Jesus Christ

*["If you try, you can make a change...larger than and more profound that you could ever imagine. Your direct influence of those around you will spill onto others, and so on n' so on.

You don't need to be a world leader, priest, deacon, reverend, etc, etc...

***BobbyD:

The world wants "peace" WITHOUT the Prince of Peace [Isaiah 9:6]. There will be NO "peace" UNTIL the Prince of Peace RETURNS and puts His enemies in subjection at His SECOND COMING..."The Lord at my right hand shall strike through kings in the day of His wrath. He shall judge among the heathen [i.e., Gentiles], He shall fill the places with DEAD BODIES; He shall wound the heads over many countries" [Psalm 110:5-6]. This will be fulfilled in the campaign of Armageddon climaxing in the Second Coming of Christ [Revelation 19:15].

When the Lord Jesus Christ RETURNS...He will bring JUDGMENT with Him. ALL who have REJECTED Him as Lord and Saviour TODAY...will be the OBJECT of His WRATH TOMORROW...and NONE will escape. He came the FIRST time as the Lamb of God who was CRUCIFIED for our SINS...when He RETURNS He will come as LORD OF LORDS and KING OF KINGS and will put ALL of His ENEMIES [those who have REJECTED Him at His First Coming] into SUBJECTION with His WRATH [Psalm 110:1-7]. You and the others may laugh at this...but it WILL happen as the Scriptures say it will inspite of your derision.

The world does NEED a HIGH PRIEST...because we ARE ALL SINNERS and CANNOT approach God in our SINFUL state. God, the Father, SENT His SON as our HIGH PRIEST to present us BLAMELESS before Him [the Father]...for it is written: "For there is one God, and ONE MEDIATOR between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; who GAVE Himself a RANSOM for all, to be testified in due time" [1 Timothy 2:5-6].

I won't disagree with what you said, but this is the task the Lord has charged us with while we're here....so I think anyway.
That's how I look at it. 😬

***Only BELIEVERS are charged with making a DIFFERENCE...for the UNSAVED are DEAD in TRESSPASSES and SIN and CANNOT make a DIFFERENCE. My only disagreement with your statement was that you made an all-encompassing statement that ALL [believers and non-believers] could make a difference...the Scriptures don't say that.

Elaborate by what you mean as a non-believer....

Huh? 😕

Many astronomers/astrologers/scholars believe that december 25 is not exactly the date that Jesus was born. When i learned about the solstice seasons and the how the month of december is linked to it's pagan roots I am convinced that what these scholars think now are worth our attention.
The solstice occurs 2x a year and this marks the longest day of the whole year, december 25 makes the longest day of the year and another day in april or june has similar length of hours in a day, they are known as the summer and winter solstice. This is because of the tilting of the earth(27.3 degrees) that precisely marks these seasons.
Why is it pagan? Because the Egyptian religion is based on the zodiac symbols of the heavenly bodies thus the sun worship.
Scholars now believe that the date and time of Jesus' birth was closer to march 12, 4 or 5 A.D. we joyously celebrate december 25th as the day of our Lord, but little do we know how much paganism was incorporated to our belief system, I think Solomon was right " knowledge is better than zeal".
I hope this serves as an eye openner.
Merry Christmas in March!lol

You've missed my point. And xmas would have been in April. The 17th I believe.

Yet another pagan holiday....the summer calender........don't your er alize that it is all bases on the seasons....just like the Hebrew calender?

I've heard Marchello babble quite a lot. From his description of a believer I have decided he's probably the only one

***ALL who have NOT be "born again" by the Holy Spirit of God are NOT Christians [i.e., are Unbelievers]. The Scripture tells us this in [John 3:3]: "Jesus answered and said unto him, 'Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he CANNOT see the kingdom of God.'" "Born again" means to be born from above [as in John 3:31;19:11], though the word also means "again" [Galatians 4:9].

The "new birth" or REGENERATION [Titus 3:5] is the ACT of God which gives ETERNAL LIFE to the one who BELIEVES in Christ. As a result, he [the BELIEVER] becomes a MEMBER of God's FAMILY [1 Peter 1:23] with a NEW CAPACITY and DESIRE to PLEASE his heavenly Father [2 Corinthians 5:17].

When we are "born again" we are given a new QUALITY of LIFE...NOT an everlasting "this life." In John 3:16 begins another major theme of John...the DUAL one of REDEMPTION and JUDGMENT. The emphasis is on the fact that men judge themselves. The ACQUITTED are THOSE who have BELIEVED in Him [John 3:18]...the CONDEMNED are those who have REJECTED Him [John 3:18-20].

Whoa. Chill dude.

Remember, that you're entitled to celebrate the holiday however you wish. I'm merely stating that it is how I think it should be celebrated.

Good Lord. 🙄

Uh huh. Have you ever wondered why neither Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, nor Paul thought Jesus' birthday was important enough to mention?

December 27. So, you know, if you were going to set yourself on fire as part of your New Year's celebration, you've plenty of time to prepare.

(Although when I talk about wanting people to be set on fire for their Christmas beliefs, it's always barely possible I'm not being entirely serious.)

out of respect for the fact that you are retarded I will inform you that his avatar and sig are probably not pictures of himself.

Really? My avatar is a picture of me. Although I've gotten a hair cut since it was taken.

Please try not to confuse Marchello.

Well there's a tall order. So I just shouldn't say anything?

That is a gray area. The internet is no place to know whether someone has a Christ filled life or not. Even if you feel that Marchello is not being very 'christian' over the internet, it is not necessarily indicitive of his real life. Tone and emphasis are hard to communicate over the internet at times and sometimes I think people take Marchello's posts as being in a tone that is not necessarily the case.

He capitalizes every other word to make it seem like he's yelling
He accuses people of not being real christians because they don't agree with the letter of his beliefs.

There's really only one way to take his writing.
