Don't be superficial with your bible
studies. Dig for deeper meanings of
bible verses. One bible verse doesn't
make doctrine. Everything in the bible is consistent. An interpretation of a biased denomination or individual clouds
perceptions, which causes people, who accept these false doctrines, to be on
the wrong path.
If someone continues to use only one bible verse to prove their point be wary. If one bible verse is correct, then other verses will support it. Rely on the Holy Spirit for discernment. Christianity is not a religion, but a relationship with Jesus on an individual basis.
Salvation is more than just using words. No one is guaranteed into heaven by anyone. No one knows a person's inner being, but God. Salvation comes with a continual walk with Jesus by being aligned with the Holy Spirit, which is freely given to those who seek. When a person receives the Holy Spirit, the person is saved, but the person must continue in the Spirit in order to have the final salvation.
People just like the doctrine of convenience. Just accept Jesus, now, and repent of your sins, and you are saved. Now, just do what Jesus did.
Be careful with the preceding. People are not saved by good works, or the words of false teachers. Without the Holy Spirit, a person is doomed to destruction. Everyone is imperfect, but if a person is aligned with the Spirit, a person resides with God. If a person rebels, he or she will perish, and not be accepted. Being baptized with the Holy Spirit means nothing, fi a person doesn't obey God's will. We are covered by the blood of the lamb by abiding with the Holy Spirit.

Have you lost your first love, like one of the seven churches?
Anyone can act the part, and seem holy. Brothers, and sisters within Christ. Don't be fooled by empty vessels, who have nothing. Good works will not cause anyone to enter the kingdom of heaven.
The Christians, who do not abide within, and follow the Holy Spirit, have lost their way. Christians can only know God's love by having the Spirit of God within them.
Those, who give their lives for Jesus, and don't have God's true love will not inherit the kingdom of heaven.
Have you ever heard Pastor's say that anyone within Christ is guaranteed to go to heaven? The statement is true, if the person abides within God's Holy Spirit.
If you hear Pastor's glorify a person's good works during a funeral, be careful, and don't be fooled. Many, who appeared to be Christians, will not go to heaven, because the Spirit of God was not within them, or being followed, properly.
By God's Spirit all will be judged. Only Jesus knows a Christian from within.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12/24/07
Remember, narrow is the way. The wider path with all the good works, and positive motives is the way toward destruction.
Will all Christians go to heaven? Will most go to heaven? Will all Christians, who are baptized with the Holy Spirit, go to heaven?
The answer is no to all those questions.
Remember the words of Jesus, and follow no
one else. He is the one,
who will judge. Your pastor, church,
and/or denomination will not.
Read the true words of Jesus, and interpret by the Holy Spirit without any interference from anyone. Get back to the true word.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My brothers, and sisters in Christ. Don't put your faith in yourself, but place your faith in Jesus Christ.
Some try to take their own lives, because of lost hope, and despair for many different issues. Don't be selfish by taking your own life. There are always others, who have worse problems, who will praise God, until they die within their time. Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Ghost. Never destroy the temple by your own hands. Be examples for others, and live a life, which will glorify the Lord.
Will a person go to hell, if they commit suicide? Most would say yes to all, who commit this act of dishonor to God. Our purpose is not to accuse, but to encourage. Jesus knows the true facts of any situation, and God will be the final judge. Let the Holy Spirit, within you, guide you to the truth, and live for Jesus, and trust him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10/21/07
Whether our bodies become dust, or become preserved for public viewing, remember all of us will rise again by the only one, who has the keys of life, and death, Jesus Christ. Do not cry for the dead, who are not owned by anyone. All are asleep, until in an instance the chains are broken, and glorified bodies appear from what was, and will be, as our souls and bodies reunite.
Can our bodies be slaves in life, or death, from any master and/or profiteer, while our peace is within Jesus?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3/12/07
Where is your heart? Is it aligned with the Holy Spirit, ot the world? These are the only paths to heaven or hell. By staying in alignment with the Holy Spirit, a person is on the road toward salvation. By being in the will of Jesus Christ with the Holy Spirit, a person is on the path of salvation.
Hebrews 6
4: For it is impossible for those
who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made
partakers of the Holy Ghost,
5: And have tasted the good word of God, and
the powers of the world to come,
6: If they shall fall away, to renew them
again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh,
and put him to an open shame.
Salvation is a continuos process. By your choice, receive the Holy Sprit, and walk in the Spirit, continually in order to be saved. All fall short of the 10 commandments, but our heart should never fall away from the Holy Spirit. Read Matthew 19 16-22.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stop, "hooking up"!
True, men, and women's bodies want to have sex, but as a Christian, our bodies are a temple, just like the Jewish temple. A place where God resides, which is Holy. Those that defileth the temple will suffer the consequences.
No, it is not too late, if someone hooked
up. Ask for forgiveness, and sin no more.
Don't listen to your agnostic, and atheist teachers, etc. who say that humans
are just animals, who should behave like a lower form of life.
Don't listen to those, who are possessed by
evil spirits.
Divorce rates are high, many diseases are spreading rapidly, and emotional instability is increasing by disobeying the true and only God, Jesus Christ.
Don't be silent Christians. Spread the good news to your peer groups, at all costs. What is better, the quick thrill of sex with the consequences, or obeying the law of God?
1Cor 6-19: What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
What type of women, and men have no relationship with others, except for sex? Sex is not love for another person.
Another topic is profanity. Christians, say it like it is.
Mathew:5-37: But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
If the garbage language used on TV, and the movies is just slang, then, who is using the profanity? Don't let these words enter your mind by watching those type of TV shows, or movies.
Send Hollywood a message. Christians should never give in to anyone, who don't have Christian values, because Jesus will return, and bring the judgment. People only have two choices, to be with Jesus, or the fallen angel, for eternity. Take the true God, not the wanna-be imitation, who is the one with "delusions of grandeur" with the power of only a angel.
Just think of these actors, and actresses, who are paid to be fool mouths, and accept the situation, as normal. Let's face it. If most people talk, like those in the movies, and TV, they wouldn't be normal, and probably have mental disorders.
Don't be fooled by so-called realistic TV shows, or movies, either. Hollywood's business is to make money from movie theaters, videos, and foreign distribution. How do foreign strict religions view Americans by the TV shows, and movies from Hollywood? Probably wants them to spread their religions by force, not love.

Don't be fooled. Can Jesus, the anointed one, lie? Does he use untrue situations, or examples to teach us? Of course not. Stories, which may be examples to teach us, are based on truth.
Read Luke Chapter 16, verses 22 thru 31. With this example, Jesus is teaching the truth within a story.
A person dies, and the body goes to the grave, and dwells there. The soul goes to heaven or hell, and the people in hell can see the ones in heaven, as they are tormented in the flame. Their is a gulf between heaven and hell, where no one can cross. No warnings can be given from hell to those, who still live. The ones in hell have their memories, and know people in heaven, and on the earth.
Why would Jesus use this example, if a
person's soul, and spirit sleeps, until his or her
body is risen from the dead? A person's body is dead, but the soul, and
spirit liveth, until the resurrection of the
dead. Was the body of Jesus, and his soul dead for three days, before he
rose from the tomb? Did Jesus cease to exist for three days? Can
anyone cease to exist, until we are risen?

Be proud to be a pure virgin, as others are proud to be what they are. Don't be pressured by the entertainment industry, your friends, relatives, or others to lose the purity that God gave you for your husband or wife.
There are many virgins of many ages, who obey God's law. Most people are not going to confess their virginity, because of the possible ridicule by others. Many people, have problems, who break God's law, before marriage. Don't be fooled by their lies.
Is it hard to be a virgin, when the body needs a partner?
Of course, it is, but a person can be normal, and not do anything with anyone, until God's plan is fulfilled for his or her life. Remember, you are a virgin for your virgin husband or wife, so you can experience everything within God's parameters. Choose a life long partner with God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
Have "Virgin Pride"!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12/11/06
As the bible says, if a brother or sister in Christ offends you go to them in peace, and love, then if the issue isn't settled bring witnesses in Christ to talk to them. However, what does a person do, if the person, and the witnesses, are biased?
For example, what if the witnesses are related, or have an agenda to protect the church at all costs. What if one of the parties knows the truth of what happened, but the others deny, ignore, and/or twist the truth for various reasons to save themselves, and the church?
Remember, whether every one is against you, Jesus Christ is on the side of the truth, and will deal with those, who don't have the truth, unless they repent. Never sacrifice the truth, even if the whole world is against you. Always profess the truth, and never let others destroy you with lies, and false judgments. No one is perfect, but continue in the truth of the Holy Spirit, and always be honest. Never worry about what others think, if you are professing the truth.
Forgiveness doesn't mean that a person must associate with those, who continue to abuse you. Forgiveness is also change, but if a person doesn't change, the person's words are false. Forgive, but let God deal with the ones, who may have other motives to profess their falsehoods without repentance. Never let others use you, as a scapegoat to protect their interests.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9/27/06
Be careful, my Brothers, and Sisters in Jesus Christ, of anyone, who says that we will not have any memories of our past for our eternal existence.
Will we be zombies with Jesus pulling the
strings? If we have no memories of anything, how will we know Jesus, and his sacrifice for us?
How will we know, who we are, and our choice
for salvation? Can people really think, we will eventually die, and be
with Jesus without any knowledge of anything.
Will we begin, as babies again?
Jesus was seen by many in a resurrected, and glorified body, who knew all, and remembered all. We will be like him, and retain our memories, and have a glorified appearance in heaven, and on the renewed earth. We will recognize ourselves, others, and Jesus. Can love be anything else? Don't be fooled.

The web master for "My Home with God" has corrected his server problems.
Since the sermons were moved to Geocities, a new purpose was created for my site with "My Home with God" with bible readings, and more downloads. Choose the link within the drop down box. The new title for the web site is called, "10 Commandments within Jesus Bible Readings".
Remember, as people come to Jesus, they either accept him, as he is, or use him for their own agenda. if people use him, they profess his name in vain, but if they accept him, they inherit his promises.

Acts 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
1 Cor 14:22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.

Audio of the last words of the member in my church, who fell backwards, and died, was obtained during his testimony. He was sitting at the end of the bench, as always, and stood in the aisle for his testimony.
The following is a partial quote from the last testimony of a man, who lived a holy life, and died with words of prophecy. He wasn't perfect, but he loved Jesus, and was a good man.
"...The Lord put the Holy Ghost in me. (Speaks in Tongues!) That's my redemption. That's the day when the Lord calls me home, the Holy Spirit is going to lead me. My body is going to go down. The word of God says that! (Speaks in Tongues) But I thank God for the Holy Ghost..."
(His testimony continues about seeking the Holy Spirit In 1949)
"...I kept praying for the Holy Ghost but the Holy Ghost is wisdom! The word of God says that!...I like to pray loud, I like to pray, but...real soft. I started praying for the Holy Ghost... and that night" (He fell in the aisle on 11/07/05, before he finished the sentence. A loud noise was heard.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11/11/05
Psalms 150:6 "Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD."
Whether we have a short life, or a hundred years, within eternity, our existence is nothing, except to Jesus. All of our accomplishments to others will fade in oblivion.
The world each of us sees would not be seen, if each did not live. If we weren't born, we would not have known of any existence. Heaven is not seen, but we weren't born into heaven. If a unborn child only knew of the womb, wouldn't he or she be scared to leave their world for another existence.

A man rose up in my church to testify on Sunday Morning. He was a veteran of World War II, and about 89 years old. He was about 4 benches from the front on the right side of the church by the narrow windows.
He prayed for me many times in the past to help me receive the Holy Spirit, which I received many years ago. Today, he said, he wanted the Holy Spirit to take him home. A noise was heard. He collapsed to the floor in the aisle by the windows.
People screamed, and prayed, as the pastoral staff ran toward him. Music played. After the paramedics came, they tried to revive him, but the doctor at the hospital said, he probably died in the church. He loved Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. He wanted all to seek the Holy Spirit, and receive it.
His last testimony was captured on the audio system, which his son has a memory of his faith.
The attitude in your heart from the Holy Spirit, as your guide, and moral compass is needed for all. There are no back doors into heaven. Jesus is the only way with only one door. All of us only have each moment. He is now in the hands of Jesus. We have the choice to live for Jesus or against him. Choose the correct path.

A good suggestion in Irag would be, if the United States wants them to have a true democracy, then after their elections, another vote should be taken in a few months. The people in Irag should vote for the date of our departure. Whether we stay, or leave should be on the ballot. Let the people in Irag decide. True, many people in Irag want the Untied States troops to leave, but will they vote for us to leave in a democratic process, after considering the various scenarios.
If the majority wants us to leave, then our troops will depart on a certain date. if the majority wants ust to stay, then we stay, until a certain date. Should the minority in Irag force us out, so they can gain control of the country against the majority? If anyone believes that Irag has a phony government, then let the people vote, while they have the opportunity.
If we leave by their consent, and a real civil war develops, which may cause the end of their new government, then the United States would be resolved of any responsibility by a democratic process.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

True, I believe that our soldiers in Irag should return, as soon as possible, but since we caused their country to become destabilized, we have to help them restore order, and defend themselves.
Our soldiers, and others had to stabilize Japan, and Germany, after World War II, until a form of our democracy, became the norm for most areas.
Are the United States soldiers, or the people of Irag more important? All humans beings are important to God. Who would want a slaughter of the people in Irag. if the terrorists gain control of the country, and kill everyone, who refuses to accept their form of government. Do people really want to be ruled by a dictator?
Dictator's don't give people a choice. Their constitution passed by an overwhelming majority. The people in Irag have begun the process of freedom. Civil war may still occur, but give them a chance to experience freedom with all the positive, and negative elements. The people in Irag over time will correct their own problems, as in our country.
The seeds have been planted. Let the seeds grow, before the wild birds eat them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Christians, like other groups in the
United States, have the right to petition, and influence the government.
True, various groups don't
agree on many issues, even within the
Christian faith.
Should any group feel guilty, because others don't agree? Should any group give up their quest to improve this country for everyone? The marketplace of ideas, for all, is necessary, so others will not give up, but change their mind, and realize their error in thought over time. If Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and the only God, should they be silenced, because of political correctness?
Some groups want all drugs legalized, and
cheaper, so the expense of enforcement will be reduced. As drugs become
more popular, then
maybe drug tests will be needed, before a
person votes. A few people
may believe drug tests, for all, should be
eliminated by companies.
More choice?
Others want to marry more than one woman, or visa versa. Some people may believe, harems are good for society.
A few want doctors to determine, if a person should be injected with drugs, and terminated to prevent the misery of their existence with or without the patients', or relatives permission. The preceding will reduce expenses, as a few people would agree. Others may just want to terminate life, if a person is being kept alive, who may be already dead. Many possibilities. Some may be valid, or not.
Companies may want to hire, the employees suitable for their business. For example, If a customer doesn't want to be served by a black person, then the company should not hire any black people, except for appropriate jobs. Customers shouldn't be offended, an employer would say. A few companies may say that black people, or other minority groups can work with other employers, who need them, which will expand freedom for businesses. Of course, prejudice customers could be told to shop or dine, etc. at other establishments. May be better for employees of all races.
So many different opinions. Should the government be neutral in all areas, and give people their total freedom of choice. Doesn't the morals of our country come from the United States Constitution, not foreign law.
Should the constitution be comprised, because a few don't agree? Citizens are supposed to change the law. If people want the constitution changed, then there is an amendment process. Change doesn't come from the courts, but the people. If people vote, and pass a legal law, then the ones, who disagree, have to obey the law, but they can still disagree, and try to obtain converts to their opinion.
There may be people, who want to eliminate freedom of speech, except for themselves. Look what happened in World War II in Germany. Elections were held in a democratic process, and the loser, and his party didn't agree with the wishes of the people, so he took over, eventually, and imposed his parties policies on everyone. Millions died, until the United States, and others broke their spirit of destruction.
Our founding fathers, who
weren't perfect, tried to use Christian
and Jewish law to found our country, which
was a good foundation, and excellent choice. There was no other countries at the time, who were governed, not
by the rulers, the courts, and/or the religious zealots, but by all the
citizens. Power came from the people within the foundation of the United
States Constitution.
Our founders were intelligent enough to give everyone their freedom to express their religious beliefs without interference from Congress. Compromises were included in the Constitution, and other documents, because people had various opinions. A civil war corrected some of the errors.
On all issues, please remember, as a Christian, ask what would Jesus do?
Would Jesus give people drugs for a high, kill someone, discriminate, find more than one mate for a person, etc.? I don't see the face of Jesus in those areas, but maybe you do. Stand up for your beliefs, and be heard to improve this country. Don't be embarrassed to express God's opinion on issues, and influence the laws.
In the marketplace of ideas, Jesus will prevail, because Jesus is God. If some believe humans enveloped from an ape, baboon, or monkey, then they can vote from that perspective. To a few of them, humans are nothing special, unless they are the ones in power. All are entitled to their opinion, and have the right to influence the government. Be proud to be a true Christian, but love, for all, doesn't mean everything is legal in a society to give freedom of choice to everyone. Chaos could develop, but order is the objective for a better life for all.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pray for the soldiers in Irag, and other areas around the world. Whether or not a person agrees with invading Irag, and bringing a dictator to justice, people should agree on prayer.
Someday, our soldiers will return, but not until the new government of Irag can defend their citizens, and have a better chance to prevent a civil war, which will kill too many people.
Even the United States had problems, when this country was formed, and a civil war expanded the freedom, which was always for everyone. There was much disagreement, and dissent. Civil war may still result in the future of Irag, even after our soldiers leave, but if they return home too soon, civil war will certainly result with catastrophic results.
The people of Irag
deserve to have the chance to let the experiment continue, as stated by one of
our famous Americans in the 18th century.
Simply, the United States caused the
destabilization, and our soldiers should stay in Irag,
until the government can defend itself, and it's
people to prevent worse bloodshed.
No Christian should support violence, or war. Sometimes the only solution is to defend those, who have no options, or choice, because of a greater evil, even if many of the ones helped don't care one way or the other. Does God give up on his people? Based on the evil, his people brought to this planet, God could have destroyed everything, already, but his mercy saved all to give all the chance of salvation through Jesus Christ.
Until people can choose their path, and have the ability to defend their choice, support is needed. As a correlation, sometimes, artificial support is needed for a person's body, until healing occurs.
On an individual basis, people in Irag only care about their families, and lives, like people in the United States. Most don't want to hurt anyone, or kill our soldiers, even if many want us to leave their country. Discover the truth about the situation in Irag. Don't just listen to certain news outlets, who portray only the negative elements.
Let's face it, Irag's constitution is their formation, and they have to work out their problems. The United States gave them the chance of freedom. The people in Irag have to learn, what freedom involves. Freedom has to be earned, and only time will determine the fate of Irag.
Be proud of our soldiers, and their contribution, and sacrifice for the freedom of all. Just pray. Prayer works within God's time.

Remember, the devil is a fallen angel from heaven, who doesn't have to obtain followers by throwing out the entire bible, but only items, which will send people to helL are necessary. The devil only has the power, not of a God, but only as an angel, who wants to be worshipped, as God. There are many mysteries in the Bible, and questions.
Honest discussion, and disagreement is
totally different than letting contamination enter the body of Christ, which
will corrupt, and destroy,
and send millions to hell.
For example, if people are receiving the
Holy Spirit, in a church with
the evidence of speaking in tongues, and the
Pastor says, not to bring that tongue talking in the church, then obey the will
of God. Maybe, a church needs tongue talking.
Even if God works a certain way, many Pastors will deny the power, because the denomination is more important than the truth of Jesus Christ. The philosophy of many preachers is that the denomination must be protected at all costs Their position relies on their denomination. Obey Jesus, and read the bible for yourself in a fresh way without contamination from preachers, and reference books.

Is it possible that the Garden of Eden was not only a specific place on the Earth, but also the entire planet? Think about it.

If a person cuts open a seed, an impression of the future can be seen. Leafs and stems attached to a core. If life in the universe was by accident, and everything evolved, can impressions of life be found in gas and energy. If so, would the universe have a purpose. A purpose implies intelligence. The ultimate intelligence is God, our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ, who created all from nothing. If a person believes nothing created the universe, and life by accident, then there is no purpose.

How many good works are needed to enter
heaven? Will a thousand be needed, or if a few help more people, will
those over shadow the many?
Thank God, good works are not the key to
heaven. We are created in Jesus unto good works. Read Effusions
Chapter 2.
If a person is saved, when he or she accepts Jesus how can a person not be known by Jesus, and denied heaven? Read Acts 4:12.
If a person is saved, how can he or she turn away? Are we chosen, as long as we want to be chosen? If people stay within the light of the Holy Spirit, aren't we guided within the truth unto good works?.
For those, who deny the Spirit within them, and follow their own will, salvation will be lost. The Holy Spirit is our guide, and compass toward the truth, and salvation of Jesus. Those, who deny the Spirit. will turn away toward their own course, and perish. Too many Christians will profess Jesus, but not know the true Jesus. Do these people believe that they are saved?
Those who obey the light will inherit the salvation of Jesus. Stay within the light, and for those, who have turned against the Spirit return to the truth. No one is perfect, but Jesus.
Don't let your heart be hardened by evil. The Holy Spirit within us is our key to heaven, and final salvation with Jesus. Receive the Holy Spirit, and stay on course. The Holy Spirit can be around you, or within you, as a believer of Jesus. Let the person of the Holy Spirit mold you from within your being, and let the true light of Jesus shine in your life. Will Jesus know you by your works, or by your true spirit?

All are judged by the word toward our eternal destiny. If we have a one on one relationship with Jesus Christ, and obey his word, he abides in us, and we in him, and we will inherit the kingdom of heaven, instead of damnation.
No one can say a specific person is going to heaven, or pray a person into heaven. From a preacher to a member of a church, or not, all anyone knows is the outward appearance of someone. Jesus knows us from within.
Beware anyone, who says a person is going
to heaven, or hell, after death.
The preceding is not in the bible, and is not
scriptural.
True, all have faith that relatives, and others, who have died, entered heaven, if they obeyed the word, but the word is the final authority. Many may be surprised, when they enter heaven, and not see many people, or see others, who some thought went to hell.
No matter how good, or bad the person appears to be, the word is the final judge. Jesus judges all by his word, and he is our advocate with the Father.
Read James Chapter 8, and other verses, which relate to the above comments.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't confuse the initial filling of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues, and receiving the gift of speaking in tongues, after receiving the Holy Spirit. Read I Corinthians Chapter 12.
If there is no initial evidence of being baptized into one body by the Holy Spirit, anyone could say that they believe the Spirit of God is within them, or think they have, or can speak in tongues. Seek the true Spirit.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3/7/05
Read Acts 1:1-5, I John 2:3, 3:22,
5:2-3. Are commandments suggestions?
Is there an 11th commandment, which
encompasses all the others? Romans 3:23-26. John 7:37-39.

Many quote Acts 2:21, and never read the entire chapter. Never interpret bible verses out of context. Acts 2:37 through 41 are, also, important. If a person only has to call on the name of the Lord to be saved, then why should a person be baptized in water, and receive the Holy Spirit, then continue steadfastly. Acts 2:41 says that before the preceding occurred, they gladly accepted the words of Jesus. Read the whole chapter. If a person only has to call on the name of Jesus, then a person doesn't need to be baptized in water and receive the Holy Spirit. Use the intelligence, God gave everyone. Don't be trapped in enthusiasm, and the easy gospel.
Another question would be, if the Holy Spirit enters into a person, when the words of Jesus are accepted, then why does a person need to be baptized in water, and the Holy Spirit? Think about it. There is a difference between water being outside a seed, and entering the seed, so the seed can grow, and bear fruit for Jesus.
================================================================================

Please read Chapter 14 of John, and contemplate the words of Jesus.

1/30/05
Have a personal relationship with
Jesus. Let the Holy Spirit enter by eliminating the wall, which separates
a person from Jesus. Jesus doesn't
have a wall of separation.
Think of it this way. In the United States, many believe there is a wall of separation from religion and the government. Neither can interfere with each other.
However, as the truth becomes known, the wall is only one way. The government is not allowed to interfere with religion, and establish a religion for everyone. Pure Christianity, as other groups, can influence the culture, and the government, as a moral base, with the will of Jesus through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Freedoms should never be abolished with anyone's agenda. Freedom comes from the creator, who is God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1/20/05
A church without the Holy Spirit is just an organization. Was the Holy Spirit just for the early church? Isn't Jesus the same yesterday, today, and forever? Is the Holy Spirit our compass toward salvation, and the key to everlasting life with Jesus? Read the bible, and the words of Jesus. Don't interpret the bible with reference books. Interpret the reference books with the bible.

A few minutes before midnight on January
1, 2005, a young 18 year old woman from my church was killed, as she was thrown
from her car, while she exited the highway. She wore no seat belt.
Her car, which was a convertible, went airborne, rolled over, and hit a
barrier. Her 17 year
old friend, who also was not wearing a
restraint, was not critically injured, but required hospitalization.
Since she was a popular person at her High School, many of her fellow students, and teachers came to my church for the memorial service on 1/4/05. All benches were filled with mourners. Extra chairs were placed in the aisles. Some were taken to the overflow area with a video projection of the memorial service. Some of her friends cried during the service, as they walked past the closed casket, and in the lobby. Others had a blank look on their faces, many couldn't understand, and a few were in a daze.
The young people in the church sang a song to express their love for their friend, who came to the church about 2 years ago. Within those two years, the young woman was baptized in water, and was filled with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. Other songs were sung by other members of the church.
As the Pastor said, everyone is terminal, and the main question is why do these occurrences happen, but everyone's hope is in Jesus, if we obey his word, and follow him. This service is for the living, not the dead, he stated.
Express your love for your friends, and others, while they live. Love everyone. No one is immortal in this life. Place your trust in Jesus, because no one is guaranteed tomorrow. Life is sacred for all.

Don't be fooled. Good works have nothing to do with obtaining heaven, but good works are an expression of a person's relationship with Jesus through the Holy Ghost.

With the old covenant, God's presence dwelt within the temple, but with the new convenient, Jesus dwells within those, who are filled with the Holy Spirit. Just believing, Jesus is the Son of God is not enough. Let the temple of God dwell within you.

Don't hide behind the walls of your church. Open the windows, and break out of your current isolation with the songs, and word of Jesus for your neighbors. Have the religious freedom, which has been given to all by God.

Love all in the world. There is either love, or hate. Don't make excuses to destroy others to promote your agenda.
I saw a public television special, which stated that about 800.000 Jews were killed by the Romans in the second century to wipe them off the face of the earth. The preceding was worse than the holocaust on a percentage basis. The Romans even changed the name of Judea to Palestine to annihilate the Jews from memory. Didn't work, because Jesus has a better plan to save the world, and bring love to all.
Remember, the Jewish people were legally
given a homeland by the United Nations, after World War II. However, the
Palestinians want their land back for different reasons, and some will
accomplish their goal by any means. Israel has the right
to defend itself, whether their policies are correct or not in many areas.
The Messiah will settle the dispute, when
he returns with a final decision.
Love all, and hate no one. Forgive your neighbor, whether your neighbor forgives you are not. Jesus will be the judge.

My religious web sites are my personal sites, and both are my ministry. Neither are affiliated with any church and/or organization. I tried not to endorse any denomination. However, I have incorporated many of my churches beliefs into the information. My purpose is for people to read the bible, and follow Jesus, and his words. Don't follow a convenient Jesus. Follow the real Jesus, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

I have a relative, who told me that she doesn't want to go to heaven, if her husband was accepted by Jesus. He died many years ago. She believes with all her soul that he went to hell for certain reasons, which I don't want to mention. Won't everyone accept each other in heaven, if Jesus opened the gate?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For those, who listen to different preachers of every denomination, salvation seems to be a confusing issue.
Some say, a person is saved, when he or she comes to the platform, and gives their life to Jesus. Others say, all a person has to do is accept Jesus. How is salvation defined?
Many say, once people accept Jesus, they will go to heaven, even if their lives are not perfect. Once saved always saved is the phrase many preachers use. In other words, even if people were saved decades ago, and have been walking the wrong path, Jesus will accept them into heaven. Stated by many preachers is that only in extreme circumstances will people lose their salvation. Does the degree of sin cast a person into hell?
A few pastors believe that salvation is a continuous process. A person must continue on the right path with the Holy Spirit, as a guide, in order for salvation to be complete, when he or she dies. In other words, a person is 100% saved, at death, and will never lose their salvation for eternity.
Is saying that I believe, Jesus is the Son of God, and will follow him, enough to be saved? Jesus is the final word. Only follow Jesus, and read the word. Don't be lead into hell. There are no excuses for your individual relationship with Jesus.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10/22/04
Some preachers believe a person receives the Holy Spirit, when he or she accepts Jesus. Others believe the Holy Ghost is a gift, which can be received at some point. A few don't even preach about the Spirit of God, except occasionally. Most will never say the Holy Spirit is required to enter heaven. Many, even with the Holy Spirit, may not be accepted into the kingdom of heaven, as those without. Who is correct? Ask Jesus.
Which Pastor is correct? The one, who says the Holy Ghost is not needed to enter heaven, or the ones, who insist to receive it with the evidence of speaking in tongues, as a requirement to obey the word. Should a person possess everything Jesus has to offer? Jesus is the final judge. Don't take chances with your eternal destiny. Read the word.

A few people have asked why I have certain charities on my donation links.
Throughout history, there have been conflicts between people, religions, and/or denominations. One or the other wanted power, and to proclaim their truth. Over time no one remembers, who caused anything, but the violence, and horror continued. Instead of allowing each person to choose their path, some believe their way must be forced on others by violence, and destruction. Christianity, as other religions, have been used by the people, who have the power, to annihilate others, and force them to submit with great loss of life, and misery.
The love of Jesus brings the truth to those, who will listen. If people don't listen, and deny the truth, they will still be judged by the truth. The truth is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Love all, even if others hate you, and want to hurt you. Be as the lamb of God. Only follow Jesus. He is the way, the truth, and the life.
The purpose of my Christian web sites are to cause people to read the bible, and do what Jesus wanted his followers to do. Read unbiased versions of the bible, and investigate interpretations of the word within context from good sources.
I don't want to discriminate against anyone on purpose, whether i agree, or disagree with any beliefs, and practices of any denomination, and/or religion.
None are perfect. Individuals will be judged by Jesus by his word, and the ones, who have obeyed his truth will have eternal life with him. Jesus saves. No religion, denomination, works, and/or labels save anyone.
I wanted a variety of charities, which will give people a choice. Make the right choice and give to the work of Jesus, as the Holy Spirit gives you direction. Follow the one true path toward salvation, and not the ones toward destruction. Just because someone calls themselves a Christian, doesn't mean that the person is on the right path.
If the Spirit informs you to give money to a certain organization, then obey the word, and not your opinions and/or traditions. Plant your seed in good soil, as determined by Jesus, which will have more effect to help others with a good harvest. If the Holy Spirit wants you to give, because of my web sites, to an organization, which is not listed, please obey without question.
How does a person receive, and obey the Holy Spirit? Read the bible, and do as Jesus taught. Don't take chances with your eternal destiny. Obey Jesus.
A woman in my church testified that a student had a book, which was the myths of the bible. The book was larger than the bible. She asked him, "Did you ever read the bible?" He said, "No." How much does a person put faith in a book from a person, which is not known, as compared to the bible, which is the true word of God within the old, and new testament. A person doesn't know Jesus through others.
Christians follow Jesus with an individual relationship.

I just received my first negative
guestbook comment, since 2000 for the "10 Commandments within Jesus"
web site. I read it, and deleted it, but after pondering my decision, I
will let my visitors read the comment on this page. Since our soldiers
are trying to bring freedom to the people of Irag, and others areas of
the world, this person has the right to express n opinion, even if it is not
correct. Although, I am not perfect, and I did my best
with the web site.
The guestbook comment follows:
First Name: Pat
City and State: MN
"Your site layout is painful. Please change it. It seriously (and I am not exaggerating) gives me a headache. It is almost sacrilegious to proclaim the Lords greatness so ineptly."
End guestbook comment.
While being led by the Holy Spirit, creativity, imagination, and symbolism was used to bring my perceptive on the word of God in a respectful way for children, and adults. Items are serious, funny, and poignant, but the love of Jesus is the foundation. The graphics, etc. give a refreshing twist on the word of God in a way, which will catch your eye, and create discussion. My web site has many aspects, and many meanings of interpretation. The web site makes people think, and explore different possibilities. Also, I created the "10 Commandments Portal", which is a simpler web site for those, who don't like too many frills.
