'If We Two' (July 18,2912)
 by Allan Thomasson

If we two walked side by side,
 In the street and in the glen,
 What reaction would we view then
 From observance by all men?

We would fellowship together,
 Speaking then of glorious things.
 Would my friends then come and greet us?
 Hear the things our talking brings?

Or would they but walk broad from us,
 Keepin their eyes on the ground,
 Not perceiving our appearance,
 Nor our words, but only sound?

If we two were me and Jesus,
 And they knew Him by their sight
 As they cast their eyes upon Him,
 Quickly walk on past with fright?

I am walking with my Savior,
 And some people I do know
 Will not closely stay there with me
 When the love of Christ I show.

Many think I am accusing.
 That I do not undertake
 What I'm speaking just to warn them
 Of decisions they might make.

God made us to be His fam'ly.
 Not our flesh yet, but the soul,
 That we might in heaven with Him
 Ever be, as ages roll.

Now you know that Christ is with me;
 Of your welfare we most care.
 If we two can thus convince you
 This relationship we share

Can be yours, now and for ever.
 Eternity's not far away.
 Come with us to the home in glory,
 Live, in that eternal day.

'Equality In Christ'

In Christ Jesus, the only Savior (for He is God, the Word, the 'second' Member of the Godhead, by Whom all thinga were made, including man), all are equal, because true Christianity is spiritual in our hearts and in our minds; for we are not our 'flesh', but a living 'soul' within our flesh. And a 'soul', being spiritual, has no gender, for there is no reproduction of souls outside of conception of a child by a male and a female, at which time, the soul is given to the 'seed', or 'embryo' at the beginning of a child by marriage, which is scripturally limited to a man and a woman for that very purpose of God for 'replenishing (making full') the earth'. (Genesis 1:27-28)

Gender only has to do with religions of the world, as it was with the Jews under the law of Moses, which was a 'shadow' of 'spiritual' good things to come:

Hebrews 10:1-5:

“For the law (only) having a 'shadow' of good (spiritual things, faith) things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
“For then would they not have ceased to be offered? Because that the worshippers (of God Jehovah/ Yahweh) once purged (from their sins) should have had no more conscience of sins (unforgiven).
“But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance (only) again made of (their) sins every year.
“For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.
“Wherefore when He (Jesus) cometh into the world (Galatians 4:4; Matthew 1:18), He saith (unto God, the Father, 'Sacrifice and offering Thou wouldest not (receive, for the offering for the sins of man's hearts), but a body hast Thou prepared Me:
“ In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin Thou hast had no pleasure.
“ 'Then said I, 'Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of Me: John 5:39-40; Acts 10:43; with Luke 24:44) to do Thy will, O God (My Father).'.'.”

Ephesians 2:8-10:

“For by grace are ye saved through faith (in Jesus Christ); and that (neither one of those attributes) not of yourselves: it (salvation from our past sins, which all of us have committed) is the gift of God.
“Not of works (of the law of Moses), lest any man should boast (of 'earning' salvation, which we cannot do, for Jesus procured salvation for all who will believe in Him, to be our Savior).
“For we are HIS workmanship (He constructs us as we dwell in Him), (and we are) created (re-created, born again, a 'new man') in Christ Jesus unto 'good' works (which are performed through 'faith, which worketh by love.': Galatians 5:6b), which God hath before (creation) ordained that we should (continually) walk in them.” (Ref: Romans 13:8-10)

Galatians 3:28:

“There is neither Jew nor Greek (Gentile: everyone that is not a 'Jew', in the natural usage of the term), there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one (and the same) in Christ Jesus.
"And if ye be Christ's (having believed in Him unto salvation of your soul from the sins of your past, which all have committed), then are ye Abraham;s seed (by the faith of Abraham unto righteousness), and heirs (of salvation, and co-heirs with Christ Jesus) according to the promise (of God to Abraham, through faith in Christ)."

and in

Matthew 28:18-20: Jesus speaks to the apostles (and other followers of Christ:
"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, 'All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth.
"Go ye therefore (by My authority over all things, above all other systems of government), and teach all nations (male, female, bond, free, Jew, Gentile...whatever, 'all creatures') (the gospel), baptizing them (that believe the gospel: all creatures) in the name of the Father, and of the Son (God, the Word), and of the Holy Ghost:
"Teaching them (all creatures) to observe (equally) all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world."

Romans 1:16:
16) "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvatin to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek (Gentile: every nation that is not Israel)."

 

I am a duly-appointed, sent, and fully qualified (by Jehovah God, my heavenly Father):

 

'Ambassador For Christ' (II Corinthians 5:19-21)

The most important words that I can say to anyone and everyone on planet Earth is this:

'Christ died for your sins.'

Even though Paul, an apostle of Christ, knew deep mysteries of the only God (Jehovah/Yahweh, by interpretation), this witness of Jesus Christ through the gospel of Christ, isolated this following passage to declare to all people, and all peoples, the most important message in the universe:

I Corinthians 2:2:
2) “For I am determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.”

Why is that the most important message above all others?

Because it is the gospel of Jesus Christ for the salvation of the lost souls of all mankind, as God stated through Paul in this passage of scripture:

Romans 5:8:
8) “But God commeneth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

Why was it necessary that Christ die for us? Aren't we alright just like we are? What was accomplished through Christ dying for all of us?

In the beginning, God created all natural things: the universe; the heaven and the earth. Then God made man in His own image, after His own likeness. And that meant that man was pure, and innocent of sin, for sin had not entered into the flesh of man after God made him.

God gave the man one commandment (law) in the garden of Eden:
Genesis 2:16-17:
16) “And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, 'Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

17) “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.”

God formed woman from the part of Adam's body which God took (which we commonly call 'Adam's rib'), and Adam called her name 'Eve'. (Genesis 1:26-28; 2:22; 3:20)

However, Satan (represented by a 'serpent', or a 'dragon' in the garden of Eden, refuted God's word in the commandment which God gave the man, Adam, and by delusion, deceived Eve, so that she took of the forbidden fruit, and ate of it, and then gave to her husband, and he did eat. And immediately they saw that they were naked, and became ashamed, and hid from God. (Genesis 3:1-8)

And that was the sin which Adam committed, for he had transgressed the law of God, 'for sin is the transgression of the law': (Romans 4:15; I John 3:4).

How did that affect everyone else that lived after Adam and Eve?

Romans 5:12:
12) “Wherefore, as by one man (Adam) sin entered into the world (by Adam's flesh that had transgressed the law of God which God gave to the man, which flesh we also inherited from the lineage of Adam: 'sinful flesh'), and death (came) by sin; so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:”
Hebrews 9:27-28a:

27) “And as it is appointed unto man once to die, and after that the judgment:
28a) “So Christ was once offered (as the only Sacrifice acceptable to God for the taking away of the sins of man) to bear the sins of many (whosoever believeth in Him: Jesus):”

John 3:16-18:

16) “For God so loved (every person in) the world, that He gave (for the Sacrifice for each and every person's sins which we have all committed) His only begotten Son (direct Descendant of God, the Holy Ghost: Matthew 1:18), that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish (as a hopeless sinner into eternity), but have everlasting life.
17) “For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn (any person in) the world, but that (each and every person in) the world through Him might be saved (from their past sins which we have all committed, and the eternal penalty of our unforgiven sins).
18) “He that believeth (in Christ) is not condemned (any longer); but he that believeth not is (still) condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

So then, that is why this is the most important message to every person in the world, because when we come to the knowledge of good and evil, we then become guilty of all the sins we have committed up to that point in our lives, and we are then 'dead in trespasses and sins': Ephesians 2:1.

Paul, the apostle of Jesus Christ, wrote it this way:
Romans 7:9:

9) “For I was alive without the law once (innocent from sin, not knowing 'good and evil'): but when the commandment came (into my knowledge and understanding of sin), sin revived (sprang up into my knowledge, and in my memory), and I died (in trespasses and sins which I had committed).

So then, the most important thing in anyone's life on this earth is to know Jesus Christ as your Savior, from the sins of our past.

Even though God has freely given me a far greater understanding in the 'word of truth' (the Christian Bible) than I ever dreamed I could have, this message of your eternal salvation is the first and best thing in all of that blessed knowledge and understanding that I could give anyone.

And when one believes that gospel of salvation in Christ Jesus, I am overjoyed, because another soul has been 'plucked' from an eternal fate, and placed into the love of God, and into His family, for whom the universe was made; for God wants to build His family upon whom He will bestow the purest love man could ever know upon everyone that will believe in His Son Jesus Christ unto their own redemption, and share that new heaven and earth which He shall build for us, with Himself for evermore, with total peace, joy, and love unending.

Ref: Revelation 21:1-5.

'Government Defined' 

A brief summary of God's eternal power and authority, as the Governor of both spiritual and natural spheres: Infinity and the universe.

Psalm 119:89:
89) "For ever, O Lord, Thy word is settled in heaven."

Malachi 3:6a:
6) "For I am the Lord; I change not;"

Government.

What constitutes a 'government'?

Government consists of a person, a panel, a committee, a group of a kind, etc., which is necessary to bring to order, and to maintain civility in any collection of persons which must be governed, by the agreement of those to be governed, and proper requirements in laws and ordinances must be written, and enforced, so that those specified acceptable regulations will be kept for the good of that people.

If there are any who violate any of those specified civil laws, there must be an investigation, a trial (as is necessary after investigatory findings), and (if a measure of guilt is determined,) there must then be an assessment of that determined guilt, and a fair penalty handed down by a court, or a judge, to match the degree to which that violation affected the 'community' in which it was committed.

These are the basic rules of government. And there will be adaptations concisely written within the laws, and/or the violation(s) thereof, according to the will of the persons over which that government presides...not 'that the government rules'.

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1)

What, if anything, does that have to do with 'government'?

Nothing at that point of creation of all things that exist in the natural existence, all things which were made by God (the Father, and God, the Son (Word), and God the Holy Ghost (Spirit, Spirit of God, Spirit of truth): I John 5:7). However, it does specifically designate 'ownership' of heaven and earth.

There were, during the first four 'days' of creation, no living creatures (creations of God which were alive, having forms and bodies), so there were no natural beings to be governed in the entire universe.

Now it was time (on the fifth day) to cover the earth with oxygen-producing plants, and edible plants, for all creatures which God would make, that they would have everything necessary for their survival, on the earth which God had made.

Then God made the beasts of the field, the fowls of the air, and the fishes of the sea, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth, on the sixth day of creation. (Genesis 1:24-25)

And then God (the Father, and God, the Son (Word), and God, the Holy Ghost) made the flesh and blood and bone of the man, and called his name 'Adam': (Genesis 1:26-27) Then God called their (Adam and Eve's) name 'Adam' (man and wife; Mr. and Mrs. Adam') thus performing the first marriage (with Genesis 5:1-2; Genesis 1:28), God also defining the only acceptable 'marriage': between a man and a woman, and the purpose of marriage, that they might replenish (make full) the earth throughout all generations of man upon the earth, with no substitutions.

'Adam and Steve' couldn't do the 'replenishing', and neither could 'Harriet and Genevieve'. And to God, the Governor of all things, both in spiritual Infinity, and the natural universe, that is an 'abomination'. (Ref: Leviticus chapter 18 (specifically verse 22) and Leviticus chapter 20 (specifically verse 13), with Romans 1:24-28.)

But man was still not complete, for in him, there was no life. Though he had all of the biochemistry of man, and the vital organs, and all of the cells, including the brain, man was not finished.

What was missing? why could the man not walk? and talk? and think? and reason? There were present no abilities for man to function at all. He was yet helpless. Why? What good is man without abilities to function as the living creature he was made to be?

It is because the man had no soul, and no mind, and no 'heart' (Not the pump! It was there also, and ready to function.).

Now it was time to bring the man to his right state of being, and that could not happen until God did what He did next.

As the story of man's creation is reiterated to include more detail than just the making of the flesh body of the man, we find that God must do one other thing to bring all of these things of creation to fruition:

Genesis 2:7:

7) “And (so,) the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath (spirit) of life; and man became a living soul.”

Now the soul is spirit, which saturates the flesh body of the man, living inside the flesh, which is, later in scripture, called 'the inner man'. Then, from that same body of the flesh and bone of Adam, God formed Eve.

So man was made in the very 'image' (appearance) of God, and after God's 'likeness' (had no sin), for man did not have the knowledge of 'good and evil', but innocence, as a little child..

And God, the Maker of man, Creator of the angels, was the Government over both the man, and the angels; and God gave Adam and Eve authority over all other living creatures; as their primary functions and purpose in the earth was stated in previous verses in Genesis chapters one and two.

Genesis 2:16-17: God, the Governor of creation, gave the man, Adam, one law (commandment):
16) “And the Lord God (Governor over all the earth, and all of mankind) commanded the man, saying, 'Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

17) “ 'But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.'.”

Did Adam then not violate that law of the garden of Eden?

Yes, he did:
Genesis 3:6:
6) "And when the woman (Eve) saw that the tree was good for food (the lust of the flesh), and that it was pleasant to the eyes (the lust of the eyes), and a tree to be desired to make one wise (pride of life), she took of the fruit thereof, and did eaat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat."

And as we specified above, there is a penalty for transgression of the law which has been specifically declared by the governing power in a society or community, or group; and in this case, there were two. And that was the entire population of the earth, with regard to mankind.

What, then was the penalty for that transgression (violation) against the established law?

Death. (Romans 5:12; Romans 6:23; Hebrews 9:27)

Just as God declared so concisely to Adam, even the devil heard it; for at that time, the devil, who was formerly 'Lucifer', a heavenly angel, with his band of angels, had been banished from heaven for ever, because of pride in his heart, appeared as a serpent, or, a 'dragon', as he was identified in the book of Revelation, and 'Satan', in other places.

With Lucifer also fell his whole band of angels, for they also conspired with him to take authority over a choice area in heaven, and set up his own rulership in opposition to God's authority as Governor of heaven (Infinity).

And his judgment was quick and distinct, in that Jesus said, 'I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.' (Luke 10:17-18)

God governs both Infinity and the entire universe. And Jesus, being the embodiment of God, the Word, has dominion (power of government) over all the universe:
Matthew 28:18:
18) “And Jesus came and said unto them (the eleven apostles, and possibly other followers of Christ),

'All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth.'.”

Who gave Him that power of government of the universe? The highest Governor of all things, God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, because the pre-incarnate Jesus Christ, the Lord, created all things:

John 1:1-3, 14:
1) “In the beginning (of creation) was (God,) the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2) “The Same was in the beginning with God (John 17:5).
3) “All thing were created by Him (God, the Word); and without Him was not any thing made that was made.”
(Hebrews 11:3; Hebrews 1:2)
14) “And (God,) the Word was made flesh (Galatians 4:4; Hebrews 10:4-5; Matthew 1:18;
Isaiah 9:6-7), and dwelt among us (the apostles, and the Jews of Israel, and all nations of the Gentiles), (, and we beheld His glory, the glory of the only begotten of (God,) the Father,) full of grace and truth.”

So where does man's government come into the government of God, and of His Son, Jesus Christ?

 

Government which is made up of man is allowed by God, the extreme Governor of all things. And man may set up a good government under God, or an evil government of the flesh of man's desire for power, or riches, or control (like Ghengis Khan, or Alexander, the great, or even Albert Pike, or Mohammed), or for some beneficent or 'providential' purposes which they may devise, according to their own natural desire.

Canaan set up his nation, which fell into all opposition to the God of righteousness, and God was obliged, because of the specifically-declared God's laws and statutes, to send Israel into Canaan, and destroy it from off the land, which the Canaanites had defiled. And then, after that nation, and all adjacent nations of similar demeanor, were totally annihilated (their penalty for rejecting the governmental requirements of a just and righteous God that made them), God overcame evil with good, in that He replaced them with His own chosen people (Israel), to occupy that land, revitalizing it with the presence of God, the Governor of Infinity and of the universe.

And He still is. Not presidents, nor kings, or sultans, or shahs, or creators of false and evil religions, not any others who claim power of governing, for God is Governor of all things in the universe by His unquestionable ownership, by creation.

I have studied the principles by which God governs all things, and He has cut mankind a lot of slack in their efforts to overthrow His Governorship; but they cannot: for He rules for ever, throughout time, and before time, and after the universe is gone, and time shall end. Only eternity will then be left, for everlasting.

Isaiah 9:6-7:
6) “For unto us a Child (of the Holy Ghost) is born (Matthew 1:18), unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called 'Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, the everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.'
7) “Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon His kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.”

Does that not sum all 'government' up in proper perspective? Is that not how it has been, and how it is, and how it shall be? Without so much as a hint of a doubt, God is the true Governor of all spheres of any existence, both of the spiritual (Infinity), and of the heaven and the earth (the universe).

Some governments of man God has allowed, because God knew it would come to its end by its own device of error. We have seen governments crumble, and nations perish because men have removed God (only in their own minds) from their governmental systems which they had created.

Are we, the United States, of that sort of government? Will we, as a nation, fall into our own hands of our own devices, and experience that chastisement of God, and then wait for the conclusion of the penalty of man's 'taking charge', leaving God out, and, actually, putting Him out of 'our' government?

God's judgment and justice demands that it be so, for when we put God out of our governmental system, and make every attempt to blot His name off the records, and to elimiate His name altogether, are we so blind, considering all of the times in history when nations (and once, even the whole world, by a flood, were 'purged' off the face of the earth altogether) that we cannot 'see the forest for the trees'? (Genesis 6:12, 17; 7:1, 4, 6, 10, 12, 17-24; 8:1-3)

There is but one way to save what is left of this 'land of the free, and the home of the brave', and that is God's way, seeing He is indeed the Government of all Infinity, and of the entire universe:
II Chronicles 7:14:
14) “If My people, which are called by My name, will humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face (for approval), and turn from their wicked ways (evil doings and rejection of the government of God), then (,and only then,) will I hear from heaven, and forgive their sin (of departure from the living God), and will heal their land.”

We will either do this, or suffer the chastisement and the purging, and possibly the end of these United States, or we will do nothing, and be penalized by the Government which, in judgment and in justice, will most certainly 'purge this land', as He purged the earth with a flood, and the Canaanites with total annihilation by His chosen people, the Jews of Israel, because they defiled the earth, and the land.

There is no power but of God. He is the Government of all things, all angels, all devils, and all people, for:

Psalm 24:1:
1) “The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof (every thing in the earth); the world, and they that dwell therein.
2) “For He hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.”

God orders the earth according to our response to His righteousness, fairly and equitably, for He is in full control:
Daniel 2:21:
21) "And He (God) changeth the times and the seasons: He removeth kings, and He setteth up kings (in accordance with our determinations, either to serve under His righteous ways, or depart from Him, and 'do our own thing', which ways are 'the ways of death'. Proverbs 14:12).

When God has finished gathering His family together, for whom the universe was made, then heaven and earth shall flee from His face (Revelation 20:15; II Peter 3:10-13; Matthew 24:35), and they shall be no more, for then they will be converted back into the infinite (spiritual) 'substance' or 'matter', from which they were first made: Hebrews 11:3.

And all natural scientific matter will also be converted, including our natural bodies, which shall then be eternal, for there shall be no more natural things when God's selection is complete, and His family shall dwell in the new heaven and earth which He shall make: Revelation 21:1-5.

God does not have to be 'voted' in, or 'elected'. He is, and always has been, and will be, the Supreme Governor of all that there is, for He alone owns everything, both in Infinity (the spiritual region of His habitation, the 'real', the 'first' existence, which is invisible, and eternal, and unapproachable by man), and the universe, which He made, and is forever in total and unchallengeable charge.

And His righteousness is the law, and the rules, and the regulation of all living things, both spiritual, and natural. And that will never change, but will remain the same as it always was since anything was made, including angels, for God is the God of peace, and love, and joy, and everlasting life for all who will believe in His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, unto their own personal salvation from our sins, and the eternal penalty of those unforgiven sins at the point of our death.

Jesus said, 'except ye believe that I am He, ye shall die in your (unforgiven and condemning) sins.'

But that same Jesus said:
John 3:16:
16) "For God so loved the (people that are in the) world, that He gave (for the only acceptable Sacrifice for the sins of men) His only begotten Son (, Jesus Christ), that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish (in their unforgiven sins), but have everlasting life."

God loves you, whosoever: love Him back.

'Christ Died For The Ungodly'

How could Jesus die? He was the sinless Son of God, Child of the Holy Ghost! (Matthew 1:18)

Jesus was God, the Word, Who came down from Jesus' Father's throne, and was conceived in a virgin by God, the Holy Ghost (Matthew 1:18), entering into a body of sinless flesh (for He was not born of Adam's sinful flesh: II Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 4:4; John 1:1-14; Hebrews 10:1-5), that He might walk among men, as God spoke to Moses (Deuteronomy 18:18-19); and those men to whom Jesus was specifically sent were only the the Jews of Israel, descendants of Abraham, the father of our faith through Jesus Christ our Lord.

They were the people of the covenant by circumcision.
So, since Jesus was not born with the curse of Adam, how could Jesus die?

Jesus had to be sinless to fulfil His purpose, to be the only Savior by Whom men might come to God, by believing in the only begotten Son of God (Jehovah/Yahweh, more commonly known).

Jesus had no sin as from Adam's sinful flesh, neither did He err in keeping the law of Moses.
 
So when Christ Jesus our Lord was on the cross, being crucified by those to whom He came, He took on all of the sins of the whole world, .

And therefore, being our 'sin-bearer', when He took all of the sins of the whole world, from Adam to the last conceived child, He became guilty of all of our sins, the sins of all of humanity, and of the whole world.

God, the Word did not die, just as, when we die, only our flesh dies; however our soul is eternal; therefore it never sleeps, neither does it cease to exist, nor can it die. And therefore, God, the Word, the Spirit of Christ could not die.
But while Jesus was lying dead in the grave, God, the Word, went and preached unto the spirits that were in 'prison', in Abraham's nearness (bosom), as is detailed in I Peter 3:18-20, and then 'led captivity captive' into the presence of God, being transformed by the word of God, believing in Jesus.
 

'The Sky Is (Not) Falling!'
 
There are perpetrators and promoters of false agenda on our planet, and particularly in our nation.

Ninety percent of all the ice in the world is Antarctica, the South Pole. The other ten percent must be the Arctic, the North Pole.

So why is our 'green' society trying to use fear tactics, using the melting North Pole (which is probably due to the heating from northern multi-national industry and population growth, with trafficking and other heat-generating processes circumferentially around the globe) to convince the world that 'The Ice Is Melting, The Ice Is Melting!', when the ocean's sealevel is basically remaining the same?

We've had droughts and heat waves and continuous hundred-plus degree days of temperature frequently in the past. Nothing is different.

'The Sky Is (NOT) Falling!'

Our (used to be 'our') government needs to stop skirting around the real issues that are bringing this nation down in the view of the whole world, and stop trying to bankrupt America with their rhetoric, with the same 'games', only using different themes and categorical issues.

Note: The South Pole isn't melting! Why? Beccause Antarctica does not have to deal with all the multi-national heat generated by 'civilized' industrial nations of greater populations of the world, as does the Arctic region, as described above!

One human body radiates approximately 1,600 BTU's of temperate and laten heat per hour.

Multiply that by the populations in the northern regions of the world, then add all of the things you can think of that generate massive amounts of heat in those same areas, and then you can understand why the glaciers and ice shelves are deteriorating.

Don't be fooled by something like, 'The Sky Is Falling!'

'Infinity Fills All Things'

Where did God create 'the heaven and the earth' ( the space and contents of the universe)?

In the realm of Infinity, which is another scientific (spiritual) sphere, God's habitat, which fills all things, and saturates the new creation, though we can't see or detect it in any natural way.

Even intelligent and learned scientists of the world have a theory of a region which is of 'another dimension', that science cannot prove is there.

But I know it's there, as I write to them in detail of their 'theoretical' 'universe', which they call the 'intersecting universe':
 
Hebrews 11:3: 'Through faith we understand that the worlds (entire universe) were framed by the Word of God (John 1:1-3), so that the things which are seen (known or can be known to man) were not made of things which so appear (invisible, the spiritual 'things', which were converted by God from 'spiritual' things to 'natural' things).'

'Did You Know' August 26, 2012)
By Allan Thomasson

Did you know God made all things
That you and I behold?
And did you know He gave us words
More precious than pure gold?

He made the space, the stars above,
He made the earth below,

So man could be God's family,
And His great love could know.

But man committed just one sin,
Condemned all flesh of men.
But God had made the perfect Way
To bring us back again.

God sent His Son, the only One
Who would save both one and all
Who would believe upon God's Way,
Then save us from our fall.

Our flesh will die; and here is why:
For in our flesh is sin.
Our flesh, with urges, wills and wants
To control our soul within.

We're not our flesh; we are the soul,
Forever, it shall live,
And by our choice, the Father's voice,
Eternal life will give.

So, now believe in Jesus Christ,
Who died upon that cross,
To save our soul, and make us whole,
That we should not suffer loss.

He'll make new heaven and new earth,
For all His family,
Yes, those who chose God's Way to life,
And there we'll always be.

'After the Legislation': Church Beware!

Forenote:

This is but a sketch of what I have in my head and in my heart to tell all honest and God-fearing people, so I have no fear that you will not 'get it', along with what you already know, and have heard from both the liberal news, and FoxNews, as well as the 'Wall Street Journal' and 'Forbes' magazine'.
I will add more to this when I have the time to do so.

'The laws of the land'

What are they? And where are we headed with them?

First let me mention that God is the Lawgiver of the universe. He always judges rightly. He is the law of the highest realm: Infinity. And whether we yet understand His principles and patternswhich He so plainly expressed to be written by Godly and righteous men, they are right, unchangeable, and just, exactly the way He executes them. I would withstand my head being chopped off rather than to refute those statements, because in the reality of the Infinite Spirit of the most high God, He has shown them to me.

No, not in a vision, but in a momentary specific revelation: I have seen His workings, many of which no man has witnessed, except the prophets, and perhaps the apostles (more than likely Paul, the apostle).

I am an ordinary man, no different than any other person on earth. But I have humbled myself before my Father, God Jehovah, and I love everyone as He does (because He made us all in His image); and I exercise the biblical charity to all people, and to all peoples, as the scriptures say, and as I am directed by the Spirit of truth, for He guides me into all truth as I walk before Him in obedience to the Father of the household of faithl Therefore, I write all He gives me.

I am not seeking remuneration for any thing I do. Neither do I seek popularity or grandeur, and I am not starting a new movement.

I am, however, one of very few who seeks the perfect, precise and unarguable truth of God, that I might give it to the saint, the sinner, and the Church, that we might be as God has given us the pattern to be, when we seek Him in perfect humility, and with charity among all brothers and sisters in Christ, regardless of their affiliation, and their doctrinal differences among themselves, therefore I am continuing the ministry of Christ, and of Paul, without a single change, for it seems we haven't observed those things in the about two thousand years of the Church age.

So here is that pattern which God designed for the Church:

I Corinthians 1:10:
10) "Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing (truths, principles, practices, patterns of God), and that there be no divisions (denominations) among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together (I Corinthians 12:27) in one mind
(I Corinthians 2:14) and in one judgment (Acts 10:43-48).'

And that is the pattern which we all must come to. Otherwise, we are all out of the will of God not to observe all of God's principles and patterns, in the love of God, with humility, and charity toward all whom God has created in His own image, keeping all of Jesus' commandments:
Ref: Deuteronomy 18:18-19; John 14:21-24; Matthew 22:47-40; John 13:34-35; John 14:15-17...

If we don't do it God's way, we will remain as we are, a 'divided nation' of Christ's body. We cannot do this any other way. It's His way, because He is all-knowing, and knows the hearts of all men. Not only that, but He had a purpose, and a plan, and prociedures, and principles, and everything, right down to the smallest detail all worked out before he ever made one thing in this material universe. And I have seen the perfection of His plan, as He has said in this verse:

Isaiah 55:8-11:
 8) " 'For My thoughs are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways', saith the Lord.
 9) " 'For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.
10) " 'For as the rain cometh down (in its specific pattern which is designed by God), and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11) " 'So shall My word be that goeth forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.'."

And the word which comes out of the mouth of God is that which shall accomplish His will in all the earth, and prosper in the things whereto He has sent it:

Joshua 1:8: God commands Joshua:
 8) "(The words which God has spoken in) This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth (so not stop speaking it); but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success."

So then, how do we succeed in spiritual things in God, and in Christ our Savior and our Lord? And how shall we prosper in the things of God, which He has commanded us in greatest love to oberve, and to do?

II Timothy 2:15:
15) "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."

God's Domain of His Government:

The universe was created in Infinity, therefore the universe is within His jursdiction. You can' t vote Him into or out of office. His laws are right, and just, for His laws are of love for all. We have the right to receive that love of God: or reject it, and let our own flesh, with the affections and lusts, take our soul (which is actually each of us inside this body of temporal flesh) to hell, and then through the final judgment, to the eternal lake of fire, where all the wicked (the devil and his fallen angels, and rejectors of the love of God) shall forever be. (Revelation 20:10-15)

He loved Lucifer before Lucifer rebelled against God's authority and power. Then Lucifer overstepped his bounds, had pride in his heart, and made this declaration:

'I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High (God).' (Isaiah 14:13-14)

Therefore, Lucifer, called Satan, and, the 'devil', rebelled against God as He declared that he would be equal to God.

God made all the angels, including Lucifer and his band. He was chief and commander of that band of angels in his charge, but he deceived and deluded them with his declaration of the great power, which he didn't have. Therefore, he was the first liar, and, therefore, the 'father of lies', and the father of liars, as Jesus confronted the priests and the Pharisees when He came to earth, and inhabited the body, Jesus Christ, which He would sacrifice for the sins of all who would believe in Him to be our Savior and our Redeemer from our sins which were resident in our own flesh (in all of Adam's generations).

Now the devil is lying to all men, and deceiving and deluding them, and taking the souls of all who will follow him in their sinful flesh all the way to hell, because they think they will be alright not believing in Jesus our Lord. And that is the law of Satan, the wicked. Now he is deluding and decieving men, politicians, governments, lawmakers, congresses and courts, with the 'polite' laws which are becoming national policies throughout the United States of America.

What does 'The Constitution of the United States of America' mean today? Same as it did when it was written? Obviously not; for we have had to 'amend' the constitution many times, to more fully define its original purpose, and to revise in clearer wording as to its true purpose for all honorable citizens.

Christians, do what you can do before the rapidly-forming government policies and politicians close the door on us and make it impossible for us to express freely the true word of the true God Jehovah.

After the legislation of changes in policy, redefining of certain portions, words and statements, writing more and different policies, and enacting certain 'upgrades' in procedures and programs set up by the presidents, the congress, and the supreme court, perpetually, we are in deep sewage of baser consistency. And it will get a whole lot deeper.

For example:

The government is using terms like 'hate groups', and 'hate crimes', and 'discrimination', and other 'harmless' words to take care of some of those problems which might otherwise develop, but for the proper usage of those terms; and they are the same 'harmless' words and phrases which will later be used against the Church of Jesus Christ, so that we cannot speak a word of the Lord to sinful men who participate in abominable sexual activity with other men, and women with women

(Romans 1:26-28; Exodus chapters 18 and 20); and that may become a common occurrence when we do speak love in a warning to them of those things, regardless of what God the final Judge says.

For the government has already assigned to the homosexual 'community' a 'minority' status; and all minorities have precedence over all other, are most closely and severely protected (even from our 'freedom of speech'), and can cry, 'discrimination'; and it's our Jim Dandy government to the rescue.

How has this nation fallen into such low patterns since 1789, the year of the Constitution?

The same way Communism took over the minds of men of the flesh in Russia, and Nazism took over the minds of Germany, and now Great Britain, with Socialism, and the United States with 'Obamaism'. 'Inch by inch, at first, then, foot by foot, after that, yard by yard, and now, mile by mile.'

Check it out. See what changes have taken place from the time Obama began his campaign for president, and realistically how they are taking shape, leading to 'global government'. Raising an uproar because of the burning of one 'Q'uran' (muslim 'bible'), as opposed to Obama ordering the burning of a whole shipment of Christian Bibles to the middle east.

Whose side does it look like he favors?

Why is it we must guard our rights more than any other organization? Because the devil (Lucifer, Satan) is not against false religions or man's organizations, but after God's. And it's high time we come together, as God gave Hosea the prophecy that we would in BC725.

(Ref: Hosea 6:1-3; Isaiah 55:8-11)

It's not all Christianity who is fighting against the whole world, for true Christians are seeking to save them from their own flesh, with the affections and lusts. It is God standing for believers in Christ, to warn us of things to come, because of the chastisement of the Church, which could not stay together, and split up into its own divisions, contrary to the commandment of God through Paul in this verse:
I Corinthians:1:10, thereby not keeping the commandments of Jesus Christ in humility and with charity and patience, to love our neighbour as ourselves. We aren't even loving God with all our heart, and with all our soul, and with all our mind, because we aren't keeping the commandments of Jesus Christ, those commandments (sayings, words) being the very words of God:
Deuteronomy 18:18-19: God speaks to Moses of Jesus Christ:

18) “I will raise them (the Jews of Israel) up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put My words in His mouth; and He shall speak unto them all that I shall command Him.
19) “And it shall come to pass, that whosoever doth not hearken unto My words which He shall speak in My name, I will require it of him (that doth not hearken).”

We must now conform as near as possible to the pattern of the Church which God gave to Paul, the apostles:
I Corinthians 1:10:

10) “Now, I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing (doctrines, principles, truths of God), and that there be no divisions (denominations) among you; but that ye be perfectly joined (I Corinthians12:27) together in the same mind and in the same judgment.”

How can we do that, seeing that we have so many different doctrines throughout the Church?

Only one way: God's way:

First, we must shake off the will of the 'flesh, with the affections and lusts', because the flesh (yes, our own flesh) is 'Ishmael', of whom was said, 'This shall not be thine heir' in the house of Abram/Abraham, the father of our faith through Jesus Christ; but the 'promised son' (Isaac, in the house of Abraham) is the child of faith by the promise of God to Abraham.

Ishmael was the 'child born of the flesh', and represents the rebellious and demanding flesh of man; but Isaac was the 'son of promise', of the spirit, of faith, which represents all believers in Christ Jesus, who are 'heirs of salvation'.

There are hundreds of thousands of hints and insinuations within the laws and precedences of this nation that can be manipulated by politicians and lawmakers and justices and judges which can already immediately close every Christian movement that we could institute, day and night, for the rest of our lives.

Look at the 'separation of Church and state'. There is no such law; and the Constitution states clearly that the free practice of 'religion' is not to be restricted by the laws which the legislative brandh (congress) shall make (not the Suptrme Court, which has been reiterpreting the laws of the land in pernicious ways, the last 'lemon' decision being that the cost of the 'Obamaplan' is a 'tax'!).

To many uncouth and ungodly men who are in opposition to the gospel and the word of truth, Christians should not even have the right to vote, or to speak of the government, or politicians, or courts, or any legality in this country.

And it is 'discrimination' to the atheist to even display any Christian symbols on public property, even though Christians pay equal taxes to the atheist, or any other God-despisers and opposers to the family of God.

And prayer in school? Christian themes in plays (unless they're ridiculing Church or Christians or Christianity, which is ok, even to too many 'Christians') are 'unconstitutional', and 'discriminating'.

You could bet your best mule that the muslims won't have those difficulties, though.

Why?

Because Islam is not threatening to the devil, but rather it is in opposition to Christianity as well as the atheists, the heretics, the infidels, the sinners; part of the many worldly non-Christian religions.

The cry of the people who do the crying will determine the direction which the government will take, and they will be written into law. (Lobbyists, ACLU, ACORN, etc.)

What can we as Christians do?

Again, come together, without quibbling, contending, arguing or despising one another or judging, as in Romans chapter fourteen, with charity, and fellowship around the gospel of Jesus Christ:

I Corinthians 2:2:

2) “For I am determined not to know any thing among you, save Christ, and Him crucified.”

And that is the gospel, that Jesus died on the cross for the sins of all who will believe in Him unto salvation from our past sins, and their eternal penalty: John 3:16.

Closing note:
I have a lot of research to do on this 'sketch' which I have written. It's less than eighty days until the election day, so I wanted to get these thoughts into the 'mill', so that all of us conld consider how we were tricked and hammered and mesmerized by the lies and false promises which did not make things better, but mountains worse. We got into a hole, but this administration would not stop digging!

Seeing, however, that there are so many spiritual writings of truth I started writing, and must complete ASAP, I may not get back to this very soon; but I think there is enough factual and logical matter here for any intelligent person to assimilate, and add to it their own thoughts along this same line of practical thinking. And if you read my blogs, you will see that God has blessed me with more than I can write of His truths which are in His 'word of truth', hidden for Spirit-filled believers to comprehend and assimilate.

God loves you: love Him back!

'Still Under Construction'

Please note that all of these posts on this blogspot are still in final edit, and some are posted, though incomplete, as I felt the necessity to post them so that many could research their content, and possibly finish them out as they find clarity and more (appropriate) detail, using the scriptures as your study guide, and portions of other posts in this blogspot.

I have hundreds more writings which are also under construction, most of which has not been known to most of the world, including much of the church world, for the mysteries and hidden knowledge of God is only revealed by Him at His appointed time; and now is the time for many of the hidden wisdom of God to be revealed, and will be added as it is revealed, because God wants every one to know His truth.

And by observing the varying doctrines of the Church that Jesus built, these truths must be published, for we in no way conform to the pattern of the Church, which is defined in this scripture:
I Corinthians 1:10: The apostle, Paul, writes, as commanded by Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:18-20):
10) "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 one mind and in one judgment." (Ref: I Corinthians 12:27)

I am writing the will of God to correct that situation, which will only be accomplished by the full understanding of Romans chapter fourteen, which specifies precisely that each individual believer must be perfect in humility, and having total charity to those of other denominations, without quibbling, despising, contending, debating or otherwise utilizing any tactic or pressure which would not bring peace, 'for God hath called us to peace'.

So we must seek for those things which make for peace.

Paul expressed his 'bottom line', should it come to that, in the following scripture:
I Corinthians 2:2:
2) "For I am determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified."

Therefore, we must love one another, in spite of our doctrinal differences, as we teach God's truth at each opportunity:
John 13:34-35:
34) "(Jesus said) 'A new (and more specific) commandment I give unto you, 'That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one anothsr.'
35) "By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another.'."

Therefore, with faith, it takes humility (not rationed!), and charity toward all sisters and brothers. Then we trust God, for we have done it His way, and He will finish the work in the hearts of us all.

Who is 'running the show'?
Then we must know the 'script', and keep Christ's commandments:
(See: John 14:21-24 with Deuteronomy 18:18-19)

This we must do for the souls of the lost and dying world; so let's 'bite the bullet' and do it!

We've tried our way, now let's do it God's way: (See: Isaiah 28:9-10; Isaiah 55:8-11)

'The Gifts and Calling of God'

Romans 11:29:
29) "For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance."

That's what the word of God speaks through the apostles.

What does it mean?

For every principle of God, there is an exact example or event shown in the word of truth, which specifically demonstrates how, and by whom, (and when, if necessary on a time line), each principle is established, and is to be followed by all believers, as it applies to each believer:

I Corinthians 12:27:
27) "Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular."

Only those who have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, unto our own salvation, are 'the body of Christ, and members (of Christ's body) in particular.'. We are the sons of God, by grace, through faith, believing in Jesus as our Savior from our past sins, and their eternal penalty, if not forgiven:

John 8:24: Jesus speaks to the Jews, and the same principle applies to all individuals in every nation::
24) "I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am He, ye shall die in your sins."

What is the plan of God for the ones who have not believed?

John 3:16-18: Jesus speaks to every sinful man, descendants of Adam's flesh:
16) "For God so love the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish (die in our sins), but have everlasting life.
17) "For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn (any person in) the world, but that the world through (believing in) Him might be saved (from their sins).
18) "He that believeth on Him is not condemned (any longer by their unforgiven sins which we had committed); but he that believeth not is (still) condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

And if we have truly believed in Jesus, as the scripture says, we receive the gift of salvation, and life everlasting. Here's how it works:

Ephesians 2:8-10:
 8) "For by grace (of God through Christ) are ye saved through faith (in Jesus Christ, Who died for all who will believe in Him), and that (is) not of yourselves. It is the gift of God.
 9) "Not of works (of righteousness by the keeping of the law of Moses), lest any man should boast.
10) "For we are HIS (God the Father's) workmanship (construction), created (re-created, born again, a 'new man') in Christ Jesus unto 'good' works (which are done in 'faith, which worketh by love'), which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."

Some of us, God will call to a specific ministry (I Corinthians 12:27), and, as the gifts of God are not recalled ('without repentance'), neither is the calling which we may be called: I Corinthians 12:28, for instance.

In part two of this brief writing, I will explain how some very special believers actually handled their specific calling: and you will be very surprised.

God loves YOU! Love Him back. It's your eternity, preserve it. Believe in Christ, and keep on believing in Him: John 14:21-24.

'Prophets And Principles'

When Jesus was defining the total contents of the Bible (the 'Old Testament' being all the Bible there was at that time, for Jesus had not given the commandment to the apostles yet to 'teach all nations' 'to observe (do, keep, and teach) all things whatsoever I have commanded you.'
(Matthew 28:19-20), therefore they wrote to the Church (various churches) all those things that Christ commanded them; therefore being 'all things whatsoever' Jesus had commanded them, and those accounts and epistles became the 'New Testament'), He named them as follows:

Luke 24:44:

24) “And He (Jesus) said unto them, 'These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet (prior to His crucifixion and death, burial and resurrection) with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning Me.'

Does that mean that the Old Testament alone contained prophets, and that in the New Testament there were no prophets?

What saith the scriptures?

I Corinthians 12:27-28:
27) “Now ye (, the Church of all believers in Christ,) are (, in totality,) the body of Christ, and members in particular.
28) “And God hath set some in the Church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.”

So God also set prophets in the Church, which are 'members in particular', and function as a specific member of the body of Christ is assigned to function.

Were the apostles prophets?

Let me answer that with this question: Did they not write 'scriptures'? Then they were that partucular member, and therefore, 'apostles'. (Ref: Ephesians 19:20)

However, any believer must function in whatever 'office' he/she is called upon to do at any given time by the Holy Ghost; therefore we are to 'do the work of an evangelist', or a teacher, or a prophet, or an apostle (though there are no apostles but twelve in the Church, for an apostle must have been chosen by Christ Himself, and were given authority to write scriptures), for we all have the same Spirit, Who gives those gifts to whom He chooses, particularly when one who ordinarily functions as that 'member in particular' is not immediately available, and that function must be accomplished.

Are there apostles to day in the Church?

No. The twelve apostles of the New Testament, and the prophets of the Old Testament, were the writers of the scriptures, which are the literal foundation on which the Church was built by Jesus Christ, Himself being the 'Head of the corner', or, the 'Cornerstone' (where Jews and Gentiles meet, in the faith of Abraham, believing in Christ Jesus, and becoming sons of God, according to the promise of Abraham, and the covenant God made with Abraham (Genesis 17:1-11), as fulfilled in Jesus Christ our Lord. (Reference scriptures: Ephesians 2:1-22; Matthew 28:18; Galatians 3:18-19)

Now as a prophet, the apostle, Paul, also known as 'Saul', when he spoke a thing, it was acted upon by God, for Paul spoke in faith, as his spirit was prompted, to do the will of the Father.

One such incident is found in the following scripture:

Acts 13:6-11:

6) “And when they (Saul and Barnabas) had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus:
7) “Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.
8) “But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn the deputy from the faith.
9) “Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on nim,
10) “And said, 'O full of all subtlety and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
11) “And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season.' And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.”

Now I would not be wrong to say that, by this principle of God, being a scripture in the Bible, God also will cause a 'mist' and a 'darkness' (blindness) to fall upon each and every one who will fall into the same classification as Elymas the sorcerer, and you will not be able to comprehend the things of God (the 'light') for a season, until you return to God, and receive Christ as your Savior, and your sins be taken away. Then your eyes will be 'lightened', and you will be able to see the things of God which you had perverted, and faith will grow in your heart.

Avoid that delusion and confusion. Stop perverting the right ways of the Lord, and receive Jesus now.

We who believe in Christ and follow Him, were all of that same 'species' of human, which is termed as a 'sinner', so we are not at all unaware of what other 'sinners' face, being without Christ. But we are now more familiar with the better side of life, the life for which we were initially made to live in Christ, and are commanded in the love of God to take the gospel of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ to all the 'lost souls' of men who are still without Christ, and must be saved during their time on earth.

You can stay as you are, in contempt of the righteousness of God, or be redeemed by the shedding of Jesus' blood for you on the cross and change your 'fate' of a sinner to a 'destiny' of a believer, a son of God, saved by grace, because you believed in Jesus Christ to become your Savior.

Romans 5:12:

12) “Wherefore, as by one man (Adam, who sinned, and polluted all his generations after him with a sinful nature in our flesh) sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all (flesh of all) men, for that all (of us) have sinned:”

Romans 5:8:

8) “But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

John 3:16-18:

16) “For God so loved (each and every person in) the world, that He gave (for the only acceptable Sacrifice for the taking away of our sins) His only begotten (physically born) Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish (as a sinner, having unforgiven sins which had not been taken away), but have everlasting life.
17) “For God sent not His Son to condemn (any person in) the world, but that (each and every person that believes in Jesus, the only Savior of lost souls of men in) the world through Him might be saved (by believing).
18) “He that believeth on Him is not condemned (any longer); but he that believeth not is (still) condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

God loves you. Love Him back.

'Afterlife Of The Bible' (Summary)

As we pour into our minds the true words of the Bible, we find that all things point to the 'afterlife', which is more commonly known as 'life after death'. This occurs in 'eternity', or, 'Infinity'.

John 5:39-40: Jesus speaks to the Jews concerning what they know of the 'afterlife':
39) "Search the scriptures (the Old Testament: the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms, which is the only Bible available at that time, because Jesus had not yet commanded the apostles to 'teach all nations': Matthew 28:18-20; See Luke 24:44); for in them ye think ye have eternal life (after this life): and they are they which testify of Me."
40) "And ye will not come to Me, that ye might have life."

I was delivering the eulogy at a friend's burial service several years ago, and when it came time for me to refer to 'the departed loved one', I hesitated for a brief second or so. Then I continued forthwith, not with the traditional reference to her 'demise', or her 'passing': instead, I began to speak these words, convinvingly:

'She is not dead. Her body has passed on, having lived to its full extent in this life: and now, she has passed into the next phase of her brand new life, eternal life. And should we bid her to please return, I'm sure that she would flatly refuse to honor our most sincere request, being in that lovely and unimaginably peaceful setting to which she has now gone. She is with her Lord and her Savior, Jesus Christ, and her loving heavenly Father, Jehovah God, her Maker. But we shall see her again some time in the future, either when Jesus comes for the rest of us who have believed in Him as our personal Savior, or when we also shall reach that point of our own demise.'

Jesus, speaking to unbelieving Jews (to whom He was sent by the Father: Deuteronomy 18:18-19):

John 5:39-40:
39) “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of Me.
40) "And ye will not come to Me, that ye might have life.”

Obviously, in that scripture alone, Jesus spoke only to the Jews themselves, who alone had the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the Psalms, which was the Old Testament, as described specifically by Jesus Himself (Luke 24:44), before the New Testament was written by the apostles, as Jesus had commanded them to 'teach all nations' (Jews and Gentiles: Matthew 28:18-20), the Jews were totally, and in great detail, informed of the afterlife, based upon what Jesus had spoken to them.

What is 'eternal life', and 'everlasting life' (John 3:16)? It equates to 'never dying, but living on, and without interruption. And the life to which Jesus referred is that which we understand to be the life of those who are saved by the grace of God, through faith in Jesus Christ:

John 11:23-27: Jesus, speaking to Martha, sister of Lazarus:

23) "Jesus said unto her, 'Thy brother shall rise again.'
24) “Martha saith unto Him, 'I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.'
25) “Jesus said unto her, 'I am the reurrection, and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
26) “ 'And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believest thou this?'.
27) ”She saith unto Him, 'Yea, Lord: I believe that Thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.'."

And that is everlasting life, for the soul of man is eternal, for it is the spirit of a man. The soul cannot sleep, neither can it be unconscious, but is constantly aware at all times.

And, being 'spirit', the soul will leave the body at the instant of our death, and go where it is assigned to be, depending upon whether it was still in innocence, or had believed in the only begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ, or whether it did not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. Now how hard is that for us to determine for ourselves, knowing the gospel? We each shall then either be saved, or we won't.

Believing in Jesus is not natural, but spiritual. It is of the soul of man, and not the flesh that believes.

The flesh is not inclined toward God, but rather rejects God, and is only inclined toward the worldly and the sinful things that are in the world; the lust of the eyes, and the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life', 'with its affections and lusts'. And because of that sinful nature of our flesh, which we inherited from Adam who sinned, all of Adam's generations are condemned to physically die.

(Romans 5:12; Romans 3:23; Hebrews 9:27)

Ezekiel 28:20: The principle of sinning:

20) “The soul that sinneth, it shall die (experience for ever the second 'death', which is separation from God for ever, in hell, and later, in the lake of fire, immediately after the judgment seat of God, the first death being that of the body of flesh of a man).”
(See Revelation 20:10-15)

Deuteronomy 18:18-19: God speaks to Moses of Christ to be sent to Israel under the law of Moses:

18) “I will raise them (Israel) up a Prophet from among (not 'of') their brethren, like unto thee, and will put My words in His mouth; and He shall speak unto them (the Jews of Israel) all that I shall command Him.
19) “And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto My words which He shall speak in My name, I will require it of him (that doth not hearken).”

Luke 24:44: Jesus declares the content of the 'Old Testament' of the Christian Bible to the apostles:

44) “And He (Jesus) said unto them (the apostles), 'These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you (before Jesus' death, burial and resurrection), that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning Me.”

Matthew 28:18-20: Jesus commands the apostles, thereby commanding all believers:

18) “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, 'All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth.
19) “ 'Go ye therefore, and teach all nations (the gospel), baptizing them (that believe the gospel) in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20) " 'Teaching them (all believers of all nations, both Jews and Gentiles) to observe (do, and teach) all things whatsoever I have commanded you. And, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.' Amen.”

However, by their 'keeping the law', they attained nothing on the order of 'eternal life', as Jesus therefore referred, though they were apprised of the afterlife, or, eternal life.

Daniel 12:2: Daniel speaks of the resurrection of two separate groups of the dead (bodies) of man:

2) “And many (all) of them that sleep (the dead bodies of those who have passed into death, and their eternal souls have passed into either heaven for the righteous, and hell for the wicked, which are those who did not believe in Jesus Christ while the opportunity was available) in the dust of the earth shall awake (their eternal soulls will come back to again come into their dead bodies, and they will be resurrected), some to everlasting life (the righteous, for their souls cannot be destroyed, for the soul is the eternal spirit of man, whom God created: Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 2:7; for they had either believed in Jesus Christ, or died in the innocence of their youth), and some to shame (disgrace, condemnation) and everlasting contempt (which are those who never believed in Christ, and died in their unforgiven sins, without righteousness, therefore, classified with the 'wicked').

Where will you be in eternity? Will you forever be in the lake of fire with the devil and his wicked angels, where you will have nothing but eternal torment, and relive your life of regret over and over again? Or will you believe in Jesus now, and live in that eternal heaven and earth which God shall build for His family of sons, who believed in Jesus Christ, or did not come to the end of their years of innocence, where there is a hundred percent of joy, peace, love, and all the attributes of God for ever?

Revelation 20:10-15, or Revelation 21:1-5. You now have your choice, as God calls for your decision.

James 4:14:
14) "Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even (just, but) a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away."

God loves you: love Him back!

When The Universe Is Gone

'When The Universe Is Gone'

I am walking with Jesus, for I know where He will ultimately be when the universe is gone, and only spiritual things remain.

When God has selected His eternal family of believers in His Son, Jesus Christ, and Christ reigns for a thousand years upon this earth for one last call to eternal life, there shall be no more need for any natural thing, because God's family will then be completed, and tha...t is the only purpose God had in creating the universe; therefore, it shall pass away:

Matthew 24:35: Jesus declared:

35) "Heaven and earth shall pass away (out of existence in its current state of substance), but My words shall not pass away."

II Peter 3:10-12: Peter explains in a commonly-acceptable analysis as to how this will occur:

10) "But the day of the Lord will come as a (stealthy) thief (would come) in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away (cease to exist) with a great noise, and dthe elements (substance of the universe) shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burnied up (made to no longer exist as the substance it was).

11) "Seeing then that all these things shall be disslolved (no longer detectable by natural science), what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12) "Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?"

Revelation 20:11: When the earth and the heaven shall flee out of existence:

11) "And I (John, the apostle) saw a great white throne, and Him (God) that sat on it, from Whose face the earth and the heaven (space, with all its contents) fled away; and there was (no longer) found a place for them (for the purpose of God on the earth, which was to make for Himself an eternal family, taken from the population of the earth, was finished; and there was no more purpose for them)."

 If you are walking in flesh, with its ungodly affections and lusts toward the pleasures of sin and unrighteousness (even though you may be moral), instead of walking with Jesus, in the righteousness which He bought on Calvary's cross with His own life, you are walking straight to eternity without Christ, and without hope; not because of the sins which we have all committed, but because you have not believed in Jesus to the salvation of your soul from the effect of sin being in your life, unforgiven, and therefore are classified as 'wicked':

John 3:16-18. Jesus Himself declares the gospel:

16) "For God so loved (each and every person in) the world, that He gave His only begotten Son (, Jesus Christ, to be the only Savior and Sacirifice for the taking away of the sins of fallen man), that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish (as the wicked, the non-believer), but have everlasting life.

17) "For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn (any person in) the world, but that (each and every person in) the world through Him might be saved (from their sins which they have committed, and the eternal penalty of those sins).

18) "He that believeth on Him is not condemned (any longer, for their sins are taken away); but he that believeth not is (still) condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

 I don't know if this may be the case for all 'wicked' (unbelievers in Christ), but there is an extreme possibility that in the lake of fire, which is eternal, and the soul is forever indestructible, you will hear all the witnesses of Christ, in their distinct and clear voices as they ministered the gospel and the salvation message to you while you lived your life upon the earth, and you may ask yourselves the question, 'Why did I not listen?' and it will then be too late. They are those who love you, and want you to be forever with them in that new heaven and earth, where righteousness prevails with love, joy, and peace evermore, without the sin-seeking flesh we lived in on earth, but with a transformed eternal body, redeemed by the blood of 'the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sins of the world.'

Don't remain in your sinful position! Believe in Jesus now, and your 'fate' will then be 'destiny' in that place beyond the universe where all believers will be, forevermore the family of our great God Jehovah.

'I Really Didn't Care' (July 6, 2012)
By Allan Thomasson

When I first heard of Jesus Christ,
I Really Didn't Care,
I thought, 'After this life, I won't

Be going anywhere!'

That's what I thought then,
And a great while after;
So I went ahead, had all my fun,
My pleasures, all the laughter.

But then one day, it hit me
Square in my face:
'There's a life after this one,
And I'm going some place.'

It may be heaven,
But it might be hell.
I'd do fine in the one,
But in the other, not so well!

For I heard in one,
There'd be joy evermore,
But the other, oh! the other one,
We must not ignore.

For my soul is indestructible,
My body, not so much:
So I called upon the Savior
For His soul-healing touch!

Then I felt the loving hand of Jesus
Laid upon my heart;
And I knew I was forgiven,
And He never would depart.

'It's as easy as that!',
As I often say to others:
So, believe in Jesus Chrsit, and be
My sisters and my brothers!

'Would You Believe' (July 7, 2012)
By Allan Thomasson

Would you believe me if I told you
Jesus made the universe?
Some may take what I just said,
But others won't; and worse,

They wouldn't any way receive
That Jesus Christ was God,
For many are so well convinced,
That, while on earth He trod,

He wasn't more than just a man,
The same as you and me.
And that He could not, would not, ever
Make that claim. You see,

The scripture says He's God's own Son,
In Mattew one, eighteen.
In Hebrews eleven, one and two,
The truth will now be seen,

And First John five, verse eight, we see
In the 'Godhead' ('God') there's Three,
The Father, Word, and Holy Ghost.
So it's real plain to me:

Since Jesus, direct 'Child of God',
Is of that 'Trinity',
And in the book, John, chapter one,                   (verses 1-17)
Defines that He must be.

He took upon Him flesh of a man,                      (Galatians 4:4; Hebrews 19:1-5)
But not of Adam, no!
Without the sin of sinful men,                             (II Corinthians 5:21)
To that cross He alone could go.

Christ only was acceptable
To be that Sacrifice,
And die for men, take away our sin,
And He paid that awful price.

In Hebrews ten, verse five, it says
God had prepared for Him
A body He could sacrifice,
To save the souls of men.

For bulls and goats could not approach
To take our sins away;
The law was but a 'shadow' of
Good things to come some day.

So when He came in the Father's name,
He thus fulfilled the law,
And when we then believe in Him,
Our sins He shall withdraw.

Now He's preparing us a place,
All believers there shall go,
For He, The Word, as you've now heard,
Came to this earth below,

To thus fulfil God's purpose in
The making of all things;
And now 'the family of God'
Will rule and reign as kings.

And we'll escape the rage of hell,
And of the lake of fire,
And go to that sweet home above,
He'll fulfil love's great desire.

No longer shall this mortal be,
For we have been translated
Into that everlasting state
For which we've long awaited.

'These Poems'

 

These poems I write are just for you in particular, 'whosoever', for your one single soul is as important to God as any on the earth; and He does everything to try to convince you all to make the right decision about eternity, and believe in His Son, Jesus, that your sins may be (as every person's must) taken away just because you made that decision, and He loves you so much that He watched His ow...n Son suffer on the cross for your sins, and my sins. So please, learn of Him, and be made free from the will fo the devil and the will of our own flesh, with the affections and lusts for the things of the world, for which our flesh seeks for its own temporary gratification; for God wants us to live in peace, and joy, and love for God, and for one another.

Take the 'high road', because the 'low road is on fire'.

God loves you. Love Him back, and He will flood your life with good things.

'Have You Heard' (July 8, 2012)
By Allan Thomasson

Have you heard what Jesus did?
Went to the cross and died.
Was it for sin which He had done,
That He was crucified?

No. 'Twas for us, who are lost in sin,
And could not find our way.
He died to save the lot of us,
Before that judgment day,

For earth and heaven, as we know,
Will soon be swept away,
And there'll be found no place for them
Upon that judgment day,

When all the wicked shall be judged
For deeds which they have done.
With the devil, then, all sinful men
Will be punished, every one.

But Have You Heard, that Christ, the Word,
Creator of all things,
He will return for all believers;
Make us lords and kings.

For we believed in Him on earth,
Received eternal grace:
And in new heaven and new earth,
We'll look upon His face.

And with Him then, all faithful men
Forevermore shall be.
For on the cross, He paid great cost,
And we have been set free.

'God Has Told Me' (July 5, 2012)
By Allan Thomasson

God has told me what to do;
He told me to speak with you
About your soul, and eternity,
By the love of God, through Christ, you see.

I know where you are; I've been there,
Until I went to God in prayer:
I believed in Jesus Christ one day,
And Jesus took my sins away.

So He sent me, with God's own love,
Which He has sent from up above,
That He might give you righteousness,
By Christ's own blood, our God will bless.

Our flesh became that sinful part
By which from God we did depart.
But Jesus is the Sacrifice
And now I give you this advice:

Believe in Jesus and receive
Forgiveness, when you shall believe
In Him, Christ, Who was crucified;
With Him for ever then abide.

He'll make for us a home on high,
Where we shall never say 'goodbye',
But live together with our Lord,
For we, in faith, believed His word.

Will you go with me? Search your mind,
So you will not be left behind;
For God loves you. Now take His hand,
And go with me to the promised land.
