Best Self-Defense Caliber?

Should our Nation go to war against itself or an invading adversary the best “caliber(s)” are those that are and will be readily available which are primarily NATO authorized; hence, 22; 9mm; 223/5.56; 308/7.62; 7.62X39; 12-gauge shot shells in slug, 00-buck, #4-buck; therefore, any weapon that you choose to build or purchase as your GO-TO weapon chambered in a caliber other than these listed and should law and order completely collapse, you’ll be searching the dead for sustenance and a weapon chambered in these calibers.

Why can some see the signs of National degradation around us and others can’t?

Someone asked: “Why is it that some of us can see what is going on in the world and others can’t?”

Answer,

Because America is dying in Progressive filth and She will be relegated to impotency concerning foreign policy and as an ally to Israel as this is Elohim’s eschatological will as no one will come to Israel’s aid when the coalition of Russia-China-Iran/Islam come against Jerusalem, Israel in a nuclear conflict…only Jesus will intercede and defend Israel in that day. America’s current spiral into immoral filth is Satan’s work and almost two-thirds of America’s populous are his servants in spiritual ignorance and self-defilement.

Is repentance necessary for salvation?

Is “repentance” necessary for salvation or does true repentance follow salvation by faith in Jesus as Messiah, alone?

Jesus emphasized the need for “repentance” but is repentance an element of salvation or does repentance manifest subsequent salvation? Can one truly “repent” lest one is born again by the Holy Spirit through faith in Jesus?

Discussion, Premise, open for debate…

If one truly “believes” that Jesus is Messiah and desires an eternal relationship with the Father through faith in Jesus, repentance is integral with faith as that saving faith will naturally lead to a life seeking obedience, a new life in Jesus that turns away from the works of the Adamic nature as the conscience is now acutely attuned to compromise with sin; this, through daily sanctification, a work of the indwelling Holy Spirit given to all who believe (Galatians 5:16; Ephesians 1:13:14).

Repentance IS part of the total salvation experience but without the indwelling Holy Spirit given ONLY to those who “believe” (Ephesians 1:13-14; John 3)…true repentance is not possible; therefore, what comes first, the chicken or the egg?

The “desire” to repent is integral with true faith in Jesus as one realizes their need for Jesus’ atonement due their sin nature, but the ability to fulfill the desire to live a holy life is only actuated or made possible “subsequent” belief; this, as true repentance, the power and anointing to truly repent, is not possible void the indwelling Holy Spirit who initiates the “new creation” in Messiah (Ephesians 1:13-14; 2 Corinthians 5:17); so then, does one have to actually verbalize or say they repent of their sin in order to be saved? I think that’s open for debate but suggesting that verbalizing or repenting in order to be saved is a theological stretch, a subtle “works doctrine,” as it’s not practically possible to truly “repent” lest one is “born again” by faith-belief and has then received the indwelling Holy Spirit as Guarantor of New Covenant with the Father; yes, one can express a “desire” or a NEED to repent but desire does not equate to true repentance.

What say YOU? Is “belief”-faith in Jesus as Messiah who died for you the KEY to salvation or must one first repent?

Must one repent and demonstrate evidence of that repentance in conjunction with faith to be saved – or – are the fruits of repentance (Galatians 5) that follows salvation, fruits of righteousness inspired by the indwelling Holy Spirit, the validation and authentication that one’s “faith” is true saving faith; after all, Jesus did say “You will know them by their fruit” (Matthew 7:15-20)?

Jewish-Israeli Theological Error, death in Hell, concerning Ezekiel 18:20-23

Eternal Jewish-Israeli Theological Error: Does Ezekiel 18:20-23 nullify or negate the precepts of Christianity, the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

Ezekiel 18,

20 The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.

21 “But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 22 None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; because of the righteousness which he has done, he shall live. 23 Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?” says the Lord God, “and not that he should turn from his ways and live?

Christian explanation to the Jew or Israelite who trusts Ezekiel 18 for salvation from death in Hell,

You are in error concerning Ezekiel and you are headed to death in Hell in your sin concerning your rejection of Jesus. Please allow this old “Christian” to explain…

In Ezekiel 18, the prophet speaks of those who repent and place their faith in Elohim as the One true Creator; this repentance accompanied by faith is the very same process that men and men, from Adam forward, exercised to find righteousness “a right standing” with Elohim; that is, by “grace through faith” (Hebrews 11).

From the Genesis forward, human kind has initiated righteousness or “a right standing” with the Father by faith, alone…this is true also for the New Covenant established in the blood of Jesus our Messiah (Matthew 26:28)…

SO THEN, WHAT DOES CHRISTIANITY OFFER THAT THE OLD TESTAMENT AND THE LAW COVENANT DOES NOT?

The New Covenant offers eternal LIFE in the New Jerusalem with Messiah Jesus, forever, while the Hebrew Scriptures offered righteousness by faith but provided NO FORM of acceptable atonement for sin (Leviticus 17:11); therefore, those in the Old Testament who died in righteousness with Elohim via faith could NOT enter the Kingdom due their sin that had not yet received the acceptable blood atonement (Leviticus 17:11; Hebrews 8-10), blood atonement provided ONLY by faith in Messiah Jesus at Golgotha (1 Peter 1:18-19; John 14:6); therefore, these Old Testament saints were interned spiritually in Sheol-Hades/Paradise awaiting the promised Messiah (Luke 16; Psalm 16:10).

The Holy Spirit teaches that while Messiah’s body lie in state in the tomb, Messiah Jesus was very busy preaching liberty to the Old Testament captives in Sheol-Hades/Paradise and ultimately redeemed them and escorted them into the Kingdom of Elohim, a Kingdom where nothing impure is permitted to enter (Revelation 21:27), the Kingdom of Elohim where all who die in Jesus as Messiah are translated spiritually this very day (Ephesians 4:8-10; 2 Corinthians 5:8).

In conclusion,

Therefore, though the Holy Spirit via Ezekiel emphasizes salvation by faith, the message is incomplete as salvation, in the Hebrew Scriptures, was lacking acceptable atonement (Hebrews 8:7); therefore, Ezekiel does not nullify the superiority and necessity for Christianity, the Gospel, but Ezekiel simply articulates the foundation upon which Christianity is based; that is, salvation by grace through faith; this, while Christianity offers eternal life through Messiah Jesus’ atonement, something Ezekiel or Moses or the blood of animals or Torah could never provide (Hebrews 10).
