HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY 2016!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY !!!

It's a special time to be thankful to GOD for His grace and mercy.   
Around this time of year we often come across the gestures of thanksgiving void of God but we should be thankful to God throughout the whole year, and also during Thanksgiving Day especially as Americans.

As usual, these elements of secualarism try and extract the Christian influence within our national identity.  But history shows that the pilgrams of the first Thanksgiving invited Native Americans to THEIR feast, and in light of the Native Americans being pagans, the Pilgrams gave thanks to their Christian God on behalf of the pagans among them as a unifying gesture. 

Today "athiests" are not thankful to God in their lives BUT when things go wrong, they blame God.   Those who don't want to believe in God still want to hate on God and criticize God.    And that's why Romans Chapt. 1 says that those (who hate God) "surpress the Truth in unrighteousness".  It also says, They aren't thankful to God.

"For although they KNEW God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened."
- Romans 1:21

1 Timothy Chapt. 3  states that it is a foolish and sinful heart not to be thankful to God.

We can always find someone to extend thanks to about many things.  However, on a universal level, if there's no object or source controlling it all, then we're giving thanks to chance, and chance isn't an entity that we can apply human appreciation towards.  It just is....

We're not promised tomorrow let alone wealth and prosperity.  All these things we can have if we strive for them, and if the opportunity allows.   But God is the One who sets our feet where we find them, and it's by His grace that we can attain any of the above with health, consciousness and the providence God affords us.  

The Bible says, "Be still and know that I am God". 
I'm thankful to God for my family; our health and all the opportunity God has set before us.  In spite of so many close calls in my life and the lives of my loved ones around me, I'm grateful to God for helping us side-step much worst possibilities, trials and tribulations.



God bless!

"Killary" on Abortion...

I agree with Shapiro 100%.  But the best argument against killing babies will always be God's moral law.

We can use science to make an argument against murdering babies and then what??  The scientific evidence then points towards human rights that can also be taken away from tyrants and despots. 
Those human rights (which aren't afforded to the unborn as per Hillary Clinton).   And even the ones we have now are only good until Obama or Hillary fully morph into Fidel Castro.  And then what??

But the human rights that can't be moved are those that are given to us by God Himself.
People who kill their own babies aren't in ignorance, they know what they're doing.  They know it's wrong to murder their child but our govt. (for the sake of depopulation) has allowed citizens to kill their offspring and that is why it's "baby murder on demand" today.
Taking away that Godly moral stigma of murdering babies in an ever secularizing nation only allows the evil to grow more and more.  

By the same evil spirit, euthanasia continues to grow, and the attack on family values (beginning with the growing LGBT agenda), etc.
All of which are far-left agendas. 

The reason why politicians can yell their abortion stance from the roof tops in pride is because of their reprobate voter base - which are the hedonists that are empowering the politicians. 
Hillary isn't a bigger devil than the people who are empowering her and voting for her.  The people fighting to defend some other person's invisible constitutional right of murdering their offspring are complicit and have blood on their hands also.  There is no escaping it. 

"Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them."
- Romans 1:32

And this is why God's moral law is the first argument in the "baby murder" debate known as abortion.   Because reprobates don't care about scientific evidence nor objective moral values. And that's why one must remind them that the Creator who is God will indeed Judge all, and He will hold them accountable for their sin as God's Words in scripture makes perfectly clear.


The best apologetics on the issue of abortion is The Gospel of Christ - "Repent, The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand"! - Mark 1:15

To murder or not to murder...

And then not want to face the depravity. 

America under judgment.  

The Attacks on Jesus...

The attacks on The Lord, Jesus just keep on coming.  From as early as the first Jewish leaders that implicated Him in front of the Romans to the early century Gnostics, down to the revisionist liberal scholars infiltrating the universities, and then to the minds of the youth in our generation. 

Every one of them will give an account for the lies and for the baring of false witness.  And the Bible says that it is by The Lord's very Words that they will be judged by Him. 

"..yea, let God be true, but every man a liar.." - Romans 3:4

PUERTO RICAN "GRATTITUDE" OR PUERTO RICAN "PRIDE"??...

Which is it??  

The PR Day Parade is coming!

Okay, it's not like I'm not proud of my culture for being from Puerto Rican parents and all.  But as a NY- born 'Rican, I've learned that a lot of Puerto Ricans from the Island don't consider folks outside of the Island, true Puerto Ricans.  I know that's one of those perceptions that doesn't stick with everyone on the Island and even some people who feel this way hypocritically bounce around on their perception of who's a true P'Rican and who's not.  After all, there are plenty of foreign-born people on the island today that are obviously Puerto Rican. 

But when it comes to mixed messages, certain things bug me.  For years, this "Puerto Rican Pride" thing every year nags me when I see certain banners and messages, etc.

Again, there's nothing wrong with celebrating one's cultural heritage but I never hear people calling themselves "Puerto Rican - American" or better still "American - Rican".. when most of the people celebrating are born outside the Island. 

I don't mind celebrating a cultural heritage but I think it makes more sense to be "proud" of something that's achieved rather than proud of something completely outside of ones control.  And that goes for all cultures.

Another thing that nags at me is this idea that all Puerto Ricans are from Taino Indians.  Taino's were one of many native Caribbean Indians that occupied the island before the white man showed up.  But most Puerto Rican folk you see around can also be of Afro-Caribbean or European decent.    And today, the mixing continues from other outside cultures and nationalities.

But what nags at me the most is that the word "pride" has had it's meaning altered.  The word, Pride is seen as something good when in fact, it's really something BAD.

I feel a lot more comfortable saying "I'm grateful" for being Puerto Rican; or "Honored", or "Thankful"...   Because the One who decided I'd be born to Puerto Rican parents is God and PRIDE is what brought down mankind as far as the Bible is concerned, The Word of God.

The Bible teaches that "From ONE blood, God created the different nations of peoples and tongues".   (Acts 17:26)

It also teaches that we have to LOVE OUR NEIGHBORS.. (Luke 10:27) which is kinda hard to do when we're TOO "PRIDEFUL"  in our own self glory of cultural nationalistic uniqueness. 

In fact, I'd say humanity has a problem of putting self before others, and the nationalistic/cultural prejudices hasn't helped in humbling us in any way.  Human history demonstrates this fact. 

Although there's nothing wrong with understanding the distinctions and uniqueness of our own cultures and I'm more than sure that some people will stubbornly STILL think I'm putting down my Latino culture - but I'm not.

The other thing that bugs me because I happen to be an "American-P'Rican" is that people inconsistently pick a culture to identify themselves with when it's convenient for them.

In America, some people of various cultural backgrounds want to call themselves Americans when it's convenient for them but then when the critique of our country comes around, they draw back to their cultural/nationalistic roots. 

Truth is, as Americans, we have to take the good with the bad.    And no nation is perfect, and that's just another reason why there's NOTHING to be "proud" of.

"GREATFUL" is something else entirely.  You can't be truly grateful without having a source at which you're grateful towards.  But you can be PRIDEFUL within yourself, and again, pride is what brought down MANKIND.

PASTELES, ALQUAPURRIAS, SALSA Y SAZON GOYA!!!... QUE VIVA PUERTO RICO!!!

BIBLE STUDY: LUKE CHAPT. 20

BIBLE STUDY LUKE CHAPT. 20:

- We see The Lord teaching at the temple and preaching THE GOSPEL and then the religious chief priests coming up to him - obviously annoyed that The Lord is doing this, and wanting to challenge Him.  They first come to try and get Him to tell them by what authority He speaks and teaches, and since the Lord knows their hypocritical hearts, He knows that they won't accept that His authority is from God itself (because He is God) and He is the Anointed One.  Therefore, He stumps them in their own trickery disabling their line of questioning upon Him.

But then having them close that they can hear, The Lord literally breaks down THE PURPOSE of the chosen people of God and the covenant of God and man with the parable He is about to set forth so that they all can hear Him.

The parable of "the wicked husbandmen". 

- "A certain man planted in a vineyard"= The Son of Man is the certain man who planted a vineyard. The vineyard is the earth

-"and let it forth to husbandmen" = God put the earth in the hands of His people (the children of Israel).

-"That they should give God the fruit (new believers); spread His teachings to all generations and surrounding nations, etc.

Their job was to make the earth fruitful with their handling of the Gospel and the covenant but instead, the prophets that God sent were all killed and mistreated, and they became selfish and wicked husbandmen.  They didn't keep the covenant and didn't spread the truth and teachings, and ways of God to their generations or the surrounding nations but instead REBELED against God.

-And even when God sent even His SON, they killed Him and mistreated Him... saying w/in their hearts that they will TAKE His inheritance (The Earth) from Him b/c He indeed is the heir of the Earth.

-He asks, "What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard (Earth) do unto them?"...

"He answers by saying, "He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others." ...

JUDGMENT UPON ISRAEL AND THE EARTH TO GENTILES (surrounding nations)

(*Note: As it's written: "I have other sheep that are not of this fold".)

-And what do the religious say in response to this parable - which I believe THEY DID UNDERSTAND???....

"God forbid".    Wow!

-And then in verse 17, The Lord looks upon them and asks.... "What is this then that is written in YOUR LAW"????.... "The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?"....  He demonstrates that all along, the scriptures would predict how the Anointed One, Their MESSIAH would come and be rejected and killed just as all the prophets have before Him - And they still refused Him and hardened their hearts toward Him. 

-The Lord ends by telling them all

"Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder."

If you fall upon The Lord, you'll be broken of your sin and pride... but if you let Him fall upon you, you're going to be grinded to powder and destroyed completely.
 

Praise The Lord!
Holy is His Word!
Amen.

NO-FELLOWSHIP Christians???

Does that even exist??

So you love Christ but don't love or care to fellowship with His people??... 

Hmmmm?  Highly UN Biblical.  In fact, quite heretical!  

REPENT!!  

Are morals absolute??

When is ok to steal something?

When is it ok to lie?

When is ok to kill?

The idea of moral values being subjective is only in the dreams of people who want to deny The Creator who is holy enough to come up with them from the start -- thus denying Biblical Truth.

Because we are not able to live without objective moral values/reasoning.  

This is why we need to live with police protection in our communities, we need to have laws, have a military, and even stop signs, etc.  

History is proof that we can't live without them.  Therefore, to say that NOW in this century which has seen more evil than in the previous 19 centuries combined; the thought that we're going to somehow "evolve" or even show signs of harnessing our evil, is to live ones life in "la la land".   

As technology advances, PEACE doesn't increase, but ways to kill do increase. 

I just keep running into people who want to adopt this air-headed mentality that suggests that they've never read anything in the history catagory - ever in their lives!  

It's embarrassing really... for an adult to fix their imagination on the hopes of an idea that the world is going to fix itself by an amazing magic-like, contageious epidemic of "inner love" from SOMEWHERE deep within humanity.... 

And yet the Bible teaches that it's from this same place within humanity where evil comes from.  

"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?"

-Jeremiah 17:9

WAKE UP!!!... and smell reality.

God's mercy be upon us all.

TRUMP for "hire" Office!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXYs8GgEDcc

When an NBC reporter challenged Donald Trump regarding his shifting stance on abortion (video link above), Mr. Trump ends his angry dialoge this way... 

"They can do whatever they're going to do .. there will be many people who will be voting for me that, I can tell you".

This is exactly what we're going to get a lot of if this man becomes president...which is the SAME crappy attitude we're getting  from our current president with even less class.

We've seen this man's character while he's only running for President... what do we think his character is going to be like once he's in office???.... 

This is what nightmares are made of folks!

Even Obama and his commie cohorts TRY and maintain a superficial semblance of respect for the office.  This man, might make the oval office look like a used car lot with an irritating salesman who won't let you escape out the front door! 

As hard as it literally is mentally, emotionally and spiritually to accept what I'm seeing during this presidential campaign, I have to accept it ... The True Christians of this country - wherever we find ourselvews, are seeing with our eyes the true state of our relationship with God in this nation.  

This IS the perfect litmus test right here.  How "the people" are voting.   

If they would have voted for anyone else running as a Republican, it could have made more sense... but the masses are voting for TRUMP!  A "reality tv" show celebrity, unrepentant brash cussin- multiple divorcee, money hungry reprobate, multi-millionare tycoon, and they're trying to find something honorable in him.  And he has stood against most things social conservatives stand for up until recently.   

There's so much documented evidence even by video interviews, where he has said things that clearly demonstrate how double-minded this man is, and people still don't care, and support him.

Simply because he resonates with the anger people are feeling over the past 8 years of liberal politics.  Yet, to go in the opposite extreme position politically is just as toxic.   In voting for a red-faced angry man promising the world (which is what Bernie Sanders does also), Trump supporters are stepping over the more important Christian family values they supposedly support.

Just read the book of Proverbs in its counsel against greed, anger, hostility, ignorance, cruelty, lack of discipline, pride, uncontrolled tongue, etc.

Too many people keep bringing up that we're not electing a "pastor in chief"... but the half-wits that keep bringing this stale point fail to recognize that morality and integrity should be a character of ANYONE who's running for commander in chief NOT just a Christian candidate!  Of which, NONE of that character is displayed in TRUMP.

And yet they allow themselves to be swayed by the media on attacks against other more proven conservatives.  And we have a good number of other conservative "types" to choose from; outsiders, insiders, establishment, non establishment, evangelical, libertarian, etc., etc.

A people with zero spiritual discernment always equates to NO Holy Spirit within a people.  And when people don't have God within them, they won't have a basis to judge right from wrong and light from darkness.   They won't follow the scriptures as their source of Truth and a foundation to pattern their lives.

And this is why America IS NOT and probably hasn't been for a long time now.... A Christian nation.

But the plans God has for this nation continue...You better believe that.   However, it's a plan of purging and a plan of judgment.  

I believe Trump could have even been a master plan of "the establishment" (left/right or the powers that be) to monkey wrench the true constitutional conservative voices still left in our country.  With the final goal to go down the road into a form of socialist government our country has historically fought against.

Trump winning the Republican nomination might almost guarantee a new socialist (and a on-the-down-low socialist) president gets elected.

And then Trump will just turn around and tell "the man", "Okay, where's my money"!   😊

When we lost our children, we eventually found the road to losing our nation.  

But nevertheless, God owns all the cattle on a thousand hills and to Him be the glory! Amen!

America's Heroine Affair:

(Article link)

http://patch.com/new-york/whiteplains/hudson-valley-breaking-bad-heroin-dealer-sentenced

Heorin epidemic in Upstate NY and greater New England on the rise. The bodies of our children and citizens are hitting the ground, and no one knows a damn thing!

The news reports come and go, providing the stats and body counts and the psychologists, treatment counselors, and politicians as usual go blah-blah-blah!

No one dares put on that "Say no to drugs" T-shirt anymore.

Sad and pathetic state of affairs.

A world in turmoil from every possible direction.

At least Geraldo Rivera added a percentage of truth when he said, that we have to go into the schools and talk to our youth.   Yeah, well what about it??...What are we going to tell them that they haven't heard before??

But it's going to take a lot more than just saying "Say no to drugs" and printing out more of those T-shirts. 

We have to focus on what attracts ANYONE to a life of chasing a high (any high).  We have to attack the mentality, the influences, the impulses, etc.

Life is full of problems but the idea that we need to run towards getting high to cope or push a reset button in our lives to make our problems disapear has a lot to do with the problem. 

People need to harden up on reality and truth in order to strenthen their personal coping mechnisms.

And it sure does not help when we're living in a culture that is politically correct on too many issues, and everything is so offensive to talk about.

The post-modern mentality of today works against strengthening people's coping mechinsms.

Families have to get involved in their communities and their children's schools.  Social services need to be increased in the school districts where parents aren't as present in the home or involved in their children's schooling.  We need to challenge any and every influence that propogates drugs and the "high" life as desirable.  Young people themselves need to see how uncool it is to be getting high - because while the culture teaches the youth that it's cool to get high all the time in popular music and movies, being strung-out and destitute is seen as embarrassing, shameful and a stigmatized.  

Hollywood doesn't present those that are close to death as cool if you've noticed but it sure does help influence the weak-minded to get its start in a life of getting high.    The culture needs to change big time! 

If we're not willing to take serious what our children are watching, listening to and doing outside our homes... If we're not willing to take

border security seriously and eradicate any "under the table" political corruption ...  as well as illiminate overseas threats BEFORE they get to our shores, then we're not serious about protecting our families and communities.  Period.

Taking Christianity and Godly influences out of the schools by a universal, govermental securlist religion being put in its place, was and always will be a bad idea.  

These problems we see today are a direct result of taking God out of the books, out of the lechtures, and out of the influences of our young people.

All around us are the growing influences of the "progressive"- dismantling of a nation, and its implosion.  

Young men and women have a desire and a God-given need to know who they are, what they are, and what their purpose is in this universe.  And when their taught that they are just as random as a rock, that's gonna screw people up despite what your government grant funded celebrity "science" personalities say. 

And those are the things that build the coping mechnisms we were devinely expected to have in order to take us through the course of our lives.  That resolve in self is then passed on to the next generation of Americans.  

America's infrustructure of the soul is crumbling down but it's not too late.  In an election year, God aint done with us yet.

Lets look to Him, lets fear Him, and love Him, and dedicate our children and future to Him... so that in His mercy, He can grant us tomorrow for our children and grandchildren.

‘The LORD is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, forgiving iniquity and transgression, but he will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, to the third and the fourth generation.’

- Numbers 14:18

Kill your sin and be FREE:

The Lord, Jesus didn't die for sin so that we could remain therein!  Do you not know that the prison cell door is unlocked??? Get up and out into the freedom that The Lord died for to set us free from the foundation of the earth!

By His Word, He has already set us free!

"Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. On account of these the wrath of God is coming. In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator."-Colossians 3:5-10
