God’s sovereignty and free will…

God’s sovereignty; free will; sin and law…a rebuttal…

Not keeping the Law has nothing to do with free will but the curse on Adam’s genome that no human being other than God in flesh, Jesus Christ, could avoid and did so through the virgin birth (Romans 5:12). God’s sovereign will; therefore, God’s “choice” is that all men be saved and come to a knowledge of the Truth in Jesus Christ via the Gospel (1 Timothy 2:4; John 3:16) and God says that the lifting-up of Jesus at Golgotha will draw “all men” to Jesus (John 12:32) but Jesus tells us that only a “few” will choose to honor His sacrifice for them while “many” will “choose” to reject Him and die in Hell; this, by free will choice (Matthew 7:13-14).

Mankind’s free will choices and Elohim’s eschatological will for Time and eternity…one example of free will provided humanity on Day-6…

As I discussed with you earlier, Yahweh “chose” Israel’s children to be His, to be Holy as He his Holy and subsequently sanctified, set them apart, specifically for His eschatological purposes but Israel’s children “chose” to break Yahweh’s covenants (Deuteronomy 28) and Israel’s children broke Yahweh’s Commandments and chose to deny their eschatologically ordained mission to proselytize the entire Earth with the Gospel as per the Great Commission (Matthew 28) and thereby fulfill Yahweh’s promise to Abraham (Genesis 12:3b) but Israel would not and they rejected Messiah Yeshua and murdered Him upon a tree and demanded that Yeshua’s blood be upon them and their children (Matthew 27:27); therefore, though Yahweh desired that the “apple of His eye” (Israel) (Zechariah 2:8) be His representatives to the World and that Israel’s children follow the teaching of Messiah Yeshua who came to them specifically (Matthew 15:24)…Israel “chose” to dishonor Yahweh and the Son, Jesus Christ, and were subsequently cursed (Romans 11:25) and as a result of Israel’s “free will” choice to reject Messiah’s grace through faith and stubbornly pursue self-righteousness through Law (Romans 10), only a “remnant” of Israel’s children will escape the “second death” in Hell (Isaiah 10:22; Romans 9:27)…herein lies your example of man’s free will choices superseding the eschatological will of the Father; this, because free will is absolutely essential if love and intimacy with authenticity are to exist in Time and in Eternity.

Void volition, free will, relationship is nothing but nihilistic robotics and impotent, unfulfilling. God so loved that HE GAVE (John 3:16), why…because God desires victory over the Devil and God desires intimacy with His created beings and void free will, intimacy is NOT POSSIBLE!

Finally, to make a point, though Israel’s children rejected the Father’s eschatological will concerning the twelve-tribes via Messiah Yeshua and the Gospel, the Father’s will concerning the Gospel and His promise to Abraham was not stymied by Israel’s disobedience but the Father simply pivoted and gave the Gospel to the Gentile Nations who are taking that message and covenant of grace to the uttermost parts of the Earth (Acts 13:46); this, while Israel’s children overwhelming remain in spiritual defiance of Yahweh’s will and His Messiah.

Alternatives to Prisons? Democrat Virtue Signaling and death to American Society…

Alternatives to Prisons?

The narcissistic thugs in our communities have no “right” to abuse the “rights” of others…simply because your parents and your education, or the lack thereof, has failed you, this societal deficit provides you no “right” to abuse the citizenry…

A response to those who are advocating for alternative forms of deterrence to criminal behavior than the current prison system which some in our society “feel” is too expensive and unnecessary in a majority of criminal prosecutions…

I policed this morally sick society for 31-years in uniform and in the 90’s the three-strike rule was in effect and during that tenure of sanity I was actually bored at times while on patrol as those criminals who regularly offended were incarcerated and the recidivist was incarcerated for life in serious circumstances. I can testify that incarceration works and the assurance of punishment for the criminal element is a very effective deterrent to re-offending and makes for a safer and happier America.

During those years or relative sanity on the streets of Houston, I participated in a State prison ministry and the young men I conversed with were serving some serious time for weapons offenses, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, drug offenses and the like…I am a staunch advocate of incarcerating the recidivist for their full sentencing period and if they continue in the criminal lifestyle…I advocate for life in prison…yes, it’s expensive but at least the societal cost in lives and money is mitigated by their confinement.

LOCK THEM UP; unfortunately, America’s law enforcement community has been castrated by lowered moral, ethical, physiological, psychological, standards in order to recruit LGBTQ and minorities and females along with a Progressive WOKE ideology of pacifism via hypocritical virtue signaling…America’s law enforcement, Federal-State-Local are as useless as the tits on a boar hog…shameful. The American citizen is poised to suffer under current Progressive – Marxist insanity…arm yourself well and stand your ground as Patriots.

Jesus asked the young ruler…”Why do you call me good?” What was Jesus’ motive?

Why did Jesus ask the rich young ruler,

18 And a ruler asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 19 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. (Luke 18:18-19; Mark 10:18).

Does Jesus deny His deity in these verses?

The rich young ruler approached Jesus seeking the Path to eternal life through works of self-righteousness…Jesus provided the young man his first opportunity to find life by acknowledging Jesus as Messiah-God-Savior by faith; therefore, Jesus asked the young man why he had called Jesus “good” teacher seeing that no one is truly “good” but God and if the young man had acknowledged Jesus as Messiah-God the discourse that followed concerning law, commandments, obedience, would have been unnecessary.

Jesus IS NOT denying His deity but confirming it and offering the young man a Path to eternal life by a public confession of faith in Him as Lord. Jesus’ following discourse with the young man is focused upon the necessity for “faith” – “belief” as opposed to works of the law for righteousness (a right standing) with our Heavenly Father.

The fruition of immorality in the Biden administration…

Why the controversy surrounding the LGBTQ community serving in Biden’s administration?

When one is ethically confused and violates basic biological morality through advocacy for or participation in LGBTQ defilement, why are we surprised when other moral, ethical, decisions made by the sexually perverse tend toward lawlessness…why is this so difficult for HR departments, law enforcement administrations, to understand and properly deal with during the hiring process? If one is unable to adhere to the most basic of biological morality, why do you think they will adhere to sustainable morality in life’s other daily moral decisions?

James 2:10, the Law, our condemnation, what does that mean?

For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” — James 2:10 (KJV) What does that mean?

James 2:10 expresses, articulates, the futility of seeking covenant relationship with the Father by obedience to Law, a Law of ordinances that only defines our sin void atonement (Romans 3:20).

James 2:10 means that no man will find righteousness (a right standing) with the Father through vain attempts to keep the Law (Romans 3:20-23) as only perfection will be accepted as blood atonement for our sin (Hebrews 10); therefore, someone other than a man born of the seed of Adam (Romans 5:12) must make intercession for us in order to appease the Father’s wrath and curse for sin (Ezekiel 18:20-24; Genesis 2:17).

Animal sacrifices could not assuage the Father’s wrath (Hebrews 10:4) but foreshadowed One who would come, a “spotless lamb” (John 1:29; 1 Peter 1:19), that would provide blood atonement for the sins of the World; therefore, the Son entered Time born of the virgin seed (Galatians 4:4; Genesis 3:15; Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18-23) and walked among us in flesh for 33.5-years without sin (2 Corinthians 5:21) and offered Himself as blood atonement to fulfill the mandates of Leviticus 17:11 and the Father agrees by covenant promise (Hebrews 8:12) to forgive and forget the sin of the one who who believes-trusts in the Son, Jesus Christ, as Messiah believing that Jesus died to pay their sin-debt for them…a sin-debt they could never pay them self through self-righteousness via law-keeping (2 Corinthians 5:21; Romans 10:9-10; John 3; Galatians 2:16).

James 2:10 and Galatians 3:10 and Galatians 2:16 and Romans 3:20 and Romans 8 and 2 Corinthians 5:21 and Hebrews 10 and John 3 clearly articulate the truism that the only Path to LIFE and Truth in Time and Eternity is Jesus Christ as our Messiah (John 14:6; Acts 4:12).

Why is America and a vast majority of its citizenry seeking death in Hell?

Why is America and a vast majority of its citizenry seeking death in Hell?

America has been lost to a Progressive-Marxist agenda that has been in-play for over 100-years…we are now seeing the fruition of Communism in our society that was under girded by Progressives as early as 1880 (Dewey – Jean Rousseau), an elitist-Progressive ideology taking firm root in the late 50’s, early 60’s, through the GRU/KGB; narcissistic socialist elites addicted to power and control; the extrication of Jesus from society and the infusion of Darwin (evolutionary theory) and Marx in our public schools (Engel v. Vitale – 1962); hence, the moral and ethical debasement of those who matured in the 60’s and gave birth to the Millennial and Gen-Z generations absent the morality, ethics, patriotism, essential to the success of the American experiment as articulated within our Declaration and our Constitution.

America as a moral and ethical people has passed into the annals of history and we are now a society of infanticide advocates, murderers, sexual perverts, narcissistic thieves, liars, deceivers who rally under the banner of the Democrat Party i.e. Marxists-Socialists-Progressives-abortionists-sexual perverts/pedophiles/sodomites-atheists-haters of America and we will perish as a society in the manner of Rome e.g. moral rot and defilement and very few Jesus Christ honoring Patriots will stand and fight against what is coming; that is, misery, bondage and suffering for our posterity.

If you love the Father, Son, the Holy Spirit, hold fast to your confession, fight to the death for what you believe and know to be Truth…let the World go to Hell as that was its destiny from Eden forward, just don’t go to Hell with it…arm yourself adequately, do NOT trust America’s law enforcement to provide you protection or intercession as they have become impotent via WOKE Democrat policies, trust in Jesus and LIVE…study the Scriptures and know what is coming upon the World, love your family and die in peace, a peace offered only through faith in Jesus as your Lord (Romans 5:1).

Why did Israel’s children reject Messiah Yeshua?

Why did Israel’s children reject Messiah Yeshua?

Because Jewish, Israeli, leadership coveted their power and influence over the people exercised through strict obedience to Mosaic LAW under girding “self-righteousness” as opposed to seeking life through faith in Messiah and receiving Messiah’s imputed righteousness by grace via covenant promise (2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 8:12).

This eternally damning Israeli mindset continues to this very day via Rabbinical Judaism and Jewish secularism and this is why only a “remnant” of Israel’s children will escape the “Judgement of the Condemned” and the “second death” in Hell (Isaiah 10:22; Romans 9:27; Revelation 20:11-15); therefore, do NOT follow Israel’s error in unbelief but trust in Yeshua as your Messiah by faith and LIVE eternally!

Atheist…where is your evidence?

Atheist…where is your “evidence” for your religion of nihilism?

Often, I’m asked to provide “evidence” for my God, for Jesus Christ, to defend the integrity of my Lord’s words as provided by the Holy Spirit in the Canon of Scripture but not once has an Atheist provided “evidence” for their religion that denies the existence of a god, creator (KAUFMAN v. McCAUGHTRY, 2005).

Not once has an Atheist provided an explanation concerning the who, what, where, when, why, how, relevant to our origin, our purpose in Time, our destiny. If there is a viable Atheistic statement of causation concerning the origin of matter and the human genome apart from the Canon of Scripture, please Atheist, elaborate on same; please provide your exegesis on the fundamentals of the Atheistic religion and its relevance in the daily life of humanity?

If you cannot define origin of matter, life, apart from design and a mandated Designer, your religion of nihilism is actually impotent as you’re relegated to confessing “I don’t know;” therefore, you don’t “know” God does NOT exist but you only ass-u-me His absence to appease a guilty conscience and life of narcissistic debauchery?

Inquiring minds desire to know…

Origin of Matter: why mankind will never define same…

Origin of Matter, Time, the Human Genome. Why mankind will never define origin…

Mankind will NEVER define the origin of matter, why?

The Darwinist-Physicist-Astrophysicist-Nuclear Biologist-Biochemist, struggle daily, in vain, to define the origin of our Universe, the origin of matter, the human genome yet though a myriad of secular “theories” have emanated from the prejudiced illogical, absolutely NOTHING of relevance has been discovered nor is it forthcoming, why?

The temporary Realm of Time, constrained by physics, along with our complex human genome, find their origin in the Realm of the Spiritual and the Creation Narrative has manifest for cause with specific eschatological purpose as clearly defined, articulated, by the Holy Spirit in the Canon of Scripture which He authored for our edification.

The Holy Spirit explains that the Son, Jesus Christ, took elements from the “unseen” Spiritual Realm and fashioned those elements into matter that can be apprehended by life constrained by Time and physics (Genesis 1; John 1; Hebrews 1; Colossians 1; Hebrews 11:3). All that we apprehend with our senses originates from that which is not seen with the human eye; for that reason, humanity will NEVER define the origin of matter, the genesis of life in Time because all that exists within Time was “created” from that which cannot be apprehended by the flesh.

All that IS apprehended by the flesh, the senses, will be destroyed by fire when our the Heavenly Father’s eschatological purposes for same have come to fruition; therefore, this temporary Earth in its present cursed condition is not our eternal abode (2 Peter 3:7-14; Matthew 24:35; Revelation 20:11; Psalm 102:25-26; Hebrews 13:14-16).

Creation – Creator – Evidence – Atheistic Obfuscation…

Creation – Creator- Evidence – Atheism – Spiritual ignorance – Obfuscation…

Atheism and atheists proclaim their spiritual ignorance and loyalty to Satan through their obfuscation “Where is your evidence for a God.” It’s simple….explain the origin of matter, the design integral with our Universe and our complex genome apart from meticulous design mandating a Designer, an omnipotent Architect; explain the intangibles of logic, reason, discernment, conscience, love, apart from a Creator; otherwise, you’re simply mumbling in spiritual ignorance and irrelevance of the fool (Psalm 14:1).
