Hope in the Lord
My computer went bad so I am now on my old thing but I am not typing in the thing I am used to but I am not going to make you suffer and not know what is going on with my life and faith. My faith is helpful in the hard time so I am going to be lifting Jesus name and his work tonight. It is him alone I give any honor to. It has been a good week but the Lord is so good to me and I love him for it. Jesus is going to only give me what I am able to deal with. It makes my wonder how people without the Lord cope with life in general and make the hard calls and get thur sane. I do not see how people cope without Jesus because I know I would not be able to. Look at this passage
1 Peter 3 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; 16 having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed. 17 For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.
We are to make the hope of Jesus something to use to bring others to his name. We set our hearts apart for use of making Jesus Famous with meekness and fear. It is a gentle thing and that meek heart is one the Lord is going to use to attract people to Jesus. Hop is the assurance of knowing who we are in Jesus and the knowledge of trusting Jesus.
I want to focus tonight on hope.
Where is Hope to be found?
In God
Ps 39 7 “And now, Lord, what do I wait for?
My hope is in You.
It is a grand thing to know that we hope in a God who is always worthy of my hope and love. Also look here in 1 peter
1 peter 1 17 And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear; 18 knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. 20 He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you 21 who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God
God is our dad and we need to act in a way that who’s us that is who he is. God is asking us to love him here and act like we know him. We are not people that were just hope we need to give that hope to others and show it is in us. We are paid for by the blood of Jesus and that makes us so much more hopeful. Jesus gave us so much and heaven is going to be so much. Our hope rests in a dad who gave everything he had so that he could bring us to himself. So hope is to be in Jesus and his love and we need to show the hope we have to the world.
I want to make 2 more points: Hope is given to us in the Gospel and when ask Jesus to save you. If your not the Lords your hope is in nothing.
Col 1 3 We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 4 since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all the saints; 5 because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel, 6 which has come to you, as it has also in all the world, and is bringing forth fruit, as it is also among you since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth;
Hope is given in Patience’s and in reading his word.
Ps 119 1 My soul faints for Your salvation,
But I hope in Your word.
82 My eyes fail from searching Your word,
Saying, “When will You comfort me?”
1 Peter 3 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; 16 having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed. 17 For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

Let you not be troubles
I know a few things about life. I know God is good and has a plan for me and it going to make me his kid no matter what. I know that Jesus cares about me and is here to help me grow. I know that spme people for me are not in Gods plan. I am sad but I am getting better and I urge us all to pray for folks that really are sad. Jesus said a interesting thing, Let not your hearts be troubled
John 14 1 Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.”[1]
Why am I not to be troubled, because I have a place Jesus is going to bring me to when I am done here. If this is not true Jesus is not going to give me hope in the Land of perfection. It is a land where Jesus is going to mend every friendship forever and more. It is a place I long to be because we live is a sad place. I know things might not be all that great but in the sceem of time one day all this is going to be gone and the Lord is going to heal me of CP and give me back all the things he wants and I am going to have friends all restored forever. It is a good thing to fall into the hands of the living God because if you know him he is going to care for you and hold tightly to my heart and me and bring his plan and the Bs are not the plan he has. Pray for me

Pray needed
It is hard to say good-bye but it is what I have done with the Bueschers. To keep pursuing them makes me still wanting Erin and I do not need her in any way. I know this that they do not hate me. They want the best for me and that means freedom from the bondage. To say I am As is the truth but I know being stuck on someone that does not have the same feeling for is also not good. I want something in my flesh that is not right and that is sin. I need to find Jesus to be safe inside his refuge and go on a adventure to places I have never been, I wish it were not the way it is but it is for God that I need to live and not for a gal 2000 miles away. I done it wrong and my sadness is on my heart but I have to want to get better and get on to where God wants, not what I want. So all who read this pray foer me not to go back and hurt more but to allow the hope on High to hide me forever and get me to heaven where it is going to be far better

I am going to keep working on the book of Hebrews. I had fun with my main Pal Rick in the big city but I lost my ticket to go home and they were sold out. Jesus is faithful and I got another ticket and a kick in my pants. I got to keep that ticket secured. He reminded my of the need to get the Good news to Korea. We all need to get Jesus to every part of the world. I ate at famous daves and had a salad with Rib on it. We went to Grace Church in Edina and the bookshop had John Macarthur books and the message was good. Saw a friend Kelly from CCC so Rick I love your church and think Piper has some series competitors.
Hebrew 10 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.[1]
In Our bible many folks have seen God. Moses saw God at the fire and he was scared because God said to bow because it was holy God. Isaiah saw God and declared himself dead. Peter saw Jesus and when he knew who Jesus was he told Jesus to go away for Peter was a sinful man. So it is indeed a fearful thing to see God. It is fearful sometimes to think of being the place where God dwells. If you are a saved person the bible said God dwells or lives inside of you. That is good but it makes me wonder if that makes us fear. I mean in this age of grace it makes me a bit more mindful of the things I might do or say. Jesus who is the Lord is living inside of me and I am blessed and wish to honor the King.
In tonights passage we see it is not fun to fall into the hands of God. In context Paul has been talking about the Judgement side Of God. God is a Judge and one day he is going to see you in his courtroom and he is going to look at your life and if Jesus is not in it your going to spend eternal life without Jesus in a place called hell. I have talked a lot about that and if you read this go back and find it on here. But I want to have us think on the fact that as the Lords kids we get the honor of him living inside of us. In the Psalms David would always say who can go inside of Gods home. Well I am Gods home. God dwells inside of me and I think I need to make sure my life is his and my heart is his. This Judgement thing is for the redeemed to. We are going to give account and if Jesus lives inside I need to clean my life up. For me it means to not diss his Church no matter who it is. It means keeping a good smile on. It means to share Jesus and share him fully. And it means to trust him.

I knew that
I bumped into Erin Buescher and she never hated me (I knew that) I went in to panera here in the Minnikeapolis after I went trying to get my card in my photo thing cleaned off. I was shocked. She said I could mail her once in a great mile. I think the key is just to email the blog to her and let her read it as she wants. It has to be where she does not become bigger than she is. Her mom told me I am not in trouble but it is Jesus rewarding me for being faithful to seek him and serve him. It is true that Jesus does reward the things I do and the things I seek for. If Jesus os the rewarder of the pursuit than I need to do it all the more.
I told my pal Jason the end of the war is going to be when Jesus comes basck and he told me I am wrong. Well for all of you and the record allow me to share how I think war is going to end. Jesus is going to take us home. If your not his then your not going to be in that number. It is called the Rapture. After that the world is going to become a one world goverment and this is going to be headed by the anti christ. This one is going to demand you take some kind of mark and your not going to be able to eat or buy if you do not have it. If your saved your going to die in this time and yes Jesus is still going top offer his offer of salvation. After this time Jesus is going to come to the earth and clean house and all the evil is going to be placed in Hell and Jesus is going to rule the world. He is going to restore life to the point of perfection. But even then folks are going to reject Jesus and not seek his love. So at the end of this time saten is going to be released for a time and all the people are going to go with him to the lake of fire. It is going to be the last day and your going to be there. God is going to judge you on works and if your notr perfect your going to be in the fire of hell forever. But if you have Jesus your going to be found with his record and all your sins are going to be gone and you go to Glory forever.
Now I told you I got to see erin and that is a reward of the Lord. Now I know if you seek God alone your going to be able to be rewarded. Jesus does not ever not allow himself to be found and always will reward you if you seek. So seek him and find him and not just for reward bujt for life.

Get out of hell or die asap
Here is the truth when one fails to pay his electric bill one loses his computer. Thus the reason for talking to you in a place I am not normally at. I wonder what is like to be rich. I am not.
Heb 10 26Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received a full knowledge of the truth, there is no other sacrifice that will cover these sins. 27There will be nothing to look forward to but the terrible expectation of God's judgment and the raging fire that will consume his enemies.
Is this telling us that we can lose our salvation? No because it is not possible to lose I
Lets however think on what is he talking about. If you keep sinning after knowing the
Truth. If your reading this you know the truth and your asked to do the truth. It is the
Truth that you need to know Jesus as your king and lord. I do not see this talking to the
Elect people that have made the Lord Jesus king. If you know the truth and reject it you are in trouble. Let me urge you with this. If your want the worst hot places in hell know the truth and reject it because the people who are like this are going to be in a very hot hell. Jesus came and died and you know the truth and reject him, friend nothing is yours at that point but hell.
28Anyone who refused to obey the law of Moses was put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29Think how much more terrible the punishment will be for those who have trampled on the Son of God and have treated the blood of the covenant as if it were common and unholy. Such people have insulted and enraged the Holy Spirit who brings God's mercy to his people.
God does not tolerate anybody in the old times to live if they broke his laws. It was a death with no mercy for you in the old. When Adam ate he signed his death wish. One sin hung him. In the old you sassed off to your mom you died. It has changed however if you trample on Jesus God is going to give you hell and no mercy or hope. And hell for you is 10000 times worst than the people who did not know. If you not saved it is better for you to die asap because the longer you live the worst of hell you get because every single time you sin you gain more lower hell. I would hate to live knowing salvation as a 4 year old and reject for 96 years of God work and die. Hell is going to be hell times 96 for you. If your even think you will be ok after not embraceing Jesus it is going to be terror for you

Totality of the Catholic Church"According to Catholic doctrine the fullness of Christ’s heritage is found only in this outward, visible Church, with its headquarters in Rome.

read the bible fully
A friend to not say we need nuke North Korea confronted me. He told me that if I say that the love of Jesus is not in me and I am not going to be used by a God. Friends I am not going to give up this opinion for someone that is not God. I am not speaking as a Christian I am speaking as a man the sees the bombing of the nation as a good thing so they do not kill us. If we think it ok to just say God is going to take care of a nation if we do not get active as a people and defend the nation. I am not anti trust but maybe it is our job to take this nation and punish it. If people live there and support a bad leader it might needed to get them to throw the leader out. And for that matter God used war to punish people and I think people and nations that harm his people are bad and in need of some power of God in the sad way to hit them. Nuking a nation is not throwing Jesus out it is wanting to bring the truth to people who need it. God is going to judge me and my thoughts are going be seen in that time. Then people are going to get what I mean and did not mean. So do I like war? No I hate them. So do I want to kill other nations that do harm as I think someone needs to do? I think so and I think it is our job to pray for leaders and if they wish to harm people we take them out. Did God set leaders of nations? Yes but he also set nations to take them out if they insist in killing others.
Now I need to teach most of you a truth of bible reader. It is important that we read the whole text when we are learning the bible. I am going to teach you on this passage a couple of ways.
Phil 2 13 work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;[1]
Friends It is on you to work out your walk with Jesus. Jesus expects us to do our part on this issue. It is so key for your works to earn your walk.
I cannot go on. Do you see a problem? If you do not see this you need to learn a bit about bible. And here is the lesion; you are not to take a piece out of the bible and build something out of it. Cults start that way. If I wanted to keep preaching on the term work out your salvation I would be way off what this actually is saying. Here is the whole passage
Phil 2 12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; 13 for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.[2]
You work out your salvation and God works in you to do his good pleasure. No you’re not going to get glory or reward for your salvation it ALL is Gods grace and you are along for the ride.

GET A LIFE HWEB
Pray for the people that are in the nations of Lebanon and Israel. When at war many die and some are not the people you want to die. They say war is hell and it is because really no one wants it but it sometimes is true God used war in the bible to do his will. Sometimes lots of people die. I do think that each man God made does have a day of death that Jesus knows and has prepared him. Salvation in Jesus is the only thing that saves you or anyone from the wrath so I think it is a good day to put a note and find out about heaven.
Hebrews 10 19 Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, 21 and having a High Priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
Since we the saved have the Lord in us and we are his and cannot lose the hope in Jesus we ought to live like it. If your saved you have access to all of God and All of Jesus and that means we can have a relationship. We can go to the thone of God every day unlike the people in the old and we can have clean starts because Jesus is pleading all the time for his own in God’s heaven and that ought to make many of you type a amen and really love Jesus more and want to swerve him with a heart and to bring Glory to Jesus by living for him alone and making his name famous. God wants and desires that everything we do be for his glory. I need tons of work on that because my life is not all his all the time. Is my cash his? Do I work as if Jesus was my boss? Do I play like Jesus is right there? I know Jesus has died and suffered and the thing I owe him is my all. Yes salvation is grace alone and no work but what we have ought to free us to work all the more for Jesus. Friend in Jesus name and because of his great love for you I plead for us to live like Jesus is all there is to life, to love as if it was like no tomorrow and to serve with the best we have and only then are we going to see that Jesus is ours. Jesus has come to love us lets love him back
Lets have the assurance that we are saved to. No more questioning my life in Jesus and wondering. Get saved and if you have Jesus live like it. You have life forever and no one is going to pluck you out of Jesus. If you’re a backslider get over it and live for the Master and serve him. Jesus gave you life and eternal life. It is not a feeling it is a fact. It is good news your saved and if you have any doubts contact me and I can get you some verses that are good to memorize so you can get on. Satan would love nothing more that to not have you near to Jesus and have you doubt Gods love. Let his word speak to you and get it settled.
23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.[1]
Walk close to Jesus. Do not ever walk far away. Confess your sins asap and then know your forgiven and just live all out for him. If you live with the hope that every day I am going to drive myself in a direction that brings you close to Jesus then Jesus is going to be closer to you. I warn you that the closer you get the more sinful your going to seem to be because Jesus is going to point out sins that he wants you to be done with. It is a holy God we are getting close to and seeking and God is not going to let sins in your life go. Jesus is going to refine you and that might mean pain and this is good. So be warned in life that Jesus is refining you because one day all sin is gone and that is the goal of our life I hope. One more thing your sin is confessed to Jesus alone. He is the one your dealing with and it is not for anyone else to know but Jesus and you.
We need each other and we are commanded to gather with other folks and be the body. But this happens in one on one visits church and bible class and bible studies. Some good people say this is only church, I say this is whenever the people are in Jesus gather. Go to church. Go every time you can. Gather in home and eat dinner with people and visit other churches because we are one big family. But when you go to other churches make sure they teach the bible alone and they teach truth. If your saved bring your bible to church every time you go. Take notes on the sermons and if a song touches you jot that down to. Pray with someone. Pray on the phone or computer with people and ask

Gpds forginess
Israel is at war. We need to pray for the land of the bible and tell the other nations to leave it be. The Jews need to have that land and God has given the land to them. I do not have any love for anyone that attacks the land of the bible. I think anyone in this nation that does not support the land of the bible ought not vote. It is going to make our gas price go up to 4 or 5 bucks but we need to help out Israel and honor Gods land or else it might be we lose this land and our freedom.
I have been talking to a calthlic man for a time and I am not making the progress that I want to so I am going to go back to the book I started a long time ago and I am going to do blogs on it and as I see fit I am going to make my point in the text. He does not thin the bible is all we need and until he gets that I will move no closer to him and he likes to argue things and not take the bible so I will and I hope the Lord brings His word to Ben.
Hebrews 10 11 And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, 13 from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool. 14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
It is not possible for a man to forgive you of your sins. In the old times God set up his priests to offer things to God to forgive the sins of the people. God has no men that forgave sins now or at anytime. Forgiveness is a thing only granted by the Lord and in that it happens when one gives his sins and life to Jesus. Now the priests were only to give a plan that was filled by the cross of Jesus. Jesus did all that would be needed for sin to be forgiven. He became sin so that we would not have it on us. He on the cross took your life and exchanged it for his. He paid your for your sin and now you if your saved are in the love of Jesus. Jesus perfected you for heaven and if he lives inside of you and you made him your king your going to heaven.
15 But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before,
16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,” 17 then He adds, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” 18 Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.[1]
Here is some more news that is outstanding and true. If your in Jesus his law is on your hearts. God has forgotten all your lawless deeds. In the mind of God your sin has been forgotten and there is not way to bring it to you again. If one has been free from sin his freedom is forever. Nothing and no one is going to be able to give that to you. If your church is telling you your sin is not gone after you confessed it leave that church now. It is a lie that you got to do some thing more then confess it to Jesus and forget it. Your church and your so called priest does not need to know your confessed sin and past because Jesus does not even know it.
Psalms 103 12 As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from us.

bible is the only truth
18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled[1]
Jesus fills the law of God so all the old is found in him
35 If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), 36 do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? [2]
Bible cannot be broken.
12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.[3]
17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. [4]
Gods word is called truth
13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual[5]
Holy Spirit is the teacher of the word of God. He wrote it and only inspired it.
15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All Scripture (and only all) is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.[6]
12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. [7]
Only the word of God is… Nothing else
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, 21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.[8]
It is the SPIRIT NOT THE MAN

Keeping is Jesus not my job
http://www.carm.org/catholic.htm
I have not sat and done this for a bit. I am all over other peoples sites and not here and that is not good. People want to turn me into another faith and people are not agreeing with me are all over. I do not care because I am saved and I am going to heaven. I am not going to ever agree but I am going to be who I am and if I am wrong the Lord is going to teach me more. I am not perfect but a saint saved by Grace alone. I want to go over the following text because it is such a nail in the your not saved by grace. If we go into this passage and your going to still say we can work for salvation I know your not saved and whatever/
1 Peter 1 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
By Gods abundant mercy he saved or begotten us. NO works from me are here. What do we have but a living hope and the word hope is a certainty. It means Jesus gives us a hope that is not going away. Hope is saying you know your saved and in the cross you have heaven. It is paid for in full at the time Jesus became alive after he died.
4 to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Jesus gives us a inheritance of heaven that is absolutely never going to spoil or fade. It cannot be taken once you have it. Paul said the Holy Spirit is a deposit in you that makes God oweing you if your in Christ. It is in heaven and if it is there your going to collect it and have it forever. Who are kept NOT BY WORKS? WE ARE KEPT BY GOD. It is not your job to keep in Jesus it is done in the power of God. Power of God that made the world keeps you in him. Gods’ power is perfect. Here is a list on the power of God. Made the world. God fought war and never lost one. God killed Jesus and Jesus rose up. It is not hard to keep you a sinner before him.
Eph 1 13 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, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.[1]
Ben misused this on a blog. Here is Macarthur’s thoughts in the matter
1:13, 14 sealed with the Holy Spirit. God’s own Spirit comes to indwell the believer and secures and preserves his eternal salvation. The sealing of which Paul speaks refers to an official mark of identification placed on a letter, contract, or other document. That document was thereby officially under the authority of the person whose stamp was on the seal. Four primary truths are signified by the seal: 1) security (cf. Dan. 6:17; Matt. 27:62–66); 2) authenticity (cf. 1 Kin. 21:6–16); 3) ownership (cf. Jer. 32:10); and 4) authority (cf. Esth. 8:8–12). The Holy Spirit is given by God as His pledge of the believer’s future inheritance in glory (cf. 2 Cor. 1:21).[2]
Here is my thinking. God has signed a deal with me and that is salvation. He is beginning in the spirit

war is ok
Korea has test missles and I need to address this tonight. I do think we have the right to invade this land and end its communist government. I do not see any good in this land and we need to stop them right now and right here. Goverments have the right to defend people. It is defending people to take out a land that is not doing as the world asks. This leads into a bible thing and Is Jesus anti war?
1 God has commanded war at times in the bible. He told Joshua to kill every body in the promised land. Jesus is the God that told them to kill everyone. God does use war to punish people. Jesus never said not to go to war. Matter of fact he said in the end there are going to be wars and rumors of wars. If it was the demand of God not to allow war then we would not be the land we are. Yet some think war was wrong because it was rebelling to not pay tax to the king of the people. God used war to show his judgement on sinner and I think he uses it today to judge. Muslims that want to kill are ok in my mind to go to war and kill them. God used war in the bible to make his plans go forth and I think the wars today are all from a God that uses them for his glory.
Here are some passages that show why I think this way
2 Sam 35 He teaches my hands to make war,
So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.[1]
God teaches war.
Jug 2 414 And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel. So He delivered them into the hands of plunderers who despoiled them; and He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they could no longer stand before their enemies.[2]
God uses it to judge people
2 For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem;
The city shall be taken,
The houses rifled,
And the women ravished.
Half of the city shall go into captivity,
But the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city.[3]
Jer 6 24 We have heard the report of it;
Our hands grow feeble.
Anguish has taken hold of us,
Pain as of a woman in labor.
25 Do not go out into the field,
Nor walk by the way.
Because of the sword of the enemy,
Fear is on every side.
26 O daughter of my people,
Dress in sackcloth
And roll about in ashes!
Make mourning as for an only son, most bitter lamentation;
For the plunderer will suddenly come upon us.[4]
War is evil
Jesus used war as a figure of speech. It was ok for us to learn from war
Luke 14 31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks conditions of peace. 33 So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.[5]
I am not saying war is a good thing. WAR IS NOT GOOD AND IT ALWAYS CREATES BAD THINGS. HOWEVER IT SOMETIMES IS NEEDED AND WE USE IT WHEN IT IS RIGHT

Only for the saved Baptism
Let me take a couple and plant this here and whatever happens is fine. One reason I can never embrace many in the so called Christian faith is baptism. It is wrong to baptize babies pure and simple. One does not decide to embrace the Lord as Lord you ought not dunk them and give them salvation, If your trusting that to saved you your trusting in a lie. I am not into the baptism can save thing the blood saved you and your trust in Jesus rising. If you do not do that the bible said your not heaven bound. Babies are all going to heaven. Not one of them is lost to the evil devil and sin. God has grace for them all. I see a flood going to the comments to try to get me to change my mind. What is said on this part is solid truth and how I think. I am not into a new thinking, I go on comments when and if I want to.
If you baptize a baby you get him wet. Here is what baptism is to me. I get saved and in my heart I am commanded to get dunked to show what I did in a private way to the whole world. I take my stand with Jesus in a time I am put under water. You do not get sprinkles and you do not do this to the unsaved. I find now where in the bible this happening to kids. I here am going to see new things in comments so I am able to learn. Baptism is a thing for Christians and is not going to forgive your sins(Jesus does that at the saving of your soul.) It does not make you ok for heaven ( you ask Jesus to do that to). It is a command for the saved and that means if your saved you need to get it done. You do not have it done by a pastor if you do not want to. Any Christian is allowed to baptize. It is ok for a dad to baptize his kids or a Uncle or the one that led you to Jesus. Jesus commanded us all to do it in the great commission. It is ok for any saved man or lady to baptize you.
Here are bible verses to back me up
cts chapter 2, verse 41 (Acts 2:41) - 3,000 people were baptized after believing on the first day of the Christian church. Verses 38 and 39 make it clear that this is the way that it will always be done. That is, all people who accept Christ as their savior will come to Him in this way.
Acts 8:26-39 - We know where this road from Jerusalem to Gaza is. Verse 26 terms it a “desert.” The only water there was oasis water. This means that the eunuch and Philip climbed down into the people's drinking water to do this. Apparently, Philip and the eunuch did not think it could wait until later! (You will also notice they did not take a handful of water and “sprinkle” the eunuch to keep things sanitary, either.) The Bible states that all Philip did was “preach Jesus to him” (verse 35) and then the eunuch said that he wanted to be baptized (verse 36). This means that the preaching of Jesus includes preaching the need to be baptized.
Acts 9:18 - after this encounter with Jesus on the Damascus road, Saul (later renamed Paul) decided to accept Jesus—and was baptized.
Acts 10:47,48 - Cornelius and those with him were commanded to be baptized, becoming the first non-Jewish converts to Christianity.
Acts 16:13-15 - Lydia and her household “believed” and were baptized.
Acts 16:16-34 - The Philippian jailer “believed” with his household and they were baptized—and this was in the middle of the night!
Why should someone be baptized?
The Bible gives a number of reasons to be baptized:
Acts 2:38 - Tying repentance and baptism together provides forgiveness of your sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 6:1-7 - This shows us that the mode of baptism (immersion) pictures the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. In the same way that He went through these things, our old nature is to “die” and we are to be “buried with Him through baptism into death” and raised to “walk in newness of life” (live like Jesus). So we do not just try to be a better person, we bury the “old person” in the water and become a “new person” through our acceptance of Christ. It is like a new birth and a new beginning for us.
Galatians 3:27 - We “put on Christ” when we are baptized.
1 Peter 3:21 - Baptism is not an outward cleaning, but saves us through an inward cleaning. It is an appeal to God for a good conscience and asks God to take away the guilt of our past sin (that Christ paid for, wiping our “inner slate” clean).
Well, now you have it—the what, when and why. The only question left to ask is, “what will I do now?” That is between you and God.
( I gogt help putting this together.)
If you baptize a baby you get him wet. Here is what baptism is to me. I get saved and in my heart I am commanded to get dunked to show what I did in a private way to the whole world. I take my stand with Jesus in a time I am put under water. You do not get sprinkles and you do not do this to the unsaved. I find now where in the bible this happening to kids. I here am going to see new things in comments so I am able to learn. Baptism is a thing for Christians and is not going to forgive your sins(Jesus does that at the saving of your soul.) It does not make you ok for heaven ( you ask Jesus to do that to). It is a command for the saved and that means if your saved you need to get it done. You do not have it done by a pastor if you do not want to. Any Christian is allowed to baptize. It is ok for a dad to baptize his kids or a Uncle or the one that led you to Jesus. Jesus commanded us all to do it in the great commission. It is ok for any saved man or lady to baptize you.
Here are bible verses to back me up
cts chapter 2, verse 41 (Acts 2:41) - 3,000 people were baptized after believing on the first day of the Christian church. Verses 38 and 39 make it clear that this is the way that it will always be done. That is, all people who accept Christ as their savior will come to Him in this way.
Acts 8:26-39 - We know where this road from Jerusalem to Gaza is. Verse 26 terms it a “desert.” The only water there was oasis water. This means that the eunuch and Philip climbed down into the people's drinking water to do this. Apparently, Philip and the eunuch did not think it could wait until later! (You will also notice they did not take a handful of water and “sprinkle” the eunuch to keep things sanitary, either.) The Bible states that all Philip did was “preach Jesus to him” (verse 35) and then the eunuch said that he wanted to be baptized (verse 36). This means that the preaching of Jesus includes preaching the need to be baptized.
Acts 9:18 - after this encounter with Jesus on the Damascus road, Saul (later renamed Paul) decided to accept Jesus—and was baptized.
Acts 10:47,48 - Cornelius and those with him were commanded to be baptized, becoming the first non-Jewish converts to Christianity.
Acts 16:13-15 - Lydia and her household “believed” and were baptized.
Acts 16:16-34 - The Philippian jailer “believed” with his household and they were baptized—and this was in the middle of the night!
Why should someone be baptized?
The Bible gives a number of reasons to be baptized:
Acts 2:38 - Tying repentance and baptism together provides forgiveness of your sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 6:1-7 - This shows us that the mode of baptism (immersion) pictures the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. In the same way that He went through these things, our old nature is to “die” and we are to be “buried with Him through baptism into death” and raised to “walk in newness of life” (live like Jesus). So we do not just try to be a better person, we bury the “old person” in the water and become a “new person” through our acceptance of Christ. It is like a new birth and a new beginning for us.
Galatians 3:27 - We “put on Christ” when we are baptized.
1 Peter 3:21 - Baptism is not an outward cleaning, but saves us through an inward cleaning. It is an appeal to God for a good conscience and asks God to take away the guilt of our past sin (that Christ paid for, wiping our “inner slate” clean).

Jesus alone
Not to tell you off but this blog is going to keep going on and as for the comments I am going to do them on other times. I am not going to make my blog so I am just working on a debate or live of comments to run this site I run this site and I want to move in my life to give you my thinking. Comments are open and all are accepted. Even those from grace Baptist and you know who you are. I am not deleting them because open talk is good and it sells hits. People come to me in droves and more read me that mean nothing accept I feel better and lack humbleness and brag about it to all my friends so they might talk to me to.
I want to just say to the WNBA to put Erin Buescher onto the all-star team. She is a excellent player and scores for the Monarchs. Please do it and then I will be able to say I had lunch with a all star. Erin is the person whose life Jesus used to bring me to his word and John Macarthur. I say many people lived for Jesus and Jesus shined in them so I would be his alone. Jesus is like that he shines in others to make people come to know his Love and grace. All of you that read this ought to pray for a chance to share Jesus this week and then make comments on the Lord answering the prayer. I think you can and should pray to this everyday and share all you can about Jesus. It is one way to store in heaven your treasure and not be of this world. I want to make life a step into heaven and store all the tresure in Jesus because I know I am going to be able to cash it there. Heaven is a promise that if your saved you bank on. Look at this passage
1 peter 1 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.[1]
Wow we can know we are going to get this because why would he say it is ours if it were not. We have a living hope and that is Jesus in heaven who overcame death and forgave all our sins when we trusted in his death. Nothing can spoil it for you despite what anyone thinks. It is kept by God and God is the one that saved you so work to increase the stuff in heaven.
Heb 10 For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect. 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins. 3 But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. 4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.[2]
I am going to work on this passage. I have talked about the system in the old how you would have to kill a sheep to get your sins forgiven and you did it one time a year. Jesus did the one time for all sin death on the cross. Here is the thing on the death of Jesus it forgave every single sin ever committed. Sin in the saved man life has been forgiven one time for all time. If you fail to forgive did that sin somehow escape the cross of Jesus and his blood. Jesus death is the end of the era for the Old. Now we come to God solely on the blood of Jesus. Nothing else gets you into Gods place except Jesus death and life. No other way to go to God Jesus is that way.
Jesus forgiveness never is a reason to sin. It is not really here but I am going to cover this because it is key. When you are forgiven by Jesus it ought to make you so thankful that you never want to sin. Sin always is bad and offends God. If you love you are going to not offend the Lord. But in your walk in Jesus your going to find that the closer you get the more sin Jesus is going to show you and your going to want to rid more sin in your life. On a comment I was asked what if you do not forgive. I still think your going to heaven if your saved but if you fail to forgive your going to shut the door to prayer and fellowship with Jesus. You forgive because that is the command of the Lord and if you do not then take it up with Jesus. Love is the most important thing in our walk. If we love we obey. Jesus is the Love of our life so we are going to fall on our lord to guide us. No matter what anyone said on the comments if your saved and learning to walk in Jesus you will be in heaven.

Calthlics and my issues with them
Once Saved, Always Saved is not taught in the Bible, so that's lie #4
Indeed this is a thing taught in the bible. It is all over the bible. Jesus died and saved me and that ALONE is the thing that saved me. In the Cathlic faith you never can know your saved and I am one that is going to hell because I stand on this truth. But no where can they find that in the bible. Back to telling me I am not saved and cannot know it. Jesus said I am able and nobody in my mind out does Jesus. Jesus said he is the truth and I am able to find God in him. Jesus alone has the forgiveness of sin and does it when I confess. The Christian faith is alone based on the bible. If you add to the bible in anyway I do not care who you are you’re a cult and do not share truth. I say that because when Man is making the call of the bible and adding to it the bible is no longer truth and that is deadly. The bible is the only source of my faith. You can be the pope and tell me I am lieing but I will die before I trust a man. I said you can kill me before I follow a man of anykind.
Just a thing on the confession of sin, Calthlic say you confess before a man I confess before Jesus. I know they are going to have you pay for your forgiveness and pray hail marys. Mary is not God and she cannot hear you and is not in the bible as one we worship. I think Mary is a honored lady but I will not bow to her because she is full of sin as all mankind are. I am not going to trust a church that tells me I am not able to Know I am saved forever and if I say that I am not. I am not going to trust a church that demands cash for my sins and I am not going to listen to a person that tells me I am lying when all I have said is in the bible. I have asked this man to tell me how to know in his way and that is a honest question. Depending on his response I am either going to not allow him on the site if he keeps attacking me. But I want him to share what he has and I then can discuss this important stuff.
It is a life or death issue and I am so wishing for all to come to Jesus and get into heaven. I want people to get saved and know where you’re going. Jesus is worth every thing. It is so awesome to know heaven is all mine and I want you all to come there.
Well I leave you with some stuff on Eternal life and Once saved always saved.
John 3:15–16 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
John 5:24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
John 6:40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
John 6:47 Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life.
John 12:25 He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
