Romans 14:10-18 Quite a while ago, I quit having dinner with family members. In fact, just an hour ago my sister called, and wanted to have a "sandwich" with me, I declined. This post explains why. Some family members and I were talking about the horror of the multitudes of babies that die by being … Continue reading “Baby Backs” As Spiritual Obstacles

Undisputable Faith
Romans 14:1-9 Some people make it a point to debate anything related to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and are oppositional towards the Spirit of Christ. They make it their purpose to do the opposite of what I do. If I make a matter-of-fact statement, they dispute it. If I drink an ice-cold soda, they … Continue reading Undisputable Faith
Maintaining Humanness in an Artificial Society
Romans 12:9-21 Sincerity is extinct when feelings, thoughts, and behaviors can be adjusted to imitate any human sentiment possible. The internal government does that, and it operates through the mark of the beast. Love, joy, devotion, honor, zeal, hope, and hospitality can all be imitated. Artificial feelings are insincere and do not come from the … Continue reading Maintaining Humanness in an Artificial Society
Rebellion in Response to Captivity is Not so Good
Romans 13:1-7 Click for a description of the mark of the beast. I can't even imagine starting out on a trail of rebellion against the government that operates through the mark of the beast. Daily, I would be spouting off with verbal rants or physical aggression against their ungodly culture. The day that I decided … Continue reading Rebellion in Response to Captivity is Not so Good
Edward Scissorhands and the Body of Christ
Romans 12:3-8 Everyone works together as a single body from city to city. For example, I called the transportation receptionist to schedule a ride for a doctor appointment. The transportation office is strictly transportation and has no communication with medical staff. Transportation is twenty miles away from the medical facility. She tells me I will … Continue reading Edward Scissorhands and the Body of Christ
To Eat or Not to Eat
Romans 14:19-23 Often, receiving a nod of approval embraces things that I have no intention of doing. Those approvals are nowhere near to being mutually beneficial through Christ. The internal government of the mark of the beast has a lot to do with giving approval through thoughts and feelings. Then, there are those who live … Continue reading To Eat or Not to Eat
Renewing the Mind is to Know God’s Will
Romans 12:1-2 The internal government has power over thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and has set itself up as a substitute for God. Which means that living by the mark of the beast requires giving the entire human body over to it. When that is done, it is a life dedicated to opposing the Bible, the … Continue reading Renewing the Mind is to Know God’s Will
Ways Past Finding Out
Romans 11:33-36 The wisdom and knowledge of God is amazing how He brought about the need for Salvation through Jesus Christ. I'm referring to putting the Jews on the same level as everyone else then pointing to Jesus Christ as the way to God. Who has ever known the mind of God? Added to that, … Continue reading Ways Past Finding Out
The Melting Pot is the Plan
Romans 11:25-32 God's melting pot is like this; at one time the Gentiles were considered living in disobedience to God for not living by the law of the Old Testament. When Jesus Christ came, they received mercy from God because the Jews didn't want Him. Now, the Jewish people are the disobedient ones for their … Continue reading The Melting Pot is the Plan
My Relationship to Israel
Romans 11:17-24 My relationship to Israel is tightly intertwined, as is anyone who accepts Israel's God through Jesus Christ. He will always be referred to as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, which is saying He is the God of all those who come to Him through Jesus. I always look at the Jewish … Continue reading My Relationship to Israel
