Last update 5-5-99 i guess i still have a few more things to say - added mortal sin
not so Concluding remarks:
After many months of attempting to help people and share the Wisdom God has given me to people in Internet Chat rooms, I have concluded it is a very great waste of time and effort.
Most of the people who come into Christian chat rooms come with their OPINIONS SET. And for every person there is a different point of view. You find yourself arguing with the same people about the same things over and over. Because the opinion is set, they will not acknowledge even your best proofs about God. And those who really believe will not give up on Christ because He is the only Way to Heaven.
So you find yourself in this endless battle of opposing viewpoints.
[Deut 4:29.8] But from there you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Sins and addictions are attached to your body by passion. Passion feeds passion. The more you fight addictions, temptations, and sins, the more energy it seems to give the passion which holds them. The cure for evil is letting it go. When you open up your hand and let go of the passion, evil seems to slip away. With no energy to drive itself, it simply dies out, and you will be free.
cure for sin and temptation...1. Go to a quiet place, alone...2. Pray: Lord forgive my sins, temptations, and addiction(s)!..3. Then relax your entire body from toe to head...i have found, evils rest in physical places in your body. These places are tense - tight...4. Set a timer for 5 minutes and repeat: Praise the Lord - quietly...6. As you repeat the praise, search your body for these knots of tension. When you find them, concentrate on them and relax them...
This may take a little practice. But after you have succeeded at this for a few days, you will be able to use it anytime, anywhere. Afterwards, whenever the temptation comes to do any evil - including your addiction, relax towards it, and you will have total victory...
The PEACE you enjoy as a result of this is the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
...if you genuinely want to know and understand God...you will...it is up to you...no light can penetrate a door locked from the inside...
the wicked cannot see God...they have set their hearts on evil...so when they look at Jesus, the bible, and the church...they only see evil...because that is what they want to see...good will see good, evil sees evil...truth is a mirror which cannot lie...
God is good...you cannot see Him because you say in your heart: Jesus, the church, and the bible are bad...you come to do violence against the church...in so doing you have set your heart on evil...the heart which is set on violence, will not see the good in the church...you will not see God unless you let go of evil...truth is a mirror which cannot lie...
if you all were truly enlightened and full of compassion...you would persecute no one...but that you delight in trying to destroy the Kingdom of God...shows you are not full of compassion, but full of slander...evil cannot see good...God is good...
...people see BASED on what they have set the desire of their heart on...understand?...when folks reject Christ...it is based on some deep seated animosity - hatred...what i see is the hatred of the person you are reflects itself in hatred and rejection of Jesus...
yes, the tirades of those who do not believe...make the love of God just so much more appealing...
darwinism montra: survival of the fitest...result: dog eat dog world, nazi philosophy...christian montra: love thy neighbor...result: a healthy world at peace...
...People who do not believe in freedom end up with FASCISM - forced obedience...people who believe in atheism end up with COMMUNISM...moral relativism and Darwinism end up with dog eat dog - survival of the fittest...the Christian rule: love your neighbor - creates justice, peace, prosperity, and freedom...
directions to the kingdom of God...just click on me...
...you are not saved and God is not in your life because you do not believe...i am saved and have God in my life because i do believe...God is not with you, because you reject Him...you do not see or sense Him, because you are closed to Him...that is why you remain empty of Faith...
...saying: "there is no such thing as FREEDOM"...and preaching: "grace is license to sin, it is good to do evil in the name of the Lord"...the Lord says: [John 8:34] Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, every one who commits sin is a slave to sin.[John 8:36] So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.[2Cor 3:17.17] Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is FREEDOM.[1Pet 1:15,16] but as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in all your conduct; since it is written, "You shall be holy, for I am holy."...the one who calls on the name of the Lord to do evil, uses the name of the Lord in vain...i cannot accept your interpretation of scripture...
...let me show you...by the cross...how to find the Kindom of Heaven within you...one must stop and LET GO of desire/lust/temptation/sin/guilt/bitterness...the crucified christ puts to death the sinful flesh and lets go of the desires of the body...Jesus hands and arms are nailed open...nailed open, He cannot hold onto anything...His resurection is as the Enlightened Man...united fully to God...one in Him...Jesus is the Way...the only way to the Kingdom of Heaven...letting go of sin and temptation...understand?...
...you must activelly relax...be still...the kingdom of God is realized in stillness and peace of the mind and heart...this is freedom and righteousness...no sin...[Pss 46:10.2] "Be still, and know that I am God. I am exalted among the nations, I am exalted in the earth!"
free will and God's limitless nature
God, being free and flexible...knows all events, all choices, and all the consequences of those actions...good or bad...encompasing the full range of all human and universal events...limitless knowledge...jonah and ninevah show this...either repent or be destroyed...God knew the outcome of both...God knows if man travels down the path of lawlessness and injustice...the world would become a burning waistland in short time...He also knows...if people obey Him and do love and justice...the whole earth would be transformed back into the garden paradise...it is our free will choice...
...think of this...the milky way galaxy holds around 100 billion stars...there are something like 50 billion galaxies...God knows every detail about every last star...so, saying He knows all events, all choices, and all the consequences of those actions...good or bad...encompasing the full range of all human and universal events...thus free will is the result of the limitless knowledge of God...
preoccupation with race, gender, or sexual preferance means the person has a hidden or open hatred of a perticular group...prejudice...this prejudice blocks the Holy Spirit...it is a focus on the flesh - idolitry...and a hinderance to Spiritual growth...let it go and be free...
if i am to consider these different philosophies as valid ways
to the kingdom of God...then i have to see whether they are really achievable
goals...because in our lives we sin both intentially and un-intentially...causing
violence and pain to other
life...self generated perfection is impossible...faith in the Lord...and
righteousness through His name is the only option...the only way to God...
...if a doctrine is so lofty and can only be understood after studying under a guru for years...it is an elitist doctrine...a doctrine must be understandable by the lowest of the common people in order to be practical and applicable in day to day life...a doctrine is no good if a poor uneducated illiterate person cannot grasp it...because God is for everybody...
when in mass...the priest tells us all to give each other the sign of peace...and you warmly shake hands with everyone around you...this is GOD...He is most definitly present in the catholic church right now...otherwise no one would shake anybodies hand...
...the little bird gets the thought ''go and eat'' - this is
the Good Thought (Holy Spirit)...to live it must say ''YES, i will go and
eat''...Jesus is YES - the word of faith...the bird, the man, the tree,
the earth - all must say YES to the
Good Thought to live...understand?...
God is not in the grasping...but in the letting go...this is the road to the Kingdom...this is Jesus...
...i have a happy home...healthy children...a good job...a high education...not in debt to anyone...teaching my children scripture...they are in the tops of their classes at school all the time...please show me how practicing Christianity does not work...when everything i do in His name is blessed?...
i hope the Lord gives everyone...the future chance and hope of heaven in the name and blood of Jesus...if you are living a lifestyle that is in opposition to the Word of God...you cannot justify it by twisting scripture...your only hope is to confess and renounce your sins in jesus name...that is your only hope...
...peace without love is an island alone...after a time the emptyness is too much...peace without love is hell...satan's name is slander...anyone who says: good is bad is a satan...the one who promotes good is one with God...peace without love is hell: a lonely bachelor on a sunday afternoon...
judgments people throw out are based in ones own guilt/bitterness...guilt for unconfessed sins...bitterness at sins others have done against you...freedom is in letting go of these...and if someone hurts you again...you let that go too...this is living in the kingdom of God...and resting from sin and temptation in His perfect peace...Jesus is the way of the Lord, letting go...understand?...
judgments we hold against others are based on our own guilt/bitterness
for unconfessed sins...if you hold nothing against others...nothing can
be held against you...people who throw out judgments have a core of unconfessed
sin that must be removed...this heart of sin must be removed by commitment
to Christ...and the real confidence He can and will forgive your sins...once
this is done...perfect peace is Lord in the heart...the Eternal One...
[Eph 4:31,32] Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and
slander be put away from you, with all malice, and be kind to one another,
tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
most people who fight faith...have an axe to grind...a judgment based on some past offense...as long as that person nurses this grudge...they are a prisoner of it...not free...
...letting go...is humble...letting go...is righteous...letting go...is the way of peace...letting go...heals...letting go...forgives...letting go...is saying YES to God...letting go...is love...God is freedom, God is love...Jesus...
...If you do not love and care for your body - it will die; if you do not love and care for your home and family - they will fall apart; if you do not love and care for your job - you will loose it; if a business does not love and care for its customers - it will go out of business; if you do not love and care for your community - it will be criminalized; if you do not love and care for your country - it will die; if you do not love and care for your world - it will become a wasteland. God is love, obey Him and live in peace.
...ignore the ''world's'' definition of beauty and so on...the most memorable line i ever heard on mash...was between hotlips and hawkeye...he said: everybody is looking for a perfect fit, in an off the rack world...the right person for you - may not fit conventional thinking on looks or brains or fashion...you must be open...for the most part, it is the girls call...
depak chopra...he tells the story of a rabbit in a lab...several rabbits were being injected with cancer causing stuff...all the rest of the rabbits got sick and died - except this one rabbit...so they investigated...every night the janitor would come in and pet this rabbit and cudle it...the LOVE the rabbit was getting converted the toxic chemicals into harmless substances...the point - food eaten with LOVE is okay...God is love...
...the truth is a perfect mirror...God is good...He is perfect truth...if you see evil when you look at Him and his word...you are seeing the evil in yourself...
...in most languages you find God's name as a variation of the word "BE" - as in "to be"...and "AM" - as in "I AM"...
YHVH is pronounced Yahveh and Yihvah. In Sanskrit/Avesta - Jivah = "female tongue, fire, and life". In Sanskrit - Ge = "live". Those who worship Ge/Gaia say it means "earth". I believe the intention of the name is - Earth as in ALL THAT EXSISTS - Existent - the TRUTH, fact, reality. In Hebrew - Yah = "existent" (Yah same as Yes). "Ge" is approximately the same as "Ju". "Ge" is the short form of Gaia - Mother Earth/Mother Nature. Wisdom in scripture is consistently referred to as female. A child lives a happy healthy life if he listens and obeys mom, as read in Proverbs. In Sanskrit - Ju = "union". This is intercourse - intimate communication that brings and results in life. This is the Word of God. This is Jesus, the Truth...[Acts 2:3,4] And there appeared to them TONGUES as of FIRE, distributed and resting on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
...joshua = yehoshua...this is different from - ''yeshua''...Jesus says: i have the name of the Father...the Father is named nowhere in scripture - ''yehoshua or yeshua''...if you go into the languages...you find out...YHVH means - I AM LIFE...Jesus = ie + zoo = I AM LIFE...YHVH = JESUS...this is the name of the FATHER...
...are you familiar with thermodynamics?...entropy...and ...the conservation of energy??...the universe wants to always STAY IN BALANCE...this is expressed in scripture as: eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth...all of life is ENERGY...if you take energy from one place...it must be replaced elsewhere...thus, when a man sins - it is taking away LIFE ENERGY...scripture says: the LIFE IS IN THE BLOOD...so for the balance to be maintained, blood must be shed to balance the universe...this is the PRICE OF FREEDOM - blood/pain...JESUS on the cross pays the price for our freedom - with His blood - His Life...it is physics...this balance in the universe...must be maintained...as 6 billion people sin...and most never say 'i am sorry God, please forgive me'...all that negative energy gets reflected back up to the universe...the universe, acting in a completely automatic way...works to correct the imbalance...hurricanes, tidal waves, tornadoes, comets, meteors, super-novas, wars...all acts of God are to correct the balance...
this picture is to help those who do not believe understand God....and help them understand why i fight so hard for Him...
...think about it...we live in a world entirely surrounded by life...much of it we cannot see...one of the main tenants of achieving nirvana - the breaking free of the karmic cycle of death and re-birth...is taking no life...this is impossible...because by the time you learned that...we have killed millions of micro-creatures with every breath, every step...so no one...not even buddha...could have ever broken free of the cycle...because it is impossible to live without killing...
...saying: if it is right for me, it is right...is very wrong...because some people think burning down cities and genocide is right...that is why righteousness is objective reality not subjective...
...abortion is taking anothers life - stealing it - a whole life...it is taking anothers life because they are smaller than you, less educated than you, unable to defend themselves in any way, and inconvenient...these are not good reasons for killing anybody...
...you are not free...you are addicted to the dopamine your body
injects into your brain when you have sex...basically you are addicted
to a pain killer...let go of lust and the sins of the flesh and be free...really
free...you do not have to have sex
to be happy...you do not need sex to live...
...once you taste...really taste the freedom of God...you will find that lust is a burning passion that tyranizes whoever it posseses...to give in to sexual desire...is to make it lord over your life...it is a tyrant which is never fully satisfied...and is incapable of achieving full satisfaction...let it go and be free...
sex in marriage is okay if not excessive...meant for pro-creation...and maintaining intimacy between husband and wife...
people have been convinced by the media and the devil that they cannot live and will not truly be happy without sex...but this is a lie...when you were a little boy and girl and you played openly and freely...you had not a thought about sex...and you were much happier...to let go of sin and sensual desire is to be child like again...and it is a wonderful place to be...yes...
people get pregnant...some people have difficulties in pregnancy which make it very dangerous to have sex...so for over 9 months...pregnancy plus recovery...NO SEX...it is fatalistic to say - i can't do it...TRUE faith is defined in Jesus saying: ALL things are possible to him who BELIEVES...even having no sex for 10 or more months...this is reality...
...actually, the sins we commit, are largely based on the things we hold against others...the hurt of a sin rests in the heart of a person...if this deep ''original sin'' is not rooted out by baptism, confessing and renouncing it...it causes more sin and hurt...
forgiveness must be asked for...because some of our sins are mortal - causing guilt (for our own sins) and bitterness (holding grudges/hurts from sins others have done against me)...which if left un-confessed...destroys faith...and without faith - no salvation...
...eye witnesses...Jesus is and His church lives as witness to His reality...i do not put much credibility in anti-bible anti-christ statements because they ignore the apostles and the early church fathers who were eye witnessses to it all...and most died awfull deaths without denying any of it...by denying these facts, you are calling all these very good people liars...i cannot agree with such thinking...
you miss something in all of this...there would be no church fathers without a church...there would be no church without the apostles...there would be no apostles without Jesus...my faith is cemented with the blood of the apostles...
you do not understand because you do not want to understand...because if you understood...then you would have to believe in Him...and then you couldn't be bad anymore, which is the bottom line...
people abuse the name of the Lord...because they do not know the way of peace...which requires the letting go of lust in all its forms...the violence done in the name of the Lord...is truly evil...the way of the Lord is the ending of the violence of the flesh...
the way of the Lord...letting go of sin and temptation...is much easier than battling unknown forces...the more you seem to fight sin and temptation...the more energy it seems to give evil...when you open up your hand and let go of the battle...evil seems to slip away...no energy to drive itself, it simply dies out...righteousness remains...
Christian translation: Jesus = YES/Faith in God...God = Life, True Love, Good/Limitless Knowledge...Heaven = Peace/Freedom from sin...Hell = separation from God...sin = slavery/anything against God/willful ignorance of good...
...since what you say is what you get...say good things...a good book on this is: what you say is what you get by don gossett po box 2, blaine, WA 98230...it is free...just ask...
...i am calling for prayer by anyone and everyone who cares...to petition God to give everyone one last chance...because from the many chats i have been in very very few even begin to understand...so, this is my prayer......Dear Lord, by the Justice of God and the Holy Name of Jesus...please give everyone in the world ONE LAST CHANCE to confess their sins in the name of the Lord...to see Jesus face to face...to see Heaven and Hell...ONE LAST CHOICE...by the power of the Holy Spirit, the Blood of the Lamb of God, and the Holy Name of Jesus...for the glory of God Most High, King and Creator of the Universe...forever and ever...AMEN!...YES!...When you see Jesus face to face, and you see the glory of Heaven standing behind Him...and Hell at His feet...you will finally understand!... [Mat 18:19.10] Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven...the Lord WILL provide...El Yivah - Amen!...good bye...
...in the end you will get one last chance...when you meet Jesus face to face, and see the glory of Heaven standing behind Him and Hell at His feet...then you will understand and you will be able to make a good decision...right now there are barriers to your understanding...once those barriers are lifted...you will be able to make the good confession...and come into Heaven and have a beer with me and the other saints...in the name of the Lord, so let it be done!...Amen!...
...America has become a land of fear not freedom...people barricade themselves in their homes, dead bolts and chains and locks...even metal grates on the doors and windows...with the lack of faith comes the increase of fear...fear is the partner of Satan...faith and fear cannot live in the same heart...
1Jo 2:18 Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour....1Jo 2:22 Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son....1Jo 4:3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world. ... 2Jo 1:7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.
...the apex of goodness is when Jesus gave His life not only for those who loved Him - but for those who hate Him as well...believe in good God, be good...living faith obeys God...this is my message...
...[Mark 10:38.30] But Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?"...[Mark 10:39] And they said to him, "We are able." And Jesus said to them, "The cup that I drink you will drink; and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized;
...the devil is shown in the bible to be full of wisdom and knowledge...he has faith...and the entire bible memorized...the part that is missing ...is love...without love...man is a monster...the greatest intellect man has shown so far - einstein...invented the atomic bomb...and his theory of relativity...was twisted into relativism...so much for man's vaunted greatness...without God, man will destroy himself...
...though it may offend some, calvinism in the final analysis is anti-christ...because it says: bad is good and good is bad...it is okay to hate and kill and rape in the grace of God...it is evil to do good works...twisted scripture...[Titus 2:14] Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works...so, zeal for GOOD WORKS is evidence of FAITH...not the opposite, which is preached in calvinist churches...
2. at least a desire to obey - love thy neighbor...ones who call themselves catholic and do not fully do this...i doubt them and whatever witness they are trying to do...
1. They reject the present pope. The present pope was duly elected by the college of cardinals. David, even after Saul had tried to kill him a number of times, remained loyal to King Saul. David willingly faced death for the Kingdom of Saul many times. Even after Saul lost the Holy Spirit, David remained truly loyal to the anointed head of his kingdom.
2. The limits on the power of the Holy Spirit. There are no limits. The Holy Spirit perfects the sacraments. The conditions for prayers to be answered say nothing about which denomination a person belongs to, but rather the humbleness of an individuals heart and loyalty to God.
3. Love your enemy. I trust that the present pope and Catholic Church remain THE Church. Even if the Catholic Church was the home of the enemy of God, Christ says for you to love her. [Mat 5:44] But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,.
4. Conclusion: by your negative confession, you are essentially a anti-Christ.
[Luke 6:45.11] The good man out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil man out of his evil treasure produces evil; for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks...[Mat 12:37] for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."
...Pope John Paul 2 is the anointed head of the Catholic Church...he was elected and duly appointed by the college of cardinals...he is the Pope...[1Sam 26:9.20] But David said to Abi'shai, "Do not destroy him; for who can put forth his hand against the LORD'S anointed, and be guiltless?"
The Mystical Body of Christ is the Church. This Church, being a Body, grows changes and matures with time. Though it may loose a finger of a arm due to war or disease, it still remains ONE Body. If the group you belong to left the Body, the Body has not and does not cease to exist. If parts of the Body grow sick or diseased, the Body still remains the Body. Over time the disease will heal. Patients is required. Parts of the Body are only removed when they are diseased and no longer useful to the health of the Body. The Catholic Church is, has been, and remains the Body of Christ.
...jesus said the church would not be defeated and he would hold her up himself to the end of time...the church between 200ad and 1500ad was fully catholic...there was no other church...so either you have to say satan defeated the church between 200ad and 1500ad or indeed - the catholic church IS THE CHURCH...
A. Hate your enemies, if hit hit back harder, love only those who are in your denomination...
B. Love your enemies, turn the other cheek, love one another as i have loved you, if somebody asks you for a shirt, give him your coat as well...?...
...without an image - take a bath/shower: [Lev 15:16] 'And if a man has an emission of semen, he shall bathe his whole body in water, and be unclean until the evening. ...with an image - sin: [Mat 5:28.18] But I say to you that every one who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. ...
...The definition of a Christian is:...
1. One who keeps the Testimony of Christ (The Gospel)...
2. Keeping the Commandments of Christ:...Love thy neighbor...Baptizm...The Lord's Supper...Repentance (confess and renounce sin)...
...Jesus said: if you love me, you will obey my commandments - love one another...if people the world over obeyed God...there would be perfect peace...no war, no pollution, no hunger...a real Christian is one who is kind and forgiving...there are many who are fakes - wolves in sheep's clothing...these are the ones who have given God a bad name...
christ is best, goodness is righteous
...It is right to encourage people to believe in good and do good. It is right and good to give your life for the ones you love. The absolute apex of good and compassion (righteousness) is not only to give your life for the ones that love you, but to give your life even for those who hate you. This is Christ crucified...The self-sacrifice of Christ on the cross inspires us to greater and greater acts of goodness and compassion. To be ‘’inspired’’ by Christ crucified is to be filled with the Spirit of Righteousness and Truth. One must focus on the best to be the best.
...the blessings of righteousness can be followed across the world and ages...when Israel honored God and obeyed Him...their country under Solomon ruled a great empire and prospered like America...then the people fell into idolatry, and the deeper they fell, the more slaves they became, until their whole country was taken away into slavery...the tribe of Dan migrated to Greece...the name of God came with them...for a time, Greece experienced a golden age, because they worshipped and obeyed God in the name of Zeus - when they fell into idolatry, they became corrupted and their civilization fell...the name migrated to Rome as Zeus-patter...there, as long as the people worshipped Him and obeyed Him their empire flourished...the name was merged with Yeshua to become - Je-zeus...as long as the west has honored His name and obeyed Him, they have prospered...now the west is falling into idolatry...the wrath of God is coming, just as surely it came for Israel, Greece, and Rome...
...the Lord, the Lord of righteousness...any people who honor God and do what is right will be blessed...freedom is based on love and righteousness...if the poeple of any country become godless and lawless...that country will come apart from the inside...like a disease eating away at your guts...america and the west, unless they repent of their un-godly-ness...will be swepped away...the same rules apply...obey and be blessed...sin and reap destruction...
...the contradictions you mention are the result of taking scripture out of context...you can make scripture say anything you want by taking it out of context...example: judas went and hung himself...go and do likewise...
1. Who and where were scriptures before the King James Bible came into exsistance?...The obvious answer: the Catholic Church has been the guardian of scripture for hundreds and hundreds of years.
...
2. What about all those billions who don't even read english and the other millions who simply cannot read? Isn't making ''King James only'' shutting off Christ to all those people?...
...
3. Where was the Holy Spirit and the Church between 200ad and 1600ad?...In those years before the Protestant Reformation, the only Church was the Catholic Church. And that Church during those years was fully Catholic. Jesus said He would be present in and guard His Church till the end of the age. That means He was and remains in the Catholic Church.
Creation - How things come to be reality:...Y - Yod - open hand of power - First is the MIND - the self/God/Father...H - He - window - second comes an IDEA - vision/thought/inspiration/spirit/Holy Spirit/wisdom...V - Vau - nail - third comes the POSITIVE AFFIRMATION - yes/faith action/the beginning/amen/Jesus/Son...H - He - window - fourth comes idea is reality - universe/world/reality...If the inspiration is good, it produces something that works and promotes something positive...If the inspiration is evil, it produces something that destroys, causes pain...The Earth works. It grows life and feeds it. The Earth is good. Therefor the thought which resulted in the creation of the earth must have been very good - the Spirit of God.
...find a crucifix...study every little detail...it is ALL there...in its completeness...Christ crucified is the apex of all philosophical and theological thought...the completed work of God...simply open yourself to the Holy Spirit of God...and He will illuminate your soul with the TRUTH...the incarnation of God...
...debating as to whose denomination is better is devilish...the proper way to be is:...encourage each other to believe in and obey the Lord...help each other in their needs...holding nothing against the other...
...we often focus on the wicked works in those passages...look for the cure...
1. give thanks to God - even in the worst of times - [1Thess 5:18] give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you...
2. Acknowledge His name...
3. worship only God...romans 1:21, 28, 23
...what makes one depraved is not the wicked acts - because we are all sinners - it is NOT giving thanks to God or worshipping Him or acknowledging His name that makes one depraved...
...physics - thermodynamics...conservation of energy: energy can neither be made or destroyed...our minds and life are energy...when the body dies...that energy goes someplace else...eternal life - proved by science...energy can be complex...like radio waves...our personal energy signature would be us...your energy would go where it most matched...science again: matched impedances for maximum power transfer, and energy follows the path of least resistance...so...if a persons energy signature more closely matched God - to God he would go...and vice a versa...
...if we are the result of random chance...then why flowers, rainbows, gorgeous nebula in outer space...why aren't we just piles of goo...with an eye ball here and there...the world just a formless gray pile of dirt...?...hmmm?... ...the dna which life is based is a 4 bit digital code...computers only work when the program is correct...a program needs a writter...and random chance forming a complex 4 bit digital code that works!...is a very great leap of the imagination...no way...
...Evolution: the religion...churches - science museums...priests - scientists...mantra/prayer - survival of the fittest...saint - Darwin...bible - origin of species...doctrinal texts/devotionals - science books...excuse for sin - we evolved...
...if you understand - love - who we understand is God - is the working/order/design/WAY of the Universe - the TRUTH (true to the design) - that Christ on the cross incarnates the WAY (true love) in giving His life for everyone - providing life for those who believe (ordering and harmonizing ones life with the WAY) - it all makes sense...God is forever, older than the Universe He designed - first cause - the cosmological argument/theory of relativity...
...if evolution is true, then man will eventually evolve into god...and if man evolves into god...then god exists...and if man becomes god, then he will be able to go back and forth in time...and be god...so, the evolutionist who does not believe in God, has not fully thought out his position...
...the face of God...is the face of the person who does you a bit of good...the Spirit of love - not the emotion...can only be seen in people who do good works...by that we know it is real...
...out of context with the rest of scripture...'faith' is 1 dimensional & becomes a gnostic formula...when put in context with the rest of scripture should be read 'faithfulness' - to believe and obey Christ...because scripture says: saul was considered UNFAITHFUL because he disobeyed the commandment of God...[1Chr 10:13.9] So Saul died for his unfaithfulness; he was unfaithful to the LORD in that he did not keep the command of the LORD, and also consulted a medium, seeking guidance, ...the statement of faith is the marriage proposal...baptism the marriage...the Lord's supper, the reception...to be faithful to the Bride Groom...we must obey Him...otherwise sinning we become un-faithful...and without faith - no salvation...
...faith without works is dead, faith without love is nothing, Jesus rebuked the fig tree when He came to it and it had NO FRUIT, Grace = love one another = GOOD WORKS...[Gal 5:22.3] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,[Gal 5:23] gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law.
...the fruit of faith is the grace to live a holy life...
...the devil has faith, the devil has the entire bible memorized, the devil can speak in every toungue on earth...is he saved?...nope...what is missing...love and good works...[Gal 5:6] For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any avail, but faith working through LOVE.
fists of jesus - the right way to be...
...do you think, when Jesus sat with the prostitutes and tax collectors...that he yelled at them and wagged his finger at them...and beat them with his fists to get them to pray just right and memorize scripture?...I don't think so...Jesus was grace-full forgiving and kind...so, that is what I am trying to be ...the correct way to be is...i believe in Jesus Christ as my savior...everyone who believes in Jesus i must consider my brother and sister...because i am a sinner too...God is the judge, our job as Christians is to spread the word to increase God's Kingdom, not shut the doors on anybody, but encourage people to believe in and obey the Lord...if the Holy Spirit draws one, then good...you cannot force people into the Kingdom of Heaven...
[Luke 6:37.9] "Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;
...you just have to relax and trust in the love, grace, and mercy of Christ, then the web of sin you are in will collapse, it is supported by you trying to resist it, then, confess all the evil, all the sin, all the offenses, anything you hold against anyone with open palms towards heaven, and ask the Lord to forgive you, and He will !!!... [1John 1:9] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
...Knowing what will happen does not exclude free-will. I can know that you are going to rob a bank; that I know that doesn't take away your free will to accomplish or not accomplish that action. You are still acting freely even though I have foreknowledge of that event.
…freedom = the kingdom of God...free is from a word in Sanskrit "prija" which means ''beloved''...Salvation = Freedom...Jesus = Savior...if you do not believe in Freedom, you do not believe in Christ...because Jesus says: [John 8:36.7] So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed...
...true freedom is knowledge of God in doing what is right...because sin ENSLAVES...to stay free, be thankful to God, forgiving and kind...
...God is always for setting people free...for the Lord to break one set of chains to put you in another would be uncharacteristic of God who is Salvation (Freedom)...the hand of God is open...though nothing can pluck you out of that hand...of your own free will you can step out of it...as many have testified to doing in this chat...
...this is the fundamental difference in Catholic and Protestant theology...to Lutheran/Calvinist we have no free will and freedom does not exist...a cornerstone of Catholic theology is free will - that people can and do make their own choices, that we determine our own destiny...for God to hold you in a clenched fist would be uncharacteristic of God...because Jesus says: sin enslaves...and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom.
...because you if deny free will, your interpretation of God is full of error...God is freedom...to realize freedom - Christ must become real in the mind and heart...because He is the truth, and the truth will set you free...
...nature hates a vacuum...remove christianity and something else will fill the gap...like islam...slavery...forced obediance...the freedom you cherish so much is the result of christianity...the whole of western society is founded on christ...without Him...your freedom will vanish...
...Christ is our freedom...this knowledge seems the most important thing i have learned about the Lord...it answers the question why the U.S. is becoming more criminal and opressive day by day...to believe in the Lord and obey God is our freedom...because sin enslaves...the truth will set you free...oh this is so important...
...no, i will not give up Christ Jesus - because He is my freedom...to give Him up, is to give myself over to slavery...NO THANK YOU!...[Jas 1:25] But he who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer that forgets but a doer that acts, he shall be blessed in his doing.
...jesus is my friend and i do what he wants because i love Him...not because He holds me in a clenched fist...i stay in God's hand of my own free will...at any time...of my own free will...i could leave and never return...it is my choice...i choose to stay...that is free will, and true devotion to God...
...the Jesus is my best friend...He will never die or move away...always there when i need Him...my faithful companion forever...
...the ones who do not believe...how can we open your hearts to God?...you see, we truly have this Holy Spirit living within us...it is a real presence...how can we explain that?...our love for the Lord is real...that you continually deny what we know deep in our hearts is true...does not work...you treat it all as an academic exercise, but that is not it, not it at all....the only way truly would be for you to experience His presence, His love...and to do that you need to be open to Him...as long as you remain closed to Jesus...all of this will remain a mystery to you...
...this is the part that really sets those who believe from those who do not - a close personal relationship with God...i enjoy a close personal relationship with God...a relationship people who do not believe...do not understand...i do not toally understand it myself...but i know it is there...and i know it is true...so to deny Him...would be to deny my honest feelings i am experiencing from Him right here and right now...that is why arguing with a person about whether God exists or not does not compute...it bears no reality because it does not acknowledge the presence and truth of Christ...right here and now...
...that is it you know...if the Lord - the Holy Spirit was not in us...the desire to pray, read scripture, go to church, obey God...would not be there...that these motivations are alive in us...says: God is real, Jesus is real, the bible is real...if these were not true...the motivation would be gone...understand?...
...please explain to me exactly how...eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar...mix themselves together in exactly the right amounts, bake themselves in exactly the right temperature...in exactly the right amount of time ...to make a cake...that tastes good?...making a living cell is at least 1,000,000 times more complex than this...how could it happen without a cook?...God...
...God is good...no good no universe no order no life...the first single
cell could not have formed without good being present...if good was not
present - the cell would not live, and it would not function or stay together...very
basic...God is good...without God being present, who is good...nothing
would hold together or function...and nothing functions without good...this
computer would quickly stop running if the program went bad...this human
body would die without good...it is simple...
[Proverbs 19:11] The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger, And his GLORY is to overlook a transgression.
...i have hope for Heaven in Jesus name...it fills me with real joy...joy that zaps negative life killing energy...it has set me free...join me!!...put your hope in Heaven!...throw away your negative doubtful ways for the way of hope...!!!...you will finally start enjoying life...come on!...Dear God fill the minds and hearts of everyone in here with your positive life giving energy...give them the hope of Heaven...rebuke their doubt...by the power of God in Jesus name, Amen!...
...God is in the hugs...wraps big strong hairy arms around everybody in room...(((((((((((((((((((((((room)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))...hee hee!...
...i see no faith in your words...[Mat 5:22.49] But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.[1John 4:20] If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
image of truth, images filled with a spirit
...i believe all of creation was made in the image of God...because jesus said: only God is good...and after He finished creation, God said: it was VERY GOOD...you could say, it reflected the truth...after man sinned, he no longer reflected the truth...the image of God...
...all images, literature, objects...carry with them some of the ONE who made them...paintings, art, sculpture, buildings, books, etc...the spirit which inspired the work reveals itself when you focus on that object...good objects inspire faith and worship of God...evil objects inspire you to hate, kill, do evil...like porno carries the spirit of lust and self-destruction...we become what we focus on - this is worship...
...i can tell you first hand...lust has a evil spirit with it...it will take over your life and your mind...it will make you slave to it...break free!...renounce and rebuke it...think about when you were little...4 or 5...how free you were...not a thought about sex or anything like that...just play...that is the freedom you need to seek...freedom in innocence... freedom of Christ is freedom in innocence...like a little child...no thoughts to sex...just play...innocent play...
...the mistake people make in pointing to scripture and saying ahaaa!...is they do not have the full picture...they make judgments on partial information...because they do not understand God's actions...they say that it is wrong...God can do anything He wants simply because He is God...He does not need to ask our permission if He wants to just sweep us all away and start over...it is wrong to judge God...
your concept of God is very limited...God has full power to give life - and take it away...that IS God...no one elses...God has full sovereign right and power to terminate you and i any time and in any way He desires - simply because He IS God...you seem to believe God has to come to you and ask permision to do anything...He does NOT...
...people spend too much time worrying about anothers walk in Christ...when we should be holding ourselves up to the standard of God's word...
...so, when the protestants say, the catholic church killed heretics...just point at good ole king henry and say...king henry the eigth, leader of the english reformation had all the roman catholic clergy executed when they did not convert to the church of england...those who live in glass houses should not throw stones...
...Jesus is King of the Jews...God bless Israel!...[Mat 27:11.18] Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, 'Are you the King of the Jews?' Jesus said, 'You have said so.'...
God is the life inside of us all - the Breath of Life...we are made in the image of God...so rejection of God is founded on the rejection of yourself...when we are true (righteous), we reflect God who is the truth - Jesus (John 14:6)...the mirror never lies...
...Jesus took on all of our sins on the cross...When we eat Jesus in the Lord's Supper, we are eating our sins...[John 6:53] So Jesus said to them, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you;...This is how your sins go away:...[Mat 15:17] Do you not see that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and so passes on?...
...i believe eating Him and drinking Him is the most evil for the most good - remember - he became sin for us, so that our sin would be hammered to the cross and die there...[Col 2:14] having canceled the bond which stood against us with its legal demands; this he set aside, nailing it to the cross.
1. the quaran says to obey the torah and the gospel...
2. yet it does not agree with either one...
3. the quaran says moses was struck by lightning, and God raised him from the dead...
4. the torah does not show any of this...
5. the quaran says jesus was born under a palm tree...
6. the gospel of luke says jesus was born in a manger 3 times...therefore, mohammed is a false prophet...and no modern man has ever been able to fully obey the torah...because animal sacrifice has been stopped...
...the thing about islam that i cannot reconcile is...the quaran tells you to obey the gospel...but does not agree with it...because the gospel says many times Jesus is the Son of God...so, shrugs shoulders...Jesus is Lord...
...this is what islam does...it picks and chooses a verse here and there to suite its philosophy...how can you use scripture to prove what you believe in - and then deny it a few sentences later...this is what the quaran does...
...the people who lived in arabia prior to mohammed believed in over 360 gods... one of which is allah, who at the time had 3 daughters ( al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat)...somehow allah lost his daughters when mohammed came... allah also had a wife - alli...allah (poor guy) lost his family because of mohammed...that would really piss me off...
1. the absolute greatest good any man can do on this earth is to give his life to save another: Jesus did this on the cross...
2. john the Baptist is recognized by Islam as a prophet...he says: behold the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world...
3. you can only worship God, so, to worship Jesus as anything less than God is a sin - so, if we worship Him at all, we must worship him as God...
4. God requires a PERFECT lamb without blemish...thus, john the Baptist testified that - Jesus is PERFECT, the atonement for our sins...only GOD IS PERFECT...so john the Baptist testified that Jesus was Lord... I trust the PERFECT LAMB OF GOD...who john the Baptist testified to...I need no other...
moral relativism - the god who does not care
...Jesus is the God who loved me enough to die for me...where is there a god, any god, who has given his very life for those who believe in him? pagan gods may have you die for them, but where is the god who loved me so much he was willing to die for me? that is Jesus the Lord, the God who cares for me!...a care-less god is no god at all...
...Archaeological excavations conducted in Nazareth (by Bagati since 1955) show that Nazareth was a small agricultural village settled by a few dozen families. The pottery remains testify to a continuous settlement during the period 600-900 BC. After those years, there was a break in settlement until the year 200 BC. Since then, the site of Nazareth has been consistently inhabited.
open hand of God can help, if you let Him
...it is wise to hold all in your life in an open palm...for God to take or to give...when you sin, and ignore God...your palm is closed...He can't help you, if you are not open to help...
...how open minded is the person who does not read simple history, read it and know Jesus is a real person, that his testimonies have been thoroughly examined by the Harvard school of law and found as valid legal evidence, that Einstein's theory of relativity mathematically proves St. Thomas Aquinas cosmological argument for the existence of God?...the God of the Jews is TRUTH...the disciples believed Jesus to be this truth...lying and coming up with a nice story would be the farthest thing from their minds...that the gospels were each written at different places, at different times, by different authors, in different languages....and vary but a little in the testimony of Christ...testifies to the reality of Christ...and the theory of relativity mathematically proves that there was a first cause...thus proving St. Thomas Aquinas cosmological argument...
...go here for the argument - first cause - go here for how it ties into the theory of relativity - and just because you did not see it happen with your own eyes, does not mean it is not true, the same thing could be said about the theory of evolution...
...optimism and faith are better than doubt and pessimism...to say a particular church cannot do such and such is denying the limitless power of the Holy Spirit...to give confidence in the ability of a priest to administer the sacraments in truth in Jesus is openness and confidence in the limitless power and love of the Holy Spirit... to say a priest is able to forgive my sins in the name of Jesus...is faith in the limitless power of the Holy Spirit...
...Do you limit the power of the Holy Spirit by nullifying the acts of faith performed by another body of believers - things you really have no power to do??...the Holy Spirit is the Spirit in which the Catholic Church does what it does...to say: it isn’t so!...is LIMITING God...He is more than able to confirm and act in the sacraments of the Catholic Church...He is able...ALL things are possible to him who believes... open your mind to the limitless power of the Holy Spirit and you will see i am correct...
--you will find perfect peace--by saying over and over--Praise the Lord-and focusing on a picture of the crucified Christ--it will set you free
...people do not realize...to have Jesus in the heart means we have the very creative energy that made the universe inside of us...ALL things are possible to him who believes...we can do it!...God says so...we just have to believe!...the universe is waiting out there...i can reach the stars in Christ...YES I CAN!...
...Dear Lord, through the intercession of Archangel Saint Michael, Archangel Saint Raphael, Archangel Saint Gabriel, and Archangel Saint Uriel...rebuke the doubts of everyone in this place...fill their hearts and minds with the faith and love of Jesus Christ...protect us all from the evil one and his forces...by the power of the Holy Spirit, the blood of the Lamb of God, and the Holy Name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen!...
...i have left an open prayer to God for my entire life, my life is a prayer to God, i talk to Him all day, not just in the morning, i am depending on the Holy Spirit to perfect the prayer that is my life...[Rom 8:26] Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words...though this prayer that i am, stumbles at times for the right words, the right actions...in time the Holy Spirit will present me to God through Him...perfect...not because of me...but because of Him...
Dear Heavenly Father...we hold up -name-...bless her, heal her, save her, forgive all of her sins...by the power of the Holy Spirit, the blood of the lamb of God, and the Holy name of Jesus, for the Glory of God Our Father, Amen!...
Holy, Holy, Holy...Lord God of Hosts...Heaven and earth are full of your glory...Hosanna in the highest...blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord...Hosanna in the highest...Praise the Lord...forever and ever...amen!...
Hallelujah! Amen!...in the mighty name of Jesus, I rebuke the spirit of doubt in this room! By the Power of the Holy Spirit - in the name and in the blood of Jesus...spirit of doubt be bound in shackles and chains and thrown into a deep dark pit guarded forever by the mighty angels of God...Amen Amen and i say AMEN!...
...there is much historical evidence that shows much of scripture is right on...i practice what the bible teaches...i have all i need...i have no real debt...money growing in savings...a healthy happy family...i have tons and tons of hands on proof that God is all the bible says He is...as well as prayers being constantly answered...honestly...how much more proof could i need?...it astounds me that so much factual proof that the bible is for real is totally blown off...if the bible was fake...people who practice it would fail...but i succeed...and i know for certain it is not because i am smart or anything like that...it is because i call on the name of the Lord and do my best to obey Him...
...Because you hath set your love upon me, therefore will I deliver you: I will set you on high, because you hath known my name...you shall call upon me, and I will answer you: I will be with you in trouble; I will deliver you, and honour you...With long life will I satisfy you, and shew you my salvation...
...the question is...what is it that you love so much...you are willing to go to hell for it?...honestly...what are you afraid of loosing by asking Jesus into your heart?...
...grace is the religion of Christ...if you do not practice it...your faith is empty...don't only talk jesus - do jesus...that is true religion...Grace in practice: thankful to God always, forgiving and kind...plus participating in the sacraments: Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Eucharist, Penance, Extreme Unction (anointing the sick - when needed), Orders (ministers, priests, bishops - if called), and Matrimony (for some)...
...Jesus Christ is the Lord of the Sabbath...to be in Christ is to be in the Sabbath all the time...and His teaching is: [Mat 12:12.18] Of how much more value is a man than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath."...all the time in other words...to be in Christ is to cease from sin...which is the ultimate meaning of the Sabbath...to rest from sin in God...
[Rom 13:10] Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law...
[Col 2:16] Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath.[Col 2:17] These are only a shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ...
...to believe in Jesus and love as He has loved us - preach, heal, forgive, be kind...then we have completely covered all the requirements of the law...you can go to church any time you like, because in Christ we are in the Sabbath rest of God, we are in the Sabbath all the time, every day - including Saturday, is dedicated to God...
[Acts 20:7] On the first day of the week (SUNDAY), when we were gathered together to break bread (CELEBRATE THE LORD'S SUPPER), Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the morrow; and he prolonged his speech until midnight.
[Rev 1:10] I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day (SUNDAY), and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet
...those who confess and renounce their sins and believe and obey Christ will enter the kingdom of heaven...those who have never heard or been exposed in any way to jesus will be judged according to the way they have lived...those who hear of Christ and reject him will be burned forever in the lake of fire...those who believe in Him, but do not obey Him, will experience punishment - but only for a time...those who do evil in the name of the Lord will loose their salvation and burn - unless they repent...
...I believe we must keep a tight focus on Jesus Christ, and maintain that focus by prayer, and obedience to God...for ALL the days of our lives...salvation is a race - not just a one night stand...it is a marriage in which we must remain faithful...to obtain the prize of heaven...[mat 5:32] Jesus says: it is permissible to divorce if there is cheating...sin is cheating on the Bride Groom Christ...be faithful to your love...
...sex is so attractive because it is a fleshly reflection of the Spiritual Intimacy built into the very name of God...sex is a holy thing...it is meant for the creation of all life - new life...and heterosexual marriage is the only good place for it to be practiced...people who are lost in the flesh...really deep down want God...Pure Intimacy...they are just looking in the wrong place...the flesh...God is Spirit...Jesus is the Spiritual Union of God and man...
...if a person is hitting their head with a hammer - is it true love to stop him...or let him continue?...IT IS TRUE LOVE TO STOP HIM...world love says...go ahead and keep hitting your head - and here, because i love you so much, have a bigger hammer...STOP hitting your head with the hammer of sin!...or you will die...
...saying, sin is just a matter of perception...subjective...is a way of making an excuse for doing evil...God is not a fool...saying it is all realative, is false...reality is objective...the universe does not revolve around me...when i die...the world will go on...that is reality...
...Let me tell you a little testimony. I was unemployed for over a year awhile back. My gut was a mess, with worry and such. My head was spinning. I had prayed all I could, and nothing seemed to work. Finally, without to much thought. I just picked up this little prayer card that was lying around the house. It was a picture of Jesus on the cross. With my head and gut spinning with worry. I sat down and started looking at the wounds of Christ on the cross. My eyes past from hand to head to hand to the gash in His side. Then it felt like a big bucket of holy water just poured over me/through me. All of my worries went away - instantly. And I knew I would have a good job soon - and I did. I have experienced the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I know it is true.
...O.K., so now i am thinking for myself...the unbeliever wants me to trade Triumphant Christ for my fallible self or nobody at all...trade emptiness for fulfillment...trade an eternal grave for Heaven...trade death for life eternal...thinking for myself, God wins...thinking for myself, life with God is much better than death without Him...
...so, atheists, if the armed and ruthless nation of russia for 50 years tried to destroy Christ and His church totally and utterly failed...how by your empty reasoning do you hope to destroy Him here...it won't happen...Jesus is Lord...you need Him...bad...
...if you have something neat happen in your life...you want to tell the world...these things happened to people in the bible...God is TRUTH...for a jew to lie - would offend them mightily!...if a scribe copies a thousand pages of scripture and makes one mistake on the last word - he has to throw it out and start over...that is the masoretic tradition - perfect accuracy in the transmission of scripture...
...the church of Jesus Christ is Universal, it is not limited to your denominations theology or interpretation of scripture, the Dominion of Jesus does not stop at your church door - Universal=Catholic...the church is only limited by the dynamic limitless power of the Holy Spirit...Who belongs to the Catholic Church? 836 'All men are called to this catholic unity of the People of God.... And to it, in different ways, belong or are ordered: the Catholic faithful, others who believe in Christ, and finally all mankind, called by God's grace to salvation.'[320] ...this is NOT universal salvation...[Mat 22:14.8] For many are called, but few are chosen."
...i had a dream/vision...where i saw the very fire of God...i reached out and touched the fire...my hand turned rainbow colors in the flame...i did not burn...then i saw a figure in the flame...on his chest was written...I AM...in big letters...i said, Lord i love you...and He said...I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob...do not be afraid John, I will take care of you!...then He reached out His fiery hand and put it INTO my head...for a moment...then He withdrew His hand...He put His arms up and the flame mushroomed out like an atomic bomb...then formed into the shape of Jesus...and He said...look to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth, for I am God, and there is no other!...
...previous to Germany making war on the world...certain intellectuals - through the pseudo-science of biblical criticism...called God a myth and the bible just a collection of stories...soon after...Germany built up its war machine...attacked...causing the deaths - in a very short span of time - of something like 100 million people...man without God is a monster...life without God makes hurting others easy...
...God is present and factual in the love expressed between a husband and wife...and the genuine love of a mom for her children...i anchor my faith in this...the name of God is YES...nothing happens anywhere without this word being invoked - either mentally or verbally...the sum of all wisdom is this: say YES to love and obey it...God is love...
...Dear Lord, by the Justice of God and the Holy Name of Jesus...please give everyone in the world ONE LAST CHANCE to confess their sins in the name of the Lord...to see Jesus face to face...to see Heaven and Hell...ONE LAST CHOICE...by the power of the Holy Spirit, the Blood of the Lamb of God, and the Holy Name of Jesus...for the glory of God Most High, King and Creator of the Universe...forever and ever...AMEN!...YES!...When you see Jesus face to face, and you see the glory of Heaven standing behind Him...and Hell at His feet...you will finally understand!...El Yivah - Amen!...
[Rev 21:8] But those who are full of fear and without faith, the unclean and takers of life, those who do the sins of the flesh, and those who make use of evil powers or who give worship to images, and all those who are false, will have their part in the sea of ever-burning fire which is the second death.
...the great commission:..Go therefore and make disciples of all nations...baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit...teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you...and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age."...[Mat 28:19,20]...
...if we make peace with one another...setting aside our differences...make peace...and pray for one another...we defeat the devil...
...I'm here to try to answer any questions you have that might be stopping you from believing in God...[1 Timothy 1:5] The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.
...Jesus offers: eternal life, love, joy, freedom, friendship, peace, Heaven, Salvation...if what you believe in does not offer these things...dump it...Jesus wants you!...Why would anybody abandon Christ, when it is impossible to exceed the benefits of fellowship with Him...?...
...wisdom says: do whatever He tells you to do...He says: if you love me keep the commandments...keeping the commandments is: the fear of the Lord...the fear of the Lord is wisdom...wisdom says: do whatever He tells you to do... well, if you say you are the center of the universe and everything revolves around me...this is foolish...you just have to look up at the sky to know there is something much greater than me just over my head...the way of the Lord is to live in harmony with the big sky that hangs over your head...this repect for that which is greater than me...is 'fear of the Lord'...wisdom...
...ultimately...God is responsible for everything...that is why...when
Christ went to trial...He made no excuses...as a sheep led to slaughter...in
Christ God took the blame for everything...that is why we can have confidence
in Him as our Savior...
...I base my faith on the fact of love...obey it and life goes well...don't and life is hell...
...without the charity-love of your parents in raising you, changing your diapers, wiping your nose, feeding you, staying up all night when you were sick...you would be dead...God is charity-love...why do you avoid the obvious? love is what motivates you to take care of yourself, if you did not love yourself, you would not take care of yourself, based on this evidence, love is real, if you used the same love that motivated you to eat and take care of your body today, to take care of the world, wouldn't it be a much better place? God is love, very simple.
...[Ezek 33:20] Yet you say, `The way of the Lord is not just.' O house of Israel, I will judge each of you according to his ways."...[Job 34:10-12] "Therefore, hear me, you men of understanding, far be it from God that he should do wickedness, and from the Almighty that he should do wrong...For according to the work of a man he will requite him, and according to his ways he will make it befall him...Of a truth, God will not do wickedly, and the Almighty will not pervert justice...
...see also Romans 2:13-16, Romans 14...
...false assumption you make: everybody has to believe like me or their going to hell...this is wrong...the little baptist boy who reads his bible and prays to God is in God's hands...the little old catholic lady in the philipines who humbly prays her rosary is in God's hands...your judgment only goes as far as you...and you will have to live with them...so, judge no one...[Luke 6:36] Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful. [Luke 6:37] 'Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; [Luke 6:38] give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For the measure you give will be the measure you get back.'
...the truth is what we see, not what we think we see...the problem is: 1. we keep the scripture that sounds good, 2. throw away or ignore scripture we don't like, 3. interpret scripture that does not agree with the denominations version of theology until it means something other than the truth, 4. lack of faith necessary to understand and accept the simple truth of scripture...if scripture means something other than what it says...then we can't trust any of it...
[1Cor 15:24] Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power...[1Cor 15:25] For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet...[1Cor 15:28] When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things under him (the Father), that God may be everything to every one...[John 14:16.13] And I (Jesus, Son of God the Father) will pray the Father, and he will give you ANOTHER Counselor, to be with you for ever, even the SPIRIT OF TRUTH, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him; you know him, for he dwells with you, and will be in you...
[Mat 3:16.29] And when Jesus was baptized, he went up immediately from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and alighting on him;[Mat 3:17] and lo, a voice from heaven, saying, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."
[Job 36:17, 21] "But you are full of the judgment on the wicked; judgment and justice seize you...Take heed, do not turn to iniquity, for this you have chosen rather than affliction...
JW false prophetic dates - 1914, 1918, 1941, 1975
...if you truly believe that Jesus is the Christ and believing in Him your sins are washed away...then the Roman Catholic Church is absolutely spotless...because she celebrates Jesus Christ - round the clock - 7 days a week - 365 days a year...The Roman Catholic Church is immaculate and perfectly clean...in the blood of the lamb of God...Jesus Christ - He is able...there is no limit to the love of God...if you say the Roman Catholic Church is not washed in the blood of Christ...you limit God and His love...He is able...
...I hope God opens your eyes...and instead of judging the Roman Catholic Church...you pray for her...and intercede for her...and do 'love one another'...because you do not persecute just people...but the body of Christ...doesn't that bother you?...[1John 4:20.23] If any one says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen...
...I am sealed in the promise of God's salvation...Sealed in the Holy Spirit...Sealed at baptism and confirmation...Now, I must live up to the call...So I can stand before His Father, put my hand in His, look Him in the eye, and tell Him I love him - without an once of shame... [1 John 3:7] Little children, let no man deceive you. He that doth justice is just, even as he is just...
...the point is...you call the catholic church all kinds of nasty names when the protestant church is just as guilty of sin...the purity protestantism implys when it passes judgment on the catholic church is non-existant...before you attempt to take the splinter out of my eye, remove the telephone pole out of yours...
[Mat 18:33] and should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?...[Mat 18:34] And in anger his lord delivered him to the jailers, till he should pay all his debt...[Mat 18:35] So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart."...
[Zech 13:9.11] And I will put this third into the fire, and refine them as one refines silver, and test them as gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will answer them. I will say, `They are my people; and they will say, `The LORD is my God."
...the Lord is absolutely humble...so as long as you say - i can do it...He says: O.K. go ahead and give it your best shot...when you get to that place - where no matter how hard you try - it just won't work...and you say: i give up, Lord please help me...then suddenly things change and work themselves out...this is reality...i have seen it happen again and again...let go and let God...
Islam says Jesus is the Messiah:
...where in the quaran can you find...proof of allahs love...and where the quaran offers hope???...
...if the moslems knew...Christ crucified is perfect absolute submission to the will of God...islam = submission...so a true moslem would accept Christ as Lord...not reject Him and slander Him...so to be a perfect moslem, you need to become a Christian...
[Al-Imran 3:45.25] (And remember) when the angels said: O Mary! Lo! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a word from him, whose name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, illustrious in the world and the Hereafter, and one of those brought near (unto Allah).
[John 4:25, 26] The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ); when he comes, he will show us all things." Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am he."
[Mat 27:4.7] saying, "I have sinned in betraying innocent blood." They said, "What is that to us? See to it yourself."
"And if the Lord had willed, He verily would have made mankind one nation, yet they ceased not differing, save him on whom thy Lord hath mercy; and for that He did create them. And the Word of thy Lord hath been fulfilled: Verily I shall fill hell with the jinn and mankind together." (Qur'an 11:118, 119)
...quaran contradicts gospel at [Surah 4:71] - God has no son...&...[Surah
19:23] - Jesus born under a palm tree...
...if what you believe in is in harmony with...love thy neighbor...then there should be no conflict...rather recognition of a friend...Jesus...
...Unless you can demonstrate for me the superiority of what you believe in to the sacrificial-charity-love of Christ on the Cross, you are wasting your time. There is nothing on earth, in the sky, in Heaven, in Hell, or anywhere else in all creation superior to the sacrificial-charity-love of Christ on the Cross. It is impossible.
...Jesus Christ crucified is the Unbreakable Universal Naked Truth...nothing you believe can ever surpass the love of Christ on the cross...[John 15:13] Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends...
...we all need to understand, the diety of Christ is crucial to our salvation...judas was not saved because he did not believe jesus was Lord...peter, though he denied Christ 3 times...beleived in the diety of Christ and was saved...if jesus is not the Lord Himself, then the act of killing Him could be considered cruel (what father would kill his own son?), that jesus is Lord makes the sacrifice of the cross God giving His VERY OWN LIFE for the people of the world, an act of supreme love, to die for the one(S) you love...[John 15:13] Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends... if we worship jesus as anything less than God, we are NOT worshipping God, because there is only one God...
[1Cor 11:2] I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I have delivered them to you. [2Thess 3:6.32] Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from any brother who is living in idleness and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us...
...I feel that all that is said about the Virgin Mary applies to EVERYONE who believes in Jesus and has the Holy Spirit in their heart. Because at the very least, she is a type of the bride of Christ...You see, if I deny what is said about Mary, then I feel I deny the Power of God imputed to every believer in Jesus...
...Mary is the Mother of Christ...if you are in Christ, in the Spirit - Mary is your Mother too...and the Mother of the Church...be very careful when you talk about her...Jesus would not like the one who curses his Mother or calls her a prostitute...this is a great sin...
...[Mat 22:29.16] But Jesus answered them, "You are wrong, because you know neither the scriptures nor the power of God....[Mat 22:32] `I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? He is not God of the dead, but of the living."...
2. We are HE (Christ): [Rom 12:5.7] so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another...which INCLUDES Mary......
3. Anyone who has the Holy Spirit can forgive sins: [John 20:22]..."Receive the Holy Spirit...[John 20:23.5] If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained."...[Jas 5:15.4] and the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven....[Mark 9:23.12] And Jesus said to him, "If you can! All things are possible to him who believes."
...there may come a time in your life, when you fall into a sinful life style...you will know it...and it will confound your faith and your prayers...to the point where, in shame you do not feel worthy to call on the name of the Lord...then you will reach out, no one near, no one caring...who will you ask to pray for you?...then you can go to Mary...and find mom there waiting and listening intently...she will tap Jesus on the shoulder, and say, have mercy Son...this one needs you...
...God lives in Eternity and is trans-dimensional...He has no beginning or end because He operates in dimensions adjacent and invisible to our own...Time is one of the 4 dimensions visible to us (length, width, height, and time)...Eternity is: another dimension of reality, not visible to us...
...in most languages you find God's name as a variation of the word "BE" - as in "to be"...and "AM" - as in "I AM"...
YHVH is pronounced Yahveh and Yihvah. Jivah = "female tongue,
fire, and life" in Sanskrit. Ge = "live" in
Sanskrit. Those who worship Ge/Gaia say it
means "earth". I believe the intention of the name
is - Earth as in ALL THAT EXSISTS - Existent
- the TRUTH, fact, reality. In Hebrew it is - Yah
= "existent" (Yah same as Yes). "Ge" is approximately
the same as "Ju". "Ge" is the short
form of Gaia - Mother Earth/Mother Nature.
Wisdom in scripture is consistently referred to as
female. A child lives a happy healthy life
if he listens and obeys mom, as read in Proverbs. Ju =
"union" in Sanskrit. This is intercourse -
intimate communication that brings and results in life.
This is the Word of God. This is Jesus, the
Truth.
...Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood...and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins...[Heb 9:22.14]...And have you forgotten the exhortation which addresses you as sons?--"My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor lose courage when you are punished by him...For the Lord disciplines him whom he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives."..[Heb 12:5,6]...
OBEY GOD: Bad Fruit, Bad Behavior
[John 14:15]...the Lord Jesus said..."If you love me, you will keep my commandments."...[Rom 13:10] Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law...
...Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap...For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption; but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life...[Gal 6:7-8]
...You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles?...So, every sound tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears evil fruit...A sound tree cannot bear evil fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit...Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire...Thus you will know them by their fruits..."Not every one who says to me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven...On that day many will say to me, `Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?'...And then will I declare to them, `I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers.'...[Mat 7:16-23]
[1Cor 13:2.19] And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
...love is real...God is love...God is real...real simple...simple enough for a child to understand...complex enough that Einstein could not understand...and where true love is...there is Heaven...the love of the world and sin puts you in chains...forever...the love of God in Christ Jesus sets you free...forever...
...Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful;...it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;...it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right...Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things...LOVE NEVER FAILS; as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away...[1Cor 13:4-8]
...love is the main point of scripture...to ignore it is death...because...Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses...[Prov 10:12]
...love is the fire which burns...forever...in the end...we will all go through the fire...and the fire will know it's own...that which is not one with the fire...will burn...forever...[Deut 4:24.9] For the LORD your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God...
...When you make friends with fire...it keeps you warm...it cooks your food...it gives you light in the darkness...it defends you and keeps the beast away... ...If you handle fire in a foolish way...not treating it with fear and respect...even a little spark...will burn you, and all of your possessions... ...If you turn your back on fire...you will be cold...you will be in the dark...you will not be able to cook your food...and you will be at the mercy of the beast - who has no mercy... ...God is Love - 1 John 4:8...God is a consuming fire - Heb 12:29...
...this is what 'love one another' means...'forgive one another'...Matthew 18:35...My heavenly Father will also do the same to you, if each of you does not forgive his brother from [1]your heart...Luke 17:3...Be on your guard! *If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him...
...love is a deep longing in your heart to be one with the object of your devotion...
...Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior...I am a believer in the Lord...with my mind and heart set on Christ...I stuck with 'once saved always saved' for awhile...but those verses kept nagging at me (Heb 6 & 10)...then I saw...'osas' as wishful thinking...and ignoring those verses that do not agree with it...was not correct...once I tossed 'osas'...a whole lot of scripture started to make sense...where as before...I had to skip it...now I can accept it...and it forces me ever closer to Christ...Hallelujah!!...
[1Tim 3:5] for if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how can he care for God's church?...[1Tim 3:6] He must not be a recent convert, or he may be puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil;...[1Tim 3:7] moreover he must be well thought of by outsiders, or he may fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
...tell me something good that has happened to you today...
the Lord be with you:
...Dominus Vobiscum...In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus
Sancti, Amen...
glory be:
...Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto, Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen
...but by the grace of God, I am who I am...you are a precious creature...a jewel in God's eye...words cannot express...how beautiful you truly are...in Christ...
...the Word of God is a mirror...it reflects the condition of your soul...if the Word of God offends you...you need to repent and seek forgiveness of your sins...Jesus will not offend you if your heart is pure...you get what you give...
...reflections in a mirror...the judgments we make are based on our own guitl/bitterness...you judgment of scripture is based on your own sins...that is why it offends you...if you were free...it would not offend you...
...the way to get off of addictions and stay off...is to endeavor to focus your inner eye on Jesus all the time...when temptation comes fight it by saying ...Praise the Lord...
...I speak from the voice of experience...I've been around the world...I have 4 children...I've been laid off 3 times in the past 5 years...life has taught me these things...I am big and strong...can bend 20 penny nails...have multiple advanced degrees...a good size family...gone to many places...seen many things...
[Prov 28:13.3] He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.
[Jas 5:16.2] Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power in its effects.
[John 8:24] I told you that you would die in your sins, for you will die in your sins unless you believe that I AM He."
[Isaiah 43:11-13] "I, even I, am the LORD, And there is no savior besides Me..."It is I who have declared and saved and proclaimed, And there was no strange god among you; So you are My witnesses," declares the LORD, "And I am God..."Even from eternity I am He, And there is none who can deliver out of My hand; I act and who can reverse it?"
...there is a way of seeing this...you need to understand...Jesus knew they would worship Him...and He said: unless you believe i am HE (God), you will die in your sins...Jesus knew, if people worshipped Him as anything less than THE GOD...they would be commiting idolitry...so, if you are going to worship Jesus, you must call Him Lord...because anything less is idolitry...comprende?...
[Acts 16:30] What must I do to be saved?
[Acts 16:31] Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.
[Rom 10:9] because, if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
The Spirit of God healed the people of poisonous snake bites by having them focus on the brass serpent on a pole. In the same way the Spirit of God will heal you of the poison of sin by focusing on the Crucified Christ. All things are possible to him who believes.
[Num 21:8] And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.[Num 21:9.5] And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.[John 3:14] And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up,[John 3:15] that whoever believes in him may have eternal life."
[Num 24:5] how fair are your tents, O Jacob, your encampments, O Israel!
[Num 24:9] He couched, he lay down like a lion, and like a lioness; who will rouse him up? Blessed be every one who blesses you, and cursed be every one who curses you."
[Mat 2:1] Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying,
[Mat 2:2] "Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and have come to worship him."
[Mat 27:11] Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus said, "You have said so."
...the devil is God's pet dragon... [Job 41:5.16] Will you play with him as with a bird, or will you put him on leash for your maidens? ...why would any body worship a pet?...
...the devil and his cohorts come in to confuse and abuse...
[Luke 6:28.3] bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.
...the only good and holy God blessed sex is between a husband and wife in marriage...all other sex is sinful...
...look and analyze the human body...see...certain parts were designed for specific functions...when a part is not used according to design...it is not true...and not following the purpose it was designed for...same sex sex is not true to the way of the universe which designed it...being false, it is sin...that which violates the way of the universe...
...Jesus is all we need...The whole purpose in all of this is TOTAL reliance on God...Keep your focus on Jesus and obey the commandments of God...When you sin, confess it in the name of the Lord...Keep your conscience clean...Pray constantly...Do these things, and you can't go wrong...[John 15:10]...If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love...[John 15:11] These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full...[John 15:12] "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you...[Mat 24:13.9] But he who endures to the end will be saved...
...faith is an empty cup...the Lord wants us to fill it with good works...otherwise...the cup will be thrown in the fire...[Acts 26:20.29] but declared both to them of Damascus first and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judaea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance...[Jas 2:17] 17 Even so faith without works is dead...[Jas 2:20] Do you want to be shown, you shallow man, that faith apart from works is barren? [Jas 2:21] Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he offered his son Isaac upon the altar? [Jas 2:22] You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by works,
...God bless you!!...Jesus loves you!!...
...may the Lord richly bless you...in the Name of the Father...and the Son...and the Holy Spirit...Hallelujah!...Amen!...
bye bye...The Secret of Happiness: Praise the Lord in ALL circumstances...[1Thess 5:18] give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you...[Heb 13:15] By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

...Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!...Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!...Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!...While God is marching on...
...how do I love thee? let me count the ways...I love thee to the depth and breadth and height...my soul can reach, when feeling out of sight...for the ends of being and ideal grace...I love thee to the level of everyday's...most quite need, by sun and candle-light,..i love thee freely, as men strive for right;..i love thee purely, as they turn from praise...I love thee with the passion put to use...in my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith...I love thee with a love I seemed to lose...with my lost saints--I love thee with the breath,..smiles, tears, of all my life!--and, if God choose,..i shall but love thee better after death...
[1Kgs 19:12.20]...and after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.
...look up to the sky...reach out with your heart...let the grand beauty and love of the galaxies touch your heart...God is there...

...understand...that where there is grand beauty...there is a grand design...and the ability to comprehend that design and beauty is awesome...God is WONDERFUL...open your heart...and see...
[Ephesians 4:32] Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ, God forgave you.
