My parents are unsaved, how can I honor them?

Q: Dear Minister, I’m having a hard time dealing with my unsaved parents, so I was wondering, could you explaining what the bible means about honoring your Father and Mother. Does this honor apply to my situation?

A: Mistakably enough, we are condition to believe giving gifts to our parents on certain day’s set-aside every year somehow this define what honor is. Unfortunately, while this maybe a worldly expression of honor biblical honor has a much broader meaning.

A son honors his father and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honor? And if I be a master, where is my fear? The LORD of hosts is asking. O priests that despise my name. And you say, wherein have we despised thy name? (Mal 1:6)

True honor is evidence not in giving gifts  once a year but in an ongoing life of obedience to the parents. It’s an absolute lack of respect to give gifts to your parents on father’s day and mother’s day and remain disrespectful the remainder of the year. I call this hypocritical dishonor. Hypocritical dishonor is the actions of someone that will attend church on Sunday claiming to believe the instructions of the bible only to live a compromising spiritual lifestyle the rest of the week. Thus, many people have been condition to give gifts to their parents once a year but the rest of the days of the year they live a conflicting and dishonoring lifestyle.

‘These people, says God, honor me with their words, but their heart is really far away from me”. (Mat 15:8)

Therefore in order to really bring honor to the parents children must be willing to live a life in accordance to the teaching of the parents. This sort of honor extents the life of the parents and is passed down to the children’s, children. Jesus said “I honor my Father, and you do dishonor me”. (John 8:49)  So how did Jesus honor the Father? The honor was displayed in his acts of obedience too the father and this honor were passed down to the church.

Wherefore, I must clarify, as Christians we can’t always fulfill the fullness of the purpose of the scriptures to honor our parent when our parents are unsaved. Here’s why, while we can honor them in our treatments of speech, and helps, we can’t always submit ourselves to their full obedience because our unsaved parents instructions sometimes disregards the will and laws of God.

Therefore we are commanded to honor our unsaved parents in all, as long as what they may describe as honor doesn’t challenge the perfect will of God. Jesus explains “If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple”. This doesn’t teach us to literally hate our kinsmen saved or unsaved, on the other hand, if it meant a choice between honoring God and honoring my family as believers we must choose to honor God above all.

William Price “OSCAR Award for the most popular Heretic”

I recently posted a article titled “William (The Flip Flop) Price: The True Story”, and in that article I exposed 17 years of William “The flip flop” Price ritual bipolar behaviors. I also made it logically clear Price past history declares it won’t be long before he has another episode. But as for now his psychotic symptoms are suppress by the pampering razor blade of Calvinism, and William Price had no sensitivity to the fact his esophagus has been slash by its falsehood.  Instead of repenting, reeking in his own blood, he lashes out at those that tried to help him reach a sound mind in the past. This is his normal bipolar behaviour I might add, he enjoys burning down bridges after he’s crossover them, only to renew his contractor license to rebuild those bridges after he have shook himself like Samson from his depressive illness.

In a desperate attempt to salvage whatever dignity Price supposedly thinks he has, he lashes out at the sound doctrine of holiness. This man is spiritually voiceless and suffers from violent flow of illusions, even worst, these illusion makes him believe he can talk intelligently about what knows nothing about, so to make himself seem intellectual he accuses those who believe in “Coming out” from among the world and lives different lifestyles heretics.  Where are his scriptural grounds for labeling holiness a heretical operation of man?  He has none. Furthermore William (The Flip Flop) Price, it’s amusing to see you calling even a genuine heretic a heretic you heretic. When and if there were such a OSCAR Award for the most popular Heretic you would win by a landslide for the most outstanding achievement. Moreover, Price your next reality show episode of “The bipolar heretic” is behind its regular scheduled program.

This Bipolar laboratory rat of all faiths has really out done himself with his accusations. But what else do you expect from a weak link that refuses to adhere to the sound medication of the word of God claiming to be cured of his bipolarism by his new found hellish doctrine called Calvinism. This is the same tactic against holiness Satan carried to Eve, only now he speaks through one of his psychotic ministers claiming to be God sent. Calvinism never save anyone, in fact Calvinism is the only religious practice William “Bipolar” Price converted too that he can finally call home.  Why so? Simple, followers of John Calvin doctrine really don’t know if they’re truly saved, since the LORD chooses whom he wills and refuses others. Therefore one could easy convert to Calvinism only to find out later they were never chosen. Even worst, one could live their whole life as a Calvinist and upon death fine out then God never called them. So you see, the hold religious structure is bipolar, so William you’re finally at home. So “RIP” William “Bipolar” Price.

Now, anyone that claiming we believe salvation by our own works is nothing short of a large dry bowl of fruit-loops. Anyone claiming we believe we can help God save us is a few fries short of a happy meal. Anyone claiming faith doesn’t produce works, catches a ride on a little yellow bus to his Janitorial employment. Anyone claiming we don’t have to keep God’s commandments to be saved is swimming in the shallow in of a drained pool.

We believe we are saved by the blood of the LORD Jesus, plain and simple. We don’t work to be saved, but, because we are saved we work. Therefore because I’m saved by the blood of Jesus, I don’t lie, because I’m saved by the blood of Jesus I don’t steal. Because I’m saved by the blood of Jesus I don’t continue walking in the sinful lustful passion that I’ve been set free from by the blood atonement of Christ Jesus. We believe it’s God that makes us Holy by the blood of Jesus and God keeps us holy by his word.

William (The Flip Flop) Price: The True Story

William (The Flip Flop) Price: a 33 year old American Janitor and a resident of State of Texas, just recently converted to Reformed Theology and now, (supposedly) attends the Mills Road Baptist Church in Houston, Texas. Bill (the flip flop) Price received his name honorable through the consistent flip flopping positions he has held as a Christian. Price a self-made minister begins a 17 year walk with God in the Pentecostal movement, and during this time he has flipped flopped on every doctrinal stand you could imagine.  Price’s list of behaviors and beliefs included: Oneness, Trinitarian, Pre Tribulation, Post-Tribulation, Preterist , Baptism in water in the name of Jesus, non-baptism in water, infilling of the Holy Ghost, non-filling of the Holy Ghost, speaking in tongues, non-speaking in tongues, believing in prophecy, no more prophecy, tithing too no more tithing, modesty to immodesty.

“I have this uncanny knack that someone can bring me into a belief, and in a few days, I can stand and support that belief with a comb of fine bristles. Oh yes, I can put on a good dog and pony show when I desire to fit in”. – William (The Flip Flop) Price

William (The Flip Flop) Price admits most of his religious life he was never been anchored, never been saved and that he only recently (Jan 2009) found God. He also admitted he was nothing more then a hypocrite and had reached the end of the games. However, in the month of August 9, 2009, after he confess to be saved and submitted under the Reformed theology church Price was at it again, “

“I am so sick and tired of running away from things. Two and a half years ago, I buried my Dad. This man I loved, though he was physically abusive to me, and abusive in many ways as well to my Mom. I had tried to fit in, and make myself an identity among people. I searched and searched for some meaning to the miserable existence I called a life, and as usual, i tried to find it in religion. I tried to fit in being Apostolic, and I could not. I went Apostolic Messianic, and I could not. I trie d preterism in all forms, liberal Christianity, and recently reformed theology. You want to know what I have come up with… The drama has ended, and I am so sick and tired of playing games”. - William (The Flip Flop) Price

Price went on to announce his return to the same Apostolic cult he once renounced with a new article titled “Why Jesus Name Baptism” in which he wrote:

“When God began bringing me back to the prophetic ministry, he did so in a method I had not expected. He allowed me to see the antinomianism among some of the Reformed churches. As I saw the lack of love for His commandments, I realized the terrible mistake I had made. Were all reformed believers in that boat? No, but when the leadership is, that makes a world of hurt. Anyway, because I loved His Word, I could not stand. All during this time, the Spirit was seeking for me to speak in tongues one more time. When I broke that Thursday, in my car at work, the Lord began restoring some things I had walked away from”.

“I said that to say this. The reason I returned to Apostolic faith was because of scripture. Deuteronomy 6:4 is still as much in effect today as it was 4000 years ago when it was originally penned. God is one, and so is His name. In the New testament, God has revealed His name of Jesus. When Jesus said what he did in Matthew 29:19, He told the disciples to go in the name, singular. There has always been one name of God, though we have many titles and other names His characteristics are known by. But, the proof is God is one, and His name has been revealed to us in the name of Jesus”. - William (The Flip Flop) Price

A few months later William (The Flip Flop) Price left the apostolic faith to return to the antinomianism among the Reformed churches, he returned to the lack of love for the commandments found in the leadership of the reformed cult.  Price said he left the Reformed churches to return to the Apostolic faith after the LORD spoke to him;

“Because I loved His Word, I could not stand. All during this time, the Spirit was seeking for me to speak in tongues one more time. When I broke that Thursday, in my car at work, the Lord began restoring some things I had walked away from”. - William (The Flip Flop) Price

If the LORD Jesus spoke to Price to return to the apostolic faith, who spoke to him to return to the Reformed churches months later? The truth is there are many voices speaking to this young man and it won’t belong before they begin speaking to him again leading him to leave the Reformed churches to even further reprobation. As a leader it is my duty to warning the church to reframe from men like Price. Just for clarity, on a conference call I spoke personally with Price in aid to reach out to help him. He replied;

“There is nothing you can do Elder Clark this is my fight” he when on to explain “I know I’ve been up and down on many issues but I’ve repented and the LORD has forgiven me and I promise I’m stable now” This conference call was over two years ago, which bring us here.

“I am not a man who has went to seminary, nor am I such a man that I would dare compare myself with great men. I simply know what I know, and I know what the Bible says, and this ministry will preach the Gospel of Christ, and proclaim New Covenant truths without compromise. As with the new look, the entire vision and focus of this ministry has changed, from law to grace, from death to life, and from that which was fulfilled and abolished to that which is life and eternal” - William (The Flip Flop) Price

I’ve known William (The Flip Flop) Price for at-least 7 years and  he has never been without compromise, his nick name means compromise and with 17 years of drifting beneath his belt I doubt his methods have changed. This isn’t the first time Price converted to some belief and it surely won’t be his last. Beware of this man, water and sand is more secure to build a house on then William (The Flip Flop) Price standing on any doctrine.

Proof Haiti sold their souls to the Devil!

Q: Dear Elder Clark, What do you think about Pat Roberson statement regarding Haiti selling their souls to the Devil?

A: The LORD said, “Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sins, it shall die”. (-Eze 18:4)  How can anyone sell anything that doesn’t belong to them, and how can anyone buy an object that not up for sell. “Behold, all souls are mine”, says the LORD. Satan doesn’t own souls nor does he have the power to buy them. He may indeed deceive people to believe that he does however; biblically God is the sole owner of all souls.

For example, Satan took Jesus up into an exceeding high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them and said unto him, all these things will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me.

In this picture Satan is boasting to have the power to give people authority, but all the scriptures must be taking in to consideration to determine if this is true. First, “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God”. (Rom 13:1)

Second, “The earth is the LORD’S, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein, for he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods”.

This goes too shows that Satan really don’t own anything and even the power he has is not his. Although through his deception he may have power over the minds of the world but the reality is even that is limited.

“All these things will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me”. –Satan. How can Satan promise Jesus the world when Jesus is the creator of the world?  He can’t! What Satan really wants is worship and he will go the length to get it, even if it means he has lie to his victims.

I have no idea on the facts about Haiti deal with the devil. On the other hand, there isn’t a nation on earth that hasn’t traded the precious word of God for the idea of having all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them. Therefore if Haiti sold their soul to the Satan, then every other nation in the world is next on God’s hit list.  Whacha gone do when he come for you?

Marriage is Forever, Divorce is for Breaching

All those apposing divorce must hold the doctrine “Once saved, always saved”. Once save, always saved holds a belief called Eternal Security, which mean there is no chance on anyone ever losing out on salvation no matter what they do or don’t do once they have confess the Lord Jesus as their personal savior.

Eternal Security is also called Eternal Covenant. In any case, the purpose behind the name is to promote the idea that salvation is secured and can never be broken under any condition. This would mean God can “never” separate from us and we can “never” depart from God.

This would be equivalent to a marriage relationship that can “never” be broken for any reason. Thus, if I held the belief “Once saved always saved” I must believe the marriage relationship that can “never” be broken for any reason. In short, marriage is a verbal contract vowed between a man and a woman. The two promise to be “faithful” in good times and bad times, in sickness and in health, in times of prosperity and poverty. Thus, “faithfulness” is the founding pillar behind the marriage contract. In support of this argument, the same principle of faithfulness is the binding factor behind every verbal or written contract. When a car, truck, house, condo, or townhouse is purchased or leased the property is obtain on the bases of “Faithfulness”. Faithfulness is defined in every contract, whether it’s to make payments on time, keeping the property clean, or keeping full coverage insurance on the car you purchase each contract defines its terms of conditions.

No contract is written without “Terms of Conditions”, even if the conditions are as simple as a promise to do something, which is only effective, if the offer is acceptance. The marriage ceremony itself consists of a promise to do something or “The Offer”, which is completed in the exchange of the vows. In order for the offer or exchange of the vows to be valid there has to be an approval of the promises, this is called “The Acceptance” which is fulfilled in the bride and groom when they say “I do”.  It is here that the “Consideration” is satisfied and the exchange of something of value from each side is given.

Thus the marriage contract is offered and accepted primarily on faithfulness. So what happens actually when a house is purchased based on “The Offer” and “The Acceptance”, but the “Mortgage” is breached because of non-payment on the “Note”? The house will undoubtedly fall into foreclosure and the buyer risk losing the house forever if some sort of an agreement isn’t met. Unfortunately there is no such thing as an Eternal Covenant when real property is purchased from a mortgage company. The doctrine of Eternal Security wants us to believe that once we purchase something under contract, it belongs to us forever and it can never be “TAKEN AWAY” even if the contract is breached. This would mean the mortgage companies can “never” foreclosure for none payments and the financial companies could never repo cars for breach of contract. Wow what a disaster.

Marriage is a verbal contract vowed between a man and a woman in which, the couple promise to be “faithful”, this is the marriage “Terms of Conditions”. The couple vowed to be faithful, but if the contract of faithfulness is breached by either the husband or the wife that marriage can fall into foreclosure. This doesn’t mean the marriage is resolved, but the marriage is in serious danger of default. No different then any other carnal contract, once an agreement has been made both sides or bound to uphold their end of the contract, otherwise the innocent side is free to act. NO one in their right mind would enter a contract knowing that if either side defaults; the innocent side must remain in the contract no matter what. No landlord would rent their investment property to a tenant knowing if the tenant fails to pay they would have to honor the contract and allow them continual access to the property. So why should marriage be any different?

The once saved always save crew wants us to believe there is no chance on anyone ever losing out on salvation no matter what they do or don’t do once they have confess the Lord Jesus as their personal savior.  On the other hand, they often admit there is a frequent habit of backsliding in the church. However, to be consistent in their doctrine they declare when people leave God it confirms they were never saved too begin with. Now, how does this align with the subject at hand, and can this same standard be adopted in every covenant? For instance, if a couple marries and the husband leaves the wife for another woman, does this confirm they were never married to begin with? A car is repo or a house is foreclosed does this confirms that the buyer were never owner of the house or car to begin with? Absolutely not! We all know better then that. Marriage is for Forever, and Divorce is put in place because of Breach of contract.

In ending, marriage is a contract between a man and a woman. The contract is vowed as a life long promise based of faithfulness, and put in jeopardy if unfaithfulness is committed. There is no such thing as an Eternal Security under unfaithfulness. Our salvation has “Terms of Conditions” and these conditions must be met and kept the life of the contract just as the marriage contract.



Jesus was a BLACK man.

Q: Dear Sir, did Jesus the son of god have dark skin?

A: I could easily answer this question with a simple YES; however, I’m fully aware of certain religious groups preaching salvation base on race. Therefore I have to be extremely careful too agree that Jesus was of a dark descent, and disagree too salvation based on the color of the flesh.

Now, “Concerning (GOD) his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.” (Rom 1:3-4)

The promise seed of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judea, and David as it was given by the inspiration of the Holy Ghost through prophecy was fulfilled in the Lord Jesus. This is essential because without these prophecies finding their fulfillment in Jesus he could not be the Messiah. But there’s more. He was the seed of David according to his (flesh, race) birth, however, he is declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.  Observe, he was NOT declared to be the SON of God because he was “BLACK” it was the spirit of righteous which we examine by the resurrection of Christ from the dead. So it is evident that Jesus wasn’t resurrected based on color.

Jesus answered his Jewish brother Nicodemus saying, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, ye must be born again. (John 3:5-7)

The recording of John’s account of the conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus informs us that RACE isn’t the superior factors. In accordance to Jesus “JEWS” although they are black in race they must be reborn of the spirit. This would indicate that the natural physical birth into a Jewish decent is not enough to lay claim to God, because that which is born of the flesh is (nothing more then) flesh and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, they must be born again.

It is the spirit that quickened; the flesh profited nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life, are ye so foolish, having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. For he is not a (Hebrew) Jew, which is one (in skin color) outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a (Hebrew) Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

As a testimony to this, there was a man named Cornelius who lived in Caesarea, captain of the Italian Guard stationed there and he was a thoroughly good man. He had led everyone in his house to live worshipfully before God, was always helping people in need, and had the habit of prayer. One day about three o’clock in the afternoon he had a vision. An angel of God, as real as his next-door neighbor, came in and said, “Cornelius.”  Cornelius stared hard, wondering if he was seeing things. Then he said, “What do you want, sir?” The angel said, “Your prayers and neighborly acts have brought you to God’s attention. Here’s what you are to do. Send men to Joppa to get Simon, the one everyone calls Peter. He is staying with Simon the Tanner, whose house is down by the sea.” As soon as the angel was gone, Cornelius called two servants and one particularly devout soldier from the guard. He went over with them in great detail everything that had just happened, and then sent them off to Joppa. The next day as the three travelers were approaching the town, Peter went out on the balcony to pray, it was about noon.

Peter got hungry and started thinking about lunch. While lunch was being prepared, he fell into a trance. He saw the skies open up and something that looked like a huge blanket lowered by ropes at its four corners settled on the ground. Every kind of animal and reptile and bird you could think of was on it. Then a voice came: “Go to it, Peter–kill and eat.” Peter said, “Oh, no, Lord. I’ve never so much as tasted food that was not kosher.”   The voice came a second time: “If God says it’s okay, it’s okay.”  This happened three times, and then the blanket was pulled back up into the skies. As Peter, puzzled, sat there trying to figure out what it all meant, the men sent by Cornelius showed up at Simon’s front door. They called in, asking if there was a Simon, also called Peter, staying there. Peter, lost in thought, didn’t hear them, so the Spirit whispered to him, “Three men are knocking at the door looking for you. Get down there and go with them. Don’t ask any questions. I sent them to get you.”  Peter went down and said to the men, “I think I’m the man you’re looking for. What’s up?”

They said, “Captain Cornelius, a God-fearing man well-known for his fair play–ask any Jew in this part of the country–was commanded by a holy angel to get you and bring you to his house so he could hear what you had to say.”  Peter invited them in and made them feel at home. The next morning he got up and went with them. Some of his friends from Joppa went along.  A day later they entered Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them and had his relatives and close friends waiting with him. The minute Peter came through the door, Cornelius was up on his feet greeting him–and then down on his face worshiping him! Peter pulled him up and said, “None of that–I’m a man and only a man, no different from you.” Talking things over, they went on into the house, where Cornelius introduced Peter to everyone who had come. Peter addressed them, “You know, I’m sure that this is highly irregular. Jews just don’t do this–visit and relax with people of another race. But God has just shown me that no race is better than any other.

Interjection: Actually how did God show Peter. The answer is found in the vision, remember,

While lunch was being prepared, he fell into a trance. He saw the skies open up and something that looked like a huge blanket lowered by ropes at its four corners settled on the ground. Every kind of animal and reptile and bird you could think of was on it. Then a voice came: “Go to it, Peter–kill and eat.” Peter said, “Oh, no, Lord. I’ve never so much as tasted food that was not kosher.” The voice came a second time: “If God says it’s okay, it’s okay.”

The huge blanket lowered by ropes at its four corners settled on the ground, is the Gospel of Jesus which is commission to reach the four corners of the earth and captured every kind of animal and reptile and bird. The  animal and reptile and bird represent the gentiles in every nation. Thus, the voice came a second time: “If God says it’s okay, it’s okay.” confirming that Gentiles would be made acceptable by the gospel of the Lord Jesus. And this is what Peter meant when he expressed, But God has just shown me that no race is better than any other.

So the minute I was sent for, I came, no questions asked. But now I’d like to know why you sent for me.” Cornelius said, “Four days ago at about this time, midafternoon, I was home praying. Suddenly there was a man right in front of me, flooding the room with light. He said, ‘Cornelius, your daily prayers and neighborly acts have brought you to God’s attention. I want you to send to Joppa to get Simon, the one they call Peter. He’s staying with Simon the Tanner down by the sea.’  “So I did it–I sent for you. And you’ve been good enough to come. And now we’re all here in God’s presence, ready to listen to whatever the Master put in your heart to tell us.”  Peter fairly exploded with his good news: “It’s God’s own truth, nothing could be plainer: God plays no favorites! It makes no difference who you are or where you’re from–if you want God and are ready to do as he says, the door is open. The Message he sent to the children of Israel–that through Jesus Christ everything is being put together again–well, he’s doing it everywhere, among everyone.

Although Cornelius was not of a Jewish descent it is apparent that he became a Hebrew by the spirit by conversion. So no one is a (Hebrew) Jew, which is one (in skin color) outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a (Hebrew) Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

There is no respect of persons with God. But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man’s person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:

While I agree that Jesus was of a black descent of David, it wasn’t the color of his skin that brought salvation, and anyone that claims relationship with God based on racial creed is awfully misguided.

(John 6:63 Gal 3:3 Gal 6:8 Rom 2:28-29 Act 10:1-36 Rom 2:11 Gal 2:6)

Christmas “DON”T FORGET”

Since it’s that time of year when people will celebrate the birth of Jesus in the tradition of Christmas, I thought it would be a great idea to review the events leading up to the birth of Jesus from the bible perspective.

(Luke 2:1-20) And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; because (he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

NOTICE: Shepherds are abiding in the field keeping watch over the flock by night. This can only mean that Jesus was not born in the month December because the weather conditions in Bethlehem would not permit Shepherds to abide in fields. This year alone Bethlehem’s weather will gather 5 degrees climate conditions making it fairly impossible for sheep (not to speak of a child being born outdoors) and shepherds to be in the fields.

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.  And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

NOTICE: The Shepherds arrive ALONE at the manger finding Mary, Joseph and the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes. Quite different from the picture we see every Christmas of Mary, Joseph and the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes in the presents of “THREE wise Men” and the shepherds at the manger. This is a corruption of the truth.

(Mat 2:1-14) Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

NOTICE: The bible never numbers the wise men, it simply says, “There came wise men from the east to Jerusalem. So why do so many people misrepresent the bible by teach there were three wise men? Because, most people never read their bibles, and some don’t give a hoot-nanny, they just want Christmas. But as we have witness thus far Christmas is base on lies.

When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.  And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.  And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judea: for thus it is written by the prophet, And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, art not the least among the princes of Judah: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.  And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshiped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

NOTICE: The wise men came to a house (not a manger) and the baby is now a young child. The wise men did not see the baby as did the shepherds. The wise men witness either months old or 1-2 years old child.  We know this by the record of the bible which states “Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.”

In the bible version of the birth of the Messiah

• There is NO December birth of the Messiah
  
• The Shepherds were alone at the manger
• NO Three wise men at the manger
• The number of wise men aren’t recorded
• The wise men came to a house, not a manger
• The child was months old not a new born
• There is NO Christmas trees
• There is NO Santa Claus
• There is NO reindeers
• There is NO Elves
• There is NO toys
• Mary and , Joseph didn’t get gifts
• There is no drinking and parting
• Christmas is not in the bible

Therefore this Christmas “DON”T FORGET” it has nothing to do with the birth of Jesus.

Atheist Billboards

Atheist Billboards are surfacing similar to roaches in a dark dirty kitchen on our city streets. I suppose by the message on the billboards they hope is to remind people it doesn’t take believing in God to be a good human being.

Now, why would a group of atheists care or suggest being good, even more, how do they define “Good”? The bible teaches there’s none “GOOD” not ONE, and Jesus said, really the only one “GOOD is God himself. But how does an atheist define what good is and why? They could vent its common sense. However, one atheist common good will always differs from another, and what may seem good to one atheist isn’t exactly a standard for all. So what is good? Good would have to be define as whatever seems right in their own eyes, which in the end will destroy themselves.

On the other hand, I agree, you don’t have to believe in God to be a good person. I personally know many good men and women with great morals that aren’t Christians or atheist. However, being a good quality people alone unfortunately just don’t cut it when were dealing with heaven.

I don’t have to be a Christian to be morally good, beside, how do anyone really know if your really mean good if you’re doing just because the bible says it” – some atheist

Fortunately, the same atheistic logic can be used to express how no one knows if atheists are good “TAX” payers if they’re merely paying taxes based on the laws enforced on us. How do we know atheists are good law abiding citizens if they’re only being good citizens based on the laws put in place. Furthermore, while the Atheist Billboards convey “Don’t believe in God” there’s absolutely no difference if the Billboards read “Don’t believe in the Laws of the land”, since the laws enforced on use as citizen mimic those of the bible. I can only think underneath their attack against religions the atheistic movement true proposes is to undermine the government.

The Atheistic movement is one that thrives itself on the message of peace and title themselves as anti-war. Yet they declare war on religions, in my faith this is hypocrites at its best. Perhaps, I should investigate investing in Billboards that would convey “Image “NO” Atheist” and “YOU better believe you Atheist”!  For the sake of the Atheistic movement, I hope their right about God, because if they’re “NOT” burn baby burn.

God doesn’t care about Religion

Q: Dear Sir, why are you so religious? God isn’t religious. Religious people killed the son of God and you my friend, are an object of division. Stop being so self-righteous and follow Jesus without adding your super Religious ways.

A: I quote James the apostle saying, “What God the Father considers to be pure and genuine religion is this: to take care of orphans and widows in their suffering and to keep oneself from being corrupted by the world” –James 1:27

The word religion is mention three times in the bible in the Greek language “thrēskeia” which means in our tongue worshipping, service and in some cases it simple means to be discipline. Paul wrote, to the Colossians church “Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping “thrēskeia” of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind…

In this we can all understand that there is a good religion and there are bad religions. However we are endowed to find out through the scriptures whether God is happy with either one, and according to the apostle, God the Father considers pure and genuine religion as taking care of orphans and widows in their suffering and keeping one-self from being corrupted by the world. With that said, for anyone to claim God doesn’t care about Religion or Religious people prove not everyone reads their bibles.

There is a “PURE” and “GENUINE” religion in the sight of God, and that religion is founded on having “LOVE” for our fellow neighbors and keeping ourselves holy in this present world. I am often accused of being super religious, or over religious because I refuse to be corrupted by the world through it detractions of entertainment, lust and pride. But as long as I continue to take care of orphans and widows (loving my neighbors) in their suffering and keep myself from being corrupted by the world my religion is pure and holy before God.

On another note I would agree that the religious people of Jesus day did kill him. However, obviously their religion wasn’t pure, holy or accepted of God just from your statement “They killed the son of God”. Pure and holy religion teaches one to love their neighbors.

I’m a white “MAN” I can’t marry a black woman!!

Q: Shalom, my question is regarding marriage. Do you believe God accepts interracial marriages?

A: YES!  However, it’s difficult for many people to understand how this fixes into the plan of God when there are scriptures commanding Israel to marry only other Israelites.

One day Shechem’s father Hamor went out to talk with Jacob, just as Jacob’s sons were coming in from the fields. When they heard about it, they were shocked and furious that Shechem had done such a thing and had insulted the people of Israel by raping Jacob’s daughter. Hamor said to him, “My son Shechem has fallen in love with your daughter; please let him marry her. Let us make an agreement that there will be intermarriage between our people and yours. Then you may stay here in our country with us; you may live anywhere you wish and trade freely, and own property.” Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father and brothers, “Do me this favor, and I will give you whatever you want. Tell me what presents you want, and set the payment for the bride as high as you wish; I will give you whatever you ask, if you will only let me marry her.”  Because Shechem had disgraced their sister Dinah, Jacob’s sons answered Shechem and his father Hamor in a deceitful way. They said to him, “We cannot let our sister marry a man who is not circumcised; that would be a disgrace for us. (Gen 34:6-14)

We can agree only on the condition that you become like us by circumcising all your males. Then we will agree to intermarriage. We will settle among you and become one people with you. But if you will not accept our terms and be circumcised, we will take her and leave.”   These terms seemed fair to Hamor and his son Shechem, and the young man lost no time in doing what was suggested, because he was in love with Jacob’s daughter. He was the most important member of his family. Hamor and his son Shechem went to the meeting place at the city gate and spoke to the people of the town: “These men are friendly; let them live in the land with us and travel freely. The land is large enough for them also. Let us marry their daughters and give them ours in marriage. But these men will agree to live among us and be one people with us only on the condition that we circumcise all our males, as they are circumcised. Won’t all their livestock and everything else they own be ours? So let us agree that they can live among us.” All the citizens of the city agreed with what Hamor and Shechem proposed, and all the males were circumcised. (Gen 34:15-24)

“Jacob’s sons answered Shechem and his father Hamor in a deceitful way. They said to him, “We cannot let our sister marry a man who is not circumcised; that would be a disgrace for us”.

Although the sons of Jacob were misleading, there’s great merit to their answering statement “We cannot let our sister marry a man who is not circumcised; that would be a disgrace for us”. Notice how Jacob’s sons didn’t say “We can’t allow our sister to marry a black man or white man”; they never dealt with the color of a person skin. They determine that whomever their sister married the man had to be circumcised. Why circumcision? Simple, circumcision (not the race) was given to the Abraham as a token of the faith and relationship he had with the one true God.

This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; every man child among you shall be circumcised. And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed. He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant. (Gen 17:10-14)

Circumcision was given to Abraham by God to identify the faith and obedience he held to the one true God. In short, circumcision identified who actually were the people of God. Abraham’s children weren’t automaticity considered to be the people of God based on skin tone. Instead, Abraham’s children were considered to be the people of God entirely on faith and obedience to the one true God, remember, “The uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant. ALL males had to be circumcised, children, kinsmen, slaves, slave children, and strangers as a token of the covenant between them and God”

It is important to understand “No circumcision (that is to say, no faith and obedience) no covenant and anyone outside the covenant can not marry within the family of God. However, once a male or female agreed to serve the one true God there is nothing immoral with them marrying within the family of faith regardless of race. This is certainly the case with Moses and the Ethiopian women, and Boas and Ruth. These women converted to the faith and belief in the one true God and were allowed to marry although they weren’t naturally born Jews. We must also consider the testimony Rahab the harlot and how she became apart of the people of God because of her faith and obedience to the one true God.

Thus God never intended for marriage to base on the color of skin, for it is apparent that some could select a mate exclusively on race but suffer many things because their partner was not in a covenant with God. Therefore to answer to the question would be, it would be a disgrace and a violation of the Devine plan of God for a believer to marry an unbeliever. In plain terminology, Christians aren’t allowed to marry “none” Christians. When it comes to marriage, race may be a personal factor for some, but that’s all it adds up to be “Personal”.

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?  (2Co 6:14)
