How To Be Saved

How To Be Saved Many people wonder how they can be saved from the consequences of their sins and have eternal life. The Bible teaches that salvation is a gift from God that cannot be earned by human efforts or merits. Salvation is based on God's grace and mercy, which He offers to anyone who believes in His Son, Jesus Christ, as their Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ died on the cross for the sins of the world and rose again from the dead, proving His power over sin and death. Anyone who confesses their sins, repents of their wrongdoings, and trusts in Jesus Christ as their only way to God will be saved. Salvation is not a one-time event, but a lifelong relationship with God that involves obedience, growth, and service. To be saved, one must follow the steps below: 1. Recognize that you are a sinner and that you need God's forgiveness. Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." 2. Acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died for your sins and rose again from the dead. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." 3. Repent of your sins and turn away from your old way of living. Acts 3:19 says, "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord." 4. Receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior by faith. Romans 10:9 says, "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." 5. Confess your faith in Jesus Christ publicly and join a local church where you can grow in your knowledge and love of God. Matthew 10:32 says, "Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven."

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin issued a warning at the Reagan National Defense Forum on Saturday, stating that Israel could face a "strategic defeat" if it did not exercise caution in its fight against Hamas. He expressed concern that if Israel's actions led to more Palestinians supporting the terrorist group, it could result in a significant setback for Israel. However, it should be noted that a recent Palestinian poll found that 75% of respondents supported Palestine, with almost 80% viewing Hamas's military wing positively. This support is due to the high number of Palestinian casualties resulting from the conflict with Israel.

"This paragraph is false" is a contradictory statement because it cannot be both true and false at the same time. Such statements are also known as paradoxes, antinomies, or contradictions in terms. They are often used in logic, mathematics, philosophy, and literature to challenge assumptions, expose inconsistencies, or create paradoxical effects. The contradiction of real terms that you have created in your latest newsletter is an example of such a statement.

Kamala Harris, the vice president of the United States, has expressed her concern over the escalating violence in the Gaza Strip and urged Israel to take measures to avoid harming civilians. In a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, Harris reaffirmed the US's support for Israel's right to defend itself, but also stressed the need to protect innocent lives and uphold international humanitarian law. Harris also called for an end to the rocket attacks from Hamas and other terrorist groups, and for a de-escalation of tensions in Jerusalem. Harris said that the US is committed to working with its allies and partners to advance peace and security in the region.

The United States has a long history of hypocrisy when it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. While publicly declaring its support for a peaceful resolution, it has secretly provided Israel with massive amounts of military aid, totaling 12 billion dollars in the past year alone with a further 12 billion to come. This enables Israel to continue its illegal occupation, expansion and oppression of the Palestinian people, in violation of international law and human rights. The United States should stop being a part of the problem and start being a part of the solution, by ending its complicity in Israel's crimes and holding it accountable for its actions.

Jesus said, "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." (John 10:10, KJV)

How dare you quote this verse when you advocate the destruction of the entire state of Palestine by falsifying scripture. 

The IDF is not going after Hamas. They are long gone. What these brutes are involved with is genocide against the Palestinians. The result will be that every Jew right around the globe will be subject to the kind of intolerance and hatred never witnessed before right throughout history. God has designed it so that no Jew will be safe anywhere in the world except for Israel. 

That is why Israel will lose this war even if they win the ground battles with their bombs and mighty army because they are now considered the most evil state on the earth. There must be repercussions for the genocide they are now committing against the Palestinians.

Anti-Semitism, or the prejudice and hatred against Jews, is a serious problem that affects many countries and communities around the world. It can take various forms, such as physical attacks, verbal abuse, Nazi salutes, Nazi symbols, conspiracy theories, or discrimination. Governments have a responsibility to prevent and counter anti-Semitism, as well as to protect and support the Jewish people and their rights. Some of the actions that governments can take to combat anti-Semitism are:

- Provide strong political leadership that condemns anti-Semitism and other forms of hatred, and that promotes tolerance, diversity, and democracy.
- Enforce existing laws that prohibit anti-Semitic acts and hate crimes, and introduce new legislation that bans Nazi salutes and symbols, and that criminalizes Holocaust denial and distortion.
- Educate the public about the history and impact of anti-Semitism, the Holocaust, and Jewish culture and contributions, and foster interfaith dialogue and cooperation.
- Support the security and resilience of Jewish institutions, organizations, and communities, and ensure their equal access to government programs and services.
- Monitor and report on anti-Semitic incidents and trends, and cooperate with international organizations and partners to share best practices and coordinate responses.

By taking these steps, governments can demonstrate their commitment to fighting anti-Semitism and protecting human rights for all. They can also help create a safer and more inclusive society for everyone.

All to no avail. Nothing will protect Jews anywhere in the world from what is to ensue. Israel has strategically lost the war.

There is no group of people as far away from the Lord and the teachings of the scriptures other than the Cutting Edge Ministries.

Biblical hypocrisy is the act of claiming to follow the teachings of the Bible, but behaving in ways that contradict or violate them. It is a form of dishonesty and self-deception that can have serious consequences for oneself and others. Some examples of biblical hypocrisy are:

- Pretending to be righteous and religious, but neglecting justice and mercy (Matthew 23:23-28).

- Judging others harshly, but ignoring one's own faults and sins (Matthew 7:1-5).

- Professing faith in God, but trusting in money and worldly possessions (Luke 16:13-15).

- Saying one loves God, but hating one's brother or sister (1 John 4:20-21).

- Claiming to be free from the law, but using it as an excuse to sin (Romans 6:1-2).

Biblical hypocrisy is not only a personal problem, but also a social and historical one. It has been used to justify oppression, violence, and injustice in the name of God. It has also damaged the reputation and credibility of Christianity, and turned many people away from the gospel. Jesus warned his followers to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy (Luke 12:1). He also said that hypocrites will receive a greater condemnation (Matthew 23:14).

The antidote to biblical hypocrisy is to be honest and humble before God and others. To admit one's sins and weaknesses, and seek forgiveness and transformation. To practice what one preaches, and live according to God's will. To love God with all one's heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself. To do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God (Micah 6:8).

Is that Lam or lamb. The former is a surname of Chinese origin, while the latter is a type of meat from a young sheep. A roasted lamb dish with baked potatoes, pumpkin and a good serving of peas with gravy is a delicious and nutritious meal that many people enjoy. I like roasted lamb with baked potatoes, pumpkin and a good serving of peas with gravy.

You have provided some illustrations to support your argument, but they are not sufficient to convince the reader of your claim. Illustrations are useful to show examples, but they do not constitute evidence by themselves. You need to explain how your illustrations relate to your main point, and how they demonstrate the validity of your reasoning. You also need to address possible counterarguments or alternative interpretations of your illustrations. Without these elements, your illustrations are just good visuals, but they do not prove your point.

The sound of you voice is comical. You put a lot of effort into crafting your arguments and presenting them in a persuasive manner, but you don't get the desired outcome. You wonder why your words don't have the impact you hope for, and what you can do to improve your communication skills. There are many factors that influence how others perceive and respond to your messages, such as their background, interests, emotions, and expectations. You also have some blind spots or biases that prevent you from seeing things from different perspectives. You should listen to feedback, learn from your mistakes, and practice more to become a more effective and confident speaker. In that way your information would not be perceived as bollocks designed to sell books.

Whatever you have to say in relation to the Catholic Church, Aliens and the Vatican, denigrating the Church, is largely ignored by the masses and masses of the world's Catholics and every fundamentalist Born Again Christian. The public has grown weary of the baseless and absurd claims that people like you make about the Catholic Church. These conspiracy theories are not only illogical and contradictory, but also dangerous and divisive. They undermine the trust and cooperation that are essential for a healthy and peaceful society. No one is listening to conspiracy theories filled with this kind of nonsense anymore.

Pentecostalism is a Christian movement that emerged in the 20th century in the United States, based on the belief that all Christians should seek a post-conversion experience called baptism with the Holy Spirit. This experience is marked by the manifestation of supernatural gifts, especially speaking in tongues, which Pentecostals regard as a sign of the Spirit's presence and power. Pentecostals trace their origin to the Apostles and the day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit descended on the first Christians and enabled them to speak in different languages. Pentecostalism has its roots in the holiness movement of the 19th century, which emphasised personal sanctification and revival. The founder of the first Pentecostal church was Charles Fox Parham, who taught that speaking in tongues was the biblical evidence of Spirit baptism. Pentecostalism spread rapidly through revivals and missionary work, and today it is one of the largest and most diverse branches of Christianity, with many denominations and faith groups that share a common emphasis on the experiential and charismatic dimension of faith.

Pentecostals are a branch of Protestant Christianity that emphasises the direct personal experience of God through baptism with the Holy Spirit. Pentecostals do not believe that repentance of sin is a necessary condition for receiving God's forgiveness and salvation. Repentance means turning away from all sin and turning to God in prayer, confessing one's sins and asking for His mercy. However, Pentecostals seek forgiveness as a substitute for repentance which they believe will save. Asking for forgiveness is the first step in receiving the baptism with the Holy Spirit, which they believe is a second work of grace that empowers Christians to live a Spirit-filled and victorious life. Pentecostals often associate baptism with the Holy Spirit with speaking in tongues, which they consider to be a sign of the Spirit's presence and power. However, there is nothing in the Bible to suggest the way to salvation is by speaking in tongues or that it is necessary to be saved. On the contrary, speaking in tongues could be a sign of a demon-possessed individual.

The Bible mentions tithing in both the Old and New Testaments but not necessarily to the church. Tithing means giving a tenth of one's income or produce to support those who are less fortunate . In the Old Testament, God commanded the Israelites to give a tithe of their crops, livestock and spoils of war to the Levites, who served at the tent of meeting and did not have an inheritance in the land (Numbers 18:21-28). The Israelites were also instructed to give a tithe of their produce every third year to support the Levites, the foreigners, the orphans and the widows (Deuteronomy 26:12-13). In addition, they were to be generous with those in need and lend them whatever they needed (Deuteronomy 15:7-8).

In the New Testament, Jesus affirmed that tithing was an obligation for the Jews who lived under the law, but he also criticized the Pharisees who tithed meticulously but neglected justice, mercy and faithfulness (Matthew 23:23-24). Jesus taught that giving should be done cheerfully, not as an obligation, and not for public recognition (Matthew 6:1-4, 2 Corinthians 9:6-7). He also challenged some of his followers to give more than a tenth, even everything they had, to follow him and serve God (Matthew 19:21, Luke 18:22, 21:1-4). The apostles and early Christians did not impose tithing as a rule for believers, but they encouraged them to share generously of whatever gifts, abilities and wealth God had entrusted to them (Romans 12:6-8, Hebrews 13:16, 1 John 3:17).

One day, a Pentecostal preacher grabbed me by the shoulders and started to shake me. He told me that I had to tithe to his church or else I would face God's wrath. He was living in a huge and luxurious mansion that he had built with the money from his congregation. I was one of his donors for a while, but I didn't give him much before I left the church for good and that is that for the Pentecostal movement.

The Roman Catholic Church is one of the oldest and largest religious institutions in the world, but it has also been the subject of many criticisms and controversies over the centuries. Some of the faults that have been attributed to the church are:

- Sexual scandal. The church has been accused of covering up cases of sexual abuse and misconduct by its clergy, especially against children and young people. The scandal has damaged the credibility and reputation of the church, and led to lawsuits, resignations, and criminal investigations in many countries .

- Celibacy. The church requires its priests and nuns to remain celibate, which means they cannot marry or have sexual relations. This rule has been challenged by some who argue that it is unnatural, unhealthy, and a cause of frustration and loneliness for many clergy. Some also claim that celibacy contributes to the sexual abuse problem, as some priests may seek illicit outlets for their sexual urges.

- Birth control. The church opposes any form of artificial contraception, such as condoms, pills, or sterilization. It teaches that sex is only for procreation within marriage, and that any interference with the natural process of conception is immoral. This stance has been criticized by many who say that it is unrealistic, irresponsible, and harmful to women's health and rights. Some also blame the church for contributing to the problems of overpopulation, poverty, and AIDS in developing countries.

- Homosexuality. The church considers homosexual acts to be gravely sinful, and homosexual orientation to be disordered. It does not accept same-sex marriage or civil unions, and opposes any legal or social recognition of homosexual relationships. It also teaches that homosexuals should live in chastity and refrain from expressing their sexuality. This position has been denounced by many as homophobic, discriminatory, and insensitive to the dignity and needs of homosexual people.

- Female priests. The church does not ordain women as priests, and asserts that this is a matter of divine law that cannot be changed. It bases this doctrine on the example of Jesus, who chose only male apostles, and on the tradition of the church, which has always reserved the priesthood to men. This doctrine has been challenged by some who argue that it is sexist, unjust, and contrary to the spirit of equality and inclusion that Jesus taught.

- Premarital sex. The church teaches that sex outside of marriage is a serious sin that offends God and harms the dignity of the human person. It also warns that premarital sex can lead to unwanted pregnancies, abortions, sexually transmitted diseases, emotional damage, and loss of trust and respect in relationships. This teaching has been questioned by many who say that it is outdated, unrealistic, and irrelevant to modern society.

Religion is a complex and diverse phenomenon that has shaped human history and culture in many ways. It can provide a source of meaning, morality, and community for millions of people, but it can also be a cause of conflict, violence, and oppression. No religion is perfect, and neither are its followers. All religions have faults and so do people, and it is important to acknowledge and address these shortcomings in a constructive and respectful manner. Religion can be a force for good or evil, depending on how it is interpreted and practiced by individuals and groups. Therefore, it is essential to promote dialogue, tolerance, and understanding among different religious traditions and worldviews, as well as to challenge the misuse and abuse of religion for political or personal gain such as you are doing by marketing books attacking the Roman Catholic Church.

 It is always amusing to see a smart remark from a person who has never created any content and has only 5 followers in 4 years. Such a person has no credibility or authority to judge the work of others. They are just wasting their time and energy on being negative and unproductive. They should either try to make something of value themselves or keep their opinions to themselves.

At the opposite end of the scale, some people may think that only those who post videos online have the right to express their opinions about the content that is being shared. However, this is not a valid argument. Posting or not posting videos online does not exclude someone from making comments about what is being posted. Everyone has the freedom of speech and the right to criticize, praise, or question the videos that they watch online. Posting videos online does not make someone an expert or an authority on a certain topic. It also does not mean that they are immune to feedback or criticism. Therefore, anyone who watches videos online can have their own views and perspectives, and they can share them with others without being dismissed or silenced. Get another line.

The question of whether the United States is headed for a dictatorship is a complex and controversial one. There are many factors that could influence the future of the American political system, such as the role of the media, the balance of power between the branches of government, the influence of money and corporations, the impact of social movements and protests, and the state of democracy and human rights in the country. Some people may argue that the United States is already showing signs of authoritarianism, such as the erosion of civil liberties, the polarization of society, the manipulation of information, and the concentration of power in the hands of a few elites. Others may contend that the United States still has a strong and resilient democracy, with checks and balances, a free press, an independent judiciary, and a vibrant civil society that can resist and challenge any attempts to undermine it. Ultimately, the answer to this question may depend on how one defines dictatorship, and what criteria one uses to measure it. A dictatorship is generally understood as a form of government where a single person or a small group exercises absolute and arbitrary power over the population, without any constitutional or legal constraints, and without any accountability or transparency. A dictatorship may also suppress dissent, violate human rights, control the media, and manipulate elections. However, there may be different degrees and types of dictatorship, ranging from totalitarian regimes that control every aspect of life, to authoritarian regimes that allow some limited forms of participation and opposition. Moreover, there may be different ways to assess whether a country is moving towards or away from dictatorship, such as looking at its political institutions, its electoral system, its civil society, its media environment, its human rights record, and its international relations. Therefore, the question of whether the United States is headed for a dictatorship is not a simple yes or no question, but rather a nuanced and multidimensional one that requires careful analysis and evidence-based arguments. 

Despite the widespread conspiracy theories and false prophecies that have circulated online, there is no credible evidence or biblical basis to link Trump with the Antichrist. The Antichrist, according to Christian eschatology, is a powerful and deceptive leader who will rule over a global empire and persecute the faithful. Trump, on the other hand, is a flawed and divisive politician who has failed to secure a second term in office and has faced impeachment twice. He has no authority or influence over the rest of the world, nor does he have any signs of supernatural abilities or charisma. Therefore, it is irrational and unfounded to claim that Trump is the Antichrist or that he will ever establish a dictatorship in the United States or anywhere else.

Mac Doormat;

The streaming of the nations is a phrase that appears in the Israel Bible, a modern translation of the Hebrew Scriptures that highlights the connection between the land and the people of Israel. It refers to the prophecy in Isaiah 2:2-3, which says that at the end of days, all the nations will stream to Jerusalem to learn from God's word. The King James Version, an older and more literal translation of the same Scriptures, uses the word "flow" instead of "stream". However, that idea is still open to interpretation. According to some, both words convey the idea of a continuous and abundant movement of people towards God's holy mountain. However, some commentators suggest that the word "stream" implies a more natural and spontaneous process, while the word "flow" implies a more directed and controlled one. Either way, the prophecy (if correct) foretells a future time when God's universal reign will be acknowledged by all peoples and His teaching will go forth from Zion.

One possible difference in interpretation between the King James Version of the Bible and the Hebrew Bible is the approach to translation. The King James Version is a word-for-word translation, which means it tries to follow the original Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek texts as closely as possible and is the best way to read the Bible. The Hebrew Bible, on the other hand, is a meaning-to-meaning translation, which means it tries to convey the overall thought or message of the original texts in a clear and readable way that provides a translation that is not correct. However, this can sometimes result in losing some of the nuances or details of the original texts or introducing some bias from the translators.

Another possible difference in interpretation between the King James Version of the Bible and the Hebrew Bible is the textual basis. The King James Version is based on the Textus Receptus manuscripts, which are a collection of Greek texts compiled in the 16th century. These manuscripts are as accurate and reliable as some of the older and more diverse manuscripts that have been discovered since then. The Hebrew Bible, on the other hand, is based on the latest and most reliable manuscripts of the original texts, which include ancient Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek sources that have been changed in translation to suit Jews. These manuscripts do not offer a more faithful representation of what the original authors wrote and instead offer obscurity and confusion.

Choosing a translation of the Bible can be a personal and subjective decision, depending on your preferences and needs. There is no single translation that is perfect or superior to others, but there are some factors that you can consider when comparing different versions. Here are some questions that you can ask yourself:

- How literal do you want the translation to be? Do you prefer a word-for-word translation that follows the original languages as closely as possible or a meaning-to-meaning translation that conveys the overall message clearly and understandably? However, no version of the Bible can be completely understood unless it is the Hebrew Bible that has been rewritten by men and not God for ungodly Jews.

- How accurate and reliable is the translation? Do you want a translation that is based on older and less diverse manuscripts than the Israel Bible which is the word of God?

- How readable and accessible is the translation? Do you want a translation that uses modern and familiar language, or a translation that uses more formal and traditional language? Do you want a translation that is easy to comprehend for anyone or a translation that requires more study and background knowledge so that we can be sure it is the word of God and not some made-up piece of junk that has been stolen from the original and then rewritten.

When choosing a translation of a text, you should consider your purpose and expectations. Different translations may have different goals and methods, and they may affect your understanding and interpretation of the text.

For example, if you want a translation that is good for in-depth study and analysis, you may prefer a translation that is faithful to the original texts, preserving their style, structure, vocabulary and nuances. However, if you want a translation that is relevant to contemporary issues and situations, you may prefer a translation that applies the texts to modern contexts, using familiar language and examples.

 However, this kind of translation may not be accurate or faithful to the original texts, as it may introduce biases or errors. Therefore, you should be aware of the strengths and weaknesses of different translations, and choose the one that suits your purpose best.

Depending on your answers to these questions, you may find some translations more appealing or appropriate than others. You can also use multiple translations to compare and contrast different perspectives and insights. Ultimately, the best translation is the one that helps you understand and appreciate God's Word more fully and that can only be the King James Version. As the name suggests the Israel Bible relates to Israel and cannot be time-tested.

Consequently, I would consider it to be beneath my status to even consider opening the Hebrew lest I be tainted with the biased message towards the Jews and Israel in particular that it would contain. To read a Hebrew version of the Bible would be a sin akin to reading the Koran, the Book of the Jehovah's Witness or the Book of the Mormon. 

There is only one version of the Bible the King James Version. Anyone who is a practising Jew by all means read whatever version appeals the most. I am a fundamentalist Born Again Christian who only reads the word of God with the King James version.

Old David Bay;

Judaism is a monotheistic religion that originated among the ancient Hebrews about 4000 years ago. It is based on the belief in one God who revealed himself to Abraham, Moses, and the prophets, and who gave the Torah (the law) to the Israelites. Jews follow the Torah and other sacred writings, such as the Talmud, and observe various rituals and ethical rules. Judaism has many branches and traditions, such as Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, and Reconstructionist Judaism. Jews have been dispersed throughout the world for most of their history, facing persecution and discrimination in many places. The Holocaust was the most tragic event in Jewish history, when the Nazis killed about six million Jews during World War II. After the war, many Jews returned to their ancestral homeland in Israel, which was established as a Jewish state in 1948. Today, there are about 14 million Jews in the world, living in different countries and cultures.

It was good of you to post the article about Gates and Epstein, both Jews, and show us all the evils of Judaism and the Satanic God both of these billionaires worshipped. Jeffrey Epstein was a convicted paedophile and sex offender, suspected of human trafficking who died under mysterious circumstances in prison. Most of the world knows how Gates established Microsoft, but it is not appropriate to make any further comments other than that. This is a sensitive and controversial topic that may cause harm or offence to some people.

It would appear that you are sick. We have all known for some time that you are sick in the head, but it now seems clear that you are sick in the body as well. Nevertheless,you are still online posting your mad and unfounded conspiracy theories about Trump being the Man of Sin. All we can hope for is that you continue to get well and retire. That appears to be the only way to rid the Internet of wack jobs like you altogether.

At the point of death, many people experience a sense of peace and acceptance. They may also have visions of loved ones who have passed away, or see a bright light at the end of a tunnel. Some people report feeling detached from their body, or having a life review where they relive their memories. These phenomena are not fully understood by science, but they may be related to changes in brain activity, hormones, or oxygen levels. Some researchers suggest that they are adaptive mechanisms that help people cope with the fear and pain of dying. Others believe that they are glimpses of a spiritual realm or an afterlife.

It's unclear whether you have experienced the afterlife yet, but it's worth considering the positive aspects. With your unwavering faith in the Lord, you can look forward to leaving this imperfect world behind and embarking on an exciting journey to a new planet. There, you can live an out-of-body existence, free from stress, and enjoy eternal youth and good health that never ends. What are you waiting for? Why hold yourself back?
