John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible http://www.gospelcom.net/eword/comments/matthew/gill/matthew7.htm ***Matthew 7 Verse 24. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine,.... The comparison in this, and the following verses, is the concluding part of our Lord's discourses upon the mount, which are meant by these sayings, or doctrines, he here speaks of; and as he had in some foregoing verses chiefly respect to preachers, so here, to hearers, his disciples and followers in general. The subject of this comparison, in Luke 6:47 is, "whosoever cometh unto me"; as all that are given to Christ by the Father will do, sooner or later: such whom he encourages to come to him, are they that labour and are heavy laden; and they that come aright, come as poor perishing sinners; they believe in him, give up themselves to him, to be saved by him with an everlasting salvation; all which is owing to efficacious grace. These hear his sayings, as doctrines, not merely externally, but internally, having ears to hear given unto them, so as to understand them, love them, believe them, feel the power, taste the sweetness, and have a delightful relish of them; and such an one hears them, and doth them: he is not only an hearer, but a doer of the word of the Gospel; the doctrines of it he receives in the love of them, and exercises faith on them; upon Christ, his grace and righteousness held forth in them, which is the great work and business of a Christian, he is to do, and does do in this life: the ordinances of it he cheerfully obeys; and all the duties of religion he performs from love to Christ, without any view to obtain eternal life hereby, which he only expects from Christ, as his sayings and doctrines direct him. The comparison follows, I will liken him to a wise man, which built his house upon a rock. Luke says, "he is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation a rock." Every believer is a builder; the house he builds, is his own soul, and the salvation of it; in order to which he digs deep, till he comes to a rock, to a good foundation; he searches diligently into the Scriptures of truth; he constantly attends the ministry of the word; he inquires of Gospel preachers, and other saints, the way of salvation; which having found, he lays the whole stress of his salvation on the rock of ages, which rock is Christ: he makes him the foundation of all his hopes of eternal life and happiness; which is the foundation God has laid in Zion; and which has been laid ministerially by the prophets of the Old, and the apostles of the New Testament; and by believers themselves, when they build their faith and hope upon it. This foundation, the person, blood, and righteousness of Christ, is as a rock, firm and strong, will bear the whole weight that is laid upon it; it is sure and certain, it will never give way; it is immoveable and everlasting; the house built upon it stands safe and sure. |

2 Peter 2 False Teachers and Their Destruction 1But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. *** http://www.watchman.org/cat95.htm ----All you will want to know about cults and false religions go to the Watchman expositer. p.s. Try and study the original so you are not fooled by the counterfeit. The scripture is the truth and there are very good books that expound upon the Truth. Test all things in light of scripture. |

Be sure to go to www.aclj.org and sign the petitition to protect the Pledge of Alegience, which is under attack.

86 | DO NOT BE YOKED WITH UNBELIEVERS.... | 2 Cor 6:14 | Jeshuafreak | 53502 | ||
Dear Heaven- I have been where you are at minus the child. I was married to a woman who seemed to love God but in the course of marriage we ended up having a miscarriage. This pushed me closer to the Lord and pushed her away. My analysis of the situation is that neither my ex-wife or your boyfriend ever truelly walked with the Lord. They only confessed with their lips but didn't truely believe in their heart. Once you taste the truth you can never go back to swallowing the lie. If one truelly is saved they can never lose their salvation. Trust me I know first hand I tried to walk away and I knew better, but here I am struggling it out one day at a time. I know without a doubt that I am saved and that jesus Christ has me in the cnter of the palm of His hand and no one or nothing can get me out. I echo another you must get yourself and child into a healthy well balanced church. There are godly councelors there. Don't stop praying for your boyfriend's salvation. God bless you Heaven and take care.-Jeshuafreak |

Thank you Hank... I also would like to add that in calling myself a freak I take the wind out of their sails. If the best they can do is call me unsavory names than i have a long way to go to being truelly persecuted. I don't wish to be persecuted but Christ said that it is going to happen to those who serve Him. I am blessed to live in the USA for now. I see I time coming soon where this will not always be so. -Jeshuafreak |

That is ok Hank if you don't like it. You don't have to adopt the name. I am however "late harvest", I didn't grow up in the pews of a church. I grew up around drugs, sex, and alcohol, cons and bikers. I grew up striving to be different , before I became a Christian. Now how different I am. I am completely different from the old me. It makes me a freak, one who stands out in stark contrast to the backdrop in which I live. I am different for a good reason now. I have fully "come out of the closet" so to speak, and am not ashamed to tell others I am a Christian. And that makes me weird and freakish to the unregenerate. Let em laugh but I know the truth and the truth has set me free. -Jeshuafreak | ||||||

2nd Samuel 22 - I demand that you call Him Joshua!! Just kidding...but that is what we would call Him if He was growing up on our block in rural or suburban america. His name means the "the Lord is salvation"or "the Lord saves" , which is kind of funny if you think about it. When we say Jesus saves, we are being redundant. My real name is Joshua and I could call myself Jesus if I was Hispanic. Actually I saw a Spanish Bible and it had the book of Joshua spelled Josue', pronounced hoe-sway. You know it doesn't matter though as long as youo know you are talking about Jesus Christ the omnipotent eternal Apha and Omega Lord of lords King of kings forever exalted...He is exalted, the King is exalted on High and I will praise His name.... if I had no toungue in which to speak His name I would still praise His name. How bout the old testament saints that didn't know His name? They still praised His name... the One Who had no name. The one who was just a tetragram. YHWH... Someday we will speak His proper name in glory. What is truely important is the meaning behind the name. Are you a true Christian? If so who is Jesus , Y'Shua, Yeshua, Jeshua, Joshua, Josue' to you. I assure you He is God. He was and is the God-man. He is not spirit brother to Lucifer as the JW's assert. He is not anything less than who He is He is the great I AM.. Sorry bout my ramblings and I will catch you all later.- Jeshuafreak ------ P.S. Jesusfreak was taken when I adopted this name, in case yooue wondered |

93 | what to say to those who smoke weed? | Rom 13:3 | Jeshuafreak | 53406 | ||
I am an ex-pot smoker. I quit because I knew in my heart God didn't want me to smoke pot. On another note, if it hadn't been for my pot smoking Christian friends I would not have even considered becoming a Christian. Strange how God works. He causes all things, good and bad, to work together. Well I got convicted in my heart because it had become an idol to me. I couldn't go a day or two without it. I was a slave to marijuana. This was one of many things in my life that had me bound. We should all make application. We all have things that are trying to rise up as high places in our lives. Now I got the same argument with my friends saying they don't see anything wrong with it and that it is not sin. There are many places where this "herb" is not illegal. Would it be ok for me to smoke it then and there? Not for me, because God has spoken to me on this. So even if it became legal in my town I wouldn't be able to smoke it. I do however know from experience that a little puff doesn't make me out of control. I can smoke it without getting wasted. Just as I can have a drink of an alcoholic beverage w/out getting drunk. It all boils down to this . Do I have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ? Is He speaking to your heart about the areas (the crafty little foxes of compromise) in your life that are robbing you of quality time spent with Jesus. We cannot serve both masters.***** (Matthew 6 23But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! 24"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money. )**** I know the verse talks about money but alot of the Bible has application to all the areas of our lives. Just as an id ol need not be a physical golden calf we bow down to. An idol can be any of the high places we set up in our lives and those high places we burn incense to. I see incense refering to our time, talent and treasure being wasted upon these vain pursuits. Again anything that rises up above God in our lives becomes an idol. Can you live without that thing, person or experince? You will not surely die. Tear down those high places. (1 Thessalonians 1 8The Lord's message rang out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia--your faith in God has become known everywhere. Therefore we do not need to say anything about it, 9for they themselves report what kind of reception you gave us. They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, 10and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead--Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.) |

Does this mean we should all worship the same?.... no I don't believe so. There are many stlyes but only one truth. We need to get back to basics. Agree on the essentials. 1 Corinthians 1 Divisions in the Church 10I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. 11My brothers, some from Chloe's household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 12What I mean is this: One of you says, "I follow Paul"; another, "I follow Apollos"; another, "I follow Cephas[1] "; still another, "I follow Christ." 13Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into[2] the name of Paul? 14I am thankful that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15so no one can say that you were baptized into my name. 16(Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don't remember if I baptized anyone else.) ****** The Apostles' Creed I believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. [see Calvin] The third day He arose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy *catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen. |

I could not agree with you more gambling is indeed a sin. As is playing the lottery, it is sin also because it is not good stewardship of the finances that the Lord has placed in our provision. -Jeshuafreak |

Joe- Thanks again, buddy. I appreciate your advice. There is just so much out there. Kindly disregard other posting as it was dealt with over the course of these past ones.

1 Peter 3:18-20; 4:6*** The Apostles' Creed The basic creed of Reformed churches, as most familiarly known, is called the Apostles' Creed. It has received this title because of its great antiquity; it dates from very early times in the Church, a half century or so from the last writings of the New Testament. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. [see Calvin] The third day He arose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy *catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen. *The word "catholic" refers not to the Roman Catholic Church, but to the universal church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
