I really want to acknowledge those Christians who come to my site from all countries. WordPress allows me to see where my viewers come from, and some of these countries are not Christian-friendly. There is not much more of a heartening thing to me than knowing there are Christians who risk their lives for their faith, especially in Islamic nations. And for some of them to come to my site? It’s an honor to teach you and answer your questions. I pray I have helped. I have prayed and will pray to God that He keeps all of you safe and strengthens your resolve, even in the face of death.
Remember, God did not spare His own Son, but had Him suffer to fulfill His purpose. What did our Lord receive for His suffering? All glory. Stephen died with his faith and became the first Christian martyr. Peter was also martyred. Paul also risked his life and suffered greatly not to only learn the Word, but spread it. Paul also most likely suffered martyrdom. Did they feel Christ was worth it? Most certainly. Because things were revealed to them through the Holy Spirit, they had great faith in what they were to receive after their deaths. If they knew what was coming, then have faith at what is reserved for you when your time comes. After things were revealed to them, they didn’t run away from their belief, did they? They ran headlong into places where it could be dangerous to spread the Gospel that Jesus is Lord.
Keep faithful to Christ and He will be faithful to you. He has a place for you beyond anything you can imagine having, and you avoid condemnation. He died for you, so be willing to reciprocate His sacrifice with yours. This life and the suffering we can encounter in this life is temporary. Eternity is forever, so don’t let your eternity be full of suffering and shame. You wouldn’t want to let your Lord down, would you? I do not think lightly the struggle you may have by holding onto your faith in Christ in countries that are hostile to our beliefs. If I do not think think lightly of it, how do you think our Lord thinks of it? Because you hold onto your faith in harm’s way, you bring a smile to His face. He’s eager to reward you. I hope He keeps you safe. If you suffer death for His sake, you will be safe forever. God bless all Christians in harm’s way.
ONE OF THE ELECTION OF GRACE 
You need to realize that what Christians have received in the NT is the list of books not approved of until the Roman Pope. We’ve been sold a bill of goods that all the NT is true, and it can be proven to anyone with an open mind that about half of it should be tossed out if truth matters, especially the truth that Y’shua came to give mankind.
You’ve discerned some things, and I want to check out more – but do be advised – Paul was never an apostle of Jesus Christ. Paul is the liar of Revelation 2.
If Paul to you is the liar in Revelation 2, then you are more lost than most nonbelievers. At least most nonbelievers have not laid any biblical foundation for their beliefs. Paul did more to spread the Word than just about anyone ever. He also suffered more than anyone outside of Christ, even dying for his faith. I’ll be damned if I let someone who couldn’t walk a day in Paul’s shoes besmirch him at my site without a harsh rebuke! I don’t know what path you turned onto or when to have you at this destination, but it was your choice to travel this far off the right path of wisdom. To become so personally blinded by your own thoughts to say Paul was not an apostle and the liar in Revelation 2 (which that itself shows your ignorance) shows me that whatever you allowed yourself to think that it was good enough to be a fact to you. The liar in Revelation is not one man, but men. I’d suggest you read around my site about who Jesus was talking about in Revelation 2:9 (and 3:9), but that might open to more comments. I am only allowing this one because it deserves a rebuke, but that’s only once. I will not allow Paul to be so insulted at my site. One last thing… given that it was so important to comprise the books of the Bible, and what all was riding on it, God would not allow the fate of His Word to be put in the hands of men. God made sure certain books were put into His book. This is a truth.
From Genesis chapter 1 at the end it seems we were originally supposed to eat vegetables and not eat meat. I’m also taking it animals were not supposed to eat meat either as it says every green herb is for meat. Was this world wide or just for whatever was inside the Garden at that time? If world wide then I don’t understand why God made an animal such as a wolf with teeth if it was first meant to eat green herbs. I reread your other site over the elohiym part meaning a higher authority. I believe your using this as another way to prove we pre existed and Paul did say we would judge angels so maybe this creation is higher authority. This leads me to the question of who you think the 24 elders are in Revelation?
We were able to eat animals back then. Plants were for meat, as in eating, as well as animals. Remember, Abel was a shepherd. If they didn’t eat lamb, they wouldn’t have needed a shepherd. I did say elohiym (pl.) can mean a greater authority, but I have no doubt that most of the time that word was used to mean God and Jesus. I’m sure some of the apostles and prophets make up the 24 elders.
What is your thoughts on how people lived so long before the flood? I would say maybe before Adam and Eve’s sin they could live forever in the flesh similar to the previous age but even after their fall people still lived several hundred years. I’ve seen this a lot lately and I have to ask your opinion on the flat earth theory? I think it’s false and ridiculous. When Samuel was first called in 3:7 it says Samuel didn’t know the Lord yet but previously it says he ministered to the Lord and I think Eli, his father, was even a priest. Samuel must have known who God was already. Is this verse just showing Samuel was called for nothing he has done in this life? Lastly do you think Saul was one of the elect? After Samuel anointed him Saul was able to prophesy with the prophets and even said he was a changed man afterwards. How can someone simply anointing you make such an impact? Was the Holy Spirit with Jesus before his fast in the desert? It says He returned in power after His fast. Maybe a person is changed after a fast? Thank you again for your website. I wish everyone could find it and read it.
Thanks for the compliment. The earth was never flat. I have no idea where people got that from. The sun, planets, and stars were round, so was earth. Samuel was one of the elect, so at some point he was going to know God. Saul was chosen, but he might not have been of the elect, although I intend to believe he was. He just failed as did Balaam. To be anointed is to be completely awakened, but that doesn’t mean they are unable to fall. Ananias and Sapphira both were enlightened and fell immediately afterward. It must be an incredible experience, which will return to some of our creation. The Spirit was always with Jesus. The first chapter of the gospel of John makes that pretty clear.Jesus’ strength returned after He ate.
How do you think they lived for several hundred years before the flood though? Adam lived 930 years.
God had them live longer to help populate the earth, I’m sure. When the world was well populated, then lifespans became shorter.
Why did God blind everyone outside the elect? I understand that something happened before this age and it’s quite clear there is definitely the elect but I don’t think it’s written on why God keeps things a mystery. I reread over your site from time to time and see things I didn’t catch the last time. Hope you are doing well.
If God didn’t blind the rest, they would be held accountable for what they know. They couldn’t handle it in the first age, so God wanted them to have mystery when it came to Him and His ways. The elect handled it, so they know things while others can only have faith. I started dialysis in July. My kidneys stopped functioning, so that’s my new reality.Hope you’re doing well, also.
I have two questions that I have been wondering about. In 2 Kings 2:23 some kids come up to make fun of Elisha and he cursed them in the Lord’s name. Why would Elisha curse a young child? They would be under the age of accountability and just kids. In 1 Kings 22:22 there is a lying spirit that goes forth from God. Why would God have a lying spirit next to his throne? Wouldn’t this be an evil spirit in Heaven? Reading this though I wonder how much a spirit can influence a person and make them think thoughts are their own, especially someone without God or the Holy Spirit dwelling within them.
Well, the children as described were adolescents. The Hebrew word was “na’ar”, which means an adolescent boy. It’s possible these guys had a history of doing disrespectful things. The fact Elisha shaved his head for God and they made fun of him for it was taking too far. I’m sure there’s a back story. The lying spirit came from God to prove that Micaiah was the real, top prophet at that time.
In John 5:8 Jesus healed a man then told him to take up his bed and walk. Jesus was allowed to do this work because like he said in Luke about an oxen being in a ditch pulling it out, a soul would be way more important and lawful to save on a Sabbath. My question though the Pharisees told the man it wasn’t lawful for him to carry his bed on the Sabbath, are we really not allowed to do “absolutely” anything on the day we chose to observe the Sabbath? I say chose because of work schedule these days but long as you pick out a day of the week your off you should be ok. Maybe carry your bed back then was considered a big deal and looked at differently due to different times.
God isn’t so strict. As it is written, that day is for man. Not God. I do things on the Sabbath. I do something everyday. I also got to the end, so my relationship with God doesn’t take much work to continue throughout my life. I won’t have problems with my faith. I know what is written. Others, it’s especially important for them to build their faith and relationship with God. For many people, doing nothing all day is torturous. I say do what you think is right for yourself, but use a day to build your faith and relationship with God. I have written otherwise, but this is where I’m at now, and I feel it’s right.
In Matthew 8 why did Jesus cast the devils into pigs and why did they ask Him this? The torment before their time they spoke of is that judgement day?
Yes, that is what they were referring to. This story is quite revealing. Hidden behind the story is that sin opens up to demons. It is written that committing bad sins can open one up to possession. Perhaps the demons wanted to possess that person but wanted to leave. They couldn’t kill the man to free themselves, so they wanted Jesus to cast them out into animals that they can kill by “suicide”. Humans they couldn’t.
Do you have to be baptized in order to please God, Jesus and make it into heaven and everlasting life?
No. Being baptized is a public display to show you are accepting Christ and you are going to live a new life. Christ was baptized, but as John said that he should be baptized by Christ not him baptizing Christ. What Christ said of people not entering the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit, when a person asks God and Jesus to come into them and accept and forgive them, they are cleansed. The “water” just means the forgiveness of sins. When you are forgiven, you are cleansed. I haven’t been baptized yet. I will when the time is right.
Something I thought about recently is the past ice ages. Scientists say we’ve had 5 major ones. Why do you think God allowed ice ages to happen that would’ve killed many animals in the prior age multiple times? Animals have innocent souls but endure death. Maybe satan wasn’t the first one to turn from God but was the worst?
I wouldn’t know why. There are only two falls of the angels written. Satan, then known as Helel, and his angels, and the second fall during the days of Enoch.
Cannot find it but I believe you had a post over Isaiah 14 over the reason satan is referred to king of Babylon is because once Isaiah seen it, it was the past for him and satan will be king of Babylon at the end of this age. In Ezekiel satan is referred to the King of Tyrus, is there a special reason as to why he’s referred to this king?
Does satan hate us or is it just “business and not personal” as his only chance out of eternal fire is to get as much creation to fail so God will change his mind?
Biden is purposely collapsing us. Fox News has came out and said it’s like he’s purposely doing it. Think it was last year we were one of the top gasoline producers but now we’re getting into our reserves, they made a good point of this. Even after this winter is over with the virus we still got the next winter. It doesn’t seem to be going anywhere and is here to stay. I rarely watch the news with politics but I’ve seen where the White House has cut Biden off while talking before. Make you wonder, who is the White House? Someone running the show from behind. Hope all is well. This whole thing may start before Biden is done with office and I never jump to conclusions on times, I just don’t see how we can keep doing what we’re doing.
I believe I mentioned that in reply to a comment. Satan is probably referred as this king because Tyrus is already set for judgment, like Babylon and Damascus.
Satan hates us. I fully believe he tried to become our god to show God it was a mistake to have created us in the first place and now sees us as the reason for his eternal sentence.
George Soros is running the White House, just as he did when Obama was president. Biden is just going for the ride. He takes a thirty second pause between the “o” and “e” when spelling his name. It seems like we want conflict between Ukraine and Russia as evidenced by the phone call that the Ukrainian PM confirmed was true when speaking to the press, despite our government’s denial. This would drive energy prices to an unaffordable level. Biden lifted sanctions on the Nordstream pipeline and shut ours down, proving it’s not about the environment. Now he’s threatening sanctions on Russian oil and asking our companies to pick up the slack but not increasing our energy production. This might be the death knell for our economy.
I’m doing alright. You take care. You’re right. We can’t keep at this much longer, and there’s no way it can be repaired. Satanic marxists have control over too many organizations within and outside our government. America will collapse.
Why do you think satan’s curse in Genesis is to crawl on his belly all the days of his life?
I believe since Satan interfered with Adam and Eve, his ability to interfere with our creation was severely hampered. He wasn’t supposed to interfere with them, which brought sin and death to our creation before its due time, so to offset his ability to influence our creation Satan was made to crawl on his belly figuratively speaking. I don’t believe that Satan visited anyone else after that, except Christ. I believe that’s what it is. I hope you’re ready. It’s undeniable that we are approaching the time.
I am concerned with everything. I haven’t read the entire Bible yet, although I’ve re-read over a lot. I’d like to re-read the New Testament soon. From what I understand almost the entire flow of Jesus’ teachings is people simply give up waiting on Him. They are Christians but they give up on Him and stop early. As far as Islam being the end time religion if it is, I’m pretty confident about not following it. They are told to behead infidels while the Bible says those that are unaware or unfortunate enough to know about Jesus or the laws of Moses are bound by the law written in their hearts. It’s just a natural thing by nature to know murder is wrong thus proving the Bible further. I couldn’t imagine believing in something like that regardless of what they could do. As far as where America is, I don’t even always keep up with politics and it is crazy. I seen an article where they spent covid funding on critical race theory books for children all the way to age 2? Parents are domestic terrorist. Obama said freedom of speech shouldn’t be a right on social media. Social media is everything now-days. I mean nobody is giving up their Facebook feed or twitter, although I think you wrote on here you did. Social media worries me the most. You have a disinformation board now. I believe it was the Sate of Union address I watched that made me angry. Biden is reading off the teleprompter, words that aren’t even his, and you’ve got a room full of career politicians clapping. I mean, why didn’t they make those changes yesterday, last year? It sucks. My plan is to just keep reading. The more you see things line up in the Bible the more faith you have in it. I would assume once we collapse the world will follow and invade Israel while America is down but time will tell.
What is really pathetic is that these politicians and big business world government idiots think they are doing is for their own wealth and power while in reality they are setting up the short-lived kingdom for their father. Their personal blind ambition is helping the one that hated that they were created to begin with. Satan has allies that he found repugnant and not worth existing, yet they will do his bidding with complete ignorance until his son is revealed. The ones not in the book of life have one command: bring down as many with them as they can.
And yes, I am not on social media.
That’s awesome how you put all that together. Something I hadn’t put thought into is on your other site your saying people being called is done through grace and this grace given is from their actions in the previous age. I just assumed anybody outside the elect was called for no reason. So in Romans 1 it says they were called to be saints. If their called to be a saint by God then that’s different then someone making the choice to be a Christian. I see there’s a reason God saying your gonna be this or at least I want you to be this, that’s not your choice. Question is though, if a saint is someone that didn’t go back on their faith, why are they not the elect? Does this mean millions of souls didn’t bow a knee to satan in the prior age? I just figured only 7,000 plus the remnant didn’t. This means they went beyond even not bowing a knee to get hand picked. If this is correct.
No, a saint isn’t one of the elect. A saint has made their choice permanent through their faith or being faithful to the end of their lives. The called, outside of the elect, in the previous age did bow before Helel but repented. The more they fought back, faithwise, maybe helping bring fallen souls back to repentance, the stronger their call will be.
Why does Jesus say it is written you are gods in John 10:34? He is talking to a group ready to stone him so I don’t think he would be referring them to mighty or any other meaning the word may have.
This was a reference to Psalm 82, specifically verse 6. God saying “you are gods”, was also a reference to Genesis 3:5 where Satan told Eve that she and Adam will be as gods, knowing right from wrong. This Psalm was about people judging wickedly, even though they are like gods knowing right from wrong, and still judging wrongfully. Jesus was also telling these people they know right from wrong and asking what works they judge as evil.
So I watched a video earlier about asking adults if they believe a 12 year old should be able to get a tattoo if they wanted one. They said no. When asked if they should be able to take puberty blockers for a sex change, they say yes. Taking this into consideration along with people capable of cheating, lying, stealing, comparable to my personal problem, how are people capable of such absurd thinking? Seriously, do you think they are possessed or have evil spirits that put ideas in their head? It’s impossible to understand what people rationalize. It’s not even about a slight disagreement with them or they just see things differently. I mean that is purely absurd thinking but yet they can drive a car, work, manage to feed themselves?
Tattoos are beyond a 12 year olds ability to agree on because it’s life changing but a sex change for a 12 year old is ok? Something just isn’t right with that but yet it’s beyond their ability to see it?
If you believe evil spirits really can put ideas in people’s heads, who’s off limits? I’m far from perfect and I’ve made lots of mistakes.
It’s both. People don’t want to seem to go against today’s “tolerant” mindset which says that it’s compassion to have children be given life altering drugs and surgeries, so they go along to avoid confrontation with today’s belief. There is a definite unwillingness to stand up to evil that allows society to decayy. Ten years ago most of them would have been adamant that kids shouldn’t be given these things, so Satan’s spirit is increasing fast.
