For every man shall bear his own burden. (Galatians 6:5)

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

Each person is responsible for their own actions and in-actions. We are not responsible for sin committed by our parent, grandparents so forth and so on.

Galatians 6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

If you do things solely for the world, for and by this body, we now live this life in then we are only seeking after something that is and will rot. Part of this is blaming others for your miseries. Did this mythical “other person” cause you to set in front of a television all day instead of getting up and looking for a job? Did this mythical person that hurt your family one hundred and fifties year ago cause you to not study in school today or yesterday so you can prove you are worth for employment?
These are your actions. You are accountable for you. People who do not take responsibility for their actions, for their mistakes are someone that God weeps in sorrow for.
He does not weep because of their dilemma. He weeps for the people themselves for they are heading down a road that is of the world and the flesh and is corrupt and not worthy of become welcomed before His throne. So God weeps because they have taken a reward that is fleeting and temporal.
God wants all to seek after the eternal rewards. Reward that will not only allow them the stand welcomed before His throne, but to allow them to go throughout all of God creations in His service.
So it is time not blame those that are no longer here to defend themselves, or the descendants. For not only do they not have firsthand knowledge, neither do you. Per God, there must be two witnesses to a crime. This means they must actually see it take place, and none are now alive to be these witnesses. So all are innocent. If you blame them and wish to do them harm either physically or financially then you are the one committing the crime and will reap what you sow.

When you teach the opposite of love you teach hate and thus create chaos

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

Time and again the news in recent years is filled with actions and words of hate. You have a man that calls himself a “reverend” and even holds a Bible saying that all cops hate all blacks. Yet does not police forces throughout this nation have black people within them and even leading them. The very sentence this person states negates itself showing that it is a lie. Yet thousands listen to him as if he is the new messiah and will bring paradise unto them that listen. He has been preaching these same words since the 1970s, should not the paradise have been reached by now? Yet it is worse than ever for those that listen to this man that lives a luxurious life style as he hob knobs with the rich and powerful as he avoids paying his own taxes that will in turn help to improve things for those that he claims he wishes to help.
Then we have a group of men that have taken words out of context in the Qur’an. They say live their way or die a horrible death. Hundreds if not thousands have been behead, several of them recorded and shown throughout the world to promote their way of view and to bring others to their “cause.” They have declared war upon the world and most of the world sits back and does nothing or even runs the other way. Jesus says blessed is the peacemaker, yet at this time no one is trying to make peace they are encouraging, promoting and allowing war because they do not wish to infringe upon the rights of those that are committing these horrors and statements of hate. Their excuse in the United States: “because we have wronged them by trying to impose our values upon them.”
These values they are referring to are those values taught within the Bible and Qur’an. Abraham is the “father” of the nation of Israel and the nations that follow the Muslim faiths. Abraham is the “grandfather” of Christianity since that faith came from the Jewish religion and the teachings of the Son of God the Lord Jesus Christ.
These three religions have a common beginning and so they all three worship the same God, yet due to those like the man first described above pervert the Bible and the Qur’an for their own goals and glorification. They show themselves to be selfish self-serving, self-glorifying humans. The very thing that we are taught to turn away from. Yet they twist the words of these two books to cause those that listen to think it is the truth.
But why do they listen? Why do they not see that they are being taught lies? Because they themselves refuse to read these two books and come to understand their message. Now I can only talk of the Bible for I do not know enough of what is within the Qur’an, but the message of Jesus Christ is very clear. We are to love God first and then we are to love our fellow human beings as we love ourselves. Also in Titus chapter 3, it states that we are to follow and respect the laws of the land and those that are given the job to uphold them.
It is important that each and every person FULLY read their respective religious book. It is extremely important every person truly study and come to understand what is written within these books. If we do not we will fall prey to the wolves walking amongst the sheep and the pack of wolves howling from the darkness just beyond the light of the fire of understanding and knowledge.
Blessed is the peacemaker. The word “peacemaker” means to bring peace, which means there is war and chaos and mayhem. How can you make this peace? It is never made with words it is made with actions. These actions mean to arrest and placed in jail or even unto war. So those that are peacemakers are the police and soldiers as well as those that through action and effort cause the defeat of hate, chaos and bloodshed.
It is good to love all including your enemy, but if your enemy comes at you to kill you have the right defend yourself. If this was not so there would not be nearly one hundred battles listed in the Bible supporting this.

Matthew 15:17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? 18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

“Whoever recommends and helps a good cause becomes a partner therein, and whoever recommends and helps an evil cause shares in its burden.” Chapter 4, Verse 85

When Jesus got angry.

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

There is one time and only one time that it is documented that Jesus Christ got angry. This was when he entered into the temple in Jerusalem. Here he saw corruption and hypocrisy rampant within the Jewish religion.
What can we the Christian take from this? It is obvious that if this is the only thing that caused Jesus to anger then it is those that call themselves “Christian” but their actions and behavior say otherwise then God is most likely not happy with their behavior.
Jesus made it clear that if we place God first and love our neighbors as we love ourselves, which mean to love ALL humankind, no matter what they have done or how they live, then we are giving glory and honor unto to God His Father.
Acts of self-righteousness in most cases are actions which shows you do not love your fellow brothers and sisters of the human race. If you get angry that someone curses or even willfully lives in a life of sin and you turn your back upon them you are in reality turning your back upon God, for you are deny His teachings given to us directly by His Son the Lord Jesus Christ.

True empathy

Christian, General, Guide, Life, Relationship, Thoughts, , , , One comment

The definition of empathy is “the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.”

This is something that many do not have. Many say they do, yet when it comes time to display empathy they stonewall, change the subject or even throw up words that act like chaff blinding the missile of truth from findings its mark.

Luke 10:27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

If you love your neighbor as you love yourself is empathy. Yet this and other teachings of Christ are frowned upon. Why? Because they are teachings of Jesus. They are Christian.
Most in the United States have a huge misconception of the Bible and its teaching. Many that think they are Christian really are not. There are even those that deny God yet they do show empathy and other “Christian” traits and believes, yet they do not know this because they have been lied to by those that wish for them to deny God.
These people that are more “Christian” then many Christians have the foreknowledge that could lead them the Christ and become one of the counted. But will they have this opportunity? I do not know the answer to this question.
What is important is that we teach the Bible, that we show the love of Christ. That we show empathy and love for all humanity.
It is also important that those that believe themselves to be “Christian” search their souls and see if they are just a messed up Christian or a hypocrite.
I struggle with my faith constantly. I question myself and seek out answers. Am I perfect? NO!!!
But at least I am making more of an effort then many that do absolutely nothing and think that will get them into heaven when in reality it will not.

The plan is working.

Christian, Conservative, Conspiracy, General, government, Life, Memories, Relationship, Thoughts, , , , Leave a comment

It has been the plan by those that do not think God is real to subjugate those they think below them. Not as “intelligent” as them.
It has even been caught on video tape that the average citizen of the nation is “too stupid” to realize that they are being manipulated.
It has happened in stages. One of the key blocks they knew they had to attack and remove was the Christian religion. They took little steps here and little bites there. They removed God from the school systems and now they have fallen into chaos and less and less is being taught to our children where each group that graduates is a little more ignorant then the one before. Respect for your fellows and your elders has been stripped away all under the guise of political correctness.
Millions of babies are being murderer every year. Human sacrifices to living a life solely for the self and not for the child that has just been sucked out of the womb through a plastic tube.
All of this is the work of those that deny God. That put on the mask of hypocrisy with full knowledge that they are openly lying to the average citizen.
But who is really at fault here? The person making the changes or the person allowing the changes? Actually it is both, but the one most guilty is the one allowing the changes, especially if they know what is happening is wrong.
It is past time for those that have set silently by and allowed these sins to stack up to the point that the United States is on the verge of collapse. Yet many still sit quiet and do nothing. (James 4:17)
It has been documented that most that called themselves Christian stayed at home for the 2012 Presidential election. All mainly due to the fact that the Republican nominee was a Mormon. Now I do not support the Mormon view and I personally consider them to be a successful cult since they are a part of this society, but to allow the man that is now in the White House stay there is one of the greatest sins ever commit by anyone that either did not vote or voted for him because he calls himself “Christian.” His actions say that he is not. This nation, due to it Christian believes and values has supported the nation of Israel, yet every chance the White House gets to insult demean or diminish Israel they do so. To the point that Israel canceled the purchase of 6 V-22s because someone in the White House called the Israeli Prime Minister a “chicken BEEP.” Also he has promised this or that would happen if you supported his ideas and now one of his ideas is a law. A law that has devastated our healthcare system. All of which was built upon lies. (Ephesians 4:17)
Yet the nation stays quiet as this man leads this nation further and further into collapse and mayhem. It is time those that call themselves “Christian” start to live up to that name and what it means. It is time to defend this once proud nation that was created to worship God. It is time for the Bible to be read. It is time for the word of God to be heard and taught once more. It is time for this world of selfishness and self-serving to be removed and replaced with the nation of caring for your brother before yourself as it was once attempted to be done.
Has this nation ever been perfect? No. Because we have to deal with people that do not understand the teaching of Jesus Christ and have been misinformed as to their true meaning. People need to read the Bible and seek out those that have read it and understand its meaning and purpose. It is a journey of learning that all must undergo. Why? So they will be able to see the little truths being mixed with the lies that are being told to them so they will see the real truth and be able to reject the hypocrisy that is being given to them.
It is time to place God back as the head of this nation. The national government needs to be down sized. The budget deficit must be removed or your children and grandchildren will live in starvation and want because the nation of the United States of America will no longer exist and it will be your own fault for not turning to God and the teachings of His Son the Lord Jesus Christ.

I just watched “Lucy”

Christian, General, Life, Memories, Relationship, Thoughts, , , , One comment

A movie definitely written by someone that believed heavily in evolution. It doesn’t surprise me that he does not get it.
What will follow are two examples of an ability that will happen when we have our new bodies and access to ALL of our brain:
John 20: 19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

Acts 8: 39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. 40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

Just for your understanding; the distance between Gaza and Azotus is 32.4 miles (52.2 km).

This is only one thing we are promised with our immortal body. It is obvious that people are seeking it out or there would never have been a movie like “Lucy” made. This also shows that people have not read the Bible or understand it and do not truly have a concept of God and His promise to us through His Son the Lord Jesus Christ. Ponder and think upon that for a bit.

My State of the Union

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

The world is falling into chaos and at this time most in the United States can do little. Why? Because most have surrendered their rights away to the government.
The United States was formed as a Constitutional Republic. It is no longer one. It has not been one since early in the twentieth century when Constitutional amendments were added.
One of the biggest was how a Senator is picked. For some reason it was decided to have them voted for by the general public. Maybe this was an anti-graft measure, but I am not sure. As it is the graft is worse than ever anyway. It would have been nice if they placed term limits on those in the congress and the senate like they did for the president. There is a bill out there right now to impose term limits and it is sorely needed. It would remove people that are there that should have left long ago. Prime examples are Pelosi and Bainer. There are others on both sides that need to go. Fresh blood needs to flow in the hallways of the Capitol. Much like those that got elected in the last election, but more need to go.
We need to return to the governing that would bring those to congress that were voted by the people of their district and they would listen to them and truly represent them. The term “career politician” should not be.
I was pleased with how Joni Ernst was in the Republican response to Mr. Obama’s State of the Union Address. Her statements gave me hope and encouragement. Unlike that of Mr. Obama’s Fantasy Island speech, by the way where is this nation he was talking about. I would like to move there, since the one I live in is a big mess. Made so mainly by those that wish to have the government run everything. Oh by the way, they call that a dictatorship or Socialist State, not a Republic.
A republic is a nation that is run BY the people and FOR the people. Not the government for the government as it now is. Where is the bills that call for a change in the way government employees are reviewed? Where is the bills that makes it possible to more easily fire them when they are caught sitting around doing nothing?
Where the bills that remove terrible teaches from our schools? Where are the bills that change our school system to allow it to complete against other nations around the world?
Do you know that Japan does better to educate their children then the USA does? Do you know that they have YEAR AROUND SCHOOLING?
Yet you say that we need this for our school to a teacher and they scoff at you and say “That’s not going to happen.” I can use quotes there because I actually heard that from a group of teachers when I suggested it to them.
We need year around schooling, ESPECIALLY in urban environments. I totally understand how the schools systems is now. Three summer months off for those that live in rural communities, because once the main livelihood of this nation was rural.
Now that is not the case. We need year around schooling. Four weeks on, two weeks off. This is still three months off. Just split up. It has been documented that when done in this fashion knowledge retention is increased so the children learn more and faster. This alone would do wonders for this nation. Yet I hear nothing on it. ANYWHERE. Why?
Also I did not like several of Mr. Obama’s suggestions:
Free community college at the expense of those that took advantage of the 529 college tuition savings fund. So taking from those that have saved for college and giving to those that did not. I don’t get it.
Saying he caused fuel prices to drop when all Liberals including him have been again fragging. Private sector oil production increased 61% while government production reduced 6%. Who is it that really help the gas prices to go down? It was the private sector. This is how this nation was originally designed to work. This is what those on the left wish to destroy. So how can you take credit for something you wish to destroy? You cannot. Free enterprise is who did it not the man in the White House.
No mention of a balanced budget amendment, WHICH is needed. He says the greatest threat to our children is “global warming” I say the greatest threat is the deficit. A deficit HE doubled and refuse to address.
We need across the board tax reform. One flat rate for everyone or one that increases form 5% to 30% with NO exemptions. No loopholes. Everyone and every company pays this tax. We do not need more “Obamacare” economics. It has destroyed the healthcare system. We have lost several businesses that have moved offshore and it is all due to taxing the rich and corporations. The state of this nation all lies at the door step of those that follow the teaching of Socialism not Republicism.
Return this nation to the people and return this nation to God.

A teaching from the mount

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

One of the first lessons that Jesus tries to teach those gather upon the mount where He spoke His most famous sermon was as follows.
Not to be angry with your neighbor without cause. It actually says brother, but as you go further into the sermon Christ will say that your neighbor and thus all are your brother and sister.
Now here is where it gets tricky. What you may consider cause, in reality may not be cause. A prime example is all the protest against the police lately. Especially in the case of Ferguson, MO.
It has been proven that Michael Brown attacked the police officer. Even the FBI agrees with this scenario, yet thousands have been marching around angry at the police and those that sided with the police in this matter. Thus those that have been angry, those that vandalized, those that caused chaos are guilty of being angry against their “brother” for no cause. So as Jesus stated this places those that did this in danger of judgment.
Now it would not surprise me at all that during this there were those that called those on the other side of this dispute worthless and fools. These two place those that said this in trouble to the point that those that used the word “fool” actually are headed down the path to damnation (“but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire”)
So people need to think. People need to try and understand where they truly stand with their neighbor and with God and His Son Jesus Christ. For they are truly jeopardizing their eternal life due to listening to those the spread lies for their own cause and glorification.
But God gives you a way out. He offers a way for you to redeem yourself. How? You must seek out those that you have wronged and ask their forgiveness. If you vandalized a store. Turn yourself in to the police and face what you have done. If you insulted someone no matter the side you must find some way to get them to see that you are wishing to repent.
Place an ad in your local newspaper, make a post on Facebook or some other social media and seek to make it right with those you have wronged. Once you have done so God will know and forgive you.
Oh, and by the way. The raising your hands thing has been proven to not be true. So doing this also falls into that which I have been talking about.

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 (thou are worthless), shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. 23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; 24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

The facts are on the wall. You sin, but are you repentant? That is the important question.

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

Someone that is repentant over their transgressions is aware they have done something that is not favored by God. So they seek out God through pray and ask forgiveness.
If you go about sinning and it does not phase you then the question must be asked. Are you really saved? The answer is no you are not.
Do you truly desire to be known by God? Then should you not be seeking to have a repentant heart.
Do I sin? Most definitely. Do I seek out God’s forgiveness? Yes I do for I know that I can fall back into the world and become lost. I do not believe in the man-made doctrine of once saved always saved. For I have seen too much and learned so much from God ever to believe you can keep your salvation.
The Bible clearly states that God will remove you from Christ if you do not bear fruit. For Jesus is the vine and we are but a branch within Him and can be cut off and given to man to burn in the fire. So we must seek to bear the fruit of the Lord and to bring glory and honor unto God.
Yet salvation is fleeting. If you do not seek out God then how can you be saved? If you are not saved then how can even think you are a branch within the Vine?

Did you see those two guys being thrown off the roof by ISIS (ISIL)?

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

I hope you did. Not in a good way by the way. I hope you saw so you can begin to understand the differences between these Islamic Extremist with their Sharia law and Christians.
These two men were accused of being gay. Were they? I do not know. Where they caught sharing their affection for each other? We do not know.
What we do know is that they were called gay. They were summarily judged by Sharia law and this was their punishment. A horrible DEATH.
What do Christians do? They ask you not to commit this sin, for yes it is a sin. Those that practice true Christianity do not turn you away, but they try and introduce you to Jesus and His Father God. They try and reason with those that are willing to listen and get them to turn their back on these sins and embrace a life not in this sin but with the light and love of Christ.
Do we kill them? No. For this is against God. Do we brand them? No for this is again against God.
True Christians love all and only seek that person to turn from their sins and to live the life that God wishes them to live. A heterosexual live. Will it be easy? No. Will there be challenges and hurtles to overcome. Yes.
Also it is wrong for those that live in this sin to force their life choice upon Christendom. It is also wrong for a “church” to welcome those that live in this sin to come into their community without leaving the sin behind. This is placing the sin before God and we are told to always place God first.
What is the most amazing is that those on the left. Those that call themselves liberal. Support and condone this sin. Not only that, but they protect and carter to those that embrace Islamic Extremism. Don’t they realize they are protect that which will turn on them and kill them? Yet they attack and persecute those that only seek to love them.
Talk about an oxymoron.
Let me make this perfectly clear. If Sharia law is allowed it will result in the death of all that call themselves liberal. This is not me saying this. It is what Sharia law says WILL be done. So why do you support something that will result in your horrid death???
Yet you persecute those that just wish you to stop living in sin and yet live. Jesus is the answer. Jesus is life.
