Three question asked

The following question was posted on a board below you will find my responses to the questions posed. I must point out that after my responses the questioneer pointed out that the ten were unethical imoral evil and cruel that exchange will follow:

Will a sinner go to heaven

1.What scriptures backup people entering the Kingdom of God and or Heaven with their SIN with them?
Answer: none
2. I challenge all to tell me who they are; and where in the HOLY BIBLE you can find these scriptures?
Answer: I am who I am, and there are no scriptures that say in any way say a sinner can enter into heaven.
3. In other words, do SINNERS GO TO HEAVEN?
Answer: NO
Christ sheep those called by his name will enter into eternal life. So it say within the word. One must repent of ones sins and not do them again. One can be tempted but not by God and one can always say no to the temptation. All one need do is ask. Those who are his sheep believe he is the living son of God.
Those who are his keep his commands and decrees not as work but as guideline reminders for their daily life.

In final response to question two:
I believe in the following: every man woman who works should have at least one day off per week I prefer two myself.
I believe that honoring or respecting my parent is the right thing to do
I believe I should not cheat on my wife,it might really make her mad and cost me my happy home
I believe murder is wrong but hey the many who say the ten are evil and vile, well I many be wrong.
I believe that to lie is wrong, but again so many disagree
I believe that stealing is wrong.And again I am called silly for holding this opinion.
I believe it is wrong to be jealous of what someone else has. But as I keep pointing out so many tell me I am a fool for this opinion also.

Now I skipped the first three so as not to anger you. But what God have I forced on you? What God has any Christian forced on anyone? I believe in Jesus and the ways he taught, that is all the God I need or want.
However many people worship football teams musicians and some worship other gods, Its their and your own choice, go and be happy.
Now having said that I do not use my Gods name when I swear, I try real hard not to swear. But I am human so dam does slip out now and then.
Finally some people get very violent if you insult their favorite team or player.So I guess the first three could be said pick your own god and place it here.
And to conclude I pray to Christ just as so many others pray to their respective teams or chosen idols.
And sir never have I, nor will I ever, force or tell you how to ever live.

You asked the three questions .

A guide for dummies; those of us not so wise on Faith and Religion

Religion and or Faith have many meanings depending on who you ask.

These two words invoke in many the same idea yet are in reality far removed from each other as the east is from the west. However man has mixed up the two mostly to impose his order on others.


Religion is composed of like minded men and women who desire to follow certain ideas set forward by certain men. There is no reason to debate which of the Christian orders is superior to the other for they all have a central core which many among them adhere to.


Faith belongs to religions, justifies its followers, and even faith is made composed of many groups or types of faith, all define them selves and it as either pro religion or anti religion. The many of the pro side belong to the many churches with all their varied ways. Those anti to religion can be found on college campuses they are the highly learned they view themselves as superior too those of the blue collar nature lower middle management or simply anyone not in their chosen clique.


Anti religion deniers of their faith:

This growing group of anti or antagonist of the faithful; those who proclaim: I have no faith I have no religion. A group who claim most vehemently; we have no religion thus we have no faith. Yet they do! It is just as much a religion as any other with all the earmarks, all the trappings as all the rest. But they are blind to and refuse to see, are deaf to even their own words; so fail also to hear. These people are well learned but see man as the pinnacles of all not as a well formed and loved creation of a loving God but as an animal no better than their dogs cats or myriad other pets. As animals man should have no limits on his acts or actions. Morality is what one chooses it to be at a certain time place or event. There is no good or bad. No black and white all is gray...........


Pro religion defenders of their faith:


This group composed of many varied groups have in kind devotion to faith in the promise made by the one; The Lord the savior the Christ Jesus. Their faith their religion can be summed up in one word Love.


For this small group there is black and white without the gray, morality matters it is set and fixed, and there really is good and bad. This the last makes us sad. This group is found with-in and with-out all the religions. Yes, some shall, will be found in that group now anti to the Christ when the time comes.


Quick summation of faith:


A Christian will say I have faith, the antagonist says I have none so both are doing they are in exact polar opposition to each other. But are they? They each have faith in something they can not see or prove conclusively to one another. That is the nature the innate quality of faith; it is the hope for the desire for the promise yet to be something hoped for.


However one group will seek always to show its self superior to the other, so it asks questions to elicit an answer they then attack they pick they chose one line out of context to prove a point. Just as one of their own will use a fragment of a bone a scratch on a rock and say eureka a line only to be proven wrong once again. For found among those few fragments are things rejected for they do not fit the precise idea that they seek to prove.


Religion: a place where a man or woman feels safe among friends.


Religions all however are structured unwavering and ridged. Most clergy most scientists, churches and Colleges are also, these two groups; who often now stand in opposition to one another were once interchangeable in their very purest of natures.

So when I hear man or woman says boldly I have no faith, I have no religion I know I am hearing one of the most ardent defenders of any faith of any religion ever. Be it however the polar opposite of mine.

Likewise when I hear someone declare I am a Christian I have come to wonder; for I know who I am I do not need to say such things but for them and many others this is their rally point like the symbol scratched in the sand that say we are tougher, we are one. Most always this comes from one not sure of themselves seeking interaction. This also applies to those anti to religion or faith


I show my belief in the Christ in how I live and interact with all men. In pointing this truth out, one arouses the anger of the defender and the declarer, the anti faithful for in their hearts they do so think that denial and declaring is a way of being; When it is in fact a way of accepting. Yes, all who deny are in fact in and of a religion are defenders of their faith as are those who like the Pharisee declared in the market or the temple court I am a righteous man look at me. They prattle on, tear down others while their faith their religion they up lift.


So the end of the matter is thus:


The faithful shall go on religion shall still grow one group is for the Christ the other it is not. In this war of words patients love compassion will win out; when foul words the anti does shout out. Thank them bless them remind them all that Christ has faith in them. For the truth is he is calling blessed is he who takes the time to see and listen.


An after thought:


If science is right on the following that our universe is winding down and that at some point in the future all the lights will go out: they call this theory entropy. Now if one reads a bible one knows that the world the heavens the stars above are in decline and that at some point all will go out, we just have a reason sin which caused death to enter in so all things are now in decline. But these two Ideas can and do state the very same thing. Darwin took notes on the changes in the species in isolated areas they neither lost or gained genetic information but certain things were turned off, the markers the genes still are present this was done in order to adapt to specific areas. They were still bird’s lizards and so on; some birds had bigger beaks the lizard a different color or ate different food. This is called adaptation. This is no different from the statement found which says each after its own kind.


Science says mixing of differing species or kinds can not work as does the bible with a short line of each after its own kind, for the mixing of horse and donkey produces a sterile offspring not a viable new creature but a sterile Mule. But one sadly doomed to be first and last of its family line. Saber tooth tigers look a lot like ligers a mix of lion and tiger a huge animal can stand over nine feet on its hind legs full grown and it has some long teeth. There is a saying if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck; well. I am not a scientist I am what a man of science calls a fool but who knows.


Science denied many animals such as the silver back apes well into the twentieth century calling the natives ignorant and barbaric for saying such things, for they had concluded that man was the greatest ape and none could be his equal but also their theory said it was impossible.


Yet Genesis allows for the existence of the great apes and many other creatures that science denies. All of this is taken on faith.



Simple truths about submission

I have modified my respones for this forurm the following was in response to a young woman in need of an answer on a diffcut matter submission but also divorce and loss. I wrote directly to the sites moderator first then gave my responses. I must state here I did this only after much thought and prayer.
Thank you

To the moderator I tried to keep it short these are things my sisters have dealt with over the years and answers my Father gave them. They suffered the same guilt as seems present in the writer. I was taught to do these things: there are many women of virtue found in the word; teaching of them and their actions is lacking.

The young woman asked a number of questions so I have numbered them and responded as well as is possible in hope the answers will be of aid.

1. Why the fatherless and the widow?

It is care for the widow and orphans and the poor among you

2 . What happens to those single women in particular in the kingdom without any man due to divorce? Or loss due to death.

In the kingdom the righteous woman shall receive her reward.

That is an easy one answered by the Christ when talking to the Pharisee; for you do not understand in the kingdom none is taken nor given in marriage.

When asked about divorce he explained or asked them what does the law say? Mosses said to write a bill of divorce, Christ then said God allowed this for he knew and knows the callousness of the human heart.

`

3. Where do they turn for their submission to order?

They turn to the lord Jesus the Christ their high priest their savior the head of us all. Submission does not mean you are a mindless slave it means you give due honor respect and trust in him.

In Corinthians Paul gives notice to and guidelines about the duties of a husband what the wife’s response should be and finishes with telling the husband to do more, You will find that Paul writes as do the Prophets and in the Psalms that we should not provoke our children to anger, But if you care to read the book of Proverbs chapter 31 it will enlighten you greatly. It tells of the virtuous wife, what she does for her family. Many read these words many have written about them but few note that she is the business manager the money keeper and the mistress of the house her husband supports her in all her ways and he is called blessed. And her children admire respect and honor her.

She is in authority as we all are and she is in submission owing due honor and respect to those above her.

4. God is very clear that a woman and the children should be under the authority of a man. Reinforced by repeatedly saying; how we should take care of the widow and orphans.

Through out the word of God the people were told were reminded to aid the poor give to the widow feed the orphan. The story of Ruth and Naomi gives a great teaching on this. How Boaz treated them, his and their role in the life of the Christ but more importantly it presents the redeeming of those who were lost and had nothing. Ruth was a picture of the wild branch that was grafted in. She submitted to Boaz as her mother in law directed; Boaz knowing who she was and who her mother in law was watched over and protected her as one with great authority before and without any expectations.

We should care for the poor as Christ said to his disciple for they are always with you. It is written that in the house in the family of God that none should be in lack or want. In the book of Acts it is said that they gathered on the first day the eat and distribute among the brethren that which was pledged so as none among them were in lack or want.

Yes, we are to feed our brother and see to their needs.

Your last is a long question the gap was not created so mach as made by poor choice by both men and women; for women as much as men leave marriages. The loss of the faith the rejection of the word for new age repackaged get wealthy teaching has caused a lot of harm. For Christians Paul teaches that if ones spouse is an unbeliever and wishes to stay then do so if not then part ways. Today we have just as many broken families absent the wife as the husband both are necessary.

Deborah was prophetess in the time of the judges a leader of the Israelites, she talked with God she walked with God. But when it came time for war she submitted that authority to a man. Who in turn questioned her and she passed on what God had said since you doubt the word of the most high God ,then a woman shall find the enemy out.

Our society has rejected and has in many ways blessed single parenthood as good young women now view having a child out of wedlock as a rite of passage as a statement of I am an adult, you must respect me; This as much happening in the church as it is outside the church.

5. Submitting to ones earthly father?

When I as an adult had questions, I prayed, I went to my father my mother; I asked their advice, each of my sisters as they found them selves in situations went to the parents for advise aid council. My father is passed now he sleeps in Christ, now I am in his place so I do as he did..

Submit does not mean bow down it means respect honor love. It is the role of the father the husband to insure that the woman achieves her goals and to insure she receive the honor she is due.

6. Who shall teach them? You now ask:

Teachers in their church, must a woman have a man to complete her life? Deborah did not she submitted to God. We all submit to God who follow the ways of the Christ.

7. What about the single mother and her children; who find the father has left or passed.

They are never out from under the authority of their heavenly Father, their lord their savior Jesus the Christ. For they never left nor rejected Gods design or plan.

Remember :

Guilt is not to be placed on the children for the acts or actions of the father. Nor is the woman guilty of an offense. Guilt lies with the one who committed the act.

Comment on a word lets say no. too the N

C.A.N.N. we talk?

Negro Native American Asian Caucasian all describe groups of peoples with various shades of color. It is men with narrow minds who perceive them as good or bad, the ignorant use key words to separate and divide. I was born in America I am an American, my friends are American my relative are American, I do not care from where they came or the shade they are or another outward body types. What I care about is that which is on the inside, their moral character.

So I guess I like or enjoy being a member of C.A.N.N. of America; for we can do nothing without each other, we are all in this together.

Mr. King had a dream, I see that dream full filled all around. Yet narrow minds living in the past do not. It seems when the children are left alone they do far better than those who claim to know what they need.

I have come to an oddity of a conclusion. race is something we all run, the race is something we defend, and the race is never finished until all men can win.

My religion

My religion has ten major points of teaching which are things I choose to do, it has two decrees which are nessary to the whole of my faith; they intern define the ten and declare the truth of the one. There is one command given all who accept this burden by our Lord Jesus the Christ.

That is: to do as he has done; live as I have lived.


True compassion was found at the cross; these words are found in the word: there is no greater love than a man lay down his life for another.


It does not say for an insult, a piece of land, a wallet or a cross word; it does not say for only your Mother father brother sister or family; no it says openly another a stranger anyone! Yes a person you do not know.


For all life is sacred. Taking of life is to be avoided.


For my religion, my faith is built upon a sure foundation; it has a key cornerstone which the world now rejects; however embodied therein in the few in this one; one finds all that and more.
