Barack Obama the Antichrist? LOL!

Mark 13:32 (New International Version)

The Day and Hour Unknown

32"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

In this parable, it is even more apparent that the Master intends for the servants to be watchful—diligent, alert, taking heed to themselves—in their work and authority rather than for His return. Twice, He says that no one knows the timing of His return—not even Himself! Here, He tells us that we do not know the "day and hour," but after His resurrection He expands this unknown variable to "times or seasons" (Acts 1:6-7).

So, even though we might be able to have a rough idea when that time draws near (see Matthew 24:32-33; Luke 21:29-31), in general, it is secret and indeterminable. Our time, then, is best spent focusing on our responsibilities before God rather than being caught up in the details of how it might unfold. These things are unknowable, but even if one could correctly anticipate them, it would all be for naught if the individual is not spiritually prepared for Jesus Christ's return (see also Matthew 24:42-44).

No Conflict between Science & God

Dear friends in Christ,

This letter is not meant to offend, but to offer you guidance to the world around you, which I believe, and I do not mean to boast, but I believe God has given me answers after my search began reading the entire Bible one summer about 10 years ago.

If you are easily offended by religion, science, or anything close to this I love you greatly, but urge you not to read forth as I do not want to hurt our friendship. This being said, I have great news to share about the Kingdom of God.

2nd Corinthians 12 “Boasting is necessary, though it is not profitable; but I will go on to visions and revelations of the lord.”

I understand why Paul was talking about boasting in the Lord, for now that the Lord has spoken to me and given me great insights, I know that I must boast in Him, yet also be humble.

The Flesh Explained

Again and again the Bible talks about the flesh and the problems that come with it. It has always been confusing to me what all of this flesh talk meant, but God has also given me great knowledge that he has already laid everything out for us in the Bible, but we simply have not seen what is already there.

Matthew 11:15 “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear” - A kind of proverbial expression; requiring the deepest attention to what is spoken.

Here’s an important thing that I am going to work to change about Christianity, and that I believe is my spiritual gift. God has let me know that there is NO CONFLICT BETWEEN SCIENCE & GOD (ENERGY). But there is more than enough conflict between Science & Religion.

The Flesh: Here is what is going on. Humans are flesh and blood. Humans are primates, highly intelligent hairless apes if you will. I know it sounds dehumanizing, but we are human because of our knowledge between good and evil.

All Major Religions teach Peace

"Judaism, Christianity and Islam all teach peace. . .however, they are corrupted to fuel hatred and violence. . .(and) we are left to wonder if religion is in fact the problem or the solution."

Thus communicates Dr. Ron Kronish, rabbi and educator, and Director of the Interreligious Coordinating Council in Israel (ICCI):

What did Jesus actually teach?

Setting

When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain; and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him. He opened His mouth and began to teach them, saying...

Beatitudes

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Light of the world
You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men.
You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.
Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven
