Proverbs 2:5, “…then shall you understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God” There are some that say there is no God because of the evil in the world. That is there is a God why is He so cruel as to allow all the suffering to exist and since there is suffering then God must be uncaring or powerless to do anything about it. I want to address this false teaching in this memo. So why is there suffering and evil in the world? Simply put, God is all powerful, all knowing, and ever present but there is suffering in the world. God can remove all suffering but chooses not to, why? The reason why for Him to remove all suffering He would have to remove our free choice and make us like robots. God created all of His children with free choice because love demands it. In order to love someone you have to willing choose to please or do for them instead of yourself. God wants all of the creation to love Him and choose His ways, but He does not want to make us so He gave every man free choice. Here is an illustration about a college professor that was a devout atheist: A science professor begins his school year with a lecture to the students, "Let me explain the problem science has with religion." The atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of his new students to stand. "You're a Christian, aren't you, son?" "Yes sir," the student says. "So you believe in God?" "Absolutely." "Is God good?" "Sure! God's good." "Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?" "Yes." "Are you good or evil?" "The Bible says I'm evil." The professor grins knowingly. "Aha! The Bible!" He considers for a moment. "Here's one for you. Let's say there's a sick person over here and you can cure him. You can do it. Would you help him? Would you try?" "Yes sir, I would." "So you're good...!" "I wouldn't say that." "But why not say that? You'd help a sick and maimed person if you could. Most of us would if we could. But God doesn't." The student does not answer, so the professor continues. "He doesn't, does he? My brother was a Christian who died of cancer, even though he prayed to Jesus to heal him. How is this Jesus good? Hmmm? Can you answer that one?" The student remains silent. "No, you can't, can you?" the professor says. He takes a sip of water from a glass on his desk to give the student time to relax. "Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?" "Er...yes," the student says. "Is Satan good?" The student doesn't hesitate on this one. "No." "Then where does Satan come from?" The student falters. "From God" "That's right. God made Satan, didn't he? Tell me, son. Is there evil in this world?" "Yes, sir." “Evil's everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything, correct?" "Yes." "So who created evil?" The professor continued, "If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and according to the principle that our works define who we are, then God is evil." Again, the student has no answer. "Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things, do they exist in this world?" The student squirms on his feet. "Yes." "So who created them?" The student does not answer again, so the professor repeats his question. "Who created them?" There is still no answer. Suddenly the lecturer breaks away to pace in front of the classroom. The class is mesmerized. "Tell me," he continues onto another student. "Do you believe in Jesus Christ, son?" The student's voice betrays him and cracks. "Yes, professor, I do." The old man stops pacing. "Science says you have five senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Have you ever seen Jesus?" "No sir. I've never seen Him." "Then tell us if you've ever heard your Jesus?" "No, sir, I have not." "Have you ever felt your Jesus, tasted your Jesus or smelt your Jesus? Have you ever had any sensory perception of Jesus Christ, or God for that matter?" "No, sir, I'm afraid I haven't." "Yet you still believe in him?" "Yes." "According to the rules of empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your God doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?" "Nothing," the student replies. "I only have my faith." "Yes, faith," the professor repeats. "And that is the problem science has with God. There is no evidence, only faith." The student stands quietly for a moment, before asking a question of His own. "Professor, is there such thing as heat?" "Yes," the professor replies. "There's heat." "And is there such a thing as cold?" "Yes, son, there's cold too." "No sir, there isn't." The professor turns to face the student, obviously interested. The room suddenly becomes very quiet. The student begins to explain. "You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat, mega-heat, unlimited heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat, but we don't have anything called 'cold'. We can hit up to 458 degrees below zero, which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold; otherwise we would be able to go colder than the lowest -458 degrees." "Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-458 F) is the total absence of heat. You see, sir, cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat we can measure in thermal units because heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it." Silence across the room. A pen drops somewhere in the classroom, sounding like a hammer. "What about darkness, professor. Is there such a thing as darkness?" "Yes," the professor replies without hesitation. "What is night if it isn't darkness?" "You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is not something; it is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light, but if you have no light constantly you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? That's the meaning we use to define the word." "In reality, darkness isn't. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?" The professor begins to smile at the student in front of him. This will be a good semester. "So what point are you making, young man?" "Yes, professor. My point is, your philosophical premise is flawed to start with, and so your conclusion must also be flawed." The professor's face cannot hide his surprise this time. "Flawed? Can you explain how?" "You are working on the premise of duality," the student explains. "You argue that there is life and then there's death; a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought." "It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life, just the absence of it." "Now tell me, professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?" "If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, young man, yes, of course I do." "Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?" The professor begins to shake his head, still smiling, as he realizes where the argument is going. A very good semester, indeed. Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you now not a scientist, but a preacher?" The class is in uproar. The student remains silent until the commotion has subsided. "To continue the point you were making earlier to the other student, let me give you an example of what I mean." The student looks around the room. "Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the professor's brain?" The class breaks out into laughter. "Is there anyone here who has ever heard the professor's brain, felt the professor's brain, touched or smelt the professor's brain? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, with all due respect, sir." "So if science says you have no brain, how can we trust your lectures, sir?" Now the room is silent. The professor just stares at the student, his face unreadable. Finally, after what seems an eternity, the old man answers. "I guess you'll have to take them on faith." "Now, you accept that there is faith, and, in fact, faith exists with life," the student continues. "Now, sir, is there such a thing as evil?" Now uncertain, the professor responds, "Of course, there is. We see it every day. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil." To this the student replied, "Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light." The professor sat down. Father, we pray the Author of Salvation (Heb 5:8-9), would write us a plan of redemption, reconciliation, and salvation, please help us to love the truth and practice the truth, in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Who does the religious training fall upon in the house, for kids, according to Jesus and His New Agreement called the New Testament of Christ? It is written: Ephesians 6:4 And fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. The command to the Christians in Ephesus, was for the males, dads to bring the children up the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Nurture defined is the training up of a child, the correcting, instructing, in the way of salvation Admonition is defined as a putting in mind, or encouragement from Jesus through the dad's training. As for not provoking unto wrath, I look at it this way, it is supposed to be a blessing to follow God and not an overbearing burden. True instruction, promises a light and easy yoke (Mat 11:28-30), and a man who does not work neither should he eat (2 Thes 3:10). We as dads have to have a balance of instructing and applying God’s word to every situation, that is encountered while raising a Christian. As Jesus said we have to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves, or we have to be prepared with the saving message from Jesus, and patiently wait for the right opportunity to strike with the message of salvation and reconciliation with God. Always, having the way of salvation expressed for his kids to follow and prepare for heaven our goal. We must consider our own selves, for Jesus said, unless you are converted like little children you cannot enter into the kingdom of God (Mat 18:3). We have to remember we too, are just children in dirty diapers calling on God our Father to instruct us, to guide us, to guard us, train us how to be like our Father in Heaven. We must be like daddy can I? Daddy may I? Or look daddy what they did to me? When we keep the proper prospective, of we are God’s child, raising another to become a Christian, then we indeed can see the needs of our children. For we teach what Christ teaches us as His children. Also, if you become a Christian, and are the first Christian in your family consisting of husband, wife, and children; then your children are also sanctified as it is written: 1 Corinthians 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; else your children would be unclean, but now they are holy. God cleans also your children; a man should not have to fight the devil in his own house. We, Christians are called to live in peace with unbelievers but without corrupting the heart of Christ. If you have a marriage between a believer and unbeliever, the Christian cannot endanger their souls for the unbeliever, they cannot pay for their sins, only Jesus can. As a Christian, they can pray and set a godly example, by doing so they will usually convert their spouse, if it be God’s will. So then the man’s duty is to instruct the children on how to behave in Heaven by example, by instruction, by reproof, and by correction, with the main goal of getting them prepared for Heaven not Harvard. Father, we pray you would prepare us for Heaven, and help us to raise our children in the care and encouragement of Christ your only fathered Son, in Jesus of Nazareth's name amen.

Matthew 13:45-46, “again the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls; Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it” Jesus said His kingdom is not of this world. How many of us are worried with the cares of this world and are not focused on the spiritual kingdom that is not physically seen? In this small parable the Lord said the kingdom of Heaven is like a person looking for the best pearls and then finds one that surpasses all others and sells everything he has in order to obtain it. Look at the character of this man: 1. He was a seeker of good pearls. 2. He recognized value in a pearl that was far superior to any other. 3. He sold everything he had in order to lay hold onto the best of pearls. Are we all not seeking the best of things? Are all of us who call ourselves Christians confessing that we are seeking an eternal state? All of us who are following Christ, we are all seeking the eternal nature of existence. Is that not the same as recognizing value as did the merchant? We are all placing value on the eternal nature and promises from Jesus to those that do the Father’s will. Look at what the parable teaches us, that we are to take all that we possess, our talents, our possessions, our desires, our hearts, our minds, our souls and give everything in order to be call least in the kingdom of Heaven. In Rev 21:1-4, we are told that those that overcome this world and the things in it will inherit promises of: a new heaven and earth, of God wiping away all tears from our eyes, of God literally dwelling with us, of no more death, of no more sorrow, of no more crying, of no more pain, and in verse 7, of inheriting all things and having God as our Father and us adopted as His. This is the best of the best, we cannot find any greater promises than these, to have eternal life and with none of the bad. It is worth whatever it costs to become and stay a citizen in the kingdom of Heaven. The rewards are not seen with physical eyes but are seen through the eyes of faith by believing in the promise and the redeeming work of Jesus Christ. Let us lay hold on eternal salvation found in Christ. Father, we pray that we will place the highest value on Your Will and Kingdom instead of the things that draw us away from Your Kingdom of Heaven found through Christ, may it be so in Jesus of Nazareth's name.

Satan, tells the first lie recorded: when he deceives and tempts man and woman in the garden of Eden, on earth. Do you like to hear a lie? I know I don’t because you can never trust them. Satan told the first lie, 1/3 of the angels decided to participate in the lie by following satan. They were cast out of Heaven being punished for participating in the lie. When was the last time you had to choose sides over a lie you heard for the first time? Satan told the first lie, and angels rebelled with him, instead of abiding in the truth. God Almighty, cast them all out of Heaven. Jesus then being the Author of salvation (Heb 5:9), offered up a plan to reconcile the family unit, God the Father of Mercies, said Let us make man in our image. In the beginning, God had already planned for the reconciliation of God and Creation through the Mediator of a New Agreement called the New Testament of Jesus Christ. God, who calls Himself: Jesus of Nazareth (Acts 22:7-8). Jesus being the Author of Salvation, became a man child and was born of a virgin, named Mary. Our Creator supplied the man part of the equation, through a miracle of the Holy Spirit. Mary, the virgin supplied then the rest of the DNA according to the Law of Child bearing, or the human egg. For in the beginning, He made them male and female. Jesus was born under the Law of the knowledge of good and evil taught to us by Jewish nation Israel, the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jesus was born a Jew and never violated the Old Testament Laws and Ordinances. Jesus never violated the intentions of the Law nor the Letter of the Law, but was the perfection of God in Human Form. The very words and intentions of God, made known and walking around in the flesh. Jesus remained perfect and sinless and was a Jew, under the Jewish Law. The Old Testament, or old agreement between God and mankind, made one Holy if obeyed perfectly. Jesus, being the only Fathered of our Creator, was made perfect and did not see corruption, and remained sinless. Jesus was the only flesh, who met the Holy Standard of God’s Perfection. Jesus, being the Author of Salvation remain sinless and offered to lay down His life, as a substitute for our punishment as a sinner, and being scourged and nailed to a cross called a tree, died as a ransom for all who have done a wrong thing or sinned, as the Bible calls it. He was resurrected three days later, then later ascended into Heaven where He reigns. Jesus died to make a way, to never choose to do a wrong thing, or do evil. Jesus makes a way for all the bad things we done to be forgiven and reconciled to our Creator. Jesus died and was raised from the dead three days later, to prove He can offer you eternal life and peace with God. Do you want to go to the good place when you die? It is called Heaven and if you never decide to go to heaven, then how will you make it? Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people, you do not accidently end up in Heaven. Jesus of Nazareth said, Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. Jesus said: satan is the father of lies, therefore he told the first lie. Satan does not abide in truth but relies on his own conclusions, deductions, and imagination. He believes his own lies and has power to deceive others. Jesus, in contrast, Is the Truth and will never lie to you. Jesus said, Joh 8:31-32, Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, if ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; (32) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Do you want to be free from the lies told to you about eternal life after death? Do you want to go to heaven and be saved from evil and torment? Jesus of Nazareth, died on a cross called a tree and was buried dead, and then resurrected on the third day, to prove He has power over life and death and satan. Jesus of Nazareth is the God of gods, and the King of kings, and the Lord of lords. Jesus died for you to show there is nothing a Holy God would not do to reconcile you to Himself, if you abide in the Truth. Wouldn’t life be great if we never heard a lie? Jesus only expects you to walk in truth and spirit, Jesus will never ask you to do a wrong thing, and it is written in Joh 6:35: And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. If you turn from doing wrong things and turn to Jesus, then He will show you how to be right with your neighbors and with your Creator. Have you ever asked the author of Salvation to write you a plan of redemption, reconciliation, and salvation? Yes or No? Do you know you have a plan and purpose? Do you believe in Jesus of Nazareth? Yes or No. Jesus of Nazareth will never ask you to do a wrong thing and made a way so you can practice the truth and be right with God and your fellow man. Jesus says, whoever hungers and thirst after being right, will be filled. If you want to know how to live your life, right then Jesus of Nazareth will lead you in the truth and the truth will set you free from the ignorance and lies found in the world. Will you read the New Testament of Jesus Christ? Jesus said, as it is written in Mat 11:28-30, Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (29) Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. (30) For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Do you want a light and easy yoke and rest for your soul? Will you agree to learn about Jesus and take His yoke? So, you can find rest for your soul? Yes or No. Jesus of Nazareth said, He that believes and is baptized will be saved but he that does not believe (he died so we do not have to choose evil or do a wrong thing), will be damned. Mark 16:16 Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Will you be baptized into Christ? Yes or No? Do you still believe in your baptism? Yes or no. Please confirm these truths with Jesus of Nazareth and leave any comments or questions below: Father please remove anything hindering us from obeying the truth so we can learn to be right with you and others, please meet our soul’s deepest needs, in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Do you remember when you first heard a lie? I do, it was Santa Claus. I overheard my older brother talking about how fake Santa Claus was, and for the first time in my life, I realized I believed a lie. I realized my mom, dad, grandmother, the news man on TV, everyone lied to me. I never got into trouble again after that because I learned to lie. I did not know there was a God until I was 20 years old. Somewhere in my maturing teenaged years, I learned to tell the truth and you would not have to remember the “cool story” you told. So as it is written, my own sin corrected me. I learned to tell the truth because I did not like to be seen as a liar, although back then I lied regularly. I named my truck ALIBIS. However, until I believed a lie, I would have walked on water if Dad had said it was possible, after that I never believed an anything else, because none was trustworthy. Jesus of Nazareth said, Satan is a Liar and the Father of it. Meaning Satan was the first liar that lied. Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the Truth, the Life and the Way, No one can come to the Father except through Him. Jesus said if you hunger and thirst after being right with God, then He will fill your ways. If you hungry ask Jesus how to feed your family, and He will show you how, but you have to want to follow and love the truth. Jesus said whoever believes in Him will not hunger or thirst. Jesus is the way you need; Jesus is the satisfaction and peace you cannot find. For I believe like Augustine, the heart is restless until our hearts rest in Jesus. How do you beat the devil? You got not want what he offers you. All he is selling is a lie, that his ways are better and easier. It is written, resist the devil and he will flee. You got make Jesus your only source, and not want the devil’s offer. This is how you resist the devil, just be like, Jesus I only want to sit and eat at your table and none other. Many have fallen reaching for forbidden fruit and have created themselves many jams. Have you heard the story of how to catch a monkey? The hunter takes a hollowed-out tree and drill holes barely big enough for the monkey to slide his hand in. The hunter fills the hollow tree with fruit, then the monkey squeezes his hand through grabs the fruit and is caught because the fruit and his hand like a fist holding are too big to slide back out of the tree. The monkey can only free himself if he lets go of the fruit inside the tree, but he will not. Then the hunter comes up and takes him captive. This is how the devil works, he offers forbidden fruit telling you the lie it is better than Jesus provides, then when you grab it, you are lost cut off from God and the only way back is to let go of the lie you bought and surrender it to Jesus for cleansing. It is written if we confess our sins he just and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from the unrighteousness associated with it. Will you forsake evil or wrong ways and turn to Jesus asking Him for the Truth you need to live your life by? Or are you bound by the decision to eat forbidden fruit? Jesus died and the cross and was raise from the dead so you would not have to choose to do a wrong thing, and Jesus made a way for all the wrong things we done to be forgiven. All you have to do is love and follow the truth. Jesus said, I am the way, the life and the truth no man comes to the Father except through me. Will you ask Jesus to show you how to live your life right with God and others? Jesus said except we become converted like little children we cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven. We are like children in diapers before a Holy God, and we must come to Daddy Jesus and say dad can I, dad may I, dad will you, dad is that true, dad look what they did to me, etc. Dad teach me how to clothe and feed myself and my family… Jesus said if you seek first the kingdom of heaven all of these things shall be added unto you. Jesus does not promise a mansion in malibu but does promise to our enough. Jesus said, Mat 11:28-30 Come to Me all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (29) Take My yoke on you and learn of Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you shall find rest to your souls. (30) For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light. Do you want a light and easy yoke, Jesus said if you take His yoke and learn about Him you will find rest for your souls? You want a light and easy yoke? Yes or no? If we never heard a lie, then we would only know good and never would have choose between a lie and the truth. Satan is a liar that destroys, Jesus is the truth that heals. Heaven will be a place where no lie exists. It will be a place of only good because no liar will enter into the kingdom of Heaven. Listen: Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and the unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, will have their part in the Lake burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. God will punish these and they will not be in Heaven. Is that not good news, Jesus made a way for you never to do evil or a wrong thing, and destroyed the devils works, by making a way to be forgiven of our bad things or sin. Jesus is knocking on the door of your heart today, listen Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come into him and will dine with him and he with Me. Jesus said Mar 16:15-16 And He said to them, Go into all the world, proclaim the gospel to all the creation. (16) He who believes and is baptized will be saved, but he who does not believe will be condemned. Have you been baptized into Christ’s death burial and resurrection? Yes or no? Do you still believe in your baptism? Yes or no? Do you want to go to Heaven? Yes or no? Father, we renounce Satan and all of his lies we have bought or believed, we surrender all and ask you would cleanse and sanctify us, please cleanse us from all the lies of satan and his minister and help us discern good over evil, truth over lies in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

1. Rom 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus. For those who remain faithful to their baptism into Christ, we face no condemnation. We are not condemned: for Christ has saved us and put our sins in remission through the death burial and resurrection by having crucified ourselves with Christ in the watery grave of baptism. Remember Romans was written to the Saints in Rome (already baptized) and he reminds them in chapter 6 they were baptized into Christ. How great it is to know by abiding faithful, we are not condemned and if we die Heaven is our Home and reward. 2. Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death. Without the Holy Spirit, our knowledge of good and evil comes from the Law of Good and Evil, but after baptism, we just walk in Spirit and Truth, loving God first and our neighbor as ourself second. We know what to do, as in Jesus said if you continue in my word, you are my disciples indeed and you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. We can simply live by one rule love your neighbor as yourself and remember God is your neighbor. If you treat everyone like they are Jesus then you cannot go wrong! 3. Rom 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwelleth in you. The Holy Spirit gives the things needed to sustain life, as in our physical life, fulfilling it is written in 2Pe 1:3 seeing that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue; Jesus died to probe there is nothing that God will not do for you if you just choose not to do wrong or evil and choose to follow the truth in doing right by God and your fellow man. He is willing and able to perform His word and is wanting to bless you. Jesus said whoever believes in Him will not hunger or thirst, Jesus said whoever hungers and thirst after being right with God will be filled. Jesus says, if seek first the kingdom of God all these things shall be added unto you. 4. Rom 8:26 And in like manner the Spirit also helps our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered; Rom 8:27 and he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. Rom 8:28 And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to his purpose. We have a promise that Jesus will supply everything we need for our physical life and to be godly (2 Pet 1:3). We have a promise when trials and temptations come upon us, we will have a way of salvation (escape) provided, and we will not be tested above our what we can handle (1 Cor 10:13). This promise is God the Holy Spirit praying for us with words that cannot be uttered. He reads our hearts and minds and intercedes so we will stay faithful and, in the salvation, and will of God. If you get baptized into Christ then you too could have the Holy Spirit as a silent prayer partner the rest of your life. 5. Rom 8:34-39 who is he that condemns? It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. (35) Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? (36) Even as it is written, for thy sake we are killed all the day long; We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter. (37) Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. (38) For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, (39) nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. The Next time the Devil is accusing you, just say Jesus dropped the charges you can take that up with Him! There is no condemnation in Christ. Nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ. We are more than conquerors in Christ conquering the world one soul at a time with the good news of Jesus dying so they will never have to choose to do a wrong thing again. Nothing formed or created can separate us from the Love of Christ Jesus the God of gods and the King of kings and the Lord of lords. These are five benefits to those that are baptized into Christ and have become citizens in the kingdom of Heaven. Jesus of Nazareth became a human being born of a virgin named Mary. Mary provided the egg or the female side of the DNA, and the Creator, supplied the Male side of the DNA, and Jesus was born the only Fathered of our Creator. Jesus grew up under the knowledge of good and evil taught to us by the Jewish nation, the sons and daughters of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The knowledge of good and evil was revealed through the nation Israel, Jesus born a Jew lived under the Old Covenant and never violated the intentions of the Law given to know how to be Holy like God, or How to eschew evil and turn to good. How to renounce the knowledge of evil and practice the knowledge of good. Jesus was the words and intentions of God walking around in human flesh. Jesus died on the cross called a tree as a forever atoning sacrifice for all those that obey Him and His teachings. Jesus was raised from the dead to show He has power of life and death. Jesus will never ask you to do a wrong thing and Jesus proved a way for all the wrong things to be confessed and forsaken. Jesus died to show you there is nothing God will not do to reconcile you to Him if you will only practice the truth in righteousness. Jesus said, as it is written Joh 3:5-6 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. (6) That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Jesus also said this, as it is written Mar 16:15-16 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. (16) He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieves shall be condemned. Will you be born of the water and the Spirit by being baptized? Yes or no? If you have been baptized, then do you still believe in your baptism into the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ? Yes or no? Do you want to go to Heaven? Yes or no? Please Confirm these Truths with Jesus of Nazareth, and please comment and share:

Look at Jesus of Nazareth’s response to people saying your mom and brothers are looking to talk to you…. Mat 12:46-50 While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, seeking to speak to him. (47) And one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, seeking to speak to thee. (48) 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 towards his disciples, and said, Behold, my mother and my brethren! (50) For whosoever shall do the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother. Jesus answered and said, WHOSOEVER will do the will of my Father in Heaven, he is my brother and sister and mother. Jesus of Nazareth said, The Kingdom of God does not come from Observation. Luk 17:20-37 And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God cometh, he answered them and said, the kingdom of God cometh not with observation: (21) neither shall they say, lo, here! or, there! for lo, the kingdom of God is within you. (22) And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it. (23) And they shall say to you, Lo, there! Lo, here! go not away, nor follow after them: (24) for as the lightning, when it lightens out of the one part under the heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so, shall the Son of man be in his day. (25) But first must he suffer many things and be rejected of this generation. (26) And as it came to pass in the days of Noah, even so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. (27) They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. (28) Likewise even as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; (29) but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all: (30) after the same manner shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed. (31) In that day, he that shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and let him that is in the field likewise not return back. (32) Remember Lot's wife. (33) Whosoever shall seek to gain his life shall lose it: but whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. (34) I say unto you, In that night there shall be two men on one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. (35) There shall be two women grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. (36) There shall be two men in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. (37) And they answering say unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Where the body is, thither will the eagles also be gathered together. Here in this passage, Jesus foretells the destruction of Jerusalem, and when Titus the roman general invaded and conquered in 70 A.D., those that were still there in Jerusalem were done this way, some were killed some were spared. Jesus was saying for the End to Come certain things have to happen for the Faithful Few and the ushering in a Kingdom of God, or Heaven our final goal, to occur. It is written Rev 21:8 But for the fearful (Cowards), and unbelieving (faithless), and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part shall be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. Jesus warns the Pharisees or Jews, when you see these things flee, if you try to save your life then you will lose it. If you flee and forsake your will, then you will live. Jesus tells them to run when they see these things happening, because there is no rhyme or reason as to who survives the coming onslaught. Jesus taught His followers that faith does not eliminate problem but gives what is needed to overcome our trials and temptation. Faith supplies the ability to overcome. Jesus said, nothing is impossible with God, however, Jesus never said following Him would be safe and free of problems, just worth it. Jesus never said there would not be a storm of life, in fact Jesus said there would be storms that come upon every man listen to this: Mat 7:24-27 Everyone therefore that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man, who built his house upon the rock: (25) and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon the rock. (26) And everyone that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand: (27) and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof. Jesus never promised a safe passage only a safe landing. In this passage, Jesus again says those that survive DO, those that watch or observe, and not do, fall because they do not what Jesus said. Those that love Jesus DO what He said DO on the matter. Have you asked the Great Physician, Jesus of Nazareth to Author you a plan of salvation, redemption, and reconciliation that results in eternal life in Heaven? Yes, or no? Jesus of Nazareth was the only Human to be Fathered by our Creator, or the Father of All, Heb 5:8-9 though he was a Son yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered; (9) and having been made perfect, he became unto all of them that obey him the author of eternal salvation. Jesus is the Author of Salvation to all those that obey Him, or DO more than observe and watch, these DO what Jesus would DO. Jesus said: Joh 3:3-5 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (4) Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born? (5) Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Jesus said, Mar 16:15-16 And he said unto them, go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. (16) He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieves shall be condemned. Jesus of Nazareth died so you would never have to choose a wrong thing and made a way for the wrong things we done to be forgiven, Jesus will never ask you to do a wrong thing. Will you surrender all to Jesus of Nazareth in surrendering obedience to His Will, and turn your heart, mind, spirit, and direction away from evil, in what is called repentance? Yes, or no? Hear then these words which are able to save your soul and give you eternal life: Act 2:38-39 And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. (39) For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him. Notice the promise is for any who our God will call. Meaning if you obey the same message of salvation then you will receive the same promise. When cancer goes into remission, although present it is harmless, when baptized into Christ our fleshly nature is no longer a problem. Will you be baptized into Christ? Yes, or no? Please Confirm these truths with Jesus of Nazareth, and leave any comments and observations below:

Many people try and invite and get unbelievers into a church building. Jesus said, His mission was to call sinners to repentance, and He said unless you repent (change your heart, mind, and direction) you will perish (Luke 13:5). Many believe they can live however they want and still be forgiven; they exhaust the grace and mercy of God in their lives by running with devils then calling on His name. You cannot sit at the table of devils and the table of Jesus. Jesus expects, for all to forsake anything that is not from Him. Jesus said I am the life the way and the truth. Jesus died so that you would never have to choose a wrong thing, and made a way for all the wrong things done to be reconciled. Jesus said this about worshipping God: Jesus of Nazareth the Christ said: Mat 5:21-26 Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: (22) but I say unto you, that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council; and whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of the hell of fire. (23) If therefore thou art offering thy gift at the altar, and there remembers that thy brother hath aught against thee, (24) leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. Jesus said if you have ill spoken of a brother or done a brother wrong in other words, then go and make things right so you can worship God with an upright heart or clean hands. How many in the congregations, need to shake hands with each other while assembled! Much less, those we have wrong through our short comings and rebellion outside the walls of the church of Christ. How important it is to love our neighbors as ourselves, and yet the simplicity of Christ in simple obedience is the wisdom that saves one from a fiery Hell of eternal destruction and misery. Can you look every man in the eye and know there is no quarrel or wrong doing between you, have you been honest? Yes or No? If the one you done wrong is your enemy, then what do you do Jesus? Jesus said: (25) Agree with thine adversary quickly, while thou art with him in the way; lest haply the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. (26) Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the last farthing. If you cheated your enemy out of some money, then you must come to terms to make peace and reconcile the wrong done. You are the Christian that sinned not the done wrong (unbeliever), so it is up to You to take action and reconcile any differences or your enemy will accuse you and prove you wrong for what you have done and you face the legal system or the judge. So better to come to terms of peace when an offense has taken place rather than sitting on your hands doing nothing, go reconcile and apologize, try to achieve forgiveness and if not achieve peace. Have you any amends to make? Any apologies that need to be made? Any truth needs to shed on a division or quarrel? Let us remember that God forgives the ugly in anyone who turns from their wrong ways, and if christ forgives the worse in me, who am I to not forgive the worse someone else? Jesus said unless we forgive, we cannot be forgiven. Some people you got to forgive just because they exist! Let us forgive in a spirit of mercy and reconciliation looking for the perfect moment to confess and make amends with those we remember we done wrong. When you seek forgiveness and reconciliation do it wisely, look for the right time and opportunity to achieve forgiveness and try to restore the dignity of those you sinned against, they are the better man forgiving you. Father, please remove anything that is hindering us from being reconciled with you and all others, please give us the courage and right opportunity to seek reconciliation and forgiveness, we forgive all those that have done us wrong, so we too can be forgiven, please accept our worship so we may we worship in spirit and truth, In Jesus of Nazareth name, Amen.

Matthew 13:31-32 ASV Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: [32] which indeed is less than all seeds; but when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the heaven come and lodge in the branches thereof. Jesus teaches the least of the seeds can become a tree for shelter if you are a citizen in the kingdom of Heaven: The kingdom of heaven, as Heaven, as in the citizens of the kingdom of heaven, we are mustard seeds. When we first began to be planted through the waters of baptism having been born of the water and Spirit, we began as children in diapers not knowing how to clean ourselves or feed ourselves, but called on our Daddy, to teach us correct us and instruct us. We continue to grow naturally planted with Christ into a mature man, that is able to shelter those who stand under the shield of a mature faith. Let us think back to being baptized where we were planted in the death burial and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth the Christ. We received all the promise of the Holy Spirit then, we need nothing external. The Holy Spirit is the Agent that keeps our sins in remission, His mission is to pray us through the evil trial and temptations that come upon everyman, He is our silent prayer partner, always praying that we stay faithful and in the will of God (Rom 8:26). He is fulfilling the promise in 1 Cor 10:13, that no matter the trial or temptation that comes upon every man, when you are faced with these trials and temptations, He makes a Way for you be able to endure it and for it not to be more than you can handle. In other words, no matter the trial and temptation the Holy Spirit of promise is praying you out of Hell and into Heaven always. Jesus said we will know the truth not have a daily conversation with Him. We just know what to do and we do it, we of course check our ideas with the word of God for application of the Holy Knowledge of what to do in our circumstances, and in all cases surrender all to Jesus of Nazareth for His will to done not ourselves. When you do not know the truth, but your salvation depends on the truth ask Jesus of Nazareth, He will confirm which is the way of salvation and you will know the truth and the way and be living the life pleasing to God. John 8:31-32 ASV Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples; [32] and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Will you continue in Jesus words? Yes or No? Jesus said, John 12:47-48 ASV And if any man hear my sayings, and keep them not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. [48] He that rejects me, and receives not my sayings, hath one that judges him: the word that I spoke, the same shall judge him in the last day. If you do believe Jesus died so you will never have to choose evil or wrong again, then you will keep His word which instructs of the truth that saves our souls? Yes or no? If you choose to reject Jesus then He allows you to be free to make all the wrong choices you want, but the word that taught you the truth will be your judge, as to either you obeyed it or rebelled against it. Jesus said He will give you a light and easy yoke if you will learn of Him, Listen: Matthew 11:28-30 ASV Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Will you agree to read the New Agreement between God and mankind that works reconciliation, This New Agreement between our Creator and mankind is called the New Testament (Agreement, Covenant) of Jesus Christ? Yes or no?

1Co 16:13-14, “Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. (14) Let all your things be done with charity.” In this passage, Paul tells them quit being you and be like men. He is telling the guys to man up and act like a man. What then is a man in God’s eyes? Manhood has been under attack, there are many that do not know how to set a manly example. There are some paying mad doctors to hack up their bodies, and then say accept my expensive costume. They are mental, they are coveting after what even nature defines as wrong. They want what is contrary to the natural man, they have forgotten or perhaps never knew it is wrong to covet after what God has not given you. Covet means to fix the desire on, as I desire what God has not given me. These men want to act like girls. We are told in 1 Cor 6:9 that the effeminate will not inherit the kingdom of God and the word effeminate means soft to the touch as in sissies or men acting like girls. In 1 Tim 1:10, we are told the homosexuals will not enter into the kingdom of God. In these three passages, men are encouraged to man up and be a man, to watch (to take care of things), stand fast in the faith, and let all things be done out of love. Holy Father help us to be men’s men doing your will and fulfill our plan and purpose in your kingdom, we renounce satan, sin, and anything else you do not approve of, please cleanse us and make us pure, in Jesus of Nazareth name may it be so. As always, ask Jesus of Nazareth to confirm this truth to you. If you have any questions or comments then please direct to my website: https://www.AnOpenBibleStudy.com 1Co 6:9-11 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, (10) Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (11) And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Christ Penetrating (Illustration source unknown) Matthew 23:27 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. In the movie Godfather III, Mafia chief Michael Corleone meets with Cardinal Lamberto, reporting to the Cardinal that executives from the Vatican bank and even an Archbishop, have been involved in a massive case of fraud. After hearing this news Cardinal Lamberto moves to a water fountain, withdraws a stone and says: "Look at this stone. It has been lying in the water for a very long time, but the water has not penetrated it." He breaks the stone in two, shows the inside to Don Michael and continues, "Look. Perfectly dry. The same thing has happened to men in Europe. For centuries they have been surrounded by Christianity, but Christ has not penetrated. Christ doesn't breathe within them." Just a scene from a movie? Unfortunately, we have all seen those who are seeped in Christianity yet, like the rock, are still "dry" on the inside. It's not enough to talk like a Christian, to go to church, to do good things. We must be soaked on the inside with Christ, with Jesus breathing within us. So, are your insides wet or dry? Jesus said, except a man is born of the water and the Spirit he cannot enter in to the kingdom of God or Heaven, Jesus also said, he that believes and is baptized will be saved but he that does not believe will be damned. Jesus said if you take His yoke upon and learn about Him, for He is meek and lowly in heart and you will finds rest for your souls. Do you want rest for your soul? Yes or No? Will you be baptized for the remission of sins? Yes or No? Please confirm any of these truths with Jesus of Nazareth and direct any comment or questions below:

Jesus of Nazareth said that anyone that hungers and thirsts after righteousness will be filled. This is a promise of Jesus! Jesus always fulfills His words; Jesus is not slack to perform and kept His promises to all those that hunger and thirst after doing or being right with their Creator. You need to know how to feed yourself the right way, earn a living the right way, or how to be forgiven: Jesus will fill your way. When is the last time you wanted to be right with God? Do you want to go to Heaven? You will never get to live in Heaven unless you decide to go. Heaven is a prepared place for prepared people. I hope we all know what is between us and our Creator so we can be reconciled through the work of Jesus. Rev 18:4-5 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come forth, my people, out of her, that ye have no fellowship with her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues: (5) for her sins have reached even unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. These are the instructions to those that were in Babylon, God says to come out of her and have no fellowship with her sins. Or You will receive her plagues. Jesus says to hunger and thirst after righteousness, we have to let go of anything from our past, we have to submit and surrender all we have and have done to Jesus of Nazareth in a changing of mind, heart, and direction. Jesus is merciful, and will instruct and correct those with upright heart who want to be righteous in His eyes. So let go and let God instruct you so you can be right with Him. 2Co 6:14-18 Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? or what communion hath light with darkness? (15) And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what portion hath a believer with an unbeliever? (16) And what agreement hath a temple of God with idols? for we are a temple of the living God; even as God said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. (17) Wherefore Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you, (18) And will be to you a Father, and ye shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. You cannot sit at the table of devils and the table of Jesus. You cannot be a partaker of Babylon and not receive the plagues caused by her sin. Jesus is light and these devils are darkness, they reject the will of God and thus create evil. After all, is that not what evil is, rejection of God? Darkness is the absence of light, and evil is the absence of God. Jesus said He would fill our ways if we hunger and thirst after righteousness, so let us seek Jesus and hunger and thirst after being right with God. Mat 6:9-15 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. (10) Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth. (11) Give us this day our daily bread. (12) And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. (13) And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. (14) For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. (15) But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
