“The Funeral – 303 [Death]”…Blog.



*** (1Corinthians 15:26) The ‘last’ enemy = that shall be ‘destroyed’ = is ‘Death’.


Continuing this discussion… it is my hope that you have been looking at what God, the God of the Bible says about… ‘your’ earthly end. As previously said, “One cannot live properly, till they are ready to die!” Will you ever have to say, “I wish I could have settled that matter before?” Is there someone you are ‘not right’ with… before Christ Jesus; and you have set aside, because you did not want to deal with… ‘Those Issues’? A clear conscience will ‘allow’ this and ‘not allow’, the fear of death to consume you.

*** (2Corinthians 8:21) providing for = honest things, = not ‘only’ = before the Lord, = but also = before men. [Matthew 5:23-24]

*** (1Timothy 1:19) holding faith = and = a good conscience, = which some = have put away = and = made ‘shipwreck’ = as to faith. [Ecclesiastes 12:13-14]

Perhaps for a ‘moment’… step back in your mind and visit how you felt during the “9-11” terrorist attack on the United States. Churches were filled to overflowing, with unbelievers, thinking the end of days, was upon us. For the over 3,000 killed and their remaining family members, this ‘terror’ lives with most. Only when one; has the assurance of “Eternal Life”; can they overcome such a tragedy. Once again, you cannot live properly, till you have made peace with… “Peace with God!”

*** (1Timothy 5:24-25) Some men's sins = are open = beforehand, = going before = to judgment. = And = some = they ‘also’ = follow after. [Numbers 32:23]
(1Tim 5:25) Likewise also = the good works of some are manifest beforehand, = and = those who are otherwise = cannot be hidden. [Galatians 6:9]

“Short Accounts”… is the way to live in peace, no matter what happens. My parents and grandparents lived though the ‘Great Depression’. Some others survived, while many others perished. Some learned lesions about finances and some did ‘not’. The last two generations, now a days; have made themselves… “Slaves to Credit”. “They spend monies they do not have = for things they do not need = things which ‘do not’ =bring peace of satisfaction.” Say it isn’t so…?

*** (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.

*** (Hosea 4:6) My people = are destroyed = for lack of knowledge. = Because you have rejected knowledge, = I will also reject you = from being priest [Revelation 1:6] to Me. = Since = you have forgotten = the Law of your God, = I will also = forget your sons, even I [The Lord].

The Funeral… that you have attended or will attend soon; will surely put all things in the right perspective. The ‘finality’ of death, will hit you either ‘unexpected’… or, with preparation. That choice is yours and belongs to no one else. There is no such thing as… “Hand me down Faith in God!” Each and every one of us, will stand before Him, and will give an account. Your pastor, your spouse, your father or mother or anyone else… ‘Will Not’… give an account of “Your Decision for Jesus!” That is for you and… you ‘alone’ to make.

*** (Matthew 25:41) Then He [Jesus] = also shall say = to those on the left hand, = Depart from Me, = you cursed [damned], = into everlasting fire = prepared for = the Devil and his angels.

*** (Matthew 13:49-50-51) So it shall be = at the end of the world. = The angels shall come out = and separate = the wicked = from among the just,
(Matt 13:50) and = shall cast them = into the furnace of fire. = There shall be wailing = and = gnashing of teeth.
(Matt 13:51) Jesus said to them, = Have you understood = ‘all’ these things? = They said to Him, Yes, Lord. [How about You?]

Hell is just… the ‘temporary’ stopping place before, the Eternal Lake of Fire. It was not intended for mankind but for the devil and his angels. Yes it is for… those fallen angels, who with Satan, were in ‘rebellion’ against God. Someone said to me, “I don’t believe all that stuff, ‘religion’ and all their trappings!” Well, I don’t either! I simply believe what God, said in His Word, the Bible. ‘Religion’… is nothing more than man’s ‘attempt’, to circumvent what God has already, in His Word. Why do you think, that there so ‘very many’… denominations…?

*** (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. [Matthew 4:4]

*** (John 6:63-to-66) It is the [Holy] 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.

Religion always ‘hates’… the Holy Word of God; the Bible. Those disciples of Jesus, left off from, the words of Spirit and Life… and returned to their Religion! So is it today, some 2,000 years later. People have their… ‘Religion’ …or their ‘Church’ …or their ‘Denomination’… and do ‘not’ want… what the Bible says. Many times while posting on the internet, people will get angry, because they think that I speak badly, about their religion or church. How can I do that… when I only share… what GOD has ‘already’ said in His Word… the Bible? Who do you believe… some church, or… “God and His Word?”

*** (Romans 2:15) who show = the work of the Law [of God] = written in their hearts, = their conscience ‘also’ = bearing witness, = and = the thoughts between one another = ‘accusing’ = or even = ‘excusing’ one another,

*** (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.

When presented with the Word of God… it is your choice to believe Him… or your Church. It is just that simple. With care and in great introspection, you fill out your income taxes, knowing the government will hold, ‘you’ responsible. How much more, the God of All Creation, will He hold you to the… “Complete Authority” = of His Word?” Your pastor, priest or rabbi… will not be able to defend ‘your’ decisions; about ‘your’ religion. Will they…? If you think they can, perhaps get… ‘A Note’… from them, and show it to GOD, when you stand before Him…? Yes, that was an exaggeration to make a point, a hyperbole

The “GOOD” News…


*** (John 3:16-17-18 a.) For God = so loved the world = that He gave = His only-begotten Son [Jesus], = that ‘whoever’ = believes in Him = should ‘not’ perish = but = have everlasting life.
(John 3:17) For God = did ‘not’ = send His Son [the First Time] = into the world = to condemn the world, = but so that = the world might = be saved through = Him.
(John 3:18 a.) He who believes = on Him = is not condemned,

The “BAD” News…


(John 3:18 b. -19-20) but he who = does ‘not’ believe = is condemned [Damned] already, = because = he has ‘not’ believed = in the Name = of the only-begotten = Son of God.
(John 3:19) And this is = the ‘condemnation’, = that the Light = has come into the world, = and = men ‘loved darkness’ [evil] = 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.

Please tell me that… You believe the “Word of God”, over what your Church or Denomination? Do you ‘not’ realize… that it is a matter… of ‘eternal’ life or ‘eternal’ death? What you believe about Jesus, Who He is and What He has done; is the most important! Jesus himself gave His… ‘promise & warning’… in the above Bible verses. There are only two choices, to believe Him… or Not…?

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


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

*** (John 14:6-7) Jesus said to him, = I am the Way, = the Truth, = and = the Life; = ‘no one’ = comes to the Father = but by Me.
(John 14:7) If = you had known Me [Jesus], = you would have known = My Father [God] also. = And = from now on = you know Him = and = have seen Him. [Colossians 1:12-to-19]

*** (John 1:11-to-14) He came to His own, = and = His own received Him = not.
(John 1:12) But = as ‘many’ = as received Him, = He gave = to them authority = to become = the children of God, = to those who believe = on His name,
(John 1:13) who were born, = ‘not’ of bloods, = ‘nor’ of the will of the flesh, = ‘nor’ of the will of man, = but were born [again] of God.
(John 1:14) And = the Word [Jesus] = became flesh, = and = tabernacled among us. = And = we beheld His glory, = the glory as of = the ‘only’ begotten of the Father, = full of grace = and = of Truth.

*** (2Corinthians 6:2) For He says, = "In an acceptable time = I heard you, = and = in a day of salvation, = I helped you;" = Behold, = ‘NOW’ = is the accepted time. Behold, = ‘NOW’ = is the day of salvation.)

*** (Romans 10:9-to-13) Because = ‘if’ you confess = the Lord Jesus, = and = believe in your heart = that God = has raised Him = from the dead, = you shall be saved.
(Rom 10:10) For with the ‘heart’ = one ‘believes’ unto righteousness, = and = with the ‘mouth’ = one confesses = unto salvation.
(Rom 10:11) For the Scripture says, = "Everyone = believing on Him = ‘shall not’ be put to shame."
(Rom 10:12) For there is = ‘no difference’ = both of Jew and of Gentile, = for the same Lord = over ‘all’ = is rich = to ‘all’ = who ‘call’ on = Him.
(Rom 10:13) For everyone, = "whoever shall call = on the name of the Lord = will be saved."

Call upon Him… Today… before... Your ‘Funeral’!

"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 Funeral - 202 [Death].

“The Funeral – 202 [Death]”…Blog.



Perhaps you did ‘NOT’… get all the way through yesterdays blog? Was it too painful for you to think about, your own death, or the death of someone who has passed into… ‘Eternity?’ No one escapes death although many have tried. Of course you have heard the saying, “You cannot take it with You!” Never will you see a Hearse… pulling a trailer to the cemetery. Although I did hear of one man, who had his ‘dead body’ placed in his Cadillac, and both into a cemetery plot and then the hole; filled with “Cement!” I guess he did… take it with him! …LOL! At least, no one else got it.

*** (Ecclesiastes 3:1-to-8) To everything =there is a season, = and =a time =for every purpose under the heavens:
(Eccl 3:2) a time = to be born, = and a time = to die; = a time to plant, = and a time = to pull up what is planted;
(Eccl 3:3) a time to kill, = and a time to heal; = a time to break down, = and a time to build up;
(Eccl 3:4) a time to weep, = and a time to laugh; = a time to mourn, = and a time to dance;
(Eccl 3:5) a time to throw away stones, = and a time to gather stones together; = a time to embrace, = and a time to refrain from embracing;
(Eccl 3:6) a time to get, = and a time to lose; = a time to keep, = and a time to throw away;
(Eccl 3:7) a time to tear, = and a time to sew; = a time to keep silence, = and a time to speak;
(Eccl 3:8) a time to love, = and a time to hate; = a time of war, = and a time of peace.

As we discuss the “Funeral”… you must have made some plans for the hereafter…? You planned for retirement, so that you would have funds to do what you wanted. You planed your vacation trips and you even planned what, you will watch on ‘TV or Video’ this week. But what about Eternity and its… “Finality?” There are “NO”… “Second Chances” nor any, “Do Over’s!” Reincarnation is not a reality; neither is being frozen in “Cryo-Suspension” and revived later, as an option. Death is the final human act you will perform… till the “Judgment by Christ!”

*** (2Corinthians 5:10) 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) 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.

These earthly bodies… in which the ‘real you’, resides will be resurrected, with the ‘real you’. Some, will have new bodies and some will have their old bodies; for Eternity. Waiting till just before death, is not the right time. If this is painful for you to think about; better “Now”… than when it is… “Too Late!” Once you die, there are “No Second Chances”… for you or for anyone! So just “Who”… did you… “Fail to make this, ‘known’… TO?” Was it your friend or relative; who just recently passed from… “Life to Death”…?

*** (John 5:26-to-29) For as the Father = has life in Himself, = so = He has given to the Son = to have life = within Himself,
(John 5:27) and = has given Him = ‘authority’ to execute = judgment also, = because = He is the Son of Man.
(John 5:28) Do not marvel at this, = for the ‘hour’ is coming = in which ‘all’ = who are in the graves = shall hear = His voice,
(John 5:29) and = ‘shall’ come forth, = those = who have = ‘done good’ = to the resurrection of life, = and = those = who have = ‘practiced evil’ = to the resurrection of damnation.

*** (1Corinthians 15:50-to-57) Brothers [in Christ], this is what I mean: = Flesh and blood = ‘cannot’ inherit = the kingdom of God, = and = what decays = ‘cannot’ = inherit what does = ‘not decay’.
(1Cor 15:51) Let me tell you a secret. = Not all of us will die, = but ‘all’ of us = will be changed-
(1Cor 15:52) in a moment, = in the blinking of an eye, = at the ‘sound’ = of the last trumpet. = Indeed, = that trumpet ‘will’ sound, = and = then the dead = will be raised never to decay, = and = we will be changed.
(1Cor 15:53) For what is decaying = must put on = ‘what’ cannot decay, = and = what is dying = ‘must’ put on = what cannot die.
(1Cor 15:54) Now, = when what is decaying = puts on what ‘cannot’ decay, = and what is dying = puts on what ‘cannot’ die, = then the saying = that is written = will be fulfilled: = "Death has been swallowed = up in victory!"
(1Cor 15:55) "Where, O death, = is your victory? = Where, O death, = is your sting?"
(1Cor 15:56) Now the sting of death is sin, = and = the power of sin is the law.
(1Cor 15:57) But thanks be to God, = Who gives us the victory = through our Lord Jesus Christ!

About now… you can readily see that there are… “Two Groups”… at the resurrection! Some to Life… and some to ‘Damnation’. Perhaps you know someone who was ‘religious’ but… “Never Loved Jesus and His Word, the Bible?” Where do you think ‘they’ will be; during the last resurrection? There are ‘only’ two places one goes; when they die. Sorry, there is no ‘Purgatory’, that the CC teaches. Surely IF… true faith in God was ‘not’ enough during life, the prayers of sinners cannot free one from Hell. This true Bible story, often called a parable, is a ‘real’ picture of what happens after death. Oh yes, Bible parables ‘do not’ have proper names; i.e. Abraham and Moses! This is a true story!

*** (Luke 16:22-to-31) 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.

In the OT Economy… there were ‘two’ places for the dead to go. One with Abraham, the father of Faith. The other place; ‘Hell, the place of torment; for the unjust dead. About now, someone is saying, that is still a Bible parable and ‘not’ really a true story. Sorry, all the Bible parables have non-specific subjects like… a sower and the soils; then unmerciful servant; the workers of the vineyard; two sons; the good Samaritan; and on. None ‘others’ have proper names. This is a true story, told by Jesus himself.

*** (Matthew 27:50-to-53) And = crying again = with a loud voice, = Jesus released His spirit. [John 19:30 – It is Finished]
(Matt 27:51) And, behold! = The veil of the temple = was torn in ‘two’ = from top to bottom. = And the earth quaked, = and = the rocks were sheared,
(Matt 27:52) and = the tombs were opened, = and = ‘many’ bodies of the saints = who had fallen asleep [died] = arose,
(Matt 27:53) and = coming out of the tomb = ‘after’ = His [Jesus’] resurrection = they went into = the holy city [Jerusalem] = and = ‘appeared’ to many.

*** (2Corinthians 5:6-7-8) Therefore = we are ‘always’ confident, = knowing that, = whilst we are at home = in the body, = we are = ‘absent’ = from the Lord:
(2Cor 5:7) For = we walk by faith, = not by sight:
(2Cor 5:8) We are confident, = I say, = and = willing rather = to be ‘absent’ = from the body, = and = to be ‘present’ = with the Lord.

The NT true believer… has the hope, when ‘he or she’ dies; that their spirit is ‘immediately’ with Jesus in Heaven! But the unbeliever has ‘the assurance’ from the Word of God; that they will be in ‘Torment’, till the Great Judgment of all mankind. The True Believer will be judged and rewarded for their good works; and the unbeliever will suffer eternal ‘punishment’ … according to their evil works. God, the God of the Bible… will do so has He has promised in His Word.

*** (Revelation 20:10-to-15) And = the Devil = who deceived them = was ‘cast’ into = the Lake of “Fire and Brimstone”, = where = ‘the beast’ = and = ‘the false prophet’ = were. = And he will be ‘tormented’ = ‘day and night’ = ‘forever and ever’.
(Rev 20:11) And I saw = a great white throne, = and = Him [Jesus] = sitting on it, = from whose face = the earth and the heaven = fled away. = And a place = was not found for them.
(Rev 20:12) And I saw = the dead, = the small = and the great, = stand before God. = And = ‘books’ were opened, = and = ‘another book’ = was opened, = which is the = “Book of Life”. = And the dead = were ‘judged’ = out of those things = which were ‘written’ = in the books, = according to = their works.
(Rev 20:13) And the sea gave = up the dead in it. = And = ‘death and hell’ = delivered up = the ‘dead’ = in them. = And = each ‘one’ of them = was judged = according to = their works.
(Rev 20:14) And = “death and hell” = were cast into = the Lake of Fire. = This is = the second death.
(Rev 20:15) And if = ‘anyone’ = was not found = having been written = in the “Book of Life”, = he was ‘cast’ = into = the Lake of Fire.

IF you have ‘Never’… read these Bible verses before, you had ‘better take heed!’ The mercy and the grace of God, is ‘only’ available to you, while you are alive. You alone, make the choice for eternal life or eternal torment. Your Preacher, your Rabbi or your Priest or your Minister; will not be there before Christ Jesus, to defend your belief. You ‘alone’… are responsible for your acceptance of the Word of God… ‘or’… for your rejection, of the same!

(John 3:18-19-20) He who = believes on Him [Jesus] = is not condemned, = but he who = does ‘not’ believe = is ‘condemned’ already, = because he has ‘not’ believed = in the Name = of the only-begotten = Son of God.
(John 3:19) 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’.

Call upon “Him”… before, “Your”… Funeral…!

"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 Funeral – 101”…Blog.

The Funeral – 101”…Blog.



*** (Hebrews 9:27) Indeed, = just as people = are appointed = to die once = and = after that = to be judged,

If you are reading this… you have ‘not attended’, your ‘own funeral’. Perhaps you have recently attended another’s or knew someone that has. Many of the living ‘have not’ dealt with the ‘finality of death’. One cannot live properly in this life, till they have. Still many ‘others’ cannot get over the death of a loved one, a family member, a child or even a spouse. They themselves ‘have not’ dealt with… ‘The issues of Life & Death!’ Are you sure about that loved one you buried, or knew about, ‘where’ they will spend… “Eternity?” It is too late for them, but perhaps, not for you!

*** (Hebrews 2:15) and = deliver those = who ‘through’ = fear of death = were ‘all’ their lifetime = subject to bondage.

While on a trip… to Kentucky, I visited “Cemetery Ridge”. There during the civil war, the Confederacy withstood the Union troops with their cannon. I like visiting cemeteries and reading grave markers. Some even proclaim, ‘how good a father, spouse or civil leader’, they were supposed to be, in this life. Others say ‘nothing’ but the name and ‘birth/death’ dates. Still another, in that very cemetery, told an ‘eternal’ story. Most of those tomb stones were from the early 1800’s and forward. One in particular, from 1845, read like this…“Blessed is he, that dies, in the Lord”

*** (John 5:24) "Truly, truly = I [Jesus] = tell you, = the one = who hears “My Word” = and = believes in the One [God] = Who sent Me = has eternal life = and = ‘does not’ = come under judgment, = but has passed from death = to [eternal] life.

That person… “Who” had made his peace with God, the God of the Bible ‘before’ his death, immediately is with Jesus. There are ‘many’, here in America, who ‘know’ about God, ‘only’ from a cultural sense. “God Bless America”, our national anthem, “In God we Trust” which is on our money and many other cultural reference about God. But knowing about God and knowing His Name… ‘does not’ mean… you know Him ‘personally’, as your… “God & Savior!”

*** (James 2:19) You believe = that there is = one God. = That's fine! = Even the ‘demons’ = believe that = and = tremble with fear.

*** (Romans 5:12) Therefore, = just as sin = entered the world = through one man, = and = ‘death’ through sin, = so ‘death’ = spread to everyone, = because = ‘all’ have sinned.

Many still grieve… for their deceased parents and even remember their birthdays. While speaking with my sister, she mentioned about mom’s birthday. I simply told her, “Birthdays do not count”… when one is dead. She remarked, yes, you are right. Many hold on to a false hope that somehow that loved one, is in ‘heaven’ and ‘not’ in hell. Every time a President or well known Politian dies, they are automatically thought of going to heaven. “Not So”… in every case, not even that of Mother Theresa. How about those rock stars that die from drug overdoses’…?

*** (John 7:37-38-39) On the last = and most important day = of the festival, = Jesus stood up = and shouted, = "If anyone is thirsty, = let him come to Me = and drink!
(John 7:38) The one = who believes in Me, = “as the Scripture has said”, = will have rivers of living water = flowing from his heart."
(John 7:39) Now He said this = ‘about’ the [Holy] Spirit, = whom those who were = believing in Him = were to receive. = For the Spirit = was ‘not yet’ present, = because Jesus = had ‘not yet’ been glorified.

*** (John 16:7-8) But I [Jesus] = tell you the Truth, = it is expedient for you = that I go away; = for if = I ‘do not’ go away, = the Comforter [Holy Spirit] = ‘will not’ come to you. = But if = I depart, = I ‘will’ send Him = to you.
(John 16:8) And when that One comes, = He will convict the world = concerning Sin, = and = concerning Righteousness, = and = concerning Judgment.

About now, ‘someone’… is asking, “What has that got to do about, my Loved One, Dying?” Perhaps read over the above Bible verses? The one that belongs to Christ Jesus and calls God his or her Father, knows Right from Wrong, by the Holy Spirit that indwells them, as promised by Christ Jesus. They not only know, but ‘practice righteousness’ and ‘love’ His Word, the Bible. Those that ‘do not’ love, His Word, ‘do not’ Love Him… and ‘do not’ belong to Him. How then could they have died and gone to heaven? How about… “You”…?

*** (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!

Those are pretty Revealing Words…! Christ Jesus will say to… “MANY”… I never knew You! Do you suppose those “People”, said they, knew God? Do you suppose they were somewhat religious…? They did good works and spoke about God, but Jesus said that “HE… Never Knew Them”…! “Sobering Words”, for you that are reading this blog. Will you wait till your ‘Funeral’, before you know for sure? You may have life insurance… but do you have “Eternal Assurance”… from Jesus…? It is too late for them… but what about You?

*** (Ephesians 5:9-10) for = the fruit of the Spirit = is in ‘all’ = goodness = and righteousness = and = “Truth”,
(Eph 5:10) Proving = what is acceptable = to the Lord.

*** (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?

Will you wait… till your ‘Funeral’, to find out for sure? “IF”… you ‘do not’ love the Word of God, the Bible, “THEN”… it is a sure sign, that you ‘do not’ Love… “Jesus, the Living Word of God!” People get angry with me when I say this, but it is exactly what Jesus said Himself. Your religion or your Church denomination… cannot assure you that your belief in Jesus is correct. That is just why Jesus said… “As the Scripture has said”… John 7:38. He, Jesus did ‘not say’, as your Church has said, or as your Denomination has said! But, as the “Scripture has said!”

*** (John 12:48-49-50) 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 [God] = 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’.

*** (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.

*** (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.

*** (John 1:9-to-14) He [Jesus] = was the “True Light”; = He enlightens ‘every’ man = coming into the world. [Psalms 98:2]
(John 1:10) He was in the world, = and the world came into being = through Him, = and = the world ‘did not’ = know Him. [Colossians 1:12-to-21]
(John 1:11) He ‘came’ to His own, = and = His own = received Him ‘not’.
(John 1:12) But as ‘many’ = as received Him, = He gave to them = authority to become = the children of God, = to those = who believe on = His name,
(John 1:13) who were born, = not of bloods, = nor of the will of the flesh, = nor of the will of man, = but were born [again] of God. [John 3:3-to-8]
(John 1:14) And the Word = became flesh, = and = tabernacled among us. = And we beheld His glory, = the glory as of = the ‘only’ begotten = of the Father, = full of grace = and = of Truth.

Simply remember… the last person’s funeral, you know of. Did that person, know Jesus, as the Scripture has said, or did they just have ‘religion?’ Surely you know enough about them, to make that determination…? Did they Love Jesus and did they Love, His Word, the Bible…? Did they spend time in His Word, learning ‘to obey’ His Word, or did they never read and practice, the Holy Word of God…?

*** (Jude 1:20-to-25) But you, dear friends, = ‘must continue’ = to build yourselves up = on your ‘most holy faith’. = Pray in the Holy Spirit,
(Jude 1:21) and = ‘remain’ in God's love = as you look for = the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ = that brings eternal life.
(Jude 1:22) Show mercy = to those = who have ‘doubts’.
(Jude 1:23) Save others = by snatching them = from the fire. = To others, = show mercy, = but with fear [of God], = hating even the clothes [their works] = stained by = their sinful lives.
(Jude 1:24) Now to the One = Who is able to keep you = from falling = and = to make you = stand faultless = in His glorious presence with rejoicing,
(Jude 1:25) to the only God, = our Savior, = through Jesus Christ our Lord, = be glory, = majesty, = power, = and [all] authority = before all time = and = for all eternity! Amen.
Do you “Only”… think about eternity when you attend a funeral? Or when you hear of one? Did that person, know God as you, now know God. Did they hold to the Word of God, as you do or even perhaps ‘not’ at all? Do you ‘really believe’, that there are more in heaven, than in hell…? Have you studied the Bible, to see what it really says, or just what your Church or Religion, thinks it says. God ‘will not’ use any other standard… but, His Holy Word. Where do you really stand, in your relationship with Jesus and His Word…? Perhaps, just perhaps, “Now is the Time?”
*** (2Corinthians 6:1-2) Since, then, = we are working with God, = we ‘plead’ with you = ‘not’ to accept God's grace = in vain.
(2Cor 6:2) For He says, = "At the right time = I heard you, = and = on a day of salvation I helped you." = Listen, = now is really the "right time"! = Now is the "day of salvation"!
*** (Romans 10:9-to-13) Because = ‘if’ you = ‘confess’ the Lord Jesus, = and = ‘believe’ in your heart = that God = has raised Him = from the dead, = you shall be saved.
(Rom 10:10) For with ‘the heart’ = one believes = unto righteousness, = and = with the mouth = one ‘confesses’ = unto salvation.
(Rom 10:11) For the “Scripture” says, = "Everyone believing on Him = shall ‘not’ be = put to shame."
(Rom 10:12) For there is ‘no’ difference = both of Jew and of Greek [Gentile], = for the same Lord = ‘over all’ = is rich = ‘to all’ = who call on Him.
(Rom 10:13) For everyone, = "whoever shall call on the name of the Lord = will be saved."

Call upon Him… before, “Your Funeral”…!
*****
"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 Test – 101”

“The Test – 101”



Out of School…? The tests… still continue ‘each and every’, moment of life. They will do so till the day we die and go to ‘one’, of two places. I remember being young and having, ‘No Fear!’ When I was in Japan, I even tried to climb “Mount Fuji”, during the winter but was not able to do so, because of a snow storm. Years later, reading about the ‘many’ found dead during the spring thaw… I was glad that the group I was with, turned back!

*** (Job 31:1) I made a covenant with my eyes; = why then = should I think upon a maid?

The Test… does not get any easier as we are bombarded by the Media with all sorts of ‘Dis-Information’. Really, we ‘do not’ need to see… “Victoria Secret”… models in their under ware on TV, do we…? Just think about the Adolescent or even the youth that see those Advertisements? The young girl thinks, “What IF I do not look like that when I grow Up?” And the young boy, “I wonder IF I will have a ‘girl friend’ that looks like, her?” Need I say anything about the Adult, both ‘make & female’… and what they think about, while watching?

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


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?”


This is a line… from one of my favorite movies. Warning, it does contain some profanity, of which I do not approve, but the story line is great! I believe that there is an organization that edits such videos and removers all the profanity. What a great idea. But it is so very true… we are all put to various tests… of character, morals, situational ethics. What would you do in the same situation? We will all be Tested… by the Word of God…! See “John 12:44-to-48” & “1Corinthians 3:12-to-15.”

*** (2Corinthians 10:3-to-6) For though = walking [living] about in flesh, = we do not war = according to flesh.
(2Cor 10:4) For the weapons = of our warfare = are not fleshly, = but mighty through God = to the pulling down = of strongholds,
(2Cor 10:5) pulling down = “Imaginations” = and = every ‘high thing’ = that exalts itself = ‘against’ = the knowledge of God, = and = bringing into captivity = ‘every thought’ = into the ‘obedience’ of Christ;
(2Cor 10:6) and = having readiness = to avenge = ‘all’ disobedience, = when your obedience = is fulfilled. [1John 1:5-to-10 & Proverbs 28:13]

Do you ‘Filter’… all that you are exposed to? These above Bible verses allow us to see how very ‘insidious’ is Satan, the enemy of our souls! If you are over 30, you probably see just how much society has changed. The word Homosexual has been morphed into Gay, to take away the moral implication that it is wrong, because God, the God of the Bible says so. ‘Pro Choice’… means that you approve of the… “Death of that Innocent Baby = in its mother’s womb!” And ‘Pro Life’ simply paints ‘one’, as a radical, Bible thumping, right wing radical? …“NOT!” In reality, that person stands with God’s Word and Truth, but ‘labeled’ by, the God ‘hating’ world.

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


*** (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.

Right after God… had given to Moses… the “10 Commandments”… the people did ‘Not’ want to hear, what God had to say. Even so today… most do not want to hear… “What the Bible says”… about any subject. Often time on Face Book and other internet posting sites, Christians will often quote ‘secular’ references and ‘not’, the Bible. How is it that those that say, they are “God’s Children”, look to ‘someone’ else, for their interpretation of Truth…? Is there any record of anyone hearing God and then dying? Rather the opposite, ‘Not’ obeying God and then dying!

*** (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."

What is your response…? ‘We will hear you and ‘not’ God, lest we die?’ I hope that is ‘not’ your response! Having read & studied the Holy Word of God, for some years, I cannot nor will not, discontinue this study. The evil of our days is getting worse and worse. Sorry to say, we here in America, parallel… Backslidden Israel… in the times of Isaiah and Jeremiah. Say it isn’t so…? Do you really believe that any human man; can fix the Financial, Social and Spiritual problems of our country or any other country…?

*** (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!

*** (Isaiah 8:20) To the Law = and = to the testimony [Prophets]! = If = they do NOT speak according TO this Word, = it is because NO light = is in them.

IF you had ‘Only’… the “TV / Video Media”… to judge any nation by, would you say that it is getting better, or worse? How do you think that society is ‘getting better’, when they so readily accept what is portrayed as normal? Just take a minute and stop and read, “Romans chapter One!” Does that sound a lot like America…? How then do you believe in an… “Economic Recovery”… with so very much debauchery among its peoples? … “IT” cannot happen… and will not happen!”

*** (1John 2:15-16-17) Do ‘not’ = love the world, = nor = the things in the world. = If anyone = loves the world, = the love of the Father = is ‘not’ = in him,
(1John 2:16) because = ‘All’ that is in the world, = the lust of the flesh, = and = the lust of the eyes, = and = the pride of life, = ‘is not’ = of the Father, = but is = of the world.
(1John 2:17) And = the world passes away, = and = the lust of it, = but he who = does the [Word] will of God = abides forever.

How then can God… the God of the Bible… ‘Bless America?’ He cannot and will not! Just as you would not approve of your mate, in an adulterous situation, so too… God will not allow His true children, to go on without reaping their approval of Sin/Sins. You may say you know God, but do you obey His Word? You that say you… Love Jesus… do you Love His Word, Too…? They cannot be separated! Christ Jesus is the Living Word, made flesh as the Passover sacrifice for all… that come to Him, on His terms! See John 7:38-39 = “As the Scripture has said…!”

*** (James 4:4) Adulterers and adulteresses! = Do you ‘not know’ = that the friendship = of the world = is enmity = ‘against’ God? = Therefore = whoever = desires = to be a friend = of the world = is the ‘enemy’ = of God.

*** (Luke 16:13) No servant = can serve = two masters. = For either = he will ‘hate’ the one = and ‘love’ the other, = or else = he will ‘hold’ to the one = and = ‘despise’ the other. = You ‘cannot’ = serve God = and mammon.

How about it…? The very next time you have to speak some, Truth or Wisdom to “Others”, why not the Word of God…? You need to do something or help someone, why not ‘obey’, what God has said in His Word, “Already?” IF you do not know, how about starting today, to change things in your life? Start with the Word of God, and correct those things, that are in Opposition to the Word of God. That is what “Repentance”… is all about. It is a, “Change of Mind… that bring about… a Change of Actions!”

*** (James 1:22) Keep on being = ‘doers’ = of the Word [of God], = and = ‘not’ = merely hearers = who ‘deceive’ = themselves.

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

*** (Romans 6:1-2) What = shall we say then? = Shall we ‘continue’ in sin, = that grace may abound?
(Rom 6:2) “God forbid!” How shall we, = that are dead to sin, = live ‘any’ longer = therein?

*** (Proverbs 28:13) He who = covers his sins = shall ‘not’ = be blessed; = but whoever = confesses = and = ‘leaves them’ = shall have mercy.

*** (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 say to you = that God is able = to raise up children to Abraham = from these stones.

About now… some will wonder what I am speaking about? How can one ask forgiveness from God for Sin/Sins… and then NOT… “Stop the Actions”… that brought about that Sin/Sins…? IF you steal and do not return what you have stolen, are you really ‘Forgiven?’ Is just saying the words and confessing them, enough? Perhaps you missed the concept of… “Restitution?” Did you even know it was there woven throughout the Bible…?

*** (Luke 19:8-9) And Zacchaeus stood and said = to the Lord, = Behold, Lord, = I give half of my goods to the poor. = And = in anything = I accused anyone falsely, = I restore it fourfold.
(Luke 19:9) And Jesus said to him, = This day salvation = has come to this house, = because he also is a son of Abraham.

*** (1Timothy 1:19) holding faith = and a good conscience, = which some = have put away = and = made shipwreck = as to faith.

*** (Acts 24:16) And herein = do I [Paul] = exercise myself, = to have ‘always’ = a conscience = void of offence = toward God, = and = toward men.

*** (Matthew 5:23-24) Therefore = ‘if’ = you offer your gift = on the altar, = and = there remember = that your brother = has ‘anything’ = against you,
(Matt 5:24) leave your gift there = before the altar = and go. = “First” = be reconciled = to your brother, = and then = come and offer = your gift.

Your “TEST”… continues, on whether you will “Obey God”, or ‘obey yourself’. IF you will ‘hear & obey’ God and His Word… or if… you will ‘Not hear & obey’, the Word of God, as those that replied to Moses? There is “NO Middle Ground!” There is “NO” such thing as ‘Partial Obedience!’ You love God and Obey His Word… or you do ‘Not’, Love God and “Not, Obey His Word?”

*******
*** (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?

Sorry, "NO"... Good Friday... Blog!

“The Third Day – 101”…Blog.



“Good Friday” or “Good Thursday”…?


Recently someone asked… about the “Resurrection of Christ Jesus”. There are several facts to be considered. Easter is celebrated by most Churches, but the nomenclature is ‘incorrect.’ Easter is in fact, a pagan holiday, with all its trappings of Easter bunnies and colored eggs and candy. Correctly, it should be called “Resurrection Sunday”. Most know that Christ Jesus was crucified by the Roman soldiers with the full approval of the Jewish religious leaders, repeatedly shouting …“Crucify Him!”

*** (Luke 23:38) And = an inscription = also was written = over Him = in letters of Greek = and Latin = and Hebrew, = “This Is = THE KING = OF THE JEWS”.


“Resurrection Sunday”… often called Easter, is also celebrated with a wrongly with a day called, ‘Good Friday.’ But herein is the problem with that… “How could Christ be in the grave… ‘Three days and three nights’… “IF”… He was crucified on Friday?” Sorry, He, Christ Jesus was ‘Not’ crucified on Friday. Again, the celebration of ‘Good Friday’ is a complete mistake. Many make an accounting error and many make excuses for time accounting counting sundown as a day, when it starts the evening.

*** (Matthew 12:40) For as Jonah = was = ‘three days’ = and = ‘three nights’ = in the belly of the huge fish, = so the Son of Man = shall be = ‘three days’ = and = ‘three nights’ = in the heart of the earth.

Most Religions do 'not' use… the ‘Bible Truth’ for their point of reference. Instead they substitute their Church teaching for Truth. Perhaps the first thing in this discussion is to see… “Who Raised the Body of Jesus?” Ask most people and they will tell you that God, the God of the Bible, raised Jesus. Most do not know that Christ Jesus said… “The He raised His own body!” Did you know that…?

*** (John 2:19-to-22) Jesus answered = and said to them, = Destroy this temple = and in = ‘three days’ = “ I ” = 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.

Many do not know this…! Often time I share this with that religion called, ‘Jehovah Witnesses.’ You see they “Deny”, that Christ Jesus is God. There are other Pseudo Christian religions that also deny these Bible Facts. His disciples understood these facts, John 2:22 and remembered His word and believed Him. But are there more verses that validate that Truth…?

*** (John 10:17-18) Therefore = My Father [God] = loves Me [Jesus], = because = I = lay down = My life = so that = I = 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 [up] again. = I = have received = this commandment = from My Father.

Since we have established… that Christ Jesus laid down His life and He Himself… took it up again. Ok but what about the difference in the… “Three days and the Three nights”… in the grave? IF He was crucified on Friday [night – one]… Saturday [night – two]… Sunday [night – 3]…? Oops…? Wasn’t He raised on Sunday Morning…? Yes He was… so He could “NOT” possibly have been… ‘Crucified on Friday.’ Ok, so what is the solution? The answer is in the Bible and… “Not in Church teaching and Tradition!” The key, is the word… ‘Preparation’.

*** (Matthew 27:62) And = on the next day, = which was after = the Preparation, = the chief priests and the Pharisees = gathered to Pilate,

*** (Mark 15:42) And it, = becoming evening already, = since it was = the Preparation, = that is, = “the day” = before Sabbath,

*** (Luke 23:54) And = that day was = the Preparation, = and = the Sabbath drew on.

*** (John 19:31) Then the Jews, = because it was = Preparation, = begged Pilate = that their legs might be broken, = and = that they might be taken away, = so that the bodies = should not remain on the cross = on the Sabbath. = For that Sabbath was a ‘high day’.

*** (John 19:42) There, then, = because of = the Preparation = of the Jews, = because the tomb was near, = they laid Jesus.

Do you know about… “The Year of Jubilee”…? Under the Law of God, slaves were free every ‘seven years.’ On the “50th year, called the year of Jubilee [Jubile – KJV] all Israel was to free all debts and all the original property returned to each person of those 12-tribes. So as the land was to lay fallow every seven years, “7-x-7=49”, there was no planting in that year. And there was no planting, 50th - in the year of Jubilee either. This day called… the Preparation… fell during the Year of Jubilee.

*** (Jonah 1:17) And = Jehovah [God] = had prepared = a great fish = to swallow up Jonah. = And Jonah = was in the belly = of the fish = ‘three days’ = and = ‘three nights’.

Forty Two times, the term... “Three days & Three Nights”… is used in the Old Testament. Each and every time, in the OT Hebrew, it strictly means, “Three Days & Three Nights!” There is no question that this was part of the prophecy that Christ Jesus… would be a Jonah, “Three days & Three Nights”… in the Earth. Lets’ do the Math…? Christ Jesus was “Crucified on the Preparation = Thursday [one-night] as He was buried before Sundown. Friday [two-night] and Saturday [third-night]… Which counts for ‘Three Nights’… in the Earth.

*** (Matthew 28:1) But late in the week, = at the dawning into = the first day of the week, = Mary Magdalene and the other Mary = came to see the tomb.

*** (Mark 16:2) And = very early in the morning, = the first day of the week, = they came upon the tomb, = the sun having risen.

The First Day of the Week… “Sunday!” The Jews ended their week on the Sabbath, the day of rest, as commanded by the Law of God. Sunday became the first day of the week, as the NT Church took it as the day of worship. Traditional Good Friday was the convenient day to start the Resurrection Sunday celebration. The Communion service is part and parcel of this resurrection celebration. As it celebrates the death, burial and resurrection of Christ Jesus.

*** (Matthew 15:8-9) "This people = draws near to Me [God] = with their mouth, = and = honors Me = with their lips, = but their heart = is far = from Me.
(Matt 15:9) But in vain = they worship Me, = teaching for doctrines = the commandments of men."

*** (Mark 7:7-8-9) However, = they worship Me [God] = 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 drippings of pots and cups. = And = many other = such things you do.
(Mark 7:9) And = He [Jesus] = said to them, = Do you do well = to set aside = the commandment of God, = so that you = may keep = your own tradition?

Perhaps now is the time… to ask you to examine what you believe about God and your Traditional Practice of your “Faith in God”. Many times, there are ‘other religious’ trappings and practices that have “Nothing” to do with God or His Word… The Bible!

*** (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 5:9-10) For = the fruit = of the Spirit = consists of every form = of = goodness, = righteousness, = and = Truth.
(Eph 5:10) Proving = what is acceptable = to the Lord,

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

“Only Two Choices – 101”…Blog.

“Only Two Choices – 101”…Blog.



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

Because people have… different opinions about ‘Life and Truth’, I must say that I see, in the Bible, “Only Two Choices!” The “First”… is the one that ‘most’ have; they simply believe what their religion teaches, what they have experienced in their churches and what they themselves believe. The “Second”… is what the Holy Word of God teaches… regardless of what ‘anyone’ else teaches, preaches, experiences or even believes! How very simple is that…?

*** (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?

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

Many times… those that call themselves ‘Christian’, have varied and differing opinions about Bible Topics. Some denominations have strayed far from Biblical teachings. Entropy has so permeated the Church and ‘believers’… that they are willing to argue and defend, their own position. Hardly do they prove their ‘opinion’, with the complete Biblical Truth. Often they will use, only a few Bible verses, ‘out of context’, to defend their personal or church position or beliefs.

*** (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.

*** (Acts 20:27) For = I [Paul] = did not = keep back = from declaring to you = all = the ‘counsel’ of God.

All of God’s Holy Word… and His Truth, is interwoven as a tapestry. The Bible is not like a secular text book where the appendix will easily display topics. Its Truth is hidden and can only be revealed, by the Holy Spirit; to Gods’ real children. One must come to God, the God of the Bible… “Only on, His Terms!” [John 7:38-39] Sorry, most Religions have their truth and discard most of God’s Truth, by their traditions and teachings. Say it isn’t so…? Why then is there a decline in believing ‘The Bible?’

*** (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.

*** (2Timothy 3:15-16-17) and that from a babe = you have known = the Holy Scriptures, = which are able = to make you wise = to salvation = through faith = in Christ Jesus.
(2Tim 3:16) All Scripture = is God-breathed, = and = is profitable = for “Doctrine”, = for “Reproof”, = for “Correction”, = for “Instruction in Righteousness”,
(2Tim 3:17) that = the man of God = may be perfected, = thoroughly furnished = to every good work.

Anyone using the Word of God… will often be referred to as a Pharisee. That is usually a sign, that the respondent, does now know, what the Bible really says. Can you imagine being called a Doctor, and never making a diagnosis? Or to be, a Pharmacist and never, filling a prescription? Or a CPA and never, doing a financial audit? How then can one, call themselves a Christian… and then “No Know”… what God Himself, says about His Truth, throughout His Word, the Bible…?

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

*** (Psalms 25:14) The secret = of Jehovah = is with those = who fear Him; = and = He will show = them = His covenant.

Again you are ‘Faced’… with the “Two Choices!” There are many Bible verses that speak of the “Fear of the Lord”. Some only want to share, the Love of God, and then leave out, the Judgment of God. The nature of God is always balanced. His Love and Judgment is always balanced with His mercy. They are ‘Siamese Twins!’ His Truth is never compromised, but is often openly ‘mocked’, by both unbelievers and Christians. You either accept… the ‘Whole counsel of God’… or you accept only some, only to your detriment.

*** (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."

*** (1Corinthians 1:10) But = I exhort you, brothers, = by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, = that you ‘all’ = speak the same thing = and = that there be = ‘no’ divisions among you; = but that you = be perfectly joined together = in the same mind = and = in the same = judgment.

This week… a Christian asked me, if I believed in “Capital Punishment”. I said ‘Yes’ and that I would, pull the switch, without any hesitation. Being a veteran, I know firsthand, the cost of our freedoms. But did God, in His Word, “The Bible”… ordain, ‘Capital Punishment for Murder?’ But of course and I will list, only some of the verses here. You may see for yourselves, what God has said. Genesis 4:8-9-10 = Genesis 9:6 = Exodus 20:13 = Exodus 21:12-to-17 = Leviticus 24:12, 17 = Numbers 35:16-to-34 = Deuteronomy 5:17. Now as for your ‘personal’ choice… you either believe God and His Word… or you believe, what the world teaches, in their political correctness.

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


There is ‘No’… “Middle Ground!” You are either on the “Lord’s Side”, as a Christian… or you are on, the “World’s Side!” You are either pregnant or you are Not! You are either dead or you are Alive! You either ‘Believe’ what God has said in His Word, “The Truth”… or you ‘Do Not’, believe God, calling Him a ‘Liar!’ It is just as plain as that! What will you then, say to Him, when we all stand before Him in… “His Judgment of All Mankind?”

*** (Luke 11:23) He who = is not with Me [Jesus] = is against Me, = and = he who does not gather = with Me = scatters.

*** (James 4:4) You adulterers! = Don't you know = that friendship = with the world = means ‘hatred’ = against God? = So whoever = wants to be a friend = of this world = is an ‘enemy’ = of God.

It takes a ‘lifetime’ continuing pursuit… to continually update your thinking processes, to know what God said in His Word. The same “Sun”, that ‘melts’ butter… and will also ‘harden’ clay. How you personally respond… to the Word of God… to the “Son of God”… will either ‘melt’ your heart, to repentance… or ‘harden’ your heart… towards God and His Word! The choice is only yours and it belongs to… “No One Else!”  Simply open your Bible and read… “1Corinthians 10:3-to-6!” Whose responsibility is that…?

*** (Hebrews 4:5-6-7) and again in this place, = "They will ‘never’ = enter My rest."
(Heb 4:6) Therefore, = since it is still true = that some will enter it, = and = since those = who once heard the good news = failed to enter it = because of their disobedience [unbelief],
(Heb 4:7) He again fixes = a definite day = "Today" = saying long afterward through David, = as already quoted, = "Today, = if you hear His voice [Word], = do not = harden your hearts."

*** (Rom 9:13) As = it is written, = "Jacob = I [God] = loved, = but Esau = I hated."

How many times… has someone presented you with the Holy Word of God, and you responded out of hostility? You of course have your ‘opinion’… and will ‘not’ accept the Word of God, the Opinion of God. Of course you will make some excuse, saying, that the person did not present it in love and kindness. That is simply your ‘excuse’, for not’… “Hearing & Obeying”… the Word of God. Do you not know, that Christ Jesus, Himself said; that His Word shall Judge All…? God told Jesus… what to speak!

*** (John 12:48-49) He who rejects = Me [Jesus] = 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 [God] = Who sent Me = gave Me = a ‘command’, = what = I should say, = and = what = I = should speak.

*** (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 mankind.
(Eccl 12:14) For God = shall bring = every work = into judgment, = ‘with’ = every secret thing, = whether = it is good, = or = whether evil.

It does ‘not matter’… what Bible subject you have ‘your’… opinion on! = Divorce & Remarriage = Sabbath Keeping = Water Baptism, = IF Jesus is God or not = Eternal Security = Tongues = and the myriad of “Bible Topics”. Christ Jesus will; as He said… simply use “His Word”… to judge… “All!” You may argue with each other, you may argue with me… but it is… The Word which will Judge… “All!”

*******
*** (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?

“Prophecy – 501”…Blog.

“Prophecy – 501”…Blog.



*** (1Corinthians 2:12-13) 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.

*** (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.

With ‘all’, the varied responses… perhaps we should continue this discussion about Bible Prophecy, the ‘forth-telling’, of the Truth of God’s Word and… ‘not’ the “fore-telling” of things that will happen. Our personal experience… “Does not”… validate the ‘Truth of God’s Word’… nor can it! The Bible is its own commentary… comparing spiritual Truth, with spiritual Truth. Can you imagine God, being figured out by puny mankind? He would ‘not’ then be… “God Almighty”… Who created all things, visible and invisible, macro and micro, and by Whom… all things continue. Some make God, much like, themselves as men, some even make Him, ‘Santa Clause’.

*** (Romans 1:22 - 23) Professing = to be wise, = they became fools
(Rom 1:23) and = changed the Glory = of the incorruptible God = into a likeness of an image = of corruptible ‘man’, = and of birds, = and four-footed animals, = and creeping things.

*** (Isaiah 55:8-9) For ‘My’ thoughts = are ‘not’ = your thoughts, = ‘nor’ = your ways = My ways, = says Jehovah.
(Isa 55:9) For = as the heavens = are ‘higher’ = than the earth, = so ‘are’ = My ways ‘higher’ = than your ways, = and = My thoughts = ‘than’ = your thoughts.

When someone says… ‘God spoke to me’, outside of His Word, they are in essence saying, that they ‘know’ as much as God, the God of the Bible. He has already said in ‘numerous’ scriptures, that His word is eternal… and that ‘no one’ can understand it… ‘Unless’… revealed by His Holy Spirit. Satan comes as an Angel of Light… “2Corinthians 11:13-14-15”… to lie and to deceive. To what would you compare… “Your Revelation”… ‘To discern’, Satan’s Lie? Lucifer, before his rebellion against God, guarded the throne of God. Now it is guarded by four Seraphs Angels. Please see… “Ezekiel 28” & “Isaiah 6 & 14” & “Revelation 12:4”. Satan too, is the father of all lies… “John 8:44”.

*** (2Peter 1:20-21) knowing this ‘first’, = that no prophecy of the Scripture = came into being = of its ‘own’ = “private” = interpretation.
(2Pet 1:21) For prophecy = was ‘not’ borne = at any time = by the will of man, = but holy men of God = spoke being borne along = by the Holy Spirit.

*** (1John 4:1) Beloved, = ‘do not’ = believe = ‘every’ spirit, = but ‘try’ the spirits = to see if = they are of God, = ‘because’ = ‘many’ = false prophets = have gone out = into the world.

Again to what… do you compare “Your Prophecy” to… ‘if not’… to the Word of God? How would one know…? “If” or “If Not”… it was from God? Even with, the new American money and all its safeguards, there are still ‘counterfeiters’. They simply wash the money and remove the ink and reprint it, even with the water marks. But they ‘cannot’ remove the security chip strip… imbedded in the paper. So too, when some say God spoke, to them something, how would one validate what was said, except by the “Holy Word of God?” Often time, I hear, God revealed to me, ‘this or that. But the Word says something, entirely different! Experience does Not, Validate the Word of God.

*** (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.

*** (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.

*** (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.


*** (1Samuel 3:21) And Jehovah = appeared again = in Shiloh. = For Jehovah = ‘revealed’ = Himself = to Samuel = in Shiloh = ‘By’ = the Word of Jehovah. [… How?]


Did you know… that all Bible Prophecy… “Fore-Telling”… is ‘not’ completed and that some of the ones that are revealed… are only ‘partially’ revealed? Jesus Christ, which means, “Messiah”, read one, as it was only partially completed. Many others are too, are only partially revealed. What do you know about the “70-weeks” of Daniel? Do you know that we are holding, in the “69th Week?” Please allow me to share ‘one’… that Christ, spoke about…?

*** (Isaiah 61:1-2) The Spirit = of the “Lord Jehovah” = is on Me [Jesus]; = because Jehovah has anointed Me = to preach the ‘Gospel’ to the poor; = He has sent Me to bind up the broken-hearted, = to proclaim liberty to the captives, = and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
(Isaiah 61:2) to preach = the acceptable year of Jehovah = and = the day of vengeance of our God; = to comfort all who mourn;

*** (Luke 4:18-19) "The Spirit of the Lord = is on Me [Jesus]; = because of this = He has anointed Me = to proclaim the ‘Gospel’ to the poor. = He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, = to proclaim deliverance to the captives, = and new sight to the blind, = to set at liberty those having been crushed,
(Luke 4:19) to proclaim = the acceptable = year of the Lord."

Christ Jesus… ‘Only Partially’… fulfilled “Isaiah 61:1-2” What did He ‘not’ fulfill…? Did you catch it in the Text…? “The Day of Vengeance of our God = and = Comfort to ‘all’ who morn.” When will these facts be fulfilled…? In the future, as Christ Jesus came the ‘first time’… to save mankind from the ‘Power & Penalty’ of… Sin/Sins! The day of ‘Vengeance’ is yet to fulfilled in…. “Revelation 20:1o-to 15”… and comfort to ‘All’ that morn… “Revelation 6:9-10-11” & “Revelation 21 & Revelation 22”. Then and only then… the New Heaven and the New Earth are revealed.

*** (Joel 2:28-to-32) And it shall be afterward, = I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh. = And your sons and your daughters = shall prophesy; = your old men shall dream dreams; = your young men shall see visions.
(Joe 2:29) And also = I will pour out My Spirit = on the slaves and on the slave women = in those days.
(Joe 2:30) And I will = show wonders = ‘in’ the heavens, = and = in the earth, = blood and fire = and = pillars of smoke.
(Joe 2:31) The sun = ‘shall be’ = turned into darkness, = and the moon into blood, = before the coming = of the great and awesome = day of Jehovah.
(Joe 2:32) And it shall be, = whoever shall = ‘call’ = on the name of Jehovah = shall be saved; = for salvation shall be in Mount Zion = and in Jerusalem, = as Jehovah has said, = and = in the remnant = ‘whom’ = Jehovah shall call.

*** (Acts 2:16-to-21) But this = ‘is that’ = which was spoken = by the prophet = Joel:
(Act 2:17) "And it shall be = in the last days, = says God, = I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh. = And your sons and your daughters = shall prophesy, = and your young men = shall see visions, = and your old men = shall dream dreams.
(Act 2:18) And in those days = I will pour out My Spirit = upon My slaves and My slave women, = and they shall prophesy.
(Act 2:19) And I will give = wonders in the heaven above, = and miracles on the earth below, = blood = and = fire = and = vapor of smoke.
(Act 2:20) The sun = shall be turned = into ‘darkness’ = and = the moon into ‘blood’, = before that great and glorious = Day of the Lord.
(Act 2:21) And it shall be = that everyone = who shall = ‘call’ = upon the name of the Lord = shall be saved."

In both of these… sections of Scripture, both were ‘Only’… “Partially Fulfilled”. How can we know that…? Simple compare… “Joel 2:30-31-32”… with… “Acts 2:19-20-21”. Has the sun been darkened and the moon turned into blood [color]…? Has the… “Day of the Lord’s Vengeance”… ‘come’… upon the Earth…? Absolutely not. What is missing…? The day of Pentecost came as promised by Christ Jesus in… “John 7:38-39!” The Holy Spirit was given to… “Born Again”… those that are, “Truly His!” Perhaps now it is time to read… “Romans 8:9” & “John 3:3-to-7” & “Proverbs 1:23” & “Ezekiel 39:29”…? Compare, ‘Spiritual’ with ‘Spiritual’… i.e. “1Cor 2:12-13!”

Many are ‘Stuck’… in the Book of Acts and choose ‘not’ to leave. Acts was a… ‘transition’ book… as was Exodus. Israel, went from bondage and slavery, to freedom and provision by Jehovah God. So too, both the “Jew & Gentile”, are offered Salvation today… by the Grace of God. No longer held, to the dietary and offering rituals of the Law, they have their freedom in Christ Jesus. Those ‘miracles’, in Acts, were only “Temporary”. Those miracles in Acts were, also to ‘Validate’ the Apostles ‘Message’… just as Christ used Miracles, to validate His message of the Gospel. See John 10:37-38…!

*** (Acts 5:15) So as to carry out = the sick into the streets = and = place them on cots and mattresses, = so that = at least = ‘the shadow’ = of Peter = passing by might overshadow some of them.

*** (Acts 19:11-12) And = God did = ‘works of power’ = through the hands of Paul,
(Acts 19:12) so that even = ‘handkerchiefs’ or ‘aprons’ = from his skin = being brought onto the sick, = the diseases were released, = and the evil spirits = went out of them.

*** (Act 5:10-11) 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 [who had Lied also to the Holy Spirit].
(Acts 5:11) And = great fear = came on ‘all’ the church = and = on as ‘many’ = as heard these things.

*** (Acts 12:7) And behold! = An angel of the Lord stood by, = and a light shone in the building. = And striking Peter's side, = he raised him up, saying, = Rise up quickly! = And his chains fell off his hands.

*** (2Timothy 4:20) Erastus stayed at Corinth, = ‘but’ Trophimus = I [Paul] = left ‘sick’ = at Miletus.

Perhaps a look at the Miracles…? Healings by Peters’ shadow, ‘works of power’ by Paul’s clothes for healings, instant death for ‘Lying Believers’, an angel delivering Peter, and yet Paul was taken to prison and then to Rome to be executed. Paul’s Apostolic healing ‘lost’… as he left Trophimus, “Sick at Miletus”. Those sign gifts… “passed on”… as the Scriptures were being completed. If you will take the time, simply read through Acts, and verify these facts for yourselves and the many instances…? What about… “1Corinthians 13:9-10”…?
*******

*** (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?
