ON THE ROAD TO CONVERSION

  “Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. “As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?" And he said, "Who are You, Lord?" Then the Lord said, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It [is] hard for you to kick against the goads." So he, trembling and astonished, said, "Lord, what do You want me to do?" Then the Lord [said] to him, "Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do." Acts 9:1-6. Saul was on his way to Damascus to get permission from the high priest to kill more Christians when he heard a voice from heaven. He was scared and astonishe...

THE WILL OF JESUS' FATHER

  Jesus said, "Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. “ Matthew 7:21. What is the will of Jesus’ Father? "Therefore you shall be perfect , just as your Father in heaven is perfect.” Matthew 5:48. That is His will. How can we be perfect? We can be perfect only by doing the will of Jesus’ Father. That’s the ONLY way that we can become perfect, by doing the will of Jesus’ Father, and not by mere faith. I remembered when I was a kid my mom wants me to learn to play the piano. She hired a female piano teacher to come to our home to give me piano lessons three times a week. After four weeks of lessons I still don’t know what the keys or notes are called, C, D, or F. Do you know why? Because I was watching her, and not the piano keys. And we cannot be perfect either if we continue to watch and follow what Saul of Tarsus says. We must follow Jesus and His Father. Jesus said we can be perfe...

FALSE PROPHETS

  Is Jesus Christ a false Prophet? Or, is Saul of Tarsus a false prophet? What is the definition of a false prophet? Jesus said, "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. "For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one title will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. "Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches [them], he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. "For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:17-20. Here is Jesus’ definition of a false prophet - "Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven” Matthew 5:19. Saul of ...

THE BOOK OF LIFE

  Revelation 21:27. “ But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie , but only those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.”   Revelation 20:15. “ And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 3:5. "He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. “ Matthew 7:21-23 "Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven . " Many will say to Me on that day, `Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' "And then I will declare to them, `I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness !' Jesus denied admission to many men and women of great faith. He admitted only me...

WHAT COMES FIRST?

  Jesus said, "Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. “ Matthew 7:21. Jesus said that not all who say ‘Lord, Lord’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.”  Saul of Tarsus said, “ For by grace you have been saved through faith , and that not of yourselves; [it is] the gift of God, not of works , lest anyone should boast. “ Ephesians 2:8-9. Who is right, Jesus or Paul? If you say Jesus is right and Paul is wrong, then why are you following Paul? If you say Paul is right, and Jesus is wrong then why are you praying to Jesus, and not praying to Paul? Both cannot be right because what Jesus says contradicts with what Paul says. Do you understand this simple logic? If you don’t understand, I suggest that you leave your church now and find another church that makes sense to you. You don’t want to go to a church that believes in two or three contra...

DISRESPECTFUL

  Saul of Tarsus wrote, “ For by grace you have been saved through faith , and that not of yourselves; [it is] the gift of God, not of works , lest anyone should boast. “ Ephesians 2:8-9.   And millions of Christians believe him and follow him. I don’t follow him. I don’t believe in him since day one when I write my blogs. You know why? Because he is encouraging Christians to be DISRESPECTFUL toward Jesus’ Father. He is encouraging children to be DISRESPECTFUL toward their father and mother. He is encouraging Christians to ignore God’s law. He is encouraging God’s children to ignore the will of Jesus’ Father. Jesus said, "Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. “ Matthew 7:21. Saul said we are saved through faith . How could we do the will of Jesus’ Father by faith? How? Jesus said, "Many will say to Me on that day, `Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons ...

He is encouraging Christians to ignore God’s law. He is encouraging God’s children to ignore the will of Jesus’ Father.
