When you meet someone for the first time, that you believe will be a good ~Friend~, what do you do? You want TO Get TO Know Them, everything about them, spend ~Time~ with them… Right?
Well, *IF* you have really met Jesus, been led by the Spirit, Drawn BY God The Father, (John 6:44) ..TO Christ The Son, and desire to get to know Him then you must come to ~Know~ The Father also.. HOW do we ~Get TO Know~ Jesus Christ, The Son of: God The Father? READ! Study! LEARN!
(John 6:45).. *IT IS Written*, IN THE Prophets, AND they shall be ~ALL~ taught OF God… Every man therefore that hath ~Heard~, and ~Hath Learned~ OF The Father, cometh unto Me!
AND Because you can’t come to The Father ~Except~ by The WAY, (John 14:6) The Son, IT IS Necessary That one gets to ~Know~ Christ as a personal ~Friend~!
My family is of the Christian belief, so that makes me a Christian, right? OR, *IF* I call myself a Christian, then that means that I accepted Christ and I AM A Christian… BUT *IF* I still have to tell folks that I AM A Christian, IS Something missing, something wrong?
What IS A True Christian? According TO: The Greek Lexicon: A Christian IS: A follower of Christ! Not a follower of tradition, religion, or anything of this world…
How do we follow Christ? First we ~Must~ know Him in order to follow Him… AND IF we follow Him then surely we must obey Him… AND IF we are to know WHO we are following and obeying then IT IS Very relevant that we know, so as TO Openly & Honestly Claim: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost, in order to even offer up our prayers of thanks…
SO with just this paragraph of thought are we still sure that we are ~A~ Christian? Have we weighed out the measure of getting Acquainted with our Savior now, as opposed to meeting The Sovereign in eternity? AND YES, we will meet Christ one day in one way or another, on one side or the other… AS Jesus SAID:
(John 5: 28-29) .. “Marvel Not at this, for the hour IS Coming, in which ~ALL~ that are in the graves shall hear His Voice, 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.” Damnation = eternal punishment.
Why IS It important for our eternal salvation? Just believing that Jesus came and died on the cross for us that IS ALL that we need to know isn’t IT? Then Christ just automatically moves into our hearts and leads us where ever He sees fit that we should go.. That IS what is mainly preached, but What DID The LORD have written for us to Read, Learn, that we should ~Know~ & Follow?
Properly Identifying, JEHOVAH, The I AM THAT I AM, (Exodus 3:14) AS God The Father, The *FIRST* Person of The Godhead, AND Jesus Christ, The Son of God, The Lamb, The Word, AS The *Second* Person of The Godhead, and The Holy Ghost, The Comforter, The Holy Spirit, as The *Third* Person of The *Unit OF One* Eternally Ruling God, IS a very important factor when IT comes down to our being able to maintain, our “faith to obedience to God’s Written commands.” WHY?
Oh, some folks will tell you ~ “don’t worry, because Jesus does IT ALL if you just claim His Name~”… Really? What does The Written Word of Instruction Tell US we must do? Most folks quote (Romans 10:9) or part of IT and omit the most important instruction.. Which IS: Believe, in thine ~heart~ that God hath raised Him (Christ) from the dead, thou shalt be saved… this after confessing with our mouth The Lord Jesus … and then
(Romans 8:11)… BUT *IF* The Spirit OF HIM that raised up Jesus from the dead ~Dwell~ in you…. There are three Entities mentioned here..
Very Important to Get the rest of the whole story here always….
(John 1: 1)… In the beginning was the ~~Word~~ and The Word, ~Was~ With God, and The Word was God. The ~Same~ Was In the Beginning *With* God. --- How IS This Possible? To be God & also be with God?
This very verse has caused a lot of controversy about the Biblical Scriptures, BUT IF Only one would take the time to prayerfully examine and study the Scriptures, AS IT IS Written, and not mans interpretations of them, the “Light” will be revealed to all who earnestly and sincerely seek. BUT we gotta put aside the belief’s of religious sects, what our friends and relations ~Think~ and seek The Pure Word of God, under the Divine Guidance of The Holy Spirit…. REMEMBER IT IS Personal!
John The Baptist was also the fleshly cousin of Jesus Christ, (Luke 1:36) and he knew Him, as well as anyone could… But John was also under the Guided Direction of: JEHOVAH, Almighty God The Father TO:
(John 1: 6b-7) .. A man ~Sent~ from God, whose name was John, TO: “Bear ~witness~ OF The “Light”, that ~ALL~ men through him might believe…
(John 1: 18)…NO man hath ~Seen~ God at any time; only The Begotten Son, which IS IN The Bosom of The Father, He hath declared HIM… (19) AND, this is the record of John… (29) .. and the next day John identified Jesus Saying: “Behold, The Lamb OF God, which taketh away the sin of the world….”
(Notice IT IS NOT Written: God, IS The Lamb, But The Lamb OF God.)
The `Greek` form of *Word*, IS Logos… meaning: Of speech, a word, uttered by a ~living~ Voice, embodies a conception or idea, something said, “the saying OF God”, decree, mandate an order, of the moral precepts given by God… among others… OF Interest IS the fact that in John, IT essentially denotes the, “Word OF God”, HIS *Minister* IN the creation of the universe, in the bringing forth of ~~ALL~~ life upon the earth, bringing to fruition of the fulfillment of God’s Plan of Salvation for man upon the earth in the embodiment of The Messiah, Jesus Christ, the ~second~ person of The Godhead.
Notably, Heraclitus, a Greek philosopher first used the term, “Logos” around 600 B.C. to designate The Divine Reason or Plan which coordinates a changing universe. This word was well suited to John’s purpose as he wrote down the Scriptures of John 1:.…
Also notably interesting IS The Fact that An Angel IS: A Messenger of God.. And Jesus IS referred to AS: The Angel OF God .. (Rev. 1:1) (Gen. 48:16) (Exodus 14:19 & 32:34) among many other scriptures.
What do the capital letters> LORD mean? IT IS The proper NAME for “THE Existing “One” True God.” Which IS JEHOVAH. NOW!
What does the word > AM mean? To exist, to be in existence… I, IS Singular as in the First Person… AS me, my.. NOT we us, AND Since God IS A Unit of Three that ARE ONE, when a single inference IS Made by a Single Name IT IS OF or To, ~ONE~ Single Person OF The Godhead, Not All Three…
For Instance when Jesus Directed His followers TO Pray TO: The Father, He was referring to ONE The First Person OF The Godhead, not to Himself, Because He went on to declare that they pray in His Name, which IS Why we must direct our prayers to the Father, in Jesus Name… Another very good reason IS, Jesus Said, DO IT, and we Must Obey IT…
Do we really believe what Jesus, Himself said in:
(John 8:28).. “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.”
I am He, WHO? The Great I AM THAT I AM, The Father, That Sent HIS Son Jesus, The Word To be born of flesh…? When Jesus said: “Before Abraham was I am, in (John 8:58).. He in no way indicated that He was the Great I AM… It is written differently even, and yet so many want to take that one sentence and make Jesus, TO BE God The Father, placing themselves in the position of an antichrist, because they are in actuality, disclaiming BOTH, The Father and The Son. (I John 2:22)
Another note to consider IS: God The Father *Always* Does The Sending, HE IS Never Sent! Jesus Christ IS Sent By The Father, AND SO IS The Holy Ghost… SO there IS clearly a line of Proper Position….
Just as the people then did not understand that Jesus was speaking to them of His Father, so many folks today deny The Father and claim only the Son… This IS NOT what Jesus Taught or said that we should do. Throughout the Bible we see Written evidence of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost, and we must claim ALL AS IT IS Written..
(Revelation 21:22-23) .. John who walked with Jesus was told by Jesus to write what he saw, and he wrote: “I saw no temple therein, For The Lord God Almighty, AND The Lamb are the temple of IT. AND the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it, FOR The Glory of God Did Lighten IT, and The Lamb is the Light thereof.”
A Good Example can and should be taken from the writings of:
(John 5:18).. When the Jews sought to kill, Jesus, WHY? .. Not only because He had broken The Sabbath, as they claimed IT, ~BUT~ Jesus had also Said: “That God was His *Father*,” thus making Himself (not greater than or the same as: BUT) ~equal~ with God…
Equal meaning: having the same qualities & quantities, evenly balanced in the ~Same Purpose~…
Now give some serious thought to this verse of scripture as you go back and ~Read~ (John 1:1)… &
(II John 1:9)… whosoever transgresseth, and abideth NOT in the *Doctrine* OF Christ, hath NOT God.. He that ~Abideth IN The Doctrine of Christ, he hath both The Father and The Son….
What IS The “Doctrine OF Christ”? *IT IS*, His teachings! AND How can we follow The teachings of someone that we don’t know?

Trust: Where Does Our Trust Really Lie?
What do we put our ~Trust~ IN? Listen, to people speak, Read what they write, and IT will be very visible where the seat of their thoughts lie, and where their trust IS truly placed… But in that we cannot judge others, we still must walk the path of righteousness and Stand firmly upon God’s Word… AND even though others seem to wander, we must remain strong, Because God Demands our Faithful Obedience unto HIM and not to a lost and dying world.. So through ~~Trust~ comes ~Faith~ and through Faithful Trust comes ~Obedience~ Only TO The LORD, Because IN Whom we Put our Trust, we Prove Obedient TO….
How Much ~Emphasis on “Trust”, “Faith”, and “Obedience” IS found written IN The Bible? AND What ~Influence does the Bible have on “Trust, Faith, and Obedience”? READ *IT* Please, for yourself!
(Romans 10:17)… “So then ~Faith~ cometh *BY* hearing, AND ~Hearing~ *BY* “The Word OF God.”
NOW Think About This Verse seriously!
(Romans 6:17).. Know ye not, that TO whom ~ye~ yield yourselves servants TO Obey, his servants ~Ye ARE~ to whom ye obey; whether OF sin unto death, or of ~~Obedience~~ unto *Righteousness*?
(Psalm 118:8)… IT IS Better to trust in the LORD than to put ~Confidence~ in man….
Are you guilty of listening to an instructor of The Gospel, and not Reading The Bible for yourself, checking out what you hear, proving the speaker? OR are you guilty of deciding what IS Right by your ~OWN~ sense of good and bad? Like Eve did in deciding that the fruit would not be harmful, but beneficial, in agreement with the serpent?
(Proverbs 3:5) .. Trust IN THE LORD, with ~ALL~ thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding…
(Psalm 40:4) .. Blessed IS that man that maketh The LORD his ~trust~, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies…
Have we not already established that the way mankind has laced the Biblical Accounts of The ~Birth~ Crucifixion ~ and ~Resurrection~ of Christ IS nothing more than fabled tales and ~little~ lies… IS a little lie right in the eyes of God? Yet man has turned aside to them in most all of the Churches, and Church Sanctioned events…
(Luke 12:28).. *IF* then God so clothe the grass, which IS today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will HE clothe you, “O, ye *OF* Little ~~Faith~~…
Why are we of such little ~Faith~ , because we have a lack of ~~Trust~~, why do we have a lack of ~~Trust~~, Because we do not take seriously THE WRITTEN WORD OF God, but attempt to add to and take away from the True Written Accounts and Promises of God, by adding in the fabled teachings of the vanities of mankind and pagan customs, to MAKE IT Fun, and Interesting IN OUR OWN Opinionated eyes… Yet we claim to have received Gods Saving Grace… Read on!
(Psalm 31:6).. I have hated them that regard lying vanities: But I *Trust* in THE LORD.
(Romans 1:5)… (Christ The Son OF God) .. By whom we have received apostleship, (HOW?) For *Obedience* TO *Faith* among ~ALL~ nations for HIS Name. (Not a pagan go or goddess, or our own!)
(Romans 16: 25b-26) .. The ~Preaching OF Jesus Christ, According TO the Revelation of the Mystery which was kept secret since the world began, BUT, Now IS made manifest, and BY The ~~Scriptures~~ of The Prophets, According TO The ~Commandment~ of The Everlasting God, *Made Known to ~ALL Nations~ for the ~Obedience of Faith~*.
How many areas of our life do we prove or show our faithful, trusting obedience TO God?
(Psalm 44:6).. For I will ~Not~ *Trust* in my bow, neither shall my sword save me…
(Isaiah 12:2) .. Behold, God IS my Salvation; I Will ~Trust~, and not be afraid: FOR THE LORD JEHOVAH IS my strength and my song; HE also IS Become my ~Salvation~… (JEHOVAH God The Father OF The Son Jesus Christ.)
(Proverbs 29:25) .. The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust IN THE LORD shall be safe.
(Proverbs 30:5) .. Every Word OF God IS Pure: HE IS A Shield unto them that put their ~Trust~ IN HIM.
(Jeremiah 7:4-).. ~Trust~ ye NOT in lying words, saying , “The Temple OF THE LORD”, are these, FOR *IF* ye thoroughly amend your ways, and your doings; ~~BUT~~ (8).. Ye ~Trust~ in lying words, that cannot profit--(9).. And walk after other gods whom ye know not; (10).. And come and stand before ME in THIS House, which IS Called By MY NAME, and say we are delivered to do all these abominations?
Think seriously about this whole passage after reading IT IN The Bible.. What kind of ~Lying Words~ doe we bring into The Sanctuaries where we gather to worship the LORD IN Spirit and Truth, and yet we claim that through Jesus Christ, God’s Son we are free to interject all the false tales and fables into the Truly Written Accounts That The LORD had penned down for us to read, and follow… A ~Lie IS A Lie~ no matter how small or great… IT bears the same punishment!
(Isaiah 31:1)… WOE.. To them that go down to Egypt for help, and ~Stay~ on horses, and ~Trust~ in chariots, BECAUSE, they are many, and in horsemen, and very strong, BUT Look NOT Unto THE Holy ONE OF Israel, Neither Seek The LORD!
How often have you seen posted, “Give Thanks to the troops, support them because ~~THEY~~ have kept us free, and safe?” OR “IT IS the duty of the President TO keep this country safe, elect a good one and we will be fine!” This Nation IS THE Best place to live, Because IT Has the biggest, best, most efficient armed forces, well trained in defending this country…
Yet What is ~The Message That God Gave us IN HIS Written Word?
(Psalm 20:7).. Some ~Trust~ in chariots, and some in horses: BUT we Will Remember THE NAME OF THE LORD our God!
(Micah 7: 5) .. *TRUST*, ye ~NOT~ In a ~friend~, put ye ~Not Confidence~ in a guide:… (6).. A man’s ~enemies~ are the men of his own house… (7)..Therefore I Will ~LOOK~ unto THE LORD; I Will Wait for THE LORD OF my Salvation: my God Will Hear me.
(I Thessalonians 2:4)…BUT as we were ~Allowed~ OF God, to be in ~Trust~ with The Gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, BUT God, which ~Trieth~ our hearts.
When we post foolish messages, like “Share IF you Love God, Keep on scrolling IF you love the devil” what have we really done toward giving a testimony of God‘s Kingdom, Jesus Christ HIS Son, OR The Love of THE LORD? Things like this look good only to those who really don’t want to take a complete Stand for The LORD, but Want to give an impression of being religiously right. We claim To lift God up, but in the next comment we are lifting up the weapons of war and those that brandish them as great. IT IS This ~mindset~ that falls for anything because we don’t take the ~~Time~~ TO “LOOK”, “Consider”, Where our *Trust* lies, and Why.. And we don’t spend our time reading and learning the needed scriptures to build up the *Trust* IN our Maker That Builds our *Faith* to *Trust*, that leads TO: “Humble Obedience” TO our Father’s Commands. AS Jesus Said:
(Luke 16:11).. *IF* therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust THE TRUE Riches?
If we can’t stand strong for THE LORD IN HIS Will and Way, before mammon, how can we be trusted with THE True Gospel? IF we take part in the rituals and fabrications of fairy tale customs and pagan celebrations, and declare that we are Christians so that delivers us to the freedom in Christ to do these things, who in heaven or earth IS going to believe our testimony, when IT changes with the seasons, and holidays of mans traditions?
How Much ~Emphasis on “Trust”, “Faith”, and “Obedience” IS found written IN The Bible? AND What ~Influence does the Bible have on “Trust, Faith, and Obedience”? READ *IT* Please, for yourself!
(Romans 10:17)… “So then ~Faith~ cometh *BY* hearing, AND ~Hearing~ *BY* “The Word OF God.”
NOW Think About This Verse seriously!

Ancestry Reunion
Sometimes I sit and ponder just how wonderful it would be,
To have all the family gathered in for a sort of ~anniversary~.
A Reunion of all the members that have passed along in time,
Generations of ancestors together, wouldn’t it be a glorious time?
To sit together talking free, asking questions,
Of all the things they knew before.
The way the earth and customs have changed,
OF old family ties, and ways, of yore.
IT Would be so refreshing to hear all about
The kith and kin long gone away,
IF Only their laughter, banter, and loving ways
Could be shared with all of us for just one day.
But then most likely we’d not want that day to end,
We’d want that they should stay overnight,
But then a lifetime of thoughts and memories
Just couldn’t be reflected over night.
So for now we can only hope for a time
When we shall all meet together in sight
Until that day we must strive to stay
Upon the pathway that IS IN THE Light.
Waiting on that Eternal ~Promise~
Trusting IN our Father in Heaven Above
Spreading The Gospel of Jesus Christ, HIS Son,
Faithfully Sharing God’s Wondrous ~LOVE~…

What ~MUST~ One Do To Be Saved?
I hear and read so may times the words of preachers and teachers, That *IF* you want to be saved just `~ask;~ “Lord Jesus, come into my heart,” and ye shall be saved… Just a ~Simple~ statement sorta like ordering a burger at the local drive-in, in a matter of fact way…Kinda like just take IT for granted that Jesus will do what we ask just because we ask IT… IS this really what The Bible Teaches? IS This Really ~ALL~ that there IS TO IT?
As A child I was taught adamantly that Eve ate the apple, and as an unread, unstudied adult I adamantly taught the same… SO It goes on and on with the teaching of a lie, because we don’t ~~READ~~ the Bible for ourselves, study to show ourselves approved, before God and man…
(II Timothy 2:15).. And in rightly dividing the scriptures we learn to teach in The Truth and Honesty that God The Father first had the Bible penned down in. AS The Son of God ~Testified TO~…
(Read all of Proverbs chapters 2 & 3) all good scriptural instructions and then Jesus SAID:
(John 7:38) .. “He that ~believeth~ on Me, *AS The Scripture* Hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water….”
Living waters that flow with the institution of life eternal by bringing others to Christ so that they can with a repentant heart follow Him in Truth and Honesty, NOT leading them deeper into, The stagnant waters of the mire and muck of the world and its way…
(John 8:21-32).. “*IF* ye continue ~IN~ My Word, then are ye My disciples indeed, AND ye shall know ~The Truth~, and the truth shall make you free.”
How can we learn all that we need to know about Jesus and the Promises that He gave from His Father to us? By sitting and listening to someone speak, or reading the writings of man, accepting their words and getting up and going merrily about our life as though we are saved in and by the word of man? Does this prove faith in Christ? OR man?
So very many folks, will stand and proudly announce that they are ~Christians~, BUT, ask them a Biblical Related Question, and most times the answer you will get IS:, “I really don’t know what the Bible has to say about that, BUT, IN MY Opinion, IT IS OR Should be this way or that.” “I really haven’t read about that in the Bible, because THE Bible IS SO Hard to understand, and I just don’t have the time to sit down and read the Bible, BUT I AM A Christian and I attend regular Church Services and listen to the messages that the preacher brings us.. After all that IS his job and that IS what we pay him for, is to read and study the Bible and bring us THE WORD…” Therefore we put our trust in a paid for job of a man instead of Christ from the git-go. SO IN Reality we shouldn’t call ourselves Christians, meaning followers of Christ, but rather followers of man..
BUT, listen to their praise of the ~books~ that they do find the time to read.. “Secret Loves”, “Left Behind Series”, “Modern Man/Woman”.. This IS visible proof of where the thoughts of many “Christians” dwell, and not on The Gospel OF Christ, so the ignorance that they prove IS: self inflicted, even purposed by neglect and actual denial of The Kingdom OF God…
I Hope and Pray that ~ALL~ people, will realize that man IS fallible and can speak and write misleading information, whether on purpose, or unknowing, SO we must prove mans words by, Gods Book of ALL Instruction…for ourselves.. Not sit idly by and take for granted what IS spoken or written by modern man as, truth..
Always search out the older versions of The Bible, because any Bible that was printed in the late 1800s or 1900s has been changed to reflect ~Modern Day~ teachings that watered the truths, changed words, omitted and added to the ancient scriptures that were written under the Divine Guidance of The Holy Spirit… Writers today are for the most part, just that writers of entertainment AND for ~Profit~… The few that may write under the Guiding Hand of Christ, are mostly rejected as heretics…. BUT prayerfully and carefully searching the scriptures can ~~Prove~~ Gods Word OF Truth….
(Galatians 3:22) … BUT the *Scriptures* hath concluded ~~ALL~ under sin, that the ~Promise~ by faith OF Jesus Christ, Might be given to them that ~Believe~…
(Romans 10:8- 17) … BUT What saith IT? The word IS nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that *IS*, The word of ~Faith~, which we ~~Preach~~.. (Faith in what? The ways of man in the customs of the world?) … (9).. That *IF* thou shalt confess with thy mouth The Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that, *God* hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved…(17) ..SO Then ~~Faith~~ Cometh BY Hearing, (*BUT*) and ~Hearing~ BY THE WORD OF God… SO IF we don’t know what IS Written in The Word of God, how can we be assured that the message that falls upon our ears IS Truth or fiction… Because, many fables tend to get added into the Gospel through the teachings of man… (But in actuality, what IS being taught is all you gotta do to be saved, IS Ask Jesus to come into your heart.. IN this very teaching the indication IS being given that you just ask Jesus to ride along with you in this world and what you do is good because you got Jesus in your heart and can carry Him where ever YOU Want TO go… IS that what has been Written, IS any scripture that has been read so far indicated that we carry Jesus OR that we bow to and follow The Will and The Way of The Father…BY walking the path that Christ HIS Son, laid down when He walked this earth among men, doing what? Taking part in all the customs and rituals of the pagans and following the traditions of men?)
(Luke 14:27) Jesus Said, “Whosoever doth not bear his cross, AND Come after Me, cannot be My disciple…” (33).. “So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh ~NOT~ ALL that he hath, he cannot be My disciple…”
SOOO does it sound like we can chase our tails around in the world and follow Christ as His disciple? OR do we have to abandon all the world and ~Come After~ (Follow as IN Christ IS The Leader, The Potter, we are the clay the followers of/in His way)…
(John 14:23).. Again Jesus Said, “*IF* a man ~Love~ Me, he will ~Keep My Words~: AND My Father will love him, and *WE* Will Come unto him, and make *OUR* abode with him.”
(Mark 1:15).. Again Jesus Said, “The ~Time~ *IS* Fulfilled, AND The Kingdom OF God *IS* AT Hand:” (Run, play in the world, join in their rituals of pagan customs, mixing them in with the teachings OF God’s Kingdom?) OR DID Jesus SAY: “REPENT ye AND BELIEVE The Gospel.” How can we repent and believe that which we do not know and have not been taught in the House where we gather TO Learn The Truth’s of our Savior?
Did Jesus follow the entertainment of the nations to teach the Gospel.. TO, the adults, young folk, children… Did He get up a busload to go to visit Disney World, to help them learn of the Kingdom OF God?
When He went into the Synagogues did He carry the themes of: Space Explorers, Famous Towns, Cowboys, Beaches, OR DID He, simply TEACH The Gospel of God’s Kingdom?
(Luke 4:16/17).. As was His custom He Stood and read from the Book of Isaiah… So IT WAS The ~~Custom~~ of Jesus To Read from the *Scriptures* not from mans Book of Fun Fables..
When you, AS A Christian Worker, go out to invite children to Vacation Bible School, OR Sunday School, IS you invitation of the world? How many times do you say, “We are having a study of God’s Written Word The Bible To learn of HIS Only Begotten Son?” OR, IS your invite more like, “We are going to have a good time in Vacation Bible School this year, because we are going to explore outer space, or visit the beach, and we’ll have ~plenty~ of good snacks every day, and exciting games to play?” IS This an honest invitation? DID you consider in any of your speech, “*IF*, IT BE God’s WILL and HIS WAY?”
According to the testimony offered, before the congregation after the VBS IS over… “VBS was successful this year, because ~WE~ had so many ~attend~.. And we even had some ask about being saved and we’re baptizing them, thus bringing an increase into the Church.” Emphasis on the ~Increase of The Church Numbers~, rather than the teaching of the ~Truth of God’s Written Word TO ONE of the little ones that Jesus Said, forbid them not to come unto ME…(Mark 10:14).. IN ALL This were they brought TO Christ, or sent deeper into the ways of the world? Were they taught what IT takes to be a follower of Christ as Jesus Taught IN:
(John 5:24).. “Verily, Verily, I (Jesus) 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.”
(Mark 16:16)… “He that ~~Believeth~~ and IS Baptized shall be saved, But he that ~Believeth NOT~ shall be damned.” DID we, responsible adults, actually teach the little ones that we baptized What IT IS To Believe, OR Did we just tell them Jesus Loves you just as you are, thus baptizing them that Believeth NOT. Because they know not what to believe….other than to play the games of the world and learn of it’s ways and fabled fairy tales?
(Mark 1:15)?? Will they be prepared to go out and teach as disciples of Jesus? OR vessels of what the world has to offer?
(Mark 6:12).. And they went out, and preached that men should ~~Repent~~. AS Jesus Said:
(Luke 13:3) .. “I Tell you, Nay, Except ye *Repent*, ye shall ~ALL~ likewise perish.”
The ~Most Dangerous Game~ That folks can play IS: “Church”, more dangerous than Russian Roulette…
But most preachers don’t mention that part It is all about Jesus Loves you just as you are, you ain’t got to do nothing, but ask Him to come into your heart… And you will be saved… Leaving folks, children and adults, to believe that it is well and good for them to just carry on as they did before and they are saved, OH, and they add yet another misnomer into IT, Once you ARE Saved, you are always saved… That’s like saying that once you are ordained a preacher or a deacon you are always one… Yet how many have fell from grace because of ~~SIN~~???
(Romans 10: 15 -16).. AS IT IS Written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the ~Gospel of Peace~, and bring glad tidings of Good Things… BUT… they have not ~ALL~ obeyed the Gospel…
(Hebrews 12:15) .. Looking diligently lest ~Any man~ *FAIL* of the ~Grace of God~; lest any root of bitterness springing up, trouble you and thereby ~many~ be ~Defiled~….
(To fail means among other things to fall short, meaning that you had IT but failed in it. As well as having failed to receive IT..) but reading the rest of the verse, lest any root of bitterness spring up, would certainly indicate the act of having attained the Grace of God but falling short because of something that arose up within you… like the tendency to follow the ways of the world.)
(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…. What did John Write of Jesus Words of warning?
(Revelation 2:22) .. “Behold, I Will Cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, ~~EXCEPT~~(Unless) they *Repent* of their deeds.” This IS A Warning to the Church that allowed that woman Jezebel to teach, to defile it. Saved OR?
(Ephesians 2:8-10)… For by ~Grace~ (God’s Favor) are ye saved … ~Through~ *Faith*: (We obtain God’s Favor, Saving Grace, BY What vessel? Some teach that there is nothing that we can do that God JUST Automatically Saves Some folk and others are condemned to destruction and that IS What Grace IS, and That IS Why we can’t lose IT.) But Read The Bible!
(Romans 9: Of God that ~Sheweth Mercy, “I will have ~Compassion~ on whom I Will”.. “So IT IS Not of him that willeth, not of him that runneth.”
Yes, God IS THE ALL Powerful, which IS Why man’s vain thoughts, always get him into trouble… *IF* I think that I should be first in line, But God’s Will IS That I be last, then IT IS God’s Will that stands not mine… AND *IF* I think that God has to save ~~ME~~ in HIS Saving Grace, then IT IS a failed thought, because I must go through the ~~DOOR~~, (Jesus Christ, The Way, IN humble faith and *Repent* of my sins with a humble broken spirit of self, that IS The Choice that God The Father gives us… what will we do? Reject the ~Word~ and die in our sins, OR Repent and be saved? That IS The Choice that IS Freely given to man Set Before man TO Chose, from God….(Deuteronomy 30:15/19)
We are saved --- Through ~~ Faith~~, and that not of ourselves: (we can have all the *Faith* in ourselves, or that preacher behind the pulpit that we want, but that does not bring about Salvation… WE MUST have Faith Rested IN AND ON, GOD.. WHY?) IT IS The Gift OF God: (IT Comes From God, not we ourselves, or man why) Not of ~works~ lest any man should boast… (Look AT ME, LOOK What I DID, and yet how many folks do we see that count how many souls they got to come to Church, look at me I did this, I AM A Christian?) (10).. For we ARE HIS Workmanship, Created IN Christ Jesus unto ~~Good Works~~, WHICH God hath before *ORDAINED* That we should ~Walk~ IN THEM.
And yet we try to make ~~OUR~~ works be the right way, by adding our little fairy tales to God’s Written Word, twisting this very Scripture to make IT Be that we were ordained before to be saved in God’s Grace, when IN Fact IT IS The Works that was Ordained that we must do, and that IS The Honest and Truthful, Unaltered teaching OF The Gospel OF Gods Kingdom and OF HIS Son Jesus Christ… Nothing More, Nothing Less.
AS IT IS WRITTEN!
(Acts 3:19)… *Repent* (Honestly be sorrowful) ye therefore, & AND& Be *Converted* (Change your beliefs your character, *YOU*) that your ~Sins~ be blotted out, when the times of ~~Refreshing~ Shall come from The Presence OF The Lord…..
(Acts 26:20).. That they should *Repent* and *Turn TO God*, & AND & *DO Works Meet FOR Repentance*…
Does the works that you see done or that you do in God’s House of Worship show that they are “Meet” fit express a humble obedient attitude of faith in God of ~Repentance~, OR do they reflect the tempered works of man’s world in all vanity? The attitude of following the fads, and traditions of man kinds pagan customs?
As A child I was taught adamantly that Eve ate the apple, and as an unread, unstudied adult I adamantly taught the same… SO It goes on and on with the teaching of a lie, because we don’t ~~READ~~ the Bible for ourselves, study to show ourselves approved, before God and man…
(II Timothy 2:15).. And in rightly dividing the scriptures we learn to teach in The Truth and Honesty that God The Father first had the Bible penned down in. AS The Son of God ~Testified TO~…
(Read all of Proverbs chapters 2 & 3) all good scriptural instructions and then Jesus SAID:
(John 7:38) .. “He that ~believeth~ on Me, *AS The Scripture* Hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water….”
Living waters that flow with the institution of life eternal by bringing others to Christ so that they can with a repentant heart follow Him in Truth and Honesty, NOT leading them deeper into, The stagnant waters of the mire and muck of the world and its way…
(John 8:21-32).. “*IF* ye continue ~IN~ My Word, then are ye My disciples indeed, AND ye shall know ~The Truth~, and the truth shall make you free.”
How can we learn all that we need to know about Jesus and the Promises that He gave from His Father to us? By sitting and listening to someone speak, or reading the writings of man, accepting their words and getting up and going merrily about our life as though we are saved in and by the word of man? Does this prove faith in Christ? OR man?
So very many folks, will stand and proudly announce that they are ~Christians~, BUT, ask them a Biblical Related Question, and most times the answer you will get IS:, “I really don’t know what the Bible has to say about that, BUT, IN MY Opinion, IT IS OR Should be this way or that.” “I really haven’t read about that in the Bible, because THE Bible IS SO Hard to understand, and I just don’t have the time to sit down and read the Bible, BUT I AM A Christian and I attend regular Church Services and listen to the messages that the preacher brings us.. After all that IS his job and that IS what we pay him for, is to read and study the Bible and bring us THE WORD…” Therefore we put our trust in a paid for job of a man instead of Christ from the git-go. SO IN Reality we shouldn’t call ourselves Christians, meaning followers of Christ, but rather followers of man..
BUT, listen to their praise of the ~books~ that they do find the time to read.. “Secret Loves”, “Left Behind Series”, “Modern Man/Woman”.. This IS visible proof of where the thoughts of many “Christians” dwell, and not on The Gospel OF Christ, so the ignorance that they prove IS: self inflicted, even purposed by neglect and actual denial of The Kingdom OF God…
I Hope and Pray that ~ALL~ people, will realize that man IS fallible and can speak and write misleading information, whether on purpose, or unknowing, SO we must prove mans words by, Gods Book of ALL Instruction…for ourselves.. Not sit idly by and take for granted what IS spoken or written by modern man as, truth..
Always search out the older versions of The Bible, because any Bible that was printed in the late 1800s or 1900s has been changed to reflect ~Modern Day~ teachings that watered the truths, changed words, omitted and added to the ancient scriptures that were written under the Divine Guidance of The Holy Spirit… Writers today are for the most part, just that writers of entertainment AND for ~Profit~… The few that may write under the Guiding Hand of Christ, are mostly rejected as heretics…. BUT prayerfully and carefully searching the scriptures can ~~Prove~~ Gods Word OF Truth….
(Galatians 3:22) … BUT the *Scriptures* hath concluded ~~ALL~ under sin, that the ~Promise~ by faith OF Jesus Christ, Might be given to them that ~Believe~…
(Romans 10:8- 17) … BUT What saith IT? The word IS nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that *IS*, The word of ~Faith~, which we ~~Preach~~.. (Faith in what? The ways of man in the customs of the world?) … (9).. That *IF* thou shalt confess with thy mouth The Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that, *God* hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved…(17) ..SO Then ~~Faith~~ Cometh BY Hearing, (*BUT*) and ~Hearing~ BY THE WORD OF God… SO IF we don’t know what IS Written in The Word of God, how can we be assured that the message that falls upon our ears IS Truth or fiction… Because, many fables tend to get added into the Gospel through the teachings of man… (But in actuality, what IS being taught is all you gotta do to be saved, IS Ask Jesus to come into your heart.. IN this very teaching the indication IS being given that you just ask Jesus to ride along with you in this world and what you do is good because you got Jesus in your heart and can carry Him where ever YOU Want TO go… IS that what has been Written, IS any scripture that has been read so far indicated that we carry Jesus OR that we bow to and follow The Will and The Way of The Father…BY walking the path that Christ HIS Son, laid down when He walked this earth among men, doing what? Taking part in all the customs and rituals of the pagans and following the traditions of men?)
(Luke 14:27) Jesus Said, “Whosoever doth not bear his cross, AND Come after Me, cannot be My disciple…” (33).. “So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh ~NOT~ ALL that he hath, he cannot be My disciple…”
SOOO does it sound like we can chase our tails around in the world and follow Christ as His disciple? OR do we have to abandon all the world and ~Come After~ (Follow as IN Christ IS The Leader, The Potter, we are the clay the followers of/in His way)…
(John 14:23).. Again Jesus Said, “*IF* a man ~Love~ Me, he will ~Keep My Words~: AND My Father will love him, and *WE* Will Come unto him, and make *OUR* abode with him.”
(Mark 1:15).. Again Jesus Said, “The ~Time~ *IS* Fulfilled, AND The Kingdom OF God *IS* AT Hand:” (Run, play in the world, join in their rituals of pagan customs, mixing them in with the teachings OF God’s Kingdom?) OR DID Jesus SAY: “REPENT ye AND BELIEVE The Gospel.” How can we repent and believe that which we do not know and have not been taught in the House where we gather TO Learn The Truth’s of our Savior?
Did Jesus follow the entertainment of the nations to teach the Gospel.. TO, the adults, young folk, children… Did He get up a busload to go to visit Disney World, to help them learn of the Kingdom OF God?

WHO IS THE FATHER?
IT Always seems strange to me, when someone who declares themselves to be: “Led By Christ”, denies the Position of the Father and OF The Son… But then That very thing was Written as a warning by one who walked with THE Son, on this earth, was taught OF THE Father, BY The Son, and being Led BY THE Holy Ghost, Wrote of the destination of The very act of denying Both The Father and The Son… DID Jesus Christ ~EVER~ Deny HIS Father? Then *IF* our spirit IS truly led by Christ that lives in us, would we not Joyfully Declare Both the Father and The Son as did Jesus and the apostles? What did Jesus declare to the people (Jews) who were accusing Him?
(John 5:38b -38) .. Jesus Said, “And THE Father *HIMSELF*, Which ~Hath Sent~ Me, Hath borne ~Witness~ OF Me.. Ye have neither heard HIS Voice at any time, NOR seen HIS Shape.. AND ye Have Not HIS ~Word~ abiding in you.. FOR Whom *HE* Hath Sent, ye ~Believe Not~…”
I hear so many statements, writings, even prayers, by folk that claim to BE Led By Christ living within them that make the statement…. “Jesus IS my Father, my God, my Maker.” AND Not to take away anything from Jesus, OF His Glory, OF His Might, BUT, NOT TO Deny The Father IN Heaven Which Jesus Himself said IS: His Father and ours, should we not proclaim God The Father and Jesus Christ The Son, AS IT IS Written in SO Many verses of Scripture? Folks declare the writing in red to be the words of Jesus, and yet still deny the scriptures as IT IS Written to the stumbling and downfall of those young in the Truth, those seeking TO Learn The Truth.. And what does that make these folks to be?
(I John 2:22)… “WHO”, IS A Liar, BUT, he that ~~Denieth~~ THAT *Jesus IS The Christ*? He is “antichrist” that denieth ~~~ THE Father, AND The Son…
NOTE: IT IS NOT Written he that denieth The Father AS Being The Son, but there is an AND, denoting, also; plus; as to proclaim that there IS more than one… IT ALSO Specifies: That Jesus IS The Christ, Not The Father, Not God, BUT *THE CHRIST*. (*The Christ* Christos Greek meaning: “The Anointed, The Messiah, The Son OF God.”) Which makes the Scripture in (I John 5:7 KJV) that so many folks want to and have erased from the Bible, important because IT plainly shows how the Three ARE ONE God.. AS A UNIT OF ONE, NOT A Single One… AND Again Jesus Said:
(John 14:11) “Believe Me That I am in the Father, and The Father in Me.”
(I Peter 1:3) .. Blessed BE: THE God AND Father OF our Lord Jesus Christ… Which according TO HIS Abundant Mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope BY, THE Resurrection OF Jesus Christ From The Dead….
(II Peter 1:17).. For *He* (Jesus) received FROM: God The Father ~honour and glory,~ when there came such a ~Voice~ TO Him from THE Excellent Glory, “This IS MY Beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased.” (II Peter 1:1 KJV)
Both John AND Peter walked with Christ, and yet they declared Him To Be The Son of God AS He had taught them… Did He mislead them? Was He really God The Father, because IT IS Written that: (John 1:1).. The Word Was God, and (Matthew 1:23).. Emmanuel Being interrupted as: God With us.. OR, did these two scriptures attest to the FACT that that ~Through Jesus Christ The Son, God The Father IS Made Known unto us, dwells with us, and we With them…. What did Jesus Say?
(John 14:23) .. “*IF* a man ~~LOVE~~ Me, he Will Keep My Words and My Father Will ~~LOVE~~ him AND **WE** WILL Make **OUR** Abode with him..”
(John 17:21) .. “That they ~~ALL~~ may be one: as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in THEE, that they Also May Be One in **US**…”
(Matthew 12:50) . Again Words IN Red.. “Whosoever shall ~DO~ the Will OF My Father which IS IN Heaven, The Same IS: my brother, sister, and mother.”
Jesus remained humbly obedient to His Father while He walked among men teaching them IN Truth and Honesty… SO, why on earth would we be so assumptive as to declare that we are better than thou and can just put The Father of Christ away, and Claim Only The Son to Be our Father when Jesus clearly said… Whosoever shall do the Will OF My Father IS My brother, sister, mother… After ~ALL~ we mere lumps of clay are still walking about the earth, ~IN~ bodies of sinful flesh, so we gonna think that we are worthy of eliminating the Heavenly Father, OF our Savior Jesus Christ Who Never denied His Father, NOR claimed to be >Greater Than or Equal TO<?
When I hear or read someone make the statement That Jesus IS Their Father, Immediately the Spirit says to me: “he that denieth both the Father and The Son.”
YES, Jesus IS our Maker, under the Direction of God The Father, as IT IS Written IN:
(Genesis 1:26).. And God Said, “Let *US* Make.” & (Ephesians 2:1-10) .. (v.4) But God.. (v.10).. We ARE HIS Workmanship… Created ~IN~ Jesus Christ unto good works ..Which God hath Before ordained that we should walk IN THEM….
(I Corinthians 1:9) .. God IS Faithful, BY WHOM ye were called, unto The Fellowship OF: HIS, Son Jesus Christ our Lord… (AND Again Jesus Said!)
(John 14:6) .. Jesus saith unto him, “I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life: ~NO man~ cometh into the Father, but by Me.”
(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.”
Do you really want to deny the Father, but glorify the Son? OR, IS IT BEST TO: Follow The Example Set Forth By The Son of God, Jesus Christ Himself, while He walked the earth as we now walk in the flesh… preparing for and proclaiming The Kingdom of God.. IN Which, Jesus Christ IS King of kings and Lord of lords, our Master, seated on The Throne *AT* the Right Hand OF The Father…..
(Matthew 25:34)… Words in Red AS Jesus Said: “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.”
SO we must be on the ~Right Hand OF Christ, as He IS on The Right hand of His Father..
(Hebrews 1:8-9)… BUT Unto The Son HE (The Father God) saith, “Thy Throne, O GOD, IS FOR EVER AND EVER: A SEPTURE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE SEPTURE OF THY KINGDOM; FOR THOU HAST LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND HATED INIQUITY, THEREFORE *GOD,* EVEN THY *GOD*, HATH ANNOINTED THEE WITH GLADNESS ABOVE THY FELLOWS.”
The *LORD* spelled with ALL Capitals in the Old Testament, was NOT The Word, nor The Son, BUT THE Father JEHOVAH GOD.. Which has been rewritten, omitted, and watered down so as to eliminate The Father God and make Jesus Christ The Son, To Be The Father in many new Translations of The Old Testaments OF The Bible… WHY?
IS Satan running rampant to take ~ALL~ that he can in these last days?
Be careful, Be Aware of: misleading and being mislead by a lost and dying world… There are those that claim all has been fulfilled and peace reigns among God’s people, on what TV, in What Movie, Book or Imagination of Man does peace reign? Peace only is found IN the heart of The individual person that expresses claims TO, loves, follows, and obeys, The Father, By The Son, Jesus Christ, and IS led by The Holy Ghost, not the spirit of evil misrepresentation….
(John 17:1) .. These words spake Jesus, and lifted up His Eyes To Heaven, and said, “Father, the hour IS come, glorify Thy Son, that THY Son, also may glorify THEE.”
(John 14:13) .. “Whatsoever ye shall ask in My (Jesus) Name, that I Will Do, that THE Father may be glorified in The Son.”
(John 17:5) .. “And NOW, O Father, glorify THOU Me, with THINE OWN SELF, with The Glory which I Had before The World was…” (A Very Important Scripture OF Verse, Read IT Carefully.)
(Romans 15:6).. That ye may ~WITH~ One Mind and One Mouth, glorify God, even THE Father *OF*, our Lord Jesus Christ….
Do we praise the Father in one accord in the meetings in the Sanctuaries, or do we only proclaim Jesus, and that only, after we have praised the world and all in it? ..
(I John 3:1KJV) Behold, what manner OF LOVE, THE FATHER hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called ~The sons of God:~ Therefore the world knowth us not, Because IT Knew HIM Not…
Do we Really Know HIM? God The Father, Because we ~Believe, Follow, and Love,~ HIM Through HIS Son, Jesus Christ, being led BY The Holy Ghost? Does our walk through this life show proof of this, does our manner of speech, our attitude towards others give humble testimony of THIS, OR Do we look in a haughtiness like the rest of the world who don’t know HIM? Look in the mirror, read the Written Word, search IT out, Prove your steps to be IN, and OF Christ… by humble, obedient prayer and giving over all to The Lord as IT Should BE Given…
(John 5:38b -38) .. Jesus Said, “And THE Father *HIMSELF*, Which ~Hath Sent~ Me, Hath borne ~Witness~ OF Me.. Ye have neither heard HIS Voice at any time, NOR seen HIS Shape.. AND ye Have Not HIS ~Word~ abiding in you.. FOR Whom *HE* Hath Sent, ye ~Believe Not~…”
I hear so many statements, writings, even prayers, by folk that claim to BE Led By Christ living within them that make the statement…. “Jesus IS my Father, my God, my Maker.” AND Not to take away anything from Jesus, OF His Glory, OF His Might, BUT, NOT TO Deny The Father IN Heaven Which Jesus Himself said IS: His Father and ours, should we not proclaim God The Father and Jesus Christ The Son, AS IT IS Written in SO Many verses of Scripture? Folks declare the writing in red to be the words of Jesus, and yet still deny the scriptures as IT IS Written to the stumbling and downfall of those young in the Truth, those seeking TO Learn The Truth.. And what does that make these folks to be?
(I John 2:22)… “WHO”, IS A Liar, BUT, he that ~~Denieth~~ THAT *Jesus IS The Christ*? He is “antichrist” that denieth ~~~ THE Father, AND The Son…
NOTE: IT IS NOT Written he that denieth The Father AS Being The Son, but there is an AND, denoting, also; plus; as to proclaim that there IS more than one… IT ALSO Specifies: That Jesus IS The Christ, Not The Father, Not God, BUT *THE CHRIST*. (*The Christ* Christos Greek meaning: “The Anointed, The Messiah, The Son OF God.”) Which makes the Scripture in (I John 5:7 KJV) that so many folks want to and have erased from the Bible, important because IT plainly shows how the Three ARE ONE God.. AS A UNIT OF ONE, NOT A Single One… AND Again Jesus Said:
(John 14:11) “Believe Me That I am in the Father, and The Father in Me.”
(I Peter 1:3) .. Blessed BE: THE God AND Father OF our Lord Jesus Christ… Which according TO HIS Abundant Mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope BY, THE Resurrection OF Jesus Christ From The Dead….
(II Peter 1:17).. For *He* (Jesus) received FROM: God The Father ~honour and glory,~ when there came such a ~Voice~ TO Him from THE Excellent Glory, “This IS MY Beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased.” (II Peter 1:1 KJV)
Both John AND Peter walked with Christ, and yet they declared Him To Be The Son of God AS He had taught them… Did He mislead them? Was He really God The Father, because IT IS Written that: (John 1:1).. The Word Was God, and (Matthew 1:23).. Emmanuel Being interrupted as: God With us.. OR, did these two scriptures attest to the FACT that that ~Through Jesus Christ The Son, God The Father IS Made Known unto us, dwells with us, and we With them…. What did Jesus Say?
(John 14:23) .. “*IF* a man ~~LOVE~~ Me, he Will Keep My Words and My Father Will ~~LOVE~~ him AND **WE** WILL Make **OUR** Abode with him..”
(John 17:21) .. “That they ~~ALL~~ may be one: as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in THEE, that they Also May Be One in **US**…”
(Matthew 12:50) . Again Words IN Red.. “Whosoever shall ~DO~ the Will OF My Father which IS IN Heaven, The Same IS: my brother, sister, and mother.”
Jesus remained humbly obedient to His Father while He walked among men teaching them IN Truth and Honesty… SO, why on earth would we be so assumptive as to declare that we are better than thou and can just put The Father of Christ away, and Claim Only The Son to Be our Father when Jesus clearly said… Whosoever shall do the Will OF My Father IS My brother, sister, mother… After ~ALL~ we mere lumps of clay are still walking about the earth, ~IN~ bodies of sinful flesh, so we gonna think that we are worthy of eliminating the Heavenly Father, OF our Savior Jesus Christ Who Never denied His Father, NOR claimed to be >Greater Than or Equal TO<?
When I hear or read someone make the statement That Jesus IS Their Father, Immediately the Spirit says to me: “he that denieth both the Father and The Son.”
YES, Jesus IS our Maker, under the Direction of God The Father, as IT IS Written IN:
(Genesis 1:26).. And God Said, “Let *US* Make.” & (Ephesians 2:1-10) .. (v.4) But God.. (v.10).. We ARE HIS Workmanship… Created ~IN~ Jesus Christ unto good works ..Which God hath Before ordained that we should walk IN THEM….
(I Corinthians 1:9) .. God IS Faithful, BY WHOM ye were called, unto The Fellowship OF: HIS, Son Jesus Christ our Lord… (AND Again Jesus Said!)
(John 14:6) .. Jesus saith unto him, “I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life: ~NO man~ cometh into the Father, but by Me.”
(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.”
Do you really want to deny the Father, but glorify the Son? OR, IS IT BEST TO: Follow The Example Set Forth By The Son of God, Jesus Christ Himself, while He walked the earth as we now walk in the flesh… preparing for and proclaiming The Kingdom of God.. IN Which, Jesus Christ IS King of kings and Lord of lords, our Master, seated on The Throne *AT* the Right Hand OF The Father…..
(Matthew 25:34)… Words in Red AS Jesus Said: “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.”
SO we must be on the ~Right Hand OF Christ, as He IS on The Right hand of His Father..
(Hebrews 1:8-9)… BUT Unto The Son HE (The Father God) saith, “Thy Throne, O GOD, IS FOR EVER AND EVER: A SEPTURE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE SEPTURE OF THY KINGDOM; FOR THOU HAST LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND HATED INIQUITY, THEREFORE *GOD,* EVEN THY *GOD*, HATH ANNOINTED THEE WITH GLADNESS ABOVE THY FELLOWS.”
The *LORD* spelled with ALL Capitals in the Old Testament, was NOT The Word, nor The Son, BUT THE Father JEHOVAH GOD.. Which has been rewritten, omitted, and watered down so as to eliminate The Father God and make Jesus Christ The Son, To Be The Father in many new Translations of The Old Testaments OF The Bible… WHY?
IS Satan running rampant to take ~ALL~ that he can in these last days?
Be careful, Be Aware of: misleading and being mislead by a lost and dying world… There are those that claim all has been fulfilled and peace reigns among God’s people, on what TV, in What Movie, Book or Imagination of Man does peace reign? Peace only is found IN the heart of The individual person that expresses claims TO, loves, follows, and obeys, The Father, By The Son, Jesus Christ, and IS led by The Holy Ghost, not the spirit of evil misrepresentation….
(John 17:1) .. These words spake Jesus, and lifted up His Eyes To Heaven, and said, “Father, the hour IS come, glorify Thy Son, that THY Son, also may glorify THEE.”
(John 14:13) .. “Whatsoever ye shall ask in My (Jesus) Name, that I Will Do, that THE Father may be glorified in The Son.”
(John 17:5) .. “And NOW, O Father, glorify THOU Me, with THINE OWN SELF, with The Glory which I Had before The World was…” (A Very Important Scripture OF Verse, Read IT Carefully.)
(Romans 15:6).. That ye may ~WITH~ One Mind and One Mouth, glorify God, even THE Father *OF*, our Lord Jesus Christ….
Do we praise the Father in one accord in the meetings in the Sanctuaries, or do we only proclaim Jesus, and that only, after we have praised the world and all in it? ..
(I John 3:1KJV) Behold, what manner OF LOVE, THE FATHER hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called ~The sons of God:~ Therefore the world knowth us not, Because IT Knew HIM Not…
Do we Really Know HIM? God The Father, Because we ~Believe, Follow, and Love,~ HIM Through HIS Son, Jesus Christ, being led BY The Holy Ghost? Does our walk through this life show proof of this, does our manner of speech, our attitude towards others give humble testimony of THIS, OR Do we look in a haughtiness like the rest of the world who don’t know HIM? Look in the mirror, read the Written Word, search IT out, Prove your steps to be IN, and OF Christ… by humble, obedient prayer and giving over all to The Lord as IT Should BE Given…

Fruitful Seeds OF Understanding
So often we ~fool~ ourselves into thinking that “WE” can save ourselves by taking the surface steps laid down by mankind’s teachings, BUT, when trials and tribulations come into our lives, we falter and fall from the perch that we placed ourselves upon… Just AS Jesus Said:
(Matthew 4:) .. (v.4).. And when the sower planted the seeds.. Some fell by the ~Way side~ and the fowls came and ate them up… (v.19) ..When anyone heareth the *Word OF The Kingdom* and understand *IT* Not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown, in his heart, this IS The seeds that fell by the way…
(Read this carefully, consider IT, prayerfully ask the Holy Spirit to guide your thoughts in it, and think about the whole picture, IS IT Still Good, to plant the seeds of The ~Truth~ of Gods Kingdom into the ears of little ones, all mixed up in the fables of pagan cultures? So many folks fall into the trap OF looking at the “Joneses” they are having a ~Good~ time in their Church, so why don’t we do what they are doing? Did we prayerfully search the Bible to SEE IF what they are Doing IS Accepted By The Father, and The Son, and Led By The Holy Spirit? OR, do we just accept IT Because, IT looks righteous? Many religious practices are growing on the way side, and are doomed to be eaten by the fowls… Do we really want to join them? Read ON!)
(Matthew 4:) .. (v.5/6) Some fell upon stony places where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had ~NO Deepness~ of earth, and when the sun was up, they were scorched and because they had ~NO ROOT~ they withered away…
(v.20/21).. He that received the seed into stony places, the same IS he that ~Heareth~ the Word, and that anon (anon here means sincerely; immediately) with joy receiveth IT: YET he haveth ~Not Root~ in himself, but dureth for a little while for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the ~Word~, by and by he IS Offended….
(Oftentimes we set out on a journey of our OWN righteousness in life, we feel good about IT, we see nothing wrong with IT, we are moving right along with the things that we have learned of man as being good, IT IS even sanctioned by Christian Stores, preachers, leaders, so we gotta be ~Right~.. Then someone sites us to a Bible Scripture that we should have read, but haven‘t, and we are offended, our sincerity of faith IS challenged, because our actions have been brought into question.. And immediately we think, how dare anyone question ~MY~ intentions when Jesus IS MY Maker, Judge, and He ~Knows~ MY heart, and I AM working for Him.. Really? Then why has The Written Word, not been personally searched, but taken for granted because he said/she said? Preachers/teachers which feed the flocks fairy tales, which is joyfully received in a tainted form of worldly ways, is in the position of false teachers, leading the sheep away from the fold… Because they receive the word of the Gospel but it is painted with make-up of the harlot and clothed in the attire of the pagan gods… SO *IT* has *NO ROOT* in the fertile word of truth, but is grounded in false teachings made up by mans imaginations in an attempt to make the learning of the Gospel interesting to draw eager ears….Little ones are adamantly taught, “Jesus Loves ~YOU”, while they are out looking for colored eggs and praising Santa for the gifts that ~~HE~~ brought them… But never are they taught The Very First Commandment: “Thou shalt ~~LOVE~~ The LORD thy God with ~~ALL~~ thy heart, soul, mind, and all thy strength.” (Mark 12:30)
Because being taught this would make them realize that there IS A Path that they must walk, a behavior that they MUST Follow, and make null and void the teaching that Jesus Loves you no matter what you do, so IT IS okay to disobey God’s Written Word and do as you please, because Jesus Still Loves you… Really?
(Matthew 7: 22/23).. “Many Will say, to Me in that day Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy Name?” … “Then I Will Profess unto them, I Never Knew you: Depart from Me ye that work iniquity.” ( the word iniquity -Anomia- here means without the law, with contempt and violation of the law, because of ignorance of the law.) & (v.24).. “Therefore ~whosoever~ heareth these sayings OF Mine, AND Doeth Them, I Will liken him unto a wise man, who built his house upon a ~Rock~.
(I Timothy 4:3/4).. The time will come when they will NOT endure ~Sound Doctrine~; but after their *OWN* lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears… AND they Shall turn away their ears ~from The Truth~, and shall be turned unto fables…
(Rabbits that carry baskets of colored eggs and hide them for the children to hunt, and IT Somehow has something to do with Christ Resurrection? Miracles that only occur because of a certain time of year when people turn their ~OWN~ hearts to being charitable to the less fortunate and share the gift giving that is associated with being “Santa’s Helpers”… ?
NOW, take a good look at exactly what IS being ~ACCEPTED~ by the Church leaders as alright, It’s Okay, That IS A Good way to explain The Bible, Teach IT to the children… IS IT ~Transformed~ to AS IT IS Written, OR IS, AS IT IS Written ~Conformed~ to the world by the teachers? Have we really read THE Bible To SEE or do we use our *OWN* Judgment? Remember our own judgment IS just that , The Holy Spirit, The Comforter, leads us IN and By The Word to testify to our hearts of: The Father and The Son Jesus Christ, and HE WILL ~Teach~ us ALL things… BUT we must listen, obey, follow, humbly read and pray to the Father in Jesus Name, lending our thoughts to the Comforter, not making our ~~OWN~~ decisions, our OWN way…
(John 14:26)… But The Comforter, Which IS The Holy Ghost, Whom the Father Will Send In My (Jesus) Name, He ~Will Teach you All Things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you…
(HOW Can we KNOW, “Whatsoever Jesus Said?” Because *WE* *KNOW* What WE KNOW*, What “WE’ KNOW? Where IS IT Recorded of ~What Jesus Said~? In the many books of make believe written by mankind, OR in The Bible that God the Father had penned down by faithful men of old, AND we can only *Know* what the Holy Spirit Leads us TO Know, through the prayerful reading of The Scriptures, not what we think we Know of our OWN Thoughts plucked out of thin air?)
The third parable of the seeds of the Gospel of Gods Kingdom planted..
(Matthew 13:) .. (v.7) .. Some fell among the ~thorns~ and the thorns sprang up and choked them… (v.22) .. He that received seed among the thorns IS he that heareth the ~Word~; and the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches , choke the ~Word~ and IT Becomes unfruitful..
(Think that living a lavish life before other fellow Christians or those struggling in the world to make ends meet, seeking the place to find salvation, IS Good?… Does this show your charity before mankind? Flashing your bangles, baubles, and blings, only shows off a vain and haughty spirit. Tattooing your body with things pretty to the world… reading your daily horoscope, chasing spirits of the dead by ~ghost hunting~ working day and night to store up riches on this earth, rather than spending your time learning what The LORD would have us to know and teach to our children… And there is a list of things a mile long or more, that reflects false teachings AND spreading the Seed OF Truth among the thorns….) BUT!
(Matthew 13:) .. (v.8) .. Other fell into ~GOOD~ ground and brought forth fruit… (23) He that received seed into the ~GOOD~ Ground. IS he that ~~Heareth~ the Word, and ~Understand *IT*… AND Also Beareth and ~Bringth Forth ~~Good Fruit~~….
We can bring forth fruit all day long, BUT IF our actions, manner, dress, composition proves to be all in the vanity of the world, what good is the foul fruit that we bring forth?
(Matthew 7: 18) A ~GOOD Tree~ cannot bring forth ~evil fruit~, neither can a ~Corrupt tree~ bring forth ~Good Fruit~.
When we stumble and fall, instead of looking at others who ~Made~ us fail by hurting our feelings about OUR Goodness, we should Look AT What we Think IS goodness, and seek the guidance of the Holy Ghost to show us the TRUE Way, prayerfully seeking forgiveness for our shortcomings and failures before The Father….
IT IS ~ALL~ Written IN God’s Holy Word, we must read, learn, hold IT Dear in our Hearts, follow The Teachings laid down by the Son Jesus Christ, From The Father IN Heaven, and brought to our memory BY The Holy Ghost, in our humble obedient seeking, through prayer for This Guidance, in Jesus Name,,,
(Proverbs 2: 1-2) ,, IF thou Wilt Receive *MY* Words, and hide MY Commandments with thee, SO That thou incline thine ~ear~ unto wisdom and thine ~heart~ to understanding….
(Proverbs 3: 1) .. Forget NOT MY Law, BUT ~KEEP~ MY Commandments.
(Matthew 4:) .. (v.4).. And when the sower planted the seeds.. Some fell by the ~Way side~ and the fowls came and ate them up… (v.19) ..When anyone heareth the *Word OF The Kingdom* and understand *IT* Not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown, in his heart, this IS The seeds that fell by the way…

Sunday IN Church !!
So NOW we have a group of children that have made it through the nursery/tot class in Sunday School, and are ready to move up to the next level… “Age” group… Their qualifications being their age. They recieve a certificate of accomplishment, which is greatly deserved because they have really excelled at what they have been given.
The teachers, have lovingly cared for ~ALL~ their fleshly needs.. Providing them with juice cups, cookies, toys to play with, changed their diapers and diligently met the physical needs of each child…. BUT!
In the area’s of preparedness in obedience, discipline, behavior in Church, and Biblical Introduction, IF grades were honestly given out, to students and teachers as well, there would be zero’s across the board in all these areas… SAD! SAD! SAD!
And some folks want their child IN Sunday School to learn what they don’t know of The Bible… Another SAD also… Oh, excuse me, the walls do point somewhat to the Bible with cute pictures of Noah’s Ark, sheep, and such *IF* the children look they can see…. BUT THEN
IF one pays close attention in a meeting, to the manner the service is carried out in Most Sanctuaries, *IT IS* Sadly apparent that there IS Much MORE of the World present than the Spiritual Guidance needed to prepare even aged adults to face the onslaught of Satan’s devices, and lures into the sin of ~~Disobedience~~… Reckon that IS WHY, there are so many pagan customs and rituals of man incorporated and accepted into the services today as a good invention of man‘s imagination?
(I Thessalonians 4:11)… Study to be ~Quiet~, to do your own business, and to work with your own hands as we commanded you… Study What?
(II Timothy 2:15- 16)… Study to ~~Shew~~ thyself Approved~ unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth…. BUT shun ~~Profane and Vain babblings~~; for they ~~WILL Increase into more ungodliness… Study What? Books of the imaginations, fabled tales of mankind, OR THE BIBLE, God’s Book OF *ALL* Instruction that we need to know, follow, ~Obey~! WHY THE BIBLE? What does the vain babblings of of man lead TO?
So now we have children, that have been reared under the gossipy tongues of the good ladies that cared for their physical beings, moving up to a new class where they meet and ~Learn~ what?
Coloring books, crayons, more food, drinks, and play time.. But they are introduced also TO: fake tattoos, teaching them that *IT IS* A Good thing to paint your flesh, in direct contrast to The Teachings of our LORD… AND not only that but they are given super hero pictures to color because that is what they like, and after all the super hero’s do fight for what is right, so we teach that they are fighting for Jesus on His side… Never mind that IT IS A FAKE, A LIE, it seems good IT makes the children happy, so IT Must be okay… And the deacons, director, and preacher all approve with just appeasing the children, keep them quiet by letting them have their fun.
So many of these false teachings are even sold in packets in “Christian Book Stores” But then it makes money, and what harm can a little ~~USE~ of ones imagination do?
(Genesis 8:21) .. The ~~Imagination~~ of man’s heart IS evil from his youth… (what IS evil? Harmful, disagreeable, disobedient, to be in the position of the adversary which challenged God in the beginning.)
(Genesis 6:5) ..God SAW that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that !Every Imagination~ of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually….
(Jeremiah 13:10) .. This ~Evil~ people, which refuse to hear MY Words, which walk in the *Imagination* of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle which is good for nothing… (The girdle of false teachings mixed all up in the truths of God’s Written Book of ALL Instruction, may hold all the ~junk~ in for a while but soon the seams will split and junk goes flying everywhere spreading the infection of Satan’s filth all over the place…)
(Luke 1:51) .. HE (The Father) hath shewed strength with HIS Arm, (Jesus) HE Hath scattered the proud in the ~imagination~ of their hearts…
Think that as a *teacher* in God’s House of Prayer, *IT ISN’T Important* TO Adamantly Keep The Study Solely in God’s Written Word? Can we really afford to use our imagination in the teaching of little minds, IN The ONE Place that they expect to learn OF: “The Path OF Righteousness”?
There is a dozen eggs that is sold by Christian Book Stores, during this time of year, that IS Nothing more than an abomination to the Memorial of The Resurrection of Jesus… IT IS called a teaching tool to help little ones learn of the resurrection, and each brightly colored plastic egg contains a symbol that points to this event… BUT what does the package point to? Did the Mary’s that went to the tomb, the women that ~First~ carried the message of The Gospel OF Christ Resurrection, on that early morn go there to hunt eggs, or to deliver them to the feet of the pagan goddess, (False gods) to appease her so that they would be blessed with increase in the new year? Was there room for any of this silliness in the *Serious Thoughts* OF their minds? NO! But the pagans DID! So now we are gonna teach the children that this is a good thing to enact the false teachings of pagan worship and call IT good in the eyes of our Maker, and The Father of Jesus Christ? *IF* we do then our ~Report Card~ will show a Zero Minus or lower than, because we are teaching our children lies and deceitfulness…Their minds and hearts are being fill with abominable trash and taught that IT IS Good!
How many other things are brought into the Sunday School Classes, and taught to the children that IS IN FACT A LIE?
Teachers Open your Bibles and Read, Study, Learn, Before you mislead, little minds…. Pretty IS NOT always Righteous… The old saying, “Beauty IS IN The eye of the beholder”, may be acceptable in and to the flesh, but to our Maker, our LORD, only our ~Obedience~ in righteousness IS acceptable for ~Favor~ in God‘s Eyes….
(Proverbs 3:1-7)… My son, ~Forget Not~ MY Laws, but let thine heart Keep MY Commandments, for length of days, long life, and peace shall they add to thee.. Let Not mercy and truth forsake thee, bind them about thy neck, write them upon the table of thine heart, so shalt thou find ~~Favour~~ and good understanding in the Sight of God and man… Trust IN The LORD with all thine heart and lean NOT unto thine own understanding IN All thy ways *acknowledge* HIM (God not the false teachings of the world) and HE Shall direct thy paths.. Be NOT Wise in thine own eyes, fear the LORD and depart from evil…
Genesis 6:8).. Noah found Grace in the eyes of the LORD… HOW? He Proved obedient unto God… What IS Grace? God’s Favor…
SOOOooo…. What do we need to do? Step out on our own, seek our OWN imaginations of our fleshly heart, or that of others to teach in, follow the ways of the world… please ourselves in fabled tales to paint a rosy jovial picture of a ~Serious~ matter? OR Do we need to approach The Most Serious Matter of Teaching God’s Word IN Sunday School in The earnesty with which IT WAS Meant to be taught according to the Manner in Which God’s Son Jesus Christ came teaching IT?
(Luke 4:16).. Hr (Jesus ) came to Nazareth where He had been brought up, and ~~AS His Custom was, (What He did always) He wnet into the Synagogue On the Sabbath Day and He (Jesus) stood up to read .. (What DID He Read? The latest Comic Book of Caesar‘s Invention pr man‘s fables of entertainment? NO!) (v,17).. He Read The “Book of The Prophets”… (The Old Testament) on this day IT Was from the Book of Isaiah, 61: 1-2) … The Spirit of the LORD IS upon me, Because HE Hath Anointed me to preach the Gospel….. (Not The Trash of a lost and dying world BUT) The deliverance of the captives, and The Acceptable Year of THE LORD…..
The teachers, have lovingly cared for ~ALL~ their fleshly needs.. Providing them with juice cups, cookies, toys to play with, changed their diapers and diligently met the physical needs of each child…. BUT!
In the area’s of preparedness in obedience, discipline, behavior in Church, and Biblical Introduction, IF grades were honestly given out, to students and teachers as well, there would be zero’s across the board in all these areas… SAD! SAD! SAD!
And some folks want their child IN Sunday School to learn what they don’t know of The Bible… Another SAD also… Oh, excuse me, the walls do point somewhat to the Bible with cute pictures of Noah’s Ark, sheep, and such *IF* the children look they can see…. BUT THEN
IF one pays close attention in a meeting, to the manner the service is carried out in Most Sanctuaries, *IT IS* Sadly apparent that there IS Much MORE of the World present than the Spiritual Guidance needed to prepare even aged adults to face the onslaught of Satan’s devices, and lures into the sin of ~~Disobedience~~… Reckon that IS WHY, there are so many pagan customs and rituals of man incorporated and accepted into the services today as a good invention of man‘s imagination?
(I Thessalonians 4:11)… Study to be ~Quiet~, to do your own business, and to work with your own hands as we commanded you… Study What?
(II Timothy 2:15- 16)… Study to ~~Shew~~ thyself Approved~ unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth…. BUT shun ~~Profane and Vain babblings~~; for they ~~WILL Increase into more ungodliness… Study What? Books of the imaginations, fabled tales of mankind, OR THE BIBLE, God’s Book OF *ALL* Instruction that we need to know, follow, ~Obey~! WHY THE BIBLE? What does the vain babblings of of man lead TO?
So now we have children, that have been reared under the gossipy tongues of the good ladies that cared for their physical beings, moving up to a new class where they meet and ~Learn~ what?
Coloring books, crayons, more food, drinks, and play time.. But they are introduced also TO: fake tattoos, teaching them that *IT IS* A Good thing to paint your flesh, in direct contrast to The Teachings of our LORD… AND not only that but they are given super hero pictures to color because that is what they like, and after all the super hero’s do fight for what is right, so we teach that they are fighting for Jesus on His side… Never mind that IT IS A FAKE, A LIE, it seems good IT makes the children happy, so IT Must be okay… And the deacons, director, and preacher all approve with just appeasing the children, keep them quiet by letting them have their fun.
So many of these false teachings are even sold in packets in “Christian Book Stores” But then it makes money, and what harm can a little ~~USE~ of ones imagination do?
(Genesis 8:21) .. The ~~Imagination~~ of man’s heart IS evil from his youth… (what IS evil? Harmful, disagreeable, disobedient, to be in the position of the adversary which challenged God in the beginning.)
(Genesis 6:5) ..God SAW that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that !Every Imagination~ of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually….
(Jeremiah 13:10) .. This ~Evil~ people, which refuse to hear MY Words, which walk in the *Imagination* of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle which is good for nothing… (The girdle of false teachings mixed all up in the truths of God’s Written Book of ALL Instruction, may hold all the ~junk~ in for a while but soon the seams will split and junk goes flying everywhere spreading the infection of Satan’s filth all over the place…)
(Luke 1:51) .. HE (The Father) hath shewed strength with HIS Arm, (Jesus) HE Hath scattered the proud in the ~imagination~ of their hearts…
Think that as a *teacher* in God’s House of Prayer, *IT ISN’T Important* TO Adamantly Keep The Study Solely in God’s Written Word? Can we really afford to use our imagination in the teaching of little minds, IN The ONE Place that they expect to learn OF: “The Path OF Righteousness”?
There is a dozen eggs that is sold by Christian Book Stores, during this time of year, that IS Nothing more than an abomination to the Memorial of The Resurrection of Jesus… IT IS called a teaching tool to help little ones learn of the resurrection, and each brightly colored plastic egg contains a symbol that points to this event… BUT what does the package point to? Did the Mary’s that went to the tomb, the women that ~First~ carried the message of The Gospel OF Christ Resurrection, on that early morn go there to hunt eggs, or to deliver them to the feet of the pagan goddess, (False gods) to appease her so that they would be blessed with increase in the new year? Was there room for any of this silliness in the *Serious Thoughts* OF their minds? NO! But the pagans DID! So now we are gonna teach the children that this is a good thing to enact the false teachings of pagan worship and call IT good in the eyes of our Maker, and The Father of Jesus Christ? *IF* we do then our ~Report Card~ will show a Zero Minus or lower than, because we are teaching our children lies and deceitfulness…Their minds and hearts are being fill with abominable trash and taught that IT IS Good!
How many other things are brought into the Sunday School Classes, and taught to the children that IS IN FACT A LIE?
Teachers Open your Bibles and Read, Study, Learn, Before you mislead, little minds…. Pretty IS NOT always Righteous… The old saying, “Beauty IS IN The eye of the beholder”, may be acceptable in and to the flesh, but to our Maker, our LORD, only our ~Obedience~ in righteousness IS acceptable for ~Favor~ in God‘s Eyes….
(Proverbs 3:1-7)… My son, ~Forget Not~ MY Laws, but let thine heart Keep MY Commandments, for length of days, long life, and peace shall they add to thee.. Let Not mercy and truth forsake thee, bind them about thy neck, write them upon the table of thine heart, so shalt thou find ~~Favour~~ and good understanding in the Sight of God and man… Trust IN The LORD with all thine heart and lean NOT unto thine own understanding IN All thy ways *acknowledge* HIM (God not the false teachings of the world) and HE Shall direct thy paths.. Be NOT Wise in thine own eyes, fear the LORD and depart from evil…
Genesis 6:8).. Noah found Grace in the eyes of the LORD… HOW? He Proved obedient unto God… What IS Grace? God’s Favor…
SOOOooo…. What do we need to do? Step out on our own, seek our OWN imaginations of our fleshly heart, or that of others to teach in, follow the ways of the world… please ourselves in fabled tales to paint a rosy jovial picture of a ~Serious~ matter?
