Death Before Sin?

The Fossil record is a record of disease, sin and death! Palaeontologists have discovered carnivorous activity with cancerous tumors and thorns in the fossil record! The evolutionist claim that there were millions of years of death and bloodshed before Adam sinned does not hold water! When we put millions of years of time into the Bible like this suddenly portions of scriptures make no sense. Death could not have occurred because of Adam’s sin because death was there before his sin. Hebrews 9:22…without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness… What would the shedding of blood have to do with the forgiveness of sin if death preceded sin for millions of years? Source: Creation Ministries International Comment: Science and the fossil record verify the scriptures of sickness, disease and death after the fall of Adam through sin to the whole world! By one man sin entered into the world (Romans 5:12-13). Charles Darwin an atheist claimed according to his Theory of Evolution that the world is a story about the survival of the fittest? The fossil record shows everything dies according to science! So who is fittest? No one! Not the plants, animals or humans! Sin was initiated by man against God and the consequences have been with us throughout history! What you do with your sin has everything to do with your future! Deny it or repent of it! I have been forgiven of my sin through Christ who died for my sin! He has promised to raise me from the dead! What does that mean? I will still die a physical death! Flesh and blood cannot enter the Kingdom of God! My physical death will prove I am a sinner saved by grace! Raised up from the dead into eternal life to be with Christ forever! You can also have this promise if you will trust Christ with your sin, sickness and death and not claim the sin that separates you from God! Repent of it! Own it then give it to Jesus! Confess your sin and he is faithful and just to forgive you your sin! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Repentance before Christ? Mark 1:4

Greek Translation: “John did the act of washing in water in the wilderness and proclaimed righteousness with the baptism of repentance changing their minds from evil to good with a speech of rough breath and acute accent to move them in the direction towards the remission or the temporary bypassing of sin.” Commentary: Did you get that? The temporary bypassing of sin is the way it is translated in the Greek! This was before the Cross! Jesus completed the job at Calvary for a permanent bypassing of sin! So the question begs to be asked were the Old Testament Saints saved? They were temporarily saved by the act of looking forward to the Cross! All the writers of the Old Testament were looking forward to the Cross! If you look back to the Cross today you have a temporary salvation until in Faith you accept what Christ has done for your sin! Everyone who has ever lived will either look back to their sin or look back to the Cross at the Judgment Seat of Christ! Right now which is it? If you see your sin on the Cross you are saved! If you look back and only see your sin you are condemned forever! Happy Easter! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Before & After! Isaiah 11:2, Revelation 4:5

Isaiah has a picture of Heaven! He has a vision of our Messiah in Heaven hundreds of years before his incarnation to earth at Bethlehem! The six spirits of God are resting on Christ making the number seven a sign of completion! Revelation chapter four is the same picture in Heaven of our Messiah except this is after his ascension from earth back to Heaven! However in verse 5 we see thunder and lightning which represents judgment! Christ here in Revelation is preparing for his second coming back to earth to judge the living and the dead! His first coming was as a lamb or sacrifice but his second coming he is the judge of all. Judgment to those that have rejected his sacrifice for their sin! Jesus first coming was as a lamb but at his second coming as a lion! The Holy Spirit is the active agent in Heaven and on earth! A crucial part of the Trinity! The Holy Spirit came upon Mary to impregnate her with our Messiah! When Jesus was baptized by John in the Jordan River the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus! This is why baptism is an important ordinance of the church! Then when Jesus ascended back to Heaven he promised to send his Holy Spirit to his church at Pentecost! Jesus role in Heaven was different before his incarnation! His role on earth was different! At his second coming his role will be different! However he is the same God with the same mission to redeem the earth and administer final judgment on those who have rejected him! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

First & Last! Isaiah 44:6

Hebrew Translation: “Thus says the King with Divine authority giving statutory laws to frame moral character. This is the King of Israel. I am the Redeemer a deliverer paying a ransom for your sin. I am the Lord of hosts directing my army of troops in Heaven who are in military service to me. I am first in place, time and rank. I am last concluding everything. Beside me there is no God.” Comment: Remember the words of Jesus in Revelation 22:13? I am the Alpha and the Omega! The first and the last! Why is he first? He is the cause of creation! Jesus was before all things! Very opposite to Darwin and evolution where he believed there was no God so with him everything began with man! When Jesus said he is the end it does not mean his extinction! Jesus meant his goal is reached redeeming men from death, Hell and the grave! Jesus is last for the conclusion of everything! He concludes with grace and judgment! You cannot have one without the other! You either let Jesus take your judgment on the Cross or you take your own judgment condemned to Hell.  Remember Matthew 20:16? Jesus said the last shall be first and the first shall be last! Lazarus the beggar was last in this world and the rich man was first! Then after the judgment Lazarus was first and the rich man was last! Jesus being first in time, order and rank will pass out rewards and punishments! If you have ever been in the military service you know the highest ranking military officer determines the rank of the rest of the unit! He will promote who he will. He will demote who he will. One day every knee will bow and every tongue shall confess Jesus Christ is Lord! You will do this from either Heaven or Hell. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Infinite Versus Finite! Isaiah 46:10

“Declaring and bringing forward the end or future rewards from the beginning or first with regard to order, rank and time; from the ancient times or front of place that are not yet done, saying, my counsel or wisdom and advice shall stand and I will accomplish my delightful pleasure with affection.” Comment: The word end used here in Hebrew means future rewards! Like the resurrection from the dead! The word beginning in the Hebrew also has a fascinating meaning! It means first in order, rank and time! This same Hebrew word is the first word used in the Bible recorded in Genesis 1:1. In the beginning God created…… God expressed His character here in creation! The words ancient times means the position of the front of a place that is not yet done! Then God said my counsel, wisdom and advice will be accomplished with affection! Remember what Jesus said? I am the first and the last! The Alpha and the Omega! Jesus said He was before the beginning! Jesus always was and always will be! He is eternal. Remember in the beginning was the Word? He was before creation! What was His pleasure with affection! The birth of His Son Jesus Christ into the earth! What was God’s affection! To redeem His creation from sin! Whether you recognize it or not your future is in God’s hands! He placed His hands on a Cross for you! Could you not fold your hands in prayer to Him? Why not begin with Him and end with Him!

Living on the Edge! 2017 A.D.

Those that assert that he was a mere man, begotten by Joseph….being ignorant of him who from the virgin Emmanuel…are deprived of his gift, which is eternal life. Not receiving the incorruptible Word, they remain in mortal flesh and debtors to death, not obtaining the antidote to life. Irenaeus of Lyons (130-202 A.D.), Early Church Father and Apologist. Comment: It is obvious whether the 2nd Century or the 21st Century that Christmas does bring out the best in us and the worst in people! People like then or now are living on the edge of eternity! It has been said people all die sooner than expected! Where is you expectation placed? In this world? I do not watch Fox News on a regular basis but last night at the evening meal we tuned in! They had the “Five”, on and the subject of Christmas was brought up! Being a conservative network I thought this would be interesting! I was in for surprise! One of the five said I do not believe the Christmas story! Another confirmed his belief! One of the ladies spoke up and said, “Well, it is good to know something about Christmas because it can help you in your career!” Really? Career? She should ask Bill O’reilly and others that have fallen before her! They are like mental patients looking out through the bars of their windows planning what they will do after retirement! The Christmas scrooge is alive and well! Christmas brings our in people their spiritual condition! A career is really what we will do for all eternity! What are we going to do forever? How you begin your eternal career depends on what you with Christ here while living here on earth! You can live to appease the political correct crowd but you will be corralled with them in the same pen! Should I bring up Hell during Christmas? Without Hell Christmas is meaningless! I thought I would mention it since I do not hear it from the American pulpits anymore? Jesus said if you deny me before men I will deny you before the Father! Sorry God does have a gender! If you do not believe the virgin birth then you will not believe anything about Christ! You then believe the lie there is no Heaven and no Hell. Believing one lie about God will cause you to promote other lies about God! Do not ignore the largest part of your eternity and sell out your birthright for some manna! A career separated from God for eternity is the worst Christmas gift you could ever acquire! Receive His gift of eternal life and change your destiny! Your destiny is your choice but do not be deceived by Satan to believe a lie about God! Merry Christmas! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Promise Made 700 Years Before Birth of Christ!

Isaiah 1:27 Zion shall be redeemed by the price I will pay! Your ownership will transfer back to me! Her converts will turn back to me and depart from evil. Righteous will be the evidence that they have a restored relationship with me and with men! (Hebrew Translation)
