I have discussions with other Christians of all kinds of denominations, mostly through the internet since I do not go to church. I learn on my own using a Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance to trace back every word to the original Hebrew and Greek languages. In some discussions I get points of view that are stridently defended which I cannot ascertain how they arrive to those particular conclusions. I get it that denominations teach certain doctrines, but the students fail to ask questions that should raise infrared flags. Easy questions.

The last discussion I had was with several at a time in which they all believe that every Christian was destined to become one. That any Christian is God’s elect, which means God’s chosen. I asked them “is every Christian destined to become one” since this was their obvious point of view. They never decided to ask themselves this question in this particular way and will not answer me. All they will do is point out verses twisted to their point of view. They won’t answer that particular question I asked because in their heart of hearts it doesn’t sound right. These are students of the Reformed Lutheran Church I was told. Really? Every Christian was destined to become one? What about everyone else? Why are they condemned for something they cannot do?

I pointed out to them the parable of the wedding feast which Jesus said many are called, but few are chosen. The best I got was that the parable’s meaning was within its direct context. If that’s the case, then it’s not a parable at all, is it? That would mean the parable of the mustard seed is only about mustard seeds. The parable of the workers of a vineyard was confined to those workers in the field, and so on. As I explained, it is written that Christians are the bride of Christ when he returns. The parable meant that many are called to be at this wedding but few are chosen. Obviously it doesn’t say all are chosen, so that means everyone that will be there cannot be chosen to be there. If there are people at this wedding that are neither chosen or called, then that's it. That should end that debate right there, right? Not for these people. I realize it’s hard to admit you’re wrong about certain things, especially if it’s coming from someone that you entrust to tell you the truth about God’s word. But it doesn’t get any plainer than the parable of the wedding feast that not all Christians were destined to become Christians.

If that’s not enough, then those that believe this should ask yourselves some simple questions:

1. Would only Christians be able to sin? God will not condemn those who are not accountable. If they cannot become a Christian, then how can they achieve forgiveness? If they cannot achieve forgiveness, then they shouldn’t be able to sin.

2. Is every Christian a prophet? Prophets were chosen before they were put in the womb, as is written of Jeremiah. They were not chosen for anything they’ve done in this life to become prophets. If every Christian was also chosen to become one, then what sets them apart from Jeremiah or any other prophet? Another thing, why even have prophets? They would serve no purpose if those who turn to God are destined to.

3. Should you speak about your faith? There’s a difference between expressing your faith and praising God. Should speaking about your faith be for you or for others? If it’s for others, which should be your answer, then it’s pointless, right? They cannot be swayed since they aren’t allowed to. Those who can be swayed are destined to find God anyway.

4. What did they ever do to make God choose them to become Christians, but not prophets? More leftovers from question #2.

5. What is the purpose of this life? Only those who were to find grace were supposed to find it. This life then means nothing. Our souls must be much older than our flesh since God chose Jeremiah before he was in the womb. So why have this life? Someone pointed out to me that what I'm not understanding is that this is about separating the sheep from the goats, not making sheep out of goats. I find that statement amazing and reminds me why I don't go to church. I'm sorry, but that's a garbage statement. We should not preach if the goats cannot be turned into sheep. If there will be no goats turned into sheep, then the divide already exists so again why have this life? OY!

The attacks upon God and those who believe in Him are becoming more sharp and mainstream in recent years. What these so-called personal geniuses don’t realize is that they are fulfilling scripture by doing so. I hear these masters of the universe say the darnedest things with such fervor and authority about things they know nothing about. They always have to add that little shot to those who believe, especially Christians, saying that they are uneducated and believe in just an adult Santa Claus myth. Nothing like putting those down that disagree. I don’t mind taking shots or giving them much, but those I give the shots to have cast the first stone.

Atheists are prideful hypocrites who say they are for equal treatment and harmony among all of creation, when in fact they want to be recognized by everyone else as being the great thinkers of our time and never miss an opportunity to try to get under the skin of their Christian coinhabitants. They try as hard as they can to stick out from amongst the crowd with their middle-child syndrome. They especially use Christian holidays to make sure that they are heard. Anyone that says they are insulted or offended at God being referred to in our currency or a nativity scene displayed by a town or city during Christmas season is lying to you. One can’t look at a dollar bill and get irate. One can’t look at people praising someone they believe to be their Saviour and feel like they’ve had their faces spat upon. This is their way of letting you know they are smarter than you because they don’t believe in God. They believe in evolution.

The intellectuals and atheists are big believers in evolution. That is their reason for being. This is their god, whether they like to think of it this way or not. Evolution is their god. The supreme prophet of the Evolution god was Darwin. A prophet who didn’t even believe the theory he proposed himself. With this belief, it allows them to live their life without restriction. Why have restrictions when there is nothing to answer for after their lives are done? This is a benefit for their belief. Possibly even an excuse to not use their own willpower to do things their conscience tells them not to do. “If there’s no God, I don’t have to listen to my conscience. My conscience is just my mind playing tricks on me, mastered by the society of the feebleminded believers who think certain things are wrong. My conscience does not exist.”

The sad thing is that their belief in evolution has questions that they can’t answer themselves. I used to frustrate fifty year old adults when I was a teenager before I even read the Bible with my questions to them. I would ask them questions like “if evolution is real, then how come there are still cockroaches?” The best answer I got was “well some evolved and some didn’t.” I thought evolution was constant. Why would some of the species evolve but some not? That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. There should not be dogs, birds, fish, mosquitos, or bears. If evolution really exists, then there should be at the most only a few species below us on Earth right now. Evolution is evolved. Evolved is evolution. Another question I asked was “if the Earth is four billion years old, is that enough time for an amoeba to make it all the way to a human considering there are well over a million different types of insect alone?” Seeing years of things they perceived to be facts erode on their faces was pretty sad to see. They didn’t like me much, those intellectuals, but they knew I was no fool. I heard one say “well there are different classes of species and that’s how it happened”. Well, how did they divide into those classes? What decision making ability was there to say “I’m going to turn into this now”? If a species adapts to that climate or environment, how do they change themselves? What creature was the first that said “I need a digestive system so I can nourish myself and excrete waste”, and then do it? If the first species to have nourishment from eating ate, they would die without a way to excrete the waste. That would be the end of that new species. For those who claim they are supergeniuses to the Nth degree, these questions they have not asked themselves doesn’t speak well of their thinking ability. Maybe they do think of those questions, but since this is their belief and it’s not in God, they’d rather just let it rest there and not wonder about things they don’t have the answers to. Willingly blinding themselves from their own accusation upon those they disagree, that Christians cannot think for themselves. Evolution is proof they cannot think very well. The true intellectual is the true fool. Even Bill Maher, who never fails to insult Christians, believes in evolution but admits something must have happened to get life started. DUH! Albert Einstein is known as maybe the smartest man in the last century, and he believed in God. He even went as far as to say that if anyone can look into the dark reaches of space and the glorious nature on Earth, and not realize there was a God to create it all is blind.

A favorite attack of these atheists and intellectuals upon those that believe in God say that there have been more people killed in the name of religion than anything else combined. Hogwash. Religion is just an excuse. Racism is at the crux of the matter when it comes to killing by the masses. Racism is the true reason. Religion, no matter what religion it is, is always the excuse. Before there were Irish Catholics and Protestants fighting eachother, there were the red and black Irish fighting. Before there were Sunni and Shiite, there were Arabs and Persians fighting. Look up your history. I know, again this is too easy to come up with, which reiterates my point that the true intellectual is the true fool.

Atheists say “how can you believe in something you can’t see?” I believe in love, but I’ve never seen love. I see the evidence of love everywhere, just as I see the evidence of God everywhere. Love cannot be seen by anyone. I know many atheists say that the Judeo-Christian God is invisible, like it’s written that He is somewhere in the Bible. Actually Moses saw God, but only from behind as God walked into the sanctuary as Moses and the Israelites roamed through the wilderness. Moses was not allowed to see God’s face, but he saw Him. Nowhere does it say God is invisible.

If an atheist is truly enquiring, then it’s good to talk about things of God. If you know things pretty assuringly, then speak with some authority. If you’re a product of traditional teaching, then I don’t suggest doing this because I can ask questions about your belief you cannot answer as well. This world is NOT seven thousand years old. Dinosaurs truly existed many thousands of years ago. Don’t let any traditional teacher fool you in stating otherwise. If an atheist is there to just rile you up and get under your skin by belittling what you believe in, then don’t cast your pearls. If they cannot admit the existence of their own conscience which is at no distance away from them, they aren’t ready to hear of the Truth far above their heads. God bless.

What God sees as a saint is far different than what men do. For some reason men have raised standards for sainthood far past God’s standards. The Catholic church makes it impossible in their own doctrine to become a saint. According to the Catholic church, a person has to perform three miracles in order to be qualified for canonization. That in itself is an error. No man performs a miracle. God does through that man or woman. That’s something the Catholic church should know on their own.

To become a saint in God’s eyes all a person has to do is have their faith in Jesus as the Messiah intact. Everyone who dies with their faith is a saint. Everyone. There are many, many saints upon this Earth right now. As is written in Ephesians 1:1, there were saints in Ephesus Paul wrote to. Those were just people who were Christians. People who accepted Christ fully in their hearts and humbled themselves before their Lord. Not people who brought fire out of the sky or healed the lame by having a missing limb grow back. As if men on their own had the ability to do that anyway. In Revelation 20 which is about the next age after Jesus returns, Jesus will reign on Earth with his saints for a thousand years. That is everyone who in this life has made the right choice will be here reaping their rewards and being with their loved ones, at least those who made the right choice. Not just those who Catholic doctrine says are saints.

So why do the standards of men far outreach the standards of God? An incredible amount of conceit, that’s why. That’s also why most teachers feel God’s elect are people who just chose Christ, even though the term is GOD’S elect. God’s choice, not man’s. Such highmindedness and self-empowerment is not what God wants us to have. To set standards higher than God’s isn’t something that makes God happy. That’s like saying to a soul that has done great things in the eyes of God “you can be His saint, but you’re not worthy of being one of ours. You should have performed three miracles which were all witnessed as well as this and that and then you could have joined us.” I’d rather be one of God’s saints than a saint in the eyes of men anytime anyway.

There are some silly candidates put forth by people as possibly being the Antichrist. George Bush, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and others. They’re not even worthy of commenting on other than those are just silly and stupid prospects as who the Antichrist might be.

There are enough clues in the Bible to at least tell everyone the origin of the Antichrist. In Daniel 7 it describes where the Antichrist will come from. It says that he will come from the fourth and last empire to take over Israel, and that it will be a reformation of this empire. In the redeveloping of this empire, the eleventh nation to join will be diverse from all of the others. This is the nation that the Antichrist will come from. The fourth empire to come was the Roman Empire. That means it will be a reformation of this empire that the Antichrist will come from. If I’m right and many others are also right, the European Union is the new Roman Empire. Look at what it’s done. It was at first a modest trade organization between European countries, and now it’s got its own army and now is the law of Europe. They brought forth the European currency, the euro. Great power lies with the EU, and that power is growing. What was the eleventh nation to join? Both Spain and Portugal came in at the same time and were the eleventh nations. So which is it? The headquarters of the EU is now in Madrid. When attacks upon and by Israel happen, Madrid steps in. If the EU is indeed the new Roman Empire, then he will most likely come from Spain.

1. King Juan Carlos of Spain: He’s the most well-known possible Antichrist. I have good reason to believe it is not him. He’s old. One thing the Antichrist probably won’t be. He does have a lot going for him. He’s the King of Spain. His royal blood is second to only one other man. His ancestor was once King of Jerusalem. He has a lot of power in Spain. He’s more than just a titled King. He does have responsibilities beyond the royal family in Britain. I still have a very strong belief it is not him.

2. Javier Solana: Some have looked at him as the Antichrist as well. He has a lot of power within the EU and NATO as well. He is Spain’s top representative to the EU on security matters. Again, he’s too old to be the Antichrist in my opinion. I’m more sure of him not being the Antichrist than King Juan Carlos.

3. Prince Felipe: The most credible Antichrist possibility. Pope Pius XII said that when Jerusalem is in Israeli control that it will begin “the countdown” towards the tribulation period. That happened in 1967 after the Six Day War. Prince Felipe was born in 1968. The Bible says that the number of his name will be six-six-six. Prince Felipe has two ways his name can fit in this. Known mostly as Prince Felipe Borbon Carlos, he also has six official titles. Prince of Asturia, Prince of Viana, Prince of Girona, Duke of Montblanc, Count of Cervera, and Lord of Balaguer. He is a good looking man. Lucifer was God’s most beautiful angel. He has all of his father’s royal blood and then some. His mother is the Queen of Greece. Not only will he inherit his father’s titles and has the same bloodline, but he has even more royalty in him than his father. Prince Felipe is the one that sticks out in my mind. It might not be him, but he has all of the qualities necessary. He to me is the most intriguing possibility.

Some might say “why debate about this”. Well why would God give us clues? There’s a reason for that. He’s not going to give us clues and expect us not to look into them. We are inching closer everyday to that day. It’s a good thing to keep your eyes opened. No matter who it will be, all will bow to him for at least a moment. Only the election of grace will not bow their knee at all. There will only be seven thousand of them when that day comes. The decision upon this creation doesn’t rest on if they ever bow their knee. It’s will they keep their faith at the end of the age. Will they stand their ground when they know what is right. Remember, the sounding of the seventh trump will remove the spirit of slumber upon this creation, and the mystery of everything is finished. That will be what is most important. All will know Jesus is the Christ and Satan is the evil one, but many will be so weak they will still fall.

The “Battle of Armageddon” is well recognized as the last battle between good and evil before the world ends. This is unequivocally wrong. First off, anytime the NT mentions the end of the world, that word “world” there is actually the Greek word ”αιων” (ahee-OWN) which really means “age”. Not world. This is true in Matthew 24:3 when the disciples privily asked Jesus the signs of his coming and the end of the world. That word “world” is really “age” in its original language. Secondly, there is a war mentioned after the supposed “last war on Earth”. It’s right there in Revelation 20, isn’t it? After Satan is loosened from his prison he gathers together those who believe in him to make war with the saints. So how is the Battle of Armageddon the last worldly battle between good and evil? It’s not.

As is written in the very important original Greek, when Jesus returns to Earth that will end this age. Not the world, but the age. After that there is a new age to begin. There is a whole thousand year period written in Revelation where Jesus reigns on Earth with his saints while Satan is in the bottomless pit, right? It’s been in the Bible the whole time, so why forsake this writing?

Armageddon comes from Megiddo, which is a large hill south of the Valley of Jezreel in northern Israel. This is where opposing forces come to try to take over Israel and especially Jerusalem. Satan at that point will be the Antichrist. To clarify, Satan will be here in the flesh after he is kicked down to Earth from heaven by Michael and his angels. For the first three and a half years of the great tribulation period, the Antichrist will be a human being with the spirit of Satan in him, but he will die. Three days later he will seemingly rise again but it will not any longer be a human being with the spirit of Satan in him. It will be Satan himself.

The nations that come to be the evil nations will be the eastern nations. Russia, the Arab World, China, and other eastern nations will gather at Megiddo and will be ready to invade. The nations fighting for Israel, hence Jerusalem will be the western nations. Not all western nations obviously. I’m speaking in general terms.

It is very possible that at the end of the next age that Satan and his followers will again come from Megiddo, but that’s not written in Revelation 20. Megiddo is the site of many battles of the past. To make that assumption could very well be correct, but that’s only an assumption one can make. It’s certainly not based on fact, so one shouldn’t assume it is anything but a mere possibility. As is written in Rev. 20, Satan and his deceived will be stopped by God. That will end the next age. Then the books will be opened and judgment is given. Not beforehand. Read with your own eyes and let God’s word explain itself to you. You will see that the Battle of Armageddon is not the last battle between good and evil before the end of the world. Take God’s word or the word of men. That’s your choice to make.

Was Jesus black? In one word…. uhhhhh no. Uhhhhh isn’t a word, so that doesn’t count. This is one of those things where people have twisted something written in the Bible to fit their own idiotic points of view. This is definitely nothing new. People years ago were killed for suggesting the Earth revolved around the Sun, even though it doesn’t say anywhere in the Bible that the Earth was the center of the universe. Men took it upon themselves to distort things to their liking.

Black theologians, such as Barack Obama’s former pastor Jeremiah Wright, have said that Jesus was actually black. Where do they get this idea? From Revelation 1:14-15 where it says Jesus had hair like wool and feet like brass. With something so small black religious zealots went “aha! Jesus was black!” Problem is in that vision of John of Patmos is that Jesus was brass. He was a candlestick holder holding the seven churches of Christ. Man, you really have to twist something really hard to come up with that meaning Jesus was black. Jesus was a Jew!

Of course that’s almost as ludicrous as the historical view of Jesus by white people that he was a pristine, blonde-haired, blue-eyed man of pale skin. Dumb. Jesus most likely had darker complected skin, brown eyes, and dark brown or black hair. History’s vision of Jesus is nearly as wrong as the contention that Jesus was actually black. Who comes up with this stuff? Aie aie aie.

The mystery of God’s elect, or the election of grace is a complex one. Some feel that every Christian is one of God’s elect. This is foolish. How can a person that chose Christ say that God chose them? That’s what God’s elect means. God’s chosen. The election of grace happened before this age started. Before the days of Adam. Grace is an act of God. The election of grace is the name of the people God chose before the foundation of this age. Simple as that. In Romans 11, Paul reiterates that the final generation will have seven thousand of these people. Paul states on his own that some have lived that were of the election of grace, but in the last generation there will be 7000. There will be more of God’s elect in the last generation than at anytime in this age’s history, because of the last generation’s importance. So anyone thinking that every Christian is someone God chose is quite conceited, not to mention foolish.

If this is the last generation, then there are only 7000 of these people. About one for every millionth person on Earth. Maybe that’s when things might get started. When the Earth’s population reaches seven billion people. One in a million. That’s just me thinking an enticing thought.

Jesus says that many are called but few are chosen. The chosen, being the election of grace, are also called. The difference is that the election of grace, no matter how hardheaded they are, will have to answer their call at some point. The call starts right around the time they turn 25. Not sure the reason for that, but maybe it’s because that’s when the person ceases in being a young adult and becomes an adult. God allows them to live their life for a period of time with restrictions, but then they have jobs to do. There are things that the elect aren’t allowed to do even before they are called.

The gifts the elect receive from their birth are bits and pieces of knowledge. They not only know there is a god, but they know who He is. They know who the Messiah is. They know the Bible is genuinely God’s word. If they have lost a loved one that has gone to heaven, they know they will see them again. It’s not a matter of faith or hope on these matters like with everyone else. No matter how strong someone’s faith may be, only the election of grace absolutely know. They just don’t have the proof until they answer their call.

If one of God’s elect refuses to answer their call, God will grind them down to a powder, figuratively speaking. God will make them humble if they refuse to humble themselves. In this generation, this may be the case with many of God’s elect. They may be prophets just like Paul, Ezekial, Daniel, Isaiah, and others, but they are human beings living in the worst generation in this age’s history. A froward and selfish generation. It may take time to separate the mindset of this generation from them, but eventually it will happen.

The job of God’s elect is to not make a choice, like with just about everyone else. They cannot falter. They are not allowed to bow to another. They are not allowed to be convinced to follow false christs and prophets. God will not let them. Even the most convincing of them, the False Prophet and Satan will not be able to convince the elect of anything that everyone for at least a moment will. Read Matthew 24. It’s not possible for the elect to be deceived. The job for the elect is to help those who need to make a choice make the right one. Such a great weight upon their shoulders for the sakes of the people of the last generation. To help save souls so God does not have to destroy them after the next age.

As I’ve written before, there is an age after this one. One that will last a little more than a thousand years. It’s all written there and made clear in the original Greek. Many times when the word “world” is written in the NT, that word in the original Greek is “αιων”, which really means age, as is the case in Matthew 24:3. Even though they are only here to help this creation, they will be hated by many but respected by all. Once one of the elect reaches to a point of great wisdom and Pentecost Day comes, everyone will know who the election of grace are. Will you let them show you the way to salvation, or will you have antipathy towards them when they tell you what you’re doing is wrong? At the end, will you be divided to the right or the left of Jesus? That’s up to you.

That’s a question that has perplexed man for centuries. Even moreso now does this question come up. Some of the answers from paranoid speculation are pretty funny. No, it’s not President Bush. The Bible does give clues as to who the antichrist will be and what his origin will be. Don’t just look at a world figure you don’t like and say “AHA!” That’s just dumb. Try actually reading for once.

In Daniel chapter 7 it tells of the origin of the antichrist. It talks about the number of world kingdoms that have conquered Israel. This prophecy says that one is yet to come. Their reign will not last forever but there will be a revival of this empire. Nowhere does it actually say revival but it mentions how this kingdom will reform. The kingdom that took over after Daniel was the Roman Empire, so where the antichrist will come from will be from the revival of this Roman Empire.

Many speculate that the European Union is this revival of the Roman Empire. I happen to agree with that speculation. This revival will have ten kings, which means countries, at first. Then the eleventh country from this revival of the Roman Empire will be diverse. This is where the antichrist will come from. It says the prince of that nation will speak great things against the Almighty. If the speculators are correct, then it will be the eleventh nation to join the European Union. The EU did start out with ten nations. The eleventh is a little foggy because Spain and Portugal both came in at the same time. So which one will it be if this is true? The eleventh nation, according to prophecy, will bring in three more. Spain had a big hand in bringing the next three countries. Also, the headquarters were moved to Madrid. This is where the power of the EU lies.

So if the speculators are correct, then the antichrist will have to come from the nation of Spain. Many wise Christians believe it is King Juan Carlos, but I have reason to believe it is not him. It’s certainly not President Bush, Barack Obama, Rupert Murdoch, Bill Clinton, or Spongebob Squarepants. It has to be a person from Europe, even if the EU isn’t what Daniel’s prophecy speaks of, and it has to be from the eleventh nation of this rising empire.

Now what will be the role of the antichrist? The antichrist is a human being with the spirit of Satan inside him. Halfway through the tribulation the antichrist will die. Yes, he will die. It will happen in a war with a wound to the head. Three days later he will seemingly rise again. Nearly all will be in awe, except for the 7000 members of the election of grace. When he seemingly rises again, it will no longer be the antichrist as a human being. It will be Satan in the flesh. It’s after the war in heaven, spoken of in Revelation 12, kicking Satan out of heaven and onto Earth that begins Satan’s reign as antichrist. He will have three and a half years of trying to convince everyone to accept him as their god. To simply just say you’re going to know he’s not will not prepare you for how convincing he will be or how needy you will be. It will feel like you need to accept him as your god just to stay alive and be better off. . He will play on every human weakness that will be exposed during the events of the tribulation period. It says in Matthew 24 that he and others will be so convincing that only the election of grace will not be convinced for at least a moment. The election of grace are not allowed to be swayed or convinced. Everyone else for at least a period of time will be.

I loved the movie “Raiders Of The Lost Ark”. The great thrillride of trying to achieve the most sought after religious artifact ever, and battling the Nazis at the same time. The third Indiana Jones movie “Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade” was another great one after another religious artifact, the cup of Christ. So where are these things? I’ll give you some answers before you don your leather jacket and bullwhip to look for them.

The ark of the covenant is nowhere on Earth. That’s that. Too brief? Okay, well I’ll elaborate. In Revelation 10:6 it says that the ark of his (God’s) testimony will be opened in heaven and there will be thunderings and such. The same things associated with the opening of the ark of the covenant. The ark of God’s testimony and the ark of the covenant are the same thing. What is God’s testimony? The Ten Commandments. What is this testimony inside? The ark. So you can all now stop your searching. It will never be found because it’s not here. I have to tell you, that’s a pretty easy one.

The other thing is the Holy Grail. The cup of Christ. As it is written, Jesus says anyone who drinks from this cup will have everlasting life. Again, this one is really pretty darn easy. He’s saying anyone who believes he was the Christ and died for our sins that they will have everlasting life. Notice he didn’t say “heaven”. You can read the blog “There Is A Difference Between Heaven And Everlasting Life” for more on that. There is no mug around somewhere you can find and drink that will allow you to be human forever. Sorry, it doesn’t exist. Jesus also broke bread and said this is my body. Was the bread pieces of his skin for the disciples to eat? Of course not. That’s sick. Neither was he saying if someone drinks from that cup that they live forever. All the disciples there drank from the cup. They’re all dead, but have everlasting life. Yep, pretty darn easy folks.

We are a very self-obsessed society these days. “It’s all about me” is today’s motto. You ask most people nowadays what they want most and they’ll answer “to be happy”. People look for happiness. Not looking to be content. Those who will look for happiness will never find it. Usually people want material possessions in order to be happy. “If I only got this, I’ll be happy.” Unless that person works out on making their souls right, they can never find happiness. They might as well search for the yeti if they don’t deal with their soul. Since many people don’t have a good grasp of their own soul, they are unhappy. The soul is a peculiar thing. It’s quiet. And the more a person ignores their soul, the quieter it becomes. At the same time, that soul will definitely make itself known. The person will feel uncomfortable and restless among other things. This is the soul’s way of attracting attention.

Every human being has three entities within them. There is the human mind, the human heart, and the God given soul. The human mind deals with things such as ego, believing in things it only sees, logic, and the desire or antipathy to fit in with the crowd. The human heart deals with the cares of this world, sympathy, love, and passion. The soul we all must take with us knows always what is right and what is wrong. Those who are in good touch with their soul are the ones who seem to always do the right thing.

The human heart and the human mind always disagree. They’re polar opposites of one another. The human heart and the soul usually agree while the mind and the soul usually disagree. The flaws of the heart is looking to explain the good things out of everything or showing kindheartedness to those even if it’s making them worse or does them no good. Giving charity to someone who’s hooked on drugs knowing what they’ll spend their money on is the wrong thing to do. Thinking you’re more compassionate than God is foolhearty. Because of the human heart possibly dominating your thoughts, you cannot take into consideration that there are more important things than one’s human body.

The human mind in this day and age is what seems to dominate people’s thoughts. Most are ruled by the mind today. Usually for a period of time after becoming an adult, the mind will take hold over a person. Being that the mind desires to keep control over a person, it’s hard to let it go. Even with questions like “why am I here” that everyone of us deals with on occasion, the mind will try to keep the person from actually looking. If the person looks to see why they are here, that may lead them on a journey of rediscovering their soul. Something the mind does not want them to do.

Because most of us are headstrong, we have little recollection of our souls even though the soul is trying to get each of us to notice it. Afterall, it is the only thing you take with you. Each of us has to answer for our souls. Nobody’s heart or mind is in danger of losing everything when all is said and done. It is our very souls on the line.

What must we do to get a hold of our souls? Don’t soulsearch. Don’t look to be happy. Don’t try to find yourselves. You want to make those bad feelings to go away? You want to be content and actually be happy? Then just drop everything. Let everything go. All these thoughts of striving to be happy you must let go in order to be happy. Complicated eh? It’s not as complicated as it sounds. Even with nearly everyone having the spirit of slumber, the Bible has the answers for you to find yourself. When you are able to foresake man’s influence on the Bible, realize God’s always right, and listen to your conscience you can get a good hold of your soul.

Since most everyone really is only here to make a decision, one must prepare themselves to make the right decision. When you reach the point of no return, which is it’s nearly impossible for you to make the wrong decision, you will be content and thus happy. You’ll have answers to many of your mysteries. You’ll know what you’re here to do. You don’t think God will reward you for getting to that point? Trust me, he will.

Because of the traditional teaching of men, most people assume that when the Bible speaks of going to heaven, then that equates it with everlasting life. They also assume since in the New Testament when it says one must go through Christ to have everlasting life, that they can’t get to heaven without going through Christ as well. Don’t be so quick as to make these assumptions. Why would God send a soul to a bad place after their death when they were unaware of Christ or didn’t have much of a chance to make that choice? Answer is He wouldn’t. God wouldn’t punish a soul for that. God does speak of innocence and how He does not punish those who are not held accountable for what they don’t know.

After this age ends, which is when Jesus returns, there is a new age to begin. Proof of that is in Matthew 24:3 when the disciples privily ask Jesus what the signs of his coming are and the end of the world are. That word “world” really isn’t world at all. In the original Greek, the word there is “αιων” (ahee-OWN) which really means age. The disciples were not only asking for the signs of the end of the age, but were saying when Jesus returns that this is the end of the age too. There is a whole thousand year period written of in Revelation where Jesus and his saints reign on Earth while Satan is imprisoned in the bottomless pit, right? It’s been there the whole time. Why do men forsake this writing? No idea. Once that millennium is over, Satan is loosened from his prison to deceive the world once again. Once that period of temptation is over, then that age ends as well. THEN the books are opened. THEN judgment is given. Not beforehand. Read without the influence of men and see that I’m right on this.

So what is the next age for? A last chance? For those who were not given the opportunity to make the right choice? To reward those who made the right choice? All of the above are correct. So, a good-hearted person who’s not a Christian can possibly get to heaven after this life. That is not my assumption to make however. I’m just saying it’s possible, maybe even probable. That isn’t everlasting life though. That’s not eternal. Someone who has led an evil life will have punishment after their death unless they repent. This is beyond a doubt. But that too is temporary.

Everyone either in this age or the next must choose Christ in order to have everlasting life. At the end of this age, everyone will know Jesus is the Messiah and that the Bible is genuine. The prophets of this age will be kings and queens in the next one. They will be charged with preparing those who still need to make a choice to make the right one at the end of the next age. For those who make the right choice in this age or the next one, they will have everlasting life. For those who make the wrong choice in the next age, they will cease to exist.

So when someone comes to you and says “what if a person led a good life but wasn’t a Christian, can they still get to heaven?”, now you have an answer. My gut tells me not only is it possible, but it’s most likely true. I’m as close to 100% sure of this as I can be without knowing for sure. Everyone though, will at some point have to choose Jesus whether it’s this age or the next one, but everyone will know what the right choice is. It will be up to them to show some strength and make the right choice instead of choosing the one that plays on their temptations masterfully.
