Martyrdom looms before all that call themselves Christian.

I once wondered how the Bible could not mention by implication the USA. It mentions China, but not the US.
Those that do not believe in God would say it is because when the Bible was written the “New World” had not been fully discovered. As I see this nation falling apart about us I now start to understand that is not why.
This nation was founded upon the freedom to worship God. William Penn, a Quaker, created how this government could be setup. The principles of the separation of church and states was established to allow this freedom to worship or not too in your own way.
Now there are those that do not worship God perverting this principle to force God from the United States by using laws, which is the government. Simply they have reversed the principle upon itself. They are using it to cause the government to invade the worship of God, which is why people came here to escape from this very thing.
As I watch this nation collapse, I now understand why the United States of American will not be mentioned. It will be on the wrong side of God, which was not supposed to be.
Those that wish God to be removed are winning. I pity them. More and more I start to see that those that truly profess to be Christian will be first imprisoned, then eventually killed. I am slowly realizing that martyrdom may come to this nation.
It is happening now more than ever before in the Middle-East and this nation says little to nothing. This is wrong and needs to change before martyrdom is required here in the United States.

The road does not belong to just you (A reminder to follow the teaching of the Bible)

Daily, especially on the northeast coast many act as if the road they drive their car and motorcycle upon is their personal property. Yes, your vehicle is your property, but that is where it ends.
We live under laws and rules of the road that we must obey and follow. As Christians we are told to obey these laws and rules (Titus 3:1).
Just for a refresher course.
The double yellow lines mark different directions of traffic. You do not cross that line unless you are turning and then ONLY if no one in the opposing direction is heading toward you, even if the light has just changed.
The dashed white line is a dividing line for multiple lanes. Stay between them, unless you are switching lane, but make sure no one is in the lane you are going into; also just because there is enough room for your vehicle in an adjacent lane is not permission for you to go into it. It is there as a safety gap. Per the rules of the road for every 10 miles per hour you go you should allow 20 feet between you and the vehicle in front of you for braking purposes.
The “Yield” sign means to “yield RIGHT OF WAY” that means if someone is where you want to be you MUST allow them to go first. When a sign says for example “Right lane ends” that means those in the left lane has the right of way and you must yield this right of way to them. Once it is clear, you can then merge over to the left lane.
If you are in a forty-five mile per hour speed zone and it then reduces to thirty-five you slow down.

As Children of God, we are told in to Bible to honor these laws as referenced earlier. If you are not following them then not only are you disobeying these laws but God.

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?

The Delusional Humans

Christian, Conservative, government, , , , , , Leave a comment

Throughout history, several things repeat themselves. One of the foremost is those that delude themselves into thinking that they are better than God is. This has even happened to popes by the way but usually by those with the most power at the particular time. Usually this delusion results in wars, but it always leads to death of innocents. In the crusades, which were ordered by men with a misconception of the Bible due to the fact the only the elite has access to it, it led to the death of Jews and Arabs alike. In the Soviet Union it was the removal of the Bible from the culture by humans who felt they knew better then God which led to millions dying including Christians, Jews and those that opposed the totalitarian elitist government. It was the removal of God for an elitist race mentality that led to approximately thirteen million, Jews, Christians, homosexuals, gypsies and others at the hands of a lunatic as well as millions of others that fought to overthrow him in World War II.
The phrase if you do not study history you are destine to repeat has never been truer than it does today. The ruling class kept the knowledge to themselves during the Crusades. Perverting the Bible to justify the killing of Jews and to invade the Middle East under the pretense that Jerusalem needed to be saved from the “heathens” when has you can tell in hindsight that it was purely for greed. It is that very mentality that those now with the power within the United States feel they are justified in their actions to destroy this country. Well this is wrong. One of the main factors that caused an end to the Crusades was that more and more people gained access to the Bible and learned of the true teachings within it. It is something those with power during the Middle Ages tried to stop, but failed. They failed because God is more powerful than humans are. It was through free-will that people learned the true and acted upon it.
It is now time for humans to act upon the teaching of the Bible and to stop those that are removing God and history from our schools. It is time to remove career politicians. It is time to change laws that will allow those that are corrupt within the government to be at the least fired and the most jailed. It is time for the common people to rise up and say we are not going to take it anymore. It is something that those in power have deluded themselves into thinking they are doing for the good of all, but in reality, they are doing it for themselves.
The last time this happened, it caused the Soviet Union to implode upon itself and it was the common people that stood up and said they are not going to take it anymore. They were in a worse place then we are today within the USA, but it is something we can change now by acting upon our given rights to vote. It is also important that we keep in contact with those in the government that represent us. How can they do business for us if they do not know what it is we desire? If you allow them to assume that allows the old maxim of “making an ass out of you (U) and me” come into play.
If those in national office will not make term limits for themselves, it is up to us to make them have them. How do we do this? Either we vote them out or we contact those in the state governments and petition them to make term limits for those that the state sent to Washington D.C. This is what is our rights are as a citizen of the United States and the respective state you live in. It is also our right to recall a politician that does not embody our views that we wish to have seen in Washington D.C.
Several senators did not come up for re-election. We have the right to petition for their recall if they are not doing what we sent them to D.C. to do. We need to make both parties realize that the days of the career politician is over and return this nation back to its original design.
I highly recommend the book “The Liberty Amendments” by Mark R. Levin

Life— the free trail at eternity.

We are promised in the Bible that when the time comes we will be called up to be with the Lord forever. We will have the body that is corruptible to be replaced with an incorruptible and immortal body.
This life is nothing more than a trial period to see how we handle the use of our Life. Like any trial offers you look to see if the product is to your liking.
It is also to see if you will care for the product.
Like all products there are certain rules and stipulations that need to be followed. If you do not follow them than when you return the product damaged you will have to pay for the damage caused to it.
This is what we are told will take place. In Revelation chapter 20 the user’s manual of our life will be examined and if damage was done and occurred to our life then we have to pay for the damage done to it at that time.
For those that took good care of their life they shall be rewarded with a life that will last for billions of years.
Do the laws laid down in Genesis, Exodus and Deuteronomy apply as the “rules and stipulations”. I would say yes. Since Jesus stated he was not there to replace the law, but to fulfill it.
Throughout the centuries certain acts were open and exposed to the world. In the last one hundred or so years many of these behaviors have been covered and hidden away. Now these deeds are returning to being exposed once again. Many decry their return from behind locked doors and whispers. I do not. I feel that if you wish to choose the fate of your life. Do so in the light of day. Allow all to know what you choose.
We are also told not to judge, for by the very standard we judge others so shall we be judged. What we are told to do is to pray for those that choose the life of sin. Teach them what is right. Allow them the opportunity to repent if they so choose. Love them as a brother or sister, for that is what they are.
As long as we try to instruct them, our fellow humans, on how to use the user’s manual then some will decide to treat their life correctly. Then when the time comes they will be able to get their new life. A life that will last beyond all time. A life that will allow them to witness all the wonders of the universe. A universe created by God.
