Hello L4W2H, Thats the whole point! you cant! No-one can! None are good, no, not one! You can't keep the first commandment, never mind the rest of them! You see my friend every religion in the world is based on works, i.e. what you do to get yourself fixed up, so you can measure up, to God. problem is, you cant measure up to an all holly God. Compared to Jesus, the only one who ever lived a life as a man, and lived it without sin, anything that we can do is like filthy rags! Compared to Jesus there is no way we can stack up! If you think you can stand before God, with a handful of good works, and say look here God, Look what I did! pretty good, huh? Do you want to risk that my friend? Not me! Jesus Himself says in John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. Sounds pretty good huh? Do want Jesus? He's asking you? Do you? Why don't you quit messing around and take Him at His word my friend? He is not a lier, He is not crazy, He's real, and I 'know' He's real, and so do untold myriad of people throughout the ages. Huh? What are you looking for? How are you going to know how something tastes, unless you eat it? Christianity is not a religion, its a way to life! God bless. John |

Hello dltlshine, Looks like Cheri has given a good answer, I'd say amen. I'd just like to expound a little. I don't know how much of this you know so pleas be patient, I'm kinda feeble. Anyway I'd like to first lay a little foundation. I want to talk first about crowns if you please. Lets look at these verses please, and take note of the crowns. 2 Tim 4:8 in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing. James 1:12 Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 1 Pet 5:4 And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. ok notice the reference too about receiving the crowns after trials and approval. Now lets look at the church at Sardis and in Philadelphia. Notice how God shows disapproval for the church's in general, but finds a loyal remnant? And also, note the white garments in the next verses. Rev 3:4 'But you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their garments; and they will walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. Rev 3:5 'He who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. Rev 3:7 "And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: He who is holy, who is true, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says this: Rev 3:8 'I know your deeds. Behold, I have put before you an open door which no one can shut, because you have a little power, and have kept My word, and have not denied My name. Rev 3:9 'Behold, I will cause those of the synagogue of Satan, who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie--I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and make them know that I have loved you. Now look what God is saying here about what is about to happen. Rev 3:10 'Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth Rev 3:11 'I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your crown. ok, Here is were an important change is happening, things have really changed. Rev 3:14 "To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God, says this: 15 'I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. 16 'So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth. oh-oh, big trouble. God is not pleased with the church at Philadelphia. but notice how He still asks them to let Him in He's a Graceful and merciful God thru to the end. Rev 3:20 'Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. Now in the next verses we see what looks like the rapture. Rev 4:1 After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven, and the first voice which I had heard, like the sound of a trumpet speaking with me, said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things." see how it refers to the next verses? And notice the the voice that sounds like a trumpet? 1 Thess 4:16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. So John is caught up if you please, in what looks like the rapture, right? But, look what is already wating there. Rev 4:2 Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne was standing in heaven, and One sitting on the throne. Rev 4:4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones; and upon the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and golden crowns on their heads. See, the church is already there. "clothed in white garments, and golden crowns on their heads." So it looks like the Church is raptured/caught up, in chapter 3 somewere betwen v11 and v14 God bless.

Hi satnj, There is evidence of at least one catastrophe of some kind before man came on the seen. But what good is that info? How will that help us to know God? If He wanted us to know that, for sure, He would have told us. This is what He does tell us. the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day. Then God said, "Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters." God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were below the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so. God called the expanse heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day. Then God said, "Let the waters below the heavens be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear"; and it was so. God called the dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters He called seas; and God saw that it was good. Then God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit after their kind with seed in them"; and it was so. The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them, after their kind; and God saw that it was good. There was evening and there was morning, a third day. Then God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth"; and it was so. God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also. God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to govern the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good. There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day. Then God said, "Let the waters teem with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the heavens." God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind; and God saw that it was good. God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth." There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day. Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after their kind"; and it was so. God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good. Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. God blessed them; and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth." Then God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to every thing that moves on the earth which has life, I have given every green plant for food"; and it was so. God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. God bless. John |
