JESUS CAME DOWN TO THE EARTH AND BECAME POOR THAT WE THROUGH HIS POVERTY MAY BECOME RICH IN THE THINGS OF GOD.
THE GOSPEL IS GOD'S PROMISE OF ETERNAL SALVATION AND FINAL GLORY IN HEAVEN CONDITIONED ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST,BASED ON HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ALONE.
ROMANS 3:21-26
NO GRAVEN IMAGES
I HOPE YOU REALLY READ THIS ENTIRE THING BECAUSE I KNOW THAT ALL THE WORLD IS DECEIVED IN THIS MATTER. FIRST, JOHN 4:24 SAYS WE SHOULD,AS CHRISTIANS,WORSHIP GOD IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH,NOT IN SYMBOLS OR IMAGES OF GOD OR SOMEONE PORTRAYING CHRIST. IF YOU WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH YOU MIND THE POWER MORE THAN THE FORM,BY FAITH,NOT BY SIGHT. CHRIST CAME TO REVEAL GOD TO US. GOD IS SPIRIT AND MUST BE WORSHIPPED IN SPIRIT ONLY. ANYTHING ELSE IS IDOLOTRY AND AN ABOMINATION TO GOD. MATT. 24:15. IN ROMANS 1:25,IT'S CALLED CHANGING THE TRUTH INTO A LIE. FOR AN IMAGE IS A TEACHER OF LIES. HABAKUKK 2:18-20. GOD,EVEN IN CHRIST,IS AN INFINITE SPIRIT. HE FORBIDS US TO MAKE GOD IN OUR FANCIES. OUR RELIGIOUS WORSHIP MUST BE GOVERNED BY THE POWER OF FAITH,NOT BY THE POWER OF IMAGINATION. IN PART,THIS IS WHY ARMINIANS(PASTORS WHO DO NOT PREACH THE TRUTH)SERVE A GOD OF THEIR IMAGINATIONS. PHIL. 3:3. HERE ARE THREE CHARACTERS OF TRUE CHRISTIANS. 1.THEY WORSHIP IN SPIRIT INWARDLY WITH GOD. 2.THEY REJOICE IN CHRIST THROUGH FAITH,NO VISIBLE TYPES,NO SHADOWS,ALL ARE DONE AWAY WITH. 3.THEY HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE FLESH. ESPECIALLY IN THOSE CARNAL ORDINANCES OR OUTWARD PERFORMANCES OF MAN. READ 1 JOHN 5:20. IN ACTS 17:23-25 THE LORD SAID THAT ANYTHING MADE WITH MAN'S HANDS AND INCLUDED IN OUR WORSHIP,LIKE CROSSES,PORTRAITS OF CHRIST,NATIVITY SCENES,EASTER PLAYS,ETC. HE,THE LORD,DOES NOT DWELL IN THOSE THINGS,"IN TEMPLES MADE WITH HANDS". THESE THINGS ARE INVENTIONS OF FALSE RELIGIONS THAT HAVE THEIR BASIS IN THE TRADITIONS OF MEN,AND NOT GOD'S WORD. THEY GREW UP OUT OF THE FALSE GOSPEL OF ROMAN CATHOLICISM AND BECAME A MIXTURE OF FALSE GOSPEL AND PAGAN TRADITIONS. GOD HAS SHOWN DOWN THROUGH THE AGES AND ALL THROUGH SCRIPTURE THAT MAN IS NOT TO SEEK TO WORSHIP HIM WITH ANY KIND OF GRAVEN IMAGE OR TO SEEK TO IMITATE HIM OR TRY TO MAKE ANY LIKENESS OF HIM. WE SHOULD ONLY WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH,THIS WOULD ALSO INCLUDE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. CONSIDER 2nd KINGS 18. WHEN KING HEZEKIAH HAD THE BRAZEN SERPENT THAT MOSES HAD MADE DESTROYED BECAUSE THE CHILDREN OF ISREAL WORSHIPPED IT,MEN AND WOMEN HAVE ALWAYS IN EVERY FALSE RELIGIOUS CIRCLE TRIED TO USE EVIL METHODS BEYOND THE SCRIPTURETO WORK ON THE EMOTIONS TO GET A PROFESSION OUT OF PEOPLE. IT IS TRULY ANTI- BIBLICAL.
"BUT THE MAIN ISSUE OF ALL OF THIS IS THAT NONE OF THESE METHODS COMMUNICATE THE GOSPEL AND THEREFORE NONE OF THESE METHODS REPRESENT GOD THE FATHER,GOD THE SON,OR GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT PROPERLY". OUR WORSHIP MUST BE GOVERNED BY THE POWER OF FAITH NOT BY THE POWER OF IMAGINATION AND FORM. I HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU TO SEE GOD'S TRUTH CONCERNING GRAVEN IMAGES.

HI! MY NAME IS JONATHAN SCHWERDTFEGER. GOD RULES AND YOU KNOW IT! YES! I AM PUTTING DOWN EVOLUTION WITH A LOT OF GOOD REASONS!! I CANNOT BELIEVE PEOPLE THINK THAT MAN EVOLVED FROM MONKEYS
OR BELIEVE THAT FROGS JUST CAME OUT OF THE MUD ONE
DAY OR SOMETHING.(SO STUPID!)THESE IGNORANT SCIENTISTS THAT THINK THEY KNOW IT ALL SAY THAT THE EARTH WAS MADE BY A GIANT EXPLOSION IN SPACE.
WELL,I CAN ONLY TELL YOU ONE THING ABOUT THEM.
THE DEVIL HAS DECIEVED THEM AND THEY ARE GOING TO
HELL. THEY DON'T BELIEVE THERE IS A GOD RIGHT NOW
BUT WHEN HE COMES BACK,THEY WILL BE PROVEN WRONG
QUICK,FAST,AND IN A HURRY. PLUS,IT IS VERY CONTRARY TO WHAT THE BIBLE IN WHICH YOU BELIEVE (IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN) SAYS SO THAT SHOULD PROVE THAT IT IS WRONG. SOME NEAT THINGS THAT HAVE
BEEN SHOWN ON TV IF YOU EVER WATCH THE HISTORY
CHANNEL IS THAT THEY HAVE FOUND THE FOLLOWING
THINGS:PIECES OF NOAH'S ARK,FRESH WATER UNDER THE RED SEA PROVING THE FLOOD,AND SO ON.YOU CAN FIND
MORE AT SOME SITES ON THE WEB TOO. I DO NOT
WANT THESE SCIENTISTS TO BE LEADING PEOPLE TO BELIEVE THIS NONSENSE ABOUT EVOLUTION.
THIS SITE INCLUDES SOME CHRISTIAN LINKS AND
SOME CONFIDENTIAL INFO ABOUT MYSELF.
I AM GLAD GOD IS GOVERNING THIS WORLD THE
WAY HE WANTS TO. GOD WORKS EVERYTHING FOR THE GOOD
OF HIS PEOPLE. GOD CONTROLS EVERY LITTLE NUT AND
BOLT AND ELEMENT THAT MIGHT COME LOOSE TO MAKE SOMEONE WRECK AND KILL THEMSELVES. NOT A THING GOES ON WITHOUT GOD KNOWING AND CONTROLING IT.
GOD EVEN CONTROLS EVERY HAIR THAT FALLS OUT OF
YOUR HEAD.
DURING THE SUMMER I LOST MY LITTLE
TWO AND A HALF YEAR OLD BROTHER. HE DROWNED
IN A POOL IN OUR BACKYARD. READER,I HOPE YOU NEVER
GET SO PROUD THAT YOU THINK NOTHING CAN EVER HAPPEN TO YOU. GOD CAN MAKE SOMETHING BAD HAPPEN TO YOU IN A BLINK OF AN EYE. MY MOM AND DAD WERE
IN THE BEDROOM,I WAS IN THE KITCHEN EATING BREAKFAST,AND MY BROTHER WAS UPSTAIRS CLEANING HIS
ROOM. WELL,MY SISTER WAS PLAYING WITH HIM AT THE TIME AND THEN SHE WENT TO USE THE RESTROOM AND LEFT MY BROTHER THERE. (BEFORE I CONTINUE I MUST TELL YOU THAT YOU MUST WALK THROUGH THE KITCHEN TO GET TO THE BACKYARD WHERE THE POOL IS.)WELL,
HE LEFT FROM WHERE THEY WERE PLAYING AND GOD AT THAT VERY MOMENT BLINDED MY EYES AND EARS TO SEEING OR HEARING HIM GO INTO THE BACKYARD AND FELL INTO THE POOL.AFTER MY SISTER GOT OUT OF THE RESTROOM MY DAD ASKED,"WHERE'S WILL," SO SHE CHECKED THE BACKYARD AND THERE HE WAS FLOATING IN
THE POOL FACE DOWN. MY SISTER RAN IN KITCHEN
AND YELLED,"JON!" I INSTANTLY KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG
AND WITHOUT HESITATION JUMPED INTO THE POOL TO RESCUES HIM. HE HAD BEEN THERE FOR ABOUT FIVE
MINUTES ALREADY BUT WE STILL TRIED TO DO C.P.R.
BUT IT WAS TOO LATE,HE DIED AT ANDERSON
HOSPITAL ON JULY 28TH,1999. WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING TO THE LORD FOR COMFORT AND MERCY AND HE HAS GIVEN IT TO US AND WE THANK HIM GREATLY. READER,
I JUST TOLD YOU A STORY THAT PROVES A GREAT POINT.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO JUST GO DRIVE IN THE CAR AND HAVE A WRECK TO DIE. YOU CAN DIE IN YOUR BACKYARD TOO. NO MATTER WHERE OR WHEN,GOD CAN BRING YOU HOME. EVERY PERSON HAS AN APPOINTED TIME TO BE
BORN AND AN APPOINTED TIME TO DIE.
NOW,I'LL TELL YOU SOME INFO ABOUT MYSELF.
I WAS 13 WHEN MY BROTHER PASSED AWAY WHICH WAS 9 DAYS AFTER MY BIRTHDAY.I AM LIVING IN SOUTH CAROLINA.MY BIRTHDAY IS 7/19/86. I GO TO WREN HIGH SCHOOL AND I HAVE SOME VERY SPECIAL FRIENDS. I LOVE MY MOM,DAD,BROTHER ERIC,SISTER KELLIE,AND YES,I STILL LOVE MY LITTLE BROTHER WILLIAM WHO IS IN HEAVEN WITH JESUS RIGHT NOW.
