Christianity 101- 2016

God’s Plan for Mankind -HOPE  and FELLOWSHIP THROUGH SALVATION:

“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.” (1 Timothy 4:1)
Christians should not be taken by surprise at the vast eruption of witchcraft, New Age mysticism, Eastern occultism, rock-music demon worship, drug-induced fantasies, altered states of consciousness, and even overt Satan-worshiping cults that have suddenly proliferated in our supposedly scientific and naturalistic society. Behind it all are the “seducing spirits” and “the rulers of the darkness of this world” (Ephesians). So do not be surprised by this spirit of tolerance and blind faith in things that we once considered anti-family, sick, devious, and disturbing. Transgenderism, S&M, and other sexual aberrations are all part of this new age of acceptance and deviation. Where poverty is fostering drug resistant gonorrhea, TB, and flesh eating bacterium, affluency is is cultivating its own version of soul destroying disease.
The West is falling into a cultural black hole that will draw the wrath of those who see these aberrations as decadent and evil . This is the irony of the whole Western mentality of social humanism. We think that our progressive humanitarian efforts and liberal tolerance will change the world for the better. How foolish! Most of the world, including South America and Africa, think that we have opened up a Pandora’s box of compromise and tolerance that will hurt them and their children. The Islamist and other militant fundamentalists believe that we have gone to bed with the devil and consort to spread wickedness and vile thinking. Other countries such as Russia have taken the measure of criminalizing these sexual behaviors and have also banned any religion that they consider to be a cult. This includes the Jehovah Witnesses and Mormons. We in turn have condemned this action as being undemocratic and intolerant. So who do you think is right? Frankly this very issue could be what ignites the next war.

Note that God is at work at this very instance bringing souls into his kingdom. The irony of this whole matter is that God often uses “evil kings” and “evil forces” to bring about his will.  Just as he did with Israel, Judah, Babylon, and Persia he will bring the mix together to produce a remnant that will purified by the test of trial.  We have our own “evil king” and “evil forces of the air” that are polluting the brains and hearts of our young.   So how long will God allow these forces to grow without a climatic ending.  He wants to save the lost and just as he allowed the destruction of Babylon, Persia, the rebellious Israel, and the idolatrous Judah, He will allow America to fall.   Three powerful triggers are ready to be pulled: 1) North Korea is one command away from setting off a major nuclear war 2) Iran is sophisticated enough to launch an intercontinental missile-satellite our way 3) ISIS, Hezbollah, and other very crazy folks along with the Chinese smuggling networks are ready to suck the life out of our country by subterfuge and terrorism.   Along with  these are the Satanic forces of evil which in the time of Jesus were effective and content possessing  individuals.  Now these same demons are occupied with much more strategic and devious plans – controlling the population with media, music, drugs, and lies of every kind and form.

The Truth is this: God created a Universe that was good in every facet. Even the angels were good. But God gave both the angels and man the right to choose and hence the ability to think and decide right from wrong. Lucifer, who commanded 1/3 of the angels, chose to defy the authority of God and was cast from heaven. He then deceived Eve and Adam into thinking that God had said something other than what He said, leading them on to disobey God’s command not to eat of the fruit of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.  Some suggest that Adam and Eve were in direct violation of God’s will because they defiantly wanted to have more knowledge and the freedom to choose.    So they ate and become fully flesh and knowledgeable of their own nakedness and sin.  Yet God in His infinite Love and Mercy provided a covering for both Adam and Eve….in front of them He took an innocent lamb and slew it in order to cover them.

This was done Outside of the Garden that God had given them; and may have been done on a special rock. The next sacrifice would be prepared by man. Abel, who was born first would learn how to make this sacrifice on a yearly basis- probably at the same place where the Lord had made His sacrifice. This sacrifice of blood was commanded by God -and Cain, the next son, chose to disobey it. He killed Abel in defiance of God’s order (does this sound familiar?) Adam and Eve had been commanded to replenish the earth and multiply and so they did….until evil again raised its ugly head.
The families of Cain (whom God cursed yet protected from being murdered) had been told not to intermarry with the families of Abel. They disobeyed and Giants came unto the land and more evil was conceived. So much evil filled the land that God could find only one righteous family, the family of Noah. In order to cleanse the earth, God generated a world wide eruption and fall of water that covered even the highest hills (the mountains as we have today did not exist- they were created by the drift of continents). So evil and disobedience again was judged and dealt with.

With the replenished earth people multiplied and tried to build a tower that would reach God. Seeing their defiance God changed their languages so that each tribe could speak to the other…..hence they fled into every direction..some crossing snow and ice bridges to the new continents, some using the massive piles of wood left from the flood to cross into areas of Australia…and others built boats and and launched themselves onto the oceans. This is how God established nations and cultures in all the lands. God then chose one man, one family, one tribe, one nation to be His example. He chose Abraham and his son Isaac who had a son named Jacob. Through Jacob came Joseph and the nation that was formed in Egyptian slavery. God delivered the Israelite nation from the hand of Pharaoh and with a pillar of Cloud by day and a pillar of Fire by night He guided them across the desert to the edge of the wilderness at Etham where they encamped. The next day they went south through a mighty gorge to Pi-Hahiroth (which means “mouth of the gorge”, on the Red Sea Exodus 14:2) . Here the Lord parted the deep waters (this large beach area exists today at Nuweiba) and after the 2-3 million Israelites crossed with their animals, God allowed the walls of water to crush the massive Egyptian army that had pursued them. Their chariot wheels and other parts have turned into coral reefs that also betray shapes of the long dissolved bones from men and horses.

God delivered this nation of rebellious and ragged people over a course of 40 years in the wilderness.   The Israelites would eventually defeat all the nations around them, but would fall into rebellion again. God would allow them to go into captivity under the 3 great empires of prophecy: Babylon, Persia, and Greece. Then under the Pax Romana God would bring His Son, the Messiah, and fulfill over 300 prophecies.                                                                                                As promised, Jesus Christ was born from a virgin in Bethlehem of David’s lineage, lived in both Egypt and Nazareth, betrayed by a friend for 30 coins, hands pierced, reviled and spit upon, lots drawn for his clothes, and no bones broken, and then raised on the 3rd day. Just to have these few prophesies fulfilled by one person would be like finding one marked quarter among tight piles of quarters covering the entire state of Texas 3 feet deep!. When Jesus Christ was crucified, then rose on the 3rd day. He broke the Curse of Sin and Death and opened the Door to heaven to any and all who believe in His Name. Jesus himself told us what His name is: Messiah, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, the Lamb of God, Redeemer, the Alpha and Omega, the Resurrection and the Life, Son of Man, Son of God, the Bread of Life, -names that anyone can identify with even back then. So we have no excuse: either Jesus lied about who he was or he was a lunatic? Otherwise Jesus Christ is indeed your Savior and Redeemer and we need to change and seek to know Him and worship Him. By the way His name is not Michael the Archangel as the Jehovah Witnesses  believe. Nor is he the brother of Satan as Mormons believe. Satan who is fallen, and Michael, and Gabriel are Archangels and are not part of the Godhead, nor do they carry the authority of the Godhead. Jesus Christ is, however, fully God and fully man.
John 3:16-18  “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.  Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.”

  1. After looking at a few of the blog posts on your web site,
    I honestly appreciate your technique of writing a blog.
    I bookmarked it to my bookmark webpage list and
    will be checking back soon. Please check out my website as well and let me know how you feel.

  2. 屋根の単体工事を建築会社などに工事を発注しないほうがお利口さんです。何故なら、彼らは家屋を建てるのが本業です。屋根のリフォームなどは、ついでの仕事。建設会社は、メインのビジネスではないのです。工務店は、家を造る為の様々な職人や総務、庶務など事務部署を持っています。それらの経費を賄う為に、大きな物件を扱い、会社を運営しています。　ですから一件の仕事は金額を大きく、儲けの金額もそれなりのものがないと成り立たないんです。　屋根だけの仕事ですと、そのビジネスからいろいろな関係部署の経費を賄うのですから、直に業者に依頼するよりかなり高額な施工費用になってしまうのは避けられないのです。ですから屋根単体の工事は、直に依頼するおが最善なのです

  3. Excellent post. I was checking constantly this blog and I’m
    inspired! Very useful information specifically the ultimate
    phase 🙂 I handle such information a lot. I was looking for
    this particular information for a very lengthy time.
    Thank you and good luck.

  5. I have been browsing on-line greater than three hours today, yet I never discovered any interesting article
    like yours. It is beautiful value enough for me.
    Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made just right content as you did, the internet will be much more useful
    than ever before.

  6. Hi there outstanding blog! Does running a blog like this take a
    lot of work? I have virtually no knowledge of coding but I was
    hoping to start my own blog soon. Anyways, should you have
    any recommendations or techniques for new blog owners please share.
    I understand this is off subject nevertheless I just
    wanted to ask. Thanks a lot!

  7. Hi! I understand this is somewhat off-topic but I had to ask.
    Does operating a well-established blog such as yours take a
    lot of work? I’m brand new to operating a blog however I do write in my journal on a daily basis.
    I’d like to start a blog so I will be able to share my own experience and thoughts online.

    Please let me know if you have any ideas or tips for brand new aspiring blog owners.

    Appreciate it!

  8. You can certainly see your expertise in the article you write.
    The world hopes for more passionate writers like you who aren’t afraid
    to say how they believe. At all times go after your heart.

  10. I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s both equally educative and amusing, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head.
    The problem is something which not enough folks are speaking
    intelligently about. Now i’m very happy I stumbled across
    this during my search for something relating to this.

  14. I happen to be on cattle calls where actors singing
    the weirdest songs are already called back for the following audition, simply because sang it truly
    well. To help your boudoir photo subject relax, ask her
    to take her favorite music for a studio and get involved in it in your shoot.
    Each of these unique dancing has specific steps and options that build it
    totally different from different dances – however there is one
    fact that remains constant throughout every kind of siltation.

  17. I don’t even know how I finished up here, however I believed this post was once great.

    I do not understand who you’re however definitely you are going to a famous blogger in the event you are not

    site, I seriously appreciate your technique of blogging.
    I book-marked it to my bookmark site list and will be checking back soon. Take a look at
    my website too and let me know what you think.

  23. After looking into a handful of the articles on your web site, I
    truly appreciate your technique of blogging. I bookmarked it to my
    bookmark website list and will be checking back soon. Please visit my website too and tell me what you think.

  24. Having read this I thought it was really enlightening.
    I appreciate you spending some time and energy to put this information together.
    I once again find myself spending a significant amount of time
    both reading and posting comments. But so what, it was still worth
    it!

  28. Thanks for one’s marvelous posting! I actually enjoyed reading
    it, you happen to be a great author. I will be sure to bookmark your blog and will often come
    back from now on. I want to encourage you continue your great job, have a nice holiday weekend!

  34. I believe what you posted made a great deal of sense.
    However, consider this, suppose you composed a catchier
    title? I ain’t saying your information isn’t solid, but suppose you added something that grabbed a
    person’s attention? I mean Christianity 101- 2016 –
    My Blog is kinda vanilla. You should look at Yahoo’s front page and
    note how they create article headlines to grab viewers interested.
    You might try adding a video or a related picture or two to get readers excited about everything’ve got
    to say. Just my opinion, it would bring your posts a little bit more interesting.

  44. While the nation’s most comfortable citizens enjoyed investment growth during those years, they failed to create the new jobs
    that Reagan had promised his plan would bring. t go for
    stunning views, high ceiling and spacious office
    spaces as any of these won. The overall mortgage formula used to determine how much you.

  45. I must thank you for the efforts you’ve put in penning this blog.
    I am hoping to view the same high-grade content by you later
    on as well. In truth, your creative writing abilities has inspired
    me to get my very own website now 😉

  47. Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles?

    I mean, what you say is valuable and everything. Nevertheless think about if you added some
    great images or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your
    content is excellent but with images and clips, this site could undeniably be one of the greatest in its field.
    Awesome blog!
