The Problem

Photo by Tiffany Renee Phillips
Sin (defined by the Ten Commandments in God's Word [=the Bible])
God’s standards are so holy and high that none of us could pass judgment without being condemned to death (read my blog post titled "Good Friday" in March 2008). "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23 How? Look at the Ten Commandments and see how you, yourself personally, measure up. Read Exodus 20:1-17 in the Bible (NIV(New International Version) is an easy version to read) Deuteronomy 5:6-21
1. Have no other god before Me Deut. 5:7 (Jesus Christ is the only way to God John 14:6)
2. Do not worship any idols. Deut. 5:8
3. Do not take the Lords name in vain Deut 5:11(Jesus Christ as a "four-letter word)
4. Keep My Sabbath Holy Deut. 5:12
5. Honor your father and mother Deut. 5:16 (who is my mother, brother Mark 3:33, Matthew 10:34-37)
6. Do not murder. Deut. 5:17 (Jesus says if you have hate in your heart towards anyone you have murdered Matthew 5:21-22) murderers have part in the lake of fire
7. Do not commit adultery (Jesus said if any [hu]man lusts after [someone] in their heart [mind] then they have committed adultery Matthew 5:27-28)
8. Do not steal [this includes "petty" items, i.e. pens, pencils] (all thieves have part in lake of fire Revelation 21:8)
9. Do not lie (all liars have their part in the lake of fire Revelation 21:8)
10. Do not covet (desire to have others items without your own gain; perverse jealousy Deut. 5:21)
If you say you haven't broken any, you're deceived, and you just lied breaking the 9th. Still not convinced? Take the "good person" quiz @ http://www.wayofthemaster.com/goodperson.shtml and see how you line up in the light of God's standards (not human, not our own). If you desire to be set free from God's wrath in the life to come you must make Jesus the Lord of your life here on earth. This is His standard, His way. He says "I am the way, the truth, and the life and no one comes to the Father except by Me." John 14:6 But the good news is He's paid the price for our sins, so instead of death we may have life, thru His Son Jesus Christ. If you desire to escape the wrath to come, then pray the prayer below to Jesus Christ and read the Bible daily and get in a church based on the Bible alone as it's standard.

What to avoid: Lake of Fire

... CAUTION: children/minors: it is highly recommended that you get parental supervision/permission before pressing play

What to gain: Redemption for your soul through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord over your life!

The Solution

A relationship with Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior:
If you'd like Him to save you from His wrath to come then here is an example of how to pray when rendering your heart humbly before Him:
Example of sinners prayer: (wording isn't as important as a sorrowful heart to God) this is just an example, but you must do three things 1. admit your sins to God and ask Him to forgive you for them 2. ask Him to become Lord of your life 3. pray in the name of Jesus "Dear Jesus, I do not know you, I have no power to make things right in my life on my own. I have sinned (name them specifically to God if you can-->He already knows each one of them) please forgive me. I ask you to become the Lord of my life. Teach me how to follow you. In Jesus name amen."

Choose Life . . .

... CAUTION: children/minors: it is highly recommended that you get parental supervision/permission before pressing play

Jesus Christ is faithful to deliver us from all forms of death: Lust, mammon, alcohol, eating disorders, suicide, depression, even drug addictions. God can replace all forms of destruction with life if we call on Jesus alone. If you're in need, know God and his followers truly love you and desire to see you walk in His abundant life and be free from all chains of bondage that seek to destroy you and your life. Get Christian counseling and in a safe church based on the Bible alone as it's standard, don't remain isolated, stay connected at all costs, make Him the Lord of your life and ask Him to forgive your every sin then let Him and those who know Him guide you to and thru the deliverance you need.

Psalms107:20 "He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions."

River of Forgiveness

Any body of water is renewed and refreshed, cleansed so to speak, continuously, that is how our lives can be lived and experienced with a relationship with Jesus Christ when we repent and seek forgiveness with a sincere heart. It can be this way with others in our lives as well and should be this way especially within the precious body of Christ. If "all we need is love", Jesus is the source, the one and only source (according to Him-John 14:6) So invite Him into your life if you haven't already done so and if you have: accept, give and recieve the one true source of peace, His forgiveness thru His Holy Spirit. With love, Tiffany *Seekers and Skeptics alike: please read the blog entries "A life worth Celebrating" & "Good Friday" March 2008

Christian(s):
God wants unity in the body of Christ for many purposes, coming against false teachings/doctrines is one of them:

Colossians 2:2 "that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of the understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ."

Colossians 2:4 "Now this I say lest anyone should deceive you with persuasive words."

Christians be aware: "That we from now on be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;" Ephesians 4:14 "Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil." Ephesians 5:15-16
