Soteriology.

Hi  Friends,
    I have lived a long time on this planet,  Earth, and learned a ton of things, also having been tricked, lied to, deceived, and misled, too many times.  But the most wonderful thing I have right now that makes up for all the horrible Pain, Suffering, disappointment's,  lost loves, death of loved ones that ripped my heart apart...... is God's wonderful plan of Salvation,  hands down !   The bible even says:  "If a man gains everything yet loses his soul,  what good is it all ?"   If the Rapture of God's anointed Saints vanish from this corrupt earthly scene and are taken UP TO HEAVEN to be with Jesus, in Joy and Safety,  while the rest of those folks are "Left Behind" on Earth as the Great Tribulation comes with every fearful calamity ever seen and experienced,  how would YOU feel ??   Frankly, my dear friends,   I would feel DEVASTATED and hopeless !!  
      I have explained many times on this humble blog site,  that if it depended on us learning a difficult foreign language to get to heaven....  would we not just DO IT ?   OK,  I hate Math,  so if I had to learn or re-learn Algebra,  wouldn't I do it right away ??  The answer is,  YES !   But I hope I'd have a better teacher than that last bum... LOL.   He couldn't 'teach his way out of a wet paper bag !'   If his I.Q. were  just two points higher,  he could be a potato !  




        I will bet that the majority of so-called 'Christians' in the USA still think/ believe that,  'only good people go to heaven !'  And that is not correct,  sorry.   Actually,  NO ONE HUMAN IS 'QUOTE' :  "GOOD !"   All of us are born into sin and there fore imperfect and on the 'high way to hell.'   It is ONLY by our verbal and heart felt acceptance of the Lord Jesus  Christ, as our Lord and Savior,   that we can become 'justified' by Father God, forgiven,   and gain entry into heaven.   There are a number of reasons why most humans don't take this SIMPLE action to gain true Salvation.   I will name a few, tonight:  Pride,  Stupidity,  Ignorance of what the bible truly says, and Satan's misleading doctrines and the glitter of the world/ and temptations.  
    The KJV Bible gives us everything we need to learn how to fight this dark, demon sponsored war fare.   Just read:  2nd Timothy 3: 16.,   "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for instruction in righteousness,  that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."   So,  there you have it !   Now,  where to start in those 66 books that make up our Bible??   I always recommend that a newer person start with the 4 Gospels:  Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and then read the book of Romans, so that they get a firm grip on the basic, fundamentals of the all important Gospel of Jesus Christ,  because if something happens, unexpectedly, that you die or get killed, etc.,  --- you will be  SAVED !  After you learn all about Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross for all sinful mankind, we would want to pray earnestly to the Father, admit that we are a sinner deserving of death and hell,  but thru Christ's blood sacrifice, we are now Saved.  We would ask forgiveness for all our sins in the past, and then try hard to follow Christ...  His fine example and learn the bible better, thru daily study, maybe one hour per day, and find a systematic study guide,  system of study,   and also find a church that truly teaches the Bible.   So,  after you start to learn the Bible better --- you can really discern if a certain church is teaching the real TRUTH OF THE KJV BIBLE, or not.  If the church or pastor is just teaching 'feel good' baloney, lies, or they only want your money,  get up and leave !!    Hint:  If you go into a church where no one brings their own copy of the Bible, and/ or there are no Bibles to be found in the church.... LEAVE !    You will also get the Holy Spirit, forever, to be present in you, and that Spirit will help you learn better, faster, and lead you to witness and share what you have learned with others.   
       As a matter of fact,  this is pretty much how you can tell if another person is a real, bible educated Christian, or not.... if she/ he shares their Faith of the Bible with others, and their relatives, regularly !!  Yes,  that separates the 'men from the boys.... and the women from the little girls !'   Jesus, said, in the book of Matthew:  "if you are ashamed of me on earth,  I will be ashamed of you in front of my Father [God]."    God does not like Cowards !
      And, if a person 'claims to be a Christian,'  they won't just walk out of a legal marriage unless the mate commits ADULTRY !!  And if that ever happens, the co-called "innocent"  spouse who was sinned against doesn't HAVE TO DIVORCE HER HUSBAND, but can forgive and take him back !!   But perhaps the only thing that was holding the marriage together was money $$$$ -- in the first place.   And most women now days hate the Bible term 'husbandly headship !'   Instead they are likely to 'cherry pick' what scriptures they want to obey, or follow, as long as they are in HER favor.... AND SUIT HER WISHES AND DESIRES.    And trading money for sex is never a good idea, either.....  duh.   Sadly, now days, many women are still big champions of "Woman's Lib" and listen to their girl friends instead of obeying the bible.   women MIGHT BE ABLE TO PUT ON A GOOD SHOW at the church,  and deceive the congregation,  but they cannot fool God !   That goes for men too, of course.    And many so-called pastors can be swayed into protecting the wrong spouse too or taking side, for one reason or the other, with wrongful desires.  Not to worry:  God will Judge us all, in due time.  
    At this point in my life,  I really have NO ONE to care for me, except for a few platonic friendships, and the Lord.  [Look that big word up now ...  lol.].   I guess I still have a few fears and phobias, guilt from the past, as I messed up so many times in my life,  plus some combat PTSD,  and I struggle with my daily concerns,  but I know that I am saved.  So the coming of the RAPTURE doesn't scare me at all, in fact I hope it comes tonight while I am in a deep sleep !!  And the VAMC in Iron Mtn., MI., usually takes care of most of my medical needs, so I just pay my bills on time and try to reach out to meet new people, and make new friends as best I can.   I need an oil change in my Dodge Ram truck, soon.    I have Air Conditioning, and clean running water, and food in the refrigerator.   Yet, I must admit that I get lonely at times,  but I pray to God about that too.  
     Things will be getting worse in the near future.... unfortunately, no matter who gets elected to the Presidency in the USA !  Albeit,  we Christians and Patriots will want to vote for the gentleman who will best protect us and our Constitutional Rights and Freedoms, a man like Mr. Donald Trump.  He is not running for pastor of some church, and he is not perfect,  but I feel that he is the right man for the big job.     To me, there  is no other choice, except an early death from Socialism and a One World Gov't !   AS I said before,  I just hope that we do get all the way to an election on Nov. 7th  ! ! !  martial law would not surprise me at all, and the so-called 'president' would love to declare martial law, on any pretext !  
       Most of all, we would want to pray for:   God's Will, to take place, in heaven, and on earth.   See:  Matthew 6: 9...  the 'Lord's Prayer.'


Warm Regards,
  Tom

I met a new buddy/ combat Vet on a discussion site, and here is what he had to say:


You can repeat anything you like. you've had your say,I.ve had mine. I AM A DISABLED VIETNAM VET SICK OF LIBERALS AND RINOS WHO SAY ONE THING, DO SOMETHING ELSE AND BOTH ARE DESTRUCTIVE TO LAW AND ORDER, OUR SOVEREIGNTY, CONTROL OF OUR RESOURCES AND ENABLED THE WORST ADMINISTRATION IN U.S. HISTORY TO ABUSE ALL AMERICANS AND CATER TO THOSE INIMICAL TO US OUTRIGHTLY SO, OR LESS OBVIOUSLY AS IN THE DRUG CARTELS AND BLACK MARKET ARMS THEY WILL NOT ADDRESS; RATHER SEEKING TO CRIMNALIZE THE 2ND AMENDMENT RIGHT TO DEFEND ONESELF. CRUZ INITIUALLY ATTACKED MELANIA, TRUMP WITH DISPARAGING REMARKS ; TRUMP REACTED AS ONLY HE CAN. . BUT, THIS IS NOT A MATTER OF PERSONAL ISSUES AND I DO NOT TRUST ANY OF THE SORE LOSERS BECAUSE IN THE END THEY ARE ALL JUST ONE THING THE DONALD IS NOT: LYING, PARASITICAL, THIEVING SCIONS OF POWER AND PRIVILEGE, CAREER POLITICIANS WITH A DIFFERENT STANDARD OF JUSTICE BETWEEN THEM AND WE WHO ELECTED THEM. IN MY LIFETIME I HAVE SEEN OUR FREEDOMS DIMINSHED, CHOICES DENIED, ALONG WITH QUALITY OF LIFE, ESCALATING, IDIOTIC, IRRESPONSIBLE, DEBT, ETERNAL WARFARE FOR THINGS NOT IN OUR BEST INTEREST AND TOTAL INCOMPETENCE SINCE THE JFK ASSASSINATION AT WHICH TME I WAS A COLLEGE FRESHMAN. I HAVE HAD A DEGREE IN GOVERNMENT FROM THE SAME COLLEGE AS THE CHAIRMAN OF THE JOINT CHIEFS SINCE 1967 AND KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. IT IS YOUR RIGHT, (FOR THE TIME BEING ,) UNDER THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO HAVE AND EXPRESS DISSENTING OPINIONS BUT, THE QUESTION IS: FOR HOW MUCH LONGER? VOTE YOUR CONSCIENCE , IF YOU HAVE ONE. MANY LEFTSTS HAVE NONE AND NO MORALS EITHER OR INTEGRITY, RESPONSIBILITY OR ACCOUNTABILITY. THEY ALL SERVE ONLY THEMSELVES OR A PARTY AGENDA AND THEIR ONLY REAL AIM IS SELF-AGGRANDIZEMENT. IF YOU WANT MORE OF THIS;YOU WILL ELECT THE BUTCHER OF BENGHAZI TO A POST FOR WHICH SHE IS TRAGICALLY UNQUALIFIED AND HER TRACK RECORD BEARS OUT THAT CONTENTION. THE CLINTON FOUNDATION IS ANTI-AMERICAN, PRO NEW WORLD ORDER AND CLANDESTINE IN OPERATION WITH FUNDING FROM NATIONS I WOULD TRULY CONSIDER TO BE INIMICAL TO US, ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF THE VERY RECENT REVELATIONS ABOUT WHO IT WAS THAT FINANCED THE 9/11/01 ATTACKS WHICH DID NOT SURPRISE ME AT ALL SINCE ABOUT 16 OF THOSE RESPONSIBLE WERE SAUDI NATIONALS INCLUDING THE RINGLEADER, MOHAMMED ATTA! CRUZ NEEDS TO GROW UP . SO DO THOSE WHO DEFEND HIM. LIFE IS TOUGH AND GETTING TOUGHER, THERE IS NOTHING FAIR ABOUT IT, BUT, YOU'D BETTER LEARN TO DEAL WITH IT, BEFORE IT DEALS WITH YOU! AS TO THE REST; SEE THE SHORT, CORRECT ANSWER FROM Salk0905!

      Brother in Arms, I totally agree with all you have said today. There is nothing quite like a sore ass loser who just wants to spoil things for the better man who won, and thereby give help, support and comfort to the 'witch' queen of the 'lower parts.' I doubt that God will judge her kindly with all the blood on her hands.

          Welcome home Brother, 50 years after the fact. there were not many welcoming us when we NEEDED it. I am amazed at those who were not even alive when we served, who know NOTHING about the war but for the untruths the leftist scum in the public school system indoctrinate into them., who DO thank me for my service now! Well, I am proud of my service because it was as honorable as the country and people who sent us to Vietnam , were NOT. They abandoned us and the Vietnamese and NEVER had a commitment to winning the war or ; WE WOULD HAVE. I was Chaplain's assistant and personal protection to MOH awardee Chaplain ( Cpt Charles Angel Liteky) of the 199th Light Infantry Brigade in my first 6 months in country, After that, his replacement. Then , my last 18 months was spent on the 30 Wards, combat traumatic multiple amputees at Walter Reed Army Medical Center where for ALL that time, I watched congress scum get preferential treatment because they WERE congress cretins! I had something mist at that time and under those circumstances did not have and I had it BEFORE going to Vietnam a degree in government from the same school as General fighting Joe Dunford, Current Chairman of the Joint chiefs and past 36th commandant of the USMC. I see things as they are because I was TAUGHT to think independently, to evaluate based on hard evidence and not put any faith in the pronouncements of professional career parasite politicians.
          Thanks for the support and I will be in touch later through the email address as I am sure we have much to discuss but I I headed to the Massachusetts Statehouse to demonstrate against AG Maura Healy's declaration of war against our 2nd amendment rights. I am carrying a sign reading Molon Labe for the message and the fact I am of Greek heritage going all the way back to Thermopylae in 480. B.C and I will be wearing a white Tee shirt with crossed AR-15's reading Homeland Security Begins..... AT HOME!. more later. At nearly 72, I am getting too old for this protesting but, I fought Honorably fifty years ago and WILL honor the oath again, to the death should it become a necessity. Trump 2016 and beyond the only REAL hope for a return to sanity and the Rule of Law and constitutional government! Strange that those of us sent to use automatic weapons to force government policy on others 12,000 miles from home are being criminalized by gutless wonders and other criminally complicit cretins all in total Violation of their SWORN OATHS to defend and uphold the Constitution making THEM in my opinion; malfeasant in office, derelict in duty and who therefore belonging in prison, not office.

              Bro, I would like your permission to post your last comment on my humble blog, please. People need to hear/ read your {OUR} truths that have been hidden and obscured by the "Liberal Lefty- Losers" and 'gutless wonders' in America, sir. I was just a Helicopter 'Door Gunner' in a Huey, with my 2- M-60's, with the 240th AHC out of Camp BearCat, RVN, [my 2nd tour of duty] etc., to take care of, and lived to tell about it, as I am now age 67, and now live in the great Northern U.P.

          Hello  Friends,
             When ever 'Big Brother' doesn't like it when I try to post something that they don't want other Patriot Americans to read....  this big pink block is launched at me.    So, just what is so 'classified' and secret about  Baking Soda ???   Duh....   Ha!  I guess the 'powers that be' don't want us to live too long and 'eat up all the resources' that they stole from the working men.   But, on the other hand, nothing surprises me about our Socialist Gov't anymore.   And if the wicked Witch of the East is elected HRC.... things will get 10 times worse, and prob overnight.   If we don't go bust first... totally bankrupt $$$.   
              Frankly,  I am happy and thankful for everything I have,  but an older, disabled guy like me is at the mercy of this 'stinking system',  too.    And this insane heat wave we are having in the Med West makes it hard for me to breathe and walk around.   Wait until that weather system travels East to Washington D.C. ....  Ha!   And the city ghettos in the big East Coast.    
               And now, Germany has experienced a multiple shooting in Munich,  Bavaria.   I spent some time at Illeshiem,  Bavaria, back in early 1968,  right before I shipped out for RVN  [Vietnam].   I liked Germany and the people I met there !   Good, nice, people !    I tired to learn the language as fast as I could.   


          I would love to get some email/ letters from people who speak and write English --- in Germany, just to get their view points on different things and ideas.

          Baking Soda May Reduce Premature Death Risk


          Today’s blog is republished from my friends at TheAlternativeDaily, a leading publisher of daily alternative health tips that I personally read every day…
          By Stephen Seifert, TheAlternativeDaily.com
          Research published this month in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology found that having balanced baking soda, or bicarbonate, levels in your body could reduce your chances of an early death.
          The study examined data compiled in the Health, Aging and Body Composition Study for 2,287 participants. Participants were healthy adults who, at the onset of the study in 1997, were between the ages of 70 and 79, and were followed for approximately 10 years. Survival data were gathered through February 2014.
          What did they find?
          Study author Dr. Kalani Raphael, associate professor and nephrology and hypertension specialist at the University of Utah, and colleagues investigated pH, carbon dioxide and bicarbonate in association with long-term survival. According to the University of Utah press release, “Critically ill patients with severe acid-base abnormalities have a very low likelihood of surviving their illness, but it’s unclear whether more subtle changes in the body’s acid-base status have an effect on the longevity of relatively healthy older people.”
          wes-veg-beans
          Raphael and colleagues found that low levels of bicarbonate may be linked to an increased risk for premature death by 24 percent. Sodium bicarbonate assists your body in balancing pH levels, possibly extending life. “What we found was that generally healthy older people with low levels of bicarbonate had a higher risk of death,” Raphael said. “Adding the pH measurement into the equation didn’t change the results, which is important because pH is not routinely measured.”
          The study’s findings may assist clinicians in better assessing a patient’s risk of premature death by analyzing their blood bicarbonate concentrations more closely. Clinicians can recommend dietary adjustments to patients with low bicarbonate concentrations to optimize health.
          What does it mean for me?
          How do you get more baking soda in your life? Surprisingly, the answer has nothing to do with that yellow box in your fridge fighting odors. If you want to balance your pH levels by getting more sodium bicarbonate in your diet, eating more fruits and vegetables is the key.
          Fruits and vegetables high in potassium and bicarbonate will have a negative potential renal acid load (PRAL) score. This represents the amount of acid produced by the kidneys after metabolism. The higher the negative, the more potassium and bicarbonate they will provide, potentially reducing your risk of premature death, according to the study. Apples, raisins, spinach, bananas, carrots, broccoli, lemons and even coffee are a few sources that will boost your potassium and bicarbonate levels.
          Are you eating enough fruits and vegetables to keep a healthy pH balance?

          Note from The Watchdog…
          Baking Soda and Exercise Performance:
          One last thing to mention here about the benefits of baking soda… There are many recent studies that reveal that taking baking soda mixed with water about 60-90 minutes before exercise shows significant improvements in exercise performance, which can equate to the results you get from exercise.
          The dosages in the studies were generally about 90-135 mg per lb of body weight, which would basically equate to about 2-3 teaspoons mixed in water for most people.  However, it was noted that this quantity caused stomach upset for some people.  If this is the case, you could test smaller amounts spaced out over time, such as 1 teaspoon 2 hrs before exercise and another teaspoon 1 hr before exercise.
          The theory as to why baking soda helps exercise performance is that it helps reduce the effects of lactic acid on the muscles and allows you to do more reps before fatigue sets in.
