“I think that you are on the right track and I do not disagree with any of your thoughts. In my mind the tree at Christmas is simply decoration and really without spiritual significance.”

Christmas “Tree”

In olden times The Turkey was never eaten as it was a creature not to be touched by the saved people. Now that Peter was given the vision that God has cleansed or poured out of his spirit on all flash, the birds are safe to eat.
Acts 10:1-16, 19-20, 25-38 9On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: 10And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,11And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:12Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.13And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.14But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.15And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.16This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
19While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee. 20Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
25And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.26But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.27And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.28And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath showed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.29Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?30And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,31And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.32Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.33Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.34Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: 35But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.36The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)37That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;38How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.39And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:40Him God raised up the third day, and showed him openly;41Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.42And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.43To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.44While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. 45And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.46For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,47Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?48And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
So now in essence the serving Turkey on Thanks giving is providing a sacrifice concerning the year; for thanking God for a good year. The Turkey is plucked, seasoned, cooked, and seasoned again. Quite dead. ready to eat.
Now we get to the Christmas tree: Though the Bible says worshipping trees is an unclean thing, so is worshiping the Turkeys. Deuteronomy 7:5-7 (KJV)5But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.6For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.7The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:
Romans 1:22-24 (KJV) 22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,23And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves
We should not consider the tree something to worship. Rather it is a Beautiful thing that we are sacrificing to God in thanks for keeping us thus far through the winter. The Tree is dying, and there is no bringing it back. Dress it a little and make it look like it would in the snow. Pretty. Burn it and/or toss it when your done making full use of it. Some people never kill them, they keep them planted for next year. Others never even use a real tree, its a fake one. Whatever God Lays on your heart to do with the Sacrifice-Display.
Hebrews 9: 11-12 (KJV) 11But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;12Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
Acts 24:15-17 (KJV) 15And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.16And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.17Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings.
So Long as its to the Holy One of Israel, giving Thanks in Jesus name, using Christ's mass, using His Holy Name, not just declaring it as just a holiday (we have tons of those). But wishing the vessel of Jesus a Happy Birthday. Its the Spirit of God at work.
Acts 3 (KJV) 14But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;15And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses. Colossians 3:17 (KJV) 17And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Luke 2:11-20 (KJV) 11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.12And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
Matthew 1:21-24 (KJV)21And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.22Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,23Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.24Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:25And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
Granted if your not giving thanks to the Father-the Spirit- by Jesus name your are then worshiping idols.
1 Corinthians 10:20 (KJV) 20But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
So Christmas is the time of Joy and as is always all year around for any Christian a time to offer to share the best you can come up with.
To describe each how people are in the Vine and Tree of Christ- Pastor Thomas gave us the "I am" Statements and told us some of the verses that Correlated with them. I found each verse given and pasted it next to its Statement. Merry Christmas.
Scripture(s) first
Statement Second
Mat 5:13 ¶ Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

Jhn 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
Jhn 15:5 I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
I am a part of the true vine, a channel of Christ's life!

I am united to the Lord and am one spirit with him!
1Co 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. Eph 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
I am a member of Christ's body!
2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. I am a new creation! 2Co 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 2Co 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. I am reconciled to God and am a minister of reconciliation! Ga 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. Ga 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
I am a son of God and one in Christ!
Ga 4:6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Ga 4:7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
I am an heir of God since I am a son of God!
1Co 1:2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours: Eph 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus: Php 1:1 Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons: Col 1:2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Eph 3:1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
Eph 4:1 ¶ I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, I am a prisoner of Christ! Eph 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
I am righteous and holy!
Eph 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: Php 3:20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: I am a citizen of heaven, seated in the heavenly with Christ right now! Col 3:3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. I am hidden with Christ in God! Col 3:4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
I am the expression of the life of Christ because he is my life!
Col 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 1Th 1:4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.

I am one of God's living stones, being built up in Christ as a spiritual house! 1Pe 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 1Pe 2:10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. I am a member of a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession! 1Pe 2:11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; I am an alien and stranger to this world in which I temporarily live! 1Pe 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: I am an enemy of the devil! 1Jo 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 1Jo 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
I am a child of God and I will resemble Christ when he returns!

ISRAEL MY GLORY. DISCUSSES WHAT THE MUSLIMS BELIEVE ABOUT JESUS. SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER: 2009 PP 22-23
CHRISTMAS AND X-MAS
The Common knowledge and purpose of X-Mas is that: 1) It uses uses less Ink. Takes less time to write. and 2) False: God the Father does not like his name used or has refused to give us his personal name.
This Means X-mas is the lazy way of Saying Jesus' Birthday. And the Majority of Civilizations' people are as of 2008 getting very lazy.
We Could go into a Godhead Bible study. Or we could use an adjustment in understanding God the Fathers name.
First a glance at the Old testament.
Jah, Psa 68:4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
Jehovah,Exd 6:3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by [the name of] God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
Malchisedek Psa 110:2 The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
Psa 110:3 Thy people [shall be] willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
Psa 110:4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Isa 9:7 Of the increase of [his] government and peace [there shall be] no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
Now a Look at the new testament
Not to destroy the law but to fulfil. Mat 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Mat 5:17 ¶ Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Melchezek King os Salem, forever
Hbr 5:1 ¶ For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things [pertaining] to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
Hbr 5:2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
Hbr 5:3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
Hbr 5:4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as [was] Aaron.
Hbr 5:5 ¶ So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
Hbr 5:6 As he saith also in another [place], Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
Hbr 5:7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
Hbr 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
That at the name of Jesus
Phl 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
Phl 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth;
Phl 2:11 And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
inherited a better name Hbr 1:1 ¶ God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Hbr 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Hbr 1:3 Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Hbr 1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
Hbr 1:5 ¶ For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
Hbr 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
All power is given me
Matthew 28:19 Mat 28:17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.
Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue [that] shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This [is] the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness [is] of me, saith the LORD.
So this is reason number 1 the Muslims are weapons are failing. Reason number two is Charity: the Muslims have Faith, the Muslims have knowledge, and have shared it without reserve over time. Yet their poor increase in number, while ours increase in strength. Ours need to approach things from a different Angle. If Civilization is seeking to decrease the numbers of the Poor there needs to be a new brainwashing tenchnique. One that Employees the tools of the information age. Napoleon Hill said:
As a result of these three gathered pieces of information the correct provision for enlightening the greater Portion of Mankind can start where it left off in the early 1990's. The Internet. A Conservative in charge of a series of liberals was not a bad idea. The years of 2000's will prove wether civilization can provide the right information in the right way. And the Right Hand the Lord must provide it. We must accept Jesus information. The Arabs Gave us information. In the name of Charity. In the Name of Charity the time has come to Provide the Poor People of the Arab world the right to look at life through the Eyes of Jesus. John 13:34, Rom 8:38-39
The Korans instructors are telling People Jesus is just another type of prophet.
As a result it is safe and easy to say them that are doing this have supported a Holy War against Jesus and his disciples. His Disciples say Jesus is and always will be Lord of All. Viz:
There for there is a difference of Opinion about Who Jesus is.
Them that are of the Liberal Press have deliberately Joined forces with the Arabs who are Muslims. But they did not count on the Right Hand of God overcoming their little plots of Treachery. The Congress is making good decisions and bad ones. Its trying to keep our Keel under the water. The President is trying to keep our Guns focused on the real enemy.
The Place of Gods people is clear. Even Peter had to learn it. Many Gentiles are trying to follow Jesus. And for them that do the Jews are to treat them as equal:
“Galatians 2:11-12 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
When James came, he sat and ate with him. But when some Jews came, he said, "You guys stay here; I'm going to go eat with the Jews." Peter had already received a vision from God teaching that he should call no man common or unclean, but he had started to fall back on his own self-righteousness.”
So now it is clear.
Pat Mahoney made a statement:"
Pastor Davis used to say quite often that the best testimony is the one that's lived. I think about religion and the impact it's had, especially on the Western world where I live. They look at God as being created after Man's image, for his own purposes, such as control of the lower classes. When people see a testimony, it makes a difference. It made a difference to me when I met people who went to church and lived a testimony away from church, even when they didn't think you were listening.
This isn't how to become a pastor; this isn't the training course. So if you missed last week's study, don't worry; you're not going to miss out on a certificate on that account.
Accountability Subject to giving account; being answerable to; responsible Pastors are responsible for something more than a job. It's kind-of like a job, but it's not something they can take vacation from. It's a seven-days-a-week, twenty-four-hours-a-day obligation. The accountability is positive, from a desire to serve, not negative, from God's pointing finger. The accountability is something that pastors take on gladly, out of a desire to shepherd and feed the flock of God.
1 Peter 4:1-5 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you: Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
So pastors are going to give account to God, having a higher standard to live up to. They should be blameless in all of the things that the world considers to be normal and ordinary: they are not idolators or drunkards or rioters. They live a life that has been cleansed.
A: Pastors answer to God, not to the congregation
Let's look at the commission that applies to all of us, but especially to pastors, who are solidly committed to admonish the congregation. That's why we sit before them on Sunday mornings.
Ezekiel 33:1-7 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.”
These two last quotes can be found at:

Many Jews have accepted this and need General Christian support. Jesus came to bring all peoples Healing Power in 7 different aspects: "Healing power of Love Healing power of Truth Healing power of Life Healing power of Mind Healing power of Principle Healing power of Soul Healing power of Spirit
Love is everpresent and Universal."

Rom 2:29 But he [is] a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision [is that] of the heart, in the spirit, [and] not in the letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of God.
Mar 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Its up to the Christian to share it. There is plenty of verses that say Christmas is a 24-7 kind of thing.
CHRISTMAS AND X-MAS By Scott Skinner
The Common knowledge and purpose of X-Mas is that: 1)It uses uses less Ink. 2)Takes less time to write.
and
3) False: God the Father does not like his name used or has refused to give us his personal name.
We will examine the letters JE wich always refer to the manifestation of God the father. This Means X-mas is the lazy way of Saying Jesus' Birthday. And the Majority of Civilizations' people are as of 2008 getting very lazy.
We Could go into a Godhead Bible study. Or we could use an adjustment in understanding God the Fathers name.
First a glance at the Old testament. Notice Jah:
Psa 68:4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
Jehovah,Exd 6:3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by [the name of] God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
Malchisedek Psa 110:2 The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
Psa 110:3 Thy people [shall be] willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
Psa 110:4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
Isa 9:7 Of the increase of [his] government and peace [there shall be] no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

So from the above we can see there was two ways to spell God according to The old testament. The pronunciation was same. Yah. And a new name would be given.
Now a Look at the new testament
Not to destroy the law but to fulfil.
Mat 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Mat 5:17 ¶ Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Melchezek King of Salem, forever
Hbr 5:1 ¶ For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things [pertaining] to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
Hbr 5:2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
Hbr 5:3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
Hbr 5:4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as [was] Aaron.
Hbr 5:5 ¶ So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
Hbr 5:6 As he saith also in another [place], Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
Hbr 5:7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
Hbr 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
That at the name of Jesus
Phl 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
Phl 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth;
Phl 2:11 And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
inherited a better name Hbr 1:1 ¶ God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Hbr 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Hbr 1:3 Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Hbr 1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
Hbr 1:5 ¶ For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
Hbr 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
All power is given me
Matthew 28:19 Mat 28:17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.
No weapon formed agianst Christ or his people shall prosper.
Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue [that] shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This [is] the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness [is] of me, saith the LORD.
So this is reason number 1 the Muslims as weapons are failing. Reason number two is Charity: the Muslims have Faith, the Muslims have knowledge, and have shared it without reserve over time. Yet their poor increase in number, while ours increase in strength. Ours need to approach things from a different Angle. If Civilization is seeking to decrease the numbers of the Poor there needs to be a new brainwashing technique. The old one is not working. The New one should be one that Employees the tools of the information age. Napoleon Hill said:
December 3, 2009 REMEMBER THAT THE FAULTS OF HUMANKIND ARE PRETTY EVENLY DISTRIBUTED AMONG ALL OF US. Why can we so easily overlook in ourselves the faults we are quick to spot in others? It is easy to be objective when it comes to criticizing our friends, family members, and business associates, but it is far more difficult to be honest about our own shortcomings. Only when we recognize that we are all human, with the same faults and failings, do we begin to develop that wonderful quality of tolerance that enables us to accept others as they are and ask nothing in return. Replacing faultfinding with "goodfinding" is never easy. But when you become one who always compliments instead of criticizes, you become the kind of friend we would all like to have.
As a result of these three gathered pieces of information the correct provision for enlightening the greater Portion of Mankind can start where it left off in the early 1990's. The Internet. A Conservative in charge of a series of liberals was not a bad idea. The years of 2000's will prove wether civilization can provide the right information in the right way. And the Right Hand the Lord must provide it. We must accept Jesus information. The Arabs Gave us information. In the name of Charity. In the Name of Charity the time has come to Provide the Poor People of the Arab world the right to look at life through the Eyes of Jesus. John 13:34, Rom 8:38-39
The Korans instructors are telling People Jesus is just another type of prophet. They are also saying:
1.Is a created human being and is not eternal (Surah 3:59).
2.ls not the Lamb of God who was slain (Surah 4:157).
3.Will not return untilJudgment Day (Surah 43:61).
Prophesied of but did not send Muhammad or the Holy Spirit (al-Saff 61:6).
Is not involved in salvation, which is found only in the Five Pillars of Islam (Surah 4:124; 9:20-22).
ls an involuntory slave to Allah (Hadith: Narrated Anas, 009.093.532, Volume 9, Book 93, Number 507).
Was never crucified and therefore was never resurrected (al-Nisaa' :1 57-1 58).
Is not God in the flesh or the Son of God (al-Maa'idah 5:72-73;Maryam l9:34-38, 88-93; Surah 4:171).
9.Cannot be worshiped (Surah al-Maa'idah 5:116).
11.Is simply another prophet (Surah 2.136, 2.84).
Returns in yellow garments (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 37, Number 4310).
Lands on a minaret in Damascus, Syria.r Destroys the Antichrist and exterminates the Jewish people and Christianity.2
15.Was never pierced (Surah 4.157).
16.Will Marry a W'oman and have children.3
17.Willl break every cross (Mustadrak Hakim).a
As a result it is safe and easy to say them that are doing this have supported a Holy War against Jesus and his disciples. His Disciples say Jesus is and always will be Lord of All. Viz: Jesus is among other things:
1.the eternal Creator of everything: Micah 5:2; Col. 1:16-17 Mic 5:2 ¶ But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, [though] thou be little among the thousands of Judah, [yet] out of thee shall he come forth unto me [that is] to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth [have been] from of old, from everlasting.
Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Col 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
2.the Lamb of God. Jn 1:29 Jhn 1:29 ¶ The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Act 9:2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
Act 9:3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
Act 9:4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
Act 9:5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: [it is] hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
Act 9:6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord [said] unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
4.Sent the Holy Spirit (Comfortor) who came 50 days later not 300 years later. (Muhamed was not born until 570 AD).
Act 2:1 ¶ And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
Act 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
Act 2:3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
Act 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5.Salvation is found in no one but Jesus. (Acts 4:12, Romans 10:9
Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved
Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. ).
6.Made himself himself a voluntary Servant (Pilippians 2:6-8). hl 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
Phl 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
Phl 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
7.By his death and resurrection saves people from their sins (Jn 11:25, 1 Cor 15:14-20).
Jhn 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 1Cr 15:14 And if Christ be not risen, then [is] our preaching vain, and your faith [is] also vain.
1Cr 15:15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
1Cr 15:16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
1Cr 15:17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith [is] vain; ye are yet in your sins.
1Cr 15:18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
1Cr 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
1Cr 15:20 ¶ But now is Christ risen from the dead, [and] become the firstfruits of them that slept.
8.Is the son of God the word made fleshwho dwelt among us (Jn 1:14 Jn 3:16).
Jhn 1:14 ¶ And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. Jhn 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
9.It is commanded that he be worshipped (Phillipians 2:9-11).
Phl 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
Phl 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth;
Phl 2:11 And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
10.Is the only Mediator between God and Man (1Tim 2:5, Heb 8:6).
1Ti 2:5 For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
Hbr 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
11.Is the name above all names (Eph 1:21).
Eph 1:21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
12.Returns arrayed in white ( Dan 7:9, Rev 1:15-15) Dan 7:9 ¶ I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment [was] white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne [was like] the fiery flame, [and] his wheels [as] burning fire.
Rev 1:15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
13.Returns to Jerusalem and stands on the mount of Olives(Zech 14:4; Acts 1:11)
Zec 14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which [is] before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, [and there shall be] a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
Act 1:11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
14.Destroys the Anti Christ and rescues the Jewish people (Zech 12:2,
2Th 2:8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.
, Rev. 19:15, 20-21). Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. Rev 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Rev 19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which [sword] proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
Zec 12:2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah [and] against Jerusalem.
15.Was Pierced for our transgressions (Isa 53:5, Zech 12:10).
Isa 53:5 But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Zec 12:10 ¶ And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for [his] only [son], and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for [his] firstborn.
16.Will Marry his Bride (the Church) at the Marriage support of the Lamb. (Rev 19:7)
Rev 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
17.Breaks every curse of sin and death (Isa 53:6, Gal 3:12 Rev 22:3). Rev 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
Isa 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Gal 3:12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
Rev 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
18.Is alive for every more (Heb 7:24; Rev 1:18).
Hbr 7:24 But this [man], because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.

Emir Caner. Israel my Glory. September-October. pp22-23
Many Jews have accepted all this and need General Christian support. They can safely be called Christian Jews or Jews inwardly.
Rom 2:29 But he [is] a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision [is that] of the heart, in the spirit, [and] not in the letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of God.
From the above it is obvious that in the world there is a difference of Opinion about Who Jesus is.
Them that are of the Liberal Press have deliberately Joined forces with the Arabs who are Muslims. But they did not count on the Right Hand of God overcoming their little plots of Treachery. The Congress is making good decisions and bad ones. Its trying to keep our Keel under the water. The President is trying to keep our Guns focused on the real enemy.
The Place of Gods people is clear. Even Peter had to learn it. The Jews are to treat all men as equal and visa versa:
“Galatians 2:11-12 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
When James came, he sat and ate with him. But when some Jews came, he said, "You guys stay here; I'm going to go eat with the Jews." Peter had already received a vision from God teaching that he should call no man common or unclean, but he had started to fall back on his own self-righteousness.”
So now it is clear:
“Pastor Davis used to say quite often that the best testimony is the one that's lived. I think about religion and the impact it's had, especially on the Western world where I live. They look at God as being created after Man's image, for his own purposes, such as control of the lower classes. When people see a testimony, it makes a difference. It made a difference to me when I met people who went to church and lived a testimony away from church, even when they didn't think you were listening.
Pastorship, part 2 of 3
This isn't how to become a pastor; this isn't the training course. So if you missed last week's study, don't worry; you're not going to miss out on a certificate on that account.
Accountability Subject to giving account; being answerable to; responsible Pastors are responsible for something more than a job. It's kind-of like a job, but it's not something they can take vacation from. It's a seven-days-a-week, twenty-four-hours-a-day obligation. The accountability is positive, from a desire to serve, not negative, from God's pointing finger. The accountability is something that pastors take on gladly, out of a desire to shepherd and feed the flock of God.
1 Peter 4:1-5 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you: Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
So pastors are going to give account to God, having a higher standard to live up to. They should be blameless in all of the things that the world considers to be normal and ordinary: they are not idolators or drunkards or rioters. They live a life that has been cleansed.
A: Pastors answer to God, not to the congregation
Let's look at the commission that applies to all of us, but especially to pastors, who are solidly committed to admonish the congregation. That's why we sit before them on Sunday mornings.
Ezekiel 33:1-7 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.”

Jesus came to bring all peoples Healing Power in 7 different aspects:
Healing power of Love
Healing power of Truth
Healing power of Life
Healing power of Mind
Healing power of Principle
Healing power of Soul
Healing power of Spirit
Love is everpresent and Universal.

Mar 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Its up to the Christian to share it. There is plenty of verses that say Christmas is a 24-7 kind of thing.
CHRISTMAS AND X-MAS By Scott Skinner
The Common knowledge and purpose of X-Mas is that: 1) It uses uses less Ink. Takes less time to write.
and
2) False: God the Father does not like his name used or has refused to give us his personal name.
This Means X-mas is the lazy way of Saying Jesus' Birthday. And the Majority of Civilizations' people are as of 2008 getting very lazy.
We Could go into a Godhead Bible study. Or we could use an adjustment in understanding God the Fathers name.
First a glance at the Old testament. Notice Jah,
Psa 68:4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
Jehovah,Exd 6:3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by [the name of] God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
Malchisedek Psa 110:2 The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
Psa 110:3 Thy people [shall be] willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
Psa 110:4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Isa 9:7 Of the increase of [his] government and peace [there shall be] no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

Not to destroy the law but to fulfil.
Mat 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Mat 5:17 ¶ Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Melchezek King os Salem, forever
Hbr 5:1 ¶ For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things [pertaining] to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
Hbr 5:2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
Hbr 5:3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
Hbr 5:4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as [was] Aaron.
Hbr 5:5 ¶ So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
Hbr 5:6 As he saith also in another [place], Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
Hbr 5:7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
Hbr 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
That at the name of Jesus
Phl 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
Phl 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth;
Phl 2:11 And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Hbr 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Hbr 1:3 Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Hbr 1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
Hbr 1:5 ¶ For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
Hbr 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
All power is given me

So this is reason number 1 the Muslims as weapons are failing. Reason number two is Charity: the Muslims have Faith, the Muslims have knowledge, and have shared it without reserve over time. Yet their poor increase in number, while ours increase in strength. Ours need to approach things from a different Angle. If Civilization is seeking to decrease the numbers of the Poor there needs to be a new brainwashing technique. One that Employees the tools of the information age. Napoleon Hill said:
December 3, 2009 REMEMBER THAT THE FAULTS OF HUMANKIND ARE PRETTY EVENLY DISTRIBUTED AMONG ALL OF US. Why can we so easily overlook in ourselves the faults we are quick to spot in others? It is easy to be objective when it comes to criticizing our friends, family members, and business associates, but it is far more difficult to be honest about our own shortcomings. Only when we recognize that we are all human, with the same faults and failings, do we begin to develop that wonderful quality of tolerance that enables us to accept others as they are and ask nothing in return. Replacing faultfinding with "goodfinding" is never easy. But when you become one who always compliments instead of criticizes, you become the kind of friend we would all like to have.
As a result of these three gathered pieces of information the correct provision for enlightening the greater Portion of Mankind can start where it left off in the early 1990's. The Internet. A Conservative in charge of a series of liberals was not a bad idea. The years of 2000's will prove wether civilization can provide the right information in the right way. And the Right Hand the Lord must provide it. We must accept Jesus information. The Arabs Gave us information. In the name of Charity. In the Name of Charity the time has come to Provide the Poor People of the Arab world the right to look at life through the Eyes of Jesus. John 13:34, Rom 8:38-39
The Korans instructors are telling People Jesus is just another type of prophet. They are also saying:
As a result it is safe and easy to say them that are doing this have supported a Holy War against Jesus and his disciples. His Disciples say Jesus is and always will be Lord of All. Viz: Jesus is among other things:
2.the Lamb of God. Jn 1:29
3.appeared to Saul (apostle Paul) after his ascension. (Acts 9:5)
4.Sent the Holy Spirit (Comfortor) who came 50 days later not 300 years later. (Muhamed was not born until 570 AD).
5.Salvation is found in no one but Jesus. (Acts 4:12, Romans 10:9).
6.Made himself himself a voluntary Servant (Pilippians 2:6-8).
7.By his death and resurrection saves people from their sins (Jn 11:25 1 Cor 15:14-20).
8.Is the son of God the word made fleshwho dwelt among us (Jn 1:14 Jn 3:16).
9.It is commanded that he be worshipped (Phillipians 2:9-11).
10.Is the only Mediator between God and Man (1Tim 2:5, Heb 8:6).
11.Is the name above all names Eph 1:21).
12.Returns arrayed I white (Dan 7: Rev 1:15-15)
13.Returns to Jerusalem and stands on the mount of Olives(Zech 14:4; Acts 1:11)
14.Destroys the Anti Christ and rescues the Jewish people (Zech 12:2, Thess 2:8, Rev. 19:15, 20-21).
15.Was Pierced for our transgressions (Isa 53:5, Zech 12:10).
17.Breaks every curse of sin and death (Isa 53:6, Gal 3:12 Rev 22:3).
Many Jews have accepted this and need General Christian support. They can safely be called Christian Jews or Jews inwardly.
From the above it is obvious that in the world there is a difference of Opinion about Who Jesus is.
Them that are of the Liberal Press have deliberately Joined forces with the Arabs who are Muslims. But they did not count on the Right Hand of God overcoming their little plots of Treachery. The Congress is making good decisions and bad ones. Its trying to keep our Keel under the water. The President is trying to keep our Guns focused on the real enemy.
The Place of Gods people is clear. Even Peter had to learn it. Many Gentiles are trying to follow Jesus. And for them that do the Jews are to treat them as equal:
“Galatians 2:11-12 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
When James came, he sat and ate with him. But when some Jews came, he said, "You guys stay here; I'm going to go eat with the Jews." Peter had already received a vision from God teaching that he should call no man common or unclean, but he had started to fall back on his own self-righteousness.”
So now it is clear: “Pat Mahoney
Pastor Davis used to say quite often that the best testimony is the one that's lived. I think about religion and the impact it's had, especially on the Western world where I live. They look at God as being created after Man's image, for his own purposes, such as control of the lower classes. When people see a testimony, it makes a difference. It made a difference to me when I met people who went to church and lived a testimony away from church, even when they didn't think you were listening.
Pastorship, part 2 of 3
This isn't how to become a pastor; this isn't the training course. So if you missed last week's study, don't worry; you're not going to miss out on a certificate on that account.
Accountability Subject to giving account; being answerable to; responsible Pastors are responsible for something more than a job. It's kind-of like a job, but it's not something they can take vacation from. It's a seven-days-a-week, twenty-four-hours-a-day obligation. The accountability is positive, from a desire to serve, not negative, from God's pointing finger. The accountability is something that pastors take on gladly, out of a desire to shepherd and feed the flock of God.
1 Peter 4:1-5 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you: Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
So pastors are going to give account to God, having a higher standard to live up to. They should be blameless in all of the things that the world considers to be normal and ordinary: they are not idolators or drunkards or rioters. They live a life that has been cleansed.
A: Pastors answer to God, not to the congregation
Let's look at the commission that applies to all of us, but especially to pastors, who are solidly committed to admonish the congregation. That's why we sit before them on Sunday mornings.
Ezekiel 33:1-7 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.”

CHRISTMAS AND X-MAS By Scott Skinner
The Common knowledge and purpose of X-Mas is that: 1) It uses uses less Ink. Takes less time to write.
and
2) False: God the Father does not like his name used or has refused to give us his personal name.
This Means X-mas is the lazy way of Saying Jesus' Birthday. And the Majority of Civilizations' people are as of 2008 getting very lazy.
We Could go into a Godhead Bible study. Or we could use an adjustment in understanding God the Fathers name.
First a glance at the Old testament. Notice Jah,
Psa 68:4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
Jehovah,Exd 6:3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by [the name of] God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
Malchisedek Psa 110:2 The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
Psa 110:3 Thy people [shall be] willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
Psa 110:4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Isa 9:7 Of the increase of [his] government and peace [there shall be] no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

So from the above we can see there was two ways to spell God according to The old testament. The pronunciation was same. Yah. And a new name would be given.
Now a Look at the new testament
Not to destroy the law but to fulfil.
Mat 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Mat 5:17 ¶ Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Melchezedek King os Salem, forever
Hbr 5:1 ¶ For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things [pertaining] to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
Hbr 5:2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
Hbr 5:3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
Hbr 5:4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as [was] Aaron.
Hbr 5:5 ¶ So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
Hbr 5:6 As he saith also in another [place], Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
Hbr 5:7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
Hbr 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
That at the name of Jesus
Phl 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
Phl 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth;
Phl 2:11 And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
inherited a better name Hbr 1:1 ¶ God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Hbr 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Hbr 1:3 Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Hbr 1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
Hbr 1:5 ¶ For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
Hbr 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
All power is given me
Matthew 28:19 Mat 28:17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

So from the above we can see there was two ways to spell God according to The old testament. The pronunciation was same. Yah. And a new name would be given.
Now a Look at the new testament
Not to destroy the law but to fulfil.
Mat 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Mat 5:17 ¶ Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Melchezedek King os Salem, forever
Hbr 5:1 ¶ For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things [pertaining] to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
Hbr 5:2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
Hbr 5:3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
Hbr 5:4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as [was] Aaron.
Hbr 5:5 ¶ So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
Hbr 5:6 As he saith also in another [place], Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
Hbr 5:7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
Hbr 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
That at the name of Jesus
Phl 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
Phl 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth;
Phl 2:11 And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
inherited a better name Hbr 1:1 ¶ God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Hbr 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Hbr 1:3 Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Hbr 1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
Hbr 1:5 ¶ For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
Hbr 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
All power is given me
Matthew 28:19 Mat 28:17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.
No weapon formed agianst Christ or his people shall prosper.
Isa 54:17Isa 54:17 Isa 54:17 NoIsa 54:17 No Isa 54:17 No weaponIsa 54:17 No weapon that is Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formedIsa 54:17 No weapon that is formed Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed againstIsa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against theeIsa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue [that] shall rise Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue [that] shall rise againstIsa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue [that] shall rise against Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue [that] shall rise against theeIsa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue [that] shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This [is] the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness [is] of me, saith the LORD.
So this is reason number 1 the Muslims as weapons are failing. Reason number two is Charity: the Muslims have Faith, the Muslims have knowledge, and have shared it without reserve over time. Yet their poor increase in number, while ours increase in strength. Ours need to approach things from a different Angle. If Civilization is seeking to decrease the numbers of the Poor there needs to be a new brainwashing technique. One that Employees the tools of the information age. Napoleon Hill said:
December 3, 2009 REMEMBER THAT THE FAULTS OF HUMANKIND ARE PRETTY EVENLY DISTRIBUTED AMONG ALL OF US. Why can we so easily overlook in ourselves the faults we are quick to spot in others? It is easy to be objective when it comes to criticizing our friends, family members, and business associates, but it is far more difficult to be honest about our own shortcomings. Only when we recognize that we are all human, with the same faults and failings, do we begin to develop that wonderful quality of tolerance that enables us to accept others as they are and ask nothing in return. Replacing faultfinding with "goodfinding" is never easy. But when you become one who always compliments instead of criticizes, you become the kind of friend we would all like to have.
As a result of these three gathered pieces of information the correct provision for enlightening the greater Portion of Mankind can start where it left off in the early 1990's. The Internet. A Conservative in charge of a series of liberals was not a bad idea. The years of 2000's will prove wether civilization can provide the right information in the right way. And the Right Hand the Lord must provide it. We must accept Jesus information. The Arabs Gave us information. In the name of Charity. In the Name of Charity the time has come to Provide the Poor People of the Arab world the right to look at life through the Eyes of Jesus. John 13:34, Rom 8:38-39
The Korans instructors are telling People Jesus is just another type of prophet. They are also saying:
Is a created human being and is not eternal (Surah 3:59). ls not the Lamb of God who was slain (Surah 4:157). Will not return untilJudgment Day (Surah 43:61). Prophesied of but did not send Muhammad or the Holy Spirit (al-Saff 61:6). Is not involved in salvation, which is found only in the Five Pillars of Islam (Surah 4:124; 9:20-22). ls an inuoluntory slave to Allah (Hadith: Narrated Anas, 009.093.532, Volume 9, Book 93, Number 507). Was never crucified and therefore was never resurrected (al-Nisaa' :1 57-1 58). Is not God in the flesh or the Son of God (al-Maa'idah 5:72-73;Maryam l9:34-38, 88-93; Surah 4:171). Cannot be worshiped (Surah al-Maa'idah 5:116). Not fit to be an intercessor (Hadith Vol. 9, Book 93, Number 507). Is simply another prophet (Surah 2.136, 2.84). Returns in yellow garments (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 37, Number 4310). Lands on a minaret in Damascus, Syria.r Destroys the Antichrist and exterminates the Jewish people and Christianity.2 Was never pierced (Surah 4.157). 16.Will Marry a W'oman and have children.3 17.Willl break every cross (Mustadrak Hakim).a Will die 40 years after his return (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 37, Number 43101.t As a result it is safe and easy to say them that are doing this have supported a Holy War against Jesus and his disciples. His Disciples say Jesus is and always will be Lord of All. Viz: Jesus is among other things:
the eternal Creator of everything: Micah 5:2; Col. 1:16-17 2.the Lamb of God. Jn 1:29
3.appeared to Saul (apostle Paul) after his ascension. (Acts 9:5)
4.Sent the Holy Spirit (Comfortor) who came 50 days later not 300 years later. (Muhamed was not born until 570 AD).
5.Salvation is found in no one but Jesus. (Acts 4:12, Romans 10:9).
6.Made himself himself a voluntary Servant (Pilippians 2:6-8).
7.By his death and resurrection saves people from their sins (Jn 11:25 1 Cor 15:14-20).
8.Is the son of God the word made fleshwho dwelt among us (Jn 1:14 Jn 3:16).
9.It is commanded that he be worshipped (Phillipians 2:9-11).
10.Is the only Mediator between God and Man (1Tim 2:5, Heb 8:6).
11.Is the name above all names Eph 1:21).
12.Returns arrayed I white (Dan 7: Rev 1:15-15)
13.Returns to Jerusalem and stands on the mount of Olives(Zech 14:4; Acts 1:11)
14.Destroys the Anti Christ and rescues the Jewish people (Zech 12:2, Thess 2:8, Rev. 19:15, 20-21).
15.Was Pierced for our transgressions (Isa 53:5, Zech 12:10).
Will Marry his Bride (the Church) at the Marriage support of the Lamb. (Rev 19:7) 17.Breaks every curse of sin and death (Isa 53:6, Gal 3:12 Rev 22:3).
Is alive for every more (Heb 7:24; Rev 1:18). Many Jews have accepted this and need General Christian support. They can safely be called Christian Jews or Jews inwardly.
From the above it is obvious that in the world there is a difference of Opinion about Who Jesus is.
Them that are of the Liberal Press have deliberately Joined forces with the Arabs who are Muslims. But they did not count on the Right Hand of God overcoming their little plots of Treachery. The Congress is making good decisions and bad ones. Its trying to keep our Keel under the water. The President is trying to keep our Guns focused on the real enemy.
The Place of Gods people is clear. Even Peter had to learn it. Many Gentiles are trying to follow Jesus. And for them that do the Jews are to treat them as equal:
“Galatians 2:11-12 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
When James came, he sat and ate with him. But when some Jews came, he said, "You guys stay here; I'm going to go eat with the Jews." Peter had already received a vision from God teaching that he should call no man common or unclean, but he had started to fall back on his own self-righteousness.”
So now it is clear: “Pat Mahoney
Pastor Davis used to say quite often that the best testimony is the one that's lived. I think about religion and the impact it's had, especially on the Western world where I live. They look at God as being created after Man's image, for his own purposes, such as control of the lower classes. When people see a testimony, it makes a difference. It made a difference to me when I met people who went to church and lived a testimony away from church, even when they didn't think you were listening.
Pastorship, part 2 of 3
This isn't how to become a pastor; this isn't the training course. So if you missed last week's study, don't worry; you're not going to miss out on a certificate on that account.
Pastors are Accountable to God Accountability Subject to giving account; being answerable to; responsible Pastors are responsible for something more than a job. It's kind-of like a job, but it's not something they can take vacation from. It's a seven-days-a-week, twenty-four-hours-a-day obligation. The accountability is positive, from a desire to serve, not negative, from God's pointing finger. The accountability is something that pastors take on gladly, out of a desire to shepherd and feed the flock of God.
1 Peter 4:1-5 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you: Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
So pastors are going to give account to God, having a higher standard to live up to. They should be blameless in all of the things that the world considers to be normal and ordinary: they are not idolators or drunkards or rioters. They live a life that has been cleansed.
A: Pastors answer to God, not to the congregation
Let's look at the commission that applies to all of us, but especially to pastors, who are solidly committed to admonish the congregation. That's why we sit before them on Sunday mornings.
Ezekiel 33:1-7 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.”

Rom 2:29 But he [is] a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision [is that] of the heart, in the spirit, [and] not in the letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of God.
Jesus came to bring all peoples Healing Power in 7 different aspects:
Healing power of Love
Healing power of Truth
Healing power of Life
Healing power of Mind
Healing power of Principle
Healing power of Soul
Healing power of Spirit
Love is everpresent and Universal.

Rom 2:29 But he [is] a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision [is that] of the heart, in the spirit, [and] not in the letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of God.
Mar 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Its up to the Christian to share it. There is plenty of verses that say Christmas is a 24-7 kind of thing.
CHRISTMAS AND X-MAS
Intro: This is a bit long winded. However I will do only one or two on Christmas this year (2009) in this Book, so take your time going through them. Here's number 1
The Common knowledge and purpose of the word “X-Mas” is that: 1) It uses uses less Ink and less space 2) Takes less time to write. and 3) False: God the Father does not like his name used or has refused to give us his personal name.
This Means X-mas is the lazy way of saying Jesus' Birthday. And the Majority of this Civilizations people WERE as of 2008 getting very lazy. Maybe that one reason we just went through a severe depression. And many might still be in that Depression.
We Could go into a Godhead Bible study. Or we could use an adjustment in understanding God the Fathers name. Lets just review the Holy Spirit and see if its claimed a name.
First a glance at the Old testament.
Jah, Psa 68:4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
Jehovah,Exd 6:3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by [the name of] God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
A glance at the Concordance actually tells us LORD is in Hebrew Pronounced Yeh. J is pronounced Y In the Old Testament: Strong's H3050 - Yahh יה Transliteration Yahh Pronunciation yä (Key) Part of Speech proper noun with reference to deity Root Word (Etymology) contraction for H3068, and meaning the same TWOT Reference 484b
Outline of Biblical Usage 1) Jah (Jehovah in the shortened form) a) the proper name of the one true God b) used in many compounds 1) names beginning with the letters 'Je' 2) names ending with 'iah' or 'jah'

Melchizedek: Psa 110:2 The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
Psa 110:3 Thy people [shall be] willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
Psa 110:4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
(More on Melchizedek in a moment.)
Full power of the name: Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Isa 9:7 Of the increase of [his] government and peace [there shall be] no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
Now a Look at the new testament
Not to destroy the law but to fulfil: Mat 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Mat 5:17 ¶ Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Melchizedek King of Salem, forever:
Hbr 5:1 ¶ For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things [pertaining] to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
Hbr 5:2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
Hbr 5:3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
Hbr 5:4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as [was] Aaron.
Hbr 5:5 ¶ So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
Hbr 5:6 As he saith also in another [place], Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
Hbr 7:1 ¶ For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
Hbr 7:2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
Hbr 7:3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.
That at the name of Jesus:
Phl 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
Phl 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth;
Phl 2:11 And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Inherited a better name Hbr 1:1 ¶ God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Hbr 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Hbr 1:3 Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Hbr 1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
Hbr 1:5 ¶ For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
Hbr 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
The name given by God: Mat 1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
Mat 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Mat 1:22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Mat 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
All power is given him
Matthew 28:19 Mat 28:17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Notice here the name Jesus is still used. There is no changing it. And the Below is explained by the earlier mentioned verse Isa 9:6
Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.
And should that be not enough:
Hbr 8:13 In that he saith, A new [covenant], he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old [is] ready to vanish away.
Hbr 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Hbr 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions [that were] under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
Hbr 9:16 ¶ For where a testament [is], there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
Hbr 9:17 For a testament [is] of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
Hbr 9:18 Whereupon neither the first [testament] was dedicated without blood.
Hbr 9:19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
Hbr 9:20 Saying, This [is] the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.
Now Jesus Words to the people regarding his annointed:
No weapon formed against thee shall prosper:
Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue [that] shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This [is] the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness [is] of me, saith the LORD.
So this is reason number 1 the Muslims are weapons are failing.
Reason number two is Charity: the Muslims have Faith, the Muslims have knowledge, and have shared it without reserve over time. Yet their poor increase in number, while ours increase in number and strength. Now ours need to approach things from a different Angle. If Civilization is seeking to decrease the numbers of the Poor there needs to be a new brainwashing tenchnique. The Old ways must be eliminated. This new one must employee the tools of the information age.
Napoleon Hill Foundation says:
BEFORE WORRYING ABOUT HOW TO GET MORE PAY, TRY THINKING HOW YOU CAN DO A BETTER JOB AND YOU MAY NOT NEED TO WORRY. When you devote your time and efforts to doing your best at every job you do, instead of developing persuasive arguments why you should be paid more for what you do, the pay raises will take care of themselves. When you approach every job enthusiastically in a spirit of friendly cooperation, you distinguish yourself from the vast majority of people whose primary concerns include breaks, benefits, paychecks, and quitting time. Don’t complain about your status or your pay to anyone, not even to your best friend. Word will eventually get back to the boss. Which type of worker would you rather have on your team: one who complains constantly or one who is always helpful, cheerful, and reliable? (October 9, 2009. www.naphill.org)
As a result of these three gathered pieces of information the correct provision for enlightening the greater Portion of Mankind can start where it left off in the early 1990's. The Internet. A Conservative in charge of a series of liberals was not a bad idea. The years of 2000's will prove wether civilization can provide the right information in the right way. And the Right Hand the Lord must provide it. We must accept Jesus information. The Arabs Gave us information. In the name of Charity. In return in the Name of Charity the time has come to Provide the Poor People of the Arab world the right to look at life through the Eyes of Jesus. John 13:34, Rom 8:38-39 The Korans instructors are telling People Jesus is just another type of prophet. Many are also saying:
Insert from Israel My Glory.
As a result it is safe and easy to say that directly or indirectly they have supported a Holy War against Jesus and his disciples. His Disciples say Jesus is and always will be Lord of All. Viz:
Insert Israel My Glory.
There-for there is a difference of Opinion about Who Jesus is.
Many of them that are of the Liberal Press have deliberately Joined forces with the Arabs who are Muslims. But they did not count on the Right Hand of God overcoming their little plots of Treachery. The Congress is making good decisions and bad ones. Its trying to keep our Keel under the water. The President is trying to keep our Guns focused on the real enemy.
The Reason there is no silencing the Muslim community in the USA is simple and realistic.
It is cited in the Constitution. For the following reason there should be no shut out of the Muslim Population in the USA. However there is and should be a physical peace between the Christains and Muslims. Keep em all alive. Let the Holy Ghost sort 'em out.
We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. {Declaration of Independence: Continental Congress of 1776.}
I - Freedom of Speech, Press, Religion and Petition Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.{Amendement #1 of the Constitution of the United States of America. Commonly known as the First Amendment rights.}
The Place of Gods people is clear. Even Peter had to learn it. Many Gentiles are trying to follow Jesus. And for them that do the Jews are to treat them as Spiritual equals:
Mat 9:10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
Mat 9:11 And when the Pharisees saw [it], they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
Mat 9:12 But when Jesus heard [that], he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
Mat 9:13 But go ye and learn what [that] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Exd 22:20 ¶ He that sacrificeth unto [any] god, save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.
Exd 22:21 ¶ Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Exd 22:22 ¶ Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
Exd 22:23 If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;
Exd 22:24 And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
“Galatians 2:11-12 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
When James came, he sat and ate with him. But when some Jews came, he said, "You guys stay here; I'm going to go eat with the Jews." Peter had already received a vision from God teaching that he should call no man common or unclean, but he had started to fall back on his own self-righteousness.”
So now it is clear and there are the annointed who must accept a leadership role. God will pick them not they themselves:
“Pastor Davis used to say quite often that the best testimony is the one that's lived. I think about religion and the impact it's had, especially on the Western world where I live. They look at God as being created after Man's image, for his own purposes, such as control of the lower classes. When people see a testimony, it makes a difference. It made a difference to me when I met people who went to church and lived a testimony away from church, even when they didn't think you were listening.
Pastorship, part 2 of 3
This isn't how to become a pastor; this isn't the training course. So if you missed last week's study, don't worry; you're not going to miss out on a certificate on that account.
Accountability Subject to giving account; being answerable to; responsible Pastors are responsible for something more than a job. It's kind-of like a job, but it's not something they can take vacation from. It's a seven-days-a-week, twenty-four-hours-a-day obligation. The accountability is positive, from a desire to serve, not negative, from God's pointing finger. The accountability is something that pastors take on gladly, out of a desire to shepherd and feed the flock of God.
1 Peter 4:1-5 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you: Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
So pastors are going to give account to God, having a higher standard to live up to. They should be blameless in all of the things that the world considers to be normal and ordinary: they are not idolators or drunkards or rioters. They live a life that has been cleansed.
A: Pastors answer to God, not to the congregation
Let's look at the commission that applies to all of us, but especially to pastors, who are solidly committed to admonish the congregation. That's why we sit before them on Sunday mornings.
Ezekiel 33:1-7 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.”

Many Jews have accepted this and need General Christian support. Jesus came to bring all peoples Healing Power in 7 different aspects: “Healing power of Love, Healing power of Truth, Healing power of Life, Healing power of Mind, Healing power of Principle, Healing power of Soul, Healing power of Spirit, Love is everpresent and Universal.” Zandra Johnson, 2009.

Rom 2:29 But he [is] a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision [is that] of the heart, in the spirit, [and] not in the letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of God.
Mar 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Its up to the Christian to share it. There is plenty of verses that say Christmas is a 24-7 kind of thing. A couple sets of favorites to this Author are:
Rom 14:4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
Rom 14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
Rom 14:6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth [it] unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard [it]. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
Rom 14:7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
Rom 14:8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
Rom 14:9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
Also:
2Cr 9:6 ¶ But this [I say], He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
2Cr 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, [so let him give]; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
2Cr 9:8 And God [is] able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all [things], may abound to every good work:
2Cr 9:9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.
2Cr 9:10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for [your] food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)
2Cr 9:11 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.
2Cr 9:12 For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;
2Cr 9:13 Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for [your] liberal distribution unto them, and unto all [men];
2Cr 9:14 And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.
2Cr 9:15 Thanks [be] unto God for his unspeakable gift.
Luk 12:48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few [stripes]. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
Notice there are no Specific dates given:
Luk 12:49 ¶ I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
We now know a little bit more about Jesus. We now must apply it along with everything else we have learned. “How has knowing that changed the way you behave?... information overload and negative filtering are the major reasons people are not doing what they know. ...And they should read it repeatedly. ...People should learn less more (to master something.) and not more less.” Ken Blanchard, Paul J. Meyer, Dick Ruhe. Know Can Do! Berrett-Koehler Publishers, Inc. San Francisco. Copyright 2007 pp.1, 8, 20
By no means close your mind to new ideas. Just be careful how you react to them. Pastors can help. Bounce new Ideas off your personal Pastor. Just like you can Celebrate Jesus birth you can bounce new ideas off of his selected Pastors.
“We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States;...And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” Continental Congress. Declaration of Independence. The year 1776.
Rev 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb [is] the light thereof.
Rev 21:24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
The Founding Fathers wanted interdependence to be agreeable to Gods will. Not Mans will. So Christmas should be: a focal point of researching the year and rewarding one anther for the good things we have received of one another. The New Year hour should be a time to reflect on how to be best able to protect our Sacred Honor and begin helping others at the same time.

Muslims Claim the Christians are Worshiping a demigod. Jesus to many Muslim teachers:
l. Is a created human being and is not eternal (Surah 3:59).
ls not the Lamb of God who was slain (Surah 4:157).
Will not return untilJudgment Day (Surah 43:61).
Prophesied of but did not send Muhammad or the Holy Spirit (al-Saff 61:6).
Is not involved in salvation, which is found only in the Five Pillars of Islam (Surah 4:124; 9:20-22).
ls an involuntary slave to Allah (Hadith: Narrated Anas, 009.093.532, Volume 9, Book 93, Number 507).
Was never crucified and therefore was never resurrected (al-Nisaa' 4:1 57-1 58).
Is not God in the flesh or the Son of God (al-Maa'idah 5:72-73;Maryam l9:34-38, 88-93; Surah 4:171).
Cannot be worshiped (Surah al-Maa'idah 5:116). Number 507).
Is simply another prophet (Surah 2.136, 2.84).
Returns in yellow garments (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 37, Number 4310).
Lands on a minaret in Damascus, Syria.r
Destroys the Antichrist and exterminates the Jewish people and Christianity.2
Was never pierced (Surah 4.157).
will marry a woman and have children.3
willl break every cross (Mustadrak Hakim).a
will die 40 years after his return (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 37, Number 43101.t "
(Emir Caner. Israel my Glory. September-October. pp22."
One theing the Muslims have right is a belief there is only one “ Sole God of the Universe” pp 179 and all the angels and all mankind need to worship him alone. The quote comes from Dr. Ian Barnes. The Historical Atlas of Judaism. Chartwell Books, Inc. copyright 2009. ISBN 10: 0-7858-2484-7. pp179
Something else they have right is that if your enemy takes one step of kindness towards you. You should take two steps of kidness towards him.
Something else they have right: Christ was born of a Virgin.
They are pretty close to the road Jesus Described himself as. The Way, The Truth and the Life.
Where they leave is where they refuse to acknowledge Jesus as the Gods Sole Heir. And that Jesus is now the name of God. Notice above number 8 wherein they have a hard time with “God in the Flesh” is Jesus. Investigations show that they place Jesus on equal footing with the other prophets. However Jesus is something more:
Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Rev 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Hbr 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
As a result the Name of Jesus to them has less power than Muhammed. Ignoring these and even The specific:
Mat 1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
Mat 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Mat 1:22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Mat 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
This name Jesus Christ then is the reason for using The Christ part of Jesus Christ in our celebration on Christmas. As a result of the increasing of the acknowledging of the power of Christmas rather than the power of the creator of Christmas. And Plus rather than worshiping the creator of the Ethics that Christmas exemplifies many are worshipping the creations. These Ethics are so important to the Christians that the created figments of our imaginations that we use to support the Ethics become demi-gods. Santa Claus and Frosty the Snowman are the best examples. A good reason to watch out for letting this get out of hand can be seen in Romans 1.
Ro 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Ro 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Ro 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Ro 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
And the results seen farther in Romans 1 are basicly Wickedness. A Child presented with Gods Ethics and told to give God the credit will normaly do so. Those that are taught otherwise will reflect Romans 1.
Pr 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
God wants us to worship his Spirit- that is him. He has given his Spirit a specific name. Its Jesus.
CHRISTMAS AND X-MAS By Scott Skinner
The Common knowledge and purpose of X-Mas is that: 1)It uses uses less Ink. 2)Takes less time to write.
and
3) False: God the Father does not like his name used or has refused to give us his personal name.
We will examine the letters JE wich always refer to the manifestation of God the father. This Means X-mas is the lazy way of Saying Jesus' Birthday. And the Majority of Civilizations' people are as of 2008 getting very lazy.
We Could go into a Godhead Bible study. Or we could use an adjustment in understanding God the Fathers name.
First a glance at the Old testament. Notice Jah:
Psa 68:4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
Jehovah,Exd 6:3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by [the name of] God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
Malchisedek Psa 110:2 The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
Psa 110:3 Thy people [shall be] willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
Psa 110:4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
Isa 9:7 Of the increase of [his] government and peace [there shall be] no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

So from the above we can see there was two ways to spell God according to The old testament. The pronunciation was same. Yah. And a new name would be given.
Now a Look at the new testament
Not to destroy the law but to fulfil.
Mat 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Mat 5:17 ¶ Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Melchezek King os Salem, forever
Hbr 5:1 ¶ For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things [pertaining] to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
Hbr 5:2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
Hbr 5:3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
Hbr 5:4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as [was] Aaron.
Hbr 5:5 ¶ So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
Hbr 5:6 As he saith also in another [place], Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
Hbr 5:7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
Hbr 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
That at the name of Jesus
Phl 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
Phl 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth;
Phl 2:11 And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
inherited a better name Hbr 1:1 ¶ God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Hbr 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Hbr 1:3 Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Hbr 1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
Hbr 1:5 ¶ For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
Hbr 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
All power is given me
Matthew 28:19 Mat 28:17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.
No weapon formed agianst Christ or his people shall prosper.
Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue [that] shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This [is] the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness [is] of me, saith the LORD.
So this is reason number 1 the Muslims as weapons are failing. Reason number two is Charity: the Muslims have Faith, the Muslims have knowledge, and have shared it without reserve over time. Yet their poor increase in number, while ours increase in strength. Ours need to approach things from a different Angle. If Civilization is seeking to decrease the numbers of the Poor there needs to be a new brainwashing technique. The old one is not working. The New one should be one that Employees the tools of the information age. Napoleon Hill said:
December 3, 2009 REMEMBER THAT THE FAULTS OF HUMANKIND ARE PRETTY EVENLY DISTRIBUTED AMONG ALL OF US. Why can we so easily overlook in ourselves the faults we are quick to spot in others? It is easy to be objective when it comes to criticizing our friends, family members, and business associates, but it is far more difficult to be honest about our own shortcomings. Only when we recognize that we are all human, with the same faults and failings, do we begin to develop that wonderful quality of tolerance that enables us to accept others as they are and ask nothing in return. Replacing faultfinding with "goodfinding" is never easy. But when you become one who always compliments instead of criticizes, you become the kind of friend we would all like to have.
As a result of these three gathered pieces of information the correct provision for enlightening the greater Portion of Mankind can start where it left off in the early 1990's. The Internet. A Conservative in charge of a series of liberals was not a bad idea. The years of 2000's will prove wether civilization can provide the right information in the right way. And the Right Hand the Lord must provide it. We must accept Jesus information. The Arabs Gave us information. In the name of Charity. In the Name of Charity the time has come to Provide the Poor People of the Arab world the right to look at life through the Eyes of Jesus. John 13:34, Rom 8:38-39
The Korans instructors are telling People Jesus is just another type of prophet. They are also saying:
1.Is a created human being and is not eternal (Surah 3:59).
2.ls not the Lamb of God who was slain (Surah 4:157).
3.Will not return untilJudgment Day (Surah 43:61).
Prophesied of but did not send Muhammad or the Holy Spirit (al-Saff 61:6).
Is not involved in salvation, which is found only in the Five Pillars of Islam (Surah 4:124; 9:20-22).
ls an involuntory slave to Allah (Hadith: Narrated Anas, 009.093.532, Volume 9, Book 93, Number 507).
Was never crucified and therefore was never resurrected (al-Nisaa' :1 57-1 58).
Is not God in the flesh or the Son of God (al-Maa'idah 5:72-73;Maryam l9:34-38, 88-93; Surah 4:171).
9.Cannot be worshiped (Surah al-Maa'idah 5:116).
11.Is simply another prophet (Surah 2.136, 2.84).
Returns in yellow garments (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 37, Number 4310).
Lands on a minaret in Damascus, Syria.r Destroys the Antichrist and exterminates the Jewish people and Christianity.2
15.Was never pierced (Surah 4.157).
16.Will Marry a W'oman and have children.3
17.Willl break every cross (Mustadrak Hakim).a
As a result it is safe and easy to say them that are doing this have supported a Holy War against Jesus and his disciples. His Disciples say Jesus is and always will be Lord of All. Viz: Jesus is among other things:
1.the eternal Creator of everything: Micah 5:2; Col. 1:16-17 Mic 5:2 ¶ But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, [though] thou be little among the thousands of Judah, [yet] out of thee shall he come forth unto me [that is] to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth [have been] from of old, from everlasting.
Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Col 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
2.the Lamb of God. Jn 1:29 Jhn 1:29 ¶ The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Act 9:2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
Act 9:3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
Act 9:4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
Act 9:5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: [it is] hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
Act 9:6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord [said] unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
4.Sent the Holy Spirit (Comfortor) who came 50 days later not 300 years later. (Muhamed was not born until 570 AD).
Act 2:1 ¶ And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
Act 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
Act 2:3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
Act 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5.Salvation is found in no one but Jesus. (Acts 4:12, Romans 10:9
Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved
Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. ).
6.Made himself himself a voluntary Servant (Pilippians 2:6-8). hl 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
Phl 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
Phl 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
7.By his death and resurrection saves people from their sins (Jn 11:25, 1 Cor 15:14-20).
Jhn 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 1Cr 15:14 And if Christ be not risen, then [is] our preaching vain, and your faith [is] also vain.
1Cr 15:15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
1Cr 15:16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
1Cr 15:17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith [is] vain; ye are yet in your sins.
1Cr 15:18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
1Cr 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
1Cr 15:20 ¶ But now is Christ risen from the dead, [and] become the firstfruits of them that slept.
8.Is the son of God the word made fleshwho dwelt among us (Jn 1:14 Jn 3:16).
Jhn 1:14 ¶ And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. Jhn 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
9.It is commanded that he be worshipped (Phillipians 2:9-11).
Phl 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
Phl 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth;
Phl 2:11 And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
10.Is the only Mediator between God and Man (1Tim 2:5, Heb 8:6).
1Ti 2:5 For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
Hbr 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
11.Is the name above all names (Eph 1:21).
Eph 1:21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
12.Returns arrayed I white ( Dan 7:9, Rev 1:15-15) Dan 7:9 ¶ I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment [was] white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne [was like] the fiery flame, [and] his wheels [as] burning fire.
Rev 1:15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
13.Returns to Jerusalem and stands on the mount of Olives(Zech 14:4; Acts 1:11)
Zec 14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which [is] before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, [and there shall be] a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
Act 1:11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
14.Destroys the Anti Christ and rescues the Jewish people (Zech 12:2,
2Th 2:8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.
, Rev. 19:15, 20-21). Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. Rev 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Rev 19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which [sword] proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
Zec 12:2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah [and] against Jerusalem.
15.Was Pierced for our transgressions (Isa 53:5, Zech 12:10).
Isa 53:5 But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Zec 12:10 ¶ And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for [his] only [son], and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for [his] firstborn.
16.Will Marry his Bride (the Church) at the Marriage support of the Lamb. (Rev 19:7)
Rev 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
17.Breaks every curse of sin and death (Isa 53:6, Gal 3:12 Rev 22:3). Rev 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
Isa 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Gal 3:12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
Rev 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
18.Is alive for every more (Heb 7:24; Rev 1:18).
Hbr 7:24 But this [man], because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
Rev 1:18 I [am] he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. 19.
Many Jews have accepted all this and need General Christian support. They can safely be called Christian Jews or Jews inwardly.
Rom 2:29 But he [is] a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision [is that] of the heart, in the spirit, [and] not in the letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of God.
From the above it is obvious that in the world there is a difference of Opinion about Who Jesus is.
Them that are of the Liberal Press have deliberately Joined forces with the Arabs who are Muslims. But they did not count on the Right Hand of God overcoming their little plots of Treachery. The Congress is making good decisions and bad ones. Its trying to keep our Keel under the water. The President is trying to keep our Guns focused on the real enemy.
The Place of Gods people is clear. Even Peter had to learn it. The Jews are to treat all men as equal and visa versa:
“Galatians 2:11-12 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
When James came, he sat and ate with him. But when some Jews came, he said, "You guys stay here; I'm going to go eat with the Jews." Peter had already received a vision from God teaching that he should call no man common or unclean, but he had started to fall back on his own self-righteousness.”
So now it is clear:
“Pastor Davis used to say quite often that the best testimony is the one that's lived. I think about religion and the impact it's had, especially on the Western world where I live. They look at God as being created after Man's image, for his own purposes, such as control of the lower classes. When people see a testimony, it makes a difference. It made a difference to me when I met people who went to church and lived a testimony away from church, even when they didn't think you were listening.
Pastorship, part 2 of 3
This isn't how to become a pastor; this isn't the training course. So if you missed last week's study, don't worry; you're not going to miss out on a certificate on that account.
Accountability Subject to giving account; being answerable to; responsible Pastors are responsible for something more than a job. It's kind-of like a job, but it's not something they can take vacation from. It's a seven-days-a-week, twenty-four-hours-a-day obligation. The accountability is positive, from a desire to serve, not negative, from God's pointing finger. The accountability is something that pastors take on gladly, out of a desire to shepherd and feed the flock of God.
1 Peter 4:1-5 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you: Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
So pastors are going to give account to God, having a higher standard to live up to. They should be blameless in all of the things that the world considers to be normal and ordinary: they are not idolators or drunkards or rioters. They live a life that has been cleansed.
A: Pastors answer to God, not to the congregation
Let's look at the commission that applies to all of us, but especially to pastors, who are solidly committed to admonish the congregation. That's why we sit before them on Sunday mornings.
Ezekiel 33:1-7 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.”

Mar 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Its up to the Christian to share it. There is plenty of verses that say Christmas is a 24-7 kind of thing.
Y3 Original and Ongoing Purpose of the USA
Defeating the Bad Spiritual habits that drag us away from God.
Isa 58:1 ¶ Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
Isa 58:2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.
Isa 58:3 Wherefore have we fasted, [say they], and thou seest not? [wherefore] have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours.
Isa 58:4 Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as [ye do this] day, to make your voice to be heard on high.
Isa 58:5 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? [is it] to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes [under him]? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
Isa 58:6 ¶ [Is] not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
Isa 58:7 [Is it] not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
Isa 58:8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.
Isa 58:9 Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I [am]. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
Isa 58:10 And [if] thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness [be] as the noonday:
“I trust I do not deceive myself when I indulge the persuasion that I have never met you at any period when more than at the present the situation of our public affairs has afforded just cause for mutual congratulation, and for inviting you to join with me in profound gratitude to the Author of all Good for the numerous and extraordinary blessings we enjoy.” George Washington. President of the USA. Seventh Annual Message of George Washington. United States; December 8, 1795. http://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/washs07.asp
The above quote was spoken by George Washington in a time when the Nation was had prevailed over tyranny. The Above verses remind us we must stay o task to maintain our freedoms. Today We are confidently prevailing against tyranny as we have created an atmosphere wherein two nations Iraq And Afghanistan are having free elections. We have paid for it in blood and in money and some natural resources are heavy use to create the weaponry. But two more free elections than two years ago are something for all Americans to be Boasting I Christ. We are fighting hard to avoid bloodshed and death rates are lower that they were I most other wars. So now is the time to face iward and outward pressures boldly so them who have died will not have died in vain:
Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Isa 9:7 Of the increase of [his] government and peace [there shall be] no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
Exd 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Deu 5:11 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold [him] guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
“God does not want us to shy away from the tough subjects when we choose to live our life for him, and just pretend that there are things we can handle on our own. Pornography is a habit, and it is becoming an addiction for hundreds of thousands of Americans every year. So what does God think of this habit? It pushes us away from Him. It is a habit that damages our relationship with God. Because of that, it needs to be talked about in the pulpit.
Instead of thinking that we are all alone, remember that God is with us all the time. We can never “close the door” on what God sees in our lives, so we have to act as if he is in the room with us even when there isn’t anyone else around. If we find an impulse to do or look at something we shouldn’t we have to get in the habit of checking our motives.
Pastor Paine offered this story that he heard at a Promise Keeper’s conference several years ago. A minister was speaking about the struggles of life on the road for ministry. His calling took him away from his family for weeks at a time, and he made a habit to ensure that he never found himself slipping in his dedication to his wife and children while he was on the road. Every time the minister arrived in a new hotel room, the very first thing he would do was take out a picture of his family and put it right on top of the TV to remind him that he wasn’t alone. He had a wife and children that were at home counting on him. Pastor Paine said that this is a good habit he borrowed after hearing the story to help keep him from temptation while traveling. Little habits like this one are the best way to make sure that temptation is stopped at the very start. It’s not about big actions that make it impossible for you to fall, instead, it is a series of small spiritual habits that we can make that strengthen us to do what God is calling each of us to do.” Pastor Paine. http://www.mychristianfellowship.org/sep_27_09_godly_habits.php
In this small excerpt from a service called: Godly Habits. Spoken Sunday, Sep 27, 2009: By Pastor Peter F. Paine. We see a tantamount problem that America is going to need to take on (And use Jesus name to defeat it). Whether The USA takes it head on with more laws, or simply recognizes it and makes a hard fast change in its culture doesn't matter. However laws do not need to be made on the subject if the source of our counter attack starts on the pulpit and in the teaching of the children.
“Placed in a situation every way so auspicious, motives of commanding force impel us, with sincere acknowledgment to Heaven and pure love to our country, to unite our efforts to preserve, prolong, and improve our immense advantages. To cooperate with you in this desirable work is a fervent and favorite wish of my heart.” Seventh Annual Message of George Washington. United States; December 8, 1795. http://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/washs07.asp
Psa 27:2 When the wicked, [even] mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
Jhn 6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
Jhn 6:39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
Jhn 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
Jhn 6:41 ¶ The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
Jhn 6:42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?
Jhn 6:43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
Jhn 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
Jhn 6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
Jhn 6:46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
Jhn 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
Jhn 6:48 I am that bread of life.
Jhn 6:49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
Jhn 6:50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
Jhn 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
Jhn 6:52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us [his] flesh to eat?
Jhn 6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
Jhn 6:54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
Jhn 6:55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
Jhn 6:56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
Jhn 6:57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
Jhn 6:58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
When this concept of Jesus body it is easy to see how God speaks through Paul in the following writing:
1Ti 5:24 Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some [men] they follow after.
1Ti 5:25 Likewise also the good works [of some] are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.
“Also, the most outspoken man often is an individual who has no Definite Major Purpose of his own. Therefore he devotes much of his time endeavoring to belittle the man who has such a purpose.” Napoleon Hill. Analysis of the Mastermind. Occupation. The Master-Key to Riches.
2Ti 4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
In direct result to this evidence it is easy to see how: Being bold in honest use of Jesus name in a positive light will “win-out.” It will put at naught the devices that would lead to convincing God into fighting against his own people. And that God will defend those who defend his Prescribed culture; A culture that is described intensely by the Ministry of God and those who founded the nation. Their writings are at war to keep a small Government in times of peace. And to Minimize the need for government by voluntary co-operation of: the people, Business owners and the Ministry of God in general.
