No one knows how Jesus really looked…. BUT, many folks build a picture of a man such as the one above, sometimes a beautiful figure with wings… They make Jesus to be God the Father, and in their `fleshly desire` to be ~religious~ they lose the ability to put things into the proper place, AS IT IS Written… Some people tend to get all caught up in the teachings of man’s doctrines and come to believe that Jesus IS the Father, the Holy Ghost, and Himself, ALL one being with many different names, titles, and actions… BUT God’s Holy Written Word teaches different… and in actuality this teaching of ONE Being IS a teaching of confusion IF you read the Bible very much….. Usually this belief comes though, from ones who don’t read the Bible because they can’t understand it so they draw their *OWN* conclusions as to how IT should be… Make a pretty and righteous seeming statement, attach a beautiful picture to IT and feel good about their worship… Many join them in this good feeling worship…
BUT True Worship IS Spiritual, not visible with the fleshly eye…
(Romans 10:3) For they being ignorant of God’s Righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have ~NOT~ submitted themselves unto the * Righteousness of God.
Putting together some Bible Scripture of Jesus, Read what God THE Father HAD Penned down about HIS Only Begotten Son… Most of this Scripture Was Written by John, who walked and talked with God’s Only Begotten Son on this earth, and spoken BY Jesus, why would we not believe and take serious this, as well as the things that Paul wrote?
(John 8:28).. Jesus SAID: “When ye have lifted up the *Son* of man, ~~THEN~~ shall ye ~know~ that I am he, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father hath …*Taught** Me, I speak these things….
(John 7:14)…Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
(16)…Jesus answered them, “My doctrine is not mine, but HIS that sent me”
(17).. “If any man will do HIS Will, he shall know whether it be of God, or
whether I speak of myself”.
(John 4:23-24)…The Hour cometh, and now IS, when True worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth, For the Father seeketh such to worship HIM.. God is a Spirit: and they that worship HIM must worship HIM in spirit and truth…
(Romans 1:21-25)…Because that, when they knew God, they glorified HIM not as God….professing themselves to be wise, they became fools….And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into and image….Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
(Matthew 28:19-20)…Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen….
(Philippians 2:8) .. Being found in ~Fashion~ as a man, He (Jesus) humbled Himself, & became ~Obedient~ unto death, even death of the cross….
Here Jesus, set the ~Ultimate~ Example OF *Obedience* for us to follow, AND humbling Himself before His Father, proved His Loyalty…Honor.. . &… Love… & WHO DID Jesus Sacrifice Himself TO? Who were the animal sacrifices made to?
(Ephesians 5: 1-2)… Be ye therefore followers OF God, as dear children… Walk IN Love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given Himself for us … ~AN Offering & A Sacrifice TO: God, for a sweet smelling Savour…..
This, if nothing else should open some eyes if no other scripture does as to THE True Identity OF: Jesus Christ… but there are so many more…. IN Jesus Own Words.
(John 1:1)….In the beginning was the Word, and the Word, was with God and the Word was God…. How SO? READ AND LEARN!
(John 1:2-3)… THE Same was In the Beginning WITH GOD.. All things were made by Him, and without Him was not any thing made that was made….
(John 1: 14) .. THE Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us… AND we beheld ~His~ Glory as of the only *Begotten Son*) … (18) … ~~NO~~ man hath seen God ~~at any time~~ THE Only Begotten Son, which IS IN THE BOSOM ~~OF~~ The Father, hath declared HIM…. (IS This NOT Plain Enough?)
(Revelation 19:13)… He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: & His Name IS Called: THE Word OF God….
(Genesis 1:26)… God said: “Let *US* make man IN *OUR* Image…. (Notice God did not say let ME make… HE Said: Let *US* SO how can we say that Jesus IS THE Singular God When so many places indicate a: Father, Son, Relationship, between TWO Heavenly Beings? AND How can we not follow Gods Command TO Recognize both: THE Father and THE Son…?
(Matthew 16:27) .. THE Son of man shall come ~~IN THE GLORY~~ OF~~ His~~ Father with His angels; then He shall reward every man according to his works…
(Mark 13:32) .. But of that day and hour knoweth ~NO~ man, NO! Not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, BUT THE Father…. (So there IS something that Jesus does not know, only His Father)…. (Read Also Colossians 2) And Jesus said:
(John 14:28)… “IF ye ~Loved~ *Me* ye would rejoice, `Because` I said, I Go unto the Father; FOR My Father IS Greater than I.” (AND how do we recognize THE antichrist?)
(I John 2:22)… He IS antichrist, that denieth, ~~The Father AND The Son…. (AND To mush the TWO into ONE Being IS To deny either One or the Other, SO In order to Recognize THE Father and The Son, WE Must declare BOTH…..AS Individuals)
(I John 4:14) John wrote of his own sight… WE have seen and do testify, that THE Father ~~Sent~~ The Son to BE the Saviour of the world…. Again John who walked this earth with Jesus, and knew Him, wrote:
(I John 5:7)… There are THREE that bear record IN Heaven, THE Father, THE Word, and THE Holy Ghost… & These THREE ARE ONE… (Not one single being, but Three beings in ONE Unit, as God… AS the Church IS NOT one being but many as one unit…When you speak of the Church do you mean one being or do you mean the whole body of One Church under Christ? Well that IS God! Three Beings IN ONE UNIT, God… THE Holy THREE as the manmade word of description implies, Trinity = Three. Which Jesus testifies to in the next verse…)
(John 13:31-32) -=- Jesus said: “Now IS The Son of man ~~Glorified, and God IS glorified IN Him… IF God IS ~Glorified~ In Him, God Shall ALSO Glorify Him (Jesus).. In Himself (God The Father)…” Further Proof In Jesus Words…
(John 17:4-5)… I (Jesus) Have Glorified THEE (The Father) on the earth: I (Jesus) Have finished the ~Work~ which THOU, (The Father) gavest Me TO DO,… NOW, O Father, glorify Me with THINE OWN SELF ~~With~~ The Glory which I (Jesus) had ~~With THEE (The Father)… Before The World Was….. Can IT get any clearer..?
(Hebrews 1: 1-2) .. GOD, WHO at sundry times (Different times), and IN divers (Many) places spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets…. Hath IN THESE LAST DAYS, spoken unto us by HIS Son….. Read this whole chapter for more insight…
God The Father IS THE Architect, Jesus IS THE Master Builder, and THE Holy Ghost IS THE Comforter…. ALL Three ARE ONE IN UNITY, ONE God…
AND IF we pray our prayers TO Jesus, or Lord Jesus, we are not paying attention to the command that Jesus Gave before He Returned to His Father, nor Recognizing the Father in the Respect that Jesus said we must… READ
(John 16:23)… Jesus said: “In that day ye shall ask Me nothing, Verily, Verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask THE Father in My Name, HE Will Give IT you… Read on In the Bible…
(Matthew 6:9)… Jesus said, Pray this way: Our Father….
So we are to pray TO: The Father IN: The Name of Jesus… yet many cannot even obey this, for you hear many prayers sent up in ~your~ name or addressed to Lord Jesus, in your Name…
WHY? Why do folks not take the TIME to pray to THE Father as Jesus said and ask that The Holy Spirit guide them IN reading and learning What God the Father had penned down for us TO BE Instructed BY, The Written Word The Bible….?

Will The Circle Be Unbroken?
The *Circle of Love*, *Will the Circle be unbroken in marriage*, and in our relationship with God that IS the teachings in the Scriptures of the Bible… WE sing the song, “Will The Circle Be Unbroken In The Sky”, yet we ignorantly break it here on earth…. Why? To prove our loyalty to the country in which we live, to let our ~~Pride~~ show before men…. WHY? When God Said, and Had Written:
(Proverbs 16:18)…. Pride goeth before destruction… & An ~haughty~ spirit before a great fall… How many show that haughty spirit, at football games, in Church services one trying to be greater than the other in song or speech?
(Jeremiah 13:17)…. BUT, ~~IF~~ (Here IS that tiny Two Letter Word That carries A Great Meaning).. *IF*, ye will ~Not~ hear IT, MY Soul shall weep in secret places for ~your~ *Pride*; & Mine Eyes shall weep sore, and run down with tears, Because the LORD’S flock IS carried away captive……
Do you think that because Jesus came and gave His Earthly Life, Spilled His blood to pay the sin debt of man, THAT God the Father won’t put the people who call themselves followers of Christ, into exile again? There again IS That *IF*!
(Joshua 24:20)… *IF* ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then HE Will Turn and do you hurt, and consume you…. ~after HE hath done you good~….
Old Testament so this doesn’t apply? … Did HE God the Father not do us good when HE Sent HIS OWN Son, For God So Loved the World? (John 3:16)….. Where IS IT Written that HE Will NOT take this goodness away?… *IF* Because Paul has even warned and Peter preached from the OLD Testament Scriptures ON The Day of Pentecost…. SOOOOO Believe IT OR NOT, ~~IT~~ Applies… Maybe the *PRIDE* of modern man doesn’t recognize it because IT doesn’t fit his mould of: “All About ME” teachings…
(I Timothy 3:6)… Not a novice, lest being lifted up ~With~ *Pride* he fall into the >>Condemnation<< OF The Devil…
(I John 2:16)… FOR *ALL* that is in the world, THE *Lust* of the flesh, & of the eyes, & ~The~ *Pride* of ~~Life~~, IS Not of the Father, BUT IS OF THE WORLD..
Ever consider this verse of Scriptural Warning when you are encouraging children or adults to come and stand before the congregations IN God’s Houses of Worship, and have the people sing, “Happy Birthday” to them in honor of the number of earthly years they have been married or lived….???? Ever wonder HOW God Views this action or even care?… Just so the people are happy about themselves and their pride of accomplishments in THIS Earthly life…. IS That preparing for OR Looking forward TO, the Kingdom of God… ORRrrrr…
Ever consider What The LORD thinks of our having the small children parade the flag of the nation or country in which we live into HIS House, That we have set aside for HIS Worship, and stand and pledge their allegiance to ~~IT~~ before the Alter where we bow in prayer to God… BUT Then, do we really use that alter to give thanks to God or just ask HIM to supply our earthly greed’s?
AND Speaking OF: The Kingdom of God, are we supposed to wait for THE Kingdom to Appear on Earth before we declare our ~~Citizenship~` in IT… OR can we openly and publicly declare our citizenship in the eternal Kingdom today instead of showing pride in the earthly nation in which we live? ARE ~~WE~~ even supposed TO or do we just look for ~~IT~~ To Come as we are still looking for the antichrist to come that has been here on earth since Jesus walked among men?
(Romans 14:7)… For … *THE Kingdom* OF God, IS Not meat and drink; But Righteousness, & Peace, & Joy IN THE Holy Ghost….
(What of our eating, drinking, and being merry in seasonal parties at the Church?)
(Luke 13:18)…. Then said He, (Jesus)… “Unto ~What~ IS The Kingdom OF God like? & Whereunto shall I resemble *IT*… *IT* IS* Like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden, AND IT GREW, and waxed (or grew into) A Great Tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of IT….
SOOOOO IF we, the people, preach, teach, and share with others… “AS Jesus Said”, In: (Matthew 28: 19-20) The *Gospel OF THE Kingdom”, IT Will be Present, in the garden of our life within us and IT will grow in others by example and the leadership of Truthful teachings that we present from the Bible…. And many will come to know the LORD, God Almighty Father and HIS Son Jesus Christ, our Intercessor, High Priest, Lord and King….!
BUT! IF all we do IS promote the earthly kingdoms, nations of the world, OR if we try and straddle the fence and be loyal unto both in our religious life, then we teach to confusion and who is the father of this?
(I Thessalonians 2:12) That ye would walk worthy of God, WHO hath called you unto HIS Kingdom and Glory…. How do we walk ~~Worthy~~ of God? By chasing our tails in the world because we can‘t see a visible Kingdom in which to salute IT‘S flag and pledge our allegiance? WHO IS THE FLAG OF GOD’S KINGDOM?
(Isaiah 11:10)…. AND IN That day…there shall be a ~Root of Jesse~, which shall stand for an ~Ensign~ (A Flag; Standard; Banner) Of the people; to *IT* shall the Gentiles seek and His Rest shall be glorious….
(Luke 17:21)…Neither shall they say, “Lo here! OR, Lo there! FOR Behold, “The Kingdom OF God IS Within ….~~~you~~~….. Don’t abuse IT, don’t lose IT, Definantly Don’t Deny *IT*, by showing your pride in a worldly nation, and running about spouting about how great this earthly nation or that earthly nation is and how IT Will overcome, BECAUSE,
Nothing WILL BE, Except the LORD God Almighty Father Grant IT TO BE And IT IS Written IN HIS BOOK OF all Instruction, what shall be the end of ALL the worldly nations… SOOOooo…
Don’t teach to confusion, but let the Light of God’s Kingdom shine brightly through and in all that you do and say especially IF you are in a position of teaching and leading God’s little children IN HIS House of Worship.!!!! Jesus said: IN:
(Mark 7:20) “That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man… for from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness….foolishness… ALL these evil things come from within and defile the man….
(Matthew 22:..) Jesus said: “Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s AND unto God the things that are God’s… & in this same chapter is written the example of the guest that came into the wedding and was not dressed in the proper garments… He was cast into outer darkness… The same is in store for us *IF* we appear in the garments of worldly pride and fleshly lust of worldly customs and traditions, before the Great Throne of God while out of one side of our mouths declaring our citizenship in God’s Kingdom draped in the flag of a worldly nation….
(Isaiah 62:5) … For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee…
(Jeremiah 2:32)… Can a maid forget her ornaments or a bride her attire? YET… “MY” people have forgotten ME days without number… & (33:11)… The voice of the bride shall say, “Praise the LORD of hosts and shall bring the sacrifice of *Praise* into HIS House….”What nation, country, kingdom are we or should we be loyal to? We stand and praise the nation, salute the flag, and the leader of what ever country we dwell in… not even considering that IT Was By God’s Power, and Will that we were born in and live in that country….. Not by our own doing or the leaders of this or any other country….
AND we are compared to a marriage of a couple, a man and a woman in the scriptures, presenting Christ, THE Son of God as the Groom and the Church, the ones who are supposed to be followers of Christ as the bride……. But there is something wrong in the Church gatherings with the picture of the wedding….. The “Circle” that is to be ~~Unbroken~~….. IS Broken at every meeting by the waving of the flag of a nation standing over the cross… kinda like waving the bed sheet of an illicit affair over the wedding ceremony of a betrothed couple…
Because IT IS declaring before the entire congregation the faulting loyalty of mankind…. Yes, we are to respect and support the country in which we live, we are to render unto Caesar that which belongs to Caesar, BUT unto that which belongs to God… & AND& SINCE we have assembled IN God’s House of Worship, under the Roof that man has determined to set apart as a place for the followers of Christ to assemble and prepare for the Great Day of The Eternal Wedding to take place…. Then we should keep IT clean of ALL adulterous images….
(Isaiah 40:17)…. **ALL** nations before HIM (God The Father) are as ~nothing~, and they are counted to HIM less than nothing, and vanity…. TO WHOM then WILL ye Liken God? Or What Likeness will ye compare unto HIM?
(John 3:15) That whosoever believeth in HIM Should not perish, but have ~eternal~ life…(II Peter 3:9) … The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish , but that all should come to repentance.
AND Not that with out us HE would rather die but that HE would rather we ~~Live~~ and live our life unto HIM and not the world of Satan or man’s traditions, because HE IS Eternal, and HIS LOVE IS Everlasting, but there was a time when IT Repented God that HE had made man….
(Genesis 6: 7) the LORD Said:, “I Will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth… for IT repenteth ME that I have made them …. Again Old Testament, but New Testament speaks of ones that are going off into eternal destruction…. Rather than life… Why?
AND Since God IS ALMIGHTY and THE LORD Giveth and THE LORD taketh Away, then we do not need to become arrogant in our faith that God would not or could not live without us… BUT IT IS THE OTHER WAY AROUND, Without God we are nothing……
(Romans 6:23).. The wages of sin IS death; BUT THE Gift of God IS: eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord…. SOOOOoooo…..IF we are teaching, preaching, or claim to be sharing: THE Gospel of God’s, Son Jesus Christ, or THE: Gospel of God’s Kingdom, we’d better be found conveying *IT* from the pages of God’s Holy Written Scriptures as did Peter, Paul, and John, and not from mans, mixed up, pagan infiltrated stories, in men’s, traditions and ways…. Because IF we dare to mislead, or confuse even one child of God, and ALL of God’s created people, whether they are 1 year old or 100 years old plus, are considered ~children~, then we are found standing in the pathway of Satan’s false prophets and antichrist…Thus breaking THE “Circle of Life”…. NOT Where I want to stand do you?
(Proverbs 16:18)…. Pride goeth before destruction… & An ~haughty~ spirit before a great fall… How many show that haughty spirit, at football games, in Church services one trying to be greater than the other in song or speech?
(Jeremiah 13:17)…. BUT, ~~IF~~ (Here IS that tiny Two Letter Word That carries A Great Meaning).. *IF*, ye will ~Not~ hear IT, MY Soul shall weep in secret places for ~your~ *Pride*; & Mine Eyes shall weep sore, and run down with tears, Because the LORD’S flock IS carried away captive……

The Enemy Within
I’m not the enemy, but I could be…. Many who seem like good folk are in fact enemies of Christ… It is by choice that we serve God… or choice that we serve Mammon…. AND many who seem righteous are good at serving Mammon… because they seem such religious folk….
The good enemy will, tell you that it is okay to do as you please because the Holy Spirit won’t let you do anything that God does not approve of…. That you are held by God’s Love to do only that which IS pleasing to God…. BUT! What did The Heavenly Father have printed in the Holy Book of All Instruction for HIS people to have to follow?
(Jeremiah 32:33) “they have turned unto *ME* (THE LORD), the back, and not the face: though *I* (The LORD) taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive ~Instruction~……
(II Timothy 3:14)…. Paul writes to Timothy: “But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, ~~Knowing~~ of *Whom* thou hast learned them… (In other words, *Prove* IT),
(I John 4:1) .. Beloved, ~~Believe~~ *NOT* every spirit, BUT try the spirits, whether they are of God, ~~Because~~ MANY false prophets are gone out into the world…
(I Peter 1:7)… That *THE Trial* of ~your~ faith… might be found unto ~~Praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ….
Do you think that the trial of our loved ones faith will stand true if they have learned and we have taught that the Gospel is a myth filled with the emptiness of pagan cultural belief’s…? That Jesus only exist in the colored lights under a tree which is visited by a man in a red suit. That same man, that we have taught them is watching over them all year to prove them worthy of receiving good or bad gifts…. ? Does it make it right that we are joking about it, we know better and so that makes it okay to *Play* with our children this way?
(Luke 23:11) .. And Herod with his men of war set Him (Jesus) at naught, and ~~mocked~~ Him, and arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe….
IS this any different than portraying Jesus under a lighted tree full of pagan images? Although the bright lights are pretty the décor is gorgeous, the meaning IS THE SAME…. We are looking at a false picture instead of a truth, AS IT IS Written…. Same with the colored eggs and Easter or Estre celebrations
(Galatians 6:7)… Be not deceived; God IS NOT Mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap…(II Timothy 3: 15-17) AND that from a child thou hast known:: The Holy Scriptures, which are able TO make thee ~~Wise~~ unto *Salvation through faith**, which IS IN Christ Jesus… ALL Scripture IS given ~BY~ Inspiration of *God*, and IS profitable for ~~Doctrine~~, for reproof, for correction, ~~FOR Instruction in Righteousness…. That the ~~man~~ of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto *ALL* good *Works*….
This scripture contains much strong guiding information… Do you think?No, I am not your enemy, because I write to you and stress the things that ARE Written IN The Holy Scriptures… BUT I am considered the enemy ~~Because~~ I don’t write of things like: how beautiful a tattoo is, encourage folks to read their daily ~horoscopes~, promote the seasonal celebrations of pagan origin, lift up the god ~Mammon~ in the things that I write, rather than THE Three that are ONE UNIT, THE Father, Jehovah God, The Son, Jesus Christ, AND The Holy Spirit, The Comforter… The ONE True God in which we can be One in Unity also *IF* we read the Bible, Study to be approved, Bow down in humble obedient repentance before the Great Throne of undeserved kindness and THEN walk that narrow path of righteousness, IN faith…. Turning away from the lures of the world…. ALL This IS our choice to be or not to be…. YES! Jesus calls us, He IS The Only Way to the Father. (John 14:6).. The Father draws us and no one comes to the Son Jesus Except the Father draw him…(John 6:44).. BUT Just saying I believe is only the beginning of what we must do…. FOR There must be a complete surrender unto the Spirit, we can’t continue to walk with the world and serve God under HIS Guidance….. We must choose who we will serve and obey….. I only try to make that choice visible to those who will take the time to read: God’s Holy Written Book of ALL Instruction, THE Bible.(I Thessalonians 2:4) … But as we were ~~Allowed~~ of God to be put in *Trust* with the Gospel, even so we speak; ~~~NOT as pleasing men~~~, but God, which trieth our hearts….Sooooo…. We must tell, teach, and preach, the truth of God’s Holy Written Word, IF we stand before the people in the name of serving God and teach and speak only the Truth as IT IS Written, not fancy it up with tales and myths of colored eggs and men in red suits and the jargon of clowns and jovial settings in order to get the attention of folk to make then become members of the Church…. NO! that IS NOT our ~Commission~ from Jesus Christ God’s Son, BUT we are Instructed to do what?….
(Matthew 28:19-20)… AS Jesus said: “Go ye therefore, and teach ALL Nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy ghost, teaching them to ~~DO WHAT~~? *Observe ALL Things whatsoever I, (Jesus) have Commanded you, and lo I am with you always, even unto the end of the world….” Do we do That? OR do we teach more of the world than the Gospel, oh, we throw in a Bible verse here and there, the favorite one IS (John 3:16) to prove all things that we want to do right, but IF you read what exactly Jesus said, you realize that the word ~Believe~ means just what IS Written… IT Does not include MIX.The Father draws us to the Son, not the fun filled settings of pagan cultural traditions, and the Son IS The Way to the Father, Not the celebrations of mankind’s affairs…. Think About *IT*!You, know all throughout the Old Testament IS Written The History of God’s Chosen People, who did not remain loyal to, or keep their faces turned to God the Father, but continually kept turning away from HIM to follow pagan ways and cultures… AND For this God placed them in exile in heathen nations as slaves to punish them for their departure from HIS Way. AND God warned them uesing the little two letter word, *IF* you will abide in MY Will and Way.... Not the ways of the nations around you... Do you think that today God will not unleash that same punishment upon the people that claim to be followers of HIS Son Jesus because HE Sent HIS Son to be the sacrifice for all time? we still have a responsibility to obey.
Well, look at the nation that has called itself, God’s Country, bragging about the freedom that IT offers to serve the LORD, lifting itself up as the only country that is free from the evils of the world…. BUT what has IT done? What have the Churches that call themselves followers of Christ, done? Sold out to, turned their faces away from the ONE True God, to have fun in the lost and dying world led by the adversary of God, by mixing in the pagan cultures in their services that are supposed to be set aside to remember the very Truth of God’s Own Son, His Birth, His Crucifixion, His Resurrection, and His Ascension…. By holding egg hunts and parties of pleasure instead of teaching the truth’s of God’s Holy Written Word, many teach that the children are looking for Jesus when they are looking for a brightly colored egg that represents a fleshly birth… Think about the misguidance here… what are they being taught? To look for the flesh instead of the spiritual birth… lived in wild abandon, leaving off God’s Book of Guidance as outdated… SOOOO now the other nations are taking over lands, businesses, and bank accounts, this ~great nation~ is falling to It’s own debt of the evil thought’s of being greater than or equal to…. Who else IS going to fall for that reason? Think about it!
AND Yet the argument IS: The mind’s of young children is too tender to teach them the truth of the Bible, BUT they can be taught the truth about sex and having babies, and drinking parties, and dope that warps the mind…To dress and act like the wild abandonment of the worldly fads and trends... Something Wrong With this World? IT IS Going By THE BOOK!
The good enemy will, tell you that it is okay to do as you please because the Holy Spirit won’t let you do anything that God does not approve of…. That you are held by God’s Love to do only that which IS pleasing to God…. BUT! What did The Heavenly Father have printed in the Holy Book of All Instruction for HIS people to have to follow?
(Jeremiah 32:33) “they have turned unto *ME* (THE LORD), the back, and not the face: though *I* (The LORD) taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive ~Instruction~……
(II Timothy 3:14)…. Paul writes to Timothy: “But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, ~~Knowing~~ of *Whom* thou hast learned them… (In other words, *Prove* IT),
(I John 4:1) .. Beloved, ~~Believe~~ *NOT* every spirit, BUT try the spirits, whether they are of God, ~~Because~~ MANY false prophets are gone out into the world…
(I Peter 1:7)… That *THE Trial* of ~your~ faith… might be found unto ~~Praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ….
Do you think that the trial of our loved ones faith will stand true if they have learned and we have taught that the Gospel is a myth filled with the emptiness of pagan cultural belief’s…? That Jesus only exist in the colored lights under a tree which is visited by a man in a red suit. That same man, that we have taught them is watching over them all year to prove them worthy of receiving good or bad gifts…. ? Does it make it right that we are joking about it, we know better and so that makes it okay to *Play* with our children this way?
(Luke 23:11) .. And Herod with his men of war set Him (Jesus) at naught, and ~~mocked~~ Him, and arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe….
IS this any different than portraying Jesus under a lighted tree full of pagan images? Although the bright lights are pretty the décor is gorgeous, the meaning IS THE SAME…. We are looking at a false picture instead of a truth, AS IT IS Written…. Same with the colored eggs and Easter or Estre celebrations
(Galatians 6:7)… Be not deceived; God IS NOT Mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap…(II Timothy 3: 15-17) AND that from a child thou hast known:: The Holy Scriptures, which are able TO make thee ~~Wise~~ unto *Salvation through faith**, which IS IN Christ Jesus… ALL Scripture IS given ~BY~ Inspiration of *God*, and IS profitable for ~~Doctrine~~, for reproof, for correction, ~~FOR Instruction in Righteousness….

"IF" Obedience, Faith, Works
IT IS Preached, that man can’t be saved by his works, and that IS True. This leads many that claim to be Christian, into a state of disobedience, by convincing them, that no matter what they do, if they claim Christ, then they are saved…. SOOOooo… this gives many a false security in doing whatever they want to do and believing that IT IS Okay, because it is not the works that saves them, but their faith, and they have declared faith in Christ…
What of Noah, Abraham, Moses? Did they ~~PROVE~~ their faith by their ~~Obedient~ Work… or did they wonder on in their life skipping about in the world doing as they pleased, joining in with all the pagan cultures and beliefs, because it was fun and God still smiled on their confession of faith?
IT IS IN, this manner of confessed faith, but no works that the ball rolls on from generation to generation of disobedience to God’s Written Word, because IT IS Also taught that the Spirit leads and that IS All one needs to know… JUST Follow where THE Spirit Leads… This IS True also,… BUT this calms many into accepting what IS taught without checking it out and proving it in God’s Holy Written Word… FOR….AS IT IS WRITTEN: WE Must: AND IF we don’t read, study, and learn, then we fail and fall in ignorance….
(I John 4:1) …Believe, ~NOT~ every spirit, ~~BUT~~ try the spirits, whether they are of God: Because many false prophets are gone out into the world….
~You say, you believe in Christ, so you know you are saved, BUT how do you live?~ BY What Rule of thumb? By the customs set forth by the commercial world and freedom of following the ways of fortunes, tattooing of your bodies, attending wild parties… Folks don’t realize because of many teachings that wild parties can be carried on without alcoholic beverages, that are just as abominable to our Maker…. Even parties held for little children… ~IF~ we don’t read, study, and learn what God expects of HIS people, always….. AND
In the same way, it is a human nature to think that they are doing something good, something very touching to the fleshly heart, by having a tattoo of their dead loved one printed, painted, and cut into their skin…. BUT… read the Bible, please… IT IS NOT God’s Way, and we must overcome the fleshly ways, and seek that which IS Spiritual….. AS Jesus said:
(John 6:63)… “IT IS the spirit that quickened; the flesh profited nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, AND they ARE life….
(Leviticus 19:28)… “Ye shall not make ~~ANY~~ cuttings in your flesh for the dead, NOR print any marks upon you… I am the LORD….”
The heathen peoples cut themselves, painted their bodies, but God commanded HIS children TO NOT, do this… and HIS Command stands Today, and forever…… SO if we claim to be a Christian, a follower of God’s OWN Son… then we will not paint our bodies all over with tattoo’s for any reason, nor cut holes in our flesh with rings and sticks.(Galatians 2:29)… I am crucified ~With~ Christ: nevertheless I live, yet not I, BUT Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the *faith* of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me….
So IF Christ LIVETH in you, why do you disobey, THE Father’s Written Word, and HIS Command to follow HIS Laws and Statutes…. ?
(Deuteronomy 6: 5-9)… Thou shalt ~~LOVE~~ THE LORD thy God, with ~~ALL~~ thine heart, soul, and might, & these words which I command thee this day, shall BE IN thine heart.. AND thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, talk of them, in thine house, walking by the way, lying down, rising up, ~~BIND~~ them for a *SIGN* upon thine hand, they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes, ~~WRITE~~ them upon the posts of thy house and thy gates.
(John 6:44) … ~~No man~ can come to Me, except the Father ~~Which~~ hath *Sent* Me draw him: and I Will raise him up at the last day… &
(John 14:6) … Jesus said: “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: ~no man~ cometh unto the Father, but by Me… AND
(John 14:26)… THE Comforter, ~Which IS THE Holy Ghost~, WHOM the Father will send ~~IN~~ My Name, He shall ~Teach~ you *ALL* things, and bring *ALL* things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you….. BUT you know what?
There IS A LITTLE TWO LETTER WORD, Written in God’s Holy Book, THAT Packs a Mighty Big Wallop of Power…BUT many that read the Scriptures and speak out on them, somehow overlook this tiny ~~WORD~~ and miss the ~Impact~ that it gives to the Scriptures of Guidance.. Read Just a few verses which ~IT~ Brings great meaning to.
**IF** therefore ~ye have ~~NOT~~ been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? (Luke 16:11)
**IF** I (Jesus Christ) have told you earthly things, and ye ~believe~ NOT, how shall ye believe, **IF** I tell you of heavenly things???? (John 3:12)
**IF** ye ~~Believe~~ NOT his writings, How shall ye ~~Believe My Words? (John 5:47) & (John 10:37)…..**IF** I (Jesus) do ~Not~ the works of My Father, believe Me Not….
SOOOOOooooo… It kinda stands to reason…. That **IF ** we are to look at the Works That Jesus did, and judge whether to believe Him or not ~~BY Example of His Works that they were of His Father, *THEN* … Are we not to be looked at also and judged by the ~~Example~~ of our works.. Whether they be of God’s Will and Way… OR… of our own led by a world in Satan’s grasp?
And when we stand with one hand on the Bible and walk with both feet in the world of pagan cultural traditions… What example are we setting forth… ???
(Luke 16:13)… No man can serve two masters… “Ye Cannot serve God and mammon”!
(Titus 1:16)… They profess that they know God, but in works they deny HIM, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate…
(Leviticus 18:30)… Therefore shall ye keep Mine Ordinance, That ye commit ~NOT~ any of these *Abominable* ~~Customs~~, which were committed before you, and that ye ~~Defile~~ NOT~~ yourselves therein::: I am the LORD your God….
How many customs do we knowingly follow and even mix in with the Bible Accounts of Christ the Son of The Living Eternal God, that does not change… HIS Expectations of mankind’s obedience to HIS Will and Way are set and firm….. Nowhere in HIS Written Book of ALL Instruction for man to follow IS IT Found that God changed HIS Mind and allowed man the freedom to ~~walk as they please in the world and still maintain their place in God’s Kingdom~~….
(II Chronicles 7: 19-20)…BUT *IF* ye turn away…. *AND* forsake MY Statutes & Commandments, which I have set before you, … I Will cast out of My Sight,…AND make a proverb and a by word among ALL nations…
(Hebrews 6: 6) **IF** they shall ~Fall~ away… That little word if used here tells us that yes we can fall out of God’s Grace ~~~IF~~~ we don’t walk in HIS Will and Way, according to HIS Commandments…….
Just like we ~~Love~~ our children, *IF* they do not obey, then we must punish them and *IF* they chose to turn their backs on the LORD, then we cannot make them do otherwise, neither will the LORD make them, or us do anything, but HE Will give us a choice to obey or disobey, until the end shall come…… Then wherever we stand that IS where we are sealed…..
(Romans 2: 5-9)… revelation of the ~~Righteous Judgment of God… WHO Will render TO: ~Every man; ~According~ to his deeds…. TO: “Them” who by patient..~~Continuance~~ in well doing, seek for glory, honor, and immortality, eternal… *Life**: BUT, unto them that are contentious, and ~~Obey NOT~~ the truth, ~~Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil…..
AND What IS Evil? Disagreeable; malicious, even …the state of disobedience because one refuses to do that which IS Right… and what is sin? A shameful transgression, which comes full circle into…an evil act of sinful disobedience…., Faith IS proven by ~Obedience~ and Obedience IS ~Evidence~ of Faith… Obedient Faith leads TO Works that are Acceptable Thus by faithful works in Christ we prove ourselves.
What of Noah, Abraham, Moses? Did they ~~PROVE~~ their faith by their ~~Obedient~ Work… or did they wonder on in their life skipping about in the world doing as they pleased, joining in with all the pagan cultures and beliefs, because it was fun and God still smiled on their confession of faith?

THE BIBLE, IS IT Necessary?
What IS IT that IS by some claimed the most; feared; despised; revered; ignored; deemed useless; praised highly; misused; attempted to change to fit modern times, most popular *BOOK* ever written? AND YET IT contains the most life saving information mankind will ever, EVER FIND!
There IS no end to the printing of: Medical Journals; How To Do Books; Marriage Guides; How To Live Happy, Peaceful Lives, What Happens When We Die, and yet with all mans writings and instructions, there IS NONE that compares to THE: *Divinely Inspired, Written Word OF God, That HE Had Penned Down BY, The prophets and the apostles…… IT IS AN Everlasting History Book, IT IS ALL Instruction that mankind needs for health, wealth, happiness, How TO: live life here on this earth to please THE LIVING GOD , that Created ALL things, we included, THE God that knows all, sees all, THE GOD that gives life and takes life, AND IS IN Control OF ALL Things…..
AND YET! Most folks will not even read THE VERY BOOK, that introduces us to THIS Wonderful Creator…. WHY?
Oh, many claim that the: “Dead Sea Scrolls” that were found, containing scriptures dating back to 200 years before Christ walked on this earth, that should have decayed with time many years before their revealed existence in 1947, were just preserved because of the weather conditions in that area, and it is really nothing more than coincidence that they correspond with the Written Scriptures of the Original King James Version of the Holy Writings of God’s Word, so the Bible IS all just accidental… But they don’t seem to see the *Power* of God working here even……Because….
Many are filled up with themselves from the time that they are little wee ones… IT IS man’s way of making folk feel good about themselves… “You are Special”; “You are Somebody”; “You can do what YOU want to do and IT IS Good”; WE are taught from childhood that the world revolves around us…. Because IT makes people more productive and helps them to have a better outlook on life here in the flesh, so IT IS A Good thing right? Then as adults it is preached to us that we can do all things because Christ lives in us and what we do IS great, because God would let us do no wrong….
BUT there IS The Rest of The story Always…..
True Christ lives in us IF: There IS A Big, unrecognized by many, *IF*, Truly Written in the Bible. A ~~BUT~~ that we seem to overlook always…. Because ~~WE~~ Must live IN Christ….. We MUST Follow, NOT attempt to Lead Christ…
AND IN ORDER TO DO: The Works, pleasing to God, we must READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.
True as many complain, “Well, I don’t read the Bible, Because. I just don’t understand what IT IS Saying, BUT I AM a Christian, and I know I am saved because the Spirit leads me so I don’t need to read the Bible……. OH, My….. What did Paul warn of? Try the spirits…..
Once saved always saved? Choice? Until when?
Not saved by works…. BUT… faith without works IS Dead! SOOOOOO…… WE gotta do the ~Works~ that is pleasing to God…
(James 2-26)… man may say, “Thou hast faith, & I have works:” shew me thy faith without thy works, && I will shew thee my faith, by my works… “wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works IS Dead?” “FOR AS the body without the spirit IS dead, so faith without works IS Dead also….
AND That work that keeps your faith alive and proves where you stand IS the Works done IN Christ, IN The Doctrine of Christ, according to: AS IT IS Written, teaching The Gospel of the Kingdom and The Gospel of God’s Only Begotten Son to a lost and dying world, showing charity, to those in need those who are widows, loving thy neighbor as thyself, not the works done in the traditions of mankind’s, pagan rituals and party times of celebrations. (Another thing carried on in the Churches to make people feel good about themselves, rather then feeding the masses Biblical Truth’s That guide them into the peaceful existence in the True Faith of God.)
(James 2: 8-10)… *IF* ye fulfill the ~~Royal Law~~ According TO: THE Scripture, “Thou shalt ~~LOVE~~ thy neighbor as thyself… having respect to persons, ye commit sin… whosoever keep the whole law and yet offend in one point, he IS guilty of all…. WHY? Because he has committed THE Sin: OF *Disobedience*. HOW do we learn full Obedience TO God’s Will & Way? IT IS Written in THE HOLY SCRIPTURES…. SOOOO
IF we spin our wheels and honk our horns about being a Christian and we wouldn’t touch a drink of alcohol with a ten foot pole, but we run out and grab the daily horoscope to see what our day is going to be like, for fun or in sincerity, or we run down to the nearest tattoo parlor and have a picture cut and painted into our flesh, then we ~~HAVE~~ disobeyed our LORD and Master’s Commandments and stand in opposition to HIS Will and Way, which puts us where?….. There are only two paths, and IF we have stepped OFF of the Straight Path, then we are walking in the broad and spacious path that leads to eternal destruction with the one who rebelled against God in the beginning, Satan, the Devil, the Serpent. This IS Called: Choice. BUT we must be prepared to accept the results of our choice of action.
(James 2: 21-24)… Abraham was justified by What? … *Works*… HOW? When? When he proved obedient to God the Father by following Gods order to sacrifice his son Issac… He proved his faith by believing strongly in God, that if he indeed offered up his only son, God could and would make IT Right, and this was imputed to Abraham for righteousness and he was called the friend of God….. SOOOOO, ye see then how that by works a man is justified and not by faith only….. BUTTTTT ….
We gotta walk by faith IN Jesus Christ… and we gotta believe IN THE Father, the Son, & The Holy Ghost….. AND in all this God still gives us choice and IF we are not stayed up in the Power OF His Written Word, THE Sword of life, then we are most miserable of all, because we are stumbling around in the darkness of a blinded faith imposed by Satan, leading us to believe in the beautiful miracles of false prophets and the subtle teachings of the antichrist..
(I John 4: 1- 16) …
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but ~try~ the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. He that loveth not, knoweth not God; for God IS LOVE… God sent HIS Only Begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.. To be a propitiation for our sins…. Whosoever shall ~~Confess~~ that Jesus IS the Son of God, God dwelleth in him and he in God….
(John 3:5) … Jesus answered, “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and (as in also, to, plus) OF The Spirit, he ~~Cannot~~ enter into the… *Kingdom of God* .
(John 14:26) … But the Comforter, which IS The Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My Name, He shall teach you ~~all things~~ , and bring ALL things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you….
(I Thessalonians 5: 21)… *PROVE* ALL things, hold fast that which IS good, abstain from ~~ALL~~ appearance of evil… (What IS evil? The sin of disobedience, even the all about me, myself attitude)
(Revelation 1:2-11) … Jesus, when He appeared to John on Patmos, instructed him to do what?
“I am Alpha & Omega, THE First and the Last: AND What thou seest, *Write* IN A *BOOK*, and (DO What with IT?) Send IT unto the seven Churches…. Why?
Blessed IS he that…~Readeth~~~ and they that hear the *Words* of this prophesy & and & ~Keep~ those things which ARE Written therein…. For the time IS AT Hand…
So for those that declare that all the references to: “The Word” written in the Bible is in reference to the Body of Jesus, all I can say IS read the Bible please….. Yes Jesus IS THE Word, He IS The Messenger, He IS the Angel as well as The Son of THE LORD God Almighty, but God had written and preserved a *BOOK* of ALL Instruction for HIS children to read, learn, share, and use that we might prove ourselves obedient and strongly standing on The Holy Ground in the day of trial, which IS the days that we live our lives here on this earth.
(Proverbs 3: 1-7) .. “Forget NOT MY *LAW*, BUT let thine heart ~Keep MY Commandments~… Let not mercy and truth forsake thee, bind them about thy neck, write them upon the table of thine heart… Trust In the LORD with ~~ALL~ thine heart and lean not unto thine ~~own~~ understanding… IN ~~ALL~~ thy ways acknowledge HIM, & HE shall direct thy paths…. Be ~Not~ wise in thine ~~own~~ eyes:: Fear The LORD and depart from evil…..
There IS no end to the printing of: Medical Journals; How To Do Books; Marriage Guides; How To Live Happy, Peaceful Lives, What Happens When We Die, and yet with all mans writings and instructions, there IS NONE that compares to THE: *Divinely Inspired, Written Word OF God, That HE Had Penned Down BY, The prophets and the apostles…… IT IS AN Everlasting History Book, IT IS ALL Instruction that mankind needs for health, wealth, happiness, How TO: live life here on this earth to please THE LIVING GOD , that Created ALL things, we included, THE God that knows all, sees all, THE GOD that gives life and takes life, AND IS IN Control OF ALL Things…..
AND YET! Most folks will not even read THE VERY BOOK, that introduces us to THIS Wonderful Creator…. WHY?
Oh, many claim that the: “Dead Sea Scrolls” that were found, containing scriptures dating back to 200 years before Christ walked on this earth, that should have decayed with time many years before their revealed existence in 1947, were just preserved because of the weather conditions in that area, and it is really nothing more than coincidence that they correspond with the Written Scriptures of the Original King James Version of the Holy Writings of God’s Word, so the Bible IS all just accidental… But they don’t seem to see the *Power* of God working here even……Because….
Many are filled up with themselves from the time that they are little wee ones… IT IS man’s way of making folk feel good about themselves… “You are Special”; “You are Somebody”; “You can do what YOU want to do and IT IS Good”; WE are taught from childhood that the world revolves around us…. Because IT makes people more productive and helps them to have a better outlook on life here in the flesh, so IT IS A Good thing right? Then as adults it is preached to us that we can do all things because Christ lives in us and what we do IS great, because God would let us do no wrong….
BUT there IS The Rest of The story Always…..
True Christ lives in us IF: There IS A Big, unrecognized by many, *IF*, Truly Written in the Bible. A ~~BUT~~ that we seem to overlook always…. Because ~~WE~~ Must live IN Christ….. We MUST Follow, NOT attempt to Lead Christ…
AND IN ORDER TO DO: The Works, pleasing to God, we must READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.
True as many complain, “Well, I don’t read the Bible, Because. I just don’t understand what IT IS Saying, BUT I AM a Christian, and I know I am saved because the Spirit leads me so I don’t need to read the Bible……. OH, My….. What did Paul warn of? Try the spirits…..
Once saved always saved? Choice? Until when?
Not saved by works…. BUT… faith without works IS Dead! SOOOOOO…… WE gotta do the ~Works~ that is pleasing to God…
