John opens by saying if any man see his brother sin a sin not unto death he shall ask and he shall give them life for them that sin not unto death. Any sin that is not unto death is a sin that is repented of! A sin unto death would be a willful, continuous unrepentant sin! Ananias and Sapphira would be two examples of a sin unto death of two believers! John concludes not to pray for the unrepentant sinner because they have had many opportunities to repent but continue to willfully live in their sin. Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Church Nonsense!
Growing up in a small rural farm community in Nebraska my parents took us to a small town Methodist church for religious instruction. Here are some of my thoughts as a child attending services: Pastor, We will now close in a silent prayer. My thoughts, How will God know? God really must be smart! Pastor, We will now sing the 1st and 4th stanza only. My thoughts, What is wrong with the 2nd and 3rd stanza? Pastor, Are there any unspoken requests this morning? Please signify by raising your hands. My thoughts, God must be deaf? Pastor, We are blessed again this morning by Mrs. Magillicuddy who is going to sing her favorite song, “Through it all.” My thoughts, Not again? Can we do better than her? This woman hurts my ears! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Veteran’s Day! 2014
We honor our veteran’s today both men and women! Why is our President absent in China? An insult to our veteran’s! I have always opposed women in our military! I am from the old school (Bible), and I believe any culture worth it’s salt would protect it’s women from the horror’s of war! What happens to them if they are captured and become POW’s? We continue to have a high sexual assault rate on women in our armed forces! The liberal progressives continue their war on women. We honor our women who have and are serving but our hopes and prayers are they will not be exposed in our next big war! God Bless! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Warning to Gays and Lesbians! Romans 1:24, 26, 27, 32
Dear Pastor Brady Boyd, Paul in verse 32 says that those who do those things are worthy of death! Verse 31 says without natural affection which to me would mean a man attracted to a woman. It is interesting in verse 24, God gave them up to dishonor their own bodies between themselves. We often look at God delivering us from sin but it looks like here God is keeping us from sin! God is not just the medicine to treat the sin but He delivers us from the disease of sin! You mentioned Sunday that some gays have an attraction for each other but never perform the physical act! Jesus said that if I look on a woman with lust it is the same as committing the physical act!. It says in verse 18 of Romans, chapter one, that ungodly men attempt to restrain the truth through unrighteousness! The sin of gays and lesbians appears to be against creation itself! Greed is a sin no doubt but I have a problem lumping them together for Paul did not say greed was worthy of death! We appreciate our questions being addressed by you and presenting your answers on Sunday! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
The Good The Bad and The Ugly!
We were in a Methodist Church yesterday on Nevada Avenue here in Colorado Springs. We were looking into a ministry offered there. I like old churches since they have a lot of history behind them! They had a missions room where I really love to hang out! This church supports a church in Russia. They had photos of the church in Russia along with members from here who have gone there to help with the work. In one photo it shows the picture of the pastor from here with the Russian pastor shaking hands in the Russian church office. Really nice except for one thing? In between them hanging on the wall was a portrait of Lenin? Then I remembered the church in Russia is state run! In fact the Bishop of the Russian Orthodox church lives in the Kremlin with Putin! Where is Putin’s portrait in the church? I personally would make a dartboard out of their portrait’s and move their images to the church recreation room where the children could throw darts! We cannot change1500 years of church history in Russia but we can give them the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

The Safavid Empire ended with the death of it’s last ruler Ismail III who ruled from 1750 until his death in 1760. The Mughal Empire struggled with exhausting wars with the Maratha, internal strife, corruption, and revolts and fractured after 1719. The remaining loyal Mughal territory shrank throughout the next century and a half at the hands of the expanding British Empire and was finally absorbed into the British Raj in 1857. The last surviving Muslim Empire, the Ottoman Empire, collapsed in 1918 at the hands of the British Empire and it’s allies in the aftermath of World War I. On March 3, 1924 the institution of the Caliphate was abolished by President Mustafa Ataturk as part of his reform in creating Turkey as a secular state from the remnants of the collapsed Islamic multi-ethnic Ottoman Empire.

Abu Bakar Al-Baghdadi
This is not a good old Irish name! He is the leader of the ISIS. This stands for Islamic State for Iraq and Syria. Abu was in US custody between 2005 and 2009. In 2009 President Obama released him? As a result over the past few weeks 40000 Christians have fled Iraq! They had to leave their houses, land and possessions behind! Many have been decapitated, hung on Crosses or enslaved. Sadly we have a leader in the white house who is working hard to bring America down! He is doing a very good job! Christians around the world have never been at a higher risk for persecution than during his time in office! All of us wonder the outcome for us and the world for the next two years! Does he plan to leave office? Does he plan to create more civil unrest and declare emergency powers? If America survives Obama we may be able to pick up the pieces and establish America in her greatness once again! Our allies do not trust us and our enemies do not fear us! We need to trust Christ more than ever as we tread into uncertain waters on a ship with a captain we cannot trust! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse GodWhoisGod.com

John Adams Letter to Thomas Jefferson 1813
Now I will avow, that I then believe that those general Principles of Christianity, are as eternal and immutable, as the Existence and Attributes of God; and that those principles of Liberty, are as unalterable as human Nature and our terrestrial, mundane System. President John Adams wrote this letter on June 28, 1813, excerpt from a letter to Thomas Jefferson.
History Endorses The Bible! Genesis 16:11-12
God told Hagar one of the wives of Abraham that her son Ishmael would be a wild man with his hand against every man and every man’s hand against him! The Book of Genesis was written about 1450 BC by Moses during the wilderness wandering after leaving Egypt. Abraham lived about 420 years before Moses. Islam did not come along until about 650 AD. So this prophecy about Ishmael and the Arabs was given about 2100 years before Islam came along. This family feud between the Jews and the Arabs has gone on for thousands of years. All Islam did for the Arabs was legitimize their hatred towards Christians and Jews. There is no political solution for this problem and no military solution. This is a spiritual battle that wages on through the flesh! There can only be a spiritual solution for a spiritual problem! God reconciled Himself to man through His Son Jesus Christ. When we reject the Blood of Christ as the atonement then man’s blood will flow! Christ came to make us spiritual brothers and this peace is the only lasting peace man will ever know and experience!
