The Idolatry of pagan customs X mas

December 5, 2019 re: 2020

PREACH THE WORD 

Isaiah 58 King James Version (KJV)

"58 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins."

The spirit of Christmas is not the spirit of God or truth. A lie can never be truth and when we say these things as written in the gospel we don't say it out of hate or wanting to spoil peoples fun as I see/know as deception. We know mans thoughts are not God's thoughts. A little leaven leavens the whole lump.

Some say. "Dont worry God understands." Yes that he will send idol worshippers to hell that rejects his word and keep their own traditions making to none effect the word of God. Repent and believe in the gospel. The lord commands touch not pagan religion.   (Cor 6:14-18).

1 Samuel 15 22-26

"22 And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. 23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king. 24 And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice. 25 Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the Lord.  26 And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord hath rejected thee from being king over Israel."

Acts 17:11
"11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so."

LUKE 12.53
 "53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law."

My thought is Jesus Christ came to divide as he said himself. People talk about all these gospels but they add & subtract from the real gospel. Christ said the division is there.  Yes, I know everything has been nailed to the cross and now we are not under the law so we can break Gods laws. We are under a new covenant and you can make provisions to find a way and excuse to a break Gods laws as you are not better than the Pharisees who did the same. Hell will be no picnic as it will be eternal separation from God unless you repent of your pagan idolatry. Hell enlarges herself. You will cry legalistic which you use as an excuse to over-ride the commandments of God and Christ's own words that you hold unto your own tradition making to none effect the word of God.

Christmas is no doubt a pagan holiday and the bible condemns it. If you say/think yourselves to be a TRUE Christians and you say/think because we are not under the law but grace and we are just celebrating Christ’s/baby Jesus birthday you are not telling the truth as December 25 is not his birthday. Let me ask you? What year? Are you certain? We know as fact it is not December 25 regardless. We know the devil was a lair from the beginning and you are participating in a pagan festival and given heed to doctrine's of demons. Mr. Claus is a pagan myth which is a lie teaching children lies and he seems to have the same attributes of God which is sin of course. So I direct you to some links about this issue below. It is spiritual Idolatry without question. We know the spirit of Anti-Christ is “already” in the world. 2 Corinthians11:4 We also know another gospel and Jesus Christ that no Angel preached is being preached unto the world. The Angel you put on top of the tree is idolatry. The tree and its decorations are nothing more than idols and cannot represent the true despised and rejected messiah that paid for the sins of the world with his own blood. You were “purchased” with a great price and reprobates are lost. Who are you “really” worshiping? The devil is ”very” clever as the WORLD is greatly deceived!

Here is a video about Christ's birth!

A couple of important scriptures on pagan celebrations concerning Gods commandments and word. Liars are not of the truth. 

(1) The LORD condemns doing anything under green trees in His worship. (Deut 12:1-4). 

(2) The LORD commands us to separate from/not touch pagan religion  (II Cor 6:14-18).

Jesus Christ being the suffering messiah that is now risen was born most likely sometime from March to October. The bible does not tell us to celebrate his birthday. In fact there are a host of biblical verses about the error and pagan customs of people which are vain and none biblical. God warns about steeling his glory and having other God's before HIM! Idolatry is idolatry and it is SIN and will lead you to hell. 

The pasture Justine Peters whom is a true Christian teacher wrote an article on Christmas and about Santa Claus. Go read Christmas and Santa and it's very interesting. We might not be under the law but it makes sense in a profound way and he backs it up with scripture.  

Here is one link :Santa Pause - Justine Peters And you will find Santa Pause a biblical perspective here by Justin Peters.

John 8:44 King James Version (KJV)

^"44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it." Shall we continue to lie to children and deceive ourselves. " 

God says in his word the customs of the people are vain and learn not the way of the heathen.  Jeremiah 10:2-4

Meet the true God of the world which has great relations with Satin. You who break Gods laws serve two masters. Deceived you are. Christ chased the money changers out of the temple. He is risen and overcame the world and sits at the right hand of the father. He is no longer a baby. He is feared by demons but many today don't fear God. They will when judgment comes do unless you repent and believe in the gospel. 

First of all Christmas is a time that merchants make money off merchandiser, a false pagan holiday which is a lie as the Messiah wasn't born on that day and we know it is a sin to keep pagan holidays from pagan sources. Revelation speaks about the merchants who will cry in revelation 18 when God brings his judgement on the harlot of revelation 17.  Also you can't par-take in the table of the Lord & the table of demons. This world full well should know it holds its own traditions making to none effect the word of the living God. You should be cautioned about the great day of the Lord that's coming and God is not mocked. Read Revelation 18 9-15/HERE I know we are not under the law but do we really love the lord if we disobey him. There are Christians that don't keep pagan holidays. You are in essence disobeying the true God of the bible and the only true God there exists. Satan is being worshipped by deceiving the world. Hell will be full of idol worshippers. You either love the truth or you make piece with the devil. Christ came to distroy the works of the devil. Pagans and idol worshippers give the devil support.

See the video as Christ said blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. 

God says in his word that he sent some people taking part in pagan celebrations and pagan religion whom are idol worshipper’s strong delusion that they may believe the lie. He said their conscience has been seared as with a hot iron. Think of taking an iron and cutting a wire by melting it. It is as if part of their brain that would have spiritual discernment is missing now. Almost like somebody who has dementia or memory loss. Reaching them is next to impossible as God says in his word they have deprived minds. They close their minds to preaching and they don't love the truth as God says they are lovers of falsehood.  They are considered lost and he warns them that they are partakers of the sinful process and he warns them to come out of it and touch not the unclean thing. And in all honesty they have been lied to of whom the true person of Jesus Christ really is. This is achieved by using cultist techniques. As I said before it's hard to talk to the wall who refuses to listen but God has warned people about judgement day. He said there will be crying and gnashing of teeth. You know Christ told the Pharisees they don't enter and neither do you let others enter. It's the same thing here they don't enter because they've been lied to by false teachers. They don’t live nor follow truth. And they believe the lies. The word of God tells us so with mind boggling accuracy. 

And as Christ told The Pharisees others do the same. Read Mark 7: 5-15 HERE. Yes, God knows whom obeys and whom does evil before the lord.

Thanks Bryan. Well done! & Said


I like the way Bryan explained whom Christ is and the scriptures he quoted. The way is very NARROW. The world is on the broad path to destruction and deceived GREATLY. I don't particularly like to condemn everything though but I like to acknowledge the biblical truth. Christ is the life too. Pray for the lost!!! 

Now I've come across some other comments that are relevant and impressive. 2020

The Unknown God Of Christmas

Bless  Bryan

Now ever since this blog has been done I’ve come across a video by pasture Justin Peters speaking on this particularly same issue. I realize Bryan above talks about the unknown god of Christmas. He does say he’s not telling people they can’t celebrate it. I particularly think it is sin and from what is written in the Bible it is written prove all things by searching scripture. It also tells us the bereans searched the scriptures to distinguish what was false and or true. Simply pagan idolatry. Justine explained it well. 

 

Footnotes : God exiled the Jewish people two times because they disobeyec him. 400 years and 50-70 + years. Are we any better being lead in idolatry and spiritual fornication.

Children of the devil

December 7/2019

Does the devil really have children? Yes! So who are they? They are NOT the children of God. In other words they are not born again by the spirit of God or follow the true biblical Jewish Jesus Christ. Many are none believers/Atheists and others are children of those in the world. The power of the gospel can reach them hopefully! There are many people closer to the devil than the true and one holy God of Israel and the bible. What does the bible say about the children of God. Read HERE.

Every liar will have their part in the lake of fire. Revelation 21:8 1 John 3: 1-10 Yes there was a fall and the serpent beguiled Eve. Before the foundations of the earth were laid "I am" already had a plan for the Savior of the world to be born in Bethlehem and to be the Savior of the world. The Bible says he knew us even before we were born. Go ponder that one. The devil is the Prince of the air and a father of all lies as the Bible tells us he was a liar from the beginning and even a murder. The Bible tells us we could murder people with our speech and we will give God an account for every idle word ever spoken on earth in the flesh on judgement Day. Mathew 12.36 

HORRIBLE TIMES: So many people take the name of God in vain. O.M.G, as you know or that taking a name of God in- vain regardless if it be God's title even his memorial name or the name of Jesus is serious sin. Many people blaspheme the name of the Lord's anointed name. Or they might take Christ's name including his anointed name in vain. I see this in movies,  in television shows, and the workplace and among family members. The word of God says he will not let it go without punishment. I think one of the greatest irritants is being deceived, not loving the truth, having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof. 2 Timothy 3:5  In essence to live deceived, to live a lie and not to love the gospel truth. As they say the devil had the audacity to temp the son of the living God. The other irritant is to know the gospel truth, to know it is truth as the word of God is truth, and to know the reprobates are exactly as God describes them to be. I myself was lost once and found. It could not have been by my own hand but it was by God, his word and perhaps people's prayers that I came to understand the gospel truth, and I'm able to see the spiritual truth. This is not alone by my own doing but by God's guidance & spirit that I have a thirst & hunger for the gospel truth coupled with his righteousness. We cannot lean on our own understanding. 

The problem in life is when people are carnally minded just as the Bible says they are and reprobates have a deprived mind & they are lost. Such reprobates God considers unbelievers even though they see themselves as believers. They are lost in deception. Glory goes to the son of the living God as the Bible says God searches the heart and nothing is hidden from him. Christ said choose life not death. He said you cannot serve two masters being money and God. Why did he say this? He said this because he knew that there were people in his day following him because they wanted to see miracles but many of these people weren't interested in spiritual change/truth. He said "Satan is the father of lies and he was a murderer from the beginning." Can you understand the SHOCK and perplexity of this statement?? How can one digest this? Is it TRUE? YES!!!!!  

Just as today many people cannot and do not deny themselves as they don't love the truth, as they live deceived and they don't honor God in spirit and in truth. The Bible tells us whatever masters you will be your master. Many peoples master is deception, falsehood including ignorance that binds/blinds them in many regards. If you follow the world and you are like the world and you are one with the world, you rejoice with the world then you are not for God but against him. When this happens you have become God's enemy. No wonder on judgement Day so many will hear "I never knew you, get away from me you workers of iniquity." They just don't see. You could say that they are blind as a bat. I know the shocking truth of this biblical line "The world loves its own". What does that mean? The world loves those who partake in sins with it. Those who look and act like it. Those who are for it.  You could say ignorance is their blindness as they are partakers in an ocean of sins/deception because that is what it really is. This is why the Bible tells us you must come out of the world and deny yourself. There is so many professing to know the lord Jesus Christ and they conveniently transgress the laws of God and follow counterfeit as they refuse to accept and live the biblical truth.  They are reprobates and God gave them over to a depraved mind as the Bible tells us. They are blind and they can't decipher spiritual or biblical truth. The Bible puts it bluntly and plainly that they are not of the truth and the truth is not with them. But the great thing is the word of God has the power to deliver them out of bondage, out of slavery and out of their sins and to the light that men reject. But that word has to be preached among wolves as God tells us to have any effect at all. The way God puts it in his word is that some people have a hardened heart. They hardened their Hearts. It's hard to speak to the wall that doesn't want to listen. You see on judgement Day when many forfeit their souls because they didn't love/Live the truth but they loved all the defilement's and all the sinful pleasures of the world as they ignored the sacrifice of a Jewish biblical Risen Messiah, a Jewish biblical savior paid with his own blood on a Roman cross they choose not to obey. To be blunt about it people love play and people love pleasure. If you don't believe it look at the abortion rate and the murder rate. When people say she/he is GOOD is this the way God see's peoples hearts? There are children of the devil as God cannot be wrong. 

If people worship God in vain keeping a doctrine of men being traditions of men how can that be of God. Do you really think things have changed? Christ was perfect and he did not do as they did. How does this relate to children of the devil? A little leaven leavens the whole lump. A little sin as small as a grain of salt stains the heart/The soul and there is a way that is appealing to people being children, teens, young adults, middle age people and old people but is it the way of the lord. NO The world is DECEIVED just as written and it LOVES ITS OWN. 

Read Mark 7 5-13 HERE so you can understand what God likes and does not like.

Young men love sports cars , toys and women but they don't love the biblical truth nor do many live it. They love hobbies and the movies but not God. Christ called the Bible being the word of God The Good News gospel. He said repent and believe on the gospel. He also said if you abide in my word then you will be my disciples. The Bible says to be a doer of the word. The Apostle Paul said that he finished the good fight. When Jesus died on the cross he said it is finished. We could either be slaves to error and slaves to sin, slaves to deception or we could love the truth and live the truth and honor God in spirit and in truth. Christ said he knows his sheep and that they listen and obey him and that the ways of the world are not his ways. Who is your master? Do you live a lie or the truth? There could only be one truth. The devils come preaching another Jesus and another gospel. Beware!!! 

 Ephesians 4:4-6  (KJV) "⁴ There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; ⁵ One Lord, one faith, one baptism, ⁶ One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all."

1 Peter 5 8 -9. (KJV)
"5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. 6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:"

 John 3:16 as it states whoever believes in Christ could have eternal life through him as he is the savior of the world but many people profess to know him but they've been sold counterfeit. They are blind. Can you be in the world and all its lustful deceptions and say you believe and obey the Lord. What I'm saying is can you partake in the table of the lord and the table of demons as the Bible puts it. You can't serve two masters. You see it's impossible. God clearly distinguishes it in his word and he makes known what is an abomination to him. Christ did the same when he said you will keep your own traditions making to none effect the word of God which is a two edge sword.

GOD would have it that none perish but that word needs to be preached.

Acts 26:18  (KJV)

^"18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me."

You see when you live a lie and you don't love the truth the devil has you in his back pocket. Why? Because he is the father of lies and you are siding with him instead of with the biblical lord Jesus Christ. When you can't obey the Lord and his Commandments you are not abiding in him. When you have believed in vain you live deceived and as the Bible tells us Satan comes to steal that seed right away from you. This is why Jesus told the rich young ruler to sell everything and give the money to the poor then to pick up his cross and follow him. There is a cross to bear for truth and holiness and it's rejected as the real true Jewish biblical Jesus Christ was rejected too. This world is greatly deceived. 

Many people have a negative view of the Gospel despite living in a democracy where that word/that book is available to them. They might have it collecting dust on a shelf and they don't care what's written in it. They don't study it nor read it. They care more about following all the illusion filled, vanity infested membership and cunning ways of the world. No wonder on judgement Day the Lord Jesus Christ will tell many that he never knew them. Mathew 7:21-23 The Bible says the truth can set you free. Satan is the father of lies and he is not the father of Truth. The love of God is not a carnal love of men. The Bible tells us that light came into the world and Men loved darkness. Only the truth can set you free but you got to love the truth. The word of God is a living inspired word and it can set you free but you got to take interest in reading it and understanding it. Salvation is of the Lord. Psalm 3:8 Do you know the God of the bible? Please seek HIM. Repent and believe on the gospel. In retrospect it is apparent that some people actually care more about cleaning their house but not about the biblical truth regarding cleaning their soul by repentance and acceptance of biblical truth. People that say or profess that they are believers then act violently when they were read scripture or told the truth are seriously lost. If they loved the truth wouldn't that make them feel pleased?

Paganism, holiness and abominations

November 18, 2019 10:49 pm

We are told in the end days 2 Timothy 4:3 people will not heed sound doctrine as they will have itchy ears. We are also told in scripture Galatians 1:8 that another Jesus Christ is being preached unto the world that no Angel in heaven ever preached. We know what the bible calls Abominations and scripture tell us God hates the way of Balm in 2 Peter 2:15. So with this in mind I wonder if it is possible to be holy as Christ said in the sermon on the mount be perfect as your father in heaven is perfect. We know we have to lean on his righteousness. Christ told Nicodemus unless a man is born again he will not see the Kingdom of God. We also know that what man highly as-teems God says in an Abomination to him as he thinks not as man does. His thoughts are higher than humans. In this I ponder as others in biblical Christianity have for years and here is a little of what was found/pondered. A few questions and some scripture.


Is being holy even possible, since only God is holy? This is a very GOOD question and an interesting one. Without research and before reading about it I will give you my thoughts. Christ said there is not even one good but we know there were biblical holy men such as Moses, the prophets and Apostles.   But a truly holy prophet was Elijah. I think we can be holy depending on our commitment, calling and application. But you must be born again and have your heart right with God. You must give your life to Christ.  That means no swearing and the thoughts must be on doing Gods will and not yours. You MUST be a true believer too. I know easier said then done. Now lets read about this. Well I was close.

ANSWER: " Holiness is not only a possibility for the Christian; holiness is a requirement. “Without holiness no one will see the Lord” (Hebrews 12:14)."  
Read HERE - Being-holy

Paganism and Christ! Very controversial subject!  What is the truth? Christ said before Abraham was he and the father are one. As in Genesis "In the beginning God" The Logos. Christ is not a pagan deity at all and he is real/risen but he is the Jewish biblical Christ. We wrestle with a demonic world that wants to throw people off so to take that seed away as you will not be saved. As written in scripture every liar will have their part in the lake of fire. (I wonder why?) God is perfect and holy. We are told there would be a great falling away in the end days and there would be false teachings by demons. Recently, I reviewed Jesus Of Nazareth and Christ in that movie said there is room even for pagans at his fathers table. I did research of the maker of that film and what he believed. He passed away. I cannot find such in the word of God that Christ said that. People from any faith can come to him but they need to repent and believe on the gospel.  In my search I came up with a very interesting link. Go read the link article and what it tells me is that so many people are deceived and into spirituality and lost. And even they know about the other faith called Christian religion mixed with paganism and where it came from. SEE: Jesus for Pagans. 

See the image below that is the biblical truth. 

We know about Mystery Babylon the great and revelation 17 in scripture reveals a great deal including Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream and how David explained to the King what the dream meant about the end times. 

So in this coupled with prayer and what comes forth here is the latest bible verse that presented its self lately when I opened the bible. Funny cause what I was pondering is what presented its self.

Isaiah 41:21-29 King James Version

 

See God is a sovereign holy and a perfect God. Even Apostle Paul was concerned with people and their many Gods and Idols. So God is basically saying "29 Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion." There is such a thing as spiritual fornication and if you believe not ask people who got involved in the ac-ult and found Jesus Christ. The bible tells us such things are an abomination and people are not to seek mediums and such but people don't listen. Not saying everyone but it is good to know what these things are and stay close to Christ/God. 

If you believe in a Christ minus the POWER of GOD boy are you deceived. You realize when Moses staff turned into a snake so did Pharaohs team do the same. Moses staff ate the devils counterfeit snakes. God created hell and he reserved hell for fallen Angels and Satin. See the Ac-ult is REAL? As Satin and that dark world we cannot see is evident in UFO'S and Demonic s. Christ was aware of this and he understood much. The bible tells us.   Ephesians 6:12  (KJV) "12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." How many people are aware Satin is a roaring lion looking for those he can devour. The bible tells us draw close to God and he will draw close to us. The lord Jesus Christ did say for those who have ear to hear let them hear. You cannot serve two masters. 

In 2 Timothy 4.4 it is basically written "Preach the Word  For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. 4 So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths . 5 But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry."  

In modern times people have many idols and many excuses for disobeying the gospel/God and his word.  God create hell for a reason :  

Wake Up!  READ  Warning HELL IS REAL!!!!

Receive ye the Holy Ghost

November 8, 2019 7:21 pm

Today we give thanks to the "mighty" lord of lords and King of the lord Kings Jesus Christ whom is "Truly" the lamb that takes away the sins of the world, and the true messiah that was foretold to be a suffering rejected servant/messiah. He "IS" whom he said he was. So the reading of the gospel being the written word of God. Here are three important passages in scripture. Read the word of God. Praise the lord! 

"For He grew up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground He hath no form nor comeliness; and when we see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him.3. He was despised, and rejected of men, a Man of Sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and as one from whom men hide their face He was despised, and we esteemed Him not."

 ISAIAH liii, 2, 3.

Psalm 3 King James Version (KJV)

3 Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
² Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
³ But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
⁴ I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
⁵ I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.
⁶ I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
⁷ Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
⁸ Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.

WORDS OF TRUTH

Ecclesiastes 12:9-11 King James Version (KJV)

⁹ And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
¹⁰ The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.
¹¹ The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.

King James Version (KJV)

John 20:19-29 King James Version (KJV)

¹⁹ Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
²⁰ And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
²¹ Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
²² And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
²³ Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
²⁴ But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
²⁵ The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
²⁶ And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
²⁷ Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
²⁸ And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
²⁹ Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

King James Version (KJV)

SUMMARY

In the passages above we have faith in God as the person who's enemies were mounting/great took refuge in the lord. As the lord is a shield to those who take refuge in him. We have the wise preacher who carefully chose his words as written "The preacher sought to find out acceptable words". As written "Salvation belongeth unto the Lord". To God and not carnal sinful man. We have Jesus appearing unto the disciples and he showed them his hands & side and doubting "Thomas believed." He was risen from the dead. He breaths on them "Christ" and gives them the holy spirit and tells them/instructed them whomever they forgive their sins "remit" their sins are remitted and whomever are retained are retained. Just as Christ once instructed the Apostles/his disciples to go preach the word of God/the Gospel and shake off the dust off your shoes as written in the gospel when you go house to house preaching the gospel to those who appose/reject the gospel. We can pray for them but by the preaching/hearing of the word did men/woman come to faith. In the beginning was the word. The logos !! Christ is the word of God who became flesh and dwelt among us. You are saved by faith alone. It is a free gift that no man can boast. Abraham had GREAT faith. He believed and it was credit to him as righteousness.. 

Christ had no beauty that people should be attracted by vanity. All is vanity said the preacher. He had no form nor comeliness that would attract people to him yet he had large crowds that followed him/gathered and made him a threat to the Sanhedrin (Jewish) religious leaders of his day. And even to the King of his day. Yet he was sinless and he knew that people wanted miracles but most wanted to retain their sins and would fall away. The woman at Jacobs well even though she was a Samaritan he accepted her. Even though she was remarried and lived in sin he accepted her. He will accept you but you must repent and believe on the gospel. Really believing is not the same as believing. You cannot deny the POWER of GOD. Christ said people who believe without seeing him are blessed. There were great prophets that had never seen him and believed. 

Sin leads to spiritual death and sometimes physical death. We are told to chose life and not death. Let me make it clear to you that HELL is REAL! If you die in your sins YOU WILL PERISH. To believer on the lord takes faith. You have to make a choice.  You have to be willing to carry your cross. He is REAL! Its time to know the God of the bible and the written word of the lord. The devil comes and steals that seed right away. Did you know "unbelief" is said to be a sin!!!! Turn to the God of the bible and get saved! Do it ASAP!

In John 16:12-14 King James Version is is written: "12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you." 

Many don't have ears to hear. The truth of God may be overwhelming even to the elect of Christ's day. If you don't know Christ you are LOST and missing out on something greater than you can ever know. I urge and challenge you to seek God and his word. To put your faith and trust in the God of the bible. May the lord open your eyes. Amen

A NOTE:

This could actually be a separate blog.

 This blog has been about the reading of chosen in scripture passages  and about the holy ghost/spirit. Notice it is written "He Shall" (The holy ghost)  and that he will shew you things to come. He is the spirit of truth. Christ had many things to say to his Disciples/Apostles but they could not bear them then just as some of us cannot bear them now. They may be hard to understand or comprehend but in all do seriousness some people have been given the gift of prophecy and understanding. Recently, I was looking at the 1000 year millennium rain which occurs when Christ comes back and it appear to be on the present earth. Only after that will the old earth and heavens melt away with a great fervent heat and the new heavens and earth come into existence.   Those who doubt this doubt God's holiness and POWER. The world is already full of such evil and sin so when will these things be? A question many people ask. A question that was asked to Christ himself! The important question is are you saved and ready as Christ said the things to come such as that great day of the lord will come suddenly and unexpected like a thief in the night. May be referring to the rapture as well. The other thing is such things may appears as foolishness to those perishing.  By the things made we know God is REAL. He wrote his laws on our hearts. We are WITHOUT excuse.

Look God loves you dearly as he sent his only begotten son to die on the cross so you could be forgiven your sins as he is the lamb that takes away the sins of the world. Please watch the testimonies about him. Many do not know him.
