BABY PARTS IN YOUR FOOD!!

EDIT:  I would like to post that after continued research on this topic the most likely option is that none of the aborted fetal tissue actually makes it in to the food we consume. However, they do "replicate" it and that does end up in the food... whatever it means to "replicate it."
     I still urge people NOT to buy any of these products. Murdered children were still used in the research for developing flavor enhancers that were used in these and other brands.






BABY PARTS IN YOUR FOOD!!
Having just discovered there many name-brand companies use actual human cells from aborted children in their food and drink products I am extremely disgusted and repulsed!! Unfortunately if you have eaten from one of these companies you have more than likely unknowingly taken part in cannibalism... This is repulsive to say the least! America should be up in arms over this! Yet you wont hear about it on ANY mainstream news.
My goal is to get the word out! Post on facebook, on websites, blogs, newspapers, e-mail, tell everyone you know! Please share this and pass it on!! Below is a list of some of the companies that use aborted baby cells in their products. Note that these are just SOME of the companies I know of.

The Wars Which We Fight

First off I would like to ask a question to get everyone thinking.  How much of our daily life is a battle and what kind of a battle are we fighting? 

2 Corinthians 10:3-5
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Ephesians 6:12 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

I would submit that satan has us so diluted to the reality of the spiritual realm and it's effects in our day to day lives (or our day to day life's effects on it!) that he barely has to attack us some times. James tells us every man is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires... then he is enticed. Enticed by what? Later he tells us resist the devil and he will flee from you.

Demonic forces are organized, structured, opportunistic, and strategic. Our flesh is week, and so we are drawn away by it...but when that happens the demons aren't going to say... "Oh, he is struggling with hate...lets sit back and watch where this goes!"  Instead when they see you struggling they move in and tempt you in the area of your weakness. 

A messy house causes anxiety...so can we then assume that a messy house indirectly gives an open door to demonic spirits of anxiety to work in our lives? I believe so. As I said earlier, the demons are not going to notice your anxiety and just leave you be (unless you are already subdued to the will of satan) they will use that opportunity to foster in you deeper emotional turmoil.

Entertaining an angry thought can give place to demonic forces of anger, hate, and rage etc...

John 3:30

New American Standard Bible (NASB)
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.   

I can't stress this verse enough! In nearly EVERY decision we make in our day to day life we have an opportunity to edify self or to edify God. Anything that edifies self decreases Christ in our life. Anything that edifies God must decrease self in our life.

Something as simple as the car we buy... are we buying because we WANT that car or because that car is the wise choice?
 
Are we going to church to grow closer to God or to keep up appearances? Are we singing worship songs on stage to look good in front of the crowd and get praise or to truly give glory to God?

I believe that any time a self edifying thought is entertained by us it gives place to demonic influence in our life. I do not see satan and his demons passing an opportunity to decrease God in anyone's life. This means we must, as 2 Corinthians 10:5 says, "Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;


I would challenge everyone to abide in Christ and prayer. Take captive every thought that exalts itself above HIM. Test your thoughts and actions to see your motives. I have found far more of my daily life than I ever realized needs to be done away with because after getting to the root it's all self edifying. So this challenge is something I am taking on personally as well and I would like others to join me. There are extremes one can take this thought to... but even then I would rather be extreme for GOD than live to edify self. So long as we are not contradicting scripture then how can extreme be bad?

Customs of Man Vs. Customs of God

Jeremiah 10
1Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
2 Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O Lord; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.

Deuteronomy 18
9 When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
13 Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God.
14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.
15 The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
  
I believe that these two verses are summed up in...
 Acts 5:29  "Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men"

So we can weigh EVERYTHING against these things...what God has said in scripture and what God has done in Scripture.

Jesus said (John 5:19) So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise.

So EVERYTHING that Jesus said and did was of the FATHER. The Father does not change. 

 James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning

   Hebrews 13:8 " Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."

This answers any question on any subject of right or wrong. Did God do or say to do it? Did Jesus do it? Or did HE tell us not to? 

I keep the sabbath on Saturday... why?  Exodus 20 says...
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
This shows me that it is not a man made institution but set in place by God from Creation.  So God, with His own mouth told us to do it....and Jesus kept the sabbath... that's good enough for me. I'll do my best to do it.

What about holidays like Easter?  Easter is the fertility goddess... I don't celebrate Easter. Before you get all defensive let me clarify, I DO celebrate the birth of Messiah, His death and resurrection, and such things. I just don't do so during Christmas and Easter. Most holidays were pagan rituals that were Christianized by Constantine when he supposedly converted to Christianity.  Jesus kept the feasts of the LORD...why shouldn't I if HE is our example? On the other hand Jesus did not keep Easter or Christmas or any equivalent celebrations.

Exodus 18
9 When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
13 Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God.
14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.
15 The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;

Jeremiah 10 also tells us not to learn the way of the heathen. 

So I do not celebrate Easter and God says not to use other religious practices to worship Him. For this people tell me I am wrong? Even though Easter is straight from man.
I DO, however celebrate the death and resurrection in the Passover feast set forth by God in the Bible. Passover is ALL about Messiah's death and resurrection and sacrifice for us. For this I am told I am also wrong? Yet it's straight from the Bible. (Same with Christmas and most of the traditional holidays)


Step back, examine your activities through the Word of God and the actions of Messiah.

James1
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.


Food for thought, chew slowly over prayer and study. ;)

What Must We Do To be Saved?

Mathew 7:21-23

New King James Version (NKJV)
21 “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. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’


Lawlessness: A state in which there is widespread wrongdoing and disregard for rules and authority

Anomia means without the law. The only law they had in Mathew  was the Old Testament.

1 John 2:3

King James Version (KJV)
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

Revelation 22:14

King James Version (KJV)
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.


What commandments? The only commandments they had were in the Old Testament. 

Now let us consider this. Jesus and His disciples went around persuading people out of the scriptures.


2 Timothy 3:16-17

King James Version (KJV)
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
  
  
Again... what scriptures did they have? Can you imagine (if I may borrow this illustration from another) if Paul got up to preach and said, "This is what you must do to be saved! We know it is true because it is in the scriptures...that I wrote... just last year."  
     In the Hebrew culture you could not preach under your own authority but you were typically to preach under the authority of another. (most foundational the authority of Moses or one of the Old Testament writers) That is why in Mathew 7:29 says "For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes"
     He spoke with authority because all scripture is God breathed. It was by His authority we are saved and that He preached. The Old Testament shows us Messiah and prophecies about His coming.

Now naturally we know that in order to be saved we must first confess our sins and repent. Acts 2 touches on that. We must then believe in Jesus as Messiah and then follow Him. It's not a name it and claim it then walk away and live how you want deal. It's an every day act of obedience that maintains our salvation by faith (in Messiah) through grace (of Messiah)

Luke 9:23

King James Version (KJV)
23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

So what am I saying? Should we go back to the Old Testament way of life? No. We should go back to God's instructions that He gave them back then.
     Obviously not all in the OT are salvation issues. I'm not going to hell if I eat pork...it's just bad for my health. There were legitimate reasons why God told them the things He did. 
     The temple sacrifices are not necessary because they were a prophetic foreshadowing of the ultimate sacrifice... Messiah. 

Perhaps we should consider, however, that the instructions in the OT are still relevant to us today largely as a whole. Paul, even in the end of Acts long after the death and resurrection was still following the Old Testament instructions. (and why not... there were still no other scriptures accepted at those times. apostolic writings to the best of my knowledge would not yet be considered scripture)



Acts 24:14

King James Version (KJV)
14 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:


My intent here is not to "put you under bondage." Jesus said... (again keep in mind that He had no other scriptures to base His teachings off of)

Matthew 11:30

King James Version (KJV)
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

My intent IS to make people consider the validity of the Old testament in conjunction with the New Testament as a seamless scriptural guide to our lives. They each support one another and are each just as valid since they hold the same teachings. If one is valid the other is too. Now interpretation of all the nuances inside is another subject entirely! So please keep in mind, the Old testament preaches the same salvation as the New, just in a different way.

So first we must keep His commandments? Does it end there? What if I live my whole life and never break a single one of the ten commandments? (that would be the easiest set to start with) On top of that what if I eat clean foods and believe in Messiah, get baptized (though I do not believe baptism in water is a requirement to get to heaven... however it is a good thing to do) 
     


Matthew 19:21

King James Version (KJV)
21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

Now this obviously doesn't mean that if we don't sell all and follow Him we are not getting to Heaven... right? It depends on how you look at it. We are to be stewards of what God has given us. In the parable of the talents (Mathew 25) the money he gave his servants was theirs to do with as they chose but it did not belong to them. 
     All we "posses" belongs to God because we are to be His bond servants  as James talks about. The very idea of a bond servant is someone who their master sets them free but out of love by their own choice they refuse to go free and dedicate themselves to serving that master for the rest of their life.
     So if you look at it that way then we must "sell" everything we own because we must commit it to God. He will still allow us to use it to provide for our physical needs and some of our wants, but it is to provide for the physical needs of others as well.



1 Timothy 5:8

King James Version (KJV)
8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.


Also read Mathew 25:31-46 To sum it up ...........come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: ..........For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me............Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:  For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not...................Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison................... Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

1 Corinthians 13:13

King James Version (KJV)
13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
Charity is a word that I am sure we are all familiar with. Agape. To sum it up Agape love is doing (note doing being an action) what is best for the other person in spite of  your own needs and desires. In Mathew 25 those who were let into heaven practiced this for of love/charity. This is part of our daily duty of taking up our cross and following Him. (sometimes a hard one... but a duty none the less) We can't sit back and be inactive and still make the cut.

James 2:10-26

King James Version (KJV)
10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.


So we must have works our our faith is no good. Simple belief is not sufficient. (even the demons believe- and tremble)

Another thing to ponder... are you saved? Am I saved? Or are we still in the process of being saved? If I turn around tomorrow and  systematically break each one of the ten commandments intentionally and do so every day for the rest of my life I will go to hell when I die. However, if I were to die right now I have faith that God's grace would allow me in. So I am not necessarily "saved" until I make it to heaven. Then my salvation is sure. Though this is a bit of a nit-picky subject. I am simply splitting hairs to provoke some thought. 

So in other words we must live Messiah to the best of our ability. Always striving for the faith once delivered to the saints as spoke of in Jude. It's an uphill battle but it's not God's instructions that make it hard (his burdens are light) it is the devil who throws resistance against our walk. 
     If we walk faithfully (though we all will stray and stumble along the way) and persevere to the end we will receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. (James 1:12)

There is a saying I heard once, ascribed to an old Rabi. He was posed the question that, if faith was like a ladder who would be highest on the ladder? His answer? "The one who is still climbing."

The closer we grow to HIM the closer we grow together. So let us walk together, learn together, strive for that faith once delivered to the saints and pick up our cross daily until our end meets us and our God takes us. 

Peace to you all and may His will be done.

Conspiracy Theory

Though I would run a conspiracy theory by everyone...

The conservative Media like Fox we all know is owned by Warner brothers and there are some muslims who are very high up in the company... so that compromises their integrity right?  What about talk radio, though?  It's free right! Maybe not.

If you sign up for the tea party e-mails, conservative groups... rush, hanity, beck, ingrahm (sp?) What do you get?  A lot of info...usually with an option to donate money.

I have got e-mail after e-mail pleading for money money money! They mentioned donating up to 5 times in the same e-mail sometimes! O_o What's up with that?

It's pretty much true that conservative media exists because there is a market for it. Could it be deeper, though?

Perhaps they know that conservatives who care will donate money so they set up pawns to funnel in cash from the opposing side? (they as in the powers that be) 

Don't get me wrong... I am not suggesting that Rush is intentionally funding the powers that be. However I believe that there is an aspect of that going on. The people behind the curtains dip their fingers in everything that makes money. It's just like selling WWJD T shirts... Christians are a marketing tool for the greedy. Conservatism is too.

Am I suggesting don't ever donate to these places?  No.

I am suggesting, however, that you should still be very careful where you send your money. Don't assume just because it's a conservative organization they are going to use your money right. Corruption is not prejudiced to a particular political belief system. Neither is Greed.

Don't fall into the trap of letting "them" manipulate you through your own beliefs! Be smart and fight hard, but be sure what you are fighting against... and who you are fighting with.
