1. The document discusses how to get to heaven according to the Bible. It states that while some believe there are many paths, the Bible teaches there is only one - through believing in Jesus Christ.
2. It explains that all people are sinners due to the fall of mankind in the Garden of Eden, and that even one sin makes someone imperfect and unable to enter the perfect place of heaven.
3. The only way to heaven is through believing that Jesus, God's son, died for people's sins and rose from the dead. By putting one's faith in Jesus, his righteousness is credited to the believer and they can receive the free gift of eternal life in heaven.
The document discusses the human condition and the concept of evil based on biblical passages. It suggests that the original sin committed by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden was an illicit sexual act, as Lucifer tempted Eve and she had a sexual relationship with Adam before they were mature or married. This act caused the fall of humanity and separation from God. As a result, humans were born with original sin and faced consequences like internal conflict, suffering, and a fallen world. While God gave humans freedom, He grieved over their choice to disobey and the impact of sin.
God's strong love, the people's weak love
mechanical love and faithful and fruitful loves
and a love that comes out of the refiner's fire.
The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.
Like Haggai, in Hebrew the word of the Lord comes from 'the hand' of Malachi.
The last few pages of the book of Old Testament are the book of Malachi.
A handful of points are made in the form of statements and questions in a didactic teaching style. The first point being 'I have loved you.'
Many of the points build down to hot and cold love.
God's love hot. God's intention is white hot love for Him around the world
The priests and people's love largely grown cold.
Marriages were cold
Treatment of workers, the poor, the alien was cold
Both in loving and in giving their love had grown cold
and no awe of God leading to God's name being highly honored
as worship had groan wearisome, tedious and dull
Our choices, our worship rest on what we love and God's strong love is contrasted in this book with the weak love of the professed believers of Malachi's day and the high love God says he will achieve from the rising to the setting of the sun someday.
And, yes, the English Bible ends with Malachi while the original Hebrew ended with Chronicles. In either case the prophets ended with Malachi.

This document discusses the concept of lineage and fallen human lineage. It analyzes the biblical story of Adam's family, including Cain and Abel, to understand how evil arose and how restoration must occur. Cain murdered Abel out of jealousy because Abel's sacrifice was accepted by God while Cain's was not, due to Cain's fallen nature and failure to make the proper condition. Lessons are about fulfilling God's will through cooperation and finding righteous figures to follow.
This document provides a summary of a study on Revelation 14 and guarding the home. It discusses the 144,000 mentioned in Revelation 14 as those who have been cleansed from false doctrines and have a pure faith. It emphasizes the need to crucify the flesh and bring thoughts, affections, and passions into subjection to God. Quotes from scripture and the book Adventist Home encourage guarding the heart, controlling thoughts and affections, and allowing the higher powers of the soul to reign over animal propensities. The goal is to develop purity of heart in order to see God and be part of the 144,000.
God calls Jeremiah to be a prophet to the nations despite Jeremiah's protests that he is too young and does not know how to speak. God reassures Jeremiah that He will give him the words to say and that God will be with Jeremiah to protect him. God then touches Jeremiah's mouth and fills it with His words. God appoints Jeremiah to uproot and tear down nations, as well as to build and plant, assigning Jeremiah a significant task despite Jeremiah's perceived inadequacies.
This document is a summary of a talk given to encourage young people to seek God's will in marriage and courtship. It discusses several Bible verses about pleasing God rather than oneself. It emphasizes finding what best pleases the Lord in all areas of life, including marriage. The speaker encourages letting God choose one's spouse rather than choosing for oneself. While love is important, fancy and emotions can lead to ruin if allowed to guide courtship before practical guidance. The goal is for the whole heart to belong to God.
This document is a transcript of a sermon about preparing for marriage. It discusses how God uses marriage to represent His love for His people. The sermon encourages viewing courtship through the lens of Jesus seeking His bride, the church. It warns against worldly ideas of romance and fun, saying if Jesus is invited to the wedding, He should be part of all relationship stages. The presence of Jesus can turn any situation, like a wedding, into joy, while worldly traditions come from outside God's will. True ideas of marriage help establish proper courtship.
Matthew 6 provides instruction on righteous acts like giving to the needy, prayer, and fasting. Jesus teaches that these should be done sincerely and privately before God rather than for the praise of others. The chapter also includes what is known as the Lord's Prayer, which is a model for how believers should pray, focusing on hallowing God's name, submitting to His will and kingdom, receiving daily provision and forgiveness, and deliverance from temptation. The chapter emphasizes that God sees sincere motives and rewards righteous acts done for His glory alone.
This document discusses the importance of preparation before marriage and finding the right partner. It argues that God has a specific person planned as the right marriage partner for each individual. It encourages taking early steps like self-examination, education, work experience, and social development to ensure being ready for marriage and to avoid wasting time courting the wrong person. The goal of these early steps and any courtship is to determine God's will for the relationship and whether an engagement and marriage should follow.
God tests Abraham by commanding him to sacrifice his son Isaac on a mountain. Abraham obeys God and is prepared to kill Isaac before an angel stops him. The document then discusses how this story is not a contradiction to the idea that God does not tempt people, as the word "tempt" can mean to test or to entice evil. It explores various perspectives on why God tests people, such as to strengthen their faith, keep them focused on obeying God rather than becoming satisfied with blessings, and to rely on God rather than earthly things. The testing is meant to benefit people in the end.
Abraham's family line includes his sons Ishmael and Isaac. God promises Abraham that he will be the father of many nations. Abraham has many tests of faith, including being willing to sacrifice his son Isaac at God's command before an angel intervenes. Isaac's sons are Jacob and Esau, but Jacob deceives his father Isaac to receive the blessing meant for Esau as the elder son. This causes conflict between the brothers and Jacob flees, receiving God's blessing as he leaves.
This document is a summary of a 1969 sermon about preparing for marriage. It discusses how the foundation for a successful Christian home is built from infancy through the teenage years by teaching the dual lessons of love and self-control. Parents have a responsibility to model these virtues and establish homes where children learn obedience, cooperation, and faithfulness to duty so they can successfully manage their own homes as adults.
This document summarizes a sermon about preparing for marriage. It discusses that:
1) God wants people to find happiness and joy by following His narrow path, but few actually do according to scripture.
2) Successful marriages are built on a foundation established in one's parental home through developing love, obedience, service, responsibility and self-control from a young age.
3) Young people need to develop control over their appetites, affections, and passions to prepare for marriage and finding life's path, which Jesus says is narrow and leads to few.
This document summarizes a 1969 sermon about preparing for marriage according to biblical principles. It discusses how God created marriage to bring joy and instituted the first marriage between Adam and Eve. It notes that Jesus performed his first miracle at a wedding in Cana to show his support for marriage. However, it laments that few follow God's plan for marriage today, resulting in unhappiness. The sermon encourages preparing for marriage by studying God's original design and not following the practices of the world.

This document provides a summary of a lesson on prayer. It discusses prayer as an act of worship, speaking to God from the heart, and something only believers can do through faith in Jesus. It also covers how God wants us to pray - asking for help, thanking him, praying for anything and anyone anywhere and at any time. The document gives examples of prayers from the Bible and teaches that God wants us to use fitting words in prayer, both our own and others like the Lord's Prayer. It provides the ACTS method as a framework for prayer and closes with another prayer.
The document discusses the Lutheran view of grace and faith. It argues that all people are sinners by nature and incapable of saving themselves or doing good works to earn salvation. It states that people deserve God's punishment and eternal damnation for their sins. However, God sent his son Jesus to pay the price for sins and offers salvation as a free gift of grace received through faith, not works, so that all may be saved.
"Is the Tree of Life in the Bible a metaphor"? A conversation
Liz Marsh
13h ago
In Genesis, maybe the 7 days could be 7 periods of time, such as to the Lord a day is as a thousand years. The story of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil could have represented in story form a general human rebellion against God (still in process) as led by Lucifer as he whispered to them that God is a liar and did not want them to be what they could be, that is gods. It could have represented man can to go beyond Gods will. Because of this, God would have had to put some restrictions on mans access to eternal life with Him, as represented symbolically by the story of removing them from the Garden (the domain of God and the innocent) in which was that Tree of Life.
Change of lineage through Jesus and the Holy SpiritWilliam Haines
The document discusses the concept of lineage and how it relates to identity and fallen human nature. It explains that true parents must change the satanic blood lineage inherited through generations by embodying God's love. The lineage can be changed through living for the sake of others and enduring struggles against satanic love. Jesus came to change the lineage from Satan to God by providing spiritual and physical salvation through his life and teachings.

God created humans to be stewards of creation and care for the earth and all its resources. However, when Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating the forbidden fruit, it resulted in the fall of man and the introduction of sin and suffering into the world. Now, humans have a tendency towards sin and find it difficult to do good without God's grace. God's plan was for humans to know and love him, but the serpent deceived Adam and Eve into thinking disobedience would make them like God. Their choice set in motion humanity's need for a savior to rescue us from the wrongs we commit and bring us back into friendship with God.
The document discusses the story of King Manasseh of Judah, the son of the righteous King Hezekiah. Manasseh initially led Judah into sin by worshipping false gods. However, God caused Manasseh to repent after he was taken captive. Manasseh humbled himself and prayed to God, and God forgave him, accepting his repentance. The document notes that God will accept sincere repentance from anyone, no matter how sinful their past, if they humbly turn back to Him.

The document discusses how Christians should imitate God. It explains that believers should imitate God's love by walking in love, sacrificing for others, and giving off an aroma of love. Christians should also imitate God's purity by avoiding sin and not participating in the sins of others. Additionally, the document states that imitating God involves walking in light as children of light, doing God's will, and exposing works of darkness. Finally, imitating God means understanding God's will, being filled with the Spirit rather than wine, encouraging one another, being thankful, and submitting to one another.

Faith defeats the enemy. When Abraham heard that his nephew Lot had been captured, he armed his 318 trained servants and pursued the enemy forces by night, dividing his men into groups. By strategy and faith, Abraham was able to smite the enemy forces and rescue Lot. His faith empowered him to defeat a larger enemy threat.

This document is the introduction to a book that aims to educate readers about who God truly is according to the writings of Emanuel Swedenborg. It seeks to clarify widespread misconceptions about God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. The author hopes to spread knowledge of Swedenborg's teachings that God is defined by love, does not punish or send people to hell, and desires a perfect heaven composed of humans.

This document provides an overview and discussion questions for sections of the Torah portion "Lech Lecha". It discusses Abraham's call to leave his homeland and journey to a new land from God. Key points explored include the meaning and significance of Abraham's journey, God's promises to make Abraham a great nation and bless those who bless him, and Abraham's interactions with Lot and others which show both faith and possible flaws. The document aims to have readers come to their own understanding of Abraham and his significance through close examination of the biblical text.

Take care, stay home and May God bless you always.
This document discusses the concept of eternal brotherhood and unity among all people. It asserts that all humans are children of Abraham and God, and therefore brothers. It encourages spreading this message of oneness to reject divisions between groups. It argues that Jesus' death united all people and that accepting brotherhood means accepting that all are part of God's kingdom on Earth. The document aims to unveil the truth that all of God's creations are his children and part of one family tracing back to Abraham.
The document discusses the book of Amos from the Bible. Some key points:
1) Amos means "burden-bearer", indicating God uses people's names to communicate messages through prophets like Amos.
2) Amos prophesied during a time when Israel was prosperous but corrupt, oppressing the poor and engaging in idolatry. God sent Amos to warn of coming judgment if they did not repent.
3) Like Amos, believers are called out of their sins to follow God and must allow Him to transform their minds and captivate their hearts through His word. Staying sharp through scripture can prevent dullness.

Not long ago, I was in Dallas holding aseminar. My daughter, Zona, was with me,helping with the book and tape sales. Zonaowns two exercise studios and had a financialneed for $3,000. She told me about it, but Ididn't respond. I've taught her for years totrust God. Sometimes the pressure of asituation will nag at you so strongly that youwill bypass God and look to a person—especially one who has what you need.That night, Zona had a night vision—avision that occurs when you are asleep. God speaks to your spirit and shows you what youneed to see. It's from God—not from the pizzayou ate earlier!The next morning, she told me about thedream she received, saying, "Daddy, Daddy, Idon't like it!" She said, "I dreamed I was aninstructor in an exercise place.""Well," I said, "that's what you are.""But, Daddy, I was just an instructor in theexercise place and not the owner."She continued to describe the dream. In it,there was a man who owned the place.Because Zona needed financial help, she askedher boss for more money. He refused and heaped abuse on her. The dream had greatlyupset her. She didn't understand the truth thatGod was trying to reveal to her in this dream, but I immediately did.I said, "Zona, Zona. That dream was for you.God was showing you what happens whenyou prostitute your faith. I've told you foryears what to do, but you flounder around andlook to man for help, and God doesn't like it.Why don't you change?"You might say, "That seems very harsh,Brother Norvel.' But, in these last days, God isrevealing the truth so we won't have tostumble around in darkness for the rest of ourlives. Yes, when I said that, it was harsh.Sometimes the truth can be offensive. But if welisten and apply it, it will always set us free.Meanwhile, Zona sat in a chair mumblingtearfully, "Oh, Daddy, oh, Daddy." I said to her, "Zona, honey, little darling, Jesus lovesyou! Why don't you start thanking Jesus for what you want and Jesus will give it to you.
Youcan be free from your prostitute faith.Don't go to man. God says, 'Forget not togive God thanks in everything.' Why don't youdo it?"Crying, she said, "Okay, Daddy, I will, Iwill.'After this conversation on Saturdaymorning, we both began thanking Jesus forhelping her. Later, she went to work behindthe tape and book table during the seminar.Soon, a person walked up and said, "Zona,God has been dealing with me for two days.Here's a check the Lord told me to give you."She looked at the check—

The document discusses why bad things happen and discusses Job's story as an example. It notes that death and suffering are a result of man's sin after the Fall. Job remained faithful to God despite tremendous personal suffering and loss, recognizing that God is sovereign. The document encourages viewing hardships as opportunities to strengthen faith and reminds us that God is with us during trials.
God makes unilateral covenants throughout Genesis, promising blessings without conditions. This includes promising Noah survival through the flood, telling Abram he will make him a great nation, and vowing to Jacob that he will watch over and protect him. These covenants communicate God's unchanging desire to be in relationship with humanity, even after the fall separates them, and that he will restore their broken relationship. The covenants also establish God and Satan as opponents, with God putting enmity between mankind and Satan.
Theomatics and The Big Picture by Professor Truthprofessortruth
The Theomatics code in the Bible proves conclusively that every person who is born into this world - pre-existed in heaven - we are the fallen angels who were thrown out and cast down to earth. Literraly. That is why the Bible teaches that men and women are born sinners.

Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.
Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.
