The Absolute Truth

"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?"--Jeremiah 17:9 "Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth".--2 Timothy 3:7 "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the traditon of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ".--Colossians 2:8 "They profess that they know God; but in works they deny Him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate".--Titus 1:16 "Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen".--Romans 1:25 "There is a way which seems right unto a man; but the end thereof are the ways of death".--Proverbs 14:12 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord".--Romans 6:23 "In Whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, acording to the riches of His grace".--Ephesians 1:7 "That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness: and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation".--Romans 10:9,10

Who is the One True God and do you know Him and Worship Him???

There are many religions in the world today as well as in recorded history but there is only ONE that teaches that their GOD paid the price for the sins of mankind. And that is Christianity. Is there any other religion that teaches that their God was incarnated in the flesh(John 1:14KJV), lived a sinless life(2 Corinthians 5:21), fulfilled the Law(Matthew 5:17), sentenced to death for no crimes committed(John 19:10-16), nailed to a cross(Colossians 2:14), suffered 3 hours FROM mankind(Luke 23:34-39), suffered FOR mankind for 3 hours while the SINS of the world( PAST, PRESENT, and FUTURE) were placed upon Him and the WRATH of the FATHER consumed those sins(Luke 23:44-45), proclaimed "It is FINISHED"(John 19:30), COMMITTED His Spirit into the Hands of HIS FATHER(Luke23:46), DIED(John 19:30; Luke 23:46; Mark 15;37; and Matthew 27:50), BURIED(Matthew 27:58-60; Mark 15:4346; Luke 23:52-56; and John 19:38-42), and RESURRECTED on the 3rd day(Matthew 28:1-6; Mark 16:1-6; Luke 24:1-6; and John 20:1-9), to RECONCILE(SALVATION) mankind to GOD? No, there is no other religion that proclaims this. WHY?

Let's take Islam, for example. Muslims, if your religion is truly the RELIGION OF PEACE, how come you are so unhappy? If Islam is the Religion of Peace, how come I only see hatred and violence from it? Muslims, if your religion is the Religion of Peace, how can peace co-exist with hatred? How can peace co-exist with violence? The truth is that peace can't co-exist with hatred and violence. If your god is a god of peace, why is hatred the battle cry and violence the conversion method of your faith? If Islam was the Religion of Peace, wouldn't people be flocking to it instead of running away in fear? The fact is, I find no evidence of peace, love, joy, and happiness in Islam, only hatred, anger, and violence. Your religion hasn't proved that your god exists, on the contrary, it's gone out of it's way to prove that your god DOESN'T exist and that's why I believe what I believe, besides the ABSOLUTE TRUTH of the Holy Bible.

Islam isn't a Religion of Peace, it's a RELIGION OF FEAR. Why is Islam a Religion of Fear? I'll tell you why. Islam is a false religion and Allah is a false god. Muslims, you are following a god who does not exist. Just like the gods of other false religions, the god of Islam, is a god that doesn't exist and never did. All the false religions like Islam have their "true" and "divine" prophets still buried where they were buried, just a pile of bones and dust, never to be raised again. People proclaim Islam as the "RELIGION OF PEACE", but that's a myth just like the claim that their are "MODERATE" Muslims. Why? Because as Islam is a Religion of Fear, Muslims are afraid to speak out against evil acts committed in the name of their god. Why? Because like everyone else who lives in fear for their lives if they were to even criticize Islam, so do Muslims live in that same fear. What kind of religion is that, to live in fear all the time? Muslims, don't you realise that by being quiet about the evil your religion is committing that you're only CONDONING what it is doing? Why am I telling you all of this? I'm telling you this out of LOVE because you don't LOVE someone if you don't tell them the truth, and I'm telling you the TRUTH.

Muslims, if you searched your heart, truly searched your heart, you'll find an empty space that your religion can not fill, because only TRUE LOVE can fill that hole and His Name is Jesus Christ, the SON of the ONE TRUE GOD and the ONE TRUE GOD Himself.

Allah is not a real god and he certainly isn't the TRUE GOD. He was made up by Mohammad so that Mohammad would have somebody to worship since he rejected the ONE TRUE GOD. And as for being the so called "Religion of Peace", there's nothing peaceful about flying planes into buildings, blowing up innocent people in the name of a false god, killing people over cartoons, trying to subject the world, by force, to convert to a false religion by whatever means possible, usually with the threat of death if a person doesn't. What is free about that? Nothing. Islam is a religion of bondage while Christianity is a religion of freedom, as freedom came with a price, by the SON of the TRUE GOD taking the place of sinful mankind to pay the price for them so that mankind wouldn't have to, IF THEY BELIEVE IN HIM WITH THEIR HEART(Romans 10:9-10).

Christianity is the TRUE RELIGION OF PEACE, as how many people have Christians killed recently when they've been offended by so called objects of "art" like a crucifix in a jar of piss or dung heaped on an image of Mary? Or when UNGODLY institutions like the ACLU try to ban anything pertaining to God in this country? How many lawyers for the ACLU have been attacked with violence by outraged Christians for their actions? None come to mind. Have any ACLU buildings been blown up and/or burnt to the ground by outraged Christians? No. Do you know why the ACLU sticks up for the rights of Muslims while trampling the rights of Christians? It's because the ACLU FEARS Islam but ridicules Christianity every chance they get because the ACLU doesn't fear retaliation from Christians. They FEAR RETALIATION from Islam and live in fear because of that.The ONLY thing the ACLU fears about Christianity is the spreading of the ABSOLUTE TRUTH, which is only found in the WORD OF GOD, the Holy Bible, which TRUE Christians preach.

So, where do you find out about the ONE TRUE GOD? In the Holy Bible of course! What does the Bible say?

Isaiah 43:10-12(KJV): 10)"Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen; that you may know and believe Me, and understand that I AM He: before Me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me. 11)I, even I, AM the Lord; and beside Me there is no saviour. 12)I have declared, and have SAVED, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you; therefore ye are My witnesses, saith the Lord, That I AM GOD."

Isaiah 9:6(KJV): 6)"For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder; and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty GOD, the everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."

Matthew 3:16-17(KJV): 16)"And Jesus, when He was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and lo, the heavens were opened unto Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon Him: 17)And lo a voice from heaven, saying, this is My Beloved SON, in whom I AM well pleased."

John 15:26(KJV): 26)"But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of Truth, which proceedeth from the Father, He shall testify of Me."

Matthew 28:19(KJV): 19)"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."

Are you worshipping the TRUE GOD, the ONE who came to earth to PAY YOUR PRICE so you wouldn't have to, or are you worshipping a god that has no power, that isn't alive, that doesn't exist? And Muslims, I am not attacking you personally, I'm revealing the falsehoods of your religion and the vile actions of said religion, all in the name of a god who does not exist, to point out that Islam is a religion of bondage, where there is no true peace and to call you to the TRUE GOD, where true peace is found only in Jesus Christ, the ONE who PAID your price so you wouldn't have to, the One who is knocking on the door of your heart waiting for you to invite Him in to sup with Him(Revelation 3:20), to have a personal relationship with Him, a relationship that lasts for Eternity, a relationship that Allah and every other false god can not deliver on, and that is Eternal Salvation and spending Eternity with the ONE TRUE GOD, the ONE who CREATED you and also DIED for you as SALVATION is only found in HIM ALONE, BY GRACE ALONE, through FAITH ALONE(Ephesians 2:8-9). Please, please, heed His call because He's been calling you and every one else who worships a false god, since He knew you in your mother's womb(Jeremiah 1:5)"

"You Can't Take CHRIST out of CHRISTmas"

During this season of GIVING, a lot of people go out of their way to celebrate the season while trying to forget, or remove, or ignore, the reason for the season. And the reason they do is because of ignorance, fear, or in the case of the ACLU hatred(you can find loads of documented facts of the ACLU's war against CHRISTmas and everything God on sites like http://Stoptheaclu.com), of the name Jesus CHRIST. But, you can't take CHRIST out of CHRISTmas. Why?

Because God the Father GAVE His Son to pay the price for the sins of you and me:

John 3:16-18(KJV): 16)"For God so loved the world, that He GAVE His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17)For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. 18)He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

God GAVE His Son to the world, to pay the price for the world's sins, that any who believe in Jesus CHRIST will be save. God gave a FREE GIFT to the world almost 2000 years ago, GIVING all He had(His Son), so people like you and I might be saved through CHRIST. How do we know it's FREE?

Romans 3:23-25(KJV): 23)For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24)Being justified FREELY by His grace through the redemption that is in CHRIST Jesus: 25)Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His BLOOD, to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

Romans 5:15-18(KJV): 15)"But not as the offense, so also is the FREE GIFT. For if through the offense of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the GIFT by grace, which is by one man, Jesus CHRIST, hath abounded unto many. 16)And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the GIFT: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the FREE GIFT is of many offences unto justification. 17)For if by one man's offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the GIFT of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus CHRIST. 18)Therefore as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the FREE GIFT came upon all men unto justification of life."

Ephesians 2:8-9(KJV): 8)"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the GIFT of God: 9)NOT OF WORKS, lest any man should boast."

And when God says FREE, that's exactly what He means, FREE. There's no small disclaimer denying that it isn't FREE. And God has been GIVING to mankind ever since He breathed the breath of life into Adam, making Adam a living soul.

So, the reason for the season is truly Jesus CHRIST, for in a season, God FREELY GAVE His Son, the greatest gift to mankind, so that mankind could be saved and forgiven of their sins. So that's why we call this the season of GIVING, because we GIVE what we were FREELY GIVEN, and that's CHRIST, and Him crucified.

And by the way, it's CHRISTmas, not Chrismas, as there's no silent T in CHRIST.

What is Salvation in Jesus and Why Does it Matter?

If I ask, "What are the 10 Commandments?", I'm sure a majority of people would know what they are or at least one of the commandments. An important question is, "Why are they important?" They are important because they show mankind that they are a sinner under the Law. What Law? God's Law. The Law defines sin. Sin is the perversion of what is good. Let's look at the 10 Commandments, which can be found in Exodus chapter 20 in the Holy Bible.

Exodus 20:3-17(King James Version):

3)"Thou shalt have no other gods before Me."

4)"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth."

7)"Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain."

8)"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy."

12)"Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee."

13)"Thou shalt not kill(murder)."

14)"Thou shalt not commit adultery."

15)"Thou shalt not steal."

16)"Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor."

17)"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass(donkey), nor any thing that is thy neighbor's."

The first four commandments(vss. 3, 4, 7, 8) deal with a person's relationship with God. The other six commandments(vss. 12-17) deal with a person's relationship with other people.

How many of you out there think they are a good person? Have you ever committed adultry? Adultery is having sexual intercourse outside of marriage and/or lust in your heart for someone. Have you ever had one night stands, had sex with a boyfriend/girlfriend, had sex with a fiance, etc. Have you ever looked at a man/woman with lust? If you have, then you are an adulterer. All of these fit adultery or sexual perversion, which perverts what is good, which is sex in a marriage. Sex outside of a marriage and/or lust for someone makes you an adulterer.

How many of you have stolen anything in their lives? If you have, then you are a thief. How many of you have lied or lied about a friend, neighbor, relative, about yourself? If you have, then you are a liar.

How many of you have murdered someone? And lets define murder, which is the taking of an innocent life. Killing someone fighting a war or in self-denfense is not murder. In war, countries fight one another and know going in that soldiers will die. You fight for your country. In self-denfense, you are protecting yourself from someone who's intent is to harm you. So, how many of you have murdered someone? If you have, then you're a murderer.

How many of you have lusted after what your neighbor has, or what a friend has, or what a relative has? If you have, then you are a coveter.

The reason for these examples is not to anger people, tho some will be angry. It's to show that tho you think you're a good person, you aren't a good person in God's eyes. You are a sinner. You fall short of God's perfect mark and you are unable to live according to the Law or to be justified by the Law. What is a person to do? Since a person can't save themselves because they can't totally observe all the Law, God has provide a plan of salvation. What is that plan? Salvation through His Son.

Many times have you seen people at sporting events or at protest marches or on the news who hold up signs that say John 3:16. And I'm sure a lot of people know what John 3:16 says. But how many people truly knows what it means? Lets look at John 3:16.

John 3:16(KJV): 16)"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son(Jesus), that whosoever believeth in Him(Jesus) should not perish, but have everlasting life."

It says that God gave His Son and that anyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. But to understand what it means, you need to read John 3:17,18 with verse 16 to put verse 16 into context.

John 3:17,18(KJV): 17)"For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved." 18)"He that believeth on Him(Jesus) is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son(Jesus) of God."

God sent His Son not to condemn the world but to save the world, that anyone who believes in Jesus, that accepts what Jesus did on the cross for them, would not perish but have everlasting life. Anyone who does not believe in Jesus or what He did for them on the cross has condemn themselves already. God doesn't condemn sinners. Sinners condemn themselves. Every one of us should be hanging from our own crosses and paying for our sins but we don't have to if we believe in Jesus, believe Jesus paid our debt in full, that He was our substitute. What the Law has condemned to death Jesus has redeemed to life. Where the Law exposes sinners God forgave them by His Son's sacrifice on the cross. Where the Law justified no sinners Jesus justified sinners that believe in Him by His blood shed on Calvary. Under the Law we are codemn to death, through Jesus we are born again to new life. That's salvation in Jesus. Why does it matter?

Acts 4:12(KJV): 12)"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name(Jesus) under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."

John 14:6(KJV): 6)"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father(God), but by Me."

It matters because God has no other plan for salvation.

"I'll stand on the absolute truth, the Word of God, and leave the relative truth to worldly people."

My Testimony

I was raised in a middle class family, my dad a Navy SEAL and my mom a stay-at-home mom. A couple of months after my 9th birthday, my mom died of Lupus(an auto immune disease). This would play a large part of my anger at and waged war against God, who for a majority of my life, I blamed for my mother's death.

Around this time or maybe a year earlier, I don't remember exactly when, I was baptised into the Church of Jesus Christ for Latter Day Saints(LDS). As an 8 or 9 year old, I was under the impression that I was saved and that this church was a church where God resided in. I was a member until after my 13th birthday, where I was suppose to go to church 3 times each Sunday. Well, I got tired of that and I was disappointed that God seemed to change His mind a lot. It wasn't until years later that I found out that the LDS is a false church and their "Jesus" isn't the Jesus of the Bible. Tho I wasn't saved there and never could be saved there, I now know that the question of "God changing His mind a lot" was the Holy Spirit nudging my conscienceness about the LDS. I can look back now and know that that wasn't the only time that God worked in my life, that through my whole life before I was saved, I can see circumstances where God got involved in my life.

By the time I graduated from high school at 19, I wasn't involved with any church and I had a fierce anger at God, where I took His name in vain, cursed Him out, challenged Him to come fight me, and anything else I could do show how I disliked God and could careless what anybody had to say to me about my attitude towards Him. When I was 20, my grandmother turned over to me money and stocks and bonds that my grandfather had invested for me from the time I was born. This was a lot of money, to the point that I didn't have to work in a job as I considered my job to be investing my money into stocks and to living off the gains I made from doing so.

At 23, fresh from dropping out of college, I bought myself my first home, a condo in NJ. Tho it was a difficult process, mainly because I had no credit rating, I was in my own home, and that meant a lot to me. I stayed there 3 1/2 years, where I spent a majority of my time being by myself, investing in the stock market and being very careful with the money. I spent some weekends at my friend's house in central NJ, who I met in college. Eventually I moved up there and bought myself a house, which I managed to turn into a house of debauchy.

I had my own house and did whatever I liked, whether that was having loud parties and disturbing the neighbors, shooting my semi-automatic shotgun off my back porch, drinking large amounts of booze, doing cocaine or speed, hooking up with women from bars and other places, gambling on sports, and whatever else I could do to please myself. At this time, I still had the condo so I was paying two morgages, which I couldn't afford to do and that and spending foolishly with the money I manged to go broke and had to turn to my dad to bail me out.

I lived almost 5 years at this house and I manged to treat that house badly and didn't bother to try to keep up with the upkeep. Nothing mattered to me other than pleasing myself with whatever I wanted, no matter if that was doing drugs, having sex with women or prositutes, buying x-rated movies, or betting on sports with money I didn't have. And that attitude didn't do me any favors with the police, who were a constant part of my life, whether I was arrested for drunk driving or disorderly conduct. It came to a point where I realised that if I didn't leave there, I was going to end up in jail or dead. And for reasons I didn't realise until later, I decided to move to Arizona, where my sister was living with her family.

Before I got to Arizona, I had sold both the condo and the house and I had some money when I got there, tho I had quite a few credit cards that had big balances on them that I didn't pay off with the money I got from the house. This stupid move would end up with me filing bankrupty within 2 years of getting to Arizona. Anyways, I got a furnished apartment and since I had some money, I didn't get a job and I just spent the money doing what I wanted. I continued to drink and hang out in bars and going home with women I'd meet. I stopped doing drugs as I always liked drinking better and drugs helped me to drink more.

So, in less than 2 years, I had to file for bankrupty and turned again to my dad to help me, where he ended up sending me a check to cover the bills each month but he told me I'd have to get a job or else he wouldn't help out. So I got a job and was able to make enough to be able to pay for the other things my dad's checks didn't cover. During this time I met a woman and we ended up in a relationship that would last 4 years and it was in this time that I becamed saved by Jesus.

During this relationship, my girlfriend wanted to make some changes, where drinking would be less of a focus and that going to church would be a bigger focus. It had been a lot of years since I had gone to any church other than for weddings. I balked at first as I didn't want to give up drinking and I sure didn't want to go to any church. But after one of our breakups, when we got back together, I relented and started going to church. Within a month or so, in which I started reading the Bible, I realised that I was tired of my lifestyle, I was tired of drinking, tired of the hangovers, tired of the emptiness I felt in my life and I got down on me knees and asked Jesus to save me, forgive me of my sins, and to come into my life. This was where my life changed for the better.

My girlfriend and I broke up a couple of years later and as I grew in my relationship with Jesus, I realised that that relationship didn't glorify Jesus because it was a relationship that neither of us should had persued, as the Bible describes it as adultery. I am thankful to her that she helped me to lose my anger over the death of my mom and that she introduced me to persuing a relationship with Jesus.

I've been saved for 7 years now and I can look back at my life and see where God worked in my life, like it was Him that nudged me to come to Arizona, as He knew what would happen there for me. I can also see what kind of person I was before I was saved, a depraved scumbag who enjoyed rolling around in the sleaze of the gutter, a person who despised and cussed and cursed at God, a wretched person who was worthless in my own eyes. But, in the eyes of God, I was worth something to Him, that before I knew Jesus, He had died for me, paid the price for my sins so He, and God the Father, and the Holy Spirit wouldn't have to spend eternity without me. I am forever thankful that God forgave me and saved me, and if He can forgive me, He can forgive you also, as nothing is impossible with God, no matter how unworthy you may think you are. God changes lives, and He does that by cleaning us up and setting us back on our feet, picking us up out of the gutter we put ourselves in.

Being saved doesn't mean we don't go through trials and tribulations. We go through those all the times but the difference is that being saved, Jesus is with us when we go through tough times, He takes care of us and He gets us through those times.

I met a wonderful, godly woman online 4 years ago and it was a wonderful relationship, that tho we didn't live close to each other, we were able to IM each other every night and I flew out to where she lived twice and she came out to here once. God brought us together and I'm thankful that He did. Last November, God called her home and tho I miss her terribly, I'm reassured that I'll see her again, that she knows what Jesus looks like, what heaven is like, what God the Father and the Holy Spirit look like, things we discussed numerous times.

The reason I mention this is that I know where she is and I can testify that I'll see her again, and the reason I can say this is because God promised me eternal life, if I believe in Jesus and what He did on the cross to reconcile me to Him. There is a peace, a total peace that only Christians know, a calming peace that everything is alright. If you would like to have this peace and assurance in knowing where you are going after this life, then get on your knees and ask God to forgive you of all your sins, and ask Jesus to come into your heart, to be your Lord and Savior. If you are sincere, then you'll be saved and you'll start a new relationship, a personal relationship with God, a relationship of unconditional love and grace.

The Need For Jesus

Why? Because human beings are born with an empty space in their hearts and no matter what people try to fill it with, whether it be drugs, alcohol, sexual immorality, criminal acts, lust for money or anything else that people try to patch it up with, there's only one thing that can make a heart whole, and that's with a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, who is My Lord and My God.

If you want to see lives changed for the good, see someone who's been born again, truly saved by the blood Jesus shedded on the cross. I can testify in my own life(I'll post my testimony at a later date) how it changed. Being saved doesn't mean you're instantly unable to do no wrongs. Your life is changed, but it's also a growing process as God refines the impurities in your life out as you grow in spiritual muturity. Before I was saved, I lived a life where the goals were to make money, have sex with as many women as I could, drink all I wanted, lie as a defense for any trouble or crimes I caused, do whatever drugs I wanted, with plenty more other things too long to list. I thought that was the "good" life. It didn't even come close.

The good life is a life over the last 7 years that has been slowly refined of those impurities, where my desire for drinking alcohol went away, the same for the drugs and the sexual immorality, and the desires to do the wrong things. Does that mean I don't sin? No, as I sin everyday. But the desire to sin has lessen as the Holy Spirit empowers us to resist sinning. Do I resist sins all the time? No chance. But being empowered to CHOOSE not to sin is an awesome feeling. I'm a work in progress and I'll continue to be refined until I pass from this life on earth to the eternal life that's in heaven. When the role is called up yonder, I'll be there, and that's a peaceful assurance I have being saved in Jesus Christ.
