  We are living in a time of restrictions. Many people feel that their rights are being infringed upon. There are medical rights, and the rights of religious freedoms that come to my mind, in the mist of a global pandemic. Places of worship have guaranteed that people can still practice their faith, while at the same time guaranteeing the government that they will obey pandemic safety restrictions and public health measures. Many places of worship have had to restrict their congregations and some have had to close down permanently because of the restrictions.   Like many small businesses that couldn’t stay afloat because of lockdowns and restrictions, many people of faith have had to stop attending religious services because they are considered a “gathering” by some, who are opposed to people of faith “gathering” because of fear of contacting or passing on COVID-19 or one of it’s variants. Many people of faith have stopped attending church or other places of worship, because t...

  If we forsake God, He will forsake us. The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness,  19  since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.  20  For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. The bible goes on to say that although they could know God, they chose not to know Him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. God pours his wrath upon humanity when He clearly says that He can be known, but we choose to suppress that knowledge and truth, and live our lives like He doesn’t exist. God gave us life, and we will never be happy until we choose to believe in the Lord. People think they are smarter than God, and we feel that we don’t need ou...

  Does religious freedom impinge on people’s right to life? Do my religious actions during a pandemic put other people’s rights to life in jeopardy? What is the greater right? Religious freedoms or my rights to life and safety? When religious rights impinge on the rights to freedom and safety of other people, constitutionally the rights to freedom and safety win. It can be argued that without religious freedoms the rights to freedom and safety wouldn’t exist, but you would have to prove that without religion the rights to freedom and safety are self supporting. If it couldn’t be proved religious freedom would win. In a purely secular world you can argue for a self supporting right without the bible, but in a world that is still influenced by the bible it would be harder to prove, unless that country or world has drifted so far away from the bible, that it no longer recognizes it’s truths or availability. In that case, a self supporting right could be proved. Where do our rights com...

  The Law Reveals Our Sin. 7 “ Well then, am I suggesting that the law of God is sinful? Of course not! In fact, it was the law that showed me my sin. I would never have known that coveting is wrong if the law had not said, “You must not covet.”  8  But sin used this command to arouse all kinds of covetous desires within me! If there were no law, sin would not have that power.  9  At one time I lived without understanding the law. But when I learned the command not to covet, for instance, the power of sin came to life,  10  and I died. So I discovered that the law’s commands, which were supposed to bring life, brought spiritual death instead.  11  Sin took advantage of those commands and deceived me; it used the commands to kill me.  12  But still, the law itself is holy, and its commands are holy and right and good. 13  But how can that be? Did the law, which is good, cause my death? Of course not! Sin used what was good ...

  Isaiah 28:15 You boast, “We have entered into a covenant with death,     with the realm of the dead we have made an agreement. When an overwhelming scourge sweeps by,     it cannot touch us, for we have made a lie our refuge     and falsehood our hiding place.” The people had sinned to the point that God said they had made a covenant with death, and in verses 18 and 19 God said He would not have any of it,  Your covenant with death will be annulled;     your agreement with the realm of the dead will not stand. When the overwhelming scourge sweeps by,     you will be beaten down by it. 19  As often as it comes it will carry you away;     morning after morning, by day and by night,     it will sweep through.” He said that he would put an end to their wicked ways that the understanding of the prophet Isaiah’s message would bring terror...

  In Ephesians 2:12 the bible reads “that you were  at  that time without Christ, having been excluded  from  the citizenship  of  Israel, and strangers  from  the covenants  of  promise, having no hope and without-God in the world.”  It is talking about the current state of the world without Christ. We are living in times where people are heading for a Christ-less eternity. People die every day, and if you die without Christ you die in your sins. The reason why there is so much hopelessness in our world today is because our society has rejected the God of the bible. It is foolish to think that you can be a moral person without God. Our happiness depends on whether we will accept Christ, for without Christ one cannot be truly happy. Why is it that millions are living as if God doesn’t exist, and are denying the Second Coming of Jesus? Are they just content to live in their sins? God has judged most people for their rejection of...

  While it might be unwise to say the soul ages, it might be wiser to say the soul matures with age. The longer we live, the more things we experience. The soul retains all of our experiences in life, and through memory can replay those experiences. When we experience something happy, the soul remembers it, so in a way we can say the soul is shaped by the good and not so good experiences in life. The human soul has the capacity to experience and understand God, and this is what makes us different from other living beings like plants, and animals.   When the soul learns new things, it creates new memories and new experiences, so this would be the closest thing to it aging. Although it is proper to say that when we are in a physical body, the person is a whole being only as a body and a soul, so in this sense, the whole person ages. A human being isn’t just a soul or a body, they are both. So what happens at death is an unnatural experience because the soul is separated from the...
