Laws are not guidelines

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

Per the Cambridge dictionary a “law” is defined as:
“a rule made by a government that states how people may and may not behave in society and in business, and that often orders particular punishments if they do not obey, or a system of such rules: civil/criminal law; federal/state law”
A guideline is defined as:
“a piece of information that suggests how something should be done”
Let’s go a step further in this definition. A “suggestion” is:
“an idea, possible plan, or action that is mentioned for other people to consider.”
As you can see they are two completely different things. However in many in today’s society “laws” are treated as “guidelines,” “suggestions.”
A very visible example of this is the speed limits on roads.
These are states laws that state we must not exceed a certain miles per hour. However most everyone goes faster and if you are not like them, then you are the problem.
The Bible tells us this:
Titus 3:1 – Remind the believers to submit to the government and its officers. They should be obedient, always ready to do what is good.
Yet many who call themselves “Christian,” go with the flow of traffic. In other words they embrace and accept the sin and in turn are defying God Himself.
Why?
Because they see the teachings of Jesus Christ as guidelines instead of something that must be adhered to. They see the laws of humanity not being followed, so why bother to follow God. This is the mentality of the weak. Those that say they are “Christian,” but in reality they are not. They are hypocrites and most don’t even realize it.
The commandments within the Bible, which Jesus Christ stated he come to fulfill, are laws. We are to live our lives through faith and works, which as we are instructed in Titus is to obey the laws of the land, unless they go against the laws of God, which are greater. So stop treating laws like guidelines, for once you treat a law as a guideline you state you are willing and able to sin against God. For you are more important than God.

The thing those in Hollywood don’t know.

You hear nearly daily of this celebrity or that celebrity saying that they know what is best for the rest of humanity. Why? Because they are rich.
This is what the Bible says about those that have been given wealth in the world:
1 John 3:17 – If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion—how can God’s love be in that person?
Now the first thing that will come from the minds of the read of this post is this:
“But they are showing compassion.”
Now let’s expand this topic to include the full teaching in this letter.
1 John 3:11 – This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another. 12 We must not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and killed his brother. And why did he kill him? Because Cain had been doing what was evil, and his brother had been doing what was righteous. 13 So don’t be surprised, dear brothers and sisters, if the world hates you. 14 If we love our brothers and sisters who are believers, it proves that we have passed from death to life. But a person who has no love is still dead. 15 Anyone who hates another brother or sister is really a murderer at heart. And you know that murderers don’t have eternal life within them. 16 We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters. 17 If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion—how can God’s love be in that person? 18 Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions. 19 Our actions will show that we belong to the truth, so we will be confident when we stand before God. 20 Even if we feel guilty, God is greater than our feelings, and he knows everything. 21 Dear friends, if we don’t feel guilty, we can come to God with bold confidence. 22 And we will receive from him whatever we ask because we obey him and do the things that please him. 23 And this is his commandment: We must believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he commanded us. 24 Those who obey God’s commandments remain in fellowship with him, and he with them. And we know he lives in us because the Spirit he gave us lives in us.
So in the full teaching we see that it is both faith and works that shows we are children of God. So for a celebrity to tell us we must welcome the sick and the poor. However they live in wealth, luxury and leisure. They horde most their wealth and if they do share it they share very little.
Those that are given wealth are not to store up their wealth, especially if they profess to be “Christian.” We should live on enough to be debt free and not to live in excess and luxury. Once we reach this point, yet we are still given the wealth of this world that which exceeds our base needs should be given first to our fellow Christians in need so that they can then live debt free and in comfort. If we still have worldly wealth left that should be given beyond the body of Christ to help those truly in need. For that is what the Bible teaches us to do.
So those that are called celebrities are not something to revere, but to shun and ignore for they are of the world and we are not to befriend the world. For those that do befriend the world are the enemies of God.

The truth about homosexuality and Christianity (part 3)

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

In the first part of this series it was shown how God let those that rejected Him turn to sins that led to homosexuality.
In part two of this series it was shown that none that live a homosexual life will be allowed into heaven and so cannot call themselves “Christian.”
In this part I wish to give those willing to change a chance to see that they can come to God and be accepted and embraced by Him.
Read carefully what is to follow:
1 Corinthians 6:9 – Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, 10 or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God. 11 Some of you were once like that. But you were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
“Some of you were once like that. But you were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.”
“Some of you were once like that.”
“were”
Meaning they are no longer this way. They no longer live in these sins. They have left them behind and have returned to the embrace of God.
It was not just calling upon God and Jesus, but it was the act of repentance.
To repent means to turn your back upon your sin. To no longer live in this sin. To return to the natural instead of living in the un-natural.
How can I speak of this? For I myself considered a homosexual life, but I saw the truth of the word of God. I have a wife and I have sons born of my seed. I am a living example of the truth and of God’s love for all who come to Him.
But understand as long as you live in sin. As long as you live in the world. As long as you do not say God is the Creator of all. Then understand that you will not be welcomed into the wonders of an eternal life in the service of God, but instead living the second death:
Revelation 21: 8 “But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars—their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.

The truth about homosexuality and Christianity (part 2)

There are those that go about and state that you can be a homosexual and be Christian as well. However this is the furthest thing from the truth. As was shown in part one of this series when those in the human race turned their backs upon God He allowed them to enter into sin. This in turn, turned to un-natural desires and lust which is homosexuality. So those partaking of this sexual sin still reject God at the core of their hearts.
Also per the Bible it is impossible to be living within this sin and be Christian.
1 Corinthians 6:9 – Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, 10 or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God.
“none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God”
Since it clearly states that they cannot inherit the Kingdom of God, then it is impossible for any that partake of this sin to be Christian.
So any that state you can be are lying and leading them down the wrong path. This also goes for pedophiles, for I actually question the translation of “male prostitutes.” The actual Greek wording implicates men having sex with boys. (“effeminate – malakos – a catamite:–effeminate, soft – catamite – a boy kept for homosexual practices.)
Now many may question the word “homosexuality,” as well, but let’s look at that so there can be no question.
In the KJV this verse reads as this:
“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,”
abusers of themselves with mankind – arsenokoites – a male engaging in same-gender sexual activity; a sodomite, pederast.
As you can see it is there in the Bible. There can be no question, yet millions do. Why? Because they take the word of others and do not read the Bible themselves. For they would rather live their lives as they want to and think they are one with God, when that is the furthest thing from the truth.

The truth about homosexuality and Christianity (part 1)

This is not an attack or a hate piece. It is simply as the title of the series states….. The truth.
It will not be well received, but that is not my problem. For I write this out of true love for all, in the hopes that it will cause those that hear the truth to turn from sin and truly accept Jesus Christ.
This week Disney/ABC had an “event” about having pride in homosexuality. They made it seem that it is something to take pride in. In their advertising they even show a baptism. These are all lies, the true lies and the true hate, and it is something that should cause all that truly have love in their hearts to weep in sorrow for those that will be lost to an eternity of pain and agony.
I will take nothing from the Old Testament in this series. I will stay only in the New Testament. To the teaching of the Son of God and His apostles. Why? So that those reading will come to see the real truth of how this sin is seen by God.
We will start with Romans 1:
Romans 1:18 – But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness. 19 They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. 20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. 21 Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. 22 Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. 23 And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles. 24 So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies. 25 They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen. 26 That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. 27 And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved. 28 Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done. 29 Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip. 30 They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They invent new ways of sinning, and they disobey their parents. 31 They refuse to understand, break their promises, are heartless, and have no mercy. 32 They know God’s justice requires that those who do these things deserve to die, yet they do them anyway. Worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too.
“Worse yet, they encourage others to them, too.”
This is the acts of Disney/ABC. Encouraging others to turn to sin and that is seen as something that is against nature, and deserves to die for. Now I make this very clear, Paul is not referring to physical death, but spiritual death. Something that is far worse than to have our physical hearts stop beating, but to have our souls cut off from the glory and blessing of our Creator. You cannot live in this sin and have fellowship with God. You cannot be baptized and be called clean if you still indulge in sexual acts that go against how God created our bodies to be used, in the continuance of this species, through reproduction.

Biblical facts about the unborn :: WARNING!!! :: GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION AHEAD::

Christian, Christian Life, General, Guide, Life, Relationship, Thoughts, , , , , , View all 2 comments

The earliest surviving premature baby was born at 21 weeks and 5 days. The book of Jeremiah says this:
1:5 – Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
God knows our souls before they even enter into our bodies. Upon the point of conception is when our souls enter into our bodies. So per the Bible we are a living being within the womb. This is not the first time the scientific facts have been shown within the Bible thousands of years before men of science even began to theorize about what now scientific fact is.
It is those that pursue the lust and the desires of the “self,” that teach that this soul filled being within them is not a living and separate being from themselves. All due to the fact that it is growing within them.
If the child was them, it would come out as a clone of them. This is not the case. The child is another person, which they have been given the blessing to carry within them, and to care for. So the soul within it, that God makes clear that He know the being within their womb is a different life altogether. A being with their own rights which starts upon conception, not upon birth.
God tasked the people of Israel to clear out those that lived in the lands that would come to be the lands of their nations. He stated that they were to be totally removed from existence. One reason was due to the fact that they performed human sacrifices. The murder of children.
Now in the guise of women rights, human sacrifice has come to be once again. Those that embrace it do not hide their lust for it. They insist that it must remain, for it is their right and the child within the womb is not even a human being. This is the furthest thing from the truth.
When abortions were first legalized you could only perform this slaughter in the first trimester of the pregnancy. It has since reached the point that these priest and priestess of murder have not only insisted it come to even to the point of birth but beyond. They no longer try to hide the fact that it is truly human sacrificing they desire and lust after.
WARNING!!! :: GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION AHEAD::
The very fact that there is a procedure made for the removal of a child from within the womb in such a way that it is not considered alive until it leaves the womb is horrific in the least.
The fact that they force the woman into the labor and make the child leave the womb feet first is the first of the horrors. For now the child cannot breathe even though it can is the first of these horror for this is noted having seen the 21 weeks I mentioned above where a child did live.
They stop the birth at the point where they can see the neck of the baby leaving the gasping head insight. This is to make it all “legal” and say the child was never born. They then sever the spinal cord and then force a tube into its head and suck out the brains of the child. Thus murdering the child at this point. It is these children that they desire the most. For they are the most developed and ready to live a full and healthy life. But this is not what they desire.
They then take the remains of the child and dissect it and cut it up. Selling its parts like that of a cow or a pig. All in the name of science, when in reality it is for greed and lust of power to control women and the masses at large.
In other words. A human sacrifice. For they do not know nor do they ever desire to know God. For their love is the world. The here. The now. And the fact that they have the power to control and take what is most precious for the world. A living being. A human being. A child of God.

These words or those like them are stated to and by Christians on a daily basis.
This is all due to the Johnson amendment. Which was designed to silence the pulpits from talking about how this nation should be run in the eyes of God through the teachings of the Bible.
For centuries it is from the pulpits that the people of nations were informed of the happenings of their fellow citizens and news of import. With the Johnson amendment they were silenced. All due to greed. If you talk about the government and politics you lose your tax credit status and must pay. This law was an attack against Christianity as well as our first amendment rights as citizens of this this nation.
Now due to this law many Christians think they should not stick their noses into the politics. This is the furthest thing from the truth. Not only do the original laws that form this nation come from the Bible itself, but also that fact that no nation comes to be without the approval of God Himself. So Christians should be and need to be involved. Not only in politics, but all aspects of life. Not for us, but for God.

There can be no peace

Due to the effects of the previous administration the races and cultures have been fractured. This was another element that helps fulfill the prophecies set forth within the Bible. Yet again allowing the ability to call the former person that lived in the white house to be labeled a precursor of the little horn.
The actions of the minority that form the elitist in Hollywood, the universities and the news media strife with vigor to defame, mislead and verbally if not physically those that are the majority of this nation. To them there can be no compromise, no negotiations. They must and have gone to war against God. They make no excuses, they are not afraid to show their hate and distain to the common people of this nation, as well as to God Himself. They will not end this war until they are victorious. They have made that very evident.
Do not assume that just because we have a new and more conservative acting president that they will at some point become silent. This will never happen even again. A war fueled by hate is festering to a boiling point. All we can do is pray and hope for the soon return of Jesus Christ. However there are still things that prophecy says must occur, but as of yet has not. So pray for strength to endure the torments that are still to come, for the final beast is in play.

The Hollywood black list

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

Now this is not about the black list that came about due to McCarthy in the 1950s, this is about now.
If you develop or have conservative and/or even Christian values and views, you are black listed from Hollywood. This is seen time and again and none can question this. Hollywood is at war with conservatives and especially Christianity and the values and ideals that come with this faith. Even some who portray “Christian values” really don’t in many cases.
Due to the Scientology debacle we now know that those in Hollywood do in some fashion desire to find something greater than themselves. Yet most of their ideas revolves upon the “self.” They are so locked into the satisfaction of the self that if any challenge this they are attacked and they do so visually.
It is time Christians stand their ground. Those in Christianity have been surrendering ground for far too long. It is time we unite against those that lust for power and control. To the point that just because they entertain us that they can dictate to us.
It is time to turn off the TVs and not go to movies or the theater. If we must watch TV, watch re-runs or classic movies, especially of the people acting within them have passed on from this temporal plain of existence. It is time hurt those in Hollywood in the one place that will scare them. Their pocket books.
Black list Hollywood!
Boycott Hollywood!
Boycott mainstream news media!

A lull in the storm

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

Do not become relaxed. Do not become complacent. To some degree the United States has entered into a time of where the storm of evil has been held back. However we should not stop praying, we should not stop watching and listening for acts and attacks by those that are evil.
Sin is still welcomed in this nation. The children of darkness still scream at the top of their lungs that they have been robbed of their dreams of darkness and corruption. The last act of the precursor of the little horn was again to show his disdain and hatred toward the chosen of God. Yet the true damage is already done. The last beast has risen from the sea. The beast from which the true little horn will arise is in play. The echo of the little horn has fulfilled the task given unto him in God’s eternal plan.
However the damage he has done to this nation has left a scar upon it. A festering wound that can only be healed with true repentance. A true awakening by more than those that now see the truth. The Word of God needs to be preached louder than ever. For the return of Christ is close, but before He does many will suffer and die. Both physically and spiritually.
More signs than ever before point to Jesus Christ’s soon return. He told those with eyes and those with ears what to look for and what to listen for. False prophets run rampant and cause the blind to think they are special and better than all others. Earthquakes are on the rise. There are wars and rumors of wars. Division between the races and the languages are on the rise, another aspect that the precursor was given power to do has been fulfilled.
The times of peace are behind us. Times will look to be improving but in actuality the darkness will still be just under the surface pushing and seething to rupture into the light once again only this time to totally engulf it.
All is under God’s eternal plan, but that does not mean we cannot act. Due to our free will that He bestowed unto all humanity we must take action. We must fight evil on all levels. Not just in prayer, but in denying power, money and control to those that would seek to follow their base human lusts and desires. One of which is the desire to rule, control and dominate those that they see as inferior and ignorant. This is the core desire of one party in this nation. The party that was denied its queen of darkness.
But do not be deceived. Darkness is in the other party as well and given time there will be those within that will try to twist what is right into something dark as well. This was made clear when those that sin against nature were embraced and welcomed into the fold. This is due to the festering wound that has torn this nation asunder.
This wound is an abandonment of a true understanding of the Bible and the teachings of Jesus Christ. Too many hypocrites live daily in this land. Too many think they are one with God yet live within and of the world. Too many seek their rewards in the now instead of building their reward in the eternal life to come. Too many deny the true image of God and His Son the Lord Jesus Christ. It is due to this that when the storm returns it will be devastating and wreak havoc across the church and this nation.
