I do not care what anyone thinks about the Word of God and the reason for that is, I believe in it with all my heart! It is enough for me to be saved to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, because through HIS Holy Word, I KNOW what is to come, in the near future and distant future! How do I know this? I have seen the Lord working in my life, far before I was ever born! I have seen the pain and suffering of those before me and that is how I came about. What is so unique, is that anyone can know this, in their own lives! BUT…it requires knowing Jesus Christ, it requires HIS Word to us, it requires that you sit down and begin to learn how to “think”rather than living according to a string of thoughts. Unique concept right?

“According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love” (Ephesians 1:4).

The Father knew each of us before the creation of the universe! That my friends, is an awesome thing to understand─for HIM to know what each of us are going to do…LONG before we were ever created! I simply have a problem, fully realizing and understanding that concept, but I understand enough of it to believe it to be absolute truth!

What now concerns me is when some people ask if this is “predestination.” In part, I would say, yes, and then again in another part, I must say, no. Here is why: First, God is more awesome than anyone of us would be able to conceive HIM to be. HE is far beyond our ability to comprehend because we are given a “finite” mind. In other words we are only able to visualize just so much in our minds and then that is it. If you wonder why that is, think in terms of “faith.” Our Father wants you and me to come to HIM using simple faith in HIM. For the majority, that is too big a task, they choose the “route of least resistance.” H.G. Wells said, “The path of least resistance is the path of the loser.” That is something one needs to truly consider, which again requires “thinking.”

“The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good” (Psalm 14:1).

If I may, take notice that there is nothing stated here in the verse, about whether this refers to ones who are thinking or living by strings of thought. I would have to assume, that when one thinks of what is in his or her heart, they would be in the habit of “thinking” about those things. Although I may digress. We must also remit that the “fool” does NOT think in any terms whatsoever, otherwise he would not be a fool. Make sense? I must admit, I prefer to mull everything over and again and again. I wish to know and understand and this requires deep thought. Is this predestination or not?

Obviously, God knows we choose the answer to that, by what we hold dear in our hearts. Therefore, if one chooses nonsense, the Lord God does nothing to help or change you, yet the opposite is true of the person who wants help in life’s trials and tribulations, God does provide, accordingly. Again it is by our own “choice” that we come to the Lord God for salvation. Of course this is a well thought-out decision.

Contrary to many, this is not totally one way, in other words it is not strictly, predestination. It is God the Father, knowing what our entire life will be like and still giving each individual the ability to hear God’s holy Word and then to reflect on those merits of HIS Word, in our life. Ultimately, it is an individual choice and the results are confirmed upon the individual’s death.

It is like saying that our Lord and Father in heaven already knew that Yasser Arafat would never accept HIS free will gift of Jesus Christ, simply because Jesus was a Jew. Yasser Arafat hated the Jews, simply because they were Jews, instinctively Yasser Arafat knew the Jews are God’s chosen people, whether he would have admitted to that or not. It is most odd, that the majority choose eternal destruction, because of ethnicity, religious difference, or global locale. Thusly, ignorance is NOT bliss!

I have stated before that the Word of God, as knowledge being embedded in our hearts is that narrow road to heaven─that FEW will ever find. And indeed, we see this bear fruit in today’s society. The only thing we lack in terms with the days of Noah (prior to the flood) are the giant offspring walking about. Although, it could be said that the enormous egos of some would suffice in regard to giants. I must confess, by the way many people shun the Word of God or anything else in reference to the Lord, the days of the Tribulation will be exponential suffering! I would be willing to say that the “Great Delusion of God” will be such that once things start getting bad for those left behind, it would be worse than anyone of us would be able to bear! And yet, each individual has their own choice to make.

I always question people, where do they wish to spend eternity after they die, and of course all say they want to go to heaven. Problem is, they choose every way other than the one way that will get them to where they wish to be: heaven. Then the moment you bring in the Bible to help them understand, they turn everything off and choose not to hear. So now we are back to the first question again, baring a fight breaking out, they continue to run around the same fruitless tree over and over again, never once moving a single millimeter closer to heaven. Jesus Christ is that answer and they don’t like that!

I have a problem understanding what they are afraid of admitting, that they have SIN in their lives or that someone is going to call them a “Bible Thumper” or the like. Thing is, you tell them the Bible is the authoritative Word of God and then the excuses why they believe it is not, start to emerge. Suffice to say, they are able to come up with some pretty strange ideas and never will they allow you to show them that they are wrong or how different the Word of God is, compared to how they think it is.

The best one may be able to do is to ask them, Where would you like to go after you die? How important is it to you that you get to where you want to go? Do you know what path is required to get to heaven? And finally, are you sure that path you are going to follow is going to get you to where you want to be? Understand that these questions are going to be difficult for them to express in ANY manner, because most don’t know and would rather not approach the subject to begin with.

It would be more like, they HOPE, they have the right idea and just get there somehow. Responsibility requires a thought out action, something few are willing to do, because it requires the work of thinking. Oddly enough, salvation requires nothing except to admit you are a SINNER and to go to the cross of Jesus Christ an have HIS blood cover your SIN and the knowledge Jesus Christ is alive in heaven. One never has to even raise so much as a finger for this to take place! Why is it so hard for them?

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life”(John 3:16).

How odd, in these days of crisis and difficulty, like those of the Boston Marathon terrorist attack, that few understand that life has not changed since Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden. Life is tough, difficult at best and peculiar in strange ways that we do not understand, but it is always through our SIN.

King Solomon said it best in Ecclesiastes 1.1-4:

“The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun? One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.”

For whatever reason, we simply can not see past ourselves! For a number of years, King Soloman tried to find contentment or purpose of this life, in every imaginable way there is and yet, he failed, as does every person who endeavors to live without Jesus Christ in their lives. Albert Einstein once said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome each time?” How unusual is it, that we never learn the same thing?

We go about killing each other and over the years since Adam and Eve, we have done nothing more than to learn how to kill in a more surgical manner. It must be that it is easier for us to accept someone dying in a more clinical manner, as if that would make it alright to do so. Take for example abortions, which we commit in a surgical manner, thinking that because we are so careful and so clean in the effort, no one is harmed (Except for the baby!). Since it is within the confines of a surgical “suite” performed by someone who is a physician, then it’s just another medical “event.” Nothing to worry about and no one got their hands dirty, right? WRONG!

Who are we, that we should flip our collective noses at the one and only God that created the baby to begin with? Who are we, that we should fire rockets at a house, where such and such are and care so little as to the outcome of everyone in that house, whom God Almighty created? Who are we, to think we have the authority to commit euthanasia of our elderly?! Who are we, to that we think we have the ability to do such thingswith impunity, never once considering the ultimate authority of God Almighty or HIS Holy Word─the Bible? The ARROGANCE!

We have pictures and video, showing the pain and suffering of an unborn baby, in the midst of an abortion and we arrogantly call ourselves civilized. We have laws that define when a baby is a person and when they are not, therefore we can exterminate that life accordingly. Snipping the spine of an unborn baby or tearing the limbs of a baby apart with saline under pressure, is okay, it’s a professional medical procedure, right?

And then we have clinics and funds available from our taxes that will pay for this “unwanted fetus” to be destroyed. Notice the words, please: Fetus, unwanted, destroyed, terminated pregnancy — and the list goes on and on. We like those kind of words, simply because they keep us from having to declare we are committing “premeditated murder.” How horrible of us to have to admit to committing such a heinous act, as murder.That way we don’t have to think about killing someone that does not have the ability to defend themselves! Yuppers, we are so very civilized, we are so very thoughtful and caring!

Someone jumps in bed with whomever and has unprotected sex, because of a lack of self-control and because there is no God, no Bible, nothing that tells them they are allowed to do this but not that! Next thing you know, there is a  pregnanacy! “Lord have mercy! We can’t have that, “It will ruin my figure or cause me undue stress and difficulty in life!”

So there ya go, an abortion is so easy, so clean, best of all…no one has to know, right?

What is so wrong with that? The daddy doesn’t have to get all involved or pay out a bunch of money. Momma does not loose her figure, no one has to spend their life raising some brat! And what’s more? She can get it done and not pay out a single penny for it! Oh, wow, doesn’t that sound just wonderful? One day, the girl passes away…dies. What is going to be her excuse if she faces that child for the first time, in eternity? Even worse, how will she explain that abortion, as she stands before the all-knowing, all righteous God?!

Now we are not going to let that girl stand alone for the pregnancy. It’s true she must carry that child for nine months and then deliver it, usually in a painful manner. What about the daddy? One day he dies, passes on, maybe years have gone by. What is he to say to the child if he meets that child for the very first time? What if the child was a little girl? “Where were you daddy when they killed me? Why didn’t you rush to save me and let me live? Where was your love for me, why didn’t you protect me?” (I guess I am saying this because I am a daddy to two daughters.) It should be said for a boy and a girl! How does the daddy explain to the child, that he just didn’t love the child? Oh…the heartbreak of it all!

This is the way life is here on earth these days! You ask the individual and it will always come back to you as, “well I wanted a life too!” Brothers and Sisters, I am going to say it again:

“It’s all about ME!”

And the abortions go on and on…and NO ONE CARES! BUT…we are so civilized, right? And it is not always about abortions, there are so many other ways that we have learned to kill others. The Bible says that the Lord sees the heart. It is the intent of the heart that matters. Why is this such a difficult thing for everyone to understand?

Let’s lay things out as the Bible does─in your face, so to speak. If a man looks at a woman with lust in his eyes, he has already committed fornication, or adultery, with her If anyone thinks of killing another in their heart, they have already committed murder! Is it obvious enough, that ANY Intent of the heart is an act already committed! I have paraphrased the verses but that is exactly what the Bible means and these are the words from God’s own mouth to our ears! My Mom and Dad used to enjoy putting 50 cent words together in a saying. Example: “My sufficiency is quite surrencified, any more would be obnoxious to my superfluidity.” Yeah, I know. WHAT? It simply means, “I am full — any more and I’ll be sick.”

They just enjoyed doing this, besides that they were excellent Scrabble players, too. My point is, it doesn’t matter what words you use to define something, anything actually, there is always a basic way of saying it, call it what it really is. This is not how we do things in this day and age, we are way too busy being “politically correct” in our verbiage and it’s usually just a way of covering up some act that we don’t want anyone else to take any notice of. “Well, I am not really lying, I am simply saying things in a slightly different manner!” Nope! That is not what you’re doing…You are telling a lie! Call it what it really is, a LIE! Can you imagine for a moment, how things would be, if the “powers that be,” actually told the truth?

I tell others that “I do NOT lie, I do NOT cheat and I do NOT steal!” Is this the truth? In all honesty, it is not true! I pay my taxes, just like everyone else does, but I also know in my heart that some of my taxes go to pay for abortions. Therefore, I have a hand in committing murder of unborn babies! How horrible to be forced to know this…My Lord and Savior, please forgive me of my SIN!

Our SIN separates us from the Lord! It is HIS blood that brings us back to HIM!
