“Please define ‘Christian’ – 101”…Blog.



Late in the afternoon… I received a phone call. It was about being, “Christian” and “Believing in Jesus” Perhaps some thoughts…? Before reading this Blog; please–would ‘you’… take a few minutes and ‘write out’… what you; “Define as a Christian?” Here in America, the term ‘Christian’ is used to describe anyone; who ‘says’ they = believe in ‘Jesus’. The “True Definition” of Christian can be only found; ‘Only’ in the Bible; and what it says about; “Who Is”… and… “Who is Not!” We ‘each’ have our own opinion; but the Bible one; is the ‘Only’ valid one. We have a national; ‘Generic’ belief in ‘Jesus’; and so then, we have a… “Social Cultural Christianity!” Christ Jesus said it best… when He said… ‘Few’… ‘Some’… or “Many!”

*** (Matthew 7:20-to-23) So = by their fruit [works] = you will = know them.
(Matt 7:21) “Not = Everyone” = who keeps saying to Me [Jesus], = 'Lord [Savior], = Lord [Master],' = will get into = the kingdom of heaven, = but = “Only” the person = who keeps doing = the will [Word] = of my Father in heaven.
(Matt 7:22) “MANY” = will say to Me [Jesus] = on that [Judgment] day, = 'Lord’, = ‘Lord’, = we prophesied [spoke about you] = in your name, = drove out demons = in your name, = and = performed ‘many’ miracles = in your name, = didn't we?”
(Matt 7:23) Then I [Jesus] = will tell them = plainly, = 'I [Jesus] = ‘never’ knew you. = Get away from Me, = you who practice lawlessness!’

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

*** (John 14:21) He who = has My commandments [Word] = and ‘keeps’ them, = he it is = who loves Me [Jesus]. = And he who loves Me [Jesus] = shall be loved = by My Father [God], = and I will love him = and = will reveal Myself = to him.

A Simple Definition:
A Truly Born Again Christian = Will… Know and Obey… God’s Holy Word! They will… “Not Deny”… Any of it, but treasure it; as Precious Food for their Souls!


Do you remember… “Barbara Pierce Bush”… wife of George H. W. Bush…? After George had left the Presidency, she said that she was… “Pro Choice” = “An Abortion Activist” = [who approves of the Murder of Innocent Babies – in their Mother’s Womb]… and She still ‘claimed’ to be a Christian? Or how about W. J. ‘Bill’ Clinton… said he ‘too’… was a ‘Christian’; and still attended Church; while… “Shame-ing America”… with his ‘Sexual Escapades’; with Monica Lewinsky! Remember John F. Kennedy and the “Whore-mongering” he did, while president? I could go on for hours… but I will not bore you. Just because ‘One’ says… they believe in Jesus; does not make it so… “With Christ Jesus = Lord of Lords = King of Kings!

*** (James 2:19) You = believe that there is = one God, = you do well; = even the ‘demons’ = believe and tremble.

*** (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.

Did Christ Jesus… “Define”… “Belief in Him?” Yes, He did… “As the Scriptures have said!” Most assuredly… it is “NOT”…joining a Church… or belonging to a “Denomination!”… That “Does NOT”; make ‘one’ a Christian! Many have ‘walked’ an aisle… in the heat of emotion; ‘Said’ a prayer… and then were ‘TOLD’… “Now, You Know JESUS!” Do you remember the “9-11” Muslim Terrorist Attack on the World Trade Centers, NYC? Do you remember how “Crowded the Churches were?” Remember ‘All’ those decisions for Jesus…? Where are ‘All’ those people… “Now?” Those were simply, emotional, ‘Fox Hole Conversions!’ Done in a moment of ‘emotional turmoil’ and in the ‘fear’ of a possible, coming death! Where are ‘all’, those people… “Now?”

*** (John 7:38-39) The one = who believes in Me [Jesus], = as = the Scripture has said, = will have = rivers of living water flowing = from his heart."
(John 7:39) Now He [Jesus] = said this about the [Holy] Spirit, = whom those who were believing = in Him [Jesus] = were to receive. = For the [Holy] Spirit = was not yet present [Acts 2:1-to-4], = because = Jesus had not yet been glorified.

*** (1Corinthians 12:13) For also = by one Spirit = we are all = [Spiritually] baptized = into one body, = whether Jews or Greeks [Gentiles], = whether slave or free, = even all = were made to drink into = one [Holy] Spirit.


*** (Ephesians 1:12-13-14) for us to be = to the praise of His glory, = who previously had trusted in Christ;
(Eph 1:13) in Whom [Christ] also you, = hearing the Word of Truth, = the gospel of our salvation, = in Whom [Christ] = also believing, = you were sealed = with the Holy Spirit of promise,
(Eph 1:14) Who = is the earnest [down payment] of our [eternal] inheritance, = to the redemption = of the purchased possession [us], = to the praise of His glory.

*** (2Colossian 1:22) And He [Christ] = has sealed us = and having given = the earnest of the [Holy] Spirit = in our hearts.

*** (Romans 8:9) But you = are not in the flesh, = but in the Spirit, = if = the Spirit of God = dwells in you. = But = if = anyone has ‘not’ the Spirit of Christ, = he is ‘none’ of His.

Answering Blind ‘FAITH’ - 101
http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/02/answering-blind-faith-101blog.html


About now… ‘Some’ may be wondering; “I never heard about this; but ‘just’ believing in Jesus?” Many just come to ‘Jesus’; to ‘get’ their sins forgiven… and ‘get’ some promises about going to heaven. They ‘still’ live like “Un-Believers”… but they use some ‘God Talk’… about knowing Jesus! They continue to… “Violate – His Holy Word”… and never think ‘once’… about what it really means… “To Live for Jesus!” They attend Church and speak ‘kind’ platitudes about ‘Knowing God’ or ‘Knowing Jesus!’ Remember those examples of the Presidents? Knowing ‘about’ Jesus… “Is NOT”… being; “Truly Being Born Again!” Many, ‘say’ they know “Jesus!”

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/10/christ-jesus-or-jesus-pbuh-101blog-1.html


*** (John 3:3) Jesus answered = and said to him, = Truly, = Truly, = I say to you, = Unless = a man is born again, = he cannot = see the kingdom of God.

*** (Romans 8:16-17) The [Holy] 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 [Jesus], = we may ‘also’ = be glorified together.

*** (1Corinthians 2:11-to-14) Is there anyone = who can understand his own thoughts = except by = his own inner spirit? = In the same way, = no one = can know the thoughts of God = except [by] God's Spirit [living in you]
(1Cor 2:12) Now, = we have ‘not’ received = the spirit of the world = but = the [Holy] Spirit = Who comes from God, = so that we = ‘can understand’ = the things [Word of God] = that were freely given to us by God.
(1Cor 2:13) We don't speak about these things = in words = taught us by human wisdom, = but in words = taught by the [Holy] Spirit, = as we explain = ‘spiritual things’ = to = ‘spiritual people’.
(1Cor 2:14) A person = who isn't spiritual [Born Again] = ‘doesn't accept’ = the things of God's Spirit, = for they are = ‘nonsense’ = to him. He can't ‘understand’ them = because = they are spiritually evaluated [encoded].

*** (Luke 4:4) Jesus = answered him [Satan], = “It is written”, = “One must ‘not’ = live on bread = alone, = but on ‘every’ = word of God.”

Do you get 'Upset'… when someone shares; a Bible verse, with ‘You?’ Do you believe that that Bible verse… is condemning you in some area of your life? IF you are ‘Truly Born Again’… the Holy Spirit… can take God’s Word… and give you the “Understanding of Application!” No, I am not saying that immediately upon being Born Again… you will have all the understanding an wisdom you need! If you have been just recently ‘Born Again’… you will need to Grow in God’s Grace; and in the Knowledge of His Holy Word. One does not give a ‘Newborn’… “A Porterhouse Steak!”

*** (2Timothy 2:15) Study earnestly = to present yourself = ‘approved’ to God, = a workman that = does not need = to be ashamed, = rightly dividing = the Word of Truth.

*** (2Peter 3:18) But grow in grace = and = in knowledge of our Lord and Savior = Jesus Christ. = To Him be the glory, = both now = and to the day of eternity. = Amen! [it is so]

*** (2Timothy 3:15-16-17) From childhood = you have ‘known’ = the Holy Scriptures = that are able = to give you the ‘wisdom’ you need = for salvation = through ‘faith’ = in Christ Jesus.
(2Tim 3:16) All Scripture is God-breathed = and is [most] useful = for teaching, = for reproof, = for correction, = and = for training in righteousness,
(2Tim 3:17) so that = the man of God = may be complete = and = thoroughly equipped = for every good work.

But “Some” have said they have… ‘Known Jesus’ for a number of years! They talk the ‘God Talk’… but when they are confronted with “Bible Truth”… they get angry at… ‘Anyone’ who questions them. “Halloween and Harry Potter”… are two ‘good’ tests… to see ‘Just’… where you stand, with Christ Jesus and His Holy Word! When you call someone a… ‘Legalist’ or a ‘Pharisee’… for sharing the Bible… that is a ‘sure’ indication of your ‘disobedience’ to God’s Holy Word.

*** (Hebrews 5:9) And being perfected, = He [Jesus] = became = the Author of eternal salvation = to ‘all’ those = who ‘obey’ Him,

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/10/christians-and-halloween-101blog.html


*** (2Corinthians 13:5-to-8) Keep examining yourselves = to see whether = you are continuing in the faith. = Test yourselves! = You know, = do not you, = that Jesus Christ = lives in you? = Could it be = that you are failing the test?
(2Cor 13:6) I hope you will realize = that we haven't failed = our test.
(2Cor 13:7) We pray to God = that you will not do anything wrong = not to show that we have not failed the test, = but so that you may do = what is right, = even if we seem to have failed.
(2Cor 13:8) For we cannot = do anything against = the Truth, = but only = for the Truth.

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

“End of the ‘World’ predictions–101”…Blog.

“End of the ‘World’ predictions–101”…Blog.



*** (Matthew 24:36) But = of that day = and hour = “No” = one knows, = “No”, = “Not” = the angels of Heaven, = but = “ONLY” = My [Jesus] = Father [God].

Recently, and as in the past… there have been ‘Many’ predictions; about the End of the Age. Family Radio, based in California has already predicted the ‘End’; 5-times and has said it will come again in ‘2011’. Did you ‘read’, in the above verse… ‘Christ Jesus’… “Does NOT”; even say that He knew the hour… “ONLY” the Father…? There have been “Numerous False Predictions”… throughout the ages. As a new Christian, I even remember back, in the 70’s… there was quite a ‘few’ such False Claims… by some big name preachers. The ‘picture’ with this blog is an example!

*** (Matthew 24:24) For = false Christs’ = and false prophets = will arise = and show great signs and wonders [miracles]; = so much so that, = if it were possible, = they would deceive = even the elect.

*** (2Peter 2:1-2) But there were also = false prophets among the people, = even as there will be = false teachers among you, = who secretly will bring in = destructive heresies, = even denying the Master who bought them, = bringing on themselves swift destruction.
(2Pet 2:2) And = “MANY” = will follow their pernicious ways, = and = because of them = the way of Truth = will be evil spoken of. [mockers will say – you said He was coming and did not]

*** (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.

How about “You”…? Do you believe that ‘You Tube Video’…? Or that ‘preacher’ you hear about; who made those predictions…? Or how about that, “Secular” teaching about the ‘Mayan Calendar’; that the world will end in 2012…? Did you read those ‘above’ Bible verses…? There were “False Teachers” over 2,000 years ago; do you think there will be… ‘more or less’ Now…? Do you… ‘Search the Scriptures’… to see if, that teaching is valid; or ‘Not’…? Remember the “Elect”… will ‘Not’… be taken in by, such… “Lies!”

Did you see the “IF”… caveat of “Luke 16:31”… “IF” they Do ‘NOT’ = Hear; Moses and the Prophets?” There are ‘Many’ prophecies in the OT, about Christ’s return; and what it will be like. Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel… but also in the minor [smaller OT books] also. What about the… “70-weeks of Daniel?” Did you know that we are ‘Holding’… in the 69th week; because the “Messiah”, was promised then; and that was “Over 2,000–years ago”; when ‘He’ = “Christ Jesus”, came!

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

*** (1John 2:21) I have not written to you = because = you do not know = the “Truth”, = but because you know it, = and = know that = “No Lie” = is = of = “The Truth”.

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

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

Recently I even wrote to… ‘One’ of those; posting that “Wrong Information about the End” and asked him; “Do you really ‘Believe’ that? His ‘affirmative’ answer was followed by my comment… “IF”… ‘You really believe that Christ, is coming back in ‘2011’… Why don’t ‘You’… “Deed to me your “House” and “Vehicle?” He would ‘Not’ respond...! Do you even wonder… “Why such ‘people’ say something… that they “Will Not”… back up; with their “Real Property?”

*** (2Timothy 3:13) But = evil men = and = seducers = will go forward = to ‘worse’, = ‘deceiving’ = and = ‘being deceived’.

*** (2Chronicles 18:19-to-22) And Jehovah said, = Who shall tempt Ahab king of Israel = so that he may go up = and fall = at Ramoth-gilead? = And one spoke saying in one way, = and another saying in another way.
(2Ch 18:20) And a spirit = came out = and stood before Jehovah and said, = I will tempt him. = And Jehovah said, = With what?
(2Ch 18:21) And he said, = I will go out and be a = “lying spirit” = in the mouth = of all his [false] prophets. = And Jehovah said, = You shall tempt him, = and you are able. = Go out and do so. [God gave that lying spirit – permission to do so]
(2Ch 18:22) And now behold, = Jehovah has [aloud] put = a lying spirit = in the mouth of these your [false] prophets, = and Jehovah has spoken evil against you.

Those that are “Deceived”… have done so; ‘Because’ = they have “Rejected the Word”, and the “Truth of the Lord!” Many people “Never”… ‘Read & Study’… their Bible; let alone look at the Hebrew OT and the Greek NT and compare the verses…! They know ‘nothing’; nor ‘want’ to; of ‘how’ the OT Prophecies… relate to their NT fulfillment! And of those… “Yet to be Fulfilled!” They follow ‘this’ teacher and ‘that’ teacher… and yet; “Never” Study the Word for themselves… Asking the Holy Spirit to teach them!

*** (John 14:26) But the Helper, = the Holy Spirit, = Whom the Father [God] = will send in My [Jesus] name, = will teach you all things = and remind you = of all that I have told you.

*** (2Timothy 2:15) Do your best = to present yourself = to God = as an approved worker = who has nothing to be ashamed of, = handling = the Word of Truth = with 'precision'.

*** (2Timothy 3:15-to-17) From a child = you have known = the Holy Scriptures = that are able to give you = the wisdom you need for salvation = through faith in Christ Jesus.
(2Tim 3:16) All Scripture = is God-breathed = and is useful = for teaching, = for reproof, = for correction, = and for training in righteousness,
(2Tim 3:17) so that = the man of God = may be complete = and = thoroughly equipped = for every good work.

*** (James 1:5-6-7) Now = if any of you = lacks wisdom, = he should ask God, = Who gives to everyone generously = without a rebuke, = and it will be given to him.
(Jas 1:6) But he = must ask in faith, = without any doubts, = for the one who has doubts = is like a wave of the sea = that is driven and tossed = by the wind.
(Jas 1:7) Such a person = should = not expect = to receive anything = from the Lord.

About now… you can see that those; that are taken in by “False Teaching”; Do “Not” ‘Read’ & ‘Study’… the Holy Word of God. They do “NOT” ask God for wisdom about His Word; “Nor” do they ask the Holy Spirit… to teach them from the “Holy Word of God!” It is my belief that they ‘do not’… even know “Basic–Bible Doctrine”… about Salvation by Grace and its Permanency; … about Forgiveness, ‘positional’ and ‘experiential’; …and even the basics about Prayer. Sorry NO… I am not ‘accusing’ = nor am I ‘excusing’ their actions… just stating; the “Facts!” How else could they be taken is such… ‘End’ of the world… “Error?”

*** (Hebrews 5:8-9) Son [of God] though He was, = He = learned obedience = through His sufferings
(Heb 5:9) and, = once made perfect, = He [Jesus] = became the Author of = eternal salvation = for all = who obey Him,

*** (Psalms 66:18) If = I regard iniquity = in my heart, = Jehovah [God] = will not = hear me;

*** (1Peter 4:17-18) For the time has come = for the judgment = to begin from [at] = the house of God. = And if it = ‘first’ = begins from us, = what will be ‘the end’ of those = disobeying the gospel of God?
(1Pet 4:18) And = if = the righteous one = is scarcely saved, = where = shall the ungodly = and = the sinner appear?

*** (2Corinthians 13:5-to-8) Keep examining yourselves = to see whether = you = are continuing = in the faith. = Test yourselves! = You know, = do not you, = that = Jesus Christ lives in you? [Romans 8:9] = Could it be = that you = are failing the test?
(2Cor 13:6) I hope you will realize = that we haven't failed = our test.
(2Cor 13:7) We pray to God = that you will = not do anything wrong = not to show that we have not failed the test, = but so that = you = may do what is right, = even if we seem to have failed.
(2Cor 13:8) For we cannot = do anything = against the Truth, = but only = for the Truth.

*** (John 14:6) Jesus said to him, “I am the Way, = the Truth, = and = the Life [Eternal]. = No one = comes to the Father [God] = except through Me [Jesus].

My "Prophecy" about this Election - 101

“The ‘Silent’ Christian – 101”…Blog.



Because of the ‘Election’… there have been ‘Many Christians’ arr speaking out about Which Party & Which Candidate to Vote For…! Each one has their “Agenda”… and hopes that God will restore our nation, to its former stance. Sorry to inform you, that will “NOT” Happen! Please don’t turn me off… but God gave use… the Leader we “Deserved!” Our sinful, “Abortion Driven”; Money Driven; Fun & Entertainment Driven… country was ‘bound’ for its own destruction.

*** (Daniel 4:17) This matter is by the decree of the watchers, = and the demand by the Word of the Holy Ones, = so that = the living may know = that the Most High [God] = ‘rules’ in the ‘kingdom’ of men, = and ‘gives’ it = to ‘whomever’ = He will, = and sets up ‘over’ it = the ‘lowest’ of men.

*** (Luke 13:1-to-5) And some were present at the same time reporting to Him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
(Luke 13:2) And answering, = Jesus said to them, = Do you suppose that these Galileans = were sinners = above all the Galileans = because = they suffered such things?
(Luke 13:3) I [Jesus] tell you, No. = But unless you Repent, = you will = all = likewise perish.
(Luke 13:4) Or those eighteen = on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, = do you think that they were sinners = above all men = who lived in Jerusalem?
(Luke 13:5) I [Jesus] tell you, No. = But unless you Repent, = you will all likewise perish.

Repentance – 101 [1/6]
http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/09/repentance-101blog-1.html


“Never”, in the Bible… did God; the God of the Bible… bring deliverance… “Without Repentance!” Some of the ‘Foolish’… simply believe that… Voting the right party or the right candidate into office… will “Fix” our national problems. Somehow they ‘cannot’ see the “Big Picture!” The moral base of our Nation… has “Eroded”… to PC [Political Correctness]. The Bible and Prayer and God… are slowly being; “Totally Eliminated”… from our culture. Our nation is like those… “Tourists”… Sitting on ‘deck chairs’… on the Titanic!

*** (Amos 4:9-10-11) I [God] have stricken you with blasting and mildew. = When your gardens and your vineyards, and your fig trees, and your olive trees increased, = the creeping locust devoured them; = yet you have ‘not’ returned to Me, = says Jehovah [God].
(Amos 4:10) I have sent the plague among you = in the way of Egypt; = I have slain your young men with the sword [war], = 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 [God].
(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 [God].

Positive ‘thinking’ for Revival – 101
http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/10/positive-thinking-for-revival-101blog.html


“IF” Only… those Christians, those Truly Born Again… by the Holy Spirit of God = had obeyed God’s Holy Word; we would ‘not’ be in this state. To get out of ‘Any Situation’… One needs to know where they ‘Started From?’ Many ‘do not’ understand that America; is… “NOT”… A Christian Nation; and “Never Was!” Nations ‘cannot’ be Christian… “Only People” = can be Born Again = by the Holy Spirit of God! Our nation was founded, “Only” on ‘Some Christian Principles’… and “NOT”… on the Holy Word of God; as was the Nation of God’s People… “Israel!” Many think that Christianity… is a “Fix All”… for ‘all’ problems. “It is NOT!” Only the Holy Word of God… is out pattern for “Life, Living & Salvation”… in the “Finished Work” of Christ Jesus, the Savior for… “All” Mankind… ‘regardless’ of Nationality or Country!

*** (Isaiah 29:13) And Jehovah [God] said, = Because = this people draw near Me with their mouth, = and with their lips honor Me, = but have removed their heart = far from Me, = and = their fear toward Me [God] = is taught = by the command of men;

*** (Matthew 15:7-8-9) Hypocrites! = Well did Isaiah prophesy = of you, saying,
(Matt 15:8) "This people draws near to Me 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."

*** (Genesis 4:10) And = He [God] said, = What have you [Cain] done? = The voice = of your brother's [Able] blood = cries [out] to Me [God] = from the ground.


*** (Proverbs 14:34) Righteousness = lifts up a nation, = but “SIN” = is a shame = to “ANY” people.


Here in ‘America’… we have ‘Substituted’… the “Holy Word of God”… with… “Platitudes of Semi–Morality” Say it isn’t So…? In the last two years… those Christians… have complained more about ‘The President’; ‘The Economy’; ‘The Employment Situation’; even about the Muslim mosque near Ground Zero;… Than They HAVE… About the Over 55,000,000 – Million… Innocent Babies… “MURDRED”… by their American Mothers; in their Wombs! How “MANY”–‘Christians’… have spoken out for these… “INNOCENT”– “MURDERED”–“BABIES…?

*** (Matthew 12:37) For = by ‘your’ words = you shall be justified, = and by ‘your’ words = you shall be condemned. [Or lack thereof = Ezekiel 2:28-to-21 “Warning?]


And NOW… you simply think… that going to the Voting Polls… will “Miraculously–FIX”… our entire national ‘Problems’…? … “Absolutely” = “NOT!” ‘Many’ have put on, “Moral Blinders”… and… “Simply Refused to Speak OUT”… Against “Wrong & Evil!” “First”… in the “Christians”… and then… “With our Nation!” Say it isn’t So…?

*** (Isaiah 5:20) Woe [warning] 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!


*** (1Peter 4:17-18) For the time has come = for the judgment = to begin = from the house of God. = And = if = it first begins from us, = what will be the end = of those = disobeying = the gospel of God?
(1Pet 4:18) And = if = the righteous one = is scarcely saved, = where shall the ungodly = and the sinner appear?

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

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

*** (1Corinthians 6:1-2-3) [How] Do any of you Dare, = when you have a matter against another [Christian], = to go to law [courts] = before the unjust, = and = not before the saints?
(1Cor 6:2) Do you not know = that the saints shall judge the world? = And if the world = shall be judged by you, = are you unworthy = to judge the smallest matters?
(1Cor 6:3) Do you not know = that we shall judge angels, = not to mention = the things of this life?

*** (Matthew 18:15-to-18) 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.
(Matt 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.
(Matt 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.
(Matt 18:18) Truly I [Jesus] = say to you, = Whatever you shall bind on earth = shall occur, = having been bound in Heaven; = and whatever you shall loose on earth = shall occur, = having been loosed in Heaven.

Please, ‘don’t’ tell me… that you ‘still believe’… that the “Voting Booth”… is the place to “Turn Around our Nation”…? What “MOST”… do not realize… is that through “Judicial Tyranny”… many of our laws have been… “Stuck Down!” When we have an Presidential Appointment and the Rationalization and Acceptance by the Congress… Of a Non–Judicial person to the Supreme Court… How then can the Legislative branch of our government… be effective…? It Can’t! Surely “NONE” of those bills…. “Struck down by Judicial Tyranny”… have ‘EVER’ been overturned by a… “2/3” Vote of the Legislators!

*** (Proverbs 14:15) The ‘Simple’ = believes = every word, = but the wise man = watches his step.


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


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

*** (Luke 13:3-4-5) I [Jesus] tell you, No. = But unless you Repent, = you will = all = likewise perish.
(Luke 13:4) Or those eighteen = on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, = do you think that they were sinners = above all men = who lived in Jerusalem?
(Luke 13:5) I [Jesus] tell you, No. = But unless you Repent, = you will all likewise perish.

“How do I know that the Bible”…? – 101 Blog.

“How do I know that the Bible”…? – 101 Blog.



…Was inspired by God…? There is no concrete proof anywhere! It was written and inspired by men. How do I know that Jesus is really the Messiah? Have you seen God before? I sure haven't. Where's the real proof? = Recently a ‘friend’ of mine; sent me these questions. ‘Many’ before him, through history; have asked the same “Questions!” Perhaps these answers may help you and others, understand about God, the God of the Bible…?

*** (Jeremiah 29:11-12-13) For I know the purposes = which I am purposing for you, = says Jehovah [God]; = 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.

GOD will ‘Not’… reveal Himself to those; that are… “Purposely ‘NOT’ Looking for Him!” The “True Searcher”… has this ‘Promise’ from God Himself: “Seek Me and you will find me… when you search for me… with all your heart!” God has used the complexity of design… to display His workings ‘in and through’ “Creation!” Your computer has a creator… it just did ‘not’ evolve… over the years. With ‘all’ design… there is also a ‘designer’. We have both a “Macro Universe” and a “Micro Universe’. A ‘Telescope’ and a ‘Microscope’… will reveal these ‘both’ to anyone who is ‘Really’ searching!

*** (Psalms 19:1-2-3) To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. = The heavens declare = the glory of God; = and the expanse = proclaims His handiwork.
(Psalms 19:2) Day to day = pours forth speech, = and night to night = reveals knowledge.
(Psalms 19:3) There is no speech = nor are there words; = their voice [witness] is not heard.

Perhaps, if you will… provide me the liberty; I will ‘play’ the other side of the coin…? Do you hate… “Pink Elephants?” Of course not; because there are “NO”, such things! The Bible, God’s book is… “Hated”… by more people… than ‘Any’ other book. “IF”… God were ‘not’ real… and “His words ‘not’ Truth”… “THEN”… ‘Why’ then all the… “Animosity & Hate” = “Towards”… just ‘Another’ –“Book”…? Most of the people that… “Hate the Bible”… are ‘violating’ one or more of the precepts; found in its pages. Some will even go so far as… to ‘negate’ it and; say there is “NO Truth”… in its pages! Those ‘same’ people… will say that “Hitler”… belongs in Hell: But ‘they’ don’t!

*** (2Peter 1:19-20-21) We also = have a more sure Word of prophecy, = to which = you do well to take heed, = as to a light = that shines in a dark place, = until the day dawns = and the Daystar [Holy Spirit] = arises in your hearts,
(2Pet 1:20) 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.

*** (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.

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

In these Verses… and others; God is validating; ‘His’ responsibility for “His Holy Word!” He says holy men… spoke as they were ‘inspired’ by the Holy Spirit. There are some ‘technical’ aspects of the Bible’s original languages. “Hebrew”, for the Old Testament; and “Greek” for the New Testament. Our ‘English Language’ translations were made from those texts. The Bible texts… are more ‘validated’… than any of ‘other’ antiquated writings. The “Codex’s” of the manuscripts are still available and even the “Dead Sea Scrolls… validate these ‘Codex’s”. Below are two internet links; one my blog on some of the ‘technical’ aspects of the Bible and the other a Codex link. You may Google more!

*** (Titus 1:15) To the pure all = things are pure. = But to those = who are defiled = and unbelieving = ‘nothing’ is pure, = but even their mind = and conscience = is defiled.

*** (Jude 1:17-18-19) But you, beloved, = remember the words spoken before = by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
(Jude 1:18) because they told you = that at the last time = there will be = mockers = according to their lusts, = leading ungodly lives.
(Jude 1:19) These are those = setting themselves apart, = animal-like ones, = not having the [Holy] Spirit.

There are “Two Types” of ‘Skeptics’…! ‘One’, will ‘Not’ believe… even though they are shown; ‘more’ than enough “Evidence!” They are the ‘biggest’ mockers of the Bible. The ‘Other’ is an ‘Honest’ seeker… who will do a search on his own. Such as, was the Civil war Military “Agnostic”; Lewis ‘Lew’ Wallace, 1827-to-1905. Perhaps you heard of his novel, made into a movie… “Ben Hur”…? He went forth to… “Disprove” Jesus and the Bible. After an “Honest Search”… he came to Faith in Christ!

*** (Isaiah 28:13) But the Word of Jehovah [God] = was to them = precept on precept, = precept on precept; = line on line, = line on line; = here a little, = there a little; = that they might go, = and fall backward, = and be broken = and snared = and taken.

*** (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?

Just who, are “YOU”…? Did you just ‘happen’ to be here, and in a particular family” How about your health or your wealth, or the absence of them? What country do you live in, and how is it you live there? Did you relatives come here; from another continent…? How is it… that you have come… “Not to Believe in God…?” That is a far more ‘pressing’ question! Something has happened; to either draw you ‘to’ God… or ‘away’ from Him? Just to “WHOM”… do you really belong to…? Do you have a 'real' puropose in Life?

*** (Romans 1:16-to-22) For I am not ashamed of = the gospel of Christ, = for it is the power of God = unto salvation = to everyone who believes, = to the Jew first = and also to the Gentile.
(Rom 1:17) For in it = the righteousness of God = is revealed = from faith to faith, = as it is written, = "The just shall live by faith."
(Rom 1:18) For the wrath of God = is revealed from Heaven = against ‘all’ ungodliness = and unrighteousness of men, = who ‘suppress’ = the Truth = in unrighteousness,
(Rom 1:19) because the thing = which may be known of God = is ‘clearly’ revealed within them, = for God revealed it = to them.
(Rom 1:20) For = the unseen things of Him = from the creation of the world = are clearly seen, = being realized = by the things that are made, = even His eternal power and Godhead, = for them to be = without excuse.
(Rom 1:21) Because, = knowing God, = they did not glorify Him as God, = neither were thankful. = But they became vain = in their imaginations, = and their foolish heart = was darkened.
(Rom 1:22) Professing to be wise, = they = became fools

“Whose” am I… or “Who”… am I

I can do ‘no’ more… for you. You must make the ‘choice’… to either; seek “Honestly”… and find God or continue in your ‘unbelief’. That choice comes from your “Free Will!” Without that ‘free will’… mankind would just be a puppet on a string. But with “Free Will”… comes the ability either to “Love God”… or to turn away from God. He loves you, as His creation, ‘just’ that much… to ‘give’ you… that “Choice!” And yet now… you want to “Blame Him”… for your free will?

*** (1John 4:19) We = love Him = because = He = first loved us.

*** (John 1:9) He [Jesus] was the true Light; = He enlightens = every man = coming into the world.

*** (John 3:16-to-21) For God = so loved the world = that He = gave His only-begotten Son [Christ Jesus], = that whoever believes in Him = should not perish = but = have everlasting life.
(John 3:17) For God did not = send His Son into the world [this time] = to condemn the world, = but so that the world = might be saved = through Him.
(John 3:18) He who believes on Him = 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.
(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.

Oh yes… one more thing? You questioned if Christ Jesus was the Messiah of God? There are hundreds OT Biblical prophecies… that were fulfilled by Christ; as the Messiah. Others will be fulfilled before, the end of the Age. Here are just a few… the rest you may find on your own… “If” … you will only, honestly do your Biblical research…? Have you ever read the Bible for yourself, or have you only taken what ‘others’ have said?  Oh yes, the word “Christ”, means "Messiah", the Anointed One. It is the “Title” of Jesus, demonstrating both His Position and His Name!

*** (Isaiah 9:6-7) For to us a Child is born, = to us a Son is given; = and the government shall be on His shoulder; = and His name shall be called = Wonderful, = Counselor, = The mighty God, = The everlasting Father, = The Prince of Peace.
(Isa 9:7) There is no end = of the increase of His government = and peace on the throne of David, = and on His kingdom, = to order it = and to establish it = with judgment = and with justice from now on, = even forever. = The zeal of Jehovah [God] of Hosts will do this.

*** (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.

*** (Isaiah 7:14) So, = the Lord Himself = shall give you a sign. = Behold, = the virgin = will conceive = and shall bring forth a son, = and they shall call His name = Immanuel.

*** (Matthew 1:20-to-25) And as he thought upon these things, = behold, = the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, = saying, Joseph, = son of David, = do not fear to take to you Mary as your wife. = For that in her is fathered of the Holy Spirit.
(Matt 1:21) And she shall bear a son, = and you shall call His name = JESUS: = for He shall save His people = from their sins.
(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.
(Matt 1:24) And Joseph, = being roused from sleep, = did = as the angel of the Lord = commanded him and took his wife,
(Matt 1:25) and = did not = know her [carnal knowledge] = until she bore her son, = the First-born. = And he called His name = JESUS.

“What is a ‘Pagan’ – 101”…Blog.

“What is a ‘Pagan’ – 101”…Blog.



In the ‘broadest’ sense of the word… any one that is “Anti–Christian”. But to accurately define the Word… one must ‘Qualify’ the word… “Christian!” Today “Many” when polled, simply call themselves ‘Christian’. But the Bible defines Christian… as one that is Truly Born Again… by the Holy Spirit of God. They are “Sealed”… by that Holy Spirit… till the redemption of the Body at the Day of Judgment of All Mankind. Simply read Revelation 20:10-to-15! Oh yes… one more caveat… Many JW’S’ and Mormons; and Others… call themselves Christians but “Do Not” use the purest Biblical interpretation.

*** (Ephesians 1:7-to-14) In Him [Jesus] = we have redemption = through His blood, = the forgiveness of sins, = according to the riches of His grace,
(Eph 1:8) which He caused = to abound toward us = in all = wisdom and understanding;
(Eph 1:9) having made known to us = the mystery of His will, = according to His good pleasure = which He purposed in Himself,
(Eph 1:10) for an administration of the fullness of times, = to head up = all things in Christ, = both the things in Heaven, = and the things on earth, = even in Him,
(Eph 1:11) in Whom also = we have been chosen = to an inheritance, = being predestinated = according to the purpose of Him = Who works all things = according to the counsel = of His own will,
(Eph 1:12) for us = to be to = the praise of His glory, = who previously = had trusted in Christ;
(Eph 1:13) in Whom also you, = hearing the Word of Truth, = the gospel of our salvation, = in Whom also believing, = you were sealed = with the Holy Spirit of promise, [John 7:38-39]
(Eph 1:14) Who is = the earnest of our inheritance, = to the redemption = of the purchased possession, = to the praise of His glory.

“MANY” who call themselves Christian… ‘wrongly’ believe that America is a Christian Nation. “No Nation”… can be called ‘Christian!’ Nor will they ever Be… because “Only” a person, can be Born Again! No nation can be “Born Again”… because Christ Jesus said to People… not to nation… “You must be Born Again”–John 3. Once again… ‘some’ may ask, “Why are you being so Specific…?” Wasn’t Jesus ‘specific’… when He spoke about… ‘Belief in Him?’ “MANY” say they “Believe in Jesus”… but further still… “MANY” do not Live Like… they really do!

*** (John 3:5-6-7) Jesus answered, = Truly, = truly, = I say to you, = Unless a man = is born of water and the Spirit, = he cannot enter = into the kingdom of God.
(John 3:6) That which is = born of the flesh is flesh, = and that which is = born of the Spirit is spirit.
(John 3:7) Do not marvel = that I said to you, = You ‘must’ be born again.

*** (John 7:37-38-39) And in the last day of the great feast, = Jesus stood = and cried out, saying, = If anyone thirsts, = let him come to Me = and drink.
(John 7:38) He who believes on Me [Jesus], = as the Scripture has said, = "Out of his belly = shall flow rivers of living water."
(John 7:39) But = He spoke this = about the [Holy] Spirit, = which they = who believed on Him = should receive; = for the Holy Spirit = was not yet given, = because Jesus was not yet glorified.

*** (Romans 8:9) But you = are not in the flesh, = but in the Spirit, = if = the Spirit of God = dwells in you. = But if ‘anyone’ = has ‘not’ = the Spirit of Christ, = he is “none” of His.

Did you read… how “Specific” – Christ Jesus was when He said… “As the Scriptures have Said?” “MANY” have been told by their Churches that they were Christians, because they were Water Baptized. Being “Born Again”… means being “Born from Above – by the Holy Spirit of God!” Surely water could ‘not’ do this! God’s salvation in Christ Jesus is as… “The Scriptures have said”… and ‘not’ as some “Denomination or Church”, has told you. “MANY” walk the aisle during a moment of emotion… and think that “that is what it takes” get to heaven! Salvation is by God’s Grace… Alone! Please read… “Ephesians 2:5-9-10” & “Titus 3:5” & “Romans 11:6”.

*** (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 [Christ Jesus] = 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."

*** (Galatians 3:1-2-3) You foolish Galatians! = Who put you under a spell? = Was not Jesus Christ = clearly portrayed as crucified = before your very eyes?
(Gal 3:2) I want to learn = only one thing = from you: = Did you receive the [Holy] Spirit = by doing the works of the law = or = by believing what you heard?
(Gal 3:3) Are you so foolish? = Having started out with the Spirit, = are you now ending up with the flesh?

The Anointing – 101
http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/07/anointing-101blog.html


“MANY” think… that they are ‘Christian’, and yet have Only Believed… what they are taught by some Church. They Never have looked into the Scriptures… and seen the Word, and what it really Says! They have been “Told & Taught”… by their Church, what to and what Not to Believe! “MANY” read some Christian author and know his writing… better than they do the Bible! They often quote him… and yet… Cannot find that Truth… in the Holy Word of God! And “NO”… I am ‘not’ accusing anyone… ‘nor’ am I excusing anyone… for that practice.

*** (Matthew 22:29) Jesus answered them, = "You are mistaken = because = you don't know the Scriptures = or God's power.

*** (2Timothy 2:15-to-17) Study earnestly = to present yourself = approved to God, = a workman = that does ‘not’ need = to be ashamed, = rightly dividing the Word of Truth.
*** (2Timothy 3:15) From childhood = you have known = the Holy Scriptures = that are able to give you = the wisdom you need = for salvation = through faith in Christ Jesus.
(2Tim 3:16) All Scripture is God-breathed = and is useful for teaching, = for reproof, = for correction, = and for training in righteousness,
(2Tim 3:17) so that the man of God = may be complete = and thoroughly equipped = for every good work.

Isn’t it about Time – 101 ?
http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/08/isnt-it-about-time-101.html


A “Pagan”… can be ‘Completely’ defined as anyone… who is Not Born Again, by the Holy Spirit of God! They can be of Any Religion, Sect, Belief or even of an “Un-Belief” in God or in any Deity! They can even believe in ‘multiple’ deities and in ‘multiple’ religions. They can even be Satan worshipers or in any other False god [small-g] or they can even… believe “Only in Themselves!” They are Not a child of God, the God of the Bible. Because our nation has become so “PC–Politically Correct” such a defining definition is needed. Remember, “Each ONE”… has their own… “Anti–Christ Agenda!”

*** (1John 4:1-to-4) Dear friends, = stop believing every spirit [agenda]. = Instead, = test the spirits = to see whether they are from God, = because = many false prophets = have gone out into the world.
(1Jn 4:2) This is how you can recognize God's Spirit: = Every spirit who acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh = is from God.
(1Jn 4:3) But every spirit = who does not acknowledge Jesus = is not from God. = This is the spirit of the antichrist. = You have heard that he is coming, = and now he is already in the world.
(1Jn 4:4) Little children, = you belong to God = and have overcome them, = because the One = Who is in you [Romans 8:9] = is greater than the one [Satan] = who is in the world.

*** (1John 5:19) We know = that we are of God, = and all the world = lies in Evil.


“Remember”… There are “MANY”… that use ‘Religious Language’, to draw you away from the Holy Word of God! They “Do NOT”… use the Bible to define or explain… their Terms. When the Mormon speaks about Jesus, he means the brother of Lucifer. When the JW says Jesus, he does mean that Jesus is Not God! When the Muslim speaks of Jesus (pbuh)… he is NOT speaking of the Jesus of the Bible! They USE… the Same Language… but NOT the Same ‘Dictionary – i.e. = [The “Bible” to ‘Define Terms’] You could ‘even’ call some “Non–Bible–Believing–Christians” = “… Pagans!”

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/10/christ-jesus-or-jesus-pbuh-101blog-1.html


*** (Ephesians 5:9-10-11) For the fruit of the Spirit = consists of every form = of goodness, = righteousness, = and Truth.
(Eph 5:10) Determine [Proving] = what pleases the Lord,
(Eph 5:11) and have = nothing to do = with the unfruitful works of darkness. = Instead, = expose them = for what they are.

*** (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.

*** (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.

“Religion or ‘Relationship’ with Christ” – 101…Blog.

“Religion or ‘Relationship’ with Christ” – 101…Blog.



‘Many’ people mix… their ‘Thinking’ about… “True Christianity” with ‘Other Religions’. In its ‘Purest’ sense… “True Christianity” is… “NOT A Religion!” It is a “Relationship”… with God… ‘Through & By’ the “Finished Work of Redemption”… in Christ Jesus; the God Man. God has provided this “Sinless Sacrifice”; the Passover Lamb of God! “Christ Jesus”… was Crucified; and Died; And ‘Rose Again’ for our “Justification”. That is a ‘50-cent’ word, simply meaning… “Judicially Right with and before God!” All… “Paid in Full!”

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/10/it-is-finished-101blog-12.html  [1/2]  


*** (Romans 3:21) But now, apart from the law, = God's righteousness is revealed and is attested = by the Law and the Prophets-
(Rom 3:22) God's righteousness = through the faithfulness of Jesus Christ for = all who believe. For there is no distinction,
(Rom 3:23) since all have sinned = and continue to fall short = of God's glory.
(Rom 3:24) By His grace = they are “Justified” = freely = through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
(Rom 3:25) Whom God offered as a place = where atonement = by Christ's blood = could occur through faith. = He did this = to demonstrate His righteousness, = because He had waited patiently = to deal with sins committed in the past.

The word “Religion”… from the Latin; means ‘to bind’ one’s self to God. No ‘One’ can do that… because “God is Holy”… and mankind is ‘Sinful’. How then does the ‘Unholy’… make itself… right with God? How does Sinful Mankind… approach a “Sinless GOD”…? No one can… except by the “Precious Blood of Christ Jesus!” That ‘once’ for all time… sacrifice for “All” mankind… is accepted by “Few”… and rejected by “Most!” Mankind loves their “SIN/SINS”… because it feeds their Fallen Nature!

*** (John 3:16-to-21) "For this is how = God loved the world: = He gave his unique Son [Christ Jesus] = so that everyone = who believes in Him = might not perish = but have eternal life.
(John 3:17) For God sent the Son into the world [this time], = not to condemn the world, = but that the world = might be saved = through Him.
(John 3:18) Whoever believes in Him = is not condemned, = but whoever ‘does not’ believe = has already been condemned, = because = he has not believed = in the name of God's unique Son.
(John 3:19) And this is the basis for judgment: = The light has come into the world, = but people loved the darkness [sin] = more than the light = because their actions were evil.
(John 3:20) For everyone = who practices ‘wickedness’ = hates the light = and does not come to the light, = so that his ‘actions’ = may ‘not’ be exposed [by that light].
(John 3:21) But whoever = does what is true = comes to the light, = so that all may see that his actions = have been done in God."

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


We are All… “The ‘Creations’ of God”… but “NOT All”… are “The ‘Children’ of God”. Did you know, that Christ Jesus called some… “Of ‘your’ Father–The Devil”..? Some; by faith in Christ Jesus… are God’s Children! But those that… “Reject Christ Jesus” / and ‘Do Not’… accept Him; on ‘His Terms’… are simply the ‘Children of Satan’ and “Children of the Darkness [Evil]”. One will readily say that ‘Satan’ for his rebellion; should spend ‘Eternity’ in the “Lake of Fire”… and ‘then’ make “Excuses”… for those that… “Reject Jesus!” Satan’s ‘rebellion’ against God; is no different… than mans’ ‘rebellion’ against God!

*** (1John 4:19) We love = Him = because = He first loved us.

*** (John 1:12) But as many as = received Him [Jesus], = He gave to them authority to become the children of God, = to those who believe on His name,

*** (John 8:42-to-45) Jesus said to them, = If God were your father, = you would love Me, = for I went forth and came from God; f= or I did not come of Myself, = but He sent Me.
(John 8:43) Why do you ‘not know’ My speech? = Because you = cannot [will not] = hear My Word.
(John 8:44) You are of the Devil as father, = and the lusts of your father you will do. = He was a murderer from the beginning, = and did not abide in the Truth = because there is ‘no’ Truth in him. = When he speaks a Lie, = he speaks of ‘his own’, = for he is a Liar = and = the ‘father’ of it [Lies].
(John 8:45) And because = I [Jesus] = tell you the truth, = you = ‘do not’ = believe Me.

Most ‘work’ for someone...! You either ‘do’ or not ‘not do’… what your “Job Description” says. All in exchange you get a “Pay Check [Wages]!” Those that, ‘do not’ do their “Job”… are called “Unemployed!” Those that are self employed… work for their Boss also; ‘Themselves’. And the “Government” overseas your ‘Work issues’ and ‘Taxes’ and ‘Business regulations’. ‘None’ are an “Island to Themselves!” We are “All” accountable to ‘Someone!’ No ‘one’ is completely free… to do as they please! Even the speeder, will get caught! You ‘Earn’… and “Receive Wages”… for what you ‘Work For!’

*** (Romans 6:23) For = the “Wages” of sin = is death, = but the “Gift” of God = is eternal life = through Jesus Christ our Lord.


*** (Romans 3:10-11-12) as it is written: = "There is none righteous, no not one;
(Rom 3:11) there is ‘none’ that understands, = there is ‘none’ that seeks after God."
(Rom 3:12) "They are ‘all’ gone out of the way, = they have ‘together’ become unprofitable, there is none that does good, no, not one."

*** (Romans 5:12) Therefore, = even as through one man [Adam] = sin entered into the world, = and death by sin, = and so death passed on ‘all’ men = inasmuch as ‘all’ sinned:

*** (Psalms 14:1-2-3) To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. = The fool has said in his heart, = There is no God! = They acted corruptly; = they have done abominable works, = there is ‘none’ who does good.(Psalms 14:2) Jehovah [God] looked down from Heaven = on the sons of men, = to see if there were ‘any’ = who understood and sought God.
(Psalms14:3) “All” have gone aside, = together they ‘are’ filthy; = there is ‘none’ who does good, = no, = ‘not’ one.

“God”, by ‘Christ Jesus’… has provided a “Total Payment” for All “SIN/SINS”… Past: Present: and Future! He, “Christ Jesus”; has ‘given & offered’ that Salvation to… “Each & Every”… one of “US!” May I ask a simple Question…? What have you done with Christ Jesus..? Have you said… “NO, I don’t need ‘Your Payment’ for “My”… “SIN/SINS!” That is ‘Exactly’… what you do… when You “Reject”… God’s Provision for your “SIN/SINS!” Jesus paid it “All”… and you have told Him… “NO!”

*** (Acts 17:30-31-32) Truly, then, = God overlooking the times of ignorance, = now He strictly commands = ‘all’ men everywhere = to Repent,
(Acts 17:31) because He = has appointed = a day = in which He = is going = to judge the world = in righteousness = by a Man [Christ] = Whom He appointed, = having given proof = to all = by raising Him = from the dead.
(Acts 17:32) And hearing of a resurrection of the dead, = some ‘indeed’ mocked; = and others said, = ‘We will hear you again concerning this’.

Repentance – 101 [1/?]
http://truth459.blogspot.com/2010/09/repentance-101blog-1.html


Recently, I had someone… say to me, “What about those that ‘do not’ come to Christ, did Christ die for their sins also…? Is there a ‘Limited Atonement’… only for those that come to Christ Jesus? Absolutely Yes! Perhaps I may share with you a simple understanding of this fact?

1. I give you a check for… “10,000 dollars!”
2. You thank me and ‘Never’ cash that check!
3. You think that it is charity but I tell you it is ‘grace’ with no strings attached.
4. Still… you want to succeed on your own, with the help of no one.
5. You Die…!
6. Your heirs close your estate and find my check to you for the money.
7. They go to the Bank… and try and cash my check, made out to you.
8. The bank informs them… sorry the person is dead; the funds are… “Non-Transferable!”

That is a ‘word picture’… of “Salvation”. God calls “All” mankind to Himself. Many refuse His gift of Grace in payment for their… “Sin/Sins.” Their ‘Refusal’ to cash their check, the… “Gift of God”… will leave one… without the ‘eternal’ payment for their… “Sin / Sins!” This… Atonement by Christ Jesus for YOU… is paid for by the… “Death, Burial and Resurrection of Himself”… But…rejected by You! Where then do you expect to spend eternity… after spitting in the face of God and refusing His gift of Grace to you? This is the Gospel… that we communicate as… “Evangelism = You are Witnesses of these Things… “Luke 24:44-to-49”

(Hebrews 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?

You fear the ‘Police Officer’… who pulls you over for Speeding, don’t You? You obey the Civil & Criminal Laws… Don’t You…? Surely you do not want to… “Go to Jail”… “Do You”…? You pay your real estate and IRS tax… “Don’t You?” So then, “Why as the ‘Creation’ of God”… do you “Not Obey HIM”…? It is because… “You”… ‘Have & Want’… to be your own god [small-g]….! You want to be complete “Boss”… over your life.

*** (2Corinthians 4:3-4) So if = our gospel is veiled, = it is veiled = to those = who are dying [both Physically & Spiritually].
(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.

*** (2Corinthians 11:14) And no wonder, since Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.


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

“ I ”… is the Middle of… “ S–‘I’–N ”…! Of course… ‘You’… do not want to… subject yourself to God and to His Holy Word. Satan has ‘blinded’ you… and you have ‘blinded’ yourself… by ‘Your’ disobedience to God! You could call that… “Double–Blinded–Ness!” Christ Jesus is the ‘Light of the Word’… and He has revealed Himself to you. Your… “Free Will”… ‘allows’ you “To Reject” or “To Accept”… Christ’s finished payment for Your… “SIN/SINS!” Either way… Jesus pays it All… OR… you will… “Say NO”… and go to the Lake of Fire… for Eternity!

When ‘ONE’… is Born Again… by the Holy Spirit of God… “Then” and “Only Then”… can they be ‘rightly’ called… “A Child of God” or “A Son of God!” Those that are… “NOT” = “His Children”… do ‘NOT’ have the Holy Spirit of God. In that Blinded state; and in that Darkness that Satan has blinded them with… “All” and “Any Truth of God”… is simply “FOOLISHNESS”… to Them! Only Christ; the Light of the Word… can free ‘one’… from that Darkness!

*** (Jude 1:17-18-16) But you, = dear friends, = must remember the statements and predictions = of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(Jude 1:18) They kept telling you, = "In the last times = mockers = will appear, = following their own = ungodly desires."
(Jude 1:19) These are the people = who cause divisions. = They are worldly, = devoid of the [Holy] Spirit.

*** (1Corinthians 2:14) A person who isn't spiritual [Born Again] = doesn't accept = the things of God's Spirit, = for they are = nonsense to him. = He can't understand them = because they are spiritually evaluated.

*** (1Peter 1:22-to-25) Purifying your souls = in the obedience of the Truth = through the [Holy] Spirit = to unfeigned love of the brothers, = love one another fervently = out of a pure heart,
(1Pet 1:23) having been ‘born again’, = not of corruptible seed [religion], = but of incorruptible, = through the living Word of God, = and abiding forever.
(1Pet 1:24) For all flesh is as grass, = and all the glory of men = as the flower of the grass. = The grass withers, and its flower falls out,
(1Pet 1:25) but the Word of the Lord = endures forever. = And this is the Word = preached as gospel to you.

“Christians and ‘Halloween’ – 101”…Blog.

“Christians and ‘Halloween’ – 101”…Blog.



*** (Acts 5:29) And Peter = and the apostles = answered = and said, = We ought to = “Obey God” = rather than men.


Last October… I published my “Halloween – 101” Blog… and ‘MANY’ that called themselves Christian… ‘Either Blocked’ me or ‘Removed’ me… from their Face Book… friends list. Wow… can you imagine that…? Someone who says they… “LOVE JESUS”… would be offended; when the ‘Published Word’… spoke of the “Wrong of Celebrating Halloween”…? How can that Be…?

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

*** (John 17:17-18-19) Sanctify them = through Your Truth. = Your Word - is Truth.

(John 17:18-19) As You [God] = have sent Me [Jesus] = into the world, = even so I [Jesus] = have sent them = into the world.
(John 17:18) As You [God] = have sent Me [Jesus] = into the world, = even so I [Jesus] = have sent them = into the world. [(Luke 24:48) And you are witnesses of these things.]
(John 17:19) And I sanctify Myself = for their sakes, = so that they also = might be sanctified in Truth.

http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/10/halloween-101-blog.html


What does “Sanctification” mean…? In its form; it means simply to be “Dedicated” = “Set Apart or Separate”… for a “Particular Purpose!” What would that Purpose be…? First, what makes One… Sanctified? From John 17 we simply see… “The Truth!” Christ Jesus, the Living Word of God… prayed to God His Father and Ours… that WE might be Sanctified by Truth! The Word of God… is the Truth for all and any Applications of “Life and Salvation”.

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

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

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

There is very much difference… in being ‘Called Christian’… then by “Living as One!” “Many” call themselves “Christian”… and have “Never” = been “Truly Born Again”… by God’s Holy Spirit! The seldom if ever… “Read & Study”… the Precious Holy Word of God. Their learning consists of Sermons and Church and Fellowship. Whatever anyone, that says they are a Christian ‘does’… seems “Alright with Them!” They never see “Right & Wrong”… instead they just get along… with ‘Everyone!’

*** (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!

*** (1Corinthians 5:1-2) 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.

False Christians – 101 [1/4]
http://truth459.blogspot.com/2009/11/pseudo-false-christians-101.html


What is it exactly about “Halloween”… that Truly Born Again Christians should be concerned about? Are there “Pagan Practices”… involved in their “History of Practice?” Circa 327 AD, Emperor Constantine stopped True Christian Persecutions and Married the Pagan Holidays with the Supposed Christian ones. Halloween is equivalent to Satan’s Christmas. Simply “Google – Halloween” and look at the Practices. Do any of them… Glorify God the Father or Christ Jesus or the Holy Spirit…? Absolutely “NOT!”

*** (2Corinthians 6:15-to-18) What harmony exists = between Christ and Satan, = or what do a believer = and an unbeliever = have in common?
(2Cor 6:16) What agreement = can a temple of God = make with idols? = For we are the temple of the living God, = just as God said: = "I will live and walk among them. = I will be their God, = and they will be my people."
(2Cor 6:17) Therefore, = "Get away from them = and separate yourselves from them, = " declares the Lord, = "and don't touch anything unclean. = Then I will welcome you.
(2Cor 6:18) I will be your Father, = and you will be = my sons and daughters," = declares the Lord Almighty.

*** (Ephesians 5:17) Therefore do not be unwise [stupid], = but understand = what the will [Word] of the Lord is.


How about a “Harvest Party”… at ‘Church’; instead of celebrating “Halloween?” Simply changing the ‘Name’… does ‘not negate’ its evil influence. “Sin” by any other name… is still… “SIN!” Well… won’t the “Children” – be “Disappointed”…? IF your Children are Really Born Again… “Shouldn’t YOU”… ‘BE’ Teaching them to Obey God…? Or perhaps You Yourself… don’t obey the Holy Word of God…? “What” the Parents allow in “Moderation”… The Children will… “Excuse”… in “Excess”…!

*** (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.

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

*** (Deuteronomy 18:9-to-14) When you come to the land which Jehovah your God gives you, = you shall not learn = to do according to = the abominations of those nations.
(Deut 18:10) There shall not be found among you = anyone who makes his son or his daughter = to pass through the fire, = or that uses divination, = an observer of clouds, = or a fortune-teller, or a witch,
(Deut 18:11) or a charmer, = or a consulter with familiar spirits, = or a wizard, = or one who calls to the dead.
(Deut 18:12) For ‘all’ = that do these things = are an ‘abomination’ to Jehovah. = And ‘because’ of these abominations = Jehovah your God = drives them out from before you.
(Deut 18:13) You shall = be perfect = with Jehovah your God.
(Deut 18:14) For these nations = whom you shall possess = listened to observers of clouds = and to diviners. = But as for you, = Jehovah your God = has ‘not’ allowed you = to do so.

When I see those… that “Say they are Christians”… post “Horoscopes” and the Likes; on their pages; I know that they “Do Not… Love JESUS!” They commit… ‘Spiritual Adultery’… in doing so. Such is the practice of ‘Halloween’ Also! Because they… “Do Not”… Read & Study… the Holy Word of God; they are influenced ‘more’, by the “Word and its Corruptness”… than by the Holy Spirit of God! That is why His Holy Word… is ‘needed’; so that ‘one’ may “Grow in His Grace” and in the “Knowledge of His – Holiness”.

*** (James 4:4-to-10) You adulterers! = Don't you know = that friendship with the world = means hostility with God? = So whoever wants to be a friend = of this world = is an enemy of God.
(Jas 4:5) Or do you think = the Scripture means nothing = when it says = that the Spirit that God = caused to live in us = jealously yearns for us?
(Jas 4:6) But He gives = all the more grace. = And so He says, = "God opposes the arrogant = but gives grace to the humble."
(Jas 4:7) Therefore, = submit yourselves to God. = Resist the devil, = and he will run away from you.
(Jas 4:8) Come close to God, = and He will come close = to you. = Cleanse your hands, you sinners, = and purify your hearts, = you “double-minded”.
(Jas 4:9) Be miserable, = mourn, = and cry. = Let your laughter be turned into mourning, = and your joy into gloom. [Repent!]
(Jas 4:10) Humble yourselves = before the Lord, = and He will exalt you.

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

*** (1John 2:15-16-17) Stop loving the world = and the things = that are in the world. = If anyone = persists in loving the world, = the Father's love = is not in him.
(1Jn 2:16) For everything = that is in the world = the desire for fleshly gratification, = the desire for possessions, = and worldly arrogance = is not from the Father = but is from the world.
(1Jn 2:17) And the world = and its desires = are fading away, = but the person who does God's will [Word] = remains forever.

*** (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.

How about “IT”…? Will you ‘say’ that You = “Love Jesus”… and still… “Celebrate Halloween”…? ? ?


*** (Galatians 4:16) So = have I now = become your enemy = for telling you = The Truth?


*** (Luke 24:48) And = you = are witnesses = of these things.
