Dead in sin...Dead to Christ

Our life comes from Yeshua the Messiah. When the devil came to temp Yeshua, He said, "man does not live by bread alone, but by every Word that comes from the Father."

Yeshua is the Word. John testified Yeshua was the Life and the Light of men. The light is revealed to everyone that comes into the world. There is no excuse...Paul claims creation testifies of God, John claims Yeshua reveals the His light to every man, Paul again says God has given every man a measure of faith, that is the faith to trust in Him

We are dead, without life, until we are born again. We may walk around, talk, eat, drink, but we are dead in our sins and if we die in that state, we will still be dead, lost without Messiah for eternity.

Once we become born again, we again die to our carnal nature. We are to crucify (put to death) the deeds of the flesh, that our spirit may live eternally with Messiah.

Yeshua had to die to give us life, but that life only comes from us dying. If we want to live in this world the end result is eternal death. If we want to have eternal life, we must die to the world. One might say "What about having life and that life more abundant?" That life more abundant is the life of Messiah living in us. That will not happen without us putting our own nature to death.

I am reminded of a church that chose to give up dying to self to win the lost for endulging in the flesh to win the lost. They started to allow the world to creep in with drinking and smoking. When we find just as much or more pleasure in the things of the world than we do in the things of God, we are in danger of becoming like Demas. Paul said he left because the things of the world got ahold of him.

Unless a grain of wheat die, it cannot produce fruit, the tree that did not produce fruit Yeshua killed, the steward that did not produce fruit the master threw into outer darkness, the branches that do not produce fruit are thrown into the fire.

Yeshua is the bread of life, eat of Him and you will have eternal life

Should a Christian vote for a mormon?

Christians need to stay out of politics. The church binds themselves to obeying a tax exemption (501c3) to disobey God's commands.
To start with we need to look at the first person God put into office
Saul was a "choice young man" and "goodlier" and "shoulders" above all others in Israel.
In terms today he was tall, dark and handsome (1 Sam 9:2).
We must read chapter 8 to see this was not what God wanted as He said "they have forsaken Me." God told Israel exactly what they were going to get:

1. He will take your son's and appoint them to himself (the draft can be reinacted);
2. He will take your daughters to be his servants (women will probably be included in the draft because of equal rights);
3. He will make your servants (employees) work for him (How much taxes do business owners pay out per employee?)
4. He will take away a tenth of your increase (we are a bit above this now)
5. He will make you his servant (how many months do we work just to break even on the taxes owed?)

8:19 Never the less the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;

Romans 13:1 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.

How does God put people in power? In America He uses the voting system. If we say "God will put into office who He wants" and we don't vote, then what does God do? Miraclously change the ballots?

Many times in the book of Judges it says "he did wickedness in the sight of God" and Israel would fall into bondage, then it says a few times "he did what was right in the eyes of God" and Israel prospered.

How can a person who does not believe Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus the Christ) is God, judge righteously? It is a tennant of the Christian faith to believe Yeshua is God. If we don't who died for our sins? If there is another God, then why did God say to Israel "There is one God."
How can we obey the commandment to have no other gods? Yeshua accepted worship and God said worship only Me.

Truth: Christians are to vote...God wants godly men in office so we can prosper
Truth: No man is perfect, but David was a man after God's heart...Romney is not after God's heart because God's heart is Yeshua the Messiah. He may believe in Jesus, but he believes Jesus was created and not God. He believes in baptizing forthe dead to get them into heaven, and he believes he may one day be a ruler of his own planet with 7 virgins to repopulate it.

It would be to our advantage to do some research and tell others of the sword that is coming to our land Ezekiel 3.

Abstract

This blog will state various issues and search for truth in these issues.
It is very common for people to say things that they believe, and as conversations continue they contridict what they just said they believe. An example of this is someone who believes they love their wife, but then cheats on her. Another example is someone who believes in the Bible but has never read it.
