Redeemed Should REMEMBER the Following

 

I, even I, am he that comforteth you:

who art thou,

that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die,

and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;

 

Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return,

and come with singing unto Zion;

and everlasting joy shall be upon their head:

they shall obtain gladness and joy;

and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.

Isaiah 51:12,11

IN the NEWS - Internet Address Expansion - Papal Rome comes in first

"The Vatican has come out in first place in a long-awaited draw to expand the Internet address system with new domain names that go beyond the usual .com, .org or .net endings.

ICANN, the corporation that oversees the Internet address system, announced this week the domain name .catholic written in Chinese characters will be the first bid it considers in a drive to expand and reorganize sites on the World Wide Web.

The same extension in Arabic letters ranked 25th in the random draw and the Vatican's application for a version in Cyrillic for Russian and other Slavic languages came in 96th.

Ranking high means the applicant could get approval early next year to operate the new domain and approve addresses using it. In the Vatican's case, Rome could then ensure only genuine Roman Catholic institutions get to use that domain name.

"This is a way to give a coherence and authentication to our presence in the digital arena," said Monsignor Paul Tighe, secretary of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications.

"Anyone looking online will recognize the site belongs to an institution that belongs to the Catholic Church," he said, adding the new, so-called top level domain names (|TLDs) could also help speed online searches." Reuters

Ain't nothing wrong with that....they should have a way to control their name & it's use online...but Papal Rome clearly is powerful on the world stage....after nearly 2,000 years....

Revelation 13:12

Choice

..........choose you this day whom ye will serve; ..... but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
Joshua 24:15
"When Christ took human nature upon Him,

 

He bound humanity to Himself by a tie of love that can never be broken by any power save the choice of man himself.

Satan will constantly present allurements to induce us to break this tie--
to choose to separate ourselves from Christ.

 

Here is where we need to watch,

to strive,
to pray,
that nothing may entice us to choose another master;
for we are always free to do this.

 

But let us keep our eyes fixed upon Christ, and He will preserve us."

why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

A Walk Through Job - He sees God (In the Creation-as God had just layed out previously to him)

Then Job answered the LORD, and said,      

I know that thou canst do every thing,
and that no thought can be withholden from thee.      
Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge?
therefore have I uttered that I understood not;
things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.  

Hear , I beseech thee, and I will speak :

I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.      

I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear:

but now mine eye seeth thee.      

Wherefore I abhor myself,

and repent in dust and ashes.

Let Self Be Lost

I am crucified with Christ:

nevertheless I live;

yet not I, but Christ liveth in me:

and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God,

who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Galatians 2:20

"When the mind dwells upon self,
it is turned away from Christ,
the source of strength and life.

 

Hence it is Satan's constant effort to keep the attention diverted from the Saviour

and thus prevent the union and communion of the soul with Christ.

The pleasures of the world,
life's cares and perplexities and sorrows,
the faults of others,
or your own faults and imperfections--
to any or all of these he will seek to divert the mind.
Do not be misled by his devices.

Many who are really conscientious,

and who desire to live for God,

he too often leads to dwell upon their own faults and weaknesses,

and thus by separating them from Christ he hopes togain the victory.

 

We should not make self the center and indulge anxiety and fear as to whether we shall be saved.

All this turns the soul away from the Source of our strength.

Commit the keeping of your soul to God,

and trust in Him. Talk and think of Jesus.

 Let self be lost in Him."

IN the NEWS - Euthanasia for Minors?

Now they are going down the road of "mercy KILLINGS" for MINORS and those who can't remember things? Really? The can of worms that euthanasia has opened....Antother end time prophecy being fullfilled in our time.....

 

And because iniquity shall abound,

the love of many shall wax cold.

Matthew 24:12

"Belgium is considering a significant change to its decade-old euthanasia law that would allow minors and Alzheimer's sufferers to seek permission to die.
The proposed changes to the law were submitted to parliament Tuesday by the Socialist party and are likely to be approved by other parties, although no date has yet been put forward for a parliamentary debate.



Shame on the Belgian Socialist Party

The draft legislation calls for "the law to be extended to minors if they are capable of discernment or affected by an incurable illness or suffering that we cannot alleviate."

Belgium was the second country in the world after the Netherlands to legalise euthanasia in 2002 but it applies only to people over the age of 18.

Socialist Senator Philippe Mahoux, who helped draft the proposed changes, said there had been cases of adolescents who "had the capacity to decide" their future.

He said parliamentarians would also consider extended mercy-killing to people suffering from Alzheiner's-type illnesses.

Euthanasia was allowed to an Alzheimer's patient for the first time in the Netherlands last year.

In Belgium, some 1,133 cases -- mostly for terminal cancer -- were recorded in 2011, about one percent of all deaths in the country, according to official figures." France24International


 

A Walk Through Job - Answer Me like a man Job

Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said ,      

Gird up thy loins now like a man:

I will demand of thee,

and declare thou unto me.      

Wilt thou also disannul my judgment?

wilt thou condemn me,

that thou mayest be righteous ?      

Hast thou an arm like God?
or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?  
Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency;
and array thyself with glory and beauty.   
Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath:
and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.  
Look on every one that is proud,
and bring him low ; and tread down the wicked in their place.  

Hide them in the dust together;

and bind their faces in secret .      

Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.      

Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee;

he eatethgrass as an ox.   

Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.  

He moveth his tail like a cedar:

the sinews of his stones are wrapped together .      

His bones are as strong pieces of brass;

his bones are like bars of iron.   

He is the chief of the ways of God:

he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.  

Surely the mountains bring him forthfood,

where all the beasts of the field play .      

He lieth under the shady trees,

in the covert of the reed, and fens.   

The shady trees cover him with their shadow;

the willows of the brook compass him about .      

Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not:

he trusteth that he can draw upJordan into his mouth.   

He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth throughsnares.

Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook?

or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down ?      

Canst thou put an hook into his nose?

or bore his jaw through with a thorn?   

Will he make many supplications unto thee?

will he speak soft words unto thee?      

Will he make a covenant with thee?

wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?   

Wilt thou play with him as with a bird?

or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?   

Shall the companions make a banquet of him?

shall they part him among the merchants?   

Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons?

or his head with fish spears?8Lay thine hand upon him,

remember the battle, do no more .      

Behold, the hope of him is in vain :

shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?  

None is so fierce that dare stir him up :

who then is able to standbefore me?      
Who hath prevented me,
that I should repay him?

whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.  

    I will not conceal his parts, nor his power , nor his comely proportion.   

Who can discover the face of his garment?

or who can come to him with his double bridle?

Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.

    His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.

One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.      

 They are joined one to another, they stick together , that they cannot be sundered.  

    By his neesings a light doth shine ,

and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.   

Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out .      

Out of his nostrils goethsmoke, as out of a seethingpot or caldron.   

His breath kindlethcoals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.   

In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joybefore him.      

The flakes of his flesh are joined together :

they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved .      

His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.      

When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid :

by reason of breakings they purify themselves.      

The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold :

the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.   

He esteemethiron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.   

The arrow cannot make him flee :

slingstones are turned with him into stubble.

Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.

Sharp stones are under him:

he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.   

He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.

He maketh a path to shineafter him; one would think the deep to be hoary.   

Upon earth there is not his like, who is madewithout fear.

He beholdeth all high things:

he is a king over all the children of pride.

Job 40:6-24 & Job 41

Creation Moment 12/21/2012 - Gorilla DNA Throws Monkey wrench into Evolutionary Theory

"As we expected, comparison of gorilla DNA with human DNA produced results that were unexpected by evolutionists because they aren’t consistent with what the theory of evolution predicted. This “allows a fresh assessment of the evolutionary mechanisms,” which is a polite way of saying that they have to go back to Square One.

The first problem evolutionists have to face is the fact that analysis of different genes result in different phylogenetic (that is, family) trees.

The standard view of the primate evolutionary tree is that chimpanzees and humans share a more recent common ancestor with each other than either shares with gorillas. Accordingly, the most closely related sequence for any human gene should be found in the chimpanzee. However, Scally and colleagues' demonstrate that, although this is true for most genes, large fractions of the ape genomes contradict this simple pattern. … This process, which leads to conflicting evolutionary trees for different genes, is called incomplete lineage sorting

In other words, evolutionists believe that the (unknown) ancestor of modern gorillas split from the (unknown) common ancestor that begat chimpanzees and humans. Therefore, human DNA should be closer to chimp DNA than gorilla DNA. If you use DNA similarities to construct an evolutionary tree, humans and chimps should be more closely related than humans and gorillas. It should not matter what part of the DNA molecule you analyze. The problem (for evolutionists) is that you get different evolutionary trees depending upon which part of the DNA you analyze. They found “large fractions of the ape genomes” in which humans are more closely related to gorillas than chimps.

This is such a common problem that Nature inserted a sidebar article titled, “How incongruities in phylogenetic trees can arise.” According to that sidebar,

Scally and colleagues found that in 30% of the western-lowland-gorilla genome, the DNA sequences are more similar to the corresponding sequences from the human or chimpanzee genomes than the sequences of these two species are to each other — although humans and chimpanzees are expected to have shared a more recent common ancestor with each other than either does with gorillas. Such inconsistencies between evolutionary relationships can result from various processes.

In that sidebar they said that the “various processes” that produce incorrect phylogenetic trees are “incomplete lineage sorting” and “gene flow.”

Since these two processes can produce erroneous results, how do you know which phylogenetic tree is correct? It’s simple. If it confirms your prejudice, it is right. If it contradicts your prejudice, it is wrong!

If the theory of evolution were true, that is, if people, chimps, and gorillas really did evolve from a common ancestor, then it would not matter which genes you analyzed. They would all produce the same phylogenetic (that is, evolutionary) trees. But if people, chimps, and gorillas did not evolve from a common ancestor, the differences in DNA would not be the result of genetic mutations over time. The difference would be due to differences in the way the creatures were designed. Certain parts of the DNA molecule would be more similar than others because certain physical features happened to share similar design philosophies." ScienceAgainstEvolution

Subject for the Soul's Contemplation

"Your weakness is united to His strength,
your ignorance to His wisdom,
your frailty to His enduring might.

So you are not to look to yourself,

not to let the mind dwell upon self,

but look to Christ.

Let the mind dwell upon His love,

upon the beauty,

the perfection,

of His character.

 

Christ in His self-denial,

Christ in His humiliation,

Christ in His purity and holiness,

Christ in His matchless love --

this is the subject for the soul's contemplation.

It is by loving Him, copying Him,
depending wholly upon Him, that you are to be transformed into His likeness."
Steps to Christ Ch. 8 E.G.W.

And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us,

and hath given himself for us an offering

and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

Mt. Uritorco in Argentina

"As mountaintops go, this one is for meditating. And the odd UFO sighting. But now it is closing for a few days to avert a mass suicide by folks girding for the world's end.
December 21 marks the end of a 5,200-year cycle on the Mayan "Long Count" calendar. It's a cause for celebration for many in Mexico and Central America, but spells doomsday for some believers.
In Argentina's central Cordova province, fallout will be felt at a mountain called Uritorco, which was sacred for indigenous peoples when their numbers were still large in Argentina.
Authorities will shut down access to it from December 20 to 22 because an appeal has gone out on Facebook for people to climb the hill December 21 and commit "massive spiritual suicide," said Gustavo Sez, mayor of the nearby town of Capilla del Monte. That name means chapel on a hill."

@ My personal observation- 

Seperation of Church & State is one thing--but using the State to stamp out the Church is another. Some, in their attempt to keep Church & State seperate, have gone too far the other way.

Thou shalt not kill.
Deuteronomy 5:17

 

A Walk Through Job - What do you really know?

Where is the way where light dwelleth?

and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,      

That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof,

and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?  

Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born ?
or because the number of thy days is great?   
Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow?
or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,   
Which I have reserved against the time of trouble,
against the day of battle and war?   

By what way is the light parted ,

which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?   

Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters,
or a way for the lightning of thunder;   
To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is;
on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;   
To satisfy the desolate and waste ground;
and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth ?  
Hath the rain a father?
or who hath begotten the drops of dew?   
Out of whose womb came the ice?
and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?      
The waters are hid as with a stone,
and the face of the deep is frozen .      

Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades,

or loose the bands of Orion?   

Canst thou bring forthMazzaroth in his season?

or canst thou guideArcturus with his sons?

Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven?

canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?   

Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds,

that abundance of waters may cover thee?      

Canst thou sendlightnings, that they may go , and say unto thee, Here we are?      

Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts?

or who hath givenunderstanding to the heart?   

Who can number the clouds in wisdom?

or who can stay the bottles of heaven,   

When the dust groweth into hardness,

and the clods cleave fast together ?      

Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion?

or fill the appetite of the young lions,

When they couch in their dens,

and abide in the covert to lie in wait?   

Who provideth for the raven his food?

when his young ones cry unto God,

they wander for lack of meat.

Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth?

or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?  

    Canst thou number the months that they fulfil ?

or knowest thou the time when they bring forth ?     

They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones,

they cast out their sorrows.  

Their young ones are in good liking ,

they grow up with corn; they go forth ,

and return not unto them.      

Who hath sent out the wild ass free?

or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?   

Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings.   

He scorneth the multitude of the city,

neither regardeth he the crying of the driver .   

The range of the mountains is his pasture,

and he searchethafter every green thing.   

Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?   

Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow?

or will he harrow the valleys after thee?      

Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great?

or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?      

Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed,

and gather it into thy barn?  

Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks?

or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?   

Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,   

And forgetteth that the foot may crush them,

or that the wild beast may break them.      

She is hardened against her young ones,

as though they were not hers:

her labour is in vain without fear;   

Because God hath deprived her of wisdom,

neither hath he imparted to her understanding.   

What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider .     

Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?   

Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.   

He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.   

He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted ; neither turneth he backfrom the sword.  

The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.   

He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage:

neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet.   

He saithamong the trumpets, Ha, ha;

and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.   

Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom,

and stretch her wings toward the south?   

Doth the eagle mount up at thy command,

and make her nest on high ?      

 She dwelleth and abideth on the rock,

upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.   

From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.   

Her young ones also suck upblood:

and where the slain are, there is she.

Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,  

  Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him?

he that reproveth God, let him answer it.

Job 38:19-40:2
