Some people see only the positives of Christianity and find in it a source of pride and a sense of superiority over others. Others see only the negatives of Christianity and find it a curse to humanity that would be best eliminated. In this series I am trying to be honest with both aspects. But […] The post What If Jesus Had Never Been Born? How Can the Dark Side and the Bright Side of Christianity Co-exist? (What If– 5) appeared first on Jon Paulien's Blog. View the full article

?Conquerors through Him? Romans 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Yep two resurrections, John 5:28 "Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice, 29 and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment. and than Revelation where the two are shown to be 1000 years apart!!

Trevor: You see the New Yerushalom is coming from out of Heaven, after the earth is made New. And I saw a New heaven and a New earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. Rev 21:1 No one even mentions that there will be no more sea and the Greek word means no more salt water. And I John saw the Holy City, New Yerushalom, coming down from ELOHIYM out of Heaven, prepared as a Bride adorned for her HUSBAND. And I heard a GREAT VOICE out of Heaven saying, Behold, THE TABERNACLE of ELOHIYM is with men, and HE will dwell with them, and they shall be HIS people, and ELOHIYM HIMSELF shall be with them, and be their ELOHIYM. Rev 21:2, 3 These people are comprise of two group. The group is called IsraEL again, no longer the nation that was destroyed over 2,000 years ago. They said let us and our children' blood be on the death of YAHSHUA. That sealed their fate as a Hebrew Semitic nation. Deut Chapter 28 was finalized. So, those today that have stood royally and kept HIS Commandment will become IsraEL. To prove it not all twelve brothers nor one nephew did not make it! But those who did will received the honor to have a gate showing he overcame. He will have others of all nationality to walk through the gate they struggle with the worse sin like them and overcame. THE FATHER'S HOUSE will be an HOUSE for all people. The selected 144,000 will be commission to finish the work ancient Israel did not ever do! The new selected IsraEL today do not need an earthly temple. They will witness soon to the great great multitude with THE POWER of THE HOLY SPIRIT and their faith. The will show that YAHSHUA is in THE TABERNACLE not made by the people of this earth. Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an HIGH PRIEST, who is set on THE RIGHT HAND Throne of THE MAJESTY in the Heavens; A MINISTER of THE SANCTUARY, and of the TRUE TABERNACLE, which THE SOVEREIGN pitched, and not man. For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that THIS MAN have somewhat also to offer. Heb 8:1, 2, 3 Then verily the first Covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. THE HOLY SPIRIT this signifying, that the way into THE HOLIEST of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: But THE MESSIAH being come an HIGH PRIEST of good things to come, by a GREATER and more PERFEICT TABLENACLE, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: Heb 9:1, 8, 11-13 You and others including the Israeli are bias over a people instead listening to YAHWEH! Many felled to believer that YAHWEH came to the Canaanites first when all evidence even the KJV points to it. They were suppose destroyed. Why? Because they knew YAHWEH and Melchizedek and the King of Sodom proved it. They both were standing together when Abraham presented the tithe (funny never mention before, but they all understood it!), to the King Priest Melchizedek of THE MOST HIGH! That is because all three knew THE MOST HIGH! For this is the Covenant that I will make with the house of IsraEL after those days, saith YAHWEH I will put my Laws into their mind and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them an ELOHYM, and they shall be to ME a people: And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know YAHWEH: for all shall know ME, from the least to the greatest. Heb 8:10,11 If you fail to see that YAHWEH is calling all souls to repentance and obedient. HE said who will go and today the faithful few (144,000) have become certified with HIS Seal to go very soon to finish this work through the worst time people has yet to see, that is the Time of Trouble! Have a blessed Sabbath

Dear Trevor: Two things these were not the Jews and the prophecy never took place. YAHWEH was showing IsraEL even before HIS SON would come and die; HE showed that HE would protect them. If they would obey HIM, they never did! The Temple that Ezekiel saw never took place also because would not obey! This was the time of sacrifice: After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid. Eze 39:26 No one dwell safely in that land today. And sacrifices, they are gone which represented YAHWEH'S SON would soon died. To show you that what you state is based on commentators who will not accept HIS NAME. Neither do you and these Chapters 38-48 dealt with a promise to be fulfilled. The Temple Ezekiel saw also had a Burnt altar. This way if IsraEL would spread the True Message to the other nations and become the True priest like Melchizedek. However, sadly the never did exactly what warned the would do, they did. Deut Chapter 28 They their own children twice when both temples were destroyed. Blessings!

Salvation At The Cross: Part Two Calvary, is the "unfailing love of Jesus." Are There "Steps To Salvation?" Not really; but there are at least several things that will happen, and these can be collectively known as "salvation." Its really just one step. One event. Just turn to God exactly the way you are. No need for "fixing yourself up" first, or somehow "proving" that you "deserve" salvation, for no one really does. (Eph 2:13). 1/ The involvement of Christ and the Holy Spirit Only the Creator can accomplish the creative work of transforming our lives (1 Thes 5:23). However, He does not do so without our participation. We must place ourselves in the channel of the Spirit's working, which we can do by beholding Christ. As we meditate on Christ's life, the Holy Spirit restores the physical, mental, and spiritual faculties (Titus 3:5). The Holy Spirit's work involves revealing Christ and restoring us into Christ's image (Rom 8:1-10). God desires to live within His people. It was because He had promised "I will dwell in them" (2 Cor 6:16; 1 John 3:24; 1 John 4:12) that Paul could say: "Christ lives in me" (Gal 2:20; 2 John 14:23). The Creator's indwelling daily revives the believers inwardly (2 Cor 4:16), renewing their minds (Rom 12:2; see also Phil 2:5). 2/ Partaking Of The Divine Nature Christ's "exceeding great and precious promises" pledge His divine power to complete the transformation of our characters (2 Pet 1:4). This access to divine power allows us diligently to "add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love" (2 Pet 1:5-7). "If these things be in you, and abound," Peter says, "they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But those who lack these things are blind" (2 Pet 1:8-9, KJV). 3/ Only through Christ: John 14:6 What transforms humans into the image of their Creator is the putting on or partaking of the Lord Jesus Christ (Rom 13:14; Heb 3:14), the "renewing of the Holy Spirit" (Titus 3:5). It is the perfecting of God's love in us (1 John 4:12). Here is a mystery akin to that of the incarnation of the Son of God. 126As the Holy Spirit enabled the divine Christ to partake of human nature, so that Spirit enables us to partake of the divine character traits. This appropriation of the divine nature renews the inner person, making us Christlike, though on a different level: Whereas Christ became human, believers do not become divine. Rather, they become Christ-like in their character, and this basic process is why believers are called "Christians." (Acts 11:26). The Ground of Our Acceptance With God: Read Full Text Here:

Rev 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
