The Danger Of False Prophets

The most dangerous type of false prophet is one who truly believes what he, or she, tries to teach. They try to force their opinions on you rather than encouraging you to open a Bible and learn the truth for yourself. They remind me of the catholic church in the days before the printing press, when they would not allow anyone to own a Bible because if people owned Bibles they would see that catholicism fits EVERY description of the antichrist. 
(See http://bloggingforthelord.blogspot.com/2011/09/catholicism-has-already-fulfilled-1260.html)
Satan is a Bible scholar. He knows it word for word, inside and out, backwards and forwards, and he knows how to twist scripture around to mislead even those who truly love the Lord into trying to teach and preach false prophesies. 
These false prophets who teach about a "secret rapture" and that life will go on after Jesus returns are misleading millions! They need to read the Bible. They need to read Matthew 24, 1 Corinthians 15, 2 Peter 3, 1 Thessalonians 5, Revelation 1, Revelation 6....
They need to be teaching that EVERY knee will bow because EVERYONE will see Jesus and know the rapture has taken place, and yes, there will be people left behind, nonbelievers and lovers of God who did not follow His will. But they will be left behind on a desolate earth with no power, no tv, no cellphones.... The works of the earth will be burned up. 2 Peter 3:10 
They need to be teaching that we are told, more than once, in Revelation that NO MAN will repent after Jesus returns. That in itself pretty much blows the whole "Left Behind" theory right out of the water.
Its IN THE BIBLE for EVERYONE to see. We are not living in the dark ages anymore, people can own a Bible and read the truth for themselves. No religious/political party like catholics can stop anyone, in a free country, from owning a Bible. But the sad thing is, rather than open one and read it, people are lazy or say they do not understand it and depend on other people's opinions. THAT is dangerous, and satan loves it! There is a reason why the Bible tells us that more people will go to hell than Heaven (Matthew 7). Because you CAN go to hell believing in and loving Jesus. There WILL be people who will be denied entrance into Heaven, begging God to let them in, trying to tell Him all they've done in His name:
Matthew 7:21-23 
21 Not everyone that saith to me, Lord, Lord will enter into the kingdom of Heaven, but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in Heaven. 
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord have we not prophesied in thy name, and in Thy name have cast out devils? And in Thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And I will profess unto them, I never knew you, depart from me ye that work iniquity.
PLEASE open a Bible and read it. If you do not understand it pray and ask God to help you. He WILL help you understand it, if you truly want to. 
James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not and it shall be given him.
Your salvation, where you spend eternity, is up to YOU, not a man or woman on tv, Facebook, Twitter, at church, a neighbor, a friend.... It is your responsibility to read the Bible, learn the truth, and live for the Lord and do His will.


If reading this has made you angry, is it because you are one of the false prophets who teaches against what the Bible says?
Or is it because you are catholic and have not read the Bible to know the truth?
Or, could it be that God is convicting your heart to get to know Him and live for Him rather than living for yourself?
God created you and you are to live for Him, not the works of the earth that man developed to take your attention away from God.


Like I always say, do your own homework, research & learn the truth for yourself. If you find anything different than what my Bible says, please come back with legitimate scripture and tell me I'm wrong because I do NOT want to get God's word wrong and mislead anyone.
I love YOU, yes YOU, and pray that, love me or hate me, you will learn something from this and never forget it. :) :)
May God Bless You

Does God Hear Your Prayers?

Does it matter how you start a prayer? A short simple answer would be "yes", but I cannot just say that without an explanation. If you have been here before you know that I always tell you to do your own homework, research for yourself and do not take my word for anything. Not my word, or anyone else's. I am NOT trying to tell you how to pray. That is something personal between you and God. Like I always say, my blogs are just my opinions. And if just one blog can help just one person I would be so thankful! And if you are familiar with me you know I try to keep things short and to the point, which I will attempt to do this time.

How you pray DOES matter. Have you been praying to Jesus all your life? Or do you do as Jesus said to do and pray to the Father? Jesus said in Matthew 6 and Luke 11 that we are to begin our prayers with "Our Father which art in Heaven". And He tells us in John 14:6 that nobody can come to the Father but by Him. And He tells us in John 14:14 if we ask anything in His name He will do it. 

Therefore the only conclusion that I can come to is, pray to the Father and ask for it in Jesus' name.

Do you ask forgiveness for your sins before you ask God for things? God will not hear your prayer if you have sin in your life so it is best to start every prayer by asking forgiveness for your sins. You should ask forgiveness for all thoughts, actions, things you did not do that you should have done. And if you are having an issue with anyone, if you are mad at someone God will not hear you until that situation is resolved. It is in the "Lord's Prayer" to forgive people of their trespasses against us and God will forgive our trespasses against Him. We are also told in  Mark 11:25 that we must forgive others so God will forgive us. Continuous willful sin (living with a boyfriend or girlfriend, your choice of music, your lifestyle....) is a different story entirely. I cannot say that being a willful sinner that your prayers are heard. There is no evidence that says your prayers will be heard, but a lot of evidence that your prayers will not be heard. But, that is another blog....

And please thank our Father for everything He has done for you. I could never ask Him for anything without first thanking Him for everything that I have. I spend so much time thanking Him for everything that I have and that He has done for me my food gets cold while I'm saying the blessing. I cannot live in a country where I am free to worship Him knowing people are tortured and killed everyday in other countries for refusing to deny Him without thanking Him every time I pray for my Bible and my freedom to read it and worship Him. I cannot ask Him for anything without first thanking Him for my family, my home, the fact that I have food to eat, a bed to sleep in... Yes, I thank Him for everything because if it were not for Him I would have nothing! 

If you have not been starting your prayers with "Dear Father", "Dear God", or "Dear Lord", please start today and see what a change it makes! :)

And please tell Him you love Him. You tell your mom, dad, son, daughter... that you love them. This is your Father, your Heavenly Father, please tell Him you love Him. I know you know that He knows that you do, but He would really appreciate it if you tell Him.

Thanks for reading. Please come back soon. God Bless You :)

Are Paradise And Hell Holding Places?

First let's look at Paradise. We all know that Jesus told the thief on the cross that, today he would be with Him in Paradise. In Second Corinthians 12 we are told about a man who is "caught up into Paradise". Revelation chapter 2 says that he that he who overcomes will eat of the Tree of Life which is in the midst of Paradise.
Revelation gives great detail about what Heaven will look like. All the way down to the size of it! We know Heaven will come down from the sky and be placed where Jerusalem is now. Therefore, the eternal Heaven that we are all anxious to see does not exist yet. So, I believe that the saved who have died are in Paradise, a place where they are reserved waiting for Judgement Day. What other explanation could there be? (I'm seriously asking.)


We all see Hell as a place filled with fire. A never ending burning raging fire. But as of right now, the "Lake of Fire" has not been cast into Hell yet. They are two different things.
Revelation chapter 20 tells us that the Lake of Fire will be cast into hell.
In Second Peter chapter 2 verse 4 we are told that the angels who sinned were cast down to hell and are bound in chains of darkness, reserved until judgement.


So if the Bible speaks of both Paradise and Hell being places of reserve (Reserved: Kept or set apart for a particular use or purpose.) would that not indicate that that is where our friends & loved ones are who have passed on? Either in Hell awaiting the Lake of Fire. Or, hopefully, in Paradise awaiting the Heaven that God promised us?

Christians Get Frustrated Too. Because We Love You.

I am so disheartened at the moment. I do not know if I'm just writing to get out my frustrations, or if I will actually post this blog. If I do post it and you read it, thank you for listening to me ramble on.
I have so many "friends" on Twitter & Facebook that I see CLEARLY are not going to Heaven and it breaks my heart! So many people do not study God's word. The Bible is not a storybook, its a handbook for life. It was not written by one author. Its a collection of writings by men who TRULY loved God. Its not published in perfect order, very good order, but not exact. The book of Revelation is obviously out of chronological order and that is why it is so hard for some people to understand. When you are reading the Bible you have to go back and forth from one book to another, reading verses, making comparisons. That is why God gave us Dr. Scofield, to help us with Bible study. (The REAL Dr. Scofield, not the evil one who re-wrote the real Bible) 
And, there are the people who are only trying to get "Twitter Famous" or "Facebook Famous" by throwing out tons of posts voicing their opinions telling you what to do and what not to do rather than telling you to look it up in the Bible and learn the truth. YES, my blogs are my opinions, but I always say do not take my word for it. I am not trying to tell anybody how to live, or change anybody's mind about their religion. It is my goal to get people to read the Bible for themselves, not tell them how to live. If you do not believe the way I do, if you see things differently, that is fine. We are of the same faith, FAITH in Jesus Christ our Lord. Just because we disagree does not mean we cannot be cordial to each other. But, like I said, when I write a blog its my opinion. That is what blogging is all about :)
The Bible says that we must believe in Jesus to be saved. YES, that is true. But there is so much more to it than that. You cannot just believe and continue to live a life of sin. You cannot just believe and never have a relationship with Him, and just because you go to church once a week does not mean you have a relationship with Him. You need to immerse yourself in His Word. You need to know His word like you know the nursery rhymes you learned as a child. Yes, it is a big book and a lot to learn. But it is so very important that you know right from wrong and do not take ANYBODY'S word for anything about the Bible, including mine. Study it, learn for yourself. 
NOWHERE in the Bible does it say there will be a 7 year Tribulation period. That is a man-made theory that has snowballed over centuries! And NOWHERE in the Bible does it say that there will be a chance for people who are left behind to be saved. YES, people will be left behind just like the Bible says, 2 people grinding at the mill, 1 goes the other stays, 2 people in bed, 1 goes the other stays. But it does not say they are going to go running to the TV to watch all the chaos going on in the world. As a matter of fact, the Bible plainly says when Jesus returns the WORKS of the earth will burn up, be destroyed. That means no cars, no tv, no electricity, that cellphone you are so attached to will not work to call your family and friends and see if they were taken up with the saved. No tower, no signal. And no matter what anyone says, the Left Behind book series came from Satan. It misleads people into believing they do not have to be saved now, that if they are left behind they can just endure some hard tribulation and their reward will be eternity in Heaven. What makes them think they're so special just because they were alive when Jesus returned? What about the people who have been dead for 1000s of years? Should they not get a second chance also? There are no second chances! People need to read the Bible, the whole Bible, not just Revelation. With pen and paper nearby to make notes, to learn. It is said in Revelation MORE than once than NO man will repent after Jesus returns. That man will only curse God for the torture that will be endured. So to say people have a second chance after Jesus returns and mountains fall and the islands break apart and the elements and works of the earth burn up... is against what the Bible teaches. There will be people left behind, on a desolate earth without the comforts of home.
The Bible says in so many verses that if you do not live for the Lord you will not go to Heaven.
Hebrews 6:4-6, Hebrews 10:26-29, Hebrews 10:38-39, 2 Peter 2:20-21 are just a few examples that you can look at to see that you must live for the Lord to enter Heaven, or when that day comes God will say He never knew you. Matthew 7:23 > If you do not want to reach for a Bible you can go to www.BibleGateWay.com and look up scriptures.
I'm not very good at analogies and I do not like to speak about specific religions, but since the whole world knows the history of the catholic church (facts are facts and they are well documented), how they are the ones who changed the Sabbath to Sunday, NOT GOD (No, I'm not a Seventh Day Adventist, I am a true Bible believer & choose to follow God's rules & not the catholic church's), how they tortured and killed millions for not following their laws... I feel safe in using the pope as an example. I believe the pope is the pope. I know he is the pope. But I do not follow the catholic laws/religion. Now, if it were up to me believing in the pope to enter a wonderful special place, could I get in just by believing he is the pope, or would I have to follow his laws? You are probably saying, "if you have to believe in the pope to go to a special place then you should obey him". The same goes for the Lord! If you believe in Him you must obey Him.
Believing in Jesus IS the way to be saved. That is only the beginning. Whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life, if they live for Him. You cannot go by that 1 verse. There are 1000s of verses in the Bible. Do not use just 1 of 1000s to determine your salvation. Read, study, learn! PLEASE!! I care about your soul. I care about what happens to you in your day to day life. I care whether or not you have God in your life, because if you do not, if you are only a "Sunday Christian" you will not see the kingdom of Heaven.
You may ask, why God allows people to believe in it if there is no 7 year tribulation, and why do millions believe there is a second chance after Jesus returns...? That would be because there are false teachers that Jesus told us would be on earth to mislead people.  They come from satan. Which is why Jesus told us that a whole lot more people will go to hell rather than Heaven, which is very sad. I want you to be one who goes to Heaven! Matthew 7:13-14
God bless you if you made this far, lol. Thanks for reading, please come back soon. :)

You Know You Are A Christian When

Foul language makes you cringe.


Your Bible is your most prized possession and no other Bible will do, you have to read yours, and you would seriously die before you would give it up. No matter how old and "raggedy" it may be.


Seeing people dress to look good for others rather than be pleasing to the Lord is upsetting to you because you know they are blind to His word.


Despite what they think, you really do love homosexuals and pray for their eyes to be open to the true word of God. Not the misconstrued versions they have written themselves.


You know God's word without having to look it up in the Bible every time you want to talk about something it says. (Nobody can remember EVERYTHING, but you know what I mean)


You wake up singing songs of praise to the Lord every morning.


You cannot lie. You just cannot do it because you know its wrong according to God.


When you see a celebrity on tv or hear one on the radio promoting lust & fornication to kids it breaks your heart.


You love having Christian friends come over just to sit and talk about God.


You can not go a day without reading your Bible, no matter how busy or sick you are.


You are truly saddened when members of your family will not talk about God because you know they are not saved.


You do not understand atheism, especially considering Bible prophecies written 1,000s of years ago are coming true.

Are You SURE You Are Going To Heaven

Lets look at what you must do to go to Heaven.

Believe in Jesus

Call upon the name of Jesus

Ask Jesus to come into your heart, your life

Follow His word, His teachings, His commandments

Sounds simple enough, doesnt it? We are saved by Grace thru Faith. We're saved by faith because even tho we cant see Jesus, we believe that He exists. That He is there. That His word is true.

We call upon the name of the Lord, we ask Jesus to come into our hearts, our lives and save us. But, that is not all, you have to obey His word. Just believing is not enough. That would be like, going to a job interview for a great job. Your dream job that will make your life everything you want it to be. After the interviewer tells you that you are hired you go home and call all your family and friends and tell them about the wonderful job you got. But you never show up for work. You had a great interview, got the job, but never went back there. Then come payday you show up to get your paycheck. The boss is going to look at you like you are crazy, he is going to tell you that he has no idea who you are, that you never worked for him. The same goes for God. There are so many people who believe in God, believe Jesus is the Son Of God, but never go back to them after repenting of their sins. They repent, ask Jesus into their hearts, then continue living the same life of sin.

The Bible tells us in Matthew 7:22-25

 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works?

 ²³ And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

 ²⁴ Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

 ²⁵ And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

James 2:10

For whosoever shall keep the WHOLE LAW, and yet offend in ONE POINT, he is GUILTY OF ALL.

I actually know a few people who believe just because the Ten Commandments are in the Old Testament that they are no longer in effect. When I ask these people, What about what Jesus said in Matthew 5, pointing out that Jesus did not take away the Ten Commandments but He elaborated on them, expanded them, I never get an answer. Jesus even said that He did not come to change the law. Honestly, if someone believes they no longer have to abide by the Ten Commandments that God gave to Moses in Exodus, then would you not think that what Jesus said in Matthew would be enough for them? People are not reading their Bibles. They are going by what they were taught when they were younger rather than getting to know the word of God for themselves. They are either too lazy to read the Bible. Complain that it just dont make sense to them. Or they simply dont want to know the truth because then they might have to give up the way they are living their life and they do not want to give up lust, fornication, gay friends, and any and all things that promote these and other sins. Whatever their reason is for not wanting to read the Bible and learn what they are to do and what they are not to do, they are the very "Christians" the Bible tells us will not be in Heaven.

Matthew 7:13-15

 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.

It is VERY heart breaking to me to know that I have friends and family who truly believe they are going to Heaven. But if they would only read the Bible, seriously praying for wisdom and knowledge as they read, it would all become so clear to them. I read the Bible (off and on) for over 30 years before I learned to pray, before I open my Bible, that the Lord please give me wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Once I started doing that, things that I had read many times over the years became so much clearer to me. If you read the Bible with blinders on, not sincerely desiring to become more knowledgeable, if you read it with skepticism because you do not want it to actually say what you know it is going to say, then you most likely will not understand it when you read it.

I urge you to PLEASE get your heart right with God. Please talk to Jesus, ask Him to lead, guide and direct you along the path that is right for you. Read the Bible with sincerity and you will find yourself not wanting to put it down. You will find that you just can not get enough of its teachings.

Has Catholicism Already Fulfilled The 1260 Years

This is not going to be very in depth because, like I've said, I like to keep things short and simple. Tho it will have to be longer than I would like because there is so much to be said. But, anything you read here that you have questions about please do your own research, I beg you to look things up about what I say here and find out the facts are true.

Before I begin writing this I must say that I am not in any way trying to offend anyone. I'm most definitely a Bible believer and we should not try to bring anyone to wrath: 2 Peter 2:14-16

14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strrive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.

15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

Lets look at what we know about the Antichrist:


Before I begin I would like to say, think about this as you read this, the antichrist will have no interest in women.
Daniel 11:37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.

A- Has a mark which will cause a person to be cast into the lake of fire if they receive it. 

Revelation 14:9-l0

9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

B- Has a man at the head of it with the number 666. 

Revelation 13:18

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

C- Is a world power that is wondered at. 

Revelation 13:3-4

3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

D- Received its seat and authority from Rome. And, Is both a political and religious power, which is worshiped.

Revelation 13:4

4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

E- Rules the world for 1260 years (533A.D. - 1793 A.D.) 

F- Has a leader who claims to be God on the earth and to be able to forgive sins which is blasphemy. 

Revelation 13:1

And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

G- Changed God's law. 

Daniel 7:25

25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

H- Made war with the saints. 

Revelation 13:7

7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

I- Has an image made to it. 

Revelation 13:14

14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

J- Received a deadly wound which later heals. 

Revelation 13:3

3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

EVERYTHING I am telling you can be researched and to be found true. Unless you are on a Catholic website. Of course they are going to deny it. Either because they are deeply brainwashed, or because they do not want to admit the shame of being mislead with lies & deceit. I am simply stating historical facts that can be researched and found by anyone who wants to know the truth. I am only writing this because I do care that so many people do not know the truth and are being led to hell by Satan with a false "Christian" religion. What better way to get millions, or even billions, of people to go to hell than with a false Christian religion that claims Jesus is the Son of God, but has hidden deceit within it?

We're told in Matthew chapter 7 that a lot more people will be going to hell than Heaven and I do not want you to be one of them!

The ceremonial hat the Pope wears has the words Vicarius Filii De, which translated means: Vicarius- Substituting for, Filli- Son, De- God. So we already know the Pope believes he is substituting for Jesus on earth. If you use Roman Numerals to add up the letters of Vicarius Filii De, they equal 666.

The Roman Catholic church was both a religious and political institution from the years 533-1793. If you do the math that is 1260 years, or 42 and a half months, the time the Bible says the Antichrist will rule.

During this time they changed the Sabbath to Sunday to worship the sun god Helios. God, Jesus, nor any disciple changed the REAL Sabbath, the Catholic church did! And they tortured and killed between 50-100 MILLION people who refused to worship on Sunday because they did not want to go against the TRUE Sabbath.

The Catholic church has their own set of Ten Commandment. They removed the Second Commandment, about making graven images, and split the Tenth Commandment into two to make a full Ten Commandments. And any Christian knows that Revelation says not to add to or take away from the word of God.

And no matter how many times a Catholic tells you they do not worship Mary, St. Peter, or anyone other than our Lord, it can be proven that they do. 

After the 1260 year reign of the Popes, Napoleon sent his general to arrest the reigning pope at that time. This was Pope Pius VI. And therefore a "deadly wound" came upon the Catholic church.

The deadly wound healed and the world marveled when Rome gave the Catholic church 108 acres of land which they used to build the Vatican. Vatican is translated "Divine Serpent". Hmm, not something you would expect to be on a "holy" place.   

Speaking of a "holy" place. Catholics actually believe the Pope, priests, bishops are all without sin & can actually forgive sins. The Pope supposedly can heal. Then why is he not spending all of his time healing the sick? If I had the power to heal I could not sit by and let people suffer, could you?

The time the Catholic church was in power is sometimes referred to as the Dark Ages, and nobody was allowed to own a Bible during those years! That was because they did not want people to know the truth. When the printing press came along around 1440 and Bibles became easier to obtain in the 1500's and people started finding out the truth they turned against the Catholic church.

A Sin Is A Sin

A Sin Is A Sin

How can a telling lie be just as bad as committing murder? The answer is simple. God said do not do it, and He meant do not do it. A sin is a sin. God Himself wrote the Ten Commandments, in stone. Exodus 31:18 "And He gave unto Moses, when He had made an end to communicating with him upon Mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God."
God did not just say the sins listed in the Ten Commandments are wrong, He wrote them in stone!
You may be thinking that lying can not possibly be as bad as murder. Or that lustful daydreaming is not as bad as actually committing fornication. 
James 2 verse 10 says, "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all." Notice how it says "all"? Sins are committed by actions, speaking, and thinking. Are you careful what you do, what you say, what you think?
Lets look at two things. First, we are a soft generation. By that I mean that murder to us is horrific. Nobody wants to see anybody get killed. But a few thousand years ago watching someone be crucified, or burned alive, or stoned to death was a spectator event, done in public. And, not only watched by men, but women & children were there also.
And can you imagine slicing a lambs throat? Or any other animal? Before Jesus died on the cross for our sins people had to sacrifice animals, to shed blood, to have their sins forgiven. We can not fathom that idea today. Thankfully, God sent His Son Jesus, the Lamb, to die for our sins and all we have to do is ask for forgiveness and if we are true Christians who follow God's word, He hears our prayers and forgives us.
And second, thinking about committing fornication is just as bad as doing it because Jesus said so. He did not change the Ten Commandments, but he elaborated on them in Matthew chapter 5. Examples are verses 27 and 28 "Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." That is not hard to understand. 
Please read your Bible. Do not go by what I or anyone else says. Learn the truth in your own way, how you perceive it. But I guarantee you that you will see it the way I do because it is plain & clearly written. 
Once again, thank you for visiting and please come back soon. :)

Definitions Of A Few Sins

Jesus gives us a list of sins in Galations chapter 5, and other places in the Bible. But do you know what they all mean? Lasciviousness, Variance, Emulations, Uncleanness, Revellings, and Concupiscence are just a few. And then there's Circumcised and Uncircumcised. Yes, that is something a baby boy has done, but did you know that to be "Circumcised" means to be "In the Spirit" and therefore being "Uncircumcised" would mean to "Not be in the Spirit". 
But let us look at words like  Concupiscence. It took me 2 days to learn how to pronounce that, and my southern accent still shines thu, lol. That big word means Lust.
And Lasciviousness also means Lust.
Variance means basically to flip-flop back & forth walking with the Lord following His word, and not staying in word. Not being stable minded about your relationship with the Lord.
Uncleanness does not mean that your house is dirty. It means to be Morally Impure.
Emulations is having a desire to be like someone else rather than your own self. You are who God made you, you are not to try to be like someone else.
Revellings A good way to describe this would be enjoying something, like a hobby, or tv, so much that it takes up so much of your time that you do not make time for God.
 There ya go. Short & to the point. I hope I've helped you in some way. 
Have a great day & come back soon! :)

Do NOT Fall For The LEFT BEHIND Books!

I know a lot of people enjoy the Left Behind series. I'm guessing because they give them hope that they can go to Heaven no matter how they live their lives, sin as much as they want to, and just endure a little tribulation and get to spend eternity in Heaven. But those books are not Scriptural. They were intended for the men who wrote them to make millions, which they did. And now they have a kids series of Left Behind books telling children its ok not to be saved, they can be saved after the rapture, or second coming, or whatever you call it when Jesus returns. I have recently learned not everyone calls it the "Rapture" and may not know what I'm talking about. And they are also from Satan. He very much enjoys having millions of people believe they do not have to be saved, that they still have a chance after Jesus returns. But, after Jesus returns it will be too late. Yes, you will be left behind, but with no chance of spending eternity in Heaven.
There is so much proof in the Bible, the book God Himself gave us, to dispute this left behind theory. But people do not want to hear the truth. They want to go on living their lives as they please.
Like I've said before, I'm no Bible scholar, but it does not take years of college to understand God's word.           1 Thessalonians 4:16, For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Saying that unbelievers will get a second chance after the rapture is like saying the people who have died over history, SEVERAL years, will get a second chance & the Bible plainly tells us where the unbelievers who have died are. The "dead in Christ shall rise". Not, ok, all the dead people who died nonbelievers come out of the grave and see who wants go thru tribulation to go to Heaven.
Luke chapter 16 tells us where the unsaved who die are. Verse 23 says, And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
(Hell and the lake of fire are 2 different things. I need to write a Blog on that!)
And in Luke chapter 17 Jesus told His disciples what will happen to the ones left behind. Verse 23 tells us,
 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And He said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

The Hebrew meaning of Eagle is "to tear with the beak". You can look that up if you want to do your own homework :) 

1 Thessalonians chapter 5 tells us in verse 3,

 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 
Revelation chapter 16 verse 21 tells us,
And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
YES, there will be people left behind. But that is all, just people. The earth as we know it right now will no longer exist. 
So many people believe that life will go on after the Rapture. But they need to read the Bible carefully. The earth will be destroyed. The elements will melt away, things made by man, "the earth and the works which are in it" will be burned. The seas will boil from the heat. Mountains will fall. Stones weighing 85-90 pounds will rain from Heaven. The ground will split apart. There will be no sun, no moon, complete darkness. And I am guessing with a stone-storm there will not be any power. People will not be watching everything unfold on CNN or Fox News. NOWHERE in the Bible will you find ANYTHING about a 7 year Tribulation Period! Please look that up for yourself, do not take my word for it. We, as Christians, endure tribulation just because we're Christians. And if you're not enduring some kind of tribulation, you aint doing something right! And, Revelation plainly says that no man will repent after the Rapture. Revelation 9:20, 21 and 16:9,11
Update: More scripture references to study if you'd like.
Isaiah 64:1-2
1 Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,
2 As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!
2 Peter 3:10 (actually, 3:7-17)
But the day of the Lord shall come as a thief, in which the heavens shall pass away with great violence, and the elements shall be melted with heat, and the earth and the works which are in it, shall be burnt up. 
I know I say short and to the point. Sorry this one is so long. Hope to see you back here soon.God Bless :)

They Hated Him First

John 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
Right now at this moment I'm being attacked on Twitter by a nonbeliever. He just came out of nowhere asking me why, if God is so caring, He doesnt bless everybody. And why did God make Hindus, Muslims & Atheists. And there are thousands of gods that people worship....
What this kid does not understand is that Jesus warned us a very long time ago that there would be people like him. People who hate us for our beliefs. People who try to bring us to wrath. It actually makes me smile when Atheists or Muslims come at me about God because it shows that I show myself as a Christian, that I must be doing something right according to the Lord, or they would not be calling me out and trying to argue that God is not real. I feel blessed that this kid is trying to argue with me, a true believer in God who wants to do His will & everything I can to reach people about Him.
Once again, short & to the point. :)

Jesus Is Real

I am blogging for the first time. I've been praying for a way to reach people about Christ and this is where I ended up. I've tried Twitter, Facebook, even built a website thru Yahoo Small Business, but I have faith this is going to be the way God wants me to go.
I am just a nobody that wants to reach anybody I can about our Savior Jesus Christ. I know there are a lot of people who do not believe in Him. But, how can you not believe in a "book" written thousands of years ago with prophecies coming true today? I believe most people who do not believe in God have never even read a Bible. And, if you are reading this and you are one of those nonbelievers who laughs at us believers, its ok, we knew you were going to be here, Jesus told us about you. Therefore we Christians are prepared for people like you.
I am not a Bible scholar. I went to a Christian school for 10 years. Have spent countless hours in church over the years. God has been part of my life since the day I was born. I will not say how long that is, but its quite a while :) 
I personally do not like to do a lot of reading so I will be keeping my blogs short and to the point. 
For this one, I will just say that God is real, Jesus is His Son, and He did die on the cross for your sins. People ask me a lot if God is real why do so many bad things happen. They have not read the Bible. God, and us, have an enemy, his name is Satan. He loves death and destruction. He is not omnipresent like God, but he has a whole lot of demons working for him. I believe they are the angels that were kicked out of Heaven with him when he tried to take over Heaven. The Bible says 10,000 times 10,000 times thousands of thousands of angels are in Heaven. So if one-third of the angels were kicked out of Heaven, that would be a lot. A lot to rule the world with evil & destruction. And, you have to consider, people have a mind of their own. God gave us a mind with free will to choose to believe or not believe in Him. Who do you think are doing the killing and the raping, and the rioting and the looting? I'm guessing the ones who do not believe in God. What do you think?
I said short and to the point so I'm going to end this one here. But I will be back soon. Very soon!
