I have deleted my Blogger of Article X, however, I have made one on the Wordpress instead.
You can visit it when you view my profile and it says,'web page'. Also, it is still going to be for my story writings.

I'm back.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. But now, here...

I went to one of my Mothers diabetic classes the other day and for quite a while I was zoned out trying to think of some stories write, up until the doctor said, 'a normal healthy person can live up to forty days with out food or water and be alright.' Almost instantly I thought of Jesus temptation.

In Matthew 4:2 it says Jesus fasted forty days and forty nights, Moses and Elijah also fasted forty days and forty nights. However, Jesus was tempted.

I can't even go a whole day without food let alone forty days. If you think about it, he was probably a few days away from some organ shutting down, in other words he was near death. Knowing us being sinful men and women we would have sinned so quickly we wouldn't have even contemplated whether or not we were sinning. It was just interesting to think about and it shows the awesomeness of what Christ did and it shows his strength. Not to mention how big of a temptation it was!

On another note, I really get annoyed when I hear people say 'we are all Gods children and he loves us' like he is some cosmic Barney. We all ARE NOT his children, I know it might seem harsh but he calls some people children of the DEVIL. In John 8:41-44, some people were saying they were children of God, however, Jesus said their father was Satin.

John 8:42 “Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent Me.”

So people need to not call EVERYONE children of God, some of them are children of the devil.

And another thing I thought about recently, why do people ALWAYS see Jesus on that bark of tree or on a Cheeto? You even type in the internet search and the third thing up is the 'Jesus Cheeto'. Why doesn't anyone find Satin? Not that you would want to but apparently no body was looking for Jesus either...right?

Oh boy!

Good Ol’ voice of 'Change' is at it again, he is trying to pass a bill where, if kids want to go to college, they have serve for their community (aka the government) now boys and girls can we say "Socialism". These are not like summer camps, more like those Nazi re-education centers like in that one movie, Swing Kids. It’s bad enough that kids get indoctrinated in public schools , now they have to join these centers if they want to get a college education, so much for freedom of choice. I guess that only applies when you want to kill a unborn baby.

It’s called Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act (Give act)

From the Misc. section, #6104: (6) Whether a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed, and how such a requirement could be implemented in a manner that would strengthen the social fabric of the Nation and overcome civic challenges by bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds.

Can some one say ‘Black mail’, so much for ‘Volunteerism’.

In SEC. 1201. School-Based Allotments. `(A) ensure that students of different ages, races, sexes, ethnic groups, disabilities, and economic backgrounds have opportunities to serve together;

Note; it does not say religion. This is a chance for them to take kids and young adults and bring them to these centers to indoctrinate them with their views. We need to learn and study the Word of God as much as we can; we might not have our bibles much longer.

It would also appear that the new government is trying to make it illegal to grow your own food, trying to control what we eat.

And of course the gun law, it is NONSENSE! We have a RIGHT to bare arms; as said in the second amendment.

I strongly believe there is a hidden agenda.

And isn’t it funny how when the voice of 'change' passes the bill about embryonic stem cell research and then two days after, HE PUTS A BAN ON THE EMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCH!
I mean, is he really that power hungry that he’s saying all this about Bush and how he vetoed that bill, then HE passes it and then BANS HIS BILL HE JUST PASSED TWO DAYS AGO!!
Come on, my head hurts already!

Forgiveness

Matthew 18:21-35

Then Peter came and said to Him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Up to seven times?"
Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.
For this reason the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his slaves.
When he had begun to settle them, one who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him.
But since he did not have the means to repay, his lord commanded him to be sold, along with his wife and children and all that he had, and repayment to be made.
So the slave fell to the ground and prostrated himself before him, saying, 'Have patience with me and I will repay you everything.'
And the lord of that slave felt compassion and released him and forgave him the debt.
But that slave went out and found one of his fellow slaves who owed him a hundred denarii; and he seized him and began to choke him, saying, 'Pay back what you owe.'
So his fellow slave fell to the ground and began to plead with him, saying, 'Have patience with me and I will repay you.'
But he was unwilling and went and threw him in prison until he should pay back what was owed.
So when his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were deeply grieved and came and reported to their lord all that had happened.
Then summoning him, his lord said to him, 'You wicked slave, I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me.
'Should you not also have had mercy on your fellow slave, in the same way that I had mercy on you?'
And his lord, moved with anger, handed him over to the torturers until he should repay all that was owed him.
My heavenly Father will also do the same to you, if each of you does not forgive his brother from your heart."

This parable of Jesus is a great example on how just God is. This is what God means when he says to forgive. As you can see, the king forgave (pardon) and had mercy on the slave when he was in deep debt. Then the slave turned around and did not have mercy on the other slave that owed him. This shows you why we should forgive, for God spared us from the great debt in our lives that WE owe. How can we expect God to forgive us when we don’t forgive our neighbor?
Another demonstration of God’s mercy and forgiveness was the sacrifice of his son. Back then we had to stone adulterers and now we don’t, because they had no sacrifice to cover their sins. We are now under a new covenant because of Christ’s blood; our sins no longer need any other sacrifice. The Old Testament (covenant) laws were for back then; the ones we need to follow are in the New Testament (covenant).

We no longer need to stone anyone anymore.

1Corinthians 6:11 such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

There are some people that God just gives them over to their sins.

Romans 1:24 Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them.

It makes me sad to know there are some people that might not ever be saved. The ONLY way you can have forgiveness is to repent of your sins and put your trust in Christ, and then your sins will be pardoned.

If you have sinned and still feel wretched after repenting of those sins, know that God has forgiven those sins. Pray that you will not fall back into those sins.
