This site is designed help eliminate religious confusion, also to help folks understand what the word Christian means. Jesus says his sheep know his voice and will not follow a stranger, no doubt there are many.

Most believers today have an imagination of Jesus who is a well mannered, nice person to everyone and loves every one despite any evil behavior; this is not true when you learn about Jesus from scripture. Yes he was a nonviolent activist for God, but he did have confrontations with religious leaders on many occasions and so did his followers. It is very easy to see Jesus had a, my way or the highway and some would say arrogant confident Spirit and he can afford to have it, he is Gods one and only Son. This imagination of a never negative nice person can lead to universalisms in many ways

Universalism is a common religion that believes that all religions lead to god; they welcome all forms of religions. It is based on relativism where the belief or assumption is held that truth is relative to ones own belief and or experience.
You can see relativism in statements like “I have my own way of believing in God”, or “my god wouldn’t like that to happen” or “my god loves this and hates that” or my god must be different than your god”.
Universalism and relativism is the source of this type of Idolatry, because it is the creating or forming of a god by the believer of that god. In other words it is worship of a god created by a person and makes no difference whether this god is formed by hands or by the mind except it is not unreasonable to think that God hates the latter most.
Usually the god or idol worshipped is that person’s own self/spirit, who is in control of what that god wants you to believe and do, such as to give god/them your money.

This type of Idolatry is an excuse to justify a selfish lifestyle for many as Jesus points out using the Pharisees as the example when he turned over the money changers tables in the temple.

On the other hand many others believe that this god (formed by their mind) exists to do whatever they want [Like the god called ‘Baal’ used even by sacrificing infants to him to provide good crops (wealth)] seen so often in the Old Testament.

Like wise this god created today by men to do their will in prayer like many so called Christians have created and believe they somehow do not exist to do anything to serve god other than go to church. These folks have told me when I am actively evangelizing to “just pray, let go and let god”, I assume because they believe works will not get you to heaven. My question to them is, will prayer replace our duty to Christ who sends us (in writing) to win souls to him, his way and not our own?

Avoid confusion; The Gospel of Christ will help us overcome our own sinful selfish nature if we hear, believe and obey Jesus over and above any excuse we can find (even in the bible) for a way out of what he teaches and this is why we must make Jesus the lord of our belief over all other scripture. People tend to believe what they want to believe and keep what they want and throw the rest out, to pick and chose what they will believe and that is unacceptable to the spirit of truth offered by Christ because it is all or none. See Matthew 22:37, Luke 10:42 and 11:35-36. How can a person love God with all their heart if they do not even know the God Jesus came to reveal by words and example?

A Selfish lifestyle will also cause a person to avoid making a decision about God altogether. For example while I was evangelizing, I stopped to buy a book and still in evangelism mode, I spoke to a girl who was working in this nation wide bookstore. As I was witnessing to her, she said she preferred to remain in the dark about Christ, because she did not want to feel guilty and I was immediately reminded by the words of Christ; that I was speaking to her vain, when I could be offering the need for the way of Christ to someone else instead. The words that I was reminded of by the Spirit of Christ alive within me and also actively reminding me of the words of Christ as he taught, was as follows - 

John 3:19-20 (KJV)

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

This teaching is true because folks already know that the way of Jesus will not fit into their selfish lifestyles and they will simply refuse to fit their lifestyles into the way of Jesus. Also because those folks like us are creatures that tend to avoid hurt with denial and or hate.

If you take a close look at the word TRUTH and the statement that the truth hurts.

You can clearly see that the main word within the word, TRUtH is the word HURT spelled backward. This is no coincidence because the TRUTH of what Jesus did on the cross for you and me out of love for us is no different and it hurts my heart that Jesus died for my sins, this is also the kind of truth most people will avoid by using denial and a hate for the truth to avoid an admission of a sinful nature.

 Another good example might be when People fall into the trap of believing that who they are in life (class, status), comes from what they have, but Jesus says “Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesses” this truth can hurt this persons belief system which exalts them in their own mind to a higher status in life, and they will not hear it.  

Christianity is ‘anti-universalist’ in the belief that no man goes to God, but by Jesus Christ as the only way.

On the other hand of universalism, you should know that Atheism is also a religion of anti-religion; it is the opposite equal = of religion.
 Atheism has its own creator of all life, which gives this religion its identity and higher purpose in life along with its agenda to convert, just like any other religion; it also crusades to convert the world’s belief.
Atheism’s deity is called Evolution alias Mother Nature and her prophet is Darwin.

This religious belief explains the self righteous hatred for all other beliefs you will notice in them as you would expect from most religious groups.

Like most religions other than universalism, they hate all other religions, other than their own, Even some wiccans call themselves Atheists and believe in Mother Nature, the source of magic and power.

Faith in Christianity is as follows-

Hear (Read), Believe and Obey Jesus the Christ!

This is the Only Valid Irreducible Statement of Faith worth considering!

This is what Christians should believe and it is where Christianity comes from, In fact it is what Christianity is!

Let us keep the main thing the main thing and let us be for real for Christ, because Jesus Christ and his Gospel the one and only, must be kept up front and center in the overall focus of Christianity because it is our duty to Christ.

 Christ Jesus put SANITY in CHRISTIANITY!

Other Gospels are more than happy to take sanity away from Christianity to lift up the name of their own denomination, or church for the purpose of convincing their own following that only they have the true belief in God.
To know the truth about these places look at the results of their beliefs, because most of these other gospels being preached out there by these folks (who even have seminaries) will have a following that will argue against the sound doctrines of Christ himself and as a result they remain contrary to the very Gospel of Christ they claim to be preaching.

This is very confusing to a new Christian (like I was at one time) who knows that something is wrong when they hear these contradictions in the sermons quoting the very same gospel that contradicts their message. Once in a mainstream denomination church that I was attending at the time, I asked a Sunday school teacher (a graduate of this denominations seminary) about a verse in the New Testament which was intentionally being skipped over in their Sunday school lesson and this Associate Pastor of this very large church leading the class said and I quote “we are not going to talk about that verse because it contradicts what we believe here at this church” I was stunned to hear such a confession about how the gospel of Christ actually contradicted their beliefs and it was not the first or the last time something like this happened to me. I also had a Senior Pastor of I Church which I attended for almost a decade and was also on the staff; tell me that he did not believe that he had to listen to Jesus any more than any other prophet in the bible.  Many religions out there hold to the opinion that Jesus is just another man in the bible. However it was shocking to me to discover this concept in several Christian Churches I have been associated with. Trust is a very hard thing to find once it is lost because I trusted these Spiritual leaders to interpret scripture based on the perspective of the doctrines of Christ not based on the perspective of the denomination they attended. Needless to say I was rudely awakened to the fact that submitting to what I considered Christian leadership would not guarantee that I would be lead into real Christianity according to Christ, or even that I could become a true Christian based on following their advice. As a result I have been left with no choice but to return to seeking Christianity from the words of Christ himself; like I did at the beginning of my conversion, because there are simply way too many different forms of Jesus to serve out there depending on who you ask.

 We will show and comment on the Gospel of Christ step by step using common language to comment on and explain the meanings of these teachings called doctrines, to the average person for consideration of its values and benefits to mankind.

In the history of the church in general, so called Christian leaders have taken on crusades for God which is not given in the gospels and for this reason the non believers have been given an occasion to criticize Christianity by saying it is a hateful religion.
Religion is not always a bad word; however religion based on belief of a group other than a pure Gospel perspective can have a following with a religious hatred for other beliefs. As seen in the new religion of atheism. This is a natural response for any religion other than the one Christ has given us to live in because Jesus makes it clear to avoid this behavior from a religious spirit that he calls evil by the way.  

The Church has in the past assumed responsibility to save souls and this is what led to the infamous Spanish inquisitions when the church tortured individuals to make them confess in the belief that it was their duty to save the soul. Where do you think the expression ‘scare the hell out of someone’ comes from?

In addition to forced personal confessions, they would make individuals name others who needed to confess as well, causing many to lie about people they knew so that they could escape the torture themselves. This assumed responsibility led to countless tortures and resulted in nothing less than public terrorism on the church’s behalf. The belief that a Christians is responsible for saving a soul can and does lead to Christians trying to force their opinions on others with the attempt to cram their belief down someone’s throat ‘so to speak’. It results in spiritual terrorism and is the reason many reject what is meant to offer a better way of life; it often gives Christianity a bad reputation, however it can also be a sign of a new convert who is not yet spiritually mature, a ‘baby Christian’ if you will.

Other gospels disregard the responsibility of preparing others to do the work of Christ in an effort to insure self exaltation and Job security This is the responsibility of the church to help mature the new convert and teach them the way of the Gospel and it is a responsibility too often ignored, because they are too busy trying to win souls in a place that exists for training up Christians to go out and win the souls to Christ, but are preoccupied with evangelism in church which is inappropriate, Evangelism is the responsibility of the Christians in their Church. I repeat the Church is not the place for evangelism and it is not Christian behavior to evangelize in church; Christ did not evangelize from within a gathering of his own disciples who where there to learn his Gospel. When a lost soul has a natural built in fear of God because of sin he is not likely to visit Church this would be like a police station inviting a criminal to visit a police station. The main fear of the sinner is, knowing how much of a permanent life change occurs in a real Christian. We have all known Jesus people before we converted and I for one looked like a deer in the headlights when they would ask me to go to their church, because I was not ready to be like them. I would listen half heartily when they told me how much their life had improved, however they lacked the ability to explain what Jesus taught and that fact turned me away from making the decision to give the way of Jesus a chance to work in my life. They claimed Jesus saved them but they did not know the way of Jesus and as a result they could not tell me what Jesus believed and they only talked about his miracles.

It is the Christians responsibility to share the message he gave Christianity to share, we are to preach the message he came to deliver without adding to it or taking away from it, as expected from any worthy messenger who sent to deliver a message sent to others by a Lord. The Gospel of Christ is that message Christians are sent to preach to the world by the lord. When men add to his message or purposely leave out aspects of that message they are being deceptive and they are preaching another gospel. Even our court system requires a witness to tell the truth, the whole truth (not leaving out) and nothing but the truth (not adding to) why would a witness for Christ be held to a lesser standard?

I believe every one will notice that the modern church is full of feel good self help, prosperity messages, positive thinking messages, general commentaries, and subjects about the church itself; however the content that is usually missing is the gospel being taught and its benefits being explained within it, so that it can be preached to the world by its membership. For the most part the modern church has simply lost touch with teaching the gospel of Christ to its membership and will teach whatever its leader wishes to teach. In one church I attended, that church will only preach and sing what is written down for them by their superior in another church, this is an example of micro management in the extreme.

The lesson here is that it is the responsibility of a Christian; not a church to win souls to Christ, not to be confused with the responsibility of the Church or the Christian to save souls, because the responsibility to save is reserved exclusively for Jesus Christ and that salvation is contained within the power of his Gospel and his teachings, which is given to the world as a way of life to those who chose to love him and have him lord over their lives.

Understanding the religion of Atheism and its hidden agenda using the A.C.L.U. for ‘religious purpose’

What we have observed,

• That atheist’s deny being a religion even when the Supreme Court has ruled that they are a religion on several occasions.
• That atheist’s are unable to define its own identity which is why the Supreme Court needed to do it for them.
• The Supreme Court found that any group having a belief on divinity whatsoever is in fact a religion, even if that belief is in a lack of a deity (GOD). (the negative equal to religion)
• We must remember that religion is a part of a group’s identity and culture. It can be clearly seen within that Identity or culture by observation.
   Religion is described as having a philosophy about the nature of our existence.
   Note that Darwin’s Evolution is the philosophy for the nature of our existence and is the culture which gives identity to the modern atheist.
• In the discussion with atheist’s it is clearly seen that atheist are very confused about what the word atheist really means for example; on one hand they say it means -----a lack of belief in whether or not God exists-------, and at the same time they also say that it means -----having a belief -------that God does not exist.
  
  This endless and pointless argument about their own identity makes atheist reasoning appear underdeveloped as group in general to say the least, because one statement cancels out the other, making a description of the nature of the group impossible to understand even within the group itself.
  Remember this internal confusion on identity is exactly why the Supreme Court had to take up the case for them in the first place, because the group itself can not express its own beliefs in a clear and mature way that makes sense in any lower court after failing to do so within its very own group.
• In a court room facts are used to make decisions. (BTY Darwin’s theory of Evolution can not be proven in a court of Law).
  Again it is these clear internal contradictions within the group itself which have made the group as whole completely incapable of having a clear description of the group’s identity on what position it takes on divinity and this is what has required the intervention of the Supreme Court to name its identity for them using observation of the facts.
  Thanks to the Supreme Court, perhaps atheist’s can self evolve a clear understanding of their own identity in the title of atheist and the beliefs within their own culture----of the anti-religious form of religion seen by all of us.
• When this self righteous group speaks about religion they speak in the same way that any religion speaks about other religions.
   In other words, the conversation is a carbon copy of religious hatred of other religions.
  They self righteously say others are self-righteousness and evil, exposing the hypocritical nature of themselves of in the process by being self-righteous towards others.
  They will display hate and accuse the other of hatred.
  They will also say that they hate the other because; the other does not love every one and will prove to be a hypocrite because they themselves do not love everyone.  
  
  
• The decisions (plural) upheld by the Supreme Court to consider atheism a religion may help the group understand as a whole that they have a belief about God, which is a religious statement of faith that states that there is no God.
•  More over one of the of the most obvious evidences Atheism has evolved into the status of a religion over time, is found in the original definition of the name A-theist in which the letter A stands for Agnostic (Uncertain or undecided about belief in God) and word ‘Theist’ which means the “Belief in a God” (A-theist).
  The definition of the word A-Theist, should be having no opinion whatsoever (A-agnostic) in a belief of God (theist)
  However when it is compared to the modern definition, Atheism has a different definition altogether.
  Today Webster’s defines Atheist as: “one who believes that there is no deity” The key word here is ‘believes’. Which is in fact not a lack of belief, (and is what they claim out of convenience from the old definition of Atheism for deceptive purposes), this added belief has changed the definition into something like Anti-theism; A definition that requires blind faith (the religious kind of faith/belief) in the non existence of a deity. And this newly added atheist belief is not a lack of belief that was traditionally considered Atheism in the past.
   Also this ‘Faith of knowing the truth’ in the non-existence of God is a deciding factor of evidence in the existence of a religious belief. This new definition (of an Anti-theist who is no longer an Agnostic-theist) should have and has been defined as a religion by the Supreme Court--- because of this lack of opinion about God is no longer present within the group.
  
   If you had a lack of belief whatsoever (one way or the other) about the existence of a God---------- would you identify yourself with a group who is constantly involved in endless rants about religion in conversation with you hoping to win over your belief about the subject of God?
  
  I know that I would see this group as looking to convert me in the opposite from of religion (anti religion) and I would never take on the identity of this type of culture, I would avoid a pro religious culture just the same.
  
  The true old school Atheist no longer exists in modern Atheism they have been pushed out by the new order of Anti-theism.
  Which is now the overwhelming majority of atheism; this new anti-theism has completely taken over the group, disguising itself as the agnostic old order and original definition! A perfect example of a wolf in a sheep’s clothing.
  
  
• Clearly Atheists bash a Christians, in the same ways a Christian will bash Atheists in their speech about each other in their own group just visit open discussion on any atheist group web page.
  It is like a religious web page, they have a need to feel like they belong to a higher purpose in life than merely to exist, and that higher purpose in life to them is much like a religious persons, in that they feel like they need belong to a lager force to rid the world of this evil (religion in this case) and in the name of their cause they will try to force their beliefs on other people just like they say about religion. They too need more than just an individual purpose in life.
  
  Today the pot is calling the kettle black and the kettle is calling the pot black!
   In addition to the Supreme Court; religions are now calling this higher purpose in life for Atheism a religion as well.
  Nowhere is this seeking of more than individual existence, more evident than within the higher purpose of the A.C.L.U. which supports an atheist religion against religion
  The A.C.L.U. has a long history of fighting against religion however it also has a long history of fighting for Atheism a known religion, we have to ask why? The answer is that the hidden agenda is to hinder all religion which is not their own. A religious crusade if you will, with the A.C.L.U. army of religious crusaders for the atheist minority in America to force its own belief about deity upon the population.
  This is a clear contradiction of what they claim to protect which is freedom and civil liberty.
• 
   The A.C.L.U. is religion disguised as a protector of freedom, while doing all it can to eliminate religious freedom for any religion other than its own.
  in order to evade its weapon of legal attack, you must have the same religious higher purpose in life that they have in their own atheist religion to be left out of their fight for so called freedom from religion. The A.C.L.U. has a drive towards its belief that sees all religions other than its own (Atheism) as unsafe driving in the realm of belief. This is a typical religious view of having a higher purpose for any religion.
  Today this religious crusade of atheism is battled in the courtroom and it also upholds support for the same religious battle in schools on the educational front.
  
  They have been very successful in this religious battle being disguised as agnostic, when in fact they are Atheists with hidden religious intentions all along as the wolf in sheep’s clothing.
  The cat is out of the bag so to speak thanks to the Supreme Court and its eyes being opened to the fact of Atheist having a clear agenda of taking a stand on deity against the majority of the public and trying to force its hidden agenda of its atheist religion on the public in general in the successful attempts to violate religious freedom on every front. No wonder the Supreme Court has ruled atheism a religion.
  Atheisms own hidden agenda in the A.C.L.U. has become far too evident way too often in its own court room for far too long in history to be ignored.
  Because the combatants of the A.C.L.U. in this Atheism religious crusade, have become self absorbed in the higher purpose of seeking to be the only religion (Atheism) available to this country (starting with Christianity) which was settled for and founded on religious freedoms.
  Like most freedom fighters we have seen across the globe in the past they deceptively fight in the name of freedom with a hidden agenda only to become exactly what they have overthrown, as history repeats itself.
   This boils down to a power play for the take over of who will be in control over the beliefs of people and win the people over to their side with their own beliefs to dominate religious beliefs in America.
  
  
• Another evidence of this religion which is clearly seen by everyone is in the way this group becomes angry and avoids questions about their evidence or the theory that forms the basis of their religious type of belief.
  Which BTY is also a very common religious response to criticisms of faith in any religion!
  If a person gets angry over a question about their belief you have just found that persons religion.
  The test of a person’s religion is this; if you test a person’s belief and question it and the person gets angry you have just found that person’s religion, you have found the thing that the person thinks is so true, it causes them to get angry if some one does not accept it.
  
  In other words, the religious response is seen in the way this group displays the same emotions as any other religious person’s response would be when you question or disagree with that persons own religion. They will eventually deny credibility of the question, without trying to provide a reasonable answer and without the attempt to build a case as to why a person’s faith should exist in the first place. This also exposes a lack of personal maturity in any religion; pro-theist or Anti-Theist. 
  
  
•  A religious response is evidence of religion, even if that religious response is one based on the religious denial of a God.
  
  
• Atheists are clearly seen displaying blind faith with statements that ‘Darwin’s theory of Evolution is a fact’ (something unknown and unproven), without giving example. This is the evidence of typical types of Religious blind faith responses to questions of problems in theory or theology.
• Darwin’s theory is the core religion of Atheism which has evolved into the religiously defended (flip side) faith based religious science called evolution.
  The quick explanation; by a religion about the nature of our Existence in the religious battle to win souls over to their own side in the fight of belief for God, or verses the fight for faith in belief that God does not exist.
  The religion described by the Supreme Court is the religious belief of the origins of life with; no possibility of intelligent design of life with zero tolerance for any discussion of such a possibility. It is strictly forbidden in the same way religion in the past would have burned someone at the stake for teaching against the religion.
  
  In other words this new religion and its members will and do respond the same way religion in the past has responded in regard to the heretic who would dare to speak out against them publicly and will do everything in its power to shut down opposition. Laws have changed since then and so has the power struggles but the long term goal is to win over the souls of children as they move through our educational system and squeeze out the opposition of educators as well. Unfortunately since 1962 this religion in the disguise of not having opinion about god, has become very successful in evolving the majority of the scientific educators and have successfully forced out as much opposition as possible to their religion.
  So much for keeping religion out of the school, we can forget about that because this religion has already dominated the rule of the educational system long ago.
    
• I personally call the discussion childish because these members of the group are mentally immature in how to make a case for the basis of their belief.
  This immaturity in knowledge is evident by the way they attempt to make a case to defend their scientific conclusions. The argument usually contains one or all of the following constructs;
• A denial of credibility of any kind for the existence of any creditable disagreeable source, (I might add) this is also seen in almost all other religious arguments of faith as well.
• Scientific babble, designed to confuse the objections or questions of others in the hope that people will see them as far too smart to communicate with; hoping that others will give in and hide from or submit to their pretense of wisdom.
• These constructs usually show up immediately when blind faith in the basic concept of the religion is not enough to overcome the question and when the frustration from the doubt of making any reasonable argument sets in and anger begins because the belief they hold is not being accepted.
• I can predict based on the history of religion that this new religion now seen within Atheism will repeat the history of past religions; because history always repeats it’s self and when it does this will be the only proof for evolution that we will know for a fact.
  We should call it the evolutionary life of a brand new religion; the last religion standing will be decided by the survival of the fittest and having the most ruthless sneaky snake in the grass, wise as a serpent leadership it can find for it’s religion, it will be free from the influence of divine morality that may slow its progress in the multiplication of its numbers in society, it will wipe out any and all other religious resistance, by any means available to promote its own success, and it will evolve into its most ruthless form of religion with a religious belief of ‘God does not exist’ forced on others and it will eventually demand citizens under its control to renounce Christ.

The big bang theory is just that a theory it is not science because the word science means to know! I am not sure how theories’ became considered science in the first place but true science is considered things that can be proven.

As far as theory goes I have a theory about the big bang theory based on biblical scripture. I believe that what the math in the big bang theory is trying to explain comes from Genesis when God said let there be light and bang there it is. Based on that verse, Light energy should be the base for all matter as in the string theory, organized, formed and controlled by the will and word of God into the great void without form, called the universe as we know it. The entire universe (uni-verse) is summed up in one verse the very first verse in the Bible “in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” this is the entire universe summed up in one verse Genesis 1:1. God formed and created from this ‘m’ theory or ‘string theory’ which is light energy that we call matter and this is my biblical theory of the big bang.

 Einstein’s famous theory from which the atomic bomb came from is explained

Where E is energy, m is mass, and c is the speed of light.

This could also support the biblical theory of the big bang where Light is the basis for all matter.

Those who like to learn from books would do well to learn why the first book ever printed was written, they may be surprised to learn that the Bible has been the number one best seller ever since it was the very first Book printed and that the word bible means BOOK.

The first book (BIBLE) was printed for Christians and was printed by Christians and Christians have made it the number one best seller ever since. It is my opinion that people seeking to be book smart ignore the history of 'book' making them very ignorant of book facts in general. How can they have trust in something like a book, if they do not even know where it first came from? Christians led the way for book lovers! We were there first and we are the strongest book lovers today. We know worthless imitations of the original book of wisdom as worth less when we see people like Darwinist trying to recreate history with books of theory which are completely disproven by real science, Right? See for your self. By the way the word Science was first used in the Bible It means ‘to know’ it does not mean to guess, Theories are not science!

WHY DO WE EXIST

We know that we exist and there is a wide variety of answers out there depending on who you ask.

 Some say that asking the question is pointless.

Others say that we do not exist at all, but we do not have to listen to opinions from people who do not exist, right?

The Biblical answer is

• We exist because God created us, so for Gods own purpose is why we exist.
• God gave all things to Jesus Christ so Gods purpose is that we exist for Christ to own us, along with everything else as the inheritance of Christ, who is the one and only Son of God and who is God the Son. A wealthy Father creates great wealth for their only Child to inherit. John 3:35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
• Jesus says Love is the reason we exist to Love God and to love others.
• Every person will know this is why we exist, when we face Jesus in the resurrection and every knee bows in the presence of Christ our Lord on the Day of Judgment when we will answer for why we are created on that day. John 5:22-30 and Matt 25:31-46. Those who doubt have a lot to lose on that day if the bible is correct but those who are ready for it have nothing to lose if it is incorrect. Think about It!

The description of the last judgment

31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38  When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39  Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Matt 25:31-46 (KJV)

John 3:35 -

The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.

22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: 23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. 24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. 25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. 26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; 27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. 28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. 30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

John 5:22-30 (KJV)

The bible that we have written from ancient scriptures has been proved reliable by more experts such as historians, archeologists and by predicting events before those events happened. It has verifiable evidence of three thousand year old scriptures found in the Dead Sea scrolls.

No other writings have more scrutiny against them and yet still are considered reliable by so many people world wide.

 It has been the first book ever printed and has held the number one best seller since that time.

The bible has been removed from the best seller list because it goes without saying it will always be the number one best seller. Personally I believe to avoid deception; that books which come in second on the best seller list should be called the # 2 best seller but then we have all grown accustom to deceptive advertizing.

We can assume based on being the best seller since the beginning of books that the bible is considered to be reliable to the majority of the public.

I seek to answer why we exist in the most reliable book available.

We know we exist because God created all things and will again make it all new.

Genesis and Isaiah 45:5-10, 65:17.

From knowing this truth, we need words from Gods own mouth to lead us into the answer of why we exist.

Who other than God would really know?

Any one else answering this question would in fact be guessing.

 I have witnessed first hand countless folks with the gift of guessing and they do nothing more than confuse themselves and others so I can understand why in the Old Testament people would be stoned for teaching something as Gods word when it wasn’t to eliminate so many liars pretending to hear directly from God in so many non prophet organizations.

Deuteronomy 18:15-22

God said he would raise up a prophet like Mosses (Jesus) who will speak his words in a New Covenant, when Mosses received the Ten Commandments God also said who ever would listen to Jesus would answer to him.

Mt 11:27, Lu 10:22,   

God words through Jesus who says he is Gods one and only Son and all things are given to him by his Father in Heaven gives all we need to know about the reason  we exist.

John 16:15

Like most parents (being created in Gods own image) who work to give their Children all that they can, it should be obvious that why we exist is for Gods Son to have rule over us and to belong to him as his inheritance whether we know it or not.

We are created for God the Son which obviously pleases God the Father who can do what pleases him and give his Son to the world and the world to his Son at the same time while seeking those to worship him in Spirit and Truth those who are Lost.

John 13:3  

 John 17:6-10

6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. 7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. 8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. 9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. 10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

MANAGER

Merry Christmas!

Every one is familiar with the Baby Jesus in a manger scene at Christmas because Jesus was born in a Manger and Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Christ. When God Gave His one and only Son to the world, so Christmas is a time of giving.

Jesus has been given to us as Lord and MANAGER of the way we are to live in order to be in a right standing with God.  

It is no coincidence that within the word MANGER is the words a man n a manger.

A manger was a place where food was placed for the Sheep Jesus is what God has provided to us (his sheep) as food for our soul and spirit,

 The words Jesus gives us (words in red)  is called the word of God, Jesus calls these words the seed of the Sower and he paraphrases this seed to wheat which is used to make bread which he calls the bread of life, eternal life to be exact.

Man does not live by Bread alone but by every word that precedes from the mouth of God through Christ our Lord.

Jesus the Christ is Gods Gift to us on the first Christmas day as our only moral Manager worth accepting as Gods’ gift to us.

 Please accept this free Gift that God gave us which is his one and only son who gave his life for us, and to lead us in our lives as Gods only approved standard to follow to the best of our ability.

 May God bless you this Christmas day and on the first Christmas Day that we all received the most valuable Gift ever given in the history of the earth.  

Change

The main word in the word change is hang!

So hang in there do not be wary in well doing.

Beware! All worthy change in spirituality also hangs on this one simple statement ‘Hear (read) believe and obey Jesus the Christ, only offspring son of god, who is much more than a mere prophet of god many would have us believe otherwise, God forbid! Because he is our gift of Gods will for us today.

KJV

Heb 7:12

A new law and a new priesthood

12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

Challenge

The main word in CHALLENGE is change.

So take the Challenge and change!

Change your mind and purpose to come to Jesus and find rest for your soul; it is a spiritual/mental amazing paradise.

One of the ways that can be seen within the word Change; is to convert, which is also a Challenge for anyone possessing free will and who is a free moral agent until converting.

It is challenging because our morals have to come from Jesus who was sent to give us Gods will in this area of our belief system and we all have to Change our minds about what we believe is right from wrong in this new way called the gospel.
 It is good news because it works when we fail in our own understanding of the differences of what we believe to be right and wrong. We are all surprised when we learn what Jesus gives us to believe because it is not natural, it is supernatural in the way it works when we apply his way a changed way to our lives, and how we live and this is the challenge of the NEW TESTAMENT which is also the NEW TEST AT MEN ?

Salivation

Do we hunger for Jesus as food for our soul?

Then Christ’s Salvation truly is a reason for salivation! I for one hunger to be in it!

Jesus is the seed in ‘the parable of the ‘Sower’ because he is the only one called the ‘word of god’ (rev19:13/ jn1:1, 14) he & his word is sown into Gods field, the ground, the earth (the world) people are still formed from dust today, because from the time the seed enters the egg in our mother, every thing that forms us comes from the earth. In essence we are all still formed from the dust of the earth, each and every one of us.

Spreading the Gospel of Jesus is the work of god. This is Gods will for all of us following Christ; it is our purpose in life (mk4:14/mt28:19). Because all of heaven rejoices when even one sinner repents (more than a hint of Gods goal) and converts to Jesus as their soul advisor which is what following Jesus means! Also if we follow Jesus we will become his students (disciples) (again mt28:20). No other person gives gods will better than Jesus Christ, although many try and look foolish on the pulpit even making themselves liars and teachers of lies when they make changes (tare, mt13:25) to the given word of Jesus Christ’s good news gospel (seed for new life to be born again into his very own spirit).

A healthy spirit depends on spiritual food and inside the word healthy is the word eat (healthy) eat a full course meal prepared by God through Jesus. Inside the words healthy Spirit is the words, Heal-thy Spirit! This is no coincidence. The sword of the lord is what comes out of the mouth of Jesus and is also called the word of god just like Jesus himself is called the word of god. The main word in the word sword is word, this also is no coincidence! The bible does not refer to its self at any time, because the bible (book) did not exist when it was written. When Jesus spoke of the word of God he was not referring to our bible he was in fact referring to his gospel. See (Matthew 10:34, Ephesians 6:17, Revelation 1:16 / 19:13-15, & Ezekiel 21:1-27, Genesis 3:24) No man comes to God but by Jesus Christ the sword of the Lord.

Bread is made from wheat seed.

Like unto; the true living bread is made of seed (Word) which is broken down for many,

SALIVATE!  Hunger for and eat the bread of life (jn6:31-63), that true living bread. Jesus is also food for our souls. Because whenever and whatever we eat; that food becomes part of us, so eat the words of life which Jesus spoke. Be in him (his spirit, way, truth & life) and his spirit will be in you. It is Holy & it will become a part of you.

So bring your salivation and join the feast! (mt22:2-14, 5:6, / lk14:16-24)

 If they will observe the words in red, then naturally they will serve the one whose words are spirit and life; our Lord and savior.

We should hear, believe and obey the only way (way of Jesus) to the Father and when we speak, it will come from the same spirit that Christ was in, and was in him, and is now is in you, and which will be speaking and not you that is speaking but God in you. You will be one with the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit because you have the same spirit, same way, same truth, same eternal life in you as Christ hence Christian = (Christ-like). And their will be nothing said contrary to the words of Christ if you are in the right spirit at the time.

However if there is any teaching contrary to Christ and his gospel, then we all will know who the liar is! Even when that man who contradicts Christ does not know what spirit he is in at the time. That man will instead be unfruitful because the cares and riches of the world will choke the word and that man will not bear seed (fruit) instead sowing tare in god’s field. Learn from my own mistakes and remember to Love that man and be good to him but, know that the spirit that man is in at that time is in fact the enemy of the true God revealed by Christ which is also the words and spirit, given to Christ’s sheep as good spiritual food (mt7:7-11) and a stranger’s voice we will not listen to. That man who makes his self to be a liar, contradicting the words of Christ is coming to the sheep by a way (way of life) other than the door (Christ) and will steal sheep to follow his own ideas rather than those given to us by the good shepherd. (jn10:-30) Or they may just be interested in fleecing the sheep for financial gain which is still theft. (1tim10:5) Like in the parable of the wheat and the tare Jesus sows the wheat (word of God) which bares fruit but the tare (counterfeit word) looks like wheat but bears not fruit (fruit of the Spirit Gal 5:22-26).

The word Christian means to be Christlike!

So where does Christianity come from?

It is only the words and the example of Christ that can duplicate his own likeness in us period. It is not being like those in our church that makes us a Christian. It is most definitely not being like our religious leaders, that will make us a Christian, it is only being like Christ that makes us Christians.

Knowing Christ as written is what Christians should believe, this is what Christianity is and this is where Christianity comes from. Just to drive the point home Christianity can only come from Jesus and no where else. By no other name are men saved, not by the name of God (because their are many definitions in the minds of men) not by the name of our church (again there are many), not by the Prophets (many), the law (many), and not by the bible (adaptable to many interpretations), but by the name Jesus and no one goes to the Father but by Jesus when making him Lord and master of all you that you are.

Others may teach whatever they want to teach most of the time, instead of what they are told by Jesus Christ to teach, but when they do teach what Jesus says to teach; we should be all ears because we who are Christians want Jesus to be our lord. Others may be deceptive within themselves and towards others about being a Christian, but those of us who seek to be Christ like are seeking Gods will according to Jesus first, and will know the truth about who is a Christian and who merely honors Jesus with their lips while their hearts are far from him, and they are teaching for lessons/doctrines the commandments of men. (In other words they are teaching their own lessons or those of their church, as the “Commandments of God”)

Real Christians know that the Commandments of God; for us, only come from Jesus, because Jesus is our Lord.

And because we are under the New Covenant, the Commandments of God for us today, come in the form of the New Covenant brought to us by Jesus, which is spiritual in nature not based on rules but rather based on our belief system, our character, our mentality, our spirituality coming from our heart, not from the rule book, but rather from the authors own Spirit when he wrote the rules; and from the reasons that he wrote them in the first place. Rules meant to show us that we can not do it on our own without Jesus as our only spiritual advisor and to show us that Christ alone is God himself revealed to us; for us to follow his example. To follow Jesus and his words is the only example to follow that will lead us into Gods ways as given to us by God’s only Son who is God the Son and who has inherited us all.

This is a take it, or leave it; choice for every person who has been created by God as a free moral agent to make.
 We either teach what Jesus tells us to teach in order to be Christ like or not!

To have Jesus to rule over us in all aspects’ is the only way acceptable to God, and to disregard the message Jesus God the Son as Lord of all things has spoken in regard to God's will, is to dishonor God His Father, who are in essence the same with the same Holy Spirit inside both the Father and Son making them one.

Mark 7:6-9 (KJV)

6 He answered and said unto them, “Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.” 7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. 9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

Some folks will keep their own tradition at all cost believing that they know right from wrong and I have no doubt that on judgment day they will regret not getting their sense of what is right and what is wrong from Jesus Christ himself, written down by his trusted students that we call the four Gospels. In fact Those trusted Students wrote the gospels down to eliminate confusion and to prevent the perverting of the message of Christ the way that even they saw back then and still occurs even today with so many trying to lead others back into rules an out of love for Jesus and one another.

Rules put certain people over others and have no room for forgiveness to be effective or impartial, but Jesus makes all equal by making all equally guilty and equally forgiven at the same time, but only if the accused do not condemn, do not judge and forgive others as they themselves would desire to be forgiven.
