July 13 I Pray to?I Pray to?
“For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, To the unknown God. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.”
There are many gods in this world today. Many say we, as Christians, persecute those that refuse to live as Christ lived, but this isn't so. We, as followers of Christ, are set in motion by a commission from the true God, the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. If you wish to pray to another God, do so, if you wish to be a homosexual, a lesbian, a transsexual, do so, but do not ask me to accept these lifestyles, for they are an abomination to God.
You can pray to Allah, Buddha, you can pray to Satan, or any other god you desire, but, as for me I will never bow my knee to any other. We do not force anyone to serve the Lord and neither does He, for anyone coming to the Lord must first believe that He is, and is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him. Weather you are a democrat, a republican or an independent, don't tell me that you are a democratic Christian, a Republican Christian or an independent Christian, for as we all know there is no politics in the Bible, nor in the faith of Christianity. We are all the children of God, we are all His creation and we will all be judged by our works, weather they be good or evil.
There is no such thing as a political Christian. For as man, serves man, they seek out those things that will get them the most votes and nothing else. For we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God. I have no idea where Christians have come up with Jesus would have been of one political party or another, for Jesus is full of righteousness and would have us all to follow after Him, putting no trust in man. Are we not all believers in Christ, are we not all baptized with the same baptism, are we not all, who believe, of the same family?
To be political is to ignore the Word of God. We are asked to accept lifestyles that are contrary to scripture, we are told to accept lies that are, so called, the politically correct version. We are asked to believe that everyone will go to Heaven as long as we are kind to one another. We are asked to believe that there are many ways to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. These are all lies and hold no truth nor righteousness. What we see today is men calling good evil(Christianity.) and evil good.(False gods and doctrines.)
Who has divided us, who has taught us, who has counciled the Lord on any matter? Who has segregated us, by race, by color, by national origin? Are we not all children of the Most High, are we not all seen by God, not as black, white, Korean, Egyptian or any other country? Are we not all seen by God as in 1st Adam or Last Adam? I see men not as black Christians, nor white Christians, republican, democrat, independent, nor Asian Christians, but simply brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus.
How dare this world try to separate us from the love of God, how dare they say we are to ignore Gods word and accept all lifestyles as normal, how dare they try to separate us from the truth of the word of God.
These things remind me of these verses in 1st Corinthians; “Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?”
Is there not enough evil in this world today that you must add to it? Can we be as one Church and divide into segregated parts? Can we not all follow after Christ together? Then why would any Christian follow after any man that would separate us and cause divisions, cause strife within the church, follow after any man that co-mitts abominations? Why would we follow after men that call evil good, and good evil, for there is none other Holy except the Lord, no other Lord nor Christ, than Jesus.
The things that I have heard in these last few months have been disturbing, and should have disturbed the followers of Christ. We cannot follow after any man that condones abortion as a means to population control, nor any man that states we are a problem to world peace, nor would take this country and promote false gods and religion as a means to peaceful relations.
“To the unknown God.” This is the God I have, and will, introduce to those that are lost. He is know to me, but an unknown God to those that act contrary to sound doctrine. He is know to me, but unknown to those that refuse to heed to a sound doctrine. He is known only threw the introduction from the Holy Spirit and can only be approached by the faith and service of Jesus Christ. Believing upon Him as the Son of God. Do you know the Lord and follow Jesus teachings, or have you rewritten every word to suite your needs and desires?

Act 17:23 1Co 1:8-13 Webster,TSK, July 07 Whosoever will save his life.Whosoever will save his life.
"And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it."
In the end days many shall come before the anti-Christ and make a choice, weather to take his mark(666) or weather to suffer beheading and live for Christ. This decision is being made each and every day around the world. There are many that have become martyrs for their faith in Christ and others save their life denying Jesus as the Son of God.
We see these things in the Bible, such as these verses,"And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?" And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled."
"their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled." God having all wisdom and knowledge, knows that many shall loose their life for the sake of His Son Jesus. Many in this country and others have been killed and are being persecuted for their beliefe in the truth of the Bible. These persecutions have come in many forms and from some unlikely sources. When a goverment denis the Biblical truth, this is another sign of the end of days. Many confuse loving one another, with hating sin and opposing all manner of unrightiousness. If we speak not the truth of the Bible, how will any one know of these abominations and sins that will keep them from the love of God and His kingdom.
Shall the Christian accept Islam as a religion to be converted to? By no means. We are those that live by faith in Christ Jesus. We hold the Bible as the Holy word of God. We cannot convert to any false religion, and will never be partaker of any holiday selebration of them. We can, and must love our enemies as ourselves but we cannot be partaker of their sin. The greatest sin, in my opinion is, unbeliefe. Unbeliefe leads to all manner of religions and useless rituals, that cannot bring salvation nor healing of any type. This country is falling away from the truth of the Bible, and will suffer for its mistakes and unbeliefe. You believe that there is just one God, you do well, but the devils also believe and tremble.
Mark 8:34-35, is easy to understand. Those that save this body of flesh, because they are unwilling to be led by the spirit of God, shall loose their life(Soul.) in the resurection. This is the choice that all, under this troubled and violent world face. Islam is leading a Jehad(holy war.) against all that refuse to convert to their religion. This is where many will save or loose their life. It is a known fact that anyone that tries to convert to christianity from Islam, is under sentance of death. Many say that this is just the responce of religious zellots and not the religion itself, but they are forgetting what the Bible states of the end days of the anti-christ and the one world religion.
Many do not believe in Biblical prophecy, and with this, they have blinded themselves to the awful truth of Christian martyrdom in these end days. Who has shown the greatest hatred of Israel and Christianity, who has doubled their influence in these last twenty years, who is calling for peace talks, while prepairing for war with Israel, Who?
There are none so blind as those that will not see, nor deaf that will not hear, nor lost that will not believe. In these end days many shall save their lives by loosing them for the sake of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Many a christian have been killed by Muslum, Hindu, satanist and other religions, because they will not sacrifice their souls to retain their mortal lives. Many refuse to see the truth being content to be blind, content to be deaf rather to hear so that they might be saved, and ignorant of the truth that they may be healed.
When will this number be reached according to Revelations 6:11? "until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled." There is a number that only the Lord knows, when this number of martyrs is reached, then the wrath of God shall be poured out upon this earth. It could be reached at any time, the best thing to do is be prepared. ars. Webster,TSK Rev 6:9-11 Mar 8:3435 |
