The world is a better place with you in it…

The world is a better place with you in it…

Mat 5:13-16 KJV  Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.  14  Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.  15  Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.  16  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

1Ti 6:6-11 KJV  But godliness with contentment is great gain.  7  For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.  8  And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.  9  But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.  10  For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.  11  But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness (obedience).

Have you ever helped the needy…ever feed the hungry…ever gave clothes to someone else who needed them…ever give a drink of water to the thirsty…ever take in a stranger…ever pray for someone sick…visited those in prison…is the world a better place because you are in it and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ? Yes or no…

Mat 25:33-40 KJV  And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.  34  Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:  35  For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:  36  Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.  37  Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?  38  When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?  39  Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?  40  And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me…

Mar 12:29-31 KJV  And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:  30  And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.  31  And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these…

The world is a better place with you in it…go be the salt that preserves the world by the saving influence of Jesus…go be the light shining in your neighborhood treating other like yourself…you are a blessing…Jesus said it is more blessed to give than to receive…show mercy…offer forgiveness…do right…it is always right to do right and it is always wrong to do wrong…

Mat 12:48-50 KJV  But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?  49  And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!  50  For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

Father please purify us and remove the seeds of the world so we can be true light and salt for You and Your Only Fathered Son Jesus…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Chicken or the Egg Science Verses Religious Answer...

Chicken or the Egg Science Verses Religious Answer...

Science says…

Which came first the chicken or the egg…How can you have an egg without a Chicken…a pregnant chicken produces an egg which hatches another chicken. Eggs which hatch into chickens are created from a male and female chicken…therefore an egg comes from a pregnant chicken…a female chicken…who has mated with a male chicken…thus producing the egg. Science has described the natural laws.

God says…

In the beginning when there was nothing…I created all the Universe and the life in it…because I am…

So God created all trees, birds, fish, whales,…etc. first by a miracle then set up a natural way for them to reproduce after their kind. He as it is written put the seed in itself with trees…so the first tree had a seed to reproduce another tree…God setup natural laws to sustain the life on earth He created first by a miracle and then allowed a natural law system for life on earth to continue and flourish.

To answer the question which came first the chicken or the egg…religiously…one would still say the Chicken because God had to create the first chicken…if there was truly nothing in the beginning…nothing meaning the absence of anything…then no chicken could have ever existed…something does not come from nothing…a chicken does not come from the absence of everything…if there was nothing then only nothing or the absence of existing would be…there is a Chicken…there is a natural order or nature law of reproduction…there are chicken eggs which hatch chickens…therefore I believe something created the first two chickens male and female…so that the egg which exists can be explained as to why a male and female chicken produce an egg hatching into their own kind.

As it is written…

Gen 1:1-5 KJV  In the beginning God (Self Existing Force of Creation) created the heaven and the earth.  2  And the earth was without form (nothing), and void (empty space); and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.  3  And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.  4  And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.  5  And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Gen 1:20-23 KJV  And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.  21  And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.  22  And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.  23  And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

God also created mankind…by making them male and female…

Gen 1:26-28 KJV  And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.  27  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.  28  And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.

The Great I Am…God who is Self-Existing…Creator of All…Father of All please Father we are but children in diapers trying to learn our plan and purpose in life…please reveal the truth to us so we can fulfill our plan and purpose right…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

You ever heard a preacher say miracles do not happen today?...why...

You ever heard a preacher say miracles do not happen today?

Many of these also espouse the doctrine Jesus never drank real alcoholic wine…they use the passage of 1 Cor 13…to justify their position there are no miracles today…many will say we pray for you…but they are no such thing as spiritual gifts anymore…

The passage some preachers use is…when that which is perfect…is here then spiritual gifts cease…

1Co 13:8-13 KJV  Charity never fails: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.  9  For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.  10  But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.  11  When I was a child, I Spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.  12  For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.  13  And now abides faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity…

They say see when that which is perfect is here…the bible is perfect…scripture is perfect…so when the finished revelation of the pattern was revealed…no more spiritual gifts because we have the complete record of the New Agreement between God and creation…1 Cor 13:10…saying scripture is the thing which is perfect…but scripture has always been around…in 1 Cor 13:10…the Holy Spirit means the New Heavens and the New Earth…not finished scripture already written…by the way when did it end…if that which is perfect is scripture then it would have to be when John penned Revelation…assuming you hold to when prophecy has ended…yet the Two faithful witnesses are prophets in the end…therefore I conclude that which is perfect…is the New Heavens and the New Earth…Isaiah spoke of first…Peter spoke of…and John in the Revelation spoke of…the New Heavens and the New Earth…

Isa 65:17-18 KJV  For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.  18  But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.

2Pe 3:9-13 KJV  The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.  10  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.  11  Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,  12  Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?  13  Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Rev 21:1-8 KJV  And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.  2  And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.  3  And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.  4  And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.  5  And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.  6  And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.  7  He that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.  8  But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

In these three prophets’ writings…they each spoke of New Heavens and a New Earth…John was the last of them…Peter and Isaiah all spoke of the New Heavens and the New Earth that will have no unrighteousness…or is perfect…I conclude…that which is perfect is the New Heavens and the New Earth…please respond with any questions…comments…

Father please confirm this truth to us and please meet our soul’s deepest needs and our spirit’s deepest needs and our flesh’s deepest needs…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
