“Which ‘Jesus’ is your ‘Jesus’ – 101” …Blog.



One quick question…? Can you handle the “Truth”… “IF”… someone told “You?”


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

*** (2Corinthians 11:4) For if someone comes along and preaches another Jesus than the one we preached, or should you receive a different spirit from the one you received or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you are all too willing to listen.

*** (Ephesians 5:9) for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and Truth,
(Eph 5:10) Proving what is acceptable to the Lord.
(Eph 5:11) And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

This morning… I opened my email to find some ‘critical’ comments about some of my postings on ‘Face Book’. Yet, they provided “NO” Scripture to ‘invalidate’ what I had posted. Can you believe someone would call me… “Mean & Critical & Angry”… for posting the “Word?” Those that are “Truly Born Again” by the Holy Spirit of God… are ‘Mandated by Scripture’ to… “Prove All Things!” Those that do ‘not’… “Prove by Scripture”… what they… “Hear, Read and Study… are in “Disobedience” to the Holy Word of God! Say it isn’t So…?

*** (Jude 1:3-4) Dear friends, although I was eager to write to you about the salvation we share, = I found it necessary to write to you = and urge you to continue = your vigorous defense of the faith = that was passed down to the saints once and for all.
(Jude 1:4) For some people = have slipped in among you = unnoticed. = They were written about long ago = as being deserving of this condemnation = because they are ungodly. = They turn the grace of our God = into uncontrollable lust = and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

*** (Acts 17:11) These people were more receptive than those in Thessalonica. They were very willing to receive the message, = and every day = they carefully examined the Scriptures = to see if those things were so.

“Don’t Believe Me – 101”…Blog. [1/2]
http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/10/dont-believe-me-101blog-1.html


Did you Know… That throughout the Holy Word of God… “More” is said about Judgment and Damnation… than about Blessings and Heaven? Those that say they… “Love Jesus”… ‘Do Not’ know this about “His Holy Word”… as they should! They listen to [pseudo] Christian music, go to Church and post opinions; on social internet sites! Very seldom do they “Check the Scriptures”… and ‘Validate’; if what was said, was “True!” Most ‘do not’ know the “Basic Bible Teachings” about Salvation, Christ and the Holy Spirit! “Most” when they present the Gospel… ‘Portray’ the Lord Jesus… as an ‘impotent’ man like us… “jesus” [small-j]. They ‘hardly ever’ portray Him… as the Judge who will not allow sin to continue!

*** (John 12:47-50) If anyone hears My Words and does ‘not’ keep them, I do not condemn him [this time], for I did not come to condemn the world [this time] but to save it.
(Joh 12:48) The one who rejects Me = and does not receive My Words = has something to judge him: = The Word = that I have spoken = will judge him = on the last day.
(Joh 12:49) For I have not spoken on My own authority. = Instead, the Father [God] = Who sent Me [Jesus] = has Himself given Me a commandment = about what to say = and how to speak.
(Joh 12:50) And I know that his commandment is eternal life. = What I speak, therefore, = I speak just as = the Father has told me."

*** (John 3:19-21) 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.
(Joh 3:20) For everyone who does evil = hates the Light, = and does not come to the Light, = lest his deeds should be exposed.
(Joh 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.

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


What “MANY” miss is this… “John 12:47… I do not condemn him…!” They ignorantly [un-informed] miss… that Christ Jesus came the “First Time”… as the Savior of Mankind! After His resurrection He became… “The Judge!” His second coming is in Judgment of this World and its corrupt systems. Today, cultural Christianity here in America… ‘does not’ want to see the Judgment of any! They make ‘all’ kinds of excuses for those that “Do Not Obey”… the Holy Word of God! They “Grace Away SIN”… and “Make License” of the Holy Grace of God! American Christians are much like the “Corinthian & Laodicea” Churches!”

*** (1Corinthians 5:1-6) It is actually reported that sexual immorality exists among you, and of a kind that is not found even among the gentiles. A man is actually living with his father's wife!
(1Cor 5:2) And you are being arrogant instead of being filled with grief and seeing to it that the man who did this is removed from among you.
(1Cor 5:3) Even though I am away from you physically, I am with you in spirit. I have already passed judgment on the man who did this, as though I were present with you.
(1Cor 5:4) When you are gathered together in the name of our Lord Jesus and my spirit and the power of our Lord Jesus are present,
(1Cor 5:5) hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord.
(1Cor 5:6) Your boasting is not good. You know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough, don't you?

*** (Revelation 3:14-17) And to the angel of the church of the Laodicea write: The Amen, = the faithful and true Witness, = the Head of the creation of God, = says these things:
(Rev 3:15) I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I would that you were cold or hot.
(Rev 3:16) So because = you are lukewarm, = and = neither cold nor hot, = I [Jesus] = will “vomit” you = out of My mouth.
(Rev 3:17) Because you say, I am rich and increased with goods and have need of nothing, and do not know that you are = wretched = and miserable = and poor = and blind = and naked,

*** (John 8:11) And she said, = No one, Lord. = And Jesus said to her, = Neither do I give judgment. = Go, and sin no more.


Entrapment - 101
http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/06/entrapment-101blog.html


“MANY” Christians today… will ‘Not’ address sin in their own lives; and “Especially” with others and in the Church. They make statements… “That is ‘NOT’ like Jesus!” “You are Critical” “We are ‘not’ to judge one another!” All such statements only show their ‘ignorance’… of the Truth of the Holy Word of God! Say it isn’t SO…? Somehow they have missed… “The Scriptures”… and ‘substituted their feelings’… for what “Scripture Really Teaches!” In the above paragraph, simply read John 8:11 and then the blog… “Entrapment – 101”. Then please answer the Question… “What did Jesus really Teach?”

*** (1Timothy 5:20) Those who sin, rebuke before all, so that the rest also may fear [God].

*** (Luke 17:3) Take heed to yourselves. If your brother trespasses against you, rebuke him. And if he repents, forgive him.

*** (Matthew 18:15-17) But if your brother shall trespass against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother.
(Mat 18:16) But if he will not hear you, take one or two more with you, so that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
(Mat 18:17) And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he neglects to hear the church, let him be to you as a heathen and a tax-collector.

*** (Proverbs 27:5-6) Open rebuke is better than secret love.
(Pro 27:6) Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
*** (1Corinthians 5:11-13) But now I am writing to you to stop associating with any so-called brother if he is sexually immoral, greedy, an idolater, a slanderer, a drunk, or a robber. With such a person you must even stop eating.
(1Co 5:12) After all, is it my business to judge outsiders? You are to judge those who are inside, aren't you?
(1Co 5:13) God will judge outsiders. "Put that wicked man away from you."

*** (2John 1:9-11) Everyone who does not abide in the teaching of Christ but goes beyond it does not have God. The person who abides in the teaching of Christ has both the Father and the Son.
(2Jn 1:10) If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your home or even greet him,
(2Jn 1:11) for the one who greets him ‘shares’ in his evil deeds.

Proper Biblical “Judging” – 101
http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/04/judging-101blog.html


About now… “You” are faced with a “Dilemma!” The Jesus you made up in your mind… is not the Jesus of the Bible and of His Holy Word! Would you call… “John the Baptist”… “Judgmental?” He told an Un-Believer… that he was living in Adultery! Why then is it so hard… for the “Christian”… to tell another ‘professing’ Christian… that they are living in “Sin?” Why is it so hard for the Christian… to tell another ‘professing’ Christian… that they are ‘Learning’ from a “False Teacher?”

*** (2Peter 2:1-2) Now there were false prophets among the people, = just as there also will be false teachers among you, = who will secretly introduce = destructive heresies = and = even deny the Master who bought them, = bringing swift destruction on themselves.
(2Pet 2:2) “Many” people will follow their immoral ways, = and = because of them = the way of Truth will be maligned.

*** (1Thessaloninans 5:21) Prove = ‘All’ things, = hold fast = to the good.


*** (Ezekiel 33:31) And they come to you as the people come, = and they sit before you as My people, = and they hear your words. = But they will ‘not’ do them. = For with their mouth = they SHOW much LOVE, = but their heart goes after their = unjust gain.

One quick question…? Can you handle the “Truth”… “IF”… someone told “You?”


Thanks, In Christ, Roger / Ezekiel 20:9.

“The ‘Christmas’ Spirit – 101” …Blog.

“The ‘Christmas’ Spirit – 101” …Blog.



What is the “Christmas Spirit”…? How ‘old’ are you…? How ‘many’ Christmases have you “Experienced”…? Can you remember the “Excitement & Anticipation” of waiting to open the presents…? You have filled your… “Emotional Bank”… with those “Feelings”… and use them to gage the ‘Christmas Spirit!’ But every Christmas… one hears of “Tragedies” in the news; soldiers being killed on ‘foreign fields’; a child cancer patient… who did not make it to New Years! All these sort of dampen that supposed… ‘Christmas Spirit’.

*** (Mark 7:6-9) But He [Jesus] answered and said to them, Well has Isaiah prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, "This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me.
(Mar 7:7) However, they worship Me in vain, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."
(Mar 7:8) For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, the dippings of pots and cups. And many other such things you do.
(Mar 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?

“Christmas” or ‘X-Mass’ – 101” …Blog.
http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/12/christmas-or-x-mass-101-blog.html


These “Christmas Traditions”… that we practice here in America; come from the European roots of our ‘Forefathers’. But of course… they have been refined; by very ‘smart’ marketing experts… to get your money… in exchange for that “Christmas Spirit!” Say it isn’t So…? When was the “Last Time”… you bought and gave a “Christmas Present”… to someone that had a real need in their lives…? How about going and working at a rescue mission or visit the “Elderly” in a nursing home on Christmas…? Or someone you have not spoken to… in over “10-years?”

*** (Acts 20:35) I have shown you all things, that working in this way we ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

*** (James 2:4-7) you have made false distinctions among yourselves and have become judges with evil motives, haven't you?
(Jas 2:5) Listen, my dear brothers! God has chosen the poor in the world to become rich in faith and to be heirs of the kingdom that he promised to those who love him, has he not?
(Jas 2:6) But you have humiliated the man who is poor. Are not rich people the ones who oppress you and drag you into court?
(Jas 2:7) Are not they the ones who blaspheme the excellent name by which you have been called?

“Slowly ‘but’ Surely”… “Christ and Christmas Celebrations”… are being ‘Removed’ and ‘Secularized!’ Today I just saw a “Susan Boil’s Christmas Video” on You Tube… without any Manger Scene… only ‘Secular’ Christmas Pictures! All references to Christmas… have been removed from the Government Properties… throughout this United States. Only Secular Christmas tokes remain… “Trees, Wreaths and Ornaments!” We are soon becoming like China; where Christmas is the second most celebrated holiday… in that ‘Pagan, Heathen Nation!’

*** (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!


*** (Hebrews 5:11-14) We have much to say about this, but it is difficult to explain because you have become too lazy to understand.
(Heb 5:12) In fact, though by now you should be teachers, you still need someone to teach you the basic truths of God's word. You have become people who need milk instead of solid food.
(Heb 5:13) For everyone who lives on milk is still a baby and is inexperienced in the message of righteousness.
(Heb 5:14) But solid food is for mature people, whose minds are trained by practice to distinguish good from evil.

*** (Jeremiah 5:30-31) An astounding and horrible thing has happened in the land.
(Jer 5:31) The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and My people love to have it so, = and what will you do = at the end of it?

*** (Ezekiel 44:23) And they shall teach My people to discern between the holy and common, and between the unclean and the clean.


The “American Christmas Traditions”… have evolved; into what we have today! The “European Santa Clause”… had a sidekick that looked like the Devil! ‘It’ or ‘he’; was used to… “Compel Compliance”… to be good and not bad! The “American Santa Clause”… brings you what you want; without ‘any’ stipulations! The Parents… “Buy” their child’s obedience; even if they have been “Bad!” The children ‘expect’ it… and ‘get’ what they want; that is simply called… “Entitlement!” That is how the “Now Adult Children”… have purchased; Houses they Couldn’t Afford… with Borrowed Monies… they could ‘Not’ afford to Repay…!

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


*** (Luke 12:57-58-59) "Why don't you judge for yourselves what is right?
(Luke 12:58) For example, when you go with your opponent in front of a ruler, do your best to settle with him on the way there. Otherwise, you will be dragged in front of the judge, and the judge will hand you over to an officer, and the officer will throw you into prison.
(Luke 12:59) I tell you, you will never get out of there until you pay back the last penny!"

We have taken… the “American Heritage of Christmas”… and allowed it to “Degenerate”… to a Secular Christmas… where “Booze” has become ‘Christmas Cheer’… instead of the “Fruit of the Spirit!” Many of the younger children; do not know the Christmas Story found in the Gospel of Luke…! Say it isn’t so…? When I was in Public School we… “All”… heard the Christmas Story and knew what it meant… even though ‘most’ were only Cultural Christians. At least there was some “Religious Piety” to Christmas… instead of the “Victoria Secret” models; clad in under ware and Santa Hats… on TV for our “Young Men”…to develop an “Appetite” for!

*** (Luke 2:1-to-20) Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole world should be registered.
(Luke 2:2) This was the first registration taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria.
(Luke 2:3) So all the people went to their hometowns to be registered.
(Luke 2:4) Joseph, too, went up from the city of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, because he was a descendant of the household and family of David.
(Luke 2:5) He went there to be registered with Mary, who had been promised to him in marriage and was pregnant.
(Luke 2:6) While they were there, the time came for her to have her baby,
(Luke 2:7) and she gave birth to her first child, a son. She wrapped him in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was not any room for them in the inn.
(Luke 2:8) In that region there were shepherds living in the fields, watching their flock during the night.
(Luke 2:9) An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
(Luke 2:10) Then the angel said to them, "Stop being afraid! Listen! I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people.
(Luke 2:11) Today your Savior, Christ the Lord, was born in the city of David.
(Luke 2:12) And this will be a sign for you: You will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a manger."
(Luke 2:13) Suddenly a multitude of the Heavenly Army appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
(Luke 2:14) "Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth to people who enjoy his favor!"
(Luke 2:15) When the angels had left them and gone back to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see what has taken place that the Lord has told us about."
(Luke 2:16) So they went quickly and found Mary and Joseph with the baby, who was lying in the manger.
(Luke 2:17) When they saw this, they repeated what they had been told about this child.
(Luke 2:18) All who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds told them,
(Luke 2:19) but Mary continued to treasure in her heart all these things and to ponder them.
(Luke 2:20) Then the shepherds returned to their flock, glorifying and praising God for everything they had heard and seen, just as it had been told to them.

Why did “Christ JESUS”… come to Earth? Why do we have the Bible…? Was it so that we could celebrate “His Birthday”…? Neither the Early Jerusalem Church or any other Christian Church… celebrated the Birth of Christ! It is a “Religious Cultural Thing!”… say it isn’t So…? Simply check “History”… and then “Check the Scriptures!” Perhaps that lifetime of those… “Christmas Emotions”… could have been applied elsewhere…?

*** (Acts 17:11) These people were more receptive than those in Thessalonica. They were very willing to receive the message, and every day they carefully examined the Scriptures to see if those things were so.

*** (Ephesians 5:9) For the fruit of the Spirit = consists of every form of = goodness, righteousness, and “Truth”.


*** (1Thessalonians 5:21) Prove all things, hold fast to the good.


About now… you and many others have been confronted with; “IS what we do for Christ… in His Holy Word; or is it just some part of our Culture…? Why did… “Christ Jesus”… really ‘Come?’

*** (John 12:24-29) Truly, truly, I [Jesus] say to you, Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone; but if it dies, it brings forth much fruit.
(Joh 12:25) He who loves his life shall lose it. And he who hates his life in this world shall keep it to life eternal.
(Joh 12:26) If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there also My servant shall be. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.
(Joh 12:27) And My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save Me from this hour? But for this cause I came to this hour.
(Joh 12:28) Father, glorify Your name! Then there came a voice from the heaven saying, I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.
(Joh 12:29) Then the crowd who stood by and heard said that it thundered. Others said, An angel spoke to Him.

*** (John 10:15-18) Even as the Father knows Me [Jesus], I also know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep.
(Joh 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.
(Joh 10:17) Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I might take it again.
(Joh 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.

*** (Zechariah 12:10) And I will pour on the house of David, and on the people of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of prayers. And they shall look on Me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourns for his only son, and shall be bitter over Him, as the bitterness over the first-born.

*** (Mark 16:6) And he said to them, Do not be frightened. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen, He is not here. Behold the place where they laid Him.

*** (Acts 1:9-11) And saying these things, as they watched, He was taken up. And a cloud received Him out of their sight.
(Act 1:10) And while they were looking intently into the heaven, He having gone, even behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them,
(Acts 1:11) who also said, Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into the heaven? This same Jesus who is taken up from you into Heaven, will come in the way you have seen Him going into Heaven.

Thanks, In Christ, Roger / Jeremiah 20:9.

“The ‘New’ Christian – 201” …Blog. [2/?]

“The ‘New’ Christian – 201” …Blog. [2/?]



“FAITH”… “FACTS”… or… “FEELINGS”…?


*** (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?

First… “FAITH”…! Your faith in God; the God of the Bible is based on His Mercy and Grace towards and to you! It is His free ‘gift’ to you and there is ‘nothing’ you can do to earn it. That “True Faith”… is in contrast ‘Works Salvation!’ The ‘Religious’… “Lie about God”… and do ‘not’ hold to the “Complete Authority” of… His Holy Word! It is and has been Only; He working in you… to open your “Spiritual Understanding” to His Word, The Scriptures. Your response, is demonstrated by… Simply Obeying His Word!

*** (Ephesians 2:8-9-10) For by such grace you have been saved through faith. This does not come from you; it is the ‘gift’ of God
(Eph 2:9) and ‘not’ the result of works, lest anyone ‘boast’.
(Eph 2:10) For we are his masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus for good works that God prepared long ago to be our ‘way’ of life.

*** (Titus 3:4-to-7) But when the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared,
(Tit 3:5) ‘not’ by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,
(Tit 3:6) whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
(Tit 3:7) that being justified by His grace, we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

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

*** (Philippians 2:13) For it is God who works in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.

*** (Luke 17:10) So likewise you, when you shall have done all the things commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants, for we have done what we ought to do.

*** (Colossians 1:27) To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

With these ‘Bible Verses’… and ‘many’ others we may see that… “Jesus did it All!” Any good in us… is simply His Holy Spirit; bringing forth the “Fruit of the Spirit” and “Obedience” in our lives! He ‘only’ works in us… as we yield our lives to “Him” and to “His Holy Word”. In contrast ‘Religion’ will always say… ‘See what I have done for God!’ Remember we live in these fallen bodies; and it is “His Holy Spirit Power”… that allows and empowers us; to do what we ‘should’ and what we ‘must’. With great ‘Position’… “Being in Christ”… comes great ‘Responsibility!’

*** (Job 9:20) If I justify myself, my own mouth shall condemn me; though I am perfect, He shall declare me perverse.

*** (Romans 5:1-to-5) Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
(Rom 5:2) Through Him we also have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice on the hope of the glory of God.
(Rom 5:3) And not only this, but we glory in afflictions also, knowing that afflictions work out patience,
(Rom 5:4) and patience works out experience, and experience works out hope.
(Rom 5:5) And hope does not make us ashamed, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit given to us.

Next… “FACTS”…! Everything in life is based on an “Agenda!” The “Agenda of God”… is to ‘reconcile’ mankind to Himself… ‘by and though’… the Finished Work of Christ! In His Redemption of Mankind; He draws ‘all’ mankind to Himself… ‘Accepted by Few’… ‘Rejected by Many!’ His Holy Word, “The Scriptures”… ‘Testify & Validate’… the workings and promises of God; through time and history! It is on the basis of the “Holiness of God”; that we can Trust Him and His Word. He ‘Cannot’… “Lie!” Please open your Bible and review the Agenda of God in… “2Corinthians 5:18-to-21!”

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


*** (Matthew 24:35) The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away.

*** (Luke 21:33) The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away.

*** (Psalms 119:89) LAMED: Forever, O Jehovah [God], Your Word is settled in the heavens.

*** (2Timothy 3:15-16-17) and that from a child you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
(2Ti 3:16) All Scripture is God-breathed, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
(2Ti 3:17) that the man of God may be perfected, thoroughly furnished to every good work.

*** (2Peter 1:20) First of all, you must understand this: No prophecy in Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation,
(2Pet 1:21) because no prophecy ever originated through a human decision. Instead, men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

*** (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.


“Jehovah God”… has exalted His Holy Word; above His Name! What does that really mean? Throughout the Bible… God uses “His Holy Name”… to reveal ‘some’ of His character, to mankind. His Holy Name… in these examples; show us that He provides ‘All’ we need… through His love and mercy towards, ‘in’ and ‘through’ and ‘to’… us!

Elohim… “God” His power and might… Genesis 1:1 & Psalms 19:1.
El-Elyon… “Most High God... Gen 14:17-20, Isaiah 14:13-14. El Olam… “The Everlasting God”… Isaiah 40:28-31.
El Roi… “The Strong One that sees”… Genesis 16:13.
El Shaddi… “God Almighty”… Genesis 17:1 & Psalms 91:3.
Adonai… “Lord”, the Lordship of God… Malachi 1:16.
Jehovah… “(Yahweh) The Lord, God’s Eternal Nature… Genesis 2”4.
Jehovah-Jireh… “The Lord will provide”… Genesis 22:13-14.
Jehovah-Maccaddeshem… “The Lord your sanctifier”… Exodus 31:13.
Jehovah-Nissi… ‘The Lord our banner”… Exodus 17:15.
Jehovah-Rapha… “The Lord our healer”… Exodus 15:26.
Jehovah-Rohi… “The Lord my shepherd”… Psalms 23:1.
Jehovah-Sabboah… “The Lord of Hosts”… Isaiah 6:1-to-3.
Jehovah-Shalom… “The Lord is peace”… Judges 6:24.
Jehovah-Shammah… “The Lord Who is present”… Ezekiel 48:35.
Jehovay-Tsidkenu… “The Lord our righteousness… Jeremiah 23:6
I AM… “The Lord Eternal”… Exodus 3:12-15.
“The God of Israel”… Genesis 33:20 and “200-times” in the Bible.

With all these Examples… do you now believe; that the “Facts of Scripture”… speak for themselves about the Nature and the Truth of God; Jehovah God of the Bible…? Most Assuredly! Remember, our English Translations of the Bible… from the OT Hebrew and the NT Greek; may not be explicit enough to completely explain God. But He… has promised to “Reveal Himself”… ‘By and Through’… “His Holy Word” and “His Holy Spirit!” See… 1Corinthians 2:10-to-16.

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

*** (Psalms 19:7-to-11) The Law of Jehovah is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of Jehovah is sure, making the simple wise.
(Psa 19:8) The Precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart; the Commandments of Jehovah are pure, giving light to the eyes.
(Psa 19:9) The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring forever; the judgments of Jehovah are true and righteous altogether,
(Psa 19:10) more to be desired than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
(Psa 19:11) And Your servant is warned by them; in keeping them there is great reward.

Last… “FEELINGS”…! Can you ‘always’… ‘Trust Your Feelings?’ Ever wonder how very many “Felt” that they were going to… “Win the Lotto”…? With a 25-million to one… chance to win? Or those “Olympic Athletes” that did not… “Feel”… like training? Or even you, when you did not… “Feel”… like going to ‘Work?’ Necessity and Prudence and Good Common Sense… made you overcome your… “Feelings!” Dependant on one’s “Age”; mental of physical “Health”; and a multiplicity of other factors… Feelings may change like the weather. We can only ‘Trust’ our “Feelings”… when they are based on… “The Facts, especially those of Scripture!”

*** (Rom 8:16-17) The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God.
(Rom 8:17) And if we are children, then we are heirs; heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ; so that if we suffer with Him, we may also be glorified together.

*** (Romans 5:3-4-5) Not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,
(Rom 5:4) endurance produces character, and character produces hope.
(Rom 5:5) Now this hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

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

“The ‘New’ Christian – 101” …Blog. [1/?]

“The ‘New’ Christian – 101” …Blog. [1/?]



*** (2Corinthians 5:17) So that if anyone is in Christ, that one is a new creature; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

*** (1Corinthians 6:9-10-11) You know that wicked people will not inherit the kingdom of God, don't you? Stop deceiving yourselves! Sexually immoral people, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals,
(1Cor 6:10) thieves, greedy people, drunks, slanderers, and robbers will not inherit the kingdom of God.
(1Cor 6:11) That is what some of you were! But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

*** (Luke 15:10) Likewise I [Jesus] say to you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.


Perhaps a ‘review’… as many that have been in Christ for a while have forgotten this…? When ‘one’ comes to Christ; we come… “Just as we Are!” He is the One; Who works in our lives, as we become ‘obedient’ to the Holy Word of God and to the leadings of His Holy Spirit [Romans 8:14]. Remember the “Will of God”… is always… the “Word of God!” “Nothing More… Nothing Less!” “How can it be ‘wrong’… when it ‘feels’ so right”…? Because God said So! Now that we are in Christ… we do not please ourselves; but Jesus!

*** (Hebrews 9:14) How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, = purge your conscience from dead works = to serve the living God?


*** (1Peter 2:1-2-3) Therefore, rid yourselves of every kind of evil and deception, hypocrisy, jealousy, and every kind of slander.
(1Pe 2:2) Like newborn babies, thirst for the pure milk of the Word so that by it you may grow in your salvation.
(1Pe 2:3) Surely you have tasted that the Lord is good!

*** (Colossians 1:12-to-15) giving thanks to the Father, Who has made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light.
(Col 1:13) For He has delivered us from = the power of darkness = and has translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son;
(Col 1:14) in Whom we have redemption through His blood, the remission of sins.
(Col 1:15) Who is the image of the invisible God, the First-born of all creation.

The first thing… that Satan does; when he loses one from his kingdom of darkness… to the Glorious Kingdom of Christ… is to get them to “Discount” their ‘profession’ for Christ. He will get them confused by bring up memories; of their “Past Sins!” He is the father of all “Lies”… and so does not hesitate, to share his ‘lies’ with them. When Christ Jesus was tempted by Satan; He simply responded… “It is Written!” The Holy Word of God… tells us ‘of & about’ our position in Christ and so we must learn… “What is Written!”

*** (Ephesians 6:16-17-18) Above all, take the shield of faith, with which you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
(Eph 6:17) And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God,
(Eph 6:18) praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching to this very thing with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.

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


*** (1John 1:5-to-10) This is the message that we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light, and in him there is no darkness-none at all!
(1Jn 1:6) If we claim that we have fellowship with him but keep living in the darkness, we are lying and the truth is not in us.
(1Jn 1:7) But if we keep living in the light as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
(1Jn 1:8) If we say that we do not have any sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.
(1Jn 1:9) If we make it our habit to confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us those sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
(1Jn 1:10) If we say that we have never sinned, we make him a liar and his word is not in us.

Forgiveness - 101…
http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/03/forgiveness-101.html


Please read this blog on “Forgiveness”…? Many that come to Christ never understand what Forgiveness really is. It has ‘Two’ parts. Positional, for ‘time & eternity’ in Christ. Then there is the ‘Practical’ practice of Forgiveness which has; confession, repentance and forsaking that sin. Those ‘Who’ do not practice these three… are sure to be “Spanked”… by God their Heavenly Father.

*** (1Corinthians 11:30) That's why so many of you are weak and sick and a considerable number are dying.

*** (Hebrews 12:6-to-9) For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he punishes every son he accepts."
(Heb 12:7) What you endure is for the sake of discipline. God is treating you as sons. Is there a son whom his father does not discipline?
(Heb 12:8) Now if you are without any discipline, in which all sons share, then you are illegitimate and not his sons.
(Heb 12:9) Furthermore, we had earthly fathers who used to discipline us, and we respected them for it. We should even more submit to the Father of our spirits and live, shouldn't we?

*** (John 15:1-to-5) "I [Jesus] am the true vine, and my Father [God] is the vinegrower.
(Joh 15:2) He removes every branch in Me that does ‘not’ produce fruit, and He cleanses every branch that does produce fruit so that it might produce more fruit.
(Joh 15:3) You are already clean because of the Word that I [Jesus] have spoken to you.
(Joh 15:4) "Abide in Me, and I will abide in you. Just as the branch cannot produce fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in Me.
(Joh 15:5) I [Jesus] am the vine, you are the branches. The one who abides in Me while I abide in him produces much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.

So “How” does one… “New in Christ”… ‘know’ what to do and ‘how’ to do it. All they need to know… is in the Holy Word of God; the Bible. It is most important… to learn ‘of’ God and ‘about’ God… from His Word. When one is “Born Again”… they are given God’s Holy Spirit… to make His Word; come alive to them. It is the Holy Spirit that ultimately teaches you… from the Word… and matures you Spiritually. Daily reading His Word… is the Spiritual Food you and I both need daily… to grow mature in Him!

*** (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."

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

*** (John 15:3) Now you are clean through the Word which I [Jesus] have spoken to you.


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


Which Bible - 101 Blog… about the Bible.
http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/03/which-bible-101.html


What about ‘your’ Heart…? That is where Jesus lives, controlling your desires and drives. When you submit to His Holy Word… so too your ideas change; about things you ‘once’ thought to be ok. This is an ongoing; ‘continual’ work of the Holy Spirit in your life. The Holy Spirit empowers the Word to change your life… from the inside… to the outside. May I say… before any Spiritual activity; Prayer, Bible Study or Worship… you must ‘prepare’ your heart to receive God’s Truth from His Word.

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

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

*** (2Corinthians 10:3-to-6) Of course, we are living in the flesh, but we do not fight in a fleshly way.
(2Cor 10:4) For the weapons of our warfare are not those of the flesh. Instead, they have the power of God to demolish fortresses. We tear down arguments
(2Cor 10:5) and every proud obstacle; that is raised ‘against’ the knowledge of God, = taking every thought captive = in order to ‘obey’ Christ.
(2Cor 10:6) We are ready to ‘punish’ every act of disobedience = [Proverbs 28:13 & 1John 1:5-10] = when your obedience is complete.

This ‘battle’ for your heart… begins in your ‘mind’. Start reading through the Bible, beginning in the ‘Gospel of Luke and then John’. As you read, the Holy Spirit will show you verses that speak to your soul. As the Living Word of God… becomes a part of you… it will change you from the inside to the outside. When I was a new Christian… I started on a Scripture ‘memorization’ program. I simply had a note book… and wrote down those ‘Special’ verses that addressed a particular area in my life. During the day, I would review those verses. Soon I found them in my mind changing my actions.

*** (2Timothy 3:12-to-17) Yea, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
(2Tim 3:13) But evil men and seducers will go forward to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
(2Tim 3:14) But continue in the things that you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them,
(2Tim 3:15) and that from a child 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 [woman] of God may be perfected, thoroughly furnished to every good work.

“Fear of God – 301” …Blog [3/3]

“Fear of God – 301” …Blog [3/3]



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

*** (Luke 8:11-12) And the [meaning of the] parable is this: = The seed is = the Word of God.
(Luke 8:12) Those by the roadside = are the ones = who hear [but refuse to believe]; = then the Devil comes = and = takes the ‘Word’ = out of their hearts, = lest they should believe = and be saved.

“Hearing”, the Holy Word of God… and “Doing’ the Holy Word of God; is ‘Not’ the same thing! Many ‘Hear’… but few “Obey!” If you have not begun to obey the Word… then it is time to examine your ‘belief’ in and about “Jesus!” Many go to Church on Christmas and Easter Sunday… and yet never “Read & Study”… His Word! Would you call that; the “Fear of God”… or just a ‘token’ belief in God? Can you “Honestly Say YOU love God?” If the Word does not change your thoughts, mind and heart… then you are not; “Truly”… Born Again by His Holy Spirit!

*** (Luke 6:46) And why do ‘you’ = call Me [Jesus] = Lord, = Lord, = and = do not do = what I say?


*** (Hebrews 2:14-15) Therefore, = since the children [humans] have flesh and blood, = He [Jesus] Himself = also shared the same things, = so that by His death = He might destroy the one = who has the power of death (that is, the devil)
(Heb 2:15) and = might ‘free’ those = who were slaves [to their passions] = all their lives = because they were terrified by death.

*** (Romans 2:15) They show that = what the law requires = is written in their hearts, = a fact to which = their own consciences testify, = and their thoughts = will either accuse = or excuse them


Do ‘You’ have a List… of what is ‘right’ and what is ‘wrong?’ That simply demonstrates that you know the difference. Many have ‘defiled’ their consciences… by ‘justifying’ their decisions and actions. But when we die… as all are; born to do… where will ‘you; spend eternity? Will you be held responsible… for those decisions? Most will certainly say that “Adolph Hitler of Germany”… and “Po Pot of Cambodia”… should surely “Burn in Hell”… for those “Atrocities!” Especially those “Concentration Camps”… and the outright ‘Murder’; of those innocents. But we are ‘ALL’… “Guilty before God”… for the ‘breaking’ His Law; and the ‘disobedience’ to His Holy Word!

*** (James 2:10-11) For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point is guilty of breaking all of it.
(Jas 2:11) For the one who said, "Never commit adultery," also said, "Never murder." Now if you do not commit adultery but you murder, you become a violator of the law.

*** (Matthew 5:27-28) You have heard that it was said to the ancients, "You shall not commit adultery."
(Matt 5:28) But I [Jesus] say to you that whoever looks on a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

*** (Matthew 5:22-23-24) But I [Jesus] say to you = that whoever is angry with his brother = without a cause = shall be liable to the judgment. = And whoever shall say to his brother, = Raca [you’re worthless], = shall be liable to the Sanhedrin; = but whoever shall say, = [You] Fool! = Shall be liable to be thrown into the fire of hell.
(Matt 5:23) Therefore = “If” = you offer [come to church to 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 [to God].

*** (1John 4:20) “If” = anyone ‘says’, = I love God, = and = hates his brother, = he [she] is a “Liar”. = For “If” = he does ‘not’ love his brother = whom he ‘has’ seen, = how can he = love God = Whom he has ‘not’ seen?


It has been “Validated”… by the Holy Word of God…. that we are “All Sinners”… and we “All” need “A Savior”… to deliver us; from both the ‘Power & Penalty’ of… “SIN/SINS! “SIN” is the ‘Root’… and “SINS” are the ‘Fruit’ of our lives. That is why “Christ Jesus” came; to redeem us… from “Ourselves” and from our “SIN!” What is the ‘middle’ of “Sin?” Simply spell the word… ‘SIN’! The middle of Sin is… “I”… “Me”… “Mine! I am in control of ‘my’ Life; ‘my’ Destiny; and all ‘my’ Choices! I did it… “My Way”… and “NOT”… God’s Way!

*** (Hebrews 10:28-to-31) Anyone who violates the law of Moses dies without mercy "on the testimony of two or three witnesses."
(Heb 10:29) How much more severe a punishment do you think that person deserves who tramples on God's Son, treats as common the blood of the covenant by which it was sanctified, and insults the Spirit of grace?
(Heb 10:30) For we know the one who said, "Vengeance belongs to me; I will pay them back," and again, "The Lord will judge his people."
(Heb 10:31) It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God!

*** (Deuteronomy 30:19-20) I call Heaven and earth to record today against you. I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Therefore, choose life, so that both you and your seed may live,
(Deut 30:20) so that you may love Jehovah your God, and that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him. For He is your life and the length of your days, so that you may dwell in the land which Jehovah swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give it to them.

We ‘All’ have and will make “Choices”… in ‘this’ life about many things. But our eternal destiny… is a choice of which we ‘shall not’; get a second chance to make. Once you are ‘dead’… your eternal fate is sealed; for “Eternity!” Those that know Christ and His Holy Word… have that ‘Assurance’ of Eternal Life. Their sins are forgiven… “Past, Present and Future!” God no longer sees them… as sinful rebellious mankind… but God sees them… “In Christ!” Jesus paid it “All”… the Spotless, Sinless, Lamb of God… took ‘our’ place… on ‘that’ Cross!

*** (Jeremiah 29:11-12-13) For I know the purposes which I am purposing for you, says Jehovah; purposes of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
(Jer 29:12) Then you shall call on Me, and you shall go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.
(Jer 29:13) And you shall seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

*** (John 10:16) And I [Jesus] have other sheep who are not of this fold. I must also lead those, and they shall hear My voice, and there shall be one flock, one Shepherd.

*** (John 10:10-11) The thief does not come except to steal and to kill and to destroy. I [Jesus] have come so that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
(John 10:11) I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.

*** (John 10:14) I [Jesus] am the good shepherd. I know My own and My own know Me,


How about “IT”… Will you ‘exchange’ your sin and your ways… for the Righteousness of Christ and His Way…? That is what Salvation in Christ is all about! God did not send Christ to condemn the world… the ‘First Time’ He came! But when He comes again… He will judge all mankind… with His Holy Word! He, God; offers you a trade… your sin for the Righteousness of Christ! Your Redemption… for the Death of Christ Jesus! Yes, it was… “Our Sins”… ‘Yours & Mine’… that nailed Him to that Cross… and He did it willingly… to Redeem us to God!

*** (John 10:17-18) This is why the Father loves me, because I [Jesus] lay down my life in order to take it back again.
(John 10:18) No one is taking it from me; I lay it down of my own free will. I have the authority to lay it down, and I have the authority to take it back again. This is a command that I have received from my Father."

*** (John 15:13-14) No one has greater love than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
(John 15:14) You are My friends if you do whatever I [Jesus] command you.

*** (2Corinthians 5:17-to-21) Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have disappeared, and-look!-all things have become new!
(2Co 5:18) All of this comes from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ and has given us the ministry of reconciliation.
(2Co 5:19) For in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself by not counting their sins against them, and he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
(2Co 5:20) Therefore, we are Christ's representatives, as though God were pleading through us. We plead on Christ's behalf: "Be reconciled to God!"
(2Co 5:21) God made the one who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become God's righteousness in him.

*** (1Corinthians 6:9-10-11) You know that wicked people will not inherit the kingdom of God, don't you? Stop deceiving yourselves! Sexually immoral people, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals,
(1Cor 6:10) thieves, greedy people, drunks, slanderers, and robbers will not inherit the kingdom of God.
(1Cor 6:11) That is what some of you were! But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

What more can I ‘say’… about the “Fear of God?” You will have life ‘your’ way… or God’s way! Your ‘free will’… allows you; and ‘you’ alone to make that… “Eternal Choice!” God will take you… “Just As You ARE!” All you must do… is simply let go of yourself… and come to Him… “Only ‘ON’ His Terms… “Just as You Are!” If you do… He will give you His Holy Spirit… to give you the Power to Obey Him and His Holy Word. His Holy Spirit will lead you in His ways… and will Teach you His Word. “All” that… and more is available to you… Only if you will leave ‘yourself’… and come to Him… “Just As You Are! … “Will–You”…?


Prayer:


Father God, I have ‘always’ wanted my own way; and have lived my life as ‘only’ I wanted. I have been told by Your Word… that You have come to set me free from my Sin and from Myself. I believe Your Holy Word… and that “Christ Jesus”, both died and rose again… in ‘total payment’ for “All” my sin. Lord I believe Your Holy Word… and I willingly… give myself to You! Make me Your child… and give me that ‘new heart’… that seeks after You and Your Word. Create in me; a new life… as I come to You, “Father”… ‘just as I am!’ I thank You, for what You have done ‘to’ and ‘for’ me. I ask this in Jesus Name and for Your Glory! Amen & Amen!

“Christmas” or ‘X-Mass’ – 101” …Blog.

“Christmas” or ‘X-Mass’ – 101” …Blog.



*** (Matthew 23:37-38-39) O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one killing the prophets and stoning those who are sent to her, how often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not!
(Matt 23:38) Behold, your house is left to you desolate.
(Matt 23:39) For I say to you, You shall not see Me from now on until you say, "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord."

Today… I want to share my 'heart' with you; about my country and my people. I was born here in America, the land of the free and the home of the brave. Our nation, once; was one that believed in God, the God of the Bible. There was a ‘national’ morality… for God, for Family and for Country. Veterans, before Vietnam, were respected people for their service to this country. Divorce was an Enigma; and there was No ‘rampant’ $4-billion annual, illegal drug problem! Most had ‘hope’ in their hearts… that life was good and would continue as such.

*** (Amos 4:10-11-11) I have sent the plague among you in the way of Egypt; I have slain your young men with the sword, and have taken away your horses. And I have made the stench of your camps to come up into your nostrils; yet you have not returned to Me, says Jehovah.
(Amos 4:11) I have overthrown some among you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a firebrand plucked out of the burning; yet you have not returned to Me, says Jehovah.

Slowly and surely… as the sun sets in the west… ‘Our/My’ … beloved nation has forgotten the “God”… “Who” has blessed us; as no other nation in ‘history’. This “Thanksgiving 2010” was the first year that most stores were open and employees had to work on that holiday! Even ‘McDonalds’ and ‘Wal-Mart’ were open that day… as were numerous others. What was once sacred “Thanksgiving”… has turned profane; as Corporations have put “Profits” before… what is the “Right thing to Do!” The ‘heart’ of the American nation has been ‘sold out’… to “Change!” But Change… to What? Yes and the ‘Consumers’… have followed suit.

*** (Matthew 16:26) For what is a man profited if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

*** (Micah 2:4) In that day one shall take up a parable against you and mourn a mourning of mourning’s, saying, We shall be completely laid waste. He has exchanged the share of my people. How He has removed it from me! To the apostate He has divided our fields.

“Christmas” was always centered… upon the “Christ Child” and that belief seemed to convey a real meaning about the Season! “Jesus” used to be… “The Reason for the Season!” But times and attitudes have eroded… to an “X-Mass”… “A Christ–Less Christmas!” Hardly anyone if ever says “Merry Christmas” anymore! It has ‘eroded’ to; Happy Holidays…! “Things & Giving”… have replaced the “Real Reason for the True Celebration of Christmas!” Say it isn’t so…? Have you even thought about “Why”… He “Christ”; came as a baby… born in a stable..? Have You…?

*** (Matthew 1:21-22-23) And she shall bear a son, and you shall call His name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins.
(Matt 1:22) Now all this happened so that might be fulfilled that which was spoken of the LORD by the prophet, saying,
(Matt 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.

*** (Philippians 2:8-to-11) And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
(Philip 2:9) Therefore God has highly exalted Him, and has given Him a name which is above every name,
(Philip 2:10) that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of heavenly ones, and of earthly ones, and of ones under the earth;
(Philip 2:11) and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

*** (Matthew 24:12) and because lawlessness will increase, the love of many people will grow cold.

Surely, we have ‘not’ grown that ‘Stone Cold’… or have “WE?” We lock our doors, turn on our alarms… and cloister ourselves in our ‘homes’… counting our goods. We take ‘no’ thought for those less fortunate… than ourselves. Perhaps this “Christmas”… go serve and work… at a rescue mission or in an outreach ministry… that ministers to those… who have “Nothing?” When was the last time you gave to someone… who had a need… that you could meet? Would you trade all the “Trees and Gifts and Celebrations”… to minister to the Ones; who have Nothing? Isn’t that what Christmas… is “Really All About?”

*** (Acts 20:35) I have shown you all things, that working in this way we ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

*** (Luke 3:10-to-16) And the people asked him [John the Baptist], saying, What shall we do then?
(Luke 3:11) He answered and said to them, He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. And he who has food, let him do likewise.
(Luke 3:12) And tax-collectors also came to be baptized and said to him, Teacher, what shall we do?
(Luke 3:13) And he said to them, Continue to do no more than that commanded to you.
(Luke 3:14) And the soldiers also asked of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said to them, Do not forcibly extort anyone, nor accuse any falsely. And be content with your wages.
(Luke 3:15) And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts concerning John, lest perhaps he was the Christ,
(Luke 3:16) John answered all, saying, I indeed baptize you with water, but He who is mightier than I comes, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to lose. He shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire,

What would it be like… or what kind of nation would we have; it if were not for the “Spiritual and Social Contamination”; that Hollywood has shoved into our minds & heats… through their media…? Surely our national ‘Commerce & Consumerism’… is driven by the “Spirit of Un–Thankfulness!” We have become ‘Addicted’… to our “Entertainment”; music, videos, toys, phones, big screen TV’s, computers and the Internet. Hardly anyone reads anymore… let alone history; to study our past failures; as ‘not’ to repeat them…! Most Christians spend more time in “Entertainment”… than in the ‘study’ of God’s Holy Word!

*** (Jeremiah 14:10-11-12) So says Jehovah to this people; So they have loved to wander; they have not restrained their feet; therefore Jehovah does not accept them. He will now remember their iniquity and visit their sins.
(Jer 14:11) Then Jehovah said to me, Do not pray for this people for good.
(Jer 14:12) When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and a grain offering, I will not accept them. But I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the plague.

“Christmas” or “X-Mass”… “You” today… need to decide “NOW”… and not put it off till Later! After I buy everything for mine and ours… perhaps then; I will think of someone else? But what “IF”… I give them something… won’t they feel bad… ‘because’ they cannot reciprocate? Not “IF”… you are giving in the Right Spirit of the Christmas Season! Isn’t ‘all’ you have… Only… by God’s Grace to you…?

*** (Luke 6:31-to-36) And as you desire that men should do to you, you do also to them likewise.
(Luke 6:32) For if you love those who love you, what thanks do you have? For sinners also love those who love them.
(Luke 6:33) And if you do good to those who do good to you, what thanks do you have? For sinners also do the same.
(Luke 6:34) And if you lend to those of whom you hope to receive, what thanks do you have? For sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
(Luke 6:35) But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return. And your reward shall be great, and you shall be the sons of the Highest. For He is kind to the unthankful and to the evil.
(Luke 6:36) Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.

Today is the “First Day”… of the ‘Rest’ of this Christmas Season! What will you do with this “Time”…? Has your “Christmas Traditions”… ‘replaced’ the Real Spirit of Christmas… when God gave “His Best”… to die for a “Hopeless”… “Sinful”… “Human Race”…? Christ Jesus, the Lord of Lords, the King of Kings… became a man; the God Man; to atone for all mankind! Rejected by Many… accepted by Few! Will He be Lord… of your Life, Heart & Mind… this “Christmas Season”…?

Thanks, In Christ, Roger / Jeremiah 20:9.

“The Fear of God – 201”…Blog [2/?]

“The Fear of God – 201”…Blog [2/?]



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

This… “Fear of God”… blog series; will take some time to explain and to understand. These blogs will first identify God… and then identify fallen mankind in their sinful condition… then show God’s solution to mankind’s Spiritual Blindness… and then show the ‘Solution’… provided by God, ‘Himself!” My prayer is that “YOU”; will ask God… to show ‘You’… “Himself”, from His Holy Word! Remember it is the ‘Holy Spirit of God’… that teaches His “Truth”… to His ‘Children!’

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


*** (1Corinthians 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.

“Without Excuse”… is the ‘perfect’ word; to ‘describe’ mankind! A ‘finite’ human being… trying to ‘dupe’ an “Infinite God”… about their ‘Personable Responsibility’… for ‘not’ recognizing God… and; Who He is… and; ‘what’ is Man’s Responsibility… to their “Creator and Sustainer!” “Excuses” will not get it… when you ‘don’t’ show up for work! Excuses will not get it… when your mate questions you about the ‘Woman’s Perfume’… she smells on you! The Police officer… will not take ‘any excuse’… when you ‘Fail’ the breathalyzer and your alcohol limit; is ‘Twice’ the permitted amount! The Government tax officer… will not take your excuses; for non-declared income and past taxes! So what makes you think that… You can ‘fool’… God…?

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


*** (Hebrews 10:28-31) Anyone = who ‘violates’ = the law of Moses = dies ‘without’ mercy = "on the testimony of = two or three witnesses."
(Heb 10:29) How much = ‘more severe’ = a punishment do you think = that person ‘deserves’ = who = tramples on God's Son, = treats as common = the blood of the covenant = by which it was sanctified, = and ‘despises’ = the [Holy] Spirit of grace?
(Heb 10:30) For we know the One = Who said, = "Vengeance belongs to Me [God]; = I will pay them back," = and again, = "The Lord = will judge = His people."
(Heb 10:31) It is a ‘terrifying’ thing = to fall into the hands = of the living God!

*** (Ecclesiastes 12:13) 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’.

“Who” do you ‘Fear’…? No ‘One’ you Say…? Did you ever ‘slow down’ after seeing a Radar Speed trap; and seeing someone pulled over? Alright, “What” do you Fear…? Can you remember “9-11”… and the terror you felt; believing that your ‘way of life’… was about to ‘end?’ Churches were filled to overflowing… by people who only had a cursory belief; ‘in & about’ God. Some months later, those ‘crowds’ dissipated; believing that all was safe. Here in America, we have become “Complacent”; because the last “Two World Wars” and various other military conflicts… ‘Were Not’… fought on the “Contiguous USA”. Although, ‘Hawaii’ will always remember… the “Attack on Pearl Harbor”.

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


Did you take the “Medication”… when prescribed ‘It’, by your Doctor? “Why”…? Perhaps you “Fear” the ‘Disease or Sickness’… and that you may become ‘worse’ and then leave you in a ‘debilitated condition’ or even “Worse–Dead”…? You will tell me… I do not Fear; the ‘Disease or Sickness’… it is just “Good Common Sense”… ‘To Obey’… your doctor’s instructions! Well… what about your… “Soul” and your “Spiritual Condition?” What are you ‘doing’ about ‘These’…? Next you will tell me that you… ‘Go to Church’… occasionally! But is Church enough to insure your… “Final Permanent Eternal Condition”…? Will you tell me; that you do… ‘Believe in Jesus?’ But believe… “What?”
*** (Revelation 22:10-13) Then he said to me, "Don't seal up the words of the prophecy in this book, = because the time is near.
(Rev 22:11) Let the one = who does what is evil = continue to do evil, = and = let the filthy person = continue to be filthy, = and = the righteous person = continue to do what is right, = and = the holy person = continue to be holy."
(Rev 22:12) "See! I [Jesus] am coming soon! = My reward is with Me = to ‘repay’ everyone = according to his work [deeds].
(Rev 22:13) I am = the Alpha and the Omega, = the first and the last [Isaiah 44:6], = the beginning and the end."

*** (Luke 5:31-32) And Jesus ‘answered’ = and said to them, = Those who are sound = do not need a physician, = but those who are ‘sick’.
(Luke 5:32) I did not come = to call the righteous = to repentance, = but sinners.

*** (Galatians 5:19-21) Now the works of the flesh are obvious: = sexual immorality, = impurity, = promiscuity,
(Gal 5:20) idolatry, = witchcraft, = hatred, = rivalry, = jealously, = outbursts of anger, = quarrels, = conflicts, = factions,
(Gal 5:21) envy, = murder, = drunkenness, = wild partying, = and things like that. = I am telling you now, = as I have told you in the past, = that people = who ‘practice’ such things = will not inherit = the kingdom of God.

*** (Revelation 21:8) But the fearful, = and the ‘unbelieving’, = and the abominable, = and murderers, = and whoremongers, = and sorcerers, = and idolaters, = and = ‘All Liars’, = will have their ‘part’ = in the Lake burning with fire and brimstone, = which is the second death.

*** (Romans 7:7) What shall we say then? = Is the law sin? = God forbid. = No, I had not known sin, = but by the law: = for I had not known lust, = except the law had said, = “Thou shall ‘not’ covet.”

*** (1John 5:17) All unrighteousness = is sin: = and = there is a sin = not unto death.

Your ‘Spiritual Condition’… is directly proportional… to your “Fear of God!” Your “Spiritual Condition”… is directly proportional… to your “Love for Jesus!” Your “Spiritual Condition”… is directly proportional… to your Love of “His Holy Word!” Your “Spiritual Condition”… is directly proportional… to your “Obedience to His Holy Word!” And the list goes ‘on’ and ‘on’ and ‘on’. One ‘cannot’ truly say they “Love Jesus”… and continue ‘practicing’… what violates “His Holy Word” and their… ‘Habits of Sin!’ “Christ Jesus” came to set us Free… from both the “Power & Penalty” of… “SIN/SINS!” Sin is the Root… Sins are the Fruit!

*** (Matthew 7:21-23) 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 practicing lawlessness!

*** (John 12:44-50) Then Jesus said loudly, = "The one who believes in Me = ‘does not’ believe in Me = but in the One [God] = Who sent Me.
(John 12:45) The one who sees Me = sees the One [God] = Who sent Me.
(John 12:46) I [Jesus] have come into the world = as light, = so that ‘everyone’ = who believes in Me = ‘will not’ remain in the darkness.
(John 12:47) If ‘anyone’ = hears My Words = and ‘does not’ keep them, = I do not condemn him, = for = I [Jesus] did not come = to condemn the world [this time] = but to save it.
(John 12:48) The one who rejects Me = and = ‘does not’ receive My Words = has something to judge him: = The Word that I have spoken = will judge Him = on the last day. [Revelation 20:10-to-15]
(John 12:49) For I [Jesus] = have not spoken = on my own authority. = Instead, = the Father [God] = Who sent Me = has Himself given me a commandment = about what to say = and = how to speak.
(John 12:50) And I know that = His commandment is eternal life. = What I speak, = therefore, = I [Jesus] speak = just as the Father [God] = has told Me."

The “Fear of God”… can only be understood in the ‘Complete Context’… of “His Holy Word!” Do you take a ‘shower or bath’…? But of course you do… that was a ‘rhetorical’ question. We all do so… to ‘Cleanse’ our bodies from the ‘perspiration and the bacteria’… growing on the outside of our bodies. Well… what do you do; to… “Cleanse your Mind & Soul”…? ‘Whom’ do you ‘Trust’ to keep your life on track? “Only Yourself”…? Surely, it is ‘Not’… the political systems of our countries. Is it not the ‘TV’ or the ‘Videos–Movies’… that lead us ‘Astray!’ ‘What’ then… or to ‘Whom’ then… do you get your focus for life…?

*** (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."

*** (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 19:7-11) The Law of Jehovah [God] = is perfect, = converting the soul; = the testimony of Jehovah = is sure, = making the simple wise.
(Psa 19:8) The Precepts of Jehovah = are right, = rejoicing the heart; = the Commandments of Jehovah = are pure, = giving light to the eyes.
(Psa 19:9) The fear of Jehovah = is clean, = enduring forever; = the judgments of Jehovah = are true and righteous = altogether,
(Psa 19:10) more to be desired than gold, = even much pure gold; = sweeter also than honey = and the honeycomb.
(Psa 19:11) And = Your servant = is ‘warned’ by them; = in ‘keeping’ them = there is great reward.

*** (John 15:3) Now you are clean = through the Word = which I [Jesus] have spoken to you.


Your next “Objection”… will be ‘HOW’ do I know I can trust the Bible… wasn’t it written by Men? To that my reply will be… “IF”… I can prove to you; the Bible is Truly God’s Holy Word… will you then… ‘Obey’… what He says in His Holy Word…? Most will not respond! If the Bible were fiction… why do so very ‘many’ discount it; and hate the words of its pages? Do you discount… “Winnie the Pooh?” Of course not…! Why then do so ‘very many’… discount the Bible when it says… You shall ‘Not’… Steal, Lie, Cheat or Commit Sexual Sins…?

“Answering Blind Faith – 101” …Blog.

*** (John 8:12) Then Jesus spoke again to them, saying, = I am = the Light of the world. = He who follows Me = shall ‘not’ walk in darkness, = but shall have the ‘Light’ of life.

*** (John 3:19-21) 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 [The Word of God] = comes to the Light = so that his works [deeds] = may be revealed, = that they exist, having been ‘worked’ in God.

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