  2. Just acknowledging the Men of God who shared the Gospel and did what had to be done for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Its time to pick up the mantle and preach preach preach the word no matter the consequence. For God I live For God I Die . I got to carry my own CROSS soberly with a vigilant mindset!!!

  6. Jesus asked Judas to betray him. There isn’t any other logical explanation. Throngs of Christians went to their death without ever having seen the Christ but for someone who knew the Christ personally and witnessed all of his miracles to betray him for 20 pieces of silver defies logic.

    2. That’s foolishness. Judas was believing in a rebellion. He did not see Jesus as the Messiah. He saw him as the next rebellious leader who would overthrow Rome. He was blinded by his hatred for Rome but caved in at the last moment because of the pressure of the Jewish leaders. After he completed his betrayal, he had a moment of clarity and realized what he had done, similar to the moment of clarity Peter got after the cock crowed 3 times. He was so overcome with guilt and grief that he killed himself. And it was 30 pieces of silver, which is also significant. But that’s for another day.

  8. Climate change are the (science based) Curses in the Book of Deuteronomy. The Curses say the sky will be like copper (climate change is causing forest fires that make the sky like copper with smoke). To limit global warming to 1.5 degrees C and stop further global warming we will need to stop emitting CO2 and greenhouse gases. People do not want to do that, so many people will need to lay down their lives for the sheep of Jesus and the hunter gatherers who live according to “lay not your treasures up on earth where rot and rust doth corrupt and thieves break in and steal.” To not emit greenhouse gases people will need to live like the Amish, growing their own food and not emitting greenhouse gases. Did Jesus come to bring the sword for people to fall on and lay down their lives? Would people prefer to take the Peaceful Pill and lay down their lives? If we do not “love the Lord with all our heart and all our soul and all our might” and love the Lord’s Creation (Mother Earth) with all our heart and all our soul and all our might and help those emitting greenhouse gases to lay down their lives, then the Earth wil keep getting hotter and hotter and become hot as hell. It is time for people to ask Jesus into their hearts and say the Lord’s Prayer, and listen to a “still quiet voice” asking us to separate the sheep who do not emit greenhouse gases from the goats who emit greenhouse gases and contribute to global warming, climate change and the (science based) Curses of Deuteronomy.

    1. Watch who you worship, Bruce. “Science” can become a cult. Just like people who worship politics or sexuality or money, you are walking a dangerous line of caring more about the creation than the creator.
