I have put this page together as the result of talking to many people in the chat rooms.
Here are answers to typical questions people give me in the chat rooms.
[Rev 21:8] But those who are full of fear and without faith, the unclean and takers of life, those who do the sins of the flesh, and those who make use of evil powers or who give worship to images, and all those who are false, will have their part in the sea of ever-burning fire which is the second death.
...the great commission:..Go therefore and make disciples of all nations...baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit...teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you...and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age."...[Mat 28:19,20]...
...I'm here to try to answer any questions you have that might be stopping you from believing in God...
[Mark 11:25] And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against any one; so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."
This question reveals a deep inner hatred and prejudice against someone different than yourself or against someone who has hurt you in the past.
If you let go of the hatred and prejudice, you would have no problem accepting God as the Father (Creator of the Universe - Lord God Almighty), the Son (Jesus Christ - a male Semitic Jew), and the Holy Spirit (who appears in whatever form necessary to witness the TRUTH - female, mother, wife: Wisdom; dove: coming down to rest on Jesus; male: the Counselor, Advocate; flame: tongues of fire at Pentecost).
...God lives in Eternity and is trans-dimensional...He has no beginning or end because He operates in dimensions adjacent and invisible to our own...Time is one of the 4 dimensions visible to us (length, width, height, and time)...Eternity is: another dimension of reality, not visible to us...
...The name 'Jesus'='I Am Salvation'. IESUE=I AM LIFE. According to the Hebrew dictionary, the word used for 'salvation' means 'to set free'. 'Jesus'='I Am Freedom'. That is why Jesus is the only name that can save a person from sin and hell. The name 'Jesus' appears in the bible in several forms - Yeshua, Joshua, Hosea, Isaiah, and Eliphalet...
...And have you forgotten the exhortation which addresses you as sons?--"My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor lose courage when you are punished by him...For the Lord disciplines him whom he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives."..[Heb 12:5,6]...
...the Lord Jesus said..."If you love me, you will keep my commandments."...[Rom 13:10] Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law...[John 14:15]
...Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap...For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption; but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life...[Gal 6:7-8]
...You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles?...So, every sound tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears evil fruit...A sound tree cannot bear evil fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit...Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire...Thus you will know them by their fruits..."Not every one who says to me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven...On that day many will say to me, `Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?'...And then will I declare to them, `I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers.'...[Mat 7:16-23]
...Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful;...it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;...it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right...Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things...LOVE NEVER FAILS; as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away...[1Cor 13:4-8]
...Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses...[Prov 10:12]
May I help you see God?
...look up to the sky...reach out with your heart...let the grand beauty and love of the galaxies touch your heart...God is there...
...stand on a high mountain...look out over the rolling hills, the mountains, the plains...reach out with your heart...let the grand beauty wash over you and fill you...He is there...
...go out into the midst of the sea...reach out with your heart...and touch the rolling mountains of turquoise water...feel the grand beauty and joy in the depths of the sea...the Lord is there...
...look at the grand and glorious and orderly beauty in a rose...the deep forest green...the power of a tiger...the hand of a child...the kiss of love...the breath of your lungs...the beating of your heart...there you will find God...
...look at a mother and father taking care of their family...a man going off to fight and die thousands of miles from home in a frozen muddy hole...for another mans? freedom...look at a innocent man hanging on a cross in a place called Golgotha...for the freedom of the world...there you will find God...
...understand...that where there is grand beauty...there is a grand design...and the ability to comprehend that design and beauty is awesome...God is WONDERFUL...open your heart...and see...
...i come in peace...i only want the absolute best for you...Heaven...to God you are more precious than words can express...the galaxies are yours in Christ Jesus...if you want them...you are free to make your own choices...no one is forcing you to believe in the LORD...
...you are a precious creature...a jewel in God's eye...words cannot express...how beautiful you truly are...in Christ...
[Luke 23:33] And when they came to the place which is called The Skull,
there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on the right and one on the left.
[Luke 23:39] One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying,
"Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!"
[Luke 23:40] But the other rebuked him, saying, "Do you not fear God, since
you are under the same sentence of condemnation?
[Luke 23:41] And we indeed justly; for we are receiving the due reward of
our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong."
[Luke 23:42] And he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your
kingdom."
[Luke 23:43] And he said to him, "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with
me in Paradise."
[1 Cor 13:5] ?Love keeps NO record of wrongs.
[Prov 10:12] Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers ALL offenses.
[1John 4:8] He who does not love does not know God; for GOD IS LOVE.
...you are a precious creature...a jewel in God's eye...words cannot express...how beautiful you truly are...in Christ...
Because God made you in His image. When He looks at you, He sees himself.
[Rev 21:8] But those who are full of fear and without faith, the unclean and TAKERS OF LIFE (suicide would fall in this category) , those who do the sins of the flesh, and those who make use of evil powers or who give worship to images, and all those who are false, will have their part in the sea of ever-burning fire which is the second death.
In other words, God is not a fool. If a person says, "I believe in Christ", and goes out and kills 10 people, his words are counted as nothing.
Think back, deep in your mind and memory, how secure, happy, at peace you were when you were 2 sitting in your mother?s lap. Think hard. The memory may be buried deep. Dig it up. Feel in your heart that moment. The love that surrounds you and your mom. God is that love. Anchor your faith in that moment. From there, the whole universe is yours.
...i speak from the voice of experience...i've been around the world...i have 4 children...i've been layed off 3 times in the past 5 years...life has taught me these things...i am big and strong...can bend 20 penney nails...have multiple advanced degrees...a good size family...gone to many places...seen many things...
...repent and call on the name of the Lord...or you will die in your sins...
[Acts 16:31]...Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.
...it is a dead theory because over 100 years...The fossil and geological records show, short periods of world-wide cataclysm, followed immediately by the appearance of complete sets of fully formed fauna and flora, with NO intermediaries - NO missing links. Plants and animals appear, fully formed - static, from the time they show up until they fall into extinction. See - Darwin on trial, Intervarsity Press...
...may the Lord richly bless you...in the Name of the Father...and the Son...and the Holy Spirit...Hallelujah!...Amen!...
...The Secret of Happiness: Praise the Lord in ALL circumstances...
