I just read in the Bible that the understanding of scriptures comes from God and not personal opinions.

I just read in the Bible that my goal in life is to be other people’s shepherd, not an Expert, or to be highly educated or a Pro.

I just sit here every day and never see anyone or go anywhere and I am happy to do it. Nothing interests me but God and I’m so thankful for that. I will never make something out of myself on Earth so people won’t ever be happy but God is happy.

Mary the girl who carried Jesus and Abraham and Sarah are just two examples of how our age means nothing to God.

The manna, the feeding of the 5,000 and the 10,000 are not in the Bible to show what God did then but as an example of what God can do.

Things are considered to be good because we have set standards for what we can see therefore everything is based on our standards but God who is far better than us can’t be seen.

Our destination has NOTHING to do with getting things right or wrong because it is NOT A TEST, the law could have done that no it is based on our heart.

Everything in this world is based on personal opinions. That’s what you think about what you see but personal opinions killed God’s son and you can’t see God.

The children of Israel were freed from slavery in Egypt, led across the desert and given a land. This is in the Bible not to show us what God did for them but to show us what God does with us now.

To me God is much more than an education can produce. He created the ones who created the education! When people learn something that people have produced then they have only learned something that people have produced and God is WAY bigger than that.

Things that cause me to fear God have just become “expected things” for other people. I NEVER just expect anything.

People are very good at saying that God is incredible to them but I never hear any discussion about what it takes to become His child… It’s just: “He does THIS for me” and “He does that” but never “I”.

In the Bible God is very good to refer to things that people can relate to but He makes sure to point out that nothing is more powerful than He is.

Savior is used 31 times in the Old Testament!

Jer 30:9
9 Instead, they will serve the LORD their God
and David their king,
whom I will raise up for them.
NIV
God planned for David.

Jer 29:23
and in my name have spoken lies, which I did not tell them to do. I know it and am a witness to it, declares the LORD.
NIV

Jesus stopped this from happening:
Jer 28:16-17
16 Therefore, this is what the LORD says: 'I am about to remove you from the face of the earth. This very year you are going to die, because you have preached rebellion against the LORD.'"
NIV

Anytime that the word of God was spoken whether by priests, prophets or anyone else it has not been accepted by people.

Jer 23:15
ungodliness has spread throughout the land.
NIV

Jer 23:13
They prophesied by Baal
and led my people Israel astray.
NIV
How is this different from following something other than God?

What a man who believes in God says or does will never be accepted by this world which is being run by Satan.

Jer 23:5-6
5 "The days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I will raise up to David a righteous Branch,a King who will reign wisely and do what is just and right in the land. 6 In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety.
This is the name by which he will be called: The LORD Our Righteousness.
NIV
This is about Jesus.

Jer 20:13
Give praise to the LORD!
NIV

Jer 19:14
14 Jeremiah then returned from Topheth, where the LORD had sent him to prophesy
NIV
See? Do you think that Jeremiah spent time caking the created happy?

Jer 17:13
13 O LORD, all who forsake you will be put to shame. Those who turn away from you will be written in the dust
because they have forsaken the LORD,
NIV

Jer 17:9
9 The heart is deceitful above all things
and beyond cure.
Who can understand it?
NIV

Jer 17:7

7 "But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
whose confidence is in him.
NIV

The created are MOST impressed at maintaining how other created people evaluate them whereas they should just be thankful that the creator created them.

I have read the Bible a lot but the thing that I see over and over again is how people make things more important than God and I see that happening and nothing makes God more angry.

Jer 16:19
19 GOD, my strength, my stronghold,
my safe retreat when trouble descends:

Jer 14:9
But GOD, you are, in fact, here, here with us! You know who we are — you named us!

Jer 13:16
16 Let your lives glow bright before GOD
before he turns out the lights,

Jer 10:21
21 It's because our leaders are stupid.
They never asked GOD for counsel,
And so nothing worked right.
The people are scattered all over.

Jer 10:10
10 But GOD is the real thing —
the living God, the eternal King.

Jer 8:8
Your religion experts have taken you for a ride!

Jer 7:25-27
25 From the time your ancestors left the land of Egypt until now, I've supplied a steady stream of my servants the prophets, 26 but do you think the people listened? Not once. Stubborn as mules and worse than their ancestors!'

Jer 6:20
God said: Your religious rituals mean nothing to me."

Jer 6:13
13 "Everyone's after the dishonest dollar,
little people and big people alike.

Jer 5:23-24
23 But this people — what a people!
Uncontrollable, untameable runaways.
24 It never occurs to them to say,
'How can we honor our GOD with our lives,
The God who gives rain in both spring and autumn and maintains the rhythm of the seasons, Who sets aside time each year for harvest and keeps everything running smoothly for us?'

If Society killed Jesus then what will they do to you?

Luke 16:13
13 "No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money ."
NIV

It is very important to remember that the ONLY REASON that we exist at all is because God created us. So life should NOT be about what we can do but it should be about God.

This doesn’t happen today because my will is more important:
Luke 22:42-43
42 "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done."
NIV

A HUGE part of the gift from God s that we are dead to sin. Some things re not good to do here o Earth but they have NO EFFECT on us spiritually because we have died with Christ.

Jesus told many parables about the person in charge sending his son and the son was killed. That’ what happened then and it’s still happening today.

God is faithful YES but all I ever hear about is His faithfulness and not our responsibility to get it. People who are committed to just themselves just talk about how faithful God is.

I know some people who this talks about because they are faithful to themselves.
Hos 5:7
7 They are unfaithful to the LORD;
they give birth to illegitimate children.
NIV

1 John 3:1-2

3:1 How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
NIV

God is fully capable WITHOUT YOU. There are things that are important for you to do but those apply to you alone and He can and does do whatever He wants to.

If there are few that find it as Jesus said then if many people like what we’re doing then maybe we’re on the wrong road…

People are ultimately concerned with making other people happy but the one that really matters is God NOT other people.

There is a lot of talk about what is the “Ultimate Sin” but Jesus himself as God said that we are dead to sin.

People like to say that God gives up but after so many years of waiting and trying that’s just not true because He does not give up.

Did Eve wear makeup or color her hair?

Originally people willingly gave to God but now they commit to an organization.

Jer10:23
23I know, O LORD, that a man's life is not his own;
It is not for man to direct his steps.
NIV

Jer 17:10
10 "I the LORD search the heart
and examine the mind,
to reward a man according to his conduct,
according to what his deeds deserve."
NIV

Jer 17:7

7 "But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
whose confidence is in him.
NIV

Jer 17:5
"Cursed is the one who trusts in man,
who depends on flesh for his strength
NIV

Jer 15:15
15 You understand, O LORD;
remember me and care for me.
NIV

Jer 14:22
Do the skies themselves send down showers?
No, it is you, O LORD our God.
NIV

Jer 10:23
23 I know, O LORD, that a man's life is not his own;
it is not for man to direct his steps.
NIV

Jer 8:10
all are greedy for gain;
NIV

Jer 8:7
But my people do not know
the requirements of the LORD.
NIV

Jer 8:6
Each pursues his own course
NIV

This is NEVER preached:
Jer 6:19
19 Hear, O earth:
I am bringing disaster on this people,
the fruit of their schemes,
because they have not listened to my words
and have rejected my law.
NIV

Jer 6:13
13 "From the least to the greatest,
all are greedy for gain;
NIV

The Lord takes care of us. He is our Father but we depend on many other things. We have become prostitutes for anything that pleases us.

Jer 2:31

31 "You of this generation, consider the word of the LORD:
NIV

The biggest idol today is money. People think that the more money the better.

God took the time to warn us about worshiping idols so we don’t fashion them (we think) but we have turned to many other things that we rely on instead of God.

It’s NOT up to you. This is God!:
Jer 1:12
12 The LORD said to me, "You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled."
NIV

One of the HUGE things that God has given us and I NEVER have mentioned is that Christ has given us His righteousness! This world tries to get us “to do enough” so that we can become something but God is already happy with us because Jesus did it.

Isa 61:10

He dressed me up in a suit of salvation,
he outfitted me in a robe of righteousness,

Regardless of your condition, this World
ONLY accepts only what they consider to
be normal things.
For 42 years I was normal so everything was
acceptable but at 42 years old I as beaten up,
my brain stem broken, beat in the ears with
bottles and nearly died so now I’m not
normal anymore (so they say). Everything
that I do has to meet standards that I can’t
meet but I am required by the World to meet
the ‘normal’ standard of which I am not.
To even have to identify that there is a
standard that I can’t meet is rude and very
mean. But there IS a standard and time and
time again I must meet it if I want anything
at all.
1
So I have to try very hard to understand
what is required, use the necessary tools or
the necessary ‘normal’ friends and make
sure that what I give the requestor meets
their standards if I want anything at all.
This is NOT good and I constantly wonder
how other people do it...
What is even more unusual is that God takes
such thorough good care of me. I never
have to wonder if He accepts me. He
always helps me whereas humans don’t. I
believe in Him and I live for Him.
I never worry about my behavior with Him
but I always worry about my behavior with
other people.
2
Other people have standards that I MUST
meet but He loves me just because I love
Him. Other people look at my behaviors but
He looks at my heart. Other people don’t
hesitate to say “NO” but He always says
yes.
I have 3 sons and 2 of them have disabilities
so now I’m the 3rd one. Of the 2 with
disabilities both of them try very hard to
meet the ‘normal’ standards of this World in
fact one of them always says “I’m very
close to being normal…” but he always has
trouble because the standards of this World
are hard for him to meet. The other one
simply accepts the standards of this World
as the way things are and then there’s me. I
am no different than I was except that I can’t
walk so I see how we are treated differently
and I don’t like it! And I see how others
without disabilities are treated very
differently than me.
3
So to exist at all I rely on God because this
World doesn’t like me (and they tell me!)
and it’s difficult to even exist.
Other people are happy with what they have
to do but I can do nothing and I’m happy
with God.
Things that make other people happy don’t
make me happy because I can’t do them.
When I look at things I think I can do that
but no one will let me do anything so living
in this World is not good for me. I’m able to
do most anything but people will let me do
nothing so life is not good.
The BEST answer that I can think of is to
treat everyone regardless of anything else as
they are. Which is the same as God treats
everyone. The heart and God are things that
you can’t see so the perspective has got to
change.
4
If people stopped evaluating only what they
could see then more acceptability would
prevail! I have no problem saying that there
are things that I can’t do like travel but
there’s a lot that I can do. I don’t have to
make a lot of money I just want to do
something!
People have got to stop looking and
evaluating things that they can see or do and
trust in God. He is far more capable than
they are!
5
So my suggestion is to eliminate standards
that we can see and evaluate and start rating
people on what they CAN do. God formed
them in their mother’s wombs, wrote down
ALL the days of their lives AND they were
born. Not to mention that they are here to
do His will not someone else’s will. And
with this we have many more people to
consider instead of only those who could
afford the educational standards that suit this
world.
God developed us so IF we needed
something MORE then He would have
given it to us!
But like the children of Israel we want more
than we have.
6
The difference is that I can’t have more and
after reading God’s word I know that I don’t
need more but I’m young so will this life
accommodate me or do I have to
accommodate it?
I have NO PROBLEM with the fact that
God creates humans mostly who can walk
but I am human, God created me and I can’t
walk and I am not alone! So either I (who
God created) am not good or our standards
have to change! I can’t spend the next
several years as a no good person because I
am a good person.

Religion has been developedby man (the created) to please man (the created) but God (who was with man inthe beginning and has always led man has made it very clear in the Bible (Hisword) that we are here for Him butt society tells us that we’re here to makesomething special out of ourselves even though the Bible tells us that 1) Godeveloped us 2) He wrote ALL the days of our lives in His book BEFORE we wereborn.

”eye candy” is a powerful term. Evidently everything that you can see is valuable to people but God our creator is not about “eye candy”.

It is extremely interesting the God said: my fame.
Isa 66:19
my fame
NIV

Isa 64:8
8 Yet, O LORD, you are our Father.
We are the clay, you are the potter;
we are all the work of your hand.
NIV

This came from Jesus:
Isa 62:11-12
11 The LORD has made proclamation
to the ends of the earth:
"Say to the Daughter of Zion,
'See, your Savior comes!
See, his reward is with him,
and his recompense accompanies him.'"
12 They will be called the Holy People,
the Redeemed of the LORD;
and you will be called Sought After,
the City No Longer Deserted.
NIV

Who sees the light?
Isa 58:10
"If you do away with the yoke of oppression,
with the pointing finger and malicious talk,
10 and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry
and satisfy the needs of the oppressed,
then your light will rise in the darkness,
and your night will become like the noonday.
NIV

EVERYTHING is not about you:
Isa 55:8
8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,"
declares the LORD.
9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. 10 As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, 11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
NIV

Let’s talk about movie stars i.e. celebrities.

Are they not humans? Yes.

Can’t they be for or against God? Yes.

What are they responsible for? The same as us bringing glory to God.

Should they or God be worshiped? God.

Does Society worship them or God? Them.

That’s your answer. The scriptures say that we should worship God alone.

Isa 53:2-3
2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by men,
a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering.
Like one from whom men hide their faces
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he took up our infirmities
and carried our sorrows,
yet we considered him stricken by God,
smitten by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.


NIV

People call this Mother Nature?
Isa 51:15
15 For I am the LORD your God,
who churns up the sea so that its waves roar —
the LORD Almighty is his name.
NIV

Isa 44:24-26

I am the LORD,
who has made all things,
who alone stretched out the heavens,
who spread out the earth by myself,

25 who foils the signs of false prophets
and makes fools of diviners,
who overthrows the learning of the wise
and turns it into nonsense,
26 who carries out the words of his servants
and fulfills the predictions of his messengers,
NIV

This is why we’re here:
Isa 43:7
7 everyone who is called by my name,
whom I created for my glory,
whom I formed and made."
NIV

People don’t realize this because they redefine the Bible to satisfy themselves:
Isa 40:6-8
"All men are like grass,
and all their glory is like the flowers of the field.
7 The grass withers and the flowers fall,
because the breath of the LORD blows on them.
Surely the people are grass.
8 The grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of our God stands forever."
NIV

Here are some things that all people must face:

1) You were created by God.
2) Religion was developed by man, the created, to satisfy man, the
created, and it is very much treated as a pass or fail test but it is
not a test, it’s an Eternity!

Isa 66:16
the LORD will execute judgment upon all men,
NIV
