1/4 Here’s how to be saved from your sins:
There is no one righteous, not even one. Romans 3:10
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.Romans 3:23
the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.Romans 6:23
Truth. Jesus also said, “Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.” So the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.” Therefore they picked up stones to throw at Him, but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple.”
John 8:56-59 NASB1995
“And He [Jesus] is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,”
Hebrews 1:3 NASB1995
“The most important thing is sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ every single day. The second most important thing is making sure you can do the first thing.”
My husband dedicated his life to protecting the freedoms given to us by our Creator and ensured by our Founders.
I’ll forever be inspired by the wisdom in his words. I pray they inspire you too, not simply to cherish the freedoms we’ve inherited, but to defend them so our children and their children inherit them too.

“Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; For I am God, and there is no other. I have sworn by Myself, The word has gone forth from My mouth in righteousness And will not turn back, That to Me every knee will bow, every tongue will swear allegiance. They will say of Me, ‘Only in the LORD are righteousness and strength.’ Men will come to Him, And all who were angry at Him will be put to shame. In the LORD all the offspring of Israel Will be justified and will glory.””
Isaiah 45:22-25 NASB1995
““Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation; and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great.””
Luke 6:46-49 NASB1995
““Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” Matthew 5:11-12 “Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.”
Matthew 5:16 NASB1995
@farmingandJesus Yes, read & pray the Psalms. Remember, the “What if’s” are lies. Focus on the Word of Truth! The attacks will definitely lose their power when you remember God’s in control & you choose to trust Him! 😊🙏💕💒
Jesus said, “Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.”
Matthew 19:4-6 NASB1995
Thanks for your respect, truly! 😊 I hope you know that I will be praying for you Sally Jean! I don’t know what caused you to turn from your previous belief, but I do believe that if we’re really seeking to know what is true, the Lord will reveal it to us. I long for you to open yourself back up to Him! May God Bless you! 🙏💒
The lesson to learn from Sodom & Gomorrah is that God is Holy. He judged these cities because of their sins, at least one of which was obviously homosexuality (Genesis 19:4-5) Unless one repents of their sins, God will Righteously judge all of our sins. He has to in order to give us eternal life in a perfect Heaven. So Jesus came & willingly died for us! He became sin for us!! So God offers you & each of us the Free Gift of eternal life in Jesus Christ! That’s good news!! Please repent & believe on Jesus today!!😊🙌🙏💒
Abraham came from Er in Mesopotamia, considered to be modern day Iraq, not Iran. But I don’t think you really want to infer that people from the area of Iran because according to you, “some of which with high likelihood were brain-disordered, i.e. temporal lobe epilepsy/similar” therefore Abraham probably had a brain disorder? Imagined things & didn’t know reality from fiction? That could cover a lot of people from that area even today that might take exception to your argument. Besides Epilepsy causes seizures & things related to that. It doesn’t make epileptics insane or lunatics, or people who can’t separate reality from what they imagine. I don’t think you want to infer that either.
Also from what little I’ve read, in Zoroastrianism there were other gods, such as Yazatas, Mithra, etc., but Ahura Mazda is supposed to have won his way to the top of the gods. This religion isn’t the same as Jewish/Christian monotheism, which dates back well before Zoroastrianism beliefs were written down. Jewish/Christian monotheism teaches that the One True God has always existed, & there has never been, nor will there ever be, another god.
Finally, where are you getting your information on the errors & tampering of the Bible? Because that’s simply not true from what I’ve read & heard. If you’re talking about the original writings in Hebrew, Aramaic, & Greek, take a look at these articles for a start. (https://t.co/OFfHwYrVmv , https://t.co/4AjX0JAABh) Also, you can read this book: Cold-Case Christianity: A Homicide Detective Investigates the Claims of the Gospels. If memory serves me correctly, the author is a cold case detective. He wasn’t a Christian, but he applied his detective investigative expertise to the Bible, & he became convinced it’s true.
If you’re talking about the English translations, anyone who’s ever studied another language or even looked up definitions in English, knows that a word has several different meanings, & has several synonyms. The different English translations are simply trying to accurately translate the original languages to be best understood in English, the same way anyone interpreting one language to another does.
As for 2nd century church fathers’ lies, where do you get that info also? Again, the church fathers were all sinners just like you & me. Their comments don’t negate the accuracy of the scripture.
I hope this helps explain things a little better! 🙏😊
What “12 biblical authors” are you referring to? There are around 40 authors of the 66 books of the Bible.
And they certainly don’t say God did not judge Sodom & Gomorrah because of the sin of homosexuality. In Genesis 19:5, where the account of Lot is: “and they called to Lot and said to him, ‘Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have relations with them.’”
I’m certainly not defending Lot for his decisions. (But his daughters were the ones who planned, & who got him drunk to have children by him.) Lot wasn’t perfect. He was a sinner in need of salvation like every person ever born, except for Jesus.
