March 27, 2024, 12:55:24 pm Mark says: Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked  When Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaida began a speech marking the 100th day of the war in Gaza, one confounding yet eye-opening proclamation escaped the headlines. Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant group's Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of "bringing red cows" to the Holy Land.

September 24, 2017, 10:45:16 pm Psalm 51:17 says: The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”
September 20, 2017, 04:32:32 am Christian40 says: "The most popular Hepatitis B vaccine is nothing short of a witch’s brew including aluminum, formaldehyde, yeast, amino acids, and soy. Aluminum is a known neurotoxin that destroys cellular metabolism and function. Hundreds of studies link to the ravaging effects of aluminum. The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

Read this passage this evening - which everyone here should be very familiar with, however, imho, this is probably the most crucially important passage for any believer.

1Jn 2:14  I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
1Jn 2:15  Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
1Jn 2:16  For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
1Jn 2:17  And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever
.

This is one passage(among many very important ones) that Churchianity ends up ignoring. Anyhow, yeah, this passage is what it is - you can rationalize all you want over how you read your bible every day, pray every day, etc, etc. But if you work toward these career-minded jobs and focus on them, again, this passage of scripture is what it is. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever, there's NO way in trying to bargain your way out of this. I will admit(like I've said numerous times here) I've been down this road, and I've even went as far as tithing more than 10% thinking it would get the job done - still felt incredibly empty in my heart. Again, very crucial passage.

And then look at the passages that come right after this, and even though it switches gears a bit, again, look what it says...

1Jn 2:18  Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

Interestering this passage is thrown here right after - just remember all those other passages where Jesus warns us to WATCH, where Jesus warns us how we have MANY adversaries coming after us, and then that 2nd The 2 passage where it talks about the "strong delusion" being thrown at those who do not accept the love of the truth(as well as the rise of the end times antichrist). So if we love this world and the things thereof in it, including the lusts thereof...we won't be watching...we won't be discerning...you see where this is going? Seriously, no wonder why Churchianity today has so many WOLVES in their church buildings. So ultimately, if we don't have the love of the Father in us, but following the lusts of this world, will we be watching and discerning over the many adversaries that are coming after us? Don't think so.

For those that DO have the love of the truth...

1Jn 2:20  But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
1Jn 2:21  I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
1Jn 2:22  Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
1Jn 2:23  Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
1Jn 2:24  Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father
.

So Jesus says he has written us these things b/c we KNOW the truth. Hhmmmmm...........again, anyone can read their bibles for hours all they want, but if one puts alot of their time into their careers, does anyone think they know the truth, or have even accepted the love of the truth? Again, like I said above, I've been down this road before, and have fooled myself so many times.
