'Stupid Little Poem' (May 28, 2012)
By Allan Thomasson

I wrote a Stupid Little Poem',
My friends thought it was silly.
It was a little 'off the wall'.
A little 'willy-nilly'!

I put it on the internet,
In one of those 'poem' sites.
... Forgot about it, went to work.
But later on, one night,

I got a letter in the mail;
My poem went in a book.
I read my poem that they sent,
For me to have a look.

The letter said, 'The poem we read
Is in a book for you.
For thirty-five we'll send you one,
And you can see it, too.

I didn't buy the book. I knew
That some would buy the 'prize.
It was their piece of published work,
Before their very eyes.

I kept on writing then, and soon,
I wrote some other things.
I couldn't stop. I just kept on!
And soon my phone would ring.

'We want to publish you', they said,
'And it won't cost that much.'
Then they sent me a book, or three,
And then I saw their 'touch':

They're wanting me to pay, you see,
But I just told them, 'No.'
Then I set up a Facebook page,
And a 'blogspot', too, you know.

I wanted folks to read my work,
And without cost, you see.
So if you go to my 'blogspog',
Then you can read it free!

You may have interest in some things,
And some, you may ignore;
But they're for you, and 'whosoever',
I do know the score

Of Bible, Science, and other things,
Which, to some, may appeal.
Between us two, I tell you true,
That what I write is real.

I write in such concise detail
On controversial things.
For I've so thoroughly researched
Those things my writing brings.

So if you're questions are unanswered,
Go to my 'blogspot',
And you may find your answer there.
I gave it all I've got

To answer much that people ask,
And tell you what is right.
I'm glad I wrote that 'StupidLittlePoem',
And published it that night.

Some of you may even be amazed at the blanks I fill in where much of the Church leaves off, because it isn't up to the Church to give you all the truth you need to know; it's entirely up to you.

The Church is just the springboard, to get you started, and the Bible holds the final answere. I've just gone through and put most of it in a single writing, so you don't have to 'pick and choose' throughout the whole Old and New Testament.

I am the humble writer of truth for the Lord, attempting to bring the family of God back together of all denominations.

'Noah's' Flood'
by Allan Thomasson

Preface:

The flood waters in Noah's six hundredth year (about BC2319) were those excess waters which originally covered the whole earth, so that no dry land appeared above the waters (about BC3975).

There was no ice, no heat, no cold, no steam, no clouds, no vapor, therefore no wind, for the earth and the heavens were in the 'creation' stages. Ice would not form on the earth until after the flood came, and then orbit of the 'shroud' of ice (the waters which had been placed in orbit, which was now ice, being exposed to the cold of space, which is detailed below, scientifically) would decay (fifteen hundred years after the garden of Eden was closed to man), and the 'waters' (which the Holy Ghost had first separated from the waters on the earth, which had been in orbit as a sphere above the earth, making the earth a 'terrarium', filtering out the harmful and deteriorating rays from the sun so that man's years would be in the mid- to high-900's until the flood) became the first rain to fall upon the earth. Then, there could be a rainbow, the symbol of God's promise that a flood would never again flood the whole earth. And since man had never seen rain, nor could they detect anything that would cause a rain, they did not believe it could rain, let alone rise to the height of 15 cubits above the highest hills, until the waters covered the highest mountain, so they kept up their 'merrymaking' without fear of the things which Noah preached, as God directed him, and they knew not, until the flood came and swept them all away.

      _______________________________________________________________________

The Flood:

Genesis 1:2,6, 7: The separating of the waters, of which God, the Holy Ghost, placed in orbit above earth's 'air', and the waters which remained on earth, as God caused dry land to appear above it:
2) "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters (not 'the face of the ice': See my writing on 'Ice Age')."
6) "And God said, 'Let there be a firmament (space) in the midst of (between) the waters, and let it (the firmament) divide (separate) the waters from the waters."
7) "And God made the firmament (atmosphere), and divided (separated) the waters which were under the firmament (upon the earth), from the waters which were above the firmament ( located above the space between the two divisions of the separated waters, in orbit around the earth): and it was so."

Genesis 1:9-10: God commands the waters, and made dry land appear:

9) "And God said, 'Let the waters under the heaven (firmament, atmosphere of the earth) be gathered together unto one place, and let dry land appear (the earth now taking 'form'): and it was so.

10) "And God called the dry land 'Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called He 'Seas': and God saw that it was good."

The Spirit of God (God, the Holy Ghost) had now moved the excess waters from the earth, and put them into orbit around the earth's atmosphere, making the earth a 'terrarium', and the water above the firmament, in orbit, filtered out the harmful rays (x-rays, ultraviolet, infrared, etc., which would later be the colors of the rainbow (which could not occur until after the 'flood') from the sun, when the orbit of the water which was above the 'firmament' would decay, thus causing the 'great flood of Noah') and the daily bombardment of protons from the sun, which 'rays' and 'protons' were deterioration factors on the earth.

Also, there was as yet no ice on the earth, for there was neither heat nor cold when the universe was in progressive formation. Heat and cold would be implemented after the earth was prepared for planting the food which Adam and Eve would be supplied by God Himself, beginning in verse 11 of Genesis chapter 1.
Becausing of that 'filtration' effect of the water (now 'ice') in orbit between the sun and the earth, men lived much longer lives.

After the waters were placed in orbit, God made the first man. And out of the flesh and bone of man, God formed the first woman, whom Adam called Eve, for she is the mother of all living generations of mankind. And, of course, being exposed to the cold of space, the waters in orbit became ice.

During the flood in the days of Noah/Noe, the Bible states: 'In the six hundredth year of Noah''s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.' (Genesis 7:11)

That was no doubt when the continents were separated by the shifting of the tektonic plates, and great mountain ranges were formed. (Mount Everest is 29,035 feet to the summit.)

Genesis 7:19-20: The description of the waters upon the earth during the flood in about BC2319:
19) “And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven were covered.

          20) “Fifteen cubits (more) upwards (above the high hills) did the waters prevail; and (all of) the           mountains were covered.”   

Does that seem like a 'local' or 'Gulf ' flood? I think not!

If that water that came down once covered the whole earth, behold! here it is again! Above the highest mountain, so that the ark would be clear of any mountaintop at the lowest point on the hull of the ark.

Now then, since the water which came down (which was ice while it was in orbit, from exposure to the cold of space) was no longer in orbit, why did it not again stay at its peak when the flood was complete, and why did dry land again appear?

At the North and South poles of the earth, when the highest of the water was exposed to space, with its freezing temperatures, there was a 'freezing' that took place, forming glaciers and ice shelves, which took up all the water necessary to leave oceans and rivers and lakes, and basically the dry land on which we now have our nations, and fields, and other facilities to accommodate the population of the world.

Also the billions of barrels of water which make up the clouds we now had after the flood, took a lot of water from the face of the earth, along with the additional humidity in the atmosphere of the earth.

Still, however, since there was a civilization of evil and wicked mankind upon the earth before the flood, there had been cities, and villages, and settlements, and seaports, and other construction upon the earth when the flood came. And many of those 'colonies' and structures, of stone, and mortar, and wood, have been discovered well below the current sea level.

Archaeological explorations and the historical societies have discovered partial dwellings and cities and other man-made walls and items made by the hand of man well below the current sea level in various places in the world.

And the flood occurred at the hand of God to purge the whole earth of evil, for man, in the fifty-fourth generation of man, had corrupted and defiled the earth with every kind of evil imaginable.
Sin and evil have devastating effects upon the earth, spiritually, and the land must be purged, as we write in several 'blogs' which we have written, and shall write, to warn ( in the love of God) all people of the ultimate necessity of purging by a holy and righteous God Who, consequently, owns all things in the universe, for He made it for a specific purpose, to acquire an eternal family from among men.

And if we, as individual 'tenants' in God's earth, turn down that open invitation to live for ever in a new Infinite and spiritual 'creation' (Revelation 21:1-7), and fall into degradation and sin, the we must also be 'purged' from the earth, either nation by nation (as we see that happening in the news every day.

Therefore, according to the righteous principles and stated purpose of God, and His warnings of the events which are to come, and have been prophesied, which is in the Christian Bible, eventually the whole creation, earth and space ('the heavens') which man has corrupted and defiled with all manner of sinful imaginations and unrighteousness will be disposed of; the universe, in its entirety.

(Revelation 20:11)

The flood which covered the whole earth, and purged the earth of evil and corruption, should make us to realize that God is serious about sin and righteousness. And the fact that God sent His Son to die for sinners, that they might individually be purged, saved, born again, a new man with a fresh start, when we believe in Jesus Christ as the only Savior of lost souls of men, is the greatest expression of God's love which could have ever been acknowledged. But that was the purpose of creation, that God might have an eternal family of believers in His Son, Jesus Christ, for whom God will build a new heaven and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness, and peace, and love, and joy everlasting, and be with Him for evermore.

Therefore, as in several situations of which I shall write in regard to God purging His earth of the corruption by which unbelieving and evil persons defiled the land, it had reached a point to which God responded righteously and justly:

Genesis 6:11-13:

   11) "The earth also was corrupt (defiled) before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

   12) "And God looked upon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt (defiled by man's evil); for all          flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.

   13)  "And God said unto Noah, 'The end of all flesh is come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.'."
So God purged the earth of the total depravity of men with only their fully-developed evil hearts, that mankind might begin again in righteousness, in which righteousness man was created to live before God.

This writing is still under research for more specificity and finer detail. It is scientifically correct, and cannot logically be disputed. Also, it proves that God had a purpose in creating the universe within Infinity, which saturates our 'space', the heaven and the earth, the universe.

Even scientists acknowledge that there 'might be' an 'intersecting universe'; and I fully describe and explain it, and its purpose, and its reality.

And keep in mind that this universe (heaven and earth), and all things natural, including 'natural science, will 'pass away' (return to its original 'substance', which was taken out of Infinity, and converted (transformed) into natural things, both tangible things (scientifically detectable), and intangible things (life, intelligence, natural science, mathematics, emotions, and all like things):

II Peter 3:10-13; Revelation 20:11; Matthew 23:35).

Then all that is left will be eternal through transformation of the 'natural' to the 'spiritual'.

God loves you. Love Him back, and escape the purging of all nations, which is coming upon the earth.

On this blogspot, you will find more scriptural truths, both Infinite and natural scientific writings which will inform every believer and non-believer (even the 'scorner') that it was scientifically impossible that any natural thing, including natural science itself, could exist, except that God made it. And we discuss God's reason for making this vast and wonderful universe, and then mankindl These writings will enlighten you on a huge variety of truths, both spiritual and scientific. Read them all. You will be glad you did, if you take heed to the things which are written therein.

God loves you: love Him back, believe in His Son, and be saved.

'The Dead Shall Walk And Talk' (May 24, 2012)

By Allan Thomasson

I write for God of the things He's said

Within His holy word.                                       II Timothy 3:16-17
And I mean well, to write to all
Who've trusted in the Lord,

And those who haven't trusted yet,

In Christ, the Mighty God,
So they will know God loves them all,
As they walk upon His sod,                               Romans 5:8

Which God created just for man,

God's family to be.
And I do know that all of us
May not His children be.

Defensive, we, when we hear that He

Will save us from our sin.
For we are well accustomed to
The way we've always been,                              

We made our choices in our lives,

For pleasure, and for fun.
We all have claimed that the way we live
Is not hurting anyone.

But sin, it is a spiritual thing,

And righteousness also.
And sin is simply not a part
Of God's plan, for we know

That sin will take a man to hell.
It crucified our Lord,                                         Isaiah 53:5-6
Who, in God's name, from heaven came,
And gave us God's own word.

There's no debate. God's word is straight.

Hard for man to receive.
But in God's loving words He says,
We must, the Lord, believe.                               John 3:16

For in God's view, He'll build for you

New heaven, and new earth,                              Revelation 21:1-7
With no more crying, no more shame.
To give this life, 'tis worth,

To live as God has made us to,

And not just 'talk the talk'!
When we believe in Christ, our Lord,
'The 'Dead' Shall Walk AND Talk'.                   Ephesians 2:1, 8-10

And once, I 'talked the talk' also,

Until I met the Man,
The Son of God Who walked the earth,
To save all those He can.

His 'walk' took Him to Calvary,

And there, He gave His life,
To save us from an eternal 'fate',
Eternity of strife,

For all the wicked there shall go,

For they did not believe,
And He sent us to tell the truth,
So Him you might receive.

He gave His life, that you might live

In eternal destiny,
Where only righteousness prevails
In that eternity.

So tell your flesh you'll start afresh,

And you're now in control,
Because you do believe in Christ,
And He has saved your soul.

'Science and Creation'

To all scientists everywhere, in every phase of science, on planet Earth:

I have grown up appreciating all of the advances which science has made in exploring everything, from the core of the earth, to as far as the 'eye' of, from 'Explorer 1', to the Hubbel telescope can 'see', or as far as science, by any of its newer developments of greater technology can reach throughout the universe. (My interest in science began at the age of six years.)

However, I can save science and technology a lot of manhours, and money, and wasted efforts, and Infinite embarassment, when it comes to the subject of 'searching for ET' ('extraterrestrial aliens').

I will tell you, for instance, that there are no 'ET's' as such, for that is not the purpose of the universe. God only placed physical life forms on the planet Earth, for the specific and only purpose He proposed.

First, the universe did not just 'come into being'. Scientifically, everything must have a science-based origin; therefore nothing could just 'begin' to exist: not even a 'point', or a 'node', or a 'something', which, by 'scientific theory' has been attributed to the 'big bang'; and 'shazam!' a massive universe appears, and, over a period of time, everything came to be in its proper place, with all of the laws of natural science, with its motions, powers, pressures, and all physical elements of matter, with the proper 'intangibles' (life, thought, emotions, affections, the senses, love, fear, all the perfect mathematical and scientific formulations, etc., etc.), and so many things that it took to make a working universe.

Not to insult anyone, or to 'downspeak' anyone, but that is not scientific. That's only equivalent to a 'fairy tale'. And it is indeed not possible that any of that could happen, in all reality and logic.

I proceed to lay it out just as it all happened in my blogs, which fully, and in great detail, reveal just how all of that happened, and it is all based fully on science and true rationale, for I am a realist, and that is why I believe in God, and Infinite Science.

More specifically, the origin of the universe was not of a 'natural science' beginning, seeing that all matter is governed by the physical law of science, which declares that matter cannot be created or destroyed, but that it can only be converted (transformed) into another form of matter, which (four) forms are: solids, liquids, gasses, and (later in my life was added:) energy.

That physical and scientific law absolutely rules out the current 'theory' regarding the origin of the universe by a 'something' which could not, by any scientific law, exist.

So where do we go from there?

We must go to the real answer to that often-asked question, 'Where did all of this come from?'

And there is only one plausible answer that is provable (by the laws of natural science itself):

'In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.' (Genesis 1:1, the history of the true origin of the universe)

There is no other purpose for the universe, except that God had a particular and specific reason to create it, and that was to build an environment for the man whom God would make, that man might become the eternal family of God, He, being of such great love, that He would build His family, upon whom He would bestow that great and eternal love.

This universe, therefore, is but temporary, until God has completed His purpose, and His eternal family is complete. Then all of this natural universe will no longer be, as it will cease to exist

(Matthew 23:35; II Peter 3:10-12; Revelation 20:11), after which dissolution of all things natural, everything which was made will then be converted back into its original 'substance' (which was taken from Infinity during the creation of the universe: Hebrews 11:3), and all flesh of each man will then have been translated into a spiritual body, and shall remain conscious, aware, and totally sober to the torment of the lake of fire, into which all 'wicked' shall be cast, after having been judged by a just and righteous God, Whose universe they selfishly misused for their own agenda, while they lived on the earth which God had made, thereby being sole Owner of all creation, and the God of all flesh which He had made, that flesh, with the affections and lusts to its own gratification, rejecting the Almighty, and being found guilty of the unforgiven sins which they had committed while the invitation to come to God was still available to them until their demise.

Infinity, and Infinite Science, is the source, for the making of the universe.

If I could relate Infinity to a 'theory', to which natural science has referred as an 'intersecting universe', we would then be on the same page, basically.

Infinity is God's domain, His habitat. Infinity is for ever, for it is eternal, having no beginning, and no ending, but it is everlasting. God ;is', for He is eternal; and in Infinity, there is no passage of time.

Time is a factor which is resident only in the sphere of natural science, and which is only relevant to the universe.

And Infinity intersects (saturates) the universe.

The universe was created in Infinity. But to all natural means of natural man, it is invisible, and cannot be acknowledged by any sense or notion of the finite mind of any natural man, or by any scientific device, which ever was, or ever shall be, invented by man.

There is only one way that Infinity can be known to exist:

Hebrews 11:3: Through this 'window', the immortal soul within man, may perceive it:

3) "Through faith we understand that the worlds (universe) were formed by the Word of God, so that the things which are seen (detectable by man in any way) were not made of things which do appear.”

You see, the things which are seen are things within the realm of natural science. And the things which do not appear are those things which came from Infinity, which were originally scientifically invisible, and are not detectable by any means known to science, or to the senses of man: (Job 9:11).

Even God Himself did not defy the law of 'matter', for He took something from one place, and then He converted it into something else (the universe) by Infinite Science, according to its laws.

And when the purpose of the universe has been served, and God's eternal family is completed, it will then be converted back into those things in Infinity from which the things of natural science were created.

And at that time, everything, everyone, will only be spiritual, Infinite, 'for the former things are passed away. (Revelation 21:4)'

Therefore then, knowing the true purpose for which the universe was created, that purpose eliminates any reason for any other 'beings' to be any place but on the earth which God created for His eternal family of man to develop. And man was created in the image of God, remaining as such throughout all of the history of man.

Read my blogs, and you will know then the whole truth of all things, both of science, and of spiritual journey of man, as directed by God, the Father, His more familiar name being 'Jehovah' or 'Yahweh'.

We must know these things which I have written. Our eternal destiny depends upon it.

God loves you, and He wants you to also become a 'son' in His eternal family. (John 3:16-18a)

dunomos@aol.com

http:/www.foreversettledintheheavens.blogspot.com

Note: I am not in contention with true science, but in total agreement, as I have stated in this discourse on the only two sciences that exist: 'Infinite Science', the eternal science, and 'natural science', which was created by the God of Infinite Science.
(Matthew 23:35; Revelation 20:11; II Peter 3:10-13)

And this is not a 'religious' writing, but a writing of true fact, and realism, in truth.

There are numerous religions: but in reality and in truth, we who believe in God, and in Jesus Christ, the only Savior of the lost souls of men, are God's eternal family.

God loves you, whosoever, and so do I.

I tell people what God says. And only His business is my business. What people do behind doors will still affect the land in which all other citizens are living. (Read Leviticus chapters 18 and 20, and Psalm 9:16).

I am an ambassador from the kingdom of heaven to the world of the lost souls of men. I write and speak of the love of God as the end of all things is nearing.
(II Corinthians 5:19-21)

Now the end will be for many 'doom and gloom'; and for others it will be life everlasting in a new and eternal 'heaven and earth', entirely dependent upon the choice they made while they were living on earth. God has left that choice up to every man/woman. (Daniel 12;2; Revelation 20:10-20; Revelation 21:1-7)

God loves you, and I love you. Therefore, I don't want you to have to face eternity in rebellion against God for petty pleasures of the flesh, which seems to be in control of most of the population of the earth by their choices not to believe in Christ and be saved from their sins, and the eternal penalty for rejecting the God that made them and loves them to their mortal death. (John 3:16-18)

According to the 'Menninger Foundation' (Topeka Kansas), many people's 'hidden reason' for not always responding properly or in a kindly manner is spawned by some kind of mistreatment, or misjudgment of themselves at a younger age, or an early loss of a parent or grandparent, either by death or disappearance from their life.

And that 'hidden reason' primarily is also generally hidden to those affected by it.

It could be that they were 'bullied', or their bike was stolen, or some either smaller or greater concern which they experienced in life; and they are in dire need of some sort of comfort from others, either psycologically, or spiritual, or both, in some cases, that thier 'shell' of protection against other 'mishaps' which they feel may be perpetrated against them might be cracked, and eventually disappear.

We do need to show a person like that (and in fact, all persons) love and assistance in those areas, so that their confidence, not only in themselves, but in friends, and neighbors, and loved ones may be somewhat if not altogether restored.

And since we do not always know who has been affected by some past event, or situation, or self-made destructive scenario in their own mind, either warily, or unwarily, we must be the same with one as we would with any other in our love, compassion, charity, comfort and conversation..

Jesus is the answer to all of those things, but we must allow the Spirit to prompt us on making a door to enter into how we may express Christ as their answer. Because if one has reason to be confident in someone much greater and higher then themselves, they then feel that they have a 'Confidant' to Whom they can turn for absolutes, and the other past happening(s) will possibly eventually fade in the shadow of Christ in their lives.

Yes, I did study psychology in college, and have been a minister for decades, in various cities, and in othehr States, as well as at a local prison of 1040 bunks. I've met all walks of man, and beneath their outer shell, they are quite responsive to love and to being noticed as a real person, even though their situation is beyond belief in their own hearts and minds.

I worked at a prison for nearly eight years, as well as personally ministering on the street, to other 'down-and-outers', and in Texas and Kansas missions, and on the radio, while also ministering in other denomination than my own affiliation. And in my direct experience, I realize that many may not immediately, or visibly, respond to what we as loving human beings have to offer them: but 'so many' will. And that 'so many' is what I always hopefully and trustingly attempt to recover from that 'snare' in which they are trapped.

'Look at all the lonely people' touches my heart as with a branding iron.

I think, 'If I could just get them all assembled in one place, I could tell them how much God loves them, and how much He has given me the gift of love for all of them, none excluded.

But I can't show it like God did: While we were living in sinful pleasures, and denying the Son of God, God had already, as it were, slain the Lamb of God, the Lord, Jesus Christ, for our sins.

Then He built a universe so awesome for us to live in.

Why did He do all that?

Because He wanted us, me and you, Adam and Eve and all their descendants, to become His precious family, so that He could bestow upon us the perfect love which He has for everyone who believes in Jesus, for ever.

And for so long, I was one of those who rejected God's way, and His purpose and plan for the mankind which He made so lovingly and caringly.

I sought my own way; my own C-H-O-I-C-E, of what I wanted to do, and how I wanted to live my own life.

But I didn't realize that wasn't me at all: it was my sinful flesh that was holding me back, keeping me busy with all that 'fun stuff’, that my flesh so enjoyed, taking my time, my mind, my energies, my everything, and putting me on the broad road with the rest of the wicked, who also were making their own choice, and ignoring the call of God to their minds, hearts and souls.

And all we who chose to walk that road would wind up in hell, until the great 'white throne judgment’ seat of God our Maker, where we would all be judged by Him that sits on that throne, Who had shown such love to us, not slaying us where we stood, as we withstood Him in so many different ways (from a slight ‘no sir’, to a flailing rage of hatred toward the One Who had such love for every person that ever lived).

Then, because God must judge a righteous judgment, and a just judgment, with regard to the works which each person did while they were on the earth, and the invitation of God, so loving, was still in force, which was not accepted, He must send all who did not believe, and had sins which were never forgiven (John 3:16-18) to the eternal lake of fire, where all the wicked must go, which doesn't annihilate anyone, for that is eternal, where there is no passing of time.

And since it takes some measure of time for fire to consume flesh, the eternal soul of man cannot be destroyed by anything, either natural or spiritual; therefore its torment is everlasting, for eternity never ends.

I John 1:9: God is a loving God. And He is also a just God: and all His judgments are in truth:
9) "If we confess our sins (which pop up from time to time), He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

My life now changed, for I now knew my Savior more than I knew He could be:

One day, I felt my Savior calling my heart to Himself, so I gave my heart to Him. And now I'm on this side of the fence, where I can see everything so clearly.

(Read my blogs, and see my loving invitation to all sinners, as I was, and all believers have been.

I still remember that life. And I also issue warnings as to what's on down the road for any who don't know Jesus. Sometimes I seem desperate in my appeals, because I know the blessed life, and I know the life of the condemned.

I've been on both paths, and I choose this one, hands down! I feel like Paul, the apostle must have felt when Jesus called to Him from heaven, like I was wicked, and I knew it, and now I am free from my past sins, and the attached eternal penalty of them, because when I believed in Jesus Christ, I received salvation from them, and also everlasting life, becoming a son of the Almighty.

Now I'm more thrilled writing the truth in Christ to all who believe, and to all who want to know. I know where I will be in eternity. Do you? Here are the choices:

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved. You will then learn how to love God with all your heart, and all your soul, and with all your mind, even though your flesh with the affections and lusts for the sinful pleasures of the world tugs and pulls you as hard as it can back to the other side. But God is now the strenfth of the believers, and He is greater than the pull of the flesh, even when the devil is adding his strength to pull you back also. And sometimes it may over power us at a weak time in our lives. But God is always, in His great love for both the believer and the sinner, to pull on you, too, so that you may become the greater power in the seemingly losing struggle, and you can come out the victor in Him.

I see very clearly all things that pertain to life and godliness, and that is why I am desperately making every attempt to show you the better way, which leads to life, and not the experience of death in that boiling lake of fire, which was made for the devil and his fallen angels, and not for man. But upon our death, our eternal soul must go somewhere.

And unrighteousness cannot enter into heaven with the righteous, the saved. So then, there is no other place for your eternal soul but in the place of the wicked, if you have not believed in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, honoring both the Father, and the Son, in believing..

Revelation 20;10-15 speaks of the final judgment of all wicked, and their eternal fate for refusing or failing to believe on (and honor) God's only earth-born (begotten) Son, Who died on that cruel cross for you, that you might be redeemed from the penalty of eternal torment that awaits the wicked.

On the other hand, God will prepare a plese, which is specifically described in Revelation 21:1-7, and is prepared for us, who did believe in Jesus, to be our Savior; and we became the sons of God.

I John 3:1-2: After we believe in Jesus, the only Savior, this is our outlook on life:
 1) "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the 'sons of God': therefore the world (those who have not believed in Jesus) knoweth us not, because they knew Him not.
 2) "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear (to us) what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear (to us, the sons of God), we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is (now)."

God really, really loves you, and He has prepared a way through Christ that you can receive that love for ever. God has already made His move: John 3:16. Now it's time for you to come to Him.

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

'Accepting God’s Love;
By Allan Thomasson

It’s far beyond my reason that
One could refuse God’s love.
But I, when lost, have done the same,
I did not think above

The cares of life, the times, the strife,
The pleasures I could find,
The entertainment of this life
I’d some day leave behind.

I scarcely thought of Jesus Chirst,
Of God, His plan for man,
That all who would believe in Jesus
Would be in God’s plan;

For God made man upon the earth,
His family to be.
He had no other purpose for
The universe, you see.

So God made Adam, then made Eve
From Adam’s flesh and bone,
And visited them in the garden.
They were not alone.

But Adam sinned, His innocence
From sin he then had lost.
But in Got’s plan for every man,
God had, at such great cost,

Provided man a remedy
For sin, which, on man came.
That plan of God’s redemption?
Just believe in Jesus’ name.

For Jesus died upon that cross.
He died for you and me.
To set us free from sin and shame,
He died upon that tree.

The crown of thorns was pushed so deep
Into His head. Also
Beat his bare back with lashes.
Then to the cruel cross He’d go.

And then they drove those five-inch nails
Into His hands and feet.
They mocked him, cursed him for OUR shame.
Salvation was complete.

Christ said ‘Tetelestoi’ (‘It’s finished’)
Christ completed all the work
Which God sent Jesus here to do,
For death and hell did lurk

To take our souls in eternity;
Forever there to be,
Until the judgment seat of God.
And in eternity

Would then declare last judgment:
That eternal lake of fire,
Where all the wicked then must be.
Is that your firm desire?

For Jesus came in the Father’s name,
To save our sinful souls
From sinners’ fearsome penalty,
As eternal ages roll.

It wasn’t meant for man, you know,
But for Satan and his clan.
If one does not believe in Christ,
It’s the ‘other place’ for man.

For every soul, which made man whole,
Is eternal, and we know,
That when the body is deceased,
The soul must somewhere go;

To God, or to the ‘pit’ called ‘hell’,
There is no other way.
The body then goes in the grave,
Till resurrection day.

The dead in Christ, the first to rise,
And be with Him fore’er.
And after Jesus’ rule on earth,
The rest shall rise: beware

That you are in the first-raised dead,
Who will meet Christ in the sky,
The second-risen from the grave
To Christ must say ‘goodbye’.

For to that great white throne of judgment
They must surely go,
To meet the deeds which they have done,
Then to the fire below.

I plead with you, for your own sake,
That judgment not to find.
Believe in Jesus now, my friend,
This world please leave behind.

Christ died for you, and for me, too,
That we might then be saved.
He left the throne of God, and came,
And died for us, depraved,

Who, in our sinful body would
Live life as we did choose.
And in the end of life, my friend,
Our sinful soul would lose.

God’s love is why He left the sky,
And suffered pain and grief.
Upon that cross we should have been,
But He brought our souls relief,

That we may forever be with Him
In that eternity;
For we were lost. And at such cost,
He died for you and me.

How could we not be grateful then,
And live just as we ought,
Since God, and Jesus, paid such price,
And our salvation brought?

To shun that love from God above,
And Jesus Christ, Who paid
The fearful cost, for we were lost;
Such sacrifice He made.

If you do not receive that gift,
Your flesh, controlling you,
With its affections and its lust,
Does just what it wants to.

And you are weak and powerless
To, of flesh, take control.
But in the Lord (and I have His word)
He’ll strengthen your own soul.

In this life we must turn to God,
And life is short, we know.
Or otherwise the devil’s won,
Your soul to hell will go.

If just one person could come back
From heaven or from hell,
They then would tell the same as me,
Which I do know so well.

‘Through faith we understand’, it says
In God’s word; and it’s true.
God opened up my mind to truth.
He’ll do the same for you.

Truth is, if you believe in Jesus,
Your soul will be saved.
When Jesus calls then for His bride,
You’ll rise up from the grave.

For ever then, you’ll be with Him,
As all who Him believe.
For us He came in the Father’s name,
God’s fam’ly to receive.

Addictions, drawn by the flesh.

There are different addictions which befall different individuals.

I never could acquire the taste for beer, or any other alconolic beverage.

I am not addicted to cigarettes, or drinking coffee. And I never desired dope of any kind. God miraculously spared me from those things, though coffee may be alright, and I will not refuse a cup now and then, black, and with no sugar.

Some are addicted to gambling, and some to sexual pleasures of any and all descriptions.

Many to stealing; others to covetousness, which is also lust.

There are 'chronic' liars, and one cannot believe any thing they say, because they will lie, when the truth would do better.

So very many must be first, or best, in everything brought up in a conversation. And some are a legend in their own mind. Also, there are some who are their own 'super ego'!

But pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty (high-minded) spirit before a fall.' (Proverbs 16:18)

There are so many things that our flesh ('with its affections and lusts') are drawn to, and become an addiction, and though noone, I believe, is addicted to them all; but they are all out there, and our sinful flesh will pull us to them, one here, and one there.

That's why we need to accept Jesus into our hearts and into our lives, so we can 'keep under my body, and bring it into subjection' (to the will of our mind, with which we desire to serve the Father, if we are His child. And I invite everyone, no matter what you ahve already done, to come to the Father by Jesus Christ, the only Savior of the lost souls of men. Acts 4:12.

Philippians 2:3:
 3) "Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind (humility) let each esteem other better than themselves."

"Humble yourselves therefore under tha mighty hand of God, that He might exalt you (lift you up) in due time:" (I Peter 5:6)

"God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble." (James 4:6, I Peter 5:5)

MORE STRANGE ADVENTURES OF JONES THE CAT:

‘THE MEN OF STONE’

JONES CAME UPON A BEACH OF DREAD!
THE TREES WERE GNARLY; SHRUBS WERE DEAD.
AS HE SET FOOT ON DREARY SAND,
AND WANDERED THROUGH THIS DREARY LAND,

HE PONDERED, “WHAT A HORRID PLACE!”
AND IN A CAVE, HE SAW A FACE.
THE SAD AND STONY FACE WAS GRAY,
NOT MOVING, ANY, EITHER WAY.

AND JONES WENT TO THIS FACE OF STONE,
BUT THEN HE SENSED, “I’M NOT ALONE!”
JUST THEN, THE CAVE BEHIND HIM CLOSED,
AND STONES AROUND HIM QUICKLY ROSE,

BECAME STONE CREATURES FROM THE GROUND,
AND JONES WAS CIRCLED ALL AROUND.
“WHAT WILL THEY DO TO ME?”, HE PINED.
THOSE CREATURES THEN BEGAN TO WHINE,

“WE THINK WE’VE BEEN HERE MANY SUNS.
IN DARKNESS, WE’RE IMPRISONED SONS
OF KINGS AND QUEENS, THOUGH CONQUERED NOW.
IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE, ANYHOW.

STONE CREATURES WE WILL ALWAYS BE.
THE NORTHERN SORCERER, YOU SEE,
HAS SPOKEN CURSES ON US ALL.
AND WE HAVE NONE ON WHOM TO CALL,

TO BREAK THIS SPELL THE WICKED CAST
UPON US ALL, TO FREE AT LAST
THE LOT OF US, WHO DID NO HURT.
AND NOW, OH, CAT, WE ARE ALERT

BECAUSE OF YOUR LIVE PRESENCE HERE.
BUT NOW WE KNOW ONE THING QUITE CLEAR.
YOU’RE NOT THE ONE TO BREAK THE SPELL.
THE ONE WHO COMES, WE KNOW QUITE WELL,

WILL HAVE A DIAMOND AS A PLUM.
WE KNOW NOT WHEN THIS ONE WILL COME,
BUT BY THIS MAGIC DIAMOND WHITE,
WE WILL BE FREED FROM OUR SAD PLIGHT

THEN JONES REMEMBERED WHAT HE HAD
IN HIS POSSESSION, AND WAS GLAD.
HE PULLED THE DIAMOND FROM HIS SACK
HE’D CARRIED LONG UPON HIS BACK.

AND, AS HE HELD THE DIAMOND HIGH,
THEY HEARD THE THUNDER FROM THE SKY.
THE CAVE THEN LIT UP LIKE THE MOON.
JONES LOOKED AROUND, AND VERY SOON,

THE STONY CREATURES TURNED TO MEN.
THEY WERE ALL PRINCES; BACK AGAIN!
AND IN FINE ARMOR THEY WERE CLAD,
WITH POWER LIKE THEY'D NEVER HAD!

NEW SWORDS THAT GLISTENED IN THE CAVE.
A MIGHTY THRUST WITH SHOUTS THEY GAVE.
THEN WENT THEY WHERE THEY LIVED BEFORE,
AND THEN THE SORCERER WAS NO MORE,

FOR HE WAS BANISHED EVER MORE
UPON A DISTANT, WICKED SHORE.
AND WITH THEIR SWORDS, THEY SLICED THE AIR.
"THE 'WICKED' CAN’T GO ANYWHERE,

"FOR WE HAVE SLICED THE 'WICKED’S' BEACH
SO OTHER SHORES, HE CANNOT REACH."
THEN LADEN WITH MORE TREASURES GREAT,
JONES LEFT FOR LANDS AND SHORES THAT WAIT

FOR ONE TO COME AND HELP THEM SOON.
JUST THEN, JONES SAW A HUGE BALLOON
THAT CARRIED PERSONS THROUGH THE SKY.
SO JONES HOPPED IN AND SAID."GOODBYE."

FOR ALL THE PEOPLE CHEERED HIM ON,
AND WATCHED JONES TILL HE WAS QUITE GONE
TO OTHER PLACES HE MUST FREE.
(FOR THAT IS WHAT JONES DOES, YOU SEE!).

‘THE MONSTER AND THE BEACH’

AS JONES WENT UP, AND LOOKING DOWN,
FROM ONE GREAT MOUNT, HE HEARD A SOUND
OF RUMBLING, THUND’RING DOWN BELOW.
THEN THIS HOT STUFF BEGAN TO FLOW

FROM THIS GREAT MOUNTAIN THERE BELOW.
AND THEN THE TOP BEGAN TO BLOW!
THEN JONES THOUGHT, "I’M IN TROUBLE NOW!
I’M GOING UP! TO STOP IT, HOW?"

AND JONES WENT UP AND UP AND UP.
BUT THEN HE SAW THE SILVER CUP
THAT HE WAS GIVEN MONTHS BEFORE,
FOR IT HAD FALLEN ON THE FLOOR.

IT GLOWED. AND ON THE BOTTOM SIDE
WAS THIS INSCRIPTION, "FAR AND WIDE
I’LL GO WITH YOU. NOW HOLD ME UP,
FOR I’M THE MAGIC SILVER CUP."

SO JONES HELD UP THE CUP SO HIGH.
HE HELD IT UP INTO THE SKY.
THEN CAME A BREEZE SO SWIFT AND STRONG,
IT CARRIED JONES. IT WASN’T LONG

TILL JONES HAD LANDED ON THE GROUND,
AND JONES GOT UP AND LOOKED AROUND.
HE HEADED FOR THAT MOUNTAIN HIGH,
THAT SENT THE SMOKE INTO THE SKY,

TO SEE THE TOWN THAT SAT NEARBY.
AND THEN HE HEARD THE PEOPLE CRY,
"O, GOD, PLEASE SAVE US NOW TODAY
FROM THIS GREAT MOUNTAIN, LORD, WE PRAY."

THEN AS JONES ENTERED IN THIS TOWN,
THE PEOPLE GATHERED ALL AROUND.
JONES LOOKED AROUND AT EVERY PLACE.
JUST THEN, A SMILE CAME ON HIS FACE.

THE PEOPLE QUIETENED IN THE STREET.
AND THEN OUR JONES BEGAN TO SPEAK.
"FOR YOU, THIS DAY, YOU WILL BE SAVED
FROM THAT GREAT MOUNTAIN. YOU’RE AFRAID.

BUT LOOK BEYOND. UP TO THE PLAIN.
THE FLOW OF FIRE TO THOSE ROCKS CAME,
BUT NOW NO FURTHER WILL IT GO.
‘TIS AS A DAM. IT STOPPED THE FLOW.

"SO LIVE IN PEACE, AND THANK YOUR GOD
WHO ON THIS TERRA FIRMA TROD
TO FORM THIS FEATURE, SAVE YOUR TOWN.
AND NOW THE MOUNTAIN HAS CALMED DOWN.

"NOW I MUST GO. I BID YOU WELL.
WHERE I GO NOW, I CANNOT TELL.
A TREASURE, THOUGH I CANNOT TAKE.
FOR I, A SERVICE DID NOT MAKE

TO THIS PROTECTION. FARE YOU FINE,
AND I WILL KEEP YOU IN MY MIND.
SO JONES WENT ON AND ON AND ON.
THEN CAME THE NIGHT, AND THEN THE DAWN.

AND JONES HAD SLEPT; WAS FEELING GREAT.
"I MUST BE GOING. FEEL I’M LATE
FOR SOMETHING BREWING UP AHEAD."
(JONES FELT A FEAR; A SORT OF DREAD.)

THE CHILDREN TAKEN AWAY:

THE SUN CAME UP. JONES SAW A TOWN.
AND LIGHTS WERE FLASHING ALL AROUND.
WENT DOWN THE HILL, AND TO THE RIGHT,
INTO THE TOWN, TO SEE THE LIGHTS.

"WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?" AND THEN HE STALLED.
THE LIGHTS, THEY WERE NOT LIGHTS AT ALL!
BUT MIRRORS, SEEKING TO ATTRACT
SOMEONE TO GET THEIR CHILDREN BACK.

"AN EVIL GOBLIN TOOK OUR KIDS.
A FLUTE HE PLAYED, AND WHEN HE DID,
OUR CHILDREN, THEY WERE HYPNOTIZED,
AND IN HIS POWER, CLOSED THEIR EYES

"SO THEY MUST FOLLOW MUSIC PLAYED
BY THIS STRANGE DEMON, UNAFRAID,
FOR, PARALYZED, WE STOOD IN AWE,
COULD NOT DEFEND THE THING WE SAW!

"OUR CHILDREN FOLLOWED MUSIC, BLIND,
AND YONDER MOUNTAIN THEY ALL CLIMBED
INTO A HOLE. INSIDE THE HILL
THEY WENT, AND THEY ARE IN THERE STILL.

"THE CAVE CLOSED UP. WE CANNOT SEE
HOW WE MIGHT GET INSIDE. HELP, PLEASE!
SO JONES WENT UP WHERE THEY HAD SHOWN.
TAPPED ON THE ROCKS. COULD NOT HAVE KNOWN

THAT DOING WHAT HE DID WAS RIGHT!
HE TAPPED AND TAPPED. THEN CAME A LIGHT
FROM ONE SMALL HOLE IN THE MOUNTAIN’S SIDE,
AND WITH THAT LIGHT, IT COULD NOT HIDE

THE RING. HE PULLED WITH ALL HIS MIGHT.
HE PULLED TO LEFT, HE PULLED TO RIGHT.
WHEN HE LET GO, HE LOOKED INSIDE.
JUST THEN, THE MOUNTAIN OPENED WIDE.

THE SUN SHONE IN, THE GOBLIN SCREAMED.
THE SUN HAD COOKED HIM. JUST LEFT STEAM,
WHICH BLEW AWAY, NE’ER CAME AGAIN.
THE CHILDREN RAN HOME FREE. SO THEN,

JONES KEPT ON GOING. GREAT BIG SMILE!
HE THOUGHT HE’D REST FOR JUST A WHILE.
HE SAT TILL EVENING. SLEPT TILL MORN.
THANKED GOD FOR THAT DAY HE WAS BORN.

EXCITED! "WHAT MAY LIE AHEAD?"
HE ATE SOME FRUIT, AND HAD SOME BREAD.
A DRINK REFRESHED HIM FROM A STREAM.
BUT AS HE DRANK, HE HAD A DREAM!

AND IN HIS DREAM, HE SAW A MAID
WHO RAN TO JONES. SHE WAS AFRAID.
AND LOOKING BACK, SHE SAID, "HE COMES!
COME HELP MY PEOPLE! FREE THEM FROM

"THE FEARSOME CREATURE FROM THE BAY!
HE WANTS TO BLOW OUR TOWN AWAY!
HE’S HUGE! HE’S EVIL, AND HE KNOWS
THAT UPON EVERYTHING HE BLOWS,

"A FREEZING COMES, A BLAST OF COLD,
THAT HOLDS THE PEOPLE, YOUNG AND OLD.
AND AFTER JUST ONE HUNDRED YEARS,
THE TOWN WILL THAW, AND DISAPPEAR!

"WE’VE SEEN THIS MONSTER RISE AND SINK
INTO THE BAY. SO NOW, WE THINK
HE KNOWS OUR LITTLE TOWN IS HERE.
EACH TIME, HE’S CLOSER. NOW, WE FEAR

"NEXT TIME HE’LL COME OUT ON THE LAND.
AGAINST HIS POW'R, WE CANNOT STAND."
NOW, JONES WENT TO THE "BOOK OF TOWN"
FROM THEIR LIBRARY. TURNING DOWN

PAGE AFTER PAGE, BACK TO THE START
OF THIS SMALL TOWN. HE FOUND A PART
THAT SPOKE OF THIS GREAT FEARFUL THING
THAT CAME AND WENT. AND EVERY SPRING,

IT CAME TO BLOW ON THIS SMALL TOWN
UNTIL HIS POWER HE HAD FOUND,
FOR HE WAS MUCH TOO YOUNG TO DO
JUST WHAT HIS FATHER TAUGHT HIM TO;

TO FREEZE THE TOWNS ALONG THE BAY,
AND TAKE THEIR BEACHES ALL AWAY.
"BUT NOW, WE FEAR, HE IS QUITE APT.
WHEN HE WAKES FROM HIS MONTHLY NAP,

"HE’LL COME AND DO THIS DREADFUL THING.
SO JONES WENT TO A NEARBY SPRING,
AND TOOK A DRINK FROM WATERS COOL,
WHICH FED INTO A CRYSTAL POOL.

THEN JONES WENT TO THE SANDY BEACH.
IT WASN’T LONG BEFORE HE REACHED
THE BREAKING WAVES, THE ROLLING TIDE.’
HE FOUND THIS CAVE, AND WENT INSIDE.

THERE WAS A HOLE BENEATH THE GROUND.
AND THEN BELOW, JONES HEARD THIS SOUND
OF GURGLING, SNORTING. SO HE THOUGHT,
"THE CREATURE SLEEPS. I THINK I OUGHT

"TO TRY TO DRIVE HIM QUITE AWAY.
BUT IN THIS CAVE, I CANNOT STAY"
JONES FOUND A HUGE SHELL ON THE SAND,
AND, GIVING THOUGHT, JONES SAID, "I CAN

"JUST CAPTURE SOUNDS WITHIN THIS CONCH.
THEN LET HIM HEAR IT. THEN I’LL BONK
THE CREATURE WITH THAT STONE UP THERE
WHILE HE SITS DOWN AND WONDERS, "WHERE’S

"THAT OTHER CREATURE THAT I HEARD?"
AND WHILE HIS MIND REMAINS QUITE BLURRED,
I’LL TOPPLE YONDER ROCK RIGHT DOWN,
AND TAKE THE CREATURE TO THE GROUND.

"AND BIND HIM THERE LIKE LILLIPUTIANS
DID WITH GULLIVER. SOLUTION’S
GOOD!", JONES TOLD THE TOWN, QUITE LOUD.
"WE’RE GLAD YOU CAME, JONES. MAKES US PROUD

"TO HELP IN THIS GREAT PLAN YOU’VE LAID.
AND WE NO LONGER ARE AFRAID!"
JONES GOT THE SHELL, AND TO THE CAVE
HE WENT, THIS LITTLE TOWN TO SAVE,

WHILE ALL THE TOWNSFOLK DROVE THE STAKES
AND MADE THE ROPES, THIS THING TO TAKE.
JONES GOT THE SOUNDS OF THE CREATURE’S SNORES,
SET UP THE ROCK, AND MUCH, MUCH MORE

TO WORK THE PLAN TO STOP THIS FEAR.
JONES TOLD THE TOWN, "THE TIME IS HERE."
SO, FINISHED NOW, THE TRAP IS SET.
A GLORY THEY WILL NOT FORGET.

JONES SET THE SHELL WITHIN THE CAVE,
AND PULLED A STRING, THE SHELL THEN GAVE
A TURN, AND THEN THE SOUNDS CAME OUT.
AND JONES WAS SET. THERE WAS NO DOUBT.

THE BEAST WAS STIRRING. SOON THEY SAW
A SNOUT WITH SCALES, A HUGE, SQUARE JAW.
WITH SNORTING, PAWING, OUT HE CAME.
(THOUGH NOONE EVER KNEW ITS NAME!)

JONES PUSHED THE STICK. THE ROCK FELL DOWN,
AND CRUNCHED THE CREATURE TO THE GROUND.
THE TOWNSFOLK QUICKLY SPRANG TO TIE
THAT HORRID CREATURE WITH ONE EYE

SO FAST, SECURE. WHEN THEY WERE DONE,
THE BEAST WAS LYING IN THE SUN.
AND FRYING THERE, THE SUN SO HOT,
HE COOKED TILL THERE WAS JUST A BLOT.

THE TOWN THEN RAKED AND SWEPT AND SUCH,
WHEN THEY WERE DONE, THERE WASN’T MUCH
TRACE OF THAT CREATURE ANYMORE.
SO JONES SAT UP AND THOUGHT SOME MORE;

"THAT WAS NO DREAM!" HE ANALYZED.
"I WAS TRANSPORTED THROUGH THE SKIES
TO YET ANOTHER TOWN IN NEED."
THE PEOPLE ALWAYS BID, "GODSPEED!"

AND JONES WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO
THE PLACE HE WAS. "I WONDER WHO
WILL BE THE NEXT ON THIS GREAT LIST?
SO MANY SORTS OF FOLK EXIST.

"A CULTURE EDUCATING ME.
IT EVEN SOMETIMES SETS ME FREE
FROM COOKIE-CUTTER LOOK-ALIKES,
FROM SAME-O, SAME-O PROTOTYPES.

WHAT THRILLING VENTURES I HAVE SEEN.
AND WHAT A LIFE. I’VE NEVER BEEN
AS HAPPY AS I AM RIGHT NOW."
WHAT WONDERS DID GOD ME ENDOW.

'On Your Decision'    (For May 7, 2012)

By Allan Thomasson

Some, discussing this and that,

Like, 'Will we have our dog or cat?'
And some, 'What color will we be
When Christ our Saviour we shall see?'

'Or, Will our family be one?' ,

And, 'Will we have a moon and sun?'
Then, 'Who ll be saved, and who ll be lost?'
This we shall see. But what's the cost'

When we find those we hold so dear

Must still remain with lost ones here?
Important things were put aside,
Like, us preparing, as Christ's bride,

For Christ to wed when He returns,

For Whom our heart forever yearns;
Like, telling men of Christ the King,
His grace of which our warmed heart sings.

Repent, believe, Christ will receive

You, too; your soul He will retrieve.
Deny Him, and be left behind,
Rejecting Him in your own mind.

Forever, then, you will regret,

In sorrows deep, because you let
Your flesh determine your 'long home'.
Forever then, you ll be alone

Without your God assisting you.

An endless moment. Never, too,
Will you be given yet a chance;
And then you ll take another glance

At heaven's gift you did not choose;

And now you've nothing but to lose.
Turn to Christ now. He loves you so,
That to that rugged cross He'd go,

And take your blame (both yours and mine)

That He might give you joy divine:
Eternity that never ends.
('On your decision', that depends,

Whether you go or if you stay,

Forever to be cast away
From love and peace and joy extreme
(Of which lost man can only dream)

For God, all He s prepared for you,

That perfect peace you might have, too,
And all His love you can endure;
Now make your choice, and make it sure,

That you and all your family,

And friends, and strangers, too, may see
The choice that they as sinners ought
To make for Christ; our souls He bought

With His own blood, our shame, disgrace:

They plucked His beard out of His face,
Ane beat with thongs upon His back.
He lived, He died, that you, no lack

Would have when you will stand before

The God your soul is searching for
With such a longing for His love,
Which only comes from heav'n above.

Has someone talked with you of late,

And told you there s a God Who waits
'On your decision', strong and true?
Give up to God; He waits for you.

But we may not have very long

To gain this peace, to sing this song,
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound;
That saved a wretch like me. Abound

In God s great mercy and His love

From God the Father Who, above,
Will give you more than you can take!
Refusing Him; a big mistake,

Which through eternity would last

Forever: will not end. So ask
His love and mercy now, for all
He asks from you is that you call

Upon His Son, believe, receive,

And your own soul He will retrieve
From sin and sinfulness today.
You have the need. He is the Way.

This poem I write, straight from my heart,

Before from this life I depart,
So that you, too, might quickly see,
That joy is yours, and you ll be free.

'Like Me!'
dunomos@aol.com

God loves you (Romans 5:8): love Him back, for He has given us life, and breath, and all things which pertain to life and godliness, the way fo peace, and joy, and love; the good life!

‘Who Jesus Really is’

We must first realize that the man, Christ Jesus, is the only begotten Son of God Jehovah, and was born of a Jewish virgin named Mary, His mother, by miraculous overshadowing of God, the Holy Ghost, by what has been termed by the Christian Churches as ‘immaculate conception’.

Jesus healed a man who had been blind from birth, as we read in John 9:1-34.

Then Jesus heard that the Pharisees of the Jews had cast the man out of the synagogue, because the man insisted that Jesus had indeed healed him, and a very interesting happened in that account which showed that the Jews called Jesus a 'sinner', because He healed on the Sabbath day.

However, in order to get the truths which the man spoke in response of the challenge which the Pharisees raised, you must read this account. It will divide the Jewish religion at that time, from the 'kingdom of heaven', which John the Baptist, Jesus, and the apostles preached, which included, 'judgment, mercy, and faith', as Jesus said in Matthew 23:23-38, and issued a condemning decree to the nation of Israel, who had declared adamantly to the man that was healed that Jesus was a sinner; and the man still declared his miraculous healing from the man from God! (Matthew 23:24-33)
John 9:35-38:
35) "Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said unto him, ‘Dost thou believe on the Son of God?’
36) "He answered and said, ‘Who is He, Lord, that I might believe on Him?’
37) "And Jesus said unto him, ‘Thou hast both seen Him, and it is He that talketh with thee.’
38) "And he said, ‘Lord, I believe.’ And he worshipped Him.

So that it might not be confusing to many who have not understood the Godhead, and the man, Christ Jesus, let me clarify the principle of the Godhead, by the scriptural fact that there are Three Members in the Godhead, Which is referred to in the scripture as ‘God’, in the singular form, as will be made more clear in the following passages of scripture, and the analyzing comments adjacent to those true scriptural passages, which are the 'word of truth': II Timothy 2:15; II Timothy 3:15-17.

I John 5:7:
7) "For there are Three that bear witness in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and These Three are One (God)."

We know God, the Father, is greater than the man, Christ Jesus.

And God, the Word is the pre-incarnate Christ, with the Holy Ghost, being also called the Spirit of God, and the Spirit of truth, and the Holy Spirit, or the Spirit, as denoted in various places in the Bible, and specifically beginning with the first account of creation of heaven and earth: (Genesis 1)..

John 14:28(c): Jesus Christ, the Man, declares the following principle of God, the Father:
28(c): "for My Father is greater than I."

And, though the man, Christ Jesus, being the direct descendant from God (the Holy Ghost), Jesus Himself is deity, for He is the Son of the Almighty, as He was symbolized by the ark of the covenant in the tabernacle, which we shall thoroughly detail in other writings on the topic in which it shall be properly disclosed, basically being that the wood ('shittim', a soft, weak wood) used in construction of the ark represented ‘human’ (flesh), and the gold covering (within and without) if the ark of the covenant, which strengthens the weak, soft wood on all sides, represents the deity of Christ, as the ark represents both His humanity, and His deity, which was made by highly-skilled craftsmen, whom Moses was commanded by God to personally select, tthat is should conform to the exact and specific pattern which God gave Moses, during the forty days God spoke with Moses, in the top of Mount Sinai, in Horeb.

Moses himself was taught in all the skills and crafts of Egypt, from its greatest architecture, to the finest adornments of the palace, thereby becoming a ‘master craftsman’ in charge of the creation of all things in the kingdom, having been the ‘son’ of Pharaoh’s daughter, for the sole purpose that Moses (who was named by the daughter of Pharaoh, which name, Moses’, means essentially, ‘drawn from the water’) would, at God’s appointed time, be who God made him to be, the prophet and lawgiver to the Israel, as well as ‘commander-in-chief’ of the Israeli army, ‘meekest man in all the earth’:

Exodus 25:40: God speaks specifically to Moses of all things made for the tabernacle:
40) "And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was showed thee in the mount."

God is precisely specific and concise in all things which are to be implemented in our service as a son, to our Father, Jehovah God, and all of God’s precepts, principles, and purposes are verily given to us in the truth in the word of truth, the scriptures, without question.
(Ref: II Timothy 3:16-17, II Peter 1:20-21; Isaiah 55:8-11; John 5:39; Isaiah 28:9-10;
Hebrews 4:12; II Timothy 2:15; Acts 10:43; Matthew 24:34; Joshua 1:8; John 14:24; Deuteronomy 18:18-19; Psalm 119:89)

And in numerous other scriptures, types, shadows and symbols, those truths shall be found, , which the diligent seeker of God’s truth, and not of man’s ‘doctrine’, will find, according to this principle of knowing the truth of God:

Isaiah 28:9-10:
9) "Whom shall He (God, the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of truth) teach knowledge? And whom shall He make to understand (God’s) doctrine? Them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
10) "For precept must be (accurately coordinated with, and) upon precept, (and each adjoining) precept upon (properly and scripturally interacting) precept; (and, similarly,) line upon line, line upon line; here a little (contributory bit of truth), and there a little (more, that a total truth may be known to the avid and astute son of the Most High God, Jehovah, our heavenly Father)."

Matthew 1:18: God, the Word, is given a flesh body because God declared that it would be so.
18) "Now the birth of Jesus Christ (the only begotten Son of God): When as His mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together (in marriage), she was found with Child of (God,) the Holy Ghost."

Isaiah 9:6: The prophecy of the birth of Jesus Christ:
6) "For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder (Deuteronomy 18:18) and His name shall be called ‘Wonderful’, ‘Counsellor’, ‘The Mighty God’, ‘The Everlasting Father’, ‘The Prince of Peace’.

Galatians 4:4-5: Here is a very specific principle of Christ’s birth into the world:
4) "But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law (according to Deuteronomy 18:18-19)."
5) "To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons (be born again’, ‘created in Christ Jesus’ ‘a new man’, (Jews and Gentiles into) ‘one new man’)."

 It was prophesied by all the prophets (mostly in Isaiah and in the Psalms) that Jesus would come into the world, and would do the work which the Father sent Him to do, that the Father, through Christ, and His finished work, would, and will, save the souls of all who would believe in Him. Here’s what God said to Moses about Christ Jesus coming into the world: (Acts 10:43)

Deuteronomy 18:18-19:
18) "I will raise them (the Jews, Israel, the ‘Circumcision’, the ‘people of God’) up a Prophet from among (not ‘of’, as of the same flesh of Adam, which flesh is sinful, whereas Jesus’ flesh is pure, and without the sinful nature of Adam, which all other flesh of man has, being of the same flesh of Adam) their brethren, like unto thee (Moses), 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 will not hearken unto My words which He shall speak in My name, I will require it of him (who does not hearken)."

And this is the declaration Jesus made to His apostles regarding those words which God, the Father put in Jesus’ mouth:

John 14:21-24: Of the commandments of Christ ‘that Prophet’, from God the Father:
21) " ‘He that hath My commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him.’
22) "Judas saith unto Him, not Iscariot, ‘Lord, how is it that Thou wilt manifest Thyself unto us, and not unto the world?’
23) "Jesus answered and said unto him, ‘If a man love Me, he will keep My words: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him.
24) " ‘He that loveth Me not keepeth not My sayings: and the word which ye hear is not Mine, but the Father’s which sent Me.’." (Deuteronomy 18:18-19)

In the following passage, we find that God, the Word, preceded Jesus Christ, the man:

Hebrews 10:5: Prophetic fulfilment regarding ‘that Prophet’, Whom God sent into the world:
5) "Wherefore when He (God, the Word, Who came into the body of the Son, Christ Jesus) cometh into the world, He saith (to God, the Father), ‘Sacrifice and offering Thou wouldest not (accept for the remission of the sins of men), but a body hast Thou prepared Me:’."

Is the word of truth therefore saying that the sacrifices of animals did not atone for the sins of those who offered them to God? Yes. That is precisely what God, the Word, said to God, the Father. And here is the brief explanation of the purpose of those sacrifices, and God’s reason for sending God, the Word, into the sinless and pure body, for the only sacrifice which would bring

to the lost souls of all individuals in the world who will believe on Him for salvation:

Hebrews 10:1-4:
1) "For the law having a shadow of good 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 thereto perfect (free from their past sins).
2) "For then would they not have ceased to be offered? Because that the worshipper once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
3) "But in those sacrifices there is (but) a remembrance again made of sins every year.
4) "For (according to the true principles of God,) it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins."

Therefore, our Lord, Jesus Christ, in the body which was pure, and without sin, kept all of the commandments in the law of Moses, without error (‘for sin is the transgression of the law’:
I John 3:4-5), and because that is God’s principle of salvation by and through Christ Jesus, it is therefore God’s principle that there is no Savior but One: Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh.

Acts 4:12:
12) "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."

John 14:6: Jesus states clearly and concisely the He is the only way to the Father:
6) "Jesus saith unto him (Thomas), ‘( am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me."

John 3:16-18: Christ, the Son of God Himself, declares this message of the gospel:
16) "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten (physical born) Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish (as a sinner, condemned), but have everlasting life.
17) "For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn (anyone in) the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
18) "He that believeth on Him is not condemned (any longer, for all his/her past sins which he/she has committed have been taken away upon believing in Jesus); but he/she that believeth not is condemned already (still), because he/she hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

Now, did you know that the pre-incarnate Christ, God, the Word, created all things? He was with God in the beginning (and before: John 17:5), for He was also God (the Word):

Hebrews 11:3: The first four words define the principle of understanding God’s spiritual truths:
3) "Through faith we understand that the worlds (elements in space) were framed by the Word of God, so that the things which are seen (detectible by natural senses, science, or other means) were not made from things which do appear (things from Infinity, spiritual things of the sphere of Infinite Science)."

Hebrews 1:1-4: How God speaks:
1) "God, Who at sundry (God’s specified and appointed) times and in divers manners (types, symbols, shadows, prophecies, psalms and proverbs, etc.) spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2) "Hath in these last days sspoken unto us by His Son (Jesus Christ, the Man),Whom He hath appointed Heir of all things (Matthew 28:18), by Whom (God, the Word) He made the worlds;
3) "Who being the brightness of His glory (John 1:14), and the express image of His Person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself (Christ the Man, the only begotten Son of God) purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
4) "Being made so much better than the angels, as He hath by inheritance (from the Father) obtained a more excellent name than they (the angels)."

John 1:1-3, 10-14: God, the Word, the Creator, was in Jesus Christ, the Man:

1) "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2) "The Same was in the beginning with God (,the Father, and God, the Holy Ghost).
3) "All things were made by Him (God, the Father, and God, the Word, and God, the Holy Ghost)."

10) "He (God: the Godhead, in Christ’s body) was in the world, and the world was made by Him (God), and the world knew Him not.
11) "He came unto His own (Israel, the ‘circumcision’, the Jews, God’s ‘chosen people’,the descendants of Abraham, who was the first Jew, who was formerly a Hebrew Gentile, before he was ‘circumcised’), and His own received Him not.
12) "But as many as received Him (in the Person of Christ), to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name:
13) "Which were born (again, of the Spirit), not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14) "And (God,) the Word became flesh (came into the flesh of the Man, Christ Jesus, the only begotten Son of God: Hebrews 10:5), and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only Begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."

John 1:17: John the Baptist declares that Jesus brought with Him grace and truth:
17) "For the law was given to Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ."

Abraham received the gift of righteousness without the works of the law, and the promise of God, that he, Abraham, would be the ‘father of many nations’, and that was the promise that God would send the blessing of salvation to all nations, both Jews and Gentiles through Christ.
(Read Romans 3:20-31, and Romans chapter four, and Genesis 17:1-14, for a more generous understanding of the covenant between God and Abraham. We shall define this in more specific detail in other writings.)

So the fulfilment of the promise of faith is through God’s Son, Jesus Christ, therefore the promise was through Abraham, but in Jesus Christ, the ‘Seed’ of Abraham:

Galatians 3:16:
16) "Now to Abraham and his ‘Seed’ were the promises made. He (God) saith not, ‘And to thy ‘seeds’, as of many; but as of One, ‘And to thy ‘Seed’, which is Christ."

God, the Word, never stopped being God, while in the body of flesh of Christ Jesus. And at times, He would speak as God, the Word, and not the Man, Christ Jesus, while at other times, The Lord Jesus would speak as the Man, Christ Jesus, the Son of God.

Colossians 2:9:
9) "For in Him (Jesus Christ, the Man, the Son of God by birth in the flesh) dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily (within Christ’s flesh)

Therefore, we must learn to divide the spirit and the spiritual from the flesh and the natural:

I Corinthians 2:14: Paul distinguishes between the natural man and the spiritual man:
14) "But the natural (carnal, flesh) man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness (not according to man’s natural reasoning): neither can he (the natural man, with only natural wisdom of carnal man) know them, for they are spiritually discerned."

There are yet many things more of which we shall write of this topic, and this writing will, from time to time, be edited for addition of other material, and for clarification in a few areas which I have only touched briefly.

Can we now see, through all of the explicit and specific things which God has given us in fine and concise detail, which clearly states how much He wants us to know and understand all of the things which pertain to life and godliness?

Whether any of you be a preacher, an evangelist, a seminary professor, or an administrator in any religious or Christian organization or denomination, please read my blogs.

They are intended specificallly to bring believers together in fellowship around the gospel of Jesus Christ, to salvation, which is the prime directive of the Church, in humility and charity toward all sisters and brothers (Romans chapter fourteen), and in keeping the commandments of our Lord Jesus Christ (John 13:34-35; Matthew 22:37-40; Romans 13:8-10; John 13:14-16;
John 14:21-24; Deuteronomy 18:18-19; I Corinthians 1:10; I Corinthians 2:2;
Corinthians 3:1-3; Philippians 1:15-18; I Corinthians 12:27, for starters).

John 13:34-35: Remember this, Church, sisters and brothers in Christ, the saved, the born again:
34) "A new commanment I give unto you, 'That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35) "By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples (even the apostles were 'disciples'), if ye have love one to another."

God loves you; love Him back!

'What Were They Thinkin’?' (For May 6, 2012)
By Allan Thomasson

Evolution of man? Enough!
Of primates, cavemen; all that stuff.
Stuff and nonsense! Never try
To say what swims, or walks, or flies

Could ever really come to be
By chance or accident. You see,
Our natural science does not allow
For any snake, fish, bird or cow

To suddenly originate
From nothing! Now, let’s get this straight!
If matter, you cannot create
Nor yet destroy, then how can "fate"

Cause everything to come to be?
For that would take eternity.
Two very small "particulates";
From nothing did they generate?

By some force, and some sort of gas
On which they float until they pass
And friction came, because they two
Both brushed together, so they grew

To then support a life so small;
Was that the start that caused it all?
To multiply, and grow and grow
Until the universe we know

Both came to be, and still exists?
Was that the start of all of this?
Well, I think not! For can it be
That science can't in reality

Explain the means by which it came,
For they would have to change the name
Of "science" to "science fiction" now.
What they present doth raise my brow;

That something came from nothing? No.
They just can’t say that . For we know
They’d have to change their principle
To show that truth’s dispensable,

And change the truth into a lie,
And show another reason why
Things came to be. The record’s clear,
That God created us, so dear

To His great Heart of love that we
Might live with Him eternally.
He sent His Son to live and die
So sinners just like you and I

Might trust His love, accept His grace,
For Jesus came and took our place.
Our sins upon Him then were cast
That we, through faith, might lose our past,

Our sinful nature in our flesh,
Thus starting life anew and fresh.
When we before Him penitent fall,
When we shall hear his loving call,

‘Come unto Me, and sin no more.
I have the life you’re looking for.
I died for you, to set you free
From sin; and you shall be with Me.’

And He receives us. Sinless now,
Because before Him we did bow,
Without a thought to look behind
Because we’ve vowed heart, soul and mind

To serve Him now, forever. Then
He promised He would come again
And take us, nevermore to be
Apart from Him. To Him now flee

From deadly sin and fleshly pride;
Receive the Christ, Who bled and died.
You won’t regret it. You will see.
Be blessed in all eternity.

So many lies and myths they make,
But your salvation they can’t take.
Though tale by tale they fight our Lord,
They’ll be defeated by His Word.

You win, you win! The devil’s lost!
For Jesus bought you at great cost.
He left His throne in heaven above
To save the world by His great love.

So many dear ones we now know
May never go to heaven, though,
Unless we tell them this sure plan
That God has made for mortal man.

While liars from their cup are drinkin’,
Lose their souls:. What are they thinkin’?
This great invitation too,
Is made for ‘them’, and me, and you.
