Until further notice the messages that accompany this notice will be part of the “Come out of her my people” series. They will be harsh. They will cause people to get upset. This is as it should be. They must question the way they think and live. So, they can seek to follow Christ and not the world.

Discussion

One of the greatest sorrows of being a follower of Christ is seeing the Truth.

Now there will be those that are now confused and bewildered by these words. However, they are the Truth. It is a sorrow that God Himself feels for His lost children, and coming to feel it and understand why it exists can be overwhelming. Therefore, to address it I must use my Spiritual gift given to me through the Holy Spirit to make others aware of why it exists.

In the first chapter of Romans the Holy Spirit gave Paul the building blocks of this understanding that leads to this sorrow. For once you understand the Truth the sorrow should fill those that wish to follow Christ as well. If you doubt, If you question. If you deny. You actually deny Jesus Christ who then denies you to His Father, our Creator: God.

Let us now look to the verses of the first chapter of Romans:

Romans 1:18-32 NKJV – For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

The Key elements of these verses are as follows:

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.”

God has shown Himself to every single human that has ever been born. However, they chose to worship themselves instead of God. They turn themselves over to their own wants and lusts.

“Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator.”

Therefore, they turn to unnatural lusts:

“For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.”

It is made clear. The reason we have lesbians. The reason we have homosexuals is because at their core their own lusts govern them. They deny the True God and His Son Jesus Christ. No matter what other actions they do. They may go to buildings called “churches.” They may even stand upon the dais and give teachings they say comes from God. However, as long as the woman lusts for a woman, and a man lusts for a man. They are not welcome in heaven.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 NKJV – Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

But we must continue with the verses of Romans right now. For what is said next:

“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.”

Now before I make my next statement. I need to make a declaration. I believe all humanity sins, including myself. The Bible states that all sins are equal. However, true this may be. Those described just a moment ago are the worst of imaginable sins. Those that will actually never truly accept God through the Son of God: Jesus Christ.

When someone professes to follow God yet mentions and degrades another group because of their political beliefs. In addition they look down upon those they just named as being lesser than themselves has just in that moment denied Jesus Christ publicly.

We are to look to their behavior. We look to their actions, their works. Are their works of the Spirit, or are their works of the flesh? They may say they follow God. They say they feed those in need. However, if they or those they support live in the sins listed earlier, including homosexuality as well as human sacrifice in the guise of the term “abortion,” they in no way follow the Creator, nor His Son Jesus Christ.

There as been an uptick in violence in the United States. There have been those that side with and encourage this violence. Let’s hear this list of sins once again:

“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.”

And again, the last sentence:

“That those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.”

They have chosen eternal death in the lake of fire.

Now does this excuse those that do not behave like this yet they refuse to follow the commandments? They refuse to follow the teachings from Jesus Christ who said to stop sinning. To live a needs-only lifestyle, to choose God over mammon, yet do they? No. Then they too have chosen eternal death in the lake of fire. They may sin less violently, however, they still live in sin.

However, those that are violent and behavior in ways that would sicken even the normal sinner may think themselves righteous in their own minds. This shows how truly and completely blind they are, and will remain. For there are those that will willingly embrace the mark of the beast. All the time thinking they are destined to happiness. However, in their minds their happiness can and will only be achieved in this short one hundreds years of earthly life. Which for them will be true.

As Dostoevsky stated: “If there is no God, everything is permitted.” Those of Romans chapter one, believes there is no God so they do anything. Behavior that would make most  of the average people want to vomit. However, they do it anyway. All because they are righteous and better than anyone else, especially those that truly believe in the One True God and His Son Jesus Christ.

It is truly sad. Because they deny eternity. They say we only have this short life, yet even then, they ignore what is required to truly be wise and truly live a righteous existence. Opting instead to think themselves as those that must govern those that are lesser than themselves.

They won’t realize until it is too late. For God Himself has now blinded them and they will never awaken to the Truth until they enter into the lake of fire for billions upon billions upon billions of years. Where the worm that eats their flesh does not die, nor is the fire quenched that will burn their skin for all eternity.

If you awaken to the Truth. You must act quickly. You must downsize and live a needs-only lifestyle and then use your excess money to help those in need and spread the Holy Gospel.

God Bless

The Blindness of humans

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

Due to the corrupt nature of humans, most cannot accept, that there was ever a being that could perform miracles, like causing the lame to walk or even a man blind since birth the ability to see. Jesus through His sacrifice upon the cross gave us the ability to overcome our base nature. Yet there are many that say humans can overcome themselves. Just listen to that sentence in your head. How can someone defeat himself or herself? It is impossible.
Yet through Christ with His sacrifice, humans can overcome their base nature. It is through this salvation that the world of humans still exists. For without Christianity and Judaism humans base nature would have destroyed itself most likely during the dark ages. It was believe in God and the teachings of Jesus that the humans still walk this earth today.
Nonetheless, again a time of corruption rears its head. Once again, the human race is threatened by itself. They force God from the world and chaos has erupted in its place. However, there are those in the “wilderness” shouting out and saying, “Turn to the light of Christ!”
Mark 7: 20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

“Curse of the Close-minded & Short-sighted”

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

I did not write what is to follow, but I had to share it. It is worth the read:

Another vent note….

This week I have dealt with three very difficult people, each in a unique situation, but all three the same, closed-minded and short-sighted, i.e., dangerous…. When you see someone you care about walking down a path that could harm them or others the natural reaction is to try to stop them, but what if you can’t? Often times this is the case because these people do not wish to see the facts or fail to see logic, and unfortunately they are the majority. It’s easy to fall into the trap of seeing the world only from your perspective of what’s right or wrong, it feels safe, secure, and it makes the world seem less complicated, but it’s a lie. A lie that can harm the innocent, it can destroy lives, and it can create conflict. It is the ultimate form of selfishness because you are placing yourself above others.

“If someone is able to show me that what I think or do is not right, I will happily change, for I seek the truth, by which no one was ever truly harmed. It is the person who continues in his self-deception and ignorance who is harmed.”
― Marcus Aurelius

This is my rant about this obscenely large group of people. I know I can’t do anything to change it, but it is really hard for me to watch it, and if I could I would separate myself and my family from all of it, but it’s everywhere. It’s a helpless feeling…having no real control over your life, and none of us do. We are all victims to the actions or inactions of others in some form…none of us are in control and if you think that you are the exception then you are part of the problem, none of us have control. What makes it terrifying is not only are we victims to the decisions of others, those decisions are often not very thought out….

“The most fatal illusion is the settled point of view. Since life is growth and motion, a fixed point of view kills anybody who has one.”
― Brooks Atkinson

There is no arguing with people like this, which makes it even more tragic. You could have certifiable proof and it would not matter to them. They value their opinion over fact, or logic, and that is not rational behavior. They love to deal in absolutes such as “always,” or “never,” when neither of these concepts exist in reality. They see the world as black or white, but these purities do not exist in the human world, everything is simply different shades of gray. Instead of planning ahead, they live in the moment; a view romanticized in this day in age, but it’s dangerous.

“Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn.”
― Benjamin Franklin

A simple example of this most of us can relate to, an intersection. Ever seen a dangerous 4-way or 2-way stop, and wonder, “why don’t they put a traffic light here, someone is going to get killed?” But, nothing ever happens. It remains the same for years and years, ample time to do something about it, but nothing. Until one day you hear about a person or family getting killed at that intersection then about a month later, as if by magic, traffic light has appeared…. Still the damage has been done—a life or lives have been lost, all due to lack of foresight. If foresight would have been used they would still be alive.

“If you have the power to prevent a tragedy but do nothing, you are equally held to the same guilt as the one who committed the act.”
— Michael Halding

Is it possible to predict every outcome, no it’s not, but it is important that we prepare for real logical possibilities and we leave our minds open for those possibilities. We must keep our minds open because someone else might be able to see something we can’t, something if action is taken could save a life. However, due to pride most people do not do this and to those people I ask, is your pride worth someone’s life? Must someone pay with their life for you to see reality? To me, it doesn’t make sense, it’s a waste, it’s selfish, arrogant, and immoral.

If you are one of these people…you are the problem, and you are the source of pain in this world.
