..and walk as men?

Image
For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? 1 Corinthians 3:3 (KJV)   This blog is actually a commnet I did on another blog, " Christian World View"   one very dishearting thing I came to realize is that the Christian View of this world is tainted by the Christian rrealizees that experiences.  And  even though a person may  say he or she is renewed of mind, many have not become a new creature or if they have its not the creature God intended I'm sure.  Below is my response to  that bloging community, (the comment was not addressed to everyone in the community)  about our new President, Barrack Obama. I was in shock at the harsh and almost hateful  posting by this group of men and women who call themselves Christains.  I have stop taking the apologetic road for the success of my people and the election of President Barack Obama. I will no longer ...

Attributes of God

Image
In the next few bloggs I will address what I call the five attributes of God. I've heard about other  having as many as 40 different Attributes of God but when I investigate them i found they all fell into 5 major attributes. Sometimes attributes are mistaken for characteristics but they are clearly different. Attributes are the things that we can know or identify as ( not with) God. Characteristics are those thing that God expresses toward man. For example height, weight, and hair color are all attributes of a man, while kindness, a deciteful and abrasive are characteristics of a man. God's Characteristics are forgivining, merciful, gracious, longsuffering, kind and never forsaking. Assuming this to be true here are the five attributes of Attributes of God Omnipresence of God Omnipresence (Part 1) The Theophany of Omnipresenc e God Omnipresence in Us Omniscience of God What is the Omniscience of God? The God Who Takes Risk Omnipotence of God ...

A Religious Heart Towards God

Image
  2 Timothy 2:15    Study to shew thyself approved unto God  So many pastors teach getting rid of your intellect and resting on the Holy Spirit,in your walk with Christ. If there is no training on how this is done or if the convert is new to the faith can be just as if not more dangerous than relying on your intellect.  It is our intellect that allows us to discern right form wrong, in fact our intellect is needed to even read the Bible. But some think that you must let go of intellect as if it was without value.However it is the religious mind that allows us to rightly divide the Word of Truth.  No Pastor will instruct you to go to Buddah for salvations, but they will ask you negate your intellect for understanding. This concept of negateing our intellect is not very different than the easteren forms of meditation where one is expected to empty his mind.  Daniel, Joseph and King Solomon were all men of extreamly high intellege...

I know Why the Caged Bird Sings

Image
Its Funny, when how you think you know someone and later find there is more to him then the you thought. Sometimes you are happy to learn this new thing; sometimes your new knowledge grieves you. i had subscribed to a blog by J.Lee Grady called Fire in my Bones i read this blog each day it showed up in my email. i don't always agree with Mr. Grady but that's find I don't always agree with myself. In his article " What Barack Obama Must Learn from Barak of the Bible " Mr. Grady parallels President Barack Obama task for his term as president with the Barak of the Bible duties. i thought to myself “what a wonderful article” at the bottom of the article is a link to a discussion forum. i hadn’t joined before but I wanted to comment Mr Grady on his excellent article. When i finally got access to the forum i was shocked almost to tears at what these so called Christians had written. i stopped for a moment and my mind wondered to a poem by Paul Laurence Dunb...

Audacity to Pray

Image
As Barack Obama takes office as the 44 th president of the United States , his name is in the prayers of many people though out the world.  For many people of African-American decent it’s the pride they feel knowing that a man of color can rise to the highest office in the world. For others it’s the Audacity of Hope that maybe this time we will have a president that will remember his fist duty is to serve the people not his own personal gain. For some their prayers are that he does not screw up this great nation or take away what they imagine they already have, and for even others, sadly, anger and hatred, prejudice and bigotry piety and self-righteousness pierce their lips in prayer each night. This from those that who say they are of God. But no matter what the case this man, Barack Obama whose first name means blessing has been raised to the office of The President of the United States by God Himself All Mighty ( Psalm 75:6-7 ) and has caused men, be it by pride, or by...

Why i cry every Christ-Mas

Image
  Please Read new post Stealing Christ from Christmas Over the last 15 years I have always had a unusual reaction to the winter holiday season. I got sick, sick physically, emotionally, and spiritually. At a time when most people claimed to see the seasons joy, I saw in people the season's pain. I instinctively expected to see old women in Macy's almost going to blows over the last gift on sale. I knew crowed public transportation would be filled with disrespectful, inconsiderate and just plain old mean people, out not to express the beauty and glory of our Lord Jesus Christ, but the selfishness of prideful, peer-pressured gift giving season, symbolized with an imaginary figure in a outdated red and white suit.  Can we give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endurtheth forever? Is that so hard to do? Isn't it what we are supposed to be doing?  More Children know the fable of santa clause than the Life and ministry of Jesus Christ. They are forced to...

Changing the Mind of God

Image
I've wrestled with the concept of changing God's mind for a while and was somewhat confused about this until I realized that it is not The FATHER that Changes, After all our FATHER is Immutable and therefore never changing.  Malachi 3:6 God Declares “ For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. ”  Here we see that by his own word that The FATHER does not change. So what does it mean when it says that God repented or changed His mind? First, when we think about immutability we should not think that God does something this way and only this way, but just as a father or mother may treat all their children equally they may not treat them all the same. For some children, a stern look is an acceptable discipline, for others harsh words, and even others Proverbs 23:14 (Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.) Likewise, The FATHER is the same God never changing in his desires for man. In his awesome...
