What is the good news of Christianity? [Spirituality & Religion]

rckt148 · 61-69, M Best Comment
Its not actually hard to know the good news
but getting people to know the truth and accept it is
Religion has made the true Church .Luke Warm
Having a form of Godliness ,but no power
We were told if we humbled ourselves ,seek the face of God and repent ,He would hear from Heaven ,forgive our lawlessness (sin is transgression of the law .iniquity is lawless ) Sin ,,and heal our land ,,,see any healing going on? So is God the problem ,,or the Church ?

Christ had already removed the sin put on mankind by Adam
now the only one we can blame if we get blotted out of the Book of Life is ourselves ..

[b]His yoke is easy and His burden is light [/b]

But to many listen to the liar (doctrines of men
Colossians 2 was not a call to end the commandments of God as some say (it was an end to the old covenant ,sacrifice ,feast days ,circumcision ,the need for an earthly priest to confess our sins and make sacrifice to )
It was a warning about Church's forcing man made doctrines on the saints ,while we neglect the true things of God
Like commandments God Himself made Holy ,and a day He set aside to spend time with Him ,not sun worship as the pagans did ..

20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, 21 (touch not; taste not; handle not; 22 which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? 23 which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

Any washing or will worship in the 10 ,,are the 10 handwritten ordnances ?

18 Let no man[b] beguile you of your reward[/b] in a

[b]voluntary humility and worshipping of angels[/b], intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind

Who tells us its impossible to please God ?
All we need do is repent and follow the examples of Christ
Baptism (buried in his death )Communion (reminds us of the cost of our salvation ) Keeping the only day made Holy by God Holy (and not believing the lie that one ended at the cross )
Praying (When we pray for others we are healed
Give ,when we give freely ,its given back to us
forgive ,(as we forgive others ,He forgives us
Live a sanctified life ,overcoming the world ..(as He walked so should we ,,living in the world ,but not of it )

We have signs to know the seasons we are in
but many times its been said we are in the last days ,but we weren't
So now we take it for granted ,the Master has tarried ,maybe He is not coming at all ,,we were warned about this way of thinking ,we should always be ready ,if its tomorrow or thousands of years ,we should be ready

We were warned in the last days a power would rise up that was ,then it was not and it will be again ,A kingdom or how about a Church ,,well its back (actually is was only wounded from 1798 -1929 ,,the wound is now healed .
and has been busy for a long time ,altering the plan of God ,teaching lies (like the 10 commandments ended at the cross and a man can forgive you of your sins ,,he can't )

The good news ,no one wants to hear ,,maybe its just to easy and the lie sounds more believable

Eccl 12:12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

13 [b]Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter[/b]: [quote]Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.[/quote]

14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

Old is confirmed by the New

[quote]1 John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.[/quote]

1 John 2:4 [b]He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar[/b], and the truth is not in him.

Revelation 14:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Christ .

(this one was for the man who keeps saying blessed and saved do not mean the same thing ,,its also called patience ,these are those who earned the right ,through the blood of Christ to enter the holy city and eat from the tree of life )

Revelation 22:10 And he saith unto me, [b]Seal not[/b] the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

[b]Daniels part was to be sealed until the end when our knowledge was able to discern this ,,the signs as to who the beast are ,were now all fulfilled ,we should be able to know who it is now ,,in Daniels time you would not have been able to tell who it was ,,it had not done the things foretold yet[/b]

( Daniel 12:4 King James Version (KJV)
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

[b]Now we should know ,,IF WE STUDY who works for satan and it trying to trick the saints into following him /Them
False god ,False religion .False Messiah [/b]

[b]These Prophecies are for us ,we are in the last days
now its all coming to pass at the same time [/b]

11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

12 And, behold, I come quickly; and [b]my reward is with me[/b], to give every man according as his work shall be.

13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

14 [b]Blessed are they that do his commandments[/b], that they [quote]may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.[/quote]

I like this version better

Rev 22:14 [e]Blessed (happy, prosperous, to be admired) are those who [b]wash their robes [in the blood of Christ by believing and trusting in Him—the righteous who do His commandments][/b], so that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city.

15 Outside are the dogs [the godless, the impure, those of low moral character] and the sorcerers [with their intoxicating drugs, and magic arts], and the immoral persons [the perverted, the molesters, and the adulterers], and the murderers, and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying (deception, cheating).

Now some will say keeping the commandments is works for salvation ,,that is a lie ,satan is very good at his job .

If You say keeping Gods commandments are not part of the plan that proves youdo actually know God ,,you alter this prophecy
because we see over and over that is what God said

To keep the faith in Christ and the commandments of God ,
Then you have the right to enter into the Holy City and be a part of New Jerusalem ,,the redeemed of the Lord from the earth

Rev 22: 19 and if anyone takes away from or distorts the words of the book of this prophecy,[b] God will take away [from that one] his share from the tree of life and from the holy city (new Jerusalem), which are written in this book.
[/b]

Its not a hard plan ,,only those who believe satan thinks it is ,,

Matthew 11:28 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and [b]I will give you rest.[/b]

Its satan that has us running to and fro ,,playing Church and following the wrong road

Matthew 7:13-14 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
13 [b]Enter ye in at the strait gate[/b]: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

14 because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and [b]few there be that find it.[/b]

So be warned ,,its not the popular road you want to be on ,,its the one few actually find

Luke 12:32 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
32 Fear not, [b]little flock[/b]; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

The good news is ,,those who actually listen to God
will find it ,,and Christ has already made the slate clean
we need only repent for our own sins
and make straight the way ,,the Kingdom of God is at hand

@Sueisright and if you actually knew as much as you pretend ,the ones I accused of saying they can forgive your sins when they can't ,changed Gods laws ,killed in Gods name ,worship angels ,forced humility ,was pagan now say they are Christian , lost its power from 1798 -1929
I told you the prophecy over 500 yrs older then Christ warned of a Church leading Gods people to sin
it said the Church would be shaken ,but people still flock to it ,,the shaking is all the atrocities exposed .
I said 1.4 billion say Sunday is holy when its not

The Muslim religion was said to have been a result of an angel telling the prophet that Christ was not the son of God ,,when it was the same angel that spoke to Daniel and his prophecy has been 100% accurate ,and it foretold of Christs Baptism ,His going to the cross by His own people ,and exactly what year the gospel would go to the Gentiles and the Jews no longer the chosen ,now the adopted ,the wild olive branch grafted into the true vine has the same rights that were once exclusive to them ,,but when they crucified the Messiah ,they broke the covenant God made with them

It was a Roman emperor that changed Gods laws ,not God
and the world allowed it

So how does it feel to be apart of that ?
I think I try to expose it ,,
My family is taking in kids who drop out and getting them to graduation ,,they feed 1000 homeless many times a year
go to the shut in's and feed them a hot meal and help them get services they need

Now you have done a lot of attacking my faith and my beliefs
(you obviously know nothing about )
What contribution are you making since you brought up those suffering ,,what are you doing to help anyone besides attacking people of faith ?

just curious ,,since you keep accusing ,,,

[quote] Hope your proud to be a part of that.[/quote]
Sueisright · 31-35, F
I do plenty to help those that deserve it. I don’t help druggies alcoholics ,thieves and other wasters but I’m happy to help those that deserve it.
Maybe you think finding your spaceman forgives all your past I don’t believe in so.
As the saying is leopards don’t change there spots it’s only the situation that makes things look like they’ve changed but under a different circumstance they soon show there spots again.
rckt148 · 61-69, M
@Sueisrightyou can raddle on ,,acting like you know something about me ,,well lets cut to the chase
Here you can actually know something about me ,since you seem so ready to condemn me and you don't know crap about me ,,I can't change my spots ,,,
At 17 yrs old I was serving my country saving lives not taking them as a member of the busiest search and rescue team ,,US Coast Guard base Miami Beach ,not only did we save lives we stopped tons and tons of drugs from coming into south Florida ,I am decorated for acts of valor and bravery beyond the call of duty ,,I hate to brag ,but what the hell if you are going to judge me you should know something about the man your judging ,,
Buy 21 I was the lead machinist for a major rail road ,training men to work on a new class of engine that was in the new line of locomotives ,,I worked on the same class of engines on ships so I had a tad bit of experience ,,
I ran another company after my divorce from my first wife who left me over smoking weed and drinking beer ,,
I built high performance diesel engines
The man she married turned out was one of the biggest pot growers in Florida and the prime suspect in her Dads murder ,,she didn't stay with him long ,she is now on husband #4 and she and I are actually close again ,she see's me as a man of God and an awesome Dad ,as do many who know me ,,

I did go a little nuts after our divorce and moved in with a drinker so my alcohol consumption did take a turn for the worst for a while ,and I continued to smoke quite a bit of weed ,but hey ,I was a rock star to most of the people who knew me ,thats what rock stars did in the 80s
I ended up forming my first professional band ,,
no longer playing for beer and tips ,,$400,00 for 4 hours was the going rate and all our drinks were free ,so yea I could put some alcohol away ,but I never drank while I preformed ,they let us party all night after the clubs closed ..so my biggest sin was drinking and driving ,and I was not married to the woman I was sleeping with for 5 yrs

But I was hurt on the job ,I fell 15 feet and messed my back up royally
I was invited to go to North Carolina for a vacation with my Dad and he abandoned me there ,,my little brother was having an affair with my woman ,so Dad thought I might kill him so I was the one he hauled off ,,He said he know I was a survivor and would make my way ,my brother could not ,,he had no skills to fall back on ,,I did .
6 months later I met my 2nd wife ,,she was 12 yrs younger
I was already in my own home, owned a car and a work van
I was restoring mansions for one of the richest men in America ,and his wife was an actress back in the days of Clark Gable ,,so her parents were happy to see us wed 1 yr to the day of my coming to the mountains ,,To them I was very successful and a good catch for their daughter .

I learned many new trades doing that job ,that lead to me being asked to run my Uncles dry wall company
So I helped build homes in the day ,and rocked out packed clubs at night ,,but my back was getting worse
It was getting harder and harder to just walk ..so I took stronger drugs ,,I could not quit now ,life was finally going my way again .
MRI revealed 7 decompressed discs ,,so I went under the knife on my 30th birthday ,the surgery took 7 hours ,and they lost me on the table several times ,,and they could not repair my spine ,only remove the bone that was crushing nerves and causing me so much pain .
9 days later I was back on the job ,laying hard wood floors ,,so I needed help staying on my feet ,so I began to take powerful pain meds and mix them with Alcohol
I paid off my home in the next 4 yrs
But that is when I developed the spur in my shoulder
I was dumb enough to say I didn't need God the surgeon was not moved by prayer ,but $20.000.00 sure got him in gear ,

My uncle let me go,I was unable to work a full day and I had no way to pay my bills
People hounding my wife for my truck payment ,I owed on music equipment ,I was playing bigger venues so I needed bigger and equipment
Builders knew what my uncle pulled on me so they gave me work that would have been his ,
I proved I was capable of taking on more and more jobs
And soon I was running the site to build mansions for the rich and famous
I was known for quality ,honesty ,never taking short cuts ,and never taking a penny that was not due me ,,and I always completed the job when I said I would ,I have met dead lines working night and day and paying people out of my pocket .
But the spur finally paralyzed my arm
doctors could not find the cause of my pain until after my wife left me
I had cheated on her 1 time ,and it eat at me for 7 yrs
so I called her family together and mine and confessed all my sins ,not just the cheating ,anything anyone one might hold against me in the future ,,and it cost me for that

When I lost everything ,no one was there for me ,no one
but God ,,I was fed and clothed ,and soon
strangers did hear me sing at a Church/mission
and soon I was on a new job ,Lot manager of the biggest car lot in western Carolina , driving new cars everyday and now playing for Christian events ,soon I am doing concerts and even went into the studio and recorded an album which I sold at my concerts
I found my kids in the beginning of 1995 ,by November I had full custody of them (they had been abused and molested ,they still say to this day I was their saviour ,I say we saved and raised each other ,,I seen they got educations that I never got ,I worked very hard ,in pain ,but it paid off ,my kids and my grandkids are all doing well for themselves ,and we all serve our fellow man ,and God .
2 of my kids are nurses ,1 a veterinarian ,
my oldest granddaughter owns a photo studio and recently started following in my footsteps building homes for Habitat For Humanity ,My Grandson is an aviation mechanic for a major airline ,my youngest granddaughter is taking her 3rd yr of childcare development ,,she wants to help special needs kids ,,like her Mom who is raising 2 that are not her own ,,my middle daughter has fostered 25 kids from parents who loved drugs more then their kids
SO now you actually know a little about me ..
Tell me dear ,,where was the sins I can't make up for or the stripes I can't change ,?
I have hurt people ,,if you bully people around me ,I will ruin your day ,take advantage of others ,mess with kids ,
I am your worst night mare ..and I know all the right people
This is just a tiny piece of my life
From 1986 until about 4 yrs ago
I worked to support a lot of people to see they did not have to kill themselves as I did ,and I did it in severe pain
I am not messing with you ,,you seem to have a problem with me ,,,but at least while you keep messing with me
you leave others alone ,,
so what else ya got ,,?
And as you can see ,,I have not been rude to you
or one time assaulted your character ,,
I am not the one who seems bitter ,,
nor do I pick and chose who is worth of help
I help anyone ,until I see they are not helping themselves and they expect me to enable them ..then I still at least take them to the mission .

The good news is that we can be forgiven and know God personally and have a real relationship with Him, experiencing His love ,joy and peace. We also know that we will spend eternity with Him in the most amazing place imaginable

rckt148 · 61-69, M
@Sueisright I love when people repeat that cause they heard it from others who don't believe, try selling that to me ,my faith is based on fairy tales ,,
A man raised by a witch ,a real honest to goodness witch
who beat her kids and cheated on a good man ,but had a Mom who suffered everyday ,I watched die so slowly ,and everyday she praised her God ,,so I prayed to Him to save her ,cause she was the only one who loved and protected me .
But not only did she die ,her sister died too ,same night ,1 hour apart ,and from totally different things .the one who also protected me when she could was gone too.
My Grandpa had the church next door built and the pastors house ,,but never did any of those people come to visit Grandma ,,but Grandpa faithfully paid his and Grandma's tithe ..the preacher said he knew Grandma was a Christian ,he often heard her whistle religious hymnals
So why would I believe on a God ,that lets a little boys Grandma suffer ,and takes her from me ?
But against my will ,I was taken to a Church on Jan 18th ,1994 ,,my wife just left me and I was moments from suicide when a man I swore to kill calls ,said God spoke to him and for me not to do anything stupid ,he is on his way to me
I tell him not to come but he comes anyway .and wrestles me down and takes my truck keys ,,a truck I have to turn in to the finance company .my wife wants it repoed ,,and she has sold my car ,,my Mustang ,,it was a classic
My arm is now paralyzed ,I can't work ,so I lost my contracts I worked hard to get ,and my wife wants me out of our home ,she has filled for divorce ,,but I am still worth $70.000 .00 dead ,and I want her to have that too ,,
But I am dragged kicking and screaming to a Church ,,
A preacher says he can't speak or pray until the one in his church comes up for prayer or leaves ,I stood up to leave ,thats the last thing I remember ,
and the next thing I know I am soaked in tears ,mine and his ,,
And I am no longer a drug addict or a drunk ,,I can just feel it ,,and I never asked him to pray for that ,,
I wanted my wife back .25 yrs later I am still clean and sober except meds prescribed to me by a doctor ,and I won't take ANYTHING I don't have a prescription for .and even that the dose is really low .but I have 12 decompressed discs ,both knees bone to bone ,and spurs in both shoulders ,but yet I still walk ,even work and preform on occasions
but my doctors ask every visit ,,HOW ,,? how is it I can still walk and have the range of motion of a 35 yr old ?

Easter 1995 I find my kids that have been hidden from me for 12 yrs ,,I have not heard their voice ,not a picture
So June I come to Florida to watch my oldest Graduate High School .she turned 18 in August ,,November
A single Dad gets full custody of the 2 minor daughters
Within 3 days I find out I am approved for my disability and I get 3 checks in 3 days adding up to $12 .000.00
Now here is the part I ask people to explain and I'll shut up
My youngest Daughter had also been crippled
I spent $20.000.00 after a year of being crippled for a surgeon to remove part of my spine that was crushing so many nerves I couldn't walk
now I find out my kid has been crippled too for 4 yrs
from age 8 until 12 ...when she said God healed her
The best doctors in the country have examined her ..
they say bones that were so brittle they were afraid her spine would break ,now showed no sign of ever being diseased
How they found the disease was from a broken leg that wouldn't heal ,,now its showing no sign it was ever broken either .
She was on no special pills and the calcium pills she flushed saying they were horse pills
She was in a chair ,wearing a body brace ,home schooled already on disability ,,and suddenly after crawling to an alter 4 yrs ,she is healed
The doctors say its impossible ,,but the MRI's and Xrays don't lie ,,something happened ,,she is 38 now ,2 kids
she is a nurse and she takes care of a horse ranch
Still walking ,,was it a fairy tale who healed my kid of her disease and me of my addictions with no withdraw at all ?
and the real funny thing is I had visions too
and 2 have come to pass ,just as my visions showed

NO one brain washed me ,,I was sure God hated me and I hated Him back
But something changed me and my life
and I am pretty sure it wasn't a fairy tale
