Satan’s War Against Salvation. How A Person Is Saved. Explaining Free Will And Repent / Repentance In Salvation.

Satan has Already Been Defeated. Satan Has to Ask God’s Permission to Touch A Christian:

Beware Satan Is The Enemy:

1st Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Jesus Defeated Satan On The Cross

Revelation 12:12 “Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”

Satan is Defeated, he knows he Only has a Short time Left.

Luke 22:31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. 33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. 34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me. 35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. 36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. 37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. 38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.

Jesus Love!!! Jesus Prayed for Peter.

Jesus is God, He knows Everything, he knew what would happen to Peter. Jesus Not Only told Peter that he would Deny him. He Told him he would come through this Attack of the Devil…

32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

Jesus Always Gives us Hope. Especially in our Darkest Times. Jesus is Always with us.

Free Will:

Free Will means God Gives Everyone the Choice to Believe on Jesus or to Reject Jesus. No One Goes to Hell For Sin. Jesus Died For All of the Sins of the World.

https://plain-talk-christian-ministries.com/2023/04/14/jesus-died-for-all-sin/

Adam and Eve were Given Only One Sin they could commit. Just One Thing they Could Not Do.

What happened in the Garden of Eden…

Adam and Eve Rejected God. They with their Free Will Ate of the Forbidden Fruit. Eve Believed Satan and Rejected what God told her.

Salvation is A Free Gift.

Ephesians 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved) 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

See, God Gave Jesus (God in the Flesh.) to mankind to Die for the Sins of the World. Why? Because of God’s Amazing Mercy and Love.

Salvation is Simply Believing On Jesus. Salvation is Everlasting, it Never Ends.

Why are People Condemned to Hell / The Lake Of Fire? They are Condemned Only For Not Believing on Jesus. It Doesn’t Say they are Condemned For their Sins.

Beware of False Teachers that Teach: “The Sin of Unbelief.” This is NOT A Bible Teaching. They Teach This Lie because they are Pushing the Repent of Sin False Gospel.

Calvinist / Other Denominations Deny Free Will. Some False Teachers Claim that Free Will means a Person Can Give Back their Salvation.

“Here God, I want to Go to Hell, I am Giving Back your Salvation.” Yes this is What they Literally teach.

https://plain-talk-christian-ministries.com/2022/12/13/once-saved-always-saved/

There Is No Ladder, Staircase, Steps to Salvation:

If you type Salvation into a Search Engine you will find Satan’s False Plans of Salvation illustrated in pictures. In False Gospel Tracts. In False Sermons. This is All Satan’s Counterfeit Christianity.

A Typical False illustration will have a Staircase with labeled Steps.

On their unbiblical Staircase they will have Steps:

Repent of Sin (Which is also Called: Forsake Sin, Turn From Sin, Make Jesus the Lord of Your Life, Give Your Life to Jesus, etc…)

https://plain-talk-christian-ministries.com/2022/12/14/beware-of-the-repent-of-sin-false-gospel/

Keep the Law (Also said as, Remain Faithful, Submit your Life to Christ, Be Obedient to God. They have numerous terms they use to Add Works to Salvation.)

https://plain-talk-christian-ministries.com/2022/12/14/the-gospels-matthew-mark-luke-and-john-a-summary/

These People are Wicked. On one hand they Deny they believe you must Keep All of the Law. You cannot pick and choose between what Laws you Keep. They Pick Sins that will send you to Hell. They actually Teach if you are “Living in Sin.” You will Go to Hell.

“Living in Sin?” What does that even mean? Everyone, is a Sinner and Sins multiple times Daily. So Honestly Everyone is Living in Sin.

1^st John 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Yes, They Lie. They Falsely claim that they DO NOT SIN. Their False Preachers / Pastors Preach that a Christian CANNOT SIN. That they No Longer Sin… You can find them Preaching this all over YouTube with an Internet Search.

Willful Sin Is A False Teaching.

They sometimes add: “It is Impossible for A Christian to Sin Willfully.” That is their Escape Clause. They are Two Faced Liars. “We Do Not Sin.” “OK We Sin. But we Do Not Sin Willfully” What Garbage, Double Talk.

I have spoken directly to Numerous of them. They told me: “I have Not Sinned Since I was Saved.” “I have Not Committed a Willful Sin.” They ARE EVIL LIARS.

https://plain-talk-christian-ministries.com/2022/12/22/willful-sin-explaining-hebrews-chapter-10/

These Liars are Fruit Inspectors.

If they don’t see your Good Works than according to them you have No Evidence of Salvation, So you are Lost.

They Twist James Chapter 2 which is Not a Salvation Chapter and they add Works to Salvation.

They Falsely Claim if you are Not Living for Jesus than you Are Lost. They Teach the False Gospel Repent of Sin to Be Saved. They are Lordship Salvationist.

https://plain-talk-christian-ministries.com/2023/01/04/lordship-salvation-explaining-lordship-salvation/

They Teach You have to Make Jesus the Lord of Your Life. “If Jesus is Not Lord of All than he is Not Lord At All,” Is one of their Ridiculous False Teachings.

https://plain-talk-christian-ministries.com/2023/09/24/faith-without-works-is-dead-salvation-by-works/

Baptism Is Not Required to Be Saved.

They Falsely Add Water Baptism to Salvation. You will Not Find One Person who is Saved being Told to Get Baptized as part of Salvation. Baptism Happens After a Person is Saved. It is a picture of Salvation.

Going under the Water is a symbol of Jesus Death and Burial. Coming up out of the Water is a Picture of Jesus Resurrection from the Dead.

https://plain-talk-christian-ministries.com/2022/12/14/acts-238-explained/

Salvation in the Bible:

Acts 16:25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. 26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed. 27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. 29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, 30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. 32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. 33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.

Notice the Question: “What Must I Do To Be Saved?”

Understand the Answer: “Believe ON The Lord Jesus Christ, and thou Shalt Be SAVED!!!”

That is It!!!

THERE IS NOT ONE OTHER REQUIREMENT!!!

Paul Did Not Say: You Have To Repent OF YOUR SINS. You Have To Be Baptized, You Have to Agree to Keep the Whole Law, You have to Be Willing to Forsake Sin to Be Saved.

Paul Added Nothing to Salvation. Beware of Churches, People who ADD Works to Salvation.

Salvation = BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

THAT IS IT. ANYTHING ELSE ADDED IS WORKS. ADD ANYTHING ELSE TO IT AND YOU WILL GO TO HELL / THE LAKE OF FIRE, FOR ETERNITY.

The Bible is 100% Clear SALVATION Happens Immediately when a Person has Believed On The Lord Jesus Christ.

Believed What?

Believed the Gospel. Salvation happens as soon as a Person has Believed the Gospel Only for their Salvation:

Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”

The Gospel:

1^st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Paul and Silas were in Jail because they were Preaching the Gospel.

There is No Doubt that the Jailer had heard the Gospel Preached. Paul Preached the Gospel to Everyone he met.

When Paul told the Roman Jailer to Believe on The Lord Jesus Christ to Be Saved he didn’t Ask any Questions. Because He Knew the Gospel Message that Paul Preached. He knew Why Paul was in Jail.

The Jailer Believed the Gospel and Was Immediately Saved.

Paul was in and out of Jail for Preaching the Gospel.

Acts 20:22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: 23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. 24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. 25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more. 26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. 27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.

1^st Corinthians 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

It Does Not Get any more clear than: “Christ sent me NOT TO BAPTIZE,” Baptism IS NOT REQUIRED TO BE SAVED!!!.

Peter’s Gospel Message:

Peter Added Nothing to the Gospel. After both Jews and Gentiles were Saved then they were Baptized. Always in the Bible a Person is Saved then afterwards they are Baptized. They All immediately received the Holy Ghost. Read for yourselves below:

Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: 35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. 36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:) 37 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; 38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. 39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: 40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; 41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. 42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. 43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. 44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. 45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, 47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

Paul’s Gospel Ministry:

Paul Preached The Gospel Everywhere he went. He Preached On The Cross of Jesus. Jesus Crucifixion. The Passion of Jesus Christ.

Romans 1:14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise. 15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

1^st Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 29 That no flesh should glory in his presence. 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

Paul Preached The Gospel Only for Salvation. He Fought To Defend The Gospel Only For Salvation.

Paul had to Stand Against False Teachers who were adding Works (circumcision) to Salvation.

Paul Called out these False Teachers and Rejected Adding Anything to Salvation. See Below.

Acts 15:1 And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved. 2 When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question. 3 And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren. 4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them. 5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses. 6 And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter. 7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. 8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; 9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. 10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? 11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.

It is Very Difficult to Find the Gospel Only Preached in Churches. 99% of All Churches Teach Works as Part of Salvation. Jesus Warned us About this:

Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

“…and few there be that find it.” FEW is a VERY SMALL NUMBER.

Jesus is Making the POINT Almost No One will Go to Heaven Compared to Everyone that has Ever Lived.

Think of Disasters, Military Massacres… Read News stories about them. You will find: “There were a Few Survivors, 3 People were found Alive, Thousands are Known Dead.”

Satan is the god of the Earth:

2^nd Corinthians 4:1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Satan is Fighting against The Gospel Being Heard and Believed By the Lost. The Bible is Clear about this.

2nd Corinthians 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Blinded Minds…

I encounter this Numerous Times Daily. Lost People Refuse to Hear the Gospel. They Mock the Gospel / Christians.

Counterfeit Christians Sharing their False Works Based Gospel, they are Blinded. They Refuse to Hear the Truth. Even When I Prove to them they Are Not Teaching what the Bible Says. That they are Twisting the Scriptures and Taking Verses out of Context.

They Don’t Care… Their Reply to me After I Exposed them. “Well, I Don’t Care!!! This is What I was Taught in Church by my Pastor. I just Don’t know how to Defend what I was Taught. Just Because I Don’t know the Bible as Good as you Do Doesn’t mean you are Right and I am Wrong.” All of this After I proved that they were Wrong with the Bible. They are Blinded and Refuse to Believe the Truth. They Reject What the Bible Says.

It is a WASTE OF TIME trying to talk to anyone that Refuses to Listen to the Gospel.

It is impossible to Force anyone to Believe The Gospel.

Just Sharing the Gospel recently, (This happens to me a lot.) I was Falsely Accused of Beating People over the Head with the Bible. Of being Holier-Then-Thou. A Counterfeit Christian Falsely Accused me.

In Truth I Don’t Waste my time with People who Don’t Want to Hear the Gospel.

Counterfeit Christians Get Very Nasty:

They are full of False Accusations: You are Shoving the Bible Down People’s Throats! “Don’t Shove the Bible Down my Throat!!!” Beating People with the Bible are Frequent Accusations. The Bible Obviously Offends them. That is Clear. They Hate The Bible, God’s Word. That is why the Accuse Christians of Beating People over the Head with the Bible. Being Holy Rollers, Jesus Freaks, etc… They Hate God, Jesus, Hearing God’s Word.

These People Can Not Hide their Hatred. They, Including So Called Christians Get Mad Instantly. They Start to Swear. Yes I have received Numerous of replies online that have included swear Words. “F-OFF.” “F-U” Every Swear Word you can Think of they have used against me. I have Gotten a lot of Death Threats, many from Counterfeit Christians.

I have been Physically attacked several times When Sharing the Gospel Face to Face. I have been hit, threatened with knives for Asking People if they had a minute to hear the Gospel.

They are Satanic.

I think many are Possessed with Devils. The Bible talks about people Possessed with Devils. This is Still happening.

What was my Crime? I Exposed a False Gospel being Shared. I said it was a Works Based Salvation, and I included a Link to one of my Blog Posts talking about this False Gospel.

Please Do Not Let “Christians” Shut you up.

They will Gang Up on you in Person and online. They will Say Stop Arguing Christians are All Suppose to Get along and not Argue with Each Other.

As Soon as you hear this or something similar. You need to Immediately Reply. None of You are Christians. You are Pushing a False Gospel of Works.

What happens everyday online, thousand of times a day, is You will be Exposing a False Gospel being Shared and many people will be in the conversion. Sometime more people will agree with you than those who are Fighting Against you.

The People Fighting Against you want to make you Shut Up Quickly. They are Satan’s Minions. Satan doesn’t want the Truth to be Told.

Never Shut Up when People are Hearing you Share The Gospel.

Satan Controls the Airwaves, the Internet:

The people in Media, who run All Communications on the Earth are Not Christians. They are Minions of Satan. Lost People Serving Satan.

You might find these words Harsh… Jesus Said if you are Not Saved you are a Child of Satan.

It is a Spiritual Battle.

Satan is Blinding People’s Minds So they will Not Hear / Believe the Gospel.

John 12:23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. 24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. 26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. 27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. 28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. 29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him. 30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. 31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. 32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. 33 This he said, signifying what death he should die. 34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? 35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. 36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them. 37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: 38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? 39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, 40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. 41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

Nostalgia And The Stages Of Life: Explaining Ecclesiastes Chapters 3 And 12

How To Understand Your Life At Any Age. Nostalgia Looking Back Fondly At Your Youth…

Ecclesiastes 12:1 “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;”

The Bible does not sugar coat things. Ecclesiastes Chapter 12 is talking about growing old.

Verse 1 Is Very Bleak. Remember God now today while you are still young. Before the Evil days come upon you. “The Hardships of old age, being Weak and Frail…”

Remember God in your Youth. Before you only have a few years left to live, When You Have No Pleasure In Your Life.

This Verse Is Very Dark. When a person is Old and Frail their life is Hard because of age. Depression is difficult to avoid the older a person gets.

Living to be Very Old:

You might outlive everyone you ever knew including a husband or a wife, you could outlive your children…

Nostalgia at this time of life might just make you cry harder thinking of everything you have lost.

Nostalgia

Nostalgia is Typically Bad. I know People who are 30+ years old that live in the Past. For many of them Nothing in the Future will Ever be as Good as the Past.

God Says Not to Live in the Past

Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

Philippians 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

Luke 9:62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

The Point being made is: For a Christian Life Begins When we are Saved.

We should Not Be Looking Back at our past Sinful Lives, Desiring to Go Back to that Old Wicked Life.

God Warns us of Nostalgia, Looking Back At Our Past. Because Doing So Will Cause us to Fall Backwards into our Past Sins.

Proverbs 26:11 “As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.”

2^nd Peter 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: 10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. 11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. 12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; 13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the daytime. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; 14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: 15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; 16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet. 17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

Ecclesiastes 12:1 “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;”

This verse is Dark but, I do not think we are suppose to take it as being Dark. The verse starts with: “Remember now thy Creator…”

If we live our lives with God at the Center than we will be able to deal Successfully with Everything Life Throws at us at Anytime in our lives. We will Not Need to Fear Old Age, the Future.

Do Not Fear Old Age. God Will Help us through it. It is a Privilege to be Allowed to Grow Old.

Isaiah 46:4 And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.

Leviticus 19:32 Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the Lord.

Psalms 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. 4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. 5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

The Message is If You Live your Life Serving Jesus God will Stand with You.

God will Bless You with Health and Strength Throughout your Entire Life, Even When You are Very Old, Which is a Privilege.

If God is our Everything we will not Live with Regrets. We will look forward to going to Heaven to be with Jesus.

Philippians 4:7 “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

A Tough part about Living, about Life is our Hearts and our Minds.

A good portion of the Bible is about the Heart, about our Minds our Thoughts.

To have a Good Heart, a Good Mind we need to Live for Jesus. If we do God will Give us Peace. A peace that we can not even understand.

How To Have Perfect Peace And Joy During Your Entire Life:

Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. 5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

Are you Nostalgic? Nostalgia:

A song, a smell, a taste, a memory will bring you back to your youth. To better days??? To days and times you miss. To people you have not seen for a bunch of years, maybe decades. You will remember people now long dead… People you will never see again…

Nostalgia the dictionary definition: A sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations: “I was overcome with acute Nostalgia for my days in High School”

After your High School Graduation your Life will Immediately change Forever. Suddenly you have no time for anything but higher education and work.

Before you know it years have passed by. Maybe your life is better than you dreamed it would be. Maybe you are twice divorced with 4 kids and it is a real struggle to pay all your bills.

It did not take me long to be Nostalgic, Just a Few Days.

I was in the middle of Navy Boot Camp and thinking: “I wish this old guy (Company Commander) would Stop Yelling at me with his face less than an inch from mine… I miss having Fun with my High School Friends.”

Life can get REAL. Quick.

It did for me. The Navy was Tough Physically and Mentally. I was 16 when I joined the Navy. (The Delayed entry program) I was 17 in boot camp.

Life Accelerates Fast when we have to Live on our own to support ourselves. And in time having to support others. Life is Real when you have No Net To Catch you when you Fall.

Life is different for everyone.

We all do not have the same Level of Success. We Also Don’t All Go Through the Same Hardships, Failures…

Nostalgia can bring a smile to your face. Brief Nostalgia is OK. Living in the Past Though is Bad.

I know People who are Obsessed with the Past.

They are So Obsessed with the Past that they can No Longer Enjoy their Present Life. I have Stopped Seeing and Talking to Most Everyone from My Past. Because I Noticed All We Talked about Every Time is the Past. The Conversations were All the Same… I Refuse to Live in the Past.

Briefly Remembering People Fondly is Good.

People we No Longer See for Various Reasons we often find ourselves thinking about. Everyone Thinks Back on the Happy Times they had with Family, Friends and Dead Friends and Relatives. We Miss the Time we Spent with them.

Be Careful Not to Let these Memories Ruin your Present, by Thinking the Best of Your Life is Now Past.

Don’t Let the Memories of the Past of Now Dead Friends and Family Rule you.

This type of Nostalgia Causes Serious Depression. Dwelling on people who are Gone from your Life, who you can No Longer Spend time with is Self Destructive.

When a person is Young Aging is Not something they think about.

Today Most Young People Live Only in the Moment, Not Thinking too far ahead.

Parents, Older people Tell Kids “Enjoy your school years. When you have to start Working for a Living the Work will Never End. You will Not Have All the Free Time you have Today, so enjoy this time in your Life.” I Remember Being Told this a Lot. I understand it.

(For Me. Home was a Horror Story, a Prison. Going to School was a Necessary Evil. Other Kids were Distant, many were Cruel. Looking Back I Did Not have One Actual Friend. No One who Cared About me. Leaving Home Gave me Freedom. My Life became Much Better when I became an Adult and Gained my Freedom.)

Sadly Depression In Children is at Epidemic Levels. Child Suicide is Incredibly High.

Tragically Some People Never Enjoy Even One Day Of Their Lives.

Explaining Ecclesiastes Chapter 12:

Ecclesiastes Chapter 12 Verses 1-7: Describe Old Age, they are addressed to the Youth:

Ecclesiastes 12:1 “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;”

This Is A Warning From God About How Age Can Be a Real Hardship.

The Main Point is: “Remember now thy Creator”

If You Remember God in Everything You Do Throughout Your Life I Don’t Think The Rest of the Verse will apply to You.

Evil Days and No Pleasure, Don’t Happen At Any Time To A Christian Walking With God.

(This IS NOT To Say. Christians Don’t Have Hard Times in their Lives. But With God They Are Never Evil Days without Pleasure. If You Read the Whole Bible You will see this is True.)

Ecclesiastes 12:2 While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:

The gradual Darkening of the heavenly bodies represents Declining Vitality and Joy.

The approaching clouds represent the Storms of Old Age.

Ecclesiastes 12:3 In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,

All of this is describing the later years of a person’s life. The strongest man will be bowed, if he lives long enough. The tremble show weakness in the body. And / Or Fear of the last days of Life.

The hands and arms which protect the body, as guards do a palace, shake in old age. The legs, like supporting pillars, weaken. The Grinders are the teeth and those who watch through the windows are the eyes.

In old age people sometimes stand at the window looking out contemplating their past (Nostalgia.) Life is not as bright as it was in their Youth. They can feel their Life fading away. Vision becomes weaker as the end of this Life nears.

The keepers of the house are the arms. The strong men are the legs. The grinders are the teeth. Those that look out of the windows: The Windows are Eyes. This verse is Clearly talking about how Age Affects our Bodies in Very Old Age. The Physical Decline of our Bodes in Old Age.

Growing old is further compared to the decline of a House.

Ecclesiastes 12:4 And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low;

“Doors” = Lips. The Verse is Describing The difficulty of the Elderly to Speak. Being Mute. Many People who are Very Old have a hard time Speaking, or lose the Ability to Speak.

The Grinding is Low: Is the loss of Teeth. “Sound of the grinding” refers to eating little, when the sound of eating is low. The Very Old Get to the point they can no longer chew food.

And he shall rise up at the voice of a bird: Rise from the bed after being awaken by Birds. Having been tired with lying in bed unable to get good sleep. (Insomnia is common in Elderly people.)

As soon as the birds begin to chirp, sing the Elderly Awake. This is early in the morning. In Contrast Young people can lie down and sleep all night long.

“daughters of music”: The ear and voice that once loved music.

The sounds a person will hear in life will not be as Loud and Distinct as they had been, because of Hearing Loss. All the senses, parts of the body, which are employed in hearing music, will stop working correctly. They can No Longer Make or Enjoy Music.

Ecclesiastes 12:5 “Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:”

The aged become Fearful of heights. They are not as sure of themselves, as they were in their Youth. There is Fear of falling and breaking something. As we Age we do not heal as quickly as we did in our Youth. Fear is not the only reason. Our strength is not what it was when we were Young.

Fear, in the verse above, is speaking of a time when we are not as self-confident as we were in our Youth. The almond tree blooms turn from pink to white when the season is about over. This, symbolizes the white hair that comes with Age. The grasshopper is associated with pestilence, disease. When we Age sickness is always a Fear.

“Desire” is speaking of the Lusts of Youth which fade away with age. Man “goeth to his long home” is speaking of Heaven. The mourners are there, because the time of his funeral is near.

Ecclesiastes 6 and 7, are speaking of Death.

Ecclesiastes 12:6 “Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.”

The silver “cord being loosed” and the “bowl being broken” is speaking of the Life of man being over, or poured out. Age has cut him off from Life. The water of Life, now, Does Not Flow.

Ecclesiastes 12:7 “Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.”

When a Person Dies They Turn to Dust.

This verse completes The Aging Process, Death. God ends this message with the Culmination of a Human Life.

The life within the flesh is the spirit of man. It lives on.

Genesis 2:7 “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”

Genesis 3:19 “In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou [art], and unto dust shalt thou return.”

Job 1:21 “And said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.”

1^st Timothy 6:7 “For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.”

1^stCorinthians 15:44 “It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.”

The spiritual body rises to Heaven.

This Depressing, Dark, Gloomy picture of Old Age Does Not change the Truth that Old Age can be Blessed by God for the godly.

Proverbs 16:31 “The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.”

Hoary Head is Gray or White Hair descriptive of Age, being Elderly.

The Message to the Young is:

They Will Not have the ability to enjoy the Blessings of a Healthy Old Age if they do not Remember their Creator while Young. (Verse 1)

A Person who Remembers God, is someone who Lives a godly Christian Life, in Service to God. Living their Life according to the Bible.

Ecclesiastes 12:8 “Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.”

God is Saying Living in the Flesh is Vanity. The Bible Definition of Vanity is: Human Life apart from God, even at its Best, has No Significance it is Valueless.

A Person is a Body – The Flesh. A Soul – A Duplicate Eternal Body inside the Flesh that is invisible to the eyes. And a Spirit. The Human Spirit is like a Vapor. It is like Air. It is Not a Solid substance. When You Talk to yourself it is your Soul and Spirit Talking to Each other.

God Wants us to Live in the Spirit which Doesn’t have the Sinful Desires of the Flesh. Note our Soul and our Flesh are Very Similar with Thoughts, Emotions and Desires. The Spirit of a Saved Man Doesn’t have Sinful Desires like the Flesh and the Soul.

Understanding the Body, the Soul, and the Spirit is Complicated. To Learn more open the link below:

Body, Soul, And Spirit (soulwinning.info)

Christians are supposed to Live after the spirit, Not after the Human Flesh, Fulfilling Human Desires.

The Frailty of Mortal things:

What is born of the Flesh is Flesh. The Flesh returns to the dirt.

Ecclesiastes 12:9 “And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.”

The wisdom given to Solomon was for him to judge his people justly and wisely. He used proverbs and parables to teach the people how to lead a better life on the earth. His goal was to help his people. He did, and in doing so he taught us as well.

1st Kings 4:32 “And he spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five.”

Ecclesiastes 12:10 “The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.”

Solomon was committed to the Truth. The words he spoke and wrote were not his own. They were placed into his mind by God, when he received the gift of wisdom.

1st Kings 4:29 “And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore.”

30 “And Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.”

Solomon’s wisdom was not of this world, it was a Gift from God.

Ecclesiastes 12:11 “The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.”

“Goads … as nails”: Two shepherd’s tools are in view: one used to motivate reluctant animals. The other to secure those who might otherwise wander into dangerous territory. Both goads and nails picture aspects of applied wisdom.

“One Shepherd” True wisdom has its source in God alone.

Finally, the Controlling Factor of all of Life should be the Fear of God.

You should Live your Life according to God’s word. The certainty of God’s final judgment demands it.

Proverbs 1:7 “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: [but] fools despise wisdom and instruction”.

God’s Final Word on the issues raised in Ecclesiastes Chapter 12, as well as in Life itself, focuses on a person’s relationship to God.

The Saved, Believers, Christians will be Judged at the Judgment Seat of Christ… All the Lost will be Judged at the White Throne Judgment.

Judgment / Retribution is the real Equalizer, for God will bring every person’s Deeds to Judgment.

Unbelievers and some believers will stand at the Great White Throne judgment (Rev. 20:11-15). Everyone who Rejected Jesus will be cast into the Lake of Fire. Everyone who Accepted Jesus will be given a Crown of Life.

At the end of Life, We Will All Face Complete Accountability to God. This Judgment of us by Jesus on our Lives is both Eternal and Irrevocable.

Ecclesiastes 12:12 “And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.”

This is very true. Mankind is constantly trying to learn New things from books. Gaining knowledge by reading books takes a lot of work. The continuous study of books becomes wearisome, as we grow older.

Ecclesiastes 12:13 “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.”

Jesus summed it up like this:

Mark 12:30 “And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.” 31 “And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.”

Ecclesiastes 12:14 “For God shall bring every

work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.”

Ecclesiastes Chapter 3 and Chapter 12 are covering the same Subject: Human Life. God’s Instructions on how to Live. His Warnings about the Negative Possibilities in Life if you Do Not Serve him by Living a godly Christian Life according to the Bible.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. 9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? 10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. 11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. 12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. 13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. 14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. 15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past. 16 And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. 17 I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work. 18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts. 19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. 20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. 21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth? 22 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?

Please, if you have not already Asked Jesus to Save you. Please Ask Him Right Now.

1st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

King David: A Man After God’s Own Heart. A Very Flawed Man.

The Mystery of King David

Countless People, Christians, Pastors, Churches, etc…, Scoff at King David Actually Being a Man After God’s Own Heart.

Other people Understand:

It Is Impossible for Mankind to Understand God:

Job 36:26 Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.

Romans 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! 34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? 35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? 36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. 10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

God Knows what is in Everyone’s Heart

1^st Kings 8:39 Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;)

1^st Chronicles 28:9 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever. 10 Take heed now; for the Lord hath chosen thee to build an house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it.

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

Below is the passage where God tells Samuel that he has Picked David to be King over Saul because of David’s Heart.

1^st Samuel 16:7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.

King David was a man after God’s Own Heart

1^st Samuel 13:13 And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the Lord thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the Lord have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever. 14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the Lord hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the Lord hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the Lord commanded thee.

Acts 13:22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will. 23 Of this man’s seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

1^st Kings 15:1 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah. 2 Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom. 3 And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as the heart of David his father. 4 Nevertheless for David’s sake did the Lord his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem: 5 Because David did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

Ezekiel 37:24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. 25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.

King David is Proof God Can Use Very Flawed People

King David was a Murderer. He was Sexually Out Of Control.

His Lust for Bathsheba took control of him. He had her husband Uriah Killed. Uriah was a Brave Man. He was a faithful servant to King David.

2^nd Samuel 11:2 And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king’s house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon. 3 And David sent and enquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bath-sheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite? 4 And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house. 5 And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child. 6 And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David. 7 And when Uriah was come unto him, David demanded of him how Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered. 8 And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king’s house, and there followed him a mess of meat from the king. 9 But Uriah slept at the door of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house. 10 And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from thy journey? why then didst thou not go down unto thine house? 11 And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing. 12 And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and to morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow. 13 And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house. 14 And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah. 15 And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die. 16 And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men were. 17 And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.

Despite of All of David’s Many Flaws He was Still God’s Chosen King, A Man After His Own Heart.

If you read the entire Bible you will see David’s Good Heart. David Did Not Sin and Think that What he Did was OK. David was very Sorrowful For His Sins. David Sought God’s Forgiveness.

David’s Acknowledgment, His Feeling the Weight, the Guilt Over his Sins, sets him apart from most people. David was Physically Pained over his Sins. He kept Sinning in a Big Way…

David is so complex it is extremely difficult to understand him. I think David was tempted by Satan more than anyone else, besides Jesus. He just couldn’t keep himself from all of his Sinful Desires.

David wrote most of the Psalms in the Bible.

You can see his Closeness with God and his Good Heart if you read them.

Psalms 23:1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

David’s Grief Over His Sins:

I AM SORRY…. PLEASE FORGIVE ME….

Psalms 38:15 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God. 16 For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me. 17 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me. 18 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin. 19 But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. 20 They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is. 21 Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.

Psalm 51:1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. 5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. 6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. 7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. 14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. 15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. 16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. 18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. 19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

King David he was a Powerful, Remarkable Confusing person.

Yes as I have explained David did some Horrible Truly Terrible things including: Murder and Adultery. After he Sinned he was Sorry and he did Ask for God’s Forgiveness.

David was Incredibly Reckless. Having Sex with someone’s Wife is No accident. David Lusted after Bathsheba for a long time. He created an opportunity to Sin against Uriah to have Sex with his wife Bathsheba.

Only after David’s Sin was exposed by Nathan the Prophet did he feel anything Wrong about what he had done.

Adultery and Murder. David was Ruled by his Passions.

2nd Samuel 12:1 And the LORD sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.2 The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds:3 But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter.4 And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor man’s lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.5 And David’s anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the LORD liveth, the man that hath done this thing shall surely die:6 And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.7 And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;8 And I gave thee thy master’s house, and thy master’s wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things.9 Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.10 Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.11 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.12 For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.13 And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.

Lessons you can Learn From King David:

Do not Be Like King David when he was Sinning. Who was only Sorry after he was Caught Red Handed.

If you are Caught…. and then say I am Sorry Only because you were Caught, No Matter how many Tears you shed, that Apology is Very Meaningless, Empty.

If you have Wronged someone. The best thing to do is to Stop your behavior.

If it makes sense you should Apologize if you are Actually Sorry.

Often saying I am Sorry only Hurts someone Worse than if you Did Not Say I am Sorry.

People Typically Find the Words: “I am Sorry.” Empty and Meaningless.

If you are Actually Sorry for what you have done and want to Confess and you are seeking Forgiveness than you Should Apologize.

Apologize without any expectations.

You might not be Forgiven. In Truth it is unlikely that you will be Forgiven, even if they say they Forgive you. Most People hold Grudges Forever. They will Never Trust you again.

I am Deeply Sorry for Numerous things I have done as a Child and As an Adult. Yes. I have asked for forgiveness. I have said I am Sorry.

Saying I am Sorry…

That is for you to Clear your Conscious. You Feel your Guilt Overwhelming you…. You Feel like you could Explode because the Guilt is eating you up so you Say: I am Sorry.

A person hearing “I am Sorry….” They might just say rightly. “No!!!!” “You are not Sorry…” “If You were Sorry You Never would have done it…”

They might be Kind, Gracious and say, I Forgive you.

Sometimes all you can do is to Go Away and Never talk to, Never see that person Ever Again. This includes your Family.

Many people have done things that cause them to Lose their entire Family.

My Best Friend in High School Murdered his Pregnant Wife (Twins) he will never get out of Prison. I know he doesn’t get any Visitors. He was around 22 years old at the time. A long time to live afterwards…

You don’t have to be a Murderer to Lose your Family and Friends. Being a Thief, a Sexual Deviant, etc…, will ruin your Life once you are caught.

So, Don’t be that type of Person.

Maybe you have Lost all your Friends and Family… You have to Start Over. Stop the Behavior that caused you to Loose them. God Does Forgive Sins.

You can Rebuild your Life with God’s Help…

God can and will Still Use you if you Don’t Give Up and Change. The Big Lesson of David’s Life to Understand is God Can Use us even After we have Been a Horrible Person.

Our Sins, our Actions have Consequences. It is Better to Never have to say I Am Sorry.

Things we say. Things we Do Can Never Be Taken Back.

We have to live with what we do. The Bad, The Evil we do Hurts people. Hurts us.

We do not have to live a life where we are constantly saying and doing things we will Regret.

How to Be Saved:

Jonah And Lot Are Examples of God’s Mercy

Jonah was a very complicated person.

Thousands of Sermons, Let alone Children’s Bible Lessons, have been given on the Book of Jonah. It is rich with Bible Lessons to be taught and Learned.

Jonah was a Vile Wicked Person:

Jonah 4:11 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry. 2 And he prayed unto the Lord, and said, I pray thee, O Lord, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil. 3 Therefore now, O Lord, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live. 4 Then said the Lord, Doest thou well to be angry?

Jonah was Displeased with and Angry at God… Wow!!!

I have seen this attitude in “Christians” for over 40 years. There is a Lot of Hate in “Christians” in Pastor’s.

I know Pastor’s that are Like Jonah. These Wicked Pastor’s do Not Want to See Everyone Saved. One example is they Hate Homosexuals. If they have anything to do with them it is Full of Hate.

News Flash Homosexuality is Not an Unforgivable Sin.

Yes Saved people can be and many are Homosexuals. Just like there are Christians caught up in Numerous Sins: Adultery, Cheating on their Wives / their Husbands, Fornication, Being Drunks, Drug Addiction, etc…, the List of Sins is extremely Long.

There are Hate Groups that Parade about as “Christians” as “Christian Churches” that attend LGBTQIA+ events Not to Try and see anyone Saved. They go to Mock, to Attack them Not to Share the Gospel.

Wicked Vile Christians:

These Wicked People (Some of them are probably Saved Like Jonah…) Do Not Want Homosexuals to Be Saved. They are Hypocrites. They discount their own Sins… They think they are Better than the Homosexuals. I have News for You. Your own Sins are Not Better than the Sin of Homosexuality. Homosexuality is a Sin like Smoking, Drinking, Sexual Sins, Drug Addiction, any Other Addiction.

I have seen these type of “Christian” Hypocrites that Get into other People’s Faces about Sin, I have seen them Smoking, doing things that they get into other people’s faces about. I Even knew a Church going closet Homosexual who was like this.

Closeted Homosexuals in numerous Baptist Churches (Not All, a portion of them.) will attend Anti-Homosexual Rallies and be one of the Biggest voices Condemning them. The History of Congress / Politicians has shown us that Many outspoken Politicians that have made it their mission to Speak out against Homosexuals are themselves Homosexuals.

Jonah Finally Does What God Told him to Do.

Jonah 3:1 And the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the second time, saying, 2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. 3 So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days’ journey. 4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. 5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. 6 For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. 7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water: 8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. 9 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? 10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.

Jonah 3:9,10 are used by False Teachers to Teach the False Gospel of Repent of Sin to Be Saved. The context of Jonah 3:9,10 is very important. Please read to the end. I will explain Jonah 3:9,10 below.

Hypocrites are Everywhere. Jonah was a Huge Hypocrite.

Jonah was a very Poor Excuse for an Evangelist. He was a Bitter Judgmental Hypocrite that was Happy to see Thousands of people killed by God. He was Angry that God did Not Just Kill them. He wanted to see God Kill them. Jonah was a Blood Thirsty Psychopath.

Jonah and Lot

The Bible depiction of Jonah and Lot are very similar in one aspect. They both had the opportunity to Save a City / Cities. With Lot he was tasked with Saving The Cities On The Plain. Which included Sodom and Gomorrah.

Both Lot and Jonah had the ability to Save a City / Cities from destruction. Lot wanted to Save the lives of all the people in all the Cities on the plain. But Jonah on the other hand Hated the people of Nineveh and wanted to Watch Them All Burn like Sodom and Gomorrah did.

Saved People, Evangelist, etc…, Can Be Vile Sinners.

The Scriptures show that Jonah was Vile. Jonah was and remained a man of God… Lot is Vile as well Remember he had Sex with his two daughters. But at least he wanted to Save Lives so I put Lot way ahead of Jonah.

Proof that God Wrote the Bible is seen in the depictions of both Jonah and Lot.

The Bible shows how Vile they Both were. (Lot had Sex with Both of his Daughters.) The Bible doesn’t cover up the Sins of Bible Saints. Yes both Lot and Jonah were Saints of God. They were imperfect but God still used them.

Lot’s Task:

Lot was tasked with having to have Saved 10 souls only his own household. His household would have been much more than 10 souls. For example Abraham’s household was in the hundreds.

Genesis 18:23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? 24 Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?

Abraham expected that Lot would have at least 10 members of his household who were Saved. So when Abraham was able to get God to agree to spare the Cites if 10 righteous people were found he stopped thinking that Lot certainly had 10 people Saved in his household.

There is Only One True Way to Be Saved in the Bible:

Bible Salvation is Believing the Gospel Only to be Saved. No person has / will go to Hell the Lake of Fire because of Sin. Jesus died for all Sin.

John 1:29 “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”

Hebrews 10:12 “But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;”

2nd Corinthians 5:15 “And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.”

1st Peter 3:18 “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:”

1st John 2:2 “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.”

1st John 3:5 “And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.”

Hebrews 9:13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

A Testament is God’s contract with Mankind on how he is dealing with man in regard to Mankind’s Salvation.

God gave Israel the Law in the Old Testament.

The Testator of the Old Testament were animals like sheep.

The New Testament Testator was Jesus. Jesus death began the New Testament.

In the New Testament Salvation is defined as the Gospel:

1st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

A person is Saved by Believing in Jesus as the only way to Heaven. Believing that Jesus death, burial and resurrection is the only possible payment for our Sins. The only way to be Saved is putting our faith in Jesus to save us.

Were Old Testament Believers Saved by Jesus Only too?

Yes.

Jesus’ Death on the Cross Gives Eternal Salvation for All Believers, whether they lived before or after him.

In both the Old and New Testament everyone is Saved By Grace, through Faith in Jesus.

The Law was given to Show all Mankind that no one could keep the Law. The Law showed us that we were Sinners in need of a Saviour.

The death of animals were the Testator of the Old Testament to show that Sin required a Blood Sacrifice.

Believers in the Old Testament were not saved by being obedient to the law of God. The Bible clearly teaches this:

Romans 3:20 “Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.”

We are not good enough to earn Heaven. That is true for us now, and it was also true for believers in the Old Testament.

Old Testament Believers were not Saved by animal sacrifices:

Hebrews 10:4 “For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.”

The Old Testament sacrifices pointed towards the one sacrifice that Jesus would make on the cross to bring Eternal Salvation.

Like New Testament believers, Old Testament believers were Justified by Grace through Faith Alone in Jesus.

Abraham:

Genesis 15:6 “And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness.”

Galatians 3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

You Must Understand That There Is Only One True Gospel.

The Bible here in Galatians 3 said that God preached the Gospel to Abraham.

Galatians 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Lot’s and Jonah’s tasks were the same.

Lot failed to Save 10 souls. Jonah was very successful, despite his own feelings, in Saving enough Souls that God decided to Spare Nineveh.

Jonah 3:9 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? 10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.

Explaining Jonah 3:9,10

10 And God saw their works…

Their Works… God is Telling us here that Turning From Sins their Evil Way is Works.

I hear Countless People who push the Repent of Sin False Gospel Say that Repenting of Sin is Not Works. God Clearly says that it is Works. Repent of Sin is also called: To Forsake Sin and To Turn From Sin to be Saved.

The people of Nineveh were trusting in their Own Good Works to Save them just like every Lost person in history. The Evil way they Turned from was not Sin, it was Trusting in their own Good Works.

The people of Nineveh were Saved by Believing the Gospel Only.

Abraham was Lot’s brother and Abraham knew the Gospel so it is a given that Lot also knew the Gospel and Believed the Gospel just like Abraham.

Jonah God’s Evangelist, he obviously knew the Gospel. He was an Evangelist, a Soul Winner. If you understand the entire Bible you will see that the Gospel started in Genesis and is present throughout the whole Bible.

Jonah 3:5 “So the people of Nineveh believed God…”

Nineveh was Saved by the people in Nineveh that Believed God. The only way to be Saved is to Believe the Gospel in both the Old and New Testaments.

The people of Nineveh did not just Believe that God would destroy Nineveh (They obviously knew that God had destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.) that fact was a given. Jonah’s Preaching showed them they were Trusting in their Own Good Works to Save themselves.

Jonah 3:5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. 6 For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. 7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water: 8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. 9 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? 10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.

FORGIVEN: JESUS FORGIVES. JESUS’ MERCIFUL FORGIVENESS

Jesus Ministry of Forgiveness

Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Matthew 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

Colossians 1:4 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

Colossians 1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

Salvation = Accepting Jesus Forgiveness

Free Will Allows us to Either Accept Jesus Forgiveness or to Reject Jesus: Reject Jesus Mercy his Forgiveness.

Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. 35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God. 36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar, 37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself. 38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, This Is The King Of The Jews. 39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. 40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. 42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. 43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. 44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. 45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. 46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. 47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. 48 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned. 49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

Salvation is as Simple as Asking Jesus to Save You.

Before the Thief on the Cross Asked Jesus to Save him, Jesus had already Forgiven him.

No One Goes to Hell for Sin. People Go to Hell Only Because they Reject Jesus Forgiveness, His Free Gift of Salvation.

Why do People Reject Jesus?

Because People Are Proud. They Don’t Want to Be Saved. They Don’t Want to Be Told what is Right and What is Wrong.

Judges 21:25 In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.

Psalms 12:4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

Proverbs 14:9 Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour. 10 The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy. 11 The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish. 12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. 13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness. 14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself. 15 The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going. 16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident. 17 He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated. 18 The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

Micah 2:1 Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand. 2 And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.

Job 21:13 They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave. 14 Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways. 15 What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him? 16 Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me. 17 How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger. 18 They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.

The Lost Cry: Do Not Judge Me!!!

Do Not Judge Me!!! People Love to say this. They Hate Jesus / Christianity because they Do Not Want to be Held accountable for the Sins they Commit. They Love Being Wicked.

Proverbs 6:12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth. 13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers; 14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord. 15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy. 16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Proverbs 2:11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: 12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things; 13 Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness; 14 Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked; 15 Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths: 16 To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words; 17 Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God. 18 For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead. 19 None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life. 20 That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.

This Type of Person, an EVIL Woman Loves her Sin. She Denies it is Sin.

Proverbs 30:20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.

Men and Women Love their SINS and Deny that it is Even SIN. They are Not even a Little bit Ashamed of their Sins.

God Warns us about EVIL. There are EVIL Men and Women. The above passages are a Warning. People Hate the Bible because it Tells them who they are. It tells them NOT TO SIN.

EVIL Men and Women they Love the EVIL that they do. They want to Corrupt as many people as possible.

SEX Obsession Destroys!!!

Society Worships SEX.

A Man cannot be a Man Until He Has Has SEX… This is what Society says. SEX makes a Girl a Woman according to Society… Men and Women are Driven, Controlled by SEX!!!

Children are Sexualized by Hollywood. Preteen Girls and Boys are made SEX objects in Magazines, Online, on TV, in Movies.

Lolita (1955, Pedophile SEX being Normalized is Nothing New.) is about a Man’s Obsession and Sexual affair with a 12 year old Girl. Hollywood has made several films about this Novel. And countless similar Movies with Men and even Women having Sex with young Children. Book and Film critics say Lolita is ART.

Hollywood, Books, the Media, Sell SEX!!! The message is SEX is OK, Is Amazing, with Anyone you want to have SEX with, their Age doesn’t Matter…

People in this EVIL World LOVE Their SIN. They Think Everything they Do is Right.

Luke 16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. 15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

Titus 1:15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. 16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

Proverbs 16:25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. 26 He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him. 27 An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire. 28 A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends. 29 A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good. 30 He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.

Proverbs 21:2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts. 3 To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. 4 An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin. 5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want. 6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death. 7 The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment. 8 The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right. 9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house. 10 The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes. 11 When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge. 12 The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.

Proud of Sin!!!

Isaiah 3:9 The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves. 10 Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. 11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.

2^nd Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

Wicked EVIL People:

Proverbs 28:1 The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

1^st John 5:19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. 20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

Psalms 5:4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee. 5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity. 6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

Psalms 34:10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing. 11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord. 12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? 13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. 14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. 15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. 16 The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. 17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. 18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. 19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. 20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken. 21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate. 22 The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.

Why Do People Go To Hell?

People Go To Hell For Rejecting Jesus. They Get Mad at Being Told they Need to be Forgiven. They Hate Jesus. They Love their Sin. They Hate Being Made to Feel Guilty for their Sinful Behavior.

John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

John 8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. 46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? 47 He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. 48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? 49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. 50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. 51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. 52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

People who Reject Jesus Hate Jesus.

John 7:6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready. 7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

To Be Saved a person has to Realize they are Lost, a Sinner that Needs to be Saved from Hell.

Jesus Preached the Forgiveness of Sin.

That he was the Savior who came to Save the World. Jesus Came to Pay the Penalty for All of the Sins of the World.

John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

John 12:44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. 45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. 46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. 47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. 48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. 49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. 50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

Matthew 20:28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.

As God Jesus had the Power to Forgive Sin

Matthew 9:2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee. 3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth. 4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? 5 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk? 6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house. 7 And he arose, and departed to his house. 8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.

Luke 7:47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. 48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. 49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also? 50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

People Go to Hell Because they Refuse to Believe on Jesus Only to Save them.

John 10:22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. 23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch. 24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. 25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me. 26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and my Father are one. 31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. 32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? 33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. 34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? 37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. 39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand, 40 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode. 41 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true. 42 And many believed on him there.

Is Halloween Just Harmless Fun?

The Pagan Origin of Halloween

The name “Halloween” comes from the Roman Catholic Church celebration of All Saints Day. A day set aside for the Remembrance of the Martyrs, Catholic Heroes.

All Hallows Eve, the evening before All Saints Day, begins this time of Remembrance. “All Hallows Eve” was eventually contracted to “Hallow-e’en,” which became “Halloween.”

All Saints Day is the Catholic Church Celebration of the Dead. Yes. The Catholic Church Prays to the Dead, Lights Candles to the Dead, in truth Worships Dead “Saints” daily. All Saints’ Day begins the observance of Allhallowtide, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to Remembering the Dead saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful Departed.

As Catholicism moved throughout Europe it melded with the local Pagan Cultures their Occult Satan Worship. Their Satanic Pagan Holidays and Festivals became part of the Catholic Church. This is how the Catholic Church grew so Fast. By including the long established Worship of Ancient Pagan God’s to Catholicism countless Millions were added to the Roman Catholic Church.

The Ancient Satanic Pagan Rituals became a mix of their Gods / Rituals combined with Catholic Symbolism and Worship practices. You can see All of the old Roman God’s in the Catholic Church today.

Pagan Gods And Goddesses That Became Catholic Saints – Coming In The Clouds

Who Is The Roman Catholic Church Really Worshiping? – Roman Catholic Beliefs

All Saints Eve — The Origin of Halloween.

The Celtic people of Europe and Britain were Pagan Druids their major celebrations were marked by the seasons. At the end of the year in northern Europe, they made preparations to ensure winter survival. They harvested the crops and slaughtered animals for food. Life slowed down as winter brought darkness (shortened days and longer nights), fallow ground, and death.

The Druids used the imagery of Death, symbolized by Skeletons, Skulls, and the color Black in their Worship. Catholic Priests and Nuns wear Black Robes, this is because of their Druid Roots.

Today’s Halloween celebration is much like the Druids celebration of the Dead.

The Pagan Samhain festival (pronounced “sow” “en”) celebrated the Final Harvest, Death, and the onset of winter, for three days—October 31 to November 2. The Celts believed the curtain dividing the Living and the Dead lifted during Samhain to allow the Spirits of the Dead to walk among the Living. Ghosts Haunting the earth.

They embraced the season of Haunting by engaging in Occult practices such as Divination the communication with the Dead. They sought “Divine” Spirits (Demons) and the Spirits of their ancestors regarding weather forecasts for the coming year, crop expectations, and even romantic prospects. Bobbing for apples was one practice the pagans used to divine the spiritual world’s “blessings” on a couple’s romance.

The focus on Death, Occultism, Divination, and the belief that Spirits returned from the Dead to Haunt the Living, fueled their Satanism. They believed Spirits were earthbound until they received a proper sendoff with treats: possessions, wealth, food, and drink. Spirits who were not suitably “Treated” would “Trick” those who had neglected them. The Fear of Haunting only multiplied if that Spirit had been offended during its natural lifetime.

Trick-bent Spirits were believed to assume grotesque appearances. Some traditions developed, which believed wearing a costume to look like a Spirit would fool the wandering Spirits. Others believed the Spirits could be warded off by carving a grotesque face into a gourd or root vegetable (the Scottish used turnips) and setting a candle inside it—the jack-o-lantern.

This Dark, Satanic, Superstitious, Pagan Worship and Rituals are very much Alive and Thriving Today. The Behavior, of people today is the exact same, even worse than the Pagans of the ancient times. Modern Worshippers in Catholic, Protestant, Baptist and other Churches Celebrate Halloween. Calling it a Harvest Festival changes Nothing.

Halloween is Clearly Pagan.

If you are a Christian and you call Halloween Christian (Yes countless “Christians” keep telling me the origin of Halloween is Christian. No the origin of Halloween is Pagan, Satanic.) if you say there is No Harm in it you need to read all the following Bible verses:

Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

2nd Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Ephesians 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them. 8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. 13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. 14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. 15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. 18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; 19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; 20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

When you teach your children that Halloween is Not Evil you are Lying to them. You are training them to Celebrate Satanism, to Worship Satan.

Deuteronomy 18:9 When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. 10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, 11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee. 13 Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God. 14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.

Over and Over Again God Tells us Not to Be Like the World. God Warns us Not to Worship Other Gods. He Warns us About Satan.

Ephesians 4:27 Neither give place to the devil.

1^st Corinthians 10:21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.

1^st Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Leviticus 19:31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.

1^st Chronicles 10:13 So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it;

1^st John 5:19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

Leviticus 20:27 A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.

Christians are Supposed to Glorify God in Everything they Do.

1st Corinthians 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

Does Halloween Glorify God? No it Glorifies Satan.

1st Corinthians 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Colossians 3:23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;”

Why do “Christians” so strongly defend the Celebration of Halloween?

There are a lot of reasons. The #1 reason is Money $$$. Yes Churches depend on Church members to give them money.

Churches are so commercial they compromise their Church to appeal to as many people as possible.

Halloween is and has been for decades the most celebrated Holiday on the Earth.

If you call yourself a Bible Believer than you should Do Nothing that does not Glorify God. You should Fight against Evil, Not give into Satan.

Colossians 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.”

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

Celebrating Halloween is not serving Jesus, it is serving Satan.

Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

Do not tell me you are a Christian, a Bible Believer if you are defending the Celebration of Halloween.

If your Church has a Harvest Festival, or any other celebration to give your kids a safe place to celebrate Halloween than you are Celebrating Halloween.

Changing the name of your Halloween celebration is not changing the fact that you are observing and celebrating Halloween.

The things “Christians” say to justify their celebration of Halloween shows they do not care what the Bible says:

“There is nothing wrong with letting kids dress up and get candy in a safe environment at Church, or in a Church supported event.” “It is not right to deprive kids the opportunity to dress up and get candy…”

These so called Bible Believers ignore the Bible.

Christians are not suppose to love the things of this world. To be like the world.

Halloween is not Christian in any way. Halloween celebrates: the Dead, Ghosts, Witches and Witchcraft, Zombies, Evil Spirits…

John 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

John 17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

Jesus tells us not to be part of the World: “Keep them from the Evil.”

“Keep them from the Evil.” The celebration of Halloween is Evil and Jesus wants to keep Christians from Evil.

Ephesians 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

Jesus Saved us out of the World. We are not to continue to live our lives like the world after we are Saved. We are suppose to love the things of God and not the things of this world.

1st John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

There is no defense for Celebrating Halloween, if you are actually a Christian.

The Bible 101. Is The Bible God’s Word? How To Read And Study The Bible.

Why I Believe The Bible is 100% God’s Word

John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

God’s Word is True. Prophecy Proves this. History Proves Bible Prophecy.

When I read the Bible I feel the Holy Spirit of God in my mind talking to me. When I Study God’s Word The Holy Spirit Opens up the Truth of the Bible to Me.

When God Speaks to me he often puts a Scripture in my Mind. I go to that Scripture read it and more and more Scriptures are given to me to read as I read. The Holy Spirit of God explains the Scriptures to me.

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.

John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

The Bible Obviously has One Author the Holy Spirit of God

The Bible has 66 Books. These books fit seamlessly together, referring to each other hundreds of times. In the New Testament Old Testament Prophecies are seen Fulfilled.

The Scriptures were written by 40+ men through the Holy Spirit of God.

“God wrote the Bible.”

If you read the Bible you will see: The Word of God, My Word(s), Thy Word (God’s Word.), etc…, repeated over and over and over again, in the Bible.

Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

1^st Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

Isaiah 40:8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

Isaiah 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Psalms 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. 12 Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy statutes. 13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth. 14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches. 15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways. 16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word. 17 Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word. 18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.

Psalms 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. 106 I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments. 107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O Lord, according unto thy word. 108 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord, and teach me thy judgments. 109 My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law. 110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts. 111 Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart. 112 I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end. 113 I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love. 114 Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word. 115 Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God. 116 Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. 117 Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually. 118 Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood. 119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies. 120 My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments. 121 I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors. 122 Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me. 123 Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness. 124 Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes. 125 I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies. 126 It is time for thee, Lord, to work: for they have made void thy law. 127 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold. 128 Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.

The Holy Spirit Wrote Through Common Men like Gad, Luke and Mark. Through Prophets, Kings, Apostles, etc…

Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: 2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

Revelation 1:1,2 Is a Perfect Example of how God Wrote the Bible. Here John is Given a Special Revelation by Jesus Christ. (Paul was also taught by Jesus Christ After his Resurrection. Paul was Given Special Revelations from Jesus.) Every Word John wrote in the Books of John and Revelation were Given to him by God to Write. This is how every Book of the Bible Was Written.

Revelation 3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write…, 7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write…, 14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write…,

2^nd Timothy 3:15 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. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

2^nd Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

2^nd Peter 1:21 the entire passage

2^nd Peter 1:12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth. 13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; 14 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me. 15 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance. 16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 For he 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. 18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. 19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

God Wrote every Word of the Bible. The Bible is Infallible. It is the Perfect, Inerrant Word of God.

Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. 6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Psalms 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7 Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

Psalms 19:7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. 8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. 9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

2^nd Samuel 22:31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.

Fulfilled Bible Prophecy Proves the Bible is God’s Word.

The Bible Foretells Specific Events in Great Detail. Many years before they happen. Bible Prophets have successfully made Prophecies hundreds of years before they were Fulfilled.

Over 2,500 Prophecies are written in the Bible. Around 2,000 Prophecies have been Fulfilled according to the majority of people who took the time to Study and research this. The Key Finding is the Bible is Error Free. Of the 2,500 Prophecies found in the Bible there is No Errors in Prophecies Foretold. The Bible is Error Free.

Fulfilled Prophecies

Before 500 BC, the Prophet Daniel Prophesied that Israel’s long-awaited King, The Messiah would begin his public ministry 483 years after a Decree to Restore and Rebuild Jerusalem is made.

Daniel 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. 26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

Daniel Prophesied that the Messiah would be “cut off,” Killed. This event would happen before Jerusalem and the Temple would be Destroyed for a 2^nd time. Written History and Archaeology Prove that these Prophecies were Exactly Fulfilled.

The Life, Death by Crucifixion, Burial, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ were well written about Historically, not just written about in the Bible. This is further Proof of the Bible Prophecies. The decree regarding the restoration of Jerusalem was issued by Persia’s King Artaxerxes to the Hebrew priest Ezra in 458 BC, 483.

Over 500 Years later the ministry of Jesus Christ began in Galilee. The Start of Jesus’ Public Ministry was in 26 AD. Jesus’ crucifixion happened in 30 AD. Forty years later, in 70 AD Titus Destroyed Jerusalem and the 2^nd Temple.

How to Study the Bible

To Study the Bible First read it a few times 3 or more times. From the Beginning to the End. Always Pray before you read the Bible and Ask the Holy Spirit to Open your Eyes, your Mind to the Truth of God’s Word. Ask the Holy Spirit to Teach you God’s Word.

After you have read the Bible over a few times. Than you can Study the Bible. When I was only 8 years Old I read the Bible end to end 4 or more times in a year. The Bible is Only 1,200 pages depending on what your text size is. People will read a 1,200 page Novel in just 1 week. I know I have many different times, so it doesn’t take forever to read the entire Bible.

How many times you are able to read the entire Bible in a year is up to you. It is possible to read the Bible end to end 52 or more times in one year.

The reason you need to read the Bible end to end Several times before you Study it is because you have to have a Good, Basic understanding of the whole Bible before you Study it.

Do Not be overwhelmed. At first just read the Bible just like you would any Novel. Do Not worry if you think you do Not understand a lot of it. The Bible in Truth is a History Book. The basic Truths of the Bible are written very plainly and are Not hard to understand. Maybe 10% or more of the Bible is difficult to understand without Studying it. But at the first step you will just be reading the Bible.

When you Read the Bible it is Good to make your own Highlights. The more you read the Bible the more you will understand it.

OK How to Study the Bible

Pick a Subject, let’s Say Salvation. Look what the Bible says about Salvation. Since you have already read the Bible Several times you should immediately know how the Ethiopian Eunuch was Saved.

Acts 8:26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert. 27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, 28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. 29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. 30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? 31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. 32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth: 33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. 34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man? 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. 36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. 39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.

This passage about the Ethiopian Eunuch referred to Isaiah Chapter 53 so you read that entire Chapter. It is about Salvation.

You should know:

Acts 16:27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. 29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, 30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Above are just a few examples of Salvation Bible Scriptures, what a proper Bible Study on Salvation will entail.

Here is a finished example on a Salvation Bible Study. Study it. You will see how I did my Bible Study. Then you will understand the basics of Bible Study:

https://plain-talk-christian-ministries.com/2022/12/14/salvation-how-to-be-saved/

When you want to Study the Bible for yourself use the Bible.

The Bible explains itself.

If you want to understand what a Word used in the Bible means, do Not use a Dictionary, even a Bible Dictionary is often Not Good to use.

Get a Bible Concordance. Look up the Word in a Bible Concordance and see how it is used over and over again in the Bible. Soon the meaning will become clear. This type of learning I was taught in Elementary School.

Always use the Bible to define Words, to Explain itself.

Isaiah 28:10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

A Precept can be a Word. It can be a term like Covenant. So to learn the meaning if you don’t immediately understand the meaning you find this Precept (Word, Term, etc…) throughout the Bible and learn its meaning by seeing what the Bible says about it.

Line upon line means When you want to Understand a Bible Verse you Need to read the Whole Chapter to understand the Context. “Line upon line, line upon line..” This is what it means. Read more than just single verses.

You cannot take one single verse and Teach a Bible Truth with it by itself. That is what False Teachers, Cults do.

The context of Isaiah 28:10

Isaiah 28:9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. 10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: 11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. 12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. 13 But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

Salvation How to Be Saved:

The Gospel = Love. Preach, Teach, The Love Of The Lord Jesus Christ.

The Love of Jesus

John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

This is Love. Jesus’ Love. There is No Greater Love than this.

The Gospel is the Love of Jesus

The Gospel: Jesus Died was Buried, he Rose from the Dead on the 3^rd Day to pay the Penalty for ALL the Sins of the World.

1st Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

Jesus Did Not Just Die for our Sins. He Bore our Sins in his own Body. He bore the Weight of All of our Sins. Rape, Murder, Lying, Stealing, etc…

Think about it. Billions of People All their Sins. Jesus Bore All their Sins in his own Body. This is Mind Boggling.

John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

1^st John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

1^st John 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

1^st Timothy 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

Jesus Became Sin For Us

2^nd Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

1^st Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

Jesus Suffered for our Sins

Jesus Sufferings were Not Only The Physical Punishment he Endured. He Bore Our Sins in HIS BODY. He Bore Our Griefs, Our Sorrows. The Weight of All of this, the Pain it Caused is Beyond Measure.

Jesus Physically Suffered more than anyone in history. Beatings, The Crown of Thorns placed on his head, Carrying his Cross, His Crucifixion being Nailed to the Cross, etc…

If you have a Conscience you will Feel the Weight of All of your Sins.

Starting from when I was a little kid, I felt Guilty, Depressed because of the things I did Wrong, because of my Sins.

If you can walk around and claim: “Oh I have Not Done Anything I feel Guilty About. I would Not Change a thing if I could.” You are the Worst type of person, Full of Pride, a Liar.

Jesus Sacrifice, His Suffering For Our Sins

1^st Peter 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: 22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: 24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

Isaiah 53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. 8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. 9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. 10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. 11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. 12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Isaiah Chapter 53 is the most Powerful Chapter in the Entire Bible.

Isaiah 53 describes Jesus, his Sufferings, his Crucifixion.

A note * Leave any Church that teaches that people in the Old Testament did not know about Jesus Christ. That they were Saved by Works. No one was Saved by Works.

Hebrews 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

Jesus Christ is in the Entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation. The Most Powerful Chapter in the Bible about Jesus is in the Old Testament that should tell you Something.

Isaiah 53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

Jesus Suffered Deeply by taking All of our Griefs, and our Sorrows. Our human minds cannot comprehend the Pain and Suffering Jesus Bore for us…

Beware of False Churches

I am Sick of hearing False Pastors, Preachers Say Things like: “Love, Love, Love, Puke. If you want to hear Love, Love, Love go to another Church. This Church is a Hell Fire and Damnation Preaching Church. We Don’t Sugar Coat the Bible. We Preach Hard Against Sin. We Don’t Believe in the Gospel of Love…”

For 10 years I was in Churches that said this nearly every time I went to them. These Churches, Any Church that says things like this is a False Religion that does Not Understand the Bible, Salvation.

They Openly Mock Jesus and Refuse to Preach the One True Gospel. The Gospel Only for Salvation found in 1st Corinthians 15:1-4 and in many other Verses. The Gospel is Love.

The Gospel is Love

Salvation, the Gospel Begins and Ends with God’s Love

1^st John 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

Romans 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

Ephesians 5:1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

Ephesians 3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

1^st John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. 13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. 15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19 We love him, because he first loved us. 20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

Believe the Gospel Only to be Saved. Please Ask Jesus to Save you.

Fear Is A Weapon. Satan Uses Fear. Governments, Criminals Use Fear. Do Not Fear Man.

Christians Do Not Fear

2^nd Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

1^st Peter 3:14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; 15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

1^st John 4:13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. 15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19 We love him, because he first loved us.

Hebrews 13:6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

Jesus Tells Us Not To Fear

Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Jesus is telling us Not to Fear Man, Satan because the Most they Can Do is Kill us. He gives a Hell Fire Damnation Sermon here. Fear God because Only God has the Power to Send you to Hell. We will All Die. Being Murdered, Killed, to Die is Not the End. So Do Not Fear Physical Death Fear Going to Hell if you are Not Saved.

Matthew 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. 32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

Jesus Continues his Sermon on Fear

God looks after Sparrows, he knows what they are all doing. He knows when each of them dies. So we need to understand that God knows us even Better than he knows Sparrows. We are more valuable than Sparrows. He has numbered all the hairs on our head… Wow!

The Message here is Fear Not if you are Saved. Jesus provides for the Fowls of the air he will also provide for us.

Matthew 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Matthew Chapter 6 is a cross reference for Matthew Chapter 10

In both Jesus is telling us Not to Fear because he will Provide for us. He is also Preaching a Hell Fire Damnation Salvation Sermon.

Matthew 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

Matthew Chapter 10 summed up: You Should Not Fear Man. Man has No Power to Send you to Hell. Fear God because Only God has the Power to Send you to Hell. Do Not Fear living your life. God provides for Sparrows he will Provide for you too.

John Chapter 3 is a Cross Reference for Matthew Chapter 10

Matthew 10:32,33 = John 3:14-18

Christians Evangelize they proclaim, confess Jesus, the Gospel before People. Lost People are Lost because they Deny Jesus before People. They have Rejected Jesus Free Gift of Salvation.

John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

This verse Sums up Salvation and Why People Go to Hell.

Salvation = Believe on Jesus, the Gospel and you are immediately Saved. Hell Fire = Do Nothing at All. The Lost are already on their Way to Hell Fire. Because they have Not Believed on Jesus. They have Rejected Jesus Free Gift of Salvation up to this point. They can Be Saved by Believing on Jesus.

Fear Not

Isaiah 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. 11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. 12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. 13 For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. 14 Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the Lord, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

Psalms 56:1 Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me. 2 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High. 3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. 4 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. 5 Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil. 6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul. 7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God. 8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? 9 When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me. 10 In God will I praise his word: in the Lord will I praise his word. 11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.

Joshua 1:9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Psalms 118:4 Let them now that fear the Lord say, that his mercy endureth for ever. 5 I called upon the Lord in distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place. 6 The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? 7 The Lord taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.

Jesus, God the Father is the Hardest Hell Fire and Damnation Preacher there is. Why? Because he Loves us. He Doesn’t want anyone to Go to Hell.

Isaiah 45:22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.

Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

God Does Not Want Anyone to Go To Hell so He Preaches Hard on Hell Fire and Damnation.

Immediate Help: In July 2022, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline changed its name to 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline and introduced a 3-digit number designed to be as easy to remember as 911. Instead of dialing the old 10-digit number, callers who are suicidal or experiencing other mental health crises can now dial 988 to connect with trained counselors at crisis centers nationwide. In the first week after the new number’s launch in July, the lifeline saw a 66% increase in volume compared to calls to the old number in the same week in 2021, according to the lifeline’s administrators.

The Truth About 22 Veteran Suicides A Day – Task & Purpose (taskandpurpose.com)

Suicide Is Not The Solution. Please Seek Help If You are Suicidal.

Myths About Suicides:

Holiday’s cause Suicides:

This is something always talked about around the Major Holidays, Christmas, Easter, New Year’s Eve. But statistics do not show that this is True. On a Normal (Non 1929 type of year.) yearly calendar suicide rates are rather steady Month to Month.

Myth That Suicides Peak During the Holidays Could Cause Harm (usnews.com)

Suicide Awareness needs to be a 24/7 365 days a year Awareness.

Suicide Notes are always written:

This is a Myth which is very popular on TV and in Movies. Most Suicides in Fact don’t have a Suicide Note. So, No Suicide Note doesn’t mean the death was Not a Suicide. Yes, TV and Movies Love to say No Suicide Note means it was possibly a Murder. Sometimes a Murderer forces a person to Write a Suicide Note before they are Murdered. Or they will type a Suicide Note. So a Suicide Note doesn’t prove or disprove Suicide. Neither does No Suicide Note.

Think about it, a Person who Commits Suicide is Not Mentally All there. They have Nothing Left to Say, in Most Cases. The Suicide itself is a Message to many people. No Other Words were Needed.

A Person Talking about Committing Suicide is Not Seriously Thinking about Committing Suicide:

This talk of a False Cry for Help: Suicidal talk is just a person seeking attention is Wrong. Most, not All Suicidal people seek help before they Kill themselves. Nobody really wants to Commit Suicide. Suicide is the Last Solution for them.

Always Take A Person Talking About Suicide Seriously.

Talk to them, try to find out why they are Suicidal. Often this can Help them and Stop them from Committing Suicide.

People who Commit Suicide are All Cowards:

“Suicide Is The Coward’s Way Out.”

This Lie about Suicide makes me Very Angry. During my 20+ year Military Career I have heard this Repeatedly. Saying this pushes Suicidal people over the edge. After a Mandatory Suicide Prevention Lecture (The Command Master Chief said: “Murder Yourselves. Good Riddance to You. I don’t Want Coward’s Working for me!!!) within hours we had a Suicide.

Suicide is the Coward’s Way Out is a Slogan. It is a Lie. It is Said By Hateful Ignorant People. To load a Gun and pull the Trigger with it pointed at You is Not Being a Coward. Taking a razor blade and slitting your Wrists is Not Being a Coward. Neither is hanging yourself, drowning, jumping off a building.

It takes a Lot to successfully Murder Yourself. A Coward wouldn’t have the Stones, the Stomach to do it normally. Do you think it is EASY to pull the Trigger?

MURDER SUICIDE IS THE COWARDS WAY OUT.

To do the Crime but Refuse to Face the Fallout. Being Caught For Heinous Crimes, like Pedophilia, Yes that is a Coward.

Typical Suicides are Not Criminals Seeking a Way Out.

People who Commit Suicide are in Unbearable Pain.

The Top reasons for Suicide other than being a Criminal are:

A Dear John Letter:

Is Possibly the #1 reason for Active Duty Military Suicides. Men and Some Women feel that they cannot Live without “The Love of their Life.” For one of the Best illustrations of this Watch the Richard Gere, Debra Winger Movie, An Officer and a Gentlemen. This is True to Life. An Extremely Realistic portrayal. The movie shows a very Typical cause for Military Suicides. This reason for Suicide, Losing the Love of your Life, is Not Only a Military reason for Suicide.

Body Dysphoria and Homosexuality are the cause of countless Suicides:

There is a reason Both Conditions recently used to be Treated by Mental Health Care Professionals. Everyone has their own position on Homosexuality. Getting beyond that. I think the huge number of Homosexuals committing Suicide is proof it is a Mental Health issue.

PTSD Non Military causes and Military causes:

People get PTSD from Traumatic Events in their Life. Like: A Car accident. Physical, Mental, Sexual Abuse. Being in War. Things that have happened to them or something they have Witnessed cause PTSD.

Depression:

Depression is a real Medical issue. I get Sick of hearing people, Christians in Particular, say that Depression is Not a Medical issue. Many Christians will say that the Only reason for Depression is a Lack of Faith in God. That is One Cause, but it is far from the Only cause. Their are numerous Medical Causes for Depression. Diet can cause Depression. A physical condition can cause Depression. Lack of Sleep can cause Depression.

Mental Health issues:

Christian Churches Are A Source of Help. Jesus Is Always Ready to Help:

Satan has Already Been Defeated. Satan Has to Ask God’s Permission to Touch A Christian:

Satan is Defeated, he knows he Only has a Short time Left.

Jesus Love!!! Jesus Prayed for Peter.

Free Will:

Salvation is A Free Gift.

Salvation is Simply Believing On Jesus. Salvation is Everlasting, it Never Ends.

There Is No Ladder, Staircase, Steps to Salvation:

A Typical False illustration will have a Staircase with labeled Steps.

Willful Sin Is A False Teaching.

These Liars are Fruit Inspectors.

Baptism Is Not Required to Be Saved.

Salvation in the Bible:

Notice the Question: “What Must I Do To Be Saved?”

Salvation = BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

Believed What?

The Gospel:

Paul was in and out of Jail for Preaching the Gospel.

Peter’s Gospel Message:

Paul’s Gospel Ministry:

Paul Preached The Gospel Only for Salvation. He Fought To Defend The Gospel Only For Salvation.

It is Very Difficult to Find the Gospel Only Preached in Churches. 99% of All Churches Teach Works as Part of Salvation. Jesus Warned us About this:

Satan is the god of the Earth:

Satan is Fighting against The Gospel Being Heard and Believed By the Lost. The Bible is Clear about this.

Blinded Minds…

It is a WASTE OF TIME trying to talk to anyone that Refuses to Listen to the Gospel.

Counterfeit Christians Get Very Nasty:

They are Satanic.

Please Do Not Let “Christians” Shut you up.

Never Shut Up when People are Hearing you Share The Gospel.

Satan Controls the Airwaves, the Internet:

It is a Spiritual Battle.

How To Understand Your Life At Any Age. Nostalgia Looking Back Fondly At Your Youth…

Living to be Very Old:

Nostalgia

God Says Not to Live in the Past

The Point being made is: For a Christian Life Begins When we are Saved.

Do Not Fear Old Age. God Will Help us through it. It is a Privilege to be Allowed to Grow Old.

The Message is If You Live your Life Serving Jesus God will Stand with You.

A Tough part about Living, about Life is our Hearts and our Minds.

How To Have Perfect Peace And Joy During Your Entire Life:

Are you Nostalgic? Nostalgia:

Life can get REAL. Quick.

I know People who are Obsessed with the Past.

Popular Music Has Numerous Nostalgia Suicide Songs About The Best Of Your Life Is Over So Now There Is Nothing More To Live For.

Don’t Let the Memories of the Past of Now Dead Friends and Family Rule you.

When a person is Young Aging is Not something they think about.

Sadly Depression In Children is at Epidemic Levels. Child Suicide is Incredibly High.

Explaining Ecclesiastes Chapter 12:

Growing old is further compared to the decline of a House.

Ecclesiastes 6 and 7, are speaking of Death.

This Depressing, Dark, Gloomy picture of Old Age Does Not change the Truth that Old Age can be Blessed by God for the godly.

The Message to the Young is:

The Frailty of Mortal things:

Finally, the Controlling Factor of all of Life should be the Fear of God.

Please, if you have not already Asked Jesus to Save you. Please Ask Him Right Now.

The Mystery of King David

It Is Impossible for Mankind to Understand God:

God Knows what is in Everyone’s Heart

King David was a man after God’s Own Heart

King David is Proof God Can Use Very Flawed People

Despite of All of David’s Many Flaws He was Still God’s Chosen King, A Man After His Own Heart.

David wrote most of the Psalms in the Bible.

David’s Grief Over His Sins:

King David he was a Powerful, Remarkable Confusing person.

Only after David’s Sin was exposed by Nathan the Prophet did he feel anything Wrong about what he had done.

Lessons you can Learn From King David:

If you have Wronged someone. The best thing to do is to Stop your behavior.

Apologize without any expectations.

Saying I am Sorry…

Sometimes all you can do is to Go Away and Never talk to, Never see that person Ever Again. This includes your Family.

So, Don’t be that type of Person.

You can Rebuild your Life with God’s Help…
