To study nature is to study God.

God created the universe. God created the planet Earth. God created the animals upon this planet. God created humans. Now I am one that does not follow the thinking of creationist. To me that limits God. Too many times humans limit God.
There will be those that say the plagues that the Egyptians suffered was due to a nature disaster. I will say since God created the earth He can control the earth and so made the natural disaster in the first place.
God created all the animals upon the earth and so how they behave is due to His plan. Therefore, when you look at a pride of lions, a herd of elephants and a flock of geese flying in a “V” formation you are looking at God.
The universe is too vast to state that by random chance life formed upon this planet. It is also too vast to state that this is the only planet in the universe to have life.
We are promised upon the return of Christ upon the earth that we will receive an eternal body. Why would you need an eternal body if it were meant to stay solely here upon this planet? It is this very reason that as you look upon nature you will see the hand of God. The mere diversity and complexity of each life form be it a planet or an animal speaks of a divine purpose.
Many animals have gone extinct mostly due to humans. The Moa, the Dodo, and yes even the so-called mythical dragon were killed off by man, known as a Behemoth in the book of Job within the Bible. Trolls of myth could have been Neanderthals, and yet they were still killed off by man as well.
All cultures speak of the flood, even the Aztecs and Maya in murals upon the walls of their pyramids, and yet there are those that deny God is real. If you were to truly watch a hummingbird fly, you could never make such an assumption. For God is so great that He thought of even the most basic things as the very atoms that compose everything within a universe that is so vast it is immeasurable.

Children as pawns of the White House

The board crisis that is assaulting our nation. A crisis designed to tear this nation apart. Tear at the heart strings of people because it is children. Only those that are the most sick self-serving would use children and only those that do not see this as what it is deserves to be made fools of.
The White House has sent a message to Latin America that they are welcome in America. Deportations down, nearly triple the asylums granted and all due to the man in the White House.
This nation is trillions of dollars in debt and all the man in the White House wants to do is spend spend spend, but the man that does not wish to have photo-ops is too busy to do what a true leader would do. Lead from the front. All say they hate those that lead behind the lines yet that is what this man does as he drinks beer and plays pool in a photo-op in the back lines with a governor who days later says no we don’t want those children pawns of yours in my state either.
WAKE UP!!!!!!
It is not the Republicans fault. All people with true hearts hate that these children are being used as political pawns. The only thing that will save these children is an action of power. All president have the power to act quickly in a crisis. This is a crisis. The boarder could have been closed in seventy-two hours with:
1) A national news broadcast from the man in the White House stating the National Guard is now active
2) All people now in detention will be repatriated in two weeks
3) The boarder is now closed.
4) GO TO THE BOARDER AND HAVE A “PHOTO-OP”
Do not support the heartless. Support what is right.
What is right? Saving this bankrupt nation. Create jobs for Americans. Restore financial stability to the middle and lower classes. Loosed restrictive laws that are raising prices. Show that you truly care for these children that are traveling thousands of miles on false dreams by closing the boarder.

What happened to supporting Israel? (The United States of America under Baal)

(Special Note: What is to follow may sound like fire and brimstone, which I try to avoid doing, but you have to understand I do not plan these posting. They are spur of the moment and come from a burden upon my heart and may just be inspired but the Holy Spirit at times or they may not. Take it as it was meant to be given, something for you the reader to think about.)

There have only been two nations formed under God. The first was Israel. The second was the United States of America. Since these two nations are in essence both children of God, they have supported each other both publicly and through our government.
Now though the government is not supporting Israel and there is evidence they are in actuality supporting the enemies of the founding nation under God. Admittedly, Israel has turned their back on God several time through the centuries, which resulted in the nation being destroyed by the Romans. Nevertheless, God promised them they would return and so they have, and who was their biggest supporter when this took place? The USA, but now those in the government are siding with the enemies of Israel. This is wrong.
We have had God forced out of our schools. We have had God forced out of the public light. Now we do not even have God in the government. Enough is enough. It is time for Christianity and Jew alike that lives within the United States to stand up and make our voices heard.
Do you not realize that God has punished the United States before because it lived in sin? The Civil War was God’s punishment for slavery and still that took nearly one hundred more years to fully correct.
Now we have abortion, which in most cases is nothing more than human sacrifice to the god Baal because it is being uses as a method of escape from responsibility instead of used in dire need. Meaning the threat to the life of the mother, a case of rape or a onetime accident, but is instead used to remove child after child just so the parents can continue to live in sin.
We also have God being forced out of our schools and public places. Now we do not support Israel and people think God will not act upon this?
Israel did much the same and they were taken from their homeland for hundreds of years. All because they forgot that God is God.
Well America has forgotten that God is God and if we do not act to correct our sins then God will do it for us and that is something I do not want my children and grandchildren to have suffer because of our sins.
We are being selfish, and from selfishness all other sins come from. Theft, murder, greed, gluttony, war all stem from selfishness and at this time the United States of America has never been so selfish.
People sit at home collecting money from the government not working out of selfishness.
People go to abortion clinics to murder a child because they are so selfish they do not want to be a parent.
They are so selfish they do not watch the news and realize that their nation is in so much jeopardy that it is on the brink of collapse.
To not know the name of our leaders throughout history. To not know what our nation has had to go through to allow them to have the freedom. To be so selfish and self-centered is an abomination before God and you do not think God will do something about it.
It is time not only from prayer, but also for action from those that call themselves Christian and Jewish alike. We need to make our voices heard. We need to contact those in power and get them to know that they are wrong to ignore Israel. We need to vote them out of office if they do not listen or even recall them before their term is up and replace them. Do not sit at home thinking someone else is going to do it because they are thinking the exact same thing.
If they support the murder of unborn children then they need to be voted out anyway. I have no problem allowing women the free-will to choose to keep a child or not, but they need to be educated in a way not to use abortion as a way to continue to live in sin.
This nation is very close to receiving a judgment from God, and it is not going to be good for any of us, including myself.
It is time to realize that God made this nation. It is time to realize that God keeps this nation. Therefore, if God is not happy with this nation it is within His power to remove this nation from the world at large. He has done it before and he will do it again.

A dying breed

Christian, General, Life, Thoughts, , , , , , , , , One comment

In today’s society, being what is called a “gentleman” is a dying breed. It is sad really. To me being courteous is how all should be, be you male or female. The main reason once upon a time men were considered “gentlemen” was because they respected women. Now they tell us to respect them but to treat them as equals. Me? I have always though women to be my equals but still to open doors and pull out chairs for them. This to me shows you care and place others before yourself.
It is a foundation that should be laid in all. It teaches them that other people are more important than they are. Once again, the adage “do unto others as you would have done unto you” comes into play. Something some would attribute to Confucius, but was actually first documented in the book of Exodus in the Bible hundreds of years before his time.
Do unto others as you would have done unto you is the basis of being a gentle-person. To not stand in the middle of a doorway talking, but moving aside to allow others to go in and out is a sign you respect others over yourself. As long as you do not show others respect; how can you be expected to be respected yourself? You cannot.
This is something that is within the foundation of true Christianity as well. If you claim to be a Christian and do not respect others and place others before yourself then you need to start praying and start reading the Bible and then thinking about where you stand in your faith. For as I have said in an other post, that to me selfishness is the ultimate sin, from selfishness all other sins come from. Why? Because you are only thinking of satisfying your own wants and desires, which is opposite of being a gentle-person.
What is it a dying breed should not be when people profess to being Christian since being Christian and a gentle-person walk hand in hand together. It is something that has been pulled out from under us by those that seek to “improve” things for all, but in actuality, we are not moving forward but backward. We are more like the middle ages then we are a modern society all because being kind to others is frowned upon and no longer taught in schools or our churches. It is not PC(politically correct) to do so and at the drop of a hat we risk being sued but those that wish to impose their “progressive” thinking upon all. It should actually be called “Anti-progressive.”
So what can you do to stop the extinction of this dying breed called a gentleman?

He that is without sin cast the first stone

Repeatedly we see posts in here in the blogs, and replies to blogs as well as other places where people attack others because they say they are right. Admittedly, I wouldn’t doubt if some of my posts sounded that way, which I honestly try to avoid, but I speak from my heart and I am after all human.
That is my point we are all human. When Jesus was confronted by the Pharisee to stone the adulteress He then made the statement that is the name of this post. None could do it, not even the Pharisee. When I post I try to deal with facts and how people’s actions are causing problems that can harm the society at large. Being Christian it is our duty to care for others before ourselves. So remaining silent is something we should not do and too many that call themselves Christian has done.
There is a fine line we must walk, we should never be adversarial. Sure, we can be firm, and point out facts that show the problem, and make people think, which is how I always try to frame my posts, and yet I still fail, because I am after I am human. The reason that there needs to be some type of strength in your words is because you have a true hope that you can cause people to realize the errors they are making because the errors they make could cause them suffering that may last a very, very, very long time. Those that call themselves Christian would never want anyone to fail and not see that God is real, for they should know what it means in the long run. For when we go into the next phase of our existence, it will be an eternal one. Eternal for both those that failed and those that realized the truth. We are told what will happen to those that fail. We are vaguely told what will happen to those that are accepted by God.
Why is it so vague? Because it will last forever and each person will have a different experience due to where they stand with God.
No one is without sin that walks upon this earth today. We have all made mistakes but to attack someone for their mistake is wrong, but it is also wrong to allow them. For after Jesus said what he stated unto those wishing to stone to woman, he then turned to her and told her to sin no more. Most leave out this part. Because this is the hardest for all of us to follow, mainly because it is the most important part of this entire episode, even though others would say the opposite.
Here is the important thing you need to learn from this. Yes we all will sin, even after we are saved, but if you are truly saved you will become remorseful and saddened over your actions. You will turn to God in prayer and ask if not beg for His forgiveness. As long has you have this type of attitude He will forgive you and eventually you may even forget you ever did that sin in the first places, which is as it should be. Though you will most likely stumble into other sin and start the process all over again, and why is that? Because we are only human.
That is why it is important to look to yourself first before you go to attack or criticize someone else. As it is also said in the Bible, remove the beam from your own eye before you try to remove the splinter from someone else’s eye. So the next time you are tempted to attack. Think, then pray, then think again. If you feel you must say something. Say it with facts and kindness, and realize that we all will screw up again.

Flower power now in power and boy are they making a psychedelic mess

As I think back over my youth, I think about what I saw on the news and how people protested this and protested that. Anti-religion, Anti-war, Anti-government, Anti- parents. Then I realize that the people that were doing this protesting are now those that have power in this nation. I think back of the last six years and I see how this country is starting to resemble what those in the late 1960s and early 1970s were protesting. They said God is evil and now God has been removed from the public and is constantly attacked every time some tries to place God back where He belongs. They said war was wrong and so pulled our troops out of areas where they were defending our nation from attacks by terrorist and now terrorist are running rampant and the threat to our nation is even worse than before 9/11. They were against the government and now are the government and so are ignoring the constitution, luckily, the Supreme Court has seen the light and is doing what those in congress should be doing.
They were hater their parents and so now they have made the government the parent and the youth are running wild and slaughtering they fellow classmates in their schools. Schools that were safe when God was there.
But no it is not their fault. They have done no wrong. It is still those that support war, it is still those that support a lawful government, it is those that support parents raising their own children with God as the center of it all that are at fault.
Our nation falls apart and they still cannot see that they caused the problem.
What can we do?
Return to God.
Remove incumbents that refuse to follow the constitution.
Return to God.
Reduce the national government and increase the state government.
Return to God.
Defend this nation by closing its boarders and attacking those that attack us first, which the terrorist HAVE done and promise to do again.
RETURN TO GOD!!!!!

The privileged few ….. government employees

Conservative, General, government, Life, Thoughts, , , , , , , One comment

I live daily knowing that if I mess up, commit a false action or steal from the company I work for I will be fired. There are those that do not live under this threat and so that is exactly what they do. They mess up, the commit false actions and they steal, DAILY. Who are they? Government employees.
They actually have laws that make it so they cannot be fired. This is wrong and is something that needs to be changed as soon as possible.
Recently in California, a lawsuit allowed people to be judged on their merit not on how long they worked for the schools. This is the best thing that has ever happened.
I have worked in a union and the worst employees are those that have worked the longest. They know they are untouchable so they mess up and do nothing because they know nothing can be done to them. This again is wrong. If you mess up you need to be fired.
Most of those in the United States live with this over their heads every day and they do their best, for the most part, and keep their jobs.
Now we have those in the IRS and the VA that cannot be fired even though it has been proven they have broken other laws. They need to be fired and/or jailed.

Review: Angel and the Badman (1947) – a portrait in salvation and faith

Christian, General, Movie Reviews, , , , , , Leave a comment

This John Wayne movie which he produced is something not seen in today’s cinema. It shows true Christianity and its influence on those that do not practice it. It is also the story of how a man finds the Lord.
The faith is shown through that of a family of Quakers and their community, which was built for the common use of all within it. A prime example within the movie is when John’s character Quirt Evans goes to a rancher that took over another Quaker’s homestead that had the community dam placed upon it. The rancher soon comes to see the way of kindness and sharing and becomes friendly to his neighbors that he had treated wrongly before.
We see Quirt change from a hardened man bent on revenge to a man that follows the way of God with the help of the woman he falls in love with.
We also see how those that knew him before have a hard time seeing that the man had changed.
I highly recommend this movie for those that wish to learn more on how those that call themselves Christian should really act.

Acceptance

Christian, General, Life, Thoughts, , , , , , , Leave a comment

When it comes to true Christianity, the person that accepts it changes. They no longer think as they use to think. They no longer act as they use to act. Sure, a lot of how they use to be is still there. Their basic personality had not changed in most cases, but how they respond is different. What use to make them angry does not. What use to give them pleasure does not. Even though some aspect of the person you once knew is still seen on the outside by those about them, by those that knew you before you completed your change will make assumptions. Some in time will see the change and come to accept this change in you. But there will be those that do not. They will label you a hypocrite and a liar. They will feel betrayed and abandoned.
Sure, you want to make them understand, especially if they are someone you love, but you must come to realize that this many never happen.
There will be also those that try to tell you that you can still live the life you use to live. They will say sure you can still live exactly like you did before and you are still a Christian and going to heaven. This is not true. You will be tempted, but if the Bible states it is a sin. IT IS A SIN. If you are still early into your Christian faith it is at this time you should seek out and find a good Christian home.
In my own personal growth into Christianity, I sought this out in several large Churches. To my dismay, this actually turned out to be a slide in the wrong direction. It took me decades to find a church home I felt right in and it was a small church. These from further research I feel is the way to go. Do not seek out a church that has hundreds or even thousands that attend it. Seek out a church that at its max one hundred or less. These small churches will actually greet you and accept you as someone seeking to learn your faith and allow you to grow. Will answer your questions and help you address your problems of faith when they arise. This is better than a church of hundreds where you become lost within the faces and no one will be able to help you out, as you may need.
As you grow in your faith, you will change. Sure you will still feel like the person you were before you asked Jesus into your heart, but things that once didn’t bother you will. Especially as you read the Bible and come to understand the message within it, and whom the ultimate author of the Bible is, for even though it was written by man, they received their inspiration from the Holy Ghost. Who directed them to write down the words of God and no other faith can trace it origins back to the beginning of record history itself except the Judeo-Christian faith.

The child abuse that is called abortion

Christian, General, Life, , , , , Leave a comment

First and foremost. If the mother’s life is in danger and the woman is pregnant due to a rape then a I am full support that if the woman chooses she should have an abortion. If there is an accidental pregnancy then should be allowed once with classes on how to avoid it in the future. When someone uses abortion to remove an unborn child just so she can go and have sex again though is child abuse at the least and human sacrifice at the most.
The way abortions are being done today is equal to the worship of a pagan god that demands you kill a baby upon it’s altar. It is used to allow the woman to live in sin and have sex freely with no consequences.
This is against everything that the Bible teaches and so is against God.
Those that call themselves Christian and support this child abuse then they really need to rethink where they stand in their faith.

Revelation 2
18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; these things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;
19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
