1 Corinthians 14:33 King James Version 33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. "Church" used
over 100 times in the New Testament. It is not an organization or a
building. It's the people, a gathering, a community, the Body of Jesus. Did you know Christ is not a baby any longer. He is risen. He is gloried light and he has overcome not just the world but Satin the devil in the first step. He did say it was finished when he drew his last breath. He does know his sheep. There are people that re-crucify the lord Jesus Christ many times over and many of these people do not realize what they are doing or how this is done. Many of these people are ignorant to understand what other Christians or even disciples of Jesus Christ may understand. Sad state of affairs. God knows your thoughts so those negative thoughts or those carnal thoughts are an embarrassment. We need to be humbled before the lord.
There are people that are under the impression that Jesus Christ faked his death on the cross and he made it out alive. Simply very wrong and untrue/a lie. Satin would want you to belief that. Anything that takes your focus away from the biblical truth he will do as he was a lair from the very beginning. The kind of death and punishment he underwent was very harsh and final. He is risen and alive because his father God raised him from the dead and he was given a name above all other names. He is risen and I can assure you he was raised from the dead. The bible is God's word and is TRUE! Wake UP!
Can we intrepid scripture? There are those that say only the holy spirit has that right or other religions but what does the bible say? Well there are some people who cling unto 2 Peter 1:20 to take it out of context to say we cannot. Can we read? Of course. Preachers need to understand the word of God to preach it.
.
Ever wonder about those early Christians and what they believed? This is very interesting and it came about when I was researching the word "Church". They did go to a syn-agog and references are there in scripture that they attended a temple/syn-agog where they taught on the Sabbath. Here is a link for now. What early Christians believed
When is comes to the word "Church" there does appear to be a mystery. Church buildings: We do now know more these days. They became more known after Jesus Christ's time on earth. It is said in the Greek language that Church used to be "ekklesia" which mean "called out ones". The word "Church" can be traced back to chirche. They say congregation is another closer word to reflect what there was in Christs day. They assembled. People when they become true believers sometimes become the disciples of the lord Jesus Christ. Of course they have something known as missionaries.
ekklesia is correctly translated "assembly" since it means "citizens called to be a governing assembly." In Acts 7:38 and Hebrews 2:12, ekklesia is translated as congregation which they say is a darn good interpretation. People are accustomed to Church building probably ever since Constantine in 325 AD but they did meet in their houses way back in the time of Christ.
Those who study these things/scholars/Christians say "Church" is the current replacement for ekklesia or congregation for certain reasons. They say it must have been that someone wanted it to be as such. King James instructed the scholars he assembled to leave the word "Church" in certain parts of The King James Bible. Today we think of people assembled in a building for religious service when someone mentions Church. People go to Church but Christ said the Kingdom of God comes NOT by observation but it is inside you. The assembly of God's people are gathered to worship God and they can do it in a Church building, outdoors as the people that are God's belongs to his body of believers and without people there would be no need. It is said there are many branches, limbs and such. So knowing this we should live holy.
Who was Christ?: We don't need to argue about saying he was Jewish when he walked the earth. He was whom he said he was and he was born as a Jewish man when he came to earth. But then again he was the son of the living God. Before Abraham he and the father were "1". He is the King of all Kings and Jehovah the King of the Jews and savior of the world. Bless the lord. He was the rejected cornerstone and the love he demonstrated is superior to any human beings. He is the prince of piece and the Alfa & Omega (1st & The last) He takes away the sins of the world. You were bought with a price and he payed it in full. He was born in Bethlehem and was crucified as he was sentenced by Pontius Pilate but he was raised by God from the grave on the 3rd day. Amen
There are none believer that like to say Christians ignore certain bible verses and they call God a monster for the judgment he brought upon certain peoples in the past such as Sodom & Gomorrah. I will tell you that if I were younger I may not have understood these bible passages either. The holy spirit and the bible does shed light and help us understand. There is something called dispensation when we are talking about the bible. Time periods and dispensation of something probably as prophecy.
Something perhaps God has foretold will happen. The word of God needs to be rightly divided and many times these passages are part of a story or event that occurred or in some cases prophets had foretold what would happen if certain people did not turn from their sins and refusal to obey the God of Abraham, Issac & Jacob. I am referring basically to one such writing found here @ I will later write more about how these things are misunderstood. The bible holds it's ground PERIOD. Remember that.
For now I will reference one passage that people are negative about or sometimes used to belittle/discredit God.
"Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys
came out of the town and jeered at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they
said. “Get out of here, baldy!” He turned around, looked at them and
called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came
out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys. 2 Kings 2:23-25 NIV"
Answer: The prophet Elijah was a very highly anointed prophet. They say even after he past if sick people touched his decaying bones they were healed. He even once drew fire down from heaven against the enemies that caused many people to praise God. They were dealing with a great prophet God sent to minister the word of God unto people that strayed. Souls were at stack. These children were really teen boys and not children of God. Satin sent them is what I read somewhere a while back. Look what Moses did when he came down from the mountain and threw them tablets. The ground opened and swallowed many people. The word of God tells us fear not man who can kill the body but God who can sent us to hell. One day people that are wicked and turn not away unto righteousness will find themselves given God an account for the wicked lives and they will tremble. Remember the rich man that went to hell and said go tell my seven brothers not to come here.
Bible versions: Many people don't understand the varying bible versions and their translations. For now here is a link but I will get more into this later.

http://www.biblestudy.org/question/which-bible-translation-is-closes-to-original-manuscripts.html
I came across that "beTheChurch" image. Well put. There are some people who call themselves Christians but they are the same as an unbeliever as God did really give them up to believe the strong delusion he sent them just as it is written. They seem to deny the power thereof. Some of these people no matter what evidence there is they may be presented with they are stubborn like a mule and are blinded to the real God as they have been blinded by religion/their traditions and as they say "The God of this world". However there are some people whom God has revealed certain things that others cannot perceive. This is true. The world is deceptive and Satin and those fallen Angels are much more clever than humans. This is why we must lean on God's understanding. Christians should pray for one and other.
When some people come to believe they may not have the back ground experience and knowledge others do or held such as great prophets like Moses or Isiah, or even other saints. They may lack spiritual insight too. There are Christians that have spiritual gifts that are different than others may have or have not. Jesus Christ came to seek and save the lost and the unbelievers must seek God with an open heart. Seek and you will find. Faith is extremely important and by reading God's word your faith should grow. Yes, he is really whom he said he was. Hell does exist.
Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. Blessed are you when people insult you and speak all sorts of evil against you or defile you because of God/Christ. Your rewards will be great so turn to the God of the King James Bible. Wake UP!!!!
When it comes to healing such as a limb, leg or arm God does not work that way. He leaves mystery in place for faith to grow. God is not in business as humans are. He is holy. Can we understand that? NO! Prayer works. There are times God has healed people, or by the laying of the hands God has healed people as it is said. But it is not just our faith but it is God's decision in the end. There are some people who claim they raised the dead. There are many who claim they healed people and it was proven to be a lie. There is an evangelist who claims to heal the sick and raises the dead whom was preaching in Hamilton Canada. See here.
Do you question if Christ is fiction or real. Some people serve a Christ that appears to be another one other than that the bible speaks about. Jesus Christ when he was born as it was said an Angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and said she would bare a son and he is to be named E-Manuel (God is with us) but he was eventually given the name Yeshua as he was Jewish. In the translation in the bible/scriptures he became known as Jesus down from the centuries and I studied this. They say main reason is they would have sold less bibles if they presented a Jewish Christ. So if that be true than he became Jesus when the "J" letter as invented somewhat in the last 400-500 years. There was a translation from Greek to English. But his name is translated Hebrew to Greek and then to English. The question then is he real? Yes
See Chad's explanation (links) on the prophecies being fulfilled perfectly.

How Pastors Get Rich
Let face it and many don't want to and others are not able to because they are reprobate and have cultivated programming that has seared their conscience but ever wonder how pastures and people such as televangelists get rich way beyond imagination? And there are others down throughout history doing this too. Recall the story when a couple lied to Peter the Apostle and he re-bucked them and they fell dead. Well these types of people will even go as far as saying don't rebuke them as they are doing God's work while they live in million dollars mansions, drive expensive cars and rent hotel rooms worth thousands per night. They feed their flock one thing while doing another. Hypocrites to the letter.
There is an article HERE & You can listen HERE as well. There is another article about the net worth of certain pastures HERE to. Phil Collins once wrote a song and he had some lyric that went "This is the world we live in", and that is correct, wicked, evil and fallen. Christ knew this. A little leaven leavens the whole load.
They would want you to tide but Christ said when you give don't let your right hand know what your left hand is doing . I know there are some of these people that are not rich and work hard but among the wheat are the tars. Lots ask for donation and money and they may even be heard on major networks/radio but be double careful when you cannot obtain a podcast of their radio broadcasts but they may provide an email address for prayers. Prayer is between you and God ONLY. They will pray for you YES and then they will ask for money/donations. There are corrupt charities that had been found as such in the past.
You can ask people you know to pray for you and you pray for them. Prayer is the individuals rights to the heavenly father. Beware. As said there are righteous people and bless them but there are those who will sell you spiritual things BUT the KINGDOM of GOD cannot be purchased with human money. That Kingdom is inside you. Greater is he that is inside YOU than in the world. His Kingdom come not by observation. Hell is REAL and many will find their eternal (Age Lasting) riches and mansion there one day. It's time for these people to repent.
If these people were in front of Christ they would argue with him about their position but he knew there are wolves in sheep's clothing and pharisees in life. Many of them use techniques that make you feel compelled to give to them MAINLY. And MANY will keep pagan traditions and teach them to their flock all the while they teach their flock abominable things against the scripture and then justify it mainly by the new t- estimate. They will say "EVERYTHING" is nailed to the cross. So why repent then and why be baptized, & why live a righteous life then? We ARE under the new t - estimate but we re not granted a license to sin. God extended grace (AMEN) but we cannot do what EVE did NOW. NO!! Beware the serpent is cunning.
I know & understand running a ministry is not cheap and has expenses but it is not like running an ordinary business. And some people give their sermons away for free and asks politely for help fund wise. Not saving they should not be supported but beware of the wolves such as prosperity preachers. Ask yourselves was Christ Rich, did the Apostles and the disciples live rich. Were not many martyred? Oh yes, they will say Abraham was rich and justify their position of great wealth while doing God's work. They cannot see HELL YET and so the leaven gets leavened to the MAX.

It's in the bible. It encouraged being wealthy (Heard someone preach this recently)
You know I don't think it is a sin to run a large business or corporation depending on if it serves God's purposes to be rich. Even farmers. Some of these large corporations provide jobs. Amen When it comes to faith and preachers/pastures becoming mega rich and living in million dollar mansions that JUST is not right. They need to be the example. They probably need a hotel room (Large) so they could have people gather. Maybe renting a large hall is expensive as well. I've heard of rich celebrities that stay simple. If we are accountable to GOD for what we do or when we convince ourselves this is okay we may find out it never was. Christ said we have to give up our way and choose the narrow way. How about they take the least from the audience and put them up there to preach and give them the mansion for 3 weeks while they sleep in the trailer park. Try it.
I know the reality is different than what should be gospel wise for a preacher and I am sure there are those that could have those riches and don't want them. You don't want to get to the judgment seat of Christ and find out you are a goat instead of a sheep. Can you imagine. Christ said if you have two coats give one to someone else. The Kingdom of God is like a man who wanted to buy a field perhaps of Gold and he sold everything he had so he could enter heaven. You got to pass the exam. We are not here for ourselves but to learn his ways and be prepared. Your works or your heavenly duties are done out of your heart because that not only glorifies God but when you done it unto them you done it unto Christ/God, and if you seek God's heart as David did than you need to be like Christ.
There are businesses and corporations that sometimes raise money for the poor and help others and we should not think to not thank them or ignore that. When we do something if we are the example and do it for his cause and not our own I think it will have fruit in the end. People should be encouraged to give to the food bank and causes that will help others. We don't do it for a pat on the back but because we are to love our nab-ours as our self. We have a heart than we give to charities that help the lame and crippled too. There are many ways to give and endless ways to take. Consumption is what a mansion on earth produces while others are homeless and dying on the street. You know the story about the good Samaritan. The priest (God's Man) walked by. And a total stranger helped. Do we REALLY practice what we preach. No Satin comes along and tells them your a great man of GOD how about this million dollar mansion and how about a jet worth millions. Then he tells them all you have to do is TWIST the gospel a little and the money will rain in. Guess what? It works. And I know some need money to support their ministries and that is understandable. There are many that live simple but very GOOD. Nothing makes it right. It will always be a waste of money and not the example saints or those believing on Christ should have. Put him first and that rich life style last.

Sell your cloak and buy a sword
People say that the lord Jesus Christ told the Apostles to sell their cloak and buy a sword. He did! But not for physical protection as they (some) may have misunderstood their master/savior. Christ said two is enough and there was more than 11 men. Prophecy had to be fulfilled and he even said to them those things written about him must be fulfilled. Remember he is the prince of peace and his way was the way of LOVE/PEACE and not hate, nor murder. Most of these Apostles were martyred for the faith but it is said that John the Apostle after being released from the Island of Pap-mos lived until old age and died a natural death. Remember Christ said those who lived by the sword will die by the sword. He told his disciples to preach the gospel (The GOOD NEWS) and be as gentle as a dove. Why is it the good news? Because heaven and earth will pass away but his words will never pass away and his Kingdom will come into being and be eternal. It will replace everything that exists at this time or that existed in the past. A new heaven and earth will come forth as the old expires. Yes it is true. Turn to the lord today. The word of GOD will outlast everything.
Now that roaring lion appears in the news every single day as it is filled with people getting worst. They did a survey in Canada asking "Do you think the government should allow alcohol sales in corner stores?" 73.8 % said YES. Are we getting better or worst. Matter of fact they legalized some form of drug in Canada and the smell is almost everywhere. I can tell people are smoking more and they could care less about cancer and such. Recall a guy I once knew who's girlfriend was cured of cancer and I asked him did she stop smoking? He said NO! We want to defile our bodies and than we expect God to have doctors cure us but we refuse to obey God's commands but we sure want into heaven but we just cannot obey God. Christ said you must love God "with all your heart might and soul." That means LISTEN to GOD.
Recently a woman officer died by a drunk driver. Shame. People are falling away and hate GOD.
Say this prayer above in your room here everyday. (In private). Obey the words of that prayer.
See the image of bible passage Daniel 7:25 It's happened and prophecy has been fulfilled. But it will happen again as the bible says in the end times when the Anti-Christ rises. Are you saved? Many people will cry on the day of judgement. Remember God is a jealous God but not in terms of human jealousy because he seeks your love and attention. If he did not love you he would not have sent his only begotten son into the world. You must make the choice whom you will serve in your house today.
Seek God's ways and not mans falling away ways. I recommended you get yourself a King James Bible and read it. Study it and obey it. I know it is not easy but you can. Remember if the true God is for you WHO can be against you.
We give E·lo·him thanks and praise every single day. Amen

2. Corinthians 11:3
3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

Amos 3:7 ESV “For the Lord God does nothing without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets."
There you go. Great is the lord thy God. What are they? "Servants"

Scripture does speaks of individual's ability to interpret Scripture. In many cases it's not hard. But the devil would like you to believe it is too hard and you cannot. Faith comes by hearing and also when you read the word of God that is a living word sharper than a two edge sword. God is wonderful and not a monster. Man is wicked and evil and drawn away from the true and living God. God would like you and me to live righteous and turn from our sin. When you reject his way you are letting God know the true intentions of your wicked hearts. No wonder there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth on judgment day. Many are deceived.
1 John 2:27, "As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him."
Acts 17:11, "Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so."

How Pastors Get Rich
Remember
Jesus Christ (Yeshua) had nowhere to lay his head? Why? he was
rejected, mocked and hated and by his very own. Yet he is whom he said
he was. He said they did the same evil to the prophets that were before
him. What he told the Apostles happened just as he said it would. Even
when he was born did any King give up their palace for him or anyone
their house? Funny but we want into heaven and we want to be healed but we just cannot listen. Miracles and feeding were fine but obeying him not so as
the world loves it's own. So these Mega Preachers that have or are becoming richer
than ever need to understand this. He said don't do as the gentiles where
they raise their leaders to the top. He told them you will not do this.
Your least must be your first. He was a man well acquainted with sorrows. And there are some that would say would there have been a better way. NO! Because the spirit needs to comply and obey GOD. Eve disobeyed God. Do you? Wake up!
Let face it and many don't want to and others are not able to because they are reprobate and have cultivated programming that has seared their conscience but ever wonder how pastures and people such as televangelists get rich way beyond imagination? And there are others down throughout history doing this too. Recall the story when a couple lied to Peter the Apostle and he re-bucked them and they fell dead. Well these types of people will even go as far as saying don't rebuke them as they are doing God's work while they live in million dollars mansions, drive expensive cars and rent hotel rooms worth thousands per night. They feed their flock one thing while doing another. Hypocrites to the letter.
"And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the hatemongers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves." Oh how a little leaven leavens the WHOLE LOAD.
There is an article HERE & You can listen HERE as well. There is another article about the net worth of certain pastures HERE to. Phil Collins once wrote a song and he had some lyric that went "This is the world we live in", and that is correct, wicked, evil and fallen. Christ knew this. A little leaven leavens the whole load.
You can ask people you know to pray for you and you pray for them. Prayer is the individuals rights to the heavenly father. Beware. As said there are righteous people and bless them but there are those who will sell you spiritual things BUT the KINGDOM of GOD cannot be purchased with human money. That Kingdom is inside you. Greater is he that is inside YOU than in the world. His Kingdom come not by observation. Hell is REAL and many will find their eternal (Age Lasting) riches and mansion there one day. It's time for these people to repent.
If these people were in front of Christ they would argue with him about their position but he knew there are wolves in sheep's clothing and pharisees in life. Many of them use techniques that make you feel compelled to give to them MAINLY. And MANY will keep pagan traditions and teach them to their flock all the while they teach their flock abominable things against the scripture and then justify it mainly by the new t- estimate. They will say "EVERYTHING" is nailed to the cross. So why repent then and why be baptized, & why live a righteous life then? We ARE under the new t - estimate but we re not granted a license to sin. God extended grace (AMEN) but we cannot do what EVE did NOW. NO!! Beware the serpent is cunning.
I know & understand running a ministry is not cheap and has expenses but it is not like running an ordinary business. And some people give their sermons away for free and asks politely for help fund wise. Not saving they should not be supported but beware of the wolves such as prosperity preachers. Ask yourselves was Christ Rich, did the Apostles and the disciples live rich. Were not many martyred? Oh yes, they will say Abraham was rich and justify their position of great wealth while doing God's work. They cannot see HELL YET and so the leaven gets leavened to the MAX.

When we do something if we are the example and do it for his cause and not our own I think it will have fruit in the end. People should be encouraged to give to the food bank and causes that will help others. We don't do it for a pat on the back but because we are to love our nab-ours as our self. We have a heart than we give to charities that help the lame and crippled too. There are many ways to give and endless ways to take. Consumption is what a mansion on earth produces while others are homeless and dying on the street. You know the story about the good Samaritan. The priest (God's Man) walked by. And a total stranger helped. Do we REALLY practice what we preach. No Satin comes along and tells them your a great man of GOD how about this million dollar mansion and how about a jet worth millions. Then he tells them all you have to do is TWIST the gospel a little and the money will rain in. Guess what? It works. And I know some need money to support their ministries and that is understandable. There are many that live simple but very GOOD. Nothing makes it right. It will always be a waste of money and not the example saints or those believing on Christ should have. Put him first and that rich life style last.

Sell your cloak and buy a sword
MATTHEW 6:9-13
The Lord's prayer
Now that roaring lion appears in the news every single day as it is filled with people getting worst. They did a survey in Canada asking "Do you think the government should allow alcohol sales in corner stores?" 73.8 % said YES. Are we getting better or worst. Matter of fact they legalized some form of drug in Canada and the smell is almost everywhere. I can tell people are smoking more and they could care less about cancer and such. Recall a guy I once knew who's girlfriend was cured of cancer and I asked him did she stop smoking? He said NO! We want to defile our bodies and than we expect God to have doctors cure us but we refuse to obey God's commands but we sure want into heaven but we just cannot obey God. Christ said you must love God "with all your heart might and soul." That means LISTEN to GOD.
Recently a woman officer died by a drunk driver. Shame. People are falling away and hate GOD.
Say this prayer above in your room here everyday. (In private). Obey the words of that prayer.
Seek God's ways and not mans falling away ways. I recommended you get yourself a King James Bible and read it. Study it and obey it. I know it is not easy but you can. Remember if the true God is for you WHO can be against you.
We give E·lo·him thanks and praise every single day. Amen
