Unsure that Jesus was real?

Posted by puddintane on April 24, 2008

Question: “What is the meaning of BC and AD (B.C. and A.D.)?”

Answer: It is commonly thought that BC stands for “before Christ” and AD stands for “after death.” This is only half correct. How could 1 B.C. have been “before Christ” and 1 A.D. been “after death”? BC does stand for “before Christ.” AD actually stands for the Latin phrase “anno domini” which means “in the year of our Lord.” The B.C. / A.D. dating system is not taught in the Bible. It actually was not fully implemented and accepted until several centuries after Jesus’ death.

It is interesting to note that the purpose of the BC / AD dating system was to make the birth of Jesus Christ the dividing point of world history. However, when the B.C. / A.D. system was being calculated, they actually made a mistake in pinpointing the year of Jesus’ birth. Scholars later discovered that Jesus was actually born in around 4-6 BC, not 0 AD. That is not the crucial issue. The birth, life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Christ are the “turning points” in world history. It is fitting, therefore, that Jesus Christ be the separation of “old” and “new.” BC was “before Christ” and since His birth, we have been living “in the year of our Lord.” Philippians 2:10-11, “That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

how could the worlds time line be around a man that did not exist or do the works that the bible says he did if IT DID NOT HAPPEN!!! is the world wrong? was it one “believer” that lied and tricked all the world to make this time line and keep it that way tell today?

i am a believer in my lord Jesus. it is not in faith alone that you are saved ~~ it is in the belief of our own written history.. how can you not bend to the truth and turn to the lord who wants NOTHING but your love ? God loved us so much as his children that he send Jesus his one and only son to US to live and DIE a horrible death so that we could be saved in his blood of innocents SO THAT WE COULD make it to heaven and be with are father.

he has an open invitation of love for each and every human on this earth. All he is waiting for is for YOU to except that invitation! Throw open your heart and let HIM do the work! He wants to love you, he wants to bless you, he wants you to worship him! He will take you as you are right now today. No matter were you are in life. Even if Satan has you in his grips and has you doing the most evil things, you he wants the most! He wants you to come home and be loved and cleaned and blessed! He WASHES alway your sin and makes you new and pure in the love of christ! Do not let “what you have done” stop you from taking his invitations… please.. God is all about washing away your past so you can be REBORN in Christ! To live again and be the child you were always meant to be.

Please today let Christ in your heart. Let him work in you. It takes no effort for you to say YES LORD LOVE ME! Tell him you know he is the savior! Tell him you know he came to die for you..yes YOU. . you are who he died for.

if you want to read his word you can always go to http://www.biblegateway.com/ they give free bibles to those who need them. There is nothing to stop you from learning but Satan and your willingness to let him.

god bless you all. and i thank the lord for the words he has given me to write and ask him to bless the words that someone will find him threw them! blessed is our lord!

Prayer for our marrage

Posted by puddintane on April 14, 2008

this is not one i made but one i found but is still a prayer i would like to repeat and i will share with you.

Dear Lord, We know that in our marriage we will face storms. Lord, I pray that the storms will draw us together, not divide us. I pray that in during any hardships, challenges, or stress that we face individually or as a couple, that we will come out the other side closer to one another and closer to You. Help us not to be anxious or fearful during a storm. Instead, let us stand firmly on Our Rock, with You, Lord, as our firm foundation. Let us have peace that passes human understanding, as we draw on Your supernatural strength. We know that You can bring good out of horrible situation. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Protecting are bodys wile protecting are soul?

An Eye for an Eye

38“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’[g] 39But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. 41If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

Love for Enemies

43“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[h] and hate your enemy.’ 44But I tell you: Love your enemies[i] and pray for those who persecute you, 45that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

““

how lord, how do i reach this point in my heart mind and soul. Trust.. i know trust in the lord for all things…lord read and know me before i continue so you don’t see offince in what i say. how do i get to this point? how do i.. not defend against someone who strikes me? how do i give to those that show me distan and hatred ?

I know your touch on my heart now and praise you for this.

god answers another question for me

Posted by puddintane on April 11, 2008

oh lord thank you for showing me what i needed ! This hung heavy on my heart and now i have been freed from it. praise be to you!

31″It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’[f] 32But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.

Letter

Posted by puddintane on April 9, 2008

Dear….god?

hay god.. well I’m not sure what to call you some times when i talk to you. some times it seems so formal but when i try others it seems so casual that you might be offended BLAH and i think maybe its not the name that i call you but that I’m calling you at all. Its hard some times i find my self talking to you and struggling with how to ask for something or help with something.. and when I’m honest with ‘MYSELF” i seen.. can you believe this.. i was actually trying to hide some of it. well .. DOH what the heck am i talking to,you are GOD you see and know everything before i even come to you for it. In the end i realized i was still “TRYING” to keep some control for my self and still trying to “HIDE” parts of my ugly side from you. I think i have stopped that but i have deseved myself before. Now when i come to you i lay my heart and soul open for you to inspect first. I want you to see me before i try to tell you anything. I want to show you i am bare before you. Please look in me, inspect me, criticize what you see. I know that i need “THIS”. I need you to show me what is unpleasing to you so that i can “SEE” it and address it.

I “HAVE” been reawaken in your sons blood and you have worked hard to show me all that i had misunderstood and how to find the road that leads to your gate how can i thank you enough for what you do? you do it for nothing in return except that at the end of days i may be in your home with you!!! This is the only thing you can get from leading me and teaching me is to be able to call me your devoted child and welcome me home when the trumpets in the sky call us home… i am … i am unworthy most minutes of the day to be in your presence lord.. so unworthy. Why did you allow us to be free willed! why was Satan allowed out of heaven to tempt and take us from you… you knew in all this that so many of your children would be forever lost to you and yet you let us all go to walk are paths and to have Satan ahead of us laying traps…

is are love more precess because we found our way home? I know we can not earn your love because you have already given it to each of us.. Is it a more joyas say to have us come home on our own then to have bent us to your way and keep us from wondering?

Dear lord you see my heart and that i am not questioning your ways but giving you my thoughts and asking you to help guide them to the truths that they will lead to! You have answers all my many questions in my journey home and have all the faith that you will continue to do so.

I pray lord that i will hear you when you whisper to me, I pray lord and tell you that i say “YES” before you ask your will of me, I pray lord that you walk with me and hold me up strong against the battering of Satan and his workers, I pray lord that you help me reach my children that have for to long gone with out knowing you.. I pray that you forgive me for this that i have keep your children from you.. I pray lord that you continue to help me walk the godly way a wife and mother should so that my love and actions reach my dear husband, that your whispering and my showing will bring him home also to you, how can i look so longingly at heaven when i know that he will not be there with me yet?

but i praise you for all that you have shown and given me already, the works i see you do daily in my life and for my husband. I see things shifting and moving and all praise is to you for this! I have handed it all to you and place it at your feet . i am unable to make the choices you need me to make on my own so all things need first to go threw you ! You lord will never lead me wrong.

Gratituesday meme

Posted by puddintane on April 8, 2008

gratituesday2.jpg

just woke up and started surfing and first thing i found was this :) the lord answers in his own ways. Why am i awake at 3:30?.. nightmares again blah this seems to be more and more frequent as of late.

i want to thank god for showing me in the last months all the information that i have needed, all that i have asked he has shown me in scripture or someones devotion blog. My questions are always answered. He shows me how to worship him, he leads me down the path that is his making and not my own. I have relearned what it is to know are lord, to have a relationship with this maker of all things, to have the faith of the blind that he can and will make himself known to me. I am still lacking in so many ways and i know that i need to do so very much more to be what he wants of me but he loves us and will show those that are willing and with a gentle hand guide and teach us………. i wish i could be so calm with my own children as the lord has been with me.

i am grateful that i have god to turn to when i wake in fear, and that he dose not turn from me even when he sees dought creep into my mind. I turn to him and prey until the fear has left me and ask for forgiveness at my lack of faith and understanding of why …. yes we always want to know the way’s don’t we! Yet he always lets us wait until his plan is played out and we see the large picture.

also and not on to lesser of a note i am so greatful to the lord for my husband and the power that god has been working with us. The problems the were tearing us apart have been pushed away and i have been trying with all that i am to embrace the women god says i am to be for my husband and children and in this i see the changes in our home and personal relationship with my husband and .. how do you express such gratitude for saving the marriage you alone could not?

i guess all in all I’m am just so in awe with all that god has been doing in my mind, heart, soul and life that .. this post that i found.. it is not nearly enough to say how greatful i am but it is a start and shows all my praise to our lord for the favors he has shown me!

If you want to be apart of this great gratituesday meme go visit ~ the heavenly homemaker~ ! make your post and link back to her and then add your site to her mr.linky so we can all see what wonderful things you have been given lately.

Where is thou shall not kill??

Posted by puddintane on April 4, 2008

Do you know the 10 commandments? I have been listening to some really great podcast latly that have been “re” teaching me the stuff i thought i already knew… apearentlly i knew them wrong! when you think of the commandments what do you think of first?

ya most ppl and my self included ( tell recently ) … do not kill, do not steal… not commit adultery ( which includes lusting.)

if you have i tunes .. this is ~ The North Point Ministries: Andy Stanley ~ this podcast serious “ the sinai code” .. it is well worth the listen.

those are good stuff to remember but did you know those are .. the last ones?

the very first commandment is..
thou shall have no other god before me! ( all threw the bible it talks about god being very jelious of are love and attention )

second?
You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them ( god does not want to be made into a small trinket that you pull out and worship.. he is everywhere and in everything.. how could you fit that into ANY kind of image? )

third..
You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God ( i like this one on the podcast :) he said that most of us when we hear that is … when you get mad and yell god damn it!.. ok its not good for that either but i believe generally he means .. dont attach my name to something that i did not put into action just to have better standing with it! … tommy god wants us to start this buisness, i know it!… when he has given you no just calling. you used gods name to move someone to do what you wanted to do! you USED god!

…. so far our no killing, stealing lol are not even here!

fourth..
Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. 11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy ( well this is one that from what i learned on the podcast… is not so much inforced once jesus came but .. i have read in the new testement about him saying to keep the sabbath.. one day that you will rest.. in one way i believe its a trust tool.. do you trust god to help you do all that you must do in 6 days so that you can rest on his holy day? now this day dose not have to be on a set day nor on the same day, just ONE day that you do not work and trust that the lord will move you to get all that must be done .. 7 days of work in 6! ~ i honestly do not know tho if you still must keep this day or not after jesus coming but i cant see how it hurts to have a day were you rest and thank god for all that he has done for you.)

fifth.
Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you ( oh ya as a mom this is my favorite! You see it dose not not say.. untill you reach adulthood.. it means tell one of you pass. that means in there old age when they need help you are there to help them. YOU SEE THIS MOM!! MOM!! GOD SAYS I GET TO HELP YOU WHEN YOUR OLD ! no hiding from me lol ill just park your RV behind the appartments /snicker.)

oh and.. THIS came before no not kill? .. if we keep god number one ( have no other ) if you keep number one.. how on earth would you brake the last five?

6th-10th
“You shall not murder.

“You shall not commit adultery.

“You shall not steal.

“You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.
