As with Christianity, the worst advertisement for socialism is its adherents! George Orwell, (Pen Name), Eric Arthur Blair (1903-1950), English Novelist, Born in Motihart, Bihar, British India. Comment: Mr. Blair is no longer with us but I would remind him and others that the difference between the world and the Christian is that we who are in Christ are forgiven sinners and those outside of Christ are unforgiven sinners! This condition is what separates all people between Heaven and Hell. James and Hamsa Sasse, GodWhoisGod.com

Why Suffer? Revelation 1:9
Greek Translation: I John, who also am among you a brother of the same womb (Born Again) and companion in tribulation. In tribulation of being broken, squeezed, crushed with the pressure of a burden upon my spirit in a confined space (Prison). And in the Kingdom of God under all circumstances with endurance towards people. I was in the isle of Patmos, for the Word of God and for the testimony being a witness, certifying and declaring Jesus Christ. Comment: Suffering by the world brings death! Suffering by God has brought men Salvation! John suffered for a testimony of Jesus Christ! Suffering in Christ brings purpose in your life! To live is Christ and to die is gain! We have an interesting story about India. We spent two of our three years there on a remote mountain village named Yercaud in South India. They had an old English church up there that had the graveyard surrounding the church! I explained in a previous post why the British did this. Since I had to walk through the cemetery to get to the front door of the church I noticed some of the grave markers. There were two grave markers of a missionary couple from England that spent their whole life preaching the Gospel in India! But I noticed next to their graves was a little grave marker of a four year old girl. This was their daughter who died of malaria while ministering to the people of India! I wrote there names down and then inquired of the elders of the village if anyone knew about them? An old man in the village told me the story his grandfather told him many years ago. This couple had a powerful ministry bringing hundreds of Hindus and Muslims to Christ! They had been appointed to a three year mission work to India. However after their daughter died there they spent the rest of their lives ministering in India! They decided their daughter’s death would not be in vain! Her sacrifice was not to be wasted! Jesus said, “This do in remembrance of me!” As we take the bread and the cup let us remember he did not let the cup pass from him! A sacrifice was provided to you for your Salvation! Remember him when you are suffering for he has never forgotten you! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Case Against Socialism Isaiah 62:8
The Lord has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for your enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for which thy has labored. Comment: I know what the socialists will say! Well Jesus said to love your enemies! Right? Let us look at the Greek word “Agape”. This Greek word is not found in Classical Greek but is only used in revealed religion! Here is the key to this word used for our English word love! This word when used is not doing what the person loved desires but what the one who loves deems as needed by the one loved! This is central to understanding what Jesus meant! Jesus love is not based on what we want but on what we need! If people wanted Salvation then the whole world would be saved and we could close up our churches and go home! Most people are not in love with God but with the world and themselves! Ever try to sell someone what they don’t want? Like selling a comb to a bald man! However I was blind but now I see! So the Jesus standard of love is to give people what they need not what they want! Socialism is all about people getting what they want! Free stuff! Do not have to work for it let someone else do the work! Theft! Why did God invent work? Work is a sacrifice! God’s whole Kingdom is built on a sacrificial system! Work is a sacrifice! Jesus sacrificed himself on a Cross for us! God worked 6 days in creation and rested on the 7th day! Should he expect less from us? God has made provision for those who cannot work! Work is the only vehicle that brings out our gifts God has given us! We love our enemies by sharing Christ with them! It is tough because most do not want him! They trust the world and themselves rather than God! James and Hamsa Sasse, GodWhoisGod.com
I Am That I Am! Exodus 3:14
The Hebrew word for this English phrase is “Hayah”. Strongs # 1961. This Hebrew word is also related to another Hebrew word “Havah”. Strongs #1933. What is interesting is that these words are not nouns but verbs! So they represent an action or initiation of something! The first word describes God as “to exist.” He always was and always will be! He does not fade off into history like men! The second Hebrew word used means to “breathe.” Do not confuse this word with the two Hebrew words used in Genesis 2:7 and Genesis 6:17. In Genesis 2:7, Strongs #5387, the word breath means a Divine inspiration with intellect. The word breath used in Genesis 6:17, Strongs 7307, means a violent exhaustion of air and spirit. Like giving up the ghost! At Creation God the I Am That I Am, initiated his breath into man with Divine inspiration and intellect! At Noah’s flood in Genesis 2:7, the word breath means a violent exhaustion of air and spirit by death! At birth we receive God’s breath! At death we exhaust God’s breath! At Creation our life is established by his breath! We are established with his breath! We did not evolve! So our breath is not our own! So you have to be careful what you say! Some people have bad breath! Do we praise God or curse him with bad breath? Do we exalt God or ourselves? Every good or evil action is initiated with the breath of our words! Again our breath is not our own! Who is the owner of your breath? When Jesus raises us from the dead again one day we will have breath again! Both believers and unbelievers! Remember the story Jesus told of Lazarus and the rich man? It is found in Luke 16:19-31. Lazarus the beggar was taken to Heaven and the rich man to Hell. There was a great gulf between the two abodes! The rich man begged Abraham to warn his brothers still on earth to the Hell that awaits them unless they repent! Abraham told the rich man in Hell that his brothers had Moses and the Prophets! Abraham told the rich man that if they will not believe them then they will not believe one though raised from the dead! So God was really telling Moses to tell Pharaoh that I am the breath that all men have! I am the God that breathes breath into men! I am the Creator of all living things! Pharaoh you have not evolved by your own works! Pharaoh since you are using my breath that I gave you do not abuse me in unbelief towards me! Jesus said we must be born again! I second breath or wind! Before being born again I cursed God with my breath! No I praise him with the same breath! Pharaoh rejected the God that gave him breath and he and his army was drowned in the Red Sea! In the time of Noah the world except for 8 souls were drowned in the flood! Remember Lucifer who became Satan the Praise Leader of Heaven? Remember the fallen Angel? He used the breath of God to Glorify God then he used the same breath to oppose God! He rebelled against God in Heaven and was cast down to earth with 1/3 of the angels! Now they use the breath of God to oppose his Kingdom here on earth! Satan has many followers over the generations that have lived since the Garden of Eden! Is your breath used to raise doubts about God or affirm him? After the resurrection of the dead we will have breath again! Some to everlasting life and some to judgment! The Praise of the Saints will be beautiful but the screams of Hell deafening! Remember this! What you did with God’s breath while here on earth will determine your outcome in eternity! You are not your own you have been bought with a price!If I were God I would be reluctant to give mortal men my breath! Very risky! Will they praise me or curse me? With the breath of God Jesus said on the Cross,” Father forgive them for they know not what they do”! Crucify Him! One day every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord! Why not start now while you have breath! Worship the I Am That I Am! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Excited about Christmas? Revelation 5:11-13
It is to be good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas, when its mighty founder was a child Himself! Charles Dickens (1812-1870), English writer considered the greatest novelist of the Victorian era.
No Law No Freedom! Romans 13:4
The end of the law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom! For in all the states of created beings of law, where there is no law there is no freedom! John Locke (1632-1704) English Philosopher and Physician. Comment: My concern for America is there is a growing breakdown of law! James
Evolution versus Creation! Genesis 1:1
“In the nineteenth Century many Anglican Theologians, both evangelical and Catholic, embraced positively the proposal of evolution” Arthur Peacocke (1924-2006), Biochemist and Theologian. Comment: He tried in vain to reconcile evolution with creation! Here is a quote from Charles Darwin (1809-1882); “During these two years I was led to think much about religion, while I was on board the Beagle I was quite orthodox and I remember being laughed at by several of the officers (though themselves orthodox), for quoting the Bible as an unanswerable authority on some point of reality. I suppose it was the novelty of the argument that amused them, but I had come gradually, by this time, to see the Old Testament from its manifestly false history of the world, with the Tower of Babel, rainbow as a sign, ect., ect., and from the attributes of God the feeling of a revengeful tyrant, was no more to be trusted than the sacred books of the Hindus, or the beliefs of any barbarian.” Here is a quote from John Dewey (1859-1952), “It (modern philosophy), certainly exacts a surrender to all supernaturalism and fixed dogma and rigid institutionalism with which Christianity has been historically associated.” Both Darwin and Dewey were both atheists yet considered the founders of modern Public Education here in America? With theologians jumping on board with the evolutionists it is easy to see how it became a foundation for public education! Creation and evolution are opposed to each other and can never be reconciled! Theologians have tried and we get the gap theory and many other attempts to reconcile! It is like trying to reconcile Heaven and Hell. It is dancing with the Devil. When you divorce God from science what do you get? Junk science! True science will always support scripture! We have fake news today and have had fake science for generations! Darwin came up with a model for our existence however the only way it would work was to exclude God! A fool as said in his heart there is no God! The tragedy here is this false system is taught to our children from primary grades through college! Science has come a long way since Darwin, Dewey and Peacocke! Today we know the age of the earth, planets, sun, moon and stars are all the same age! This fits the creation model in Genesis 1:1. We learn new things from science everyday however without Faith it is impossible to please God! If you trust God and not lean on your own understanding things will work out and you see scriptures validated! The most destructive thing we can do is take Faith in God away from our children! We have requested from President Trump to nationalize school vouchers so that private schools will grow and Faith re-established to our children! Here are some statistics from the Department of Education for 2016. Thirty two million Americans cannot read! Twenty percent of all graduating high school students cannot read! This is what billions of dollars of your tax dollars has accomplished! When the Bible was the text book for colonial America the literacy rate was 98 percent! So where does public education go next? Normalizing and promoting homosexual behavior, lesbians, transsexuals and Islam! Teaching other languages other than English and works overtime to destroy the Jewish-Christian model for living! The left wing of the Democrat Party is behind these promotions of evil. Where will it end if we stay on present course? Hell. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Groundwork for our U.S. Constitution!
This Bible is for the government of the people, by the people and for the people! John Wycliffe (1320-1384) He is most notably known as the Morning Star of the Reformation! He translated the Bible from Latin to English! He rejected the Doctrine of Transubstantiation! He sacrificed his life fighting for the common man and the abuses of the Clergy! Printing Bibles in English and getting them into the hands of the common man was a threat to the aristocracy! Thanks to John Wycliffe we have our English Bibles today! The principalities and powers of darkness declared John a heretic and dug up his corpse and burned it and scattered the ashes into the River Swift that flows through Butterworth England!
Do Bible Translations Matter? 1 Chronicles 16:3
If you are a student of the Word of God then it does matter! If God created the Heavens and the Earth by His Word then His Word matters! If you believe your Bible is the Word of God then your translation is important! Let us zero in on verse 3 and the later part of this verse. The King James Version (KJV) and the American King James Version (AKJV) translate the last part of this verse as “a flagon of wine.” A flagon is a flask or container for liquids. However the following 5 English translations; American Standard Version (ASV), Basic English Translation (BBE), Webster Revision, World English Bible and the English Revised Version say something very different? They render this English translation as a “cake of raisons.” Is it a jug of wine or a cake? Why does it matter? They cannot be both right? Here is the problem! If you look at verse 3 in it’s totality you have 3 elements listed! The bread, wine and flesh! This with the preceding and following verses presents a picture of Communion in the Old Testament! A cake of raisons completely throws this concept away! There are even more translations out there but I strongly make a case for the King James Version! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
The Dream Team!
Hillary is a racist because she only tells white lies but let us not forget black lies matter! Illegal immigrants are in the best physical shape here in America however even they have lost their edge because now they just walk across the border hoping to be caught and made American citizens at the stroke of a pen! Then they are immediately marched down to the Democratic party registration booth! When you go to the election booth next November look for people who cannot speak English! For all you legal American citizens out there welcome to the New America! James Sasse GodWhoisGod.com
