The Gospel of Salvation through the shed blood of Christ, offered for our 
sins.
YES!

this

lesson

True. He came and proved His deity through His miracles, and preached 
that the
Kingdom had come, and that He was the Way to God. These people weren't 
stupid. They
didn't all realize He had to die, but as they searched the scriptures 
after His
death and resurrection, it became clear who He was and what He had done. 
He didn't
need to preach His death, burial, and Resurrection. He left that for His 
Apostles.
Which the Acts and the Epistles tell us is EXACTLY what they preached. 
And Paul
warned us that therewould be those of you who would come preaching 
"something
different", something other than Jesus crucified, and repentance, and we 
were to
reject that "message"/YOUR "message."You need to repent and get back on 
track while
there's still time, "Housekeep 1". The message you are bringing here is a 
false
one.
Repent while you can! I don't blame you. You have been led astray. But 
you need to
realize the error of your ways. You have not been taught properly. And 
you have
strayed. You need to seek God's forgiveness and repent for
following/teaching/preaching a false message.

>  As a matter of fact, He never taught that your

no. He said, "I forgive you." See, Jesus, being God, was the only man we 
have ever
known who literally had the power, the authority, not only to heal, He 
had the
power to forgive sin! He was God!

> As the people

true.

> You are worthy!

no. Only He makes us worthy. That is a hard pill for you to swallow, 
isn't it?

>  That is the only reason God sent Him and Jesus came. You are
> the Light of the world, let your Light ****ne.

this is heresy! We are not the light of the world. Only those who believe 
in Jesus
as Lord God become the light as we let His light ****ne through us. We 
have no light
of our own to ****ne.

> You, who were created in the very

because of

we only are God's child as we give ourselves to Him. We are not born 
children of
God.And with this false message you are teaching/preaching, it is obvious 
that you
are NOT one of God's children in the Biblical sense. You ARE His 
creation, however,
and you can STILL be saved from the coming wrath, but time is short.

Oh, really? And how do you respond to Isaiah saying there is none 
righteousness?

Funny, I see both words in the Bible. God says we have ALL sinned, and 
have all
fallen short of God's glory.Romans 3:23



> Jesus was sent to gently correct our error. There was no crime!
> Rejoice!

You are either greatly deceived, or you are a liar!

>

> Jesus taught the Path to Salvation.

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Salvation from what? If there is no sin?What were we 
saved
from? The "wages of sin"? perhaps?


> He taught us how to loose ourselves from

yes

> and scripture,

That is where we find Him, within the pages of His Holy Book, the Bible. 
But the
men who wrote it wrote what God told them to write, so actually God wrote 
the
Bible.

True. Gee, you finally got something right!

have faith

true again. See, you can get it right in a few areas. But the wrong you 
preach will
send MANY souls to hell.

quote the verses please. Actually, both are im****tant.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

no. Satan did. Or don't you believe in him? Maybe you ARE him?

He doesn't know sin and remorse? Define remorse? Remorse is being truly 
sorry for
our sin and wrongdoing. Don't you believe God is delighted when we are 
truly
remorseful?Sure He is. When a mass murder comes to his senses and gets 
right with
God, as did Ted Bundy, don't you think God rejoices with this true 
remorse?

>

The forgiveness is from God, to be sure. But God can only forgive when we 
are
remorsefull.

we can never become sinless. Give that one a permanent rest.

Oh, really? "Vengeance is mine," sayeth the Lord.

And I really must stop before this syrup of poison makes me truly puke.
Why have you allowed Satan to fill your heart with such corruption?

you know,
<BR>this starts out so beautifully,
<BR>I kinda almost hate to jump on the author, Housekeep 1, with both 
feet
and tear the meat off his bones!
<BR>But I must.
<BR>Here walks a soft spoken, earnest, sincere, quiet, polite
<BR>&nbsp;false teacher.
<BR>He woos you with soft, sweet music, as he teaches/preaches enough 
heresy
<BR>to send your soul to hell if you don't know any better.
<BR>I, prophet_jon, know better,
<BR>and I will show you his grievous errors if you will follow me through
his sweet, poisonous words.
<BR>Come, let us study together:

<P>Some have asked about my "Gospel." I never claimed to have a gospel,
I only
<BR>claimed to teach what Jesus has taught me.</BLOCKQUOTE>
"Housekeep 1"'s Jesus is not the Jesus of the Bible. Neither is his 
"gospel"
that which Jesus and the prophets of old and the apostles of new gave us.
&nbsp;
<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>Well, "Gospel" means "Good News,"
<BR>and Jesus indeed had good news for the world. His Gospel is my 
Gospel,</BLOCKQUOTE>
not true.
<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>which I
<BR>shall now attempt to put into words:

<P>Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Firstborn of Creation. Although
His Purity
<BR>of Spirit, and Lightness of Being maintain His Eternal Innocence and
<BR>Sinlessness, He manifest as Man, in great Love for you and respect
toward His
<BR>Father's Will.</BLOCKQUOTE>
so good so far.&nbsp;
<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>

<P>Being born of a virgin, as was His mother and twin soul, Mary,
</BLOCKQUOTE>
are you here telling us that Mary was/is a pre-existent Deity, like 
Jesus?If
she was Jesus' "twin soul" she must be Deity.
<BR>Quote me the verse, please, where you get this heresy.
<BR>Last I looked, there are three, not four, who compose the Holy 
Trinity:
<BR>Father
<BR>Son
<BR>Holy Spirit

<P>Your Holy Trinity looks like this:
<BR>Father
<BR>Mother
<BR>Son
<BR>Holy Spirit
<BR>something is wrong with this picture.
<BR>It violates scripture.
<BR>Mary acknowledged her sinful nature in written scripture, and her 
need
of a savior.
<BR>Luke 1:46, opening what has been called "Mary's Magnificat"
<BR>says
<BR>46 "And Mary said: "My soul glorifies the Lord
<BR>47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.
<BR>If Mary needed a savior, she wasn't God, or the 4th person of the 
Holy
Trinity, or Deity.
<BR>She was a sinner, like you and me. Unlike Jesus, whom the Bible says
was born of the virgin Mary, the Bible makes no such claim of Mary. She
was human like the rest of us.
<BR>&nbsp;
<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>His purity was
<BR>maintained even as His Spirit densified onto the material realm.

<P>He endured a physical body and a world of limited Thought for a 
reason,
He
<BR>endured in accordance to His Father€™s Plan of Salvation for the 
Whole
of
<BR>Creation.</BLOCKQUOTE>
Peter said to the Lord Jesus, "Lord, you know all things."
<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>

<P>Many teach that man is sinful by Nature and justly deserving of the
torments of
<BR>hell. This is not so.</BLOCKQUOTE>
This IS so."All we, like sheep, have gone astray. We have turned, 
everyone,
to his own way.
<BR>And the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all."
<BR>Isaiah 53:6 KJV (the version in which I memorized this as a child.
This is why Jesus came and died.
<BR>&nbsp;
<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>God would never make His Son assume the chains of
the
<BR>body for any deemed unworthy.</BLOCKQUOTE>
says who? says YOU? I rebuke you! Here, you are the spokesman for a liar,
the prince of liars!Notice here, folks, while this guy's words sound 
lofty
and sweet, he doesn't quote any scripture. This guy is quoting you very
pretty sounding, poison of the New Age, New Gospel of Man, not the Gospel
of God!
<BR>Run, children!
<BR>&nbsp;
<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>Unworthiness is the lie, that is the deception.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
Your words are the lie, the deception. Contrary to your lies, the Bible
says:Psalm 14:2-3
<BR>"Jehovah looked down from Heaven upon the children of men, to see if
there were any that did understand, that did seek after God.
<BR>They are all gone aside; they are together become filthy; there is
none that doeth good, no, not one.
<BR>Romans 3:10
<BR>There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who 
understands,
no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become 
WORTHLESS;
there is no one who does good, not even one."
<BR>Even St. Paul said, he had lived a righteous life, been the perfectly
righteous Jew his entire life. Then he met the Risen Lord Jesus, and Paul
realized his entire life was a pile of DUNG compared with Christ!
<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>&nbsp;

<P>Jesus knew, by coming here, that He must die, but that is not why He
came.</BLOCKQUOTE>
That is EXACTLY why He came. See above scriptures. The Lord laid on Him
the iniquity of us all. This was an Old Testament prophesy that the Lord
Jesus forknew He would have to fulfill if we were to survive death and
go to Heaven to the reward God had wanted us to have.&nbsp;
<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>

<P>Jesus came to deliver a Message from His Father, He brought "Good New"
of Great
<BR>Joy. He brought a Gospel.</BLOCKQUOTE>
The Gospel of Salvation through the shed blood of Christ, offered for our
sins. YES!
<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>

<P>The Holy Bible tells us that Jesus traveled from town to town to teach
this
<BR>Gospel. Well, what did He teach those people?&nbsp; It certainly was

Impossible.  The NIV claims that the first five books of the Bible were 
written
between 1446 BC and 966 BC.  Therefore the majority of the OT was clearly 
written
after 1,000 yaers BC.

Again not true.  The NT was created out of several different Christian 
writings in
the second half og the fourth century.

Meaning nothing.  An empty tomb could mean the body was never buried, or 
was stolen.

Again meaningless.  You have the commentaries of men.  Men with different

And there are hundreds of others with the same knowledge who have

your theology is faulty at best. I suspect it is in fact non-
existent.King David
said, of his dead infant son, "He can't come back to me. I will go to 
him."
The Bible also speaks of David, for all his sins, as a man after God's 
own
heart.
I have never heard a Bible teacher or preacher express any belief that 
David
went anywhere but to Heaven when he died.
The Old Testament standard was righteousness. "The just shall life by 
faith."
The New Testament standard is the Righteousness of Jesus Christ, our 
mediator.

john 1:1
"The Word was in the beginning, and that very Word was with God, and God 
was
that Word."
Pe****a
john 1:14
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we saw his glory, a 
glory like
that of the first-born of the Father.
Pe****a

Revelation 22:13
"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the

Rev 22:16

Jesus calls himself the Alpha and Omega, a title reserved for God!

I'm new here, and I don't want to step on toes,
but I'd be happy to have the $300.

Gee, a joke I got that someone else actually admits he didn't.
(That was not a put-down, btw) Just trying to be polite.
S I D S = sudden infant death syndrome, typically strikes children 
between (I
believe) 1 day and 1 year old.
So the clothes would not have been worn much.
Get it now? I don't think it's funny, btw. But that's me. I think there 
are some
things too sacred to make jokes about. Like Princess Diana's death, for
instance. And I don't believe I've heard any jokes about that yet. Don't 
wish
to, either.

 I may inject my 2 cents here (and I will presume I may since this is a
relatively public place for this discussion), when I was in seminary, 
this
discussion of the several lineages went approximately thusly, as I 
recall.
The reason we have several different lineages was because of whom the 
lineages
were written to/for. The jews traced the lineages through the mother. I 
forget
at this moment which ones does that. The non-jews (greeks) traced the 
lineage
through the father. Tho Joseph wasn't truly Jesus' father, it was 
im****tant to
do***ent for those who required it (back then when it was written) that 
both
Jesus' earthly parents were of the house of David, tho there were 
obviously
differences at several points. So one lineage came through Mary, of the 
house
of David. The other lineage came through Joseph of the house of David.
As to any confusion we gentiles may suffer, just ask a Christian jew and 
he
will clear it right up. I am, in fact, in contact with a jewish Christian 
in
Houston, Texas who traces his ancestry back to the original church at
Jerusalem. I'll ask him about this, but I'll bet money that is what he 
will
say. One lineage comes through Mary, the other through Joseph.
you're welcome

symbol that you're putting me to sleep (in case you couldn't figure it 
out)
No modern scholar that I have ever enountered believes that the King 
James
version of 1675 is infallible. In fact, the King James version contains 
some
26,000 counted errors. Just compare it to a 1st C. rendition, that being 
the
Pe****a (the only version I know of that dates back to the 1st C.)
Compare it to the NIV, one of the more accurate of the modern 
translations.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzI don't know any 
serious
scholar who even believes that we have an inspired modern translation, 
tho we
have quite a few good ones. Only the ignorant claim that the King James 
-- or
any other version -- is perfect. What the informed claim is the 
infallibility
of the "original autograph" which doesn't even exist anymore.

But I noticed something interesting. I'm a body hair lover.
See in the 1st pic of the set, her unretouched hairy navel?
If her navel is that hairy, guess what else is?

a debt of gratitude is owed to all these fine ladies who
understand that men have interests like women do.
These ladies realize that we have an emotional/spiritual need to see
gobs of ***** hair and armpit hair.
And these kind ladies have agreed to feed those harmless appetities.
Thanks, ladies!

And follows is my own tribute to hairy ladies:

The time has come for all you Mormons to open your eyes, your hearts,
your souls, your minds, to the fact that you're being deceived.
God is not mocked!
What you reap, you shall sow!
If we could earn our way into God's kingdom, Jesus would not have had
to die!
Repent! Turn your lives, your hearts, your souls, your sins, over to
the Risen Christ, God in Flesh!
Quit trying to become gods yourselves!
"I, the Lord, Your God, am a Jealous God!"
"Thou shalt have no other Gods before me!"
"I am the Lord your God! Aside from me, there is no other!"
If you are truly interested in where the above verses are found, 
I suggest you close the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine, and the Pearl
read the Bible. The book of Revelation tells us that nothing may be
added to the Bible! Not a word, not a verse, not a chapter, cvertainly
not 3 additional books, like the Book of Mormon!
Explain to me, please, somebody, what is missing from the Bible that
we need the Book of Mormon?
The answer is, we don't need the Book of Mormon!
The Bible is totally sufficient for its divine purpose:
The Bible was given to bring us to a saving faith in Christ Jesus.
Once we have come to a saving knowledge of the Christ, we continue
reading the Bible to learn daily lessons on how to live the Christian
life. The Bible is totally sufficient! You can't possibily explain to
me why we need any other "holy books".
Try!
you won't succeed!
The end is at hand!
Turn to Christ, the Only Way, before it's too late!
I predict this world will not exist 10 years from now!
The 2nd coming of the Lord Jesus will probably take place sometime
around the turn of the century!
Praise God!
The signs all point to his emminent return!
BE READY! or BE DOOMED!

I am an author

I have written an incredibly interesting novel that I am 
currently shopping out to several publishers.

However, due to the nature of the book, its xxx-rated ***,
I am convinced that I'm going to have to make major revisions
chopping out most of the xxxrated *** to sell this book
through a main-line publisher.

So here's what I propose to do.

I'm going to offer it here, to you.

I'll even send you a free sample, so's you know I'm not
b.s.ing. First, you can see I know the English language.

Now you email me, ask for the sample.

If you like the sample, you send me an email request for
my novel.

I will tell you where to send your check for $10.

I will then post you the novel when I get your money.

Simple as that.

Bear in mind that the novel is actually book 1 and book 2,
and so you want to plan on actually spending $17.50 to get 
both books.

Best of all, you get to preview it free.

please write me today.

jayw...@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 you

I promise you you'll enjoy my novel.

everyone who's read even part of it thinks it's wonderful.

also look for my new murder mystery, soon to be available.

thanks again

The difference between Jesus and the phonies, of course, is that the

And He WILL return in the next several years to prove the point once and

You guys spout "church history" but you don't acknowledge that the End of
the Bible,
the Epistles, beginning with Acts, are the history of the 1st Century
church, as set up by Christ, and continued by Paul and the Apostles 
(those
whom Jesus had taught the truth "religion"), and those who recorded their
activites, church and otherwise, for those who would be their followers
(first called Christians at Antioch).
again, (I'm really getting tired of spoonfeeding you people and you 
ignore
the TRUTH and go about debating mindlessly)
Acts 20:6-7
"But we (Paul and his buddies) sailed from Philippi anfet the Feast of
Unleavened Bread, and five days later joined the others at Troas, where 
we
stayed seven days.(5 days travel time, and 7 days in Troas. Almost 2 full
weeks without any mention of church services, Jewish/gentile or 
otherwise)
On the 1st day of the week, we came together to break bread. Paul spoke 
to
the people and, because he intended to leave the next day, kept on 
talking
until midnight."
wa la. church services on SUNDAY! In the 1st century. Before the end of 
the
book of Acts, and certainly before Rome sacked Jerusalem.
Then Paul instructs the church at Corinth: 1 Cor. 16:1-2
"Now about the collection for God's people: Do what I told the Galatian
churches to do:
On the 1st day of every week, each oneof you should set aside a sum of
money in keeping with his income, saving it up, so that when I come, no
collections will have to be made."
We learn several things from the 1 Cor 16:1-2 passage.
1. when the money was to be given - Sunday
2. the frequency - Every Sunday, every week.
3. who was to give, "every one of you" (Corinthian believers)
4. the basis of the giving "as I commanded the Galatian church" and "as 
you
are able financially"
5. the manner of the giving, (see #4)
In these 2 passages, we see 1. They wor****pped on Sunday. 2. Paul 
COMMANDED
Sunday wor****p and giving to the sup****t of the missionaries (Paul and 
the
other Apostles who were traveling/preaching/establi****ng churches:
Barnabas, Timothy)
end of discussion.
We don't need to debate "tradition" or "R Catholic " edicts.
Scripture can speak for itself VERY well.

Gal 1:6
Paul said,
"I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the One who called you 
by the
grace of Christ, and are turning to a different gospel, which is really 
no gospel
at all. Evidently, some people are throwing you into confusion and are 
tryint to
pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven 
should
preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be 
eternally
condemned. As we have already said, so now I say again: (it was so 
im****tant,
Paul wrote it 2 times in a row) If anybody is preaching to you a gospel 
other
than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!"
And what is the original gospel?
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that He sent His only Son, so that whoever 
believes
on Him should not perish, but should have eternal life.
John 3:17
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but 
that the
world through Him (the Son) might be saved.

I can't give you all the quotes, and I don't need to. Those who are 
interested
can look it up. Those who aren't interested won't bother whether I give 
you the
quotes or not.
See how that works?
the simple evidence for 2 comings of Christ is plainly this:
We have a multitude of prophesies regarding the coming of Messiah. There 
are a
set of prophesies, including Psalm 22, 23, and 24 which describe the 
Messiah
dying for the sins of His chosen. There is another set of prophesies that
describe the Messiah coming to reign for a thousand years. We believe 
that
these  2 sets of prophesies describe to advents. In the 1st one, He 
provides
redemption through His spilt blood. He dies, rises, ascends, and then 
returns
to establish His physical/spiritual kingdom on earth.
simple.
and there are definitely a plethora of verses that sup****t this view.

in an encyclopedia of Christian thought  called Evidence That Demands A
Verdict, some of the greatest minds on the planet, down through the 
years,
have said the Divine origin of scripture is evident to anyone with a mind

the people Timothy was writing to knew what "scriptures" Tim was 
referring
to when he wrote those words. The jews/Christians were not nearly as 
obtuse
as you/ and they were / are not nearly as obtuse as you claim that they 
are.
Tell a Jew, the next time you see one, just how dumb you think they are 
for
believing the Old Testament is/was Divinely inspired. When you make these
truly stupid, totally non-educated, ill thought out-or not thought out at
all, comments, you don't just slap the Christians and Christ in the face.
You also slap the Jews in the face. You may want to read up on what God 
does
to those who don't honor His chosen people, the Jews.j

perhaps we could concede both points. Certainly we cannot ignore the 
point made by a fulfilled Jew, i.e, one who at least appears
to follow the Messiah/Christ. However, the point I believe the gentile 
is/was trying to make was/is that one must be both a Jew by
race and a Jew by belief. Being a Jew by race and then claiming to be an 
atheist by faith will not please God.???

I was once a believer who believed firmly in the Pre-Trib Rapture. I 
believe
today that a Rapture may take place (I'm not sure anymore--I'm fairly 
convince
it won't), but not Pre-Trib.
I read a book a few years ago, I apologize for not remembering the exact
title. It was to the effect of:
Christians Will Live Through the Tribulation, and How to Prepare For It
by Robert Smith ( I believe) Sorry my memory is faulty here.
At any rate, the author makes a very good point.
If there is a rapture, then 7 years of tribulation, then the 2nd coming, 
even
an idiot who can count will know the day of Jesus' return. However, Jesus 
told
us NO man would be able to fortell the day or the hour of His Coming 
(2nd).
This leaves us with a mid-trib Rapture at best.
A better scenario is a time during which there is an 
Armageddon/tribulation.
Somewhere in that period of time (an exact 7 years to the day is 
ridiculous --
the 7 years of tribulation/Armageddon must be taken symbolically as is 
much of
the Apocryphal scripture--I'm not saying we deny the apocalypse, I'm 
saying we
have to understand that a lot of the meaning of the various passages is
deliberaetly hidden from our eyes with symbols.) there is a Rapture if 
there's
going to be.
I personally believe that the church will be taken up at the 2nd Coming, 
when
Jesus returns to stop total destruction of the world and sets up His 
earthly
kingdom. We who are in Him will be taken up to meet Him in the air as He 
comes
to claim His own (church and earth). As we join His incoming forces, 
He/we
conquer the earth together and assume command over all, as He sets up His
earthly kingdom putting His Saints (we believers) in charge of running 
the
world.
He will place believers in control of everything worthy of
keeping--business/government/computers, etc. We will find a sufficient 
number
of true believers to accomplish all necessary tasks on this world.

Mike
God Bless you, (I'll presume for the moment to call you 'bro')
I reacted to this blasphemer in anger, which is my right.
You reacted in love, which is your right.
Tho I will not appologize for my righteous anger,
You took the other path, and now this person (I'm being generous) has 
seen
both sides of God.
Good for you for showing him God's love while I was only able to show him
God's wrath.
I believe both are genuine, appropriate responses.
But I am unable to show God's love when... I believe you know the rest.
I've known a few with your Spirit.
Bless you, bro'.

IN case the rest of the NG didn't get the reference,
this nut is claiming to be Satan.

> There are no absolute values.

I believe that if you read C.S. Lewis's Mere Christianity, this myth will
once and for all be put to rest. Dr. Lewis takes you through about 5 (I
havn't read it lately, so I'm describing this from memory) chapters of
very basic logic to prove (very easily, I might add) that there is at
least a definite possibility that God exists..Even the most hardened
atheist owes it to himself to attempt to take Dr. Lewis on in this 
regard.

At any rate, one of the proofs Dr. Lewis makes for absolutes is that,
indeed, they do exist. He points out, that if you look at cultures all
over the planet, you find certain basic values in all. the one I remember
is that in all cultures, it is wrong for a man to desert his post in
battle. That is what Dr. Lewis calls an absolute. Virtually no culture on
the planet accepts the actions of a man, who, in the thick of the battle,
jumps up and runs away.
This is cowardice no matter what name you call it, or what color you 
paint
it.
So whatever they be, there ARE absolutes. I believe he probably points 
out
that you may not, just for the hell of it, walk up to your neighbor's
door, wait until he opens it in response to your knock, and shoot him to
death for no reason other than that you were testing to see if your new
pistol works. That would be wrong no matter what culture you live in. 
It's
called murder, and that's an absolute.
