The Lies of The Gospel of Judas.

2006-04-18T11:02:00.000-07:00

Many new religions and cults, see the manuscript of the so called, Gospel of Judas, as historical and Biblical fact. The facts, as we see it, come not from man but from God. The fact is that Judas Iscariot was cursed and condemned to everlasting punishment in the lake of Fire, for his part in the betrail of Jesus. These so call Christian Gnostic (Knowledge) Gospels are an illusion and far from being fact. If these people would read not just the New Testament facts, but the Old Testament Prophecy's, they would see that the prophecy's of the betrayer of Christ and the predictions were written before these so called gospels. For example; “Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.” Psa 55:12-15; For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him: But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company. Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them. Psa_41:9, Psa_55:12-15Isa_53:10; Zec_13:7 These gospels are a denial of Biblical fact and are trying to deceive the very elect, as the Bible indicates, would take place. That is the reason that God stated that He would shorten the days. Mat 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. In a recently published article by a, World Peace Religion, member, we read the following. “Quote”;Well, this revelation about Judas is nothing compared to the others in the Christian Knowledge Gospels. In the Koran, (Sura Chapter 4:156) the angel Gabriel who brought Mary the good news tells the Prophet Muhammad that in fact Jesus was not even crucified, a likeness, an impostor was, because this was the story in the Christian Knowledge Gospels which were burned by the Church Fathers forever (they hoped) 1,700 years ago. The Gnostic Gospel of Judas never mentions the crucifixion or the resurrection. Seth was the third child of Adam and Eve. There was a group of Gnostic (Knowledge) Christians named after Seth, Sethians. In the Christian Gospel called "The Second Treatise of The Great Seth", 56.6-19 in NHL 332, Jesus Christ told Simon, "It was another...who drank the gall and the vinegar; it was not I... it was another Simon, who bore the cross on his shoulder. It was another upon whom they placed the crown of thorns. But I was rejoicing in the height (the hills) over… their error. And I was laughing at their ignorance. (for thinking it was I who they were crucifying)". The Christian Gnostic Knowledge Gospels contradict the 4 Canonized Gospels in the New Testament endlessly. The 4 New Testament Gospels contradict themselves endlessly. “Unquote” The term "gnostic" derives from "gnosis," which means "knowledge" in Greek. The Gnostic's believed that they were privy to a secret knowledge about the divine, hence the name. (Huxley coined "agnosticism" on the basis that all knowledge must be based on reason. We cannot rationally claim to have access to knowledge that is beyond the powers of the intellect. There is nowhere in the scripture that states, that the knowledge of God toward man, is limited to any, sect nor generation, but is open to all whom seek this knowledge. Let us now look at the Bible for the facts about Judas and the Crucification. Mat 26:24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born. In these following statements we see how Biblical interpretation gets many into false religions and into much trouble. “Quote”;One need only look right in the Holy Bible to see what is really going on. God the Father said through Prophet Isaiah that the Bible writers, the Priests and Prophets who wrote the Bibles, “the scribes were creating for the people a shelter, a refuge, of lies and falsehoods, (Isaiah 28:14-15) which would cause the people to fall backward and be broken and ensnared and taken.” (Isaiah 28:9-13). God the Father called the Holy Bible “The Word of Satan!” God said to the scribes, "You prophesy by Baal, Beelzebub, Satan!" (Jeremiah 2:8). God the Father said, "They (the scribes) say, 'Says the Lord', when the Lord has not sent them, and yet they wait for the fulfillment of their word!" (Ezekiel 13:6). Jesus launched into an absolute diatribe in Matthew 23 calling the Bible writers, the scribes, lying venomous snakes who spewed their own divisive racist deadly hateful lies right into your Holy Bible and signed them, “said God”, and “said Jesus”. Jesus lambasted the scribes and those who followed the same Old Testament followed by Judaism, Christianity and Islam today.”Unquote.” Isa 41:24 Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of naught: an abomination is he that chooseth you. As far as hell and the lake of fire being a man made thought, lets read; Isa 66:24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh. These Christian Gnostic (Knowledge) Gospels not only deny the New Testament accounts but they also deny the Old Testament Accounts of prophecy. These are the Blind leading the Blind. Those that follow, these types of teachings, are those who, have no knowledge in them of the works of Christ. These people deny all the prophetic word of the Old Testament such as these verses, just to name a few; If God were unrighteous, would He be able to Judge the World? No. God is just and no lier. False doctrine, Teachings and Teachers, seek to justify themselves for their lack of understanding and knowledge by calling that which is Good, Evil and Evil, Good. ars Isa_50:5, Isa_50:6, Isa_53:1-12; Dan_9:26; Zec_12:10, Zec_13:7; Mar_9:12; Luk_24:25, Luk_24:26, Luk_24:46; Joh_19:24, Joh_19:28, Joh_19:36, Joh_19:37; Act_13:27-29, Act_17:2-3, Act_26:22, Act_26:23, Act_28:23; 1Co_15:3; 1Pe_1:11 ars

Bible Prophecy. 4. Into Everlasting Shame.

Bible Prophecy. 4. Into Everlasting Shame.Dan 12:1-10; And at that time shall Michael (Arc-Angel) stand up, the great prince (A Prince of The Angels) which standeth for the children of thy people (Israel): and there shall be a time of trouble (The Tribulation.), such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people (The Church) shall be delivered (Raptured) ( The word “Delivered means, fetch, get, Convey, removed from one area to another.), every one that shall be found written in the book (Book of Life). And many of them that sleep (That are Dead) in the dust of the earth (Buried) shall awake (Rise), some to everlasting life (Judged worthy to enter into Heaven), and some to shame and everlasting contempt.(Judged unrighteous and will enter into the Lake of Fire.) And they that be wise (Full of understanding) shall shine as the brightness of the firmament ( Those that have listened and believed Gods Word.); and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. ( Ministers that have preached the truth.) But thou, O Daniel (A prophet of the time of Nebuchadnezzar and Cyrus, the hero and author of the Book of Daniel.), shut up the words ( Add no other words.), and seal the book (Seal up the understanding until it is ready to be reveled.), even to the time of the end ( The terminal Generation.): many shall run to and fro ( Transportation is great and seekers of all knowledge seek after more.), and knowledge shall be increased ( Mans understanding of the law of nature and physics.). Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two(Angels), the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river. And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders? And I heard the man clothed in linen (Gabriel), which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people (Christians & Jews), all these things shall be finished.( Presumed to be the Arc Angels, Gabriel and Michael.) And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. ( This is not only the understanding of the meaning of Scripture but also the meaning of Prophecy.) Without understanding prophecy, we have a lack of understanding of the entire Bible. Did you ever wonder why Jesus stated that He fulfilled the Law instead of saying the Old testament was no longer needed, or that the Law was finished? Its because the Old Testament holds great future meaning for all mankind. The Ten Commandments are still in effect. Tho the ritual part of the Mosaic Law has no tie to the Gentile Race of people. The Disciples ask a very important question to Jesus on the Salvation of Man. Mat 19:23-25 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? There are two different classes that God sees, 1. Those that are in First Adam and 2. Those in Last Adam. First Adam signifies, those that are still carnal and unrighteous. We were all born into First Adam, but thru our faith in Christ we were born again into Last Adam. Those that are still in First Adam when they die are those that will not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven but are thrown into the Lake of Fire. First Adam offered no salvation to the gentiles.1Co 10:20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. The gentile race were trying to copy the sacrificial properties of the Jewish Priest, but to no avail. At this time God did not recognize the gentiles as a people. Mat 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. The word,”regeneration” Which is only found in Mat.19:28 and Tit.3:5., means a “new birth.” The Greek word so rendered is palingenesia. In Mat.19:28 the word is equivalent to the “restitution of all things” (Acts.3:21). In Titus 3:5 it denotes that change of heart elsewhere spoken of as a passing from death to life (1Jo.3:14); becoming a new creature in Christ Jesus (2Co.5:17); being born again (John.3:5); a renewal of the mind (Rom.12:2); a resurrection from the dead (Eph.2:6); a being quickened.(Made alive) (Eph.2:1, Eph.2:5). This change is ascribed to the Holy Spirit. It originates not with man but with God (John.1:12, John.1:13; 1Jo.2:29; 1Jo.5:1, 1Jo.5:4). As to the nature of the change, it consists in the implanting of a new principle or disposition in the soul; the impartation of spiritual life to those who are by nature “dead in trespasses and sins.” The necessity of such a change is emphatically affirmed in Scripture (John.3:3; Rom.7:18; Rom.8:7-9; 1Co.2:14; Eph.2:1; Eph.4:21-24). “And some to shame and everlasting contempt”, These are the ones that have rejected everything that you have just read. Mankind has gotten to the point, its me and no one else, my needs first, fulfilling the lust of my body, my prominence, my prestige. The difference between Christianity and the un-believers is simple. A Christian must and will, put the needs of others first, including the Will of God, The Truth of the Bible and the leadership of the Holy Spirit. The Un-believer does not have The Trinity to lead nor guide him. He makes decisions based on his lust for power and lust for Gain. So who will be lost, who will be damed to everlasting fire? Rev 22:15 For without are dogs (A term of reproach or contempt given to a man.), and sorcerers("Wizards," (Lev. 19:31). Consulter-s of "the dead," 'oboth (Lev_20:6), "those having familiar spirits" which they consulted to evoke the dead; ), and whoremongers(Panderer, whore-master, a controller), and murderers (Assassins.), and idolaters (Those that worship idols, money, gold, power, false gods, ect.,) and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie ( a perverter of the truth). 1Co 6:9-10 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators ( Those that co-mitt adultery), nor idolaters (Idol worshipers.), nor adulterers ( Same as a fornicator), nor effeminate (a person characterized by excessive softness or self-indulgence, having unsuitable feminine qualities, not possessing qualities befitting a man, Belonging to or having the characteristics of both the male and the female, having Homo-sexual trates, Effeminate; unmanly.), nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. end pt. 4. ars

Bible Prophecy.pt.3b.Falling Stars and Abortion

2005-12-31T19:28:00.000-08:00

Bible Prophecy.pt.3b.Falling Stars and Abortion.Bible Prophecy is not intended to harm but to in-lighten. To In-lighten the dark recesses of misunderstanding and doubt. To bring forth the truth and dispel the lies. Part 3b will be on falling stars the spiritual and the physical. A Star is, 1.A self-luminous celestial body consisting of a mass of gas held together by its own gravity. 2. A symbol of rank or merit. 3. The future; destiny. Falling stars are represented by three things in Scripture. 1. Metours. 2. Angelic beings. and 3. A representation of great destruction and peril, a plague that will cause the earth great distress. 1Co 15:41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. This is the glory of the physical and the spiritual. Differences of Angels. As with the sun and the moon. The sun has its glory, for its brightness and warmth, hard to look upon because of its power, as with God. The Moon has its glory, a soft white light which is looked upon freely, a comforting glow that lights our way thru the night as with the Son of God, Jesus. 2Peter 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; where-unto ye do well that ye take heed,( It must be understood that prophecy is commanded to be understood and taught by those with the understanding.) as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: (”a more sure word of prophecy”, Not that the prophecy's of the past were not sure, but that we have a better understanding of the prophecy's today because of our working knowledge of the entire world and its unrighteousness.) Rev 8:10-11. And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Worm-wood ( a representation of what this star will cause, bitterness and death. The name by which the Greeks designated it, absinthion, means “undrinkable.”): and the third part of the waters became worm-wood (That word, worm-wood, becomes the proper emblem of bitterness); and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter(an emblem of the calamity). The death of man will be exceedingly great because of the spiritual and physical meaning of these stars. In this Reference, Exo.15:23-24, we see Biblical proof, that these thing are probable. And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah. And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? Barnes states of Rev. 8:11(Great destruction and devastation are undoubtedly intended to be denoted by this - destruction that would be well represented in a land by the natural effects if a considerable part of the waters were, by their bitterness, made unfit to drink.) Rev 9:1-3; And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a “star”( The word star here refers to an angelic being with whom power was given to accomplish the will of God on the Earth) fall from heaven ( His point of origin.) unto the earth ( His destination.): and to him ( The word Him denotes that the word star and him are joined together, meaning the same thing. This angel is called a star.) was given the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. ( We could assimilate the star with death and destruction, even with the death angel.)(The sun is the religion of the Church; the moon is the government of the state; and the stars are the judges and doctors of both. Isa.13:10; Eze.32:7, Eze.32:8, etc.”Lightfoot.) Mat 24:28-29; For wheresoever the carcase is ( The Dead.), there will the eagles be gathered together ( Scavengers, meat eaters.). Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: ( A great calamity of the Heavens. Gravity will no longer have hold on the celestial bodys.) (The Stars, the Sun and the Moon were not created for God but for man. The stars will fall, for their light will no longer be needed.) Gen 1:14-16; And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. We must ask ourselves why, Mat 24:28-29, is so hard to take as literal and not spiritual? We see stars falling from the heavens on a daily bases. We see proof of their destruction all around the world and many times they leave no trace of their existence when they fall. Asterites, Asteroids, Comets, ect. Past and Future. Man prides himself on his knowledge of science but he still misses the subtle points of truth, when he ignores the prophetic meaning of the scripture. God intends to use the stars of the heavens to shake men into repenting of their sins. But as we see in scripture, this calamity will have no effect on the hardness of mans heart. Rev 9:18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths ( These words designate, a command to happen, as with the two witnesses in Rev 11:3-15.) And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. Rev 9:20-21; And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts. Luke 17:29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Rev 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: It is so easy to believe that stars(Brimstone) Fell from heaven and consumed Sodom and Gomorrah, but we have a hard time believing that God will do it again, as He promised in prophecy. [Job.1:16; Job.18:15]. Hell was rained from heaven upon them. Fire, and brimstone, and a horrible tempest, were the portion of their cup (Psa.11:6); Brimstone: The word rendered “brimstone,” (q.d. brennestone, or brinnestone, id est burning-stone), is always rendered by the LXX “sulphur,” and seems to denote a meteorous inflammable matter. Weather these falling stars are from volxanic action, hail stones from heaven or the actual stars from the cosmose, you pick one, the matter is that it will happen. end pt. 3b.

Bible Prophecy. pt.3a.Falling Stars and Abortion.Abortion;Gal 4:16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? Rom 9:11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) Children are conceived and born without works neither being good nor evil nor with a formed character and manifested qualities which make them being an individual for the express purpose of God. Every child that is conceived has been predestinated by God before the foundation of the world. God in His infinite wisdom, allows us, as individuals, to make choices, weather they be righteous or unrighteous. So are those who abort a child, committing murder or most importantly, interfering with the will of God? Exo 21:22-25; If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. The Old Testament Law was never abolished by Jesus, He fulfilled it. (M.H.)God often executes it in the course of his providence, making the punishment, in many cases, to answer to the sin, as Jdg.1:7; Isa.33:1; Hab.2:13; Mat.26:52. The particular care which the law took of women with child, that no hurt should be done them which might occasion their mis-carrying. The law of nature obliges us to be very tender in that case, lest the tree and fruit be destroyed together, Exo.21:22, Exo.21:23. Women with child, who are thus taken under the special protection of the law of God, if they live in his fear, may still believe themselves under the special protection of the providence of God, and hope that they shall be saved in child-bearing. On this occasion comes in that general law of retaliation which our Saviour refers to, Mat.5:38, An eye for an eye. The execution of this law is not hereby put into the hands of private persons. The word,”predestinated” means; (For ordained by divine will or decree, pre-established or prearranged.) Pro.15:3, Gen.18:21. Eph 1:5-6: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. (References, Isa.10:2, Isa.13:15-18; Jer.7:6, Jer.22:3; Eze.22:7; Mal.3:5.) All children conceived and or born, is declared in scripture as the Heritage of God, joint heirs to the Kingdom. Sense these children are, pre-established or prearranged, by God, what does it say to the subject of aborting a prearranged conception in the womb? Exo 22:22 Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child. Psa 94:5-6; They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage. They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. Many in history, have called a child born out of wedlock a bastard. This word is not to mean a child born in such a way but to the contrary, it means a person who is not adopted into the Family of God. Heb 12:8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. This phrase is concerning the lack of want to change in to the ways of the Lord. Refusing, correction and instruction. Prophecy comes in many forms, in this instance, abortion is coming into line with prophecy, in the form of changing the meaning of the word of God. Changing the meaning and words of, “pre-established” & “predestinated” to a form of, ”By Choice and By Chance”. They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. Many anti-abortions protesters today try to use the words of Scripture, “Thou Shalt not Kill.” as their justification for trying to hault abortion. This phrase from scripture is true but people are using it in the wrong context. Killing from Biblical times has been used to protect the Sovereignty of Gods people. David, Jehu and other Kings of Israel. Protecting your Family and people are types of Killing that God recognizes. The killing spoken of is, killing or murder of the innocents, without justification. James 4:2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Remember what we said earlier about, “pre-established” & “predestinated” ? Even the ones that advocate, pro-choice, are and have been predestinated to be born. What if the anti-abortion patrons would have said, let these people be aborted, so that we can have freedom of choice? Their lives are due to two things, Gods will, and the patrons of right to life. God will not interfere with the choices that we make but we will be judged on our works, weather they be good or evil. Here is the slaughter of the Babies. Mat 2:16-18 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not. The big-est question that we must face is, “What If.” You say that Matthew 2:16-18, has nothing to do with abortion, well it actually does. These children we cut off before they fulfilled their destiny ( as with abortion), but to fulfill scripture God allowed this murder to happen. Not of His own will but of the will of man concerning the apropreation of His own Power. Prophecy; 2 Peter 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious (Harmful) ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. Prophecy; 2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Prophecy; 2Th 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. Prophecy; Isa 49:15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Women today have forgotten the fruit of their womb, fulfilling prophecy again. Prophecy; Abortion will cease to exist. The wrongs righted, the evil destroyed, the in-humanity of man will be replaced by justice to the unborn. Isa 65:20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. Women today want to abort children because of their own sin and lust of the flesh. Children have become a burden and not a blessing, . Abortion has become a conviencience for the lustful. Just remember prophecy, remember: And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, Eye for eye, tooth for tooth. end part 3a. Part 3b. will be“Falling Stars.”ars.

Bible Prophecy 2.”Earthquakes & War”

2005-12-31T19:25:00.000-08:00

Bible Prophecy 2.”Earthquakes & War”In part 2, of our Bible Prophecy series, we will look at earthquakes, War and their effect, not only on mankind, but of how they are effecting prophecy. Earthquakes have always occurred from the foundation of the earth. Why then are earthquakes so important now? The number and locations are the devideing factor between the earthquakes of the past and the ones that we are experience today. What is a earthquake, trembling or shaking movement of the earth's surface. Most earthquakes are minor tremors. Larger earthquakes usually begin with slight tremors but rapidly take the form of one or more violent shocks, and end in vibrations of gradually diminishing force called aftershocks. On average about 1,000 earthquakes with intensities of 5.0 or greater are recorded each year. Great earthquakes (intensity 8.0 or higher) occur once a year, major earthquakes (intensity 7.0–7.9) occur 18 times a year, strong earthquakes (intensity 6.0–6.9) 10 times a month, and moderate earthquakes (intensity 5.0–5.9) more than twice a day. God has built in a natural safety valve into the earth for expansion and contraction. This safety valve is called an earthquake. The number, magnitude and location is important in understanding the Scriptures that deal with the end days. The first scripture that we will deal with is Matthew 24:7. 1.For nation shall rise against nation, ( The number of wars are continuing to grow each year. In just my life time, I have seen, Wars in Viet-Nam, Granada, The cold war with the Soviet Union, Iraq 1, Iraq 2 , Afghanistan, Israel and all their wars with Egypt, Iran, Syria, East Bank, and the Gaza Strip, ect and The unseen war with the extreme elements of Alqaeda and The Nation of Muslim fanatics The Soviet Union and Afghanistan) and 2. kingdom against kingdom: The Muslim Nation is divided concerning Jehad and the way to convert all men to Mohmmad-ism. The United Nations are split into pieces barely holding on, because of the division among all nations.) and 3.there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. ( This section is easy to understand and relate to, India, Pakistan, Africa, Bird Flue, ect. The fear of another pandemic is growing among not only the people of earth but also the medical community.) (In recent years, and especially in 2005, we have seen earthquakes occur in China, Pakistan, America, South America, Japan, China, Philippens, The Soviet Union, ect.) Mark 13:8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. (“these are the beginnings of sorrows.”) The Bible tells us in the end days, there will be a significant change in the nature of the earth and the attitude of man. Why is all this happening? The will of man, his pride, arrogance, lust for power, possessions and fame, have over ridden the will of God and man kinds love for one another. Hate, distrust, fear, suspicion, prejudice, have all become the catalyst for many a disaster in the world and will be the down fall of man. To prove what I have already said, lets look at two sections of Scripture from the Book of Revelations. 1.Rev 14:8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen( This is past occurrence and future prophecy.), that great city ( The habitation of the Babylonian People and the Spirit of Babylon that has changed man-kinds attitude.), because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. (“Fornication.” Extramarital sex)(Sex here means a departure from the Truth of the Bible to in-joining of false doctrine and a criminal conversion from The Truth of scripture to follow after all manner of cult activities.) (that willfully and maliciously inter-fears with marriage relations. Criminal conversion.)(People that try to worship God on one hand and embrace false doctrine on the other.) 2. Rev 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils (Devils in this instance means, People of Hatred, confusion, Cruel and inhuman people, haters of God and haters of man, demonic), and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. (The word ”Bird” in Rev. 18:2 means, A cry or noise to display contempt or displeasure, an out cry of hate and prejudice.) If you've noticed in Rev.14:8 and 18:2, the phrase, “is fallen, is fallen” is repeated. Why? In Hebrew when a subject or word is mentioned twice, it signifies that the event mentioned will occur twice. Babylon the City was destroyed, The spirit of Babylon will also be destroyed. This is what is starting to occur today. The Nations of the world have become what God has already destroyed once, Babylon. Luke 21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers (Many) places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights (tsunamis) and great signs shall there be from heaven. ( Meteorites, Meteors, Comets.) Rev 11:13. And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell (Jerusalem ), and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand:(a tenth part of the city's population)(This signifies a population at the time of this earthquake at 700,000 people) (The population of Jerusalem, as censored at the end of 2003, was 693,200 people.) and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.(References; Isa 22:5 For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord God of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains. Zec 14:3-7; Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.) Rev 16:18-19 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. And the great city (Jerusalem) was divided into three parts,(EU Wants Israel to Divide Jerusalem. 15:51 Nov 27, '05 / 25 Cheshvan 5766 By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu)(For the past three years we have been reporting that the time is coming when the world will force Israel into dividing Jerusalem with the PA. Well that time is here. Watch over the coming years for a "political move " to use the estab-lishment of the next Jewish temple as a bargaining chip for Israel to divide its capital. The division of Jerusalem would fit into Bible Prophecy. We must keep in mind that the Lord declared that once the Jews took possession of Israel again (1947) it would never again go back into gentile hands. Hence, half of Jerusalem does not constitute a full surrender of it. I believe this issue could be the spring board that Satan will use to bring forth his false Messiah, the Anti-christ. God's plan for the end of the ages and the beginning of Messiah's reign is moving forward with pin-point accuracy!) and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. ars. end pt. 2.

Bible Prophecy, Refusing Gods Word.pt.1.

2005-12-31T19:24:00.000-08:00

Bible Prophecy, Refusing Gods Word.pt.1.I have written many a message on Prophecy, but this subject stands-out because of recent events in the world today. Prophecy many times in scripture starts out with the words,”In the End Days", or "in the latter times ” We must watch out for these words, to fully understand the prophetic meaning of the end times, that we are living in today. This is one of many subjects we will be writing about, until the Lord comes and takes us Home. Now the subject; Celibacy, Virginity and the Church.Many today “commend” and “enjoin” celibacy and virginity. The Churches of some, are in fact, propagating and introducing sin into their congregation, not of the congregation itself but of their ministers. Allowing these atrocity's to flourish. Here is the great lie, quote;” Conservatives say that it may help reverse the “gay culture” that has grown in many US. seminaries. Liberal critics have complained that the restrictions will create morale problems among existing priests and lead to an even greater priest shortage in the United States” un-quote. Is there a cancer growing in the Catholic Church? Are ordaining sinners, to be priest, allowed by God or by man?. God created male and female. Both to assist the other in their walk thru this life. A help-mate to bring about peace and tranquility. They would regard such a state, for certain persons, as more holy than the married condition, and would consider it as “so” holy that they would absolutely prohibit those who wished to be most holy from entering into the relation. God stated that it was not good for a man to be alone. Genesis 2:18 And the Lord God said,“It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him."(References, Pro.18:22; Ecc.4:9-12; 1Co.7:36.) The virgin Mary was married. Matthew 1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. Peter was married. Matthew 8:14 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.Jesus ordained marriage. Matthew 19:5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? This false doctrine, that is taught, comes from these passages that are misinterpreted in Matthew; 19:10-12. His disciples say unto him, “If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry”. But he said unto them, “All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it. ( A Eunuch is a man who has been castrated and cannot sexually reproduce.) For the Catholic Church to fall in line with Gods word about celibacy and virginity, they must become a eunuch, according to The Bible, their faith in God and of the flesh, and that they were called to be a eunuch. The words, celibacy and virginity, are not used in the scripture, to prevent a minister from being married. This idea came from man and from Biblical Prophecy. Man is fulfilling prophecy by his lack of understanding of Scripture and the intent of God for man. Proverbs 8:33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. The greatest propagater of this fallacy is the Catholic Church. They have misinterpreted scripture for centuries. They have prevented their priest from marriage and there-by caused many to turn to a homo-sexual life-style, which is sin. Today the Vatican presented a statement concerning Homo-sexuality and the Church. I applaud their decision to ban all non-hetaro-sexual-s from the Church Ministry but the statement didn't go far enough. (Quote; Rev. Timothy Radcliff, former superior of the Dominican order, wrote in the British Catholic weekly the Tablet that the phrase could be interpreted as concerning men with a “permanent homosexual orientation.”“But this cannot be correct since, as I have said, there are many excellent priests who are gay and who clearly have a vocation from God.”“Having worked with bishops and priests, diocesan and religious, all over the world, I have no doubt that God does call homosexuals to the priest-hood, and they are among the most dedicated and impressive priests I have met,” he wrote. un-quote) (Quote; Document says men with ‘transitory’ gay tendencies can still be ordained. The Vatican on Tuesday published its long-awaited document on gays in the priest-hood, saying that men with “deep-seated” gay tendencies shouldn’t be ordained but that those with “transitory” tendencies could be if they had overcome them for three years. The Bible tells us that Homo-sexuality is an abomination to God and there-by is classified as, unrighteousness, un-Godly and a sin. To allow 1 sin is to allow all sin, there is no justification for allowing any sin into the ministry. These are the blind leading the blind. Paul stated of false ministers and doctrine; Romans 2:21-23“Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? (There are those that teach that are not called or are blinded by there ambition. Not entering into the kingdom and preventing those that would.) thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? (Do ministers today steal from their congregations, asking for more, than is allowed and demanded from God, to supply meat for the Church? Are they stealing from their congregation by not telling the whole truth, not teaching them how to receive from God, not only materially but more importantly, Spiritually? )( The spiritual part of man is more important than the material possessions that man attains. Many are blessed by God materially, but they think more of the gift than the one who supplied the gift. Making it a sin.) Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? ( Are they forgetting the commission that they received from God, to teach commandment of men? Are they teaching and making laws that are contrary to scripture? Are they committing adultery by falling away from the truth, to worship a man instead of worshiping God? Does the Bible state that there would be only one man to lead the Church? No.) thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? (Allowing many to co-mitt Blasphemous behavior, and depriving things of its sacred favor. Desecrateing the Church with those that say there are of God and do lie? Making a deity out of a man?)Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?”(Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves;) 1Ti 4:1-3; Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; ( Teaching, “Thou shall Not:”, and doing what they would not allow.) having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Fulfilling prophecy by; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, Calling a man Father. Gambling, Drinking and Refusing the Truth of the Bible, being subject to seducing spirits and false doctrine) , which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. In scripture God never condemned marriage nor did He state any-where that a minister could never marry. (Take the disciples for example.) How can the Vatican say that, all Priest must take a vow of Celibacy and Virginity, when it is in direct contrast to the will of God, for man, to marry? The parable of the wheat and tares applys to the church today. Matthew 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. 2Ti 2:20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour (Honoring God by accepting the Truth), and some to dishonour.(Dishonoring God by accepting False Doctrine.) (Here we see what we may comfort ourselves with, in reference to this, and the errors, atrocity's and heresies that both infect and in-fest the church, and do mischief. The infection of the Church has grown, here in these latter days, to Biblical proportations, and is starting to fulfill prophecy, of the great falling away, from the truth.) Reference; 2Th 2:3 “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;”We must look at the scriptures one at a time spiritually decerning each and comparing scripture with scripture. I judge nor condemn no one, the condemnation comes upon themselves from the word of Jehovah. All I am doing is spreading the truth so that others may judge for themselves, what is right and what is wrong. Its not just the Catholic Church in error but other doctrines and man made religions that are also refusing the Truth.(Cults)What is Biblical and what is false doctrine, what is true and what is a lie. Paul was the only Disciple that was never married. Lets look at what Paul stated about marriage. 1Co 7:1-2. Now concerning the things where-of ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, (All the Same, Even so, Despite any-thing to the contrary, How-ever.) to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. (God gives directions about marriage, and the remedy for fornication, that He has appointed for it.) The celibacy of a Minister of God, Must come from the freedom of Choice and not a commandment or direction from man. For a man to agree to not marry, (is a matter between him and God.) to become a minister of God is good in itself if its his own choice, but for a man to agree not to marry because of a stipulation or a rule from man, which would prevent Him from marriage contrary to His own will, for being ordained, is wrong. Its not scripturally sound and is a product of the Spirit of Error. Isaha 1:18 “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”Isa 1:20 “But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it."“Come now, and let us reason together.” Great words from the Father. Reasoning about spiritual and physical matters in this life is essential to the growth of the individual and the Church. Many Churches today are falling away from the truth because of past practices and laws handed down from past generations, that were not truly informed about the truth in Scripture. This is the reason that God gave us the Holy Ghost, to leads us and guide us into all truths. If we fail to read the Bible, for understanding and knowledge, we are susceptible to all manner of false doctrine. We will be caught up in someone else's lies. end pt.1 ars.

Death to Israel,Death to America !

2005-11-01T07:16:00.000-08:00

'Death to Israel, death to America'Many Anti-Christian Nations are calling for the Death of Israel and America because of Jesus The Christ. We are the only true friends of Israel in the world, even tho, in the end days America will turn against Israel for Her own self preservation from the Muslim Nations, that now surround Israel. Why? Because they also know Bible prophecy and will try to change the course of History. Today the United States is in a twicks between helping Israel and appeasing the Muslim World. This will be the down fall of America, when they turn to make peace with Gog and turn away from Israel. Tens of thousands of Iranians staged anti-Israel protests across the country on Friday, repeating calls by their ultraconservative president for the Jewish state’s destruction.China, Russia, Algeria, Syria, India, Pakistan, Lebanon, Libya, Sudan, Afghanistan and Iran join together to help Syria. I will try to explane the reason that Israel and these other Nations are so important to all of us and why we must all support and pray for Israel. Matthew 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Jesus loved the Israelites, for they were His people, not necessarily from the flesh but from the spirit. Gog & Magog are gathering together to steal from Israel. Hatred around the Muslim Nations is growing like a plague. We must understand the nature of the Battles that will come about over Israel and Her people. There will be three battles over the Land of David. The First will be Gog and Magog, the Second is Armageddon and the Last will be after the 1000 Year reign of Christ in Jerusalem. The First Battle; There are many, many Christians today that take the Battles of The prophecy as only spiritually meaning and not in the physical. These wars are physical, be not deceived by others opinion for they have no Biblical proof of what they are saying. These wars will take place. The Battle of Gog and Magog will be for riches, China, Russia and India are in great financial need, they are almost at the point of becoming bankrupt. Eze 38:11-19; And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates, To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land. Sheba,(She is called by our Lord the “queen of the south” (Mat_12:42). Southern Arabia.), and Dedan,(The fact that Sheba and Dedan are represented as Cushite (Gen_10:7) would point to a migration of part of these tribes to Ethiopia, and similarly their derivation from Abraham (Gen_25:3) would indicate that some families were located in Syria.), and the merchants of Tarshish (Tartessus, a city and emporium of the Phoenicians in the south of Spain), with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil? Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it? And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days(The end of Times,Future tense), and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them? And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; A great Earth Quake, some may say that volcanic activity will also be involved. But a super-natural Earth Quake defiantly. These men will also start to fight and kill among them selves till there are none left. Eze 38:20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. These army's will be destroyed by God and Israel will not have to fight.Eze 38:21-22 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother. (They will kill each other)And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.(Volcano or asteroid shower) Ezekiel 39:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.(They will be burried where they fall)The Second Battle; Armageddon. Luke 19:43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, Revelation 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. "Meshech "They were in all probability the Moschi, a people inhabiting the Moschian Mountains, between the Black and the Caspian Seas. In Ps. 120:5 the name occurs as simply a synonym for foreigners or barbarians. "During the ascendency of the Babylonians and Persians in Western Asia, the Moschi were subdued; but it seems probable that a large number of them crossed the Caucasus range and spread over the northern steppes, mingling with the Scythians. There they became known as Muscovs, and gave that name to the Russian nation and its ancient capital by which they are still generally known throughout the East" "Tubal"(1.) The fifth son of Japheth (Gen. 10:2).(2.) A nation, probably descended from the son of Japheth. It is mentioned by Isaiah (66:19), along with Javan, and by Ezekiel (27:13), along with Meshech, among the traders with Tyre, also among the confederates of Gog (Ezek. 38:2, 3; 39:1), and with Meshech among the nations which were to be destroyed (32:26). This nation was probably the Tiberini of the Greek historian Herodotus, a people of the Asiatic highland west of the Upper Euphrates, the southern range of the Caucasus, on the east of the Black Sea."Magog; "The Latin father Jerome says that this word denotes "Scythian nations, fierce and innumerable, who live beyond the Caucasus and the Lake Maeotis, and near the Caspian Sea, and spread out even onward to India." Perhaps the name "represents the Assyrian Mat Gugi, or 'country of Gugu, ' the Gyges of the Greeks" Assyria;It was a mountainous region lying to the north of Babylonia, extending along the Tigris as far as to the high mountain range of Armenia, the Gordiaean or Carduchian mountains. It was founded in B.C. 1700 under Bel-kap-kapu, and became an independent and a conquering power, and shook off the yoke of its Babylonian masters. It subdued the whole of Northern Asia. What we must understand that The names, Gog & Magog , are used to describe multi-nations. Many say that the battle of Gog & Magog has already taken place according to scripture in the old Testament times, in a way they are correct, but there are proofs that these battles under this name are future also. Isa 41:22 Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come. Eze 38:16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. The second instance of Gog and Magog; Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. The Last Battle of Gog and Magog. The Last Battle of Gog and Magog is after the Thousand year Reign of The Christ from Jerusalem. Rev 20:7-10 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. So as you can see the words, Gog and Magog, are used to describe multiple battles. If you have any questions please let me know. arsTemple of Spirit & Truth MinistriesA.R.Smith Sermons Internationalhttp://www.ourchurch.com/member/a/arsmithsermons

Finding The Living Among The Dead.

2005-09-18T20:35:00.000-07:00

Finding The Living Among The Dead.

Luke 9:59-9:60 Finding The Living Among The Dead. God is the God of the Living and not the God of the Dead. Speaking of Christ return and reign on this earth is sometimes difficult to get thru to people. Many want to denigh that the end is close, many want to denigh that God will destroy what He has created and many still yet want to denigh God all together. City after city from the east to west from north to south has had some kind of destruction based on the revelations of Jesus Christ. For He said when you see these things come to pass know that the end is near, even at the door. Luke 9:59-60; And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. As the morality of mankind becomes farther from the Word of God, its hard to find the living among the dead, spiritually speaking. Are there times that we must walk away from people or even city’s that refuse to hear the truth of the Scriptures? Yes. Jesus gave us examples of everything that we, as ambasitors, would encounter. “Let the dead bury their dead:” Even as New Orleans was reeling from death and destruction, many yet in that city were trying to open up their bars and clubs, homosexuals were dancing in the streets hafe naked and stating that,”Life goes on” Sodom and Gomorrha will rise up to testify against such people. The govermential system has become corrupt, legislators are willing to denigh Gods word and pass laws, legislating sin and debotchery and all manner of filth, we cant even trust what our government says any more. Here are some headlines that I thought were interesting. 1. As in Massachusetts, civil unions in Vermont were granted through court rulings. 2. Assembly-man had called bans on gay marriage “the last frontier of bigotry and discrimination.” 3. "Yet, the truth is that nudity in the home, when handled in a respectful, matter-of-fact way, is perfectly natural and certainly not harmful." In fact, research suggests that children who have seen their parents nude do not grow up to be emotionally scarred, but instead are more likely to be accepting of their own bodies and comfortable with their own sexuality. 4. Officials braced Thursday for what could be a staggering death toll by readying 25,000 body bags. 5. U.N. corruption cited in Iraq Oil for Food Program. . 6. Burma Military Closes Down Evangelical Church, Group Says 7. Eritrea Police Raid Christian Wedding Party Detaining Couple and Guests 8. Uzbekistan Destroys Christian Leaflets for Children. 9. Christian Activists Killed In Philippines 10. Palestinians poison girl for dating Christian, then burn out his relatives 11. Indonesia Christian Women Receive Jail Sentence For Converting Muslim Children. Luke 10:11 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. The Kingdom of God is closer each day to becoming a reality. Man-kinds in-humanity to man will be judged, mans rejection of the truth will be judged, mans whoredoms will be judged. Mar 6:11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. [Mat_12:36; Rom_2:5, Rom_2:16; 2Pe_2:9, 2Pe_3:7; 1Jo_4:17] We must learn how to find the Living Among The Dead. We grieve over the loss of loved ones but this is not what we are speaking of. We must remember that we cant turn back the pages of time and change what has happened in the past. We are looking at today and tomorrow, if Jesus hasn’t returned. Finding the living{Those that are willing to hear the truth} from among those that are dead{those that refuse to hear the truth.} And what is the truth? The truth is that this world will not last much longer. The mortality of man is getting shorter and shorter. Many are dieing today of heart attacks, as the scripture predicted. Rom 1:28-32; And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;[(Barnes)Rom 1:28 - And even as they did not like ... - This was the true source of their crimes. They did not choose to acknowledge God. It was not because they could not, but because they were displeased with God, and chose to forsake him, and follow their own passions and lusts. To retain God ... - To think of him, or to serve and adore him. This was the first step in their sin. It was not that God compelled them; or that he did not give them knowledge; nor even is it said that he arbitrarily abandoned them as the first step; but they forsook him, and as a consequence he gave them up to a reprobate mind. To a reprobate mind - A mind destitute of judgment. In the Greek the same word is used here, which, in another form, occurs in the previous part of the verse, and which is translated “like.” The apostle meant doubtless to retain a reference to that in this place. “As they did not approve, edokimasan, or choose to retain God, etc. he gave them up to a mind disapproved, rejected, reprobate,” adokimon, and he means that the state of their minds was such that God could not approve it. It does not mean that they were reprobate by any arbitrary decree; but that as a consequence of their headstrong passions, their determination to forget him, he left them to a state of mind which was evil, and which he could not approve. Which are not convenient - Which are not fit or proper; which are disgraceful and shameful.] Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. The dead that we speak of are those that use the scripture for their own lust and gain, those that use tragedy to gain unlawfully and those that are without understanding of human needs and desires to build a better life for themselves and their familys thru Jesus Christ. Many are seeking the truth, many are seeking their way in this world of dispare and destruction. All mankind has a knowledge of God, there is no excuse, but the dead are deigning their knowledge, not retaining what they know is right and have turned themselves into the walking dead of spirit and do the best they can to turn others away from the knowledge that they’ve rejected, of these people we can do nothing. So we seek the living among the dead. Seeking those that are searching for truth, searching for answers. Many are falling away because of difficulties in their Christian walk, but Jesus never stated that it would be an easy life. Many of the good things in life are difficult to obtain and to hold on to. The same way with being a Christian. We are hated and despised by many, especially in these last day. Christians are being tormented and beaten for their belief in Christ. Persecution and hatred are abounding around the world over Christianity. Jesus said unto him, “Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.” You have a testimony to deliver, deliver it, you have a ministry to perform, perform it, you have a life to live for Christ, live it. Don’t worry about what people think, don’t worry about what people do, don’t worry about your physical life, go and preach the Gospel. So ; Let the dead bury their dead, go and Find The Living Among The Dead. ars

The Evening and the Morning

2005-08-04T07:53:00.000-07:00

Genesis 1:1-1:31 The Evening and the Morning A descussion on the evening and morning of you life. Genesis 1:-2:2 We know the story of creation from Genesis, the truth about all liveing things upon the earth, we know that the story or myth of evolution is a deception from satan. But did you really look at the days of creation? The scripture says, the evening and morning were the 1st day, and the evening and morning were the second day and it goes on the same with 3,4,5,6 but not the 7th day for that represents the eternal rest of God. There was not an evening or morning mentioned in the 7th day. So when did God do His work. If you notice its in the evening and He finished in the morning ,dont understand, when did God visit Adam in the Garden, it wasnt in the morning of days but in the evening of days when it was cool. If we follow God and the way that He worked, then we would do our labour in the cool of the evening. A lot of people that I councel say that their life is near the end because of their age and they cant do anything for God. This is the evening of day, but I remind them of all the works that God did in the evening, and Sara being beyond child bearing age became pregnant. We can do a lot in the evening of our days its not the time to stop but a new begining of works based on faith. Some people start a new career at a later time in their life, marry late in life, have families late in life, so why not try working for Jesus late in your life. We have all been called to do a work for God, all we hafe to do is find out what it is and persue it. In the evenings is my time with God, when the lights are low and the sounds of the days hustle and bustle are gone into history. When the birds no longer sing and the animals of the field are quiet and asleep. Some time when you go visit a loved one, who has gone to be with Jesus, walk around a little bit and look at the other tomb stones. Notice the dates upon them and ask yourself, what did this person do with his or her dash. You know, the dash that is always put in between the day of birth and the day that they died. I looked at one that had ,.... Born sept. 15.1800-Died Aug 22.1885. Look at the dash, what did this person accomplish in his life for Jesus and his family. Did he start his work for God in the morning of his days or was it in the evening of his life? What are you going to do with your dash, when are you going to do your labour for the Master? We are promissed in scripture, three score and ten years of life, but this man above was blessed another 15 years. Look at Hezakiah, he was told that he was going to die but throu prayer and repentance with bitter tears, God gave him extra life. Not in his morning but in his evening of years.The Old Testiment can be broken down simply into three parts, 1. Generation, the begining of man and his dominion of the earth. 2. Degeneration, the fall of man and his destruction. 3. Regeneration, the regeneration of man and his covenent with God. Rebuilding a life after the flood. Look at these three, number 1 is the morning of life, number 2 is the dash and number 3 is the evening or the begining of the end of the earth as we know it. The prophecys of the comming messiah and the destruction of sin at the battle of armageddon. Its all in there. Can you find any where in scripture that says that the evening of you lives, has to be unuseful? No. Many began new families later in their lives. Even Moses worsheped God untill the day that he died.Some even worshiped God leaning on a staff, age never stoped them. The evening of their lives were profitable. Look at Genesis cpt 5 an 6 ,Adam, Seth, Enos,Cainan, Jared, Enoch and Methusela, all in the evening of their lives and still profitable.Some times our mornings are filled with the excitement of finding out about ,life and the world, that we get caught up in the pride of life and never give our souls a thought, sometimes God starts us out in the prime of our lives and sometimes in the evening. Moses was one of thoses, not useing him in his prime, but God sent him out into the desert molded and shaped him untill he was an old man then God said, Its time Moses, now I can use you.Why at an old age? Because then he, and maby some of us, will hafe to depend intirelly on God . And the evening and the morning were the first day, is it yours today? Are you ready, after God puts you in the desert for 40 years to start your work in the evening, In the cool of the day? To walk with God and depend upon Him, to wake up and see a brighter day with the Lord, full of oppertunities to serve Him? Are you willing to take another look at the Bible and descover the things that youve been missing, the wonderfull mysteries that were once hidden and now become alive, and that same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead ,shall quicken your mortal bodys. Makeing your evening and morning brand new, each time you wake up. Its not time to retire, brothers and sisters, its time to make that journey to the new man and let Jesus strengthen you. Share your faith with the young. Dont judge others on their evening and morning and they wont judge you .Share your stories about Jesus, share yourselves with others.Give us this day our daily bread, our daily feeding of your presious word, O Lord. And let your Evening and Morning be brand new each day, for the Glory of God and for the piece of your souls. Dedicated to my mother, Mary Smith, of 78, who has taught the Bible for 18 years.

Homosexuality and Christianity

2005-07-29T09:37:00.000-07:00

Homosexuality and Christianity

Romans 1:16-1:32
Homo-sexuality and Christianity. Can there be a compromise between the two, can a gay person become a christian and still retain a gay life stile? It seems that the last twenty years has been a difficult time for Christians and especially ministers. The social impact on ministries has been a large one. There have been many that have tried to get the church to under go a change in its approach to sin. Evangelist have a different style of preaching than the ministers or pastors of the church based ministry. The evangelist has been given by the spirit a unique approach to delivering the gospel. Its a type of hell fire and brimstone approach. The evangelist works well on the topics of the day and at times is ridiculed by not only the lost but sometimes by the church. Doesn’t the scriptures state that, we all minister, with the ability that has been given to us ?, Yes it does. There have been articles in the papers, lately, talking about christians in some churches, that want us to be more tolerant to the gay community's and accept them as christians in our churches. But my question, knowing the scripture, is this, "Where in scripture does Jesus say that a christian, can willfully sin and disregard the laws of God?’ It Doesn’t. This has become a unpopular topic with a lot of christians, it seems that no one wants to express their opinion on the subject. Where does Jesus say that ministers would be popular or even accepted in a sinful society? Jesus told the disciples, which, by the way were ministers and preachers also, when you go into a city and was not accepted, brush the dust off your feet as a testimony AGAINST them. The society today, thou, wants us to be, religious and sin tolerant, toward any one with opposing view points. I’m not pointing out any particular church or organization, I’m pointing out what Jesus told us, that would happen. " In the days of Noah.." Remember Soddam an Gamorriah? When Jesus spoke the truth, it was truth. After 30 years preparing to preach, Jesus preached only 3. Look what they did to Him, look what society did to our Saviour, look what the self proclaimed righteous people did to Him without sin. The religious intolerant and sin based society, crucified our Lord, for telling the truth about sin and repentance. We were all guilty of sin, our righteousness was as filthy rags, before God. Those of us that are saved, are saved by the grace of God, and those that are lost are lost because they haven’t repented of the sin they commit willfully. Was Jesus afraid to go to the cross? Look at the prayers at the garden for your answer, ponder what He said, and then answer this question. Are we afraid in telling the truth, are we afraid of retribution for standing up for righteousness, didn’t Jesus tell us that we would be hatted above all men for our belief in Him? What was the condition for our admittance into the Family of God, what was our promise to Jesus if He would forgive us of our sins, what did we vow to God, so that we could be called by His name? My promise to Him was to, turn away from sin. Pretty simple isn’t it. Is that too much to do, to inherit eternal joy, to inherit eternal life with Jesus? So then if it isn’t, why all the talk about being tolerant to sin, sin of any kind, the word says, that if you transgress against one law then your guilty of all the law. Most christians that I’ve talked to, don’t understand that, in Gods eyes a thief is just as guilty as a murderer. In Gods eyes a lier will go to hell the same as an adultress. The biggest thing I’ve noticed in the last couple of weeks is a deceiving spirit, getting into some christians, having then to believe that civil unions between gays, is al-right, the newspapers from coast to coast are printing articles from well meaning christians , calling for piece for all gay christians, even the schools from east to west are calling for faith based creation stories to be replaced by the theory of evolution, stating that the children are going to be confused if they are taught both. We all need to pray very hard, for God to intervene in our children’s behalf. Don’t allow this, spirit of deception , deceive you, call sin, what it is and reach out to the gay people and tell them the truth, if they continue in their way of life, they will never be able to inter into the kingdom of Heaven, but a devils hell awaits them. Everyones life style is their own choice but we as Ministers must give all mankind information to make a decision.
Lev 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

God condemned it we have to also. ars Scripture references Gen19;1-28, Romans 1;16-32.

Is God Prejudiced?

2005-07-20T10:41:00.000-07:00

Is God Prejudiced?
The first thing I would like to do is give mans meaning of prejudiced. 1. Opinion formed beforehand: a performed opinion, usually an unfavorable one, based on insufficient knowledge, irrational feelings, or inaccurate stereotypes.
2. Holding of ill-informed opinions: the holding of performed opinions based on insufficient knowledge, irrational feelings, or inaccurate stereotypes.
3. Irrational dislike of somebody: an unfounded hatred, fear, or mistrust of a person or group, especially one of a particular religion, ethnicity, nationality, sexual preference, or social status.
When we speak of God, we speak of Pure Spirit and not flesh. The definitions of prejudice is only accountable to man and His disbelief in truth and righteousness. As we see in Jer 13:23, man is accustomed to doing evil and not good.
“Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.”
Lets take a look at some words from the definition.
1. Irrational dislike.
Gods answer. Mat 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
2. Ill-informed opinions.
Gods answer. Mat 23:33-35. Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
3. Inaccurate stereotypes.
Gods answer. Mat 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Mar 6:11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. 4. Unfounded hatred.
Gods answer. 2Pe 2:4-9. For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment:And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished.
5. Insufficient knowledge.
Gods answer. Pro 2:2-6. So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
[Ref. Exo_31:3; 1Ki_3:9, 1Ki_3:12, 1Ki_4:29; 1Ch_22:12; Job_32:8; Isa_54:13; Dan_1:17; Dan_2:21, Dan_2:23; Luk_21:15; Joh_6:45; Eph_1:17, Eph_1:18; Jam_1:5, Jam_1:17 ]

Pro 14:18 The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
Pro 18:15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
Pro 21:11 When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.

I have read many an article condemning Christians, especially preachers, for standing up for the word of God. Subjects as Homo-sexuality, Religion, Non- tolerance of Idol worship in their communities, and the such. They are always using the Bible as a source of self justification. They proclaim that God is all loving and, we should be like Him. But I'm afraid to say to these people, we are being as our Father in Heaven. We cannot justify, sin, unrighteousness nor ungodliness. We, as Christians, have been asked to accept teaching in our schools that are contrary to our belief in the Holy Scriptures. When many are calling for a separation of Church and State, then why are the forces of darkness allowed to teach anti-christian formats within our society. Changing children hearts from God to a form of self proclaimed religion. Corrupting society with false teaching. And all in the name of Unity.
Lets read a little Scripture.

Isa 1:4-5 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
Jer 9:2-5. Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men. And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD. Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders. And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.
Job 11:3 Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
This is the Word of God.“Making them an ensample.” Gal 5:19-21. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Rev 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
Ask yourself this question. After you have read the words of God, do you believe that we are to try to justify these types of people or warn them? Its not a matter of prejudice against these types of people, its a matter of loving them enough to warn them and to resist them. Warning them of the impending judgment. Resisting them in their efforts to teach their way of life to our children. So, Is God Prejudiced? You Answer.

If Jesus Never Came.

2005-07-18T05:11:00.000-07:00

If Jesus Never Came. by Anthony Smith 2 Peter 2:4-2:11 If Jesus Never Came. part 1. A look at, Athiest, Agnostice, Humanist and Freethinkers. There are many people that call themselves atheist, to me an atheist is an agnostic without a clue. I believe if we took a poll on atheist from ever major war, we would find out many Atheist were turned into Agnostics and Agnostics were turned into believers. An atheist is; One who disbelieves or denies the existence of God or gods. An agnostic is;One who believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a God. One who is skeptical about the existence of God but does not profess true atheism. Why are Athiest, Agnostice, Humanist, Freethinkers and the like so preoccupied about proveing that God and His Son Jesus dont exist? Is there something in the Bible that scares them so much that we have become a threat to them? It doesnt take much not to believe in something, but it takes all to believe in God. Christianity, in mankind, is not perfect by any means. The Apostil Paul stated, “Let us go on to perfection...”Heb 6:1. We disagree many times over many subjects but we all have come to the agreement that we can all disagree. I think that is pretty civil of us, dont you? Well lets put it this way, If God didnt exist then neither would, Athiest, Agnostice, Humanist or Freethinkers. Now lets take a look at the world as If Jesus Never Came. An atheist states that God or gods dont exist, this is not entirely the truth on their part. An Atheist doesnt believe in the Theory of Darwin so that makes him a believer in a higher power. They believe, or are interested, in spirituallity and sense spirituallity is a religious term they lie to themselves. So we will look at it from that point of view. The question that these people should be asking is “Who created religion?” Athieism, Agnosticeism, Humanism or Freethinkers are terms that constitute a religion. Religion is actually;Belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe. A personal or institutionalized system grounded in such belief and worship. The life or condition of a person in a religious order. A set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader. A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion. Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. In this statement the Bible speaks not a word about religion or worship, you would be, in fact, hard pressed to find any mention of these subjects untill Chapter 4. A covenant relationship didnt arrive untill chapter 6. Again religion is still not mentioned, so what was God doing with man? He was making a pact, a promise and a covenant, not religion. Religion came into effect begining in chapter 10 with Nimrod. The Hebrew name Nimrod means "let us rebel," given by his contemporaries to Nimrod as one who ever had in his mouth such words to stir up his band to rebellion. Nimrod subverted the existing patriarchal order of society by setting up a chieftainship based on personal valor and maintained by aggression. [Fausset] This is an athesist comment; ”I am interested in spirituality, and I have a general interest in the history of Christianity and the bible. I find most of the active Christians I meet to be nice people, and I am fascinated by how they twist and avoid the truth in order to claim the Bible is somehow holy. I also see it mis-used often in Politics, and I always urge people to read the bible, line for line, so in that respect we have the same goals. I would love for bible reading to be compulsury in public schools, line for line, without Christian spin.” Most athesist fall under the catigory in religionism; A state of often extreme religious ardour; {Fiery intensity of feeling.} Morris notes, "The essential identity of the various gods and goddesses of Rome, Greece, India, Egypt, and other nations with the original pantheon of the Babylonians is well established. [In fact], Nimrod himself was apparently later deified as the chief god (’Merodach’ or ’Marduk’) of Babylon.(Rom. 1:23)And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Babylon means the “Gate of God.” The citizens of Babylon had rejected the knowledge of the true God. Therefore, we should expect the creation of a false religion as part of their dubious cultural achievements. Again, the Bible speaks of "mystery Babylon," that is, of the reality symbolized by the earthly city, saying that it is "the mother of prostitutes and of the abominations of the earth" (Rev. 17:5). This refers, as do the ideas of prostitution and abomination throughout the Bible, to false religion.Turn to any book on astrology and you will find that it was the Chaldeans (another name for the inhabitants of Babylon) who first developed the zodiac by dividing the sky into sections and giving meanings to each on the basis of the stars that are found there. A person’s destiny is said to be determined by whatever section or "sign"he is born under. [THE TOWER OF BABEL AND THE CONFUSION OF LANGUAGES] by Lambert Dolphin So as you can see in just the 1st couple of Chapters in Genisus, that it was man that started religion and not God. God, in the begining of man had to deal with rebellion and hatred of His athourity by man, because of the Fall of Adam. Remember the meaning of religion,A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion. Quote”I am fascinated by how they twist and avoid the truth in order to claim the Bible is somehow holy.”Unquote Holy means; 1.Regarded with particular reverence or respect: blessed, hallowed, sacred. 2. Protected from violation or abuse by custom, law, or feelings of reverence: inviolable,Protected from violation or abuse by custom, law, or feelings of reverence Belonging to, derived from, or associated with a divine power; sacred. Regarded with or worthy of worship or veneration; revered: a holy book.Living according to a strict or highly moral religious or spiritual system; saintly: a holy person.Specified or set apart for a religious purpose: a holy place.Solemnly undertaken; sacrosanct: a holy pledge.Regarded as deserving special respect or reverence: Athiest, Agnostice, Humanist, Freethinkers very seldom attack The New Testiment for they see the Old Testiment as a key to destroy all beliefe. War in the old Testiment is a key target of many people. They fail to understand that it was mans lack of understanding, compassion and duty to all mankind that caused war. James 4:1, puts it this way; From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Lusts is the key word here. Man in the, Old as well as the New Testiment, even continueing on today, is the primary cause of death and destruction. In the Old Testiment, God had to destroy man so that mankind could survive, or evolve, eather way you wish to look at it. The reason for the flood and the death of all but a few lets look at; Gen 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.Gen 6:13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. The question here is,”Did God give mankind a chance to repent?” The answer is Yes.Here is their answer for death of men, women and children in the Old Testiment. 2Pe 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;2Pe 2:5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;2Pe 2:6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;2Pe 2:7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 2Pe 2:8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)2Pe 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: 2Pe 2:10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.2Pe 2:11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. 2Pe 2:12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; Mans, corruption, evil, lust, greed and disreguard for other human life, brought about their own destruction, remember that evil brings forth evil and cannot change for it is not in its nature to do so. As for the wars that Israel fought but the order of God, 2nd Peter 2:4 thru 10, also answers that question. End Part 1. ars

Knowing your Enemies,The Quran and the Bible.

2005-07-14T11:40:00.000-07:00

Matthew 1:1-28:20 Knowing your Enemies,The Quran and the Bible. This is a side by side comparison of the Quran and The Bible.Will a man be willing to exchange lawfulness for lawlessness, righteousness for unrighteousness, life for death and even God for false Idols? Lets look at the comparison of the Quran and the Bible and find out. On Jesus. The Quran mentions Jesus 28 times by name. 1. Al-Baqara{The Book of the Cow} verses 87, 133, 256. In these verses Jesus is mentioned, with Mary, as only a prophet.And that Jesus had only degrees of Honor given to Him and Mary from Allah. Ismail is listed as the first son of Abraham and the preferred son over Isaac. 2. Aal-E-Imran, {The Book of The Family of Imran} Verses;3,45,52,55,59& 84. Mentions the Gospel of Jesus as only a guide to right and wrong. Verse 84, Jesus is said to be no different than any other. Verse 85, states that anyone having any other religion is lost. Verse 55, is a contradiction of of verse 85. Here it states that those that follow Jesus are superior to those that reject Faith. Verse 52, states that the selections of the Deciles of Jesus was spontaneous and that all deciles were Muslims. Verse 45, is an account of Mary and Her bearing of Jesus. Stating that She will call Him Christ Jesus, The Son of Mary. 3. An-Nisa,{The Book of Women} 157, 163, 171. Verse 157 states that the death of Jesus was only a deception, that Jesus was translated up to Heaven without seeing death. Verse 163 states that Jesus, along with others were only people of inspiration to mankind. Verse 171, Jesus is mentioned only as a messenger. The Trinity is denied, Son ship of Jesus is denied. God is mentioned as only 1 in personage without separate deity. 4.Al-maeda {The Book of the Table,The Table Spread}Verses;46,78,110,112,114,116. Verse 46, Jesus is mentioned as only sent to Confirm the Law. Verse 78, Jesus is mentioned as only sent to curse the children of Israel that would not believe. Verses 110 thru 116, state that Jesus was only the Son of Mary. The disciples wanted a sign from Heaven as to the truth and Allah sent them a sign. 5.Al-Anaam {The Book of Cattle,Livestock} Verse 85.Jesus is mentioned with Zakarai, John and Elias as only men of righteousness and as prophets. 6. Maryam{The Book of Mary} Verses 34 & 35 again denigh the deity of Jesus. 7. Al-Ahzab,{The Book of The Clan, The Coalition, The Combined Forces} Verse 7 states again that Jesus was only the Son of Mary. 8.Ash-Shura,{The Book of Council,Consultation} Verse 13, states that there be no division between Jesus, Moses and Abraham, they are to be rendered the same honor as prophets. 9. Az-Zukhruf, {The Book of Ornaments of Gold,Luxury} Verses; 57,61,63. States that Jesus was only a servant, and a sign of the end, a sign of judgment. 10. Al-Hadid {The Book of Iron} Verse 27. Jesus is mentioned as a follow up of Noah and Abraham. 11.As-Saff,{ The Book of The Ranks, Battle Array} Verses 6 & 14. Verse 6 states that Jesus declared that a man named Ahmad shall come after Him. Verse 14 again denies the Deity of Jesus calling Him only the Son of Mary. Now lets look at the Bible and compare. 1.Matthew 1:1 & 2. “The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;” Notice that Ismail is not listed in the Generations of Jesus, because he was from the bondwoman. The Quran never states that Jesus was the Son of David, the Son of Abraham or the Son of Man. 2.Mat 11:10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.Mar 1:2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. Mar 1:3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Mar 1:4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. The Quran states that Jesus was the Messenger and not John the Baptist.3.Mar 1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; The Bible clearly states that Jesus is the Son of God. The Quran denighs it. 4.The Bible concerning Ismail. Gen 21:10 thru 12 Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.And the thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight because of his son. And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called. “for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.” The Quran states that it was Ishmail and not Isiac that was first in line for inheritance. This is where a great rift came into being between the seed of Isiac and the seed of Ishmail. This war has continued for over 6,000 years and will be completed at the Battle of Armageddon. Page 2. On Enemies. The Quran is very decisive on enemies, the pages contradict themselves. Enemies are labeled as those who are unbelievers of Allah and the Quran. 1. Fussilat;41:44. The Qyran states that the Books are to be in Arabic only and that only an Arab can understand its meaning. Again the books contradict itself, for the copy of the Quran I have is written in English. 2. Al-Anfal; 8:67. Here is states that there will be no prisoners of war until the land is conquered. Most of the Quran speaks of hateing enemies and killing them because of their unbelief in the Quran and Allah. 3. Al-Isra,17. This Book is very different in wording and meaning.The word, “we”, is used very often showing that it is man that was in charge of the threats and punishment of the Children of Israel and of unbelievers. The Quran must be read literally and not spiritually, for it was not given spiritually by God. The Quran is not a spiritual book but a book of mandated, laws,orders and punishments. In reading it, for me, was a task not lightly taken. The passages are full of hate and threats, contradicting itself time after time. Hate and killing, threats and murder. There is no set order to the writings. It seems to ramble on and on covering the same theam over and over again. It not only contradicts itself, but when it does parallel the Bible it is cut and edited so badly that the meaning is totally lost. The Bible; On Enemies. 1.Mat 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 2.Mat 5:46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 3. Luke 1:70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: 4.Luke 1:71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; 5.Luke 1:72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; 6.Luke 6:35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.7.Matthew 5:21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 8.Matthew 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. 9.Matthew 19:18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, 10.Matthew 5:27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery11.Matthew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. 12.Matthew 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. The Deciles coming from Galilee, and Israel were not Moslum as the Quran states. Heb 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: Heb 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: Act 7:42 Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness? Act 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. Mat 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Mat 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Isaiah had prophesied, "Speak comfort to Jerusalem, and cry out to her, that her warfare is ended, that her iniquity is pardoned; for she has received from the Lord’s hand double for all her sins" (Isaiah 40:2). So God had said in the Old Testament, Malachi 4:5-6, "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse." Jesus Himself bore witness to John Himself. He said, in Matthew 11:13-14, "For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. And if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is to come." Therefore, John the Baptist, who baptized Jesus, was a descendant of the High Priest Aaron and the last high priest. The Bible also testified to John’s being a descendant of Aaron in the Old Testament (Luke 1:5, 1 Chronicles 24:10). As for being Moslum; Matthew 1:1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham Matthew 1:17 “So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.” These men from Abraham to Jesus were Jewish of the House of Israel.Joshua Chapters 20 thru 24 prove that God is dealing with The House of Israel and not the gentile nations, of which Muslims are a part of. Rev 7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.Rev 7:5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.Rev 7:6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.Rev 7:7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.Rev 7:8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.Lets take 1 name,”Peter”Peter Of Bethsaida on the sea of Galilee. The Greek for Hebrew Kephas, "stone" or "rock." Simon his original name means "hearer"; by it he is designated in Christ’s early ministry and between Christ’s death and resurrection. Afterward he is called by his title of honor, "Peter". Son of Jonas (Mat_16:17; Joh_1:43; Joh_21:16); tradition makes Johanna his mother’s name. Brought up to his father’s business as a fisherman on the lake of Galilee. He and his brother Andrew were partners with Zebedee’s sons, John and James, who had "hired servants," which implies a social status and culture not the lowest. He lived first at Bethsaida, then in Capernaum, in a house either his own or his mother-in-law’s, large enough to receive Christ and his fellow apostles and some of the multitude who thronged about Him. In" leaving all to follow Christ," he implies he made a large sacrifice (Mar_10:28). The rough life of hardship to which fishing inured him on the stormy lake formed a good training of his character to prompt energy, boldness, and endurance.The Jews obliged their young to attend the common schools. In Act_4:13, where Luke writes the Jewish council regarded him and John as "unlearned and ignorant," the meaning is not absolutely so, but in respect to professional rabbinical training "lairs," "ignorant" of the deeper sense which the scribes imagined they found in Scripture. Aramaic, half Hebrew half Syriac, was the language of the Jews at that time. The Galileans spoke this debased Hebrew with provincialisms of pronunciation and diction. So at the denial Peter betrayed himself by his "speech" (Mat_26:73; Luk_22:59). Yet lie conversed fluently with Cornelius seemingly without an interpreter, and in Greek His Greek style in his epistles is correct; but Clement of Alexandria, Irenaeus, and Tertullian allege he employed an interpreter for them. He was married and led about his wife in his apostolic journeys (1Co_9:5). Even the History written on each individual man, without any bias, states clearly that the Deciles and all the other men mentioned in the Quran, as being Muslim are wrong. The Quran trys to parallel the Bible in many way but as Jesus warned us in the Book of Revelation, not to add to nor take away, this warning is ignored by those that force their belief on others. More and more contradictions that are even at odd with written History. There are other false doctrine besides the Quran. Many may ask, “Why do I need to know this information?” The reason is that prophecy is being fulfilled and the Christian community need this information to be able to stand the persecution that will come upon this world.The Christian Religion is first in the World followed closely by the Muslim Religion.Here is a bit of Prophecy being fulfilled today.Jerusalem, 6 February 2005Cabinet Communique(Communicated by the Cabinet Secretariat)At the weekly Cabinet meeting today (Sunday), 6 February 2005:1. The Cabinet discussed the situation of religious services and religious structures, and local authorities’ debts to religious councils. Ministers heard briefings on the these issues, according to which there has been a complete freeze since January 2004 on the renovation and construction of religious structures (ritual baths and synagogues). Prime Minister Ariel Sharon summarized the briefings and subsequent discussion by saying that the situation regarding religious structures will be fully resolved by this summer, and that the synagogues will - upon completion of their construction - be delivered to the local authorities. The Prime Minister instructed that the issue of the renovation and construction of ritual baths be finished as soon as possible even as the issue is examined in accordance with the proposal of Prime Minister’s Office Director-General Ilan Cohen, Construction and Housing Ministry Director-General Shmuel Abuav and Attorney General Meni Mazuz.Prime Minister Sharon emphasized the major importance of providing religious services to the population. He said that while the issue of religious council reforms will be submitted to the Cabinet this month, the implementation of the reforms taking several months, during which time the local authorities will have to transfer some of the religious councils’ budgets. The Prime Minister said there cannot be a situation in which ritual bath attendants and rabbis go unpaid and in which religious services are not provided due to the non-payment of salaries. Israel must have proper religious services.There are so many fallisies in the Quran that listing them all would be a life time job. What I have covered is just a small sampel.So lets start look closely at our life, examine our standing with God and be on the watch for false religions .ars

The Bible and the Catholic Church.

2005-07-14T11:38:00.000-07:00

Luke 20:46-20:47 The Death of a Pope. The Bible and the Catholic Church. There has been many an article written about the death of the Pope of Rome. Many in the Catholic Church are praising him on His works and even saying that he was just about as popular as Jesus Christ. They called Him the Super Pope, holy father, our father and Father of Catholicism. Many a Christian believer, being interviewed, never once stated that what the Catholic Church has been doing was against the Scriptures. This sermon is not intended to put down any religion but to in-lighten many into the word of God and many questions that the Catholic Church refuses to answer. Lets look at the Scripture and see what Jesus had to say. Luke 20:46-47 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts; Which devour widows’ houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation. Question 1. Has the Catholic Church adopted the ways of the Sadducees and Pharisees? ” which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets.” Question 2.”Which devour widows’ houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.” After this verse, has the property holdings and grand church buildings become a way of life for the Clergy, when the poor in their congregations suffer for daily needs? Question 3. “and for a shew make long prayers.” And what about the long prayers to Mary, The Mother of Jesus? Have they made Her a god after Jesus and the Heavenly Father? And what about calling the Pope,”Holy Father” is this not makeing Him equal to God? For that is Gods Title. Luke 11:27-28 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. Jesus rebuked the woman. Jesus had no intention for us to worship or pray to Mary. Prayers outside the name of Jesus are unanswered and useless words.Jesus was against a grand show of religion, the large temples, the fine dress, long robes and costly jewelry. Why. The people that He was reaching were the Poor of this life. Those that had neither, costly raiment nor even some times the cost of food. You may say,”Well what about the temple that Solomon Built? Wasn’t it a large one?” Yes it was, but look at what happened to it, the corruption and rendering the faith to none effect. The temple of Solomon was Ordained by God, because of His love for His people. But the People turned it into a place for the rich and powerful. They turned something beautiful into a place of thieves. Question 4. Has the Catholic Church turned the Papal position into a king state, who reins rather than serves? 1Peter 5:3 Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. God suffered Israel to have a King, but from the begining this was not intended to be so. Question 5. Does the Pope of Rome have the ultimate authority in Interpretation of Scripture? 2Peter 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. Many would say yes. Decieveing the masses that their interpretation is the only one that is true and binding upon the people. Do we look to Rome for our understanding of Scripture or to be taught? No.Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.2Ti 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. The Bible states that if you are guilty of one point in the law then you are guilty of all. Question 5. What about having women as priest? Is this not a violation of 1Ti 2:12 ? But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. Paul stated very clearly that a woman cannot hold a position over a man. Question 6. What about honoring the Pope and Priest as “Father”?Heb 5:4 And no man taketh this honor unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. Eph 4:18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Mat 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. How can we accept a man as Father when Jesus commanded us not to. Ministers, priest, evangelist, pastors, teachers and yes, even Popes, are just men. We accept the responsibility as leaders in the Church, to protect, teach and guide others into the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are not lords over the flock but humble shepards. The Bible tells us to give double honor to those whom preach the gospel, but not to bow or worship them. That honor belongs to God. For He is worthy. Question 7. Has the catholic church fulfilled this next verse? Matthew 21:13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. The answer is in the word ”Thieves” What is a thief? “One who steals, especially by stealth.” Then can we say that when the catholics call any priest, or the Pope, ”Father” or ”Holy Father” are they not stealing from the Glory and Honor that is our Heavenly Fathers? Question 8. When they say that the Pope of Rome is the Head of the Church, doesnt that state that Jesus is no longer the head of the Church? Isn’t that stealing His position? Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. Rev 1:20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches. Question 9. Where in scripture is it located, whereby Jesus ordered one man to be in controll of all churches? Where is the Title Pope located? Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; Eph 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Mat 24:1-2 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. Mat 23:27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness. According to the latest survey, the Catholic Church is loosing controll of the European and United States, as far as membership, but are concentrateing on Africa for converts, but according to some reports, they have no idea on how to handel the poverty of the people. Are they relying on themselves to aid these people and forgetting about our source and supply, God? Matthew 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. Why did Jesus say this? Because of the traditions, that man, in the church had made, these things being not of God. Because they were teaching their laws and traditions to others, makeing them also guilty. Laws, customs and traditions that were and are still contrary to the word of God. Popes, Priest, Rosary Beads, Conclaves and Sainthood Rituals, none even mentioned in the Bible. Where is their authority to make one person a Saint above another, from whom does it come from? Where did God or Jesus ever state that any man can add to the Holy Scriptures? Was not this the reason for the fall of the House of Israel? For the destruction of the Temple of Solomon? Wasn’t this the reason for Jesus having to die on the Cross? And what about these next few verses?Luke 14:12-14 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just. James 2:5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? Have we become just as guilty as those who say that they are in charge? Are we also overlooking the poor in this life to build as the Catholics build? And what about man made doctrine, doctrines that doesn’t show up in Scripture? Mark 12:38 And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces, Matthew 16:12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. Phi 3:2-3 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.[Concision;A cutting off; a false circumcision]. For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. We do not look to Rome, with the Idols, standing in a row. idolotrous statues, that came from Babylon, supposedly, re-dedicated to God. God is not partaker of Idol statues. Have you ever wondered why God never allowed us to have an image of Himself? Because we would have turned to His image and not to His Spirit to worship. Have the Catholic Church turned the office of Pope into a thing of worship? Yes. pictures, paintings, post cards, statues, ect. all with the immage of a man. Mat 22:18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?Mat 22:20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?Mat 22:21 They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s. Under line this piece of Scripture and Remember it. “and unto God the things that are God’s.” We dont look to Rome.We look to God and we keep an eye on Jerusalem as commanded by Christ. Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 2Pe 3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. Warning after warning from Jesus on the state of affaires of mans, philosophy, traditions, vain deceit, and error. Gal 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. This is just a quick insight into the traditions of man and a look at the Catholic Church and The BIble. ars.

Its OK. To Love

2005-07-14T11:35:00.000-07:00

2nd Corinthians 2:4-2:4 Its OK. To Love. There are many occasions in our life that we love someone dearly. Sometimes it the first person that we see and sometimes we must hunt most of our lives to find that special someone. There are also ocassions that we never find that person that we are looking for, but we still have love to give. Love is not physical, love is a place in our spirit that needs to be filled. Sex is not love but only the expression of it. Love is sharing the good times and the bad. Love is an opportunity to deliver ones soul to another for safe keeping. Love is a fulfillment of Ideas and thoughts. Love is the union of two minds, two hearts and two souls. Love is sacrificing ones self for another. Pain, Suffering, anguish and many sleepless nights are also common in love. Tears and sorrow in the loss of a love. Many have asked, ”With all this, Is Loving someone really worth it?” The answer is yes. Without love Jesus would have never died for strangers and sinners, God would have never gave His Son for a sacrifice. Lets read a little scripture. Love is fulfillment of the Law of God and any thing out side of Gods law is an abomination and not love. 2Co 12:15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; {Paul is speaking, not financially but of his life. Sometimes we give all for the one we love.} though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved. {This is very true. Sometimes we love so much that what we receive in return is less than what we give.} 2Co 6:6 By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, { Love takes many forms. There are too many people that relate love with the pleasures of the body. These people are missing out of what love is all about.} 2Co 2:4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; { The sacrifice of the heart, as Paul states, is one of the purest forms of love.} not that ye should be grieved, {Not allowing the other to suffer but to command all suffering to ones self.} but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you. { The sacrifice of ones self is always recgonised by the other. Some of the greatest love is when we scrafice all without letting anyone know it.} In John 14:15, Jesus commanded Love but does demand it, there is a difference. “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” Are we commanding or demanding love? Have we gotten so self-centered in our own lives that we forget what love is? How many, here today, are willing to give their own lives over to the other? Are willing to give up your own life, needs, desires, wants and goals for someone else? Lets take, Mark 12:33as an example. [Speaking of God]“And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.” And to love with ALL, Heart, Understanding, Soul and strength. Is this not what we are to be doing with our husbands and wifes? Are we not also to be doing this with our enemies and neighbors? Are we not to be doing this with ourselves? To love with all our Heart, that is who we are inside and not outwardly. We can always find people that will love us outwardly. This is a false love, a love that exists only for the moment. To love with all our Understanding, Understanding the needs and wants of the other. Being there when the other crys, for no apparent reason, being there when the other is depressed or down and not knowing why. To love with all our soul, the part of us who makes us an individual, the thoughts, the emotions, the feelings, one for another. I have always said, I am who I am by the grace of God. To love with all our strength, loving to the fullest measure that is within our ability. Jesus gave His life, knowing well that He would be able to take it up again unto Himself. We can Love, with all we are and still be assured that we are still in control of who we are. We do not have to give up our identity to love. We are still an individual, still able to make decisions based on what is right and what is wrong. Is Jesus stating, in John 10:17, that His Father would not have loved Him if He refused to be the Sacrifice for man? No. Jesus is stating that no matter what His decision, His Father would always love Him. “Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.” John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Can you love someone that doesn’t love you, can you express love to someone else that refuses to return that love? Yes. Jesus did and we can. We don’t have to be ashamed to express love. Expression is a way of venting our thoughts and feelings. To paraphrase a verse of scripture, the love of God, and the love of man, is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost. Just because others don’t love you doesn’t mean that you cant love them, just because others don’t show love to you doesn’t mean that you can show love to them. Rom 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. Rom 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. We don’t have to be ashamedto love. We can show love in many ways. Does a man love his children when he refuses to feed them, does a man love his spouse when he refuses to care for them, does a man love God when he refuses to serve Him? No. Refusing to feed, to care and to serve is the absence of love and the breaking of the Law and not the fulfillment of it. There are many verses in scripture that state what love is, the love of God, the love of Spouse, the love of neighbor, the love of enemy and the love of Children. Lets not be afraid to love. ars

If Jesus Never Came. part 1

2005-07-14T11:31:00.000-07:00

2nd Peter 2:4-2:11 If Jesus Never Came. part 1. A look at, Athiest, Agnostice, Humanist and Freethinkers. There are many people that call themselves atheist, to me an atheist is an agnostic without a clue. I believe if we took a poll on atheist from ever major war, we would find out many Atheist were turned into Agnostics and Agnostics were turned into believers. An atheist is; One who disbelieves or denies the existence of God or gods. An agnostic is;One who believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a God. One who is skeptical about the existence of God but does not profess true atheism. Why are Athiest, Agnostice, Humanist, Freethinkers and the like so preoccupied about proveing that God and His Son Jesus dont exist? Is there something in the Bible that scares them so much that we have become a threat to them? It doesnt take much not to believe in something, but it takes all to believe in God. Christianity, in mankind, is not perfect by any means. The Apostil Paul stated, “Let us go on to perfection...”Heb 6:1. We disagree many times over many subjects but we all have come to the agreement that we can all disagree. I think that is pretty civil of us, dont you? Well lets put it this way, If God didnt exist then neither would, Athiest, Agnostice, Humanist or Freethinkers. Now lets take a look at the world as If Jesus Never Came. An atheist states that God or gods dont exist, this is not entirely the truth on their part. An Atheist doesnt believe in the Theory of Darwin so that makes him a believer in a higher power. They believe, or are interested, in spirituallity and sense spirituallity is a religious term they lie to themselves. So we will look at it from that point of view. The question that these people should be asking is “Who created religion?” Athieism, Agnosticeism, Humanism or Freethinkers are terms that constitute a religion. Religion is actually;Belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe. A personal or institutionalized system grounded in such belief and worship. The life or condition of a person in a religious order. A set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader. A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion. Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. In this statement the Bible speaks not a word about religion or worship, you would be, in fact, hard pressed to find any mention of these subjects untill Chapter 4. A covenant relationship didnt arrive untill chapter 6. Again religion is still not mentioned, so what was God doing with man? He was making a pact, a promise and a covenant, not religion. Religion came into effect begining in chapter 10 with Nimrod. The Hebrew name Nimrod means "let us rebel," given by his contemporaries to Nimrod as one who ever had in his mouth such words to stir up his band to rebellion. Nimrod subverted the existing patriarchal order of society by setting up a chieftainship based on personal valor and maintained by aggression. [Fausset] This is an athesist comment; ”I am interested in spirituality, and I have a general interest in the history of Christianity and the bible. I find most of the active Christians I meet to be nice people, and I am fascinated by how they twist and avoid the truth in order to claim the Bible is somehow holy. I also see it mis-used often in Politics, and I always urge people to read the bible, line for line, so in that respect we have the same goals. I would love for bible reading to be compulsury in public schools, line for line, without Christian spin.” Most athesist fall under the catigory in religionism; A state of often extreme religious ardour; {Fiery intensity of feeling.} Morris notes, "The essential identity of the various gods and goddesses of Rome, Greece, India, Egypt, and other nations with the original pantheon of the Babylonians is well established. [In fact], Nimrod himself was apparently later deified as the chief god (’Merodach’ or ’Marduk’) of Babylon.(Rom. 1:23)And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Babylon means the “Gate of God.” The citizens of Babylon had rejected the knowledge of the true God. Therefore, we should expect the creation of a false religion as part of their dubious cultural achievements. Again, the Bible speaks of "mystery Babylon," that is, of the reality symbolized by the earthly city, saying that it is "the mother of prostitutes and of the abominations of the earth" (Rev. 17:5). This refers, as do the ideas of prostitution and abomination throughout the Bible, to false religion.Turn to any book on astrology and you will find that it was the Chaldeans (another name for the inhabitants of Babylon) who first developed the zodiac by dividing the sky into sections and giving meanings to each on the basis of the stars that are found there. A person’s destiny is said to be determined by whatever section or "sign"he is born under. [THE TOWER OF BABEL AND THE CONFUSION OF LANGUAGES] by Lambert Dolphin So as you can see in just the 1st couple of Chapters in Genisus, that it was man that started religion and not God. God, in the begining of man had to deal with rebellion and hatred of His athourity by man, because of the Fall of Adam. Remember the meaning of religion,A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion. Quote”I am fascinated by how they twist and avoid the truth in order to claim the Bible is somehow holy.”Unquote Holy means; 1.Regarded with particular reverence or respect: blessed, hallowed, sacred. 2. Protected from violation or abuse by custom, law, or feelings of reverence: inviolable,Protected from violation or abuse by custom, law, or feelings of reverence Belonging to, derived from, or associated with a divine power; sacred. Regarded with or worthy of worship or veneration; revered: a holy book.Living according to a strict or highly moral religious or spiritual system; saintly: a holy person.Specified or set apart for a religious purpose: a holy place.Solemnly undertaken; sacrosanct: a holy pledge.Regarded as deserving special respect or reverence: Athiest, Agnostice, Humanist, Freethinkers very seldom attack The New Testiment for they see the Old Testiment as a key to destroy all beliefe. War in the old Testiment is a key target of many people. They fail to understand that it was mans lack of understanding, compassion and duty to all mankind that caused war. James 4:1, puts it this way; From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Lusts is the key word here. Man in the, Old as well as the New Testiment, even continueing on today, is the primary cause of death and destruction. In the Old Testiment, God had to destroy man so that mankind could survive, or evolve, eather way you wish to look at it. The reason for the flood and the death of all but a few lets look at; Gen 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.Gen 6:13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. The question here is,”Did God give mankind a chance to repent?” The answer is Yes.Here is their answer for death of men, women and children in the Old Testiment. 2Pe 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;2Pe 2:5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;2Pe 2:6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;2Pe 2:7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 2Pe 2:8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)2Pe 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: 2Pe 2:10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.2Pe 2:11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. 2Pe 2:12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; Mans, corruption, evil, lust, greed and disreguard for other human life, brought about their own destruction, remember that evil brings forth evil and cannot change for it is not in its nature to do so. As for the wars that Israel fought but the order of God, 2nd Peter 2:4 thru 10, also answers that question. End Part 1. ars

Jihad.

2005-07-13T09:08:00.000-07:00

Jihad. Jesus spoke as much about Heaven as He did about Hell. What I would like to do is a little comparison of the Truth of the Bible over the Lies of The Jihad, as the Muslim Nations try to dominate the world with their false religion. Islam believes that the world will eventually convert to Islam if all factions that are non-Islamic are removed.[AKA,Killed] To the Muslums the greatest threat to their world domination is Judaism and Christianity. Which both of these will eventually join together under one saviour Jesus Christ.We will consintrait on The militant interpretation of jihad, for it is the one that many are dieing for and of today. The militant interpretation of jihad, is to suggest a world-view in which hostile anti-Islamic forces [Judaism and Christianity.] are currently preventing Islam from realizing its full potential for peaceful global expansion--[Global Dominance]a world-view in which Islam will eventually be adopted by all mankind [Forced Upon] if these hostile forces [Jews & Christians] are confronted socially and militarily. Offensive jihad is the waging of wars of aggression and conquest against non-Muslims in order to bring them and their territories [Conquer] under Islamic rule. This view is of forced servitude as with Hitler and Stallen. Having a view of God that is intrepreted by a handful of men who will control all aspects of religion. The Saducies and Pharisees, lost power because of this same Ideology that the Muslims of Today are using. "Offensive jihad" is, under classical Islamic law, a campaign that can only be declared by the lawful Islamic head of state, namely the Caliph. Breaking their own law for jihad there is no Caliph to ordane jihad. Tradition stipulates that while only the Caliph may declare an offensive jihad on another country, no authority is necessary for initiation of "defensive jihad" -- because, in this view, when Muslims are attacked, it automatically becomes obligatory for all Muslim men of military age, within a certain radius of the attack, to defend against any foreign attack (the size of the radius being determined by the military circumstances during the attack.) What is being waged today is not defensive jihad but murder. They do not attack military targets, as in real war, but they attack, women and children of all faiths. The Qu-ran states that Jesus was a prophet from God, but they will not adhear to His teachings. Jesus Stated, very clearly; ”Mat 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.” "It was mentioned by Daraj Ibn Abi Hatim, that Abu al-Haytham 'Adullah Ibn Wahb narrated from Abu Sa'id al-Khudhri, who heard the Prophet Muhammad (Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) saying, 'The smallest reward for the people of Heaven is an abode where there are eighty thousand servants and seventy two wives, over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aqua-marine and ruby, as wide as the distance from al-Jabiyyah to San'a. Many of the men who are suicide bombers are brane washed into believeing that sex from 72 wives will be their reward in Heavan. But Jesus Stated again; Luke 20:35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: . If Islam believed that Jesus was a prophet from God, then why do they not believe Him. Isnt this the same as with the Pharisees ? Jesus is mentioned in the Qu-ran 28 times, as being a man of God a Prophet and as being strengthened in the Faith. Then why do they not believe Him? Mat 21:24 - 27; And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things. The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him? But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet. And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. The Jihad, is an excuse for murder and mayhem. Christianity has survived many wars in the past and many attempts by the spirit of anti-christ to destroy it and Israel but we still stand. The Jihad is just another attempt by the spirit of anti-christ to gain controll of all world afaires.Rev 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: Rev 6:10-11 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. John 16:2-3 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.

Bang, Bang,Your Dead

2005-07-12T10:52:00.000-07:00

Preaching the Gospel is an exciting adventure into the past, present and future. Many believe that humanity will continue at its present rate and eventually come together in peace and love. I'm sorry to say that this is just another lie from the father of all lies, Satan. Man is destined to die, no matter what, age, race, color, weather they be rich or poor. Death will not be denighed. As a child, I believe that many of you played games with your friends, some played, Cops and Robbers, and others Cowboys and Indians. The game was always the same, when we came upon our opponent we said, Bang, Bang,Your Dead. Lets look at the reality of the truth. This part of verse comes from Zec 14:12; “Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.” This scripture is stating that the flesh of mankind, that refuse God, shall be obliterated as they stand, bang, bang, your dead for real. Gog & Magog, Armageddon, and the Last war with Satan, which follows the 1000 year reign of Christ, all have the same thing in common. Death and destruction of man-kinds way of life. We as ministers have just scratched the surface of the truth in scripture. Remember Sodom and Gomorrah? Remember how that God decided to destroy all because of the unrighteousness. How the people had forgotten about God and His laws and statutes. How they turned to false gods and idols, homo-sexuality and all manner of debochery? Gen 19:28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace. Jud 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Well my friends, look around you today?“Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet,” No where to run ,no where to hide, no time to repent, no time to ask forgiveness nor say good by to this life. Consumed by fire as you stand upon your feet and at the next moment surrounded by everlasting fire, heat and smoke. Each day that we live brings us closer to death, for some the joy of death and others the shame of it. I am just an old country preacher, some call a Hell Fire and Brimstone Man. But as this world races closer to the end of times, we must warn them that are outside the will of God. Jude gives me the inspiration that I need to continue to preach. Jude 1:10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. As I have said before, I will say again, It doesn't matter what you believe, what matters is what Gods word says. Many are going after, Scientology, Budism, Musleumism and many other isms. Science is the bigest false god that runs rampant in this world today. Christians are being attacked by scientist that are trying to prove the existance of some other way of evolution. Man has corrupted himself with, false doctrine, unrighteous laws and attrocities hand over fist. Christianity has been and will be blamed for all of mans woes. Jude 1:22-23, And of some have compassion, making a difference: There is still a place for compassion. Compassion among those that are willing to hear with their ears and for those that are willing see with their eyes. And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; {The fire of Hell} hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. The garment, the false religion and attitude of man. Every man has religion, every man believes in something, Buda, Allah, False Prophets, Money, Power, Prestige, Government and even themselves. They all believe that what they are doing is right. But their path is leading to a death of all deaths. All of this is religion. Psa 110:6 He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries. When God says enough, then death will be reliesed, as it was in Egypt, but Death will strike quickly and with a vengeance, according to the will of God. Isa 66:15- 16 For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many. Man will not listen to God, man has refused to listen to His ambasitors, prophets and even His own Son. Isa 2:19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. This earth is going to rock and real, like a drunkard. [Extremely important references; Eze_38:18-22, Eze_39:17-20] Rev 9:5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.Rev 9:6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. Can you emagin, people , jumping from cliffs, shooting themselves, drinking poison and not being able to die? A Day of sadness and day of torment a Day of Vengeance. Zec 14:12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem;{Who are these nations that have fought against Jerusalem? All Nations.} Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. As a Nuclear blast only worse. Eze 39:13 Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.Eze 39:14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search. Eze 39:15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog. Its time to stop playing around with space, its time to stop playing with scientology, its time to stop playing around with evolution, its time to stop condemning the Ten Commandments as being subversive to our Children. Coming soon will be, Bang, Bang, Your Dead, for real.

Terror; The Lost War

2005-07-12T10:50:00.000-07:00

Zephaniah 1:14-1:18Terror; The Lost War. {Terror; Intense, overpowering fear.An emotion experienced in anticipation of some specific pain or danger (usually accompanied by a desire to flee or fight).A feeling of agitation and anxiety caused by the presence or imminence of danger. A state or condition marked by this feeling: living in fear. A feeling of disquiet or apprehension: a fear of looking foolish. Extreme reverence or awe, as toward a supreme power. A reason for dread or apprehension} As the Iraq war turns into another Vietnam and Iran remains a nation of anti-Christian, anti-Israely people. I wonder why the Government still insists that the middle east will turn into a democratic stronghold. Democracy and the middle east will never take place. Even the election in Iran was an exercise in futility. No matter who is elected, the Clerics still run the country. Why cant people see that Gods prophecy’s, will and are, taking place. Luke 21:20 tells us, “And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.” Doesnt Luke 21:20 reviele the truth of the world as we see it today. There are many in the Middle East that are preaching peace between them and Israel, but this is because they are afraid of Israel. When the time is right they will strike. Africa is starving to death, The Dead Sea is drying up, Israel is under attack, Earth Quakes are increasing in number, Marriage is being destroyed and the values of many, that were strong just 20 years ago, are slowly slipping away in the name of compromise and unity. Man has polluted and almost used up all natural resources. Familys are afraid to walk down the streets at night, Mothers and Dads are afraid to send their children to school. This my frends is all terror. Terror is right down town, all around. The war on terror cannot be won. Many are deceived that this world will last forever. That things can be changed if we have one world, Religion, Government and Bank. One head of all religious matters. Its time to wake up and smell the smoke. Religion is “NOT” Salvation ! I must say that again,Religion is “NOT” Salvation. Wars and rumors of wars are an item in the news each and every day. 20 years ago we seldom heard of terrorist or wars in multiple countries. We never heard of combining religions into one unit. God was God and Jesus reigned supreme in our lives. Today we are seeing wars over, Oil, Land, Religion and Power. In just the last few weeks I have read of murder-suicides in our home town. Stalkers and terror on ever hand. Saying that a war on terror is win-able is misleading. Terrorist have been on this earth from the beginning and will be untill the end of time. Don’t misunderstand, protecting people from murder is essential but the war on terror is a lost war before it started. We lock our doors because of fear and terror. Lets read an article that was mailed to me from Jerusalem; Foreign Minister Shalom commented on the Iranian elections, maintaining that the election of Ahmadinejad proves that Iran is not interested in reform, conciliation and progress; rather, it is interested in conservatism and extremism.The foreign minister said that it is more probable now than ever before that the Iranian government will arm the terrorist organizations with nuclear weapons and will thereby distribute the nuclear threat all over the world. The connection between terrorism and nuclear weapons is a global existential threat. The international community must form a unified and decisive policy towards Iran, which will assure that the enlightened western nations will not become hostages of an extremist Iran. Lets read a little scripture. 1Peter 3:12- 14: For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? But and if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; 1Peter 3:12- 14 is mistaken by some who believe that God, in these verses ,is promising Christians a peaceful life. That couldn’t be farther from the truth. The key phrase is this; “But and if ye suffer for righteousness’” Many Christians will be immune from violence and terror and then again many will be victims of it. We hear of the wars but very seldom does the news tell of the murders and terrors of Christians, that are taking place each and every day. We Don’t hear of the Christian, women being raped, Christian children being kidnaped and brane washed, nor about Christian preachers being beaten savagely, because of their beliefe in Jesus Christ. This is a war on terror that is being ignored by man. This is a war on terror that is destroying this earth. This is a war on terror that is being lost. Zep 1:14-18 tells it the way it is; “The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers. And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung. Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD’S wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.” The Day of Wrath is comming upon this earth and nothing is going to stop it. I wonder sometimes, what it will take for people to understand the God loves them, just the way they are. He is willing to protect them from that awful day but will not wait long. The days of the gentiles is just about over. 911 was another sign. Iraq, Iran, Pakistan and the terrorist that came with them are all signs that this earth is ready for a change. Gods word will cover the Globe but Christianity will not win the world to Christ. Thats not Biblical.Luke 21:9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. [Ref; Psa_38:20; Pro_15:9;Rom_8:28, Rom_13:3 Isa_8:12, Isa_8:13, Isa_41:10-14, Isa_51:12; Jer_1:8; Eze_3:9; Mat_10:28, Mat_10:31; Luke_12:4, Luke_12:5; John_14:1] ars John_14:27; Act_18:9, Act_18:10.]

The Rape of Israel

2005-07-12T10:47:00.000-07:00

As with the disobedience of the gentile race of people all things must come to a climax. Spiritually and Physically. The times of the Gentiles is almost over. The Last things to be done on behalf of the Gentiles is to ravish Israel. When they shall say Peace and Safety, Then sudden destruction shall come upon them. The world blames Israel for all its problems, many have tried to destroy Her by War and by Terrorism and by Sanctions. World opinion is also been a great tool in the down grading of Gods Land and His Chosen People. Have you ever wondered why, such a small nation can defeat and almost conquer larger nations and enemies than Herself? Its because they are protected by God, to and extent. What do I mean by that? God will only allow so much pressure upon His Children, His prophecy's, from His prophets, Old and New Testament, will be fulfilled. Jesus was also a prophet of Israel's Destiny. There is coming a time in Israel, that all the doubters and scoffers of prophecy, will realize the truth of Gods ministers, warnings. Zec 14:1 thru 9. Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. You can call it Gog and May-Gog, Armageddon or what ever you want to call it, but don't call it past history. There are many that want to argue about time line and periods of time, but they don't want to add-mitt that these things are going to happen. Many are being lulled into sleep, thinking that all is well and nothing else is going to happen except the Rapture. Their wrong, Fire and Smoke, mingled with blood, is going to take place. Israel will become a Nation of plenty, prosperious and rich. Many nation will rise up against her to take away from her. Eze 39:10 So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD .Eze 38:11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates, Eze 38:12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.[Eze. 38:1- 33.] Many are going to die, many are going to suffer and many are going to be left behind. God will not be mauked. Citys of the world are going to fall. If God is going to allow this prophecy to come to pass for Israel, Whom He Loves, Do you think that the rest of the worlds citys are going to be immune, from His Wrath? There is no more turning back, we have become a backslideing world with no where to turn. The Days of the Gentiles is comming to and end. When the devistation comes full circle, 7 women from Israel will approach 1 man and ask for Him to marry them. Isa 4:1 And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach. There will be such death that men will be in short supply. This is not to say that the man will marry all seven, only one. Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. [Exo 15:3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.]God is a God of Love but He is also a God of War. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave {Split in Half} in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. This is not a spiritual meaning as many would like for you to believe, this is a physical meaning, it will happen. “Run, Children of Israel, Run.” And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: [Half Day and Half Night.] Isa 30:25 thru 33. And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall. Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound. Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down {The Anti-Christ}, which smote with a rod.And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it. For Tophet{Tophet, in the Bible, place near Jerusalem, in the valley of Hinnom(henom`), valley, W and S of Jerusalem. Its ill repute in the Bible emanated from the worship there of foreign gods, including supposed child sacrifice to Molech at Tophet . In later Jewish literature it was called Ge-Hinnom.The valley became a refuse site where animal carcasses, waste and the bodies of criminals were dumped, with fires permanently burning to keep disease at bay. The Canaanites sacrificed children to the god Moloch or Molech or Molekh by burning them alive.}And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one. Amo 9:11 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: Cant you see whats happining? Cant you see the days being shortened? Nation against Nation, fathers against sons, mothers against daughter-in-laws. Wars and rumours of wars. Israel is surounded, false peace treatys are being signed. Jews and Christians alike are the target of death by the muslum nations. Wake up O Israel, wake up O world of the Fathers Children, the time is at hand, the Day of the Lord approaches!

CommentairyHere are a few statements that I have read over the last couple of days.“The idea of gay marriage being "terrible and blasphemy" is wrong.”“In this politically correct day and age we are expected to "tolerate" all religions.” “In a letter on June 29, the writer states President Bush is trying to make America a Christian empire.”“If the Bush administration is determined as the letter writer states to have Christian domination and western expansionism, is this not exactly what Jesus Christ commissioned His disciples to do in Mark 16:17?”“Islam condemns all acts of terrorism; Islam accepts no justification for acts of wanton terror and carnage.” Do you see something wrong with each of these statments? I do. Lets take them one by one. 1a.Christianity is Not based on Political parties.1.“The idea of gay marriage being "terrible and blasphemy" is wrong.” In a way this statment is politically correct but the writer has little knowledge of Scripture. Its not Blasphemy but an Abomination worthy of Death.Lev 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. 2.“In this politically correct day and age we are expected to "tolerate" all religions.” In this statment my question is,”By whos Authority?” Luke 16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.3.“In a letter on June 29, the writer states President Bush is trying to make America a Christian empire.” John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. 4.“If the Bush administration is determined as the letter writer states to have Christian domination and western expansionism, is this not exactly what Jesus Christ commissioned His disciples to do in Mark 16:17?” Their intrepretation of Mark 16:17 is incorrect. (TSK) It is fully asserted here, that the apostles of our Lord should not lose their life by poison, and there is neither record nor tradition to disprove it. But it is worthy of remark, that Mohammed, who styled himself the apostle of God, lost his life by poison; and, had he been a true prophet, or a true apostle of God, he would not have fallen into the snare.5.“Islam condemns all acts of terrorism; Islam accepts no justification for acts of wanton terror and carnage.” “But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans whereever ye find them.” Quran At-Tawba, 009.005. Is it not God that takes care of all things? Jesus stated; Mat 13:28-30; He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. Christ never ordered the death of an unbeliever.There are many people in this life with good intentions, but when you state that something is in the Bible, its best to make sure before you speak, so that the Gosple will never be blamed.
