SALVATION: Playing Chess With Commandments And Traditions

... Tradition!

Tradition!?!

Tradition!

So What About Almighty God's 
Engraved-In-Stone-By-His-Own-Finger Commandments!?!

I Quote:

"Church Tradition Supercedes Almighty God's Commandments!"

You Actually Dare To Say That With A Straight Face!?!

Sure! It's The Truth!

Have You Completely Lost Your Mind!?!

Not In The Least!

I'm Just Calling It As I Currently, Plainly, See It!

Okay! Okay!

I'm Going To Bite!

Explain That ... With Little Words, If You Please!

I Am Going To Make Sure It's Simple!

I'm Going To Make It Plain!

I'm Not Going To Make It Poetic

Because

Sarcastic Is More Up My Vein!

Jesus Christ Powerfully Crushed Satan's Head

When He Died

And

Got Back Up From The Grave

So Satan "Won" The Battle

And

The War

And

The "Power" Went Straight To His Head!

Ah, Um, Let Me State The Obvious:
A Dead Head Has Neither Power Nor Life!

Keep Walking With Me

And 
We'll Both Reach The Peaceful Shore!

Jesus Christ Returned To Heaven As The Victor

So Satan ... The Adversary

The Loser

The Condemned

The Eternally Damned

In A Last-Ditch Effort

To Be In "The Winning Class"

Decided That His Loss Is A Victory

That He Is King

That He Is Savior

That He Is Boss Of Everything

And

Boldly Started His Own Competing Church

"Created Traditions"

And
Traded Light For Dark

Sweet For Sour

Good For Evil

Truth For Lies

Saints For Sinners

And

"Fixed" The Commandments

- Not The Suggestions - 

The Immutable Commandments Of The Eternal

Holy, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent
Faithful, Giving

Blessing, Forgiving, Merciful God Of Grace

To Reflect His Dead-Conscience, Irredeemable, Ways! 

Since He Can No Longer Touch Jesus Christ The Lord

He Decided To Trample On His Holy Name

The Truth

And

Besmirch His Divine Character

To Destroy His People! 

If Jesus' People Are Destroyed 
For Lack Of Jesus' Living Knowledge

Then Our Jesus Will Have No Reason To Come Back To Earth

And

Checkmate: Satan Is King!

Satan ... The Rabid Sinner
The Malevolent Spirit
The Deity Of The Damned

The Known Fraud

Is 
"The" God! 

First Order Of Business ...

He Has Big Able Plans:

Change, Change, Change! 

Rearrange! 

Elevate Self! 
Pontificate!

"Be" The Divine! 
Make People Believe That He Is Caring And Kind!

Satan Always Has Next Steps ...

Work On The Immutable!
Work On The Infallible!

The Immutable Becomes Fallible

And

The Infallible Becomes Mutable!

The Holy Becomes Profane!

The Profane Brings No Shame!

The Known Innocent Become The Now Guilty!

The Real Guilty Becomes The Deceitful Judge!

The Honest Judge Becomes The Able Sinner

And

The Publicized Sinner Is The Holy God Above! 

Diabolic ... And Effective!

Hold Your Horses!
He's Not Done Yet!

Satan Injects Man Into The Holy!

He Separates Sin From Self!

He Denies The Lord Christ His Divinity!

He Elevates Personal Proclivity
And
Stresses To All:

"Trust Me Instead Of God Almighty!"

And

Issues Commands To All That 
For Soul Salvation

To Just Pay The Standard User Fee! 

Jesus Christ Already Paid The Price For Us!

Indeed!
Furthermore, Satan Insists That 
All Do Whatever They Personally Like

Because 

Sin, Self And Satan

Make A Three-Wheel Bike

Perfectly Balanced

Sure Never To Tilt ...! 

... Until Confronted By The Rock Of Ages

Whose Blood For Sinners' Souls

On Mount Calvary Was Spilt ...! 

... Which Presents As The Insurmountable Problem

For Satan Of The Dead Head! 

He Has A Fix For That, Too
And
Here's The Not-For-Bedtime Story!

Enter The Dragon ... 

There Was Shock And Consternation
All Over The Land!

Everybody Was Stunned Out Of Their Gourd
Becausen Lambie Had Upped And Changed
His Venerable Name To ... To ...!

... Ooh! I Can't Say It! 
It's Just Too Terrible ...!

Oh, For Crying Out Loud! 
Enough With The Theatrics!

I'm Sorry ...!
... It's Just That That Was Earth Shaking News!

That's For Sure! 
It Rocked My World!

I Still Can't Believe It!

Wha' 'appen?!

Lambie Done Gone Over To The Dark Side!!

Eh, Eh?! Wha' 'e Gone En Do?!

Lambie In Beast Mode!

Lambie Done Gone And Changed His Name! 
He Is Now Officially Called Lambie DeDragon!

He Is Even Drinking Blood Wine

Out Of Babylon's Golden Flagon!

Lord, Help Us! 

First It Was The Wolf In Sheep's Clothing!

Now It's The Lamb Gone Rogue!
The Deception Is Real!

May The Lord Of Love Help Us! 

You Done Know That This Thing Is Now In Vogue! 

The Lord In Zion Reigneth
Soooo ...

Thank Jesus Christ

For The Gift Of Unfailing Good News!

Truth Cannot Die
And
The Lord God Almighty
- Mighty To Save -
Will Always Have His 7,000 Faithful
His Perfected Saints
His Remnant People In The Land
Who Will Never, Ever, Bow The Knee
- Following The Deceived Multitudes -
To Do Known Evil In The Sight Of The Holy God!

Being Faithful
We Know That We Have New Life In Christ!

Look At The Living, Preserved, Holy Word:

When We ... By Faith
Willingly Choose To Accept Jesus Christ As Savior And Lord
And
His Holy Word As Immutable And Infallible

And 

Are Eventually Converted To His Way

We Will Not See Keeping His Laws As Burdensome
- As The Liar States -
Or As A Restraint Over Our "Authentic" Behavior 
Nor Will We Ever Look At Sin Again As No Big Deal! 

Because Of Christ's Sacrifice Of Love For Us 

And 

Our Grateful Love For Him

Our Words, Thoughts, Actions

And

Inclinations 

Are Changed
Because
We ... Being Transformed Into His Likeness

Have No Wish To Crucify Him Again!

AMEN!!!

As Per The Promise
We Have New Hearts

New Sight, New Ears

New Love

New Hope ... New Life
And

Love For Our Lord Christ 
Keeps Us On The Path To Eternal Life!

That Must Give Olde Satan Gripe! 

Brethren,

Deception Is Everywhere
In Everything
And
In People Who We Would Like To Believe
We Can Trust To Have Our Best Interests At Heart!

Trust Ye In The Lord Alone!

The Cross Is Our Beacon: Look Up And Live! 

Indeed!

Blessings Innumerable Await Us

So Let's Not Let Known Fables

And

Prophesied Lost Causes Take Us In! 

Satan Can't Change The Laws Of Almighty God

And

Satan Can Never Get Back To Where We Are Headed! 

By Almighty God's Great Grace
Let's Do Away With Decimating Doubt And Disbelief

And

Discard The Diatribe Of The Salvation Thief! 

Our Jesus Saves ... Utterly

So Let's Put Our Faith Up Front

And

With Faithful Endurance
Press On ... On The Upward Way

So That That Deceiver Will Have

Our Confessed, Repented Of

And

Forgiven Sins

On His Account To Be Scape-Goat Paid! 

Soon, Soon!

Satan Is Going To Have Himself A Fiery Bath
In A Real Hot Fire And Brimstone Grave!

Players Get Paid!

JESUS CHRIST SAVES: Don't Forget The End Of The Book!

Man, He Ladder She In Curse!

You Mean He White-Wash She Good And Proper!

Well, Yes!

How Did She Respond!?!

Strange That You Ask
And
Strange Was Her Response!

With Her Back Ramrod Straight
Her Hands Resting Quietly At Her Sides
She Looked Up To Heaven ... And Smiled
And Softly Replied:

Yes, Lord!
I Love You!
I Will Not Forget The End Of The Book!

The King Is Coming

And I Intend To Be Thoroughly Washed And Departure Ready! 
And She Said,

Good Evening, All!
Blessings Be Upon You!

And She Turned And Walked Away 
With That Smile On Her Face!

You Should Have Seen Errol's Face!
You Ever Seen A White Black Man!?!

Can't Say That I Have!

Believe Me, Freddy, You Don't Want To!
Errol Looked Like He Was Ready To Dead! 

We All Thought He Was Going To Fall

And The Ambulance We'd Have To Call! 

So What Was The Final Disposition!?! 

After Errol Got Over His Shock

He Asked Us To Walk With Him

As He Followed Her To Their Home!

Wait!?! Wha' You Really Saying!?!

Errol And Evadney Are Married

But

They Were Unequally Yoked! 

She Serves The Lord

And

He Serves Himself ...! 

... Two Drinks Or More

And Then Behaves Like A Sore-Toothed Bore! 

She's Been Praying For Him For Years

And

He Knows It! 

He's Been Fighting Her For Years ...! 

... You Mean He's Been Resisting The Spirit Of Truth!

Well, Yes, But ...! 

... Oh, Lord, Spare Me From These Butting Goats! 

Look, You Two

He Can Run Only So Far From The Lord

Until He Must Make His Final Decision ...! 

... That's What He Cursed Her Out About! 

He Knows And He Recognises His Need Of The Savior

But

Satan Has His Hooks In Him Good! 

He Desires Freedom

But

He's Deathly Afraid! 

Afraid!?! Afraid Of What!?! 

He's Afraid Of Living The New Life

No More Spiritous Libation

No More Smoke-Filled Smelly Inhalation

No More Late-Night Lost-Souls Celebration

And

No More Base Word Postulations!

And, Furthermore

As He, Himself, Has Said 

He's Going To Have To Apologize

First ... To The Master

Then To His Beloved Wife 

Who Has Modeled In Her Person

The Life Of One Who Lives For Christ! 

Evadney Knows What Is Happening To Him

And

He Hears Her Petitions In His Behalf

And

He Knows He Is Going To Capitulate To The Lord Christ

Hence His Last Foray Into The Realm Not Nice! 

We Talked To Evadney ... Privately 

And 
She Told Us She Heard Him Crying And Praying

And

That Is Why She Responded As She Did:

Heaven And Hell Are Battling!

She Asked Us To Raise Him Up

To The Throne Of Grace

To Help Her Pray Him Into The Kingdom!

Alright!

I'm With You

And The Final Disposing Is In The Hands Of The Holy God! 

This Is Truly Good News

Despite His Off-Color Display! 

Indeed!

We See The Outward Appearance 

But

The Lord Of Love Sees Our ...! 

... Hurting, Longing, Struggling, Pleading Hearts!
I Pray That He Will Permit The Holy Spirit
To Safely Guide Him Into All Truth!
He Will Be Eternally Blessed!

AMEN!!!

SALVATION vs. SELF: Kings, Crowns, Kingdoms

Two Kings
Two Scepters
Two Crowns
Two Lights
Two Weights Of Glory
Two Peoples Striving In The Throng!

One Jewel-Encrusted Crown
Bears The Eternal Light
And
The Surpassing Weight Of Glory!

One Crown
Holds Finite Fame And Fortune
And
Prospers The Recipient
Because
Of A Less Than Truthful Story!

One Crown Is Offered
By That Great King!

One Crown Is Offered
By The Old Piercing Serpent
He Who Lives To Blight
And
Venomously Sting!

Most People

Want Desire Need
Fame And Fortune
So That Amongst Carnal Men
They Shall Be The Toast
Ever Willing
To Kill, Deceive
Doubt God
And
Truth Disbelieve
Instead Of
Taking The Good King's Imperishable Crown
After A Short Day Of Personal Denial
And
Physical Suffering!

Sad, So Sad!

So Sad And Yet, So True!

Instant Gratification
Profits ... In The Short Term
The Known-Carnal Crew
Who Will Deny Self To Keep A Pound
Who Will Deny Family To Keep A Penny
And
Who Will Deny The Lord Christ
Because
He Says Deny Self
And
Trust The Lord
And
Be Faithful Faithful
If
One Chooses To Receive
- In The Living God's Time -
The Crown Of Christ's Glory That
Shall Eternally Shine
In The Land Beautiful
Peaceful
Blessed
Sublime!

Would You Give Up Glory
Just To Own A Property With Brass Gates!?!

Would You Give Up Eternal Peace
Just To Imbibe A Gluttonous Feast
That Ends In Relief By A Bathroom Release!?!

Would You Choose To Dwell In Time
Just Because You Cannot
Envisage Eternity
And
Choose To Live In Bondage To Known Sin
Because
You Are Fearful Of Trusting
The Lord Who Demands The Obedience Of Faith
And
Promises Unyielding Love And Provision
And
Truly Blessed Liberty

Without The Truth Or Dare Division!?!

Brethren, Beloved

The Kings Are Jesus Christ The Righteous
And
Satan The Willing Murderer
The Known Father Of Lies!

The Kingdoms Are
Heaven With The Lord Of Life And Light
And
Hell
Where Sin, Self, Satan, Fallen Angels
And
Unrepentant Sinners
Face The Last Mile ... Alone
As They Are Burned With Unquenchable Fire
And
Utterly ... Forever ... Consumed!

If We Will Lift Up Our Eyes
Just A Wee Bit Higher
We Will Not Choose The Path Of Convenience
Which Always Leads
To The Fire And Brimstone Lake
Funeral Pyre!

Self Is A Sinner!
Satan Ain't A Saint!
Jesus Christ Delivers The Repentant Sinner
So That He Won't Suffer
Satan's Just Fate!

All Crowns Are Not Created Equal
And
Not All Kings Care For Their People!

At Last, I Get It!

You Would Do Well To Try And Keep It!

Possessions
Position
And
Pleasures
Are All Tied Up In Self!
Theirs Is A Consenting Relationship
And With Them 
Self Is Acquiring Some Heft!

You Mean He Is Getting Fat!

Well, Yes!
But I Was Being, You Know
Kinda Polite!

Waste O' Time!
He Head Swell Big!
He Pocket Bulging Large!
He Carnal House Obscene!
He Car  ... Hum
And That Thumb That He Always
Pressing Down People With
Is Seriously Enlarged!

Let's Not Forget That 
He Also Has A Real Big Mouth
And A Razor Sharp Tongue
And ...!

... No Fear Of The Living God
None For Man Like Himself
And Definitely None For The Damned Devil!

Alright, Fellas!
We Know All The Downs!
Are There Any Ups To This Disaster!

Sure!
I Could Kill Him
And The Problem Is Solved!

If You Kill Self
Where Does That Leave The Rest Of Us!?!

Brethren,
We Are Not Thinking Straight
Because
We Are Not Looking At The Big Picture!

What On Earth Do You Mean!?!

If You Kill That Sinful Self
And
Do Not Replace It With Something Good
All That You Have Left 
Is
A Shell Of A Man Available ...!

... For Satan To Have One Of His Bully Boys
To Take Over And Inhabit!

In That Case
We Are Better Off With Self!

Not Really!
Satan, Self And Sin Are A Chorus!

Alright, Alright!

Look At This:

S E L F

Spelt Backward
It Is  F L E S!

F or Fullness Of
L ife
E scape
S elf

All That Is Missing Is H!

H For Hope In Christ
H For Help From Christ

H For Healing By Christ

H For Home With Christ
H For The Indwelling Holy Spirit Of God And Christ!

H For Hallelujah!

Jesus Christ Saves From Sin
From Self
And
From Satan!

The Crux Of The Matter ...

We Have A Challenge
That States Clearly That

F or Fullness Of
L ife We Must
E scape
S elf By
H oping In Jesus Christ Who Saves!

In Short, Brethren
It Is Time Rid Self Of Self
And
Seek After Christ's Eternal Life!
We Must Give All, Everything
To The Lord Jesus Christ!

When Jesus Christ Is First
Is All
We Can Never By Self
- Into Sin -
Be Made To Fall!

Heed The Call!
Answer The Holy Spirit's Quiet Call
And
In The Appointed Time
We Shall ... In Triumph
With Jesus Christ 
The King Of The Living Kingdom
Escape The Condemned Blue Ball!

Don't Be Like 

Cain, Nimrod

Esau, Pharoah

Ahab, Jezebel, Athaliah

Judas Iscariot And King Saul!

Uncontrolled Self Will Cause You

Into Satan's Nefarious Plans

Ignominiously To Fall!

It Is Time To Turn To The Lord Christ
And
By His Holy Spirit Guiding Our Lives
Reverse The Fall!

Those Who Hope

In The Lord Jesus Christ

Will Obediently Heed

The Call To Eternal Life!

JESUS CHRIST: Savior, Surety ... And Security!

Brethren,
Almighty God's Forgiveness
Embodied
In The Gift Of Jesus Christ
To Mankind
And
Really Displayed By
The Death, Burial, Resurrection
Rising From The Dead
Return To Glory
And
The Work Of Intercession
In The Most Holy Place Of
The Heavenly Sanctuary
Reclaims Us ... From Sin!

Think About It ...

If You Consider A Land Reclamation Project
The Planned Work 
Is
Hard
Dangerous
Time Consuming
Tiring
Detailed
Lengthy
Expensive
Labor Intensive
But
Oh, So, Satisfyingly Beautiful
Useful
And
Useable!

The Developer Beholds
The New Creation
And
He Is Satisfied With The Travail Of His Soul
His Sacrifice Of Blood, Sweat And Tears!

Whoa! That Sounds Just Like Salvation
Even Unto Glorification!

The Living God 
Not Only Forgives You Of Your Sin
But
Reclaims Dead-In-Sin-And-Trespasses-You, Personally
Takes You Out Of Sin

- Removes You From Uselessness -

And
Remakes You, Personally
To Be Good
And
To Give Good Service
Specifically
To Bless The Heart Of The Great King!

The Questions That I Must Now Ask 
Are, Therefore, Starkly Plain:

Who Is Jesus Christ, Personally, To You!?!
What Is Jesus Christ, Personally, To You!?!

The Answers Were Given ... Rapidly

Surety!
Lord!
Security!
God!
Substitute!
Hope!
Savior!
Help!
Redeemer!

For What Reason
Do You Take Hold On Jesus Christ!?!

Love!
Truth!
Blessings!
Free Grace!
Faith!
Life!
Forgiveness!
Salvation!
Available Mercy!
True Light!
He's The Living Word Of God!

Can You Explain Your Jesus!

My Life!
My Haven Of Rest!
My Righteousness!
The Anchor For My Soul!
My Joy!
My Forever Friend!
The Lover Of My Soul!
The Fire That Warms My Soul!
In Jesus Is My Hope!
Jesus Is My All!

Do You Believe The Word Which Says That
You Are A New Creation That
The Lord Made Again His Soul To Delight 

And
Blesses You With Purpose
Rendering You A Pleasing Sight
And 
Not A Damnable Blight
To Be Cast Out Into The Darkest Night!?!

I Believe And Thank God For Grace
I'm Alive To Say So!

Remember ...

It Is Impossible To Please God
Without Our Having Holy Faith!

Remember Also That
Our Being Reclaimed From Sin
Is Not 
A New License
To Go And Sin ... Again!

Take Heed ...

Reclaimed Land
Left To Its Own Devices
Will Revert To Its Old Way
And, Likewise
A Reclaimed Sinner
Left To His Own Devices
Will Willingly Sin And Become As One Profane!

Isn't That Why It Is Said
That Every Christian Has A Work To Do For Jesus!?!

Indeed!

Are You Living Up To Salvation
Or
Are You Looking Down At Your Sin!?!
Are You To Jesus Christ Walking
Or
Are You Still With The Stalking Devil Playing!?!

Sin Is A Runaway Bus With Wings
And A Jet Engine ... !

... An Accident Waiting To Happen!

Jesus Christ
In The Life Of A Repentant Sinner
Is 
Like A Nuclear Reaction!
Let Him Have His Way
And

Your Life
- Your New Life -
Will Exponentially Take Off!

Brethren,
I Beseech You
To Lift Up Jesus Christ's Cross
Accept The Sacrifice
Accept The Gift Of Salvation
Take The Hand Extended To You In Love
And
Live For The Glorious King
And
You Will Truly Be The Sinner ... Saved
And Not 
The Sinner ... Lost!

We Have Free Will!
We Have Free Choice!
We Have Options!
Choose You, Today
Whom You Will Serve
But
As For Me
I Will Serve The Lord!

Jesus Saves!!

Heaven Awaits The Faithful!

My Heart Belongs To The King!

I Walk With God!

The Savior Pilots Me!

Brethren,
My Final Word To You
Is
Be Faithful Until Death
And
You Shall Wear The Crown That
Bespeaks Eternal Life!
Peace Be Unto You!

AMEN!!
