Confession

 Jesus taught that believers must continue to seek God's forgiveness daily (Matthew 6:11-12). After salvation, Christians miss the mark (Philippians 3:12; James 3:2, 8, 4:17). That's why John said, " If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." Sins confessed to God will not hinder us from walking in the pure light of genuine fellowship with Jesus Christ. 

When a person dies, their spirit goes back to God and the body returns to dust  (Ecclesiastes 12:7). Believers go directly to heaven and nonbelievers seem to be sent to a temporary holding place to await their final resurrection, judgment, and eternal destiny. It will be a place of torment. So, the unbeliever will see God at the final judgment.

It is normal to not understand everything you read in the Bible. You need to find a good Bible-believing church. The pastor of that church and the deacons will be willing to help you in any way they can..

The fear of Hell

 The fear of Hell is also known as hadephobia. Hadephobia comes from two Greek words, Hades meaning Hell, and phobos meaning fear. So Hadephobia means fear of Hell.

  Hadephobia should not be part of a Christians life.  It’s true that Hell is real. It is a place where the unredeemed go, but you needn’t worry – if you have placed your faith in Jesus Christ, you are saved from that. Believers have the promise: “Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them” (Revelation 20:6). And there is this one: “Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who is victorious will not be hurt at all by the second death” (Revelation 2:11). 

Because Jesus took your punishment and now intercedes on your behalf you need not suffer from hadephobia. You needn’t fear ever being separated from God. 

Time and time again God tells us not to fear (Luke 12:32). There is no fear in love. 

If you are experiencing any kind of fear, including hadephobia, here are some practical steps to take:

1) Make sure you are saved. It is only the child of God who does not need to fear hell. The saved have the Holy Spirit—the Comforter—in their hearts.
2) Do away with anything that promotes mental images of scary things, e.g., horror movies, occult practices, etc.
3) If your fear persists, get qualified professional help, just to rule out anything clinical.
4) Fill your mind with God’s Word (Matthew 4:4). There is a reason why the Word is likened to food for your daily sustenance.

Baptism

 Baptism is significant in that it represents the forgiveness and cleansing from sin that comes through faith in Jesus Christ. Baptism publicly acknowledges one's confession of faith and belief in the gospel message. It also symbolizes the sinner's entrance into the community of believers (the church).

Ouija Board

Ouija boards are not “magical” boards nor are they providing you with the ability to talk to your loved ones who have passed away. When a person participates in playing with an Ouija board, they are directly communicating with demons. Satan and his demons are always trying to deceive mankind. 

Blood, Sweat

 Hematidrosis is a rare, but very real, medical condition that causes one’s sweat to contain blood. The sweat glands are surrounded by tiny blood vessels that can constrict and then dilate to the point of rupture, causing blood to effuse into the sweat glands. The cause of hematidrosis is extreme anguish. In the other gospel accounts, we see the level of Jesus’ anguish: “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death” (Matthew 26:38; Mark 14:34).

Bible

 Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the Lord. (Psalm 31:24)

1970's

 The Seventies Some Tidbits

The decade of the Seventies shows more than any other what happens when inflation goes out of control with prices, wages, interest rates and unemployment and most of the problems could be traced back to one thing that was a major factor OIL Crisis related to the war in the Middle East . At the worst time in mid 70's 1974 Inflation in the US was 11.3% and in the UK 1974 inflation was 24.3% And Interest rates ranged as high as 14.2%.
Most things goods and services doubled in price in just one decade

In 1970 a new house cost $23,400.00 and by 1979 was $58,500.00
In 1970 the average income per year was $9,350.00 and by 1979 was $17,550.00
In 1970 a gallon of gas was 36 cents and by 1979 was 86 cents
But the 70's gave us much more than just raging inflation and high interest rates
The US pulled out of Vietnam
The Watergate Scandal
A new genre of music appeared called Progressive rock featuring the likes of Genesis, Yes, Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Pink Floyd. Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Queen, Black Sabbath
The 70's also started using the tools invented in the 60's needed for the digital revolution including the transistor, and Integrated Circuits making things cheaper and more powerful ranging from Calculators to Televisions and the birth of the Home Computer and video games
One other important change which was also caused by the Oil Crisis was the quick uptake of cars from Japan which had smaller engines providing better gas mileage both in Europe and the US
With the 70's came a new generation of passenger aircraft capable of carrying many more passengers ( 747 ) making air travel cheaper and allowing the ordinary family to explore much further afield for holidays.
We can not discuss the 70's without including the liberation of women and the sexual revolution that allowed a more open discussion of anything to do with SEX
With the change in music came a new revolution in fashions carrying on from the more liberal ideas of the 60's of what was acceptable clothing

Forgivenesss always

When Jesus died on the cross He took all of our sins upon Himself. The Bible assures us God's forgiveness is not limited to what we remember (Romans 8:26-27; Psalm 19:12).

Exorcism

 Exorcism was practiced by various people in the gospels and the book of Acts. The disciples in (Matthew 10); others using Christs' name (Mark 8:38); the children of the Pharisees (Luke 11:18-19); Paul in (Acts 16); and certain exorcists (Acts 19:11-16). It seems that the purpose in Jesus's disciples performing exorcisms was to show Christ's dominion over the demons (Luke 10:17) and to verify that the disciples were acting in His bane by His authority. Also, it revealed their faith or lack of (Matthew 17:14-21). Miracles can be counterfeited (2 Thessalonians 2:9). Jesus said that some who are not truly His may still perform miraculous signs- including exorcisms- in His name. 

Romans-Jude also known as teaching portions of the New Testament refer to demonic activity but dues discuss casting them out nor does it exhort us to. We are told to put on the armor to stand against it (Ephesians 6:10-18).  Were told to resist the devil (James 4:7), to be careful of him (1 Peter 5:8), and bot to make room for him in our lives (Ephesians 4:27). We are not told how to cast the devil or his demons out of others or that we should even consider doing that. 

 As the Word of God was completed Christians had more weapons to battle the spirit world than did the early Christians. Casting out demons was replaced, for the most part, with evangelism and discipleship through God's Word. Since the methods of spiritual warfare in the New Testament do not involve casting out demons, it is difficult on how to do such a thing, or whether it is even necessary to do it.  It seems that it through exposing the individual to the truth of the Word of God and Jesus Christ.

RCC

  To deny that Roman Catholicism is a cult is to repudiate the reformation and mock the millions of martyrs who died at Rome's hands. The "Christ" of Roman Catholicism is just as false as its "Mary." Remember that a cult according to the Word of God is any group of people that worship anything or anyone other than Jesus Christ, and believe anything contrary to His word as recorded in the Bible.  Roman Catholicism is not truly Christian, but is in fact an offshoot of Christianity and the largest and oldest "Christian" cult in the world. In addition, the display of adoration, the gaudy parade of a mere man as if he were a god, the pandering to idolatrous worship through bowing down and kissing his ring, the insistence that he be addressed as "His Holiness the Pope" or "Father" of all Christians cannot but confirm to any Christian that the Roman Catholic church is a cult.

Civil War costs

 In 1879 the U.S. government released the official estimate of the cost of the Civil War as six billion one hundred ninety million dollars. That is one hundred forty- five billion eight hundred forty-one million nine hundred eighty-eight thousand five hundred forty- six dollars and thirteen cents in today's money. That's 2,256.1 percent increase in inflation since 1879. The Confederate side spent about half that amount. Over one million lives were lost total on both sides due to military engagements, naval battles, accidents, suicide's, sicknesses, murders, and executions. By 1905 another 3.3 billion dollars (87 billion 271 million 544 dollars, and 44 cents in today's money) was spent on pensions and other Federal benefits. Southern states and private philanthropy provided benefits to Confederate veterans. The amount spent on benefits eventually exceeded the cost of the war.

Patience

 God placed difficult people in your life for a reason: For you to practice what you say you believe. Without obnoxious people, how would you practice patience? Without mean people, how could you develop unconditional love? Without those who needlessly wrong you, how would you master forgiveness?

A false religion

 The most crucial problem with the Roman Catholic Church is its belief that faith alone in Christ is not sufficient for salvation. The Bible clearly and consistently states that receiving Jesus Christ as Savior, by grace through faith, grants salvation (John 1:12; 3:16,18,36; Acts 16:31; Romans 10:9-10,13; Ephesians 2:8-9). The Roman Catholic Church rejects this. The official position of the Roman Catholic Church is that a person must believe in Jesus Christ AND be baptized AND receive the Eucharist along with the other sacraments AND obey the decrees of the Roman Catholic Church AND perform meritorious works AND not die with any mortal sins AND etc., etc., etc. Catholic divergence from the Bible on this most crucial of issues, salvation, means that yes, Catholicism is a false religion. If a person believes what the Catholic Church officially teaches, he/she will not be saved. Any claim that works or rituals must be added to faith in order for salvation to be achieved is a claim that Jesus’ death was not sufficient to fully purchase our salvation.
