John 3:16 For this is the way God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world should be saved through him.
John 3:18 The one who believes in him is not condemned. The one who does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.
John 3:19 Now this is the basis for judging: that the light has come into the world and people loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil.
John 3:20 For everyone who does evil deeds hates the light and does not come to the light, so that their deeds will not be exposed.

John 3:21 But the one who practices the truth comes to the light, so that it may be plainly evident that his deeds have been done in God.

Should people be concerned about the timing of the Rapture?
There are at least three different versions of the Rapture of Christ’s Church. Most of the conversely is about the timing of the sudden removal of God’s people from the Earth. They will in the blink of an eye (one second) rise up and join Jesus in the air.

Some movies show this happening with people disappearing and leaving their clothes behind. This results in cars, trucks and planes crashing without anyone there to stop them and of course this would be scary for anyone left behind to witness the chaos.

Will it occur before, during, or after the tribulation period? Several different opinions exist amongst fundamentalist and evangelical Christians. Fortunately, when you believe the rapture will occur has no bearing on your salvation if you are saved.

The Rapture could happen before the tribulation just like in the movies “Left Behind” and people that are still here could turn to Jesus and be saved. After all God loves every one of us and wants to save us.

Why take a chance on something so important? Accept Jesus Now!

Lots of information here. http://home.flash.net/~venzor/controversies.htm

Some people may wait around thinking they can accept Jesus later if something does happen. This is not safe. When Jesus returns it’s called the second coming and once that happens it’s over. Besides the tribulation is a tough seven years from what I understand about it. The time to accept Jesus Christ is now!

Accept Jesus Now!

“Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”

If you decided to repent of your sins and receive Christ today, welcome to God’s family. Now, as a way to grow closer to Him, the Bible tells us to follow up on our commitment.

Get baptized as commanded by Christ.
Tell someone else about your new faith in Christ.
Spend time with God each day. It does not have to be a long period of time. Just develop the daily habit of praying to Him and reading His Word. Ask God to increase your faith and your understanding of the Bible.
Seek fellowship with other followers of Jesus.
Develop a group of believing friends to answer your questions and support you.
Find a local church where you can worship God.

Gods Three Deadlines

Those who have studied the Bible already knew there was a creation event; that God created something (in fact, everything) from nothing. But was there actually a “big bang”? Is there any biblical evidence of such an occurrence? The Psalmist wrote, “By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth. He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; he puts the deep into storehouses. Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere him. For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm” (Ps. 33:6-9

It is by the Word of the Lord that creation took place. Again we read, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life…” (John 1:1-4). All life came from the Word, who is Jesus. God sent forth His Word and the world came into being. He spoke and there was life.

The Scriptures are clear that when God speaks, things happen. Isaiah wrote, “As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it” (Is. 55:10).

Just what does the voice of the Lord sound like? The Scriptures describe a most awesome sound coming forth from the mouth of God. The Psalmist tells us, “Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced, with hailstones and bolts of lightning. The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded” (Ps. 18:12,13). The nation of Israel had several opportunities to hear this voice for themselves and their reaction spoke for itself. We read, “Now Mount Sinai was all in smoke because the LORD descended upon it in fire; and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked violently.

When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke and God answered him with thunder…And all the people perceived the thunder and the lightning flashes and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled and stood at a distance. Then they said to Moses, “Speak to us yourself and we will listen; but let not God speak to us, lest we die” (Ex. 19:18,19, Ex. 20:18,19).

Jeremiah also described the results of the powerful voice of the Lord. He wrote, “Now prophesy all these words against them and say to them: ‘The LORD will roar from on high; he will thunder from his holy dwelling and roar mightily against his land. He will shout like those who tread the grapes, shout against all who live on the earth. The tumult will resound to the ends of the earth, for the LORD will bring charges against the nations…This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘Look! Disaster is spreading from nation to nation; a mighty storm is rising from the ends of the earth’” (Jer. 25:30-32). When the Lord raises His voice in judgment the entire world will feel its effects. Truly, our God speaks with great and commanding power.

The most recent and most conclusive scientific evidence points to a creation event; the starting point of the universe; a Big Bang. Well surely a voice as powerful as that may look like a big bang to humans.

The Scriptures are in complete agreement with the concept of a Creation event. God created the universe from nothing. All of the stars, planets, galaxies, as well as all of the life that covers this earth came to be, because God spoke the word and it came into existence. No one was there to hear the sound at the moment of creation but the cosmic microwave background radiation still resounds with the radiant energy of an explosion from long ago.

Though they have the proof of its happening, scientists still struggle to understand what the First Cause was, the mighty force that brought an entire universe into existence from nothing. Those who have studied the Bible understand that when God speaks, things happen. The Word of God was given and the universe sprang into existence at His command. It was a mighty big bang, indeed.

Not sure who put this together but be sure to check the Holy Bible for accuracy and to learn more about Gods Word.

There is a great computer Bible online called the WORD and it’s free. Look up word on google and download it for your computer. It works great on windows 7 32 bit.

With love for my brothers in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ I say Amen.

Take a look at the largest known star with the link below. Think about the Power of God while you look at the incredible size and power of a star so huge that our sun is a tiny speck next to it. It is called Vy canis majoris and is the largest known star. Follow the link below to see. Wait for the pictures to change from star to star.

http://www.techdo.com/images/largest-know-star.htm

This star is a tiny part of Almighty God’s creation.

The Power of God

It’s interesting how unbelievers in television or movies underestimate the power of God. They try to explain how Bible events could have happened naturally by flood or earthquake. Do they not know that God created the Universe in six days simply by speaking it into existence? The huge star above could have been made in the blink of an eye because God wanted to make it. There are No limits on God’s power, none at all.

No Time Constraints

Some people point out facts from our point of view for example the Earth is so many Billions of years old and such. People that study science and work in that field are pretty darn smart and are mostly correct in their observations. There are some details however that are hidden from them. We must remember that God isn’t constrained by time.

He invented it and lives outside of time. I do not pretend to know the method he used and some well meaning Christians have made the mistake of saying they do. For example the Bible says God made Haven and Earth in six days and on the seventh day he rested. It doesn’t say how long he rested and he didn’t have to rest. He rested because he wanted to.

The Power and Love of God has no limits and all mankind would be wise to love him back. His name is Jesus Christ and he created everything including Vy canis majoris and you and me.
Look at the love of God in the world around you. It’s obvious in things like the fact that humans can’t live without bees or without the Moon and many many other things.

With love in the name of our Lord and Savor Jesus Christ,

It’s obvious to me that God placed the moon where it is. Please let me explain. I have always loved astronomy and studied it in school because it’s so interesting like all things in science. Science is pretty darn good at figuring things out and is seldom really wrong about anything. So why would they be wrong when it comes to certain areas like evolution and creation and how the world was formed?

It’s my opinion that they are being influenced by the “Dark Side” if you will, for those of us who like Star Wars and science fiction. Think about it this way. If you were on the evil side of things and you had studied humans for thousands of years you would be expert in the way we think and in using your limited influence where it matters most. The last thing you would want is for people to see the truth. Even the smartest person could be influenced by an evil being that’s been around for thousands of years.

Anyone who studies the Moon closely will discover that it has a loving history with the Earth and Life on Earth would be impossible without it. Oh, and science doesn’t have a good theory how the moon was formed. Only the asteroid crashing into the earth but that one doesn’t work at all.

Witch one is more complicated the Moon or an iPhone? I’ll give you a hint, it’s not the iPhone. So even in billions of years do you think an iPhone could build itself?

Anyone who wants to disagree or just to Moon me is welcome.

Science Confirms The Holy Bible

The Holy Bible can be found in the King James and many other versions. I say this so you will know the Bible I am writing about. It is the Christian Bible and tells us about Jesus Christ who died for the sins of man and is the only way to life.

In popular radio talk shows the hosts and guests talk about the Holy Bible and Christianity as if it is a childish belief system and that Science is the big source of knowledge. They joke about people finding Jesus in Toast or a grilled cheese sandwich, or Mary in a spot on a wall someplace. This kind of thing has nothing to do with Christianity and is contrary to the Word of God.

It’s funny that after joking about Jesus in a grilled cheese sandwich they go home and tell their children they are related to monkeys.

It is my goal to point out a few facts these foolish people do not discuss.

Sometimes they imply we Christians are simply less informed and know little about Science or that we disregard the things that man has learned about the physical world. I for one have enjoyed science in many ways since I was a child.

It was fun to me to study astrometry, electricity, photography. Today its computers, cars and digital cameras and I love to watch as science develops new products and discovers Extrasolar Planets (Love that Mars Lander) It’s fun to watch this stuff.

I point this out to let you know that small details do not easily slip by me. For example trying to convince me of something as stupid as evolution and failing to produce any evidence that hasn’t been proven a hoax is not going to fly.

The Holy Bible is the word of God and unlike any other book. It is the living word of God given to us through many believers thousands of years ago. It is called the Word and it never changes. Every copy of the Word for thousands of years is the same as the Holy Bible we have today. The Dead Sea Scrolls have been compared to the Bible we use today and are the same word for word. Even tiny little silver Scrolls that were recovered by explorers and talked about on the Discovery Channel were the same as today’s Bible.

This is not true of mans words that change every day. History books today are quite different than History books of the 1950s. Any ordinary book that is rewritten will change dramatically. Remember the old pass the word around the classroom and how it comes out as something funny at the last person.

Let’s compare Science discovery’s to The Bible’s wisdom as best we can.

A better understanding can be made at a time period when Science wasn’t so advanced and comparing it to the discoveries of today. So we pick the time before America was discovered.

            Note: Today’s teachers wouldn’t be allowed to show this to school children.

Please look at DANIEL 10 when he Daniel was standing on the bank of a great river and looked up and saw a vision of what seems to be an angelic messenger. The messenger told Daniel to consider carefully what he was about to be told. First he told him not to be afraid. They seem to say this a lot so maybe angels are scary looking but who knows. Next he said “Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them.

Next the angel says he was resisted and detained until Michael a chief prince cane to help.

He was detained when he came in response to Daniel’s prayers? Wow, this is interesting information. Could answers to our prayers be delayed? Be sure to read the Holy Bible for yourself and talk to your pastor about this.

I am not a pastor myself just a Christian with a Bible.

With love in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
