Are you tired of seeing Christians post all that stuff you don’t want to read? And you’ve learned how to be fairly adept at getting around it; not reading it recognizing strains of words and avoiding them.
But I just got to know. What are your plans to avoid the Most High God who provokes all these words? When you’re standing there face to face with Him where will you go what channel will you change?
Since I encounter is inevitable it might do well for you to change how you perceive his words.
It has been often misunderstood and miss represented. Eternal life and eternal death are not near each other.
It has been written as if the paths are parallel and lead us to a place separated simply by a wall.
The Bible does not teach that there are any similarities between heaven and hell. Unless you want to count that there are souls of men in each.
Instead the Bible teaches that light has nothing to do with darkness. God’s ways have nothing to do with satan’s ways. God’s Way is spirit and life. Satan’s Way is flesh and death. God abhors the things of this world whereas satan loves them.
The paths to heaven and hell are not parallel they are running in opposite directions. There are no crossover street from one to the other. The only way off the highway to hell is to be picked up and transplanted into the highway of heaven. And this action can only be accomplished by the Son of God.
Most people don’t understand. The moment you’re old enough to be accountable for your actions you have a ticket straight to hell. If you want to bend the natural progression of things you need to seek heaven with all your heart and soul and mind and body.
The hounds of hell have found you! They know your name and where you live. And they will never say, ” we didn’t realize you didn’t understand. So we’ll give you a second chance. Go ahead now, run as fast as you can see if you can get away”.
They are patient, they are relentless, they are blood thirsty for your very soul, they do not sleep nor do they care about your personal desire. They simply sit and wait for you to come home. There is no pity in them. Does the Eagle cry as it eats the screaming rabbit?
Most people sleep in their understanding of what lay ahead. But they’re sleeping will not delay nor avoid the truth. The only way out is to cause a different future.
Jesus alone has the keys to heaven and hell. I’m telling you what is true it is not speculation, it is not opinion, it is the very word of the living God. Turn to Jesus in faith and beg for salvation. Then be ready to spend the rest of your life here proving that you want him. He also stands willing and ready for you; to forgive your sins. The question is do you want him to?
They led Him in, and He did not resist. They beat Him without mercy, but He did not plead for mercy. They accused. But He did not defend or accuse in return.
They led Him out to finish their murder. He went willingly, until His legs could not find strength. They pounded nails, He did not resist them. They raised up their murderous machine and let it drop violently into the hole. He did not complain.
He endured. He prayed for them. Then He uttered words that will echo throughout heaven and earth forever, “IT IS FINISHED”! Jesus had BECOME!
They thought they were so smart to devise such a deterant to crime. They thought well of their league to dish out such violence that none would oppose them. They think so very highly of themselves for what they can accomplish.
Oh foolish, proud, man! Don’t you see that you had become the ladder He had to climb to become the High Priest forever between His Father and you? No, you likely don’t. All eyes will see this magnificent Son of God! All eyes.
Lord please let these words penetrate to the inner heart. Let them consider Your Lordship. Let them understand that even their wickedness is being used to groom Your people. Man is, at best, nothing but a servant.
You are Holy forever!
By His Grace.
Foreigner sang, “you’re as cold as ice. . .”. Somehow we all understand what that means. There are a whole lot of songs about mean men and women. How about that miner’s song about “Big John”. Or Jim Crocie’s “don’t mess around with slim”.
Nobody questions the meaning of those songs. But I wonder why we haven’t heard a song about the true wickedness, meanness, and general mayhem directed at God. The lyrics might include such things as: “Go away, I don’t need your help. . .”. Or, “I don’t care how much you love me, I love my sins all the more”. Then there’s that line they do all the time but never talk about, “Wish I’d been there at the crucifixion” .
I admit it would be out of character for the world to be honest. But at least it would make people face the truth of their relationship with Jesus.
By the way people keep away from God you would think He is a horribly violent individual. I am not making fun of the unsaved or ungodly folk. I am just pointing out a rather curious “confusion”.
Jesus is the exact representation of His Father in Heaven. So if we look at Jesus’ character and actions we can determine if God is violent by nature.
Read the Gospels (matthew, mark, luke and john). Besides the event in the temple where Jesus made a whip and drove out the greedy, where do you find violence in Him? (Take note that the people were displaying a misunderstanding of God’s reason for building a temple). The answer will have to be “nowhere”. Why, then, are folks so terrified at the Bible, Christians who love to share the knowledge of salvation, godly living, a consistent prayer habit, and going to church?
The answer is not found in God. The answer is to be found in the people’s love of every form of pleasure and wickedness. Yep! That’s right folks! You find yourself shying away from God because the idea of making friends with Holiness is a sincere offence to you. By our very nature we are far too proud to humble ourselves before Him and ask for help.
Yet help is exactly what Jesus is offering. He promises to work with you to transform you from a God hater to a God lover. I know you don’t think much of that God lover stuff yet. But you’ll see, in time, why Christians aren’t afraid to be hated by the world. And in the place of hopeless futile little pleasures and foolish pride appears a magnificent joy.
Who would know better what is right, good, lasting and perfect behavior, God (who has been forever and will never cease to live) or man? He is watching you read this. Do you care? Tell Him so. Listen to Him. He has promised to lead us to righteousness, love, and eternal life. If only we will just listen and obey. If you cant hear, tell Him.
We: Live, Die, Face Judgment. Jesus or die twice.
