Just found him about a month ago and I love his messages. God has helped me a lot through him to push me forward in obedience and get tougher! He challenges me! He’s a gem.
Wow. I sinned today and I felt terrible. Jesus blood washes away and thank you for revealing the will of God. I've been so confused, I've seeing that I was looking at myself. Thank you God
A willingness to routinely listen to God's word through sermons like those my brother Tim has helped me grow and progress in the lord's prayer. An encounter with Lord's Holy Spirit renews life in the spirit and prepares to walk the path set by Jesus Christ.
This was extremely helpful for me. A wave of refreshment came over me when you expounded on the first 15 verses of Matthew 5; being indicative and not imperative. I know I am beloved of God, and that is why I follow His commands, but I always found myself trying to be more "poor in spirit" when I read these particular verses. There is no end to the comfort of Gods grace and truth. Thanks again.
Tim has a way of translating the fear of God into the listener, yet also translating across God's assurance to God's chosen. It has to be said that some of what Tim preached frightened me, but after that Tims' faithful preaching went on to reassured me.
2 Cor 10:12 The apostle Paul tells us that we shouldn’t compare. It is sinful my brother, to compare any human with another and Paul says that he doesn’t do it. That’s the truth. Like Isaiah, we must compare ourselves ONLY with Christ (Isaiah saw Christ on the throne) when we self-examine like the psalmist in psalm 139, see ourselves as we woefully are (undone, fallen apart & collapsedcompletely, being morally & spiritually bankrupt)... and finally, let’s see & consider ourselves as God sees Isaiah & us - cleansed & ready to be sent. 😊
GOD Bless this ministry of Pastor Tim. It has taken me deeper to examine my obedience & my Salvation more than any teacher ever. GOD is pulling it out of me and refining me. All Glory to GOD for leading me here.
Thank you Pastor Tim. Its all about the heart and our ultimate intent and motive. What drives us to do or say something? May the Lord help us all to be effective ifor His Kingdom.
Pastor Tim and I’ll be honest ministries, Thank you for sending me to Grace Immanuel Reformed Baptist in GR. Next time you’re in town please come say hello!
Matthew 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. John 6:40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.” You are saved by faith in Christ not by obeying the sermon on the mount but you obey it because you have the Holy Spirit in you and he does not let you live in sin.
Wonderful Man of God yr teachgs of Eternal Word of God brings me dead to sin n life to Righteousness of God. GOD prosper u n many more Souls added to the Kingdom of God.
Tim, very well explained. This is what i try to tell christians here in Germany, that there are two ways of christianity not told by the Lord; the "pharisaic, you have to do"...and on the other side the "liberal, everything goes". Thank you for mentioned argues.. helps me a lot for my own striving and hopefully for others too. Segensgruß, Daniel
Have your sins been forgiven today and forever? Think about this. The God of the bible, the One True God made us to worship him, obey him, and enjoy him forever. We break His laws daily by not putting Him first, not thanking Him like we should, we lie, we lust, we have sex before marriage, we dishonor our parents, we covet things other people have, we take God's name and use it in vain, we use it in a low manner, sometimes as a cuss word, (God is holy and even His name is holy), we don't love like we should, etc. In doing so we're saying He's not a good provider, He's a liar, He's untrustworthy, He's not worthy of praise. All these things and more are counted against us. The bible says God is the just judge of the world and one day He will settle the score for all the wrong we've done. God is holy meaning He is righteous (morally perfect in thought, word, and deed) It also means He is set apart and higher than us. God being good, must punish all sin or wrong doing in the world. This means that if you sin one time God will cast you in hell for eternity. Because He is good and He doesn't turn a blind eye to sin. But there is good news. 2000 years ago Jesus the Son of God came into this world and lived a perfect life ( He never sinned once) and He died on the cross taking the wrath that we deserve and paid the penalty for the sins we committed. The bible says that if you will repent (confess and forsake your sins) and trust in what Christ did on the cross (He took the wrath of God that was meant for you and I) then all your sins will be forgiven and when you die you will be in heaven with God and all who believe for eternity. Jesus died and on the third day He rose from the grave. Get right with God today don't wait. Once you die after that comes the judgement. It's the most important thing you can do. If you repent and trust in what Christ did on the cross you will be born again or born spiritually. Right now you're dead in your sins and you can't see the beauty of Jesus Christ but after you trust in Christ all the things you hate about God like obeying him, serving Him, loving Him and others, reading the bible, praying and going to church you will love to do those things because God changes your heart. That's how you know you have been born again and forgiven. Please think long about this and ask me any questions you have as this is the most important thing you can ever think of in your life. An eternity in hell (darkness and a lake of fire the bible describes it, with weeping and gnashing of teeth) or an eternity out of that place and into the loving arms of God who is infinitely glorious, has infinite knowledge and has infinite power to do all that He pleases. You decide. Have a great day!
A commonly used template for the Gospel, but unfortunately, I do not think this is the complete Gospel the Apostles preached (just look at the sermons of Peter and Paul...). You seem to have forgotten God sent His Son into the world to be a Judge, and a King, and commands all men to repent and serve His Son (i.e. the Lordship of Christ is nowhere mentioned above). Moreover, faith requires being born again (that is, regeneration precedes faith, not the other way round)
Luke Chapter 11 1 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. 2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. 3 Give us day by day our daily bread. 4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. 5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves. 6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? 7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee. 8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. 9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you. 10 For every one that asketh recieveth; And he that seeketh findeth And to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? 14 And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spoke; and the people wondered. 15 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils. 16 And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven. 17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth. 18 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub. 19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges. 20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. 21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: 22 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh all of his armor wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils. 23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. 24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. 25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. 26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. 27 And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto them, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. 28 But they said, Yea, rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. 29 And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign: and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. 30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. 31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here. 32 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and behold, a greater than Jonas is here. 33 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which may come in may see the light. 34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thy eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. 35 Take heed therefore that the light which in thee be not darkness. 36 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light. 37 And as he spoke, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat. 38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed before dinner. 39 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward is full of ravening and wickedness. 40 Ye fools, did not He that made that which is without make that which is within also? 41 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you. 42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets. 44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them. 45 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also. 46 And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers. 47 Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchers of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. 48 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchers. 49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute: 50 That the blood of all prophets, which was shed form the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; 51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation. 52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered. 53 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things: 54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
In the end, God the FATHER will show mercy to all Jews and Gentiles who come to Him through faith in Christ, thank you. Romans 11:25 “I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in,"
Christianity must be about more than just MY sin, and MY righteousness, and MY salvation. Never mind rampant hunger, wars, despoliation of the planet we all live on, racism, genocide, human trafficking, and so on. Just so long as I get MY piece of Jesus so I can get MY pie in the sky. This is the selfish aspect of evangelical Christianity.
I hope you all can see this question and make a video about it cause I need help with this decision. I am making $13/hr right now and I don’t have a ton of money saved and me and my fiancé is planning to get married in the future after we both graduate but I’m thinking of quitting the fire academy and going to school for biblical studies then pursue preaching. So should I quit the academy and pursue the ministry or should I finish the academy and pursue ministry after I graduate?
Based on the little you said I would advise you to not quit the fire academy to go to Bible school. What vital is being part of a good church, you will be able to grow there while working a job and supporting a family. I've known multiple people who got a Bible degree, and then realized they weren't called to the ministry, and then they had a difficult time securing a job to provide for their family. It's far better to get a consistent job and then take classes online here and there.
I have a problem brothers and sisters this thought of mine is what's causing me to have some ill feeling towards God despite being a Christian, desiring to live for him, and loving him. What is causing this feeling and thoughts of mine that makes me have some sort of anger towards him is this: Why is it that God made some people more beautiful and handsome than others? I know people and Christians alike say all the time no that's not true everyone is equally beautiful and handsome but that's not true there are people who are universally beautiful and handsome and just to put that for an example. There's people like Gigi Hadid, Emma Watson, Angelina Jolie, Julia Robert's, and I can say the same thing about men. If we are all made in God's image and all are loved and created equal in his eyes than why are some people created not as pretty or not as handsome. And here again is where I'll point out that no its not true that it's our fallen nature or sin that sees people as ugly or unattractive, the truth is not everyone is created in equal measures of beauty. One that comes to mind is the story of Leah and Rachel where the Bible itself describes the sister as not being equal, it differentiates Rachel as beautiful in appearance and figure unlike her sister Leah. It was the Bible that pointed out this differentiation meaning it's not so much man's sinful heart that perceives ugly due to sin, while that can be the case, its very clear that the Bible even points out the fact that yes they aren't equal and weren't created in such same level of beauty. This to me is very hard to accept and I find God unfair about this because I do believe that it's the beauty of a person's soul, their inner being that is far more important and worth more than jewels. It's what counts while looks fade a way. But also I don't see how people say no she or he may be beautiful in the exterior but have ugly hearts on the inside. I dont believe that to be true. I think that it's hard to cope with that idea because I find God to be unfair that if we are all deeply loved by him equally why did he make some of his children beautiful and handsome while others have to deal with the fact that they aren't as attractive and are ugly such people get overlooked, rejected, mistreated, and made fun of. It just seems not right. Because while there are people who do have a beautiful exterior and an ugly heart there are also those who God has made and love, who are not only beautiful and handsome in the exterior but also love Jesus and have kind loving hearts in the inside. So God made some people who have to deal with the fact they have to accept themselves with their body and their appearance even if its hard for them to accept their reality of being unattractive and this people work on building character and working on being a gentle, meek, kind hearted person on the inside, while on the other hand God made his other children who are very beautiful and handsome in ther exterior and who do seek him, who do love him, and have loving hearts as well,
people said to be beautiful inside and out, and this people are not only beautiful on the inside and a Christian but also dont struggle as much because they love their outside as well that they can take care of that God blessed them with. It seems very unfair to me. I know they say looks fade over time but the truth is for those who make it in heaven they will look like their younger self with glorified bodies in heaven and that will always be the way they are. Im not here being conceited but I can speak for any men and any women who don't necessarily ask to be drop dead gorgeous or supermodels we just want to be happy with ourselves I don't think that's a bad thing. Yes, God does seem unfair I feel like if he loves us all equally and we are all made in his image then surely there shouldn't be people on the end of the spectrum dealing with so much hurt for something that they can't control. Yet their are people who do live in this world who are made beautifully and have kind hearts as well so for anyone saying no its not the outside that counts or no those beautiful people are stuck up, conceited, have ugly hearts, that's not true. Some people are just lucky enough to be born beautiful and even more better if they dont have pride and seek Jesus they become not only beautiful on the outside but very beautiful on the inside as well. But as for the other children God made we are here to work on being golden on the inside and trying to accept what we are dealt with how we are and how we look and continously fight of that insecurity. No, I believe as much as God made everyone beautiful and wonderful in his image the reality of the matter is no he didn't make everyone equal like that. And while there are people who never had to deal with being called ugly or made fun of and are blessed to be beautiful and loved and grow with kind hearts as a believer its just not the same for some of us we have to accept bullying we have to accept having to continously cast down our thoughts and find beauty in ourselves no matter if nobody sees it and at the same time work on being a beautiful gem internally. I hope my thoughts and explanation made sense I dont know how else to best put it. I hated that I was born Filipino, that I am Asian and ugly. I just think that if God made both women and both are dearly loved by him why didnt they both look lovely despite one woman being loved than the other.. it's true so many people in this world born like Taylor Hill, Alexandra Ambrosio, and theres some of us that are just average to ugly looking.. My hurt is coming from not about people. Leah's problem is that she felt overlooked and wanted to be beautiful to be seen and not live under her sisters shadow and most of all to be accepted and loved by her husband Jacob. Me its different. I didnt mind not being liked by the guy I like or going through rejection, relationship, or not gaining love or acceptance from the world. I didnt want to be pretty just to be loved or just for some other person to cherish me. For me I just wished God made me well, like some of his daughters, that im actually pretty so I can stand waking up in the morning and feeling okay with myself with some love without feeling a weight of discouragement so I can be okay with my own skin.I simply wanted God to make me at least somewhat beautiful and attractive like how he made his other daughters so that I can be happy and embrace myself for me because in the end of the day I have me to deal with and to take care of this body and soul I occupy and take good care for it till it grows old. I wanted to feel attractive and made beautiful and not in a vain way i know looks will fade but to just be okay to care of myself and actually feel not discouraged, brushing my hair, dress up just embracing being made as a female. Why couldn't he do that? I could never understand why he made some people exquisitely beautiful and handsome as his children and not his other childrens. I understand why some people would want to be beautiful maybe to be accepted by society, maybe for praise, maybe to be loved by the guy they want, well my reason is for me to just be okay and actually not hate myself to actually be strong as a women . I've been hurt by guys before and one thing I can say is I never wanted to be beautiful fir them I came to the knowledge in such a young age that humans have sinful nature pretty girls too get cheated on, hurt, betrayed, left but what I did thought deeply to myself is when all this people leave and guys who hurt leave I have to stand on my own always and love myself and feel pretty on my own and that's where I wish God made me beautiful because I'm strong enough to know that I can make it in this life just with me and God alone, though I would be happy enough to actually want God to make me like his other daughters beautiful too so I can live my life to the fullest and be happy and embrace myself with some love (again not in a vain obsessive way). It's like some of us are just not lucky. Instead I'm ugly and filipino. I felt cursed and unfortuante. I wish He had made me Caucasian, European, or Hispanic. But out of all the race im not lucky that im Asian and Filipino, that I have the features I have and look the way I do. I thought long and hard I hate my reality and the fate im given I hate looking Filipino but more so an ugly girl. Had he made me pretty I can actually be less mean to myself and not have this hurt feeling every time I try to just dress okay or look pretty in some days.. Granted many people are superficial, I can say for myself all I ever want is TO BE PRETTY FOR ME TO DRESS NICE FOR ME, its not for attention, I want to feel fine with combing my hair putting on a simple outfit and not hate myself. That would have been the best feeling in the world on top of loving God. I try to not let it get to me and always focus on my character and my heart as a person but it does hurt and it makes me wonder what is it with his other daughters that he had decided to make them born beautiful and gorgeous to occupy this world and he forgot to add some of us in it too. They are lucky very much so. Its like when he was creating his children he completely forgot to add a sparkle dust on me and he went overboard and threw the whole dust in some of his daughters and sons that he also loves and dies for.. I'm not looking to be a Rachel in this world for a handsome Jacob to love me nor a Leah who wants to be seen for Jacob. This is were my frustration stems from with God because after all he is the one that makes us all. I hate that I was born Filipino and look like one and am ugly Asian girl, out of all the race I could have become. I dont like waking up to my reality and hate the fate I have The truth of the matter is God didn't create us all equally granted we are all made in his image still that doesn't change the fact of the matter. To some very unfortunate as it is we just have to deal with the cards we are given and why God made some to be blessed and not go through the severity of the kind of treatment others get because of being born not as attractive and perceived us ugly ill never understand God for. No I understand no body is ugly because he made us in his image but it sure doesn't change the fact that he just so happens to make many who are blessed and are seen. But I completely get the story Leah was favored and she received the greatest honor.
You called your site, I'll be honest and you start by a prayer to our Father in heaven to give us ears to hear and the ability to properly understand. The spirit in you is so easily discerned for a true saved converted, redeemed and born again from above in the spiritual Church believer that you are still a natural unconverted spirit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in you!!! A man convinced against his will for so long like you Tim Conway, is of the same opinion still. Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it!!! It is the same in the spiritual as it is with all the physical governments that governs the whole world. Agents, puppets, actors controlled by the Prince of the Air since our beginning at birth on this earth!!! Don't expect any rebuke from me, because none of us can blame anyone else if we are not saved and ready in our Church Age because our war between good and evil is within each of us, our double minded spirits where our true heart and feelings exist in the spiritual is in our mind. And this is the only place where the Holy Spirit can enter and resides in us! There is no debate about scriptures with me! He as become my Teacher, and not man! My Helper and Comforter! My Advocate! My Guide to guide me into ALL truth!!! You all love the scriptures but you don't pay attention to the part of scriptures that says the letter kills but the the Spirit gives life!!! Wolves in sheep clothing as been unknowingly entering flocks of disciples since the first century of the Church Age. So what do you see and hear 2000 years of this by now? Well, I tell you if you never heard and felt the manifestation of the Holy Spirit entering and residing in you, I fear for you all. Just imagining in your mind that the Holy Spirit resides in you because man, pastors, preachers or teachers convince you through the written scriptures that you are saved, so be it. Satan love these words, believe what though wilt.
Why do you teach works salvation? It's not true that a true Christian will show works if he's saved. Even if he doesn't show works he will be saved. You need to read the chapter in 2 Corinthians where the guy at judgment seat of Messiah did nothing and got no rewards but still got saved.
Hello Barry, please consider the following, 1) we do not teach a works based salvation. Romans 4:5 makes it clear that it is not to the one who works that God justifies. What we teach is that GOD HIMSELF does a work in salvation and that is what brings about the change in a person's life. 2) Romans 6 goes on to make it clear that the one united to Christ by faith has been transformed to where they are now obedient in their heart to God's standards. Obedience is now natural. It is not some forced religious duty one does to save themselves.... rather out of love for Christ the Christian obeys Him (John 14:15, 1 John 5:3). 3) In regards to "judgment seat... did nothing..." I am assuming you mean 1 Corinthians 3:15? The text does not teach that ALL of the works of a person will be burned up and that someone is saved having no works. Rather it teaches there are certain works, that verse 5 says have the motive of the heart disclosed and the motive was impure and thus the work was for self and not Christ. 4) Ephesians 2:10 loudly declares that God has prepared works beforehand that we should walk in them. God is going to make sure that happens because He has promised in the New Covenant to cause us to walk and obey His statues (Ezekiel 36:25-27).

'' ( Do Christians And Jews and "OTHER" non-Muslims go to Heaven? ) Quran 2:62 '' Those who believe (in the Qur'an), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,-> ANY { On Judgement Day } ( According to the Quran Christians and Jews worship TRUE God ) (Quran 3:113-114) '' Not all of them are alike: Of the People of the Book ( Christians and Jews ) are a portion that stand (For the right): They rehearse the Signs of God all night long, and they prostrate themselves in adoration. They believe in God and the Last Day; they enjoin what is right, and forbid what is wrong; and they hasten (in emulation) in (all) good works: They are in the ranks of the righteous.'' Note: According to the Quran that Jesus is not God nevertheless Christians still worship one '' TRUE '' God. ( > Allah < Is The Protector Of Monasteries, Churches, Synagogues And The Mosques ) Quran 22:40 [They are] those who have been evicted from their homes without right - only because they say, "Our Lord is Allah ."

Answer: Be kind to other human beings and Do not lie, Do not steal, Do not cheat, Do not hurt others, Do not be prideful and Do the charity work. ( God Allow Muslims To Marry And Eat Food From the Christian And Jew And Vice Versa ) Quran 5;5 ''This day [all] good foods have been made lawful, and the food of those who were given the Scripture ( Christian and Jew) is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them. And [lawful in marriage are] chaste women from among the believers and chaste women from among those who were given the Scripture ( Christian and Jew) before you, when you have given them their due compensation, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual intercourse or taking [secret] lovers. And whoever denies the faith - his work has become worthless, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.''

Mohammed was the prophet of war; Christ is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6-7). Mohammed's disciples killed for the faith; Christ's disciples were killed for their faith (Acts 12:2; 2 Timothy 4:7). Mohammed promoted persecution against the "infidels"; Christ forgave and converted the chief persecutor (1 Timothy 1:13-15). Mohammed was the taker of life; Christ was the giver of life (John 10:27-28). Mohammed and his fellow warriors murdered thousands; Christ murdered none but saved many (compare John 12:48). Mohammed's method was COMPULSION; Christ's aim was voluntary CONVERSION (Acts 3:19). Mohammed practiced FORCE; Christ preached FAITH (John 6:29,35). Mohammed was a WARRIOR; Christ is a DELIVERER (Col. 1:13; 1 Thessalonians 1:10). Mohammed conquered his enemies with the sword; Christ conquered his enemies with another kind of sword, the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God (Hebrews 4:12; Acts 2:37). Mohammed said to the masses, "Convert or die!"; Christ said, "Believe and live!" (John 6:47; 11:25-26). Mohammed was swift to shed blood (Romans 3:15-17); Christ shed His own blood for the salvation of many (Ephesians 1:7). Mohammed preached "Death to the infidels!"; Christ prayed "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:34). Mohammed declared a holy war (Jihad) against infidels; Christ achieved a holy victory on Calvary's cross (Colossians 2:14-15) and His followers share in that victory (John 16:33). Mohammed constrained people by conquest; Christ constrained people by love (2 Corinthians 5:14). Modern terrorists derive their inspiration from Mohammed and carry out their despicable atrocities in the name of his god; Christians derive their inspiration from the One who said, "Blessed are the peacemakers" (Matthew 5:9). Modern day disciples of Mohammed respond to the terrorist attacks by cheering in the streets; Modern day disciples of Christ are deeply grieved at past atrocities carried out by those who were "Christians" in name only (the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, etc.). Many Muslims are peaceful and peace-loving because they do not strictly follow the teachings of their founder; Many Christians are peaceful and peace-loving because they do strictly follow the teachings of their Founder (Romans 12:17-21). Mohammed said the Koran is authoritative only in Arabic, and only in his dialect; The Bible is authoritative in many languages around the world, for God knows all things and can inspire His Word in more than one language. Mohammed hated music; Jesus and His disciples sang hymns, and the Apostle commanded the Lord's Church to sing. (Matthew 26:30, Ephesians 5:19, Colossians 3:16) Mohammed allowed that a Mullah, Imam, or Mufti of Islam can be a terrorist and moral animal like Osama bin Laden; The Bible requires that a leader in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ must be above reproach, and when this is not true, Christians demand such a fallen leader be removed from leadership. (1 Timothy 3:1-7, 5:19-20) Islam calls on its followers to observe Five Pillars, while all other aspects of life can be vulgar and not affect the Muslim's prospects in Paradise. The Bible calls on the Christian to submit to the total change of his life by the Spirit of God-- NO area of life and thought is the choice of the follower. (Romans 12:1-2) The Muslim looks forward to eternity in Paradise where there will be virgins who are used for eternal perpetual copulation. The Bible believing Christian looks forward to being with Jesus Christ and is delighted with that. (2 Corinthians 5:8) Mohammed said the witness of a woman was half the value of the witness of a man; and Muhammed said a women goes to Paradise because she satisfies her husband sexually; The Bible teaches that a husband is to love his wife and be willing to die for her. (Ephesians 5:25) Mohammed called upon his servants to fight; Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world; if My kingdom were of this world, then would My servants fight . . .but now is My kingdom not from here" (John 18:36) Mohammed ordered death to the Jews (see A.Guillaume, The Life of Muhammad, Oxford University Press [1975], p. 369); Christ ordered that the gospel be preached "to the Jew first" (Romans 1:16). The Koran says, "Fight in the cause of Allah" (Qu'ran 2.244); The Bible says, "we wrestle not against flesh and blood" and "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal" (Ephesians 6:12; 2 Corinthians 10:4). The Koran says, "Fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them" (Qu'ran 9.5); Christ said, "Preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15). The Koran says, "I will inspire terror into the hearts of unbelievers" (Qu'ran 8.12); God inspires His terror into the hearts of believers (Isaiah 8:13). The Koran (Qu'ran) is a terrorist manual which condones fighting, conflict, terror, slaughter, and genocide against those who do not accept Islam; The Bible is a missionary manual to spread the gospel of peace to all the world (Romans 10:15). Mohammed's Mission was to conquer the world for Allah; Christ's mission was to conquer sin's penalty and power by substitutionary atonement (2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 3:18). Mohammed considered Christ a good prophet; Christ pronounced Mohammed to be a false prophet (John 10:10; Matthew 24:11). Mohammed claimed that there was but one God, Allah; Christ claimed that He was God (John 10:30-31; John 8:58-59; John 5:18; John 14:9). Islam is geocentric, that is, the whole universe is centered on the Kaaba in the Grand mosque in Mecca in Arabia, and all Muslims pray facing that direction; Jesus Christ is the center of all Christian worship and fellowship, for He is "in the midst" where his saints meet anywhere on earth. (Matthew 18:20, John 4:22-23) Mohammed's Tomb: OCCUPIED! Christ's tomb: EMPTY! Islam must be received, or you can be killed for rejecting it: The Faith offered by Jesus Christ is for "whosoever will" to receive, and all men are permitted to reject it. (Revelation 22:17, John 3:16) Those who leave Islam are killed in most Islamic nations; Those who leave the true Church of Jesus Christ are allowed to do so with no revenge. Now, is a Muslim submitted to Allah and Islam because he loves Allah? NO! He dare not leave Islam, and he is loyal purely out of fear. The true Bible believer is loyal to Jesus Christ purely out of love. 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19 We love him, because he first loved us. This concept is 100% alien to Islam-- There is no love in Islam-- Only fear and hate.

I have a problem brothers and sisters this thought of mine is what's causing me to have some ill feeling towards God despite being a Christian, desiring to live for him, and loving him. What is causing this feeling and thoughts of mine that makes me have some sort of anger towards him is this: Why is it that God made some people more beautiful and handsome than others? I know people and Christians alike say all the time no that's not true everyone is equally beautiful and handsome but that's not true there are people who are universally beautiful and handsome and just to put that for an example. There's people like Gigi Hadid, Emma Watson, Angelina Jolie, Julia Robert's, and I can say the same thing about men. If we are all made in God's image and all are loved and created equal in his eyes than why are some people created not as pretty or not as handsome. And here again is where I'll point out that no its not true that it's our fallen nature or sin that sees people as ugly or unattractive, the truth is not everyone is created in equal measures of beauty. One that comes to mind is the story of Leah and Rachel where the Bible itself describes the sister as not being equal, it differentiates Rachel as beautiful in appearance and figure unlike her sister Leah. It was the Bible that pointed out this differentiation meaning it's not so much man's sinful heart that perceives ugly due to sin, while that can be the case, its very clear that the Bible even points out the fact that yes they aren't equal and weren't created in such same level of beauty. This to me is very hard to accept and I find God unfair about this because I do believe that it's the beauty of a person's soul, their inner being that is far more important and worth more than jewels. It's what counts while looks fade a way. But also I don't see how people say no she or he may be beautiful in the exterior but have ugly hearts on the inside. I dont believe that to be true. I think that it's hard to cope with that idea because I find God to be unfair that if we are all deeply loved by him equally why did he make some of his children beautiful and handsome while others have to deal with the fact that they aren't as attractive and are ugly such people get overlooked, rejected, mistreated, and made fun of. It just seems not right. Because while there are people who do have a beautiful exterior and an ugly heart there are also those who God has made and love, who are not only beautiful and handsome in the exterior but also love Jesus and have kind loving hearts in the inside. So God made some people who have to deal with the fact they have
they have to accept themselves with their body and their appearance even if its hard for them to accept their reality of being unattractive and this people work on building character and working on being a gentle, meek, kind hearted person on the inside, while on the other hand God made his other children who are very beautiful and handsome in ther exterior and who do seek him, who do love him, and have loving hearts as well, people said to be beautiful inside and out, and this people are not only beautiful on the inside and a Christian but also dont struggle as much because they love their outside as well that they can take care of that God blessed them with. It seems very unfair to me. I know they say looks fade over time but the truth is for those who make it in heaven they will look like their younger self with glorified bodies in heaven and that will always be the way they are. Im not here being conceited but I can speak for any men and any women who don't necessarily ask to be drop dead gorgeous or supermodels we just want to be happy with ourselves I don't think that's a bad thing. Yes, God does seem unfair I feel like if he loves us all equally and we are all made in his image then surely there shouldn't be people on the end of the spectrum dealing with so much hurt for something that they can't control. Yet their are people who do live in this world who are made beautifully and have kind hearts as well so for anyone saying no its not the outside that counts or no those beautiful people are stuck up, conceited, have ugly hearts, that's not true. Some people are just lucky enough to be born beautiful and even more better if they dont have pride and seek Jesus they become not only beautiful on the outside but very beautiful on the inside as well. But as for the other children God made we are here to work on being golden on the inside and trying to accept what we are dealt with how we are and how we look and continously fight of that insecurity. No, I believe as much as God made everyone beautiful and wonderful in his image the reality of the matter is no he didn't make everyone equal like that. And while there are people who never had to deal with being called ugly or made fun of and are blessed to be beautiful and loved and grow with kind hearts as a believer its just not the same for some of us we have to accept bullying we have to accept having to continously cast down our thoughts and find beauty in ourselves no matter if nobody sees it and at the same time work on being a beautiful gem internally. I hope my thoughts and explanation made sense I dont know how else to best put it. I hated that I was born Filipino, that I am Asian and ugly. I just think that if God made both women and both are dearly loved by him why didnt they both look lovely despite one woman being loved than the other.. it's true so many people in this world born like Taylor Hill, Alexandra Ambrosio, and theres some of us that are just average to ugly looking.. My hurt is coming from not about people. Leah's problem is that she felt overlooked and wanted to be beautiful to be seen and not live under her sisters shadow and most of all to be accepted and loved by her husband Jacob. Me its different. I didnt mind not being liked by the guy I like or going through rejection, relationship, or not gaining love or acceptance from the world. I didnt want to be pretty just to be loved or just for some other person to cherish me. For me I just wished God made me well, like some of his daughters, that im actually pretty so I can stand waking up in the morning and feeling okay with myself with some love without feeling a weight of discouragement so I can be okay with my own skin.I simply wanted God to make me at least somewhat beautiful and attractive like how he made his other daughters so that I can be happy and embrace myself for me because in the end of the day I have me to deal with and to take care of this body and soul I occupy and take good care for it till it grows old. I wanted to feel attractive and made beautiful and not in a vain way i know looks will fade but to just be okay to care of myself and actually feel not discouraged, brushing my hair, dress up just embracing being made as a female. Why couldn't he do that? I could never understand why he made some people exquisitely beautiful and handsome as his children and not his other childrens. I understand why some people would want to be beautiful maybe to be accepted by society, maybe for praise, maybe to be loved by the guy they want, well my reason is for me to just be okay and actually not hate myself to actually be strong as a women . I've been hurt by guys before and one thing I can say is I never wanted to be beautiful fir them I came to the knowledge in such a young age that humans have sinful nature pretty girls too get cheated on, hurt, betrayed, left but what I did thought deeply to myself is when all this people leave and guys who hurt leave I have to stand on my own always and love myself and feel pretty on my own and that's where I wish God made me beautiful because I'm strong enough to know that I can make it in this life just with me and God alone, though I would be happy enough to actually want God to make me like his other daughters beautiful too so I can live my life to the fullest and be happy and embrace myself with some love (again not in a vain obsessive way). It's like some of us are just not lucky. Instead I'm ugly and filipino. I felt cursed and unfortuante. I wish He had made me Caucasian, European, or Hispanic. But out of all the race im not lucky that im Asian and Filipino, that I have the features I have and look the way I do. I thought long and hard I hate my reality and the fate im given I hate looking Filipino but more so an ugly girl. Had he made me pretty I can actually be less mean to myself and not have this hurt feeling every time I try to just dress okay or look pretty in some days.. Granted many people are superficial, I can say for myself all I ever want is TO BE PRETTY FOR ME TO DRESS NICE FOR ME, its not for attention, I want to feel fine with combing my hair putting on a simple outfit and not hate myself. That would have been the best feeling in the world on top of loving God. I try to not let it get to me and always focus on my character and my heart as a person but it does hurt and it makes me wonder what is it with his other daughters that he had decided to make them born beautiful and gorgeous to occupy this world and he forgot to add some of us in it too. They are lucky very much so. Its like when he was creating his children he completely forgot to add a sparkle dust on me and he went overboard and threw the whole dust in some of his daughters and sons that he also loves and dies for.. I'm not looking to be a Rachel in this world for a handsome Jacob to love me nor a Leah who wants to be seen for Jacob. This is were my frustration stems from with God because after all he is the one that makes us all. I hate that I was born Filipino and look like one and am ugly Asian girl, out of all the race I could have become. I dont like waking up to my reality and hate the fate I have The truth of the matter is God didn't create us all equally granted we are all made in his image still that doesn't change the fact of the matter. To some very unfortunate as it is we just have to deal with the cards we are given and why God made some to be blessed and not go through the severity of the kind of treatment others get because of being born not as attractive and perceived us ugly ill never understand God for. No I understand no body is ugly because he made us in his image but it sure doesn't change the fact that he just so happens to make many who are blessed and are seen. i hate that I was born Filipino that I'm an Asian and ill never accept it that im this.. God shouldn't have he made me a mistake and if he doesn make a mistake well im just very unfortunate enough to be this way out of all the nationalities I could have been.. But I completely get the story Leah was favored and she received the greatest honor.

Wow. I sinned today and I felt terrible. Jesus blood washes away and thank you for revealing the will of God. I've been so confused, I've seeing that I was looking at myself. Thank you God
A willingness to routinely listen to God's word through sermons like those my brother Tim has helped me grow and progress in the lord's prayer. An encounter with Lord's Holy Spirit renews life in the spirit and prepares to walk the path set by Jesus Christ.
I've been asking the wrong question all-along. Thank you VERY MUCH for teaching me this lesson! An eternal lesson. Wow.
This was extremely helpful for me. A wave of refreshment came over me when you expounded on the first 15 verses of Matthew 5; being indicative and not imperative. I know I am beloved of God, and that is why I follow His commands, but I always found myself trying to be more "poor in spirit" when I read these particular verses. There is no end to the comfort of Gods grace and truth. Thanks again.
Fantastic sermon about the Greatest sermon ever delivered to man.
Tim Conway speaks the truth I like him sometimes I think Tim speaks harder than Paul washer😁
Whoa buddy hehehe
@@newplayer5433 hehe 😁
Tim has a way of translating the fear of God into the listener, yet also translating across God's assurance to God's chosen. It has to be said that some of what Tim preached frightened me, but after that Tims' faithful preaching went on to reassured me.
2 Cor 10:12 The apostle Paul tells us that we shouldn’t compare. It is sinful my brother, to compare any human with another and Paul says that he doesn’t do it. That’s the truth. Like Isaiah, we must compare ourselves ONLY with Christ (Isaiah saw Christ on the throne) when we self-examine like the psalmist in psalm 139, see ourselves as we woefully are (undone, fallen apart & collapsedcompletely, being morally & spiritually bankrupt)...
and finally, let’s see & consider ourselves as God sees Isaiah & us - cleansed & ready to be sent. 😊
GOD Bless this ministry of Pastor Tim. It has taken me deeper to examine my obedience & my Salvation more than any teacher ever. GOD is pulling it out of me and refining me. All Glory to GOD for leading me here.
Amen. Thank you Pastor Tim and brethren so much. God bless
Thank you Pastor Tim. Its all about the heart and our ultimate intent and motive. What drives us to do or say something? May the Lord help us all to be effective ifor His Kingdom.
Pastor Tim and I’ll be honest ministries,
Thank you for sending me to Grace Immanuel Reformed Baptist in GR.
Next time you’re in town please come say hello!
Matthew 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
John 6:40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
You are saved by faith in Christ not by obeying the sermon on the mount but you obey it because you have the Holy Spirit in you and he does not let you live in sin.
Very good, amen. And yet we sin DAILY , so it is the righteousness of Christ that ultimately covers us. All him. All of grace
Best I’ve heard in years.
Thank you so much for this sermon.
Thank you so much for making timestamps!! 🥰
Can't wait for the continuation of this.
It is written 'The just shall live by faith'. Beloved, read Hebrews Chapters 8-10. Bless you in the Name of Jesus. Amen
May God bless pastor Tim and your family.
Abaolute great sermon! Thank you Pastor Tim!
Oh, man, I'm so grateful for this message. I don't think I've ever heard Matthew 5-7 preached like this. :D
Brother... this is excellent. Thank you.
Wonderful Man of God yr teachgs of Eternal Word of God brings me dead to sin n life to Righteousness of God. GOD prosper u n many more Souls added to the Kingdom of God.
Tim, very well explained. This is what i try to tell christians here in Germany, that there are two ways of christianity not told by the Lord; the "pharisaic, you have to do"...and on the other side the "liberal, everything goes". Thank you for mentioned argues.. helps me a lot for my own striving and hopefully for others too. Segensgruß, Daniel
Have your sins been forgiven today and forever? Think about this. The God of the bible, the One True God made us to worship him, obey him, and enjoy him forever. We break His laws daily by not putting Him first, not thanking Him like we should, we lie, we lust, we have sex before marriage, we dishonor our parents, we covet things other people have, we take God's name and use it in vain, we use it in a low manner, sometimes as a cuss word, (God is holy and even His name is holy), we don't love like we should, etc. In doing so we're saying He's not a good provider, He's a liar, He's untrustworthy, He's not worthy of praise. All these things and more are counted against us. The bible says God is the just judge of the world and one day He will settle the score for all the wrong we've done. God is holy meaning He is righteous (morally perfect in thought, word, and deed) It also means He is set apart and higher than us. God being good, must punish all sin or wrong doing in the world. This means that if you sin one time God will cast you in hell for eternity. Because He is good and He doesn't turn a blind eye to sin. But there is good news. 2000 years ago Jesus the Son of God came into this world and lived a perfect life ( He never sinned once) and He died on the cross taking the wrath that we deserve and paid the penalty for the sins we committed. The bible says that if you will repent (confess and forsake your sins) and trust in what Christ did on the cross (He took the wrath of God that was meant for you and I) then all your sins will be forgiven and when you die you will be in heaven with God and all who believe for eternity. Jesus died and on the third day He rose from the grave. Get right with God today don't wait. Once you die after that comes the judgement. It's the most important thing you can do. If you repent and trust in what Christ did on the cross you will be born again or born spiritually. Right now you're dead in your sins and you can't see the beauty of Jesus Christ but after you trust in Christ all the things you hate about God like obeying him, serving Him, loving Him and others, reading the bible, praying and going to church you will love to do those things because God changes your heart. That's how you know you have been born again and forgiven. Please think long about this and ask me any questions you have as this is the most important thing you can ever think of in your life. An eternity in hell (darkness and a lake of fire the bible describes it, with weeping and gnashing of teeth) or an eternity out of that place and into the loving arms of God who is infinitely glorious, has infinite knowledge and has infinite power to do all that He pleases. You decide. Have a great day!
A commonly used template for the Gospel, but unfortunately, I do not think this is the complete Gospel the Apostles preached (just look at the sermons of Peter and Paul...). You seem to have forgotten God sent His Son into the world to be a Judge, and a King, and commands all men to repent and serve His Son (i.e. the Lordship of Christ is nowhere mentioned above).
Moreover, faith requires being born again (that is, regeneration precedes faith, not the other way round)
Jesus was The One who wrote the Laws on the stones on Mount Sinai. It has never changed.🙏Gbu lovely sermon

Luke Chapter 11
1 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves.
6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?
7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.
9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you.
10 For every one that asketh recieveth; And he that seeketh findeth And to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
14 And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spoke; and the people wondered.
15 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.
16 And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.
17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.
18 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.
21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
22 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh all of his armor wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
27 And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto them, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
28 But they said, Yea, rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
29 And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign: and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
32 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
33 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which may come in may see the light.
34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thy eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.
35 Take heed therefore that the light which in thee be not darkness.
36 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.
37 And as he spoke, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.
38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed before dinner.
39 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward is full of ravening and wickedness.
40 Ye fools, did not He that made that which is without make that which is within also?
41 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.
42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.
45 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.
46 And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchers of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchers.
49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:
50 That the blood of all prophets, which was shed form the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
53 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:
54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
Amen!!
In the end, God the FATHER will show mercy to all Jews and Gentiles who come to Him through faith in Christ, thank you.
Romans 11:25
“I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in,"
Amen
Wow!
Christianity must be about more than just MY sin, and MY righteousness, and MY salvation. Never mind rampant hunger, wars, despoliation of the planet we all live on, racism, genocide, human trafficking, and so on. Just so long as I get MY piece of Jesus so I can get MY pie in the sky. This is the selfish aspect of evangelical Christianity.
Can I get the TL;DR? What's the question?
This is it
I hope you all can see this question and make a video about it cause I need help with this decision. I am making $13/hr right now and I don’t have a ton of money saved and me and my fiancé is planning to get married in the future after we both graduate but I’m thinking of quitting the fire academy and going to school for biblical studies then pursue preaching. So should I quit the academy and pursue the ministry or should I finish the academy and pursue ministry after I graduate?
Based on the little you said I would advise you to not quit the fire academy to go to Bible school. What vital is being part of a good church, you will be able to grow there while working a job and supporting a family. I've known multiple people who got a Bible degree, and then realized they weren't called to the ministry, and then they had a difficult time securing a job to provide for their family. It's far better to get a consistent job and then take classes online here and there.
@@Scruffydudepodcast are you being sent to the Bible school by local church that's already affirmed your calling?
I have a problem brothers and sisters this thought of mine is what's causing me to have some ill feeling towards God despite being a Christian, desiring to live for him, and loving him. What is causing this feeling and thoughts of mine that makes me have some sort of anger towards him is this: Why is it that God made some people more beautiful and handsome than others? I know people and Christians alike say all the time no that's not true everyone is equally beautiful and handsome but that's not true there are people who are universally beautiful and handsome and just to put that for an example. There's people like Gigi Hadid, Emma Watson, Angelina Jolie, Julia Robert's, and I can say the same thing about men. If we are all made in God's image and all are loved and created equal in his eyes than why are some people created not as pretty or not as handsome. And here again is where I'll point out that no its not true that it's our fallen nature or sin that sees people as ugly or unattractive, the truth is not everyone is created in equal measures of beauty. One that comes to mind is the story of Leah and Rachel where the Bible itself describes the sister as not being equal, it differentiates Rachel as beautiful in appearance and figure unlike her sister Leah. It was the Bible that pointed out this differentiation meaning it's not so much man's sinful heart that perceives ugly due to sin, while that can be the case, its very clear that the Bible even points out the fact that yes they aren't equal and weren't created in such same level of beauty. This to me is very hard to accept and I find God unfair about this because I do believe that it's the beauty of a person's soul, their inner being that is far more important and worth more than jewels. It's what counts while looks fade a way. But also I don't see how people say no she or he may be beautiful in the exterior but have ugly hearts on the inside. I dont believe that to be true. I think that it's hard to cope with that idea because I find God to be unfair that if we are all deeply loved by him equally why did he make some of his children beautiful and handsome while others have to deal with the fact that they aren't as attractive and are ugly such people get overlooked, rejected, mistreated, and made fun of. It just seems not right. Because while there are people who do have a beautiful exterior and an ugly heart there are also those who God has made and love, who are not only beautiful and handsome in the exterior but also love Jesus and have kind loving hearts in the inside. So God made some people who have to deal with the fact they have to accept themselves with their body and their appearance even if its hard for them to accept their reality of being unattractive and this people work on building character and working on being a gentle, meek, kind hearted person on the inside, while on the other hand God made his other children who are very beautiful and handsome in ther exterior and who do seek him, who do love him, and have loving hearts as well,
people said to be beautiful inside and out, and this people are not only beautiful on the inside and a Christian but also dont struggle as much because they love their outside as well that they can take care of that God blessed them with. It seems very unfair to me. I know they say looks fade over time but the truth is for those who make it in heaven they will look like their younger self with glorified bodies in heaven and that will always be the way they are. Im not here being conceited but I can speak for any men and any women who don't necessarily ask to be drop dead gorgeous or supermodels we just want to be happy with ourselves I don't think that's a bad thing. Yes, God does seem unfair I feel like if he loves us all equally and we are all made in his image then surely there shouldn't be people on the end of the spectrum dealing with so much hurt for something that they can't control. Yet their are people who do live in this world who are made beautifully and have kind hearts as well so for anyone saying no its not the outside that counts or no those beautiful people are stuck up, conceited, have ugly hearts, that's not true. Some people are just lucky enough to be born beautiful and even more better if they dont have pride and seek Jesus they become not only beautiful on the outside but very beautiful on the inside as well. But as for the other children God made we are here to work on being golden on the inside and trying to accept what we are dealt with how we are and how we look and continously fight of that insecurity. No, I believe as much as God made everyone beautiful and wonderful in his image the reality of the matter is no he didn't make everyone equal like that. And while there are people who never had to deal with being called ugly or made fun of and are blessed to be beautiful and loved and grow with kind hearts as a believer its just not the same for some of us we have to accept bullying we have to accept having to continously cast down our thoughts and find beauty in ourselves no matter if nobody sees it and at the same time work on being a beautiful gem internally. I hope my thoughts and explanation made sense I dont know how else to best put it. I hated that I was born Filipino, that I am Asian and ugly. I just think that if God made both women and both are dearly loved by him why didnt they both look lovely despite one woman being loved than the other.. it's true so many people in this world born like Taylor Hill, Alexandra Ambrosio, and theres some of us that are just average to ugly looking.. My hurt is coming from not about people. Leah's problem is that she felt overlooked and wanted to be beautiful to be seen and not live under her sisters shadow and most of all to be accepted and loved by her husband Jacob. Me its different. I didnt mind not being liked by the guy I like or going through rejection, relationship, or not gaining love or acceptance from the world. I didnt want to be pretty just to be loved or just for some other person to cherish me. For me I just wished God made me well, like some of his daughters, that im actually pretty so I can stand waking up in the morning and feeling okay with myself with some love without feeling a weight of discouragement so I can be okay with my own skin.I simply wanted God to make me at least somewhat beautiful and attractive like how he made his other daughters so that I can be happy and embrace myself for me because in the end of the day I have me to deal with and to take care of this body and soul I occupy and take good care for it till it grows old. I wanted to feel attractive and made beautiful and not in a vain way i know looks will fade but to just be okay to care of myself and actually feel not discouraged, brushing my hair, dress up just embracing being made as a female. Why couldn't he do that? I could never understand why he made some people exquisitely beautiful and handsome as his children and not his other childrens. I understand why some people would want to be beautiful maybe to be accepted by society, maybe for praise, maybe to be loved by the guy they want, well my reason is for me to just be okay and actually not hate myself to actually be strong as a women . I've been hurt by guys before and one thing I can say is I never wanted to be beautiful fir them I came to the knowledge in such a young age that humans have sinful nature pretty girls too get cheated on, hurt, betrayed, left but what I did thought deeply to myself is when all this people leave and guys who hurt leave I have to stand on my own always and love myself and feel pretty on my own and that's where I wish God made me beautiful because I'm strong enough to know that I can make it in this life just with me and God alone, though I would be happy enough to actually want God to make me like his other daughters beautiful too so I can live my life to the fullest and be happy and embrace myself with some love (again not in a vain obsessive way). It's like some of us are just not lucky. Instead I'm ugly and filipino. I felt cursed and unfortuante. I wish He had made me Caucasian, European, or Hispanic. But out of all the race im not lucky that im Asian and Filipino, that I have the features I have and look the way I do. I thought long and hard I hate my reality and the fate im given I hate looking Filipino but more so an ugly girl. Had he made me pretty I can actually be less mean to myself and not have this hurt feeling every time I try to just dress okay or look pretty in some days.. Granted many people are superficial, I can say for myself all I ever want is TO BE PRETTY FOR ME TO DRESS NICE FOR ME, its not for attention, I want to feel fine with combing my hair putting on a simple outfit and not hate myself. That would have been the best feeling in the world on top of loving God. I try to not let it get to me and always focus on my character and my heart as a person but it does hurt and it makes me wonder what is it with his other daughters that he had decided to make them born beautiful and gorgeous to occupy this world and he forgot to add some of us in it too. They are lucky very much so. Its like when he was creating his children he completely forgot to add a sparkle dust on me and he went overboard and threw the whole dust in some of his daughters and sons that he also loves and dies for.. I'm not looking to be a Rachel in this world for a handsome Jacob to love me nor a Leah who wants to be seen for Jacob. This is were my frustration stems from with God because after all he is the one that makes us all. I hate that I was born Filipino and look like one and am ugly Asian girl, out of all the race I could have become. I dont like waking up to my reality and hate the fate I have The truth of the matter is God didn't create us all equally granted we are all made in his image still that doesn't change the fact of the matter. To some very unfortunate as it is we just have to deal with the cards we are given and why God made some to be blessed and not go through the severity of the kind of treatment others get because of being born not as attractive and perceived us ugly ill never understand God for. No I understand no body is ugly because he made us in his image but it sure doesn't change the fact that he just so happens to make many who are blessed and are seen. But I completely get the story Leah was favored and she received the greatest honor.
I don’t know. I don’t get the simplicity of Christ. Here. May be because I did not understand him well !! The lord is my shepherd I shall not want .
Jesus Christ sacrifice was enough
You called your site, I'll be honest and you start by a prayer to our Father in heaven to give us ears to hear and the ability to properly understand. The spirit in you is so easily discerned for a true saved converted, redeemed and born again from above in the spiritual Church believer that you are still a natural unconverted spirit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in you!!! A man convinced against his will for so long like you Tim Conway, is of the same opinion still. Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it!!! It is the same in the spiritual as it is with all the physical governments that governs the whole world. Agents, puppets, actors controlled by the Prince of the Air since our beginning at birth on this earth!!! Don't expect any rebuke from me, because none of us can blame anyone else if we are not saved and ready in our Church Age because our war between good and evil is within each of us, our double minded spirits where our true heart and feelings exist in the spiritual is in our mind. And this is the only place where the Holy Spirit can enter and resides in us! There is no debate about scriptures with me! He as become my Teacher, and not man! My Helper and Comforter! My Advocate! My Guide to guide me into ALL truth!!! You all love the scriptures but you don't pay attention to the part of scriptures that says the letter kills but the the Spirit gives life!!! Wolves in sheep clothing as been unknowingly entering flocks of disciples since the first century of the Church Age. So what do you see and hear 2000 years of this by now? Well, I tell you if you never heard and felt the manifestation of the Holy Spirit entering and residing in you, I fear for you all. Just imagining in your mind that the Holy Spirit resides in you because man, pastors, preachers or teachers convince you through the written scriptures that you are saved, so be it. Satan love these words, believe what though wilt.
whats the bad question? haha give me the shortcut here
Go here 46:02
Why do you teach works salvation? It's not true that a true Christian will show works if he's saved. Even if he doesn't show works he will be saved. You need to read the chapter in 2 Corinthians where the guy at judgment seat of Messiah did nothing and got no rewards but still got saved.
Hello Barry, please consider the following, 1) we do not teach a works based salvation. Romans 4:5 makes it clear that it is not to the one who works that God justifies. What we teach is that GOD HIMSELF does a work in salvation and that is what brings about the change in a person's life. 2) Romans 6 goes on to make it clear that the one united to Christ by faith has been transformed to where they are now obedient in their heart to God's standards. Obedience is now natural. It is not some forced religious duty one does to save themselves.... rather out of love for Christ the Christian obeys Him (John 14:15, 1 John 5:3). 3) In regards to "judgment seat... did nothing..." I am assuming you mean 1 Corinthians 3:15? The text does not teach that ALL of the works of a person will be burned up and that someone is saved having no works. Rather it teaches there are certain works, that verse 5 says have the motive of the heart disclosed and the motive was impure and thus the work was for self and not Christ. 4) Ephesians 2:10 loudly declares that God has prepared works beforehand that we should walk in them. God is going to make sure that happens because He has promised in the New Covenant to cause us to walk and obey His statues (Ezekiel 36:25-27).

Say,"O disbelievers,
I do not worship what you worship.
Nor are you worshipers of what I worship.
Nor will I be a worshiper of what you worship.
Nor will you be worshipers of what I worship.
For you is your religion, and for me is my religion."
( Protection for Idol Worshiper )
Quran 9:6
"And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear the words of Allah. Then deliver him to his place of safety. That is because they are people who do not know. "

( Friendship With Non Muslims )
Quran 60:8
'' God does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, God loves those who act justly. ''
( Do Christians And Jews and "OTHER" non-Muslims go to Heaven? )
Quran 2:62
'' Those who believe (in the Qur'an), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,-> ANY { On Judgement Day }
( According to the Quran Christians and Jews worship TRUE God )
(Quran 3:113-114)
'' Not all of them are alike: Of the People of the Book ( Christians and Jews ) are a portion that stand (For the right): They rehearse the Signs of God all night long, and they prostrate themselves in adoration. They believe in God and the Last Day; they enjoin what is right, and forbid what is wrong; and they hasten (in emulation) in (all) good works: They are in the ranks of the righteous.''
Note: According to the Quran that Jesus is not God nevertheless Christians still worship one '' TRUE '' God.
( > Allah < Is The Protector Of Monasteries, Churches, Synagogues And The Mosques )
Quran 22:40
[They are] those who have been evicted from their homes without right - only because they say, "Our Lord is Allah ." And were it not that Allah checks the people, some by means of others, there would have been demolished monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which the name of Allah is much mentioned. And Allah will surely support those who support Him. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might.
( Why Are There So Many Different Religions In The World ? )
Quran 5 48

Ultimately you all shall return to God; then He will show you the truth of those matters in which you > DISPUTE submission < to God), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter He will be in the ranks of those who have lost (Salvation)''
My explanation of above verse
Islam mean > submission < to God
( The above verse saying is that God will not accept a religion from the > MUSLIM < and the Non-Muslims but total > submission < to God.)
Question: How Can Muslim And the Non-Muslim > submit < to the God?
Answer: Be kind to other human beings and Do not lie, Do not steal, Do not cheat, Do not hurt others, Do not be prideful and Do the charity work.
( God Allow Muslims To Marry And Eat Food From the Christian And Jew And Vice Versa )

And [lawful in marriage are] chaste women from among the believers and chaste women from among those who were given the Scripture ( Christian and Jew) before you, when you have given them their due compensation, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual intercourse or taking [secret] lovers. And whoever denies the faith - his work has become worthless, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.''

My comment:
The > BASIC < message of God to the human is that '' YOU '' believe in God and be kind to other human beings / > animals < and in the > RETURNED < God will > REWARD < you with a new life in Paradise.
* The Quran ONLY guides you how to become a good human being "Nothing Else".
* You are a good human being or a bad human being that is YOUR choice.
* No one can force you to become a good human being.
* You MUST work HARD to become a good human being.
* Why should ''YOU'' do good deeds and avoid bad deeds?
* Do Good - it's for You. Do Bad - It's against you.
* '' YOUR'' life is a TEST from God that you will choose to do either Good or Bad.
* Find the excuse to help others and forgive others NOT the other way around.
* '' YOUR '' final destination is either Hell or Heaven.
* So work HARD toward choice of YOUR destination.
Quran 17:7
'' If you do good, you will do so for your own good. And if you do evil, it will be to your own loss.''

Modern terrorists derive their inspiration from Mohammed and carry out their despicable atrocities in the name of his god;

Modern day disciples of Mohammed respond to the terrorist attacks by cheering in the streets;
Modern day disciples of Christ are deeply grieved at past atrocities carried out by those who were "Christians" in name only (the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, etc.).
Many Muslims are peaceful and peace-loving because they do not strictly follow the teachings of their founder;
Many Christians are peaceful and peace-loving because they do strictly follow the teachings of their Founder (Romans 12:17-21).
Mohammed said the Koran is authoritative only in Arabic, and only in his dialect;
The Bible is authoritative in many languages around the world, for God knows all things and can inspire His Word in more than one language.
Mohammed hated music;
Jesus and His disciples sang hymns, and the Apostle commanded the Lord's Church to sing. (Matthew 26:30, Ephesians 5:19, Colossians 3:16)
Mohammed allowed that a Mullah, Imam, or Mufti of Islam can be a terrorist and moral animal like Osama bin Laden;
The Bible requires that a leader in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ must be above reproach, and when this is not true, Christians demand such a fallen leader be removed from leadership. (1 Timothy 3:1-7, 5:19-20)
Islam calls on its followers to observe Five Pillars, while all other aspects of life can be vulgar and not affect the Muslim's prospects in Paradise.
The Bible calls on the Christian to submit to the total change of his life by the Spirit of God-- NO area of life and thought is the choice of the follower. (Romans 12:1-2)

The Bible believing Christian looks forward to being with Jesus Christ and is delighted with that. (2 Corinthians 5:8)

The Koran (Qu'ran) is a terrorist manual which condones fighting, conflict, terror, slaughter, and genocide against those who do not accept Islam;
The Bible is a missionary manual to spread the gospel of peace to all the world (Romans 10:15).
Mohammed's Mission was to conquer the world for Allah;
Christ's mission was to conquer sin's penalty and power by substitutionary atonement (2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 3:18).
Mohammed considered Christ a good prophet;
Christ pronounced Mohammed to be a false prophet (John 10:10; Matthew 24:11).
Mohammed claimed that there was but one God, Allah;

Islam is geocentric, that is, the whole universe is centered on the Kaaba in the Grand mosque in Mecca in Arabia, and all Muslims pray facing that direction;
Jesus Christ is the center of all Christian worship and fellowship, for He is "in the midst" where his saints meet anywhere on earth. (Matthew 18:20, John 4:22-23)
Mohammed's Tomb: OCCUPIED!
Christ's tomb: EMPTY!
Islam must be received, or you can be killed for rejecting it:
The Faith offered by Jesus Christ is for "whosoever will" to receive, and all men are permitted to reject it. (Revelation 22:17, John 3:16)
Those who leave Islam are killed in most Islamic nations;
Those who leave the true Church of Jesus Christ are allowed to do so with no revenge.
Now, is a Muslim submitted to Allah and Islam because he loves Allah?
NO!
He dare not leave Islam, and he is loyal purely out of fear.
The true Bible believer is loyal to Jesus Christ purely out of love.
1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19 We love him, because he first loved us.
This concept is 100% alien to Islam-- There is no love in Islam-- Only fear and hate.

@@Syed_12 Thank you for your compliment. I appreciate that. Now try to become a genius, I mean a masterpiece genius of a peace-loving man like the Holy Bible said you to be instead the maker of war and hater in the Koran. OK?

I have a problem brothers and sisters this thought of mine is what's causing me to have some ill feeling towards God despite being a Christian, desiring to live for him, and loving him. What is causing this feeling and thoughts of mine that makes me have some sort of anger towards him is this: Why is it that God made some people more beautiful and handsome than others? I know people and Christians alike say all the time no that's not true everyone is equally beautiful and handsome but that's not true there are people who are universally beautiful and handsome and just to put that for an example. There's people like Gigi Hadid, Emma Watson, Angelina Jolie, Julia Robert's, and I can say the same thing about men. If we are all made in God's image and all are loved and created equal in his eyes than why are some people created not as pretty or not as handsome. And here again is where I'll point out that no its not true that it's our fallen nature or sin that sees people as ugly or unattractive, the truth is not everyone is created in equal measures of beauty. One that comes to mind is the story of Leah and Rachel where the Bible itself describes the sister as not being equal, it differentiates Rachel as beautiful in appearance and figure unlike her sister Leah. It was the Bible that pointed out this differentiation meaning it's not so much man's sinful heart that perceives ugly due to sin, while that can be the case, its very clear that the Bible even points out the fact that yes they aren't equal and weren't created in such same level of beauty. This to me is very hard to accept and I find God unfair about this because I do believe that it's the beauty of a person's soul, their inner being that is far more important and worth more than jewels. It's what counts while looks fade a way. But also I don't see how people say no she or he may be beautiful in the exterior but have ugly hearts on the inside. I dont believe that to be true. I think that it's hard to cope with that idea because I find God to be unfair that if we are all deeply loved by him equally why did he make some of his children beautiful and handsome while others have to deal with the fact that they aren't as attractive and are ugly such people get overlooked, rejected, mistreated, and made fun of. It just seems not right. Because while there are people who do have a beautiful exterior and an ugly heart there are also those who God has made and love, who are not only beautiful and handsome in the exterior but also love Jesus and have kind loving hearts in the inside. So God made some people who have to deal with the fact they have
they have to accept themselves with their body and their appearance even if its hard for them to accept their reality of being unattractive and this people work on building character and working on being a gentle, meek, kind hearted person on the inside, while on the other hand God made his other children who are very beautiful and handsome in ther exterior and who do seek him, who do love him, and have loving hearts as well, people said to be beautiful inside and out, and this people are not only beautiful on the inside and a Christian but also dont struggle as much because they love their outside as well that they can take care of that God blessed them with. It seems very unfair to me. I know they say looks fade over time but the truth is for those who make it in heaven they will look like their younger self with glorified bodies in heaven and that will always be the way they are. Im not here being conceited but I can speak for any men and any women who don't necessarily ask to be drop dead gorgeous or supermodels we just want to be happy with ourselves I don't think that's a bad thing. Yes, God does seem unfair I feel like if he loves us all equally and we are all made in his image then surely there shouldn't be people on the end of the spectrum dealing with so much hurt for something that they can't control. Yet their are people who do live in this world who are made beautifully and have kind hearts as well so for anyone saying no its not the outside that counts or no those beautiful people are stuck up, conceited, have ugly hearts, that's not true. Some people are just lucky enough to be born beautiful and even more better if they dont have pride and seek Jesus they become not only beautiful on the outside but very beautiful on the inside as well. But as for the other children God made we are here to work on being golden on the inside and trying to accept what we are dealt with how we are and how we look and continously fight of that insecurity. No, I believe as much as God made everyone beautiful and wonderful in his image the reality of the matter is no he didn't make everyone equal like that. And while there are people who never had to deal with being called ugly or made fun of and are blessed to be beautiful and loved and grow with kind hearts as a believer its just not the same for some of us we have to accept bullying we have to accept having to continously cast down our thoughts and find beauty in ourselves no matter if nobody sees it and at the same time work on being a beautiful gem internally. I hope my thoughts and explanation made sense I dont know how else to best put it. I hated that I was born Filipino, that I am Asian and ugly. I just think that if God made both women and both are dearly loved by him why didnt they both look lovely despite one woman being loved than the other.. it's true so many people in this world born like Taylor Hill, Alexandra Ambrosio, and theres some of us that are just average to ugly looking.. My hurt is coming from not about people. Leah's problem is that she felt overlooked and wanted to be beautiful to be seen and not live under her sisters shadow and most of all to be accepted and loved by her husband Jacob. Me its different. I didnt mind not being liked by the guy I like or going through rejection, relationship, or not gaining love or acceptance from the world. I didnt want to be pretty just to be loved or just for some other person to cherish me. For me I just wished God made me well, like some of his daughters, that im actually pretty so I can stand waking up in the morning and feeling okay with myself with some love without feeling a weight of discouragement so I can be okay with my own skin.I simply wanted God to make me at least somewhat beautiful and attractive like how he made his other daughters so that I can be happy and embrace myself for me because in the end of the day I have me to deal with and to take care of this body and soul I occupy and take good care for it till it grows old. I wanted to feel attractive and made beautiful and not in a vain way i know looks will fade but to just be okay to care of myself and actually feel not discouraged, brushing my hair, dress up just embracing being made as a female. Why couldn't he do that? I could never understand why he made some people exquisitely beautiful and handsome as his children and not his other childrens. I understand why some people would want to be beautiful maybe to be accepted by society, maybe for praise, maybe to be loved by the guy they want, well my reason is for me to just be okay and actually not hate myself to actually be strong as a women . I've been hurt by guys before and one thing I can say is I never wanted to be beautiful fir them I came to the knowledge in such a young age that humans have sinful nature pretty girls too get cheated on, hurt, betrayed, left but what I did thought deeply to myself is when all this people leave and guys who hurt leave I have to stand on my own always and love myself and feel pretty on my own and that's where I wish God made me beautiful because I'm strong enough to know that I can make it in this life just with me and God alone, though I would be happy enough to actually want God to make me like his other daughters beautiful too so I can live my life to the fullest and be happy and embrace myself with some love (again not in a vain obsessive way). It's like some of us are just not lucky. Instead I'm ugly and filipino. I felt cursed and unfortuante. I wish He had made me Caucasian, European, or Hispanic. But out of all the race im not lucky that im Asian and Filipino, that I have the features I have and look the way I do. I thought long and hard I hate my reality and the fate im given I hate looking Filipino but more so an ugly girl. Had he made me pretty I can actually be less mean to myself and not have this hurt feeling every time I try to just dress okay or look pretty in some days.. Granted many people are superficial, I can say for myself all I ever want is TO BE PRETTY FOR ME TO DRESS NICE FOR ME, its not for attention, I want to feel fine with combing my hair putting on a simple outfit and not hate myself. That would have been the best feeling in the world on top of loving God. I try to not let it get to me and always focus on my character and my heart as a person but it does hurt and it makes me wonder what is it with his other daughters that he had decided to make them born beautiful and gorgeous to occupy this world and he forgot to add some of us in it too. They are lucky very much so. Its like when he was creating his children he completely forgot to add a sparkle dust on me and he went overboard and threw the whole dust in some of his daughters and sons that he also loves and dies for.. I'm not looking to be a Rachel in this world for a handsome Jacob to love me nor a Leah who wants to be seen for Jacob. This is were my frustration stems from with God because after all he is the one that makes us all. I hate that I was born Filipino and look like one and am ugly Asian girl, out of all the race I could have become. I dont like waking up to my reality and hate the fate I have The truth of the matter is God didn't create us all equally granted we are all made in his image still that doesn't change the fact of the matter. To some very unfortunate as it is we just have to deal with the cards we are given and why God made some to be blessed and not go through the severity of the kind of treatment others get because of being born not as attractive and perceived us ugly ill never understand God for. No I understand no body is ugly because he made us in his image but it sure doesn't change the fact that he just so happens to make many who are blessed and are seen. i hate that I was born Filipino that I'm an Asian and ill never accept it that im this.. God shouldn't have he made me a mistake and if he doesn make a mistake well im just very unfortunate enough to be this way out of all the nationalities I could have been.. But I completely get the story Leah was favored and she received the greatest honor.
