Can a Christian prove to God that they love Him if they don’t keep His Commandments?

How can a Christian prove to God that they Love Him If they Don’t Keep His Commandments?? John 14:15.

If Commandment Keeping that actually pleased the Father unto righteousness were possible, Jesus died needlessly (Galatians 2:21).

Commandment keeping which honors the Father is a work of the indwelling Holy Spirit SUBSEQUENT establishing a New Covenant relationship with the Father by faith in Jesus, FIRST (John 6:29; 15:8). It is our spiritual fruit produced through us by the Spirit (Galatians 5:16-23) that honors the Father, not our efforts to keep rules and regulations in self-righteousness which are ultimately interpreted by the Father as “filthy rags” (Isaiah 64:6).

If one seeks to honor the Father through obedience, first obey the Father’s will; that is, “believe in the One He has sent into the World” to provide blood atonement for your sin (John 6:29); then, all of these other things, peace – joy – obedience – assurance, will be added as well (John 6:29; Matthew 6:33). Relationship first – obedience will follow through the work of the indwelling Holy Spirit via daily Christian sanctification (Galatians 5:16). You will know them by their fruit (Matthew 7:15-20), divine “fruit” against which there is no law (Galatians 5:23).

Vehicular NOISE abuse in Florida, some questions…

Vehicular NOISE abuse in Florida, some relevant questions…

  1. Can someone explain to me why Lee County enforcement officials refuse to protect and serve the most innocent, children – the handicapped – the elderly – our family members, from the audible abuse of illegally LOUD bikers, auto and truck operators, operating unencumbered on the public roadways of Lee County, Florida; this, when Florida’s State Motor Vehicle Law clearly prohibits the operation of these illegally LOUD motor vehicles by mandating a quiet muffler that meets the sound suppression capabilities of the OEM – factory-installed muffler that was affixed to the vehicle when manufactured? Why is the Cape Coral Police, Fort Myers Police, Lee County Sheriff’s Department, the State Highway Patrol, so very impotent and neglectful relevant to vehicular NOISE abuse? Does this misfeasance, malfeasance, stem from ignorance, apathy?
  2. Why have Florida’s State Legislators made violations of the Muffler Laws a “non-criminal civil offense” (fine only) as opposed to a “criminal physical assault” with escalating fines and incarceration for subsequent abusive offenses? Are Florida’s State Legislators and Governor DeSantis unconcerned about the health and welfare, the daily quality of life, of the Floridian, our families, our children, our elderly, the handicapped, who are abused by vehicular NOISE thuggery day and night, 24/7/365?
  3. Yes, the Legislator’s have recently enacted a noise law to address LOUD music “noise” emanating from motor vehicles, why NOT enforce the muffler laws as well and impound these offensive vehicles and incarcerate the abusers? How much longer must Florida’s residents suffer from the vehicular NOISE bullies? Where is the governmental intercession or are we expected to take matters into our own hands?

Florida Statutes Title XXIII. Motor Vehicles § 316.293. Motor vehicle noise

KickStands…Pine Island

Rick Holtsclaw (begin: 10/20/24)

It is a shame that a business attracting bully vehicular NOISE thugs who abuse our children and our families has planted itself on our Island. I’ve noticed the uptick in loud biker thuggery subsequent the opening of Kickstands. Why does the Lee County Sheriff’s Department allow these vehicular NOISE bullies to destroy our Island’s peace and quietness while simultaneously violating the State’s vehicular noise laws which specifically mandate an OEM, quiet, muffler?

Florida Statutes Title XXIII. Motor Vehicles § 316.293. Motor vehicle noise

Rick Holtsclaw Hey Rick – WTF are you talking about. There are 100’s of motorcycles that cruise the 15 mile island. There is no noise ordinance on the island, and some bikes happen to be louder than others. If you don’t like what you see or what you hear, then go inside and close your blinds. GTFOH!!

Rick Holtsclaw

Eric Cathy Lovern The State Law prohibits motor vehicles from operating on the public roadways of the State, including Pine Island, that are illegally equipped with exhaust mechanisms LOUDER than what the vehicle was originally equipped with…which wa…

Rick Holtsclaw well sir, if you think you or anyone else is going to prohibit motorcycles from being LOUD on Pine Island or the state of Florida, you are sadly mistaken. And before you fire off at me, I personally do not own a motorcycle… but I will say the noise doesn’t bother me.

There are factory exhaust on motorcycles that I am sure you think is ‘too loud’. I was beside a Cape Coral motorcycle cop on Burnt Store Road last week and his exhaust was pretty loud.

But do you think that should penalize a business, because they have a place that bikers like to go?

Eric Cathy Lovern Factory exhausts on street legal motorcycles are properly labeled and restricted to a total motorcycle noise emissions of 80dB(A) at a specified brake horsepower under full acceleration as per the Code of Federal Regulations….this is the minimum safe emissions standard for the general public.

You solicit the business of narcissistic biker bullies who audibly assault our most innocent. You are complicit in this offensive behavior and if Lee County cared about the health and welfare, the daily quality of life, the safety, of the citizens living here, they would actively enforce the muffler laws mandating a quiet OEM muffler.

Though our County officials and police are too complicit and ignorant and cowardly to enforce the applicable laws, I will continue to speak-out on this offensive, intrusive, irresponsible, dangerous, bully behavior relevant to those who ride and drive illegally LOUD.

I am fully aware that the public has become conditioned to the abusive behavior from the clientèle you solicit for money but the fact remains, you solicit the business of offensive and arrogant and narcissistic bullies who audibly abuse our most innocent with illegally equipped, illegally LOUD motorcycles and auto’s and trucks…you should be ashamed and you should care…but……… NO business should solicit the “business” of those who offended, abuse, neglect, bully, endanger, the public.

The Cruise – The Ignorant Passenger – the Atheist – an Analogy…

The Cruise – The Ignorant Passenger – the Atheist – an Analogy…

Dear Atheist,

You don’t know because you’ve never attempted to know Jesus by faith. You’re like the patron who paid for a transatlantic cruise without knowledge of the benefits and went hungry, daily, as he observed the wealthy passengers eating lavish meals and drink till filled…on the last day of the cruise before entering port, the hungry man was standing outside a portal watching the passengers gorge themselves on incredible food and drink when a passerby inquired as to why the downtrodden man just stood there staring into the window???

The old man was hungry and said he wished he could have taken part in the daily feasts as he was absolutely miserable with the meager sustenance that he had brought along for the journey. The inquiring man advised the patron that the food and drink were part of the package deal…the food and drink were paid for with the ticket of passage but now it was the final hour of the cruise, port was in view…the kitchen had closed, the food was no longer available…it was too late.

You are this pathetic patron…life eternal is before you and you’re too arrogant and too obstinate to pursue life in Jesus and find true joy, peace, sustenance, eternally. Atheism is a fools life journey and nihilism is their destiny. Jesus as one’s Messiah is the “Ticket” to a life of purpose and joy, eternally (John 3:16).

Can true Christian faith be the product of indoctrination?

Can true Christian faith be the product of indoctrination?

Though many can be “indoctrinated” into a cult or a religion, it is NOT possible to be indoctrinated into true Christianity as true Christianity is an intimate, abiding, personal, relationship with our Creator by faith. Genuine, Life-Giving, Faith is beyond “indoctrination”…it is not possible to “indoctrinate” Christian faith and Christian faith cannot be taught, coerced, manipulated, but Christian faith is volitional trusting-believing with a sincere heart that what has been provided by the Holy Spirit in the Canon of Scripture is true and that same Christian faith believes that our Creator will do exactly as He has promised.

Christian Faith cannot be achieved, internalized or maintained through coercion or deception…faith in Jesus as Messiah must be internally genuine in order to ingratiate one’s self with our Creator and thereby establish New Covenant relationship with Him and receive the indwelling Holy Spirit as Guarantor of New Covenant promise (Ephesians 1:13-14; Hebrews 11:6).

Though Christian faith comes through hearing the words of our Creator (Romans 10:17), those words must be volitionally internalized and received as true with a sincere heart and subsequently responded to in the affirmative in order that said faith be valid, applicable and regenerative.

On the other hand,

The false “faith” of the atheist, secular humanist, is the product of demonic deception as it’s the product of Satan, false teaching via Marxist education/indoctrination; generally, more often than not…atheism is a product of Darwinian Evolution forced upon the naive in public school settings. Atheism, once ingrained in the heart of the deceived, the arrogant, the proud, the narcissist, is likened to a metastasizing malignancy as it eats away at the soul and decimates the conscience and ultimately leads to antisocial, perverse, behaviors that destroy mind, body, soul, in Hell. It is the false faith of the atheist that comprises the “many” in Jesus’ warning…

The Narrow and Wide Gates

13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Matthew 7:13-14

America Today – A Tragedy of Tragedies…

America Today – A Tragedy of Tragedies…

As a 67-year old American male who loves this Land called America, the United States, I am disheartened beyond words to come to the conclusion that approximately 50% of our society has become institutionalized puppets of Marxist professors, teachers, administrators, state-media propaganda.

Over 50% of American society consists of godless abortion advocates – women who fight for a perceived “right” to murder their children; sexual perversion advocates seeking to force a demonic trans agenda upon our most innocent; Marxists seeking the destruction of our communities our way of life…this is embarrassing and wholly offensive!

It is unimaginable that over 50% of America apparently supports a political Marxist whore for President of the United States, a rabid Marxist whose vile policies will destroy our way of life and the future of our posterity. Shame on everyone who identifies as a Democrat-Progressive…you are NOT psychologically or spiritually well!

Is Christianity “decaying” as Tozer allegedly proclaims?

“Christianity is decaying and going down the gutter because the god of modern Christianity is not the God of the bible”— Tozer

So what?

True and VALID Christianity is not subject to man or Satan. Christianity is a personal, intimate, relationship with our Creator, Jesus the Messiah, through faith and a daily, intimate, walk in sanctification via the indwelling Holy Spirit.

True Christianity will never fade away irrespective of Tozer or any other man and their schemes…those who belong to the Father through faith in the Son and possess the precious Holy Spirit are HIS eternally (John 10:28-30): therefore, don’t worry about what the World says or does as the World is dead and already decaying away!

Let the World seek Hell, hold fast to Jesus for victory and stop worrying about the nonsense of those who have and will reject the Scriptures and the Living Word as the one who belongs to Jesus IS “Christianity” and they ARE the Church!

Did Omniscient Elohim create the Adamic/Noahic generation’s only to destroy them in Judgment by water?

Did omniscient Elohim create the Adamic/Noahic generation’s only to destroy them in Judgment by water?

FREE WILL, volition infused into both the angelic and human creations is the mover of our Creator’s heart. He is absolutely neutral at the point He creates you in your mother’s womb and places the spirit of life in your genome; yes, Elohim does impart gifts and anointing but the recipient must freely choose to employ same …Elohim does not create you evil or good but neutral with a conscience of sufficient magnitude and cognition to intuitively know, differentiate, good from evil, right from wrong, though this inner-voice of consciousness (Romans 2:14-15) does require “time” to mature sufficiently where the conscience is beleaguered by aberrant conduct and pleased-finds joy with good, sustainable, conduct; therefore, Elohim’s compassion and tolerance for sin extends from birth until a time of accountability is fixed in the human conscience…this time varies among individuals in accordance with a myriad of environmental and physiological factors but rest assured, our Creator knows our thoughts intimately (Psalm 139:2).

Subsequent Adam’s compromise with evil, the human genome was corrupted and fell prey to atrophy, degradation as did all of nature, the 2nd-Law of Thermodynamics (Romans 8:22-23; Genesis 3:17). There was an exponential rise in genomic degradation during the Adamic/Noahic generational maturation; that is, the infusion of the demonic, the Nepilim, an unconscionable compromise with Satan and certain demonic forces that were so very vile and defiled that they have been bound in Hell to this very day and they will not be released until subsequent Messiah’s Millennial Kingdom and the final battle between Elohim and Satan (Jude 1:6) prefacing the Judgment of the Condemned (Revelation 20:10-15) and the destruction/purification of the Earth and Heavens by fire (1 Peter 3:10; Revelation 21:1).

Elohim’s ONLY reason for having created matter, Time, physics, the Heaven’s the Earth, our genome, is as an alternate battle ground for the Great Kingdom War initiated by Satan…this war was removed from the Kingdom where NOTHING impure is permitted to exist (Revelation 21:7; Revelation 12). From the earliest pages of The Genesis, we are introduced to Satan and observe his charisma and deception in Eden which ultimately led to the Adamic fall (Romans 5:12; Genesis 3; Ezekiel 28:11+).

Elohim’s eschatological plan from “before the beginning of Time” has always been “The Gospel of Jesus Christ” infused into Time as a battle strategy (2 Timothy 1:8-10; Genesis 3:21) to deal with Satan; in fact, the ONLY reason Messiah Jesus took-on flesh via hypostasis (Philippians 2:6-11) was “to destroy the works of Satan” (1 John 3:8b). This spiritual war was formerly declared in Genesis 3:15, the battle strategy first pictured in Genesis 3:21 (Elohim shedding innocent blood to cover the sins of humanity) and the remaining plethora of Scripture from Genesis 3 to Revelation 22 is the fulfillment of this eschatological plan ultimately reaching an initial divine goal 4000-years later on Mt. Golgotha/Calvary/Moriah outside the Old City of Jerusalem, Israel on a Roman Cross where the sinless blood of Messiah Jesus dripped into the sands of Golgotha and the Father declared victory through the blood atonement which defeated death, Hell, the Grave, for all who believe (John 26:28; John 3:16; 1 Peter 1:18-19; Leviticus 17:11).

Concerning the Adamic and Noahic generations…

Elohim’s initial desire was that the Adamic and Noahic generations be the progenitors of Messiah and through the catalyst of faith, these generations would honor Elohim and His will for all of humanity; that is, to live and thrive through obedience and holiness concerning Elohim’s perfect will but these generations freely chose defilement which is briefly documented by the Holy Spirit in Romans 1:18-32 (Genesis 6:5).

Elohim’s eschatological plan would NOT be deterred by the defilement of Adam’s and Noah’s generation’s but Elohim allowed this human defilement with Satan’s servants and used same as a stark and terrifying example to the faithful angelic creation of the ramifications of disobedience and their former “boss,” Satan, was clearly revealed as the root initiator of this horror (John 8:44), defilement and ultimate Judgment; in fact. Elohim is making a spectacle of Satan’s works and has been for over 6000-years which will act as a bulwark against future rebellion in the Kingdom of Elohim as free will exists there as well; this, by necessity; therefore, both the faithful angelic creation and the redeemed in Jesus in resurrected bodies serving in the New Jerusalem will fully understand by experiential relevance that obedience is eternally superior to rebellion.

Our entire creation is predicated upon WAR…the Adamic and Noahic generations freely chose to war against Elohim through their alliance with Satan, the demonic…there was no way those generations would recover or be redeemed as their conscience was seared, the defilement ran so deep that grace and mercy would NEVER be realized through faith yet Elohim’s struggle with Satan remained; therefore, Noah found favor with Elohim via faith (Genesis 6:8); therefore, Elohim chose to begin anew via Noah and his family via Shem, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah, Jesus, the Covenant of Law and the New Covenant of Grace established in the blood of Jesus our Messiah (Matthew 26:28).

I understand that internalizing these truths is difficult for one who is consumed with hatred for our Creator, the Bible, one who has been deceived by “religion,” but know that Elohim’s primary DIVINE concern is His intimate relationship with His cherished, faithful, angelic creation and you and I are part of an eschatological plan that involves demonstrating to that faithful angelic creation why Satan was extricated from his position of authority in the Kingdom and why obedience is superior to disobedience as what is being demonstrated is that life and peace flow from obedience to Elohim’s will but unfathomable horror and suffering are the resultant of rejecting Elohim’s will, love and compassion.

Many have asked the question, “Why didn’t Elohim simply destroy Satan?” First of all, Satan is angelic…he will never die…death is foreign to the angelic creation (Luke 20:36) and if Elohim via His omnipotence decided to violate that eternal truth and destroy Satan and the one-third of the angelic creation that followed him in the rebellion, the question is posited, “Would the faithful angelic creation truly love Elohim for Who He is, a loving and compassionate Creator or would they obey strictly out of fear thereby nullifying intimacy and cherished interpersonal relationship?” “Can authentic love exist void free will and can intimacy exist in an atmosphere of fear?”

It is a divine Truth that had Satan not rebelled, humanity would have NEVER been created and it is a divine Truth that Elohim loves His angelic creation beyond human comprehension…maintaining divine intimacy with them is the root of our Genesis.
