Thoughts and Considerations

                           THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD INDEX: -  WHY IS THE RESURRECTION SO IMPORTANT? -  GOD'S INTENT FOR  JUSTICE -  WHAT ABOUT THE RESURRECTION OF THE UNJUST?  -  CONCLUSION “ Jesus said unto her, ‘I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE, he that believes in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?’” John 11:25-26 “ …that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.” Acts 24:15 “For I know that my Redeemer lives, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth; and though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God, Whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another, though my reins be consumed within me.” Job 19:25-26 "Behold, I show you a my...

                                               What is Hell Like?  INDEX: - HELL IN THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS  -  HELL AND THE LAKE OF FIRE - WHAT ABOUT THE DESCRIPITON THAT JESUS MADE OF HELL/SHEOL IN LUKE 16? - WHERE DID THE RIGHTEOUS GO BEFORE JESUS' SACRIFICE?  - HELL IS A PLACE OF...  - IN CONCLUSION, THIS WE KNOW FOR SURE HELL IN THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS    The topic of Hell is predominately a revelation of the New Testament. In the Old Testament it is referred to as Sheol, or the abode of the dead; however, in the New Testament Jesus made regular references to hell and actually spoke more of it than any another person. In the Old Testament, the focus was mainly on the nation of Israel and God’s dealing with His peo...

                                            What is Heaven Like    Since I have never been there, the best anyone can do is derive our very poor and obscure perspective from what we can glean from the Bible and what God has revealed about Himself. That alone is an amazing and exciting journey. “But as it is written,’ Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love Him.’” 1 Corinthians 2:9 “And he said unto Jesus, ‘Lord, remember me when You come into Your Kingdom.’ And Jesus said unto him, ‘Verily I say unto you, today you shall be with me in Paradise. ’” Luke 23:42-43  Before you proceed I would like to venture to say that what I have written here, doubtlessly, is ...

                                                  What is Abortion?        We often make judgments by our intentions and not our actions. The end does not always justify the means, and especially before God. Is Abortion a Right? Is Abortion a Choice? What is the Controversy - Are you taking the life of an innocent human being? What is that called in legal and Biblical terms? Some of the reasons for abortions: unwanted baby (especially in the case of rape), unhealthy baby, endangered mother, unsafe conditions for either or both, inability to care for a baby,   population control… Upon scrutinizing these reasons, some may seem valid and even critical. What is the controversy? Is there a vali...

                                    A Young  Soldier’s Letter to God   My father, a WW2 vet, gave me this when I was young (I added some punctuation). The following words were found scribbled on a piece of paper in the pocket of a young soldier…when his body was discovered on a deserted battlefield somewhere in France.  Look, God, I have never spoken to You, but now I want to say, “How do You do?” You see, God, they told me You didn’t exist, and like a fool, I believed all this. Last night from a shell hole I saw Your sky and figured right then they told me a lie. Had I taken time to see the things You made, I’d have known they weren’t calling a spade a spade. I wonder, God, if You’d shake my hand: Somehow I feel that You’ll understand. Funny I had to come to this hellish place before I had time to see Your face.   Well, I guess there isn’t much more to say but I’m...

                                                         Part 2                                                    SEXUAL SIN INDEX: - GOD'S DESIGN - GOD'S BOUNDARY  -  FORNICATION - ADULTERY - INCEST, HOMOSEXUALITY, TRANSGENDER,... -  CONCLUSION     This is a delicate issue on many levels, but critical on each nonetheless. GOD'S DESIGN The first command or instruction that God gave people when He created us was to, “ …be fruitf...
