TV isn't innocent any longer

For those who find and entertain ghost programming and read your horoscopes daily and consult with mediums please be aware of the consequences. I know now because I too thought this harmless until now.
It will be through these mediums that taking the Mark of the Beast shall be seen as acceptable and following a new Sunday Law shall appear as harmless.

Deuteronomy of Abominations to GOD

Deu 18:9
 
When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.

Deu 18:10

There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,

Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

Deu 18:12

For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

Why are Christian Churches Losing Members?

I have been compelled as of late to speak openly about the current falling away from the faith of Christ in so many Christian denominations around the country. Southern Baptists and United Methodists seem to be losing fewer members than other protestant churches at a 4% decline over the last 5 years but the Catholic Church and other Mega Churches are experiencing a drop off of attendance by up to 16% over that same time period. The increase in loss in these churches is something you will hear involves many variables but I suggest that when a preacher, pastor or priest give sermons that do not reflect what the reality of the day truly is parishioners see the disconnect and ask themselves why are they preaching all this feel good stuff when the world is clearly on the edge of another World War, this one being religious in nature and world wide in scope. The time is now to teach the unblemished truth about the world around us and the signs of the times as can clearly be discerned by any novice Biblical searcher. 

Tickling the ears of parishioners with feel good preaching is just leaving a hole where the heart knows only one message and one man can fill the void and so people leave the churches because they are not receiving the meat of the banquet table but rather sugary crumbs that have no individual value to a soul trying to grow in the knowledge and teachings of God. We have reached a point in the heavenly timeline, established by God long ago, where the signs in the heavens (starts), the moon and sun are to be closely watched and recognized for the harbingers they are for the second coming of Messiah. Jesus said that no man will know the day of His return but he alerted us to the fact that we can know the Season if we but search the Word for hear the voice of truth. I believe that the time is very close to the final chapter and we need to increase our efforts to help people see that it is paramount for each individual to reassess their real relationship with Jesus Christ the Savior for it is only by the sacrificed innocent blood of Christ on the cross and the Grace of God that can save us. 

In the next few months and possibly years to come everyone will make that final decision. It is up to each individual as to whether or not their decision is well informed, through diligent searching of the scripture (as we are instructed to do) and praying or is it to be a decision that is based on the traditions of man, the knowledge of man and the teachings of man claiming to speak for God. I know that God speaks for Himself through the Bible and He leaves little room for conjecture, He speaks quite plainly and in terms that one cannot misconstrue; As you can see below there seems to be no other interpretation available if one reads the words of Christ

None of this is really very hard to understand if you read the Bible for yourself and don't rely on other telling you what you just read. It always reminds me of how the talking heads on CNN will tell you what the President just said in a speech to the nation, really, I just heard it for myself and now people on TV are telling me what I just heard because I am too stupid to understand plain English or because the spin needs to be added to keep you thinking correctly and maintain that directional process by which you are guided both consciously and unconsciously toward an outcome acceptable to the ruling parties. Churches seem to do the same thing when they tell you this is required or that is required when in fact all you have to do is remember what occured between Jesus and the thief while hanging the cross.

Luke 23:43 “Today you will be with me in paradise”

Why would the thief be with Jesus this day in paradise
unless all the thief had to do was to believe that Jesus was who said He was, no other requirement. That doesn't mean that good works will not follow your conversion, that is simply the natural outcome of taking Jesus's heart as your own but that is not one of the many requirements I have seen and heard of over the years from various Christian churches and I have been to many. Only your belief will save you.

Roman 10:9

If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Once someone understands that the Old Testament is the story of the New Testament somewhat hidden (for a good reason I might add) and the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed one cannot but understand that Jesus simply put an end to all blood sacrifices, the sacrifices that would cleanse the people of their sin for 1 year, but His one time sacrifice was for past, present and future sins of mankind. There is the entire story of the Bible, God knew man could never overcome his sinful carnal nature because mankind inherited this sinful nature by blood from Adam and Eve and so man would never be able to reattain the position in the Garden of Eden we were meant for. God chose to become a man of flesh and blood and actually allow himself to be sacrificed as that once and for all innocent blood sacrifice that covers a believer with the Holy blood of Jesus, a new covering that hides the sins of man and reveals only that new covering cloak that has been washed in the blood of Christ. God loves His creation and wants to see it restored and He was willing to suffer all the pain and anguish required to spill His blood upon the Earth covering everyone. Now they just need to understand and accept this wondrous and loving gift for there is no other means to stand before God without His own blood covering your sins and sinful nature. How big a gift is that????

All people are coming to a crossroads where they get to chose where they will spend eternity.

I love God and praise Him everyday for all He has bestowed upon me but at the top of any list of the great and magnificent things He has done for me as an individual is the greatest gift of all, He loved me and you so much that He could only bring us into His presence to be with Him face to face as Abraham did by becoming the only innocent blood sacrifice that would accomplish His ends. His blood wasn't tainted by the inherited sinful blood of man and that His blood sacrifice and suffering was done to save each and every man, woman and child on this Earth, even they don't know it. The Gospel has gone out to the world and when the world hears the Gospel and either accepts it and denies it will mark the completion and the end date, 
so said Jesus;  Matthew 24:14 "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come." 


Pretty dramatic statement. Do you think the world has had a chance to hear the Gospel with all the means modern technology has available to us?, I believe that day is right around the corner. 

"then shall the end come."  

America is safer than 6 years ago?

It is not a deadly and virulent virus problem America has with the advent of Ebola within the borders but rather a messaging problem the White House has expressing how well they are handling the situation so therefore the reasoning behind the hiring of a bureaucratic liberal lawyer lobbyist. Even the Ebola threat is not seen as a problem for the American people but rather a political problem for the President overcome politically through proper messaging to the public. Let me paraphrase, The President has said that "we must contain and eliminate the epidemic in East Africa but we must maintain a corridor of free travel for those within the so called containment area." So in essence he has said "We must contain the virus but we must set it free", What?  wait a minute, What? This is nonsensical rubbish. This rubbish is the platform of the current administration and the same rubbish that is being passed on to the public through media channels (propaganda wing) as real intelligence and real logic in action. If this is acceptable to the American people then we are doomed. I sometimes wonder if the President and his advisers are sitting around a table and wondering what more must they do to confirm to the American people that the President has no love or patriotism for the United States and just doesn't care what happens here, as long as it is bad then apparently the President is fine with that. Wake up America, this administration is here to fundamentally change America into something that is only recognizable in eastern Europe. The Bible says there will be evil in high places of government in the end times and I don't think He was talking about Malta. If you think you what evil is then you are in for rood awakening because it gets a lot worse from here on out.

America needs to return to God now if we expect any change in our country for the good of the nation. 

The Science of Quantum Physics Proves Intelligent Design at Nanoscale (meaning it is everywhere and in everything)

"How can nothing added to nothing explode into everything?" Really?

Mathematicians and scientists seemed to ignore a simple equation familiar to all grammar school children: 0 + 0 = 0

For the Big Bang Theory to work, this always-true equation had to be false—at least once—and if this basic equation is unreliable, so is the rest of the math used to prove the Big Bang.

Phi is a mathematical constant found in everything in the natural world and universe expressed as 1.618 also called the Golden Ratio. It's existence is fact and can be seen at the Quantum Physics Level which is a branch of physics which deals with physical phenomena of energy and mass at nanoscopic scales, such as magnetic waveforms. Scientists recently discovered that the Golden Ratio of 1.618 was consistently found at the quantum nanoscale the very essence of everything.

On the atomic scale particles do not behave as we know it in the macro-atomic world. New properties emerge which are the result of an effect known as the Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle. In order to study these nanoscale quantum effects the researchers have focused on the magnetic material cobalt niobate. It consists of linked magnetic atoms, which form chains just like a very thin bar magnet, but only one atom wide and are a useful model for describing ferromagnetism on the nanoscale in solid state matter.

When applying a magnetic field at right angles to an aligned spin the magnetic chain will transform into a new state called quantum critical, which can be thought of as a quantum version of a fractal pattern. Prof. Alan Tennant, the leader of the Berlin group, explains “The system reaches a quantum uncertain — or a Schrödinger cat state. This is what we did in our experiments with cobalt niobate. We have tuned the system exactly in order to turn it quantum critical.”

By tuning the system and artificially introducing more quantum uncertainty the researchers observed that the chain of atoms acts like a nanoscale guitar string. Dr. Radu Coldea from Oxford University, who is the principal author of the paper and drove the international project from its inception a decade ago until the present, explains: "Here the tension comes from the interaction between spins causing them to magnetically resonate. For these interactions we found a series (scale) of resonant notes: The first two notes show a perfect relationship with each other. Their frequencies (pitch) are in the ratio of 1.618…, which is the golden ratio famous from art and architecture." Radu Coldea is convinced that this is no coincidence. "It reflects a beautiful property of the quantum system -- a hidden symmetry. Actually quite a special one called E8 by mathematicians, and this is its first observation in a material," he explains.

Far above our heads, beyond planet Earth and our solar system, galaxies even follow the Golden Ratio. Hurricanes on earth also exhibit the Golden Ratio, which “…makes the Golden Ratio’s presence all the more remarkable,” because “Hurricanes are structures in the gravitational field of the Earth, while galaxies are self-gravitating objects in space,” writes Robert Roy Britt for Space.com.
This proportion of 1.618 can be seen in the architecture of the Parthenon of ancient Greece. Artists and architects have used the Golden Ratio for thousands of years to create visually pleasing works. Beyond this, Phi can also be found throughout nature, including the human body. For example, the human finger is divided into four sections (2,3,5,8), the ratio of which equals the Golden Ratio of 1.618. The human ear is also proportioned according to Phi.

Everything science has explored at these quantum levels of investigative endeavor have produced overwhelming evidence of intelligent design so if you still hold out and believe what you see on science tv etc. know that you are being lied to. I'd doubt seriously that these brilliant talking heads are even aware of this discovery for if they were they would, in a moment of pure intellectual honesty, have to finally see that zero plus zero does not then explode and produce everything in the universe, pure non-sensecal on their part yours if you believe in the conventional randomness and chaos of this current scientific theory called the Big Bang. God's fingerprints are everywhere you just have to look on your own and not be a lazy fool and look where your told to look.

The deception of scientific false truth is simple to achieve when you deal with simpleminded and ignorant people who only look through the lenses handed to them by others because of laziness but they flat out refuse, for no good reason, to use the lenses God gave to each of us.

The most brilliant mathematicians using the most powerful supercomputers in the world would fail to settle this question for one simple reason: You can’t use equations to prove the existence of love.
That’s what God is. That is His essence, and love can’t be dissected, calculated, analyzed or measured.

Who Does Obama Serve?

Even though Obama claims to be a Christian, throughout his political career Obama has repeatedly attacked traditional Biblical Christianity and he has a very long history of anti-Christian actions. In public speeches he has repeatedly cast doubt on the Bible, he has repeatedly stated that he does not believe that Jesus is necessary for salvation, and he has consistently said that he believes that all “people of faith” believe in the same God. At the same time, Obama has always referred to Muhammed as “the Prophet”, he has always expressed great love and respect for Islam, and he has even removed all references to Islam from terror training materials used by federal government agencies. So what in the world does “the leader of the free world” actually believe? Read the quotes below and decide for yourself…

20 Quotes By Barack Obama About Islam

#1 “The future must not belong to those who slander the Prophet of Islam”

#2 “The sweetest sound I know is the Muslim call to prayer”

#3 “We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over the centuries to shape the world — including in my own country.”

#4 “As a student of history, I also know civilization’s debt to Islam.”

#5 “Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance.”

#6 “Islam has always been part of America”

#7 “we will encourage more Americans to study in Muslim communities”

#8 “These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings.”

#9 “America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles of justice and progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.”

#10 “I made clear that America is not – and never will be – at war with Islam.”

#11 “Islam is not part of the problem in combating violent extremism – it is an important part of promoting peace.”

#12 “So I have known Islam on three continents before coming to the region where it was first revealed”

#13 “In ancient times and in our times, Muslim communities have been at the forefront of innovation and education.”

#14 “throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality.”

#15 “Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity and racial equality”

#16 “The Holy Koran tells us, ‘O mankind! We have created you male and a female; and we have made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another.’”

#17 “I look forward to hosting an Iftar dinner celebrating Ramadan here at the White House later this week, and wish you a blessed month.”

#18 “We’ve seen those results in generations of Muslim immigrants – farmers and factory workers, helping to lay the railroads and build our cities, the Muslim innovators who helped build some of our highest skyscrapers and who helped unlock the secrets of our universe.”

#19 “That experience guides my conviction that partnership between America and Islam must be based on what Islam is, not what it isn’t. And I consider it part of my responsibility as president of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear.”

#20 “I also know that Islam has always been a part of America’s story.”

20 Quotes By Barack Obama About Christianity

#1 “Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation”

#2 “We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation.”

#3 “Which passages of scripture should guide our public policy? Should we go with Leviticus, which suggests slavery is OK and that eating shellfish is an abomination? Or we could go with Deuteronomy, which suggests stoning your child if he strays from the faith?”

#4 “Even those who claim the Bible’s inerrancy make distinctions between Scriptural edicts, sensing that some passages – the Ten Commandments, say, or a belief in Christ’s divinity – are central to Christian faith, while others are more culturally specific and may be modified to accommodate modern life.”

#5 “The American people intuitively understand this, which is why the majority of Catholics practice birth control and some of those opposed to gay marriage nevertheless are opposed to a Constitutional amendment to ban it. Religious leadership need not accept such wisdom in counseling their flocks, but they should recognize this wisdom in their politics.”

#6 From Obama’s book, The Audacity of Hope: “I am not willing to have the state deny American citizens a civil union that confers equivalent rights on such basic matters as hospital visitation or health insurance coverage simply because the people they love are of the same sex—nor am I willing to accept a reading of the Bible that considers an obscure line in Romans to be more defining of Christianity than the Sermon on the Mount.”

#7 Obama’s response when asked what his definition of sin is: “Being out of alignment with my values.”

#8 “If all it took was someone proclaiming I believe Jesus Christ and that he died for my sins, and that was all there was to it, people wouldn’t have to keep coming to church, would they.”

#9 “This is something that I’m sure I’d have serious debates with my fellow Christians about. I think that the difficult thing about any religion, including Christianity, is that at some level there is a call to evangelize and proselytize. There’s the belief, certainly in some quarters, that people haven’t embraced Jesus Christ as their personal savior that they’re going to hell.”

#10 “I find it hard to believe that my God would consign four-fifths of the world to hell. I can’t imagine that my God would allow some little Hindu kid in India who never interacts with the Christian faith to somehow burn for all eternity. That’s just not part of my religious makeup.”

#11 “I don’t presume to have knowledge of what happens after I die. But I feel very strongly that whether the reward is in the here and now or in the hereafter, the aligning myself to my faith and my values is a good thing.”

#12 “I’ve said this before, and I know this raises questions in the minds of some evangelicals. I do not believe that my mother, who never formally embraced Christianity as far as I know … I do not believe she went to hell.”

#13 “Those opposed to abortion cannot simply invoke God’s will–they have to explain why abortion violates some principle that is accessible to people of all faiths.”

#14 On his support for civil unions for gay couples: “If people find that controversial then I would just refer them to the Sermon on the Mount.”

#15 “You got into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

#16 “In our household, the Bible, the Koran and the Bhagavad Gita sat on the shelf alongside books of Greek and Norse and African mythology”

#17 “On Easter or Christmas Day, my mother might drag me to church, just as she dragged me to the Buddhist temple, the Chinese New Year celebration, the Shinto shrine, and ancient Hawaiian burial sites.”
#18 “we have Jews, Muslims, Hindus, atheists, agnostics, Buddhists, and their own path to grace is one that we have to revere and respect as much as our own”

#19 “All of us have a responsibility to work for the day when the mothers of Israelis and Palestinians can see their children grow up without fear; when the Holy Land of the three great faiths is the place of peace that God intended it to be; when Jerusalem is a secure and lasting home for Jews and Christians and Muslims, and a place for all of the children of Abraham to mingle peacefully together as in the story of Isra — (applause) — as in the story of Isra, when Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed, peace be upon them, joined in prayer. (Applause.)”

#20 “I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people.”

I have always given someone the benefit of the doubt but after researching a question I heard asked recently, "Has Obama ever rejected Islam in any way?", I have come to the conclusion that Obama has lied about being a Christian just as he has lied about everything else, as a matter of fact I simply cannot recall Obama ever telling the truth on any subject, ever.

Guilty but Still Loved

I wanted to write a small piece about understanding God's love of each one of us as individuals and try to clarify for some out there what was once a major misunderstanding and of great concern I had at one time and it was a very major sticking point in my relationship with God and one that caused great turmoil and slowed my progress in my relationship with God down to a crawl, a wall that almost stopped my progress as a believer completely.  It is a simple and apparently common error on the part of those just coming into a relationship with the Lord.
 
I am talking about His love truly having no bounds, the boundary that we have made in our understanding is ultimately a major road block. God's love is truly exceptional from a human point of view and one that is very hard to conceive of at all.
 
Starting with the fact that if you or I were in a position to save the lives of our neighbors I believe most of us would do so if we saw that no imminent to ourselves or family would be implied by doing so but if there were the chance of danger coming to our family by doing so most probably we would not take the chance and if the chance were 100% that some grievous danger would befall our family then I say almost none would act to save our neighbor. There lies the difference in our understanding of love for one another and the love that God displays by willingly giving His Son to die brutally as He watched knowing He could immediately put an end to the terrible pain, suffering and humiliation Yeshua, in Greek called Jesus, endured but He did not save His only Son because He knew it was the only way to save us from ourselves, and keep the promise He made to us. How much love is that? Immeasurable by human understanding. If that were your son hanging on a cross and left to die in agony and you had the power to stop it all would you have been able to allow it? 
 
Now try to imagine that when we, sinners in every sense, want to have a relationship with God we
think we understand when Yeshua tells us we are forgiven our sins when we accept that He is the promised Christ and believe in Him. We understand that we will be changed from the inside when we accept that Yeshua died and covered us with His blood and will be seen from that time forward as clean of our sins from that point onward but some of us still don't understand that as we continue our slow transformation into the child that wants only to please our Father we sometimes continue to sin, say something like a smoking, drinking, sexual desires, lying etc. and we fall into the trap of saying "How can I be forgiven my sins if I still sin?". God's love and forgiveness is still extended to us and Christ's blood still covers us during this process as long as we know that we are a work in progress and continually pray for the strength to overcome our sinful nature. When we succumb to the notion that we cannot be forgiven because have sinned many times since our acceptance of Yeshua as our Savior and Redeemer we are falling into a trap laid by Satan, a trap of doubt. Simply accept what Yeshua has said and believe Him when He says that you are saved but join the battle with all your heart and all your ability to reclaim your soul by praying and trying every moment of everyday to overcome those sins of addiction and sins of evil thought. For some of us it is a long and hard struggle to fight for our souls and some others it is easier but like chipping the accumulated rust from the surface of a metal implement it takes time and effort but we know that underneath that corroded surface is the child of God we want to be and will be, sometimes it just takes more time than we first thought but holding fast will produce fruit with the help of the transformative power Yeshua promised us, namely the Holy Spirit, we will be changed. God still loves us even when we sin.
 
God's love for you is powerful and unfathomable in our human eyes and sometimes very hard to understand and grasp but Faith in what He says and believing he means it is all that is required to change from the inside out. He loves the sinner but hates the sin, remember this and fight the sin and never presume to put human limits on God's limitless love.

Your Heaven or Your Hell is Only a Heartbeat Away.

Have you ever wondered what Heaven and Hell truly are?

Why is there judgment?

What is evil and why can it never enter Heaven?

“It’s appointed man once to die and then judgment.” This must be because as long as there is evil there has to be judgment. Every sin, every wrong, every evil has to be brought to an end for without judgment of evil there can never be hope. Without judgment there would be no end to evil in the universe or in man’s heart. There would be no heaven….because heaven would then be filled with locks and prisons, hatred, violence, fear and destruction. Heaven would cease to be Heaven and would be hell instead. But there is a Heaven and there is a place of no more sorrow, no more hate, no more weeping and tears and no more pain. There must be a judgment for evil to end and for Heaven to be revealed to us. Do you see that if evil entered Heaven, Heaven would cease to be Heaven because evil would be within and the two cannot co-exist in the same place at the same time.

So who among us is evil?

Remember this from the Book of Proverbs, “All the ways of a man are right in his own eyes.”

The genocide’s of the past were right in the eyes of those who perpetrated these evils. They compared themselves and measured themselves by the standards they themselves created. Each, in his own eyes, was a good person, a moral person, a decent person, a religious person and no worse than the next person. By seeing themselves through only their own eyes they became blind. I just described the Nazis, Stalin’s Soviet Union, Mao’s China but you say that there is a big difference between these people and most other people. The principle remains the same. You can never judge yourself by your own standards and your own righteousness for you will be deceived ever time.  Only the light of His righteousness is the standard by which we can see and understand our moral distance from Heaven.

Which do you think is greater, the moral distance that separates us from the most monstrous of Nazis or that which separates us from God? It is our separation from God because the first separation is finite but the second separation is infinite. What we see as the slightest of sins within ourselves appears, in the eyes of Him who is absolute goodness, as abhorrently evil just as the crimes of the Nazis appear to us. In the light of the absolute Good, our lust becomes as adultery and our hatred becomes as murders.

Who ten could stand? Who could make it into heaven? 

No one could stand and no one could make it into heaven. How far would just one sin take you away from the infinite righteousness of God? The answer is an infinite distance. 

How far are we from heaven? The answer is an infinite distance. 

How great is the judgment? The answer is infinitely great. 

How long would it take us to bridge the gap, to be reconciled to God, to enter heaven? The answer is an infinity of time, eternity. 

We would never get there. To be infinitely separated from God and Heaven is what? It is Hell, the infinite separation from God and from all things good: total, infinite, eternal judgment.

You may ask “Don't we just die?” No. 

Our soul is eternal, one way or another at the end the thousands of ages, you will still exist. 

The question becomes, where you will exist?

If the true joy of glory is being in God’s presence and in His Heaven and it is beyond our imagining, so too is the darkness and horror of being in His absence. Forever in hell. So our individual situation is graver than that of a nation in its hour of judgment. The prospect of spending eternity on the wrong side of infinite judgment is infinitely graver than any of any nation. Nations are temporary but the soul is eternal.

If you have an infinite gap and an infinite problem, what do you need? An infinite answer. Which means that the answer could not come from yourself or from the world. It could only come from the infinite, from heaven…from God, which means that any given answer, any given ideology and any given system based on the efforts of man is ruled out. This rules out every answer, every answer based on man trying to reach God, a hand reaching upward to Heaven. The answer can only come from the way, from the infinite to the finite, from heaven to earth…from God to man. A hand reaching down from Heaven.

What can answer an infinite judgment? 

An infinite mercy. The mercy of an infinite love. 

What alone can fill an infinite absence? An infinite presence.  

The infinite love of an infinite presence.

What is the answer to judgment? 

What alone can answer an infinite judgment and bridge and infinite chasm? Religion? No, religion reflects man’s search for God, no searching is required. 

Infinite love. What is infinite love? To give of oneself in sacrifice to save another. 

If God is love then what would be His ultimate manifestation of that love? 

Putting Himself in our place to receive the judgment. The infinite sacrifice. God giving Himself to bear the judgment of those under judgment if, by so doing, it would save them. Love puts itself in the place of the another. To bear the infinite judgment where all sins are nullified and all who accept are set free…saved.  You can only enter Heaven by walking through the waterfall of the living waters which is the gift of Yeshua, his real Hebrew name. Only by walking into and through the waters of His sacrifice can that infinite gap be bridged. Only by accepting the cleansing waters of life which is His infinite sacrifice of blood and death and His power to overcome can one be assured of an eternity in the presence of God. By not accepting this free gift one assures oneself of infinite and eternal separation of a Heaven your soul will always remind you is unattainable. You are one heartbeat away from finding the answer to your questions of God and you are one heartbeat away from eternity with God or an eternity in a prison of darkness and total separation.

It has always been a matter of free choice and believing what your heart and soul know but your mind doesn’t want to grasp. If you choose wrong it is forever and you will only have yourself to blame because your stubborn arrogance has never allowed you to search beyond what you can see, feel, hear and touch…there is so much more than you can ever know if only you open yourself to the possibilities of an eternity of life, either in light or darkness, it your choice. 

I must thank Rabbi Cahn for simplifying so much of this message.
