Is “Sware” a Good Word? Deuteronomy 6:13

When I was a small boy my mommy told me not to sware! I always though that to sware was using a bad word. Deuteronomy 6:13 says, “Thou shall fear the Lord thy God, and serve Him and shall sware by His name.” The word serve here means to labor or work. I cannot have a tithe or offering for God unless I work. The word sware here means to repeat something seven times. The number seven in scripture is a number meaning completion. Such as seven days in a week or seven days in Creation of the world. It means to take an oath. The Lord swears by Himself because there is none greater! God swore to Bless Abraham’s descendants! God also swore by His Holiness to lead Israel into captivity. Abraham made his servants sware an oath to get Isaac a wife from Abraham’s own people. In Revelation 10:6 the Angel swares by Him that liveth forever Creator of Heaven and earth and that time shall be no longer. In our Bible the word is used 80 times in different scripture. Here this word is the same meaning for both the Hebrew and Greek word. Do not confuse the word vain with the word sware used in scripture. The word vain used in the 3rd Commandment in Exodus 20:7 is a very different word! This word means to use words to try to ruin His name! To use vanity, deceit and lies to spread a falsehood about God. One example would be in the Koran where it says Jesus did not die on the Cross! Vain means to use words to devalue God! Vanity means to no purpose! When we command and sware in Christ’s name to heal the sick or cast out demons then we are using His name with purpose to establish Heaven on earth! Thankyou.

Islam and War India

The Moplah rebellion in 1921, (also known as the Mopla riots) was a British-Muslim and Hindu-Muslim conflict in Malabar Kerala. It involved forced conversion to Islam! There were clashes that provoked arsonists who took to the streets burning and destroying government property! At first the focus was on the British but then turned into a Jihad against Hindus. A wave of a great number of killings and massive forced conversions to Islam swept the region! The most serious acts of violence spread the Madras now Chennai. Source; Encyclopedia Britannica.  Comment: The biggest number of deaths caused by Muslims occurred in North India Centuries earlier when millions lost their lives! A new religion evolved out of this conflict and will be covered in a later report. For those who say Islam is a religion of peace have to completely deny history! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse.

Sanctuary Cities Numbers 35:9-34

God made it clear to Moses that these cities were to be provided to those who have killed by accident or by none intended error! An example would be a ox owner who’s ox breaks down a fence and then kills a small child. The sanctuary cities were not for criminals intending to do others harm! They were not for law breakers! There was always a trial and if someone murdered someone else the shedding of guilty blood was required to atone for the innocent blood. God viewed the shedding of innocent blood a pollution on the land and only the shedding of the guilty blood would remove the pollution of sin on the land! It is interesting that those who were sentenced to the refuge cities had to remain there the rest of their lives except on the death of the High Priest! After the death of the High Priest they were released and their full rights were restored! Notice it does not count if the High Priest got murdered! The blood of the innocent could only be avenged by the blood of the murderer. The death of our High Priest Jesus Christ who was innocent of our sin took our sin to free us from guilt and sin! In the Old Testament the guilty blood avenged the innocent blood! In the New Testament the innocent blood avenged the guilty blood! Just the opposite! Jesus was not murdered! He voluntarily went to the Cross! Is your sin a  sanctuary living inside of you? Do you feel at home in your sin? No one knows but you and God! The High Priest has died and rose again! Do you believe He has died and rose again for you? If you do then act upon your belief! Leave the prison of your soul! Accept the work that was finished for you over 2000 years ago! Take refuge in Christ! Don’t try to make it on your own efforts! It has never been done! There will be no trial for you because He will judge the living and the dead! He has commuted your sentence! He paid it all! Let His Grace come alive in you! Grace is God doing for you what you cannot do for yourself! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Koran and the Bible the Same?

According to Pope Francis they are? The spiritual leader of the Catholic world addressed his followers stressing the importance of religious tolerance! The smiling Pope Francis told his Vatican guests that the Koran and the spiritual teachings contained therein, are just as valid as the Holy Bible! Jesus Christ, Jehovah and Allah are all means employed to describe an entity that is distinctly the same all over the world! He went on to say together we can bring in an age of peace. Source: The National Report, October 18, 2015. Comment: Ignorance is Bliss! I assume the Pope has read the Bible? Does he believe it? Has he read the Koran? I doubt it? To actually say this you would have to be a spiritual midget! Is this Pope to be the False Prophet who rules with the Anti-Christ? In my life time I have never heard this rhetoric from a Pope? Wow! We are really close to the one world government! If the world follows this advice and the advice of President Obama we could see the biggest slaughter of Christians in history! Thankyou.

American Decline

Offendedness is just about the last shared moral currency in our country! And, I’m sorry, but is really annoying. We don’t discuss idea’s or debate arguments, we try to figure out who is the most offended? Pastor Kevin DeYoung  Comment: My Bible says the fear of man is a snare but the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. If we spend our time fearful about whether we offend this group or that group then the creativity God has deposited in us is blocked! When the creativity of a culture is reduced the nation declines! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Glorified Free Speech!

Sermons remain one of the last forms of public discourse where it is culturally forbidden to talk back! Harvey Cox, Harvard Divinity School.  Comment: It is an opportunity for people to shut their mouths for about sixty minutes and actually learn something! If I were a Pastor today I would not have a E-mail address! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Is Your Church Loved by the World?

The very Church which the world likes best is sure to be that which God abhors! Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892)  Comment: The cultural issues in America are often ignored by the Church simply because many Pastor’s want to be a friend of the world. It is better to be a friend of God because in eternity nothing else will matter! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Prosperity and Suffering

For in prosperity a man is often puffed up with pride, whereas tribulations chasten and humble him through suffering and sorrow. In the midst of prosperity the mind is elated, and in prosperity a man forgets himself; in hardship he is forced to reflect on himself, even though he is unwilling. In prosperity a man often destroys the good he has done; amidst difficulties he often repairs what he long since did in the way of wickedness.  King Alfred (849-899 A.D.)  Comment: When I suffer I remember the Cross and what He has done for me and through me! My suffering will never save anyone but it is still the best medicine you can take for the soul. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

The Pope and Politics!

The separation of church and state was dead when it came to Pope Francis visit to America! The Pope got on the State Bandwagon! Why was the Pope well received? Because he kissed babies? Earlier this year the Pope was asked about the homosexual lifestyle? His response was why should I be a judge? The community here in America thought he had caved in on homosexual behavior! There was a song back in the 1960’s that went, “Hey, Mr. Postman have you got a letter for me?” Hey, Mr. Popeman do you read your mail? God’s letters to him are in his Bible! There are over 200 scriptures in the Bible on judgment! My Bible says that Jesus is coming back to judge the living and the dead! His judgment will be based on a document called, “The Holy Bible.” Pope Francis why should we judge Hitler, Stalin, Ben Laden and Islamic terrorists? Don’t resist just surrender! The Pope is also on the Global Warming and the United Nations one world government scheme! The Bible makes it clear that homosexual activity is a sin! If the Pope does not have the guts to tell the truth I will! On the 200 scriptures in our Bible on judgment here is one of them! Revelation 11:18 “And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and thou will give rewards to thy servants the prophets and the saints and to them that fear thy name small and great, and should destroy them that destroy the earth.” Note: The word earth used here refers to the sin of the inhabitants that pollutes the earth!
