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.

If I can tell don’t you think God already knew?

Jesus made it so even the simplest of minds could understand and accept His teachings.
1) LOVE GOD ALWAYS. Place God at the center. Do everything for Him and per the way He said it should be done. Simply if God says something is good in the Bible then it is good and safe. If God says something is bad in the Bible then it is not safe and should be avoided at all costs.
2) Treat everyone like they are you. How would you like to be treated? With kindness, respect, caring, love. Then this is how you should treat EVERYONE. This means your neighbor, the person in the car or truck next to you on the road. People you work with or go to school with.
If you can do this then you are following God. It is also stated in Titus 3:1 to obey the laws of the land and those that enforce these laws.
Signs like “Black life’s matter” are counter to number “2.” What of the White person? What of the Hispanic? What of the Oriental? Do their lives not matter as well? The correct answer is yes, but the moment you make a sign cutting out other races you become a racist. You disobey God thus you deny God. For to God ALL life is precious and has meaning. If we are to make signs like “Black life’s matter,” should we not then make signs that say “Unborn babies matter” Yet the latter would be and has been torn down and torn up when done.
When you listen to those that create a divide within the human race you listen to someone that is Anti-God and in reality hates everyone but themselves. So they have one goal in life to satisfy themselves. They care nothing at all if a black life matters unless they themselves are black and are promised rewards and riches by those in power. The only problem is they will ultimately get nothing since only those in power that have manipulated them will get any type of “reward.”
This is the sad truth of the matter, but will they listen? As long as they deny God the answer is going to be: no they will not.

This is for the football fans (an understanding of the trial called life)

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

You can see how life is for all as you watch an American football game.
The kick off. The ball source down the field. Expectation and excitement fills the air as all watch to the ball. It is caught, the player goes to a knee, or he runs down the field a short distance and is stopped dead in his tracks. Then on very rear occasions, the play that caught the ball runs all the way to the opposite side of the field and scores.
Each possession of the ball no matter the team is like a moment in someone’s life as they strive for their goal. At first, it is just ten yards away. Then they are shoved back and it is further to their goal. At times, they pass, the ball is caught, and a new goal is started once that one ends.
As the team strives forward for the ultimate goal, the touchdown, they are battered and pushed back, but the struggle ever forward. This is how life is and the ultimate goal varies per the persons understanding of life. Most seek after riches and comfort, but that is not the goal they should be seeking. Why? Because they will never be satisfied. The gun sounding the end of the quarter goes off and the process starts all over again but in a new direction. This is the life we are all promised. We all must endure these struggles.
What is different for a Christian that truly pursues a relationship with God is the goals they seek after. Their goals are to help others. Their touchdown is when someone else comes to understand that God is real and accepts Jesus into their lives. Other goals will be to seek a better understanding of the teachings of Christ so they will do better and help others come to know the Lord.
Then when the final gun sounds for the end of the final quarter of their life they will be ready, happy and excited to begin the next journey of the life and to see the wonders of the universe as only a disciple of Jesus will be able to witness.

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.

What do you do with the other 313?

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

Why I say this is too many go to church on Sunday and then they leave God behind inside the church.
They speed to church and then they speed home. Then the rest of the week they speed about for are they even aware they are defying God as they do so. (Titus 3:1).
Being a faithful Christian is a daily way of the life. Your behavior and actions are a constant and never ending reflection of what we commit ourselves too, God.
I do not see Christ running around in a sports shirt, promoting this team or that. When I see a sporting coliseum, I see a building that reflects where thousands of Christians died nearly two thousand years ago. I do not support sports in fact they repel me, because I see them as a distraction from the goals and glories of God.
When I work, I work to do my best and make something of quality. Why? Because Jesus wants me to reflect Him. One of Christ’s greatest teachings is humility, to place all others before yourself and placing God at the center, and only God. When you live like this all you do is seek to make what is the best you can do for it is not for you, but God you are making it for.
Every day you spend within this temporal life is a test given to you by God. Each day He asks anew: “Are you going to reflect My Son today?”
And each day most fail this test.
Each day you awaken and you do not think about God’s calendar of events for you, you let Him down.
Being truly Christian is a 365 days a year task, not 52 days. Just think on that a second. 313 days you leave God and His Son Jesus behind. Is that really how you want to have to explain to God why 52 days you were willing to be His servant, but 313 days you told Him to get lost?

Chaos is not the way

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

How is it possible to go through life in a world that is always in chaos? Each day is something different. Each encounter is always different. Someone that is friendly today is mean to you the next. To me not having something solid to stand upon leaves you vulnerable and weak. You are pulled with the latest fad. In today’s world it spirals ever faster. Not giving you time to think. You are exposed to others that are going through the same thing. How has the human race lasted so long?
I know the answer, but most either do not want to hear it, have turned away from it or downright hate it. They live in their little worlds. In some cases, they let the world overwhelm them. They ask over and over is there more, but due to other in the world, the “more” is being torn away so they do not see it. Places where the “more” could easily be found is void of the “more” even being there. All because they think they know more than the “more” does.
The “more” is the only true constant in reality of the world about us all. Many say the only true constant is chaos, even I have said that, but there is something that is truly constant. It is so constant that it stays in one place, just waiting for you to find it.
What is this constant? It is God, and you can find Him through His Son Jesus Christ who took your sins, your sorrows, your pains upon Himself Just so you can have something that is constant, true, and unyielding. THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY. The creator of the universe and of you.

Confessions of a screwed up middle aged man: As I seek

Christian, General, Life, Thoughts, , , , , , , , , View all 3 comments

As I look about me for a new mate. I watch how ladies act. I find myself checking their left hand for a ring on a certain finger. I comptemplate how we might progress in our possible future as I am determined to work for only nine more years.
I also wonder if that retirement will be as I hope as I see the nation I call home falling apart about me.
I use to prefer ladies younger than me. Even at one point dating a nineteen year old when I was thirty-three. My last wife was even eleven years younger than me, to be honest. Now though that is not what I seek. Now they need to be much closer to my age. They should be looking forward to their retirement as I am. I so want to travel this country once again. I desire to camp within the Rockies and watch the sun change the shadows upon then as the day passes.
I know there is someone out there. But where? There are so many issues to overcome when growing a relationship. They are challenges I know I can overcome. I could have even stayed with my last wife if she could have overcome her selfish behavior. She did not. The stress she placed upon me would have continued to turn what hair I had left upon my head from grey to white as my beard is now.
How do you find a woman that does not smoke or only care for herself?
Dating sites are a joke because the ladies there are seeking a fantasy they will never find. I still laugh inside as I see that they will only give you the time of day if you look like a superhero, and have all their virtues as well.
Well I have the virtues. I am kind, caring, loving, but I have a beer belly even though I do not drink or smoke. I have worked hard my entire life for the most part. I even have damaged lungs because I insisted on being a hard worker. Yet I cannot get a worthwhile lady to even give me the time of day.
As I have stated before this corruptible body is only a temporary body. Used in this lifetime that will be like a blink of the eye compared to our real life we are promised by God. A life that will last billions of years in a body that will not only look like a superheroes, but also have the abilities of one. To be able to travel in an instant to anywhere in the universe, to be muscular and strong, and yet still have the kindness and caring you developed in the corruptible life. How humbling that will be to know that it took corruption to instill true kindness and thoughtfulness. The good man I am now will be the man then in the service of Christ.
Is it then that I will finally meet my mate or will she already be there at my side from this current life?

Confessions of a screwed up middle-aged man: Sharing

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

Days begin and then end. The time in this temporary life ticks by not in the motion of the second hand clicking into to its momentary position and then on to the next one, but time of a day clicking into its position and then into the next one.
Days fly by and there is no sharing them. To be able to say I watch a ship that crosses the ocean slowly move down the river next to where I work. To not be able to share the moment the sunsets upon the Rockies, or rises above them depending on which side you are on at that particular moment is something I truly miss.
My mind is full of things that I only wish to share with one person. Not a friend or co-worker, but someone that has picked me as their equal, their partner. Someone that knows when you take a vow that says forever it does not mean within the lifetime that we live now, but the lifetime that we are promised that will last billions upon billions of years.
Deep down I have always pursued this. Even when I was a child, but now most of my time within this corrupted form has passed. Yet still I search for one person that will accept me for that mess that I am. For am I not only human? Am I not allowed to make mistakes?
I know she is out there. Have I met her before? Have I not met her yet?
I do not know the answers to these questions myself, yet I will still continue to seek her out.

To study nature is to study God.

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

God created the universe. God created the planet Earth. God created the animals upon this planet. God created humans. Now I am one that does not follow the thinking of creationist. To me that limits God. Too many times humans limit God.
There will be those that say the plagues that the Egyptians suffered was due to a nature disaster. I will say since God created the earth He can control the earth and so made the natural disaster in the first place.
God created all the animals upon the earth and so how they behave is due to His plan. Therefore, when you look at a pride of lions, a herd of elephants and a flock of geese flying in a “V” formation you are looking at God.
The universe is too vast to state that by random chance life formed upon this planet. It is also too vast to state that this is the only planet in the universe to have life.
We are promised upon the return of Christ upon the earth that we will receive an eternal body. Why would you need an eternal body if it were meant to stay solely here upon this planet? It is this very reason that as you look upon nature you will see the hand of God. The mere diversity and complexity of each life form be it a planet or an animal speaks of a divine purpose.
Many animals have gone extinct mostly due to humans. The Moa, the Dodo, and yes even the so-called mythical dragon were killed off by man, known as a Behemoth in the book of Job within the Bible. Trolls of myth could have been Neanderthals, and yet they were still killed off by man as well.
All cultures speak of the flood, even the Aztecs and Maya in murals upon the walls of their pyramids, and yet there are those that deny God is real. If you were to truly watch a hummingbird fly, you could never make such an assumption. For God is so great that He thought of even the most basic things as the very atoms that compose everything within a universe that is so vast it is immeasurable.

The child abuse that is called abortion

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

First and foremost. If the mother’s life is in danger and the woman is pregnant due to a rape then a I am full support that if the woman chooses she should have an abortion. If there is an accidental pregnancy then should be allowed once with classes on how to avoid it in the future. When someone uses abortion to remove an unborn child just so she can go and have sex again though is child abuse at the least and human sacrifice at the most.
The way abortions are being done today is equal to the worship of a pagan god that demands you kill a baby upon it’s altar. It is used to allow the woman to live in sin and have sex freely with no consequences.
This is against everything that the Bible teaches and so is against God.
Those that call themselves Christian and support this child abuse then they really need to rethink where they stand in their faith.

Revelation 2
18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; these things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;
19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
