Born to Hate Jews

This is a powerful presentation against hate.

"Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;" 

                                                                                                             Matthew 5:43-44

How Can People Take These Kind Videos Seriously????

Psa 33:4 For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth. 

Psa 33:5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD. 

Psa 119:137 Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments. 

These verses are the perfect answer to the Euthyphro Dilemma. This video below is an absolute horrendous excuse for anything close to philosophy. I can't believe how even on youtube people cannot seem to be able to divert, for even a moment, from agenda that is constantly being crammed down our throats. BTW I didn't even finish this video; all you need to watch is the first few minutes before you start throwing up at the ridiculous logic and research. One more thing that I can't understand is how Christians complain about a sermon that lasts more than 20 minutes, but will sit through an entire 2 hour barrage, that is a poor excuse for a movie. It seems like every movie being made these days is constantly preaching the communist agenda, screaming at us to shut up and get in line and give up minds to their trash. Sorry for the rant. :) I am just getting a bit tired of the agenda. Thank you, thank your to you Christians out there who actually come up with good and godly content. Thank you for taking a stand in this day and age. Christians please be cautious about what you watch, and put in front of your family. Get in a Bible preaching church and learn some truth.

Joh 8:31  Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 

Joh 8:32  And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 

Here is the clip, feel free to laugh yourself silly. :)

Children's Church

This is a great answer to the reason why so many of our young people are leaving the church. Why would they want to stay in a place that we have kept them out of until they are age 18? There can be a place for Sunday School and Children's Church, but we have to keep asking ourselves is it for their benefit or our convenience? Enjoy this funny video that asks a very pertinent question to the modern church.

Courage

The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion. 

                                                                                                                   Proverbs 28:1

History tends to prove this statement true. Most of your latest war movies not so much. Think of the morality of the "brave" ones; usually not so good. Nothing is further from reality. Nothing terrorizes the mind of tyrants more than the principled Christian.

Thoughts and Prayers

Christians refuses a bake a cake for Homosexuals and our society is outraged. Islamist extremest shoot almost a hundred of them and society is silent. The only people praying for the dead and dying are the Christians. Who really cares for them in the end? Fellow believers join me tonight in prayer for those that have lost so much in this tragedy. No one deserves this kind of treatment.

Message on Romans 8:1-4

Here is my message from Romans. I believe that it is impossible to underestimate the importance of this chapter in the life of a Christian. The Christian life can be a wonderful experience but the modern Christian has so quenched the power of this Holy Spirit, through sin, these wonderful benefits are far from them. Enjoy.

An interesting concept....

Should the Last Phrase of Romans 8:1 Be Included?

This actually is a very relevant question because of the absolute importance of this verse to the book of Romans. This verse is a pivotal turning point in the book and the center line of the major point of Paul's work. To change this verse would be to turn the meaning of the book on it's head. Below is a interesting article that makes a good case for the importance of keeping "Who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit" in Romans 8:1. I am going to preach on this verse this weekend so there is more to come on this.

The following is found here.

Romans 8:1 - "who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit"

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

The phrase "who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit" appears in verses one and four. Most scholars consider this a special type of scribal error calleddittography, which is the repetition of a letter, syllable, word, or phrase. The thought is that a scribe accidentally copied the phrase from verse four in verse one, and that the textual error repeated itself in later manuscripts. Scribal errors do occur as is testified in the large amount of variants within the textual witnesses. However, just because a word or phrase is repeated does not mean that a scribal error has occurred.

The Greek phrase me kata sarka peripatousin alla kata penuma (who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit) is supported by the vast majority of Greek manuscripts. Among them are 33, 88, 104, 181, 326, 330, 451, 614, 630, 1241, 1877, 1962, 1984, 1985, 2492, and 2495. These date from the eleventh to the fifteenth century. The phrase is also included in Codex K (ninth century), Codex P (ninth century), and stands in the margin of Codex Sinaiticus. This is also the reading of the majority of Greek lectionaries. Early versions that contain the phrase include some Old Latin manuscripts (such as ar and o), the Syriac Harclean version, and the Georgian version. Another textual variant that contains part of the phrase reads me kata sarka peripatousin (who walk not after the flesh). This is the reading found in Codex A, Codex D06, Codex, Y, and several minuscules (such as 81, 256, 263, 365, 629, 1319, 1573, 1852, and 2127). It is also the reading of the Latin Vulgate (fourth century [1] ), and the Old Syriac Peshitta. The reading in part or in whole has massive and ancient textual support.

The whole verse is cited, with the phrase in question, by Theodoret (466 AD), Ps-Oecumenius (tenth century), and Theophylact (1077 AD). We also have partial citation of the verse by Basil (379 AD). He writes:

And after he has developed more fully the idea that it is impossible for one who is in the power of sin to serve the Lord, he plainly states who it is that redeems us from such a tyrannical dominion in the words: "Unhappy man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I give thanks to God through Jesus Christ, our Lord." Further on, he adds: "There is now, therefore, no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh." ^[2]

When the phrase is not included it creates a possible doctrinal error. To say there is no condemnation of any kind to all who are in Christ Jesus is to overlook the whole of Scripture. We are told that it is very possible for those who are in Christ to suffer some condemnation, albeit not eternal condemnation. The Christian who walks after the flesh instead of the leading of the Spirit produces works of wood, hay and stubble (1 Corinthians 3:12). Everyone's works will be tried so as by fire. Fleshly works will be burned and spiritual works will endure. We are told, "If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved, yet so as by fire." (1 Corinthians 3:15). Therefore, worldly Christians face a certain amount of condemnation.

We must remember that the word condemnation not only carries the meaning of judgment, but also of disapproval. [3] John informs his "little children" that the heart of the believer is able to pass such condemnation or disapproval on our Christian living (1 John 3:20-21). Not only is there a judgment for believers who stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ (1 Corinthians 3:12-15; 2 Corinthians 5:9-10), but there can also be a judgment on believers that may cost them their lives if they continue in sin (Acts 5:1-10; 1 John 5:16). Biblically speaking, there is condemnation for believers who walk after the flesh and not after the Spirit. Consequently, the phrase at the end of Romans 8:1 is theologically sound.

[3] The context of Romans 8 teaches us that faithful Christians are to walk after the Spirit and not after the flesh. The Christian is in a constant battle between the Spirit and the flesh (Galatians 5:16-18). There is no condemnation for the Believer who is following the Holy Spirit. However, there is condemnation for those who do not follow the leading of the Spirit, but seek to follow their own flesh.
