Obama's secret agenda to 'Kill the American Dollar!'  See Video >>> >> Video exposing the EVIL PLAN (click here to watch) <<Raymond's Post: 

This fine Post is from a fellow combat Veteran, who is also with the TPP's --- The Tea Party Patriots org.   I always try to give people the credit when I borrow their hard work, and even included a Link of this fine Marine.  Today was a good, but somber day for me, and always is. 

There are plenty of UN-believers in the world who love to throw this following scripture at we Christians, but it doesn't work anymore...   The real truth is that these same folks want to have their 'cake and eat it too.'   They practice gross sin and don't want to ever stop it -- while demanding that we Christians show them respect and honor --  they want to be accepted in polite social society...Ha!  Sorry, we Christians are not perfect or a bunch of 'holy Joes' -- but we choose not to rub elbows with 'unrepentant ' sinners who love  the  EVIL that they do-- making fun of Jesus, our Lord and Saviour.  We don't point any fingers at the wicked -- but we ARE READY WITH THE CORRECT BIBLE VERSES that prove them wrong, and wrong headed...  sorry.  So that is the real deal, and for the record.

Warm Regards, on this Somber Day of Remembrance and Honor.

MATTHEW 7:1-2 –– ““Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.””
First, if we examine the context we see that Jesus is not condemning all judging; He is condemning hypocritical judging (Mat. 7:5). Hypocrisy is a great and deep-seated problem among men and Christ is rebuking it. To forbid something in another person that I allow in my own life is hypocrisy.

This is not to say, though, that Christ is forbidding judging in general. That He is not condemning all judging is evident from the context. In the same sermon He warned about false teachers and false brethren.
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit” (Mat. 7:15-17).

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity” (Mat. 7:21-23).
It is impossible to beware of false prophets and false brethren without judging doctrine and practice by the God’s Word.

That Christ is not condemning all judging is also evident by comparing Scripture with Scripture. In other passages we are commanded to judge. We are to judge righteous judgment (Jn. 7:24).
We are to judge sin in the church (1 Cor. 5:3, 12). “For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, ... For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?”

We are to judge matters between the brethren (1 Cor. 6:5). “I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?”

We are to judge preaching (1 Cor. 14:29). “Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.”

We are to judge those who preach false gospels, false christs, and false spirits (2 Cor. 11:1 -4). “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.”

We are to judge the works of darkness (Eph. 5:11). “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”

We are to judge spirits (1 John 4:1). “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.”

We are even to judge all things (1 Cor. 2:15-16). “But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.”

The spiritual man does not judge all things by his own thinking but by the mind of Christ in the Word of God. He knows that he lives in a fallen world filled with lies and error and spiritual deception and he knows that he has the light of God in the Scripture and he thus judges all things by that.
The following addition study on judging is by the late Franklin G. Huling:
This question, Is it right to judge? is one that puzzles many sincere Christians. A careful and open-minded study of the Bible makes it clear that concerning certain vital matters, it is not only right but a positive duty to judge. Many do not know that—
THE SCRIPTURE COMMANDS TO JUDGE.

The Lord Jesus Christ commanded, “Judge righteous judgment” (John 7:24). He told a man, “Thou hast rightly judged” (Luke 7:43). To others, our Lord asked, “Why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?” (Luke 12:57).
The Apostle Paul wrote, “I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say” (1 Corinthians 10:15). Again, Paul declared, “He that is spiritual judgeth all things” (1 Corinthians 2:15). It is our positive duty to judge.

FALSE TEACHERS AND FALSE TEACHING
“Beware of false prophets!” (Matthew 7:15) is the warning and command of our Lord. But how could we “beware” and how could we know they are “false prophets” if we did not judge? And what is the God-given standard by which we are to judge? “To the Law and to the Testimony: if they speak not according to THIS WORD, it is because there is NO LIGHT in them” (Isaiah 8:20). “Ye shall know them by their fruits,” Christ said (Matthew 7:16). And in judging the “fruits,” we must judge by God's Word, not by what appeals to human reasoning. Many things seem good to human judgment which are false to the Word of God.

The Apostle Paul admonished believers, “Now I beseech you, brethren, MARK THEM which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and AVOID THEM. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.” (Romans 16:17- 18). This apostolic command could not be obeyed were it not right to judge. God wants us to know His Word and then test all teachers and teaching by it. Notice also that it is the false teachers who make the “divisions,” and not those who protest against their false teaching. And these deceivers are not serving Christ, as they profess, “but their own belly,” or their own “bread and butter as we would put it. We are to “MARK THEM” and “AVOID THEM.”

“Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord.” (2 Corinthians 6:17; read also verses 14-18)

“From such turn away” (2 Timothy 3:5). “Withdraw yourselves.” (2 Thessalonians 3:6)

“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.” (Ephesians 5:11)

“ABHOR THAT WHICH IS EVIL; CLEAVE TO THAT WHICH IS GOOD.” (Romans 12:9) “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.” (1 Thessalonians 5:21)

It would be impossible to obey these injunctions of God's Word unless it were right to judge. And remember, nothing is “good” in God's sight that is not true to His Word.
The Apostle John wrote, “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try (test, judge) the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world” (1 John 4:1). Again he wrote, “For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh... If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, RECEIVE HIM NOT into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds” (2 John 7, 10-11). This Scripture commands us to judge between those who do and those who do not bring the true doctrine of Christ.
Whenever a child of God contributes to a denominational budget that supports Modernist missionaries or teachers, he is guilty before God, according to this Scripture, of bidding them “God speed” in the most effective way possible. And he thereby becomes a “partaker” with them of their “evil deeds” of spreading soul-damning poison. How terrible, but how true! Arouse yourself, child of God. If you are guilty, ask God to forgive you and help you never again to be guilty of the blood of souls for whom Christ died. When we are willing to suffer for Christ, we can readily see the truth of God's Word on this tremendously important matter. “If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him” (2 Timothy 2:12).

MISUNDERSTOOD AND MISUSED SCRIPTURE
One of the best known and most important and misapplied Scriptures is “Judge not” (Matthew 7:1). Let us examine the entire passage:
“Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considereth not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? THOU HYPOCRITE, first cast the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.” (Matthew 7:1-5)
Read this again carefully. Notice that it is addressed to a hypocrite—not to those who sincerely want to discern whether a teacher or teaching is true or false to God's Word. And instead of being a prohibition against honest judgment, it is a solemn warning against hypocritical judgment. In fact, the last statement of this Scripture commands sincere judgment—”Then thou shalt see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.”
IF WE TAKE A VERSE OR A PART OF A VERSE OUT OF ITS SETTING, WE CAN MAKE THE WORD OF GOD APPEAR TO TEACH THE VERY OPPOSITE OF WHAT IT REALLY DOES TEACH. And those who do this cannot escape the judgment of God for twisting His Word (2 Peter 3:16). Let this be a warning to us never again to take a text or Scripture out of its context.
Many who piously quote, “Judge not,” out of its connection, in order to defend that which is false to God's Word, do not see their own inconsistency in thus judging those who would obey God's Word about judging that which is untrue to the Bible. It is tragic that so much that is anti- Scriptural has found undeserved shelter behind a misuse of the Scripture just quoted.
The reason Christendom is today honeycombed and paralyzed by Satanic Modernism is because Christians have not obeyed the command of God's Word to judge and put away and separate from false teachers and false teaching when they first appeared in their midst. Physical health is maintained by separation from disease germs. Spiritual health is maintained by separation from germs of false doctrine. The greatest peril of our day is not too much judging, but too little judging of spiritual falsehood. God wants His children to be like the noble Bereans who “searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so” (Acts 17:11).
Romans 2:1-3 is also addressed to the religious hypocrite who condemned himself because he was guilty of the same things for which he condemned others. James 4:11-12 refers to an evil spirit of backbiting and fault finding, not to judging whether teachers or teachings agree or disagree with God's Word. The Bible never contradicts itself. To understand one portion of Scripture we must view it in the light of all Scripture. “No prophecy of the Scripture is of any private (isolated) interpretation” (2 Peter 1:20).

“Comparing spiritual things (words) with spiritual” (1 Corinthians 2:13).
THE WHEAT AND THE TARES
The “Wheat and the Tares” parable of Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43, is also much misunderstood. First of all, our Lord is talking about the world, not His Church—”the field is the world.” He goes on to say that “the good seed are the children of the Kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one.” (Matthew 13:38). They are the two groups in the world, children of God— those who have received Christ (John 1:12), and the children of the devil—those who reject Christ (John 8:44). When any of the “children of the wicked one” get into the professed church of Christ, as they have always done, a definite procedure for God's children is set forth in His Word. First, it is their duty to tell them that they have “neither part nor lot” in Christ (see Acts 8:21-23 and context). If the children of the devil do not leave voluntarily, as is generally the case, God's children are commanded to “purge out” these unbelievers (1 Corinthians 5:7). But God's people have disobeyed His Word about this, and so unbelievers have gotten into control, as is now the case in most denominations. Therefore, those who purpose to be true to Christ and His Word are commanded to “come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord” (2 Corinthians 6:17), regardless of property or any other considerations. When we obey God's Word, we can trust Him to take care of all the consequences of our obedience.

OTHER MATTERS TO BE JUDGED
Immoral conduct of professed believers in Christ is to be judged. 1 Corinthians chapter 5 tells a sad story and closes with the Apostolic injunction, “Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person” (2 Corinthians 5:13).
Disputes between Christians concerning “things that pertain to this life” (1 Corinthians 6:3) should be judged by a tribunal of fellow Christians instead of going before unbelievers in the civil courts. The whole sixth chapter of 1 Corinthians makes clear God's plan for His people in this regard. And some startling truths are here revealed: First, “the saints shall judge the world.” Second, “we shall judge angels” (1 Corinthians 6:2- 3). Beloved, are we letting God prepare us for this high place?
We ought to judge ourselves. “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves” (2 Corinthians 13:5). “For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened (child trained) of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world” (1 Corinthians 11:31-32). What a change and what a blessing it would be if we would judge our own faults as uncharitably as we do the faults of others—and if we would judge the failings of others as charitably as we do our own! And Christians could save themselves much chastening of the Lord if they would judge and confess and cease their disobedience to God. And, O, how much dishonour and lack of fruit would our blessed Lord be spared!

LIMITATIONS OF HUMAN JUDGMENT
We are not to judge scruples. God forbids our judging our brethren concerning the eating of certain kinds of food, keeping of days, etc. Romans chapter 14; 1 Corinthians 10:23-33; and Colossians 2:16-17 cover this subject.
We are also not to judge motives. See 1 Corinthians 4:1-5. Only God can see into the heart and know the motives that underlie actions.
We are also not to judge who is saved. “The Lord knoweth them that are His” (2 Timothy 2:19). We cannot look into anyone's heart and say whether or not they have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour, if they profess that they have. But we had better test ourselves according to 2 Corinthians 5:17: “If any man be IN CHRIST, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” If this change has not taken place, our profession is vain.

ELEMENTS IN JUDGMENT
The New Testament Greek word that is most often translated “judge” or “judgment” is “krino.” On the one hand, it means to distinguish, to decide, to determine, to conclude, to try, to think and to call in question. That is what God wants His children to do as to whether preachers, teachers and their teachings are true or false to His Word.
The Apostle Paul writes: “And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; that ye may approve things that are excellent” (Philippians 1:9-10). A wrong idea of love and lack of knowledge and judgment causes God's people often to approve things that are anything but excellent in God's sight. The epistle to the Hebrews tells us that mature believers, that is, those who are of “full age,” are those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil” (Hebrews 5:14).
On the other hand, the Greek word “krino”—judge or judgment—means to condemn, to sentence, and to punish. This is God's prerogative, for He has said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, saith the Lord” (Romans 12:19).
Thus Christians are to exercise discernment, but not vengeance.

GUARD AGAINST A WRONG ATTITUDE
Christians should watch against the tendency of the flesh to assume a critical and censorious attitude toward those who do not share our opinions about other matters than those which have to do with Bible doctrine and moral conduct. Rather than “pick to pieces” our brethren in Christ, it is our privilege and duty to do everything we can to encourage their spiritual upbuilding. We ought to love and pray for one another and consider ourselves lest we be tempted.

A FINAL WORD
If you are saved, let us not forget that “we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ” (2 Corinthians 5:10). It will be well with those who are studying God's Word, walking in the light of it, living for Christ and the salvation of souls. It will go ill with those who have accepted Christ but who are living for the things of this world.
If you are a mere professor of Christ, or profess nothing, my friend, may I lovingly remind you that “judgment must begin at the house of God; and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the Gospel?” (1 Peter 4:17). Delay not another moment to ask God for Christ's sake to forgive your sins. Surrender your heart and will to the loving Saviour who died for you. Make Him the Lord of your life. Happy and blessed will you be, now and forever.
For more on verses misused by the ecumenical movement see commentaries on 1 Sam. 24:4-10; 18:15-17; Mk. 9:38-40; John 13:35; 17:21; Acts 5:38-39; Rom. 14:4; James 4:1.
MATTHEW 7:15-17 —— ““Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.””

The chief fruit of a false teacher is false teaching, error, and heresies. See Acts 20:30; Rom. 16:17; Gal. 1:6-7; 1 Tim. 4:1; 2 Pet. 2:1; 1 John 4:1-2. There are different classes of false teachers described in the New Testament. One type is characterized by a moral life of Christian service. I believe this is what Matthew 7 describes by referring to the “sheep’s clothing” (v. 15) and the “many wonderful works” (v. 22). This is the outward life and service. Inwardly, though, this false teacher is unregenerate and subverted (Titus 3:10-11) and given to cunning craftiness (Eph. 4:14). Another type of false teacher described in the New Testament brings reproach to the cause of Christ by his debauched lifestyle. This is what we see in 2 Peter 2:2,14,18,19 and Jude 4,10,19. Examples would be an adulterous modernist or a homosexual Catholic priest or a liberal divorced ecumenist who gets drunk and visits prostitutes or has a live-in girlfriend or boyfriend. The one thing that characterizes both types of false teacher, though, is false teaching, error, heresies. We must not merely look at the outward life of the teacher, but we must carefully compare his teaching with the Word of God, particularly what he believes about Jesus Christ and the Gospel and the Bible.

Hi Raymond,
That was a great [and important] POST !! So many critics who want to be "accepted" even as they PRACTICE gross sins, and they demand respect -- so they will MIS-USE this scripture at Matthew 7: 1,2 ! And that is prob. the full extent of their Bible knowledge... lol. You nailed it, good buddy!! Thank you!. I may want to borrow your writings again, while giving YOU the credit for putting it together, of course. You are a smart man, who paid his dues, and you have my respect. --Tommy Schuckman --Disabled Vietnam Veteran: 68-70. Today is very special to me.

Muslims predicted in the Bible.

Tom's Journal. http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/ tschuckman@aol.com

This is a relatively new Blog site that I got into that references the Bible  quite a bit, and accurate.   These sure are exciting times with every day big happenings, but it seems that you STILL HAVE TO SNIFF OUT THE TRUTH, amidst Media lies and Gov't white wash.  And don't forget your constant study of the Bible that also serves to filter out the constant LIES, from Satan's servants.  And if Satan could steal ONE THIRD of the angels in heaven to make them demons --- think what an advantage he has with imperfect mankind !!

Warm Regards,

And today being Memorial Day -- I want to share this old picture of me when I was flying in Vietnam, with the 240th AHC, the Greyhounds @ Camp BearCat, RVN, in the 3rd Corps area,   every day of the week for a year: 69-70, on my second tour of duty there.  What a rush !! 

And now that I am a well read, educated Christian, I wish I would have somehow had the funds  $$$  to attend Bible college and study Hebrew and Greek !  But I am sure that God had a good reason for allowing me to get into the fray, and people know that I am surely NOT a coward!   It's just that Our Gov't has lied to us so many times that it makes me sick....  but things were a bit different when I was younger in the 1960's....when people still had Honor.




Backlash against Muslims predicted in Bible

the resistance BEGINS!

LONDON: The British government, facing criticism over the killing of a soldier by suspected Islamists in a London street, is to set up a new group to combat radical Muslim preachers and others whose words could encourage violence.

Prime Minister David Cameron's office said on Sunday the group aimed to fight radicalism in schools and mosques, tighten checks on inflammatory internet material, and disrupt the "poisonous narrative" of hard-line clerics. Read more here.

There seems to be a general resistance in the air around the western world concerning the rise of Islamic fanaticism and its violent tendencies. From country to country people seem to be awakening to the reality that, even though not all Muslims are terrorists, all terrorists are apparently Muslims.

The Bible makes this interesting connection in fact, that the pale/green horse of Revelation would rise to 1/4 of the earth's population and, now, Islam has reached that number almost exactly.

The Fourth Seal...

And I looked, and behold a pale (green) horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
Revelation 6:8
This one has to be Islam. The math is too solid to ignore. The prophecy states that power was given to them over the fourth part of the earth. High end estimates put the number of Muslims currently living at 1.8 billion (see here). With a world population sitting at roughly 7 billion that puts the high estimate of Muslims at exactly one fourth of the world's population.

Green is the official color of Islam (flags, etc). The prophecy states the color to be "pale" but should rather be interpreted green.

The color of Death's horse is written as khlōros (χλωρός) in the original Koine Greek,[14] which can mean either green/greenish-yellow or pale/pallid.[15] The color is often translated as "pale", though "ashen", "pale green", and "yellowish green"[12] are other possible interpretations (the Greek word is the root of "chlorophyll" and "chlorine"). Based on uses of the word in ancient Greek medical literature, several scholars suggest that the color reflects the sickly pallor of a corpse.[3][16]In some modern artistic depictions, the horse is distinctly green.[17]
Islam began in the seventh century with Muhammad and is the second largest religion on earth behind Christianity. The vast, vast majority of death by terrorism is the result of the teachings of Islam. As for the reference to "hunger" consider the fact that the Iranian Islamic regime would rather starve its own people than cooperate with the rest of the world and realize Israel's right to exist and halt their intentions to produce a nuclear bomb with which use to blackmail the world and rid the Middle East of Israel's presence. (See here)

The reference to "beasts" could easily refer to the way Islamic extremists treat people - even their own people - like brute beasts.


So - it really does seem that the Bible's prediction on the pale/green horse of Islam reaching its limit at 1/4 of the earth's population has been fulfilled. The Bible... for the win!
