     The premise that God owns all things is a true statement. There isn't anything that God does not own. He started this whole place, He will end it on His terms. I think it would be wise to go along with Him instead of against Him. You will have a better life. Once we learn this basic principle, our lives can change if we apply it to our daily lives. Keep a journal or diary and see how God works in your life. Read the bible and apply what you read to your life and believe on Him who was sent to save your soul from hell and destruction.

     This site is dedicated to Truth, saving souls of human beings, helping people in need and teaching just a little of what I know to be true from life's experiences by what is written in the Holy Bible as the comparison for absolute truth... God's manual to living on this planet. I believe the Holy Bible is the absolute truth. In this present day, many people have been indoctrinalized and inoculated into believing this lie; that there is or are no absolutes. This breeds much confusion. How can anyone ever say that there are no absolute truths. Just pondering about that concept would make any rational individual (that will be honest with themselves) realize that this cannot be a true statement. It's just a way out of taking full responsibility for one's own actions. Or allowing certain beliefs or habits into one's life with no moral regrets. It will never be true and cannot be a true statement. Is murder wrong or is cold blooded murder right? That's just one example of an argument to this lie.

     I do not claim to be anything but a Christian. A follower of Jesus Christ. I do not place myself under any denomination's official name, although I do attend a Baptist church. I am a saved sinner (just like every human is a sinner) justified by Jesus Christ's bloodshed, death and resurrection on the cross for my sin atonement. For if it was not for that sacrifice for my sins, I would be dead in my sins and go to hell when I die. I would not have the authority or right to come to our Lord Jesus Christ with my petitions and concerns or even speak to the Father. Rather I would only have the right to be forgiven as my only petition or to ask God to show Himself to me to prove that He is real, so that I CAN be saved from myself. Why? Because the wages of sin is death and all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God. 

     I have been reading the bible since I was about 12. Certainly not as I should have lately and certainly do not claim to be anywhere close to a perfect man or a master man of knowledge and practitioner of God's Word and teachings. I try, but I'm far from that, which is why I am thankful for Jesus Christ and what He did on the cross for all of us, especially myself. This is why the Bible says to renew our minds and stay in His Word daily. Test this out and see if it is true. I KNOW it is. I have been through some very mean times in my life as most people have. If i get to a place where I cannot handle life, I realize that I am not reading the Bible and fully trusting God. When I begin reading it seems like i cant concentrate on the Word. but when I stay at it, they really do come alive. Sometimes they come alive immediately and I KNOW that God is helping me right then. It is such a good feeling that really cannot be described in our language.

Is the Bible still relevant even 2000+ years after Jesus Christ died for all our sins? Yep, 100%. Love is the goal, heaven is the goal, good works to glorify God is the goal, but a relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the ultimate goal and is what God wants from us.  Jesus said that really the only 2 commandments we need is to #1, Love the Lord your God with all your heart mind and being and secondly to do unto others as you would HAVE them do unto you. All the other commandments fall under those two if you examine them.

     I have found that God's Word is true weather we believe it or not. I have lived the outcome in this lifetime of certain decisions I chose to make that I was forewarned against doing from reading the bible. Many people would find these things small ticket compared to some major issues, but every decision we make in life steers us where we go in the future and course for our life. Large or Small, doesn't matter. I have learned that it is better to just take God's word for a matter, rather than to learn it after the fact or the hard way. His Word is true and will and can not not ever become otherwise.

     The opposite side of believing and trusting God is Hell (when we die) and a life of wandering with no real purpose while we are alive on this planet. A real place of everlasting torment where the worm never dies. Hell is a place of darkness, sorrow, mourning, pain, regret, no rest, no peace, uncomfortable to the extreme 'nth'. It is a place that no one on the earth or in Hollywood (not even Stephen King), in their wildest imagination could think up of how terrible, permanent, unpleasant, painful and unjoyful hell will be. yes it is sad to think about the fact that many people will be there.

   Some of the devil's lies about hell is that there is no hell, its here on earth, its not as bad as God says it is or that maybe hell is just a place of continual partying. He is also deceived himself into believing that he will overthrow God. The devil's angels even know that that isn't going to happen. Read in the bible - Luke 4:34 - Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God. 

See also Luke 8:28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not. - So, even the demons prayed to Jesus and believe in God. It is not enough to believe in God. You must trust Him and believe IN AND ON HIM.

     The devil speaks to us in half truths mostly (like he did to Eve in the famous garden of Eden), to make the lies sound honest, official and truthful, but the real truth is that hell is a place where God is not and will not be. It is where he will place those WHO CHOOSE by their own decisions to be, away from God. He will forget them as they requested and decided to purposefully forget God. They wanted and desired to forget God while they had life on this earth and the consequence is that God will honor their request. It is total separation from God and His love, forever. It is death. There is more in the bible describing hell than there is describing heaven. 

Hell is a real place that was originally created for the reservation of the devil and his angels when he considered in his heart to be like God and want to rule over God. Of course the devil is no match for his creator and he knows this and knew this. If he doesn't, his angels (demons) sure do as the bible plainly shows in the New Testament.

Maybe this is the answer to that smart-alec question, "Can God create a rock so big that even He can't lift it up"? I believe He could if He wanted to, but would not, for what is the purpose? Then again, there isn't anything that He cant do, except go against His own Word, commandments or do evil and wickedness. But, those angels that chose to follow the devil instead of God, (yes they had a choice as we do) are going to be tormented day and night forever and ever. 

Due to the fact that God was gracious enough to give us humans (His creation) free will (hence the evil that is in this world), sadly, many nice people who chose to reject Jesus Christ (the only way to salvation from eternal damnation) will be there as well.

Some believe that this is either unfair or untrue. It is neither. It is our choice and we all get to hear the Gospel and decide for our own selves. Some believe that earth is hell because we experience bad times, sometimes extremely bad and horrific times. If anyone knows about that, it would be me. The fact is that no one promised anyone a good and perfect, problem free life. God never did after the fall of mankind.

So if any pastor teaches you that once you become saved your problems are over, do not follow him. Yes, DO be SAVED from hell! But the more we obey Him, the better our lives will be. We can have the peace that surpasses all understanding that will rest on us. Even if were going through what we feel is the roughest times. It is difficult to describe, besides saying that even in the middle of the worst times that you can't imagine would ever happen, there is still an inner peace. That doesn't mean you're happy about the circumstance. I cant stand people who pretend that extremely tough situations don't bother them. They bother everyone. That's being human. some people handle it different than others, some are more patient, and some become so distraught over circumstances that it steals their joy. Joy and happiness are two different things. I've been in both places, both extremes within the last few years, so I have the authority to speak about this. Joy should always be in your soul after your saved. Happiness is when your hope is filled.

The old testament (Proverbs) says that hope deferred makes the heart grow sick but when that hope comes it is a wellspring of life. I cant remember the actual verse so I'm sure its a paraphrase, but that's what it means in Proverbs. I've found that to be true in my life. Jesus' word says that through much tribulation shall you enter the kingdom of heaven. more about that Below

To obey is better than sacrifice1 Samuel 15:22 - And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

     Back when that part of the Bible was written, people sacrificed animals to The Lord. Only the best would be accepted. Best in muscle tone, best in appearance, best shape etc. and that what hat verse is referring to I believe. It is still relevant today. Jesus was our unblemished, perfect sacrifice for atonement for our sins. I realize that for many it is a difficult concept, especially in this day when we are sold science and human nature as the popular religion. I guess the best way to look at it is this...

I learned this from Kirk Cameron's ideas of presenting the gospel. It is the most simple and honest approach. There are 10 commandments by God. Really there are two that all the rest hang on: Love the Lord with all your heart, mind and soul and love your neighbor as yourself. If these are followed, you cant fail with God and all the others will be obeyed. Fact is, no one is sinless. No one has followed all the commandments. There are many really GOOD people and you may be one of them. But Like I said above there will sadly be nice/good people in hell. I hate to even think about that.

So lets look at some of the Commandments that God demands that we keep:

- have you ever told a lie? What does that make you? What are people called when they are caught lying?

- Have you ever lusted after someone else who you weren't married to? Jesus said that who ever looks on a woman with lust in their heart has committed adultery already.

- Have you ever stolen anything? Even if it was worth one penny? or a pencil? if you took something that was not yours to take, then that is stealing. What does that make you?

- Have you ever murdered anyone? I hope not. But Jesus said that if you are angry without a cause against your brother, you are guilty of murder in your heart.

Those are only four of the ten commandments. Since it is that easy to go against God's perfect holiness, what would a just and good judge say at the hearing against these things? A corrupt judge would say, "we'll let you slide this time". But a just and sovereign judge would not allow a murderer or rapist to go free. A sin is a sin as far as sin is concerned. You're either guilty or innocent in the court's eyes. You wouldn't want a judge to let a murderer go free or a rapist would you? I am not comparing stealing a pencil to raping someone. I am pointing out that sin is sin and breaking the law is breaking the law. So then, now that we have established this, what if you admitted that you are a Lying, adultering, thieving, murderer (at least at heart), even if it was for one second and only one time?

So you're standing before the judge with only these charges before you. what will you say? That you've done enough good to outweigh the bad? That doesn't work. Most other (if not all) religions place their standard of obtaining enlightenment or atonement on the basis of doing good works. Christianity is the ONLY one where we place our trust in a perfect sacrifice because we are not holy and cant live up to God's standards. How many other religious leaders even claimed to have risen from the dead? How many have over 500 eyewitnesses of their resurrection? I don't know of any other than Jesus Christ.

God demands holiness from His creation. There is nothing wrong with being a good person or trying to be. We are told to do good works to glorify God the Father in heaven. The world would be a better place if everyone did their best to be a good person. but if you asked the judge to please just let my murder slide because I did a lot of good charitable events prior... what should he say? If he lets you go Scott free, that is a corrupt a judge and just as guilty as the person standing in the defendants place. So you are to pay the cost, the price of the penalties. The only way to do this is to offer perfection. We cant do that. Jesus was that perfect man. He never sinned once. Not even in His heart. He was perfect before God and man. He ALWAYS did the will of His Father. We normally do the will of ourselves.

While Jesus was living as a man on this planet he was tempted as every man has been tempted. Even the devil offered him the entire world and all the riches and honor if he only fell down and worshipped him. Jesus refused and refuted him with Scripture.

     So were back to the sentencing for the crimes. What if someone told you that your fines and penalties were paid for you? Would you take that? Would you accept that or would you rather pay the fines and penalties yourself? All you have to do is take the payment and tell the judge that it was all paid in full by someone else. That someone else is Jesus Christ. That was the whole purpose of dying on the cross and coming back to life. You do realize that NO other religion even claims that any of their leaders resurrected themselves? Jesus makes this claim. He is real. There is historical evidence that every event in the new testament and many in the old testament were 100% accurate. Not only that, but prophecies that were told that have come true, came true to the punctuation.

No one else has ever done this. No one else has that ability. Only God.

Take Jesus Christ right now as your payment for your sins so that you can escape hell. When you believe ON and in Jesus, you will read His Word and get to know Him. If you ask Him to show himself to you, He will. Try it and see.

On the day that Jesus was suffering on the cross there were two men on either side of him. One believed that Jesus was the son of God and knew Jesus could save his soul and no one else. And that he knew he was guilty as being punished. He asked Jesus for mercy and forgiveness and Jesus said that "Truly I say to you, today you will be with ME in paradise". The other man told Jesus that if you are the son of God like you say you are, get us down from here and let us not suffer this death. He knew he was guilty, but his heart was that he shouldn't be punished, or didn't deserve to be punished for his sins and only wanted a way from escaping his judgment. Jesus kept silent. Even the roman guards mocked Jesus with those words.

Afterwards, when Jesus died and the sky went dark, lightnings and thunderings and the temple vale was split in two by God. Since it was a holy occasion (Jewish Passover), they had to dispose of the bodies sooner than normal. One of the guards came to break the legs of the men on the cross, but Jesus was already dead. This also fulfilled a prophecy that not one of his bones shall be broken. The guard poked him in the side to make sure he was dead and blood and water came flowing out. The guard said surly this was the Son of God. No one has water come out of them. Just blood.

Jesus also showed Himself to over 500 witnesses after he rose from the grave. That is a lot of eye witnesses. There are accounts in history books as evidence that this is true. Even the ones who hated Jesus back in those days didnt refute that Jesus had risen from the dead. So there is nothing false about Jesus or His teachings or words in the Bible. Take what He did for all who will obey Him and accept his gift of everlasting, eternal life. The opposite side of that is everlasting death, eternally. Sounds like a no brainer to me. Believe in Jesus Christ and live.

   One thing that I believe that will happen in hell is the full remembrance of this life. Especially all the times one had a chance to be saved, all the words they heard of God giving them a chance to repent and be forgiven and not be where they are. All the tugs at their souls to obey God to follow Him and go His way. This I personally think is what the 'weeping and gnashing of teeth' means, regret. Forever regretting that they chose to believe the lie or worshiping the creature more than the Creator as described in Romans 1:25 - Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Another lie that the devil throws out there are the questions; "If you give your life to God, do you know what He might do to you? Do you know what He will take away from you? We don't know until we do it. I know this though, God has never taken anything GOOD away from me or anyone else I know. Sure bad things will happen, this is part of the fall of mankind when the first man, Adam sinned and sin entered into the world. Do you recall in the bible when God was so upset that He even created us that He repented of it and was going to fully destroy us all? Thankfully, God is a Just God and spared the lives of Noah and his family to replenish the earth. Noah was the only man who didn't have continual evil in his heart. The Bible says that everyone on the earth were continually evil at that time but spared Noah and his family to replenish the earth with animals and people after the flood. By the way, that really makes us all of us distant cousins doesn't it? Science proves time and again that the earth was fully covered by water at one point in time (if you were wondering). Science ALWAYS proves Scripture. God really does love us. He hates sin. He hates it when we sin against each other because it is ultimately sinning against Him. We all deserve hell. thankfully God loved us enough to send His ONLY son; Jesus to take our place, pay off our sin debt in full. There is no other way that we can enter heaven or even have a relationship with God. A gift. Salvation is a gift.

The bible says it is the gift of eternal life. A gift is free. We must receive a gift in order to own that gift.

If someone who was very wealthy wanted to give you a wrapped present would you take it? The gift would not be yours unless you actually took it and received it. Then no matter what was inside the wrapped present would be yours. It's the same with the gift of salvation except we KNOW what that gift is.

 

     This is why Christians are certain and very secure in their beliefs and about their future after they die. It is also WHY they want others to know. No Christian wants to see ANY PERSON go to hell. No matter how badly they have acted on this planet. Now I wont be a hypocrite and say that there are some very evil men out there and have been who I at one time would have wanted to be in Hell but once we forgive them (and we have to or Jesus will not forgive us), then we cant stand the thought of them in a permanent place or torment. They can understand that to die is to gain because we will be with Christ after this life. What hope is there in going about your days without a true purpose or a true meaning or believing that once you die, that's it? Why be a good person if once you die that's all there is? What would it matter? sadly a lot of very loving, nice  and giving people that do not believe in Jesus as their savior will not be in heaven. and I'm speaking of ETERNITY. That is forever. Time will not exist. It only exists here on earth. Yes, that is a strange concept to try and grasp and no one will until we get there after we leave the planet.

 

     So where do you want to be for ever? In a place where you'll remember all your regrets and the most important one about being saved continually, that is a place of torment continually, where the worm never dies and there is NO REST or in a place where  you will be peaceful and have real joy and real REST for ever? It IS YOUR CHOICE to make. no one is forcing anything on you. It is a choice just like Adam and Eve made in the garden when tempted by the devil to eat forbidden fruit. They only had ONE RULE. That was it. One. So I don't believe it is upbringing that causes people to be good bad. It is their own choices to make in this life. I highly doubt that God the Father of all the Living was a bad Father and neglected them in any way. It was the opposite. They had the best of the best and still disobeyed the ONLY rule there was on the entire planet. We have NO IDEA how good they had it. we do know from what the bible tells us that they didnt have to work for their food until they sinned against God. all their days were relaxed, pleasant and probably was more of any paradise than any human can ever imagine. Heaven will be better and so far PAST any human beings imagination that it boggles my mind to hear someone tell us what we will have or wont have in heaven. we don't know. God is gracious. Jesus said," in my Fathers house are many mansions, I go now to prepare  a place for you. If this were not true I would have told you". (paraphrased by me) Personally I'd rather be with God, have NO WANTS ever and live in a mansion when I leave this earth than do nothing but gnash my teeth and be in want for eternity. But that's just me. What is that YOU want?

 

 

 

Many people who do not know The Lord have asked this question,

"How can a loving God condemn someone He loves to hell"?

The short answer is, He doesn't. I answered this above actually. He allows us to choose our own way. He set the rules, but we have full power over the decision to choose God or our own selves. He plainly tells us of the consequence of choosing our own way that is not of God. He has written his commandments on every human's conscience. We all know right from wrong, no one is deprived of that, although the current world view and theology is that there are no absolutes. 

God did not create pre-programmed robots without freewill. That is one of the beautiful things that He gave us, free will. Like everything, this liberty can be misused and abused and is by everyone. We all have sinned and fell short of God's glory. What good would it be to God if we were all doing nothing but obeying a program? Always doing the what God wants us to do but ONLY because He forced us too? No, it doesn't work that way, He gave us free will. That is the reason for evil on earth and why bad things happen to good people. God does not interfere with man's will.

Can you see how complex and deep this topic can get? On one side He knows everything that we will do from the time we are born until the time we die. He knows WHEN we will die and how we will die. He know the number of hairs we have on our heads. He knows everything. Then the other questions comes up... then why would a loving God allow bad things to happen to good people? Again, the answer is in free will. He tells us not to do things by writing the 10 commandments on all of our hearts (Romans 2:15), but He gives us the freedom to choose one way or the other. Bad decisions made to harm good people happen. It is life.

Can't God protect us? of course, and I'm willing to bet that if we KNEW all the times He DID protect us we'd bow down many times a day with thanksgiving and praise!

     Let's try to look at rejecting Jesus Christ (God's only begotten Son) from this perspective...

How would you feel if you watched the people that you created and had rule and authority over, break your rules, not care about you as much as you care about them and actually know that they would rather forget you and then reject a powerful, LOVING act of sending your ONLY Son to die in their place because you REALLY wanted to be with them that badly?

Again watching them go about their lives that you gave them, (hearing every word they speak) rejecting that final massive effort after telling them that if they reject it, you will not be able to be alive anymore, but even worse, suffer permanent detachment, forever? But if you DO choose it, you can live forever in glory and perfect serenity. God sent His ONLY Son to be a sacrifice for us! we are filthy rags compared to God's glory. Nothing that we've ever done right is close to God's righteousness. And is why we need a savior.

For myself the trade off is a 'no-brainer'. Death or life? Hmmmm... Life for me please!

Jesus Christ was a perfect man who never sinned once. He did only those things that pleased His Father. He was the sacrifice offering for every human beings sins, past present and future. There is no more atonement for sin other than this sacrifice to God.

Again, I don't claim to be an expert and know everything. And yes, you must have faith to please The Lord. It isn't that difficult to believe when you look at even simple science or how a plant grows of its own kind from seed. Or how each animals is unique and how the human body is so extremely complex and perfectly made. We simply cannot be here by chance or evolution of cells over a period of millions of years. Believing in evolution (Darwin's style) takes more faith to believe in than someone telling you its going to rain gold bricks next Tuesday. 

God Loves you. He loves me, He loves us all despite all our flaws. He made a way out of being punished for our sinful ways. We need only believe and accept the grace that He gave and the gift of work of the cross where Jesus paid our price.

Why should you, might you believe what the Bible and Christians say about Jesus?

Jesus of Nazareth was a real person. This is historical fact. The accounts of his life while on earth are written in other historical books other than the Bible. So it is pure ignorance to say that Jesus didnt even exist. The same Jesus died on a cross, this is historical fact. There were over 500, FIVE HUNDRED eyewitnesses to his resurrection. The resurrection is a credible story that there is no way to dispute it other than denying it without facts to back that thinking or deception to prove otherwise. 

1 - If Christ's followers would have stolen His dead body and hid it, they eventually would have said so after a few were killed for His names sake, one maybe even before ONE person was killed. Who dies for a known lie? Who would be tortured on purpose for a known lie? No One. How many will die for a lie and suffer extreme persecution to themselves and their family? Plus the soldiers who were to watch over the grave with the very large stone rolled and locked into place could have been killed by their own government if they allowed Jesus' followers to steal his body. There just is no reason why Jesus' followers would have wanted to steal His body. So, that could not have happened.

2 - If the ones who hated Jesus and the whole Christian movement (the ones who put Him to death on the cross) had stolen his body, the plan would have been to have revealed it by now for the purpose to put an end to this entire Christianity concept if it were a lie and of no value. That would be the only motive to do that. But that didn't happen either.

3 - The Stories in the Bible were told without changing from generation to generation until it was finally placed on paper. How many stories can be told by masses without ONE thing left out or added and for that many generations and that much time would have resulted in a completely different story. It stayed true! It has not changed!

4 - Not one prophesy in the Old Testament has been false and many have already come to pass exactly has written. This is an improbable, impossible thing for human beings to do. No one can predict the future with this much accuracy. Not one person. If you think so , name one? Just one. If you think you can name one, how many came true vs. how many did not come true? ALL the prophecy of the Bible has been fulfilled with 100% accuracy and there are many more to come. Keep in mind that they will all be fulfilled as it is written. For some this is a scary thought.

5 - Christianity is THE ONLY faith that does NOT depend on what we do, but what someone else did for us. All other religions make it dependant upon what we can try to attain or achieve or be of our own selves. But God knows us better than that. He knows how difficult temptation to sin is. Jesus went though EVERY temptation known to man kind and overcame them all. He is alive today, He is sitting on the right hand of God and we will one day be judged by Him, The Word of God. He is God's spoken Word. The book of John tells us of Jesus' Deity and Lordship from the First line of the book. If you are not sure, you should read that book. It is not very long. Ask God to show Himself to you, He will do it if you really want Him to.

So...

Will you reject what God has done for us? Sending His ONLY begotten Son, Jesus Christ to die in our place, taking on our punishments? The act has already happened. We only need to believe God, acknowledge and accept the Gift God provided to us freely and for all people. It is a FREE GIFT! We only need to believe it.

Jesus Said this in John 6:40 - And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Jesus Said this in John 6:47 - Truly, truly, I say unto you, He that believes on me has everlasting life.

 

Are those hopeful words or not?

 

Will you choose to reject Jesus Christ?  I hope and pray no.

For There is NO GREATER NAME in heaven or in earth than Jesus Christ!

Acts 4:10-12 - Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him does this man stand here before you whole.
[11] This is the stone which was set at nothing of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
[12] Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

For the reason that there is no greater name in heaven or in earth than the name of Jesus Christ, we are commanded to NOT take the name of our Lord in vein. That means flippantly speak His name, using it for profanity of course, even doing things in His name that are not legitimate. Using His name as a get out responsibility clause, speak it for no reason. Any way other than pure reverence is using His name in vein. When the early writers of the Holy Bible wrote the name of Jesus Christ in the Old Testament, they had a special pen that they reserved for use to ONLY write Jesus' name with. How is that for revering God's name? In today's culture, the only time you hear the name of Jesus being used by non-Christians is derogatory. Even some Christians lack this understanding. I do not know how once you get to know Jesus Christ.

     The New Age movement pushed onto us by people like Oprah Winfrey (and what and who she supports) and many others all want to turn around everything that is true into a lie and say that WE are our OWN gods. we are the god of ourselves. This cannot be true past the extent that God the Creator has given us the choice of freewill to do as we please. And since He DID give us this choice, many CHOOSE to do harm or evil against others. So again, you want to know WHY God allows bad things to happen to good people? Because there are BAD people who think that they have no one to answer to except themselves. The concept stems from pure selfishness only. I am not saying that Oprah does not do a lot of good things for a lot of people. She certainly does. But No where in the Bible does it say that we can get to heaven based on our good works. Or that we can OUTWEIGH one sin that we've committed against God or someone else. SO, good works are great and are required (in a way), but they cannot save your soul from the depths of hell. Only Belief in Jesus Christ can do this. Jesus says this Himself. It is He that is the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE and NO MAN comes to the FATHER but by HIM.

Where does it say that God Owns All ?

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 

     First of all, the first page of the Holy Bible in the Old Testament, that God gave to us for understanding, learning and wisdom reveals who made the earth (God), a small amount about how it was made (He spoke it into existence from nothingness, a void of emptiness), what was made, that it was created from nothing and then it was. If one goes on to read the rest of Genesis, it is written that God created all living creatures on the planet (including people) and blessed them, telling them to be fruitful and multiply. Let's say that you created something, anything with your hands for your own personal reasons, whose property would it belong to? I would go out on a limb to say yours. So since God create the earth and all things contained in it, then whose is it really? I'm going to answer, God's. This is simple reasoning, common sense and logic. if I go to the hardware store and buy supplies and build something with my hands with my money and with my resources, who's project is that? It is mine. so how can that be Gods as well? Where did the resources come from?

     There are many other passages in the Bible, new and old testament that give God the credit and blatantly states that God does in fact own everything.

1 Corinthians 10:26 - FOR THE EARTH IS THE LORD'S, AND ALL IT CONTAINS

 

God owns the cattle on a thousand Hills

     Psalm 50:10-15 says this:

[10] For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
[11] I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.
[12] If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fullness thereof.
[13] Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
[14] Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
[15] And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

     Notice the words God tells us in verse 12 where He says that He were hungry, He would not tell us because he owns everything. That is basically telling us that it is all His to pick and choose from first. Personally its difficult to even try to understand our Lord being hungry, and maybe He is not saying that He would ever be hungry. He is just saying that IF He was ever hungry, we don't need to know and God is not reliant upon us to feed Him, all is His to take for His pleasure.

 

The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof

     Psalm 24
[1] The earth is the LORD's, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
[2] For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
[3] Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?
[4] He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
[5] He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
[6] This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.
[7] Lift up your head, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
[8] Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
[9] Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
[10] Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

 

We own our Bodies though, Right?

     What about our bodies? We humans might say, "That's MY body and I can do with it as I see fit". That is certainly a very popularly held belief these days with Roe vs. Wade and many other controversies floating around, being believed, taught and thought to be accurate. God says to His people that we are bought with a price. This price is the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, Jesus being the only begotten Son of the Father. Since we have been bought with a price, what do you call people who are bought and sold? Yep, slaves. We are not our own. We are God's property as well. Jesus paid for with His own blood, literally. Why? because He DOES love you and me and all the things He created.

God says that He is a jealous God. He isn't jealous OF us, He is jealous FOR us. He tells us to not worship any other gods or our selves. He wants us to be HIS and for us to decide to do that on our own. For what good or satisfaction would it be to God or anyone to make a robot that is forced to love and worship Him or if we even did this? How would you REALLY feel towards the robot? Would you love it because it merely says that it loves you because you programmed it to do this? Or would you always know that it is just something that has to be because you caused it?

Present your bodies as a living sacrifice.

What about our minds, thoughts... our souls?

     Well then what about our minds and souls? God says that He is Holy and cannot have a relationship with un-holiness. This is why after Adam and Eve had sinned, they died spiritually and they were forced out of the garden of Eden and into the rest of the world to work for their food, clothes and shelter and then needed to make sin sacrifices to appease Our LORD. Prior to this, (known as the fall of mankind), there was no death. Can you even imagine a world with no death? I am just going by fact that there was no death of man before they ate the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. They were naked and not ashamed. As soon as they ate the fruit, their eyes were opened and they knew they were naked. They also died spiritually and began to die physically. Even if it did take them a very long time considering our life span today.

     It is appointed unto men once to die, and after that the judgment. The Bible speaks of two deaths. The first one is when our bodies die, the second one will only be for those who rejected Jesus Christ's suffering on the cross for our sins and payment for our sinfulness towards God. That is the ONLY unforgivable sin. Our deadline is our physical death. Unless you are in a coma and then who knows what conscience state you're in? Only God. So why take a chance? Humble your heart and be saved right now!

     Jesus says in the new testament, "I am the way the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father but by me". He wants us to believe! There is enough actual evidence that Jesus Christ is who He claims to be and did what was said happened for us to believe and not even question it. It is the devil and his subtlety of half truths and lies that create confusion for many people. Lets look at one example.

     Here's how loving our God is... even though Adam and Eve only had ONE commandment, one rule to live by, only ONE thing period that they were forbidden to do, they did it anyway. So the argument of kids being bad due to their upbringing cannot hold water. God was their Father and He was there upbringing. He taught them whatever questions they had, and which ever ones I'm sure they didn't have but needed to know. They had a relationship with God, probably better than any other humans have since, where there was no fear whatsoever of God until they ate of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. Can you even image that relationship with God? You still can to an extent. But, they messed it up for every one, but it was inevitable due to God's gift of freedom and choice that He gave all of us. One cannot blame God in this, even if he foreknew it. It doesn't matter and does not relieve the accountability that we must have towards ourselves in taking the blame for our actions. Even after the fall of mankind, God STILL had a one on one relationship with His people.

     Even so, God created clothing for them before he sent them on their way. he loved them as a good Father does even after the punishment and gave them clothes! When that hit me one day, I never forgot it and loved God more. I love the old testament. It reveals more about WHO God really is and how He interacts with people, saved and unsaved alike (as much as we can know). The new testament does as well of course but the old testament are actual accounts of people and cities and kings interacting directly with God and with His plans for His created beings. He is in charge, but we do have free will. Free will is a scary thing actually when you think about it.

Gods warning to Cain - Genesis 4:7 says this: If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

That was God telling Cain to not allow sin to rule over him. what happened in the next verse? Cain killed his brother over jealousy.

and again I must repeat about God's mercy. He punished Cain for killing his brother but instead of killing Cain, he even attended to his fear about being killed by others on the earth. So God placed a mark on Cain that told anyone that if they hurt him, they would be cursed. I love the Old Testament books! They reveal all of God's personality, vengeance, wrath, might, power, love, mercy, fairness, justice, on and on. At least all that God will allow us to know about Him in this life time.

God gives all of us this chance. If we are honest with him. God wants an actual relationship with everyone. He created us for His enjoyment and His purposes. So, I conclude that God owns the keys to life and death.

 

 

What about money ?

Did you know that Bible speaks about money more than heaven or salvation?

 

    Malachi 3:8 - Paraphrased Summary of a conversation between God and man:

God: "why have you robbed me"?
Man: "How have we robbed you"? 
God: "In tithes and offerings".

Then in verse 9 God says this to all of us:
[9] Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
[10] Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

            (emphasis mine)

[11] And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.
[12] And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.

     This is the only place in the bible (I think) where God tells us to test or prove Him to see that He will make good on His promise. The wise do TRUST HIM!

What else should we do with our Money?

Luke 6:38 - Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

 

John Chapter 1

[1] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
[2] The same was in the beginning with God.
[3] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
[4] In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
[5] And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
[6] There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
[7] The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
[8] He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
[9] That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
[10] He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
[11] He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
[12] But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
[13] Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
[14] And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
[15] John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
[16] And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.
[17] For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

  • This above chapter reveals that Jesus Christ is the Word of God and that He IS God. There is no doubt according to this book and chapter that this is a true statement. Jesus Christ is Alive!

 

It appears from reading God's word that we are all born with our names written in the Lambs Book of Life. It this were not so it would seem that we could not be blotted out. Since it states that whoever's name is not blotted out from the Lambs Book of Life will have everlasting life, then there had to have been something there to be blotted out in the first place. That's my interpretation.

Yes, We want YOUR SOUL!

 

Heaven is REAL               Yes, Hell is REAL

The Book of Life - is your name written in it? I hope so!

Revelation: 3:5 - He that overcomes, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

Your Time is your life and your life is your time.

God expects us to use our talents, gifts, abilities and skills for His will and His purposes. Not to waste them.

Why do you think that He gave them to us? Why are some people interested in some things while others could care less? We are all different and have different passions, but we should all have passions and it is unfair to ourselves to deny our God given rights to these things that make us who we are inside. What ever you are good at naturally is probably what you should be doing in life. Doesn't that make sense? Why do something that you hate to do? Sure occasionally we all have to do things that we don't particularly like to do to accomplish certain goals (and I'm not talking about ethics or morals here), but working and doing the chore portion of what you do is as rewarding as what you love to do when you see the final results or see a project coming along as planned.

     Think of it this way. What if you were told that you only had a few weeks, months or one year left to live? What would you do differently than you are doing now? Because in reality, we have been given a death sentence from the day we were born. We have been dying all along with only a certain amount of time to fulfill God's purpose in our lives. So what are you going to do with your life?

Hebrews 9:27 - For it is appointed unto men once to die, after that the judgment.

Never take my word or any man's word for what the bible says or what its meanings hold. Read it for yourself so you can believe correctly! Judge everything according to God's Word. This is God's standard for our lives to understand what truth is.

Do Your Part & READ THE HOLY BIBLE!

The bible says that there is NO GREATER NAME in heaven or in earth than the name of Jesus Christ!

Jesus said, "I am the Truth, The Life and The Way, No man comes to The Father but by me".

Did you know... that the our government banned the use of DDT with the lie that it was harmful to humans, water supplies and livestock? The fact is, it was the only true control for the malaria carrying mosquito and now there is NO relief from that mosquito. So the nothing but Net website above gives out nets to those who dwell in areas where malaria is still very real. Tell your congress person to UNban DDT. It is not harmful. The only thing it harms is malaria carrying mosquitoes. DDT is NOT harmful - click to read

Did you know... That there are places in the world that do not have a bible or where owning a bible is illegal? There are many men who crave to know God's word and who have to share portions of the bible. They segment it and share it for weeks at a time and swap bible parts so they can learn about Jesus. Give to this ministries and they will get Bibles to those men who will not waste God's Holy Word. We should be very thankful here in America that we have the right to own a bible, that a bible is placed in every hotel/motel for the meantime and preachers are not thrown in jail for hate crimes for preaching what is found in God's Word. The time is coming where it wont be so. Yes even in America. be thankful now and vigilant to not allow this to happen anytime soon. PLEASE give what you can to spread God's Word around the world. When you give bibles, you are furthering God's kingdom! Give Bibles Here!

God's Holy Word - Bible Resource Sites:

 

I am not a King James Version only person, but I do love to read from the KJV as my primary source and I've been using this site listed below since I discovered the internet in 1997. If you know of a good and reliable reference site, please let me know and I will post it here. Thanks. Also this is worthy of mentioning; believe it or not I've come to learn that Dictionary.com can be an excellent Bible Reference Dictionary tool. I have tried lots of other sites with mainly confusing results, or at least not what I was looking for. It usually has all the correct meanings at the time it was used in the Bible.
