How can I find Spiritual Truth? How can I be saved from death in Hell?

I know because I did. I would not tell you this lest I had experienced it personally. The KEY to life and hope and joy and peace is getting alone, acquiring a readable version of the Canon of Scriptures….my first read was the paraphrased version known as “The Living Bible” and sit quietly, simply ask the Father to show you what He desires you know…humbly ask the Father to give you a heart that is willing to receive…just humble yourself…try the Lord and ask Him…open your Bible to the “Gospel of John” and read every word with intent and a heart willing to accept the Father’s anointing and understanding…reflect on what you’re reading and ponder the possibilities…at least make an effort to find life in Jesus before dying in this fallen World and suffering Judgment that is wholly avoidable by faith in Jesus who died for you to pay your sin-debt owed the Father. JUST DO IT! (you have nothing to lose)

Jesus – The Holy Spirit – Faith: The Keys to Divine Knowledge

Religion - Christianity, , , , , ,
Concerning the Creation Narrative – our Creator, Jesus the Messiah & Belief v. Unbelief (The Key to Knowledge)

What we “believers” in Jesus know that you unbelievers do not is that all we see and interact with within the Realm of Time is rooted in the Spiritual Realm…you “unbelievers” falsely believe that what you interact with relevant to your atrophying senses is all that exists but this is a naive fallacy and this is why spiritual ignorance dominates a life of atheism, secular humanism i.e., nihilism (1 Corinthians 2:14).

Time, physics, matter, your complex genome are products of the Spiritual Realm and they were “created” by Jesus for cause and those who desire to KNOW and UNDERSTAND in this life must seek answers from the more relevant, infinitely superior, Realm of the Spiritual and until such time you and yours acknowledge this reality and pursue it with a sincere heart by faith willing to believe, you will remain in nihilism and perish in Hell in unbelief as Jesus our Messiah is your only Hope for life and knowledge and understanding as Jesus’ Kingdom is not of this World or this faltering, decaying, Realm of Time but of the Realm of the Spiritual, eternal, infinitely superior; herein lies the fallacy and failures of atheism and secular humanism; that is, “unbelief” that culminates in spiritual ignorance and nihilism and ultimately death in Hell.

If you desire “knowledge” concerning the who, what, where, when, why, relevant to our presence in the Realm of Time, “you must be born again” (John 3) by faith in Jesus who is the “Door” to this knowledge (John 10:9-16) and receive the indwelling Holy Spirit who IS our divine Teacher (Ephesians 1:13-14; 1 John 2:27).

A talking snake in Eden, please explain?

Atheists-Secular Humanists mock the account of a “talking serpent” in Eden immediately subsequent the Creation Narrative, what is the Truth?

If you studied and sought Elohim with a pure heart, you would understand the deeper Truths of Scripture and how the Holy Spirit weaves these beautiful threads together throughout His words via precept upon precept and line upon line. It is the one who searches and seeks and desires spiritual knowledge with a heart willing to believe that receives the deeper Truths of Scripture often likened to the peeling away of an onion skin…the more steadfast the search, the more spiritual truth the Holy Spirit reveals.

First of all…there was no “talking snake” in Eden but the Holy Spirit used the attributes of a serpent as analogous to the attributes of Satan. If one studies and listens to the Spirit, they will find that the Holy Spirit discreetly describes what Eve observed and communed with in Eden and why she was so enamored by what she observed.

You, in your atheism, are physics bound – you do not possess the cognitive and spiritual acuity, due your atheism, to understand that the World constrained by the Realm of Time is a minuscule, almost irrelevant and temporary, fragment of reality and that there exists a Spiritual Realm surrounding us, permeating us, that is infinitely superior and more detailed and complex than this temporary creation that is decaying daily; in fact, 99% of all that is manifesting before our eyes is rooted in the unseen Spiritual World…Jesus plainly tells you that He is NOT from this Realm of Time…His Kingdom is in the Spiritual World (John 18:36). We too are spirits constrained by a decaying body of flesh and our true selves will not be free until we rid our self of this body of sin subject to physics and death.

If you desire to know what Eve observed in Eden, I’ll share the Holy Spirit’s account as He interrupts the prophet Ezekiel’s warning to the King of Tyre to insert a tidbit of knowledge to those who seek it…the MEME below articulates these relevant verses.

The Atheist: Hypocritical Bullies; Abusive-pretentious servants of Satan

Liberal Ideology, Religion - Christianity, , , ,

As a Christian who has debated the atheist for YEARS, I can only quietly giggle in anger when I receive rebuttal from the demonically led atheist that my Christianity is inferior because I don’t play by their rule; that is, I’m not the meek and mild Christian victim of their ludicrous demonic religious mockery and hatred; I tell the atheist the uncomfortable Truth; that is, they are dying in their sin (John 8:24), their lives in atheism are nothing more than nihilistic impotency and lest they repent and trust in Jesus they will suffer horrifically as they approach the “second death” in Hell due their rejection of Messiah Jesus for the forgiveness of sin (John 3; Revelation 20:11-15).  

I do consider the atheist a sissified, self-endowed, ignorant fool and if one is repulsed by that character summation all one must do to acknowledge the truism that atheists are spiritually dead, cognitively handicapped, servants of Satan is sit quietly for a few minutes and absorb their demonic rhetoric as they dehumanize and insult and mock a Christian seeking to share with them the Truth of Scripture, the Gospel. 

Atheists are bully tyrants, fascists, in a demonic religion of ha-te – sexual perversion – infanticide – Marxism – Progressivism. I do not recommend a Christian, one that adheres to Paul’s admonition to Timothy (2 Timothy 2:25); that is, to rebut critics of Christianity with “meekness and gentleness” to engage the demonic atheist…it’s not worth the injury to your obedient and loving soul but I know the atheist, they are sissified bullies…so let’s do this!

You sissified bully atheists in this forum…I have noticed over time how you treat Christians, especially @JustSayin…shame on you hypocrites as you gag at a gnat and swallow a camel.

Christianity v. Atheism; Conservative v. Progressive; just a simple difference in social programming?

Uncategorized, , , ,

As one who loves, adores, worships, Jesus our Messiah, Elohim the Father and Elohim the Holy Spirit, I discuss atheists, progressives, democrats, Marxists, LGBTQ perverts, abortionists and denote these as EVIL people at their core…these are those who murder babies in the womb and fight and clamor and demonstrate for the perceived “right” to mutilate babies at ANY point of gestation; these are the people who fight and clamor and pollute our society with the most vile of sexual perversion and then mandate their mental and spiritual illness be forced upon our children in public schools; sick and perverse trans drag queens humping in the face of children and demanding they chant their demonic lyrics, these arrogant sexual demons force their demonic culture upon our families, our weak church congregations and administrations…these are Marxists who hate America, our freedoms, our Christianity, they hate Israel and advocate for Islamic terrorism and terrorists…the atheist – secular humanist – democrat – progressive are a vile and demonic people who do NOT deserve the goodness America offers nor are they worthy of the sacrifices made by our fallen in battle. The democrat – the progressive – the atheist – the Marxist – the secular humanist – these are moral-ethical-traitors, these are the demonic among us – these are to be shunned and ostracized as they are worthy of confinement in Federal prison, state mental institutions, deportation, exiled away from our children, our most innocent, our families.

Concerning those who struggle to make themselves worthy of God’s acceptance…

Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , , , ,

Concerning those who struggle to make themselves worthy of Elohim’s mercy and grace…

It is NOT you or your work or your efforts that engender acceptance by the Father but it is the work and faithfulness of Jesus and His selfless love for the Father and for YOU demonstrated at the Cross that makes you worthy, acceptable, when you trust in Jesus as your Messiah because the perfection – beauty – holiness – righteousness of Jesus is GIFTED YOU by grace (unmerited favor you cannot earn through human effort) through faith-trust-belief in Jesus as your Messiah (2 Corinthians 5:21) and the Father, by New Covenant promise, declares you “not guilty” (Hebrews 8:12) and the Father makes the affirmative decision to only see His dear Son IN YOU not your sin, not your frailty, not your wretchedness, but HIS SON’S PURITY and you are welcomed as a result of this imputed-gifted righteousness into the Family of Elohim and you subsequently belong to Him eternally, you are Elohim’s beloved child and nothing, no one, will ever snatch you out of His hand, forever (John 10:28-30). This is the truth, simplicity and veracity of the Gospel of Jesus our Messiah. Only Jesus is the Way and the Truth and the Life-eternal that paves the Path to Life in Eternity, the New Jerusalem (John 14:6).

New Covenant Salvation, Works & James’ confusing admonition – “faith without works is dead”

Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , ,
Concerning New Covenant Salvation, Works and the Apostle James’ confusing admonition…

James 2.26 “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”

Christian explanation,

Faith (noun) (belief – trust) that is true, confessed and sincerely placed in Messiah Jesus as our Lord engendering New Covenant relationship with the Father is not “dead” but alive, active, through the indwelling Holy Spirit and the veracity, reality, of this active faith is the production of divine fruit (Galatians 5:22-23) via the anointing and leadership of the Spirit (Galatians 5:16). Saving faith initiates behavior (fruit) that is pleasing to the Father (John 15:8) but behavior does not initiate New Covenant relationship; all things in their divine order – faith (noun) first then obedience that pleases the Father because that obedience is the resultant of the indwelling Holy Spirit who is ONLY given to those who have “believed” by faith that Jesus is Messiah (Ephesians 1:13-14).

You cannot put the cart before the horse and expect results. Faith first…obedience follows; otherwise, our work is interpreted as a “filthy garment” in Elohim’s nose (Isaiah 64:6) and our Lord Jesus will declare “Depart from me you workers of iniquity, I never knew you” if you seek the Kingdom by your own efforts and deny the work performed for you by Messiah at Golgotha (Matthew 7:21-23).

Relationship FIRST by faith (noun) in the Son, Jesus our Messiah – righteous behavior follows via the anointing of the indwelling Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16; Ezekiel 36:27).

In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.

Why is the “law of conscience” in the New Covenant vastly-infinitely superior to Sinai or Moses?

Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , , , ,

Why is the “law of conscience” (Romans 2:14-15) as arbitrated by the indwelling Holy Spirit in the New Covenant vastly-infinitely superior to Sinai’s Commandments or Moses’ 603 edicts scratched upon parchment?

Discussion,

The law written upon the heart is extant concerning moral edicts that are employed by the indwelling Holy Spirit in the New Covenant to address every moral scenario confronted by the Christian, daily…every second of every day.

This is why the law as written upon the heart and arbitrated by the Holy Spirit in the New Covenant is eternally and vastly superior to Sinai or Moses’ codified-written laws as Sinai and Moses’ written code is subject to various interpretations, obfuscation, justification, rationalization, by the sin-nature but NOT SO with the law as written upon the heart and arbitrated by the indwelling Holy Spirit in the New Covenant as even the most minute of conflict concerning a daily moral encounter or scenario is immediately addressed by the Spirit within the Christian…the conscience is immediately given direction toward righteousness…there is no equivocation…there is no doubt about what is the “right thing” to do in any given moral encounter even though the individual is free to choose good or evil; in this way, the Christian learns over time that the right thing is to always choose good and honor the Father through obedience because the redeemed conscience controlled by the Spirit demands it and if and when the Christian sins by rejecting the Spirit’s guidance, their conscience becomes beleaguered; their conscience is plagued by guilt and consequently, intimacy with our Creator is disrupted until we repent of our disobedience and ask forgiveness to restore intimacy (1 John 1:9); intimacy with our Creator being the greatest gift to humanity through faith.

This intuitive work of the Spirit through the conscience of the redeemed in Jesus is why the law of conscience, extant from eternity past as an arbiter of free will, is infinitely superior to a written-codified code weakened by the sin-nature (Romans 8; 1-3).

Concerning “Perfect Faith” through works…what is the Truth?

Concerning “perfected faith” through works…what is the Truth?

Discussion,

To those legalists who mock my position of salvation by grace through faith (noun) apart from works, you’re theologically corrupted. 

No need to be “sorry”…just get your theology squared away and trust fully in Jesus and His suffering on your account for salvation, not yourself or your works. There is no “perfected faith” in humanity other than that faith which engenders New Covenant relationship with the Father by faith (noun) in the Son and the “perfection” of faith is only relevant due the Father’s grace who accepts our flawed faith as perfect faith for His eschatological purposes.  

Breaking NEWS:

The creation of the Heavens and the Earth and the complex human genome do not find their relevance in humanity but in Elohim’s perfect eschatological will concerning the defeat of Satan and the fallen angles (1 John 3:8b); humanity is but a player in that struggle via the Gospel of Jesus Christ ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-9); therefore, know your lowly position in the Realm of Time and concede to the Father’s eschatological imperatives lest you become haughty and arrogant and self-righteous. 

You are filthy flesh who is offered imputed perfection by grace in response to faith (noun) in the PERFECT Messiah. You can’t earn it, you don’t deserve it, but Elohim’s grace is sufficient for the one willing to “believe” and “trust” in Jesus as blood atonement for sin.  

It is the “new creation” in Messiah (2 Corinthians 5:17) that walks by the anointing of the indwelling Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16) and allows the Spirit to work through them via the production of divine “fruit” (Galatians 5:22-23) which fulfills all law and all righteous works…this is NOT a work of the flesh but of the Spirit; a divine work that glorifies the Father, not ourselves (John 15:8).

Saved from death in Hell by faith (alone) or by works + faith?

Religion - Christianity, , , , , ,
Someone said that “Faith alone did not save Noah, he also had to build the Ark.”

Question: Did Ark building save Noah or did Noah build the Ark because Noah was saved by Faith?

Was Abraham saved by faith in Genesis 15:6 or by his works in Genesis 26:5

Was the thief on the cross next to Jesus saved by works or by faith in Jesus as Lord (Luke 23:39-43)?

Christian response…

Grace through faith-belief (noun) ALONE saves the soul from death in Hell when that faith is placed in Jesus as one’s Messiah who died for them (John 3; Romans 4:4-5) . If that faith (noun) is true, legitimate, the individual will receive the indwelling Holy Spirit as Guarantor of New Covenant promise with the Father (Ephesians 1:13-14); therefore, the redeemed man or woman will naturally produce good works (fruits of the Spirit – Galatians 5:22-23; John 15:8) that validate that saving faith.

It is a foolish argument and one that leads to dissension among the brethren when quoting James and faith and works (James 2:26) void prefacing a discussion of James and saving faith with an understanding of the true Gospel of Grace. If your works, human behavior, could save you, Jesus died in vain (Galatians 2:21).

Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due. 5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness,
