EVERYTHING LOST in EDEN COMPENSATED a MILLION-FOLD with SPECTACULAR REWARDS

When thoughtful and serious human beings reflect on the current (first half of the 21st century) conditions and ongoing evolution of all that is material, physical, and spiritual, many may well begin to DOUBT the goodness, love, and power of the Supreme Creator God who, according to those who believe in him, conceived, planned, and brought into existence all that is seen, heard, or otherwise experienced in one way or another.

Part 2

We continue our respectful communication with the Almighty Creator God regarding our “PUNISHMENT,” we describe as “truly often TERRIBLE.”

“Oh, dear Lord on High, pardon our boldness, but please consider just the very large number of birth defects, diseases, and traumatic afflictions such as cancer, serious heart problems, kidney failure, liver

failure, etc. that our physical body suffers. The list is very, very long! So many names, even strange, Latinized ones, for countless bodily ailments. From a simple headache to ugly, painful, incurable skin diseases, bone and joint disorders, countless gastrointestinal malfunctions, blood and lung diseases, wounds from light to frightfully disfiguring and crippling, incurable sexually transmitted dieseases, etc. And mental, emotional, and spiritual disorders and illnesses. Oh, this list is also very long! Then, DEATH! Inevitable DEATH! No matter what we do to postpone it. We end up here on this planet Earth, ALL OF US DEAD! Continuing reading...

Jesus of Nazareth: His TREATMENT of ROMAN GOVERNORS and MILITARY OFFICIALS.

Jesus of Nazareth. NOT racist, political, culture agenda driven, social agenda activist, religious sect leader, secular nation defender, theocracy promoter, religious hypocrite, religious charismatic Mammon and glory seeker, abettor of lawless rioters and criminal elements, fanatical supporter of total sexual freedom… for the “KINGDOM” he preached is “NOT OF THIS WORLD… NOT FROM HERE” (John 18.36) and NEITHER WAS HE, NOR IS HE!

Number 5 of 6

The case of the Roman centurion whose deathly ill servant Jesus healed. Luke 7:1-10

TWO EARTHS

Part 2

One of the reasons people who believe
that the “NEW EARTH,” currently invisible,
is, indeed, going to become a reality, is 
derived from their reasoning regarding the existence of a Creator God. They maintain he surely must exist because they observe everywhere the visible manifestations of his incredible INTELLIGENCE and POWER in the entire vast, extremely complicated material, physical universe, attributing to him its creation and permanence from its origin to the present. They deduce that if the Almighty Creator God, currently invisible, claims to be creating a “new earth" yet invisible, it would be entirely logical to believe him, for his very existence proves that a realm invisible to the human eye can and does exist.

​The American College of Pediatricians urges health professionals, educators and legislators to reject all policies that condition children to accept a life of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex as normal and healthful. Facts – not ideology – determine reality. All references are found within the text of the full statement. Continue reading the Seventeen Summary Points.

Three Questions for Today

A new “POPE” for the world?
NEGATIVE!

For Roman Catholics around the world, YES, and for non-Catholic politicians seeking to curry favor with Catholic voters, but NOT for the rest of the world's religious and political leaders.

Question. Since the Lord Jesus Christ explicitly and categorically commanded: “AND CALL NO MAN YOUR FATHER ON THE EARTH: FOR ONE IS YOUR FATHER, EVEN HE WHO IS HEAVEN" (Matthew 23:9), with what justification does the supreme leader of the Roman Catholic Church, headquartered in the Vatican, call himself “POPE?” “POPE,” from the late Latin word “papa,” derived in turn from the Greek πάππας (“páppas”), meaning “FATHER.” Roman Catholics call him “the HOLY FATHER,” “Most Blessed FATHER,” or “Most Holy FATHER.” This is a public, blatant, and massive violation of the very clear commandment of “CHRIST,” the only legitimate “HEAD of the CHURCH.” Ephesians 5:23; Colossians 1:18

Question. Why does Pope Leo XIV NOT OBEY Christ’s command? Among some possible reasons:

Despite having studied in Catholic educational institutions from his childhood until obtaining a Doctorate in Canon Law in 1984, he never read Matthew 23:9.

Another possible reason. He may be so terrifically convinced that the Ecumenical Councils of the past and present have the divine authority to amend the original teachings of Christ and his personally chosen apostles, or simply to ignore them, substituting their own interpretations, that he unquestionably follows their decisions even though they patently contradict the original Sacred Writings of the New Testament Christ sealed with his own blood. Matthew 26:28

And still another. Raised in the bosom of Roman Catholicism and with his mind and spirit completely imbued since childhood with the traditions, dogmas and religious-social-political culture of said religion, he became a virtual SLAVE to IT to the point of not caring that its doctrines and practices are completely lacking in clear biblical support, a reality that the renowned Roman Catholic historian and theologian Hans Küng DID COME TO UNDERSTAND to a remarkable extent. Many of this man´s writings are available in English. For example, the large volume “The Church.” A list is included in the article on Hans Küng in Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_K%C3%BCng#English_translations

Question. Are Roman Catholic cathedrals the face of Pure Christianity? Click HERE for the biblical answer.

The “FIRST EARTH” and the “FIRST HEAVEN PASSED AWAY…and NO PLACE WAS FOUND for THEM.”

 “NEW HEAVENS and a NEW EARTH” take their place. CELESTIAL, HEAVENLY, in the SPIRITUAL REALM.

TWO EARTHS

Part 1. The "FIRST EARTH" is the material planet EARTH. Its DESTINY.
A SHORT STUDY on this PAGE

Will Planet Earth Continue Existing Eternally?

Only one KEY Bible verse is needed to understand and prove absolutely that IT WILL NOT. The verse is 2 CORINTHIANS 4:18.

“…while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which ARE SEEN are TEMPORAL; but the things which ARE NOT SEEN are ETERNAL.”

Since Planet Earth and the universe of which it is a part are "things" that can be "seen," they definitely “are TEMPORAL.” And, since they are temporal, they absolutely are not eternal!

llave-biblia-oro-700-Export.jpg

​Consequently, “the knowledge of his will [that of the Creator God] in all spiritual wisdom and understanding” (Colossians 1:9), demands that any religion, theology, or philosophy which asserts that they will continue existing eternally has to be classified as “WRONG, MISTAKEN, MISGUIDING” on a grand scale. For example, the relevant doctrines of the Jehovah’s Witnesses. In the light of this ONE KEY TEXT, just ONE, so simple and clear, all of their arguments affirming the "purification of this material Earth and its eternal existence as a new edenic paradise" fall apart and turn to gray dust, however convincing they might seem to minds not blessed with full “knowledge… spiritual wisdom and understanding.” Logic and common sense dictate that all relevant Bible texts relating to the duration of Planet Earth be interpreted in the light of this one, elementary key text.

Dear reader, do you see how easy it is to learn and understand the fundamental teachings of the pure gospel brought by Jesus Christ from God the Father for the salvation of the whole world? John 8:26-40. The “KEY” is to recognize the KEY TEXTS. The plain and simple ones. So clear and straightforward that their meaning cannot be missed, and will not be missed by the honest, unbiased seeker of Divine Truth. Who will not be so rash as to dismiss them, trash them, deny them, disobey them, allowing false interpretations and personal opinions to trump them.

The relevance of this subject for your life and mine? By accepting that “the things which are seen are temporal,” that is, that matter is not inherently eternal, an affirmation seconded by large numbers of astrologists, physicists, and other scientists, I confront, basically, two options.

The first: That I be RESIGNED to the end, the cessation, the death, sooner or later, of all that is visible, even of all matter, whatever its form may be, including “dark matter” and the smallest elements of atoms such as quarks and gluons. That I accept it, however reluctantly, as an inescapable reality but choose to believe that there are no consequences whatsoever for me after that definitive “END” of my physical life, that “END” of all things physical and material in the whole universe.

The second: That I accept that “all things which are seen are temporal” and also its counterpart: “the things which are not seen are eternal.” That I accept both affirmations as facts. That I think long and hard about the significance and consequences of those facts. That I proceed to procure the ETERNAL. A concept which, thankfully, I am able to understand and appreciate if I set my mind to it. A power that, in and of itself, signifies that I am more -much, much more- than just a physical, material animal!

My own investigations of the “Dimension of the Eternal”  include the Bible, especially the New Testament, where I see “eternity,” “the eternal,” the “everlasting,” set forth as a marvelous, highly desirable, attainable state for every human being who seeks “glory, honor, and immortality.”  This “state” of eternal existence in a new, powerful, glorious, spiritual body, in a perfect “NEW EARTH” of a celestial nature I find to be infinitely superior to that “state of eternal nothingness” after the death of the physical body, a sad "state" held to be the endless, empty fate of those humans who choose not to believe in the “eternal” of the "only true God," the Creator. John 17:3

I, then, have accepted this second option. What is your choice?

Jesus of Nazareth: His TREATMENT of ROMAN GOVERNORS and MILITARY OFFICIALS.

Number 1. There is no authority except from God who sets up rulers and removes them. A five-minute read highlighting the authority that God the Father and Jesus Christ categorically affirm they have over the nations and kingdoms of men. They cede the Dragon-Serpñent-Satan limited authority and power to interact with them, as he does with the First and Second Beasts of Revelation.

A five-minute read highlighting the authority the only true and living God categorically affirms he has over the nations and kingdoms of men, with essential information shown on a slide composed of a flat map of the world, continents in dark red and black, concise texts, and three images of entities also claiming authority.

Number 2. The powerful and instructive drama of GOD, the Woman Clothed with the Sun, her SON who rules "ALL the NATIONS with a rod of iron," the "Great Red Dragon," and King Herod the Great portrays the limited authority and power the  Satan is allowed by God to have over nations, rulers, and peoples. Short read. Slide with relevant images and concise texts.

​Number 3. Why Satan’s offer was truly valid. God the Father and Jesus the Messiah allow Satan to be “the GOD of this WORLD,” the “RULER of this WORLD.” To influence politicians, judges, state employees, educators, the military, and citizens in general but not force them to be his subjects. An image of Jesus and Satan standing on a high ledge and contemplating scenes of kingdoms on Earth, plus concise texts, compose a powerful slide. Very short read.

Number 4. When the name of Jesus had become known to King Herod Antipas of Galilee, some Pharisees came to Jesus warning him that Herod wanted to kill him. Jesus responded: “Go and tell that FOX: 'Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures…” Is that action of Jesus a precedent authorizing religious people to publicly, crudely shout out their contempt for politicians and secular rulers? A PowerPoint slide with the text presented below the image.

Number 5. "The Case of the Roman Centurion Whose Deathly Ill Servant Jesus Healed." Luke 7:1-10. Jesus’ treatment of the centurion is a superlative model for Christians and all other people of the 21st century. He respectfully listens to him. He does not rebuke and reject him outright for being a Gentile and officer of the occupying Roman army. Jesus, upon hearing the centurion express a very strong faith in him, praises the officer, granting him his petition.
