If I were the devil, I would try my best to make sure that the people on this planet remain ignorant of the mind of God. I would promote atheism first in order to cause people to question the existence of God. Then, for those others who dug deep and proved the existence of God, I would send religious leaders to scramble their brains, so that they might never wake up and get around to realizing what is in God’s mind. Once people realize what God has in mind for us, there is an amazing transformation.
One of the moderately effective ways of separating people away from God is to project the idea that God is a blob, some intangible something that is just floating around the universe.
God is not a blob. Scripture shows that we were made in his image, not the other way around. He has eyes, ears, mouth, legs, feet, etc. If we link up with him in the right way, we are the apple of his eye. That would not be possible if he had no eyes.
Another thing that separates people from God is the projecting of mythology. The traditional (Ouch, that hurts!) hell fire is a product of fear religion and the mistranslations of the King James Bible. You don’t believe it? Request the free booklet: Hell Is A Lie! It is free from 8v@8v.com and will be sent to you by overland mail if you request it.

Thanks to people believing in hell, the majority have a view that God is a sadistic monster who is ready to roast you for eternity because you didn’t make the grade. That really doesn’t make sense, does it? Unfortunately, we live in a self-destructive counter-productive world. But we ought to transcend that. God wants you to do well. He wants you to succeed. He wants you to have so much happiness you will have to share it for the overwhelming force it is.
“Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give to you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32). It’s His pleasure! Notice this is addressed to the little flock. So few people realize that God is on their side. It is His pleasure to pave the way so that you may inherit the kingdom!
Philosophers and theologians many times like to portray God as being mean. And He is mean to people who deliberately rebel against them. However, even in dealing with these rebels, he simply kills them, which is the merciful thing. He does not sentence them to be tortured for eternity. The notion of eternal punishing has done more to alienate people from God than any thing else.
Most of us would do well to just blow the dust off our Bibles and come to find out what is really in the mind of God. We really shouldn’t be relying on religious leaders to tell us what is in the book. We don’t need to be spoon fed. We should read it for ourselves.

The Father exists as the top individual in the universe. There is no one above Him. What precisely is He like?
Paul proclaimed that the people of Athens were too superstitious (Acts 17:22). The King James “superstitious” is from the Greek “deisidaimonesteros”. It means “superstitious” and it means “religious”. In essence he was telling them they were too religious. Their religion was getting in their way of knowing the true God. The same thing happens today. We, as humans, are subject to conditioning. As children we are taught what to think of God as being. That conditioning is transferred from generation to generation based on the specific superstition or religion of the parents. The conditioning usually remains intact even if the child rebels against the religion. It is from this conditioning that we have the seed of our concept of what God is like. For this reason He is, in most cases and to most people, the Unknown God.
This was also true when Paul addressed the Athenians. He declared to them the Unknown God who they ignorantly worshipped (Acts 17:23). The King James “ignorantly” is from the Greek “agnoountes” meaning “without understanding”. The first part is a root for agnostic.
FAQ Bible
The most basic foundational knowledge of what God is like is: He is not the god that we make. He is the God that made us and everything around us (Acts 17:24-26).
“I, even I, am the the Eternal; and beside me there is no savior” (Isaiah 43:11).
The Father allowed his Son to die an agonizing death for our benefit (John 3:16). Since He is the perfect Father (Matthew 7:11) His concern for his Son was no less than complete profound love. And yet, He was also willing to allow His Son to become the Messiah, the sacrifice of the Passover. Jesus, our Passover, is sacrificed for us (1 Corinthians 5:7).
The Almighty is not perishable. He is immortal (1 Timothy 1:17). We can be thankful that His thoughts are not our thoughts and his ways are not our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9).
What precisely does God look like? He looks like us. We were made in his image (Genesis 1:26). However, his face shines with a bright white light. How do we know? Because his Son’s face shines like the sun shines in its strength (Revelation 1:13-16). And Christ said, in essence, “…he that has seen me has seen the Father…” (John 14:9).
If you take a picture with an old-style non-digital camera, the image originally produced, in most cases, is a negative. However, you can take a negative to be developed. In the developing stage, the negative image is exposed to a bright light for a specific length of time and the result is a good picture with a positive image. The same is true for us. We are the negative image of God. When we are exposed to the light, which is Christ (John 1:4-5), then we are transformed by the renewing of our minds (Romans 12:2).
“For if our Gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them” (2 Corinthians 4:3-4).
God knows everything that is available for knowing. And what is not available for knowing, he does not know. For example, He did not know that Abraham would really try to kill his son Isaac as a sacrifice. After Abraham tried it, then God knew (Genesis 22:11-12), meaning before this time, He did not know.
God knows the thoughts of people (1 Corinthians 3:19-20, Psalm 94:11). He controls the eco system of this planet and all the stars and planets of this universe (Job chapter 38). He has a plan and can force his plan to work for good. You and I are a part of that plan.

There is an unwritten rule in human behavior in in today’s society that seniority counts. This idea might be practiced in an even-handed way or a pushy way. For example, if a doctor has been practicing medicine for 5 years he will probably feel superior to a new doctor who has been practicing medicine for only 2 years. And the doctor may feel totally justified in pushing the new doctor around based on his seniority. The 5-year doctor may or may not be more knowledgeable. In every profession we see people trying to lord it over others based on seniority, academic credentials, rank, wealth, status, connections, etc.
Unfortunately we often see the same problems in Christianity. We see leaders who feel they have the justification for lording it over others based on their credentials, status, rank, or other arbitrary measuring sticks. People who have doctorate degrees will almost always feel superior to people who do not have doctorate degrees. People who have accredited degrees feel superior to people who have unaccredited degrees, even when those degrees are not produced by degree mills. People in local government often have degree mill degrees and feel superior to people who have no degrees at all, although a degree mill degree is just a certificate given in exchange for money. People with masters degrees generally feel superior to people who have only a bachelors degree. And, of course, at the bottom of the barrel are all the high school drop-outs, feeling, at times, inferior. And, yet, many geniuses are high school drop-outs. Most companies try to hire people with high level degrees and reject people who have little or no college. Doctors, especially medical doctors, are looked up to in most of today’s society. It’s no wonder they like to play God on occasions.
Christ’s plan does not include such a system. However, even disciples of Christ are sometimes unaware of this. The mother of Zebedee’s children wanted her sons to be the right hand man and left hand man next to Jesus. She wanted her son’s to be big shots in the coming kingdom (Matthew 20:20-21).
FAQ Bible
The other ten disciples heard about this and were angry (verse 24). Christ explained that the princes of the Gentiles (nations) lord it over others (verse 25) but a disciple of Christ is not to do such a thing.
“But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; and whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant” (Matthew 20:26-27). Many leaders are unwilling to accept the system of Christ because they have a desire to exalt themselves.
“And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abashed; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted” (Matthew 23:12). “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time” (1 Peter 5:6).
One primary thing that keeps people from being a part of Christ’s system is pride.
“Better it is to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud” (Proverbs 16:19).
“…the patient in spirit [is] better that the proud in spirit” (Ecclesiastes 7:8). “…God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble” (James 4:6). “When pride comes, then comes shame: but with the lowly is wisdom” (Proverbs 11:2).

A “speculative personal opinion” concerning this subject.
There is no doubt that during the time of John the Baptist, there was a lot of anticipation and expectation in Judea that some prophetic event was about to happen:
Mark 1:5 …there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.
Mark 1:7 And [John] preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.
Mark 1:8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. [Holy Spirit].
Lots of people were waiting for the appearance of the deliverer of Israel to suddenly appear and liberate the nation from Roman rule – the prophesied King of Israel.
When Jesus first appeared in Public life, Phillip found Nathaniel and said to him:
We have found him, of whom Moses in the Law and the prophets did write – Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. Nathaniel said unto him, Can anything good come out of Nazareth? (John 1:41-46) [Bethlehem was the expected city.]
After meeting Jesus, Nathaniel declared: Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are the King of Israel. (John 1:49)
Three years later, Peter, James, John and Andrew questioned Jesus about the end of the age and the establishment of the Kingdom of God. Jesus responded that of that DAY and HOUR – no man knows, but my Father only. (Mk: 13:32, Mt.24:36)
Not only did they ask about the end of the age, but they also asked about the sign of his coming (Mt 24:3).
FAQ-Bible
There is no doubt that the words Jesus spoke to his disciples were written for us today:
…woe unto them that that are with child, and to them that give suck IN THOSE DAYS. (Matt. 24:19)
…except THOSE DAYS should be shortened, no flesh would be saved alive. (Matt. 24:22)
Christ was not talking about “his” generation, but one that was yet future from his – “IN THOSE DAYS”. Notice that “JUDEAH” must be in existence for this prophecy to be fulfilled – IN THOSE DAYS:
Then, let them which be in “JUDEAH” flee into the mountains…(Matt. 24:16)
Christ mentioned that “this generation” [in those days of JUDEAH] shall not pass away until all things are fulfilled. That generation will see the return of Jesus Christ in Glory, the resurrection of the saints and the establishment of the Kingdom of God. It will be easier for Heaven and earth to pass away than for his words to pass away! (Matt. 5:18)
The name Judea is a Greek and Roman adaptation of the name “Judah”, which originally encompassed the territory of the Israelite tribe of that name and later of the ancient Kingdom of Judah. The area was the site of the Kingdom of Judah, a client kingdom of the Roman Empire. In modern times, the name “Yehudah” may be used by Hebrew speakers to refer to a large southern section of Israel and the West Bank, or in the combined term “Judea and Samaria” to refer specifically to the West Bank area south of Jerusalem. This is done in Israel today.
After World War I, the League of Nations approved the British Mandate of Palestine with the intent of creating a “national home for the Jewish people.” In November 29, 1947, the United Nations approved the Partition of Palestine into two states, one Jewish and one Arab. Six months later, On May 14, 1948, the state of Israel declared independence and this was followed by a war with the surrounding Arab states, which refused to accept the plan. The Israelis were subsequently victorious in the series of wars confirming their independence and expanding the borders of the Jewish state beyond those in the UN Partition Plan. Since then, Israel has been in conflict with many of the neighboring Arab countries, resulting in several major wars and decades of violence that continue to this day. JUDEAH is Israel today.
THIS GENERATION — What precisely is a generation? How long is a generation? Are we living in “that” generation? Will we see the return of Jesus Christ in “our” generation?
HARPER’S BIBLE DICTIONARY: generation (Heb. dor), the period of time between the birth of parents and the birth of their children; all of the people alive during that time. The OT uses ‘generation’ only loosely as a measure of time, and it is therefore difficult to use the term in exact chronological calculations. Though a generation sometimes covers up to a hundred years (Gen. 15:13, 16; Exod. 12:40), most biblical writers seem to consider thirty to forty years to be a normal generation (Deut. 2:14; Job 42:16; Ps. 95:10). Usually ‘generation’ simply refers to all of the people at a given time (Gen. 6:9; Ps. 14:5; 24:6; 49:19; 24:6; 112:2; Jer. 2:3). The days of our years (a generation) are threescore and ten. (Ps: 90:10), or 70 years.
Here are some verses of scripture that relate to “generation”-
Gen. 15:13 And they shall afflict them four hundred years.
Gen 15: 16 …in the fourth generation they shall come here again (100 years).
Ps. 95:10 Forty years long I was grieved with this generation (40 years).
Isa. 53:8 He was taken out of prison and from judgment, and who shall declare his generation? (33 years)
Ps. 90:10 The days of our years (a generation) are threescore years and ten (70 years).
If the Sate of Israel (modern JUDEAH) was established in 1948, and Jesus’ words must be fulfilled within a generation, [this generation shall not pass away], which generation could possibly apply to us: the 100 years, 70 years, 40 years, or the 33 years generation?
It cannot be the 33 year generation, or the 40. Why? It’s because if you add those numbers to “1948”, (when JUDEAH came into existence) you will get 1981, and 1988, and the end is not yet. If you add the 70 year generation you get 2018, and if you add the 100 year generation, you get the year 2048. Do you believe that the present world order will last to 2048? Really?
2018 is 9 years away at the time of the writing of this article.
Remember, no man knows the DAY or the HOUR, but can he know the approximate year? That’s the point of this article.
We are to WATCH and pray always that we may be worthy to escape all the things that should come to pass. We ought to have our vessels filled with oil [God’s Holy Spirit] so we can be prepared to “trim our lamps” and await the bridegroom with the anticipation of Phillip and Nathaniel. They knew the time was near for the Messiah to appear, and they were WATCHING, but they didn’t know the exact DAY or HOUR. Neither does any man today. But we are able to watch, and be ready.
The reason the approximate year can be known is because once the abomination of desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days [or 3.5 years] “…before all these things shall be finished” (Dan.12:7,11). So, if you subtract 3.5 years from 2018, the abomination of desolation would be set up in 2014.5 (Dan.11:31); the sacrifices at Jerusalem would have begun three and one half years earlier in 2011 .
There will be three and one half years of “Peace and Safety” and economic success in this world, until the sacrifices be terminated three and one half years later in 2014.5 (Dan. 9:27); European elections in June of 2009 will create a “European President” that will speak for Europe with one voice and will be involved in a peace treaty with Jerusalem – by a world ruler called “the man of sin” or “the antichrist” (2 Thess. 2:3). This is the seven year covenant [treaty] that will allow the sacrifices in the Holy Sanctuary at Jerusalem to begin, in return for Jerusalem to be divided in two, for the sake of middle east peace (Dan. 9:27, 11:31, 12:11). After 3.5 yrs. the “covenant” will be broken (Dan.9:27) by the man of sin and he will position his armies and the abomination of desolation in the city of Jerusalem. At this time, the woman [the church] will go to “her place” for 3.5 years to a place of safety (Rev. 12:6, 14) for training in God’s governmental structure and policies. The “remnant” of the woman – the church – will be persecuted by the Dragon for a time, and times, and half a time – [3.5 years] — to be “purified, and made white and tried” (Dan. 12: 10). At the end of the 3.5 years, [at the 7th. Trumpet], the angels shall gather together all the saints [the elect] and will return with Christ to the Mount of Olives to establish his government on earth, as the year 2018 comes to a close. (Zech.14:4)
Then we come to “The Beginning”, when the kingdom, and dominion and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven [the kingdom of the Beast which had been ruling for 7 years - 3.5 years before the Peace Treaty was broken, and 3.5 years during the great tribulation] – shall be given to the people of the Saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey Him [and them- the saints] (Dan. 7:18).
Note: The next significant prophetic event to be fulfilled is the 7 year peace treaty between the head nation of the Beast Power (Germany – under direction of the Vatican) and Jerusalem, some time in 2011. If this event is fulfilled, then the Kingdom of God has drawn closer than what we ever believed. Then, look up – for your redemption draws near!
WATCH THEREFORE: FOR YOU KNOW NOT WHAT HOUR YOUR LORD DOTH COME (MATT. 24:42).

The activity of Aaron and the children of Israel in the building of the golden calf exists as a profound lesson to both teens and adults in today’s status-driven world of peer pressure. We would never adore a golden calf or something similar, simply because of peer pressure. Or, would we?
Aaron, the leader next to Moses, should have known better. In fact, he did know better. Peer pressure is likely just as big a problem for adults as it is for teens. When the golden calf was finished, he (Aaron) announced: “Tomorrow is a feast to the Lord” (Exodus 32:5). A righteous prophet might have asked, “Which Lord?” Baal also means Lord. The same might be asked in today’s world in which commercial religions are customized for today’s consciousnesses and political correctness. It is the way of Cain (Jude 1:11), substituting our own religion in place of the religion of God. Cain felt it wasn’t important enough to learn what God really expected. Instead of conforming to God’s religion, Cain killed the one who was practicing true religion, Abel. The same is true today.
“Just a closer walk with thee” is a popular song in religious circles. Unfortunately, the way in which a close walk with God is outlined in scripture is not generally well received in today’s world. It too, is remembered only as a lovely song without application.
“…you are unto them as a very lovely song of one that has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear your words, but they do them not” (Ezekiel 33:32).
FAQ Bible
That is a vital reason there has to be an end time Elijah. He will have to oppose the end time Jezebel (Revelation 2:20). And she is not corrupting people who are already corrupt. She is reaching out, teaching and seducing God’s “… servants to commit fornication {porneuo} and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.” That end time Elijah will draw the difference between the 2 Lords, same as the first Elijah. The word “Elijah” is “el” is “yah”, God is Yah (short for YHVH). He will be hated by the God-hating media as he turns the hearts of the children to the fathers and the hearts of the fathers to the children (Malachi 4:5-6). Contrary to popular notions among religious leaders, the word “porneuo” is a generic Greek verb, meaning, idolatry of all kinds, particularly idolizing someone who is your mate, particularly fetishism (sexual idolatry), aberrant sexual behavior practiced by people having jaded appetites.
We can certainly look forward to the time when the teachers will not be removed to a corner any more (Isaiah 30:20), idolatry will be thrown out like a filthy rag (verse 22), and there will be no more Canaanites (Merchants) in the house of the Eternal of hosts (Zechariah 14:21).
There will exist no idolatry in the universe of tomorrow.
“…they that feared the LORD spoke often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and the book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine, says the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, like a man spares his own son that serves him. Then shall you return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serves God and him that serves him not” (Malachi 3:16-18).

We should always be redeeming the time (Ephesians 5:16 and Colossians 4:5). We work or practice our occupation within the context of the time during which we are both healthy and able to work. And, so, we are able to work if we are healthy. And we are healthy generally if we eat correctly and exercise to keep the physical body in good shape and avoid catastrophic damage to our bodies (such as traffic accidents). However, all that we do physically is within the context of our lifetime. There was a book written with the title “Your In-box Will Not Be Empty When You Die” or words to that effect. The point being made by the writer was that, no matter when we die, it is usually unexpected and disruptive with lots of unfinished business left behind.
Our physical life is contained in the context of the spiritual potential. We can keep ourselves in moderately good shape and maybe even live to be over a hundred years old. But eventually the body does die. Everything that is physical has the potential to wear out.
An excellent analogy was made between physical water and living water when Christ spoke to the Samaritan woman at the well.
“Jesus answered and said to her, Whosoever drinks of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life” (John 4:13-14). Unlike the physical water we drink that keeps our chemical physical body alive, the spiritual water available through Christ carries with it the promise of eternal life.
On the Last Great Day (a feast day), Christ made the point that believers would be a conduit for the living water, the Holy Spirit, which would flow through them to others (John 7:37-39).
“If a man die, shall he live [again]? All the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come” (Job 14:14).
Those individuals led by the Spirit of God, which are sons of God (Romans 8:14) will be changed during the last trump into bodies that don’t die (1 Corinthians 15:51-54).
FAQ-Bible
God warns his people not to forsake the fountain of living water, hewing out broken cisterns, which are unable to hold water (Jeremiah 2:13). There is no other name under heaven whereby we must be saved other than the name of Jesus Christ (Acts 4:10-12). This is the true difference between Christianity and all other religions and beliefs. Acceptance of the sacrifice of Christ is reconciliation with God, permitting us to be saved by his life (Romans 5:10). Christ was raised from the dead. He is the living Messiah. He is not simply a good teacher, a good leader, or a prophet. He is the first begotten from the dead (Revelation 1:5). There will be thousands (or millions) who will be begotten from the dead when Jesus returns. The dead in Christ will rise first (1 Thessalonians 4:16).
Bible prophecies usually center around Christ, the Lamb, who will become the absolute monarch of this planet (Revelation 19:16). And the fulfillment of the prophecies are insured by his Father, the infinite force of the universe.
“Remember the former things of old: for I [am] God, and [there is] none else; [I am] God, and [there is] none like me. Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times [the things] that are not [yet] done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executes my counsel from a far country: yes, I have spoken [it], I will also bring it to pass. I have purposed [it]; I will also do it” (Isaiah 46:9-11).

“…my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, says the Eternal” (Isaiah 55:8). We can know almost as much about the Creator’s thoughts as a grasshopper can know about our thoughts.
If I gave a lukewarm cup of water to you and said to you, “keep it cold”, you would probably think I had a bad choice of words. You cannot keep something cold if it isn’t cold to begin with. You might put it in the refrigerator and make it cold.
FAQ-Bible
By the same token, we, as humans, can’t make any thing holy. Only God can make something holy. We, as humans, can only do our best to keep something holy after it is already made holy by God. Human trying make something holy, including themselves, is a major break with reality.
We, as humans, cannot make ourselves holy. We can do our best to attempt to keep ourselves holy but this is only after the Father (the Most High God) has made us holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ (Hebrews 10:9-10). The King James word “sanctified” is from the Greek word “hagiazo”, which means to be set apart for a holy purpose. In fact, keeping ourselves holy can only be accomplished with the help of the Comforter, the Holy Spirit (John 14:26 and John 15:26).
The King James word “comforter” is from the Greek “parakletos”, which means “called to one’s side”, indicating a manifest aid for helping keep us holy in the sight of God. This comforter, the Holy Spirit, is the power and presence of the One who sits at the controls of this vast universe. It costs you nothing except ultimate commitment.
Religious leaders who try to make merchandise (2 Peter 2:3) of people are ,at times, in the category of idol shepherds who leave the flock (Zechariah 11:17). Religious leaders are sometimes referred to as “hirelings”, particularly if their only motivation is to make money from their followers.
In today’s world of religiosity, you will find many hirelings, hired hands who see religion as a business and their part of the business as performing in order to receive a paycheck. There is nothing wrong with getting a paycheck if you really care about the people who are seeking a closer walk with the Eternal. But the hireling doesn’t care. “The hireling flees, because he is a hireling, and cares not for the sheep” (John 10:13). But Christ is the good shepherd who laid down his life for the sheep (verse 14-15).
The Eternal is not willing than any should perish but that all should come to repentance. However, Christianity is exclusive. There is no other way through which humans must obtain salvation (eternal life) other than through Jesus Christ (Acts 4:10-12).

“…he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still” (Revelation 22:11). Individuals who are holy will be taking part in the first resurrection, thereby avoiding the second death (Revelation 20:6).

Understanding Chakra Balancing – Modern science has done its best to obliterate from the minds of people the existence and importance of spiritual being within the physical being.
The Hindu thought of life, however, has kept the flame of spiritual-healing burning amidst the advancements in science and technology.
The body itself actually consists of seven primary and literally thousands of secondary chakras. “Chakra” is Sanskrit for “wheel of light,” and according to this belief, these chakras vibrate and rotate without stopping when the human body is healthy. Read the rest of this entry »
