Seeing yourself in a Mirror...

Yeah, i am a mirror addict. and i really wanted and wish to have a room having four mirrors in every corner. It's pretty nice to see your face and body in the mirror. One reason for viewing myself in the mirror was that if i go out of my room i dont wanna to have the feeling of insecurities and uncomfortable because i have not check my grooming. I want to put everything in an arrange situation. Having good looks, even you are not that beautiful.

Because of Love?

Because of love, i think i have able to do things which is against with my conscience.
Is this really love?
I think to much love is no longer be called love.
Love if defined to be kind and unselfish. You have to show love, not just to feel it.
In my life, i haven't encounter a person who truly love me the way i love him. I don't feel the love i am longing for.., or it is just me who comes to be very selfish?
Why on earth, i feel such things like this, why on earth i don't feel that i am loved and take care by other people.
It is only me who show love., but do you think it is necessary to expect from the person whom you have love?

The Bible is opposed to the the idea that God is unknowable.

by: Jigs Nep

What can be known about God is clear to them because he has made it clear to them. (Romans 1:19)
What can be known about God is clear, the Bible said. The reason for this is that God has made it clear. So, there is no reason for anybody who profess belief in God to think otherwise.
Why is it important that we possess knowledge about God? The Bible said, we need to know God to attain eternal life. Jesus said: "This is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God..." (John 17:3)
To whom does the pronoun "you" refer? Is it the Son, the Holy Spirit, or the Father.
Jesus said the only true God is the Father.
These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes and said, Father, the hour is come: glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he may give eternal life to all whom thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, to know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (John 17:1-3)
Jesus Christ was sent by the only true God, that is none other than the Father, to make known to men about the only true God, the Father. So, the concept of trinity (a word coined and interpolated by Tertulian --a man declared by the Catholic Church as heretic) that there are three persons in one God and each person that comprises this God are all God, not only can never be found in the Bible but against it as well. Since the Father is the only true God, then Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are not Gods, therefore.
Furthermore, in John 1:1 the Bible said: "...the word was God." Therefore, knowing "the word" equals knowing God. What is this word that when we knew it equivalently we know God? "...the old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning. (1 John 2:7)"
Is it enough that we know the commandments of God to say that we know God? No. The Bible said:
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; (1 John 2:4)
Therefore if your desire to know and understand God has something to do with the salvation of your soul when you die, then the Bible has stated it in no uncertain terms: The Father is the only true God and knowing Him requires that we obey His commandments.
Now, when you die you can no longer obey His commandments, neither you can know Him anymore.
For in death there is no memory of you; in the underworld who will give you praise? (Psalms 6:5)
So, when is the time to acknowledge the Father as the only true God and do all His commandments?
Whatever presents itself for you to do, do it with {all} your might, because there is no work, planning, knowledge, or skill in the grave where you're going. (Eccl 9:10)
The answer is now. Now that we are still alive.

One true God that exist

I real author behind this blogspot truly believed that there is only one God.
And this is the truth. I wonder why others, believed in two gods, and in three gods, others also believes that we are all Gods.
Why there is only one God?
The answer could be found in the holy scriptures alone, The holy scriptures or the bible is where the word of God written.
Who wrote the bible?
Revelation 10:4
And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven say, "Seal up what the seven thunders have said and do not write it down."
It was the messenger, the prophets, the apostles of God who have stand witness and author the word of God.
They don't write things in the bible as easy as they think right, they are guided by the holy spirit if they write things which was not says by God. They could have been punished.
10 but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11 For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us.
So, in the verse above no doubt God exist
Isa 42:1 See my servant, whom I am supporting, my loved one, in whom I take delight: I have put my spirit on him; he will give the knowledge of the true God to the nations/
Jn 8:41 You are doing the work of your father. They said to him, We are true sons of Abraham; we have one Father, who is God
John 17:3 And this is eternal life: to have knowledge of you, the only true God, and of him whom you have sent, even Jesus Christ.
My dear brothers and sisters i want you to take a deep reflection of this verse eventhough this verse is very easy to understand.
God is the only one God, the only true God, There is no other God beside him..Jesus Christ is the mediator of between God and men.

Are you a Roman Catholic?

Then if so? Are you familiar with your doctrine.

The following are the selected Roman Catholic Doctrine?

Teaching that Jesus is the Son of God sent to die for the sins of the world

God is a triune God, consisting of God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

In accepting Jesus and serving Him, believers are granted life eternal.

Members must accept the church as having the fullness of revelation, and according to Roman

Catholic catechism is the only Christian body that is "holy, universal and apostolic"

Apostolic succession is key in the faith, saying that the pope and bishops have varying degrees of authority from Jesus.

Penance and the Eucharist are required at least once a year

Well, my dear friend if you are going to read the bible you cannot read the work Holy Trinity there, There's such word as Pope, Purgatory etc...

Accordingly these catholic doctrines really contradicts what bible says but they are claiming to be the true Religion in the world.

(to be continued)

God anointed the son with the holy spirit

Anyone familiar of this verse? Bible Explorer God AND anointedMontgomeryNT

Ac 10:38Peter’s Speech38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how he went about everywhere doing good, and curing all who were oppressed by the devil; for God was with him."

In this statement who is God here? He was the one who anointed Jesus

Who is Jesus then? means we are talking of two identity here. God and Jesus

What is the Holy Spirit in the statement, what it's role?

It was used by God to anoint Jesus Christ. So the Holy Spirit in the statement was brought by God and was transfer to Jesus Christ his son

My dear friend., now, try to ponder the statement above.
i will quote it again "Ac 10:38Peter’s Speech38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how he went about everywhere doing good, and curing all who were oppressed by the devil; for God was with him."

The three separate subject referring to the Holy Trinity of the Catholic is too complicated to understand?

My dear Catholic friends, I would like to leave some question to you?
referring to your doctrines. , the holy trinity one...then, how will you explain the presence of the trinity in Ac 10:38...

You can post your answer on my blog., as i'm interested to learned your side and studies about this. I know there are a lot of scholars out there, hope you could give me the best explanation about the role of the trinity in the statement that God anointed his son Jesus Christ with the Holy Spirit.

The spirit, body and soul

When the Bible speaks of salvation it could refer any of two things: 1) The election of people from the dark to the light, (1 Peter 2:9)2) The freedom from the punishment in the lake of fire (Rev 20:14-15.)
[b]The Election processes:[/b]
[quote="Mark 16:15-16"]Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned.[/quote]
The first step is the preaching process. The one being saved should undergo indoctrination. The preacher is a duly commissioned minister (not self-appointed,) but Jesus chose them (John 15:16.) A preacher is a fake preacher if he is not sent (Romans 10:15) by God to preach.
Why did Jesus said that in order to be saved one must not only believe but should be baptized as well? Simply because baptism is a part of the Christian doctrine (Heb 6:2) that requires work. This work is the proof that one believes the "doctrine of baptisms." The reason why James said "I will show you my faith by my works." (James 2:18) If one disbelieves in this required work of salvation, Jesus said, he shall be condemned.
Faith shown by work (first is baptism) gives you salvation. Baptism is also the one that makes one who has undergone indoctrination free from the sense of sin before God. They are cleansed of all their sins.
[quote="1 Peter 3:21"]And baptism, of which this is an image, now gives you salvation, not by washing clean the flesh, but by making you free from the sense of sin before God, through the coming again of Jesus Christ from the dead; [/quote]
They are both sanctified and justified (past tense) at the time they were washed. The Bible did not say that sanctification is "page by page."
[quote="1 Cor 6:11"]and such were some of you: but you have been washed, you have been sanctified, you have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the spirit of our God. [/quote]
"Sin no more" (John 5:14; John 8:11) is one of Jesus commands. Paul, reminding those indoctrinated and baptized members into the Church of Christ, said:
[quote="Eph 4:17-24"]You have certainly heard his message and have been taught his ways. The truth is in Jesus. 22 [b]You were taught to change the way you were living.[/b] The person you used to be will ruin you through desires that deceive you. 23 However, you were taught to have a new attitude. 24 You were also [b]taught to become a new person created to be like God, truly righteous and holy.[/b][/quote]
This teachings of Jesus should be accomplished. They should get rid of every sin.
[quote="Eph 4:25-32"]25 So then, [b]get rid [/b]of lies. Speak the truth to each other, because we are all members of the same body. 26 Be angry [b]without sinning[/b]. Don't go to bed angry. 27 Don't give the devil any opportunity {to work}. 28 Thieves [b]must quit [/b]stealing and, instead, they must work hard. They should do something good with their hands so that they'll have something to share with those in need. 29 Don't say anything that would hurt {another person}. Instead, [b]speak only what is good [/b]so that you can give help wherever it is needed. That way, what you say will help those who hear you. 30 [b]Don't give God's Holy Spirit any reason to be upset with you.[/b] He has put his seal on you for the day you will be set free {from the world of sin}. 31 [b]Get rid [/b]of your bitterness, hot tempers, anger, loud quarreling, cursing, and hatred. 32 Be kind to each other, sympathetic, forgiving each other as God has forgiven you through Christ. [/quote]
They did not say "reduce your sinning," niether they say "slowly stop sinning." Because if they did, no one will be fully sancified at the day of judgment. No one will be truly righteous and holy, like God. Example, if you reduce your sinning to 5% each month, will it ever get to zero? No!
Jesus said "sin no more,"Paul said get rid of every sin, Peter said stop sinning.
One is already sanctified once baptized, thus if a person go back to sinning he becomes like a pig or dog.
If one continues his sinning, the Bible said the Holy Spirit will be upset. One should never fall away from Jesus' commands and teachings. Why?
[quote="Heb 6:4-6"]For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. [/quote]

[b]The salvation in the day of judgment[/b]
Now, it is required for the elect to remain holy until the end doing only what is good in order to be saved in the day of Judgment. Why? Because it is the works that will determine if one is saved or not. The function of faith ends when the reason for believing is already at hand. At the day of Judgment it is your works that will bring you to condemnation or salvation.
[quote="Rev 20:14-15"]And all were judged according to their deeds. And Death and Hades were hurled into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if any one was found who was not written in the Book of Life, he was hurled into the lake of fire.[/quote]
If one can not cease from sin, he will be cursed (2 Peter 2:14.) And cursed people will be thrown into the lake of fire (Matt 25:41-42)
What will happen to those baptized members who will remain faithful and holy (despite all the hardships in life) till the end?
[quote="Matt 24:13"]But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved. [/quote]
