = we have to do.

*** (1Samuel 3:21) And Jehovah [God] = appeared again in Shiloh. = For Jehovah = “revealed” = Himself = to Samuel = in Shiloh = by = the “Word of Jehovah”.

Your Choice… God revealing Himself to you… through His Word… or you,  keeping your  ‘Tradition’…? Chose for Yourself… “Today!”

“What about” –? – 101 = “Hebrews 6:4-5-6”

“What about” –? – 101 = “Hebrews 6:4-5-6”

Recently someone asked me… about these verses. First, one must understand the “Contiguous Truth” found in God’s Word, the Bible. Unlike a secular text book, God’s Truth in interwoven though out all the different chapters and books. There is no index or appendix to immediately find the Truth about a particular subject. Matter of fact, unless one is Born Again, by the Holy Spirit of God, they ‘cannot’… discern Biblical Truth.

*** (1Corinthians 2:12-to-16) But we = have ‘not’ = received the spirit of the world, = but = the [Holy] 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.
(1Cor 2:15) But he who = is spiritual = judges all things, = yet he himself = is judged by = no one.
(1Cor 2:16) For who has known = the mind of the Lord, = that he may instruct Him? = But we have = the mind of Christ.

A friend of mine… is in Bible College now. She told me that they were studying ‘Doctrine’, and it was somewhat boring. In order for a Christian to know the “Truth of the Word of God”, they must learn it, in their heart ‘first’, and then in the mind. Believing God’s Truth, first by ‘Faith’, will enable one to understand more Truth. These particular verses in Hebrews 6, I struggled with, to understand ‘exactly’ what they meant. Once I understood the Scriptures, which spoke about the “Holy Spirit”, all the pieces of these verses, made sense, in my mind. But ‘only’ after, I believed them, in my heart. Heart First… by Faith… then in my mind.

*** (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?

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

Your desire should be… to know more about God, so that you, may show your love to Him, through your obedience, to His Word. Many live without this obedience to Him, and so are stunted spiritually, in ‘Spiritual Maturation’. In addition, some ‘only’ want to be known as Spiritual, but really have ‘no’ heart care, for God and His Word. A reputation as someone knowledgeable about the Bible, is ‘all’ they care for. They have ‘no’ heart, for the lost and ‘no’ agenda, to help bring others… to their individual level, of ‘Spiritual Maturity’.

*** (Luke 6:26) Woe to you = when ‘all’ men = shall speak well = of you! For so = their fathers = did ‘to’ = the false prophets.

*** (Luke 11:42) But woe to you, = Pharisees! [religious] = For you tithe = mint and rue = and every herb, = and = ‘pass over’ = judgment = and = the love of God. = You = ‘ought to’ = have done these, = and ‘not’ = to leave the other = ‘undone’.

Perhaps ‘if’ you will examine… your reason, to want to know, what the Word of God, means, ‘Then’ you will have some idea of what Obedience, is required by it? If you have a teen, would you… “Teach or Allow”… ‘him or her’… to drive your family vehicle? If they ‘always’ showed irresponsibility, wouldn’t it be ‘foolish’, on your part, to allow them to drive? That is a rhetorical question! I can think of a perfect example of the “Truth of Word of God”. Only when, you hold the Truth of the Word of God… more precious than gold… then you will be ready to understand …“Him” [God] and His Word.

*** (Proverbs 26:12) Do you see = a man wise = in his own eyes? = There is = more hope = for a fool = than for him.

*** (1Corinthians 14:38) But = if any = is ignorant, = let him = be ignorant.

Now perhaps we… should discuss first, “What the Scriptures”… have said, about the Holy Spirit and then, look at those verses in Hebrews? There are many other verses that explain the operation of the Holy Spirit, but these enough to get you started. Once one is ‘Born Again’… by the Holy Spirit of God… they can never… lose their salvation. “Salvation is the Holy Spirit”… living on one! That ‘one time’ action by God, is in response to His calling, prompting and drawing, of the Holy Spirit. Underline these verses in your Bible, or highlight them with a colored marker. See… “John 6:44”

1. The Promise… of the Holy Spirit… John 7:38-39.


2. The Validation… of Salvation… Romans 8:9.


3. The Anointing… of the Holy Spirit… 1John 2:20 & 27, 2Corinthians 1:21.


4. The Sealing… of the Holy Spirit… 2Corintians 1:22, Ephesians 1:13, 4:30.


5. The Earnest… of the Holy Spirit… 2Corinthians 5:5, Ephesians 1:14.


6. The Guidance… of the Holy Spirit… Romans 8:14.


7. The Teaching… of the Holy Spirit… John 16:13-14-15


8. The Testimony… of the Holy Spirit… John 15:26.


9. The Life… of the Holy Spirit… Romans 8:11.


10. The Witness… of the Holy Spirit… Romans 8:16-17,


11. The Borning… of the Holy Spirit… John 3:3-to-8, 1Corinthians 12:13.


12. The Measure… of the Holy Spirit… John 3:34.


13. The Excellency… of the Holy Spirit… 2Corinthians 4:7.


In examining these verses… we will see what it says and what it ‘does not’ say. Some try and make the Bible say, what it does not, in order to validate what their ‘Church Denomination’ teaches or preaches. Many times I have heard people expound that these verses, making that it means that one can lose their Salvation. Once again… “The Bible = ‘interprets’ = the Bible”… not mankind or some Church. Remember that I said… “God’s Truth is first validated”… in your Heart… and then your Mind. Those that try and learn Gods Truth… in their heads, are often confused by Scripture.
*** (Hebrews 6:4-5-6) For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
(Heb 6:5) and have tasted the good Word of God and the powers of the world to come,
(Heb 6:6) and who have fallen away; it is impossible, I say, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify the Son of God afresh to themselves and put Him to an open shame.

What these verses Say…!


Heb 6:4… “For it is Impossible”…


Heb 6:6… “To renew them ‘again’ to Repentance”…

To understand this “Truth”… one must ask themselves, “Where does Repentance”, come from…? The answer if found in these verses, Only from God. Those in the Corinthian Church, were living in sin, even though they knew Christ. They were being proud about Adultery, 1Cor 5. They taking Christian to court before Unbelievers, 1Cor 6. They were made sick and some were dying… 1Cor 11, and the list goes on and on. Even while being Chastened by God, they were still in rebellion. “NONE”… on their Own… “Could Repent”…! They were simply ‘hardened’ by Sin!

*** (2Timothy 2:25-26) in meekness = instructing those = who oppose [Truth], = if perhaps = “God” = will give them = “REPENTANCE” = to the acknowledging = of the Truth,
(2Tim 2:26) and that = they ‘awake’ = out of = the snare of the Devil, = having been = taken captive = by him, = so as to do = the will of him [Satan].

*** (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 [Satan] 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."

*** (1John 5:19) We know = that we are from God = and = that the whole world = lies under = the control = of the “evil one” [Satan].

When Someone… is held in by the power of “Sin/Sins”, by his or her… “Disobedience to the Word of God”, they are trapped. Have you ever heard a ‘Drunk’ or a ‘Drug User’ say… “I can quit, when I want to, it is that I just… don’t want to!” That is why… they cannot bring themselves to “Repentance”. Only God can do that. Sickness and even death, can be part of God’s Chastening, see Hebrews 12:6-to-13. God spanks His real children. He also allows one to return to… eat with the pigs, till they are ready to repent. Like the prodigal son, who finally… came to the end of himself.

Is there an example… in the Scriptures, of a person described in “Hebrews 6:4-5-6”…? Yes, his name is called, “Demas”. Look at these three verses about him. “2Timothy 4:10 – Demas has forsaken me, for the love of this present world. Two 'other' verses speak about him, “Colossians 4:14” and “Philemon 1:24”. He pretended to be a real believer, even involved in ministry. He is the perfect example of those in… “Hebrews 6:4-5-6”.
What these verses, “Do ‘Not’ Say”… Simply look list of… “The 13 workings of the Holy Spirit”… in the above lists. Never do these verses in Hebrews 6… repeat ‘any’ of the attributes in the above list. Perhaps it may be explained, as you probably know, by those that have left the “Faith?” Their “Saving Faith”… was not that of which the Bible speaks about. It was ‘only’… a mental ascent… to the Truth, there was never a work of God, by His Holy Spirit… in their heart. Hence they turned away, as we are told here.

*** (1John 2:19-20-21) They = went ‘out’ = from us, = but = they were ‘not’ = of us; = for if = they were [really] of us, = they would have ‘continued’ = with us. = But they = went ‘out’ = so that = it might be = ‘revealed’ = that they were = ‘not’ all of us.
(1Jn 2:20) But = you have = an anointing = from the Holy One, = and = you know all things.
(1Jn 2:21) I have ‘not’ written to you = because = you ‘do not’ = know the Truth, = but because = you ‘know= it, = and know that = no lie = is of the Truth.

*** (Jude 1:19) These are = those = setting themselves apart, = animal-like ones, = “not” = having the [Holy] Spirit.

These verses describe… those of “Hebrews 6:4-5-6”… perfectly. Not having the Holy Spirit, not knowing the Truth, not having that Anointing, and most of all… not continuing in the True Faith. How many times… does God give ‘repentance’… to the Believer and the Non-Believer…? I do not know, as that is God’s business, and not ours. Although there are verses that He deals with some, different than others. If you will read the Old Testament ‘sacrifices for sin’, the Priests had a greater sacrifice, being spiritual leaders, than the common man. Positions of responsibilities have greater costs.

*** (James 3:1) Not many = of you = should become teachers, = my brothers, = because = you know = that we who teach = will be judged = “more severely”.

*** (Luke 12:48) But he = ‘not’ knowing [ignorance], = and doing things = worthy of stripes, = shall be beaten = with ‘few’ stripes. = For to whomever = ‘much’ is given, = of him = ‘much’ = shall be required. = And to whom men = have committed ‘much’, = of him = they will ask = the ‘more’.

*******************
(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]

“Which ‘JESUS’ – 101”…Blog.

“Which ‘JESUS’ – 101”…Blog.

Did you ‘Know’… that there is ‘more than’, one Jesus, in the Bible…? Open your Bible to “Colossians 4:11” and see that Jesus. If you have read through any of the Old Testament, especially the first five books of Moses, called the Pentateuch, you will see the ‘detail’ there about the instructions from God. The “Specificity of the Word of God”, is ‘Exact’, in its Absolute Truth. No one can ‘imply or mistake’, what God has said. Perhaps in this world and its “Entropy”, the “Real Christian” needs to be… “More Exacting”… in their discussions about Christ Jesus, the Messiah. Hence “Christ”… is the Messianic term, for the “Redeemer of all Mankind!”

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


*** (Matthew 1:23) Behold, = the virgin = shall conceive = in her womb, = and = will bear a son. = And = they will call = “His Name Emmanuel,” = which being interpreted is, = “God” = with us.

*** (Matthew 1:20-21) And = as he = thought upon these things, = behold, = the angel of the Lord = appeared to him = in a dream, = saying, = Joseph, = son of David, = do ‘not’ fear = to take to you Mary = as your wife. = For ‘that’ in her = is fathered = of = the Holy Spirit.
(Matt 1:21) And = she shall bear = a Son, = and = you shall call = “His name = JESUS”: = for He shall save = His people = from their sins.

Have you ever… read through the New Testament… and listed ‘for’ yourself, the names by which “Christ Jesus” is called…? Perhaps if, you will take the time, turn off the TV and your computer; you will have an understanding of this wonderful subject. Simply take a notebook, and start listing those verses for yourself. It won’t happen overnight, but soon you will have a new appreciation of exactly Who… ‘Christ Jesus’ is. Did you notice, in the above Verses… that the Step Father of Christ, was Joseph. So too, we ‘must be’… “Adopted into God’s family”... to become sons & daughters of God!

(Ephesians 1:4-to-8) according as = He [God] = chose us = in Him [Jesus] = before = the foundation of the world, = that we = should be = holy = and = without blame = before Him = in love,
(Eph 1:5) having = predestined us = to the “Adoption” of children = by Jesus Christ = to Himself [God], = according to = the good pleasure = of His will,
(Eph 1:6) to the praise = of the glory = of His grace, = in which = He = has made us = ‘accepted’ = in the One [Jesus] having been loved.
(Eph 1:7) In Him [Christ] = we have redemption = “Through His blood”, = the forgiveness of sins, = according to = the riches of His grace,
(Eph 1:8) which = He = caused to abound = toward us = in all wisdom = and understanding;

How very Precious… the cost of ‘our’ redemption. As an unworthy sinner, simply redeemed, by the Mercy of God, in the… “Death, Burial and Resurrection”… of our Redeemer, “Christ Jesus”. It is by His Grace and Goodness to us, and ‘not’ by any works of our own. Not even the Old Testament Jew… could have this assurance. He had to ‘continually’ have the sacrifices for their, “Sin/Sins”. The ‘smell’ of some sacrifice, was always… pungent… in the atmosphere. Every time I drive past ‘Burger King’ a smell the ‘flame broiled’ burgers, I remember these thoughts, of what it must have been like.

*** (Hebrews 10:10-to-14) By this will = we are ‘sanctified’ = through = ‘the offering’ = of the body = of Jesus Christ = “Once for All”.
(Heb 10:11) And indeed = every priest = stands ‘daily’ = ministering and offering = often = the same sacrifices, = which can ‘never’ = take away sins.
(Heb 10:12) But this Man [Christ Jesus], = after He had offered = “one sacrifice” [Himself] = for sins = “Forever”, = sat down = on the right of God,
(Heb 10:13) from then on = expecting = until His enemies = are made His footstool.
(Heb 10:14) For by = “one offering” = He = has perfected = ‘forever’ = those who = are sanctified.

Perhaps you can see ‘Why’… I have entitled this blog… “Which Jesus?” Any religion, that does ‘Not’ believe that… “Christ Jesus is God”… is a ‘False One’… and so is, their ‘Jesus!’ Did you know that the Mormon religion, teaches the ‘Jesus’ is the brother of Lucifer and not God? Did you know that the Jehovah Witness, do ‘not’ believe that Jesus is God…? Many of the False Pseudo Christian sects, Denominations and Churches… Only use the Name of Jesus, in a historical or cultural way. Did you know, that Jesus, raised His own body…? He would surely have to be God, to do that!

*** (John 2:19-to-22) Jesus answered = and said to them, = Destroy this temple = and = in three days = “I” [Jesus] = will raise it up.
(John 2:20) Then the Jews said, = this temple was forty-six years building, = and = will You rear it up = in three days?
(John 2:21) But = He = “spoke of the temple – of His body”.
(John 2:22) Therefore = when = He had ‘risen’ = from the dead, = His disciples ‘remembered’ that = He = had said this to them, = and = they believed = the Scripture = and = the ‘word’ = which Jesus = had said.

*** (John 10:17-18) Therefore = My Father [God] = loves Me [Jesus], = because = “I” = ‘lay down’ = My life = so that = “I” [Jesus] = might = take it [up] again.
(John 10:18) ‘No one’ = takes it from Me, = 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.

Do you know… “Christ Jesus”… Who He really is and ‘Why’, it is so very important that You believe in the “Right Jesus”…? The exactness of the Scriptures will ‘not’ accept another ‘Jesus’ in the belief system of God. If your religion calls the name of Jesus, and it is ‘NOT’… the Jesus of the Bible, then your belief… will ‘not’ bring… “Eternal Salvation”. Say it isn’t so…? Is the Jesus you believe in… the same Jesus of Islam…? The Muslim believes in Jesus and that he came from God. Which ‘Jesus’, do you believe in…?

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/03/handling.html  


Recently someone said… God knows, which Jesus. I believe in, so it really doesn’t make any difference! May I ask you… is that ‘really’, what you Believe? Is there a Bible verse that contradicts that wrong belief…? Yes there is, posted below. Perhaps now is the time to ask you, when was the last time you read though the Bible, the Word of God, and saw ‘what it really said’ for itself…? When you were in school… did any professor or teacher, give you a right answer… because they ‘Knew’… what you meant… when your answer was ‘Wrong’…? Which… Jesus?

*** (Matthew 7:21-22-23) “NOT” = ‘everyone’ = who says to Me [Jesus], = Lord! = Lord! Shall 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 = 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” = never = knew you! = Depart from Me [Jesus], = those working lawlessness!

Which ‘Jesus', do you think… they believed, in or on…? If there is no ‘hunger’ for the Holy Word of God… in your life, and a ‘willingness’, to do His Word… did you ‘really’ believe in Jesus, the “Right Jesus”..? How many leave their Church and say, I once was a Christian, but the left the Faith. May I suggest the accuracy of the Word of God… when it say this, about their “Belief in Jesus?” Do you know anyone who says they were once, a Christian…? Which ‘Jesus’, did they believe in…?

*** (1John 2:19) “They” = went out = from us, = but = they were ‘not’ = of us; = for ‘if’ = they were of us, = they would have = continued with us. = But they went out = so that = ‘it might be revealed’ = that they were = ‘not’ = all of us.

*** (2Timothy 4:10) For = “Demas” = has forsaken me [Paul], = having ‘loved’ this present world, = and he has departed to Thessalonica. = Crescens went to Galatia, = Titus to Dalmatia.

In two, other chapters… ‘Demas’ was mentioned, “Colossians 4:14 and Philemon 1:24”. How about those Catholics, and their belief in Jesus, will that Jesus, get them to heaven…? How about the other Many Christian denominations, that teach, ‘other than that’, which is in the Bible and still ‘call’ themselves… “Christian?” If I live in a garage… can I then call myself a ‘car?’ Right away someone will say, I really didn’t know ‘WHO’ Jesus was, only that He died for my “Sin/Sins”…? But God knew which Jesus you really believe in, and it He was the right one, God gave His Holy Spirit to you. By the way, if it was the ‘Right Jesus’, do you now, read & study & obey… His Word…? Simply read… “James 1:22 & Luke 6:46”…!

*** (John 7:38-39) He who = believes on Me [Jesus], = as the “Scripture” = has said, = “Out of his belly = shall flow = rivers of living water”.
(John 7:39) But = He [Jesus] = spoke this about = the [Holy] Spirit, = which they = who believed = on Him [Jesus] =should receive; = for = the “Holy Spirit” = was not yet given, = because Jesus = was not ‘yet’ glorified. [risen from the dead]

*** (Ephesians 1:12-13-14) for us = to be = to the praise = of His glory, = ‘who’ = previously = had trusted in Christ; = [Christ–‘or’–Jesus?]
(Eph 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 [Romans 8:9],
(Eph 1:14) Who = is the earnest = of our inheritance, = to the redemption = of the purchased possession [you], = to the praise of His glory.

Often times… people say they believe in Jesus. Did you notice how the above Bible verses, specify… that your belief… “Must be – According to the Scriptures?” And that, your belief is to be in “Christ Jesus”, His Messianic title…? Did you ever see a beggar next to the highway with a sign… “Need Help, Jesus loves you, what about me?” Which Jesus, was he speaking about…? Many here in America, have a “Cultural Jesus”… but ‘not’, the one of the Bible! How could there be so many that… Believe in Jesus… and there then, be the Murder of Innocent babies, in their mother’s womb…? Which ‘Jesus’ did they believe in…?

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


Do you know… when you are ‘to die’…? If you do not know, are you prepared in your ‘Belief in Jesus’, the Right Jesus… or in another Jesus…? Why then do so many… walk away from obedience to the Bible… and then come back, thinking their belief in ‘Jesus’ was correct…? So many young people, raised in ‘Pseudo Christian’ homes… ‘do not’, have a Bible concept of the Real Jesus. If they did… then just perhaps… they might “Obey His Word”…? And you, who are adults, do you keep His Word… or… just that of your preacher or your Church. Have you ever questioned, what was said from the Pulpit… because it did “Not Agree”… With the Holy Word of God…? Which Jesus… do you get from your Church…? Please read… “Isaiah 8:20”…!

*** (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 [God].

*** (Luke 19:26) For I = say to you = that to everyone who has, = more will be given. = And = from him = who has not, = even that = which he has = will be taken from him.

**********************
(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]

“Death – 101”…Blog.

“Death – 101”…Blog.

How do you… ‘personally’, deal with death? Perhaps a relative or even spouse or your child…? Perhaps you have never thought about it. For most, it is a time of crisis and great emotional upheaval. This subject has been removed out of our thinking, except when it is in the news. This week a trainer at SeaWorld, in Orlando Florida, was killed by a ‘whale’. She was in her early forties and expected to live for some time, yet the news reported that she was taken by drowning. “All”… seem to have ‘forgotten’… that is why, it is called… “A Killer Whale!”

*** (Hebrews 9:27) And = as it is = “appointed” = to mankind = ‘once to die’, = but = [immediately] after this = the judgment,

People are ‘tied’… to their Emotions. Sometimes this can be good, but often not, as it can be to our detriment. The Life Insurance industry has mostly given people a ‘false sense’ of protection. The actuary tables provide statistics, on how long someone will live and they bet on these facts, to sell you ‘Life Insurance’. But, may I suggest that is ‘not’… what you really need? It is …“Life Assurance”… ‘To live your life properly’, in the ‘here & now and after you die’. This cannot be purchased, from an agent or on the internet. It comes, only from God, the God of the Bible and His Word.

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

This… “Life Assurance”… will help one… ‘Handle the TRUTH’… when someone you know dies. Sorry No, I am not speaking about a religion, or the false hope of atheism that says, there is nothing after death. Many that have religion, and even ‘some’, that have a form of Christianity… are ‘not sure’, when someone close to them… ‘Dies!’ The real question that haunts them is… “Do I, even have the ‘Right Belief’, about what happens, when I die? If you told someone about Jesus, would it be the correct belief, in that kind of… Christ Jesus, spoken about by most…?

*** (John 7:38-39) He who = believes on Me [Jesus], = As “The Scripture” = has said, = “Out of his belly = shall flow = rivers of = living water.”
(John 7:39) But He = spoke this = about the [Holy] Spirit, = which they = who believed [as the Scripture has said] = on Him [Christ] = should receive; = for the Holy Spirit = was not yet given, = because Jesus = was not yet glorified.

Did you Know… that if your, ‘Belief in Jesus’… “Is Not, according to the Scriptures”… it is not, the “Correct Belief”. Many live their lives… “Not according to the Scriptures”… but according to the way their Church or Pastor… believes. About now, someone is saying, “You are Crazy.” For example, I know of a Female Homosexual Pastor, that has a Church and congregation. They say they… “Believe in Jesus”… but is that the “Jesus of the Bible”…? Would you, thrust… ‘That Jesus’… for eternal life? Their Jesus, allows them to “Practice their Sin” and believes in what their Church teaches… and still go to heaven…? … “Not So!”

*** (1Peter 4:17-18) 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?

Do you ‘really know’… what the Gospel is, according to the Bible? Or do you ‘only know’ what your Church or Denomination… “Teaches?” They may ‘not’… be the “Same!” When faced with the death of your… “Father, Mother, Brother, Sister, Grandparent, Child”… are you willing to trust their… “Belief in Jesus”… to that which is… “Other than What the Bible”… ‘Really teaches’…? Did you know there are at least ‘Three Jesus’… spoken about, in the Bible. Which one of ‘those’ do you trust your eternal life on…?

*** (Matthew 7:21-22-23) Not = ‘everyone’ = who says = to Me [Jesus], = Lord! = Lord! = Shall enter = the kingdom of Heaven, = ‘but’ = he who = does the will [Word] = of My Father [God] = 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 = ‘never’ = knew you! = Depart from Me, = those working = lawlessness!

About now… some may be questioning… If in fact, they believe in the “Right Jesus?” The… “MANY”… in those above Bible verses, ‘surely’ thought, that their belief… was the Right One! All their friends at Church… believe the same thing. It was all right for them to live the way they did… believing that they were ‘Loving & Serving’… the “Wrong Jesus?” Just ask any of them and they will tell you, “We Are serving Jesus!” But simply present the… “Word of God, or a Bible Verse”… to them about something, they “Approve” and they will ‘immediately’… become your enemy!

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


*** (Luke 4:4) And Jesus = answered him [Satan], = saying, = It is written that = “Man ‘shall not’ = live by = bread alone, = but = By Every = Word of God."


*** (James 1:22) Keep on being = “Doers of the Word”, = and = “Not Merely Hearers” = “Who Deceive” = themselves.

Will you Trust… “Your Belief”… instead of that of the Bible, about Jesus? Who He is, and what He requires of you, to have that Correct Belief in Him… to gain you Eternal Life…? Have you ‘ever’ read through… “Exodus, Leviticus and Deuteronomy”…? If you have, were you taken by the … “Miniscule & Exacting Details of Worship”. That was commanded, by God, to Moses, for the… “Correct worship and sacrifices offered to God?” Did you know that two of Aarons’ four sons… were destroyed ‘immediately’… for leading in the wrong worship of God…? After all the instructions and the written Word for a reference… they ‘chose’ to disobey God’s Word.

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

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

When King David… committed “Adultery”, with Bathsheba, another man’s wife, the child died. But did you know that the same “Adultery” that David did… his children ‘did’ also…? His son Amnon raped his half sister, Tamar. Later when David’s son, Solomon took over the Kingdom, he had over ‘1,000 women’, in his harem. David’s adultery, was passed down to his Children. Solomon had heathen wives, who had him, build Heathen Temples in Israel. These idols were forbidden by God. This trickle down ‘sin’, parent to child… was a direct result… of David’s… “Disobedience = To God’s Word”.

*** (Nehemiah 13:26) Did not Solomon = king of Israel = “Sin” = by these things? = Yet among = many nations = there was no king like him, = who was beloved = by his God, = and God made him king = over all Israel. = But = [heathen] ‘women’ = from other lands = caused = even him = to sin.

*** (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 [really] in you, = unless you are = reprobates?

Some only want… the easy ‘Truth’. They are ‘not willing’, to know what the Bible really teaches about “Salvation and Judgment”. Instead, they will take ‘anything’ they are told, without question. ‘Few’ want the whole Truth, that teaches that ‘Few’ will really be saved! Only when the cold hard facts of… “Death”… are made real to them… are they willing to deal with it. If you have Life Insurance… and not… “Life Assurance”… for the here and now and hereafter, perhaps now is the time to examine what ‘you’ really believe…?

*** (Matthew 7:14) Because = ‘narrow’ is the gate = and = ‘constricted’ is the way = which leads = to life, = and = there are ‘few’ = who find it.

*** (Luke 18:8) I [Jesus] = say to you = that He [God] = will = avenge them speedily. = Yet when = the Son of Man comes, = shall He find = “Faith” = on the earth?

*** (Jude 1:3-4) Having made = all haste = to write to you = ‘about’ = the common salvation, = beloved, = I had need = to write = to you = to exhort you = “to contend earnestly” = for “the Faith” = once delivered = to the saints.
(Jude 1:4) For = certain men = crept in secretly, = those having been of old = previously written = into this condemnation, = ungodly ones = “Perverting” = the Grace of our God = for unbridled lust, = and = denying the only Master, God, = even our Lord Jesus Christ.

What is this… “The Faith”… that the Scriptures speak about. Surely it is… “Not”… that ‘Cultural Christianity’… that so many know and say… “Yes I believe in Jesus?” The “Straight & Narrow”… that “True Faith”… is ‘NOT’ known about, by the average person here in the USA. It is ‘NOT’… that, ‘In God we Trust’ that is on our money. Nor is it that… ‘God… that we sing about in… ‘God bless America!’ That is only a ‘Cultural’ Christianity… that makes False Christians… who ‘do not’ want to… “Know and Live”… that Blessed Word of God…!

*** (1Corinthians 15:19) “If” = in this life = ‘only’ = we have hope in Christ, = we are = of ‘all’ men = most miserable.

Isn’t it about Time… for you to ‘really know’… what the Bible says…? When my mother passed away, I had previously led her to Christ, some six months earlier. Even at 83, and knowing she was dying, she knew that all her “Catholic Christian Religion”… could ‘not’, give her that… “Eternal Assurance”… that she needed to face death. She phoned me from her nursing home and asked me to come and speak with her. She knew my faith and that I knew… what the Bible said. God, gave me the privilege to lead her to Christ Jesus, for that… “Eternal Assurance!”

*** (Romans 10:3) For they, = being [willingly] ignorant = of God's righteousness = and = going about = to establish = their own righteousness, = have “not” = submitted themselves = to the righteousness = of God.

*** (Luke 6:26) Woe to you = when ‘all’ men = shall speak well = of you! = For so = their fathers = did to = the ‘false’ prophets.

*** (1Corinthains 14:32) The spirits = of prophets [True or False] = are = subject to = the prophets [True or False],

Do you “Really Know”… what the Bible says, about Salvation… and what it means to ‘Believe in Jesus’… “As The Scripture” have said…? “IF” you… do not know…. “Shouldn’t You”…? How then, do you share the real… “Eternal Assurance”… with one… that is about to Die? And then perhaps… with the remaining ‘living’ relatives? Will they believe in… ‘Your Jesus’… or will it be… “The Jesus of the Bible”… “As the Scriptures”, have said…?

“Fear – 101”…Blog.

“Fear – 101”…Blog.



How do you deal with… “Fear?” Is there anyone that is not ‘Fearful’ of something? Do you know… How to deal with ‘Fear?’ Is there “Someone” to be ‘Fearful’ of and some ‘not’ to be ‘Fearful’ of…? Are you so bold… that you can say you have, “No Fear?” Suppose someone was to break into your house or vehicle… how would you then deal with that ‘Fear?’ All these questions are simply to get you to… “Know ‘WHO’ to Fear”… and who, “Not to Fear!”

*** (Hebrews 2:14-15) Since then = the children [humans] = have partaken of flesh and blood, = He [Christ Jesus] also Himself = likewise partook of the same [humanness]; = that through [His] death [and resurrection] = He might destroy = him = who had the power of death = (that is, the Devil),

(Heb 2:15) and = deliver those = who through = “fear of death” = were = “all” their lifetime = subject to bondage [of sin].

This release of “Fear”… is only for those that are the, “Real Children of God”, through being ‘Born Again’, by the Holy Spirit of God. All others… ‘Do Not’ have this assurance… from God through the Scriptures. Those that will not recognize this ‘fear’… have simply blocked it out, and substituted it with “Stupidity!” Have you ever hear this term… “Ignorance can be Fixed = Stupid is Forever!” The definition of ‘Ignorance’… is to be “Un-Informed”. We are all born ‘Ignorant’… and within two or three years, are communication in a ‘language’ we never new.

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


*** (Proverbs 9:9) Give instruction = to a wise man, = and = he will be = yet wiser: = teach a just man, = and = he will increase in learning.

So what is Stupidity…? How can ‘one’, be stupid and ‘not’ be Fixed? Simply put… “It is that Unwillingness ‘to be’ Taught!” “A common example”, is the person, who continually gets speeding violations, looses their license, and will lose, the privilege to drive. They just seem… “Not to Get”… the ‘cause and effect’ relationship. Many of our prisons are filled with… ‘Repeat Offender’… who continue to make ‘Bad Choices!’ They will ‘not change’, even though they are ‘Re-Incarcerated’, repeatedly.

*** (Proverbs 9:9) Give to = a wise one, = and = he will be = still wiser; = teach a just one, = and = he will increase = in learning.

Have you ever… touched a hot stove, when you were very young? I did at about three and can still remember the blisters that I had on my fingers… because I refused to listen to the wise instructions of my mother. Later on life I often applied that ‘lesson learned’ to many of the other lessons one is required, to learn. Have you done so… or… do you find ‘yourself’… making the same bad decisions…?

*** (Proverbs 27:23) You = be diligent = to know = the state of your flocks, = and = look well = to your herds.

This life lesson… can be applied to ‘any’ of your possessions. Your house needs constant maintenance, as well as your vehicle. Your career choice and your work skills, need constant attention, as well as your mate and children. Without that ‘constant concern’… things will degenerate into a… “State of Apathy!” Most of all, your Spiritual, Emotional and Physical… “YOU”… needs constant attention.

Many like to embrace ‘Fear’… just to test themselves. Such ‘rides’ are a kick to one’s ‘adrenaline rush’, to make sure they are still alive. These are all, in reality, a test of our mind, to see if one can handle real fear. Horror movies are produced ‘only’, to give one, such a rush. This will not hold up to the… ‘Real Fears’… that comes about in ‘real’ life. Our ‘Failing Economy’, Job Loss, Health Problems, No Medical Insurance, Spouse Death and a plethora of other scenarios and the list goes on and on. Even the ‘death’ of a child or that of a parent… seems to bring all these fears, to reality.

*** (1John 4:17-18-19) In this = is our love [Agape] = made perfect, = that we = may have boldness = in the ‘day of judgment’, = that as He is, = so also = we are = in this world.
(1John 4:18) There is = no fear = in love [Agape], = but = perfect love [Agape] = casts out fear, = because = fear has torment. = He who = ‘fears’ = “Has Not” = been perfected = in love [Agape].
(1John 4:19) We love [Agape] = Him [God] = because = He first = loved [Agape] us.

This “Perfect Love [Agape]”… is the 'Only Thing'… to keep us from “Fear!” What is that Love and How does One… get it? It comes from being a Child of God. Did you read the phrase… “In the Day of Judgment”…? That is speaking about our ‘Position’ or our ‘Non-Position’… as a Child of God. The Love we need to overcome ‘Fear’… is only brought about by the Holy Spirit… Who indwells… ‘each & every’… True Believer! If you are not Born Again, by the Holy Spirit of God… you cannot have such… ‘Assurance!’ This “Agape Love”… comes “ONLY”… from the Holy Spirit and it cannot be manufactured by… mental ascent or by the will of man.

*** (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.

*** (Proverbs 29:25) The fear of man = brings a snare, = but whoever = puts his trust = in Jehovah = shall be safe.

You have ‘two fears’… that one may be concerned about. The ‘Fear of Man’ can be healthy when we… Lock our doors and vehicles. So too in certain areas of this or other countries, we do not go. While in Miami on a work assignment and in Los Angeles, I was advised by the car rental agents… Not to go in certain areas. They took a map and drew a red circle around those areas. Because of the “High Crime Rates and Gang Activity”… visitors were ‘advised’… not to go to those areas.

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/07/guns-101blog.html


*** (Luke 12:4-5) And = I [Jesus] = say to you, = My friends, = do ‘not’ be afraid = of those = who kill the body, = and after that = have ‘no more’ = that they = can do.
(Luke 12:5) But = I [Jesus] = will warn ‘you’ = of “Whom” = you shall = ‘fear’: = Fear “Him” = “Who”, = after He has killed, = ‘has authority’ = to cast into hell. = Yea, = I say to you, = ‘Fear’ Him [God]. = [Ecclesiastes 12:13-14]

Today there are ‘Many’… who “Do Not fear”, God, the God of the Bible. I constantly see their posts on the internet, mocking “God” and “True Christianity”. There are ‘Many’ that say they know God, and yet in ‘practice & lifestyle’… deny Him… by their Life. Some years ago, I had cancer surgery and radiation treatment. For some months during, I had ‘terrors & fears’… even though I was a Born Again Christian. “Only” after I stopping taking, “The Drugs”, they had prescribed… did I get my correct thinking back. Many times, we consume drugs, under doctors’ orders… ‘Without Knowing Completely’… what they will do to our psyche.

*** (Psalms 56:3) When = I am = ‘afraid’ = I will = trust in = You [Lord].

*** (Philippians 2:5) For = let this mind = be in you = which was also = in Christ Jesus,

What is this Mind… of which we are to have? It is the mindset that is ‘guided and led’, by the Holy Spirit… with the Word of God. It is that “Obedience” to His Word… that will give us the Peace of God, that Love of God [Agape], for ‘each & every’ situation. “God’s Peace”, is not ‘only’ for peace times… but for those of, ‘tribulation and trials’, that come upon ‘all’ mankind. We are ‘All’… put to the test… but it is “How we Respond”… that will reveal the real you.

*** (John 14:26-27) But = the Comforter, = the Holy Spirit = Whom the Father = will send = in My Name, = He = shall teach you = ‘all’ things = and = bring ‘all’ things = to your remembrance, = whatever = I [Jesus] = have said to you [in the Word of God].
(John 14:27) “Peace” = I [Jesus] = leave with you, = My “Peace” = I = give to you. = “Not” = as the world gives = do I give to you. = Let ‘not’ = your heart = be troubled, = neither = let it = be afraid [FEAR].

Again this Peace of God and this Love [Agape] of God… comes 'only' from the Holy Spirit. The world cannot give it to you, no matter what anyone says. It is the… Peace of the Soul… that only comes from God, by the Holy Spirit indwelling the True Believer. Not even winning the Lotto can give that kind of peace to your soul. Human goodness is only our goodness and not that of God’s Holy Spirit… indwelling the True Believer. His Peace comes from the ‘One’ that… “Knows & Obeys”… His Word, The Word of God, The Bible!

*** (Matthew 4:4) But He [Jesus] = answered and said, = It is written, = "Man shall ‘not’ = live by bread alone, = but by = ‘Every Word’ = that proceeds = out of the mouth of God."

*** (James 1:22) Keep on = Being = Doers of the Word, = and ‘not’ = merely hearers = who = ‘Deceive’ = themselves.

*** (John 15:9-10) As the Father [God] = has loved [Agape] = Me [Jesus], so = I have loved [Agape] = you; = continue in = My love [Agape].
(John 15:10) If you = ‘keep’ = My commandments, = you shall abide = in = My love [Agape], = even as = I have kept = My Father's commandments = and = abide in His love [Agape].

The Peace of God, that Agape Love… dispels ‘ALL’… Fear! It is that divine, supernatural Love, by the Holy Spirit of God… indwelling all real Believers. IT only comes from God. It is that … “Love [Agape] Positional Peace”… that give us Assurance of Him, indwelling us and keeping our minds and hearts… in Him. Both in the day of judgment and in… the here and now!

*** (Acts 5:8-to-11) And Peter answered her, = Tell me whether you sold the land for so much? = And she said, = Yes, for so much.
(Acts 5:9) Then Peter said to her, = How is it = that you have agreed together = ‘to tempt’ = the Spirit of the Lord? = Behold, = the feet of those who have buried your husband = are ‘at’ the door = and = they will carry ‘you’ out.
(Acts 5:10) Then at once = she fell down = at his feet = and expired [Died]. = And the younger ones = found her dead, = and, carrying her out, = buried her beside = her husband.
(Acts 5:11) And = Great Fear [of God] = came on ‘all’ the church = and = on as ‘many’ as = heard = these things.

*** (1Corinthians 11:28-29-30) A person = ‘must’ = examine himself = and = then eat the bread = and = drink from the cup [Communion].
(1Cor 11:29) For = the “one” = who eats and drinks = without recognizing = the body = eats and drinks = “judgment” = on himself.
(1Cor 11:30) That's why = so “many” = of you = are ‘weak’ = and ‘sick’ = and a considerable = number = are ‘Dying’. [God’s Chastening (Spanking) Hebrews 12:5-to-8]

*** (2Corinthians 5:10-11) For we = must ‘all’ = appear before = the judgment seat of Christ, = so that each one = may receive = the things done = through the body, = according to that which he has done, = whether = good or bad = [Ecclesiastes 12:13-14].
(2Cor 5:11) Therefore, knowing = the “FEAR of the LORD”, = we persuade men. = But we = are revealed to God, = and I trust also = that we are revealed = in your consciences.

PERHAPS… With a Correct Understanding of the Fear of the LORD, the Church of Christ Jesus… would be a Purer Church, without Spot or Wrinkle or Willful Sin…!
