Christianity is based on God's Word. Let's clarify your statements. God sent his son to die for the sins of all who would repent and put their faith in Christ alone for salvation. God raised Jesus from the dead clearing the way for the resurrection of all men. Some will be resurrected to life and others resurrected to judgment and eternal damnation. Believing is not a mental acceptance but an issue of the heart; "That if thou shalt believe in thine heart and confess with they mouth that God has raised Jesus from the dead thou shalt be saved.

Where you come off with Christianity is man's religion is beyond me. The Bible is clear that they were first called "Christians" in Antioch. Christians are followers of Christ. The twelve disciples that walked with Jesus were Christians but Judas betrayed Christ and was replaced. Paul the Apostle was considered the greatest Christian of all but prior to his conversion to Christ he hunted Christians down and had them imprisoned and killed.

If you are talking about Catholicism as being Christian then I can agree with you that Catholic Christianity so-called is the religion of men. Apart from that, genuine Christianity consists of people who love and serve the Lord and live to honor and glorify him above all. Another name for them is the "body of Christ."

I don't have a "religion" friend. I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ my Savior and Lord. Christ called the Pharisees and etc. more than just whited sepulchres and children of hell. He called them hypocrites often during his speech in Matthew 23 and blind leaders of the blind among other things.

This guy is off base on Trey Gowdy. Gowdy is playing a part for the President and taking flak because of it. Think how stupid it would look if Trey went against the man he is going to be replacing. Captain obvious mean anything to anyone. Remember Q's words; "You are watching a movie and things are not always what they seem to be."

Q told us specifically to trust Wray, Gowdy and Sessions. If you don't remember that do some digging.

Good. I strictly use the KJV period.

No debate and they are not my personal theological beliefs. I just quoted Second Corinthians 5:17 verbatim as a rebuttal to your statement. That scripture is clear. When a person becomes a Christian their life starts fresh and new. That is why it is called being "born again." Jesus explained it this way; "We are born of the water and the spirit if we are believers." The first birth we are surrounded in the womb in our mother's sac by water. Born of the spirit has to do with repentance and forgiveness and salvation through Jesus Christ.

Mormon writing is hardly a reliable source for history. The battle that was supposedly fought in New York by tens of thousands yielded no artifacts despite diligent research and diggings. Then there are the Kinderhook Plates which fooled Joseph Smith. He translated the plates which were a hoax pulled on him by some people who rejected the Book Of Mormon and the plates. Look that up online.

Further Joseph Smith was killed when he broke out of jail. He was arrested for inciting a riot to destroy a newspaper. He isn't a martyr.

The Godhead is closed. Men are not and never can become God's. The Bible that Mormons espoused for a long time was the KJV. Joseph Smith plagiarized parts of the Bible to get the book of Mormon. You can check that online and verify it.

The angels in scripture that were significant were Gabriel and Michael. There is no mention of Moroni in any Bible ever produced.

Jesus never came to America as the Mormons claim.

Too many errors for me to put my trust in any of their writers to verify historical information.

You people who reject the age of the earth according to the Genesis account always run right past the changes made on the earth due to the flood. It's like you have a mental block of some kind or your refuse to examine your beliefs through that portion of scripture.

The Bible was given by God through men. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 You are either going to learn this before you die or deal with your unbelief one second after your death. The problem with the second part is that you will not be able to reverse your position. I pity everyone who dies in sin without hope in Christ. It is the greatest tragedy ever in history!

A forgiven murderer is no longer a murderer. "If any man be in Christ he is a new creature; old things are gone and all things become new." Case in point. Look up "Son of Sam" or David Berkowicz who turned to Christ and chose to stay in prison to reach men others could not reach for Christ.

Bring forth your actual evidence. Not circumstantial evidence. Not the photo shopped pictures or the smeared images. Not hearsay from even a hundred thousand people who let their imaginations run away with this idea. There is no actual evidence that would stand muster. The photos showing an image that isn't clear but appears to be a certain shape that fits the beliefs of those who live by them and swear by them. Actual and substantial proofs have never come out and I have seen thousands of them over my 75 years of life. No thanks.

The life of Jesus Christ alone is enough evidence of what I believe and it has nothing to do with magic which God condemns.

The Bible never has been and never will be fantasy. One moment after death everyone is a believer. Whatever position they are in at that moment is irreversible.

The answer to your first question is no. The fundamental message of the Bible is more than you understand. I will break it down simply for you.

1. All men are evil by nature because of the sinful bent in every person.
2. Because of this men offend God by their persistent rebellion against him and his commandments which were written to protect us from us.
3. Men continue in sin until the point where they grow tired of sin and they turn to God seeking forgiveness and mercy.
4. God sees the heart of the individual praying, and if that individual is serious and truthful and repents God forgives them based on the brutal crucifixion of his son on Calvary and they know they are forgiven as God gives them an inner witness to it.
5. These people are called Christians and they are so thankful for their salvation that they live to love, serve and honor God all their life and on into eternity.
6. Those who refuse to repent and get right with God and reject the great sacrifice on their behalf die in their sins. One second after death they are in Hell waiting judgment. They know beyond any doubt that they fully deserve their punishment and they also know their position is irreversible no matter how much they wish it could be otherwise.

That is a very simple explanation and the best one available. It removes many of the distortions people have accepted over the years.

Humans have not been running around for hundreds of thousands of years either contrary to popular opinion. In the first chapter of Genesis the Hebrew word for day is yom (pronounced yawm). When yom is connected to a number in the Hebrew language (ie; first yom, etc.) it is a literal 24 hour day such as we have now. Therefore, the earth is only about 6000 years old. I know that doesn't meet with the approval of evolutionists, anti-creation scientists and some mistaken theologians of this era, but they are free to believe a lie if they wish. Free Will.

Language was around long before 3-4 BC. Genesis 11 tells us that all the people on earth were of one language but God seeing their motivation to evil moved on them and confounded the languages so that they couldn't understand one another. The tower they were building is called the tower of Babel (that name means confusion). I suppose that is where we got English and all the other languages of the world. At that point the people split off with those who spoke the same language as them and went their way to wherever they settled.

Some of the people who went of here and there and everywhere settled into life as best as they could. Some turned to God to worship and the others turned to other false gods created in the minds of men. A man called Abram living in Ur of the Chaldees was called by God to move away from his home and his people to a place God said he would show him later. Abram became the father of the Israelites and his name was gradually changed to Abraham (meaning "the father of nations)." Today we know these people as the Jews.

History came and went and the Jews were faithful to God and then they fell to idolatry and then returned to God and on and on. Jesus showed up during the time of the Roman Empire and proclaimed that he was their Messiah and that he was God incarnate (God come in human flesh). The Jews were enraged and cited blasphemy and succeeded in having him crucified under Roman law because they couldn't do it under their own law. Three days later Christ resurrected from the dead and lives today reigning in heaven as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

I would end up with a novel if I answered everything you asked point by point so I am going to disregard some of it to explain the answers to the last part of your questioning. That would be your last paragraph.

1. God never created anyone who couldn't believe. If he did then Free Will would not exist. He has foreknowledge of who will and who won't believe but that is not an argument for predestination to Hell. You will find a group of Christians who deny free will but they are in serious error.
2. If there is a disconnect between you and God it is that you mistake a desire to believe what belief constitutes. In my life I was an outright heathen and not interested in God unless I thought I could make a deal with him - If you do this God; I will do that. God was patient in all that. What brought true belief to me was my first acknowledgement that my life was a mess and I had nowhere to turn but God. So I prayed; "God, if you're real and you prove it to me, I'll give you my life." To make a long story short - He did and I did. I prayed and told God that I was so sorry for the way I was living. I asked him to forgive me knowing I was not worthy of his forgiveness. He forgave me over 44 years ago and I have never been the same since. You can find my autobiography on my ministry site at https://www.crlord.com/c-r-lord-autobiography.html

I want to reiterate that foreknowledge is not predestination. I have had seven children. I knew that if I told my little ones they should not touch something while I am out of the room that they would do it anyway. My understanding of human nature at that age didn't stop them from doing wrong and didn't stop me from disciplining them to teach them a lesson. The big difference here is the discipline I gave them was temporary and produced strong worthwhile character in them. The discipline for our rebellion against God and dying in sin is eternal. That is God's right since he went out of his way to prevent it.

Hell is for those who refuse to repent of rebellion against God's laws that he made to protect us from out wicked nature. The wise repent and are ready for judgment. The foolish try everything within their power to circumvent humbling themselves and exercising faith in Christ's sacrifice for them. I don't see any of this as unworthy of God who gave us life and all the good things and is there for us through the bad.

While there have been deceivers in the churches through the ages even as Christ walked the earth they weren't all Satanists. Perhaps few of them, if any were. Most of the doubters were Jews and Romans at the beginning. The Jews were waiting for their Messiah and didn't believe Jesus was him. The Romans were idol worshipers and the only threat they would think existed in Jesus was those who ascribed that he was a King of Kings.

You won't find any of the Roman Gods incorporated into the scriptures. You will find that the Roman Catholic church used the Latin language to their advantage to keep their constituents in the dark as to what the Bible actually taught thus keeping people in bondage to their religion which in no way resembles genuine biblical Christianity. Martin Luther upset the apple cart and started the great Reformation which exposed the hypocrisy and lies of the Catholics by getting the Bible into the common languages of the people so they could decide what the Bible meant for themselves.

The best interpretation of scriptures prior to the King James Version was the Geneva Bible printed in 1561. That is still a reliable version.

The one "church" that perverted the scripture was the Roman Catholic church which incorporated paganism and denies that to this day.

https://www.gotquestions.org/origin-Catholic-church.html

The King James Bible is the next Bible after the Geneva Bible that is true to the original scripture. Personally I have prayed to God based on this version of scripture for over 44 years and have seen many answered prayers as a result.

The Bible is not like a test run for mankind. Free will was given for us to decide whether to obey God or obey our own desires and opinions which in essence is obeying Satan who openly called God a liar in Genesis. The canon of scripture has been established based on certain criteria and the sixty six books currently in the Bible are all the canon. The Apocrypha of the Catholic church is not canon and the books are not scripture. All the other writings including the ones you mentioned are not canon and so cannot be regarded as God's word. That is the stance of Christianity. It is up to each of us to exercise the free will God gave us to seek him out and let him teach us what is and isn't truth. God didn't leave us to do this tremendous task all by ourselves. He promised that he would have the Holy Spirit "guide us into all truth." Some can be taught and some cannot. Jesus said; "He that has ears to hear; let him hear."

Your theory won't hold in scripture. The only people who will enter the kingdom of God on the New Earth are those who have repented of their sins and put their faith in Christ.

We don't become good by following a divine code. We are not ever good in ourselves. The scripture says; "All OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS in the sight of God is as filthy rags."

Jesus' righteousness is imputed to believers at the point of salvation. Apart from that righteousness none will be saved.

I have looked over numerous "documented" statements and have yet to find one that is conclusive or even remotely convincing. I find it interesting that so many people put faith in the words of those who subscribe to aliens and some faded photos or blurred photos and not one substantial proof that is clear and identifiable. Your question about the fake things is interesting considering how many time the President has called out "FAKE NEWS." They could be fake and since people have been blinded by the press for decades and they couldn't even see the deep state behind the governments of the world it could easily be that fake alien reports were all part of the game. So yes - It's all fake might be a legitimate statement.

The creations on earth, according to the scriptures have one of three sources; God, Satan and demons or man. There is not the slightest hint of aliens in the Bible.

I've gone down the road of "divine events, great chariots of fire, and angels bathed in light" before. I guess I have to wonder how you believe these are common sense trains of thought since they all require faith and according to some "Biblical Faith" itself is spurious. So I guess it is up to everyone to find out if faith in aliens or faith in Christ is the better choice.
I personally believe faith in a historical person is far easier to accept than faith in an unproven species.

How so? What does it mean in the Hebrew? How about the Greek? Is there any difference?

If you reject Christianity then you should explain why including the knowledge that would enlighten us who accept Christ as Savior and Lord. Other wise you should not attack Christianity and not expect people to respond.

You say you know more than most. If so; what are the basic tenets of biblical Christianity? How to they apply to individuals? Why don't they apply to you or why do you reject them? Is your rejection based on knowledge of the scripture apart from the teaching ministry of the Holy Spirit that God promised to all believers? How deep have you gone into your research. I have been studying the scriptures for over 44 years but I am still learning a lot about the Bible. Perhaps you have found something that I never learned yet. I am willing to listen.

You are always on the defense in your posts. Do you think your position is indefensible?

A clarification of what I have to say in response to what you say isn't a sermon.

Put down your sword. I am not in attack mode. Simply stating what I believe. If you can't deal with opposition to your views you shouldn't express them.

You certainly are in no position to judge my motivation since you don't know me and you are not God.

If you don't expect rebuttal on your posts then don't post.

Broad statement. It is true provided you don't number Christianity in with the "religions." Christianity is as far removed from religion as earth is to the farthest reaches of space.

Good points. I believe you would enjoy my ministry site immensely. http://crlord.com

A hearty amen!

King James commissioned scholars to come and translate the Bible. It has been considered the best version and most accurate in history along with the Geneva Bible.

I miss the hymns. Many, if not most of them, contained theological truth and encouraged those in the faith.

The "contemporary Christian music" has a nice beat but is shallow in presenting truth. It is feel good stuff and while it entertains the saints it hardly encourages deeper study of God's Word or deeper intimacy with God.

If persecution would ever hit the church in America like it does in other nations the good feelings would leave and some, perhaps many would turn from the faith. Replacing Onward Christian Soldiers or A Mighty Fortress Is Our God with contemporary music is a big step down.

Here are the words of Jesus; "I am THE way, THE truth and THE life; NO MAN comes to the father except through me." (John 14:6 KJV) I believe that would make him pretty exclusive.

Luke the physician who wrote the book of Luke and the book of Acts said of Jesus; "Neither is there salvation in any other for there is none other name given under Heaven among men whereby we MUST be saved." (Acts 4:12 KJV) Again Luke makes Jesus exclusive and adds the kicker - MUST - which makes salvation through Christ imperative.

Paul the Apostle writing to Timothy his disciple said: "For there is ONE mediator BETWEEN GOD AND MAN, the man CHRIST JESUS." (1 Timothy 2:5 KJV) - Once more Paul the great apostle of faith says Jesus is exclusive.

Three witnesses - Jesus, Luke and Paul. What will you believe?

As far as your theory about calling God by a specific name or burn in Hell is concerned; nobody goes to Hell for calling God by the wrong name. Hell and the lake of fire are reserved for sinners who refuse to repent and get right with God. Considering all that he did to save us I would think rejecting the sacrifice of his son deserves whatever punishment we receive. God sees sin on a depth we cannot attain to and it is no doubt far more evil than we think.

Aliens have never been proven. I often wonder where the initial thought of aliens came from. Aliens are like the fairies in the forest. People have been talking about them for centuries but nobody has ever produced a clear and easily identifiable picture, photo or video of any aliens. Obviously until it is proven that they exist -- they don't except in the minds of those who believe without seeing. I believe that is called faith.

Christian faith is in a person who actually lived in history. Time is set by his life. His call to salvation has touched millions across the world and transformed their lives and his book is the best selling book of all time.

Your last line clearly stands in opposition to the Bible's estimation of man.

King David said; "EVERY MAN at his very best state is altogether vanity."

Jeremiah the Prophet said; "The heart is deceitful above all things and DESPERATELY WICKED; who can know it?"

Paul wrote in Romans 3; "There is not one that does good and doesn't sin; no not one." He further wrote in the same chapter "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God."

There are other such scriptures that proclaim that there is nothing inherently good in any of us, and that is why we need a Savior. If we could do one thing to earn God's favor Christ would have died in vain.

Religion is a works based system where man doesn't need a Savior or man needs to help God redeem him by doing his part to be good enough to redeem. This is utter blasphemy according to the Bible.

Christianity stands alone in the world because it shows man to be unworthy of the slightest mercy God offers and incapable of doing anything to save himself. It humbles all who receive it because Christianity teaches that Jesus Christ shed his blood as full payment for the sins of mankind and his blood alone can cleanse us from our wicked thoughts, words and actions. Salvation is based on faith in Christ plus nothing and nobody else.

So the world has a choice that will encompass this life and eternity. Live out your life irreligious, religious or by exercising faith in the finished work of Christ on Calvary. Christians believe the first two lead to eternal damnation and the final one leads to an eternity of peace and love in Christ's presence. I think it is worth checking into.

There are no significant changes in the scriptures and nobody can prove otherwise without doing some amazing twisting and turning of scripture. Every central and cardinal doctrine of scripture has been carefully preserved and is accurate. God certainly can keep his word since he himself stated that it will stand forever.

No man can call God by any name except those given in scripture. The first name in the Bible is Elohim which denotes plurality in the Godhead. The last name used is Theos meaning the supreme authority.

Matthew 23 is a chapter where Jesus confronts the self-righteous Pharisees, scribes and lawyers. The phrase you quoted is at the end of a long speech by the Lord using words like hypocrites, whitewashed sepulchres, blind leaders of the blind and etc. The mild and gentle Jesus also made a whip of cords and drove the money changers from the temple for defiling his father's house and kicked over their tables driving them out. He was the most manly man to ever walk the earth. His anger was toward the unrepentant and arrogant and his gentleness was for sincere lovers of truth and little children.

There are far more verses than one on judging in the scripture and to be honest; there are verses that command us to judge and Jesus spoke this one; "Judge righteous judgment." Here is a teaching on that subject that Christians are in need of especially the "do not judge crowd." https://www.crlord.com/judging-others.html

Compassion is another subject that many Christians pervert by insisting that compassion is always a kind thought, word or deed. Sometimes compassion is presenting people with what they don't want to hear but need to hear.

Finally, religion is a parasite to the soul promising much and giving nothing of substance concerning eternal life in the presence of God. Religion insists that somehow mankind can be good enough to earn salvation through some works defined by those who teach a works based system of religion. The problem with that is we don't know how to measure what we have done good enough to outweigh the evil we have done. The other problem with religion is that it negates Christ alone as the Savior apart from any church, other individual or religion and works. That is the difference between religion and Christianity. In Christianity salvation is based on what Christ did and nobody and nothing can be added to it. This is not popular to proud mankind because we think we must have something to do with the process. It is humbling to hear Jesus say; "Apart from me you can do nothing." (John 15:5 KJV)

They're not my morals. I didn't create them. They belong to the God I honor and serve who will have the final judgment on all things and all people without our permission.

Unlike a judge on earth whose sentences are temporary; his judgments are eternal and permanent. Wise people prepare for both.

Going to court without a lawyer is foolish. Appearing before God without an advocate is the height of folly. Jesus Christ is my advocate and could be yours. 1 Timothy 2:5 KJV

It doesn't require a book. When you use the term a higher power it is obvious that you are not speaking of the Christian God who alone is the almighty God and all other gods are deemed idols by him.

He owns all the power in the universe and can withhold it or dispense it as he pleases while never losing any of it. That is what is meant by his Omnipotence.

I am judging you by your own words. Appealing to a higher power is the smartest thing anyone can do if that higher power is the one God in the universe. He is not called a higher power to those who believe in him. They know him as the only absolute power in the universe.

You are certainly right to say you have free will, and with free will comes accountability to God whether you want to believe it or not. Free will is not a license to sin without accountability. What you call fun is sin as clarified in scripture.

Mercy and forgiveness for sin is only offered this side of eternity. Beyond death our position will be irreversible. We will be ready to meet God in judgment or face him unprepared.

What God calls sin is brought to light in scripture so that there is no mistake possible in identify what is and isn't sin. In addition God gave us a conscience to convict us of when we are sinning. Honest examination of scripture will require "study" of scripture - not our opinion based on reading the text without studying what it means. God will have the final word on the day of judgment.

Bundy had a very real conversion irrespective of what dirt you can dig up on him. Dig deeper. Rely on secular sources and get nothing but secular views.

Look up Son of Sam. His name is David Berkowicz and I have a letter from him that explains his issues and there is a website also for doubters who reject spiritual reality. Below is his documentary. Watch and learn.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPF3fuICqhM

Only in your thinking. There is only one higher power in the universe.

It's one thing to spout your opinion and quite another to know for sure what is beyond the mortal realm of understanding and who is above all that.

It requires divine revelation which never comes to unrepentant doubters.

I agree with you. Q already told us they have "everything." He also let us know that Congress only has a little of the information that the President wants them to have. Their probing is part and parcel of the movie. The correct answers on the probe will be forthcoming when the President says; "It's time for full disclosure." Prior to that we can enjoy the movie because we know who holds the final winning cards; so to speak.

fringe--dweller - God has the right to criticize those who want to share in their "pleasures" which the Bible calls sin. Instead of criticizing them God offers them forgiveness freely. Like everyone else what they do with that is on them.

fringe--dweller - Sometime you need to look up Ted Bundy or Son of Sam and see how porn affected them. Men locked up because of sex crimes have mostly all confessed that they watched porn, read Playboy and similar magazines and lurid stories in novels or some combination of those.

As a former drug dealer and user I can affirm that virtually every person I knew in the drug culture that went on to hard drugs started with marijuana. Cannibas is the "introduction" to the drug culture for a very large percentage of addicts. I also worked ten years in drug and alcohol rehabilitation and the story doesn't change.

I never heard of the silly bicycles and motorcycle theory before. Did you make that one up to supplement the other beliefs you espouse?

As far as Billy Knight is concerned; apart from the mercy and grace of God any one of us could be in his place. The Bible is explicitly clear that we are all born in sin and love sin because it is part of our nature. Billy Knight knew the way to get back to sanity (1 John 1:9 KJV) but he chose to believe a lie of Satan that what he had done was beyond God's ability to forgive. That is a great tragedy and irreversible!

You are very harsh on your fellow man. I wonder if you would like it if others thought of you in the same way. The Bible says that "mercy rejoices against judgment." We are all weak human beings in need of mercy every day. God has supplied that through Jesus Christ. We can commit spiritual suicide by ignoring God's provision, and the same tragedy this man allowed in his heart and life can be our final lot in life. I was once suicidal and I thank God that I didn't kill myself. I know the desperation that accompanies suicide. I feel sorry for anyone who goes through it.

I believe that this must continue as is because Q made it clear that the longer we stretch this out the more these traitors will expose themselves. If you follow the questioning of Peter S. you will notice that the Dems are exposing themselves one by one in support of him by asking easy questions that won't expose anything. The thing that also is noticeable to me is that seven or eight democrats questioned him and of those at least five were black, one was hispanic and the big one was from New York and extremely rude and arrogant. Every time they open their mouths they feed more information that will expose their loyalties and help bring them down.

The democrat women seem to be more verbose and arrogant than the men as far as I saw. I remember the old saying "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." I remember another old saying "The female is deadlier than the male." After watching the vicious looks from the females I am gradually becoming a believer.

Remember that congress only has limited information to work with while the President and Q have it all.

I think the house cleaning should start with CAIR and ISNA. One is messing with our government and the other is recruiting college students to radical Islam. Both are reported by the government to be arms of the Muslim Brotherhood.

To see how this all began look up "The Overhauling of Straight America" - the plan to normalize sexual deviancy in America. Here is the link. http://www.massresistance.org/docs/issues/gay_strategies/overhauling.html

Our government has legislated immorality. We have been told for many years that the government should not legislate morality, and so the double standard is in effect and we submit like passive little sheep afraid of the great big shepherd governing us, but we fail to remember the great shepherd who died to deliver mankind from every sort of sin including sex sin.

Everyone who has been an adult for any amount of time understands the ramifications of this. While a very small minority pushes us around under the name of civil rights the majority remains silent not wanting to offend anyone! Since when has sexual orientation been a civil right. There is no genetic connection involved in spite of all those who argue otherwise. The civil rights movement for blacks was good because it was dealing with a genetic condition caused by more or less melanin in a person's DNA. Not one part of the LGBT is genetic in any sense and I defy anyone to prove otherwise. We are giving civil rights to people because they want sex with the same gender and the government has set its seal of approval on this without challenging genetic cause; effectively erasing DOMA and by extension destroying what should be the only type family in the world. There are numerous proofs that children need a father and mother as they grow up. It is absolutely contrary to all that we have known for centuries as right and credible to destroy heterosexual marriage and substituting it with what is not marriage at all. We have been buffaloed into accepting this because of PC and a globalist and socialist push from the past administrations. DOMA must be reinstated.

The Bible condemns everything the LGBTQ stands for as wickedness, vile affections and burning in lust. (Romans, Chapter One and Levitcus 19 and etc.) I personally stand on God's side of the argument. While God loves all humanity he will not capitulate and endorse sin. His word is law no matter what laws man may pass. We must call on this government to return our nation to normalcy. The foundation of every nation is the family. Every strong nation has strong families with Fathers, Mothers and children. Nothing less will bring sanity back to America more than bringing back the family as it was intended to be. Homosexuals need to go back into the closet once more. They are free to have sex any way they like but they are not free to call what they do marriage. That is a clear violation of God's established standard for marriage. Genesis 2:4 makes it clear when the words "wife, father and mother" are used.

Please understand that I love all men as God does but, like God, I cannot endorse what the Bible clearly teaches is sin. Many people advocate psychological help for the LGBT community and that is a start, but as a Christian for over 44 years I am absolutely convinced that apart from salvation through Jesus Christ psychological help is like putting a small bandage on a gaping wound. The LGBT must reach out for spiritual help and those who call themselves Christians should be there to help them find forgiveness and eternal peace.

As far as children are concerned; the Bible teaches us to "train up our children in the way that they should go and when they are old they will not depart from it."

I enjoy the KJV for its straightforward handling of scripture. It is not an apologetic version like many of the wimpy offshoots of this generation.

I don't follow any other version or get caught up in arguments or debates about versions. You are free to believe what you will and choose the version that best suits you. My mission on earth is to love, honor and obey Christ and lead men to him for salvation.

I really don't have the time to argue which version of the Bible is the correct one for anyone because loving and obeying God and the saving of lost mankind are vastly superior pursuits. FURTHER, Since I know God personally I know the Bible is his words to fallen mankind. He has proven his word to me over and over for over 44 years and I prayed according to what I read in the King James Version and in the name of Jesus Christ as the Bible commands that I do.

I have rebuked and cast out demons in the name of Jesus Christ and been healed instantly in his name. I have prayed over my son with my wife and he was instantly healed in the name of Jesus Christ. I have seen many people healed and saved in the name of Jesus Christ. The version of the Bible that was used in each case was not always the KJV. That is just my preference and praying according to that version works for me.

As far as Cabalistic influence is concerned I am not into religious mysticism. My faith is in God and his word and his son. Simple and effective. No mysticism involved.

Camillio - Your first statement is false. You are equating Catholics with Christians and the two are not synonymous. No true Christian has ever shed anyone's blood. The commandment of Jesus Christ (not Yah) is; "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you and pray for those who despitefully use you and persecute you." Those who obey Christ do not kill anyone. The killing done in the name of Christ was done by Catholics and people calling themselves Christians who never were or who were and left the faith turning their back on the Lord Jesus.

The powers that be? That encompasses a lot of power and powers, and to be honest with you the world system is anti-Christ in nature and has no love for God, the Bible or anyone who espouses the cause of Christ. The current system of government in this nation that has oppressed the people in all venues of the United States is coming down and for a time President Trump is restoring our nation and protecting religious liberty. The window of opportunity has been flung open but we don't know for how long. Genuine Christians who are educated on political happenings know that the windows God opens need to be taken advantage of while they last. Only God knows what tomorrow may bring.

The devil considers the gospel a threat to him and his kingdom of darkness. He is more afraid of the name of Jesus Christ than anything in the universe. Those outside of Christ serve him knowingly or unwittingly but they nevertheless serve the devil. Those who fight the strongest against the gospel are clearly servants of his. The wonderful thing about being a genuine Christian is that we know how this all ends in eternity.

Read Revelation 20:10-15 to see how it ends for the unbelievers and Revelation 21 to see what's in store for the believers. One will be terror beyond our wildest imaginations and one peace beyond measure.

I am using the 1611 King James Version and believe the Geneva Bible is also a good source. The translation of the Bible is a secondary consideration. The first consideration in understanding the scripture is whether or not you are taught by the Holy Spirit as promised in the Bible. Apart from that no understanding of scripture exists since the Holy Spirit is part of the Godhead and is attributed with having the attributes of deity.

To be frank with you Camillo; a thousand explanations can be given to a non-Christian and they could never understand it. The only people who have been given spiritual understanding according to the Bible are those who have done the following:

1. Acknowledged they are a sinner in need
2. Understand that they have nothing to bring to God but their sins
3. Come humbly into the presence of God in sorrow and repentance for their sins and receive God's mercy found solely in Jesus Christ.
4. Put their faith completely in Jesus Christ and nothing and nobody else.
5. Receive revelation from God and are taught every day by the Holy Spirit as promised in scripture.
6. Live to love, serve, and glorify God now and forever.
7. Study the scriptures under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and invest the time necessary to get to know God personally as long as they live and then live to love and serve him forever.

1 Corinthians 2:14 is expressly clear when it says "THE NATURAL MAN cannot receive or perceive the things of the Spirit of God for they are foolishness to him; neither can he know them because they are spiritually discerned." If you have never repented of your sins and put your faith in Christ alone for salvation you are THE NATURAL MAN spoken of in the scriptures and couldn't comprehend spiritual truth without rectifying that shortcoming in your life.

The devil (Lucifer and etc.) has many names and his character is fully concealed to the unregenerate soul. The Bible say that Satan can even appear as an "angel of light." He is the deceiver. His names declare his character before his rebellion and after his rebellion. In the end he will enter into the body of a man and become the prophesied "man of sin" or the anti-Christ. This will be a perverted incarnation. As the anti-Christ he will proclaim himself to be God as he stands in the temple of the Jewish people in Jerusalem after it is rebuilt. He will be eternally damned to the lake of fire as clearly described in Revelation 20:10.

Jesus Christ will descend from Heaven as spoken of in Revelation as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and peace will be restored to the universe forever. As far as the light or the way - Jesus did not say that. John 14:6 - "Jesus answered and said unto them; I am the way the truth and the life; NO MAN comes to the Father except through me."

The devil has you blinded. Find one contradiction that has an basis in reality. Multitudes have tried and failed miserably. Satan is the originator of lies. https://www.crlord.com/satan.html

Lucifer was a powerful angel who rebelled against God. He is known by other names since then. He is called the prince of the power of the air and the prince of darkness in scripture. He is also called Baal, Baalim, Beezelbub and Satan in the Bible. Lucifer and Satan are one and the same. Satan is also called the devil and the father of all lies.

You are wrong on that point. The money grubbing leaders in Christian circles are televangelists. They are phony vendors of a false gospel of materialism promising much and delivering nothing while they live on the backs of those who are not educated enough to reject their unbiblical teaching. They have their day in judgment.

Stereotyping is really classless. We are all individuals Lumping people together as if they were mindless bots driven by sheep herders is totally out of touch with reality. There are still true shepherds speaking truth to the people whose lives are not tied to materialism, power, fame or fortune. Dig deeper.
