Has anyone read the Left Behind books series? They actually made a movie for those who don't want to sit down and read the first of the books titles Left Behind, there is now another good one on the market called Fireproof which might relate to more people now. This one is made as in current days. It's a good one, watched it Thursday evening, you should watch it. Jesus was spoken of or foretold of in the Old Testiment, he just wasn't given a name yet. HE was born to die for you. If HE died for you and you received salvation because of it, then his death was worth it. GOD sent HIS son to die that we might have a chance to live again. We become reborn, not another natural rebirth, but born again through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Hadn't you rather take your chances and receive salvation and live for GOD believing that there is a better place to go than to find out because of stubbornness or stupidity that there really is a HELL and people who have not been reborn throught Christ will live there eternally. Read the book of John, pay special attention to chapter 3 verse 16 where it says "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER(that means you) believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Yes there are many authors of the books in the bible. Read Revelation, it tells of what is happening right now, foretold by GOD himself, to Saint John, who put it in writing so that we could be warned of things to come. If you read the entire book of Revelation, you will see these signs and be made aware of what it to come. Myself, I don't plan to be here throughout the entire chapter, I have made a plan of escape, it is called the rapture. Whether it be from the grave or from my being while I am alive, I will be caught away to be with Jesus and the other saints who prepared for HIS coming.  The Left Behind Series (and things like it)is horrible and based upon a false interpretation of the scriptures. All the events that are called "prophetic" have already happened almost 2000 years ago in the Roman Empire. Jesus said that we can forgive and be forgiven. That means we have free will. The choice is ours. There is no prewritten destiny for us. The belief in fate and destiny are Pagan beliefs. This entire world can be saved. Never give up hope. Things like the Left Behind Series will cause people to lose their faith when they never happen. Jesus has already returned from the dead. You can kill a man but you cant kill an idea. Don't believe the lies of the false prophets. One person can change the world. One person can make a difference. Jesus proved it The only "End" is what we make it.

The author of the message below, just tells it like it is. I must warn you , He is a bit ruff( I prefer being kind no matter what), but I believe his Words speak the TRUTH nonetheless , and thus needed to be heard by ALL. Mostly, the reason this word needs to be heard , is because the Time is short, and the enemy is busy trying to devour all he can , in these final last days. Here is the Message now. 
Be Blessed Everyone Now.
......Is The Bible God's Word?....... ( by David J. Stewart ) "All Scripture is given by Inspiration of God, and is Profitable for Doctrine, for Reproof, for Correction, for Instruction in Righteousness:" - 2nd Timothy 3:16 Evidence That the Bible is God's Word: Because it claims to be (as read in our Scripture above). Because It hits the nail right on the head concerning the sinfulness of mankind. 2nd Timothy 3:1-7 reads, " This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." Mankind is evil through and through. The humanists say man can improve. The New Age gang says that we can become gods. Evolutionists claim we all came from apes (with NO proof whatsoever). The Mormons say we can become gods. Do you think the American Psychiatric Association is going to tell you that you're a sinner on your way to Hell if you die in your sins? No! This is NOT JUST RELIGION MY FRIEND , this is YOUR LIFE!!! What Book is there on this earth that gives you the PLAIN TRUTH about mankind and life? THE WORD OF GOD is the ONLY ANSWER!!! The Bible plainly teaches that man is prone to destruction because man has a sin-nature (Romans 3:10,23;5:12;7:21). Archaeology is in agreement with the Word of God. Not one spadefull of dirt has ever been uncovered to disprove the Word of God. In fact, many Archaeological expeditions have provided substantial evidence in support of Biblical claims. We don't need Archeology to prove the Bible, the Bible is evidence enough by itself. Yet, here are more proofs if you need them. The Bible Itself is all the evidence I need. The Bible is scientifically accurate. Isaiah 40:22 declares that the earth is round. Leviticus 17:11 declares that the life is in the blood. For centuries doctors foolishly drained the blood out of their patients resulting in certain death. The Bible also mentions astronomy, Job 9:9 mentions Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades. Proverb 17:22 teaches that good health is directly linked to being happy. Psychiatrists offices are overflowing today with the stressed out people. Happiness can only come from being SAVED and Living for the TRUTH of GOD'S WORD. The Bible was miraculously written. The Bible was written over a 1,500 year period by 40 different men as GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT MOVED THRU THEM!!! There is NO earthly way possible that so many men (most of whom never met each other), could have written so many different books in different styles that all perfectly merge into one meaningful Book, BUT.... WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!!!!! The world's hatred for the Word of God. John 3:20 reads, "For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved." This is why the unsaved world hates Jesus Christ and His Word so intensely, because They expose sin! NO book on this planet is hated anywhere near as much as the Bible. Most people hate the Truth. Speaking the Truth is a fast way to make enemies, "Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?. " The world hated Jesus without a cause because He spoke the Truth (John 15:25). The world's hatred for Christians. Jesus said, "I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world" -John 17:14. I've been despised and hated my whole life because of my Christian testimony. I know what it's like to be ostracized by others, to be lied about, to be called a hypocrite, to be laughed at and ridiculed, to be the black sheep of the family. But I know God will make everything right in Heaven. Jesus told us that we'd be hated. It's really Jesus and the Bible that they hate, not us. I'm not going to feel bad about something that God said would happen. I don't like to be hated, but I love the Truth and want to please God by proclaiming It far and wide. The attack from false religions. The book of Koran is a jumbled mess containing no prophecy at all. The Koran attacks Christians, Jews, and the doctrines of the Bible. The Jehovah Witnesses (JW's) claim that Michael the archangel became Jesus. They deny Christ's deity. The Mormons deny Christ's deity. The Catholics pervert the Bible by teaching the necessity of the sacraments for salvation, etc. Wiccan witches reject the Word of God as fables. New Agers teach that there are millions of ways to God, just follow the light; but the Word of God proclaims that there is ONLY ONE WAY TO HEAVEN and that's through JESUS CHRIST!!! Every false religion in one way or another twists and corrupts the Word of God. The attack is AGAINST the WORD OF GOD!!! The woeful condition of the world. The Bible clearly teaches that Satan is the "god" of this world (2nd Corinthians 4:4). John 10:10 plainly declares that the Devil only comes to kill, steal, and destroy. It's obvious that there are evil forces at work beyond human suffering and war. Most people believe in God and Satan, so why is it so hard to accept the idea that GOD WOULD WANT TO COMMUNICATE WITH HIS CREATION?? (Humanity) It doesn't surprise me that spoiled Americans would deny the existence of God and Satan, but ask anyone in a third world nation if they believe. Pride blinds men's eyes. 1st John 5:19 declares that the whole world lieth in wickedness. The existence of Satanists and occult groups. The fact that all these Satanic groups, like the Church of Satan are proof of Satan. Wicca witches deny the existence of Satan, but Biblically they are of Satan. Just because they deny the Devil doesn't mean he doesn't exist. Hitler was known to levitate above the floor. He was infatuated with the occult. America is plagued with occult groups such as Bohemian Grove, Skull and Bones, Freemasonry, and many more. Freemasonry commonly displays an upside down pentagram representing the Devil. They worship the great architect, Baphomet (Satan). Just look online at some of the witchcraft websites speaking about spells, charms, astral projection, astrology, etc. The Bible clearly FORBIDS such activities (Deuteronomy 18:10; 1st Samuel 15:23; Isaiah 47:13, Ephesians 5:11). The Holy Spirit in my heart. Romans 8:9 reads, "But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his." And Romans 8:16, "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:" What a wonderful Truth, God's Holy Spirit lives within the body of every believer. I know that the Bible is God's Word because the Holy Spirit within my body tells me so. It's not something I can describe. All I can say is that when I read the Word of God, it all makes perfect sense to me. I thank God for His Precious Word! All of the modern corrupt Bibles. The fact that Satan is trying to eradicate the Truth by corrupting It's contents speaks volumes. The fact that every modern Bible diminishes the deity of Christ, the blood atonement, the Godhead, and many other doctrines as compared to the King James Bible is evidence that the Bible is indeed God's Word. Sadly, even many believers have bought into the Devil's lie of swapping their trustworthy King James Bible for a perversion like the New International Version which completely removes the words "Godhead," "sodomites," and even "begotten" in John 3:16. It is so obvious that Satan is relentlessly attacking God's Word. Man wouldn't have written the bible. Man couldn't have written the Bible if he wanted to, and wouldn't if he could have. Why would men write a book condemning themselves? Not one book throughout history even comes near to the Bible's description of mankind. Jeremiah 17:9 reads, "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" What man could write such a thing? The lie of evolution. The fact that evolution is taught as if it were a fact all across the world is evidence of man's unwillingness to learn the Truth. Evolution has no scientific basis, it cannot be tested or studied. Evolution is NOT science, but a mere theory of atheist conjectures. If the Bible is not true, then why is mankind desperately trying to hide his ignorance concerning creation. There is NO answer which makes sense EXCEPT GOD!! Evolution is proof of one thing, that man is afraid of the Truth. A man recently sent me a letter asking how I knew the Bible was God's Word. He said that the Bible contained many contradictions that confused him. A simple web search under "Alleged Bible Discrepancies" will provide hundreds of links to answer any skeptics questions. Googling just the above alone , provided 701 links. Several excellent books have been written on this issue which will also show up in any web search under "Alleged Bible Discrepancies." The problem is that a lot of people want to argue, they're belligerent. They DON'T want to learn the TRUTH, they just want to argue what they believe. I don't argue with people, I generally just send them Bible verses. Let them argue with God. The gentleman who wrote me also asked how Noah was able to provide Eucalyptus plants for the Koala's on the ark. He also wanted to know why the tower of Babel was an issue when planes today fly much higher than the tower of Babel could have been built. Then he asked where Cain got his wife. I sent him the following Scripture... "But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself." -Titus 3:9-11 The word "subverted" simply means that he is destroyed of himself. He is corrupted to the point where he is unreasonable. You can't logic with him because he has become his own worst enemy. The Word of God directs us NOT to answer questions which have no answer... "But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes." -2nd Timothy 2:23 I don't try to answer questions that have no obvious answer. The Apostle Paul clearly said that God has only provided us with a limited understanding, "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known" -1st Corinthians 13:12. Too many believers try to answer questions which do not need to be answered. I'm not going to try to figure out where Cain's wife came from. Does it matter? To the godless reprobate that is already biased against God's Word, you've got to prove everything to him or else he claims he won't believe. The truth of the matter is that he wouldn't believe anyway even if you could prove it to him. Abraham told the rich man in Hell concerning his brothers still living, "If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead" -Luke 16:31. What is Proof? I get all sorts of letters from people wanting "proof" that the Bible is God's Word. What is "proof." Is it not relevant? Proof is based upon evidence. The evidence that I might consider as "proof" of something may not be enough evidence for you. You can present the same evidence to 10 different people and they may not all except it as proof. Hence, some people believed that the earth was round hundreds of years ago simply because Isaiah 40:22 said that it was (or because they saw that the moon was round). Yet, there were also plenty of skeptics back then who adamantly proclaimed that they'd go to their graves believing that the earth was flat. Everyone who believed the earth was flat was wrong, but they were sincerely wrong. Likewise, many people today are sincerely wrong about the Word of God. To me, the WORD OF GOD itself is PROOF ENOUGH that It is the ETERNAL INSPIRED INFALLIBLE INCORRUPTIBLE PRESERVED WORD OF GOD!!! If it is not enough proof for you, then your fate is in your own hands. I receive so many letters from people who want to argue over foolishness. They don't really want to find the Truth of God's Word. Arguing, like gossip, is a cheap form of entertainment for some people. The Apostle Paul in this Scriptures we just read , advises us to "reject" belligerent people who just want to argue foolishness. By "Reject" Paul simply means that we shouldn't waste our time trying to convince someone who already has formed a biased opinion. I receive many wonderful letters from people who need my help, and I always do my best to help them. It's not that we should give up on anyone, but there are so many people who haven't heard the gospel that need our help. Let us be productive for God and not allow critics to preoccupy our precious time which can be spent helping those who want to be helped. Romans 10:15 reads, "...How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!" Notice that the Bible doesn't say it is beautiful to argue with people. What is beautiful is the GOOD NEWS of JESUS CHRIST. I have written an article concerning this which I hope you will read titled, The Simple Gospel. We must all read the Bible for our self and then personally decide whether or not we believe It is God's Word. There is NO magic bullet. Either you BELIEVE the Bible is God's Word or you don't! I believe 100%! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Heart of the Matter... To him who believes, no explanation is necessary; to him that believeth not, no explanation is possible. http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Bible/gods_word.htm
I am lover of my own self, a covetous, boastful, proud, blasphemous, disobedient to my parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreaker, false accuser, incontinent, fierce, despiser of those that are good, Traitor, heady, highminded, lover of pleasures more than lovers of god; kind of man.

You can call it a fantacy. But didn't even Darwin call out to the almighty on his death bed? No, he did not. That whole story of his deathbed conversion is a lie. The person who fist told it claimed that she was there, wasn't. All of his family deny he story, say that he did no do so. Darwin was a very devoted christian until part way through his famous voyage when he began to question his beliefs and the creation story. |

This is why the unsaved world hates Jesus Christ and His Word so intensely, because They expose sin! The man who wrote these words is the man who is full hate MorningSong. He's a judgemental bigot using Jesus as an excuse to judge others. He even denies the words that are attributed to Jesus. He denies that we are Gods. Yet according to the scritpures Jesus himself said this: "Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?" I'm afraid your Mr. David Stewart is a bigoted fool using Jesus to judge others that interpret these ancient writings in a way that is quite different from his hateful views. Mr. Stewart is speading hate for Jesus' sake. Men like him are what give Christinity it deservedly bad name. Christianity itself is a religion that denies Jesus in an effort to make him into the "monsterous Christ" the the Christians so love to use to as an excuse to hate others. Even according to the scriptures Jesus made it clear that he was not the son of the God fo Abraham. Jesus said, "Before Abraham was I AM". And there you have it. There is no way that Jesus was claiming to be the Son of the God of Abraham, for he clearly was claiming to exist before that ficticious God was even invented. Jesus was a pantheist trying to teach people that we are all Gods and that we are all equal. Even the scriptures say the following: "And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." Jesus is telling us that he is our brother. We are like Jesus. We are not the inherently evil as Stewart attempt to judge us to be! Mankind is evil through and through. That's hogwash, and Jesus never even said any such thing. Stewart is the one who hates Jesus. He totally despises Jesus for being our brother and for tell us that we are Gods. The New Age gang says that we can become gods. No. Jesus said that we are Gods! Stewart rejects the words of Jesus. Stewart hates Jesus and the teachings of Jesus. And he has such audacity to claim that people who actually understand what Jesus was saying are the one's who hate Jesus. Talk about being a judgmental bigot! No MorningSong, Mr. Stewart doesn't speak for Jesus, or God! Mr. Stewart is full of hate, and he's trying to spread that hate in Jesus' name. The real irony in all of this is that Mr. Stewart is probably a protestant. Protestantism came into being when people protested againts the Catholic Church and the idea that the Pope should speak for Jesus. Yet look at what Mr. Stewart has become! He's an empty Paper Pope attempting to spread hate in Jesus' name. What a sad state of affairs. Mr. Stewart does not speak for Jesus MorningSong. Don't worship Mr. Stewart! He's a false Pope! A man who LIES in the name of Jesus! |

Morningsong is a sweet woman but unfortunately she is brainwashed like billions of people around the world.
I am afraid MorningSong will continue to believe in the preaching of Mr. Stewart. In the end her prostelyzing will work only with those who keep their noses in the bible all day and nothing else. |

All I can say is that if G-d made me in his own image, He sure is one underachiever.

All I can say is that if G-d made me in his own image, He sure is one underachiever. Oh come on Rich, you know that's not true! You know that if you applied yourself to 100% of your capabilities there is nothing you could not achieve. Confess that you are guilty of at least a little bit of sloth, as we all are. But don't feel guilty about it! After all, God is guilty of sloth too! He could have created the Earth to be perfect, but He quit working on it after only seven days! Talk about giving up easy! 
He went off to have beer and hasn't been back since! Except for one time when he realized that humans were acting more like fungus on his planet. He tried to flush us off the planet but unbeknownst to him a few of us escaped in a ark to reinfest the globe. Wait until he comes back again. Boy is he going to be pissed! |

Actually I saw him at the Green Dragon's Tavern the other day having a Goblin's Brew.
He didn't look bad actually. Who wouldn't if you saw how the goddess looked like at the other side of the bar?
So don't hesitate to have a nice cold beer once in awhile. Like Ben Franklin said, "Beer is proof God loves us, and wants us to be happy." |

I also know beyond any reason of a doubt if it were not for miraculous events, I WOULD BE DEAD! Miraculous events happen all the time. What's that got to do with any particular religion? Besides, why would you want to live? If you truly believe that death will take you to God then death should be the one thing that you most look forward to.
Christian's fear of death is the most ironic thing I've ever heard.

He did create a perfect world, the first earth and heaven age, then the downfall, thus our current flesh age That's what the authors of the myth would like you to believe, but clearly that’s an untenable scenario. That's what the authors of the myth would like you to believe, but clearly that’s an untenable scenario. I’ve explained why that can’t be the case countless times. But like Smiless often says, trying to educate people who are bent on supporting hateful dogma is truly wasted time. I’ll just give you a hint: If heaven was so perfect then why were a full third of god's angels not pleased with it? 
Is perfection subjective? I just watch a lecture tonight on the history of mathematics and it was the story of Hypatia and the Great Library at Alexandria. This was not long after the time that the New Testament would have been written. Only about 400 AD. The Christians were on the war path to burn and destroy all pagan temples and murder anyone who denies that Jesus was the “Christ”. Hypatia was a very loving and intelligent woman who just happened to be a ‘pagan’ and taught mathematics at the library of Alexandria (actually it was more like a university). The Christian mob led by a Christian monk of high authority attacked Hypatia as she was on her way to teach and they literally tore her body to shreds in the streets like savage dogs. All in the name of Jesus “The Christ”. The Christians eventually went on to destroy the entire university in the name of Jesus “The Christ”. Is it really any wonder that the name of “Christ” has become a vulgar cuss word?
And of course I know that you’ll say, “Oh but those were true Christianity”. Sorry but that doesn’t hold water. These were indeed Christians! If what you elude to when you speak of “True Christians” are people who actually ACT like Jesus instead of using him as an excuse to become bigots, then most Buddhists and Wiccan’s, and even Atheists would be “True Christians” whilst the vast majority of people who believe that Jesus was “The Christ” would be the “False Christians”. If True Christianity is all about holding the values that Jesus held then I’ve always been a True Christian and continue to be so even as I totally denounce the Bible as being the word of God. I don’t need to believe that Jesus was ‘The Christ” to recognize that he taught the same high morals as Buddha. I don’t need to believe in the bigotry and male-chauvinistic attitudes of an Old Testament that Jesus himself denounced. I can be “Christ-like” without believing that Jesus was the sacrificial lamb of an egotistical jealous God that lusts for blood sacrifice to appease his over-inflated ego. Jesus denounced the bigoted violence and vicious ways of that God, and so do I. In that way Jesus and I are like brothers. In fact if we can trust the gospels at all we know that Jesus himself said everything that would imply that we are his brother and he is ours. I won’t bother quoting the specific verses you should be able to find them yourself. It’s not necessary to embrace the lie that Jesus was “The Christ” to understand what Jesus was attempting to teach. In fact, if you take the time to study Buddhism you will clearly see precisely where Jesus got all of his moral values. If he didn’t learn from the Buddhists then it’s one hell of a coincidence that Buddha taught the very same things that Jesus taught only 500 years earlier! Jesus had nothing new to offer. He taught Buddha’s moral values basically verbatim. The crap about him being “The Christ” was made up demagoguery. Jesus didn’t even agree with the teachings of the God of Abraham. What does it take to see that?
Even the gospels are in agreement with that much. |
