Tim Tebow’s prayers are controversial, but not these

Tim Tebow’s journey from 3rd stringer to playoff winning quarterback has obviously been impressive, despite getting blown out by New England this weekend.  The odds of taking over a team that is 1-4, bringing it to the playoffs, and winning a playoff game are less than one percent.  That’s not an exaggeration, that’s the actual percentage.

But, while his unorthodox play in an unorthodox offense is somewhat understandably controversial on the field, I can’t quite figure out the controversy around his faith.  I think the popular answer for conservatives is to blame the media and their well documented slant against Christians.  But, I don’t think that fully explains it here.

 

For example, Victor Cruz. Cruz is arguably a bigger and better story than Tim Tebow.  He was a complete unknown coming into this year, his second season.  Last year, he had exactly zero catches.  This year he had 82 catches, finished 3rd in the league in yards, and is leading the New York Giants to another potential Superbowl (in media market number one, no less.)   He has been a phenomenon.   Down the stretch of the regular season, when the Giants had to win, he played some of his best football–including a catch that wound up being the 14th 99 yard play from scrimmage in NFL history.

 

What does Cruz believe has caused all of this?

A: I guess it is just God-given ability. When I get the ball in my hands I try to make the most out of every play. I try to make the maximum yardage I can get every time I touch the ball. God’s blessed me with some ability to do some good things and to be able jump and run and run good routes. It’s a testament to God.

 

That’s three God references in one answer folks.  Even “testament” thrown in there for good measure. In fact, this isn’t the most overtly religious I’ve seen Cruz in an interview, and I have never seen one in which he didn’t thank God.  It’s usually not a passing mention either, and most importantly—he actually seems to believe it.  He wants you to know he’s a Christian, and that God is a big part of his life.  Good for him.  As much as I hate the Giants (as an Eagles fan), I can’t help but like him.  Even though that 99-yard catch was singlehandedly responsible for me coming in second in my Fantasy Football League. (I should have been praying for Fantasy success, I guess.)

 

Here’s another example—as uncovered by the Blaze this weekend.  It is being called the greatest knockout in UFC history.  It starts with the knockout, but look at what comes next, at about 15 seconds in.

The winner, Edson Barboza, kneels in the ring, points at himself and his ridiculous muscles and shakes his head no.    Then he points at the sky, and shakes his head yes.  Then, he does it again for good measure and even mouths the word “nothing” when pointing at his physical strength. He is taking his moment in the sun, and trying to use that to communicate his faith.*

 


 

Now, I don’t know how much God intervenes to help you kick the crap out of other fighters, but the point is clear.  Whether it’s a UFC fighter, an NFL receiver, or even Albert Pujols who spoke eloquently about his love for Jesus Christ during our 8-28 event—public displays of faith have always been a part of sports.

 

Why is Tebow so controversial?

*Editor’s note: The original video with the 15 second celebration was pulled. THe current video only has a fraction of the celebration.

    Because he’s a white Christian who’s openly seen practicing what he preaches .  Never mind the fact that his mother was urged to abort him .  The Tim Tebow effect on the left has been a pleasure to watch , he’s made me even more proud to be a Conservative Christian since he’s driven them to the edge of complete meltdown .

    Tebow appeared in an anti-abortion commercial, which told women (and the men involved) that they might have suctioned other talented QBs out of their wombs and that it might be a bad thing to do so.

    That’s the Unforgivable Sin: questioning a Leftist Sacrament.

    Without the commercial, they’d leave him alone.

    Funny how Tebow, with all his praying, gets sacked pretty often. 7 times against the Lions, 5 times against the Patriots. Very funny.

    I don’t think Tebow is controversial. He’s just laughable. Just like those other examples. If god exists (and that’s a very big if), I doubt it gives a damn about whatever sports one of 6+ billion primates with over-clocked monkey brains takes part in.

    The display of one’s love for Jesus has become not politically correct because it drives a two edge sword into the critics soul.
    It the pray that we see is a pray of thanks.  Tebow kneels while David danced.  I see TD celebrations that look stupid but I am not offended.
    A reason that Tebow is hailed and criticized are the same reasons.  Tebow isn’t ashamed of his faith and prays in defeat as well as victory.
    Tebow allows God to use him rather than him using God.

    this point in his career. So God can use him
    much like He used Gilead in the Bible. Plus Tim gives ALL the glory to
    God. His favorite verse is John 3:16 and note that the TV rating for the Pittsburgh game was a
    record for a wild card playoff game 31.6, Tim passed for 316 yards,
    average completed pass 31.6-most ever in a playoff, time of possession
    31.6 minutes, the head coach is named John and the Exec VP is John

    As for Tebow, my theory is that he says “Jesus” instead of just “God”.  Again, just a theory.  I cheer for Tebow just because everyone else doubts him.  Did you see the show of support for him at Mile High Stadium the day of the Broncos / Steelers game?  Amazing!

    Hey, none of us knows the method by which God created life. God only tells us the spiritual truths surrounding the creation, such as why the Sabbath comes one day in seven.

    Furthermore, Science doesn’t even know what Science says about the creation of life. Every so often, we get a paradigm shift as our scientific knowledge increases.

    It’s stupid to plant your flag on any scientific theory and use it as a substitute for Faith, because the theory will change, and then where’s your god now?

    ..16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

    And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but
    one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the
    commandments.
    18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do
    no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou
    shalt not bear false witness,
    19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
    20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
    21
    Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou
    hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and
    come and follow me.
    22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
    23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
    24
    And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the
    eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
    25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
    26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
    27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
    28
    And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have
    followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the
    throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the
    twelve tribes of Israel.

    Anyone who has ever asked our Lord for intervention, has gotten it.  Not on our terms, but His.  I can attest to this myself.  God has always given me what I have asked for.  There’s one rule and one rule alone that one should not ask for and that is money.  You can ask for the means to get it, ie, a job, but never money in itself.  That too I’ve learned.   Prayer is a power tool and it begins with belief in our Lord.  The most simple and basic reguests have been granted me, and for that I am greatful.

    I have a lot of admiration for a public testimony of any athlete or public figure. Religion today is about compromise – and a Christian has no business compromising but it’s hard to go against the public opinion of “tolerance.” We love the sinner but hate the sin of rejection of Jesus Christ who professes to be “the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the father but by me.” God bless all those willing to publically stand for him.

    The reality in the belief of a creator is a personal one. It’s the humility of accepting we have a God that created us from the dust of the earth as a loving father to His Children for The rest of His Everlasting Life! To a belief in accepting we die and go to Darkness and never meant anything and exist! and exist not! Over and over till the world destructs and all is gone from existence.
    Which belief is a more plausible one? That is your decision! I believe God gave us

    Tebow haters are not politically motivated.  It’s because he has proven most of his detractors wrong.  He was never supposed to make the cut and make the final Bronco’s roster.  He was never supposed to start an NFL game, ever.  He was never going to win ONE game!  He did all that and more.  And when he was asked how he does it, Tim Tebow thanks the Lord/Jesus and his team mates.  He doesn’t throw their hate back in their face and he takes away their arguements.  When faced with that, his detractors are reduced to personal attacks on his religious stance.  When Tim Tebow fades away, there will be another target.  It may be Victor Cruz.

    the more positive the kinetic energy! The less you seek the more negative kinetic energy

    I don’t believe god plays football or boxes, but I do believe he gives some guys great ability in sports as part of who they are, just as others have no ability in that area, but great in some other.  So when a Christian athelet plays well, he thanks God for His gift, and acknowledges God as the Giver, and moves on.  When his ability doesn’t meet the chalenge, he thanks God anyway, and leaves the whole matter in God’s hands, as he plays by God’s rules.  This is not hard to understand; it’s just that the liberals in too many cases, don’t like God much because He is God, and not them.  God’s plan doesn’t coordinate with theirs.  So….God is out of reach, so they pick on His men.

    With all due respect I have to say something.  You cannot be the judge and arbitrater of such a thing.  I agree that the totally left liberal ideology is not in line with the Biblical record, and I’ve been a student and teach for 45 years.  But to say that a person on the left can’t possibly be a Christian is a bridge too far.  Not all DEMs are nutcases; some DEMs are very moderate in their views, and vote well most of the time.  Some on the left are just misinformed, or following a family tradition, and in due time will see the error of their way.  I’m not a DEM and I am a Christian, one who leaves the matter of another persons heart to God.  It’s these kinds of readical remarks that rob Christians of their credibility.  My husband was a DEM by family tradition, but before he died, we both voted for the same conservative candidates in all elections.  He would have loved Tebow, too.

    The New Covenant based on the work of Christ on the cross is open to “whoseoever will.”  Any can come with sincere repentance and find forgiveness of their sin, and rebirth in Christ.  Yes, much of Leftist ideology is contrary to th Bible, such as Abortion, and Honosexuality, but I don’t think we can consign all who are Democrats to the fire of hell.  We are all a work in progress, and God will deal with each of us personally.  I hate abortion, and I believe homosexuality is a sin, but God loves the sinners, and abhores their sin.  I’m happy for you that God led you to a better political view, and hope you would pray for those who need to be enlightened, not condemned.  I don’t find anything in the bible that states the collective views of a Democrat is sinful; some of the platform positions of the party are.  Not the same.

    @oldladydemps- I am simply saying how can a biblically submissive Christian possibly support the Democrat party while maintaining fidelity to the Jesus they claim as Lord of all.For those of you who believe that a Christian can indeed support a political organization that is broadly committed to legalized infanticide, the legitimization of homosexuality and the redefinition of family and marriage.  Tragically, you can believe anything you want. But Jesus plainly stated in John 4:24, “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”  If people don’t have the truth, then they can’t worship God.  This is why Jesus said in Mark 7:7, “Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”  A Christian has a duty to carefully examine and compare to scripture the issues promoted by the party they choose to support.

    Your moniker is a BIG one; thelionoftruth.  I think I get what you are trying to say but some of the statements are leading toward misconception.  Example: “it is the individual mindset that God accepts”  My Bible says that when we come to Christ in sincere repentance the blood of Christ is the basis for God to accept us as a whole person, warts and all.  We are forgiven and cleansed of all sin.  We are then clothed with the righteousness of Christ, in the eyes of God.  As humans, we will still make mistakes and fall short, but if we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us.  As for truth; Jesus said He was the Way, the Truth, and the Life.  Can’t improve on that.  Yes, maturity is the goal of a believer, and Romans has a lot to say about that. God doesn’t keep an eye on us, looking for our good works.  Good works are the out-flowing of the love in our hearts, from God.  When we start talking about obeying commandments, we are sitting on a fence called legalism, and that’s not a good place to be.  One of Christ’s names is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.  It is admirable to emmulate Christ in your daily life, but the lion of anything doesn’t match up with the humility that also was part of who Jesus is.  True understanding of the Word comes from study and inspiration from the Hly Spirit.  If we use only our natural brain power to interpret the Word of God, we are going to miss the mark.  We are to enlighten those who lack knowledge, not condemn them.

    I cant telll for sure if you are in support of the Jews or if you are Anti-Semitic.  I do know that you cannot link Jews as a people group to the Freemasons.  The other words used such as parasites and banksters are flung about, so I just want to be sure you know; the Jews were the ones God chose to be His people, and He gave them the Law, the Torah, the Tabernacle, the Prophets, and the Messiah Jesus was born a Jew.  He lived as a Jew and died on their Passover, the Lamb of God.  God loves these people, and promised to restore them to their land of the Covenant, and He did so on May 14, 1948.  In June of 1967 he allowed them to regain control of Jersualem.  The Times of the Gentiles are about spent, and through the Tribulation, Israel is front and center as God sends judgments on the world of Antichrist.  One does not mess with the apple of God’s eye; the Jews are His people, and the nations will be judged by how they treated Israel.  I’m a prophecy major, so feel free to check it out; God said in Geneis 12 that he blesses those who bless Israel, and curses those who curse Israel.  If you want to serve God, ya’ gotta’ love the Jews.  I do, and am happy to close with Alahua Shalom Yerushalyam.  Pray for the peace of Jerusalme.

    No one said anything about ‘Democrat’. The Murphy Family claims to be a ‘lefty’, not a democrat, so calling him/her a lefty is accurate. I know of many conservative Christians (all older) who are life-long Democrats because ‘Daddy hated Republicans’ (way back when Blacks were predominately Republican). These are essentially fundamentalist-type Christians that would excommunicate someone for having an abortion, yet they are vocal Democrats. So I know what you are saying. You can’t put everyone in neat little boxes. 

    BUT that is also the invalidation of The Murphy Family’s argument above. Just because he/she doesn’t fit the mold doesn’t mean that the general effect of Tebow on a large percentage of liberal non-Christians isn’t real. In fact, the Tebow Effect is only alleged to be affecting liberal NON-Christians, so I really don’t think The Murphy Family has a valid argument.

    Personally, I’m in the fundamentalist-type Christian camp, but Conservative and NON-evangelical. I don’t believe people CHOOSE Christ. I believe GOD chooses THEM. Therefore, I can’t judge whether Ms. Lefty so-and-so is a child of God, or whether the prostitute that hangs out downtown is or is not, or whether a given Muslim is or is not. I can’t know that. They might be born again moments before they die, 50 years from now. They might already be born again, but be completely ignorant of the Truth.

    In the end, I think we’ll see that around half the population are children of God, be they professing Christians or not. Maybe it will be closer to two-thirds. I don’t know. But it WILL be a lot higher figure than if the evangelicals are right, and you have to accept Christ BEFORE you can be born again. THAT number can’t be higher than about 15% of the world’s population at best.

        You know God is supreme in all thoughts. Humans were Created by Him.
    His thoughts are beyond Human thoughts. God Created us to be like Him. He
    is firm in His ways. He has Laws and instruction for His beings to live by and for to exist.
    When they strive to follow these they show His Rightness and are able to exist with Him
    in His! Nature which is eternal. When they do not follow Him such as Adam and Eve did they
    began living in a lower nature (Flesh and Blood) or Human Nature! Simply put! God wants us
    to return back to His forever Nature with no corruption at all! However we know we can’t stop
    because of the failure by Adam and Eve. But when we strive to follow Him through His Son
    Jesus Christ in earnest study to give honor and glory to our father in His righteousness He
    will provide us His Grace to allow our success when we fail as long as we are truly obey His
    strict instruction in righteousness! God absolutely will not allow corruption to exist with Him.
    If you know what I am getting across to you. You should fear God’s firm stand on your
    Character that has to be in His acceptance. Why? because God is offering you the opportunity
    to exist forever not in Human Nature form. But in His Godly eternal Nature form.
    That is the greatest gift that will be given to Man that God intended in the beginning! In the
    first place. If you understand this message and truly want to be with and like Yahweh God!
    you must follow His and His Sons every example to manifest God’s and Christ Nature.

    Your call! http://www.thisisyourbible.com to learn this truth.

    The good Lord created us with a brain and the choice to choose.  Tim Tebow choice is to pray and I say ” What’s wrong with that.”  We’re still a free country for now!!!!!!  Individuals express themselves everyday and Politics/ Media makes it a big deal just so they can stay on the air and make money and try to get votes.  Their using Tim Tebow however, Tim Tebow could probably care less about the Media.  An individual with strong belief in faith can not be broken.  Tim Tebow is a young adult with strong faith and the reason people don’t like it is because it scares them.  Actually, this is not about politics its about a young man with faith that helps him find determination within to the best he can be he is journey of life.

    Misconception comes in line with truthful debate
    of which I am not sure of what knowledge you, or what
    knowledge I possess until we can consider truth we
    must consider each others background in theology
    the study I am in, considers Holy Spirit revelation is
    Biblical and logically placed for these times and when
    interpreted properly along with Holy Spirit reveals God’s
    Plan and Purpose for Mankind as his intended full
    bodied immortal beings that manifest His righteousness through His Son (Being the first born of Godly Nature)
    to become like Him. For mankind to be able to also
    manifest perfectly (like Christ) God’s Perfect Nature.
    When in the end perfect mankind become All in All with God. God’s Grace is only His judgement

    Where did you study prophecy?  The quote you note was Jesus condemning a specific few hypocritical Pharisees, not the whole Jewish people group.  As to someone “creating” the Antichrist, you can be sure Satan has his hand on the guys shoulder even now, as the signs Jesus told us to watch for are piling up.  Satan creates the Antichrist, indwelling him when he rules the world.  The move toward a One Wold Government has been going on for decades, and will only happen when the economies of the world collapse, forcing nations that otherwise would not go along with that.  The Bible doesn’t say how far along the NWO will be when the Rapture removes true believers all over the world, but the EU is poised for that time.  In 2011 the EU reorganized with the top 10 nations in the power bloc.  Jews do NOT start WW III.  Russia and Iran line up an army of Arab nations and invade Israel; Ez. 38-39.  Antichrist comes up with a treaty to secure Israel, phony of course, and that starts the countdown on the Tribulation.  See Daniel 9-11.  Israel is NOT the bad guys.  Armageddon comes at the close of the Trib, and ends with Christ coming and defeating the whole bunch.  Your statement that Jews have destroyed millions etc.; Sir, read history.  Millions of Jews have been slaughtered by people claiming to be Christian from Martin Luther to the Vatican, during the Inquisition and Crusades.  Stalin and Hitler killed over 15 million between them.  Today, terrorists kill Jews for sport, and in closed nations Christians are killed and churches burned, by Islam and Communists.  Why do so many try to make Israel te bad guy?  Read Gen. 12.

    The ultimate rule will be the Kingdom of Yahweh God’s rule with His Son Jesus Christ on the
    Throne! Politics will be done away with. More sooner than you think! We as the true worshipers of Yahweh God are warning mankind to do the research because His Son is coming back as a
    fighting Lion. (The Lion of Judah) this time and you must prepare to  follow his commands or pay God’s reality of consequences to remain alive and properly worship the true AIL of all Creation Yahweh God!

       This should scare you!
    If you are not afraid you will be when Christ really returns. Then there’s
    no turning back. I know you think these are only words and words wont hurt you but when they
    turn to reality in all your lives your lives will be changed “in a moment in the twinkling of an eye”
    then
    all Nations will know! and Yahweh and Jesus will reveal to all His
    Creation His plan and purpose to remain in his Kingdom or perish in your
    thoughts that are against Him.
    It’s pretty simple really! Bond with
    your Loving Father and Creator of all things Yahweh God! and you will
    exist forever! Or chose to perish if you like to continue existing as
    you are!
    You do have this choice because of the free will God has given you, as compared to a robotic
    existence where you would be unaware of a personal existence. Yahweh is giving you a choice
    to be an inherited Son of Him and again! Exist with Him for rest of His Eternal Life!
    But you must know and follow His Laws in commanding instruction! No if’s ands or buts
    Yahweh is our Father in truth! In Logical Love of His Beings! And He wants us all to return to
    Him! Blessed is he who overcomes and understands His knowledge for His reward is Great!
    His Grace is Just! and His Word Is the absolute Truth of Life! What more is there if you are
    in His light? The only other choice is darkness.

    All Mankind has been deceived from the beginning since the first lie from the serpent in
    the garden. It is so hard for anyone to see their deceit. The vision of Yahweh God is simple
    His Creation was perfect and would have been immortalized! What happened next was the
    problem that was caused by coveting the serpents lie by listening to this Lie and lusting at
    the very thing against God our Creators only command to not eat of the knowledge of the tree
    of good and evil. There! is the start of calling God the liar! Today we still believe in an the
    extended lie that has grown in Mankind’s eyes that the divinity of God is the power that we
    turn to by His compassion to have man with Him even sinners are accepted when they
    repent and say their sorry and return and believe that God will feel sorry for them and allow
    their sinful nature to enter into his kingdom. But what does Yahweh tell is in His Word from
    the Bible. Mat. 5: 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one
    tittle shall in no wise pass from the Law. till all be fulfilled. or Mat. 5: 20 …except your
    righteousness exceed the righteousness of the scribes and pharisees, ye shall in no case
    enter into the kingdom of heaven. Mat. 24: 4,5  4…Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For
    many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive MANY. 
    John 6: 44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me DRAW HIM:
    and I will raise him up at THE LAST DAY. There is so much deceit in this world today it
    just makes it easier to accept the Religious concepts that God will be accepting our sinful
    nature if we just repent and say I’m sorry then go and sin again as long we ask for forgiveness
    in prayer. Ask yourself is it really that easy? Then why does Jesus say you must follow me.
    Do you know what that means? He even says you cannot enter the Kingdom unless you
    follow his examples! Do you know what all his examples are? Are you aware of the knowledge
    in Jesus instructions to be able to enter into the kingdom because Jesus tells us we NEED to
    know or be aware to be able to do! this. Giving us the way and the Knowledge to exist forever
    with God and him. But and this is a big but. You have seek or search God’s way to enter into
    the kingdom of heaven and not be deceived by men in the imaginations of their minds.
    So you SEE it is not easy from the darkness of deceit to the light of the true Word of God.
    Just like in a bad movie! All you knew was the wrong message!
    Now is the revelation of the true and correct message Yahweh expects his Creation to Know.

       All praises to Yah-weh God!  Hallelujah Amen and Amen!

  • thelionoftruth

    Another way to understand is that in most visions are images of Prophetic symbols not
    real images in secret existence! Most are always explained but some are imaginable realities
    explained to confuse the thoughts of prophecy as the mysteries of God that we will never
    understand. Not true! All God’s plan and purpose are to be revealed to those that logically
    seek God’s Word. with integral searching of His Truth. And with His Holy spirit All will be
    revealed. God is our loving Father for those that truly love Him back He will provide and reveal
    to all his people His thoughts to SEE and HEAR his PLAN and PURPOSE to be completed.
    God will no longer leave His Creation in the dark. Light will prevail on all the earth.

    Say Amen to all the Creation of Yahweh God.

    To become a servant of righteousness, We have to recognize we are a sinner. The Word says all have sinned and fall short of the Glory.It is a FREE gift.You can have forgiveness of sins and be perfectly righteous in God’s sight by accepting Christ’s atonement for you, by receiving Him as your personal Savior Believe in the completed work Christ accomplished on the cross. You must believe that Jesus substituted Himself for you,that He died for your sins,and that He was resurrected from death..Like He told Nicodemus”you must be born again” We must repent of our sins. Then learn of Him read His word and continue to be a doer of His Word. But remember you need no man to teach you. He will guide you into all truth.
    You need not believe that you are still in bondage to these sins.  These thoughts are strongholds of the enemy.

    I believe the difference between other athletes giving thanks to God for their talent and Tim Tebow is that Tim gives thanks to “his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” Most people don’t have a problem with God being thanked, because God can be whatever they believe Him to be.  The bone of contention has always been with Jesus Christ, because that means they have to face the fact that there is only “one” way that leads to eternal life…and that is through Jesus.     John 14:6 “I am  the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me.” People don’t like to face this truth.                                                                             Matthew 7:13-14 ” Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the path that leads to destruction. But small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”

       Human frailty becomes the tipping point in salvation we know in normal human
    activity we are imaginative in divine dogma and we like to think of an easy way to be
    accepted of God. So what happens when we become reborn that automatically accepts
    our wrenched ways why are we accepted when we still have evil in us. We still are corrupted  and are not worthy until we follow the covenant of Christ! What happens if we fail to do this or we decide to go back and live the way we were. Is it OK? Once God has accepted us will He still allow us in his kingdom. There are those that are so
    completely convinced they are saved when they beleive in the salvation of themselves,
    that the way God is is a needing being that needs us for his accompaniment. God
    needs us not! If we are against his laws and rules to continue existence! What a mess
    heaven would be if murderers and evil still was with us in His kingdom! would that
    be a perfect existence? God will not Heal us if we do not heal ourselves and learn how
    to follow Jesus Christ examples because these are the examples OF! Yahweh God.
    Deception is still the problem and like the Pharisees and Sadducees could not SEE!
    That the belief in our Creator is not for our Salvation! But is for the Manifestation of Yahweh God who Created Us! To be like Him. Not for Him to be like Us.
    He is the Glory and the Power! We are the dust. We have to renew our spirit of God’s
    true purpose of  God Manifestation! and not Human Salvation to exist in our Fathers
    Kingdom of Heaven. There is plenty of proof when and if your mindset chooses to
    look at the differences. But for some reason most wants it EASY! The Challenge is too
    hard for them to accept the change in truth.

  • thelionoftruth

       I thank God for you friend these are great scripture verses and they are what I
    am trying to get through to others that we are not automatically accepted,
    First of all these are statements given to his disciples! Not the world,
    The world goes as it may! But his followers are the important ones to know and
    understand the differences of God’s Word, and Laws to live by. The hopes of knowledge
    and understanding the TRUTH is those that accept God as their true Creator and only
    God knows what the needs of His Creation is to exist. The world that looks or studies not Accepts their fleshly way of their lives and Perishes. But and we still give the world
    an opportunity to come to God by following the details God gives us, His Holy Godly disciples in God’s Truth.   Amen
