Question #1

| Back To Top |

Are the Judaics really trying to take over the world?  It is so-called AntiSemitic to even dare utter it?

 

A reader writes:

Thanks for that kosher story. With my few experiences
with hasidic and ultra-orthodox Jews, I am not
surprised. They often follow the letter but not the
spirit of the Law. Sometimes I think you might be
right on a certain level about the Jews: not that they
are trying to take over the world - I still don't quite
believe that - but that they are under God's wrath for
rejecting Jesus. I can't imagine a true Christian
butcher doing that [the writer speaks of the cruel and inhumane manner of the Jew's Kosher Slaughter of livestock (see Article & Video)].

On a separate subject, I have been doing a lot of
reading of the New Testament.  Recently I have been
listening to a radio station called "Family Radio"
with a guy named Harold Camping. I was wondering
whether you knew of him and what your thoughts were?
I'm asking you because you seem like a person who
tells it like it is without pulling any punches.

Thanks for your insight.

Answer:

"Sometimes I think you might be right on a certain level about the Jews: not that they are trying to take over the world - I still don't quite believe that"

Excerpt from (the yet unreleased) The Coming Storm..., by Nick Goggin ©:

^“...Now, why that should alarm you is this: the Jews believe that they are the Messiah, these Jews have read the Old Testament prophecies about what wrath God shall unleash upon the idolaters and the blasphemous when Messiah fully comes (Christians know this as the 2^nd Advent).  Problem is, the Jews think Christians to be blasphemers and idolatrous, thus it is we that they shall deal with!  For all the unreligious in the endtimes shall convert to antichrist’s new religion.  They will won’t pose a problem to antichrist and his minions, they will not die for something that they do not even believe in―but Christians have and will die for Christ Jesus, both Lord and God.

     These Jews are in control of this world today, they have all the power, money, and might.  Christians do not stand to fare so well when the Jews make their final leap to their supposed “godhood.”  Satan has blinded them into believing that he (satan) is God, and that they (Jews) are his godlike chosen people.  They will do whatever satan tells them to do to the endtime Christians.  It would be a gross understatement to say that this is all gearing up to be the greatest persecution this world has ever endured.  And you, dear Christian friend, are their target.  Let’s read along with Elizabeth Dilling (a Christian Talmud scholar/exposer) to document some of my points:

Jewish Author Israel Shahak states   “Judaism is imbued with a very deep hatred towards Christianity. . .  The very name ‘Jesus’ was for Jews a symbol of all that is abominable, and this popular tradition still exists.       The Gospels are equally detested, and they are not allowed to be quoted even in modern Israeli Jewish schools.  Christianity as a religion is classed by rabbinical teaching as idolatry.  All Christian emblems and pictorial representations are regarded as ‘idols.’  The attitude of Judaism towards Islam is, in contrast, relatively mild.”   ― Israel Shahak, Jewish History, Jewish Religion: The Weight of Three Thousand Years, Pluto Press, London, 1994, p. 97-98.

“To many Christians, Judaism is a monotheistic religion, based on belief in one Supreme Being and adherence to the Old Testament, with the Messiah still to come. This is not so.   The untutored Gentile has been led to believe that adherents of the Jewish religion are simply believers in the Old Testament who are still awaiting their promised Messiah.  However, in Judaism that Messiah is already here, and it is the “Jewish people” themselves.  For example, the Jewish Talmud, Kethuboth, 111a, states: “The Messiah [is] without metaphor the Jewish people.” ―The Jewish Religion: Its Influence Today  by Elizabeth Dilling, chapter VI. “JUDAISM NOT MONOTHEISTIC,” pg.31.

 

     We must make mention of the differing (or missing) quotes from the Jewish Babylonian Talmud and Zohar (Kabbala): The disparaging comments regarding non-Jews are expurgated (removed, edited-out, censored, hidden) from various editions of the Talmud. They are, however, found in the Soncino English translation of 1935 [unavailable - surprise, surprise!]. (Some of these pages have been reproduced in The Plot Against Christianity).  Where they have been expunged, one can find an “o” indicating “oral tradition,” which means they are still taught. Like it or not, Orthodox Judaism fervently teaches ultimate supremacy over “the nations,” i.e., Gentiles, whom it pronounces as inferior creatures.

One such “expurgated” quote from the Jewish Talmud, which has a lot to do with you, the endtime Christian, is the below; where we see what antichrist’s deluded minions have in mind for us:

“When the Messiah comes every Jew will have 2800 slaves.” ― Simeon Haddarsen, fol. 56-D

     How nice, 2800 slaves for every antichrist Jew; talk about superiority delusions!    This is the Jewish religious idea of eternal bliss.  If they were to have it their way, we would spend the eternity being slaves for those who run around today calling themselves “Jews.”  But alas, there is a problem for the endtime Jew (other than the obvious when Jesus Christ returns at His Second Advent); the Jews have this whole carnal eternity planned where they entertain delusions of grandeur for themselves, and servitude or death to all other races of man. 

     But these deluded people, because they reject and won’t read the New Testament; don’t even realize that in the book of Revelation, the antichrist, the Jew’s messiah, whom they help into power; shall turn on them, and kill them (Rev 17:16-17).  DOH!  Sorry, but while I don’t gloat over their prophesied fate, because the Bible says that we should not rejoice over the calamity of our enemies, I honestly just can’t find pity in my heart for them.  My eyes are wide open to what they have already done to us; and by Scripture, and their own writings, I know what they have in store for us at the end. 

     Remember this day; today; while you are still safe and the world hasn’t yet gone mad―for you will soon long for a day such as this, no mater what life’s problems you may be having now.  In the first forty-two months of the Tribulation you are going to experience first-hand the insanity and vileness that is the Jewish mind: fully empowered, limitless, unstoppable; in the last five months of the Tribulation you shall experience the depths that satan’s mind is capable of. 

     Regarding the endtime Jews (who the Judeo-Christians have been deluded into thinking shall find Christianity during the Tribulation, convert, and become saved in Christ Jesus):  God has antichrist (satan) do to the Jews, what the Jews endeavored to do to God’s chosen people (Christians) during the Tribulation.  By the time antichrist (satan) kills his Jews, they will have had much Christian blood on their hands.  Then they meet God, whom they denied and had attempted to usurp, for a little quality time―one on one.

     But anyway, there is a problem with the above quote.  The plot thickens:  Many Christians discover that when they try to find Simeon Haddarsen, fol. 56-D, they cannot.  It has “mysteriously” vanished.  The Jewish apologists (excuse makers) use this inability to locate this ancient Talmudic writing to claim that it is spurious, i.e., made-up by big bad nasty AntiSemites (Christians who Jews falsely accuse of lying―as though Christians apparently have nothing better to do than to make up lies about the so-called “God’s chosen people”).

     However, as always, our Lord, the only God, is good in that He ensures that antichrists shall be identified at every turn.  And no doubt He hasn’t forgotten that the Jews had Jesus Christ murdered by their bearing of false witness against Him (Mt 26:59, Mk 14:56, etc.).  In the below portion of the Talmud, we see another statement, which has not (yet―by the 1961 edition) been expunged; and is still available to the researcher).  In the “chapter” (section, book) of the Talmud called Tractate Shabbath, Folio 32a, we find the below Talmudic parallel-reading to the above “When the Messiah comes every Jew will have 2800 slaves” passage: 

“Resh Lakish said: He who is observant of fringes will be privileged to be served by two thousand eight hundred slaves, for it is said, Thus saith the Lord of hosts: In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold, out of all the languages of the nations shall even take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you, etc.” ― Babylonian Talmud: “Tractate Shabbath,” Folio 32a 2.

Notes:
#1  For how number of 2800 slaves was arrived at:  Resh Lakish is commenting on Zechariah 8:23, ‘Skirt’ is regarded as referring to the fringe (cf. n. 2.). There are four fringes, and traditionally there are seventy languages [and we have the “ten men” from the above]: we thus have 70 X 10 X 4 = 2800.

#2  Mas. Shabbath 31b, the usual reference for this Talmud passage, is inaccurate (it is not 31b, but rather it is 32a).  Small issue?  Perhaps, but poor scholarship and research like this mistaken attribution, causes Christian research to suffer.  Or, perhaps Kenites have introduced partial truths and errant citations into the Internet to frustrate accurate quoting of writings of theirs which expose them?  For if one where to do an Internet search for “Mas. Shabbath 31b” they would not come-up with this excerpt; then a Jewish apologist may be able to tell then that the quote is a lie and is not in the Talmud.  That is why it is so important to cite accurate source data at all times.  The Jewish mind is like a Lawyer’s mind (no surprise there, they dominate the Profession, always have) in that: it is not truth that matters, but only that which can be debated and spun successfully to bring about the desired outcome, and the truth be damned.

As one Jew explains to another Jew:

“The Jewish people as a whole will be its own Messiah. It will attain world dominion by the dissolution of other races, by the abolition of frontiers, the annihilation of monarchy, and by the establishment of a world republic in which the Jews will everywhere exercise the privilege of citizenship. In this new world order the Children of Israel will furnish all the leaders without encountering opposition. The Governments of the different peoples forming the world republic will fall without difficulty into the hands of the Jews. It will then be possible for the Jewish rulers to abolish private property, and everywhere to make use of the resources of the state. Thus will the promise of the Talmud be fulfilled, in which is said that when the Messianic time is come the Jews will have all the property of the whole world in their hands.” ― Baruch Levy [Judaic], Letter to Karl Marx [also Jewish], La Revue de Paris, p. 54, June 1, 1928.
 

“Only recently our race has given the world a new prophet, but he has two faces and bears two names; on the one side his name is Rothschild [Judaic], leader of all capitalists, and on the other Karl Marx [Judaic], the apostle of those who want to destroy the other.” ― Blumenthal [Judaic], Judisk Tidskrift, No. 57, Sweeden, 1929.

 

“Communism is the destiny of mankind.  There is one work on sociology, and only one work, and that is Marx’s Capital. Only a Jew could write this work.  The Jews are the highest and most cultured people on earth... The Jews have a right to subordinate to themselves the rest of mankind and to be the masters over the whole earth. The Jews will become masters over the whole earth, and they will subordinate to themselves all nations, not by material power, not by brute force, but by light, knowledge, understanding, humanity, peace, justice and progress.

     The Aryans will enlarge and beautify the earth; but they will settle to enjoy the world which they created only in the tents of the Jews. These tents are communism, internationalism...

     State capitalism may come from below through a bloody revolution, as was the case in Soviet Russia; or it may come from above, as will likely be the case in this country.

     All that is necessary that in this country state capitalism and fascism shall be completely established is a national emergency or a war. Once such a national emergency or war comes - and it will inevitably come in the near future - and in this country we shall have the state capitalism. and fascism that we see in Soviet Russia or Nazi Germany.

     The Jews shall inherit this earth, and ... all other races will either disappear altogether or they will become Jews. ― A Program for the Jews and an Answer to All AntiSemites:... by Henry Watan, (New York, NY: Committee for Preservation of the Jews, 1939) p. 36.   (Unk. Editor states: This rather astounding declaration was published by a group calling itself “Committee for Preservation of the Jews.” It was sponsored by the Spinoza Institute of New York. Watan was one of many Jewish mystics who have tried to reconcile the Kabbalah, Spinoza and neo-Gnostic communism, which they see as the long-overdue bringing of rationality, justice - and strict supervision - to the entire world.)_”

Please wake up, Sir; you haven't much time left.

The reader replied with:

"Interesting - I am a Jewish person trying to seek
Jesus and all you keep doing is hurling antisemetic
slurs at me.  You used to be such a reasonable
interesting person, but I think you might be going off
the deep end."

Answer:

     Ummmm..., what "AntiSemitic" "slurs" have I "hurled" at you?  What I did was to quote JEWISH MEN who admit to the plan of the International Judaics.  Your problem isn't with me; it is with the Jewish men, Jewish publications, and Jewish organizations, that I quoted [in the above], such as:

• Israel Shahak (himself a Holocaust survivor),

• The Jewish Talmud (the undisputed final authority in Judaism),

• Baruch Levy, (Judaic)

• Mr. Blumenthal, (Judaic)

• Henry Watan, (Jewish Mystic)

• and the Committee for Preservation of the Jews.

     It is the above that "hurled" so-called "AntiSemitic" "slurs" at "you;" not I.  I just reported on them, I just made you aware of them.  Now, I know that your tactic works with many ungrounded Christians who are more interested in licking the hand of antichrists than they are for standing up for their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; but let's be honest here; you aren't a "Jew" trying to find Jesus; you are trying to suppress any mention of the grand plot of antichrist and his minions. 

     You came here under false pretenses, baited me, and now try to turn my statements against me; in that by my telling you the truth, I am somehow to be responsible for your eternal damnation in denying Jesus Christ.  That one's on you, pal; not on me.  If the truth offends you, then read elsewhere.  There are many Christian Websites that will coddle you and dilute the truth to appease you and your tribe.  I am a believer in tough-love.  Tough love changes errant people, sticky-sweet accommodating and enabling love allows the errant to continue in their error, to their own demise. 

Don't find Jesus Christ because of me, find Him because of Him. 

But then, you really aren't looking for Him, are you? 

You stated:

"but I think you might be going off the deep end"

     We are all going off a deep end if we don't open our eyes and ears soon.  How can one write of such things, in a world that has been prepared to reject them, and not sound like he is "going off the deep end"?  You solution, I suppose, would be to go back to sleep and let antichrist's minion continue away at their work unhindered and unexposed?  Well, when the Tribulation (the ultimate fruit of their labors) visits this world, the people are going to be "going off the deep end" real quick--but it will be too late for most of them.  So I, and others like minded, warn people.  We search out and present facts for those who are interested.  What is it that you are interested in, Sir?  Certainly not anything looking like the truth. 

Instead of playing poor persecuted by the Christian Jew; why not investigate the facts.  I will leave you with Scripture:

John 14:6
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.  KJV 

John 3:16-18
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.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. KJV

And I will close this with more handy-work of the International Judaics who control this Government from within and without:

NEW TESTAMENT ANTI-SEMITIC SAYS U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT; The persecution of Christians in America has begun.

"But how do we know that it is Judaics aim to destroy Christianity," you may ask?  We know because esteemed Jews who opened their eyes and refused to any longer be a part of it have told us: 

 

Jewish Author Israel Shahak states: 

“Judaism is imbued with a very deep hatred towards Christianity. . .  The very name ‘Jesus’ was for Jews a symbol of all that is abominable, and this popular tradition still exists. 

     The Gospels are equally detested, and they are not allowed to be quoted even in modern Israeli Jewish schools.  Christianity as a religion is classed by rabbinical teaching as idolatry.  All Christian emblems and pictorial representations are regarded as ‘idols.’  The attitude of Judaism towards Islam is, in contrast, relatively mild.”  ― Israel Shahak, Jewish History, Jewish Religion: The Weight of Three Thousand Years, Pluto Press, London, 1994, p. 97-98.

I could absolutely inundate you with similar quotes; but your ears are shut. 

Peace.

Question #2

| Back To Top |

A Muslim respectfully asks about: Islam, in a Christian's view; the Trinity, in light of God is One; and why Jesus Christ was offered, since God could have forgiven sin without it

 

A reader (Muslim) writes:

HI
I am a Muslim and I am interested in knowing more about Christian faith and what are your views on Islam. I will be grateful if you can answer my questions in detail. My questions are: 

1- According to atheists there is no God at all. Religion is seen as something that is passed down as oral culture and the only reason we believe in religion is because we are taught to believe in it since childhood i.e. it is just in the mind. Religion is seen as a control mechanism and all religions are considered similar in the respect that they all consider themselves right and superior, also all other people are considered wrong and would go to hell. If you were to convince an atheist that God exists, what logic would you use? and if you have to believe in a religion then why Christianity? Why not any other religion. 

2- What do you think about Islam. What, in you view, is wrong with Muslim faith. 

3- Lastly, there are certain things that I have heard about Christianity and I don't believe in Christianity because of these: There are many contradictions in Christian faith, the first and foremost is that your first commandment says that God is one but you also believe in Trinity. In one of your answers you wrote that it is the same God in different form the way one person can be a husband, a father and boss and God has unlimited power so he can be at two places at one time. However, as God has limit less power why would he need to send a son to get the sins of people forgiven, he could forgive them anyways. 

Waiting for your replay and thanks.

Answer:

Hello.  Nice to meet you.  May I take your questions one by one?

You stated:

"According to atheists there is no God at all. Religion is seen as something that is passed down as oral culture and the only reason we believe in religion is because we are taught to believe in it since childhood i.e. it is just in the mind."

    According to that way of reasoning we also have to throw out mathematics.  2 + 2 = 4 is no longer true because "[mathematics] is seen as something that is passed down as oral culture and the only reason we believe in [mathematics] is because we are taught to believe in it since childhood". 

    But you say that 2 + 2 = 4 can be proven?  Well, if you are a Muslim who believes Moses and the Old Testament then I can prove Jesus Christ to you as well.  Regarding Atheists, when dealing with Atheists and their view on God I am always reminded of God's view on Atheists:

Psalms 14:1
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.  KJV

    You will much easier to talk to than an Atheist because you believe Moses and Abraham.  We shall see what witness those two great chosen men of God have of Jesus Christ.  But first let's cover the first parts of your question, let's take your questions and comments in the order that you delivered them.

You mention:

"Religion is seen as a control mechanism"

    And the people do not need restraint, structure, rules???  Where should they get them from if not from God?  When God said, "Thou shalt not...", that was a "control mechanism"—He was trying to control our urge to do wrong.  Is that a bad thing?  All children like to have candy, but until they learn right from wrong, until they have that "control mechanism" placed upon and within them—they will steal the candy off of the store shelf.  Thus, God spoke: "Thou shalt not steal." (Exodus 20:15), and all who steal are convicted by the "control mechanism" called the Ten Commandments. 

You said:

"all religions are considered similar in the respect that they all consider themselves right and superior"

    What man would follow a religion that he thought was wrong?  Of course they all think that they are right; but what has that to do with then being right, or what has it to do with the TRUTH?  When two faiths directly contradict each other on major points—then one of them is wrong and the other may be right—but both cannot be right if they disagree with each other.  This is a fundamental law of logic.  Satan craftily destroys this logic by spreading among the ignorant such lies as "all religions worship the same God," and, "all spiritual paths lead to the same place."  The god of Islam did not beget a Son named Jesus Christ who died on the cross, resurrected, and is alive evermore; the God of the Christians does.  That is why the god that the Muslims and the Jews worship is not the Lord God Creator of the Universe, as He is found in the Bible.  The Jew's Babylonian Talmud calls this only begotten Son of God—a bastard son conceived by a menstruating (niddah) whore!  And the Muslims persecute to death, and force-convert under threat of death, His followers.  So you see, we do not worship the same God, and there is only One true God.  For, if the Muslim worships the true God, then they persecute not only His prophet, but His only begotten Son!  Either way, they are big trouble. 

    While I know that both Muslims and Jews do not believe in the Lord, I have a kinder heart towards Muslims because of the vile perverted blasphemies in the Jewish Talmud which the despicable (religious) Jews throw at Jesus Christ, His mother, the religion borne upon His blood, and the New Testament Holy Scriptures.  The Judaics are lucky that 95% of Christians are ignorant to the teachings of the Jew's holy book, the Talmud!  For I fear that if Christians in general were aware of what "religious" Judaism teaches; what with its Pedophilia, Gentile and child murder, slavery, pre-forgiven lying a year in advance (Kol Nidre), insults to Christ, blasphemies to God, and an overall moral character that would shame a street whore, they wouldn't have to exaggerate and lie about their so-called Holocaust anymore, and they might have a real Pogrom on their hands.  The bad news for them is that through the Internet, many Christians are learning things that many of their overthrown Judaic-controlled so-called Christian preacher$ have been keeping from them.  I am not advocating violence against the antichrists, God shall deal with them in the time.  "For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad." (Mark 4:22).

     Compared to Judaism: at least the Islam of the Koran teaches that Jesus Christ was a honored prophet, and many (religious) Muslims regard the New Testament as having a basis in truth.  Though, if Muslims deem Jesus Christ to be a Prophet of God, and those who believe in the Koran do, then they convict their own souls for murdering His followers.  What does the Qu'ran [Koran—k-rn] say about murdering the attendants and followers of a true Prophet of God?  And yes, I know, not all Muslims condone Jihad [holy war—j-häd] and Fatwas [legal edict from Islamic scholar—fätwä] which incite violence and persecution and murder upon the innocents; but why then are they strangely so silent when their fellow-religionists sin against God Almighty through their murders? 

You asked:

"If you were to convince an atheist that God exists, what logic would you use?"

    I would point out to them that they themselves are here, and that God said that He created them along with everything else in this world—and challenge them to prove God wrong.  Why does God always have to prove that He exists—why don't the heathen ever have to prove that He doesn't?  Think about how hard it would be for me to prove that you exist without allowing people to touch, hear, or see you.  But could those people actually prove that you do not exist?  Christians know that God exists, and Jesus Christ too, not because someone told them, but because they feel His presence in their souls.  Any Atheist would give away all that he has to feel that, if he only knew it was possible.  Contrary to the teachings of 99% of today's Christian churches (but they mean well, not fully understanding): faith in Christ Jesus, the Savior of man, is not an accomplishment; but, rather it is a gift from God.  In other words, one cannot learn to believe, but he can pray for the faith to believe.  We are not blessed because we believe, we believe because we are blessed. 

    You too could believe in Jesus Christ if you prayed and asked for it, believing that God can answer prayers and grant mercy and favor to those who love Him.  Even Christ's Apostles asked Christ to increase their faith: "And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith." (Luke 17:5).  So there is no shame in asking God to increase ones own faith.  My own Christian brethren, who glory in their possession of faith, ought to pay heed to Christ's reply to the above request of the Apostles regarding faith:

Luke 17:5-10
5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?
8 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?
9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow [think, believe] not.
10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say [of yourselves], We are unprofitable servants: we have [only] done that which was our duty to do.  KJV

Faith is a gift from God, so that no man may glory in himself (In fact, faith is one of the nine spiritual gifts in 1st Cor 12:9):

[Christ's words in the below are in red text] 

John 6:28-41
28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
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.
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.
41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.  KJV

You asked:

"and if you have to believe in a religion then why Christianity? Why not any other religion. "

    You don't have to believe in any religion, nor Christianity; you have free will to chose eternal life or eternal perdition.  You ask, "Why Christianity?"  I answer: Because it is the truth; if it were not the truth I would not believe it. 

You asked:

"What do you think about Islam. What, in you view, is wrong with Muslim faith"

    Islam is wrong for the same reason that Christianity is right—its all about the truth; its about what is true as opposed to that which is false; it's about what is real as opposed to that which is not real; its about what is from God as opposed to that which is not from God. 

You asked:

"Lastly, there are certain things that I have heard about Christianity and I don't believe in Christianity because of these: There are many contradictions in Christian faith, the first and foremost is that your first commandment says that God is one but you also believe in Trinity."

    Thank you so much for asking that.  I feel that this is the main stumbling block that keeps Muslims from converting to Christianity. 

    Muslims have been told that Christians worship other Gods.  Often times they are told that Christians are blasphemers because they say that Jesus Christ, whom Muslims say was only a man, claimed to be God.  This too is a stumbling block with the Jews; in fact, we see so in the below Scripture. 

    Observe several important points in the below;

• in verse 24 we see the Jews admit that the Old Testament proclaimed that a Savior from God would be sent to this world;

• in verse 25 Jesus declares that He is the Promised One spoken of in the books of Moses;

• in verses 28 & 29 we see that plucking out of Jesus' hand is the same thing as plucking out of God's hand;

• in verse 30 we see Jesus declare, not that He is another God, but that He is THE God (in the flesh);

• in verse 32 we see the Jews make a ostensive admission that they did observe Jesus' miracles; i.e., they give witness that they did happen;

• in verse 33 we see that the Jews well understood exactly what Jesus was saying, and the magnitude of it; they knew full well that Jesus was claiming to be the God of the Heavens (manifested on the Earth in the flesh), and for this they sought to kill Him.  And had Jesus not really have been God in the flesh, then the Jews would have been justified in stoning Him to death blasphemy against the Most High—but Jesus really was God—therefore the Jews did err, and still do to this day—as do the Muslims and many others as well:

John 10:24-33
24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. [Note: Think back to the comments that I made regarding and prior to John 6:28-41 above]
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
30 I and my Father are one.
31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.  KJV

    Oh, had the Jews (and today's Muslims as well) only believed Moses!  For, Moses spoke of Christ which was to come:

John 5:37-47
37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
41 I receive not honour from men.
42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?  KJV

    It is wrong and errant for Muslim clergy to say that Jesus leads people into worshipping other gods.  Jesus does no such thing, in fact, He forbids it.  It is also wrong of them to say that Jesus blasphemes God if he claims to be His Son, and that those who believe upon and worship Jesus Christ, blaspheme God and are infidels and "satans."  Not so much because it is offensive, I don't care about that; they may well find some of my writings offensive; but it is wrong because it is incorrect, it is wrong because it is not the truth of the matter.  No religion should defend itself against others based upon a foundation of lies.  Below we see Jesus answer in His own defense—once and for all time—that He in no way advocates worshipping other gods.  Jesus declares that God is One.  Is that not what Muslims are taught, that God is one God, that there is only one God?

Mark 12:28-34
28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel ; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
34 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst [dared] ask him any question.  KJV

Jesus was quoting from Moses in the above Scripture:

Deuteronomy 6:1-5
6:1 Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:
2 That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.
3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.
4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.  KJV

    I have spoken to Muslims whom I worked with some years ago.  One in particular took a liking to me, and I to him.  As time went on, we spoke of many matters; eventually, as would be expected, we began to speak about the differences in our religions.  We spoke kindly with each other, each being respectful that the other had the right to his own beliefs.  His biggest thing was that he was taught that nowhere in the Bible did Jesus actually claim that He Himself was the Lord God spoken of in the Old Testament.  I felt in my heart at the time that if only he could have been made to see that Jesus indeed said that he was God, that it would have at least given him pause to think, because I know that Muslims are taught that Jesus was a great Prophet of God (devote Muslims even heap respect upon Jesus Christ by saying "peace be upon Him" after speaking his name), and that in Islamic scriptures it is declared that no Prophet of God can lie—therefore, by the rules of his own religion; if Jesus said it, he would have had to believe it; for, his faith teaches that no prophet of God can lie, and they teach that Jesus was a Prophet of God. 

    I didn't have the answer that day for my friend.  He continued in his belief that Christians just made that up (about Jesus being God) to make their religion look more powerful and to defend Jesus for sayings that may be considered blasphemous to others; or that they (Christians) themselves did not fully understand the tenets of their own religion. 

    That was a long time ago, before I really got into deep study of God's written Word, the Bible.  At that time, I did not know how to offer a defense of the faith with Scripture, I didn't know my way around the Bible all that well (to put it mildly).  But if I could go back these years, back to that day when we had spoke and he had caught me unprepared with that statement, I would have had an answer for my old friend (we have since drifted apart due to job change, etc.).  I hope that he has found elsewhere that which I was unable to offer him at the time.  So, to answer you (and all the "him's" out there), may I just allow Jesus to speak on His own behalf? 

    Jesus called Himself the Lord God, the Great and only "I AM"; the "I AM THAT I AM" --Ex 3:14 revealed to Moses prior to the exodus out of Egypt:

John 8:52-59
52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad [Jesus was Melchizedek in Gen 14:18 whom Abraham paid tithes to (see also Heb 7:1-3) "no father/no mother"].
57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.  KJV

Definitions from verse 58 above:

I:  Greek word #1473 ego (eg-o'); a primary pronoun of the first person I (only expressed when emphatic): KJV - I, me. For the other cases and the plural see NT:1691, NT:1698, NT:1700, NT:2248, NT:2249, NT:2254, NT:2257, etc.  (Biblesoft's New Exhaustive Strong's Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary.

See also NT:1488, NT:1498, NT:1511, NT:2258, NT:2071, NT:2070, NT:2075, NT:2076, NT:2468, NT:5600, NT:5607.  (Biblesoft's New Exhaustive Strong's Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright © 1994, 2003 Biblesoft, Inc. and International Bible Translators, Inc.)

Exodus 3:13-15
13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham [that is supposed to be the God of Muslims], the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.  KJV

I AM:  Hebrew word # 1961 hayah (haw-yaw); a primitive root [compare OT:1933]; to exist, i.e. be or become, come to pass (always emphatic, and not a mere copula or auxiliary): KJV - beacon, altogether, be (-come), accomplished, committed, like), break, cause, come (to pass), do, faint, fall, follow, happen, have, last, pertain, quit (oneself-), require, use.  (Biblesoft's New Exhaustive Strong's Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright © 1994, 2003 Biblesoft, Inc. and International Bible Translators, Inc.)

    The Jews tried to kill Jesus when He said that He was "I am", which proves that Jesus indeed was calling Himself the "I AM" of Exodus 3:14 (the Lord God), and the Jews readily identified that name from the Scriptures. 

You asked:

"as God has limit less power why would he need to send a son to get the sins of people forgiven, he could forgive them anyways"

    He "could have" made pigs fly, and rocks float; but even the very young observe that He did not.  You ask "why," why did God send Jesus as THE ONLY means of forgiving the sins of man after that Jesus was offered―as though if it "doesn't make sense" to you, then it cannot be. 

    I will tell you "why," my friend.  It is for the for the same reason that in the days of old the people were to sacrifice animals as a sin offering.  Surely God did not need them to do that either, God could have forgiven sin without the death of an animal.  God does many things that He doesn't "need" to do, God does things the way that He wants them done, not because that He "has to" do them.  He is God, He answers to no-one.  God sent Jesus to cleanse sin because God sent Jesus to cleanse sin.  God made the Universe because God made the Universe.  God made satan because He made satan.  God made Ebola and the Chicken Pox and Penicillin because He made them.  He made pain, sorrow, and death; He made ecstasy, love, and eternal life, sinners and saints, good and evil, life and death, because that is what He willed to do.  Who are we to question God or His ways, seeing that He made us and all that is in our world?  Your answer lies here:

Hebrews 9:22
22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.  KJV

This was nothing new; for God spoke it in Moses writings: 

Leviticus 17:11
11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I [God speaking] have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.  KJV

Why then is it odd to see Jesus' blood for the remission (forgiveness) sins?

Matthew 27:22-26
22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing , but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.  KJV

Below my point is explained a little deeper, showing the Old Testament connection:

Hebrews 9:19-28
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,
20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.
21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.  KJV

Peace.

Question #3

| Back To Top |

 

The Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, a word from an eyewitness to something the Judaic-controlled media has suppressed

 

     A reader, himself a Christian and a U.S. Naval Veteran, asked me to publish the below about his eyewitness to something the Judaic-controlled media has suppressed.

You had a question in there.  You asked:

"Here is my question Nick.  If these people [Jews] are who they claim they are..."

They are not.

Revelation 2:9-11
9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I [Christ Jesus] know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.  KJV

Revelation 3:9-11
9 Behold, I [Christ Jesus] will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.  KJV

You also said:

"Now I would refer you to First Samuel where an almost identical thing happened They took the Ark of the Covenant into battle with them, and they still lost. These people are subject to the power of God just as the rest of us."

     But you err in that you apparently do not know that, while they claim to be the Hebrew and Israel people of the Bible, 95% of today's Judaics are not of the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but are rather "Ashkenazi Jews" who are descendants of the Khazar people which were of Turko-Mongoloid blood and merely converted to Talmudic Judaism in circa 8th Century a.d. (approx 740 a.d.).  In the 12th Century the Khazar kingdom would be destroyed.  It is was then that the Turko-Mongoloid Khazars migrated into Europe and intermarried with the European Jews, their fellow religionists, becoming known today as the "Ashkenazi Jews," and constituting 95% of world Jewry.  The rest is history.  Knowing this may answer a great deal of your questions and pain.  We have much on this matter on this Website, try our Search our site.
 

We have as a free E-book, The authoritative book on the Khazars, written by a Jewish fellow named Arthur Koestler (now deceased):

The Thirteenth Tribe by Arthur Koestler  This book traces the history of the ancient Khazar Empire, a major but almost forgotten power in Eastern Europe, which in the Dark Ages became converted to Judaism. Khazaria was finally wiped out by the forces of Genghis Khan, but evidence indicates that the Khazars themselves migrated to Poland and formed the cradle of Western Jewry…

The Khazars’ sway extended from the Black Sea to the Caspian, from the Caucasus to the Volga, and they were instrumental in stopping the Muslim onslaught against Byzantium, the eastern jaw of the gigantic pincer movement that in the West swept across northern Africa and into Spain.

...but that does not alter the fact that the large majority of surviving Jews in the world is of Eastern European — and thus perhaps mainly of Khazar — origin. If so, this would mean that their ancestors came not from the Jordan but from the Volga, not from Canaan but from the Caucasus, once believed to be the cradle of the Aryan race; and that genetically they are more closely related to the Hun, Uigur and Magyar tribes than to the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

     Should this turn out to be the case, then the term “anti-Semitism” would become void of meaning, based on a misapprehension shared by both the killers and their victims. The story of the Khazar Empire, as it slowly emerges from the past, begins to look like the most cruel hoax which history has ever perpetrated. ― Arthur Koestler, The Thirteenth Tribe; pg.17.

 

Peace.

Birth Control, Abortion: Are certain Birth-Control Methods (certain kinds of "The Pill," IUD', etc.) actually "mini" Abortions?

 

A reader writes:

This is a totally sincere question from someone (me)
trying to understand. I imagine many others would like
to hear your thoughts on it.  I know we have had our
differences but I really respect the thoughtful
analysis you have brought to many subjects.

I agree with you that abortion is a sin. But what
about birth control? No matter how you slice it, the
Bible seems to be saying that the vast majority of
people are going to hell. For arguments sake, lets say
it is 99 out of 100. That means that for every one
hundred births you prevent, you are saving 99 future
souls from eternal torment. It sounds like a mercy
second only to God's Grace. So how could it possibly
be wrong?

I know this reasoning sounds crazy, but I don't
understand what is wrong with it.

I'd really like to see a discussion item about this.

Answer:

"I agree with you that abortion is a sin."

Exodus 21:22-24
22 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit [fetus] depart from her [die stillborn, spontaneously abort], and yet no mischief follow [no intent]: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
23 And if any mischief [intent] follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,  KJV

"But what about birth control?"

Genesis 38:8-10
8 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed [conceive a child] to thy brother.
9 And Onan knew that the seed [child] should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto [sexual intercourse] his brother's wife, that he spilled it [his semen] on the ground, lest that he should give seed [conceived child] to his brother.
10 And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.  KJV

"No matter how you slice it, the Bible seems to be saying that the vast majority of people are going to hell. For arguments sake, lets say it is 99 out of 100."

Matthew 7:13-14
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate , and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.  KJV

Hebrews 9:27
27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:  KJV

"That means that for every one hundred births you prevent, you are saving 99 future souls from eternal torment. It sounds like a mercy second only to God's Grace. So how could it possibly be wrong?"

Luke 1:41-44
41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe [John the Baptist] leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe [JTB] leaped in my womb for joy.  KJV

babe: Greek word #1025 brephos (bref'-os); of uncertain affin.; an infant (properly, unborn) literally or figuratively: KJV - babe, (young) child, infant.

mother: Greek word #3384  meter (may'-tare); apparently a primary word; a "mother" (literally or figuratively, immed. or remote): KJV - mother.

Lord:  Greek word #2962  kurios (koo'-ree-os); from kuros (supremacy); supreme in authority, i.e. (as noun) controller; by implication, Mr. (as a respectful title): KJV - God, Lord, master, Sir.

Luke 1:31
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.  KJV

Luke 1:36
36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.  KJV

son: Greek word #5207  huios (hwee-os'); apparently a primary word; a "son" (sometimes of animals), used very widely of immediate, remote or figuratively, kinship: KJV - child, foal, son.

conceive: Greek word #4815  sullambano (sool-lam-ban'-o); from NT:4862 and NT:2983; to clasp, i.e. seize (arrest, capture); specifically, to conceive (literally or figuratively); by implication, to aid:  KJV - catch, conceive, help, take. 

barren: Greek word #4723  steiros (sti'-ros); a contraction from NT:4731 (as stiff and unnatural); "sterile":  KJV - barren.

Another Husband's pornography destroying yet another Wife and family

 

A reader writes:

Nick,

...and I have read your website forever it seems. I need a little help…I am desperate. I wrote to you before and I just need a shoulder. My husband and I have [many] children. . . problem is that my husband does not really care about SEEING what pornography is doing to our marriage…with live sex chats and sex phone calls I cannot bear the pain and now he wants group sex…I am getting personal but this is personal. I need to know what our Father would do? I pray constantly and no changes are coming to my husband. I know he has his own freewill but isn’t there a point where God will HELP ME? I’m in tears and my heart is shattered because I am torn between the God I love and the man I love…what comes first is God. I also realize that the easy way out is to separate…I don’t want to do that. I feel like the one lost sheep is my husband. Anyhow…pray for me please!

Kind Regards, your sister in Christ Yashua, Xxxxxxxxx

 

Answer:

Matthew 19:18
18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,  KJV

Genesis 18:32
32 And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.  KJV

Genesis 19:24-25
24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.  KJV

Romans 13:1-5
13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers . For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.  KJV

• Is sex within marriage only for having children?

• Masturbation, does the Bible speak against it?

• Sexuality, Marriage, and Pornography

• "Suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man," was God just kidding?  Also: Feminism/Lesbianism/whoredom/abortion

• Does the Bible prohibit birth control? 

UPDATE:  There appears to be some good news in the above case.  I can't print all of her letter without giving out personal info, but I can post one pertinent part.  And this may be premature, but any good news is good news indeed.  The above reader wrote back, about three weeks after she wrote the above.  Below is an excerpt from that E-mail:

"After our last emails regarding the stupid lies of porn, it appears as though the grace of God has came over my husband even if for a time it has slowed down. The demons that cause this lie that everything is fine with porn just need to stay away from my family."

     Well that is good news indeed.  Praise God!  What a change from the hard-hearted husband of just three weeks ago!  And may God continue with your husband's deliverance―in Jesus Christ's precious name!

The Catholic's Marian Worship (with a picture of the Idolatry)

 

A reader writes:

Just wanted to let you know that if there are Catholics out there worshipping Mary, then they are going AGAINST the teaching of the Catholic Church. 

Catholics are supposed to REVERE (honor and love) Mary as the mother of our Lord.  We also will pray to Mary and ask her to INTERCEDE for us with God, in the same way that one would ask a dear friend to pray for them. 

Honoring Mary as the Mother of our Lord is BIBLICAL.  Luke 1:48-  ........for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

Please, if you have questions about the Catholic Religion, read the Catechism of the Catholic Church.  There are many misunderstandings about what Catholics believe.  The Catholic Faith is not just based on the Bible, but on the verbal Tradition that Paul told us to hold to.  Do not be so swift to judge.  Jesus warned us against that.

I just wanted to let you know what Catholics are supposed to believe.  If you REALLY want to learn about the Catholic religion, read Rome Sweet Home, by Scott Hahn.  You'll learn a lot about Bible teachings and the Catholic Church.  (If you are really interested in the TRUTH)

 

Answer:

"Just wanted to let you know that if there are Catholics out there worshipping Mary, then they are going AGAINST the teaching of the Catholic Church."

"Catholics are supposed to REVERE (honor and love) Mary as the mother of our Lord."

"We also will pray to Mary and ask her to INTERCEDE for us with God, in the same way that one would ask a dear friend to pray for them.  Honoring Mary as the Mother of our Lord is BIBLICAL.  Luke 1:48- ........for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed."

1 Timothy 2:5
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;  KJV 

1 John 2:1
2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:  KJV

Acts 4:12-13
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.  KJV 

1 Corinthians 3:11
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.  KJV

King James Version

Genesis 3:15
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it [Eve's Seed—ultimately Jesus] shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his [Jesus'] heel. 

Douay-Rheims version (1914 version, P.J. Kennedy & Sons; "Printers To The Holy See")

Genesis 3:15
15 And I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she [Mary] shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her [Mary's] heel.

"Please, if you have questions about the Catholic Religion, read the Catechism of the Catholic Church.  There are many misunderstandings about what Catholics believe."

"The Catholic Faith is not just based on the Bible,"

"but on the verbal Tradition that Paul told us to hold to."

Galatians 1:6-9
6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.  KJV

Mark 7:9
9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.  KJV

"Do not be so swift to judge.  Jesus warned us against that."

2 Timothy 4:2-4
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. [That's BIBLE not Catechism!]
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.  KJV

"I just wanted to let you know what Catholics are supposed to believe."

Is "The Baptism of the Holy Spirit" Biblical?  Also: "Laying on of Hands"

 

A reader writes:

Answer:

John 7:37-39
37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)  KJV

Leviticus 19:31
31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.  KJV 

Leviticus 20:6
6 And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.  KJV 

1 Samuel 28:3
3 Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.  KJV 

Isaiah 19:3
3 And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.  KJV [a stern word to today's Catholics, as well; for, they do both these evils!]

John 3:16-18
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.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.  KJV

Testimony: God often blesses and answers prayers through strangers; have you ever been used that way?

 

     This is not really a Q & A, but rather a testimony.  I picked the below testimonial up on a Christian talk forum, was moved by it, and decided to share it here.

     Most times, when God blesses us He uses other people to deliver that blessing.  You may never know how much an answer to a prayer it was when you handed a homeless person $5.00 who wasn't asking you for it.  You just handed it to him as you walked by, and said "This is in Jesus' name," and kept walking, never looking back.  You cannot know if he had just got done crying out to God how hungry he was, or for whatever other need he had of it.  Such it is with the thousands of acts of random kindness that Christians do silently day by day—never asking to be noticed or recognized.  Have you ever strategically laid $10.00 down where you knew one who needed it would find it—then leave before they found it?  Have you ever secretly paid someone else's bill and then left before they could thank you?  I hope so; for, it is such a blessing to do so.  For those who have, they know:

Matthew 6:1-4
Take heed that ye do not your alms [gift/charity] before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4 That thine alms may be in secret : and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.  KJV

     It's not so much the amount of the alm (gift/charity) but rather the timing and spontaneity.  When you are open to God's voice, He will use you in little ways like that.  Some people say that they don't give money to homeless people because, "Oh, they will just buy booze with it."  That is just an excuse not to part with their $$$, and Christians who act like that also have their reward.  Besides, sometimes a broken heart or depressing situation is eased with a drink.  Have you never sought comfort in an escape of one manner or another?    Let God judge the hearts of man.
 

A Testimonial (Author unknown [as is fitting, I suppose])

One of our Sisters sent this to me today and I wanted to share it with all my Sisters and Brothers.

The Big Wheel In September 1960, I woke up one morning with six hungry babies and just 75 cents in my pocket.  Their father was gone.  The boys ranged from three months to seven years; their sister was two. Their Dad had never been much more than a presence they feared.

Whenever they heard his tires crunch on the gravel driveway they would scramble to hide under their beds. He did manage to leave $15 a week to buy groceries.  Now that he had decided to leave, there would be no more beatings, but no food either.

If there was a welfare system in effect in southern Indiana at that time, I certainly knew nothing about it.  I scrubbed the kids until they looked brand new and then put on my best homemade dress, loaded them into the rusty old 51 Chevy and drove off to find a job.  The seven of us went to every factory, store and restaurant in our small town.  No luck.  The kids stayed crammed into the car and tried to be quiet while I tried to convince whomever would listen that I was willing to learn or do anything.  I had to have a job.

Still no luck.  The last place we went to, just a few miles out of town, was an old Root Beer Barrel drive-in that had been converted to a truck stop.  It was called the Big Wheel.

An old lady named Granny owned the place and she peeked out of the window from time to time at all those kids.  She needed someone on the graveyard shift, 11 at night until seven in the morning.  She paid 65 cents an hour, and I could start that night.

I raced home and called the teenager down the street that baby-sat for people.  I bargained with her to come and sleep on my sofa for a dollar a night.  She could arrive with her pajamas on and the kids would already be asleep.

This seemed like a good arrangement to her, so we made a deal.  That night when the little ones and I knelt to say our prayers, we all thanked God for finding Mommy a job.  And so I started at the Big Wheel.

When I got home in the mornings I woke the baby-sitter up and sent her home with one dollar of my tip money--fully half of what I averaged every night.

As the weeks went by, heating bills added a strain to my meager wage.

The tires on the old Chevy had the consistency of penny balloons and began to leak.  I had to fill them with air on the way to work and again every morning before I could go home.

One bleak fall morning, I dragged myself to the car to go home and found four tires in the back seat.  New tires!  There was no note, no nothing, just those beautiful brand new tires.  Had angels taken up residence in Indiana?  I wondered.

I made a deal with the local service station.  In exchange for his mounting the new tires, I would clean up his office.  I remember it took me a lot longer to scrub his floor than it did for him to do the tires.  I was now working six nights instead of five and it still wasn't enough.

Christmas was coming and I knew there would be no money for toys for the kids.

I found a can of red paint and started repairing and painting some Old toys.  Then hid them in the basement so there would be something for Santa to deliver on Christmas morning.  Clothes were a worry too.  I was Sewing patches on top of patches on the boys pants and soon they would be too far gone to repair.

On Christmas Eve the usual customers were drinking coffee in the Big Wheel.  These were the truckers, Les, Frank, and Jim, and a state trooper named Joe.

A few musicians were hanging around after a gig at the Legion and were dropping nickels in the pinball machine.  The regulars all just sat around and talked through the wee hours of the morning and then left to get home before the sun came up.

When it was time for me to go home at seven o'clock on Christmas morning, to my amazement, my old battered Chevy was filled full to the top with boxes of all shapes and sizes.  I quickly opened the driver's side door, crawled inside and kneeled in the front facing the back seat.

Reaching back, I pulled off the lid of the top box.  Inside was whole Case of little blue jeans, sizes 2-10! I looked inside another box: It was full of shirts to go with the jeans.  Then I peeked inside some of the other boxes.

There was candy and nuts and bananas and bags of groceries.

There was an enormous ham for baking, and canned vegetables and potatoes.

There was pudding and Jell-O and cookies, pie filling and flour.  There was whole bag of laundry supplies and cleaning items.  And there were five toy trucks and one beautiful little doll.

As I drove back through empty streets as the sun slowly rose on the most amazing Christmas Day of my life, I was sobbing with gratitude.

And I will never forget the joy on the faces of my little ones that precious morning.

Yes, there were angels in Indiana that long-ago December.  And they all hung out at the Big Wheel truck stop.... THE POWER OF PRAYER.  I believe that God only gives three answers to prayer:

1. "Yes!"
2. "Not yet."
3. "I have something better in mind."

God still sits on the throne, the devil is a liar.  You maybe going through a tough time right now but God is getting ready to bless you in a way that you cannot imagine.

This prayer is powerful, and prayer is one of the best gifts we receive.

There is no cost but a lot of rewards.  Let's continue to pray for one another.  Here is the prayer:.... Father, I ask You to bless my friends, relatives and email buddies reading this right now.  Show them a new revelation of Your love and power. Amen.

Amen!  Thank you whoever you are for sharing that.

Are Christians with salt and conviction, not displaying "fruit of the Holy Spirit" when they get upset at satan's little world here?

 

A reader writes:

Dear Nick,  I sent the attached message to you about a month ago, and have never heard from you since.  I hope you are all right.  Also, I hope I did not say anything that offended you.  If I did, then under the commandment of Matthew 5:23-24, I seek to work out whatever problem I may have created.

Sincerely, Xxxxxxx

PS--I have been reading your more recent postings, as well as articles posted on many different identity* web sites.  Most are full of interesting and challenging information, but it is sad that there seems to be so little fruit of the Holy Spirit among so many of these people.  They are angry, hostile, and belligerent--often toward one another, as much as toward their outside enemies.  Have you noticed this?  (I'm NOT including you in this criticism!)

[* "Christian Identity" is Christians who know that true Israel is the Anglo-Saxon and kindred peoples, and that the so-called "Jews" of today are impostors usurping Jacob's blessings and the Bible, and corrupting God's instructions, and disannulling God's only true religion—Christianity (and blaspheming Jesus Christ along the way, to boot)]

Answer:

"but it is sad that there seems to be so little fruit of the Holy Spirit among so many of these people"

Are "Jews for Jesus," and other such Jewish "Messianic" organizations nothing more than new wine in old bottles, a new patch on an old garment?

 

Note:  Below is a segment from a reader that was included in another topic.  We separated it and gave it its own Q&A because it is of an entirely different subject matter than the other part of his Q&A (no, it is not the Q&A above this one).  Below is our response to him:
 

Luke 5:33-39
33 And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?
34 And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
35 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
36 And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent , and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old.
37 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.
38 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.
39 No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.  KJV

Ezekiel 18:29-32
29 Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal?
30 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit [the Holy Spirit (present among men only in Christians)]: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.  KJV

Acts 13:13-52

13 Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.
14 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.
15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
16 Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.
17 The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.
18 And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.
19 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.
20 And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
21 And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.
22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.  [Ps 89:20]
23 Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
24 When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
25 And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.
26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.
28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.
29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.
30 But God raised him from the dead:
31 And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.
32 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,
33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.  [Ps 2:7]
34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.  [Isa 55:3]
35 Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.  [Ps 16:10]
36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.  [Hab 1:5]
42 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.
43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
44 And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.  [Isa 49:6]
48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
49 And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.
50 But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.
51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.
52 And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost [the Holy Spirit]. KJV  

    Thus fulfilling “A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit  [the Holy Spirit] will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.”  (Ezek 36:26). 

 

     Compare that to the admonition to YOU: “Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin. Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make [take in] you a new heart and a new spirit [the Holy Spirit]: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?” (Ezek 18:30-32)

 

Why will you die? 

 

Will you?

 

You don't have to die, you know:

John 14:6

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.  KJV

 

John 10:27-30

27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

30 I and my Father are one.  KJV

PS:  You also said:

"I know we have had our
differences but I really respect the thoughtful
analysis you have brought to many subjects."

     You do know that is the highest for of flattery, don't you?  When someone who is not in agreement with you still values your input, there can be no better compliment.

     But if you "really respect the thoughtful analysis" that I have "brought to many subjects", then maybe you might have to, at some point, consider the possibility that I am correct?

Peace.
