How did Wise men know with out a Bible?

Wise men came from the East....probably Babylon and from the school of Daniel who taught their and was considered one of their wise men or magi. The Magi were astrologers or star studiers. I'm interested in a verse from Matthew 2:2 which says the Magi astrologers knew 3 truths without ever reading a OT Bible of there day...1) Someone was born....2) He was of Royal lineage...and 3) He was a Jew....." Where is he that is born King of the Jews?, for we have seen his star in the east and are come to worship him." WOW ... he had a star that told all that...How?

I'm glad you asked. Daniel told them that a Messiah was coming to Rule the world as did most all OT prophets. They obviously studied the Hebrew nations constellation or group of stars...It was Leo meaning Lion. The Jewish Hebrew people were called the Lion in Gen 48. Something was happening in the Leo constellation that revealed one born to the Jewish peoples. Look at sky charts and you can trace back a orbit or clock like rotation of two planets that would have caused an astrologer to be amazed...they were Jupiter and Venus...Venus or Virgin..or Virgo was a planet that rotated around the Sun and eclipsed with Jupiter -"the King planet" to created what seemed to be a new glow in the sky that would have lasted for almost two years....WOW The KING planet and the VIRGIN planet crossed paths in the constellation LEO....can you see how they knew one was born a King of the Jews?

Gen 1 :14-15 show God created them (stars) for a specific reason...1 for light...and 2 for a SIGN...Lost man here is your sign.....sinner look up and see the sign. Stars are Majestic, glorious, but never to be worshiped Deut 12. To God and Jews it is punishable by death if you do. Worship the creator and not the creation. So read your Bible and not your Horoscope.

Wait look at this....i personally don't believe that the star was created at his birth, God is bigger than that. He some 4000 years earlier spoke all the stars into existence and set them in motion or orbit rotating around the Sun in a clock like manner.....He knew the exact time His Son would be born and put Jupiter and Venus on a collision path (from our view anyway) some 4000 years before it ever took place...THAT A BIG GOD !!!!! Ow year Jesus was crucified before the foundations of the Earth were ever spoken into existence to. Hope this was a holiday blessing to you...Merry Christmas

We come bearing gifts

What are we coming to church for? To many I fear are coming to receive and to take home, to few come to give. I certainly don't mean a tithe or offering, but worship. I would rather be a lowly shepherd coming to worship with my small flock of sheep any day than to be a wise man knowing how the markets operate, or knowing when to buy/ sell/ trade on Wall street. Remember those that come to worship always get their first. Wise men came to see the young child (Matthew 2:9 "When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was." ), that was in a house not in a manger as verse 11 of the same text says ("And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh" ). It was around one to two years later, after the birth. Shepherds came to see the Jesus the same day he was born (Luke 2:11 "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord") and they went and got there to see him on the same day, "And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger"Luke 2:16. I hate to be the one to bust your bubble but the shepherds and wise men were not there on the same day or at the same time.

Shepherds are lowly, no one in the eyes of society, the poorest of the poor....disrespected, unappreciated, yet that is exactly who God chose to come see and worship the Savior first. Wise men brought gifts, shepherds shouts and praise, which will you bring?

Hair Day

Comb it, braid it, weave it, curl it, straighten it, dye it, perm it, crimp it, wash it, shampoo it, condition it, dry it, highlight it, moose it, wet it, scrub it, spray it, flat iron it, steam it, slick it, style it, net it, wear a hat on it, brush it, grow it, Afro it, beehive it, swirl it, bun it, french twist it, stick gum in it, spend big money to replace it, cut it, trim it, ponytail it, put bows in it, shave it, donate it, fake it (wig), or just simply get up and go with it. Anyway you do your hair remember God has them all counted and numbered! If you lose a hair the count doesn't go from 2,345 to 2,344 no God says hair 278 just let go. He knows more about you than anyone else. He made you wonderfully and fearfully. Trust in the creator to help you with all you do today, for He careth for you! Will their be bald heads in Heaven? Full heads of hair? If nothing ever dies there will we all have long hair like cousin "IT" since cutting it would produce dead hair - what about toe nails? My mind is a dangerous thing, who can know it. One thing is for sure if nothing dies their no one will have dead skin cells falling off their pretty little heads = no dandruff. Blessed day.

Is GOD LOVE

Is God love? I have heard this question asked so many times. How can God be love if people are suffering and dieing as they are today, in war, poverty, and disease? How can God let people starve to death in Africa, India, Asia, and yes America, small children even, if God is Love? Questions such as why does He allow rape, adultery, drugs, and murder to even exist? All legitimate questions i believe, and all rightfully deserve a biblical answer. Here it is, you ready? Remember you don't have to agree with me, you have every right to be wrong! HA HA HA.

God doesn't allow any of it we do!!!! He didn't invent murder - it was Cains choice; nor adultery - it was Davids decision. God never allowed a home to be broken - Eve did by disregarding Gods Word and listening to the Devil. Know that the "wages of sin=death", yet God gives life.

Still one may beg the question, "What about all those suffering with no food in Africa, and around the world?" The TV is full every Holiday season with commercials of pitiful children starving that rips even the coldest of souls heart out. (My opinion) Your money sent over their to feed the poor is a waste of time. Jesus said "the poor you have with you always" = never will the world be without starving people, children. The cure is Jesus alone. Put money in a trustworthy missionaries pocket and send them the gospel which is the Bread of Life. Only when they repent of sin and accept Jesus and not religion and tribal rituals will they be fed. If God can split the Red Sea (and he did), and tell the fish to get in Peters net on that side of the boat, more than he could drag in - doesn't it stand to reason he could cause enough fish to swim to their African shores and creeks to feed them all and more? Yes of course He can, and will if He alone is their God. Jeremiah said he never saw God children forsaken or His seed begging bread, meaning he will take care of them that are His own. Whenever a person comes by the church asking for grocery money or gas money rest assured they are lost. Elijah had no meat or bread and God sent a raven to feed him, and He promised to not give his children a stone that came begging bread - He will take care of you. Now if your lost it is by Gods grace your not already dead and in Hell. Sinner know he will not meet a lost mans physical needs as he does for his children, He died on Calvary to meet the spiritual need first - then he takes care of all the rest. So give them a meal - they will be hungry tomorrow, BUT give them the message of the Master and He will feed them all the days of their life. Lord give us this day our daily bread. Amen

A Subliminal Christian

I hate subliminal imaging (dRiNk pEpSi). Introduced in 1897, the concept became controversial as "subliminal messages" in 1957 when marketing practitioners claimed its potential use in persuasion (gO tO ChUrCh). Visual stimuli may be quickly flashed before an individual may process them, or flashed and then masked, (cHuRCh=Go) thereby interrupting the processing, don't you hate that?

Well truth is most Christians are subliminal in that they hide their faith and expect others to just see the quick prayer over their food that could be mistaken as a yawn, nose wipe, or a muttered word. "But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost" 2 Cor 4:3. Or some chose to live worldly and blend in, then get mad if the preacher says on Sunday to repent and live right because someone is watching your life. NEWS FLASH - if your saved you have lost people watching your life - do they see Christ crucified in you, or are you hiding it, using only subliminal imaging? On judgement day I really don't believe a good response would be "but I thought they saw the Bible in my car trunk, and knew I was a Christian"!!!!!!! So the real question is Who are you hiding the gospel from? Classmates, co-workers, children?

Save the Planet?

It has always amazed me how people get so worked up about saving the planet! I am for bamboo bowls and compose piles and think supporting local farmers is right. I like solar energy, and think (don't eat) organic food is terrific. I'm all for more efficient shower heads and clothes dryers to save me moo-la but will it matter in the end? I have not received any fines for littering so know this is not a venting, or vendetta about a ticket or the like. People argue about trash, pollution, and smog but does it matter at all. Save the planet - it is a figure of speech I guess. Go green, drive a Hybrid, burn vegetable oil not petroleum. I'm for recycling but refuse to wear Patagonia's PCR fleece vest ($70) that is made from recycled soda bottles. Oil drillers are getting their ear full these days around the gulf, and here as well. Whales, walruses, snow owls, platypuses, O' my. Know that even if we destroy the O Zone and all of that stuff the planet will still be here - it may be a cold, dead, lifeless rock the way we treat it but it will be here. We should concentrate on saving people. Thant is what God is focused on - seeking to save that which is lost. People need help - need truth, need God. I would trade all the snowy owls in the world for one soul to know Jesus as Lord and I love animals.

Just for the record this planet is going to burn up, aka, be destroyed one day anyhow. God said He was make a new Heaven and a NEW EARTH, and the old Heaven and earth will pass away.Revelations 21:1"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. "

Only those believers that Jesus died and arose from the grave will escape the real pollution- sin.

2 Peter 2:20 "they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ"

Here Peter says the earth will be destroyed in fire:

2 Peter 3:5-7 "For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men."

Get all the Hybrid cars you want, nothing but the blood of Jesus will save you from that day. I don't really care if you hug a tree, hug a bug, or hug your momma , but you had better hug on Jesus first and foremost. Love what is here now (people) and gone tomorrow! People are the only things on planet Earth that have a chance of not burning forever. Save the people not the planet, by getting them to Jesus.
