I am not sure just what your professor wishes for you to learn?
However; being in the 'Word' is always a good thing.


3-Will bless those who bless you and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."


18-And through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me."


1-This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the son of David, the son of Abraham:


5-Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of the Messiah, who is God over all, forever praised! Amen.

America will be involved in the ‘Battle of Armageddon’!



One of the major holdups in this country being involved in the ‘Battle of Armageddon’, and there are many, was the Republican Party!

As you and I know, there are a lot of good, country loving, republicans, in the United States of America and each will tell you that the ‘trump party’ could be, if not already, larger than the Republican Party!

So, this country now has the Democratic Party, the trump party and a couple smaller political parties, and the (Republican Party),is one of them, this is extremely sad to say the least!

Did you know that ‘The Unites States of America’ will be a large member of the armies fighting at the foot of Israel's Mount Megiddo?

Did you also know that ‘The Unites States of America’ will be fighting against Israel?

Did you also know that ‘The Unites States of America’ will be fighting 'against Israel' while under the control of the (anti-christ) and against ‘Jesus Christ’ and his Saints?

Read Gods Word if there is any doubt.

1 John 2:22 22Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist-denying the Father and the Son.

1 John 2:18 18Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.

1 John 4:1-3 1Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.

2 John 1:7 7I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.


 God has forewarned us of a time when the man of sin, a super human dictator known as the Beast, will be given power over all kindred, tongues and nations.  
All that dwell upon the earth shall worship him (except the saints), and he will cause all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive his mark, number or name, in order to work, buy or sell. 
(See II Thessalonians 2:4, and Revelation 13:7,8,16,17).


No, it is not trump, he is too stupid!

No, it is not president putin, he is not wicked enough!
Not even prime minister benjamin netanyahu,
he is also not intelligent enough to know to read,
in his own Tanakh, that his country will be the battle ground of the mashiach!

Why do 'Christian Preachers' support trump


Mind you that I have only travelled through the 'Christians Bible' twice
and am by no means an expert!
I do have the need for questions to better understand a Christian beliefs?
It is Written, Christians are to help spread the word (Jesus Christ)?
Because of that fact, this is another long post, sorry my friends.
While the majority of Americans
consistently report that they disapprove of trump,
and
millions rally to protest the Muslim Ban,
attacks on the Affordable Care Act
and anti-immigrant policies,

One group has not wavered in its support of trump: his faith advisors.

Jerry Falwell, Jr. has celebrated trump as a “dream president”


Jerry Falwell, Jr. should be removed from Liberty University's board and offices,

but evangelicals are content with his corruption.

By digby


The most titillating story, previously reported by the Miami Herald,

concerns the fact that Falwell and his wife, Becki,

seem to have an interesting sex life involving sharing naked photos with other men

 — men who, likely not coincidentally, enjoy healthy levels of financial assistance from the Falwells and Liberty University.

For instance,

Politico reports that Falwell sent pictures of his wife in

 "a French maid costume"

to their personal trainer, Ben Crosswhite.

They also used Liberty funds to set Crosswhite up as the owner of a lucrative gym.

and

Franklin Graham said “God’s hand intervened”

to elect him.

Pastor Frank Graham said;

“The Bible says,

‘If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins

(1 John 1:9).’

You can be forgiven!

He can cleanse your heart, and in His eyes, it will be as though you’ve never sinned.”

I ask you Frank Graham;

Did trump confess his sins to our ‘Lord Jesus Christ’ as yet?
I only ask because your bible teaches time and time again
that there is but one ‘Judge of the People',
and it isn’t you!

Graham has previously


And told crowds in Russia that homosexuals

“cannot have children, they can take other people’s children”. (WHAT)!

He has also


And has


Of civilization.

At the 2018 National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C., several speakers said

no President in American history has done as much as this one to promote


To many within and beyond the faith community, these preachers’ claims raise eyebrows.

How do Christian ministers reconcile the Jesus who said

“Love your enemy”
with a President
whose policy is to strike back at all critics?

Why would people who claim to stand for family values

so uncritically support a thrice-married man

who according to Ronan Farrow’s reporting for the New Yorker

 set up complex legal arrangements to cover up multiple affairs throughout his current marriage?

10 reasons you can’t be a Christian and vote for trump

One cannot really love Jesus and wish to follow him and also vote for a person who so clearly

embodies the opposite of everything

Christ taught, died for and demands of us.

A Christian who supports trump

either does not understand this person and his positions,

or supports him in spite of Christian convictions.

In the same way that
a person cannot love the Yankees and the Red Sox,
follow veganism and devour a supper of Texas barbecue,
or adore Joanna Gaines but hate shiplap,
one cannot really love Jesus
and wish to follow him

and also vote for a person who so clearly embodies

the opposite of everything Christ taught, died for and demands of us.

Jesus fulfilled the Jews Messianic profits


Jesus Christ fulfilled ‘all of the Jews Messianic profits’ in approximately 33 years


No human could or would be able to do this even if he/she was ‘Completely insane’!

Even if Jesus Christ was arrested and turned over to the Romans, which was a fact, with no way to escape, which he had many, this still does not take into account the thousands, if not millions of miracles reported by Israel’s profits!

“Jew” comes from “Judah,” (meaning praise)

Behold, thou art called a Jew, and rests in the law, and makes thy boast of God,"
Previously called Hebrews and Israelites, by the first century.
Just reminding you that one of the tribes (sons), of the 12 tribes of Israel was Judah (“Jew”).
Because Gods chosen people, by constantly disobeying, were dispersed into other countries.
Babylonian Empire/Medo-Persian Empire.
By the time they were allowed to return 
(By Gods intervention), 
they trickled down into one!
God knows that you know how 
'human trickle down works’.
“Jew”
 had become the most common name for the descendants of Abraham through Isaac.
“Jew” comes from “Judah,” (meaning praise),
one of the twelve tribes and the designation for the southern half of Solomon’s kingdom after his death.
From the time of the Babylonian captivity, the whole race bore this title.
Their great heritage, however,
became a source of pride and complacency which led to judgment instead of praise.
The Jews knew they were God’s chosen.
They were proud, but they looked down on those who were not Jews
thinking themselves better than others.
Paul is telling them here that it is wrong to depend on the fact of their Jewish heritage to save them.
The Babylonians were conquered by Persia about 540 B.C.
Babylonia and the Hebrew Kingdoms of the Old Testament.
Babylonia was an important, but integral, part of the Assyrian Empire
until it rose in rebellion in 626 B.C. under Nabopolassar and his son, Nebuchadnezzar.
By the time it became an empire, the Northern Kingdom (Israel) was gone.

3% of the United States of American people

For years Atheists have been handing out their version of history (Black Hole and such)!

Were we go again, 3% of the people ruling the 97% of the people!
FAITH????
What does the 3% of the United States of American people know about FAITH, and who cares what they think?
You tell 97% of the county not to stand for our flag, not to kneel in protest, not to place our FAITH on our lawn
and we cannot give one of our books to someone to be able to, or not to, read for the next 5 to 10 years?
GIVE ME A BREAK!
How about if every prisoner received the Quran and the Bible with a free help guide to help explain each book?

What about this Judge, can she give a prisoner the Quran?
You better believe it, she should!

Atheist Group Objects to Bible Given to the Former Dallas Police Officer Who Was Convicted of Murder
Freedom from Religion Foundation filed a formal complaint with Texas State Commission on Judicial Conduct
BY DOM CALICCHIO
OCTOBER 4, 2019
An atheist group that has counted Ron Reagan Jr. among its members says it was inappropriate for a judge to give a Bible to Amber Guyger, the former Dallas police officer who was convicted this week of murdering her neighbor.
The Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF) — the atheist group for which the 61-year-old son of former President Ronald Reagan has appeared in television ads — filed a formal complaint Thursday with the Texas State Commission on Judicial Conduct, FOX 4 of Dallas-Fort Worth reported.
The Wisconsin-based group objected to Judge Tammy Kemp giving one of her Bibles to Guyger.
She did so after the former officer was sentenced to 10 years in prison on Wednesday for the shooting death of Botham Jean, a 26-year-old accountant.
“You just need a tiny mustard seed of faith,” Kemp said to a tearful Guyger, handing the Bible to her before the convicted former officer left the courtroom.
“You start with this.”
Kemp also hugged Guyger — as did a brother of the murder victim, in actions that some observers said showed compassion for the newly convicted defendant.
But in a letter on Thursday to the Texas commission, the atheist group objected to what it termed the judge’s “proselytizing actions,” saying they “overstepped judicial authority” and were “inappropriate” and “unconstitutional.”
“It is perfectly acceptable for private citizens to express their religious beliefs in court,” the letter states later, “but the rules are different for those acting in a governmental role.”

Compare this Christian to your today Christians if you dare?


Before we begin in the book of Romans we need to look at the penman, Paul. 
Paul was also known as Saul. 
Saul means asked and this was the name he was using when he was persecuting the Christians. 
The name Paul means little. 
His Jewish name was Saul and his Roman name was Paul. 
I personally believe that Saul stopped using that name when he was saved by Jesus Christ, and used the name Paul from then on. He was a native of Tarsus, a city of Cilicia. 
Paul was Jewish (in fact a Pharisee). He was from the tribe of Benjamin.

Philippians 3:5 "Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, [of] the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;"

Paul was also a Roman citizen. His father was a Roman.

Paul was such a controversial figure that I feel our time will be well spent considering his background. Paul was an educated man. He had studied in Jerusalem in a Jewish school under Gamaliel. We will see in Paul's teachings some leftovers from that early learning of the law. Remember Paul was a Roman citizen, from Tarsus, a Pharisee of the Hebrews. This may explain what he says in Corinthians.

1 Corinthians 9:19-22 "For though I be free from all [men], yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more." "And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;" "To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law." "To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all [men], that I might by all means save some."

This should make it easier for all of us to understand the seemingly discrepancies in Paul's writings. He does not say the same thing all the time, because he is speaking to people who have different customs. Paul tries to reach them at their level of understanding at the time. He establishes a church in Philippi with 2 women in high position and then writes the Corinthian church for women to be silent in church. In this same 1 Corinthians, we read that women should have their head covered when they prophesy in the church.

1 Corinthians 11:5 "But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with [her] head uncovered dishonored her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven."

1 Corinthians 11:15 "But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for [her] hair is given her for a covering."

 Paul fights for the new Christian doctrine of not having to keep the old Mosaic law and then observes it himself. The reason for this is not that he is doubleminded, but that as I said, he is keeping the customs of each person he ministers to. Paul was not a hater of women as many thought, for he travelled with women ministers who worked with him. When God sent him to Macedonia, he ministered to the women on the Sabbath and Lydia and her family were saved. He moved into Lydia's house and established a church there.

Acts 16:12-15 "And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, [and] a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days." "And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted [thither]." "And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard [us]: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul." "And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought [us], saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide [there]. And she constrained us."

It appears from this that Lydia was a leader of this church in her home.

Paul never married, but it was not because he hated women but because he was so busy working for God. All of chapter 7 of first Corinthians is about this very thing.

Many of the people of our day have deified Paul and that is very dangerous. It appears to me that this is very like what the Jews did about John the Baptist. John the Baptist was more acceptable to the Jews than Jesus was. If we Christians are not careful we will forget also that Jesus Christ the Son of God is the focal point of the entire Bible, John the Baptist was a messenger (a truly great servant of God), but Jesus was the Message. The messenger is not more important than the Message. Paul was a servant of Jesus as we read in his own words in Romans 1.

Romans 1:1 "Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called [to be] an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,"

The One served is greater than the servant. Paul is not at fault in this, we Christians are. We must worship God alone. Paul's writings are important (some of my favorites). We certainly do not want to down play them at all. Tremendous teachings of the basic Christian walk are taught in the books he penned. Gentiles owe much of their church beginnings to him and Peter.

Paul was a tentmaker by trade and even worked as a tentmaker while he ministered. He tried to make his own way so that he was not subject to any particular church.

Philippians 4:12 "I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need."

Paul was satisfied with whatever he had. He did not complain.

Paul was a very special man. He went into the desert for 3 years after his encounter with Jesus and was taught of the Holy Spirit of God.

Galatians 1:16-18 "To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:" "Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus." "Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days."

Paul was also carried away into heaven at one point.

2 Corinthians 12:1-5 "It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord." "I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such a one caught up to the third heaven." "And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)" "How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter." "Of such a one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities."

Paul had been an arrogant man before he met Jesus, but he became humble to the point of calling himself chief among sinners.

1 Timothy 1:15 "This [is] a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief."

Jesus had called Paul to a life of suffering.

Acts 9:15-16 "But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:" "For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake."

We see that Paul himself lists some of these sufferings in 2 Corinthians.

2 Corinthians 11:23-28 "Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I [am] more; in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft." "Of the Jews five times received I forty [stripes] save one." "Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;" "[In] journeyings often, [in] perils of waters, [in] perils of robbers, [in] perils by [mine own] countrymen, [in] perils by the heathen, [in] perils in the city, [in] perils in the wilderness, [in] perils in the sea, [in] perils among false brethren;" "In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness." "Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches."

We also see in this verse above that his greatest suffering was for the churches he started. Some of these churches were the church at Corinth, the church at Ephesus, and the church at Philippi.

Paul helped establish the doctrine for the Christians when he fought so hard the Jews and even went to Jerusalem to get the last word from Peter stating that believers in Christ were not to circumcise males and were not to keep the Mosaic law. Chapter 15 of Acts tells of all they were to do in the way of a doctrine.

Acts 15:20 "But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and [from] fornication, and [from] things strangled, and [from] blood."

Paul's part in the founding of Christianity must be admired. He went on 3 missionary journeys establishing churches. He spent more time at Ephesus than any other of these places. On one visit, he stayed two and one half years there. Much of his writing was done from Rome where he was under house arrest for a lengthy time.

Paul was a full apostle of Christ. Apostle means (one sent with a special message). Paul certainly fell into that category. He not only preached, but healed the sick as well. Paul covered a great deal of the known world at that time also.

He fulfilled the commission that Jesus gave in Mark.

Mark 16:15 "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."

Paul carried a company with him everywhere he went to preach.

Philippians 4:3 "And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and [with] other my fellow laborers, whose names [are] in the book of life."

We see also at Antioch, Paul and Barnabas were ordained for their missionary work together. This can be found (in Acts in chapter 13 and 14). John Mark ministered for a short time with Paul and Barnabas. Luke (who wrote the books of Acts), went with Paul on these missionary journeys and even went to Rome with him. Many times in Acts, Luke (the beloved physician), when he speaks of Paul`s journeys, says “we”.

Perhaps Paul was closer to Timothy than any of these others. He loved Timothy so much that he speaks of him as a son.

2 Timothy 1:2 "To Timothy, [my] dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, [and] peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord."

This was not Paul`s son in the flesh, but in the spirit. Paul took Timothy as a youth and trained him for a minister of Jesus Christ. We would go on and on, like Dorcas, who many believe helped Paul financially. He was popular among the followers of Jesus.

Paul was sorry that he had consented to the stoning of Stephen. He and Peter had a few differences which were settled quickly. Paul worked diligently for the Lord Jesus Christ and His church after he received the Lord. At the end Paul was able to say in 2 Timothy.

2 Timothy 4:7 "I have fought a good fight, I have finished [my] course, I have kept the faith: henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at

that day."

We will finish the last of verse 8 out in saying O that I might be like Paul and receive this crown of righteousness.

2 Timothy 4:8 "Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing."

Wish to see a real Christian?

Brandt Jean said,
 “My brother would have done the same”.
The first hug was stunning enough – a young man embracing his brother’s killer for nearly minute
in the middle of the courtroom, just after telling the woman:
 “I forgive you.”
“I love you as a person and I don’t wish anything bad on you,”
18-year-old Brandt Jean assured Amber Guyger,
the former Dallas cop convicted Tuesday for shooting Botham Jean as he ate ice cream in his own home.
Guyger said she aimed to kill out of fear
after entering the wrong apartment by mistake;
Jurors said it was murder.

Show me today’s Christians
 in the news 



that 
would have said the same?
Our Christian Lord

did many times 
and one of the best 
New Testament Apostils did also Paul (Saul)!
Magic words for you to pay attention to

Many Southern Baptists - 
who number more than a million in Alabama 
tend to like trump

“White-Washed Wall”



 10

"'Because they lead my people astray, saying, "Peace," when there is no peace, and because, when a flimsy wall is built, they cover it with whitewash,

11

therefore tell those who cover it with whitewash that it is going to fall.

Rain will come in torrents, and I will send hailstones hurtling down, and violent winds will burst forth.

12

When the wall collapses, will people not ask you,

"Where is the whitewash you covered it with?"

13

"'Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says:

In my wrath I will unleash a violent wind, and in my anger hailstones and torrents of rain will fall with destructive fury.

14

I will tear down the wall you have covered with whitewash and will level it to the ground so that its foundation will be laid bare.

When it falls, you will be destroyed in it;

and you will know that I am the LORD.

15

So I will pour out my wrath against the wall and against those who covered it with whitewash.

I will say to you,

"The wall is gone and so are those who whitewashed it,

16

Those prophets of Israel who prophesied to Jerusalem and saw visions of peace for her

when there was no peace, declares the Sovereign LORD."'

Water Baptism or Holy Baptism?


Why not both?
Must one be Baptized in water to be saved through Faith?


Some believe that this statement teaches baptismal regeneration, that baptism is required for salvation. Several factors must be considered.

(1) The historical narrative of Paul’s conversion in chapter 9 shows that he was saved and filled with the Holy Spirit before his baptism.

(2) The same is true of Cornelius’s conversion in chapter 10. He was clearly saved and baptized with the Spirit before he was “baptized” in water (10:47).

(3) More importantly, one must listen to Paul’s teaching on this subject. Regeneration, not water baptism, washes away our “sins” (Titus 3:5). In fact, Paul helps us to see more properly the relation of baptism to regeneration by minimizing baptism (1 Cor. 1:14-17).

(4) The other apostles agree with these teachings. The redeeming blood of Christ washes away our sins (1 Pet. 3:21; 1 John 1:7; Rev. 1:5).

(5) The means by which sins are washed away is indicated by the participle “calling on.” The verse may then be rendered, “Be baptized, and wash away thy sins by calling on the name of the Lord.”

Water baptism is an outward action symbolizing what regeneration has already accomplished in the Christian’s life.

Paul again here, mentions the baptism of repentance, because the Jews understand that type of baptism. They will not fuss at the name of the Lord, because all through Moses' writings God is spoken of as Lord.

Verses 22:30 – 23:10: Paul’s second of 6 defenses. (Verses 1-21; 24:10-21; 25:1-12; 26:1-29; 28:17-29).

Acts 22:30

 "On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from [his] bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them."

“Chief priests and all their council”: He convened an unofficial meeting of the Sanhedrin (see notes on 4:15, 23).

The mob has been disbanded, the beating of Paul stopped, and even the chains have been removed. This chief captain sends for the rulers of the temple to come and tell him exactly what charges they have against Paul. This chief captain wants to quickly get this out of his hands. The scene is set. Paul is before them to be questioned.

Let us go back now and review what these charges are, before we get into chapter 23. The only charges they have brought against him is that they say he has taught both Jew and Gentile that they are not to keep the law of Moses anymore, and that circumcision of the men is no longer to be done. Paul has been teaching that Christianity does not require these outward shows of faith.

Perhaps, one confusing thing to them, and to us, is if Paul teaches this, why is he observing feasts, circumcising Peter, taking a Nazarite vow, and sacrificing in the temple?
The only explanation is that he is doing these outward things to satisfy the Jews, so they will allow him to teach in the temple and in the synagogues.
