Are you ready for the return of Jesus Christ? Have you been cleansed by His blood?

God created man in His own image and with His own likeness and set the first man, Adam, in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. But Adam sinned by disobeying God, and because we are all his children, we have all inherited his sinful nature. Sin is the violation of God’s Law, and the “wages” of sin is death, and so death entered the world and spread to all mankind because all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Thus, we are all justly deserving of everlasting punishment—the destruction of body and soul in hell. But even so, in His love, God already had a plan to save and redeem us.

God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die for us, paying the debt for our sins, so that through Him we may be saved. Unlike us, Jesus was conceived in the womb of a virgin by the Holy Spirit of God and therefore did not share Adam’s sinful nature. A “spotless lamb” in which there was no sin, the perfect and only sacrifice worthy of taking our place. For by the one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the one man’s obedience many will be made righteous.

Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, was crucified and died for our sins, taking upon Himself the punishment we deserve. He was then buried and raised back to life on the third day, in accordance with the scriptures. He then appeared to more than five hundred individuals in the forty days post-resurrection before being taken up into heaven out of their sight and returning to His Father. Fulfilling every one of the many Old Testament prophecies pertaining to Him. He now sits at His Father’s right hand and is awaiting His Father’s instruction to return. This was all recorded in the scriptures contained in the Holy Bible, which is the word of God and is able to save our souls.

Jesus Christ promised that all who believe in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace and not by any merit of our own. Upon His return, all the dead will hear His voice and come to life—those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and later, those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment. Therefore, fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgement, with every secret thing, whether good or evil. Making sure to be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving ourselves.

Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your heart in rebellion. Whoever conceals his sins will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy and forgiveness. If you repent and believe in the gospel, putting your faith in Jesus Christ, you will inherit salvation, which leads to everlasting life. With this salvation comes a necessary spiritual rebirth; God will give you a new heart and His Holy Spirit, which will give you wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, put His Laws on your heart and mind, guide you into all the truth, help you, and comfort you. By the blood of Jesus, sanctifying you and cleansing you of all unrighteousness—conforming you to His image.

In an act of faith, all believers are called to be baptised in water in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. To be buried with Christ by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, you also might walk in newness of life. Having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which He has called you, what are the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of His power towards those who believe. To be called children of God and to dwell with Him for all eternity.

We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the present darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. The devil, who is called Satan, and all his angels, which are also referred to as demons, have been cast out of heaven for their choice to sin and rebel against God. They are our greatest threat in this world, even though at times it may seem like it’s each other. Satan is the spirit that is now at work in all those who are living in disobedience to God. We must be very careful about what we believe, verifying everything against God’s word, for many false prophets and teachers have gone out into the world and are among us like wolves in sheep's clothing, even within churches. But fear not, for God is greater and with us always.

We now await our blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ. He is coming soon with eyes like a flame of fire and all His angels with Him, and every eye will see Him. But concerning that day and hour, no one knows—not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. Therefore, those of us who are eagerly awaiting His appearance must be diligent to be found by Him without spot or blemish and at peace. Counting the patience of the Lord as salvation. There are some things in the scriptures that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction. Take care that you are not carried away by the error of lawless people and fall from your own steadfastness. But grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

And this is another reason so many will support another globalist foreign war, they've dressed it in biblical prophecy. Lots and lots of money is about to be made by the elites. War is profitable.

Shame all the Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist and Pagan tribes of the world will reside in hellfire for eternity for the one true loving God commands it.

But maybe as Mathew 15/23 said Jesus came for the Jews and it would be unfair to take the bread from the children of Israel and cast it to the dogs. Gotta wonder....

That's now changed under the New Covenant now. The gentiles (non-Jew's) are now grafted in.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise. (Galatians 3:28-29 ESV)

See Romans 11 for a more detailed explanation:
www.blueletterbible.org...

So it's "trust in the Lord because he has a divine plan"? Apparently, his perfect plan has failed at several times. Eve and the apple. Having to send Jesus because his finger snapping ability was in the shop. Flooding the world, which is basically rebooting mankind because of too many bugs in the software.

If God created all, he also created imperfection. But, being omnipotent, he didn't have to, he chose to. Then tried all sorts of back peddling and patches to fix the mess he made.

Or, God is just another being, somewhere, that created us, but is not perfect either. God doesn't really need to forgive us, we need to forgive him.

I have been...but... not a billion othérs who've never even heard the "Word". The live, they die, they know nothing of Jesus.

Do they go to hell? Nope...there are many who've lived that never knew or experienced Christianity. They lived their entire lives in HIS absence.

Well? So what you say....isn't necessarily true...not for those.

So...in absence of the Word and or belief in Krishna, Yahweh whomever...you don't, wont or can't get to Heaven? Baloney. Your Christianity is weak. Mine stronger.

Jesus is my Light personally....but Yahweh, Krishna, Budda, Confucious::...Mohammed too...all hold candles and maps to the "God Source"... and they actually have just as much a chance as those washed in the Word.

This is your 1st mistake. Which "Bible" do you read? King James? Mormon? Concordia? Bookstores are filled with many versions, connotated w pictures and explanations.

Methodist ? Catholic version? All...Bibles w the literal "Word of God" in them...but all written differently. So...I've many deceased friends and family who are of different faiths.

So in abcense of hearing the "Word"( WHICH Bible? Koran? Talmud.)...is correct.

All my brother. If any "Source" leads to the Creator Him-Her-Themselves...then it is "of God".

In case you're wondering: G-G-G grandfather was a famous Texas Evangelist in 1850, said to have brought 25,000 to Jesus.

Look him up. The Reverend William "Wild Bill" Evans.

The point missed is Jesus is the only way. But, not true for everyone. Heaven is filled with Rabbis, Mullahs, Buddhists...Hari Krishna's.

You will not win this 1. Not ever. Nor as long as you miss the point that God..knows the difference. God knows the Heart. God knows Intent, denial.

There are many rooms in God's Mansion. And Jesus for many...is not the only way. Don't you see?

God bless you, Jesus Saves! ( So does Budda, Yahweh). Keep readin...youll get it.✌️

Man never gets anything right.
Especially religion.

I can appreciate those that have their faith. Except those that kill (and other bad things) in their gods name, and those that tell others they have to believe as they do, or they are dammed.

My belief in my deity is my own.

a reply to: mysterioustranger

I totally agree with your assessment here, bags of decency exist in those who've never heard or even follow different words. I've personally never fully agreed with any of them but I never ignore good intentions whether a book, a person or even thoughts inspired them.

It's those people who make the difference for others a true God wouldn't disagree with that because they didn't get the correct education... The decency on display is a greater teacher than any book or preached information. Essentially they're living the way and I find that lovely.

You're a believer. I'm a believer and active church goer.

Think for a moment about what you've posted and the question you have posed.

Honestly........is ANYONE truly ready for the return of Christ? Have you thought that thru? Can YOU actually and truthfully say that you're ready for that?

If Jesus the Christ returned today.........what would you say to him?

Will you believe in Jesus this very day and live your life for Him? No?

God doesn't command it at all. People choose to not believe and willfully reject it.

a reply to: TruthJava

I can't choose to believe something that doesn't resonate with my inner compass and otherwise makes no sense. I can lie and tell you I'm a believer and, maybe even make you believe it.

Each person has the same creator. Everyone has a choice. Everyone needs to do their homework. If Muslims payed attention they would notice that the Allah they describe is a sinful fallen being. All of that pagan crap came from those beings. They hate humanity.

There is only one Bible. It has plenty of proof inside, but you have to open it. The Bible is 30% prophecy and 50% of that has already come about exactly as forecast. The other 50% is in process currently.

I believe we may have about 30 days left before we something we have never seen in our lifetime. Did you see that Israel attacked Iran this am? Right on schedule. More evidence is on the way soon.

a reply to: visitedbythem

I have never believed in any gods. None, ever. Like someone else said, you can't be forced to believe in something that not only doesn't resonate with you but which makes no sense to you either.
Just the fact that I get threatened with eternal torture if I don't believe, makes me run away quicker from this angry tyrant god who is no better than humans displaying our worst behaviours.

I am spiritual though. I am fair and polite. I don't steal and I am not violent. I love animals and literally don't even hurt flies.
I am trustworthy and truthful.

Yet apparently I deserve eternal pain, whilst angry religious folk who can be really nasty (I know from family and colleagues) they get to go to heaven?

It makes no sense. It reeks of a manmade threat to get unruly, yet not so clever people to behave out of fear.
It seems to work with some, good. But any adult human who has integrety even when no sky authoritarian is watching doesn't need this kind of nonsense.

When human kind was in it's infancy, when there are still superstitious but uneducated humans about, I understand this parent child arrangement.
But children grow up, they make mistakes, the good ones learn from it and become good parents, on their own.

Yet believers don't seem to grow up at all. They seem to love the idea that a big man watches their every move and punishes them when they try to separate themselves from this 'parent' and learn to stand on their own two feet.

They are perpetual children, like the 30 year olds still living with their parents. It's unnatural.

If there was a truly wise, well meaning omniscient being who made the universe, this being would want us to grow up into decent beings too.

I can't help if I am one of those who are capable of existing without a constant warden, I should be praised, lauded, given a handshake and maybe some positive acknowledgement and not be threatened with the most insane punishment ever.

That I have to listen to the ramblings of eternal children shows me again that there is no wise god and that the idea of one and all the rules are made by humans.

I will go wherever animals go after death. Gladly. Even if there was a heaven, you lot can have it as it would be hell for me to hang about with self-righteous and closedminded minions.

You made up hell, you can burn in it. Nothing to do with me. 🤷🏻‍♀️

People's mental paralysis due to their personal interpretation of their particular religious disposition is what makes it very easy for the elites to manipulate the majority of people on earth.

Religious psychosis is the most valuable condition in a believer.

It turns them into fanatics of a death cult who will cheer every step of the way as this turd planet circles the drain.

So do brainwashed people deserve what they get or not?

a reply to: TheGoodNews

You are one of those KJV people, aren't ya'?

Not so, because I am not a vampire, nor do I bathe in blood.

Sane people don't.

It's wild how you guys actually forget how totally unhinged this stuff actually sounds.
I recommend taking a break from the Bible once in a while to take a walk or something
and think about normal stuff, like football or nature, or standup comedy.
It's good for you.

a reply to: RAY1990

Thank you. Catholic hippie kid, Protestant mom, devote Catholic dad...I learned to love every-damn-body.

ER.Med Response 40 some years...blood. We all...all..bleed blood. Red.

There's a comparison to religion for ya. All different, same "source".

God bless...✌️😎

There is a real disconnection between your ideology and what Jesus taught ... "And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.". Being born a virgin is not a physical manifestation. It is spiritual ascension. Baptism too is physical symbolism of a spiritual cleansing. One is not the other.

Filling our minds with false dogma does not result in spiritual ascension. Its the negation of all the false dogma's and desires from the physical mind that results in spiritual ascension.
