There is much debate between Christians and Jews about how to get to Heaven. Jews believe that all who obey a set of moral laws deserve a place in Heaven. These laws apply to all people, not just Jews. Even in the Bible God states several times there is one law for all peoples. Here are a couple of examples: Deuteronomy 31:12: Gather everyone- men, women, children, and the foreigners who live among you, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the Lord your God, and observe to do all the words of this law.
Leviticus 18:26: But all of you must keep my rules and my regulations. You must not do any of these detestable things, neither citizen nor immigrant who lives with you.

Christians, on the other hand, believe that faith in Jesus is the only path to Heaven. But you may wonder about why Christians are quick to state aspects of God's law for different areas in life. Most of the laws Christians are stating are only found in the Old Testament.

Example:
In recent history, and still a topic of concern, is the homosexual agenda. Why are Christians so concerned? The law comes from Leviticus 20:13: If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
This law is clear, homosexuality is wrong. Jesus did not come to destroy the law, and because of this Christians still prefer to uphold God's law as stated in the Old Testament.

The New Testament begins with the coming of Jesus, covers His life and ministry, and His death and resurrection. It is true the New Testament does say the law does not get you into Heaven. The Old Testament did state following God's laws is good for long life.

Deuteronomy 6:1-2: "These are the commands, decrees, and regulations that the LORD your God commanded me to teach you. You must obey them in the land you are about to enter and occupy, and you and your children and grandchildren must fear the LORD your God as long as you live. If you obey all his decrees and commands, you will enjoy a long life.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

So then who is correct? The answer is right there in the Bible. Living by the law does not get you into Heaven, nor does accepting Jesus gives you permission to go out and commit crimes in this life. God's law is for all people world wide to live by in this life, and the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the way into Heaven.

God's laws are for our good, to bring long life. Many people think we don't need to follow God's laws simply because they are first listed, and mostly listed, in the Old Testament. But this is wrong. If we follow God's laws, we do what is right in God's eyes.

Keep his decrees and commands, which I am giving you today, so that it may go well with you and your children after you and that you may live long in the land the LORD your God gives you for all time.
Deuteronomy 4:40, NIV

When George Washington was inaugurated as America's first president, his inaugural address included these words: . . . the [favorable] smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained.


That sounds suspiciously like what Moses told the people of Israel as they prepared to enter the Promised Land. He reminded them that God's laws, God's eternal rules of order and right would be the foundation of the long life they were promised in that land. Live by God's words and you will live long. Ignore God's words and you will not. America was founded on God's words and applied them, and America was prosperous. In our time, many Americans have been pushing God out of America and abandoning God's laws, now this is a strugling  nation. Just look at the economy, our constant involvement in wars, even when the president threatened Isarel in 2011, god sent and earthquakes and storms against Washington D.C.

We need to apply the law the way George Washington did. God's principles of order and right cannot be ignored individually or nationally. National survival and revival depend on individuals ordering their lives according to God's Word.

Let that revival begin with you. Order your life today according to God's revealed Word and will.

I choose to follow God's laws. Do you?

Muslim terrorism: it is real. terrorism is normally thought of as physical violence, but they employ other methods. Internet is just one tool they use. Today I received a new threat against my life for a Muslim simply because I am a Christian.

Being a Christian means following the teachings of Jesus and employing them in my life. Jesus commanded us to 'love one another.'

The threat today is: Seriously people like you deserve to die , you are bringing terrorism to yourself due to the anger that you have against other religions

Simply because I am a Christian. According the the Muslim Qu'ran, it ia good to kill Christians and Jew, and lie. So when someone argues with you about the Qu'ran, ask yourself if you know what they are saying is true or a lie. If they a re a Muslim, then you can be certain they are lying to you.

God command us to tell the truth, and Jesus further supported such commands. So a Christian is not allowed to lie.

Who then would you believe?

I believe in Jesus! Jesus is Lord!

Today I read a news report about a Kentucky school district that has banned Christmas. They were doing so because of a supposed federal law. They further went on to say that Christmas is about giving and receiving gifts.

This is all wrong. Christmas is a holiday for Christian. Christmas is the celebration of the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who came into the world to take away the sins of the world, and provide forgiveness of sins.

Many references in the old testament refer to Jesus' coming and the purpose. When the decibels met Jesus after the resurrection, they did not know him until Jesus opened their minds and showed them how the old testament had many references to Jesus' coming. Luke 24:45: Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,

In America today, there is a growing movement to remove God and Jesus. This act by the Kentucky schools is just another attack on Christmas and Christians alike. Don't allow anyone to take away Christmas. This is a celebration of the birth of Christ Jesus.

Keep Christ Jesus in Christmas.

Merry Christmas!

Today a customer got to talking with me. She was about 20 years old and talked about letting terrorists into America. She insisted that Muslims and Christians are the same. I refuted her and asked her if she had read the Qu'ran. She said she has and has a copy. I asked if she knows that the goal of Muslims is to kill because it is written in the Qu'ran.

Qu'ran 8:39: And fight with them until there is no more unbelief and religion should be only of Allah.

Quran 4:104: And be not weak hearted in pursuit of the enemy.

Quran 8:67: It is not for a Prophet (Muslim) that he should have prisoners of war until he had made a great slaughter in the land.

Qu'ran 9:73: O Prophet strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them.

Qu'ran 33:60-62: If the hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease, and the alarmists in the city do not cease, we very shall urge thee on against them, then they will be your neighbors in it but for a little while. Accursed, they will be seized wherever found and slain with a fierce slaughter.
(This passage sanctions the slaughter against three groups: Hypocrites- Muslims who refuse to fight and don't act as Muslims should Qu'ran 3:167, those with diseased hearts namely Jews and Christians Qu'ran 5:51-52 , and alarmists who include those who speak out against Islam according to Muhammad. It is worth noting that the victims are to be sought out by Muslims, which is what today's terrorists do. If this passage is meant merely to apply to the city of Medina it is unclear why it is included in Allah's eternal word to Muslim generations.

In fact there are hundreds of verses in the Qu'ran saying things like these few noted verses, directing all Muslims to kill. Killing is an act of hate.

She said she had read the Qu'ran and is aware of it's instructions to kill people world wide. Further she told me she thinks its good to bring those people here to kill us. Despite having stated to her her errors (concerning Christians and Muslims), she was thoroughly convinced Islam and killing Americans is good.

How can we protect America when our own people think it is good to bring the terrorists here to kill us.?

Christians and Muslims are vastly different. Christians believe in Jesus, the son of God, and follow His teachings, both old and new testaments. There are many historical and Biblical accounts where God verbally told the people Jesus is His son. Jesus said "A new commandment I give unto you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you. that you also love one another." John 13:34. There is no option to hate for a Christian.

Muslims claim Jesus was just another man, sinful like you and I, and cannot be the son of God.

For years, many officials and ministers have warned about the dangers of not teaching children truth and letting in the enemy into our country. However, Obama wants to bring in millions of terrorists, and many Americans are in support of this.

When I asked her about the recent terrorist attack in California, she avoided the question.

Keep in mind: Ecclesiastes 12:13-14: The conclusion, when all had been heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person. For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether is it good or evil.

Recently a fellow employee said America's Muslim President, Barak Obama, is a Christian. He could not be farther from the truth. in one of Obama's speeches in recent years, he confessed to being a Muslim and tried to say everyone is a Muslim.

Jesus Christ said people will know we are Christians by our love. John 13:34-35: "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

A Christian knows another Christian by this. Obama speaks out against Christians and Jews, but speaks in support for Muslims. Obama does not consider himself a Christian and neither should anyone else.

Christianity is not a religion; it's a life-transforming relationship with Christ. Religion represents our efforts to find God; Christianity is God's effort to seek and to save us.

Despite your denomination, Christians can be found in many different Churches, The only thing is they have to be a God centered church. If the church does not worship the one and only God and His son Jesus Christ, then you can be certain it is not a Christian church. There are many people out there who want you to believe there are other ways to God. This is simply not true. Jesus is the ONLY way to God.

Christians today need God's strength. We get this strength from other Christians and the Bible. However, many Christians do not know what is in the Bible.

As I have mentioned, I read the Bible and compare the different versions. If you are not aware, there are many Bibles out there Christians are using as the true word of God. Comparing these Bibles, I have found three versions that are truly word for word translations. KJV is the first and most used. ESV and NASB are the more modern English versions being word for word.

Because of man's sinful nature, the word of God is offensive. People like to live in sin, and hate the Bible. There are versions of the Bible that diminish the magnifanice of God, and those that change the word of God to conform to man's desires.

When Christians are not firmly founded in the word of God, Christians conform to the sinful culture. Many of my Christian friends are confirming to the sin culture. They support things that are evil in God's eyes. Supporting sinful things, even if you are not participating in such sin, is still sin. If you are having problems in life, and I know my friends have major issues, and God seems to be ignoring you, then examine your life. Ask yourself what in your life is evil in God's eyes. If you have not read the Bible all the way through, then read it.

One problem many Christians face is just knowing that Jesus saves, but then they don't know how to live their lives. Many times in the Bible, God says following my laws will prosper you. Just being saved is not going to bring you a prosperous life. Knowing and following God's laws will. Supporting something that is sin according to God's law is going to bring you trials. God uses trials in our lives to correct our behaviors and our ways. God wants us to be more like Jesus.

Jesus said He came not to destroy the law, but to fulfill. Many Christians think if it is not in the New Testament then it does not apply to them. But the laws in the Old Testament are still relivent today as they were when they were written long ago. It is true we don't sacrifice animals since Jesus is the final sacrifice. However, we all need to strive to follow the law of God.

remember, only those who love sin will find the Bible offensive.
