The Spin Stops Here!
We now have 3 replies to our question, “What language did God speak at Creation?” Before the Tower of Babel the world only spoke one language! When God divided the language did the original language continue? Were the other languages derived from the original language? Mr. Jackson from India says, “Whatever the language everyone understood it!” Good answer! Except maybe Eve? Did God say? Mr. Chu from China says, “Who cares?” Obviously Mr. Chu has higher priorities! Mr. Yousaf from Pakistan says, “Every time someone curses that must have God’s original language!” Really bad Mr. Yousaf! I want to ask you another question that may help answer the first question! What was the mother tongue of Jesus? Be careful because many Christian’s get this one wrong! There is a good video presentation on YouTube that may help you! The Title is; The Language of Jesus: Hebrew or Aramaic? Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Marrying and Given in Marriage? Matthew 24:37-39
I always thought Jesus was talking about traditional marriage between a man and a woman! I thought Jesus was trying to communicate that things were carrying on as before and then suddenly He returns! However, a Jewish Rabbi Charne Dov Keller has a different perspective! In the ‘Inside Israel Newsletter’, (Vol. 13, No. 7), he writes in the ‘Jewish Observer’, ‘The Midrash (Acharie Mos) tells us that the Generation of the Flood was wiped out only because they wrote marriage contracts between males just as they did for conventional couples! We can better understand the cultural expression ‘only because’ as meaning the ‘singular primary reason’ in importance as the cause why God brought the Flood upon the world at that time in antiquity! The next destruction was Sodom and Gomorrah for the same reason! The Apostle Jude warns us in verse 7 of our history and mentions going after strange flesh meaning homosexuality and bestiality! Is Rabbi Keller correct? If he is then that means we are very close to the Rapture of His Church and God’s hammer of Judgment coming on the world! Some Pastor’s claim all sin is the same? What about Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit which is the unpardonable sin! What ever my sin is or your sin is we need to repent quickly! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Muslim Conquests in India Create New Religion!
Muslim conquests of the Indian subcontinent mainly took place from the 12th to 16th centuries. There was a limited incursion by Muslims in the 8th century. The slaughter of Hindu’s and Buddhists was severe and the Indian culture was looking for a way to accommodate the convert and die demands of Islam! The beautiful thing about Christianity is it is not convert or die but convert and live! Guru Nanak (1469-1549), founded a religion that included Islam, Hinduism and some Sufi mysticism. He began teaching in 1515 A.D. and today has a following of about 30 million Sikhs! Sikhism combines these as a way of reconciliation with the Muslims. What I did find with boots on the ground 3 years in India that they are the most challenging people to witness the Gospel of Jesus Christ too! They are a very bold people but yet respectful! When Britain and the United States were fighting the Japanese in Burma during World War II were quoted as saying, “We do not fear the Brits or Americans but we do fear the Sikhs!” Sometimes they get upset with our Gospel Tract, Who is God? This is because we address both elements of their religion. I do not want any people group to miss out on Christ so I proceed at any cost! In Christ’s Love. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Who is God? Daniel 12:3
A very good question! There are a lot of different answers to this question. Some people say, “There is no God.” Your answer to this question will determine how you treat other people and where you will spend eternity! Our belief about who God is will also determine whether we worship God or worship ourselves. If we love God then we will love people! We have three major religions in this world. They are opposite each other, therefore they cannot be all true! Let me explain; 1. Christianity says, “That God died for man.” 2. Islam says, “That man must die for God.” 3. Hinduism says, “That God is who you make Him to be in your mind.” 4. Christianity says, “That God made man.” Islam= Self-worship Hinduism= Self-worship Christianity= God’s grace Self-worship is you trying to do for God what God has already done for you! Grace is God doing for you what you cannot do for yourself! By grace you are saved by faith and not of yourselves! See Ephesians 2:8 We all make mistakes! My worst mistake was rejecting Jesus Christ! My best decision was accepting Jesus Christ as my Savior! Jesus asked Peter, “Who do you say that I am?” Who do you say Jesus Christ is? See Matthew 16:16. How you answer the most important question in your life will determine your past, present and future life! Who do you say that He is? Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Humility For Pride! John Chapter 13
During Jesus last 3 years of ministry He would sometimes say my time has not come yet! However in John Chapter 12 we see a change where Jesus says my time has now come! The word time means to honor! The word honor means to promote! Jesus promoted you from Hell to Heaven! Jesus promoted His Father! Jesus got promoted and is seated at the right hand of our Father today interceding for us in prayer! What is our response to Christians being beheaded around the world? How do we respond to violence? Jesus said those who live by the sword will die by the sword! Jesus was also living in violent times! Jesus life was just not hanging around shepherds anchored to green pastures! The Romans ruled through fear and violence! The same for the Middle East today! In Jesus day swords, spears and crosses ruled the day! The good Samaritan got beat up! Mr. Rogers could not have lived in this neighborhood! John 13:3-5 Why was this foot washing so offensive to Peter and the disciples? In the Jewish culture only gentiles could wash a Jews feet! A Jew could never wash another Jew’s feet! Jesus stepped on their pride! Never let your culture separate you from God! Jesus was never careless with His authority. He used it to draw people to God! Jesus shows us and His disciples that serving confronts our pride! Sometimes we have pride we are not even aware of! Pride hung on the religious and political rulers but could not cling to Jesus! Matthew 6:1-4 Jesus warned us not to let acts of kindness be seen of men. Give in secret! When was the last time you served in secret? There are 3 ways to serve. 1. Serve to be seen by others. 2. Serve in secret but to be proud of it! Self righteous! 3. Serve in secret as worship to God! Do we serve to impress God? Serve in pride? Do you think you are better than those you serve? John 13:34-35 Jesus gave us a new commandment! It covers the other ten! Love one another! I thought just my family and church members? Help those who cannot help you! Serving others is the most powerful witness to the world! The watching world will never agree with all our theology but are fascinated with our behavior of helping others! Serve the widow’s, orphans and the hurting! The one’s nearest us know us best! How do the one’s closest to you describe you? Do they call us servants? He who is greatest in the Kingdom of God is servant of all! Carl Marks had a philosophy but it was not a reality? He got his best friend’s wife pregnant and then sent the baby to an orphanage! Let Christ’s love categorize you! Be a servant at home first then to the church and then to the world! Pastor Brady Boyd, New Life Church, Colorado Springs, Colorado
Caliphate Growing! Muslim Rule!
The biggest foreign policy blunder by an American president in American history was made by Obama! To let the Arab spring grow and to depose the dictators of these regions was a lethal blow to American’s and to Christian’s world wide! Twenty one Egyptian Coptic Christian’s were beheaded yesterday by ISIS soldier in Libya! Yemen has fallen and ISIS is controlling 1/3 of Syria and Iraq! ISIS says it will conquer Rome! Many Egyptians left Egypt after the 2011 overthrow of the Dictator of Egypt to look for work. To add insult to injury our last Democracy in this area is Israel and Obama has a contempt for them? I made a prediction about a year ago the False Prophet (World Religious Ruler), would rule from Rome as the Bible declares but I believe he will be a Muslim and not a apostate Pope! We know from the Bible that the antichrist will be a Jew and gay! Our Messiah Jesus Christ is also a Jew! The world will be fooled because they will believe peace has finally come for a Jew and a Muslim have finally been wedded together! World history will always confirm the Bible! Thankyou.

In The Beginning! Genesis 1:1
This word has the honor of being the first word written in the Bible! Often the word denotes the point in time or space when something is started, except when it specifies the point when time and space themselves were started as expressed in Isaiah 46:10. It is interesting that the last word in the Bible is “Amen.” Amen is a declaration which means to be faithful, constant, firm and reliable. Remember in the Book of Revelation Jesus said, “I am the beginning and the end!” The word beginning here meaning the first and the word last meaning the finality. The word last also denotes a union as in the Trinity! Are you in union with Christ? If you are then it means you get in on everything from the beginning to the end! It means you ride the waves of victory over the storms of life! Walk on the water with Him or sink! You can try to build your own boat but the best designed ships are at the bottom of the ocean! The God that created the sea can carry you as Peter learned! Do not try to begin or end your life without Christ! If you try you will fail! For in the end everyone and everything else will forsake you! Why forsake the one who really loves you? James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Materialism
He is richest who is content with the least, for contentment is the wealth of nature! Socrates 470-399 B.C. Comment: Jesus said, “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you!” Matthew 6:33
Greatness!
Our greatness does not lie in our own success but in the success of another! Socrates 470-399 B.C. Comment; Jesus said, “He who is greatest in the Kingdom of God is servant of all! I came not to be served but to serve!”
