For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. (John 1:17)

I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. (John 15:1,2)

There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; THAT VERY WORD WHICH I SPOKE WILL CONDEMN HIM AT THE LAST DAY. (John 12:48)

The word of the LORD came to me: "Son of man, with one blow I AM ABOUT TO TAKE AWAY FROM YOU THE DELIGHT OF YOUR EYES. Yet do not lament or weep or shed any tears. Groan quietly; do not mourn for the dead. Keep your turban fastened and your sandals on your feet; do not cover the lower part of your face or eat the customary food of mourners." So I spoke to the people in the morning, and IN THE EVENING MY WIFE DIED. The next morning I did as I had been commanded. (Ezek 24:15-18)
WHY?
Say to the house of Israel, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I AM ABOUT TO DESECRATE MY SANCTUARY--THE STRONGHOLD IN WHICH YOU TAKE PRIDE, THE DELIGHT OF YOUR EYES, THE OBJECT OF YOUR AFFECTION. The sons and daughters you left behind will fall by the sword. And you will do as I have done. You will not cover the lower part of your face or eat the customary food of mourners. (Ezek 24:21,22)
EZEKIEL WILL BE A SIGN TO YOU; YOU WILL DO JUST AS HE HAS DONE. When this happens, you will know that I am the Sovereign LORD.' And you, son of man, on the day I take away their stronghold, their joy and glory, the delight of their eyes, their heart's desire, and their sons and daughters as well-- (Ezek 24:24,25)

And after he became the father of Methuselah, ENOCH WALKED WITH GOD 300 YEARS and had other sons and daughters. Altogether, Enoch lived 365 years. Enoch walked with God; then HE WAS NO MORE, BECAUSE GOD TOOK HIM AWAY. (Gen 5:22-24)Enoch was certainly no spiritual lightweight to "walk with God". Also, there is no mention of his death, UNLESS (possibly) his death is inferred by "God took him away." In Hebrews, it becomes clear:
By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; he could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. (Heb 11:5)(Compare scripture with scripture to know the truth.)

When he had received the drink, JESUS SAID, "IT IS FINISHED." WITH THAT, HE BOWED HIS HEAD AND GAVE UP HIS SPIRIT. Now it was the day of Preparation, and THE NEXT DAY WAS TO BE A SPECIAL SABBATH. Because the Jews did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down. (John 19:30,31)Jesus died on the cross one day before that "special sabbath", which was still a sabbath (Saturday). Clearly, Jesus died on Friday and not on Thursday or any other day, as some suggest.

Now ELISHA WAS SUFFERING FROM THE ILLNESS FROM WHICH HE DIED. Jehoash king of Israel went down to see him and wept over him. "My father! My father!" he cried. "The chariots and horsemen of Israel!" (2 Ki 13:14)
ELISHA DIED AND WAS BURIED. Now Moabite raiders used to enter the country every spring. Once while some Israelites were burying a man, suddenly they saw a band of raiders; so THEY THREW THE MAN'S BODY INTO ELISHA'S TOMB. WHEN THE BODY TOUCHED ELISHA'S BONES, THE MAN CAME TO LIFE AND STOOD UP ON HIS FEET. (2 Ki 13:20,21)Even though Elijah was used to heal others, such as Naaman of leprosy (2 Kings 5), he himself died from an illness. Nonetheless, Elijah was apparently so in touch with God's healing powers that his BONES, when put in contact with a dead man, brought that dead man back to life.
Those are more precious, spiritual details, yet they are strange to us now. Consider also Elijah's cloak on Elisha in 1 Kings 19:19-21.

When they went across the lake, THE DISCIPLES FORGOT TO TAKE BREAD. (Mat 16:5)Here are a select number of scriptures on that point:
Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him. If we disown him, he will also disown us; if we are faithless, he will remain faithful, for he cannot disown himself. KEEP REMINDING THEM OF THESE THINGS.... (2 Tim 2:11-14)
Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. (2 Cor 9:6)
remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. (Eph 2:12)
Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David. This is my gospel, (2 Tim 2:8)
Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you stood your ground in a great contest in the face of suffering. (Heb 10:32)
Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith. (Heb 13:7)
Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place. (Rev 2:5)
Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; obey it, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you. (Rev 3:3)
Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. (1 Cor 15:1)
For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. (2 Tim 1:6)
Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, (Titus 3:1)
Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe. (Jude 1:5)

Some of us have had time to get the truth and to advance step by step, and every step we have taken has given us strength to take the next. But now time is almost finished, and what we have been years learning, they will have to learn IN A FEW MONTHS. They will also have much to unlearn and much to learn again. Those who would not receive THE MARK OF THE BEAST and his image when the decree goes forth, must have now to say, Nay, we will not regard the institution of the beast (Ellen G. White, Early Writings, p.67, emphasis mine).
Since much more than a 'few months' have gone by since 1850 and the decree referred to regarding the mark of the beast has not been issued, we KNOW this was a definite false prophecy by Ellen G. White, who the SDA church still proclaims as a prophetess.SDA people think a NATIONAL LAW will yet be passed making SUNDAY the day of worship and the sabbath, but it should have already happened, according to EG White! (They think the 'beast' is Catholicism and the RCC will make Sunday (instead of Saturday) the sabbath - the Mark of the Beast.)
Consequently, the zealous and God fearing SDA people are WIDE OPEN to receive the real MARK OF THE BEAST needed to "buy or sell" because of that deception. MAY GOD OPEN THEIR EYES.
But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart,
who hear the word, retain it, and by PERSEVERING produce a crop. (Luke 8:15)
A fool's mouth is his undoing, and his lips are a snare to his SOUL. (Prov 18:7)
When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, "The gods have come down to us in human form!" Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes because he was the chief speaker. (Acts 14:11,12)Though we do not know what Paul or Barnabas actually looked like, perhaps that passage might give us a tiny hint. Since Zeus was supposed to be the supreme god of gods in Greek mythology, then perhaps Barnabas had an impressive physical appearance. Hermes (the chief speaker) was something different, but Paul must have been a good speaker (articulate and rational) to be likened to him.
Paul stated his opponents described him this way:
For some say, "His letters are weighty and forceful, but in person HE IS UNIMPRESSIVE and his speaking amounts to nothing." (2 Cor 10:10)Also, MAYBE MAYBE because he was stoned and drug out of Lystra his physical eyes MIGHT have been affected, as possibly indicted here:
What has happened to all your joy? I can testify that, if you could have done so, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me. (Gal 4:15)
See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand! (Gal 6:11)Whatever they looked like, both apostles were HEROES OF THE FAITH, especially Paul.

WITH THE HELP OF SILAS, WHOM I REGARD AS A FAITHFUL BROTHER, I HAVE WRITTEN TO YOU BRIEFLY, encouraging you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand fast in it. (1 Pet 5:12)FYI: Silas was a NT prophet of God (Acts 15:32), but Agabus was best known:
One of them, named Agabus, stood up and through the Spirit predicted that a severe famine would spread over the entire Roman world. (This happened during the reign of Claudius.) (Acts 11:28)
After we had been there a number of days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. Coming over to us, he took Paul's belt, tied his own hands and feet with it and said, "The Holy Spirit says, 'In this way the Jews of Jerusalem will bind the owner of this belt and will hand him over to the Gentiles.'" (Acts 21:10,11)

Islam is a totally pagan and ANTI-Christ false religion, which allows for 4 wives - child brides (pedophilia) and wife beatings among other DETESTABLE, ungodly and God-dishonoring things.
Muslims are idolaters, bow before the black stone of Kaaba and even reject the deity of Christ (citing the same exact flawed objections that Jehovah's witnesses do.) Moreover, Muslims deny Jesus' death on the cross and his bodily resurrection.
It is IMPOSSIBLE, therefore, that the dead and lost Muslims worship the true and living God - the Christian God of the Bible.

When I left the Catholic church (during Vatican Council II), we heard MORE about Mary than the Lord Jesus Christ in that congregation! Be assured, Roman Catholicism does NOT teach the real Mary of the Bible, who at one low point, thought Jesus was CRAZY and went to take charge of him (Mk. 3:21 cf. Mk. 3:31).

When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, DO NOT BE ALARMED. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. (Mark 13:7)
DO NOT BE ANXIOUS ABOUT ANYTHING, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Phil 4:6,7)
I tell you, my friends, DO NOT BE AFRAID OF THOSE WHO KILL THE BODY and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies ? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. DON'T BE AFRAID; YOU ARE WORTH MORE THAN MANY SPARROWS. (Luke 12:4-7)
DO NOT BE AFRAID OF THOSE WHO KILL THE BODY but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. (Mat 10:28)
...DO NOT LET YOUR HEARTS BE TROUBLED AND DO NOT BE AFRAID. (John 14:27)Hence,
Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. (1 Cor 16:13)Live your passing earthly life in those truths and UNLIKE the wicked, lazy and worthless servant, who said:
So I WAS AFRAID and went out and hid your talent in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.' (Mat 25:25)

Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is NOT WORTHY OF ME; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is NOT WORTHY OF ME; and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is NOT WORTHY OF ME. (Mat 10:37,38)
If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters -YES, EVEN HIS OWN LIFE--HE CANNOT BE MY DISCIPLE. And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14:26,27)
Yet you have a FEW people in Sardis who have NOT SOILED THEIR CLOTHES. They will walk with me, dressed in white, for THEY ARE WORTHY. (Rev 3:4)
Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. (Rev 2:4)
Jesus replied: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' (Mat 22:37-39)

After this, Jesus and his disciples went out into the Judean countryside, where he spent some time with them, and BAPTIZED. Now John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because there was plenty of water, and people were constantly coming to be baptized. (This was before John was put in prison.) An argument developed between some of John's disciples and a certain Jew over the matter of ceremonial washing. They came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, that man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan--the one you testified about--well, HE IS BAPTIZING, AND EVERYONE IS GOING TO HIM." (John 3:22-26)
The Pharisees heard that Jesus was gaining and BAPTIZING MORE DISCIPLES THAN JOHN, although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. (John 4:1,2)Hence, BEFORE the feeding of the 5,000, they started baptizing. Sequentially, they also started baptizing after John 3:5 (a chief misused verse among the water gospel proponents which does not refer to water baptism):
Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is BORN OF WATER and the Spirit. (John 3:5)So, AFTER John 3:5 and AFTER Jesus' disciples started baptizing, the following people were saved (forgiven of their sins) WITHOUT BEING BAPTIZED:

Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature. (Rom 13:14)
Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. (Col 3:12)
Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." (1 Pet 5:5)Are you spiritually clothed like that?

The wife of a man from the company of the prophets cried out to Elisha, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that he revered the LORD. But now HIS CREDITOR IS COMING TO TAKE MY TWO BOYS AS HIS SLAVES." Elisha replied to her, "How can I help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?" "Your servant has nothing there at all," she said, "except a little oil." Elisha said, "Go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars. Don't ask for just a few. Then go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and as each is filled, put it to one side." She left him and afterward shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring. When all the jars were full, she said to her son, "Bring me another one." But he replied, "There is not a jar left." Then the oil stopped flowing. She went and told the man of God, and he said, "GO, SELL THE OIL AND PAY YOUR DEBTS. You and your sons can live on what is left." (2 Ki 4:1-7)They could not declare bankruptcy back then, as in our day now. Consequently, they went into SLAVERY to pay for their debt.

Then the woman said to Elijah, "Now I know that you are a man of God and THAT THE WORD OF THE LORD FROM YOUR MOUTH IS THE TRUTH." (1 Ki 17:24)That grateful woman stated the above after a wonderful miracle from God, but WAS HER STATEMENT SOUND? YES and NO. What came from Elijah was true, but the statement in essence is dangerously FALSE! Why? Because the devil and his lying servants can perform miracles too (Rev. 16:14; 2 Thess. 2:9,10; etc.).
**BE SURE TO CONSIDER ALL THE SCRIPTURES and compare scripture with scripture.
Under a close examination with scripture: (1) the Marian healings at Lourdes, France, (2) Sai Baba and (3) spiritism must be all rejected as being from God, because the message associated with them do not parallel the bible - sole final authority. The devil tries to deceive via his miracles.

There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; (Heb 4:9)The Lord Jesus promised a "REST" and even more:
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I WILL GIVE YOU REST. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find REST FOR YOUR SOULS. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." (Mat 11:28-30)**Do you have REST FOR YOUR SOUL now? GO TO JESUS TO GET IT. Ponder the 2 verses together.
Let us, therefore, MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO ENTER THAT REST, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience. (Heb. 4:11)
MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO ENTER THROUGH THE NARROW DOOR because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will NOT be able to. (Lk. 13:24)

We ourselves HEARD THIS VOICE THAT CAME FROM HEAVEN when we were with him on the sacred mountain. And WE HAVE THE WORD OF THE PROPHETS MADE MORE CERTAIN, and you will do well to PAY ATTENTION TO IT, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. (2 Pet 1:18,19)WOW WOW! Peter heard the REAL VOICE OF GOD, but stated that the written "word of the prophets" (the Scriptures) is "MORE CERTAIN"!!! Folks, you can fully trust the message of the Bible. That is what the earliest Christians taught. See also 2 Tim. 3:16-2 Tim. 4:2.
(I would never have believed that wonderful truth, unless scripture stated it to be so. Would you?)
