1 John 3:17 “But who hath this world’s good, and yet seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?” Commentary: Let us look at the word “good.” From the Greek it means the soul and the spirit. The Greek word is “Bios” Strong’s #979. Unless you have experienced the love of God you will never have compassion on anyone! The word “bowels” means the spleen meaning sympathy and pity on someone! After Christ came into my life I look for ways to help people! With prayer, financial giving, giving of my time, energy, council and Biblical advice. Real love is always voluntary! Jesus volunteered for the Cross! To choose sacrificial love to benefit others! God has given his commandments and precepts yet we still have to choose them! We have to cast our vote for them! After experiences God’s love obedience becomes an easy choice! God will not force you into his kingdom! Socialism is forcing someone to give up their property earned by work and ingenuity to someone who does not want to work! It is theft of property! Your resources are given to someone who did not earn them! They rob Peter to pay Paul and to pay themselves with the fruit of your labor! It is involuntary forced distribution of your property! God’s way of distribution is voluntary! God has promised us that if we give he will give back to us more than we gave! Pressed down and overflowing! The love of God that we give is multiplied back to us! The love we with hold will die with us! God says we shall not steal nor covet our neighbors stuff! (8th&10th Commandments). Legalized theft is still theft! Socialism is about legalizing evil! Like abortion! Socialism goes back to the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve although had all the fruit of the garden except one tree stole this fruit that brought death on the entire human race! The penalty of sin is death! The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ! I have a family member who is deceived into thinking he will never physically die? I told him Jesus died! God died and rose again! My Bible says flesh and blood shall not enter the Kingdom of God! I asked him if he thought he was God? Only sinners die so you must be God! I also told him that if you do not die Jesus cannot raise you from the dead! You will miss heaven! God’s gift to the world is to give himself as a sacrifice for you! Socialism is man’s best work to not give but steal what does not belong to him! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Popular versus Scriptural Gospel!
1 John 2:27 Greek Translation: “But the anointing or the communication and receptivity of the Spirit of God which you have received of him abideth and remaineth as a preservative in you, and ye need not that any man teach you, but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, ye shall abide in him.” Commentary: So who is your teacher? The Holy Spirit! Part of the Trinity! In the world the error is obvious! But what about in the church? The Holy Spirit will bring to remembrance a scripture that either clarifies what is taught or exposes a lie that contradicts the Word of God! I do not go around looking for a demon behind every bush! The scriptures disclose the demons! The Holy Spirit brings to remembrance a scripture either to confirm a truth or expose a lie! If you do not know the scriptures then the Holy Spirit has nothing to work with! I love my church but in the 21st Century church here in America we have two Gospels being preached! The politically correct or popular Gospel and the Scriptural model! The popular Gospel avoids our cultural war and pretends it does not exist! Evil is not called evil and evil is called good! Examples of scriptural avoidance are topics like homosexuality, abortion, gay marriage, transgenderism and lesbianism! Let me give you an example of what happened in a big church we attended in Colorado for three years. I still love this Pastor and pray for him everyday! This Pastor wanted to reach out to the gay community of our city so he met with them in a local coffee house. He reported back to us in our congregation the following Sunday that the gays told him they do not have physical sex with each other we just lust after each other! He was implying to us that they really do not sin! So what did the Holy Spirit do in me? He brought up the words of Jesus to me! Jesus said even if you look on a woman with lust it is still equal to having sex with her! I E-mailed our pastor about this scripture and he told me I know but we will talk about it later! Later never came! If you preach or teach a popular Gospel you will have to avoid a lot of scriptures! We live by the Word of God whether popular or not! At the Temptation Satan misquoted scriptures to defeat Jesus! Jesus said it is written! Your only defense and offense is what is written in your Bible! Do you know these scriptures? James & Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Creation versus Evolution!
The evolutionists claim the present is key to the past. However any catastrophic event such as a world wide flood or the 1980 Mount Saint Helen’s earthquake and volcanic eruptions shows us just the opposite of their theory! In just two days hundreds of feet of sediment rock layers were created in just days! Mud flows hundreds of feet deep cut out new canyons and filled valley’s in with hundreds of feet of sediment! The walls of these sediment layers looks like the Grand Canyon! The catastrophic events listed in your Bible of the past, present and future is key to the present! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Burial versus Cremation!
What prompted me to cover this hot button topic because I heard a Pastor on TBN say it does not matter which way you go! Let us look at some scriptures! Abraham purchased a burial site for himself and Sarah (Genesis 23:9). Joseph commanded his bones be carried out of Egypt (Genesis 50:25). The Lord himself provided for the burial of Moses (Deuteronomy 34:5-6). John the Baptist was buried (Mark 6:29). The rich man (Luke 16:22). Lazarus (John 11:17-19). Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5:6-10). Then Jesus himself ((Mark 15:46). Was Jesus cremated? In India even at this time and for thousands of years the Hindus were cremating! During my 3 years in India I used to roll up our car windows even in the tropical heat as we drove through clouds of crematory smoke along the highways! That smell will cause you to throw up! The heathen cremate! What if Jesus would have been cremated? No body! No grave clothes! The tomb is empty but where is the tomb? No disciples running to the tomb! Can you imagine the conspiracy theories after his cremation? Where is the body dudes? No anointing his body with spices! The whole scripture narrative would have been turned on its head! Thomas you cannot see his scars we do not know where he is? He is in a pile of ashes! Fire in our scriptures represents judgment! Hitler cremated the Jews! The popular slogan back in the 1990’s among evangelicals was, “What would Jesus do?” The real question is “What did Jesus do?” I will live, die and be buried Biblically! I know families save money by cremating! However I cannot exchange principle for money! I understand that sometimes our service members in the military were lost at sea or in accidents from fiery aircraft or vehicle crashes! I get that! However if it is in your control be Biblical! The basis for your case or argument must be based on scriptures! When did the first argument start on earth? In the Garden of Eden! Satan told Eve surely God did not say? You will not die! Jesus told Satan for his defense it is written! That is also my defense! Here is the question? Is burial Biblical? Do we have scriptures? Yes! Everywhere in the Bible! Do we have scriptures to support cremation? None! Not one! The closest word we have to cremation in our Bible is the word fire! Judgment! Case closed! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Socialism Versus Christianity!
The paradox of liberal tolerance is that it extends to Marxists, transsexuals and Islamic radicals, but not to conservatives or Christians! Dinesh D’Souza
Train Up! Proverbs 22:6
Hebrew Translation: “Train up; that is initiate, consecrate, dedicate and teach in community, a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Comment: The key here is to teach the child in the totality of the community! So what is the trinity of the community? It is first parents, church and school! The school part is where the rub can come in! If your children attend a public tax funded school here in America the children or young adults will be conflicted! That is they will be taught things there that will contradict what you teach them at home and in the Church! Creation versus evolution is one important example! The children will be taught that homosexual, lesbian and transgender gender is to be celebrated! Loyalty to America will be discouraged! Prayer will not be allowed! No Bibles in school! If your children attend a religious supported school whether Jewish, Catholic or Protestant their chances of confliction are greatly reduced! They will also be exposed to real academic training rather than social engineering! The Democratic Party gets their supporters and voters through the Public education system! Home schooling is an option! One third of all Harvard freshman are home schooled adults! I want to have my children miss out on school shootings, drugs and the violence in public schools! Twenty percent of all public high school graduates cannot read! Raising children is a real challenge but what complicates it is your children being taught atheistic ideologies from Darwin, Engels, Marks and others that oppose your Biblical view of life! Jesus said what profit you if you gain the whole world and lose your only soul! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Bible versus Evolution
“Evolution is the greatest triumph of Satan’s intelligence in 5931 years of devilish warfare, against the Hosts of Heaven!” Aimee Semple McPherson (1890-1944). Comment: Aimee was a very special lady! As a child she would line up her dolls in a row like a church congregation and preach to them! As a teenager in high school she challenged her biology teacher on Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution! She wrote an article in the Canadian Newspaper, Family Herald and Weekly Star, asking why tax payer funded public schools were teaching evolution and undermining Christianity! She knew the two could never be reconciled! She asked why children were being poisoned teaching evolution as truth? She began a life long crusade fighting the teaching of evolution in our public schools! She had the first mega church in America located in Los Angeles California! Crowds in her services would sometimes swell to 30 thousand people! She was the founder of the Foursquare Gospel Churches in America and internationally! She recognized evolution and the suppression of the Gospel Truth was the greatest threat to our liberty! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Religion Versus Grace! Mark 1:1
Jesus did not come to correct behavior! Jesus came to give us a new identity! We are all adopted into a family where we learn a new and better way to live! Religion tries to change us from the outside in! Religious Zealots only reward performance! God said this is my beloved Son who I am well pleased! Remember Jesus had not done any miracles yet! Do you love your son or daughter because they are a gift to you from God or will you only love them based on an expected performance? The Holy Spirit will empower you to live a better way! Real change is an inside job! You must be born again! Jesus said we must repent and believe! This if done will change everything! Pastor Brady Boyd, New Life Church, Colorado Springs, Colorado. For the complete message go to: NewLifeChurch.org View his Podcast.
Human Love versus God’s Love!
Human love has little regard for truth! It makes the truth relative, since nothing, not even truth, must come between it and the beloved person. Pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945) Assassinated by Adolf Hitler in 1945. Jesus said, “I am the truth, the way and the life and no man cometh to the Father but by me!”
Good Vesus Evil!
God’s truth judges created things out of love, and Satan’s lies judge creation out of envy and hatred! Dietrich Bonhoeffer
