THIS AGE OF WAR AND GRACE – BIBLE STUDY

We exist now in the age between the first and second coming of Jesus Christ.

This is an age of war.

Jesus said: "Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword" (Matthew 10:34).

This is an age of grace.

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9).

But what does that mean? War? Grace?
How do we make sense of all this?

Everything (all understanding) centers around the person of Jesus Christ.

"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God" (1 Corinthians 1:18).

Anyone who believes the following truths about Jesus Christ will see the world much differently than anyone who does not. This is the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6) with which war is waged in the age of grace.

TRUTH (THE GOSPEL) OF JESUS CHRIST
-Jesus Christ was born of a virgin - as foretold.
-Jesus Christ lived a perfect sinless life - as foretold.
-Jesus Christ worked many miracles (the deaf received hearing, the blind received sight, the dead were raised to life) - proving that He was and is the promised Savior of the world - the foretold Messiah.
-Jesus Christ went willingly to the cross - to suffer and die for the sins of all mankind. Why? Because without blood there is no remission for sin (Hebrews 9:22). This is key to God's law, God's plan.
-Jesus Christ was raised from the dead by the power of God - as foretold.
-Jesus Christ showed Himself as the resurrected Savior - proving again and again that He was who He said He was and that He is who He said He is.
-Jesus Christ is the promised Savior of the world.
-Jesus Christ is the foretold Messiah.
-Jesus Christ was God who came to earth in the flesh - fully man and fully God.
-He came to save mankind from the curse of sin.
-Jesus Christ is now the resurrected Savior for us in this age.

Jesus died for the sin of all mankind, so that anyone in this age who chooses to believe (place all their trust) in Him can be forgiven and saved from the eternal punishment for sin (separation from God = hell). Anyone is free to choose Jesus right now and be saved from the curse of sin and death.

If anyone believes the message above, "the message of the cross" (1 Corinthians 1:18) - then it is strong evidence that they "are being saved". On the other hand, anyone does not believe "the message of the cross" - if the information above is "foolishness" - then they are "perishing" according to God's Word (1 Corinthians 1:18).

This is a salvation test for mankind in the age of war and grace.

Question: Is the cross of Jesus Christ foolishness to you?
Answer Yes = you are perishing according to the Word of God (1 Corinthians 1:18)

Remember: It is the Lord's will that non should perish but that all should come to repentance (a turning away from sin - a turning towards God). 2 Peter 3:9

Here's another test:
http://www.jesusplusnothing.com/commands.htm

NOW - FOR THE REST OF THE STORY

Jesus Christ is coming again to put an end to this age.

Only after Jesus returns as promised will there be complete peace on earth.

Truly, “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for those who love Him” (Corinthians 2:9).

The Word of God is true - all of it is true.

Where there is confusion: It's the understanding of sinful man that is flawed.

Right now we exist in a fallen world. We are literally immersed in sin. That's why it sometimes seems so difficult to make sense of things.

Here's a link to a chart that reveals some of that confusion in regard to man's understanding of the revealed ages or dispensations of God:

Citizens bringing charges of Treason against Government Officials

How many more acts of treason will obama get away with?

My local news just reported that Al Qaeda, oops, I meant Syrian rebels just received their shipment of small arms from the United States. So now we're in the business of aiding the enemy, people who have sworn to destroy the United States and kill Americans? It's pretty pathetic when the president of Russia makes more sense than our own leaders!!!

Mice and Heavy Metal Music - Killer Mice

"One study conducted by David Merrill exposed mice to heavy metal 24 hours a day. The band chosen was Anthrax. The purpose of the study was to see how the heavy metal would affect their ability to learn new things.

Shockingly, the experiment could not be finished because instead of completing the Maze, the heavy metal mice all killed each other.

In further experiments, Merrill exposed the mice to heavy metal for only 10 hours a day. Even though the mice did not become homicidal in this experiment, they were much worse at solving the maze than when they had first encountered it. "

Eddie on Control, Mammom, the Big Bang,and Wisdom

Eddie Arnold The human race is totally controlled by the people that idolise paper promissory notes that they print and call money that would feel guilt if they recognised the bible as the truth as they have no pity for the embarrassing underprivileged or starving or contamination planet caused by materialisms creation of toxic waste. 
 
Scientists need endorsement of the wealthy rulers of this world and their brainwashing media to get recognition and financial support so they must be in deference to this aristocracy with their assertions. Georges Lemaître (Jesuit Priest) first proposed what would become the Big Bang theory in what he called his "hypothesis of the primeval atom." Over time, scientists would build on his initial ideas to form the modern synthesis; the Universe was once in an extremely hot and dense state which expanded rapidly. The first element produced was hydrogen, along with traces of helium and lithium. Being a Priest he would be familiar with the bible and his ideas have been obviously been influenced by it. Therefore if the Bible is correct then further investigation would corroborate his hypothesis. Water is hydrogen and oxygen and the sun is mainly hydrogen and humans mostly water.
The predominant elements in the Sun By mass, it is 70% hydrogen, 28% helium, 1.5% carbon, nitrogen and oxygen, and 0.5% all other elements. We expect stars of the Sun's size to be composed mainly of hydrogen and helium since these are the elements formed shortly after the Big Bang.
New Way To Split Water Into Hydrogen And Oxygen Developed

 
The design of efficient systems for splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen, driven by sunlight is among the most important challenges facing science today, underpinning the long term potential of hydrogen as a clean, sustainable fuel. But man-made systems that exist today are very inefficient and often require additional use of sacrificial chemical agents. In this context, it is important to establish new mechanisms by which water splitting can take place.

Isaiah 45 12 It is I who made the earth and created mankind upon it.
My own hands stretched out the heavens; I marshalled their starry hosts.

 
2 Peter
5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water (hydrogen and oxygen) and by water. 6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. 7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire (sun mainly hydrogen), being kept for the Day of Judgment and destruction of ungodly men. 8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.
11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. 13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.
14 So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. 15 Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. 16 He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction. 17 Therefore, dear friends, since you already know this, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of lawless men and fall from your secure position. 18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.

Anti-Christian war raging at Pentagon

Anti-Christian war raging at Pentagon

The Liberty Institute has announced the launch of its Armed Forces Religious Liberty hotline – (972) 941-4543 – along with a petition to support Christian members of the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force.

“The Pentagon released an appalling official statement that I didn’t believe at first, but unfortunately it’s true,” said Kelly Shackelford, president and CEO of the organization. “They are about to implement a new policy under which any members of the military ‘caught’ talking about their Christian faith will be subject to court martial or imprisonment!”

Shackelford said his group is establishing the emergency hotline “to protect our armed forces members, who can call and get free legal representation when they are persecuted for their Christian faith.”

"Do you know we are ruled by TV?"

-- President George W. Bush, C-SPAN interview, January 2005

"American children and adolescents spend 22 to 28 hours per week viewing television, more than any other activity except sleeping. By the age of 70 they will have spent 7 to 10 years of their lives watching TV."
-- The Kaiser Family Foundation

"You watch television to turn your brain off and you work on your computer when you want to turn your brain on."
-- Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Computer and Pixar, in Macworld Magazine, February 2004

"Everybody’s got values . . . The thing that frightens me is the way that an eroding public school system . . . and television on all over the place is leading to a steady dumbing down of the American public and a corrosion of basic critical thinking in the population."
-- Jamie Raskin, American University law professor, November 2004 on the Democracy Now! radio program

"Protestant clergy named divorce, negative influences from the media, and materialism as the three greatest threats to families in their communities."
-- from an Ellison Research study of 695 Protestant church ministers nationwide, October 2004

Out There: People Who Live Without TV | LiveScience

Out There: People Who Live Without TV | LiveScience

The motivations for most people who abandon TV fall into three categories, Krcmar found.

Some give it up to avoid exposing their families to the excessive sex, violence, and consumerism they feel are promoted onscreen. Others object to the medium itself, claiming television intrudes too much into their lives, interferes with conversation and takes time away from the family. Finally, some people have a beef with the power and values of the television industry and don't want its influence in their homes. 

Science does in fact support many non-watchers' worst fears about TV. 

"The research tends to show that increased exposure to television and violence results in greater aggression in children," Krcmar said. "That's a pretty consistent finding." 

Though not all children become more violent, and everyone reacts uniquely, it's fair to say that what we watch affects us. 

When parents did cut television out of their homes, they reported that their kids didn't bug them as much for junk food and toys advertised on TV. They also said giving up television made their children easier to manage. 

"It's sort of counter-intuitive, because people think their kids would drive them nuts without TV," Krcmar said. "But parents found that kids became very good at entertaining themselves and didn't need to be entertained all the time by something that was lively and active. They didn’t complain about being bored."

Amish prosecuted because scissors ‘crossed state lines’


 Amish prosecuted because scissors ‘crossed state lines’

1 Corinthians 6

King James Version (KJV)
Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Can a Christian be Demon Possessed?

Key texts:  John 15 and 1 Samuel 16

Key question:  Is a backslidden "Christian" still a "Christian"? 

Simple answer:  "Yes"

Thorough answer:  As follows...

Is a backslidden "Christian" walking after the Holy Spirit or after the flesh or after something else?  Romans 8

What are the works of the flesh?
Galatians 6

"they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God"

This is Paul's Gospel
Reference what Paul has to say about his Gospel:  Galatians 1:8-10 and 2 Corinthians 11

Examples of possession of God's servants - in the Bible:

The Holy Spirit of God was upon King Saul, then King Saul walked away from God, then the Holy Spirit of God left him, "and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him" 1 Samuel 16:14

Now, it is likely that David wasn't too pleased with Saul as he threw spears at David and chased him all over the country side trying to kill him...  but he still considered him as "The Lord's Anointed"

Once "Anointed" always "Anointed"?

Once "Christian" always "Christian"?

The label sticks no matter how we act.

Judas still remains to be known as one of the 12 original "disciples" of Jesus.  Will Judas forever be known as a "disciple"?  Yes - the disciple who betrayed his Master - the only one of the twelve given to Jesus - that is lost - that the scripture be fulfilled.  John 17:12

Abide in me...  John 15

Walk after the Holy Spirit and not after the flesh - in doing so - we overcome all through the unlimited power of Jesus Christ.

FULLER TRUTH:   Could Demons Possess Me?
http://www.christianitytoday.com/iyf/advice/faithqa/16.9.html
The Bible does describe followers of God coming under the influence of evil spirits—King Saul disobeyed God's instruction, and the Bible says, "The Spirit of the Lord had departed from Saul, and an evil spirit … tormented him" (1 Samuel 16:14, NIV). Judas, the disciple who betrayed Jesus, was possessed by Satan (Luke 22:3). And an evil spirit influenced Ananias and Sapphira, husband and wife, to lie to their fellow Christians and to God (Acts 5), leading to their deaths.

PARTIAL TRUTH:

So, while I gave you an absolute “NO!” to answer the question, “Can Christians Be Demon Possessed?” I hope I have shown you how Christians can be affected in every aspect of their life by demon-induced thoughts or suggestions.

She Survived Hitler and Wants to Warn America

“I am a witness to history.

“I cannot tell you that Hitler took Austria by tanks and guns; it would distort history.

If you remember the plot of the Sound of Music, the Von Trapp family escaped over the Alps rather than submit to the Nazis. Kitty wasn’t so lucky. Her family chose to stay in her native Austria. She was 10 years old, but bright and aware. And she was watching.

“We elected him by a landslide – 98 percent of the vote,” she recalls.

She wasn’t old enough to vote in 1938 – approaching her 11th birthday. But she remembers.

“Everyone thinks that Hitler just rolled in with his tanks and took Austria by force.”

No so.

Hitler is welcomed to Austria

“In 1938, Austria was in deep Depression. Nearly one-third of our workforce was unemployed. We had 25 percent inflation and 25 percent bank loan interest rates.

Farmers and business people were declaring bankruptcy daily. Young people were going from house to house begging for food. Not that they didn’t want to work; there simply weren’t any jobs.

“My mother was a Christian woman and believed in helping people in need. Every day we cooked a big kettle of soup and baked bread to feed those poor, hungry people – about 30 daily.’

“We looked to our neighbor on the north, Germany, where Hitler had been in power since 1933.” she recalls. “We had been told that they didn’t have unemployment or crime, and they had a high standard of living.

“Nothing was ever said about persecution of any group – Jewish or otherwise. We were led to believe that everyone in Germany was happy. We wanted the same way of life in Austria. We were promised that a vote for Hitler would mean the end of unemployment and help for the family. Hitler also said that businesses would be assisted, and farmers would get their farms back.

“Ninety-eight percent of the population voted to annex Austria to Germany and have Hitler for our ruler.

“We were overjoyed,” remembers Kitty, “and for three days we danced in the streets and had candlelight parades. The new government opened up big field kitchens and
everyone was fed.

“After the election, German officials were appointed, and, like a miracle, we suddenly had law and order. Three or four weeks later, everyone was employed. The government made sure that a lot of work was created through the Public Work Service.

“Hitler decided we should have equal rights for women. Before this, it was a custom that married Austrian women did not work outside the home. An able-bodied husband would be looked down on if he couldn’t support his family. Many women in the teaching profession were elated that they could retain the jobs they previously had been re- quired to give up for marriage.

“Then we lost religious education for kids

“Our education was nationalized. I attended a very good public school.. The population was predominantly Catholic, so we had religion in our schools. The day we elected Hitler (March 13, 1938), I walked into my schoolroom to find the crucifix replaced by Hitler’s picture hanging next to a Nazi flag. Our teacher, a very devout woman, stood up and told the class we wouldn’t pray or have religion anymore. Instead, we sang ‘Deutschland, Deutschland, Uber Alles,’ and had physical education.

“Sunday became National Youth Day with compulsory attendance. Parents were not pleased about the sudden change in curriculum. They were told that if they did not send us, they would receive a stiff letter of warning the first time. The second time they would be fined the equivalent of $300, and the third time they would be subject to jail.”

And then things got worse.

“The first two hours consisted of political indoctrination. The rest of the day we had sports. As time went along, we loved it. Oh, we had so much fun and got our sports equipment free.

“We would go home and gleefully tell our parents about the wonderful time we had.

“My mother was very unhappy,” remembers Kitty. “When the next term started, she took me out of public school and put me in a convent. I told her she couldn’t do that and she told me that someday when I grew up, I would be grateful. There was a very good curriculum, but hardly any fun – no sports, and no political indoctrination.

“I hated it at first but felt I could tolerate it. Every once in a while, on holidays, I went home. I would go back to my old friends and ask what was going on and what they were doing.

“Their loose lifestyle was very alarming to me. They lived without religion. By that time, unwed mothers were glorified for having a baby for Hitler.

“It seemed strange to me that our society changed so suddenly. As time went along, I realized what a great deed my mother did so that I wasn’t exposed to that kind of humanistic philosophy.

“In 1939, the war started, and a food bank was established. All food was rationed and could only be purchased using food stamps. At the same time, a full-employment law was passed which meant if you didn’t work, you didn’t get a ration card, and, if you didn’t have a card, you starved to death.

“Women who stayed home to raise their families didn’t have any marketable skills and often had to take jobs more suited for men.

“Soon after this, the draft was implemented.

“It was compulsory for young people, male and female, to give one year to the labor corps,” remembers Kitty. “During the day, the girls worked on the farms, and at night they returned to their barracks for military training just like the boys.

“They were trained to be anti-aircraft gunners and participated in the signal corps. After the labor corps, they were not discharged but were used in the front lines.

“When I go back to Austria to visit my family and friends, most of these women are emotional cripples because they just were not equipped to handle the horrors of combat.

“Three months before I turned 18, I was severely injured in an air raid attack. I nearly had a leg amputated, so I was spared having to go into the labor corps and into military service.

“When the mothers had to go out into the work force, the government immediately established child care centers.

“You could take your children ages four weeks old to school age and leave them there around-the-clock, seven days a week, under the total care of the government.

“The state raised a whole generation of children. There were no motherly women to take care of the children, just people highly trained in child psychology. By this time, no one talked about equal rights. We knew we had been had.

“Before Hitler, we had very good medical care. Many American doctors trained at the University of Vienna..

“After Hitler, health care was socialized, free for everyone. Doctors were salaried by the government. The problem was, since it was free, the people were going to the doctors for everything.

“When the good doctor arrived at his office at 8 a.m., 40 people were already waiting and, at the same time, the hospitals were full.

“If you needed elective surgery, you had to wait a year or two for your turn. There was no money for research as it was poured into socialized medicine. Research at the medical schools literally stopped, so the best doctors left Austria and emigrated to other countries.

“As for healthcare, our tax rates went up to 80 percent of our income. Newlyweds immediately received a $1,000 loan from the government to establish a household. We had big programs for families.

“All day care and education were free. High schools were taken over by the government and college tuition was subsidized. Everyone was entitled to free handouts, such as food stamps, clothing, and housing.

“We had another agency designed to monitor business. My brother-in-law owned a restaurant that had square tables.

“Government officials told him he had to replace them with round tables because people might bump themselves on the corners. Then they said he had to have additional bathroom facilities. It was just a small dairy business with a snack bar. He couldn’t meet all the demands.

“Soon, he went out of business. If the government owned the large businesses and not many small ones existed, it could be in control.

“We had consumer protection, too

“We were told how to shop and what to buy. Free enterprise was essentially abolished. We had a planning agency specially designed for farmers. The agents would go to the farms, count the livestock, and then tell the farmers what to produce, and how to produce it.

“In 1944, I was a student teacher in a small village in the Alps. The villagers were surrounded by mountain passes which, in the winter, were closed off with snow, causing people to be isolated.

“So people intermarried and offspring were sometimes retarded. When I arrived, I was told there were 15 mentally retarded adults, but they were all useful and did good manual work.

“I knew one, named Vincent, very well. He was a janitor of the school. One day I looked out the window and saw Vincent and others getting into a van.

“I asked my superior where they were going. She said to an institution where the State Health Department would teach them a trade, and to read and write. The families were required to sign papers with a little clause that they could not visit for 6 months.

“They were told visits would interfere with the program and might cause homesickness.

“As time passed, letters started to dribble back saying these people died a natural, merciful death. The villagers were not fooled. We suspected what was happening. Those people left in excellent physical health and all died within 6 months. We called this euthanasia.

“Next came gun registration. People were getting injured by guns. Hitler said that the real way to catch criminals (we still had a few) was by matching serial numbers on guns. Most citizens were law-abiding and dutifully marched to the police station to register their firearms. Not long afterwards, the police said that it was best for everyone to turn in their guns. The authorities already knew who had them, so it was futile not to comply voluntarily.

“No more freedom of speech. Anyone who said something against the government was taken away. We knew many people who were arrested, not only Jews, but also priests and ministers who spoke up.

“Totalitarianism didn’t come quickly, it took 5 years from 1938 until 1943, to realize full dictatorship in Austria. Had it happened overnight, my countrymen would have fought to the last breath. Instead, we had creeping gradualism. Now, our only weapons were broom handles. The whole idea sounds almost unbelievable that the state, little by little eroded our freedom.”

“This is my eyewitness account.

“It’s true. Those of us who sailed past the Statue of Liberty came to a country of unbelievable freedom and opportunity.

“America is truly is the greatest country in the world. “Don’t let freedom slip away.

“After America, there is no place to go.”

Kitty Werthmann
