Any who teach “self-worth” teach hypocrisy

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

“Self-worth” is a teaching that states “you” can achieve entrance into heaven by your own actions and deeds. It is teachings like this that are blinding those that call themselves “Christians” when in reality they may not be. By the way it is not in the Bible. Those that teach things not in the Bible and state it is “Christian” are teaching the world.
Titus 3:5 – Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
The only way to achieve entrance into heaven is by acknowledging that “you” can do nothing to get there. You must humble yourself. You must not try to do things on your own. For they will lead into the world and the world is corrupt.
1 John 2:15 – Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
When you seek out the world. You seek out the temporal and fleeting rewards of this life we now live.
Revelation 3:17 – Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
Try to understand. This life is only a test. When compared to our true life that is to come. It is but a blink of the eye. Can you cherish a blink? No you cannot. It is there but a moment and then it is gone and repeated once again.
Our eternal live is not a blink, but an actual live. A live that will last for all eternity. Not 100 years, not 1000 years, but more than 1,000,000,000,000 year.
When you humble yourself before God, and learn to place all others before yourself you quickly learn that by doing so you realize that all are equal to you. So if they are your equal why do you seek to esteem to be better than them? Especially when we are taught within the Bible to place all others before ourselves.
Seeking out “self-worth” is seeking to hold onto a blink. When you do this your eyes are closed and you are blind to all that is real and perfect in the sight of God and His Son our Lord Jesus Christ.

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

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

Once again

Today the news was filled with foiled terrorist attacks and anarchist trying to disrupt the normal lives of the common person. As I have stated before both of these elements within the world’s society have only one goal in mind. Chaos which will allow their way of thinking to win. Also as I stated before they serve the same purpose, destruction of the way you live your life.
Yet most go about living this life like it will not affect them. It is sad that it takes events like that of 9/11 to cause the average person to actually turn their head and make them think for a moment. Then they just go back and live their life like they have before. Some may do so a little more carefully though.
The thing is there truly is a cure to all this disharmony. It is the teaching of Jesus Christ. If people would read them, understand them and then practice them they would soon have a better world to live within. It is a world that we had for a short time in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s in the United States.
True it was not perfect. But when dealing with humans nothing can ever be perfect. In this time frame God was known. God was celebrated. God was honored. God rewarded us with some peace.
Then those that do not honor God started to rear their heads. Slowly God has been taken from this country, and in return this nation as fallen upon hard times. Why? Because people do not honor or respect each other as they are taught to do in the Bible. Who is to blame? Those that have been removing God. Those that have been dishonoring God.
This nation was founded as a nation to worship God. Was it perfect? No. For nothing made of man can ever be perfect. But as long as this nation honored and respected God it was rewarded with some type of peace and prosperity. Now we are in hard times and it is all due to not honoring or respecting God.
It is time to return to the Bible. It is time to return God to His place within this nation. It is time to place God first and to love our neighbors as ourselves and then and only then will God reward us once again.

What caused the Crusades is the same thing that is causing the Jihad today.

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

It is a total misunderstanding of the teachings of that group’s religious book.
The Crusades was caused by the few that perverted the teachings of the Bible which resulted in the invasion into the Holy Lands.
Now today we have the Qur’an’s teaching being perverted by a few and spreading their lies to those that have not fully and completely read this holy book. As a result we have today’s Jihad which is nothing more than a modern version of the Christian Crusades.
What is required is for those with the true knowledge of the Qur’an to become more vocal and to stop this Jihad. Will they do this? They have not yet, so I seriously doubt it

Our life on earth will be filled with trials

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

There are those that tell you to seek happiness and reward here upon the earth. This is not what the Bible teaches. The Bible says that our life will be filled with trials and tribulations. Most will be caused by other humans, some will come from God.
We are told that our reward is not of this earth and as each day goes by I came to see that to be true. I see the corruption of this earth causing once holy institutions to turn their backs upon the nation of Israel and to welcome sin into the buildings.
Those that truly follow the Christian faith tell you to turn your back upon sin and to turn to God through His Son Jesus for salvation. Yet they say you are saved but you still commit these sins. If God decided to destroy Sodom and Gaamor over these sins why are they now welcome?
The answer is they are not. If the person turns from their sin then they are welcomed into the church. Will it be easy? No, it will be a daily struggle, yet it must be done if you wish to commune with God and to receive your reward which is promised to you beyond this life.
If this institution places the sin above the person, as is being done, then they are choosing the sin over God and they shall reap their reward.
People need to be shown and taught the true value of faith. As long as there are those that say you are to receive your reward here on this earth people will be confused and led astray from the truth

History repeating itself seems to be a trend

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

What I am going to relate to you will for the most part fall on deaf ears, but it is a tale written time and again throughout history. It is the dreams and desires of the few, the few that think for one reason or the other that what they say and think is the correct way to do things. For a short time, they succeed, but for one reason or another, it always fails, until the next few come along and start it all over again. Not realizing that they are just living a loop of corruption, misery and pain. They delude themselves into thinking they are better, smarter, have a better understanding of the world then the “average” person does; unaware that they are in reality just another “average” person themselves.
There have been recent examples in the news lately, yet the people do not listen or even notice them. That is the true sorrow, for if people did take the time to notice then the horrors of the Holocaust would never have happened. This was one reason the founding fathers of the United States tried to change how government was run and handled. Mainly to prevent the few from gaining enough power to manipulate the government to allow them to do just what they are now doing.
What are they doing? They are heading us down the road to people like Caesar, like Napoleon, like Hitler and Stalin. They are heading this nation down the same road that resulted in wars, starvation, corruption and murder. All in the name of what is right, yet all along only resulting in death, mayhem and destruction. The Roman Empire fell apart. Napoleon was cast out after war and turmoil. Hitler murdered millions for the glory of the “master race.” While Stalin and all other communist horded the money letting the common people to starve and die.
These are the actions of those that though they knew best, and knew more. These are the acts of those that called themselves patriots. Yet all along they were thinking solely of themselves and their own reward. They thought and think the common citizen too ignorant to know “what is good for them.” Not realizing that what is good for them lies in a different place, and a different way.
Can we save this nation? Maybe. What will it cost? Time, money and sacrifice. The welfare system must be reformed. A work program to train people must be made. Term limits to those in a political office must be created. Universities must be reformed and purged of those that wish to demean and discredit the very nation they live within.
What is most important is the need to return God to the center of this nation. God must be placed where He belongs. The Bible must be read by all. If they choose to accept what is within the pages of this book is still up to them, they will go into their choices knowing the fates they have decided to pursue after.
For as long as God is pushed aside there will be those that will become tyrants over others. Some will do so with good intentions, but without God it will wither and rot. We see the rotten fruit now.
Riots given strength by those that should not be saying a word, yet the speak and make things worse. All this is coming from one party in the USA. It is a political party that has removed God from any document associated with them. They embrace all that will cause strive and cause you to turn to them for aid. While most blindly go along with them listening to their lies of hatred and discord.
This nation has fallen on hard times all due to this one political group, yet most think it was not them that have caused their problems, but if they would just look and realize that their intent is to bring about disharmony and disputes, all designed to distract and discourage.
But can we save this nation? I do not know, for far too many still listen to the Democratic Party. A party that is following the same road that led to the fall of Rome, the Napoleonic war, World War II and Communist Russia. (By the way Socialism is Communism).

Two police are dead because people do not read the Bible.

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

Why do I say this? This is why:

Titus 3: 1, Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, 2, To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. 3, For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 4, But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 5, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6, Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7, That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
If these so called protesters had read the Bible then there would be two police officers alive today that were truly MURDERERED.
If people would not listen to hatemongers and racist like Al Sharpton then there would be two families spending Christmas with these two police officers.
I hope those that protested are proud of what they have done. Their actions led to these murders, these TRUE murders. This is the true sins, this is the true crime.
Anyone who say otherwise, even to the man in the white house is lying to you. Remember, he is the one that said if you want to keep your doctor you would be able too. He has proven himself to be a liar.
Proverbs 12: 22 Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.

Respect the dream of Martin Luther King Jr. End the hatred and heal the wounds cause by those that wish to divide and destroy this nation. The liberals have shown their true nature and it is opposite that of God. Never vote for a liberal ever again for they are an abomination to the Lord.

To Believe in God makes you a wimp mentality

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

This is meant as a wake-up call to those that think we must kowtow to those that oppose us because of our faith and believes. There is approximately ninety battles fought in the Old Testament. At their core: what is right in the eyes of God. In the twentieth century, the United States of America tried to stay out of both World Wars due to Christian believes to a degree, but then entered these conflicts for the same believes. The most pronounced was the second war, when Nazism resulted in the death of millions, mainly Jews. For the protection of lives, it become necessary to take lives. Both German and Japan did horrendous acts to those that they captured and or imprisoned.
Does this mean we do not love out enemies? No, just the opposite. When the war ended this nation through our believes not only in the constitution, but also in the Bible went to both Germany and Japan and helped these former enemies rebuild their nations and now they are allies.
True love for the “enemies” of Christianity comes in the form of tolerance. We tolerate their desires to worship other religions or no religion. We tolerate the choices to live in sin. All human life is sacred and is loved by all that truly follow the teaching of Jesus Christ.
This does not mean that we should allow them to attack us be it with physical violence or impose laws upon our faith that diminish and subdue our faith. All humans are corrupt beings. We all sin. No one is perfect or better than anyone else is. The teaching of Christ though give us a way to change this. It allows us to love our neighbor and our enemy. It allows us to tolerate their choices even though bad. Are we perfect? No. Have we made mistakes? Yes.
When you see intolerance, you see hatred, which is the opposite of Christ and the love He instructed us to follow. Many times throughout history, this intolerance overflowed and threaten the children of God. The result…. war.
We must be willing not only to live for love, but also to die for it, for when we do so it is for the betterment of all humankind.
If you notice, all intolerance comes from those that deny or do not accept that God is our Lord.
Look carefully at events about you and things you see on the news.
North Korea cyber-attack on Sony…. intolerance.
The mayor of Houston TX subpoenaing churches for their sermons ….. intolerance.
Any dictatorship in the world… intolerance.
Radical Islamic groups like ISIS (ISIL) …. intolerance.
The killing of two policemen as they set in their patrol car…… intolerance.
Any time you see intolerant actions and behavior it is being done by those that wish to impose what they want you to do and think. No other way of thinking is right.
On the inverse are those that truly follow their faith in God. They tolerate sin. They tolerate other people demanding this or that. They are following the teaching of Christ that is how true love of your neighbor or enemy really works.
When those that wish to silence others rear their head they are actually showing that all they care for is themselves, their believes and their cause. They are missing out on so much it is truly saddening, for it is their intolerance and hatred that causes so much strife and anger.
Why does it take place, because those before them through their intolerance removed God from places where His presence caused there to be true tolerance and love for others. God should be once again seen in schools and in public. Due to His removal chaos has erupted in this nation to the point that those the teach intolerance has now caused the death of two truly innocent men to die a death they did not deserve.

Sad facts about those that call themselves “Christian”

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

Many live with the delusion that they are Christian. Yes, I said delusion. I have lived this lie. Thinking I was Christian and yet living in and of the world.
What does it mean to live in and of the world?
The best way I can describe it is all your actions and behavior lead you to think of yourself, that all there is to life is the life you now live. You are more concerned with sports, fashion, television, the latest gadget or game. This is in and of the world.
It is true that you still need some diversions. We all need that, but when the diversion becomes the main focus of your life then it is as I said before living in and of the world.
We are told in the Bible that we are to place God first and always, day and night every day. It can be done, because I am living it right this moment. Am I perfect? By all means no no no, but I am at least making a major effort at trying.
I literally had to lose most of my possessions to finally come to understand that God must be the focus of our everyday life. Questions like: “Does this reflect God?” “Would Jesus do this?” “Am I saying the right thing to glorify God?” Are only a small example of questions I ask myself every single day.
Can you say you do this? Are you for example driving the speed limit? Yes the speed limit, which is actually something we are instructed to do in the Bible (Titus 3:1). We are instructed to honor the laws set forth by man and when we do so we honor God. When these laws go against God we are also instructed to work to change them to where God is honored. Yet today more and more of God is being forced out of public view.
We are entering into a new dark age. A time of ignorance and strife, but why do I say ignorance? Do you know that most people have never read the Bible and nearly as much have no desire to. Yet they listen to people that parade themselves as preachers of God’s truth yet they lie manipulate, cause fear, anger, destruction as well as false hope and contribute to the believe that this world has all you will ever need. Since no one has read the Bible they think it is fact and given by God, this is totally opposite of the teachings of the Bible.
Love and honor God first and foremost. Then love your neighbor as you would love yourself. The only time you are mentioned is to emulate how you would like to be treated and to treat your neighbor that way. Oh and by the way, everyone about you is your neighbor. When you can do this most of the time, then you can call yourself a Christian and it will be the truth.
