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."

"Self-praise is no recommendation" is a proverb that implies that praising oneself is not a good way to gain respect or credibility from others. It is commonly used to discourage people from boasting about their accomplishments or abilities. However, some individuals believe that self-praise is essential and that we should do it more often. For instance, "Cutting Edge Ministries" is a perfect example of such a scenario to frequently ask for money. "Actually, it is every newsletter."

In conclusion, while self-praise might be advantageous in certain circumstances, it is usually not recommended as a means of earning respect or credibility from others.

Cutting Edge Ministries has a tendency to frequently say "I told you so". It’s always better to be humble and gracious, even when we’re right. Saying “I told you so” can come across as condescending and may hurt the other person’s feelings. Instead, we can try to be empathetic and understanding, and offer our help if needed.

David Bay is the Chief Executive Officer of Cutting Edge Ministries. It is an alleged Christian organization located in South Carolina, United States, that has been active for over 44 years.

One day with the Lord is a thousand years and a thousand years is one day. This is a sentence that paraphrases a verse from the Bible, 2 Peter 3:8, which means that God's perspective of time is different from ours. He is not bound by the limitations of time and space, and He can do His work in any time frame He chooses. To Him, a long period of human history may seem like a brief moment, and a short event may have eternal significance. This verse also reminds us that God is patient and faithful, and He will fulfills His promises in His perfect timing.

Accordingly, in the span of a human lifetime, time does not count as much as we think. We often measure our lives by the number of years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds that pass. But these are just arbitrary units that we use to organize our experience of reality. They do not reflect the true nature of time, which is relative, subjective, and nonlinear. Time is not a fixed entity that flows at a constant rate. It is a dynamic phenomenon that changes according to our perception, emotions, memories, and expectations. Time can slow down or speed up depending on how we feel, what we do, and how we think. Time can also bend and warp under the influence of gravity and motion. Time is not something that happens to us; it is something that we create and shape with our minds.

The online presence of Cutting Edge Ministries is the only thing that matters in the current context, not their 44 years of activity. Their past achievements and contributions are irrelevant to anyone except themselves. The only thing that counts is the information they publish or share now, and how it relates to the present worldly situation.

Selling end-time material through marketing books and DVDs and attracting readers to the website through newsletters containing a heavily biased stance on U.S. politics and the current situation in Gaza is an unacceptable method. This approach could potentially cause harm by spreading misinformation and inciting violence or antisemitism and should be avoided.

It is very upsetting for me to witness how Cutting Edge Ministries is promoting the extermination of all Palestinians in Gaza and labeling them as vermin, when God cherishes every living being regardless of their ethnicity, belief or faith. I cannot understand how a Christian organization can justify such a hateful and violent stance, when Jesus taught us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. I think this is a grave distortion of the gospel and a betrayal of God's will for peace and justice in the world.

Cutting Edge Ministries claim to follow the KJV of the Bible but they twist its words to suit their own agenda. They do not respect the original context and meaning of the biblical texts, but instead insert their own opinions and biases into them. This is not a matter of interpretation, but of distortion and deception. They are not faithful to the Bible, but to their own ideas and preferences.

The Bible is considered to be the word of God by many people. It is a sacred text that provides guidance and wisdom to its readers. However, people often interpret the Bible in different ways, and sometimes they twist the scriptures to justify their actions or beliefs. This can be spiritually dangerous and is not viewed favourably by God.

In fact, the Bible warns against twisting scripture to fit one’s own agenda. In Luke 4:9-12, Satan quotes the Bible to further his own agenda, and while this level of spitefulness may be shocking, it is not uncommon. The Bible is intended to provide answers to countless questions and problems, and it is not meant to excuse sinful nature or support immoral choices.

As Christians, we are called to use the Bible to receive guidance, instruction, encouragement, and comfort for everyday life. We must never use God’s word to promote our own agendas. Instead, we must honour God by simply obeying His word, not misusing it.

For those who add to or take away from the Bible, Revelation 22:18-19 states: “For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book” 123. This passage is a warning against corrupting the contents of the individual books of scripture and not against adding additional books of authorized scripture.

This text is not an advertisement, but a public service announcement. Many people are looking for good Biblical material to enrich their faith and understanding of God's word. However, not all sources are reliable or trustworthy. Some are based on conspiracy theories that distort the truth and exploit the believers for profit. These sources are harmful to the Christian community and should be avoided. Instead, there are plenty of other good sources available that are faithful to the Scriptures and provide sound teaching and guidance. These sources can help you grow in your relationship with God and His people.

If you’re looking for high-quality religious books and videos, I recommend checking out BibleProject. They offer a wide range of free resources to help people experience the Bible, including short animated videos, podcasts, and visual commentaries. Their videos are designed to show how the Bible is a unified story that leads to Jesus, and they cover topics such as the role of humans in the story of the Bible, the story of God’s creation of the universe, and much more.

Another resource you might find helpful is Christianbook.com. They are a leading seller of Christian books, Bibles, gifts, home school products, church supplies, DVDs, toys, and more. They offer a wide selection of high-quality materials at affordable prices, and they have a reputation for excellent customer service.

The best way to avoid being misled by false teachings and deceptive claims is to rely on the Bible as the ultimate source of truth and wisdom. The Bible is God's word and it reveals his will and his plan for humanity. Many people who claim to have special insights or revelations are actually spreading lies and confusion. They are trying to profit from the ignorance and fear of others. You should not waste your money or your time on their books, videos, or seminars. Instead, you should seek out faithful and sound preachers who teach the Bible accurately and faithfully. They are rare, but they still exist.

What does the bible say about celebrating Christmas? This is a question that many Christians may ask themselves, especially in a world where Christmas has become a commercialized and secularized holiday. The bible does not give a clear answer to this question, as it does not mention the date or the manner of Jesus' birth, nor does it command or forbid celebrating it. However, the bible does give some principles that can guide Christians in their decision to celebrate or not celebrate Christmas.

One principle is to worship God in spirit and truth, according to His will and His word (John 4:24, 1 John 5:14). This means that Christians should not follow the traditions of men or the customs of the world that are contrary to God's will or that have pagan origins (Mark 7:8-9, Colossians 2:8). For example, some of the symbols and practices of Christmas, such as the Christmas tree, mistletoe, wreaths, and Santa Claus, have roots in ancient pagan religions and are not related to the birth of Christ. Christians should avoid these elements and focus on the true meaning of Christmas, which is the incarnation of God's Son and His gift of salvation to the world (John 3:16, Galatians 4:4-5).

Another principle is to do everything for the glory of God and the edification of others (1 Corinthians 10:31, Romans 14:19). This means that Christians should not use their liberty as an occasion for the flesh or a stumbling block for others (Galatians 5:13, Romans 14:13). If celebrating Christmas causes someone to sin or to be offended, then it is better not to celebrate it. On the other hand, if celebrating Christmas can be done in a way that honours God and blesses others, then it can be a good opportunity to share the gospel and show love and gratitude to God and others (1 Peter 3:15, Ephesians 5:20).

In conclusion, the bible does not give a definitive answer on whether Christians should celebrate Christmas or not. It is a matter of personal conviction and conscience before God (Romans 14:5-6). Each Christian should examine their own motives and actions in light of God's word and seek His guidance and peace in their decision. Whatever they decide, they should do it with faith, joy, and love, remembering that Christ is the reason for the season and the centre of their lives (Hebrews 12:2, Colossians 3:17).

How people celebrate Christmas is a personal matter that has no connection with Cutting Edge Ministries or the decisions people make in their lives. Trying to ruin the Christmas spirit of children by criticizing Santa is not going to change anyone's mind or behaviour on Christmas day. This kind of action is only motivated by spite and resentment.

Hannukah is a time of joy and celebration for many Jewish people around the world. It is also a time of giving and receiving gifts, which can be a source of happiness or stress depending on the situation. Some people have a clear idea of what they want for Hannukah, while others prefer to be surprised or to choose something themselves. 

What would you like for Hannukah this year? Do you have a wish list or a specific item in mind? Or do you prefer to let your loved ones decide what to get you? Whatever your preference, here are some tips on how to communicate it effectively and politely:

- If you have a wish list, make sure it is realistic and reasonable. Don't ask for something too expensive, too hard to find, or too personal. You can also include a range of options, from low-cost to high-end, to give your gift-givers some flexibility and choice.

- If you don't have a wish list, but you have a specific item in mind, you can drop some hints or suggestions to your gift-givers. For example, you can mention something you saw online or in a store, or something you need or want for your hobby or work. You can also share your interests, preferences, or tastes, such as your favorite color, style, genre, or brand.

- If you don't have any idea what you want for Hannukah, or you prefer to be surprised, you can say so honestly and graciously. You can also express your appreciation and gratitude for whatever gift you receive, and show your enthusiasm and excitement when opening it. You can also offer some general guidance on what kind of gifts you like or dislike, such as books, clothes, gadgets, or experiences.

I'm sorry to say that I'm not in a position to offer you any assistance at this time. I have been struggling with my own financial situation and I have no extra resources to spare. I know this is not what you want to hear, but I hope you can understand that I'm not being selfish or uncaring. I'm just trying to survive and make ends meet. I wish I could help you, but I can't afford to give you anything.

If the content of your postings over the past few months is any indication, you may need to improve the quality of your content. Your actions may be considered objectionable to all Christians, particularly when you call upon the extermination of all Palestinians. You are not deserving.

Before you react negatively too quickly, please take the time to read this comparison between the Biblical teachings about Jesus Christ and the mythical teachings of Santa Claus. Many, many Christian pastors have lamented the fact that Santa Claus has replaced Jesus Christ in the hearts and minds of too many children and adults in America today. When you read this comparison, you will understand that this replacement in the hearts and minds of Americans is not by accident. You will be able to see Satan, the Master Marionette, pulling the strings above the world, leading adults and children alike away from Jesus Christ and toward Santa Claus, who is the epitome' of the love of the world and everything that is in it.

This is the same thing you put up every year.

There are many reasons why people may dislike Christmas. Some people may find the holiday season stressful due to the pressure of gift-giving, attending social events, and meeting family obligations. Others may dislike the commercialisation of Christmas and the emphasis on consumerism. Some people may have had negative experiences associated with the holiday season, such as the loss of a loved one or financial difficulties.

According to a licensed clinical mental health therapist, Oddesty K. Langham, some people may have a dislike for holidays due to past trauma or poor relationships with family members

It’s important to remember that not everyone celebrates Christmas, and that’s okay. People may choose not to celebrate for religious or personal reasons, or because it’s not recognized as a public holiday in their country.

However, there is no need to criticise Santa Claus, who is a source of joy for many children during Christmas in the Western world. What a pack of tight fisted hypocrites, and Jews. Don't talk to me of Jesus when you advocate the annihilation of an entire nation of people.

Indeed, for the past 22 years. The Palestinian leadership has deliberately -- and severely -- torpedoed countless attempts to give them a nation of their own, with a capital in Eastern Jerusalem. You see, the Palestinians share the same goal toward the Jews as the Nazis did, i.e., they are vermin/rodents who must be annihilated from the face of the Earth. 

Yes, the Palestinians have been offered a state multiple times in the past. However, they have rejected all the offers because they were so pitiful and compromising. For instance, in 2000, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak offered the Palestinians all of Gaza and most of the West Bank, no Israeli control over the border with Jordan or the adjacent Jordan Valley, a small Israeli annexation around three settlement blocs balanced by an equivalent area of Israeli territory that would have been ceded to the Palestinians. However, the offer was rejected by the Palestinian Authority. Similarly, in 2008, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert offered the Palestinians a state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, with a shared capital in Jerusalem. The offer was also rejected by the Palestinian Authority who saw it as an insult.

We live in a diverse and interconnected world, where every person has the right to dignity and respect. We share this planet with countless other living beings, who deserve our compassion and care. To promote hatred or violence towards anyone or anything is not only wrong but also harmful to ourselves and our future. It goes against the moral and ethical standards of all people on the planet to promote hatred or violence towards any living being. We should strive to foster peace and harmony among all and to protect and preserve the life that surrounds us.

Calling anyone or any race or nationality vermin/rodents that must be annihilated from the face of the Earth by comparing them to Nazis is an abomination in the eyes of the Lord. You need to repent and accept Christ as your saviour. You then dare to turn around and ask for donations for the vile triad of hatred towards anyone non-Jewish. All your statements achieve is to point towards some Zionists as the filthy, disgusting and immoral for advocating genocide against an entire nation of people. You are not Christian by any means. It would be best for you to take your salvation page down anyway because there is no mention there of repentance.

 There are a lot of Palestinians living within the United States, and all it would take is just one to take extreme offence at your statements and retaliate in a manner that could leave you quite dead.

I have written some thoughts and views on blogger for the benefit of the online community at https://rogermorrisey.blogspot.com/ This is a kind gesture from me, as it can help you gain more followers I hope you recognise the worth and quality of my remarks, as they are derived from my extensive knowledge and experience in the interpretation of Bible prophecy. I encourage you to read them attentively and learn from them, as they might alter your outlook and enhance your understanding of the end times.

My kindness is not something that I offer in exchange for gratitude or recognition. It is simply a reflection of who I am and what I value. I do not expect anything in return for being kind, nor do I seek to impress anyone with my actions. I am kind because it makes me happy and because I believe it is the right thing to do. Therefore, there is no need to thank me for my kindness, as it is not a favor or a gift, but a natural expression of my character.

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.

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.

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.

I'm not sure where you got the idea that Christians will be immune to the worldly system and will not have to take the Mark of the Beast. That is what you appear to be suggesting. That is not what I believe. The Bible clearly warns us that ANYONE who takes the mark will face God's wrath and eternal punishment (Revelation 14:9-11). The Bible also tells us that Christians will face persecution and tribulation in the end times (John 16:33; 2 Timothy 3:12). We are not promised immunity or escape from the world, but we are promised God's presence and protection (Psalm 91; Isaiah 41:10). We are called to be faithful and obedient to God, even if it means suffering or death (Revelation 2:10; 12:11).

The Bible is a rich source of wisdom and guidance for those who seek to live according to God's will. One of the virtues that the Bible often mentions is patience, which is closely related to endurance. Patience is the ability to bear with difficulties and delays without losing hope or faith. Endurance is the ability to persevere and remain faithful in the face of trials and temptations. According to some biblical researchers, patience has been mentioned nearly **70 times** in the Bible, either directly or indirectly through stories of people like Joseph, Abraham and Sarah, Job, and many others .

Endurance, on the other hand, has been mentioned **seven times** in the book of Revelation alone, which is a book that deals with the end times and the challenges that God's people will face . Both patience and endurance are essential for Christians who want to do God's will and receive His promises. As James 5:10-11 says, "As an example of suffering and patience, brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful."

Revelation Chapter 14 verse 12 is a verse that describes the endurance and faithfulness of the saints who follow God's commandments and Jesus Christ in the face of persecution and deception by the beast and its followers. The verse is part of a larger vision that John, the author of Revelation, received from God about the end times and the final judgement. The verse emphasises the need for patience and obedience among God's people, as they await the return of Christ and the reward of eternal life and warns about taking the Mark of the Beast.

Revelation 13:16-18 reads as follows:

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six,

Revelation 13:16-18 states that a time will come when all people, regardless of their social status, will be required to receive a mark on their right hand or forehead. Without this mark, they will not be able to buy or sell goods and services. This mark is believed to represent allegiance to the Antichrist, also known as the "beast". The number 666 is said to be associated with the beast's name. This passage is often interpreted as a warning about the rise of a powerful global authority

The timing for the arrival of the Mark of the Beast is not quite right. The Antichrist must sign the covenant of Daniel before we see the Mark and cash has to be gone completely.

According to the Bible, the Mark of the Beast will occur during the tribulation period, which is an unprecedented time of suffering since God will be pouring out His wrath upon an unbelieving, disrespectful and Christ rejecting world.

One interpretation says the Mark of the Beast occurs at the middle of the tribulation period. Since the tribulation is a seven year period, the mark of the beast will be required at the half way mark or 3.5 years into the tribulation but that analogy is open to debate.

There is a push to rid the world economy of cash and move towards digital banking, something I am resisting However, the Reserve Bank of Australia has stated that cash will continue to play an important role in the economy for the foreseeable future. This could be due to the reported flaws in the current banking and internet system, which is often inefficient and prone to failure.
