Give God your all (live true faith):

As the world dives deeper and deeper into self-absorption, seek your
path from the strength and security of the living God. Learn of Him and
His ways, and why they are that way. It's not by accident. God has a
real plan that is coming to fruition. Be part of the victory by
placing your faith in Jesus Christ, and then into motion.

Give God your all. Turn your faith into action. Speak the words
of life (His words), and watch God grow in those around you, for
Jesus is life (the very wellspring of it).

Jesus loves you. He wants to forgive your sin and give you eternal
life. Receive His free gift and enter into a new phase of your life,
one you never thought possible. God makes it possible for you.

teach them right ways even if they possibly refused to hear it?
Or just enough to say, "How are you?" "I'm fine." "Oh good. Good."

?

If you don't have any sin, then this message isn't for you. But I do have
sin. I need to be forgiven. I have found the One with the love, power,
and authority to forgive, and I do care enough to teach the way to Him
so that other sinners who acknowledge their sin can also be saved.

What Jesus offers ... is exactly what all people need: love and
forgiveness. All we have to do is receive it to possess it.

It's a message of hope fulfilled, Tom.

I am sorry for the pain you both went through. And the pain which
lingers. That pain came into being because of sin, not God. God
has made a way out for all of us, so there will be no more pain,
no more death.

The girl you mention is there with Him now forever. It is a
far, far better place than here. And He wants to forgive your sin
so you can also be with Him in that place, and with her, because
He loves you too. But if you don't ask for forgiveness, He will
be forced to judge you because it is what sin demands.

Do you have sin? If yes, you need a savior. And He is that savior.
Call upon His name, and you will see her again with much

Tom Gardner, sin exists because of man listening to a liar (Satan).
By listening to him, and disobeying God, sin entered in to the world.
The Bible records that the whole of creation groans because of sin,
which is why God is putting it away in a locked place of no escape
forever (Hell).

Sin exists, and manifests itself in many ways here upon the Earth,
and in our flesh including physical deformities and disease. But
that is nothing compared to what sin does to our soul.

Our lives here in this world are all temporary. Everybody dies at
some point. But we are not mortal only. Our bodies die here, but
we continue on. We are given a new body, and we appear before
God to give an accounting of our lives. Those like the young girl
will be forgiven because of their youthful innocence. But those
who are older will be held accountable for their sin. And because
sin is falseness, lies, wrongness, and because all of that is completely
incompatible with a universe created on truth, because God is truth,
sin is judged and put away forever.

That is the truly harmful part to our existence. While we do struggle
and sometimes suffer here in this world, it is only temporary, and
it is only because of sin. And when we acknowledge that fact,
and set our sights on eternity rather than this temporal existence,
then we begin to see the amazing gift God has given us, in that
while we were yet guilty of sin, still God is willing to forgive
us, and restore us to eternal life.

Things were never intended to be as we have them today. God
created everything, breathed life into it giving everybody the
ability to make their own choices, and also guidance on how to
do it right. The enemy of God, Satan, rebelled, and went to deceive.
He did so, and man fell. Because of that fall we died spiritually.
We still have our bodies, but no eternal life as we are all under
judgment for sin. But Jesus was manifested to take our sin away
and undo the work of the devil. But there is an appointed time for
the return of Jesus Christ. He is waiting because there are still souls
that will come to believe and be saved. But sometime soon,
that period of Grace will end and Jesus will pour out His wrath upon
this Earth, upon sin. He will setup a millennial Kingdom where
things are restored to the way He originally intended. No death.
No pain. The wolf will lie down with the lamb. A 100yr old will
be as a child, etc.

And life eternal beyond that in the paradise of God.

What we endure here is for a time. It is significant to us because
it's all we know, but it is nothing compared to eternity. And while
we go through a lot, when we focus our lives on Him while here in
this world, He is with us, protecting us, watching over us, though we
still live here in the fallen, fractured, sinful world for a time. The
presence of His Holy Spirit protects us, and assures us of His
future with us forever.

Sin is heinous. It is a cancer that can't have anything done to
stop it, but it must only be completely excised. That's what Hell
is. And the Earthly damage from sin's presence remains with us.
But on the other side, for the forgiven believer, all is restored and
made right for all eternity.

Best regards,
Rick C. Hodgin
 
As most people agreed when we crossed pens before, your
writings are personally *extremely* hurtful - and therefore
offensive to me.

Hint: your "saviour" chose to slowly torture a delightful
5 year old girl for 4.5 years, before eventually letting
her die. And you *dare* to make a comment about caring?!
Clearly everybody around her cared far more than your god.
If a person did what your god did, then they would be put
in jail and the key thrown away.

And, of course, your comments are off topic. Take them
somewhere else.

I answered your questions. But I caution you, demanding that
God come to you, on your terms, is casting God into your own
mould, and it prevents you from going to Him.

God is found by each of us once we reach the end of ourselves.
He begins in our lives where we end.

Please give examples of sins that would justify such vile
torture before killing? Bear in mind that she was a normal
delightful happy 5yo at the beginning.

Thereafter consider the case where that happens to a 1 day old
infant, because it /does/ in other cases. What could possibly
justify that?

(I'm presuming you aren't asserting that she was tortured and
killed because of /other/ people's sins)

That's a shame because you misunderstood and your arrogance and pride in
your own beliefs will damn you.

It was Adam and Eve who listened to Satan, not the 1 day old. When Adam
and Eve listened to Satan, sin entered into the world because by listening
to Satan they disobeyed God. That's what sin is.

We have since inherited that fallen-in-sin state. Our bodies grow old
and die, are subject to disease, we know good and evil, we are spiritually
dead (which is why we must be born again to be saved).

It's not the fault of the 1 day old, but the existence of original sin.
But God does not simply abandon people due to the things that happen here
to us in our flesh. He saves those who seek Him, seek the truth, and He
saves all children because they are innocent before Him.

Too bad, Tom. You missed it only because you wouldn't hear it.

Best regards,
Rick C. Hodgin
 
Tom, the general Christian understanding of sin is very different
to the general public's understanding of it, as Rick alluded to
in his rant about Adam and Eve.

It's not about a person doing a bad thing and being punished for
it, but mankind "falling from grace" and declaring autonomy from
God (eating the apple is seen as a rejection of God's command -
"I can do what I want").

As insane as Rick is, he's not saying that the girl did something
bad to deserve what happened to her - he's instead stating that
the reason that death and disease exist is because mankind tries
to live a life without a perfect relationship with God. He
believes that if we all came to accept Christ, that what happened
to your girl would never happen again.

(I don't believe in all the God stuff, but got into Christian
apologetics in uni.)

That's indistinguishable from the day-old infant being
tortured and killed because of what /other/ people did.

That's vile and reprehensible, and I want no part of it.

Consider it this way: You come to me and say, "Rick, I'd like to have my
son's birthday party in your back yard because you have a pool and a nice
play area that I don't have in my yard."

I agree, under the following condition: Don't go into the mini-barn.

If you, your child, or one of the guests goes into the mini-barn, did
I create that transgression? Did I bring into existence the transgression?

God created all of creation and gave it to man and gave man one rule:
Don't eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. When man went
there and ate from that tree, was that God creating sin?

> Was God powerful enough to see the consequence of sin on his subjects?

Yes.

http://biblehub.com/kjv/1_peter/1-20.htm
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish
and without spot:
20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but
was manifest in these last times for you,

God is not interested in condemning man. Hell was never created for man.
It was created for the devil and his angels. But because man has sinned,
and increased in pomp and arrogance, Hell has enlarged itself to make
room for all who will follow after Satan instead of God, which is to say
follow after falseness and deception instead of truth and righteousness:

http://biblehub.com/kjv/matthew/25-41.htm
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me,
ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his
angels:

http://biblehub.com/kjv/isaiah/5-14.htm
14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without
measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and
he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

But God will receive everyone who repents, who comes to Him and asks His
blood to cover their sins:

http://www.libsf.org/misc/love.html

Didn't God make the devil? Why did one angel fall, and the others not?
We are told it could not be through luck or fate, so it must have been
anticipated along with other less savory aspect of his powers on us poor
mortals.

Perhaps this is not the best forum to discuss your God.
Click to expand...

He is my God, but He is also the God of all of us whether we acknowledge
Him or not. It's why I teach about Him, because each of us _IS_ going
to give an account to Him about our lives. All those who are not forgiven
by Jesus Christ will enter into Hell forever. And that means something.
But all who are forgiven will be saved, and will not enter into Hell, but
will enter into the Kingdom of God where they will be with with God in
Heaven (paradise) forever.

It's important. It's more important than other things. It's more
important than if you have clothing or not. It's more important than if
you have food to eat, water to drink, or even air to breath.

None of us are promised tomorrow, but God has told us in advance that
unless we repent, ask forgiveness, and be born again in so doing, we will
not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

It's why I teach, and it's why the enemy tries so very hard to silence
this teaching ... because it's real, and it means something to men's
eternal souls, which are more valuable than the most precious gold there
could ever be. Orders of magnitude more valuable, for Jesus did not die
to save one thing on this Earth, but He only died to save man. Even the
angels who fell are all condemned. They have no escape whatsoever. Their
fate is eternally sealed with no possibility of redemption. But for us it
is not like that. For us, He loved us enough to make a way out.

The enemy is in the church and has most Christians fooled into believing
"it's not that big of a deal. We don't need to live holy lives. We don't
need to teach others, or to point to Jesus Christ as the source of all
things we possess, including our very lives, attributes, abilities, and
opportunities. It's enough to just skate through life and go to church
on Sunday, and maybe Bible study on Wednesday, and that'll be fine."

Jesus has a higher calling for Christians:

http://biblehub.com/kjv/hebrews/12-14.htm
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall
see the Lord:

Peace and holiness as an ongoing lifestyle. Not fighting. Not railing.
No drunkenness. No promiscuity. But a life lived in active pursuit of
God:

http://biblehub.com/kjv/1_corinthians/6-9.htm
http://biblehub.com/kjv/1_corinthians/6-10.htm
http://biblehub.com/kjv/1_corinthians/6-11.htm
http://biblehub.com/kjv/1_corinthians/6-15.htm
http://biblehub.com/kjv/1_corinthians/6-18.htm

9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of
God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor
adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor
extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified,
but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit
of our God.
15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then
take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot?
God forbid.
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body;
but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

And a warning from Jesus to the religious, and not those who had an
active relationship with God:

http://biblehub.com/kjv/matthew/7-22.htm
http://biblehub.com/kjv/matthew/7-23.htm
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied
in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name
done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me,
ye that work iniquity.

It is more important than other things. It is only the lying devil who is
lying to us when he teaches us that it's not so important to be the #1 thing
in our lives. He teaches that because he's a liar and the father of lies.

The truth is none of us are promised tomorrow, and it is our ETERNAL SOUL
that's at stake. We owe it to ourselves, our families, our loved ones,
our friends, our co-workers, etc., to raise our voice and warn them of the
coming judgment for sin, and the one and only way out of that judgment,
which is to have Jesus Christ forgive your sin, and transfer them from you
to Him, so that His death on the cross covers your sin, and you don't have
to pay the price for that sin before a Holy, Holy, Holy God who judges in
total and complete righteousness all transgressions, as an upright judge
would do in a proper court of law. No bribes. No trickery. No deception.
If you're guilty, you go to prison. If you're innocent, you're set free.
And all are guilty because no man can keep the law of God, which is why
we need a savior, which is why He gave us one before the foundation of the
world.

Rick C. Hodgin

God created him, and made him perfect on the day of his creation (perfect
in this context meaning complete, fully formed, he didn't have to go to
school to learn anything, or to the local gym to practice any physical
thing):

http://biblehub.com/kjv/isaiah/14.htm

12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how
art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will
exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount
of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most
High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

Lucifer mean "light bearer." He was created as the highest angel, the
most beautiful, the most capable, the one with closest access to God. He
was made in all ways perfect, and He was created to bear the light of God
before all of creation, hence his name.

But Lucifer, as he stood in front of all of creation, seeing all of the
angels peering at his beauty and glory, decided within his own heart that
he was not content to be in his role, and instead he wanted to be the Most
High God.

As such, he began to formulate ways to attack God and de-throne Him. It's
the same thing he does today, because he's simply evil. He knows his time
is short (Revelation 12:12), and he is angry because he's about to be cast
into Hell forever. And he wants to take as many of us with him as he can.

But God pours out grace unreservedly. All who will come to Him will be
saved from that deception. The rest who will not, all of them will suffer
the same fate as Satan, and all of Satan's fallen angels (Satan is now
called Satan, as that word means "accuser," and day and night Satan stands
before God accusing each and every one of us of every transgression of His
law we commit (Revelation 12:10)).

http://biblehub.com/kjv/revelation/12.htm

The description of Lucifer's beauty:

http://biblehub.com/kjv/ezekiel/28-13.htm
http://biblehub.com/kjv/ezekiel/28-14.htm
http://biblehub.com/kjv/ezekiel/28-15.htm

13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was
thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the
onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle,
and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared
in thee in the day that thou wast created.
14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so:
thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and
down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created,
till iniquity was found in thee.

He literally had something like flexible stones woven into his body. I've
often wondered if all of the angels are like that in some way, which is
why those who become super-stars begin wearing clothes that have those
same type of stones on them, so as to indicate they are people with evil
spirits living inside of them, trying in some way to reclaim their former
appearance, as they stand before thousands or tens of thousands or more
of "adoring fans" giving them praise:

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eMGQ0Czbtto/UQBTvyoOJII/AAAAAAAAZUE/_4q4SNiNs1Q/s1600/Spark12.JPG

It makes sense with the Ezekiel explanation, and the Isaiah 14 explanation
as to why Lucifer fell, and all the angels with him.

It's why Jesus sends His faithful out into all the world, because He knows
people in their sin condition won't generally go to a church, or go and
talk to a minister or Christian. He sends us out so that those who would
not ordinarily be reached hear the word of God, some of them will believe.
He sends us out because He loves them, and He knows our labor is not in
vain.

It is for those who will hear that we labor, not for those who won't.

Best regards,
