There is absolutely no way that TRUE PEACE and PERFECT HARMONY can EVER be brought about WITHOUT the ETERNAL established RIGHTEOUSNESS of ALMIGHTY GOD (Isa. 32:17, 48:18,22). Almighty God’s whole ETERNITY and physical universe was established based on the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS PERSON of the TRIUNE GOD! How deceived are we as humans and totally delusional to think that we as Adam’s fallen race could establish a PERFECT world and enter into ETERNITY without the required RIGHTEOUSNESS that Almighty God demands (1 Cor. 6:8-11, Gal. 5:19-21, Rev. 21:8, 22:14-15).
We are a smashed and broken egg with absolutely no way our repairing ourselves.
We are a smashed and broken egg with absolutely no way our repairing ourselves. 6000 years of human history testifies to the fact that we are a violent and lawless race with death as our future and destiny (Rom. 3:23) and on our way to total destruction. If it had not been for Almighty God’s outside intervention holding back the full accumulation of violence of mankind we would have been extinct a long time ago (Matt. 24:21-22, 2 Thess. 2:6-8). Isn’t it amazing that as American’s listen to our leaders in Washington D.C., the media (conservative and liberal), Hollywood and the music culture and industry preach utopian ideals unto them that the majority of the world sincerely believe that lie from hell, which is if we just keep working at “peace” (give peace a chance) that we will one day finally achieve it?
How deceived are we as humans and totally delusional to think that we as Adam’s fallen race could establish a PERFECT world and enter into ETERNITY without the required RIGHTEOUSNESS that Almighty God demands.
My friend, let's wake up and get real! There is NO WAY that a smashed egg can EVER again be put perfectly back together and there is NO WAY that this broken world can EVER fix itself. This vain utopian pursuit is the ultimate delusional chasing of the devil’s cattle. At the end of this vain delusional chase the world will tragically finally find out the REALITIES of time and ETERNITY that they have REJECTED their whole lives (Luke 16:22-31, Heb. 9:27, Rev. 20:11-15). It will be in that Day that these will be fully AWAKENED from their self induced godless hypnotic delusion and will FULLY understand that their lawless self willed existence here in time has led them straight into the slaughter house of the ETERNAL Divine Judgment and wrath of Almighty God (Rom. 1:18-32, 2 Thess. 2; 8-12, Rev.20:11-15).
This vain utopian pursuit is the ultimate delusional chasing of the devil’s cattle.
Almighty God calls out to all in these last days to the receive REALITY, TRUTH and RIGHTEOUSNESS and to be SAVED from the wrath to come (John 3:16-17, Acts 17:30-31, Rom. 2:4, 1Tim. 2:3-4)! My dear friend, your Creator has a glorious future for you IF you would only receive it (John 1:12, 3:16-17, 1 Cor. 2:9, Rev. 21, 22:1-5). Have you been living in a delusion about life, this world and your ETERNAL future? My dear friend put aside your subjective pride and be objective and believe and receive the Savior. You will NEVER EVER be the same!
The Kingdom of Heaven is ta hand!
1Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
Proofreading is not a sin.
How did you arrive at that number?
Kingdom of Heaven is ta hand....
My hand or yours?
I’m thinking the poster means recorded human history.
Just great...now I got it I’m my head too..just had to go to the link :-)
An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
A’plowin’ through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw
Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
Ghost riders in the sky
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Their horns wuz black and shiny and their hot breaths he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
For he saw the riders comin’ hard and he heard their mournful cry
Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
Ghost riders in the sky
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, and shirts all soaked with sweat
They’re ridin’ hard to catch that herd but they ain’t caught them yet
They’ve got to ride forever in that range up in the sky
On horses snortin’ fire, as they ride on, hear their cry
Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
Ghost riders in the sky
As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name
“If you want to save your soul from hell a’ ridin’ on our range”
“Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride”
“A-tryin’ to catch the Devil’s herd across these endless skies.”
Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
Oh dear God...I’m such a rube. I went to that link too. Lol
Another great song sung by Frankie Laine...
Yeah, but did it work at getting Ghost Riders out of your head?
It is not a case of right thinking that is needed it is the conviction of sin that only the Holy Spirit ministry can convict on sinful mankind. If you can logically reason to be objective and believe then you can also logically disbelieve too. That is why the Father has sent the Holy Spirit to convict of sin and the need for salvation from our sinful natures.
Without conviction and repentance there is no salvation.
Yep. Thanks much:-)
GRITS is like House Of The Rising Sun, to me.
I sort of ‘collect versions’.
At the risk of blowing my whole “heavy metal hellcat” rep, ere are some of my top picks
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5Jcr6PcATs
[I have a fetish for Welshmen...sue me]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwwdKeItexA
[the almighty Marty]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMz8XRGxZdY
[the immortal Duane Eddy/Guild/Gretsch & Gibson..rich, thick sound]
While we’re on it, my picks for the top two versions of HOTRS
Brian Johnson [with Geordie, pre-AC/DC...yes, he can actually sing very well]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPab0qMd-V4
Tied with Frijid Pink
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czQB6tPeLQg
They both “sing it like they lived it”.
The local bar bands dread me requesting it because I grade them on that curve and that’s always my critique if they don’t do it “right”; “You didn’t sing it like you’ve lived it”.
And for something totally different yet agonizingly, brilliantly beautiful
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pR1tOVd4PCk
Two songs, one of the sorrow of being utterly lost melded with the ultimate song of being found.
[yeah, my iPod playlist is all over the place]....;D
