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.

Are you an overcomer…or will you be rejected…

Are you an overcomer…or will you be rejected…


Rev 21:6-8 KJV  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...


  1. Fearful…cowardly…timid…scared of what will happen if they practice Jesus… Are you too shy to practice Jesus’ Truth…yes or no?

  2. Unbelieving…infidel…one who lives as if there is no God regardless of the knowledge, they possess… Do you live as if Jesus did not die and was raised? Yes or no?

  3. Abominable…a stench…a rendering fowl…to abhor that which is done…something opposing to the will of God…to hate the behavior of a person…disgusting to God…Are you disgusting to God? Yes or no? Would you do it in front of His Throne?

  4. Murderers…the act of making someone dead…hatred is the emotion of not wanting someone to exist…murder is the act of making someone not exist…it is the deed…Are you filled with hatred and wanting people not to exist? Yes or no…then do not do the deed!

  5. Whoremongers…a person who has sex outside of marriage…described as illicit sexual intercourse between people not married…Are you a whore? Yes or no…always wanting more? Do you use whores to satisfy your flesh? Yes or no?

  6. Sorcerers…one who is devoted to magical arts…uses potions…spells…enchantments…and drugs…one who uses magic…Do you use magic? Yes or no?

  7. Idolators…a turning away from God…openly…secretly…consciencely…or unconsciously. Do you run to God with your problems…or do you go to someone else? Yes or no?

  8. Liars…those who practice false…lying…false…Have you told the truth for a day? Yes or no?

 

If you answered yes to any of these questions…then you will be burning in the lake of fire…if you do not change your behavior…then you will burn in the lake of fire which is he second death…Jesus Christ died on the cross and was raised from the dead…in order so…you could never practice or do anything that will send you to the lake of fire…He will forgive you…as you forsake and confess your deeds…He will reveal the Truth so you can reconcile with God…do you want to be reconciled to God? Yes or no?

 

Rom 12:1-2 KJV  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.  2  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God…Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.  16  For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.  17  And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abides forever. 1Jn 2:15-17 KJV…Jas 1:12-16 KJV  Blessed is the man that endures temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love Him.  13  Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempts He any man:  14  But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.  15  Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.  16  Do not err, my beloved brethren.

 

Father please help us not to be anything you do not want…please create in us a heart and mind and soul and spirit and strength which loves and obeys You and Your Holy Son Jesus…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
