There is a lot of talk and discussion about some things, beliefs or organizations today being too Exclusive and not Inclusive enough !!! People apply this faulty logic to find fault with anything or everything that they don’t agree with, just because they feel it is not Inclusive of everyone !!!

Hidden fact is, most of these, all-inclusive people, don’t really want everyone included, unless they agree with their logic of what inclusiveness is !!!

I can think of only one thing in this world that is completely and totally inclusive,,, no matter who you are,,, where you are,,, or,,, what you are !! More on this below !!!

Okay I have ran into this All-Inclusive logic used against Jesus,,, usually referring to the verse John 14:6 from the Bible !!

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

So what is he saying ???? Basically he is saying no one can be saved from their sin and ascend to heaven to be with Father God,,, unless they believe and accept in their heart who and what Jesus is,,, the only begotten Son of God !!!

Hummmmmm ,,,, I would say that is a pretty exclusive view,,, don’t you agree ???

Well,,, No,,, I don’t agree !!! It is actually Exclusively Inclusive if you look deeper into it !!! Below is a commentary from LIfe Bible App on this verse !!

John 14:6  Jesus says that he is the only way to God the Father. Some people resent Christianity because they think it is too exclusive and too narrow. In reality, the way is wide enough for the whole world if everyone would accept Jesus. But some people want to go their own way. Instead of worrying about how limited it sounds to have only one way to eternal life, we should be saying, Thank you, God, for providing a sure way to get to you!

If you think about it a bit,,,, all organizations, groups or businesses are Exclusive and restricted even to join !!! Be it military, schools, religions, clubs or countries !!!

Look around and you can easily see that any group that is all-inclusive without some restrictions for membership/entry ,,,, never even get started and if they did get started,,, they aren’t around for long !!!

So what is the entry requirement to get into Heaven after this life and be with Jesus for eternity ???

Well,,, in your heart,,, you have to believe and accept that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God,,, in your heart,,, you have to believe and accept that Jesus was God in human form on earth that came to save us from our sins,,, in your heart,,, you have to believe and accept that he was crucified and took on himself all of our sins and the all sins of the world,,, in your heart,,, you have to admit to him that you are a sinner and ask him for forgiveness of you sins ,,, at this point he will fill you with his Holy Spirit and Peace and take you to Heaven when you pass from this world !!!! You Are Saved Now and Forever at this point !!!

Roman 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Here is the All-Inclusive part of this Exclusive Heaven,,,,,,,, anyone can join by just inviting Jesus into your heart and life,,, rich, poor, ugly, beautul, man, woman, black, white, pink, red, purple, yellow, brown, young, old, good or bad,,, anyone can join,,, just believe in Jesus and ask him into you life !!! He will change your life,,, guaranteed !!! I pray you will do it now,,, if you haven’t already !!!

Okay,,, so above I mentioned that there is one All-Inclusive group that will take anyone without exception and without restriction !!!! That would be the Devil and Hell,,, anyone,,, in fact everyone,,, that refuses Jesus will go there when you pass from this life !!! You don’t have to do anything special to qualify for Hell,,, just reject or put off, until to late, accepting Jesus in you life and heart !!! Then just continue to live your good, bad or indifferent life just as you always have and spend eternity separated from God in Hell !!! I pray you will take action now so that won’t be the case !!!

Thanks and May God Bless your Day !!!!

Today I want to talk about “What” ,,,, What killed Jesus ???

It is pretty much historical fact,,, Who killed him ,,,, Sadducees and Pharisees condemned him and the Romans executed him on the Cross !!

But what actually caused his death,,,, The Son of God ???

I believe there was two major things that happen while he hung on that Cross !! First,, he was completely separated from God the Father and second,, he had all the Sins of the world laid against him, as he was the one final sacrifice, through his blood, to the Father to rectify mankind back to the God !!!

We have to clarify one thing from the start,,, Jesus was Sin free,,, he just took on himself, all the Sin of the world, past, present and future so that mankind could be rectified back to the Father though this one final sacrifice !!!

John 3:17 For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him.

So what had to happen while he was nailed to that Cross in order to rectify with the Father God ???

Well first,,, Jesus had to be completely isolated/abandoned from/by the Father,,, as God will not allow sin around him in his Holiness !!!

Second,,, at that point of utter abandonment and left completely alone by the Father,,, all the Sins of the world,,, past, present and future were laid on him !!! It is unimaginable to any living person the magnitude of this pouring out of Sin and Evil that he endured for us !!!

John 19:28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfill the Scripture), “I thirst.” 29 A jar full of sour wine stood there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth. 30 When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

Then,,, on the 3rd day God raised him from the Dead and placed him at his right hand in heaven,,, having conquered the last power the Devil had over us (Death) !!!

So applying this to us ,,,, We are still living under the threat of Death from Sin and Separation from God !!

The only path to saving ourselves from this eternal Death is by accepting Jesus as our personal Savior and admitting that we are sinners and ask forgiveness !! Instantly Jesus will forgive us our sins and set us free to experience his peace and protection against the evils that surround us each day !!! We are now rectified back to God for eternity !!!

Do not let yourself be deceived by any other teaching in this world,,, Jesus is the only way back to the Father !!!

John 14:6  Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

May God Bless All Your Days !!!

So what is “I,,,ism” ???

That is what I call self-centered, self promoting, self praising selfishness !!!

We all have seen it in people,, maybe, even in ourselves,, I know I have went through periods of “I,ism” in my life,,, I can do this, I can do that, I don’t need anyone, I am the best,,, look at me ????

I had a person explain it perfectly years ago !!!

Envision a circle in your mind and in the center of that circle is,,, you ,,,, everything surrounding you in that circle is the world and you are the center of attention !!!

For the most part,,, I,ism is running rampant today in the world !! Everyone is focused on what is important to them without any regard for others out of their circle !!

I ran across a prime example this week of a well known person that thinks his (I,ism) opinion is worth listening too and should be valued !!!

Bill Maher !!! “I scold the Left when they say [pro-lifers] hate women… they don’t hate women… they think [abortion] is murder, and it kind of is. I’m just okay with that. I am. I mean, there’s 8 billion people in the world. I’m sorry, we won’t miss you… Is that not your position if you’re pro-choice?”

Is this a perfect example of I,ism or what ??? I,I,I,I and I ??? However, he did sum up the pro-choice position in a nutshell !!

Now let’s look at the alternative to I,ism,,,,,,, its You,ism !!

Jesus Christ is the perfect example of You,ism,,, i.e. ,,, You are in the center of his circle !!! Everything he taught, lived and endured while on earth in human form,,, was for you !!!

His sacrifice on the cross to take on all sin,,,,, was for “You”. It gave you a second, third or hundredth chance to admit your sin and ask him for forgiveness and have him wipe your sin slate clean and take you to heaven to spend eternity with him !!!

Don’t be an I,ism,,,, turn to Jesus, believe in him and ask forgiveness of your sins and recieve his salvation and become,,, empowered by him,,, to have everyone else as the center of your circle !!!!

May God Bless Your Day !!!

Hello,,, well I am back after the holidays and 2024 kick-off !! Hope everyone is settled into the new year and moving forward into your new adventure !!!!

Today I have some thoughts on the,,, in my view,,, 5 things that are essential for living and having a wonderful life,,,, 3 are required just to be around for the long term,,,, 1 is not quite as critical and 1 is critical for your long term existence !!! So here I go !!!

The top 3 things that we require to maintain physical living is ,,, Air,,, Water,,, and Food,,, pretty much a no brainer !!!

The basic rule of thumb for these, relating to probably 98% of the population, is the rule of 3’s !!

Air,, 3 to 5 minutes,,, if you go much longer then 3 minutes without Air (Oxygen) things are going to get critical to stay alive fairly quickly !!

Water,,, you have a bit longer, but about 3 days without water and things can become life threatening,, quickly !!!

Food,,, Well we can go without food for about 3 weeks to a month before bodily shutdow will begin, in most cases !!!

Now these are all norms and some may be able to go longer or shorter depending on the person and health, but these are a basic guide line based on ,,, no air,,, no water,,, and no food !!!

The 4th essensial thing that we need to be comfortably alive is shelter !! It doesn’t matter if the environment surrounding us is hot or cold,,, we need a place to get out of the elements to maintain our healthy existence !!! You can argue this, but no shelter will slowly start to have non-beneficial effects on our life if not resolved !!!

So there you have it,,, Air, Water, Food and Shelter !!!

So what is the 5th essential thing for life and more importantly,,, life after our physical life ??? And yes our Soul/Spirit will live on after our physical body returns to dust !!!

In my mind and belief ,,, the 5th Essential requirement for a fulfilling and fruitful life and after-life,,, is Jesus Christ !!!

If you open your heart to him and believe, accept and ask him into you life,, he will forgive your sins and fill you with unfathomable peace in a world of chaos and provide true hope in a hopeless world !!!

Looking around at the world today,,, I am pretty sure that the most of us desire,, peace,,, hope and forgiveness that we have not been able to find by ourselves !!!

Remember I said that our Soul/Spirit lives on after the body dies off ??? So where do they live on??? Well there are two places that they are destined to reside for externity ,,,, one is darkness and suffering and separation from their Creator,,, the other is light and happiness and love with their Creator !!!

It is decribed as two doors (gates),,, one is always open and the other is locked unless you have the key!!! The always open door is entrance to Hell and the locked door is entrance to Heaven !!! The key to the locked door is Jesus Christ,,, if you accept him during your physical earthly stay you will have the key to enter the locked door (gate),,, If, on the other hand, you do not accept him during your earthy stay,,, you will not have the key and be destined for the open door (gate) !!! One note,,, you have to decide while you are physically alive before your physical body passes away,,, after that, your fate is sealed for eternity ,,, no ifs,,, no ands,,, no buts !!!!

Matthew 7:13 “Go in through the narrow gate, because the gate to hell is wide and the road that leads to it is easy, and there are many who travel it.”

If you have already made the decision for Jesus,,, then you already have the key to Heaven and don’t have to worry about where you will be after physical death,,, If you haven’t or refuse to make a decision,, then the the default after physical death for your Soul/Spirit is the wide gate,,, Hell !!!

I will pray that if you have not accepted Jesus (the key to Heaven) ,,, you will before it is too late !!!! None of us know about tomorrow or even a few hours from now !!!

God Bless Your Day !!!!!
