Wow! I can't believe the foolish dribble people will come up with just so they can explain away a Holy God...

Well, according to a video I just watched, the Israelite had an alien-created Manna Machine called, "The Ancient of Days" provide food for them while they wandered in the desert for 40 years. It seems that it was powered by a nuclear device that was carried in the Ark of the Covenant (which is why people died when they touched it). Question: why didn't these ever-so-helpful aliens give them directions to their vacation destination since it was only 10 days journey away? HOW FOOLISH SCIENTISTS MUST THINK PEOPLE ARE!!! It is 10 times harder to believe their rot than to just accept that God is God. I am astounded!

Just think...

When God created us He knew what was going to be required of Him to save us from sin, yet, His love was that great, that He made us regardless of the cost. Have you counted the cost of loving Him? Have you decided that it is too much? Have you considered the cost of NOT loving Him? "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:22-23. Sin: a violation of the known will of God. Penalty: eternal separation from the One that loves us more than any other, and the Only One worthy of our love.

When Does Human Life Begin?

These are FACTS. Do not bother me with arguments. Nothing changes FACT.

If life was discovered on another planet there are criteria we would refer to conclusively determine if the claim was accurate. How do scientists identify life?

A scientific textbook called “Basics of Biology” gives five characteristics of living things; these five criteria are found in all modern elementary scientific textbooks:

All living things... are highly organized, have an ability to acquire materials and energy, have an ability to respond to their environment, have an ability to reproduce, and have an ability to adapt.

According to this life begins at fertilization, when a sperm unites with an egg. At this point all five things above are true. Non-living things do not do these things. Even before the mother is aware that she is pregnant, a distinct, unique life has begun his or her existence inside her.

That life is human. A human being is a member of the species homo sapiens. Human beings are products of conception, which is when a human male sperm unites with a human female egg.

SIN and SALVATION

SIN: (Webster)

1) a: an offense against religious or moral law b: an action that is or is felt to be highly reprehensible c: an often serious shortcoming : fault

2.) a: transgression of the law of God b: a vitiated state of human nature in which the self is estranged from God



(The Holy Bible)

(The Holy Bible)

Salvation from Sin: Jesus: The gift of God, everlasting life, the Payment of our debt which we deserve and are guilty of, but forgiven through faith not works, lest any man shall boast.; life.



Got Life?

What goes through a guys head?...

What does it take?

What does it take to make it into God's Heaven? Let's look at the facts according to The Holy Bible...

God is. He is all powerful, all present, and all knowing.
Man is in a fallen state of sin.
There is good and evil.
History records all that God has done.
God Himself has sent a redeemer as predicted in Isaiah of the Old Testament in The Holy Bible.

The price paid for sin must be death; that is the price that God paid for us with the life of His only begotten Son.

There is much more, but this is the basics. Satan knows and that is not enough, so just to know it is not enough for us either. There must be more to it.

How can we know that we have a place reserved for us in God's Heaven?

Here is one way...
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)
"For the wages of sin is death..." (Romans 6:23a)
"...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23b)
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13)

Further...
"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." (Revelations 3:20a)

Even if you don't believe in God, if you take the step to look to the heavens and ask that anyone there would show themselves to you in a way that you can understand, God will honor that prayer and show you Who He is.

Don't be Afraid; Just Believe

(The Message Bible)

I have something important for you to understand. Our relationship is based on My faithfulness. Your faith may wax and wane, but My faithfulness endures forever. I will never let you go. So put your trust in Me. In every situation, remember these words: Don't be afraid; just believe.

I know the plans I have for you; plans to prosper you, not to harm you; plans to give you hope and a future. but this will only happen if you put your hope in Me and live according to My Word.

Don't be afraid; just believe. That is your responsibility in our relationship: Believe that My love for you is unfailing; believe and trust in My goodness. And when you get discouraged, quickly turn to me; call out to Me for help and I will deliver you from trouble. My faithfulness with be your shield and your fortress. I will fill you with holy peace as you trust in Me, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of My Spirit.

Don't be afraid; just believe. Be strong and courageous, for I am with you. I will not fail you nor forsake you. I will never betray My faithfulness. I am the Lord; when you hope in Me you will not be disappointed.

Don't be afraid; just believe.

(1 Ch 28:20; Ps 33:21-22; 42:5; 89:33; 91:4; 130:5,7; Isa. 49:23; Jer 29:11; Mk 5?36; Ro 3:3-4; 15:13)

What if?

People will wait until midnight on April 15th to mail their taxes, but if something prevents them from getting to the post office, their taxes are overdue. In the same respect, "what if" you live a wicked life, planning to ask forgiveness at the last moment, something could happen to prevent you from doing so. Then there is always the possibility that by the time you get there you don't care any more, or that your heart no longer leans toward God. He judges by that heart. If we use the wait till we get there plan, He already knows our heart. Is giving up the sinful pleasures of this life such a high price to pay for an eternity with God?

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 7:21 KJV)

David Hamstrug Chariot Horses

When King David won battles over other kingdoms he would cripple the chariot horses of the vanquished armies (except for about 100 of them) so they could not be used any longer. The chariots were the greatest asset to war at the time and the Lord did not want His people to trust in them. (Psalm 20:7) "Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God." God always seems to make Himself weak, so that the world will see how strong He really is. Tying His hands behind His back and taking on Satan.

How does God get your attention?

God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow... He does not change. Sometimes He tells us to "be still and know that I am God." Shut up, Be still, Keep quiet, who is to say how it translates to our own hearts. Shut up is a bit harsh to some ears, to others, perhaps it is just a way to get through our thick heads. God is not so passive as one might think... He has wiped out entire people groups, men, women, and children. GOD is awesome, mighty and should be feared always (not in terror, but in respect for His awesome power).

What god do you serve?

The highest price ever paid for anything in the world, was paid for you, by the only One that knows your true heart, yet still loves you; the One we ignore for more reasons than we can every excuse; the One that stands up for us even when we are turning away from Him; the One we will stand before one day, and realize that we have waisted so much time, money, and passion on things that have no value: Lord Jesus, forgive us! - Look at your day; what have you spent more time doing than anything else? That is your god.
