Beautiful Pictures of JESUS CHRIST

Beautiful Pictures of JESUS CHRIST

♥♪HE INCLUDED ME ♥♪

The Lord's Supper

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You know, Many People Have Seen JESUS.

Many have died, then been resurrected....they have seen JESUS.

Many others, in times of great sufferings, (as in when a child looses BOTH parents) have seen JESUS.

Others, in GOD's own choosing have been shown heaven. (wish it happened to me!)

........and they have seen HIM as well.

So, I am pretty confident that all the pictures of JESUS pretty much can be relied upon as to be more or less.....right on.

However, a picture IS just a picture.

NO COMPARISON WHATSOEVER AS TO THE REAL PERSON OF OUR AFFECTION.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once some of my Christian family in Mexico wanted me to destroy all the pictures I had of JESUS in my home.

Can you imagine that?

I said, I have pictures of all my loved ones - family and friends......and I'm not getting rid of any of them.

It's not like I pray to the pictures! (for goodness' sake!)

    Great images; did you know that no one really knows what Jesus looked like? There is no description of Him in the Bible. Isn't that cool? So when we picture Him, we are picturing what we think He looks like and we'll find out for sure when we get to heaven.

Friday, October 7, 2005 Is There HELP Out There for People Such As I?

Is There HELP Out There for People Such As I?
Yes, My LORD and My GOD is My Help. Psalms 121


♥♪· All For Me ♥♪ (exerpt)

"For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage. So then, if she marries another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress, even though she marries another man" (Rom. 7:2,3).

"A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord" (1 Cor. 7:39).

Now here are some exerpts from that Website I had mentioned before. The one that taught that asking forgiveness for a divorce is one thing, but that does not nullify the 'wedding' as well.

2) You mentioned getting forgiven for "divorcing our spouses." Please know that there is no such thing in Scripture as getting forgiven from the sin of divorce! This subtle twisting of the Word regarding getting forgiven over the sin of "divorce" has led some to go through with it, then remarry, hence committing adultery themselves and causing their new "spouse" to become guilty of the same sin. Without a doubt, in many cases, "remarriage" is the world's term for what the Lord taught is adultery. It would be adultery in God's eyes because it is an unrecognized marriage as far as He is concerned.

(4) Whose wife was Herodias? Please consider the following passage from Mk. 6:17, 18:

"For Herod himself had given orders to have John arrested, and he had him bound and put in prison. He did this because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had married. For John had been saying to Herod, 'It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife.'"

NOTE: Even though Herod had "married" Herodias, she is still considered "Philip's wife." That is why John said it was not lawful for him to have his brother's wife. In other words, adultery was being committed by both Herodias and Herod.

(7) A wayward wife is called the adulteress:

"It[wisdom] will save you also from the adulteress, from the wayward wife with her seductive words, whohas left the partner of her youth and ignored the covenant she made before God. For her house leads down to death and her paths to the spirits of the dead. None who go to her return or attain the paths of life. Thus you will walk in the ways of good men and keep to the paths of the righteous. For the upright will live in the land, and the blameless will remain in it; but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the unfaithful will be torn from it" (Prov. 2:16-22).

COMMENT: Please note, the adulteress in the above passage is really a divorcee, for she left the partner of her youth and ignored the covenant she made before God. Marriage is a covenant between two people and God. Also, a "wayward wife" is called elsewhere in Scripture an immoral person, a prostitute and an adulteress:

"For these commands are a lamp, this teaching is a light, and the corrections of discipline are the way to life, keeping you from the immoral woman, from the smooth tongue of the wayward wife. Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes, for the prostitute reduces you to a loaf of bread, and the adulteress preys upon your very life" (Prov. 6:23-26).

This life is a test (Jam. 1:12; Rev. 2:10,11; 3:10). The stakes are eternal. Only the minority will pass the test and enter through the narrow gate that leads to life (Matt. 7:13,14). The vast majority of people will be thrown into the lake of fire (Rev. 20:15; 21:8). Don't get yourself snared by an illegitimate marriage that may bring much temporal pleasure and comfort now, but reap an eternal torment in fire and great regret over such later:

"What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?" (Mk 8:36).

Again, it is NOT always God's will to remarry, as 1 Cor. 7:11 clearly states. Ponder the apostle's teaching on this, under grace, if you are thinking about doing such:

"But and if she depart, LET HER REMAIN UNMARRIED, orbe reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife" (1 Cor. 7:11).

Stay in the Bible and go by its counsel. Live in the fear of God. Think beyond the grave and ponder your own judgment before God. No person, regardless how much you may be drawn tohim or her, is worth going to eternal punishment over.

A 25 year marriage is destroyed by wife's adultery <

    so, ANY sin is an UNPARDONABLE sin

    if it is not TRULY repented of (which includes TURNING AWAY from it!)

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    How can GOD forgive a sin that HASN'T been repented of?

    If
    one is committing sin, let's say, a liar
    they repent (say I am sorry I lie...forgive me, and clean me from this sin)
    GOD forgives them and washes lying away.
    Now the person is forgiven, is clean from lying, and has the POWER not to lie again.

    If that person stops lying and does not lie again....all is well. He is forgiven and his old sins are gone.

    If that person decides to KEEP On lying, then his repentance was INSINCERE. ...or he has messed up and needs to ask GOD for HIS mercy and grace AGAIN!

    If that person decides to keep on lying and lying and lying and lying....and NEVER uses his GOD given POWER to stop lying, then he IS A LIAR and has not overcome the sin, but has become the servant of sin. Also he has sown to his flesh (done what his flesh wanted to do) and of his flesh he shall reap corruption (he will die).

    and his fate is revealed in GOD's HOLY WORD:
    Rev 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
    Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

    To look at ALL Scriptures in no wise means you are do DISREGARD another scripture.

    Scripture NEVER Contradicts itself.

    JESUS said, "Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery." Luke 16:18

    CONTRARY to popular belief, JESUS NEVER said otherwise.

    "I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery" Matthew 19:9

    Here (Matt 19:9) JESUS teaches the husband who divorces his wife for her unfaithfulness is not the CAUSE OF her becoming an adulteress.

    No matter a million people's voices to the contrary
    ONLY JESUS' voice matters to me.
    For I WILL NOT have HIM say to me one day, "Why call ye me, LORD, LORD, and do not the things I say?"

    ~~~~I love. you, Sis
    GOD bless you

Ministers Jeopardizing The Entire Fold

Ministers
Jeopardizing The Entire Fold


♥♪· I Worship You With All Of Me ♥♪ (exerpt only)

The following is from Evangelical Outreach:

Ministers who "marry" two people that are not eligible for marriage, because of a past marriage, are helping to perpetuate this rampant problem with adultery. To teach contrary to the Scriptures on any issue, including divorce, can stumble others and bring judgment down on the teacher(s):

(a) They are causing another to commit adultery through their teachings:

" 'But you have turned from the way and by your teaching have caused many to stumble' " (Mal. 2:8).
(b) Such ministers would also be indited by Lk. 17:1-3:
"Jesus said to his disciples: 'Things that cause people to sin are bound to come, but woe to that person through whom they come. It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin. So watch yourselves.' "
Jeopardizing The Entire Fold(c) For ministers to have known illegitimately married couples, that is adulterers as God sees them, in their folds and to extend the right hand of Christian fellowship toward them, is to jeopardize the spiritual well-being of the entire congregation:
"Don't you know that a little yeast works through the whole batch of dough? Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast--as you really are" (1 Cor. 5:6, 7).
Christians are commanded under grace not to associate with or even to eat with a person who is sexually immoral and claims to be a Christian:
"But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat" (1 Cor. 5:11).

Ministry is not a popularity contest. A true shepherd is to preach the truth, and guard the sheep that have been entrusted to him, even if it is unpopular as it was for John the Baptist. Think about Judgment Day. God bless you.

    I agree with the pastors wife here, maybe you can call her on the phone and talk to her. you are condeming yourself cammie. There are situations in which divorce is permissable and remarrige is blessed and it not just in death, its in the bible, I gave you those scriptures. There is only one unpardenable sin and thats against he Holy spirit.

    How can ... advice saying to DISREGARD what JESUS said
    help me?

    Those who remarry commit adultery.

    Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery. Luke 16:18

    Luk 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
    Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
    Pro 14:12 and Pro 16:25 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
    Mat 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

    Rom 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
    Rom 8:12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
    Rom 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
    Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

    Gal 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
    :19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
    :20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
    21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

    Cammie,

    I emailed my pastor's wife about what she thought about the struggle you are going through. Here is her reply:

    The divorce issue is so touchy.

    About 50% or more of the women in our Bible studies have been divorced and remarried. They are already hurt enough without our telling them that they are living in adultery. I Will talk to you about this personally – but it is too much to put in an e-mail. So let’s talk about it…but do not let your friend heap that kind of condemnation on on herself because she thinks SHE is an adulterous. That is playing the judge and jury. She needs to come in and talk to me and let me help her get over some of the condemnation and lies that she is hearing from the enemy.


    Now obviously you can't come in to talk to her, but I think you need to talk to a pastor or a pastor's wife who is knowledgeable in these things so you can get some answers and find some peace.

Thursday, October 6, 2005Early Church Doctrine on Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage

Summary of Early Church Doctrine on Marriage, Divorce and Remarriage

90 A.D. – 419 A.D

1. If a spouse persists in adulterous behavior and there is no other alternative, the marriage relationship can be terminated by the innocent party. (Hermes, Clement, Jerome, Augustine)

2. Spouses that are divorced for any reason must remain celibate and single as long as both spouses live. Remarriage is expressly prohibited. (Hermes, Justin Martyr, Clement, Origen, Basil, Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine)

3. To indulge in lust with the mind is to be guilty of adultery of the heart. (Justin Martyr)

4. Whoever marries a divorced person commits adultery. (Hermes, Justin Martyr, Clement, Origen, Basil, Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine)

5. Whoever contracts a second marriage, whether a Christian or not, while a former spouse lives is sinning against God. (Justin Martyr, Ambrose)

6. God does not, and the Church must not, take into account human law when it is in violation of God’s law. (Justin Martyr, Origen, Ambrose)

7. God judges motives and intentions, private thought life and actions. (Justin Martyr)

8. The marriage covenant between a man and a woman is permanent, as long as both husband and wife are alive. (Clement, Origen, Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine)

9. It is a serious offence against God to take another person’s spouse. (Basil)

10. The Church must charge all persons who are in possession of another living person’s former husband or wife with adultery. (Basil)

11. Sexual relations are a marital right that is limited to one’s own husband or wife. (Hermes, Justin Martyr, Clement, Origen, Basil, Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine)

12. Sexual relations with one’s legitimate spouse protects from sexual sin. (Ambrose)

13. Marriage and sexual relations with a remarried spouse while a former spouse lives is the sin of adultery. (Hermes, Justin Martyr, Clement, Origen, Basil, Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine)

14. It is a serious mistake to believe that it is simply one’s right to divorce a spouse and take another. Even though human law may permit such a thing, God strictly forbids it, and cannot, and will not honor it. (Clement, Origen, Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine)

15. Anyone who follows human customs and laws regarding marriage, divorce and remarriage, instead of God’s Divine instructions should stand in fearful awe of God Himself. (Clement, Ambrose)

16. All lawmakers, in and out of the Church are warned, to their peril, to hear and obey the Word of the Lord in regard to His commands on marriage and divorce. (Ambrose)

17. Christians are to stop making excuses and trying to find justification for divorce and remarriage. There are no valid reasons acceptable to God. (Jerome, Augustine)

18. A marriage is for life. No matter what a spouse turns out to be, or how they may act, what they do or don’t do, or the sins they commit, the covenant remains fully in effect. A remarriage whilea former spouse lives is not marriage at all, but sinful adultery. God does not divide the one flesh relationship except by physical death. (Hermes, Clement, Origen, Basil, Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine)

19. Marriage is a lifelong covenant that will never be invalidated by God while both parties live. (Hermes, Justin Martyr, Clement, Origen, Basil, Ambrose, Augustine)

    Dearest Betty,

    I was divorced AFTER I was saved...

    Our enemy is so very subtil ...and if we do not CLING to JESUS and HIS (GOD's) HOLY WORD with all our strength, if we at ANY verse of scripture say, "well, yes, I see that scripture, but I am NOT going to look at it for now"

    we WILL be decieved.

    I have loved and followed JESUS for years. I had recieved the HOLY SPIRIT's Baptism.

    I am without excuse.

    For years after my divorce I searched for a 'knight in shining armour'....
    not really. I just wanted a Good Man who Loved me.
    Really loved me. Enough to want to spend time with me. that's all.
    It was the greatest desire of my heart. and according to Psalms 34:7
    well, I always thought Conrado was the answer to thousands of prayers
    and even GOD's promise.

    When we started going to our church everyone was so loving .... kind.
    We were expecting Joseph at the time. Joseph is now 1 year and 3 months old.
    I have been teaching Sunday School there for quite some time now... and FASTING and
    PRAYING for revival...and Evangelizing on the Web...

    When GOD illuminated my sin to me, I was...this is hard to imagine, because I don't even understand myself what happened...
    all this time ... I thought I was o.k. with GOD.

    but I wasn't.

    I was an adulteress! In DANGER OF GOD'S JUDGEMENT.

    ...(cont.)

    If I had died at anytime during this past year....I would have been damned to hell
    for GOD's HOLY WORD clearly says,

    Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
    Gal 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
    Gal 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

    That's a ..sobering thought.
    And it brings to light this scripture Paul wrote:

    But I keepunder my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. 1Co 9:27

    more and more GOD is telling me to give my testimony... as wickedly and shamefully I have lived, HE still forgives me.
    There are others, too, that may be saved who may be thinking there is NO forgiveness left for them...and still others who may be thinking they are 'hunky-dory' and 'fine-and-dandy' when all in the world they are
    is LOST IN SIN and in DANGER of the JUDGEMENT!

    How can I thank you for all the love and encouragement you two Dear Sisters in the LORD show to me?
    I pray GOD HIMSELF lets you know
    GOD Bless you, Betty and Tammy.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    GOD's Blessings to everyone who reads this.
    amen

Beloved, Let Us Love One Another

I love you, JESUS
I love our church family, too.


♥♪ HE GIVETH MORE GRACE ♥♪

Romans 8:28* And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

<<>

I must tell you we love our church family.

I am very very thankful they let us worship with them

They didn't point out that we are in deep sin that needs to be repented of,

but they allowed us to come into GOD's Presence, and HE did.

I love GOD, and how HE guides our footsteps...

I don't understand ALOT of things, such as the whys, I weary of looking for 'a better way' trying to guide my own footsteps.

I just follow HIS lead, resting in HIS promise* that all things are working out to the good. Doing the work my hands find to do, with all my heart as unto the LORD...praying without ceasing, redeeming the time for the days are evil.

There is a great prayer HE has given me:

***Dearest LORD GOD,***

As you guide my steps today, and perfect that which concerns me,

please maximize the effectiveness of the works of my hands in that YOU have called me to do.

Let nothing 'futile' or 'worthless' waste my time, but cause me to work in YOUR Blessed efficiency.

Thank YOU, LORD.

in JESUS Name

amen***
