Rejecting the cultural Christianity I grew up with to embrace and enjoy a relationship with Jesus Christ. A place to come and share thoughts about almost anything. Especially things of the Lord. Please no Anonymous posts, I enjoy knowing who is writing to me.

Jesus Christ Never Lied to Anyone!
If a Calvinist goes into all the world to preach the gospel as God commanded, and they preach to someone who has been predestined to go to hell, he is then lying to that person!
Calvinists do not know who is predestined to be born again and who is not when they preach to strangers on the street.
Would God call us to lie to anyone? NO!!!!!
When Christ told us to go into all the world and preach the gospel He meant to "go into all the world and preach to all the people."
God never lied when He said that He wished that all would be saved. He never lied when He said He died for all mankind.
Romans 5:18
"Therefore, just as one trespass brought condemnation for all men, so also one act of righteousness brought justification and life for all men."
1 Timothy 2:3-5 "…3 This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,…"

The Irrational Nature of TULIP
It is not a loving God Who would punish someone for not being born again if they never had the choice in the first place.
Punishing mankind for doing something they had no ability to do is irrational.
To declare that because God is sovereign He does not give any choices is also unsupported by the Scriptures. God never forces anyone into any thing. He presents the truth and expects obedience, those who will not obey are judged for that.
Also, the command to repent and believe would be irrational if it were already decided whether or not someone was going to hell. Its lying, if you preach to the whole world to trust Christ when God knows someone will not and is born to go to hell, it is lying to that person who is predestined to go to hell.
Mark 16:14-16 "14 Later as they were eating, Jesus appeared to the Eleven and rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. 15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to EVERY CREATURE. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.…"
God is not a God of lies. God said go into all the world and preach to every creature, but He never says only preach to the predestined. If the preacher preaches to those who are not predestined then that preacher is lying to them. And no one can know for sure in that faulty system, if someone is a predestined one or not.
God wanted the whole world to trust in Him, that's what He said, I believe Him. However, He knows the whole world will not choose to trust Him, even though that is His desire.
Matthew 16:25 ""For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it."
"WHOEVER"
1 Timothy 2:3-5 "…3 This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,…"
"Who desires all men to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth."
Its not complicated as so many Calvinists would have us believe. In order to come up with this irrational doctrine of Calvinism, one has to twist a lot of words in the Bible and even add some that are not there.
See how irrational this system of "TULIP" is, it defies the commands and purposes of God on so many levels.

Indoctrination of the Government Schools
When a teacher who is teaching your child rolls their eyes as the child speaks of the parents belief system, the children are taught to despise their parents beliefs.
Yes, that's how it works, the facial expressions and constant dissmissiveness of the teachers toward parents trains the children to despise us.
When a teacher of this caliber is with our children 5 days a week all day long it is likely that she, and most of them are women, will be the greater influence in our children's lives.
In the mind of a child the parents home is just where they sleep, their real life is at school with that teacher who has been educated in secular schools.
The children often identify more with their teachers than their parents. This is the reason I have been so against the public school system. The government schools want to shape what our children think, the only way to do that is to be the greatest influence over them. The push for year round school kept the children away from their parents for most of their growing years.
AND YOU WONDER WHY THE CHILDREN ARE SO DISRESPECTFUL AND MEAN SPIRITED?
The children have been largely raised on self esteem. The teachers trained them to think of themselves first, to love themselves more than anyone else and to disregard their parents. NOW you understand why so many good parents are being disregarded, ignored and abandoned in our culture.
We actually have a new term coined by those in the health care field, its called "elder orphans", these are the elderly who have been ignored, rejected and despised by selfish children.
The young people of the 70's have no understanding of what honor looks like. They feel justified in feeling contempt for anyone who attempts to instruct them, especially if its from God's Word.
Honor is not bringing a birthday card once a years while treating the parent like a child to be dismissed. Honor is actually enjoying and revering the teachings and wisdom of the parent who has lived far longer than their children.
The only way for adult children to understand authentic honor is for them to ask God to show them. Without God opening their eyes they will not be able to see their disrespectful attitudes.
Acts 26:18
"To open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’"

Government Schools Will Destroy Your Children
The school children of today are being constantly lied to in order to turn them against their parents. The government wants to be their parent, but for that to happen effectively the children must see the government schools as their authority and mentors.
This happened to many stay at home moms, their children were taught that their mother didn't know anything, that what mother was teaching was silly and wrong.
When the children came home and told their mother what they were learning sometimes she had to correct them, but they didn't revere or honor her teaching so they went with everyone else around them.
They believed in "self esteem" even if they said they didn't, the way they acted disrespectfully toward their mother showed her they did suck some of that false teaching into their soul without even realizing it. The children revered and respected their father because he was educated in state schools and held good jobs. Mother was just a "housewife" in their opinion even if she supported their father in all his endeavors.
To this very day many mothers are seen as a problem and foolish because she speaks of the Bible often, refuses to do what others think is good but she know goes against God's Word and does not tolerate their attitudes of disrespect.
These same children claim to be Christian but married narcissistic people who encouraged them to despise their mother, even making judgments and speaking lies that were not true of her at all.
This description of the Mothers of a generation ago is common in our day. The mother who stood for righteousness, hated sin and evil is the one who was maligned all her life for her dedication to truth.
Not only was the school system influential in this way with the children, the extended families engaged in the indoctrination to turn the children against the teachings of the mother.
Sadly we see more of this than we see of support for mothers who are attempting to teach the things of God. There is little support for those parents who want to use the Bible for their teachings. Even Christians who attend church regularly are influencing the children in worldly ways that diminish the Word of God in the eyes of the children.
Children of today are being led to believe that their parents did everything wrong and that they need to listen to the government schools for their wisdom.
It was bad enough 25 years ago but even worse now.

Paganism Cannot Be Made into Christian
Turning a pagan and hedonistic celebration into a Christ centered holiday is an oxy-moron. It is not possible to honor the Lord with wicked things. Even if the evil things are removed to pretend its about Christ, it still dishonors God.
Jeremiah 10:2-3 "2 This is what the LORD says: “Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by the signs in the heavens, although the nations are terrified by them. 3 For the customs of the peoples are worthless; "
Tacking onto a pagan holiday the name of Christ is the same as accepting the entire holiday. It merely means that there is a desire in the heart to do what the heathens do while making it "appear" acceptable to God.
"Putting lipstick on a pig does not change the nature of the pig, its still a pig."
The desire of the heart to participate in heathen experiences shows a lack of dedication to Christ. God hates mixing! When we mix paganism we only have paganism. Attempting to mix paganism with Christianity is a rebellious attempt to have the paganism with the excuse that Christ was tacked on to it.
I am amazed at how many people think they NEED these pagan holidays to be happy. When we are full of Christ we need no celebration that meld us with the world.
Worldly celebrations are nothing more than "pleasure seeking." The born again believer has great joy and pleasure in the things of the Lord and a quiet content life.
1 Timothy 6:6-11
"6 But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment. 7 For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either. 8 If we have food and covering, with these we shall be content."
Riotous living is not interesting to the born again believer. There is no desire to have ungodly celebrations that only distract from contentment and from God.
Halloween and other holidays do not interest the born again believer who loves the Lord's appearing.
