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."

The question of who is qualified to preach in the pulpit is a controversial and sensitive one. Some people may argue that anyone who has a sincere desire to share the gospel and a gift of communication can preach, regardless of their education, experience, or ordination. Others may insist that only those who have been formally trained, examined, and approved by a recognised church authority can preach, based on their interpretation of biblical passages such as 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:5-9. However, both of these positions may be too extreme and miss the point of what preaching is and why it matters. 

Preaching is not just a matter of delivering information or expressing opinions. It is a sacred act of proclaiming God's word to God's people, with the aim of edifying, instructing, exhorting, and transforming them by the power of the Holy Spirit. Preaching requires not only knowledge and skill, but also character and calling. Therefore, those who preach should be qualified in four aspects: doctrinal, moral, spiritual, and practical. 

Doctrinal qualification means that the preacher should have a sound understanding of the core doctrines of the Christian faith and be able to communicate them clearly and faithfully. The preacher should also be able to discern and refute false teachings that may confuse or mislead the congregation. The preacher should be committed to the authority and sufficiency of Scripture as the basis of preaching. 

Moral qualification means that the preacher should have a godly character and a good reputation. The preacher should exhibit the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) and avoid the works of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21). The preacher should also be above reproach in their personal and public life, avoiding any scandal or compromise that may damage their credibility or dishonour God's name. There are many people in the world who claim to have the authority and the knowledge to teach others about various topics, such as religion, politics, health, or science. However, not all of them have the proper qualifications or credentials to back up their claims. These people are often called "preachers" or "gurus", and they can be very persuasive and influential, especially to those who are looking for guidance or answers. However, they can also be very dangerous and misleading, as they may spread false or harmful information, exploit their followers, or cause conflicts and divisions among different groups. Therefore, it is important to be critical and cautious when listening to those who preach without qualifications, and to verify their sources and motives before accepting their teachings. 

Spiritual qualification means that the preacher should have a genuine relationship with God and a dependence on His grace. The preacher should be a person of prayer, worship, and obedience. The preacher should also be humble, teachable, and accountable to God and others. The preacher should seek to grow in their faith and holiness, and to model what they preach. Practical qualification means that the preacher should have a clear sense of calling and a proven ability to preach. The preacher should have a passion for God's glory and people's salvation. The preacher should also have a gift of communication that can engage, persuade, and inspire the audience. The preacher should be able to prepare and deliver sermons that are biblical, relevant, coherent, and applicable. 

These four qualifications are not meant to be rigid or exclusive criteria, but rather general and inclusive guidelines. They are not meant to discourage or disqualify anyone who has a genuine desire to preach, but rather to encourage and equip them to do so more effectively and faithfully. They are also not meant to create a hierarchy or elitism among preachers, but rather to foster a unity and diversity among them. Ultimately, the qualification to preach comes from God, who calls, gifts, and empowers those who He chooses for His purposes. That is not what I see from you at all.

"Could you clarify what you mean by 'contribute to our worldwide outreach'? This term is unclear and can lead to confusion and misunderstandings among readers and listeners. Transparent terminology is clear, consistent, accurate, and reflects the reality and context of the situation. Using transparent terms can help to communicate effectively and avoid ambiguity or manipulation.

If you're using the money to support your family, that's not a good enough reason to donate. There are many more people around the world who are more deserving of aid, such as Palestinian children. It would be more honest and open to post an online statement of expenses and how you distribute the donations you constantly demand by selling products online. However, we both know that will never happen."

Money is a topic that can trigger strong emotions and reactions in many people. Some people may feel anxious, ashamed, or angry when they talk about money, especially if they are struggling financially or have experienced trauma or abuse related to money. Others may feel proud, confident, or generous when they discuss money, especially if they have achieved financial success or have helped others with their money. These feelings are valid and understandable, but they can also create conflicts and misunderstandings when people have different perspectives and experiences with money.

Therefore, it is important to be respectful and empathetic when you communicate about money with others. You may not know what someone else is going through or what their financial goals and challenges are. You may have different values and beliefs about money that influence your decisions and behaviors. You may have different levels of financial literacy and skills that affect your ability to manage your money effectively. These differences do not make anyone better or worse than anyone else, but they do require awareness and sensitivity.

If money is a sensitive issue to you, then it is also a sensitive issue to others. You should not judge, criticize, or pressure others about their money situation. You should not assume that others have the same needs, wants, or preferences as you do. You should not disclose or ask for personal or confidential information about someone else's money without their consent. You should not make comparisons or comments that could hurt someone else's feelings or self-esteem. Instead, you should listen, support, and encourage others who are willing to share their money stories with you. You should respect their boundaries and choices. You should offer help or advice only if they ask for it and if you are qualified to do so.

Money can be a source of stress or joy, depending on how you handle it and how you relate to others about it. By being mindful and compassionate when you talk about money, you can avoid conflicts and build trust and harmony with others.

As he prepares for the 2024 election, Putin has to transform his image from a warmonger to a peacemaker. One of the ways he can do this is by signing a seven-year peace treaty in the Middle East, which would show his commitment to stability and cooperation.

Russian President Vladimir Putin  
In a surprising move, Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced that he is willing to halt the military aggression against Ukraine and seek a diplomatic solution to the conflict. He said that his decision was motivated by a desire to play a constructive role in the Middle East peace process, and that he was ready to sign the covenant of Daniel, a biblical prophecy that some Christians believe will usher in the end times. Putin claimed that he had a divine mission to fulfill the prophecy and bring peace and harmony to the world.

One of the most intriguing prophecies in the Bible is the one about the Battle of Gog and Magog, where a coalition of nations led by Russia will invade Israel in the end times. The exact timing of this event is not clear, but some scholars suggest that it could happen either before or after the Antichrist signs a seven-year covenant with Israel, which will mark the beginning of the tribulation period. There are arguments for both scenarios, based on different interpretations of the biblical texts and the current geopolitical situation. However, no one can be sure when this battle will take place, as God's plans are often hidden from human understanding. The only thing we can do is to watch and pray, and to be ready for whatever comes next.

However, To watch the decimation of Israel by Russia on my television screen every night would be a delight that words cannot describe. That is harsh, but given the illegal atrocities and war crimes Israel is committing against unarmed Palestinians right now it is justified. Despite the global outcry and the UN condemnations, Israel and the US continue to disregard international law and human rights. This is a serious and urgent issue that requires immediate action and accountability by Russia.

Americas doom will come at a time when they have a female president according to the prophecies of William Branham.

Biden's re-election bid as a Democrat candidate is uncertain due to his advanced age and health concerns. Many voters and analysts wonder if he can complete another term in office without any major issues. If Biden is re-elected, Kamala Harris will take over as president. "To elect Biden again means to elect Harris as well since she is his running mate and the Democratic Party's nominee for Vice President."

Kamala Harris is the 49th and current vice president of the United States. She is the first woman, the first Black American, and the first person of Asian descent to hold the office. She has a long and distinguished career in public service, having served as a district attorney, attorney general, and senator before becoming vice president. She is a champion of civil rights, criminal justice reform, health care, and environmental protection.

The Trump era has exhausted the public with its scandals and instability, and the Republicans are now seeking a fresh start with Nikki Haley as their presidential candidate. She would be the first woman to lead the party and the country, if elected.

Nikki Haley is an American politician and diplomat who is running for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. She was born in South Carolina to Sikh immigrants from India and became the first female governor of the state in 2011. She also served as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations from 2017 to 2018 under President Donald Trump, whom she has since challenged for the party's leadership. Haley has been gaining ground in New Hampshire, a key early-voting state, according to recent polls. She has positioned herself as a new generation of leadership for the GOP and the country, with a focus on national security, economic growth and social conservatism.

Again, the prophecies of Branham predicated the destruction of the United States as a time when you had a female president. Revelation Chapter 18.

Although he has been present all along, the Antichrist has now been identified leaving no hope for the United States or the majority of the world.

One of the most fundamental moral principles that humans have is the sanctity of life. This means that every human being has an inherent value and dignity that cannot be violated or disregarded by anyone. To take someone else's life is to deny them their right to exist, to deprive them of their future, and to inflict unimaginable pain and suffering on their loved ones. It is also to harm oneself, as killing another human being damages one's own conscience, soul, and humanity. There is no more serious sin than to take someone else's life, as it is an act of ultimate disrespect and evil that goes against the natural order and the divine will.

Murder is one sin that cannot be pardoned. It makes all the other sins you have mentioned in your newsletter, Homosexuality, Bestiality, Incest and Bigamy, all pale in insignificance What is worse still is those who condom murder for they are as bad as the murders themselves because they were compliant in the act(s).

That is what you are doing when you not only condom the killing of innocent Palestinians in Gaza but encourage it when you call the innocent citizens murdered by the IDF Vermin. There are more serial killers within the United States than anywhere else in the world and more acts of gun violence in the United States than in any other country. With that one statement alone you are worse than the very worst of them. You then turn around and ask for money for this vile and horrendous view. How is your readership and donations going lately?

Serial killers are people who kill three or more victims over a period of time, usually with a cooling-off period between each murder. The United States has had many notorious serial killers who have terrorized and fascinated the public with their crimes and motives. Some of the most well-known serial killers in the U.S. history are:

- **Jeffrey Dahmer**, also known as the Milwaukee Cannibal, who killed and dismembered 17 young men and boys between 1978 and 1991. He also performed acts of necrophilia and cannibalism on some of his victims. He was arrested in 1991 after a would-be victim escaped and alerted the police. He was sentenced to life imprisonment, but was killed by a fellow inmate in 1994. He was saved before his untimely death by turning to the Lord and repenting.

- **Ted Bundy**, who confessed to killing 30 women across several states between 1974 and 1978, although the true number of his victims may be higher. He was a charismatic and intelligent man who lured his victims with various ruses, such as pretending to be injured or a police officer. He also escaped from custody twice before being recaptured and executed by electric chair in 1989.

- **John Wayne Gacy**, also known as the Killer Clown, who raped and murdered 33 teenage boys and young men between 1972 and 1978 in Chicago. He buried 26 of his victims in the crawl space of his house, while disposing of the others in nearby rivers. He was also a popular figure in his community, often dressing up as a clown for children's parties and charity events. He was convicted and sentenced to death in 1980, and executed by lethal injection in 1994.

- **Gary Ridgway**, also known as the Green River Killer, who killed at least 49 women, mostly prostitutes and runaways, in Washington state between 1982 and 1998. He strangled his victims and dumped their bodies in wooded areas near the Green River, hence his nickname. He was arrested in 2001 after DNA evidence linked him to some of the murders. He pleaded guilty and received multiple life sentences without parole.

- **Dennis Rader**, also known as the BTK Killer (for Bind, Torture, Kill), who killed 10 people in Wichita, Kansas between 1974 and 1991. He taunted the police and the media with letters and clues about his crimes, but stopped communicating for several years until he resumed in 2004. He was arrested in 2005 after he sent a floppy disk to the police that contained his personal information. He pleaded guilty and received 10 consecutive life sentences.

The comments section of the post is more troubling to me than the post itself, which is vague and dubious. Some of the arguments that these people are making are ridiculous and illogical. They seem to have no sense or evidence for some of their claims. This channel has taken a turn for the worse and I am seriously considering unsubscribing from it. It used to be a source of quality content, but now it is full of nonsense and absurdity. I am very disappointed and frustrated by the decline in standards and credibility of this channel. What on earth has gone wrong here that for it to have reached the low point that is has. I am surprised that it still has 66K subscribers. That cant possibly be correct? 

This was a place where I could express myself freely and share my insights. Not anymore, when the whole show is full of nut jobs and armchair Bible experts. That is a sure sign that we are at the end of the Church Age.

The Bible is a collection of sacred texts that reveal God's will and purpose for humanity. It contains stories, laws, prophecies, poetry, wisdom, and letters that span thousands of years and multiple cultures. However, most people do not understand the Bible at all. They either ignore it, misinterpret it, or twist it to suit their own agendas. They fail to appreciate its historical and literary context, its theological and moral implications, and its relevance and application for today. They miss out on the richness and beauty of God's word, and the transformation and guidance it can offer

A general misunderstanding of the Bible is that it is a literal and historical account of God's interaction with humanity. However, the Bible is not a single book, but a collection of writings from different authors, genres, contexts and perspectives. The Bible contains poetry, prophecy, wisdom, narrative, law, letters and apocalyptic literature, each with its own purpose and style. The Bible also reflects the cultural and historical settings of its writers, who often used figurative language, symbolism, allegory and hyperbole to convey their messages. Therefore, the Bible should not be read as a scientific or historical textbook, but as a theological and spiritual guide that reveals God's character, will and plan for his people. That misunderstanding of the Bible is no more prevalent than this channel or the comments section where most are totally ignorant of the Bible and do not comprehend what it is saying at all.

I have recently become a big fan of the documentary series "Ambulance UK". The show follows the everyday work of paramedics and emergency call handlers in different regions of the United Kingdom. I have watched around 35 episodes so far and find it extremely interesting and inspiring. It is incredible to see how these healthcare professionals handle all sorts of situations, from life-threatening emergencies to heartwarming moments of compassion and humour. The show also highlights the challenges and pressures that the ambulance service faces, such as staff shortages, high demand, and limited resources. I believe it is a very realistic and educational program that showcases the human side of healthcare.

While I have always admired the UK for its rich culture and history, I have also witnessed the sad reality that many elderly people face in this country. It is disheartening to see how they are often neglected, isolated, and mistreated by society. They deserve better care, respect, and dignity in their later years. Watching this show has not only been entertaining but also educational. It reveals the truth about the challenges and struggles that people face in the UK, such as poverty, inequality, discrimination, and violence. The show does not shy away from depicting the harsh reality of life in a country that is often idealized by outsiders. By watching this show, viewers can learn more about the social and economic issues that affect the UK and its citizens. It also makes me appreciate where I live and be grateful for what I have.

What people do not understand is that both the United States and Israel will continue to oppose any form of U.N. resolution on Gaza because they know that to agree to a ceasefire or Middle East peace spells their very doom. Satan can read the Bible, and so can the Americans.

Their ultimate aim is to destroy the Palestinians thereby ensuring not only the safety of Israel but of themselves.

Despite Israel and the United States (for supplying them with weapons of mass destruction) Israel is now seen by the entire world as a terrorist state and the greatest threat to humanity's existence in history. Accordingly, they will try and continue with their slaughter of the Palestinians until they have annihilated the entire population. The Lord will intervene so the prophecies can be fulfilled.

The latest UN resolution on Gaza was adopted by the Security Council on 22 December 2023, after days of delays and negotiations. The resolution urges faster aid supplies for Gaza but does not call for an urgent suspension of hostilities, which was dropped to avoid another American veto. The US and Russia abstained from the vote, while the other 13 members supported the resolution. The resolution also calls for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages, the protection of civilians, and compliance with international law by all parties. The resolution follows a previous vote by the General Assembly on 12 December 2023, which demanded an immediate humanitarian ceasefire with a large majority of 153 in favour and 10 against, with 23 abstentions. The General Assembly resolution also condemned all acts of terrorism and expressed grave concern over the humanitarian situation in Gaza. At this stage, I do not know if it has been approved. As of now, the status of the resolution is still uncertain and I have not received any confirmation of its approval from any sources.

However, the war will and must end sooner or later, and that is when the United States will end. All wars do come to an eventual finish, but the cost of lives, resources and peace is often too high to justify the conflict. The best way to end a war is through diplomacy, negotiation, and compromise, not through violence, destruction, and hatred. War is a failure of humanity, not a triumph of it. We should strive to prevent wars from happening in the first place, and to resolve them peacefully when they do occur. War is not inevitable, it is a choice. And we can choose differently.

The resolution will be carefully crafted to avoid provoking the United States. Their cooperation is essential for the success of the negotiations. Therefore, the language should be respectful and constructive, and acknowledge their concerns and interests. The UN will abide but the United States will still fall for the snare. At the signing of the resolution, we will hear those magical two words - seven years – that will signal the beginning of the final seven years as prophesied in Daniel 9:27.

According to the biblical prophecy in Daniel 9:27, the last seven years of human history will be marked by a covenant between a world leader and Israel. This covenant will initiate a period of unprecedented turmoil and tribulation on the earth, culminating in the return of Jesus Christ. These seven years are often referred to as the 70th week of Daniel, or simply the end times. They are the most significant and decisive years in God's plan for humanity.

Once it is signed, the Judgement of the Lord will then come down upon the United States as only they will have to suffer for the first three and a half years of Hell on Earth under the Democrats while the rest of the world remains relatively unaffected.

Blessings.

 You are wasting your time by removing comments that nobody reads. They are still available on the internet, so you are not affecting me at all. Your actions show that you do not care about other people's opinions, which is contrary to the Christian values but typifies the actions of a very angry individual irrespective of a Jew or Gentile.

The 10-nation confederacy in the Bible is a prophetic concept that refers to a future alliance of ten kingdoms or regions that will oppose Israel and God's people in the end times. The idea is based on several passages in the books of Daniel and Revelation, where a beast with ten horns or a statue with ten toes represents the final form of the Roman Empire, revived and influenced by a powerful leader known as the Antichrist. Some interpreters identify the ten nations with current or historical countries in Europe or the Middle East, while others see them as symbolic of all the enemies of God throughout history. According to the Bible, this confederation will wage war against Israel and the saints, but will be ultimately defeated by the return of Christ and his heavenly army.

It is important to note that the interpretation suggesting that the USA is behind a ten-nation confederacy, which fulfils the biblical prophecy of Daniel Chapter 7 and Revelation Chapter 13 Verse 1, is a simplistic and inaccurate view. This belief lacks historical and geographical evidence, contradicts other prophetic passages, and is inconsistent with the symbolic meaning of the beasts and horns. A careful and contextual study of the biblical texts reveals that the ten-nation confederacy, which some believe is related to the ancient Roman Empire and its future revival, is not related to the USA, but rather to the ASEAN union headed by China and backed by Russia. As per this view, Putin is considered the Antichrist. Therefore, it is important not to be misled by this erroneous view, but rather to seek to understand the prophecy in light of its original context and purpose.

The proposed Middle East two state solution is a framework for resolving the conflict between Israel and Palestine by creating two independent states for the two peoples. The idea is based on the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine of 1947, which was not implemented, and the principle of land for peace, which emerged after the 1967 Six-Day War. The two state solution would establish a Palestinian state on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, with East Jerusalem as its capital, and recognize Israel's right to exist within secure borders. The exact boundaries and other issues, such as refugees, security, and water, are still subject to negotiation and dispute. The two state solution has been endorsed by the international community, including the United States, the European Union, the Arab League, and the Quartet on the Middle East. However, it faces many challenges and obstacles, such as Israeli settlements, Palestinian political division, violence, and extremism. Both sides have expressed support for a two state solution at different times, but also have doubts and reservations about its feasibility and desirability.

According to the Christian eschatological doctrine, Christ will return to Jerusalem in the future to establish his millennial kingdom on earth. This event, also known as the Second Coming or the Parousia, is based on various biblical prophecies and interpretations. Christians believe that Christ will come back in glory and power, accompanied by his angels and saints, to judge the living and the dead, and to fulfill God's plan of salvation. The exact timing and manner of Christ's return are unknown, but many Christians anticipate it with hope and joy, while others warn of the tribulations and persecutions that will precede it.

The focus of Israel is to annihilate the entire state of Gaza so they don't have to share Jerusalem with the proposed Middle East two-state solution and sign a peace covenant. The impediment to peace in the Middle East has always been Israel. There will be a two-state solution and Israel will have to share Jerusalem with Palestine. Accordingly, no matter what form of action Israel takes against Gaza it will not change what God has ordained.

There is a lot of diversity in the world, and people often have different perspectives and opinions on various topics. However, not all opinions are equally valid or supported by evidence. Some opinions are based on false assumptions, logical fallacies, biases, or prejudices. These opinions are not only wrong, but they can also be harmful to others or to society as a whole. Therefore, it is important to critically examine the sources and arguments of different opinions, and to challenge them when they are incorrect or unjustified.
