Jesus Dug Deep to Give Us what the World Imagines it Has

The World wants what Jesus gives those He justified, but they imagine that it comes from themselves, or their groups, or anything but God. Yet God is the only source of life. They desire, but their sin obscures this simple truth, and they mock.

The name of the Lord Jesus is blessed, because He cares so very deeply that He gives everything to His own cherished blood-bought people, even Himself!

The Worldlings are so very alone. Blessed be the name of the Lord, because we would be, too, without Him.

Tell everyone what you think. Go on, it might be useful to someone; maybe even to a dear sibling in our same Master and Savior, Jesus, God's Christ. Huh? ..may-be .

What the Church Should Know and Do

If only we could get salvation doctrine correct among ourselves and then move on to separation - treating Worldlings circumspectly with gentleness and wisdom and treating Christians with teaching, rebukes, exhortations, encouragements, reproofs, shunning (not as enemies, but as siblings in Christ), then we would not be confused about who is a Christian and what we should do. Love the siblings in everything and do loving action to your enemies, but know who your enemies are, according to the Scriptures, and don't be their friends, which is enmity with God (according to what God told us by that Special Book He wrote to us). God is knowable by His Special Spirit and by His Holy Book, but the World obfuscates Him, His words, His desires and His actions with pseudochrist look-alikes.  Don't believe them, believe Him, comparing preaching with Scripture like the noble Bereans did. Believing 1 Corinthians 15:3b-8 results in doing Romans 10:9a, 10b, 13 for salvation and Romans 10:9b, 10

The Problem of Evil

The Problem of Evil James 1:13-14 "Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man. But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed." Therefore, God is not the author of evil. If God hardened Pharaoh, myself or Peter to cause us to be unbelieving, then God would still be perfectly good, because He is the Source of all knowledge of any goodness (even the superlative thoughts of a humble child), so that we don’t know how to imagine anything more good than He is. That's the bigger issue with all this. If a single person, after being called by Christ, calls back to Him, that means that evil human beings can be saved by calling on Christ, which takes away any thought that God made Lucifer become Satan due to the way God made him or that God makes humans not go to Him due to our sinful state. Christ's lack of call on some is based on His Father's foreknowing. The reason

A Special Forces Demon Attack in a Dream

I had another dream driven by the influence of the special forces demon. I ignored the game at first.  It was a youngster's game - mainly frivolous.  But there was a package of materials involved.  I was asked to do a favor - no, it wasn't playing the game, but it would help them if it allowed the mostly-numb peeling of my finger with the knife-like instrument. Afterward, I went up into the treehouse, where the other person and a large (2 or 3 foot) squirrel was going to play the game, and I was told that I could be in there because I was trusted now that I had done the thing.  Suddenly, they were playing the game with me, peeling my finger with only a little discomfort with the implement even though I didn't want to actually "play the game", I was just willing to help the other outside of playing it.  But I was playing it the whole time. I ran away, and I was quickly chased!  I turned in my running, and I spoke against them in the name of Master Jesus Christ and

Notes on Paw Creek Video about Heresy in TBN

Here's a list of heresies that have been perpetrated on us.  Even if they come from people who seem (by what they say and look like) to be born-again Christians, listen to the meanings of what they say very closely, and compare it with Scripture! They say: -We command angels to give us money (Kenneth Hagin). -Jesus was immunized with all of our sins so that His blood would be sufficient to redeem us (Rod Parsley). -Jesus would have sinned if The Holy Spirit hadn't been with Him, because He was totally a man like us (Benny Hinn). -Hebrews 9:14 does not deal with the cross, but it says Jesus offered Himself before He ever came to Earth (Benny Hinn). -Abraham cut the covenant, so Jesus didn't really have to redo it (Benny Hinn). -Jesus burned in Hell (several; example, Jan Crouch, Benny Hinn). -Jesus *destroyed* Satan in Hell; furthermore, He did it with Adamic authority and without the power of The Holy Spirit (Benny Hinn). -Jesus was not divine on Earth, but got it back when

The Semantic Trickery in the 'Bring the War Home' Book Blurb

__________________________________________ Blurb for "Bring the War Home" by Kathleen Belew The white power movement in America wants a revolution. It has declared all-out war against the federal government and its agents, and has carried out - with military precision - an escalating campaign of terror against the American public. Its soldiers are not lone wolves but are highly organized cadres motivated by a coherent and deeply troubling worldview of white supremacy, anticommunism, and apocalypse. In Bring the War Home, Kathleen Belew gives us the first full history of the movement that consolidated in the 1970s and 1980s around a potent sense of betrayal in the Vietnam War and made tragic headlines in the 1995 bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building. Returning to an America ripped apart by a war that, in their view, they were not allowed to win, a small but driven group of veterans, active-duty personnel, and civilian supporters concluded that waging war on their own

Analysis for a Baby Christian - On Women Pastors

 In her article, "6 reasons 1 Timothy 2:12 is not as clear as it seems" (https://margmowczko.com/1-timothy-212-not-as-clear/), Marg Mowczko lists 6 reasons to bring in a non-traditional interpretation to that passage.  I will go over them here.  Here's the verse for reference: "But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet." (1 Timothy 2:12) 1) She says the word for "allow" is specific and not a command.  Her reasoning muddles between specific permission given for a specific instance and commands told to Timothy to tell others.  Since the command type of word wasn't used in this verse, she argues that there is no command!  I think that this is a very weak argument. First, her declaration that the word in question is always used for a single or specific instance is simply wrong.  In Matthew 19:8 we see the word used in reference to Moses' allowance for the men to divorce their wives (because of their h

Countering the Concept that the Bible Does Not Help with Everything in Modern Life

Have you ever heard someone say that the Bible is the instruction manual for life? Have you heard someone try to refute that by bringing up modern things that the Bible doesn't mention? This is a quite long discussion I had with ChatGPT about that. Remember that ChatGPT is only a language model. It has some limited degree of linguistic reasoning and is very good at transforming information into different expressions. Its main ideas are anchored in its training data, which is mostly secular. I had to lead it sometimes, and it accepted my logic in the end, but that's not a very tight case for my logic. Yet it does go some way to validating it. I have some hope that, if you have a lot of free time, perusing this might be valuable to you or give you some ideas of how to address the various areas of concern within this topic.   >>>User What are some major themes of the biblical Genesis which relate to the human experience? >>>ChatGPT The Book of Genesis, the first

Answers about Gender Dysphoria

 If any Christian has been deluded by gender dysphoria, they should be told good things about God's love of whom He created, in the way He created them. I wonder if that's the tack of Christian psychologists? Oh, pity the state of things, even in the Church! Making a place for the hurt to persist by a lying definition that there actually exists a truly natural disconnect between apparent and real biological identity is a mean thing to do. Maybe it's easy for us to do, because we've already allowed ourselves to lie to the Schizophrenic grandmother to artificially keep her comfortable, and we've become used to lying to children to keep their feelings after a great tragedy. We falsely excuse those lies. There's always an escape from harm without lying, because God doesn't give us trials without an escape in His righteousness. Oh, the strange, compromising Church! In all cases, inundating distressed Christians in prayer and in all truth is the powerful and heali

ChatGPT on Other Gospels

WARNING: ChatGPT is not always factual, but the answers it gives here are basically representative of the vast training data it uses.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   Are there any secular groups or messages that derive from the Bible but exclude God (Example: Alcoholics Anonymous)? ChatGPT Yes, there are secular groups, principles, or ideas that have been influenced by the Bible or biblical principles but don't necessarily center their practices around a belief in God or might allow a more generalized concept of a "higher power" rather than a specifically theistic belief. Here are a few examples:     Alcoholics Anonymous (AA): As you mentioned, AA and its 12-step program for addiction recovery emphasize the role of a "higher power." However, this higher power is open to interpretation. It can be God, the AA group itself, nature, the universe, or any other entity the member believes in. The foundation of AA is heavily influenced by the Oxford Group, a Christian organizati

Dirty Righteousness

Doing right out of a dedication to He Who has saved you, Master Jesus Christ, is right.  But doing right in order to save yourself in the sight of God is as disgusting to God as when ancient Israel offered many sacrifices but disregarded Him. We must know that Christ's death, in accordance with the Scriptures, was for our sin, and we cannot do anything for our sin, ourselves.  Then He was buried, and God resurrected Him on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and then He was seen by many witnesses.  Believing this, we call on His name to save us by confessing with the mouth Master Jesus. After we are saved, it is His Spirit Who prompts us to do right, and we grow in righteousness due to our belief in His Resurrection by that same Holy Spirit of God.  No other righteousness is acceptable to God but the righteousness that comes from Him.  Human righteousness cannot save, and it is shameful to put righteousness forth as a means to one's own salvation. This wisdom is no
