YHWH-Jireh יְהוָה יִרְאֶה. (The Lord Will Provide)
Genesis 22:13-14 (NIV):
Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son. So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide (YHWH-Jireh) . And to this day it is said, "On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided."
As God provided for Abraham a sacrifice so he provides for us a sacrifice in the person of Jesus Christ.
Around the year 2100 BC and 1900 BC Isaac ask the Question where is the lamb?
Genesis 22:7 (NIV):Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, "Father? "Yes, my son?" Abraham replied. "The fire and wood are here," Isaac said, "but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?"
It is interesting that a ram and not a lamb was found at that time to take the place of Issac for the lamb was not yet to revealed.
And after 2,000 years in 27 AD we was to receive the answer from John the Baptist saying here is the lamb.
John 1:29 (NIV):
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!"
John 1:36 (NIV):
When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, "Look, the Lamb of God!"
As to say to us this is the Lamb which God provided which God is to use to take away our sins. And as a Lamb he came and died for our sins without a word of compliant of why a sinless Saviour was to die for us who are so vial and polluted in sin.
Isaiah 53:7 (New American Standard Bible):
"He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He did not open His mouth; Like a lamb that is led to slaughter, And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers, So He did not open His mouth."
When ready to complaint of what you are lacking remind yourself what God had provided and the price it cost him for those undeserving sinners like ourselves .

Don't ever convert to a religion because you are with a person of that religion. I witnessed to 3 ladies last week who left being christian because they got with a Muslim. They said they worshipped God. When in reality they worshipped the men they got with. To change your beliefs because you got with a man or woman of that belief doesn't mean you worshiping their same deity but the one you got with. Instead of having a experience with the living God by conviction and following the Deity, you had a experience with a man or woman who is decaying and soon to perish.

Isaiah 40:6-8 ISV 6 A voice says, “Cry out!” So I asked, “What am I to cry out?” “All humanity is grass, and all its loyalty is like the flowers of the field. 7 Grass withers and flowers fade away when the LORD’s breath blows on them; surely the people are like grass. 8 Grass withers and flowers fade away, when the LORD’s breath blows on them, but the word of our God will stand forever.”

I had a personal experience with Jesus 23 years ago and I will not change my religion for no lady , I was even offered money and fame by the Illuminati and I said no without thinking twice.

As Christians we can't get with no one outside our religion.

2Corinthians 6:14-18 ISV 14 Stop becoming unevenly yoked with unbelievers. What partnership can righteousness have with lawlessness? What fellowship can light have with darkness? 15 What harmony exists between the Messiah and Beliar, or what do a believer and an unbeliever have in common? 16 What agreement can a temple of God make with idols? For we are the temple of the living God, just as God said: “I will live and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.” 17 Therefore, “Get away from them and separate yourselves from them,” declares the Lord, “and don’t touch anything unclean. Then I will welcome you. 18 I will be your Father, and you will be my sons and daughters,” declares the Lord Almighty.

Treasure the person who God has given you and always try to look at the work of God in them instead of their failures.

Christians are like a diamond in a ugly Rock. If you look deep inside you will find Christ the light of the world.

Brokenness and chatter is what we need to be , to be used by the potter.

In our Lord Jesus brokenness salvation came about.

Psalm 22:15 ISV My strength is dried up like broken pottery; my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth, and you have brought me down to the dust of death.

1Corinthians 11:24 NKJV and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

It is a broken heart that God will not despise.

Psalm 51:17 ISV True sacrifice to God is a broken spirit. A broken and chastened heart, God, you will not despise.

There is a sorrow that leads to salvation and that is the one that is brought to us directly from God.

2Corinthians 7:10 ISV For having sorrow in a godly way results in repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regrets. But the sorrow of the world produces death.

The brokenness of God in the Christian life is at times called in the Bible circumcision of the heart.

Man by nature is uncircumcised in heart.

Leviticus 26:41 NKJV and that I also have walked contrary to them and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if their uncircumcised hearts are humbled, and they accept their guilt—

Man is called to circumcise his heart , but on their own they can't. It has to be a inner work of God.

Deuteronomy 10:16 NKJV Therefore circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and be stiff-necked no longer.

Jeremiah 4:4 NKJV Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, And take away the foreskins of your hearts, You men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, Lest My fury come forth like fire, And burn so that no one can quench it, Because of the evil of your doings.”

God has to do it in man , brake their heart , take out what is not his .

Deuteronomy 30:6 ISV Then the LORD your God will circumcise both your hearts and those of your descendants so that you can love him with your heart and with your soul and therefore live.

Romans 2:29 NKJV but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.

God has promised us to give us a new heart in the new covenant that is obedient to him that is circumcise to his will.

Ezekiel 36:26 NKJV I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

Part 02

When we think of the Psalms many think of David as the only author of them but David was not the only author but others had their share of writing the Psalms as well.

David wrote almost half of the Psalms. He wrote a total of 73 Psalms. The following Psalms was written by him. 3 to 9, 11 to 41, 51 to 65, 68 to 70 , 86, 101, 103, 108 to 110, 122, 124, 131 to 133 , 138 to 145.

King Solomon , David's son wrote two of the Psalms which are 72 and 127

Moses wrote one psalm which is Psalms 90

The Sons of Korah wrote 11 Psalms which is Psalms 42 , 44 to 49 , 84 to 85 , 87 to 88, Korah was the levite who rebelled against Moses, The ground open and swallowed up Korah and those who followed him but his son's were spared and their descendents which were godly men of God.

Numbers 26:9-11 ASV And the sons of Eliab: Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram. These are that Dathan and Abiram, who were called of the congregation, who strove against Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korah, when they strove against Jehovah, and the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up together with Korah, when that company died; what time the fire devoured two hundred and fifty men, and they became a sign. Notwithstanding, the sons of Korah died not.

Asaph wrote 12 Psalms , he was a levite and one of the leaders of David's choir. He wrote the following Psalms 50, 73 to 83

Ethan the Ezrahite he wrote one Psalm. Which is Psalms 89. He was a very wise man, and a levite . We are told Solomon was more wiser than him.

1Kings 4:31 ASV For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all the nations round about.

Heman the Ezrahite a other levite, he with the Sons of Korah wrote a Psalm which was Psalms 88. Although it is possible according to the Hebrew that the Sons of Korah wrote the Psalm for him.

Then there are 40 other Psalms by unknown authors. There is even one Psalms or more that some scholars debate might be written in the time of the Maccabean revolt against Seleucid rule around 167-160 B.C. One of these Psalms is Psalms 74 where we read "They burned down all the meeting places" most likely in reference to synagogues which didn't exist before the Babylon Captivity in 586 BC but after.

Psalms 74:8 ISV They say to themselves, “We’ll crush them completely;” They burned down all the meeting places of God in the land.

The Psalms are both songs and prayers for example:

Psalms 4:1 ISV When I call, answer me, my righteous God! When I was in distress, you set me free. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.

Psalms 30:4 ISV You, his godly ones, sing to the LORD, give thanks at the mention of his holiness.

The books of Psalms took over 1000 years to write and compile. Psalms is truly a work of art unlike no other.

Part 01
Martin Luther in his preface on the Psalms written in 1545 said the following {"Yea, the Psalter ought to be precious and dear, were it for nothing else but the clear promise it holds forth respecting Christ’s death and resurrection, and its prefiguration of His kingdom and of the whole estate and system of Christianity, insomuch that it might well be entitled a Little Bible, wherein everything contained in the entire Bible is beautifully and briefly comprehended, and compacted into an enchiridion or Manual. It seems to me as if the Holy Ghost had been please to take on himself the trouble of putting together a short Bible, or book of exemplars, touching the whole of Christianity or all the saints, in order that they who are unable to read the whole Bible may nevertheless find almost the whole sum comprehended in one little book "}

We are told in the New Testament to sing the Psalms as we sing to God and each other.

Ephesians 5:19 ISV Then you will recite to one another psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; you will sing and make music to the Lord with your hearts;

Colossians 3:16 ISV Let the word of the Messiah inhabit you richly with wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, and singing to God with thankfulness in your hearts.

James the brother of our Lord said when we are happy to sing Psalms.

James 5:13 ISV Is anyone among you suffering? He should keep on praying. Is anyone cheerful? He should keep reciting psalms.

The Psalms are divided into 5 books just like the Torah , Pentateuch, the five books of Moses. Some Bibles will show you the divisions others will not.

Psalms 1 to 41 is the 1st book of Psalms
Psalms 42 to 72 is the 2nd book of Psalms
Psalms 73 to 89 is the 3rd book of Psalms
Psalms 90 to 106 is the 4th book of Psalms
Psalms 107 to 150 is the 5th book of Psalms

The main message as in all the books of the Bible is Jesus Christ.

Luke 24:44 ISV Then he told them, “These are the words that I spoke to you while I was still with you—that everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms had to be fulfilled.”

So when we read the Psalms we should expect to see prophecies about Jesus.

There are Psalms known as the Messianic Psalms are:

Psalm 2, 8, 16, 22, 23, 24, 40, 41, 45, 68, 69, 72, 89, 102, 109, 110, 118, 132

These Psalms are classified as messianic because they contain references to the Messiah and are often quoted or alluded to in the New Testament, highlighting aspects of Christ’s person, work, suffering, and resurrection . Other Psalms might refer to the messiah but not as clearly as theses.

You will also find in these Psalms besides prophecy a conversation between the God the Son and God the Father .

Psalms 40:6-8 ISV 6 You take no delight in sacrifices and offerings— you have prepared my ears to listen— you require no burnt offerings or sacrifices for sin. 7 Then I said, “Here I am! I have come! In the scroll of the book it is written about me. 8 I delight to do your will, my God. Your Law is part of my inner being.”

God also uses situations in the Psalmist life that parallels with the Messiah's life as well when it is refer to. For example David in Psalms 41 when referring to Ahithophel betrayal speaks without knowing about Judas betrayal to Jesus.

Psalms 41:9 ISV As for my best friend, the one in whom I trusted, the one who ate my bread, even he has insulted me!

John 13:18 ISV I’m not talking about all of you. I know the ones I have chosen. But the Scripture must be fulfilled: ‘The one who ate bread with me has turned against me.’

The Holy Spirit inspired holy men of God to write these Psalms. And he used different matters to get them write them as well.

2Peter 1:20-21 ISV 20 First of all, you must understand this: No prophecy in Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, 21 because no prophecy ever originated through a human decision. Instead, men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

Hebrews 1:1 ISV God, having spoken in former times in fragmentary and varied fashion to our forefathers by the prophets,

I wish this site did not had limits in the number of words and letters one could write.

Benefits of a having a smaller Church Part 02


11. Increased accountability: In intimate church communities, members are more likely to be known and recognized by their peers and leaders. This can lead to increased accountability and support in living out their faith. Members can encourage and hold one another accountable to biblical principles and personal growth.

12. Closer connection to leadership: In smaller churches, members can develop closer relationships with the church leadership. This allows for easier access to guidance, mentoring, and pastoral care. Members may feel a greater sense of trust and rapport with those in leadership positions, fostering a stronger sense of community.

13. Opportunities for leadership development: Intimate church communities often provide more opportunities for individuals to take on leadership roles and develop their skills. With fewer members, there may be a greater need for active participation and contribution. This can empower individuals to grow in their leadership abilities and serve the church community in meaningful ways.

14. Enhanced sense of belonging: In intimate church communities, individuals can experience a heightened sense of belonging due to the close-knit nature of the group. This can lead to a deeper feeling of acceptance, inclusion, and being part of a spiritual family.

15. Stronger prayer support: In smaller church communities, there is often a greater emphasis on prayer and intercession. Members can feel more comfortable sharing prayer requests and praying for one another’s needs, resulting in a strong network of prayer support within the community.

16. Opportunities for mentoring younger generations: Smaller churches often have a higher proportion of older and more experienced members who can mentor and invest in the younger generations. This passing down of wisdom, guidance, and discipleship can contribute to the spiritual growth and development of younger believers.

17. Increased sense of unity and cohesion: The close relationships forged in intimate church communities often lead to a stronger sense of unity among members. This unity can transcend differences and promote a shared focus on Christ and His mission.

18. Emphasis on deep biblical teaching: With fewer individuals to cater to, smaller church communities can prioritize in-depth teaching and study of the Bible. This allows members to delve deeper into God’s Word, fostering spiritual growth and a deeper understanding of biblical truths.

19. Intimate pastoral care and support: In small church communities, pastors and leaders can provide more personalized care and support to individual members. This may include pastoral counseling, prayer ministry, and pastoral visits during times of need or crisis.

20. Cultivation of community-centered outreach: Intimate church communities often prioritize reaching out to the local community in meaningful ways. This can include organizing community events, partnering with local organizations, and actively engaging in acts of service to meet the needs of the community.

21. Cultivation of a strong sense of ownership: In small church communities, members are more likely to feel a strong sense of ownership and responsibility for the growth and functioning of the church. This fosters a proactive and engaged attitude, with members actively contributing their gifts, talents, and resources for the betterment of the community.

Benefits of a having a smaller Church Part 01

While both intimate church communities aka Smaller churches and larger churches have their own unique benefits, intimate church communities can offer some distinct advantages. While many people complain of having a smaller Church there are many benefits in a smaller Church which the mega churches can’t provide . These may include:

1. Deep Relationships: In intimate communities, members have the chance to form close bonds, develop meaningful friendships, and support one another in a more personal and authentic way.

2. Individual Attention: With fewer people, leaders can provide more individualized care, guidance, and support to each member. This can create a sense of belonging and ensure that personal needs are met within the community.

3. Active Participation: In smaller groups, members often have more opportunities to actively participate in various aspects of worship, ministry, and decision-making. This can foster a sense of ownership, empowerment, and engagement within the community.

4. Accessibility: Smaller church communities can be physically and financially more accessible to individuals who may feel overwhelmed or intimidated by larger congregations. They may offer a more welcoming and less intimidating environment for newcomers and those seeking a more intimate worship experience.

5. Flexibility and Adaptability: Intimate communities can be more flexible and adaptable in responding to the specific needs and interests of their members. They can tailor their programs, activities, and ministries to cater to the unique dynamics of the group.

6. Strong sense of community: In intimate church communities, members often feel a stronger sense of belonging and connection to one another. This can create a supportive and nurturing environment where individuals feel valued and accepted.

7. Opportunities for growth: With closer relationships and increased individual attention, intimate church communities can foster personal and spiritual growth. Members can receive guidance, mentorship, and accountability from leaders and fellow believers, leading to a deeper understanding of their faith.

8. Authentic worship experience: In smaller church gatherings, worship may feel more intimate and authentic. The atmosphere can be more conducive to heartfelt expressions of worship, allowing individuals to connect with God on a deeper level. Intimate church communities may provide a more authentic worship experience, as individuals can feel freer to express themselves without hesitation or self-consciousness. This fosters an atmosphere of genuine worship and connection with God.

9. Ability to address specific needs: Intimate church communities have the capacity to address specific needs within the group more effectively. Whether it be through targeted counseling, support groups, or specialized ministries, the community can provide tailored assistance to individuals facing particular challenges.

10. Stronger sense of teamwork: In smaller church communities, members often have more opportunities to work together and serve one another. This can result in a stronger sense of camaraderie and teamwork, as individuals come together to accomplish shared goals and support the overall mission of the church.

According to Genesis, "Of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it." What's wrong with knowing right from wrong?

When all that you know is that which is right then knowing what is wrong has to be attained by experience. So experience of that which is evil. And that is what is wrong. There desire to experience evil which they never felt or done in their lives. As one who never had a drug addiction before but then tries drugs for the first time. And wishes he never tried it because now he or she can't stop. Or any addiction, there are some experiences in our lives that we wish we never done before that was better not knowing how it felt then now being addicted to in some sense or experiencing pain because of it. Not all knowledge is good especially if you have to go through trouble to attain it and find out it wasn't all that you imagined it would be. The saying it can't hurt to try in many occasions it has and it cause pain on yourself and others you loved. Say that you have a child who has an innocent mindset why do you want to expose that child to r-rated movies or filth. Adam and Eve was like newborn babies even though they came to be already grown up their minds were innocent. And it was in no condition to be exposed to things that wasn't meant for them to be exposed to. There some experiences I wish as a child I never gone through like rape by a family member. Now we all might say knowing about sex is good but not in all occasion especially when you are a child. When you have a mind set that should not be on sex before it's time. Or in the example of drugs there are some drugs we desire not to be exposed to because we rather not have that experience because it would save of from addiction or sorrow by the hurt it would cause our family. So knowing right from wrong in their case was wrong.

The Bible states the Land belongs to God who has given it to the Jews.

1. Genesis 13 : 14-15: "The Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, ‘ Lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward, for all the land that you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever."

2. Genesis 15 : 18-21 : "On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, ‘ To your offspring I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates."

3. Genesis 17: 8: "And I will give to you and to your offspring after you the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession, and I will be their God."

4. Numbers 34: 1-2: "The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ' Command the people of Israel , and say to them, When you enter the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, the land of Canaan as defined by its borders) ."

5. Deuteronomy 1 : 7-8: "Turn and take your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites and to all their neighbors in the Arabah, in the hill country and in the lowland and in the Negeb and by the seacoast, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates."

6. Deuteronomy 11:24: "Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours. Your territory shall be from the wilderness to the Lebanon and from the River, the river Euphrates, to the western sea ."

7. Joshua 1 : 3-4: "Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, just as I promised to Moses. From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites to the Great Sea toward the going down ofthe sun shall be your territory."

8. Ezekiel 47:13: "Thus says the Lord God: ' This is the boundary by which you shall divide the land for inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel."

9. Psalm 105: 11 : "Saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan as your portion for an inheritance . "

10. Jeremiah 32:22: "And you gave them this land, which you swore to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey."

These verses are often interpreted as indicating the divine promise of land to the Jewish people.

You can't say I believe in the Bible and Believe in Abortion. If you are one who says you do explain the following. Then how can you explain the joy John the Baptist felt in hearing the mother of the Messiah?

Luke 1:44, Luke 1:15

How do you support abortion when you know God is the maker of the baby?

Psalms 139: 13-16

How can you explain a baby believing in God in the belly?

Psalms 22:10 I was cast upon You from birth. From My mother’s womb You have been My God.

How can you explain twin babies having hostility in the belly?

Genesis 25:22-26

How can you kill a life which God knows personally before he formed any part of them?

Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born, I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”

The Law of Moses punished under death the person who killed a baby in the womb of a woman who was pregnant.

Exodus 21:22-26

Even Now in our own public laws a person is charged with two accounts of murder for killing a woman who is pregnant under the The Unborn Victims of Violence Act of 2004.

The Unborn Victims of Violence Act of 2004 (Public Law 108-212) is a United States law that recognizes an embryo or fetus in utero as a legal victim, if they are injured or killed during the commission of any of over 60 listed federal crimes of violence. The law defines "child in utero" as "a member of the species Homo sapiens, at any stage of development, who is carried in the womb."

How sad it is that a baby is not recognized as a life if the mother wishes to abort him or her, but they are counted if they are a victim in a violent crime. A life is a life whether in one situation or another. How dumb it is when people say it is my body, I could do with it as I please. When given the same excuse when COVID hit that excuse wasn't good enough for anyone who didn't take the vaccine.

A life is a life whether in one situation or another. How dumb it is when people say it is my body, I could do with it as I please. When given the same excuse when COVID hit that excuse wasn't good enough for anyone who didn't took the vaccine. News flash it is not your body in the belly. It is a other person with feelings, emotions, life and a future. And how quick you are to abort it in your religion. Abortionists are a religion of their own. Jesus said about the bread in communion ("Eucharist) “This is my body "

Matthew 26:26

And the person who's having an abortion and supports abortion says literally the same words of Christ in an ungodly manner this is my body " or "my body my choice "

And pop culture are quick to take these aborted babies and apply them to products in their Satanic system.

In 2011 Pesi was using aborted fetus in their food products to enhance it's flavor. See article by CBS News (" Pepsi's Bizarro World: Boycotted Over Embryonic Cells Linked to Lo- Cal Soda BY Melanie Warner UPDATED ON: JUNE 3 , 2011 / 10:11 AM")

Cosmetics also using aborted fetus in their products Fetal Cells in the Cosmetics, Food, and Medical Industries Updated: Aug 3 , 2022 by Stephanie Hauer states (" Think about the items in your house for a moment. Do you have coffee creamer in the fridge? Mouthwash or anti-aging cream on the bathroom counter? Spices in your kitchen cabinet? How about a bandage on your arm from a recent vaccine, or prescription drugs? If you answered yes to any of these questions, there's a chance that you have a product that was made using human fetal cells ...... ")

Well said Isaiah the prophet about Israel enemies

" Isaiah 49:26

Instead of America being a help to Israel, they have been their enemy only two presidents have help Israel as a nation.

President Harry Truman Who was the first world leader recognize Israel as a Jewish state on May 14, 1948, And President Donald Trump who recognized Jerusalem as the state of Israel on December 6, 2017

Apart from these two presidents no other presidents have really helped Israel as a nation. But notice the prophecy concerning Israel's enemies they will drink their own seed states Isaiah. In the Old Testament children sacrifices was band from Israel. God didn't want them to do like the nations around them who practice such rituals which are wicked. Molech was the false God who ask for such sacrifices. Leviticus 18:21, Leviticus 20:2-5 One of the reasons states Jeremiah why God Handed Judah over to her enemy Babylon was because of her child sacrifices. Which God was against. (Jeremiah 32:34-36) Children are special in the eyes of God. This is why Satan wishes to destroy them. And those who survives he wishes to corrupt their minds. And we have a very demonic president who is a Satan’s puppet in Biden who will do just that if he gets the chance. Just as Obama was for abortion and against the nation of Israel so is his vice president

Now in Days we have preachers saying that if you was a Christian and committed suicide you are going directly to heaven. This is not biblical no matter who says it . But in the beginning of Christianity that wasn’t the case . A person who committed suicide wasn’t said they went to heaven.

Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD): “But as for those who die by their own hand, whether they escape other punishment or not, caution requires that they be deprived of the privilege of sepulture; just as, in the case of those who have been struck by lightning, the violence of the blow is held to consume even the right of burial. For these wretches are not to be honored with funeral rites, or to be admitted to interment in the sepulchres of their ancestors, nor to be mourned by their relatives, or even to be bewailed at all, their suffering being embittered by the infliction of this additional ignominy, while every precaution is also to be taken lest they be worshipped as gods, which tends to the ruin of the living, who foolishly imitate what they believe to be the example of the dead. We must sorrow for the unhappy, but not as though they were altogether to be lamented” (The City of God, Book 1, Chapter 17).

In this passage, Augustine argues that those who die by suicide should be denied the privilege of burial and mourned, as their actions have violated the sanctity of life.

Tertullian, De Anima (“On the Soul”), Chapter 25, Paragraph 6 “For nothing else than subverting God’s work is taught by that set of men—except perhaps the cutting of the throat, the separation of soul from body, that most acceptable murder, which they call liberation, and for which a martyr’s chaplet is awarded.”

Tertullian, De Fuga in Persecutione (“On Fleeing Persecution”), Chapter 2, Paragraph 3. “But say they, I prefer death to this abandonment (of faith), and to avoid their other torments, I will anticipate them by suicide. By all means, anticipate: but bear in mind that the thing that you are villains enough to take upon yourselves, you will give an account of before God—both as a violation of His law, and the crime of self-murder. For he who has frightened away an enemy with a weapon, is adjudged to have killed him; and much more does God reckon him a murderer who has scared the sword of the public magistrate from himself by dying upon it. In whatever way thou shalt slay thyself, thou wilt be his murderer. For though thou shouldest hang thyself, or kill thyself by a draught of poison, or throw thyself before a running carriage, thou wilt be none the less a self-murderer.”

The Bible is clear he who persevere to the end will be saved .

Matthew 24:13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And Revelation tells us that murders , cowards and unbelievers will not get to enjoy the New Heavens and New earth if they don't repent.


The Bible states A Coward , a Murder and unbeliever will not make it to heaven.

Revelation 21 : 8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

And a person who commits suicide is all three .

1) He or she is a murder because they killed themselves
2) He or she is a coward because they quitted this life for fear of the trails of life .
3) He or she is a unbeliever because they didn't trust Christ to saved them from their situation.


We are told in scripture "do not murder" and the biggest murder one can do is that of murdering yourself.

Exodus 20:13 "You shall not murder

If pastors and ministers would preach more against suicide than defending those who committed it there would be less suicides. Oh that is not a message of consolation to those who lost someone because of suicide you might say. I rather be consoled with the truth of the word of God even if it hurts me and pierces my heart then to be consoled with a lie. In telling me that my loved one is in heaven when they really are in hell and the word of God is being twisted to prove a false ideology is not being a friend a matter of fact it’s being more of an enemy.

Does the Bible say anything about celebrating one’s birthday or having a party for someone on their special day (birthday)?
We see a few birthdays mentioned in the Bible:

Pharaoh’s Birthday
Genesis 40:20

Herod’s Birthday
Matthew 14:6

Job’s Children celebrated thier birthday
Job 1:4


John the Baptist’s Birthday
Luke 1:14

Christ’s Birthday
Luke 2:11


There are cults like the Jehovah witnesses who are against Birthdays which states reason’s which make no sense like:

1)People were murder at the two birthdays mentioned in the Bible

2) Day of death better than birth

3) Not celebrated by Jews or Christians

4) Pagan

Jehovah’s Witnesses do not celebrate birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Lent, or Easter. (Watchtower, 15 September 1987, 18).
“The Bible reports only two birthday celebrations, both of persons who were not servants of the true God. The first was that of Pharaoh of Egypt. It was marked by the hanging of Pharaoh’s baker, who had been in prison with Joseph. … The second, some 1,800 years later, was the birthday of Herod Antipas [during which the daughter of Herodias asked for] ‘The head of John the baptizer.’ … Is it just coincidental that they are mentioned and that both were for persons not having God’s approval? Or could it be that Jehovah deliberately had these details recorded in his Word, which he says is “beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight”?” Watchtower 1980 Jul 15 pp.30-31
“Although childbirth is a joyful occasion, the Bible puts it in perspective with this interesting comment: “A name is better than good oil, and the day of death than the day of one’s being born.” (Eccl. 7:1) … So the imperfect life we have at birth is not really life at all from God’s point of view. That is why a good “name” with God is so important! … Would it not be better to seek and rejoice in a good relationship with God than to celebrate a birth date?” Awake 1981 Dec 22 pp. 14-15
“Additionally, birthday celebrations tend to give excessive importance to an individual, no doubt one reason why early Christians shunned them. (Ecclesiastes 7:1) So you will find that Jehovah’s Witnesses do not share in birthday festivities (the parties, singing, gift giving, and so forth).” School and Jehovah’s Witnesses p.18

Answers:

1) But Herod & Pharaoh also killed people on days that wasn’t thier birthday.

2) So because of that, should we all commit suicide, or spend all our lives thinking we are going to die, I think not , that is not really a good excuse

3) Not true , Christian’s of the early church did celebrated birthdays. Not every early Christians were against birthdays.

Tertullian 155-220 AD The Chaplet Chapter 3 (“As often as the anniversary comes round, we make offerings for the dead as birthday honours. “)
Ambrose (339–397AD) Concerning Virgins Book 1 Chapter 2 (“ 5. And my task begins favourably, that since to-day is the birthday of a virgin, I have to speak of virgins, and the treatise has its beginning from this discourse. It is the birthday of a martyr, let us offer the victim. It is the birthday of St. Agnes, let men admire, let children take courage, let the married be astounded, let the unmarried take an example. “)

Did Jews celebrate their birthday, there was some that might of been against it but a big majority was not. Let’s look at the Talmud:

The Talmud Yerushalmi (Rosh Hashana 3:8) relates that when the Amalekites attacked the Jewish people, they chose soldiers whose birthday fell out on the day of the battle. They perceived that a person’s birthday is a lucky day for him, and therefore he will be successful in battle.

Rabbi Yosef Chaim of Baghdad writes in Ben Ish Chai (Parshat Re’eh 17) that some people celebrate their birthday because the day is a good sign for that person. He personally celebrated birthdays in his home.

The author of the Tiferet Yisrael commentary on the Mishna, Rabbi Yisrael Lifshitz, instructed his children that when one of them has a birthday the others should visit and bless him.

(Iggeret Tiferet Yisrael 6, Sefer Mayim HaHalacha).
(“Similarly, distinguished members of Jerusalem’s Jewish community used to visit Rabbi Shemuel Salant on his birthday and offer him their blessings.”)

4) And the Bible also tells of Job being a Godly man and not being against his sons and daughters celebrating their birthday. If it was Idolatry He would of clearly been against it. And there is prophecy of people celebrating John the Baptist’s Birthday. And the scripture teaches us Christ birth being celebrated by the angels. God is not against Birthdays unless you are planning to do something stupid on that day

How do we Know the time of the Tribulation is 7 Years? This is known by Doing the math in Daniel 9 of the 70 weeks of years

Daniel 9:24-27 “Seventy weeks are determined For your people and for your holy city, To finish the transgression, To make an end of sins, To make reconciliation for iniquity, To bring in everlasting righteousness, To seal up vision and prophecy, And to anoint the Most Holy. “Know therefore and understand, That from the going forth of the command To restore and build Jerusalem Until Messiah the Prince, There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; The street shall be built again, and the wall, Even in troublesome times.“And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself; And the people of the prince who is to come Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood, And till the end of the war desolations are determined. Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate.”
A) Notice what are the 70 weeks of years are for :
1) To finish the transgression
2) To make an end of sins
3) To make reconciliation for iniquity
4) To bring in everlasting righteousness
5) To seal up vision and prophecy
6) And to anoint the Most Holy
70 weeks of years is 490 years 70 × 7 =490
B) “Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem Until Messiah the Prince, there shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks. Even in troublesome times.
7×7= 49
62 × 7= 434
49+434 =483
Persian king Artaxerxes on March 5, 457 BC according to archeology commanded To restore and build Jerusalem.
Messiah was born between 6 BC Herod died in 4 BC & he sent to kill the children who was 2 years or younger in his attempt to kill Jesus.
Matthew 2:16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was deceived by the wise men, was exceedingly angry; and he sent forth and put to death all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all its districts from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the wise men.
C) "And after the sixty- two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself; And the people of the prince who is to come Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.
Death of the Messiah Jesus was in 26 AD Jesus started his ministry at age 30 Luke 3:23 Now Jesus Himself began His ministry at about thirty years of age... And lasted till his death about 3 years this is assumed by counting the feast Passover twice in the gospel of John and assuming the unnamed feast to be Passover as well. Romans destroyed the Temple by the command of Titus was in 70 AD
D) The end of it shall be with a flood, and till the end of the war desolations are determined. Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week, He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, even until the consummation, which is determined, is poured out on the desolate.
457 BC to 26 AD is 483 years this leaves 7 years left of the Tribulation which Antichrist will make a 7-year covenant and break it in the midst.

The Jehovah Witness favorite verse to attack the Trinity is John 17:3 .

John 17:3 NKJV And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

And they would say that “The Father is the only true God” but according to the Greek this verse can be translated a number of ways.

Adam Clark Commentary on John 17:3 states
“……The words in this verse have been variously translated:
1. That they might acknowledge thee, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent, to be the only true God.
2. That they might acknowledge thee, the only true God, and Jesus, whom thou hast sent, to be the Christ or Messiah.
3. That they might acknowledge thee to be the only true God, and Jesus Christ to be him whom thou hast sent.
And all these translations the original will bear…..”

The Greek word Monos which means only when couple with the Greek word Kia which means ” and , Also ” can include both parties as the main subject examples of this can be seen in the following:

John 8:9 NKJV Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone (monos), and (kia) the woman standing in the midst.

Notice in the verse above “Jesus was left alone (monos), and (kia) the woman standing in the midst. “
Was Jesus alone ? No the woman was also there . Both are included .
Other example :

1Corinthians 9:5-6 NKJV Do we have no right to take along a believing wife, as do also the other apostles, the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas? Or is it only ( monos) Barnabas and ( Kia) I who have no right to refrain from working?

Is the only in reference to Barnabas ? no Paul was also included as having the right to take a believing wife.

Also to show you that Jesus is not left out of the subject of being the true God we see Jesus also is called the true God in 1 John .


1John 5:20 NKJV And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.


The Holy Spirit is also included because he along with the Father and the Son is also God moreover is true.


He is called the Spirit of Truth

John 14:17 NKJV the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.

He is also called God

Acts 5:3-4 NKJV But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.”

Now who is excluded from being the only true God , all the idols which the Romans and the Greeks worshiped at that time.

Let's boycott the Olympics, Grammys, Oscars till they stop mocking God. We don't have to watch them and be entertain by their demonic ways.
