WHY I AM

A CHRISTIAN

*Our mission is to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ absolutely free. We do not want donation. We only want you to know the truth.

*THE U.S.A. MANIFESTO

*Why I believe America cannot be saved:

1. Whereas American government is systematically and structurally corrupt, it is impossible to change or reform America.

2. Trillions of dollars are involved by vested interests who are self-serving and seek to preserve America status quo.

3. There is not one strong righteous leader backed up by righteous citizens. The sign of the times is that a convicted crook and criminal wants to be the American leader.

4. The once big and dependable organizations have now become centers of falsehood. The American TV, movies, guns, games and toys companies can only produce products of evil because violence and vulgarity make BIG money.

5. As God is my witness, I stand alone; but I have done my duty to warn the American people and I have done what I have done.

The true madness is the Ukraine war supported by US, EU, and NATO, it should be ended at once unconditionally.

Netanyahu has no need to run; in fact he will go down in the history of Israel and

earn him a firm place in the pantheon of Jewish legends.

When Hamas governed Gaza and West Bank, Palestinians had refugee camps, shortages of many kinds; but they did not scream for aid. When Hamas suddenly attacked Israel with rockets and missiles, killed 1,400 Israelis and took hundreds of hostages, Palestinians did not shout for peace. Now Hamas are on the brink of annihilation, Palestinians yelled for ceasefire and peace and cried out for International aid. What a perverse generation!!! Palestinians are Arabs, why don’t Arab countries take in Arabs -- something seems strange???

Strangest thing: UN, WHO, EU, NATO, ARAB-ISLAMIC nations all work for the terrorists Hamas -- the historical greatest distortion.

Hamas and Palestinians do not have homeland in Israel. The sooner they realize it the better. Who is stopping Palestinians to establish a Palestinian state in an Arab land? Arabs go to Arab’s land is most reasonable.

It is Hamas and Hezbollah who have to escape. Hamas thought a surprised attack and took more than 140 hostages would be a military advantage. Little they realized the collateral damages become unbearable. Hamas are cowards who hide themselves in hospitals and schools, they were found out and targeted.

The whole world believes in a lie. Famous organizations who do not like your message call you a robot. Palestinians are very STRANGE people, when Gaza was governed by Hamas, how come there were Palestinian refugee camps in Gaza? When they are in shortage of food, water, gasoline, electricity, medicine, etc. -- they are shameless and demand the international community to give aid. There are no shortages in America, but Americans pay a high price. Have you not heard that some senior Americans ruminate whether they should take a meal or take a pill ($25 each). If they take the medicine, they have no money to take a meal. If they eat, they cannot afford to have the medicine. Some American seniors died in winter cold even though they had a heater they could not use because of the high cost of power. Some senors died in the summer because they could not afford to use the air conditioning. Some shameless peoples in the world however think they are entitled to have everything free. If they have natural or man-made disasters, they think they deserve to receive international aid somehow. Do you want to be an emperor if you have lots of money? You can be an emperor of those useless, insolvent, unproductive, unmotivated and good for nothing nations!!!

Two-state solution will work if Palestinians establish a Palestinian state in an Arab land. It will not work if they establish a Palestinian state in the Jewish land. Isn’t is STRANGE that UN, EU, all Arab and Muslim states support the terrorists Hamas to rule in a Palestinian state? The world believes in a lie. Arab-Muslim nations rally in support of Palestinians. Strangest indeed, none welcomes to take in Palestinians. The British Empire (United Kingdom) must come out to tell the truth: Palestinians and Hamas were Arabs who illegally occupied the Jewish land. Israel needs a big map that describes what God gave the Promised Land to Abraham and his descendants some 4,000 years ago. It is a new thing under the sun that UN, WHO, and terrorists are in bed and they speak in a new tongue of humanitarian?! Terrorists become humanitarians?!

No one asks the real question? Where do Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists get their rockets, missiles, and weapons from? Since when terrorists stop killing the people? To give humanitarian aid to Palestinians is to support the terrorists. Palestinians (Arabs) must evacuate from Gaza, West Bank, etc. from Israel. Arab nations must accept Palestinians (Arabs) from the Jewish land. Palestinians (Arabs) must establish a Palestinian state in an Arab land. Israel must destroy Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists once and for all. Then conflict and crisis are ended.

Palestinians (Arabs) are displaced in Israel. Palestinians are free to go. Those who did not evacuate died in vain. Arab nations are hypocrites, not one welcomes to take in Palestinians (Arabs). Arab nations are actually causing humanitarian crisis. To demand Gaza Ceasefire is to help Hams terrorists. GAZA CRISIS was created by terrorists Hamas. Lebanon shall be destroyed for harboring terrorists Hezbollah. UN and WTO protect terrorists in the name of schools and hospitals, those died in vain. Only Egypt accepts a few Palestinians, no Arab nation is willing to taken in Gaza Palestinians (Arabs). It is high time for the British government to tell the truth to Palestinians (Arabs, Hamas) that they have no right to stay in the Jewish land. Palestinians are free to go to the Arab lands, the sooner the better.

I was willing to waste my time and effort to make a comprehensive plan to change and save America because I am an American citizen. I am not willing to waste my time and effort on United Nations because it is nothing to me. I wrote some good suggestion for China because China is the land of my ancestors. I have a few point to warn the world. 1). UN chief and some high-paid officials are good for nothing, they must be replaced. 2). UN, WHO and ICC are protecting the terrorists. 3). UN must move out of New York. 4). UN needs a new charter and requires all member states to have a NEW CONSTITUTION. The New Constitution must stipulate the majority of citizens (51%) can change government, remove any elected or appointed official instantly, and power to change government and decide any issue through the National Referendum.

What AFRICA needs most is SELF-SUFFICIENCY in everything; not useless general elections, not modernization, not deluded democracy, not new corruption replacing old corruption, not fat people who sing and dance and drink beer and produce children they cannot support, not foreign aid of any kind to deal with natural disasters and man-made disasters. African nations and citizens need a NEW CONSTITUTION with majority (51%) through National Referendum to instantly remove unwanted leaders or politicians, to execute the junta of any military coups d'etat for any reason, and to change government or direction. Nations and peoples who habitually are corrupt, unmotivated, unproductive, with abilities to eat and drink beer, to sing and dance, to have sex and produce children they cannot support; unable to solve their own problems and perennial in shortages of money and basic necessities; -- who have no reason to exist should not receive any humanitarian aid.

Let us be straight. Although I am a Chinese descent, I am an American citizen; I neither work for nor speak for America or China. I speak for myself. What I am doing will not win friends and influence people. Telling the truth always offends people, like dropping a bomb. Why Africa is constantly in turmoil, civil war or war with neighbors, corruption, destructive and unproductive behavior? Whether natural or man-made disasters, Africa always suffers shortages of basic necessities, shortages of money. I know white racism is bad. Do you think for 500 years white colonialists gave up Africa for nothing? Why there are no black leaders and peoples to stand up for Africa? Some black athletes are so proud that they could run faster and jump farther and higher; but they do not contribute one penny GDP to their respective countries. Why the black race is the most useless race in the world? Those tourists who visited Africa in spite of high risks are very stupid indeed. I believe only Protestant Ethic can save Africa. Black leaders and peoples have to embrace Protestant Ethic to save themselves. You do not need to be a Protestant to practice Protestant Ethic. Years ago America was built great by Protestant Ethics. Protestant nations are corrupted now. You do not know Protestant Ethic? Ask and learn from China who is not a Protestant country. Whether black leaders and peoples will have self-respect, self-dignity, hard work, thrift and self-discipline only history will tell. In all sports (whether Basket ball, Foot ball, Soccer, etc. It is wrong and unfair for Black Athletes to join White (European) or Chinese or Asian teams or groups. Black Athletes should join only Black teams or represent Africa. HAVE you ever thought why most of the illegal migrants are Black? Contrary to common belief, unlawful and illegal migrants do not have human rights. For that reason Pakistan in one day deported 1.2 million illegal Afghan migrants. Jus as your neighbors cannot enjoy sex and produce a bunch of children they do not support and force you to support them. There is nothing wrong with Texas anti-immigration law. Mexico has been the conduit for unlawful migrants for many years. When illegal and unlawful migrants force themselves in, American government has every right to use military force to expel them and expel them for good. No humanitarian aid may be given to unworthy crooks and criminals.

It is hoped American and European (Western) leaders and politicians realize and repent that imperialism, supremacism, American phony democracy, capitalism and hegemony is wrong. All the world ideology is wrong!!! Only Christ can save.

Palestinians in Gaza died because they refused to evacuate. After Israel made repeated and urgent orders for Gaza to evacuate. Hamas uses Palestinian children for protection. UN and WHO use schools and hospitals to protect terrorists. Only Egypt has taken less than 100 injured Palestinians. Not one Arab nation demonstrates its sincerity to take in Palestinians (Arabs) from Gaza. As Israel forces advance on grounds, Hamas buried tons of explosives and bombs in Gaza. The world must help Israel to eliminate the wicked Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists once and for all. America must destroy any nation that attacks Israel, including Iran.

The UN is a useless organization. What it should do, it does not. What it should not do, it does. In truth, Palestinians have no “legitimate right” in the Promised land. God gave the Promised Land to Abraham and his descendants some 4,000 years ago. During the British colonial rule, Palestinians and Hamas were Arabs who surreptitiously moved into the Promised Land (so-called Palestine) unlawfully. Hamas dared to make first the barbaric attack of Israel. Hamas made the first barbaric attack, killed more than 1,400 Jews, took more than 230 hostages, illegally occupied the Jewish land -- are these not war crimes? Hamas ans Hezbollah are known terrorists. UN is using all its resources to help the terrorists. They and Arab nations want to cease fire now, because they are afraid with one stroke Israel can wipe out Hamas and Hezbollah and illegal occupants. Whatever strategy Israel uses to destroy Hamas and Hezbollah and expel illegal Palestinians effectively is a good strategy. Peoples of Arab and Muslim nations protest for Palestinians, yet no Arab or Muslim nation wants to welcome or take in any Palestinians. Iran is warned not to participate in the war, lest it be totally ANNILATED. Israel has no option but to destroy Hamas and Hezbollah and expel all Palestinians from the Jewish Land. The territories occupied by Palestinians and Hamas are the Jewish land. There is no Palestinian land in the Jewish land. It is high time that Israel gets rid of all Palestinians, Hamas, Arabs from the Jewish land. No aid should be given to Palestine or Palestinians. The “legitimate aspirations” of Palestinians are to get out the Jewish Land at once to establish a Palestinian state in Arab land or there will be conflict and no peace. Syria is not wise to provide weapons to Hamas. Israel is surrounded by enemies. A stupid question: Where do Palestinians go? Palestinians are Arabs, Arabs go to the lands of Arabs. After all have been said, it is awakening and eye-opening: Arab countries do not want Palestinian Arabs. Their doors are closed. All Arab nations and peoples in protests support the Palestinians; but most strangely no Arab nation would indeed welcome or take in Palestinians (Arabs). Why should there be any reason for Israel to let Palestinians (Arabs) and Hamas live in the Jewish land? Arab nations and peoples who protest for Palestinians should indeed take Palestinians in. Palestinians may go to the Red Sea. Watch will their god open the Red Sea so that Palestinians may walk through dry land?

UN and WHO use all their resources to support and aid terrorists. And yet not one ARAB nation welcomes the illegal occupants of Palestinians in the Jewish land. UN and Arab nations do not demand Hamas to immediately release more than 230 Israel hostages. Hamas does not evacuate children since Israel made repeated urgent orders. Because Hamas are using Palestinian children for their protection. The bloods of Palestinian children killed are on Hamas and Arab nations. UN and WHO use schools and hospitals to protect the terrorists. What is needed is NOT more aid trucks to Gaza but massive evacuations of illegal Palestinians into Arab nations. There are no Palestine refugees, there are only illegal Palestine migrant occupations of Jewish land. UN and Arab nations do not condemn Hamas and Hezbollah for attacks of Israel with full force of rockets and missiles, killing 1,400 Israeli, taken more than 230 hostages. Europeans and Arab nations have massive protests for Palestinians. I have seen the ugly faces of many races and nations. I have lost faith in UNITED NATIONS. I have reached the conclusion: there is no hope for the world, “without God, without hope.”

The only thing that the US does right is to support Israel to eliminate Hamas and Hezbollah, and expel all Palestinians and Arabs from the Jewish land once and for all. The war will be ended when the enemies of Israel Hamas and Hezbollah are destroyed and all Palestinians are expelled from the Jewish Land. If there is any Arab joint action to help Hamas and Hezbollah by attacking Israel, America should destroy those Arab nations with full force. Israel appears to be alone, but God will fight for Israel. Israel will be victorious to destroy Hamas and Hezbollah and expel illegal occupant Palestinians from Israel, and the children of the evil prophet will go to Hell.

No true Christians can enjoy seeing a fake courtroom sketch of Jesus by Trump’s side. Donald Trump is not a Christian, much less like Jesus, more like a son of the devil. Jesus says, Jhn 8:44, “You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.” It is not known that during his presidency did he order killing in American foreign wars covert and overt. Courts are charging him of frauds and lies. Clearly, Donald Trump is a liar, there is no truth in him. He is the most disgraced leader, demagogue and shameless character in American history, unfit and unworthy to run as a presidential candidate of any party. Jesus also says, Mat 7:20, “So then, you will know them by their fruits.” Jhn 10:27, “My sheep listen to My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”

A so-called Christian organization is quoting the American military, “The head of the U.S. Strategic Command has said the aggressive actions from the US rivals of China and Russia are creating the “real possibility” of nuclear war.” AS A REASON THAT PEOPLE SHOULD GIVE MONEY TO THEM. “The prophecy has come true, the perilous times are here. The need is greater than ever before. If each of our viewers would give a donation, no matter the amount, you will help ensure the signs of Biblical prophecy continue to be shared here with the world. Please Give Here any amount, no matter the size, to help us continue sharing more signs of Biblical prophecy. ” The Bible prophesy will come true and we do not need to ensure the signs of Biblical prophecy continue. The dichotomy THAT the US is the good guy and Russia and China are bad guys -- is complete false and un-Biblical. It is the aggression and world domination of the West that cause the peril and threat to the world today, as evident in the Ukraine war that many Europeans oppose their governments to follow America. America is not a Christian nation and it is not on the side of Jesus Christ -- the West is the agent of the devil creating the possibility of a nuclear war that will destroy the whole world. Western leaders and politicians are blind and fools who believe they can win in a nuclear war.

Western media is not only fraudulent but most malicious and fictitious and WICKED, they are in concert declare: Who killed the Chinese economy? With two insidious and treacherous objectives: one is to create internal conflict in China to blame someone; two is a desperate distortion of fact. This Western media dare not say anything about American and European economy; Why? They are afraid of self-fulfilled prophesy. Mark Twain had an answer for them, “The reports of the death of China’s economy are greatly and grossly exaggerated.” China has the best and greatest economy in the world. It is hoped my suggestions as follows are noticed. Some Western media poisons the well by fraudulently declaring the end of China’s economic miracle. It unwittingly admits China’s economy is a miracle. If you have a perspective of China from 1985 to the present of 2023, you know for sure the spectacular successes of China in every field is truly a miracle. China’s economy will continue to boom endlessly and indefinitely for the following reasons: 1. China cracks down on corruption more effectively. 2. China continues to build on productive infrastructures. 3. China continues to increase solar and wind energy. 4. China eradicates frauds and crimes by law. 5. China streamlines central and local governments. 6. China uses budget and debt wisely and sparingly. 7. China produces desirable foreign investment environment. 8. China encourages and promotes big city night markets. 9. China facilitates and encourages internal tourism. 10. China increases growth and productivity of rural areas. 11. China solicits public opinion and maintain high approval. 12. China continues multilateralism and opposes hegemony.

ACCORDING TO Elizabeth Gulino, “According to a 2007 story in The Atlantic, Cullen Murphy, author of Are We Rome? The Fall of an Empire and the Fate of America, says there are six areas that create a compelling argument that ancient Rome and the U.S. are alike: “an exaggerated sense of self importance coupled with a myopic view of the world; a military overstretched and alienated from civilian society; an imprudent rush toward the privatization of public services; a mounting struggle to police borders; and, finally, the inherent impossibility of managing an environment of such burgeoning complexity.”

I see two most fatal areas: An exaggerated sense of self importance as an empire coupled with a deadly wrong myopic view of the world; an aggressive military overstretched and bent on world domination… American leaders and politicians are leading America to commit suicide. To save America, a NEW CONSTITUTION is needed for change.

Illegal migrants crisis exist because the UN and world leaders mismanage. The measures to solve the crisis are the following:

1). The UN must require all member states to have a New Constitution.

2). The New Constitution must stipulate the majority of citizens (51%) have the power and right to remove instantly any elected or appointed official without impeachment, change the government, change national policy, change the way of government, etc. through national referendum.

3). All military coups d'état are unlawful for whatever reason, participating generals or junta shall be executed without appeal.

4). All civil wars and war with neighbors, armed conflicts, gangs and riots, terrorists, violence and corruption are unlawful, the responsible parties shall be executed without appeal.

5). Any nation who created self-destructive problems will receive no international aid or intervention. There will be no peace-keeping troops.

6). All unlawful migrants are not true refugees, but economic and fortune seekers, public enemies who are useless for self-support, fancy themselves to enter rich nations and live on welfare for the rest of their lives.

7). All nations must declare whether they accept or reject illegal migrants and political asylums.

8). The majority of Americans reject illegal migrants, demand to deport 45 million illegal aliens already residing in America, and reject so-call asylum seekers. No humanitarian aid will be given to illegal migrants. They will be forced to return where they come from.

9). America builds walls, fences, wires, etc. to deter illegal migrants and attacks Mexico who serves as a conduit for illegal migrants.

10). Any forced entry to America by illegal migrants will be expelled by military force, the borders will be secured by the military to prevent illegal entry. Only American citizens may apply for welfare and it requires work. No single or unmarried woman may produce many children without husbands and receive welfare benefits. Any man who gets a woman pregnant shall be responsible financially and socially for woman and child.

Global hunger exists mostly because many useless nations do not produce, but they are able to engage in national conflict, corruption, civil wars, war with neighbor (s), military coups d'etat , destructive behavior. Nations like Sudan have no reasons to exist. The UN mismanages. China should not waste its hard-earned resources. The international community should not give aid to violent and worthless nations.

According to https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/blind-see-kill-u-s-pacific-commanders-grand-networking-plan-to-take-on-china?utm_term=The%20War%20Zone_Wire_08.31.23&utm_campaign=The%20War%20Zone_Dedicated/Sales&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email

“Admiral John Aquilino, commander of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM), offered remarkably detailed comments on what he sees as critical future capabilities needed to fight and win a high-end conflict in his vast area of responsibility — namely against China.”

Historically, America has wronged China many times. Not once has China wronged America. The American leadership and its military have conspired to destroy China anyway without cause. America has prepared QUAD and AUKUS to do the job. American leaders and politicians have determined to do EVIL despite against the wishes and will of the people. America does not have a Constitution that stipulates the national sovereignty lies in the hands of majority citizens. Majority of citizens are powerless to remove unwanted leaders and change the government. Be alert, the DOOMSDAY Clock has struck! Nuclear exchange will SOON wipe out humanity and Jesus Christ is coming to judge and rule.

Japan has willfully begun the third release of nuclear contaminated waters into the Pacific because there are not enough good nations to rise up and retaliate and sanction against the evil empire of Japan. Japan has willfully done the great evil and harm, no longer persuasion; Japanese arrogance calls for retaliation and retribution. August 24, 2023 was the day of infamy because Japanese government, in spite of strong internal and external oppositions, on purpose most outrageously, irreversibly, and irresponsibly dumped nuclear contaminated waters into the Pacific to harm the world. The war crime nation never fulfills its unconditionally surrendered obligations or abides by International Law. Japan does the easy evil way because it costs them nothing. I salute Hong Kong and Macao and nations to boldly boycott imported food from Japan. All decent nations must rise up to sanction against Japan in food ban.

A man who has been charged, indicted, arrested, mug shot taken, on high bail is a crook and criminal and not a Christian, forever unfit and unqualified to be a presidential candidate of any party but locked up or exiled for good. America is doomed by the world forces of spiritual darkness because of unwise Americans who support diabolical Donald Trump to make himself great by destroying America!!!

China is right and smart to diversify its portfolio by adding more gold reserves. Even EURO is not good. However, the gold must be stored at home safer than Fort Knox.

According to https://research.stlouisfed.org/publications/page1-econ/2.019/11/01/making-sense-of-the-national-debt “Governments (and their economies) do not retire, and governments do not die (or don't intend to).”

I hold if America continues financing high deficits and debts, and foreign wars BY printing money, America is committing suicide intending or not. The day of reckoning is near.

QUAD (USA,Japan,Australia,India) and AUKUS (Australia, U.K. and U.S.) cohabit and conspire to target China. China does not have quarrel with India. China-India border conflict was a result of the British empire made the Indian map bigger by misappropriated and illegally incorporated large Chinese territories into the Indian map. The fraudulent British officials deliberately fail to tell the truth to the Indian government. Since QUAD & AUKUS are incompatible with BRICKS. India for ulterior motive has violated BRICKS, it should withdraw or be expelled. Indonesia is fit to replace India in BRICKS perfect.

There are many poor and backward nations in the world like leeches who suck the blood of China. I cannot list those nations who have no reason to exist, lest I will be the target. If this bloodsucking activity is not stopped, China will be sucked dry and poor again. China must not set a bad precedent in giving loan to any nation. A nation does not enough money should not start a project. A nation can go to IMF, World Bank, and Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) for a loan, or a nation can sell its assets to pay for projects.

American rising debt is not only a measure of Washington’s profligacy which has nothing to do with income distortion, it is completely due to the evil national policy of American imperialism and world domination -- I always hold this leads to American suicide. There is no confused thinking. China should never follow America in rising debt and deficits.

War in Ukraine: Lives and livelihoods, lost and disrupted. No one to blame except the stupid Ukrainians themselves and its nincompoop leader who is obedient running dog of the West and wants to prolong the proxy war indefinitely with billions of dollars, cluster bombs and F-16.

Does the West have the right to continue practicing hegemony and domination of the world? To threaten and sanction any nation as enemy or threat without reason? Why do Western leaders and politicians continue to abuse and oppress other nations? Unless the Western bloc comes to its senses, nuclear war is inevitable. It is urgent, long-overdue need for the West to repent and do things differently and do what is right.

If Russia is being attacked, why cannot Russia use the first strike? The world order established by the West is so unjust and unworkable. It is wise to accept the new reality.

It is vital for China to provide free prenatal care, free delivery of baby (including hospitalization), free one-year nursing supply of baby formula and baby diaper to increase birth rate. 1,500 is deductible from income tax per family per child. The mother has the right to be off from work for 3 months with pay and job guaranteed when return to work. China needs to cut foreign aid in order to aid China’s poor first.

Since Ukraine has admitted the terrorist acts of blasting substantial damages to Crimean Bridge, ICC must issue a warrant to arrest the nincompoop of Ukraine and execute him to stop the war. The UN must identify the terrorists who blew up Nord Stream pipelines and execute them without further delay.

The UN must condemn any nation that uses cluster ammunitions or bombs in Ukraine or anywhere.

BRICKS was established to weaken

American hegemony and circumvent the Western domination. India would be in conflict of interest to be used by America in QUAD. BRICKS would be a mistake in developing a new global currency. The strong and reliable Chinese yuan () can compete or even displace the US dollar. Each member state should strengthen its finance and economy. France and more than 100 nations should be welcome to join BRICKS at once.

Under US protection, the war crime nation Japan has never fulfilled its agreement as an unconditional surrended nation. Japan has never paid one penny for killing 35 million Chinese, making millions of slave workers, and hundred thousands of sex slaves which Japanese military conveniently called “comfort women.” The US has re-militarized Japan as its running dog in Asia; now it boldly violates international law by deliberately dumping nuclear contaminated waste water into the Pacific to harm the whole world, in spite of being opposed strongly by overwhelming majority of Japanese citizens, opposed by its neighbors and island nations. Among other measures, the international community must rise up to ban and boycott the imported food and goods from Japan.

Ukraine is an evil the world must get rid of promptly: The Ukrainian nincompoop must be executed at once as a war criminal; knowingly or unknowingly, Putin has fallen into the Western trap. Led by US, EU, NATO, etc. blindly promote and prolong the most meaningless war.

Russia needs to declare a clear policy: Whenever and wherever Russia is being attacked by NATO, with absolute certainty Russia will respond with nuclear weapons.

Ukraine will collapse in one day if US, Canada, EU, G-7, NATO, UK, etc. stop giving financial and military aid, and the Ukrainian war criminal is executed at once. The war will end and there will be peace.

Most Americans do not understand the consequences of US Debt Limit. American leaders and politicians of both parties have mismanaged the country with negligence and neglect. Even with the highest debt, they sent billions and billions of borrowed money and weapons to corrupt Ukraine to prolong the war. By spending spree they commit America to suicide. Reform will not save America, America needs Revolution as suggested by founding fathers. America needs to ditch phony democracy by a New Constitution that stipulates national sovereignty lies in the hands of American citizens. With a majority (51%) of American citizens through a National Referendum, Americans have power to remove instantly any elected or appointed official without impeachment to change the government.

Jesus Christ is coming again!

The world must finally wake up to the dark evil forces and face an aggressive, belligerent, irrational, hegemonic and bad-faith superpower who seeks its monopoly on global power and is the greatest source of instability, chaos, inflation, injustice, trouble and conflict in the world -- which is seeking to contain Russia and China, and strategically crush them at all costs. The West has wronged China since the infamous Opium Wars to the present. Not only there will be no peace, these hostile activities and militant mind-set will inevitably leads to a coming nuclear war to destroy the whole world.

China has never invaded any country, or imposed sanctions that have devastated the lives of millions in poor countries including Cuba, Syria, etc, unlike the West, led by the United States out of irrational fear to sanction Russia and China without cause. From the “yellow peril” of the late 1800s and from the infamous Opium Wars to the present, Western nations are blatant and wicked racists that wronged China and the Chinese too many times. They have the gall to claim and pretend to be Christians. Let all followers of Jesus Christ see the Western demons disguised as angels of light, the apparent evil that brings about unjust wars and evil deeds. You know why? The West wants continuously to rule and dominate the world, Russia and China stand in the way.

According to https://unherd.com/thepost/who-really-blew-up-the-nord-stream-2-pipeline/

“Suspicions about the US were first raised when former Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski tweeted a message of thanks to the USA following the attack, which he later deleted. Viral clips of Joe Biden two weeks before the invasion then circulated, in which the President said: “If Russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the border of Ukraine again, there will no longer be a Nord Stream 2.”

Although most mainstream publications kept their powder dry about who the guilty party was, other independent journalists decided to take the plunge. Last week, a Substack article by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh, entitled ‘How America took out the Nord Stream Pipeline’ was published, in which Hersh alleged — based on a single, unnamed source — that it was US Navy divers who, using a NATO military exercise as a cover, planted mines along the Nord Stream 2 pipelines that were later detonated remotely. These allegations were strenuously denied by the White House.

This is the most detailed account yet of America’s supposed involvement, but Hersh is not the first to make such claims. Indeed, shortly after the explosion it was another public figure, Jeffrey Sachs, who was leading the charge, claiming that America was the guilty party. Sachs is a world-renowned economist, professor of Public Policy at Columbia University and former Special Advisor to the UN Secretary General. He joined Freddie Sayers to discuss why he believed that the big mystery as to who was behind the attack was no mystery at all:

This was not an easy operation to carry out. It’s the kind of operation that the CIA and other covert parts of the US government do carry out rather routinely, by the way[…] the United States was basically the only country with the motive, the means.

- JEFFREY SACHS

America’s history of interference abroad is well-documented, but did other countries not have a motive too? Other likely suspects could feasibly include Ukraine, but also Russia itself — chaotic, irrational behaviour is not an uncommon characteristic of Putin’s Russia. Besides, was it not a slight stretch of the imagination to claim that the US would order the destruction of a piece of public infrastructure that partly belongs to a NATO ally?

Sachs dismissed these questions as as “absurd” and declared that those who didn’t believe America would act against allies in pursuit of its own interests “don’t really know the US.” He believes that decades of antagonistic relations with Russia culminated in the Nord Stream attack, which American foreign policymakers have long viewed as a threat.

According to Sachs, the America neoconservative view of Russia and the war has now become mainstream. Where Europe’s acquisition of cheap Russian gas was once viewed as ‘trade’, it is now seen as a dependency. That said, the small detail of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine may have played a part in that.”

The only way to have WORLD PEACE is to abolish NATO, G-7 and EU; abandon American imperialism, capitalism, hegemony,warmongering and sanctions; and leave corrupt Ukraine desolate and unsupported economically, financially and militarily. The Ukraine war criminal eyes victory is an illusion and delusion; the reality is Ukraine destroyed and desolate.

The Philippines has taken the WRONG side of America, China must act accordingly. AID to such a useless nation would be a big WASTE!!!

Xinjiang is beyond the reach of Western powers because its people are happy and harmonious, fully employed and patriotic. America would do well in copying China to practice “cultural genocide” on homegrown Islamic terrorists, gun crooks and criminals, police brutality and useless welfare recipients into productive residents.

Most scientists believe the Doomsday is close, the Bible teaches the end of the world is near. The Ukraine nincompoop and puppet is so puffed up that he rejected peace talk and he does not want peace since he has got so much money, arms, weapons, tanks and jet fighters.

What the Ukrainian nincompoop and puppet needs are not tanks, but the greatest TERROR the West can give to Ukraine is NOTHING: NO ARMS, NO MONEY, NO WEAPONS. Then the war will be over, and there will be peace in the world; as well as a footnote in history: Ukraine “a heap of ruins” vanishes from the world in the 21^st century.

The UN Security Council is barking at the wrong tree. There are people who do not want to know the truth, they believe in a lie. Gaza, West Bank, Holy Mount all belong to the Jewish land. Palestinians, Arabs and Hamas do not legally or historically have any claim to the Jewish land, no part or portion whatsoever. There is no place for Islamic mosque in Jerusalem, it must be moved or be removed. The only way to peace is for the Palestinians, Arabs and Hamas to get out of the Promised Land as soon as possible. Palestinian can and must establish a Palestinian state in any Arab land, but never in the Jewish land.
Putin orders ceasefire, but the nincompoop of Ukraine rejects it. The Western puppet wants money and weapons to continue the war. As long as US, UK, EU, NATO, FRANCE, G-7, GERMANY, ETC. give money and weapons to Ukraine, there will be no peace. The Ukrainian nincompoop and puppet only wants money and weapons, he does not care a bit about the unnecessary deaths of his people and devastation of his country. Western leaders and politicians are not very smart for knowing the war causes global inflation, high costs of living, energy crisis and hardship which benefits America only, and yet they follow America like sheep to be slaughtered. Putin may destroy Ukraine and leave Ukraine desolate.

Some Chinese overseas including Hong Kong in whatever capacity often serve foreign powers as stooges and stool pigeons in making irresponsible statements for their propaganda. For example, they make dire prediction that a million deaths by 2023 in China’s rural areas. American mass media deliberately overlooked the fact that more than a million Americans have ALREADY died in America IN SPITE OF the best medical facilities, drugs, vaccinations, supplies and specialists without mercy. Fireworks and parties do not scare away the virus. The West has bad word and foul mouth no matter what China does. When will Western leaders and politicians take a good look at the mirror? What has America prepared but attacking other countries? Since when America has prepared to test and treat its citizens of 100 millions who are infected? According to US hits more than 100M COVID-19 cases. Experts say this is likely an undercount - ABC News (go.com)

“US hits more than 100M COVID-19 cases. Experts say this is likely an undercount

The U.S. is the first country to record 100 million COVID-19 cases, data shows.

I urgently need an unconditionally free website so that I can proclaim the truth without fear and preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ absolutely free. If you are able and willing to provide such free website, please contact wongwilliehc@tutamail.com

I THANK YOU IN THE NAME OF THE LORD.

Beijing does not and never poses threat to global order. US is employing all means possible to do harm to China. It is US, EU and NATO which pose the greatest threat to world peace and security by seeking absolute military superiority in order to dominate the world. The international community should not fund or help Ukraine to reconstruct.

Ukraine war is one of many examples which creates inflation, high cost of living, energy crisis which increase the population of the poor, hardship and unnecessary deaths. The Western mass media is spewing out trillion tons of black lies and falsehoods deliberately to fool the world.

US already has Nuclear Warheads, Over 3,750 which can destroy the world over and over. Pentagon is not interested in $21 trillion it cannot be accounted for. Pentagon is worried that China could have 1,500 nuclear warheads by 2035. The only reason Pentagon does not start a nuclear war is the assured response of Russia. To maintain world peace, it is wise for Russia and China to stand together. America ceases not to seek absolute military superiority. American strategists believe they would win a nuclear war. Sooner or later a nuclear war will break out, that spells the destruction of the whole world. Are you ready for the imminent second coming of Jesus Christ?

The wicked get worse and worse, more and more outrageous. A group of so-called scientists sell eternal life, you have to subscribe. This is a fraud. No scientists ever lived past 110 years. No matter how mega rich you are, Jesus says you will die in your sins. No matter how poor you are, Jhn 3:36, “The one who believes in the Son has eternal life; but the one who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”

Many American citizens do not know the truth. Pelosi does not step down, she is involuntarily ousted. Her illegal trip to Taiwan did do her in. The majority of Americans voted against her and so she loses her position AND power in the House.

As usual, GRNERAL elections give the world a doped appearance of “American democracy” and American voters a false sense of security because “I VOTED.” Trump is a disgraced leader and a non-Christian. Both leaders are major causes of American decline. It makes the 1% rulers of America richer and more powerful. What America really needs is an election to vote to change the Constitution to stipulate the national sovereignty lies in the hands of American citizens. With a majority (51%) American citizens through National Referendum can remove the bad and wrong leader instantly, and stops the wrong national policy of wasting trillions of dollars in all foreign military adventures and abandons support to Ukraine war immediately. The two American parties have betrayed America. America needs leaders and politicians who can solve inflation, high cost of living, high crime, injustice, gender inequality, racial discrimination, suicidal and uncompetitive America, dilapidated infrastructure, and invasion of illegal migrants at once. America needs a Jeffersonian revolution!

US. BORDERS

Whereas for years American consecutive and successive administrations had failed to secure the American borders and deter illegal aliens from entry into America. This strategy is formulated at no cost to the US government but intended to protect the American interests once and for all.

1. The US Constitution MUST be revised to stipulate the American national sovereignty lies in the hands of American citizens. With majority (51%) American citizens have the power through the National Referendum to remove any official instantly on GROUND of no confidence and without impeachment and change any national policy or government immediately.
2. The US Constitution declares the illegal immigrants of any variety have no rights to and in America, all the illegal aliens already residing in America shall be deported without delay at once. They have been mislabeled as refugees.

3. The US Constitution declares children of illegal aliens born in America are not considered American citizens, therefore they must also be deported without appeal.

4. The US Constitution shall put the political asylum applications on hold for 100 years.

5. The US welcomes immigrants of high calibre, good education and upright morality without consideration of race, color, or religion. Right now America needs more MDs and RNs, and their applications have high priority.

6. The US Constitution declares American English as the only official language in the United States, to be used in all government and business, air ports, schools and everywhere. The US government shall not provide translation or interpreters. All foreign languages can be used in private without any restriction.

7. The US shall turn welfare into workfare. Only American citizens or residents may apply for public assistance. Those who receive public assistance must work for it. An unmarried woman without husband who produces children can not be qualified for welfare. To receive welfare the unmarried woman has to be sterilized and all her children for public adoption. Illegal aliens or illegal immigrants shall receive no public assistance whatsoever.

8. The US shall put up walls or fences necessary to make American borders secure. An invasion of illegal immigrants to America shall be deterred by American military force. Mexico must not be used by economic or illegal immigrants under any pretense. There is no negotiation for illegal immigrants.

9. No American citizen or business or institution may hire or give aid to illegal aliens and illegal immigrants which constitutes a violation of federal law.

10. American farmers who need extra workers during harvest time may apply to the Department of Labor to hire some seasonable migrant workers with temporary permits. After the end of employment, all seasonal migrant workers must return to where they come from without extension and without change of their status.

EU, GANG-7, AND NATO SHOULD BE DESTROYED AND DISSOLVED BECAUSE THEY EXIST ONLY TO DO EVIL TO EUROPEANS AND PEOPLES OF THE WORLD. UKRAINE SHOULD BE DESTROYED AND NEVER TO BE REBUILT, TO SERVE AS A WARNING TO ANY PUPPET GOVERNMENT WHICH WANTS WAR and NOT PEACE.

The Identity Theft runs amok in America. A change of law requires the government to promptly handle the case. The crook identified who cumulatively defrauds $1 million or more shall be executed at once without appeal and his/her picture is published nationwide.

I agree with Andrew Lapin that Nearly half of US adults believe America should be a ‘Christian nation’. If Pew Research Center included children, the overwhelming of Americans want to be a Christian nation. But America is NOT a Christian nation because its leaders and politicians conduct themselves against the teachings of Jesus Christ. The Light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not appreciate it. To be obedient to Jesus Christ is not Christian nationalism, not white supremacy, NOT Affirmative Action. A Christian nation would not threaten any nation, but “seek peace” and “practice righteousness.” 1Jo 3:10.

This is not the first time, somebody offers me money for my articles or writings, in cooperation to link to my website. My answer is always: I proclaim the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ absolutely free, only the Truth, nothing but the Truth. We do not believe in mixing the Truth with ulterior motive of money. My BOSS is one and only Jesus Christ.

“Building A Beautiful China Where Humanity and Nature Co-exist In Harmony.” This is a correct and sound national policy unprecedented in the history of mankind. The West is out of their minds to oppose and regard China as a threat, the aggressor, and many other lies. THE US HAS MADE TOO MANY ACTS WHICH ARE HOSTILE, RESTRICTED, ANTIGONISTIC, DETRIMENTAL AND HARMFUL TO CHINA.

Japan is another foreign ally like many Western nations that practices sham (fake) Western democracy, although 60% of Japanese people oppose Abe’s state funeral, as usual the Japanese government never pays attention to the will and wish of Japanese people in its national policy anyway.

The only turning point is to execute the Ukraine nincompoop and puppet for war crimes and blast of Crimea bridge. The Western bloc ceases to send money and weapons to Ukraine, and stop the war at once. IMF-WOLRD BANK should not waste money on any puppet nation which does not want peace but want war, led by the nincompoop to death and destruction by choice. See big talk can do anything good in doing reconstruction.

The UNITED NATIONS should move out of New York, USA, so that the representatives and delegates of UN do not need visas issued and controlled by the US government. Visas should be issued automatically.

We agree with Jeff Melton, “The Ukraine Tragedy: Made in America”, with the collaboration of the Ukraine nincompoop and puppet. The international community has no reason to help Ukraine in anyway.

The Ukraine nincompoop and puppet rejects peace, he wants more money so that his regime can live lavishly on American Taxpayer money of $8.8 billion a month, and more heavy weapons, tanks and foreign troops to prolong the war, so that more thousands of Ukrainians may die, and millions more of refugees and displaced person and global inflation and high cost of living. What nation on earth can have $8.8 billion to spend a month?

American leaders and politicians are wantonly giving away US taxpayer money that we don’t have and give to useless, corrupt and unworthy countries. Enough is enough. Americans RISE UP to reject committing suicide and futile intervention of other nations. A REVOLUTION is needed to save America from its wrong leaders and politicians and wrong path of destruction.

Europeans will be first to suffer the destruction and devastation of nuclear weapons. Japan will be the second.

According to Ben Norton, https://t.co/PE3LAJpQVz pic.twitter.com/QUkjtpaPVQ

“While it wages a proxy war on Russia in Ukraine, the US-led NATO military alliance plans to encircle China and expand into the Asia-Pacific region, collaborating with Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand.

NATO has waged wars on Libya, Afghanistan, and the former Yugoslavia. Now the US-led military alliance has its cross-hairs set on both Russia and China.

Former top State Department officials have admitted that the “United States and its NATO allies are engaged in a proxy war with Russia” in Ukraine.

While it is flooding Ukraine with weapons and training far-right fighters to kill Russians, NATO is simultaneously threatening China, and expanding its presence in the Asia-Pacific in hopes of containing Beijing.”

Vanity of vanity, absurdity of absurdity, insanity of insanity; American, EU, NATO, UK, FRANCE, GERMANY, CANADIAN, AUSTRALIAN and Japanese leaders and politicians, do not realize what they are doing are not only EVIL, but absolutely Stupid, Senseless, and Simpleminded. They blindly send weapons overseas to fuel and perpetuate wars. Sanctions are suicides. Putin executed a master stroke in demanding unfriendly countries to pay gas in Russian rubles. From now on the world will recognize Ruble (₽) , and

CNY - Chinese Yuan (RMB)

Millions of Ukrainians seem to be dummies because they do not realize all their problems and troubles are caused by nincompoop Ukrainian president. This is the outcome of failure and flaw of so-called Western democracy and election that one ignorant man is the downfall and deaths of many. Once elected the leader becomes a demagouge and dictator doing evil to his people and country. No one stops him.

*Wednesday was May 4, 2022. The DAY OF INFAMY.

I cry for a million Americans who died needlessly because of the neglect and negligence of American leaders and politicians who have blood on their hands. America is the no. 1 in medical facilities, doctors, nurses, medical specialists, drugs, equipment and supplies; yet America is the NO. I in COVID-19 deaths. They have plenty of money to send weapons to perpetuate wars overseas. They do not have money to prevent and cure COVID-19 at home.

Nixon looks greater and greater in history, while his successors look smaller and smaller, worse are those warmongers, incompetent, and cowardly in taking action against in justice.

Why the world rejects Western-led global order? Because Western-led global order means the West practices aggression, oppression, repression, intervention, exploitation, corruption, deception, disinformation, sanction, obstruction, subjection, superimposition, transgression, humiliation, polarization, deterioration, and Western domination and disintegration. Are you not sick of Western-led global order which causes and creates so much troubles and tragedies in the world?... When will Western leaders and politicians, and Western mainstream media repent and realize they have been doing evil for too and so long? Western false propaganda and continuous military provocations may snow ball into real wars in Taiwan, Ukraine, etc. and lead to nuclear war that will destroy the whole world.

You must be a hopeless supremacist to disagree with President Xi Jinping’ message:

“The right way forward for humanity is peaceful development and win-win cooperation. Different countries and civilizations may prosper together on the basis of respect for each other, and seek common ground and win-win outcomes by setting aside differences.

We should follow the trend of history, work for a stable international order, advocate common values of humanity, and build a community with a shared future for mankind. We should choose dialogue over confrontation, inclusiveness over exclusion, and stand against all forms of unilateralism, protectionism, hegemony or power politics.”

For too long leaders and peoples of corrupt, bankrupt, insolvent, backward, unproductive, self-destructive, useless, no-reason-to-exist nations that have no abilities in nation building, but plenty of abilities in creating chaos, civil wars, criminal activities, military coups, and setting fire on their own nations, etc.; the world should not send humanitarian aid or peace-keeping troops; but watch aftermath if they sincerely want to become decent countries, then give them help with conditions. All military coups should be classified as rebellion and mutiny, and all military leaders shall be executed without appeal.

Out of the wicked comes wickedness: the corrupt practices of politicization of trade, sports, diplomacy, technology; dirty persons of accusing others being dirty, immoral persons of accusing others immoral. America executes diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics, but American sportsmen and sportswomen are eager to participate. American government goes against the will and wishes of its people and that is called democracy and freedom and human rights.

LONG LIVE ISRAEL! GOD WILL FIGHT FOR ISRAEL! Palestinians are illegal Arabs who do not have the right of self-determination in the Jewish land. They can have the right of self-determination in any Arab land.

I congratulate China for:

(1). Lifting out 780 million peasants from abject poverty. No nation has ever done before. I understand Norway was the first country to eliminate poverty. But Norway is a small nation with a population of 5.35 million (2019). I like Norway, had been there; although I disagree with its government.

(2). Spectacular successes in infrastructure development, including Railway, High Speed Railway, International Railway, subway, -- the no. 1 in the world.

“US, EU concerned by China's 'problematic and unilateral actions' at sea”. This is so diabolical, it is US, EU under so-called freedom of navigation have their aircraft carriers, war ships, nuclear submarines coming to Yellow Sea, South China Sea, and the East China Sea. When did you find China’s warship in American Sea and EU Sea? Taiwan is a province of China, nothing to do with US, EU. The wicked are expert in distortion. The greatest problems in the world are US, EU and Islamic Terrorists.

How to solve the unwanted, undesirable, violent illegal migrants problems: Do not let them enter. Do not give aid or help. They will return to where they come from.

China does not attack or occupy any country. China wants America to get off its back. Let China alone. Let there be peace. White supremacists ask, Where Xis China Is Heading? Not because they have good will towards China.

In spite of wasting 20 years of war, wasting 8 trillions of dollars, with superior military might and weapons, with deaths of many American soldiers, in August 2021, Afghanistan has fallen into the hands of Taliban. The deadly and fatal mistakes repeated again and again by the American government all because there is no vested sovereign power in the hands of American citizens. American leaders and politicians can do whatever as they please. The American citizens are powerless to stop them. They have all the power and the American people have none. Therefore a Constitutional change is required urgently to vest the sovereign power of America into the hands of American citizens to save America without further delay!! How can the U.S. help solve global problems, like Covid-19 and climate change when the U.S. actually are the problems? If America has true democracy, why American citizens do not have Constitutional Sovereign Right in executing National Referendum and politicians do as they please with indemnity? Which nation has committed most war crimes and genocide and destruction since the end of World War II?

Crooks and criminals are using emails boldly and freely to commit unlimited lawlessness to blackmail, defraud, deceive, extort, and terrorize law-abiding people; no legitimate government, country or international body is doing any legal act to punish and stop these crooks and criminals in this hour of the power of darkness displayed by children of the devil. Warmongers are honored as architects of peace. Pompeo is a warmonger and a betrayer of Nixon’s peace policy. The wicked distort the truth, propagate lies and falsehoods and trample on justice. May God demonstrate His wrath upon them soon!

Zone Alarm of Check Point is the global virus and the Internet terrorist. ZONE ALARM IS THE WORLD’S #1 CYBER THREAT TODAY. It has invaded my computer, hiding and causing dysfunctions and all sorts of operative troubles and wasted much of my time. It does not have valid name or valid file so you can delete it. It is costly to the user to reinstall the computer system. The powerful federal government should prosecute those who are responsible for evildoing and liquidate the children of darkness and children of the devil once and for all.

PLEASE DESTROY ZONE ALARM THE GLOBAL VIRUS - THE INTERNET TERRORIST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AMERICA HAS INVENTED A DISTORTED MAGIC MIRROR: WHEN AMERICAN LEADERS AND POLITICIANS SEE THEMSELVES SOLELY BUSY AGGRESSIVE, OPPRESSIVE, DECEPTIVE, PROVOCATIVE, ABUSIVE, DESTRUCTIVE, LYING, KILLING, ROBBING, SANCTIONING, SPYING, SABOTAGING, MAKING ILLEGAL LAWS, FULL OF MALICE AND DEVOID OF GOOD WILL … IT HAS A PERVERTED VIEW AND CHANGES THE SCENE IMMEDIATELY AND THEY CALL IT CHINA.

I strongly denounce sitey.me for presenting people worshiping idols burning incense using my article THE INCOMPARABLE JESUS. I am a Christian rejecting all forms of superstition. https://the-incomparable-jesus.sitey.me/location I do not have any relationship with sitey.me

My website has nothing to do with Muhammad. The love of money causes one to do evil things. God will judge them sooner or later.

You need to know the so-called Images of Willie Wong Thought of various races and genders on the Internet, have nothing to do with me or Willie Wong Thought.

The fake claim and biggest black lie is black Jews. Abraham was not a Negro, the twelve tribes of Israel were not Negroes. David was not a Negro. Jesus was born a Jew, not a Negro. There are no black Jews. Merriam Webster defines Negro as a person of Black African ancestry. The Biblical Jews are neither black nor African.

The two-state proposal is not the two-state solution. For God gave the Promised Land to Abraham and his descendants some 4,000 years ago. The Chosen People rebelled against God and they were scattered all over the world. During the British colonial rule, the Holy Land was known as Palestine, illegal Arabs moved in to occupy the Holy Land without payment. The illegal Arabs were latter known as Palestinians. Palestinians, Arabs and Hamas have no claim to the Holy Land and no resettlement right in the Holy Land. They do not own one inch of the Jewish land, they now illegally occupied the Promised Land; Palestinians, Arabs and Hamas must at once leave the Jewish land for good. The leaders of the United Kingdom could tell them so. Palestinians could never establish a Palestinian state in the Holy Land. The United Nations or any agency has no authority to give the Jewish land to Palestinians, Arabs and Hamas. Jerusalem is forever the capital of the great King David. It is high time for Palestinians, Arabs and Hamas to get out of the Holy Land in peace; or they will be evicted by force. God will fight for Jerusalem, for God is the Protector of Israel. Palestine only existed in British colonial rule, so Palestinians are not free in Israel; they must be expelled from Jerusalem and the Jewish land, from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. They are free to go to Arab nations. Palestinians and Hamas must withdraw from the Jewish land that God gave to Abraham and his descendants without delay. Any strategy to bargain away the Jewish land is wrong.

It is vital for China to provide free prenatal care, free delivery of baby (including hospitalization), free one-year nursing supply of baby formula and baby diaper to increase birth rate. 1,500 is deductible from income tax per family per child. The mother has the right to be off from work for 3 months with pay and job guaranteed when return to work.

China needs to cut foreign aid in order to aid China’s poor first.

The UN must identify the terrorists who caused substantial damage to Crimean Bridge and execute them. The UN must identify the terrorists who blew up Nord Stream pipelines and execute them.

The UN must condemn any nation that uses cluster bombs in Ukraine or anywhere.

BRICKS was established to weaken American hegemony and circumvent the Western domination. India would be in conflict of interest to be used by America in QUAD. BRICKS would be a mistake in developing a new global currency. The strong and reliable Chinese yuan ( ) can compete or even displace the US dollar. Each member state should strengthen its finance and economy. France and more than 100 nations should be welcome to join BRICKS at once.

Russia needs to declare a clear policy: Whenever and wherever Russia is being attacked by NATO, with absolute certainty Russia will respond with nuclear weapons.

Most Americans do not understand the consequences of US Debt Limit. American leaders and politicians of both parties have mismanaged the country with negligence and neglect. Even with the highest debt, they sent billions and billions of borrowed money and weapons to corrupt Ukraine to prolong the war. By spending spree they commit America to suicide. Reform will not save America, America needs Revolution as suggested by founding fathers. America needs to ditch phony democracy by a New Constitution that stipulates national sovereignty lies in the hands of American citizens. With a majority (51%) of American citizens through a National Referendum, Americans have power to remove instantly any elected or appointed official without impeachment to change the government.

Not allegations but historical facts, Gang 7 which includes US, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and pagan Japan have been responsible for all the evil deeds done in the world in terms of imperialism, colonialism, capitalism, militarism, monopoly and domination to the present. They have made the world profoundly worse, the root of all evils, often been wars of conquest, oppression, suppression, aggression and sanction; and under false pretenses of democracy, human rights, freedom and justice. Japan is a war crime nation that has not fulfilled its obligations, suffering immense inferiority complex, although an Asian nation but preferred to be White, and willing running dog of America. Except Japan, the six Western nations of G 7 claim to be Christians; but by their fruits they are children of the devil. The world would be better off without G 7.

According to Chen Qingqin, “Canada appears to have become a leading anti-China force in the US-led small clique. Its China policy has become even more confrontational than that of Washington, which has dragged Canada-China relations into the deep freeze. The current anti-China waves across Canadian politics and public opinion could be seen as a Canadian version of McCarthyism in the 21st century, fully highlighting the lack of strategic vision and continuity of the Ottawa’s China policy, some observers said.” It is high time for Chinese students and Chinese businesses to withdraw from Canada the avowed enemy.

The pathetically foolish Japanese and S. Korean running dogs of America join NATO to bring nuclear war to Asia. The enlightened France and Germany must promptly withdraw from EU and NATO to avoid the coming disaster.

Useless and violent Sudan holds the world as hostage because world leaders are stupid. What to do with Sudan? Nothing, absolutely nothing! Sudanese want to set fire and kill each other. Let them do it! Never negotiate; never give aid; never interfere! Those foreign nationals who have been evacuated, never return! Let Sudan alone and see how long it can last?!?!?!

Global insecurity is directly caused by warmongering US, UK, NATO, GANG-7, Canada, Japan, South Korea and Australia; and created by those backward and poor nations who have no abilities for self-sufficiency and productivity, but immense propensities for civil wars, self-destruction, military coups d'état and evil deeds beyond measure.

Although China’s military budget is

much less than of the USA’s, the U.S. has been encircling China with more and war

machinery for years. Although absolutely no evidence that China poses any threat to US, EU, UK, NATO, AUSTRALIA and the world, but AUKUS (Australia, UK, US)

conspire and collude so that Australia purchases 5 nuclear attacked submarines from US to target China. In their own words, “focused primarily on deterring China.” When warmongers want to dominate the world, they need a lame excuse to cover them up. The US, UK

are trampling on Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons

(NPT). Australian hawks, enemies and nincompoops like the most egregious and malicious Paul Keating irrationally manufacture consent for war. The West has a concerted propaganda campaign

for war against China just as it is doing in Europe against Russia. The world must be alert that the West wants a nuclear war in the offing to destroy the whole world.

Jesus Christ is coming again!

The War in Ukraine could go Nuclear if US, EU and NATO escalate by keep sending so much money, ammunition, heavy and advanced weapons, tanks and jet fighters to the Ukraine nincompoop and puppet to prolong the War and Russia uses up all her conventional weapons. The Ukraine nincompoop and puppet has so much money (US$8.8 billion monthly) to spend, he is not interested in peace talk no matter how many Ukrainians die and millions flee to other countries. The war in Ukraine is testing the West’s stupidity. Why ICC does not issue a warrant to arrest the Ukrainian war criminal? Because the nincompoop is a Western puppet and under nuclear umbrella protection.

The Western mass media controls the world. It habitually spews out lies and falsehoods, the Western journalists are agents of the devil and Western powers who are not afraid to go to Hell. They accuse China the threat of the world without fact and evidence. Fact and evidence points to US, EU and NATO who are the greatest threat to the world. Western leaders and politicians pride themselves on their power to deceive and destroy and rob without SHAME!!!.

- JEFFREY SACHS

The only way to have WORLD PEACE is to abolish NATO, G-7 and EU; abandon American imperialism, capitalism, hegemony, warmongering and sanctions; and leave corrupt Ukraine desolate and unsupported economically, financially and militarily. The Ukraine war criminal eyes victory is an illusion and delusion; the reality is Ukraine destroyed and desolate.

The Philippines has taken the WRONG side of America, China must act accordingly.

Genocide by definition is the deliberate killing of people. Since China does not kill any Uighur in Xinjiang, Western propagandists distort the word by charging China committing cultural genocide. What China did was brilliant ingenuity, by converting the Islamic killing terrorists and destroyers of society, through reformation and job training into useful and law abiding citizens. Xinjiang is beyond the reach of Western powers because its people are happy and harmonious, fully employed and patriotic. America would do well in copying China to practice "cultural genocide" on homegrown Islamic terrorists, gun crooks and criminals, police brutality and useless welfare recipients into productive residents.

In spite of official Ukraine corruption, most of the nations are insolvent and chaotic, the clear intent of Germany, UK, US and NATO is to have a direct war with Russia, and thus pushes the Doomsday closer. They proceed from evil to evil. Most scientists believe the Doomsday is close, the Bible teaches the end of the world is near. The Ukraine nincompoop and puppet is so puffed up that he rejected peace talk and he does not want peace since he has got so much money, arms, weapons, tanks and jet fighters.

If Western powers dig deeper in the Ukraine war, they will find nothing but death, destruction and doom and a bunch of stinking dog’s feces of political haughty hogwash. EU and NATO should be abolished and dissolved because they exist only to do evil. What the Ukrainian nincompoop and puppet needs are not tanks, but the greatest TERROR the West can give to Ukraine is NOTHING: NO ARMS, NO MONEY, NO WEAPONS. Then the war will be over, and there will be peace in the world; as well as a footnote in history: Ukraine “a heap of ruins”vanishes from the world in the 21^st century.

Putin orders ceasefire, but the nincompoop of Ukraine rejects it. The Western puppet wants money and weapons to continue the war. As long as US, UK, EU, NATO, FRANCE, G-7, GERMANY, ETC. give money and weapons to Ukraine, there will be no peace. The Ukrainian nincompoop and puppet only wants money and weapons, he does not care a bit about the unnecessary deaths of his people and devastation of his country. Western leaders and politicians are not very smart for knowing the war causes global inflation, high costs of living, energy crisis and hardship which benefits America only, and yet they follow America like sheep to be slaughtered. Putin may destroy Ukraine and leave Ukraine desolate.

I THANK YOU IN THE NAME OF THE LORD.

As far as American way of life, it may just go to Hell. What buffoon wants to copy the American way of life? An empty and deluded democracy, phony justice, fake freedom, exploitation by capitalism, the 1% of population rules over the 99%, corrupt government, national values of power, money, and sex; and violent way of life.

It is no surprise the war in Ukraine has divided the West against the world. The large citizens of Germany, France, Italy, Hungary, etc. demonstrated to oppose the war and NATO. They wanted their governments to withdraw from EU and NATO. Fewer Than 1 in 6 Americans Want U.S. Soldiers in Any War. G-20 Bali Summit representing the world resolves and reaffirms to want cooperation and oppose conflict, peace and not war.

Today is November 16, 2022, whereas America is in crisis, as a Christian and an American citizen, I am obliged to tell the Truth. The two American parties have betrayed America, and they do not serve the national interest. American leaders and politicians have failed the American people either, so we have inflation, high cost of living, largest national debt and deficits, wrong foreign policy, high crime, injustice, racial discrimination, gender inequality, energy crisis, police brutality, invasion of illegal migrants, military conflict and foreign wars for so long, and useless elections. Now America needs a new direction with new, good, and able leaders. Trump had disgraced himself, unfit, and un-Christian. America cannot CONTINUOUSLY waste years to let bad leaders and politicians keep doing evil and waste money and effort. America needs a new election to change the Constitution to stipulate American sovereignty lies in the hands of its citizens in a true democracy. With a majority (51%) American citizens are empowered to remove any bad leader and politicians instantly without useless impeachment. American citizens have power to change any wrong national policy and direction immediately through a National Referendum. The new leader must be able to solve domestic problems and seek a just and lasting peace for the world.

US MIDTERM ELECTIONS

According to https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202211/08/WS63698df0a3105ca1f2274970.html

“The total US' spending on races during the 2022 midterm election cycle will exceed $16.7 billion, breaking the record of inflation-adjusted $13.7 billion spent in 2018, according to Bloomberg citing estimates from OpenSecrets, a nonprofit organization in the US.”

As usual, elections give the world a doped appearance of “American democracy” and American voters a false sense of security because “I VOTED.” Trump is a disgraced leader and a non-Christian. Both leaders are major causes of American decline. It makes the 1% rulers of America richer and more powerful. What America really needs is an election to vote to change the Constitution to stipulate the national sovereignty lies in the hands of American citizens. With a majority (51%) American citizens through National Referendum can remove the bad and wrong leader instantly, and stops the wrong national policy of wasting trillions of dollars in all foreign military adventures and abandons support to Ukraine war immediately. The two American parties have betrayed America. America needs leaders and politicians who can solve inflation, high cost of living, high crime, injustice, gender inequality, racial discrimination, suicidal and uncompetitive America, dilapidated infrastructure, and invasion of illegal migrants at once. America needs a Jeffersonian revolution!

U.S. BORDERS

1. The US Constitution shall be revised to stipulate the American national sovereignty lies in the hands of American citizens. With majority (51%) American citizens have the power through the National Referendum to remove any official instantly on GROUND of no confidence and without impeachment and change any national policy or government immediately.

2. The US Constitution declares the illegal immigrants of any variety have no rights to and in America, all the illegal aliens already residing in America shall be deported without delay at once. They have been mislabeled as refugees.

3. The US Constitution declares children of illegal aliens born in America are not considered American citizens, therefore they must also be deported without appeal.

4. The US Constitution shall put the political asylum applications on hold for 100 years.

9. No American citizen or business or institution may hire or give aid to illegal aliens and illegal immigrants which constitutes a violation of federal law.

“Most UFOs are 'Chinese surveillance' drones and 'airborne clutter,' Pentagon officials reveal” as reported by Brandon Specktor recently. This is a most double talk report. Over the years the reports of UFOs or unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) had been extraordinary, not “identified as "relatively ordinary" Chinese surveillance drones”. If “China had previously stolen plans for advanced U.S. fighter planes,” how do you explain that UFOs or UAPs technologies deployed are far superior to the American technologies? If this is true, there are more reasons America should not engage war with China. If it is only another lie, then it is plausible to the premise and propaganda that China is the greatest threat to America. Either way, the American spreading of pieces of misinformation against China is “strange indeed.” Who is the liar that deliberately spews out dangerous lies around the world?

EU, GANG-7, AND NATO SHOULD BE DESTROYED AND DISSOLVED BECAUSE THEY EXIST ONLY TO DO EVIL TO UROPEANS AND PEOPLES OF THE WORLD. UKRAINE SHOULD BE DESTROYED AND NEVER TO BE REBUILT, TO SERVE AS A WARNING TO ANY PUPPET GOVERNMENT WHICH WANTS WAR and NOT PEACE.

Many nations which practice general elections have very serious problems at home. To solve all these problems, the solution is simple: Ditch all phony democracy, establish and stipulate citizen sovereignty in the Constitution with the practice of National Referendum. With majority votes of 51% citizens have the right to remove any office immediately and change the national policy on any issue instantly. The majority of citizens even have the power to dissolve a useless government.

This is not the first time, somebody offers me money for my articles or writings, in cooperation to link to my website. My answer is always: I proclaim the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ absolutely free, only the Truth, nothing but the Truth. We do not believe in mixing the Truth with ulterior motive of money. My BOSS is one and only Jesus Christ.

It is a big lie and absurd to name China as a major national challenge because China does not attack or occupy any nation. America since the end of World War II has attacked and occupied many nations and killed millions of innocent peoples around the world. The US and its allies are the number one threat to the world. Actions speak louder than propaganda.

Western “democracy” is so afraid of national referendum, so they never use it because they are afraid the majority of their citizens would disapprove their wrong national policies. Now four regions of Ukraine in a national referendum voted to join Russia, they automatically call it “sham”. EU is so ridiculous, suffering high inflation and energy crisis, instead of obeying its citizens to ditch the proxy war, it wants to sanction Russia more. Ukrainians used referendums to vote in joining Russia is legal, while US and EU fighting proxy war in Ukraine is illegal.

PUBLIC NOTICE

Leaders and politicians of some 50 nations, in spite of CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC and high inflation, send their taxpayer money and heavy weapons to the Ukraine nincompoop and puppet, in order to prolong the war with Russia. Scandinavia hopes for security, instead joins death camp. NATO is the Western terrorism and war machine to target Russia in Europe; and expands to Asia to target China. The world has no peace because the West misleads the peoples by distortion and death and destruction.

America can be GREAT again by doing the following:

1. Revise the Constitution to stipulate the national sovereignty is vested in the hands of American citizens with majority can determine the leadership and decide the direction and destiny of America.

2. Discard imperialism, capitalism, aggression, warmongering, intervention of other nations by dismissing NATO, QUAD, all military and political alliances.

3. Solve internal problems of economy, finance, infrastructure, corruption, gun violence, inflation and high cost of living, and unemployment.

4.Cease ban, boycott, embargo, high tariff, sanctions on trade against any nation.

5. Return Taiwan to China and end the Ukraine war at once.

6. Embrace Russia, China, and all nations in peace and together to build a better world.

For the Ukrainian nincompoop and puppet to sanction Putin is tantamount to a frog at the bottom of the well to challenge an Elephant.

The destructive costs of Ukraine war are beyond the counting of those who started it. It must be ended at once. The nincompoop of Ukraine president should be liquidated, Ukraine forever abandoned, NATO abolished, EU reorganized, US and UK and GANG-7 leaders repudiated. The free peoples of the world rise up once and for all to oppose unilateralism, aggression, and wars.

Western leaders and NATO, EU, UK, QUAD are responsible for global inflation, recession, food shortage, high price of gas and oil, death and destruction in Ukraine; ban and high tariffs and sanctions on Chinese goods and products, Russian gas and oil -- all the troubles and unrest in the world. Let Europeans and free peoples of the world arise to oppose dictatorship and domination, imperialism and capitalism.

History is at a turning point because Western leaders conceive an evil plot to prolong the Ukrainian war in order to wear out Russia militarily, economically, and financially. With more money, more heavy weapons, more trained soldiers the Ukraine nincompoop and puppet even demands Russia to surrender. Russia must not repeat the mistake of Soviet Union, and extricate herself from Ukraine at once. Russia needs to declare nuclear option in response to any attack on Russia. The international community must not be fooled to waste humanitarian aid and reconstruction when the recipient wanted war and destruction itself.

The lofty goal of QUAD is to destroy China in Asia as NATO in Europe to destroy Russia. ASEAN countries must be smart and not to be used by Western leaders to have war with China; America does not condemn Japan that never fulfilled its unconditional surrender agreement for genocide of 35 million Chinese, millions of forced labor, and thousands of sex slavery what Japan called “comfort women” who are dying out; and also for Japan to dump nuclear waste water into the Pacific. On the contrary they want a war crime nation to become permanent member of the UN Security Council. There is no HOPE for Scandinavian governments, because EU, UK, NATO, GANG-7, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, Japan are only extension and expansion of American empire. Western democracy does NOT allow self-determination or majority rule. Less than 15 individuals in the world will determine the fate of 8 billion peoples in the world. They do not want peace and security, they only want wars and conflicts to destroy Russia and China to dominate the world.

Europeans will be first to suffer the destruction and devastation of nuclear weapons.

More assets seizing and sanctions against Russia, more money and weapons sent by the US, UK, EU, NATO, GANG-7, Germany, France, Canada, Australia, Japan to obedient and nincompoop Ukrainian president, the clearer their objectives of war, the more Ukrainian refugees, displaced persons and deaths; the more world-wide high inflation; the more it forces Russia in self-defense to deploy nuclear weapons; the sooner the end of the world and the coming of Jesus Christ.

Millions of Ukrainian refugees and internally displaced persons have no one to blame but their nincompoop president and themselves. Hungary is the nation which has courage and conscience to speak against EU and NATO.

Clearly by words and deeds, the US, EU, UK, NATO, G-7, FRANCE, GERMANY, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, UKRAINE, India, Japan want war not peace. Let the world get ready for nuclear war and the second coming of Jesus Christ.

The more money and heavy weapons the West sends to Ukraine, Ukraine rejects peace talk. Puppet Ukraine demands Russia to surrender is like a rat asks the elephant to surrender. Under pressure nations that send weapons to Ukraine do not want peace. Everything that the U.S. does is intended to weaken and destroy Russia and China in order to maintain its world domination and dictatorship.

Ukraine is only a puppet regime. As long as US, UK, EU, NATO, and Japan exist, there will be no peace in the world, only more wars and military conflicts continue. They are enemies of world peace.

According to Ben Norton, https://t.co/PE3LAJpQVz pic.twitter.com/QUkjtpaPVQ

NATO has waged wars on Libya, Afghanistan, and the former Yugoslavia. Now the US-led military alliance has its cross-hairs set on both Russia and China.

Former top State Department officials have admitted that the “United States and its NATO allies are engaged in a proxy war with Russia” in Ukraine.

Under pressure nations that send weapons to Ukraine do not want peace. Everything that the U.S. does is intended to weaken and destroy Russia and China in order to maintain its world domination and dictatorship.

There is no PEACE because the Ukrainian president does NOT want peace; he only WANTS more arms, weapons, military hardware from US, UK, EU, NATO. Western media supports the war, make fake news and lies to perpetuate the war.

The American media has the most crooked and distorted mouth of the Deceiver. Shanghai residents did notquestion human cost of China’s COVID quarantines. What must be done must be done. The strangest thing is the fact American leaders, politicians, and media do not question American human cost of more than one million unnecessary deaths at the neglect and negligence and the blood on the hands of American leaders, politicians and media. The greatest irony and the most unprecedented paradox are taking place before our eyes. China for sure is not a Christian nation, in this point, is following the teaching of Jesus Christ: Chinese people are helping and loving each other in sincerity in crisis. The lock-down of a large Chinese city of 25-million Shanghai and its closed-off management encounter multiple and immense problems. 38-thousand medics from other parts of China volunteered and came to aid Shanghai. Thousands and thousands of volunteers help solved the logistic difficulties of obtaining food, medicine, etc. for quarantined residents who are not allowed to leave their homes. My wife engineered to have milk in bulk delivered and benefited also neighbors. A friend of ours who is a physician volunteered to obtain my medications. Volunteers do deliveries of food and essentials, collect garbage, etc. daily. Residents also undergo COVID-19 tests. This is the largest undertaking mankind has faced. At the same time, America, EU, NATO, UK who claim to be Christians and pagan Japan are launching an all-out war against Russia with all kinds of sanctions, and send arms and weapons and military hardware to Ukraine to prolong and perpetuate the war. Ukraine does not want peace, it is useless and wasteful to send humanitarian aid to Ukraine. The West does not want peace, they want to destroy any nation that does not bow to their dictates. Nincompoop EU and NATO leaders know what causes the war in the first place. Now if and when EU and NATO want to accept Ukraine as their members; the doom of the world is sealed. In this way they oppress and push Russia to a corner of no return, that certainly geometrically increases the chances of nuclear war that will surely destroy the whole world. There is not one glimpse of hope because the U.S., EU, NATO, UK, G-7 and Japan continuously do evil things by sending arms, weapons and military hardware to prolong war and spread fake news, false information, and disinformation about Russia and China. Jesus Christ is at the door.

The purpose of the United Nations is to maintain world peace with authority but without power. The nincompoop president of Ukraine deliberately created the cause of war. It is his stupid acts and ambition that cause and cost Ukrainian lives, economic crisis, refugees and troubles; a dumb agent of the West with abilities only to lie and make false accusations. America, EU, G-7, UK, NATO send large quantities and quality of arms and weapons and military hardware to Ukraine meant to prolong and perpetuate the war, the West does not want peace. Vanity of vanity, absurdity of absurdity, insanity of insanity; American, EU, NATO, UK, FRANCE, GERMANY, CANADIAN, AUSTRALIAN and Japanese leaders and politicians, do not realize what they are doing are not only EVIL, but absolutely Stupid, Senseless, and Simpleminded. They blindly send weapons overseas to fuel and perpetuate wars. Sanctions are suicides. Putin executed a master stroke in demanding unfriendly countries to pay gas in Russian rubles. From now on the world will recognize Ruble (₽) ,

CNY - Chinese Yuan (RMB)

Talibans have won political and military victory over the United States. Talibans have no money, resources, skills, and management to rebuild Afghanistan, but it resumes its religious practice of discriminating against girls and women. Why should China give hard-earned money, resources, etc. free to Afghanistan? Many countries like Afghanistan thought China received foreign aid in building a great nation today. They did not know China went through wars, famines, hardships, distresses, blood and sweats, poverty, with a great leader to achieve what it is today. Many useless and unworthy countries should be left alone, let them kick around 100 years and see what has happened.

According to https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/04/covid-deaths-top-1-million-in-us-nbc-news-tally-shows.html

“The United States on Wednesday surpassed 1 million Covid-19 deaths, according to data compiled by NBC News — a once unthinkable scale of loss even for the country with the world's highest recorded toll from the virus.

The number — equivalent to the population of San Jose, California, the 10th largest city in the U.S. — was reached at stunning speed: 27 months after the country confirmed its first case of the virus. ”

*Wednesday was May 4, 2022. The DAY OF INFAMY.

It is not a battle between democracy and tyranny. However, Russia must withdraw from Ukraine at once. The West must stop all sanctions, interventions, and provocations right away. The West is doing evil beyond measure. Only China has sent in humanitarian aid. The West has done nothing to stop COVID-19 which is devastating the whole world. The West is sending weapons to perpetuate Ukrainian war. In fact, America, EU, NATO, UK, and Japan are the greatest threats to the world.

It is a battle between world domination and liberation. Western media is expert in distortion and disinformation to play out the devil disguised as an angel. The world’s real problems boil down to one single factor which is the hegemonic, monopolistic, imperial sole superpower of America. America is employing all means including the immoral and fraudulent as well as using its led international order in military, politics, economy, finance (including banking and currency, SWIFT and Switzerland, freezing assets are tools of American imperialism), technology, diplomacy, transportation, mass media, and trade to dominate the world, while EU, NATO, UK, Canada, France are simply American agents and running dogs in Europe to pit against Russia, while Japan and Australia are American agents and running dogs in Asia to target China. As long as the American bloc of aggression and expansion and domination exists, the world will never have peace but conflict and war. Wars benefit the military-industrial-security-complex greatly financially. The president Ukraine is not only a nincompoop, but a persistent, out-and-out nincompoop going all the way. Evidently, the NATO, EU, UK exist only to serve American domination. Except God, noting will stop the U.S. government because American citizens do not have Constitutional right of sovereignty and can not exercise NATIONAL REFERENDUM. The United Nations must move out of America to be independent and effective. I see and I am afraid the Western block will incite and provoke the nuclear war to destroy the whole world; even though more than 82% of American citizens think America is going the WRONG way. The US HAS DONE SO MUCH EVIL IN THE WORLD IN THE NAME OF DEMOCRACY, HUMAN RIGHTS AND CIVIL LIBERTIES.

Ukraine crisis is caused and created by the nincompoop Ukrainian president who accepted arms, ammunition, weapons and troops from the West and deadly desired to join NATO and EU. The nincompoop Ukrainian president is the root cause of evil happening in Ukraine but he thinks he is good. The conflict is man-made disaster. Sanctions are counterproductive. Solution is demilitarization of Ukraine and Russia’s neighboring states, abandonment of joining NATO, cease and desist from aggression, intervention, sending troops, and sanctions by US, EU, NATO, UK, France. NATO exists for war, for peace NATO must vanish for good.

American and European (NATO) aggression, expansion, sanctions, intervention and provocation cause and create conflicts in Ukraine, Taiwan, Syria, etc. that may lead to real wars and a nuclear war that will destroy the whole world. UN HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL is therefore empowered to combat fake news and disinformation spread by any country, leader or media by public disclosure and censure. Let every nation mind its own business and build a good society of its own.

Nixon looks greater and greater in history, while his successors look smaller and smaller, worse are those warmongers, incompetent, and cowardly in taking action against in justice.

Olympics Sports competition is a good idea among nations. Western nations that boycott Beijing Winter Olympics 2022 are wrong and disgraced. Russia is gloriously no. 1 in single female figure skating and in pair figure skating which are superior to any military competition. Western media has great ability to distort and disparage the spectacular achievements of China. Above all, let all nations peacefully compete in building a Good Society of its own. The nation which builds a better society wins.

Some American leaders and politicians and mainstream media journalists suffer severe illness and psychosis that they project their schizophrenia, insecurity, inadequacy, paranoid, delirium, dementia, anxiety, mood, mutism, etc., onto Chinese and Russian leaders.

You must be a hopeless supremacist to disagree with President Xi Jinping’ message:

For US, UK, NATO to arm Ukraine is tantamount to declare war on Russia. For the Ukrainian president to receive arms is to put his country on the battlefield. Western and Ukrainian leaders are not wise but playing with fire and explosives. US and NATO also engaged in provocative military operations in Black Sea. US has abused and oppressed China since the Opium Wars. US uses UK, NATO, Australia, Canada to interfere in China’s internal matters. US continuously violates China’s sovereignty in Taiwan and South China Sea. US arms and uses Japan as a running and attack dog, the only war crime nation which unconditionally surrendered but never fulfilled its unconditional surrender agreements, in planned war pact with US to defend Taiwan and Diaoyu Islands. The consequences may be doom for the world.

My fellow Americans:

No American leaders and politicians are interested in revising the Constitution to vest sovereignty in the American citizens. Why? They want to have all the power and wealth for themselves. They reject the real democracy which is to vest powers in the citizens. The American imperialism and aggressive foreign policy and conduct of many unjust wars and wasteful spending in Defense, etc. never have the approval of American citizens. Too long American leaders and politicians deny with a fait accompli over the citizens to determine the fate and destiny of their nation.They are leading America to doom and destruction without approval of American citizens. It is strangest and most absurd oddity that the Congress continues to make laws involving other sovereignties and foreign territories. Congress does not seem to be interested in making laws for America in many urgent and pressing areas such as gun control, police brutality, healthcare terrorism, etc. Taiwan is a province of China, it is only right for China to take it back. Do American citizens approve the military to defend Taiwan? A national referendum will tell the truth. This is the truth: America is the greatest threat to the world. America is the most mismanaged nation on earth. American leaders and politicians create problems for America, make troubles for China, Russia and the world. Unless America changes, America and the world will perish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Russia-led military has achieved great success in promptly putting down unrest and prevented civil war in Kazakhstan. This is another accomplishment of President Putin which the West would do well to copy.

It has been a long time, now something good has happened. According to Hong Kong (CNN) Five of the world's largest nuclear powers pledged on Monday to work together toward "a world without nuclear weapons" in a rare statement of unity amid rising East-West tensions.

"A nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought," said the joint statement, which was issued simultaneously by the United States, Russia, China, the United Kingdom and France. "As nuclear use would have far-reaching consequences, we also affirm that nuclear weapons -- for as long as they continue to exist -- should serve defensive purposes, deter aggression, and prevent war." The US and its allies must keep their word. The West has proven to say one thing and does another thing. Words need to be backed up by deeds. If America is serious, now disband NATO, close all overseas military bases, annul all military alliances, withdraw all troops and military apparatus, condemn Australia-Japan war pact, and cease interference and sanction of any nation. It is not wise for U.S. to arm Ukraine and threaten the security of Russia. History will prove who is sincere and true, but history is always after the fact.

Biden Rejects $450,000 Payments for Separated from family members at the border. Who asks those unwanted, undesirable, illegal, shameless migrants to come anyway? The U.S. government has failed and must not fail now to deport at once all 65 million illegal aliens who are already in America without further delay.

American and Europeans leaders and politicians have evil eyes and suffer severe envy and jealousy against China, so they manufacture many lies and falsehoods to accuse and tarnish China in Xinjiang, Tibet and Hong Kong. American leaders and politicians are blind to American pressing problems of corruption, abuse of power, waste of national resources, injustice, racial discrimination, guns violence, inequality, unemployment and poverty, economic decay, and political decline. American leaders and politicians do not want to change because the current American situation and status benefits them greatly. The have great power and own most of the wealth. They are leading America to suicide, death, doom and destruction.

None are so hopelessly enslaved, as those who falsely believe they are free under American democracy. The truth has been kept from the depth of their minds by American leaders and politicians who rule them with lies. They feed them on falsehoods till wrong looks like right in their eyes. This is a great tragedy in the world. America and NATO and allies have never been for world peace, they seek world domination. They are the greatest threats and troublemakers from the beginning. The American economy, military and political structures are already in decay and decline for those who have eyes to see.

Being the sole superpower, the United States has no need to harm and hurt the interest of Russia and China. American long-drawn-out wrong foreign policy reflects badly only on the nature of America and its leaders and politicians.

British Empire was the most evil empire in history. Since the infamous Opium Wars, UK has wronged China too many times like America. UK, Canada and Australia have made themselves enemies of China, now follow the evil empire to boycott Beijing Winter Olympics to gang up on China. Chinese world-wide must rise up to defend the motherland: (1). Boycott study in Australia, Canada and UK, Chinese students already there must change country or return home. (2). Boycott Australian, Canada and UK goods and services. (3). Boycott to visit or travel to Australia, Canada and UK. (4). Boycott to do business with Australia, Canada and UK. (5). Support China to sever diplomatic ties with Australia for AUKUS is a military threat.

THIS IS A CLEAR EXAMPLE OF THE GREATEST DECEPTION, DECEIT AND DISTORTION OF AMERICAN MAINSTREAM MEDIA: “There's a lot to worry about with China these days: its military build up, human rights abuses, intellectual espionage, squelching of Hong Kong, and threats to Taiwan.” --full of lies and no truth. The truth there is a lot to worry about with America because its leaders and politicians are purposefully leading America and the world to the high-speed of destruction. China is not a problem of military build up, the problem is America and its allies are practicing absolute military supremacy in the world. China’s human rights are superior to American human rights abuses in injustice, corruption, gun violence, racial discrimination, bankrupt economy, political polarization, phony democracy, and one percent of population rules over the 99 percent and owns most of the power and wealth. China has no intellectual espionage, America is practicing intellectual damage, technological miscarriage, camouflage,, baronetage and damage against China’s peaceful rise. China succeeded in squelching the treason of Western-paid Chinese traitors and foreign espionage to rob and take Hong Kong as another Taiwan. China should have liberated Taiwan from foreign colonization and occupation long ago.

I congratulate China for:

(2). Spectacular successes in infrastructure development, including Railway, High Speed Railway, International Railway, subway, -- the no. 1 in the world.

How to solve the unwanted, undesirable, violent illegal migrants problems: Do not let them enter. Do not give aid or help. They will return to where they come from.

Warmongers and supremacists insist “Biden Administration Needs to Face Reality: China Is an Enemy. The United States is finally, at least rhetorically, committed to competing in an age of great power competition. ..” If you listen to these militant aggressors, the United States will be doomed. It is not Reality, but Rumor mongering. These evildoers are blind to history and current fact. Historically, America has wronged China too many times since the Opium Wars to the present. The wicked want to treat “China as enemy” because they want to continually dominate the world, and subdue the peoples of the world who do not want to follow American hegemony. China has no intention to compete with anyone, much less America. It is absurd to force China to be a competitor or rival. China is no enemy of any nation, and China does not attack or occupy any country. China wants America to get off its back. Let China alone. Let there be peace. White supremacists ask, Where Xis China Is Heading? Not because they have good will towards China. They act and speak without shame as if Taiwan belongs to America. These imperialists and militarists do not ask, Where America Is Heading? Because they lead America and the world to destruction. American foreign policy is the dismal failure and major security threat in the world today, but American leaders and politicians call its the central achievement. For U.S. imperialists and expansionists call themselves realists international-relations thinkers are like high dosage heroin is treated like nutritious vitamins. The so-called great-power rivalry is an exasperated excuse and malicious means to the goal of American continuous domination and dictatorship of the world.

For years things have gone wrong with the United States because the US government spends more than it takes in through revenues, a debt default is not a game of chicken with the global economy; and the U.S. is heading for cliff again and again over the need for Congress to lift the ceiling on how much the US government can borrow. The time has come to stop all borrowing: the measures are painful but needful. Radical problems require radical solutions. It is high time for America to drain the swamp. THE DARKEST SIDE OF AMERICA IS THE FALSE AND WRONG ASSUMPTION AND PRESUMPTION THAT AMERICA IS ON THE SIDE OF GOD, ON THE SIDE OF TRUTH, ON THE SIDE OF LIGHT. THE FACT IS AMERICA IS ON THE SIDE OF THE DEVIL, ITS LEADERS AND POLITICIANS ARE DOING THE DESTRUCTIVE WORK OF THE EVIL ONE WHILE MOST AMERICANS ARE BLIND AND DREAMING THEY ARE RIGHT AND SPIRITUAL.

Close all American overseas military bases all over the world and withdraw all American warships and warplanes, aircraft carriers, etc. and troops and dismiss them. We have no need to maintain such a big military at huge costs. America is no longer an empire, and returns to a Republic. Dismiss NATO, QUAD, and all military alliances. Return Taiwan to China.

Eliminate all nuclear and conventional weapons programs. All attacks on the US will be responded with nuclear weapons. America has more than enough nuclear weapons to defend itself.

Downsize the Defense Department by 3/4 (three fourths, that means for every 4 employees, dismiss 3), and State Department by 3/4 and all federal departments and agencies by 3/4.

Reduce all wages, benefits, and pensions of federal employees by 1/3 (one third means one dollar for every 3 dollars; for example, if the salary of an employee is $3,000 a month, it reduces to $2,000), including the president and all members of Congress, judges, etc.

All former living presidents will receive only basic salary without secret service protection, maintenance of libraries and offices, travel, mail, etc.

Those who oppose these five measures are advocating America to commit suicide; those who support these five measures will save the United States.

The enemies of truth are very afraid and hate this website. Thank God, over the years, in black and white, rain or shine, my website has reached more than 182 nations on earth with millions of peoples around the world absolutely free. The enemies of truth are those who distort facts, trample on the truth, harbor and display hatred, ill will and malice, call black white, tell lies on purpose without conscience, reason and shame, walk in darkness and practice unrighteousness. American violation of China’s sovereignty in Taiwan is called Beijing’s aggressiveness. The distortion practice of American leaders would pale Satanic schemes in comparison.

PUBLIC NOTICE

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Ukraine nincompoop and puppet rejects peace, he wants more money so that his regime can live lavishly on American Taxpayer money of $7 billion a month, and more heavy weapons and foreign troops to prolong the war, so that more thousands of Ukrainians may die, and millions more of refugees and displaced person and global inflation and high cost of living.

America can be GREAT again by doing the following:

2. Discard imperialism, capitalism, aggression, warmongering, intervention of other nations by dismissing NATO, QUAD, all military and political alliances.

3. Solve internal problems of economy, finance, infrastructure, corruption, gun violence, inflation and high cost of living, and unemployment.

4.Cease ban, boycott, embargo, high tariff, sanctions on trade against any nation.

5. Return Taiwan to China and end the Ukraine war at once.

6. Embrace Russia, China, and all nations in peace and together to build a better world.

For the Ukrainian nincompoop and puppet to sanction Putin is tantamount to a frog at the bottom of the well to challenge an Elephant.

Europeans will be first to suffer the destruction and devastation of nuclear weapons.

According to Ben Norton, https://t.co/PE3LAJpQVz pic.twitter.com/QUkjtpaPVQ

NATO has waged wars on Libya, Afghanistan, and the former Yugoslavia. Now the US-led military alliance has its crosshairs set on both Russia and China.

Former top State Department officials have admitted that the “United States and its NATO allies are engaged in a proxy war with Russia” in Ukraine.

Nixon looks greater and greater in history, while his successors look smaller and smaller, worse are those warmongers, incompetent, and cowardly in taking action against in justice.

You must be a hopeless supremacist to disagree with President Xi Jinping’ message:

My fellow Americans:

Biden Rejects $450,000 Payments for Separated

from family members at the border. Who asks those unwanted, undesirable, illegal, shameless migrants to come anyway? The U.S. government has failed and must not fail now to deport at once all 65 million illegal aliens who are already in America without further delay.

---This article is written to let you know why I am a Christian from childhood to old age without regret. I do not make money in all my articles, what I am telling you is the truth.

This is a most serious subject. It boils down to WHAT is and WHAT is not. There cannot be any error, because it is all about TRUTH. It is foolish to believe creation can exist without the Creator. It is childish to dismiss Hell so that it does not exist, just as the pope says.

This article is written to let you know “Why I am a Christian”. Years ago when I was young, I read an article by an unbelieving philosopher “Why I am not a Christian”; although he is dead long ago, this is a reply to his article. I was young, now I am old; the testimony of an old man of advanced years. This is not to boast and brag about myself. We all hold the principle that the witness of a crook or criminal has no value or validity. I am forced to disclose some information about myself in order for you to judge its credibility.

1. I am not an ordained minister, although I have been an unpaid preacher for many years. I am not associated with any organization or group. I could have been an ordained minister because the bishop and head of a mission who knew me personally, wanted to ordain me and offered me to take charge of the mission covering a whole nation. I declined because I believed God had something else for me.

2. I am not paid by any government. Just as I wrote the article “If I were the U.S. President” without being paid; I have written all my articles without pay. I do not get any benefit or money by testifying “Why I am a Christian”. Some years ago I wrote AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT BUSH, it was published by China Daily without pay, many universities including U.C. Berkeley also published my letter without payment. I have two official letters from President Richard Nixon, and other American presidents, President Georges Pompidou of France (with the stamp of President de la Republique and signature), and Director J. Edgar Hoover of FBI.

3. My professor Dr. Harold Koontz, Chancellor of The International Academy of Management wrote about me, “I have known Mr. Wong well for some eight years, having first come to know him when he was a student in my graduate class in Advanced Management Theory, I am glad to say that in this class of forty highly intelligent and motivated M.B.A. and Ph.D. students, Mr. Wong received the highest grade in this class.” Commissioner Irving M. Pollack of Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C. officially wrote about me, “I became acquainted with him when he was employed as a staff member of the Securities and Exchange Commission. He is a sincere, industrious, dedicated, honest and courageous individual. He is willing to undertake difficult tasks and work diligently at them. He is of impeccable character.” After qualified to receive MPA, my university asked me if I wanted to continue to Ph.D and I did not have to do anything, they would take care of everything; for I had completed quarter credits 45, UC GPA 3.7, 60 quarter credits would qualify Ph.D. I was tired for being poor so many years although 15 more units were not a long way off.

I also wrote a book entitled God and Savior: A Textbook on Christology, cataloged by Library of Congress, LC Control Number: 94067971, LC Classification: BT202.H83 1994; Dewey Class No. 232 20.

I AM A CHRISTIAN BECAUSE BY THE GRACE OF GOD WHO CALLS ME. I AM A CHRISTIAN BY CHOICE. I AM A CHRISTIAN BECAUSE MY GOD AND SAVIOR LOVES ME AND SAVES ME AND I WANT TO BE WITH MY LORD FOR ETERNITY IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.

1Pe 3:15, “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear.”

Defense in Greek is apologia which means verbal defense, speech in defense; a reasoned statement or argument (Strong’s Concordance); a plea; apology; answer; something that is said or written to defend something that other people criticize (Merriam Webster); apologia; which occurs 8 times in the New Testament.

Reason in Greek is logos which means word; saying; account; thought; declaration; mandate; dictum; doctrine; teaching; the mental faculty of thinking; consideration; explanation; ground; cause; discourse; rationale; - which occurs 330 times in the New Testament.

Christians are told to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in them, with meekness and fear.

This article is written to let you know what a Christian is, what a Christian is not, and how and why to become a Christian, etc.

Note: Sanctify in Greek is hagiazō which means to hallow; to make holy; to render or acknowledge hallow; to separate from profane things and dedicate to God; to consecrate to God; to purify internally by renewing of the soul; to venerate; to declare sacred; - which occurs 26 times in the New Testament. A Christian is a believer who is cleansed by the precious blood of Jesus Christ and sanctified by the Holy Spirit. A person who is devoid of the Holy Spirit is not a Christian, even though he may be a president or a prime minister, a pimp or prostitute, a theologian or a philosopher. I sanctify the Lord God in my heart, that is why I must give a defense to everyone a reason for the hope that is in me, with meekness and fear. The Christian faith needs to be defended because there are too many falsehoods, lies, deceits and false teachings and false religions in the world. I think the most pitiable person is a false preacher who becomes rich. Christianity is not superstition or delusion, it is a reasonable faith. Hope in Greek is elpis which means faith; expectation of good; joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation; - which occurs 54 times in the New Testament. Christians have the blessed hope of the second coming of Christ and the Kingdom of Heaven. Hereby I separate myself from profane things and dedicate to God by renewing of my soul, I have prepared to give a defense to the whole world a reason for the hope that is in me, with meekness and fear. With meekness because of my limited knowledge of God and Christ, with fear for I may fall short to accomplish the purpose.

For the sake of simplicity, we may distinguish two types of reason for action: Rational reasons are reasons which lead to or justify an action, after objective deliberation. Motivating reasons are reasons which drive an individual to take a special action, moved by a motive. The reason why I am a Christian is employed by both rational reasoning as well as motivating reasoning. I have found most of the people in this world are motivated by money or gain, I am motivated by the truth only to write this article, it has nothing to do with money. We do not want donation, we only want you to know the truth. Based on my theory of IVP (Man is a tripartite of INTELLIGENCE, VALUE, and PERSONALITY), my decision of becoming a Christian is influenced by my philosophical made-up of intelligence, value, and personality. It is equally true to say that I am a Christian is influenced by my theological tripartite of BODY, SOUL, and SPIRIT. My body, soul, and spirit concur that I must become a Christian.

There is one major distinction or difference in becoming a Christian than in deciding to do any task. Practical reasoning engages in deliberating about what to do and how to do it. No one becomes a Christian in deliberating how to do it. It is an answer to the divine call, it is a leap of faith. A beginning believer might not know the whole process of salvation (passing from spiritual death to life), from redemption (atonement and forgiveness of sins) to regeneration (new birth or born again), to sanctification (positionally and conditionally made holy in Christ) , and finally to glorification (sharing the glory with Christ in the eternal Kingdom of God). You do not need to know all about the process of salvation from start to finish. A baby needs only to be born to have life, it does not need to know how to be born. You must be born again. When a baby is born, she does not know how she is born. She is born and instantly becomes a human being. When a man repents and believes in Jesus Christ, the new birth is instantaneous; when the Holy Spirit gives life to a believer, he becomes a Christian, a child of God. It is not so much the natural process about reason in guiding a person to believe in Jesus Christ, it is more the powerful influence of the Holy Spirit to guide a man in receiving the Kingdom of God like a child, and receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. No man is saved by the faculty of reason, that is why secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers are far away from the Kingdom of God. Jhn 1:17, “For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.”

To receive Jesus Christ is to receive grace and truth. Without grace and truth no one can be saved. Truth is the fact you cannot save yourself, and no one can save you; but Jesus Christ came down from Heaven to save sinners. Grace is the fact that salvation is a gift of God, without merit and without work, to believe in Jesus Christ the Son of God is to receive life freely. Tons of reason cannot save you. Eph 2:8, “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.” Grace is Greek is charis which means unmerited favor; pleasure; good will; loving-kindness; merciful kindness of God; divine benefit; kindness which bestows upon one what he/she has not deserved; benefaction; reward; - which occurs 159 times in the New Testament. Gift in Greek is dōron which means offering; a present without cost; a sacrifice; - which occurs 19 times in the New Testament. Boast in Greek is kauchaomai which means to glory; to brag; to make boast; to rejoice; to take pride for; - which occurs 39 times in the New Testament. You are saved by grace through faith in Christ, it is a gift of God; not as a result of your works or merit, so that no one can boast.

I. DRAWN BY GOD

Jhn 6:65, “And He was saying, “For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father.”

Note: Christianity is the reasonable faith. Truth is reasonable. Lies are abnormal. Unless granted me from the Father, I cannot come to Jesus Christ by myself. Everyone needs permission from the Father to come to Jesus for salvation.

Jhn 6:44, “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day.”

Note: By grace God draws me to Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. Even if I die, Jesus will raise me up on the last day, the day He returns to earth.

Rom 8:28, “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”

Note: All things work together to me who was called according to the purpose of God. All things work together to me who was called according to the purpose of God. If you repent and believe God can cause all things work together for your good.

Rom 8:30, “and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified.”

Note: By grace God predestined and called me, also justified. Some day when Jesus Christ returns I will have glory with Christ. You can have all these too.

Gal 4:9, “But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things, to which you desire to be enslaved all over again?”

Note: Religion, superstition, false belief, ideology, theology and so-called philosophy and science can enslave people. No man can by his own wisdom and effort come to know God. For that reason, secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers still do not know God. It is not me who have come to know God, or rather I was known by God before the foundation of the world.

Jhn 6:44, “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day.”

Note: By grace God draws me to Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. Even though I may die physically, Christ will raise me up on the last day.

Jhn 15:16, “You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you.”

Note: I did not choose Christ, but Christ chose me although unworthy as I am.

1Co 1:24, “but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.”

Note: I was called to know Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

Gal 1:15-16, “But when God, who had set me apart even from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace, was pleased to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with flesh and blood.”

Note: I would not dare to compare myself with Paul and say like Paul that God who had set me apart even from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace. I can say for sure that God called me through His grace. I knew His grace from childhood for God saved me from drowning and from eaten by a crocodile. Throughout my life from childhood to old age, I can sincerely testify the good Lord who saved me many times from dangers, deaths and difficulties. This convinces me how precious and wonderful it is to be a child of God, to have God as your Heavenly Father. To reveal in Greek is apokalyptō which means to uncover, lay open what has been veiled or covered up; to disclose; to make bare; to make known; to make manifest; to disclose what was before unknown; to take off the cover; to uncover; to lay open; to make known through the divine inspiration; - which occurs 27 times in the New Testament. No one can by his own efforts or wisdom to know Jesus Christ is the Son of God, God must reveal Himself through the Holy Spirit.

If you understand the Word of God, Eph 1:4, “just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love.” We Christians cannot say we chose God. I humbly say God chose me in Christ before the foundation of the world in love. I cannot thank God enough for all His mercy, grace, lovingkindness, salvation, blessing and everything. Eph 2:8, “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.” There is nothing in me or what I do that deserves the grace of God. I am saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Eternal life is the gift of God, not of my own merit or work.

Rom 9:15-16, “For He says to Moses, “I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I HAVE COMPASSION.” So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy.”

Note: Have mercy in Greek is eleeō which means to show compassion; to have pity on; to show mercy; to bring help to the wretched; to compassionate; to succor the afflicted; - which occurs 63 times in the New Testament. To have compassion in Greek is oiktirō which means to pity; to exercise pity; - which occurs 4 times in the New Testament. There is nothing good in me to deserve the mercy or compassion of the Lord. Will in Greek is thelō which means to desire; would have; to intend; to have in mind; to purpose; to wish; to delight in; to choose or prefer; - which occurs 212 times in the New Testament. Run in Greek is trechō which means to exert oneself; to spend one’s strength in attaining something; to have course; to walk hastily; to strive hard; - which occurs 21 times in the New Testament. In the sight of God, it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy. So the fact that I am saved by grace does not depend on me who wills or on me who runs, but on God who has mercy on me. That is the meaning I was drawn by God.

Psa 127:1, “A Song of Ascents, of Solomon.
Unless the LORD builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless the LORD guards the city,
The watchman keeps awake in vain.”

Note: Build in Hebrew is banah which means to make; to set up; to establish; to erect a house; to construct; - which occurs 377 times in the Old Testament. Labor in Hebrew is `amal which means to toil; to work hard; - which occurs 11 times in the Old Testament. Guard in Hebrew is shamar which means to keep; to watch; to preserve; to save; to protect; to be on one’s guard; to attend to; to keep safe; - which occurs 475 times in the Old Testament. This is an amazing truth which secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers might not know. Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who built it; unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman keeps awake in vain. There are Western leaders and politicians who believe their nuclear weapons can protect them. They may awake in ashes. I do not want to labor in vain, so I ask the Lord to build the house of my life. I do not want to keep awake in vain, so I ask the Lord to protect me.

How do I know the existence of God? No man can by human reason and wisdom find God. God is beyond the reason and wisdom of man. God is Spirit, beyond the realm and range of scientists and philosophers. Laying aside all the knowledge and experiences I have acquired in my life, I know God is true because He answers my prayers. I can testify personally that my life is a testimony of God’s many answered prayers. Without the existence and grace of God, since childhood I would have been dead long time ago. I live because my Redeemer lives. I did not find God by my own efforts, God found me before the foundation of the world.

God exists beyond the possibility of doubt. It is easier for me to doubt whether I exist or not than to doubt the existence of God. The fool says there is no God. How do I know I exist? Rene Descartes said, “Cogito Ergo Sum” which translated into English as “I think, therefore I am.” A Chinese philosopher said, “I think of the butterfly, and the butterfly thinks of me. I am not sure I am the butterfly, or the butterfly is me.” I exist by the grace and will of God.

Although the word “grace” is defined accurately as the unmerited favor of God toward man, in Biblical parlance it can mean the totality of God’s benevolent and compassionate activity toward an unworthy man such as I am. In accordance with grace through which God draws me to Himself before the foundation of the world.

The concept of grace first occurs in Genesis 6:8-9, “But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD. These are the records of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his time; Noah walked with God.”

Note: Favor in Hebrew is chen which means grace; acceptance; graciousness; kindness; good will; - which occurs 69 times in the Old Testament. The historical context of the days of Noah was: Gen 6:5-7, “Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. The LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. The LORD said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them.”

See in Hebrew is ra'ah which means to look at; to behold; to perceive; to consider; to respect; to regard; to find out; to observe; to have vision; to appear; to present oneself; to discern; to think; to view; to understand; which occurs 1,308 times in the Old Testament. Wickedness in Hebrew is ra` which means evil; mischief; bad; ill; trouble; harm; displeasing; viciousness; wrong; calamity; distress; wretchedness; badness; noxiousness; - which occurs 690 times in the Old Testament. Evil Western leaders and politicians and terrorists, God sees your wickedness no matter how much you lie, lie, and lie. Evil in Hebrew is the same as wickedness. This is a great truth: The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. In God’s sight or in the eyes of the Lord what is wicked or evil is decided and determined. Morality (Good or Bad) is not the view of man, it is God who determines and decides what is right or wrong, good or evil. When God says it is wicked, it is wicked. This assumes the notion Psa 53:2, “God looks down from Heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.” Why Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord? Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his time; Noah walked with God.

Moses is another person found unmerited favor in the sight of the Lord. Exo 33:12-14, “Then Moses said to the LORD, “See, You say to me, ‘Bring up this people!’ But You Yourself have not let me know whom You will send with me. Moreover, You have said, ‘I have known you by name, and you have also found favor in My sight.’ “Now therefore, I pray You, if I have found favor in Your sight, let me know Your ways that I may know You, so that I may find favor in Your sight. Consider too, that this nation is Your people.” Remember, God's ways are not man's ways. And He said, “My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest.” The sine qua non of finding favor in God’s sight is first to know God by knowing His ways. To know God’s ways is to follow God. God says to Moses, Exo 33:19, “And He said, “I Myself will make all My goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of the LORD before you; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show compassion on whom I will show compassion.” Do you know what is the problem with secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers, etc.? They think they are so important to deserve God to show them a special favor! Anyone who does not realize that he is unmerited and unworthy, salvation is far from him.

Another person in the Old Testament found favor before God is David. Act 7:46-47, “David found favor in God’s sight, and asked that he might find a dwelling place for the God of Jacob. But it was Solomon who built a house for Him.”

Note: Favor in Greek is charis which means grace; pleasure; good will; loving-kindness; merciful kindness of God; benefit; reward; the divine influence upon the heart; kindness which bestows upon one what he has not deserved; benefaction; - which occurs 159 times in the New Testament. The life of David magnified the grace of God. Act 13:22, “After He had removed him, He raised up David to be their king, concerning whom He also testified and said, ‘I HAVE FOUND DAVID the son of Jesse, A MAN AFTER MY HEART, who will do all My will.” David was man after God’s heart because David did the will of God.

It is un-scriptural and wrong to say the idea of grace can be said to be largely a Pauline one. Jhn 1:17, “For the Law was given through Moses; but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.”Jhn 1:14, “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.” Whether Paul or John, Biblical ideas do not come from them, but inspired by the Holy Spirit. Luke wrote the Gospel in consecutive order. Luk 1:3, “it seemed fitting for me as well, having investigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write it out for you in consecutive order, most excellent Theophilus.” However, Luke describes the growth of Child Jesus with an emphasis on the grace of God. Luk 2:40, “The Child continued to grow and become strong, increasing in wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.”

This is a sample of the New Testament teachings on GRACE:

And with great power the apostles were giving testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and abundant grace was upon them all. (Act 4:33)

And Stephen, full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and signs among the people. (Act 6:8)

Then when he arrived and witnessed the grace of God, he rejoiced and began to encourage them all with resolute heart to remain true to the Lord. (Act 11:23)

Now when the meeting of the synagogue had broken up, many of the Jews and of the God-fearing proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, were urging them to continue in the grace of God. (Act 13:43)

Therefore they spent a long time there speaking boldly with reliance upon the Lord, who was testifying to the Word of His grace, granting that signs and wonders be done by their hands. (Act 14:3)

From there they sailed to Antioch, from which they had been commended to the grace of God for the work that they had accomplished. (Act 14:26)

But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they also are. (Act 15:11)

But Paul chose Silas and left, being committed by the brethren to the grace of the Lord. (Act 15:40)

And when he (Apollos) wanted to go across to Achaia, the brethren encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him; and when he had arrived, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace, for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, demonstrating by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ. (Act 18:27-28)

But I (Paul) do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify solemnly of the Gospel of the grace of God. (Act 20:24)

And now I (Paul) commend you to God and to the Word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified. (Act 20:32)

Through Jesus Christ we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for His name’s sake. ( Rom 1:5)

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus. (Rom 3:23-24)

For this reason it is by faith, in order that it may be in accordance with grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed to all the descendants, not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all. (Rom 4:16)

Through our Lord Jesus Christ also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we exult in hope of the glory of God. (Rom 5:2)

But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many. (Rom 5:15)

For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. (Rom 5:17) The Law came in so that the transgression would increase, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more. (Rom 5:20)

So that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Rom 5:21)

For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace. (Rom 6:14)

For through the grace given to me I (Paul) say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think, but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith. (Rom 12:3)

Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly: if prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith. (Rom 12:6)

But I have written very boldly to you on some points so as to remind you again, because of the grace that was given me from God. (Rom 15:15)

The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. (Rom 16:20)

I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus. (1Co 1:4)

According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it. (1Co 3:10)

By the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain, but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me.(1Co 15:10)

For our proud confidence is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and godly sincerity, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you. (2Co 1:12)

For all things are for your sakes, so that the grace which is spreading to more and more people may cause the giving of thanks to abound to the glory of God. (2Co 4:15)

And working together with Him, we also urge you not to receive the grace of God in vain--. (2Co 6:1)

Now, brethren, we wish to make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the churches of Macedonia. (2Co 8:1)

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich. (2Co 8:9)

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always have all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed. (2Co 9:8)

While they also, by prayer on your behalf, yearn for you because of the surpassing grace of God in you. (2Co 9:14)

And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. (2Co 12:9)

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. (2Co 13:14)

I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel. (Gal 1:6)

But when God, who had set me apart even from my mother's womb and called me through His grace, was pleased. (Gal 1:15)

And recognizing the grace that had been given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we might go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.(Gal 2:9)

I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly. (Gal 2:21)

You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. (Gal 5:4)

To the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. (Eph 1:6)

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace. (Eph 1:7)

Even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved). (Eph 2:5)

So that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.(Eph 2:7)

For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God. (Eph 2:8)

If indeed you have heard of the stewardship of God's grace which was given to me for you. (Eph 3:2)

For it is only right for me to feel this way about you all, because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of grace with me. (Phl 1:7)

Which has come to you, just as in all the world also it is constantly bearing fruit and increasing, even as it has been doing in you also since the day you heard of it and understood the grace of God in truth. (Col 1:6)

You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. (2Ti 2:1)

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men. (Tit 2:11)

Note: The grace of God has appeared when Jesus Christ appeared on the earth. It is because the grace of God, salvation is brought to all men. When the Bible says all men, it does not mean men only, it also means women and children. It means all mankind. When Jesus came grace and truth came. Jesus Christ brings salvation to all mankind for He is the Savior of the world. All people who repent and believe in Jesus Christ can be saved. John Calvin was wrong to say God only predetermined some people to be saved. Whoever believes in Jesus Christ shall be saved.

So that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (Tit 3:7)

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. (Phm 1:25)

But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone. (Heb 2:9)

Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. (Heb 4:16)

How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? (Heb 10:29)

See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled. (Heb 12:15)

Do not be carried away by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited. (Heb 13:9)

If you know the sound teachings of the Holy Bible, you will find the teachings of all religions and men are strange.

But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.” (Jas 4:6)

God is opposed to Western leaders and politicians because not only they are proud, they lie, lie, and lie; kill, kill, and kill; rob, rob and rob many nations and peoples. They are so arrogant and self-conceited, speak and act as if they are the dictators of the world. The West has ruled the world in the last 500 years to the present.

As to this salvation, the prophets who prophesied of the grace that would come to you made careful searches and inquiries. (1Pe 1:10)

Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. (1Pe 1:13)

You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered. (1Pe 3:7)

As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. (1Pe 4:10)

You younger men, likewise, be subject to your elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE. (1Pe 5:5)

Have you ever met a humble Western leader or politician? God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you. (1Pe 5:10)

Through Silvanus, our faithful brother (for so I regard him), I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it! (1Pe 5:12)

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen. (2Pe 3:18)

For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. (Jde 1:4)

It is through this grace of our God, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, I was drawn by the mercy of God, by grace I have been saved through faith in Jesus Christ, into this grace which I stand as a fellow heir of the grace of life, and by the grace of God I am what I am. In other words, I am a Christian by the grace of God.

This is important for you to know: I am a Christian not because I hold a high position in any organized church; not because I attended a seminary majoring in Apologetics; not because I expound some lofty branch of philosophy; not because I have been paid by some church, government, or any institution. The most important reason that I am a Christian is simply this: I was blind, now I see. Jhn 9:25, “He then answered, “Whether He is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.” I was not blind physically, I was blind intellectually and spiritually. Now the Lord has enlightened the eyes of my heart (Eph 1:18) that I see the Majestic Glory of God in Jesus Christ and ever since I have been fixing my eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of faith (Heb 12:2), and seeing no one, except Jesus alone.

Psa 96:10, “ Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns;
Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved;
He will judge the peoples with equity.”

Psa 96:11, “ Let the Heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
Let the sea roar, and all it contains.”

II. NO HOPE IN THIS WORLD

Job 14:1-2, “Man, who is born of woman,
Is short-lived and full of turmoil. Like a flower he comes forth and withers. He also flees like a shadow and does not remain.”

Note: Every man is born of woman. Same sex marriage cannot give birth to a life. The life of a man (human) is short-lived and full of turmoil. Turmoil in Hebrew is rogez which means trouble; noise; rage; fear; wrath; agitation; vexation; trembling; trepidation; disquiet; restlessness; anger; perturbation; tumult; - which occurs 7 times in the Old Testament. Whose life in this world is free from fear and trouble? A beautiful woman is like a flower that comes forth and withers. That is why the worst fear of all beautiful actresses is old age - when a flower withers. The strongest man flees like a shadow and does not remain. The contingent and fragile existence of life in the universe is a problem to all thinking men of all ages and places. What is life? Who says life is ambiguous? Life is obvious with short span and full of troubles!

The story or situation of the life of Naomi cited below and people related to her provide a vivid example of what the true meaning of hope is:

Rth 1:11-13, “But Naomi said, “Return, my daughters. Why should you go with me? Have I yet sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands? Return, my daughters! Go, for I am too old to have a husband. If I said I have hope, if I should even have a husband tonight and also bear sons, would you therefore wait until they were grown? Would you therefore refrain from marrying? No, my daughters; for it is harder for me than for you, for the hand of the LORD has gone forth against me.”

Note: Hope in Hebrew is tiqvah which means expectation; the thing that one longs for; ground of hope; expectation of fulfillment; - which occurs 34 times in the Old Testament. Refrain in Hebrew is `agan which means to stay; to debar; to remain shut up; - which occurs 1 time in the Old Testament. The reason is so poignant and the emotion so touching. Naomi lost her two sons. She is going back to Judah. But her two daughters-in-law want to go with Naomi. Naomi provides the reason for them to return to their own homes. Because Naomi is too old to have a husband. Even if she has hope to have a husband tonight and also bear sons, would her daughters-in-law wait until they were grown and refrain from marrying? The reality is so cruel, and the hope is impossible.

Heb 11:16, “But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a Heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He has prepared a City for them.”

Note: From childhood I already realized the undesirability and unpleasantness of the world that I imagined visiting the Paradise outside of the world. I could make up stories of the Paradise and told my brothers and sisters about them. Of course it was a childish fantasy. When I became a man I realized the imaginary Paradise does not exist. By faith I believe the Heavenly Country and the Holy City the New Jerusalem God has prepared for His children. In 1975-76 I went to the most advanced countries in the world (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, England, France, Germany) to look for a better country than the United States of America. Where I developed a Theory of Good Society, and at that time I believed Norway was the closest to a Good Society. Since then the more I know about the world, the more I know there is no hope in this world. So I became a citizen of Heaven waiting for the coming of Jesus Christ to establish the Kingdom of God on earth.

A Good Society is made of five imperatives, namely Liberty, Prosperity, Equality, Security and Civility. These five variables are not achievable as long as human nature is evil. Good Society is not achievable as long as Washington, Wall Street, Hollywood, military-industrial-security complex and Islamic terrorists dictate and dominate the world. Do not be surprised there are people who do not want Liberty, Prosperity, Equality, Security and Civility for the world. They may want liberty, prosperity and security for themselves. They do not want liberty, prosperity, equality, security and civility for others. Western democracy has proved to be a great failure and fiasco in this world. Their idea of democracy is 1% of population controls 99% of the population. In the last 500 years or more the evil deeds done by Western powers to the world are incalculable and immeasurable. What is born of the flesh is flesh. What is born of the flesh does not want to build a good society. Christians are not told to build the Kingdom of God on earth. The Kingdom of God must come down from Heaven when Jesus Christ comes again to judge the world and reign with the saints.

2Co 5:1, “For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens.”

Note: Our body is the earthly tent. After the resurrection what Christians will have is a glorious, immortal, and spiritual body which is eternal in the Heavens. What Christians will have in the life to come the world does not have.

1Ch 29:15, “For we are sojourners before You, and tenants, as all our fathers were; our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no hope.”

Note: Sojourner in Hebrew is ger which means stranger; alien; a temporary inhabitant; a foreigner; a person living out of his country; a nomad; a temporary visitor; - which occurs 92 times in the Old Testament. Tenant in Hebrew is towshab which means sojourner; strangers; alien; foreigner; temporary inhabitant; a dweller, not a native citizen; mere lodger; resident alien; a temporary inmate; an emigrant; a renter; - which occurs 15 times in the Old Testament. In the sight of God, we are sojourners and tenants. Our days on the earth are like a shadow, no matter who you are, there is no hope. US$130 billion cannot buy hope of one hour longer.

Ecc 7:15, “I have seen everything during my lifetime of futility; there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his wickedness.”

Note: During your lifetime of futility, you may see strange things: there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his wickedness. I can now think of a treacherous man who pretends to be a Christian but he worships idols in public and he was old. Finally, he died.

GOD SAVED ME FROM CHILDHOOD

Psa 56:9, “Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call;
This I know, that God is for me.”

Note: Since childhood I have learned that God is for me. When I was a boy I did not realize danger. So I hold the theory that every child is born stupid, parents better take care and educate their ignorant children. I was almost drowned and eaten by a crocodile. In my struggling under water I prayed God to save me. I was not sophisticated to know that when you pray, you do not need to cry out verbally. The more I cried out, the more water I swallowed because I did not know how to swim. The Lord miraculously saved me from death. To make a long story short, the most dreadful experience of death awoke me from spiritual slumber, I began to think seriously about the meaning of life as young as I was. I could not see salvation in any other. Therefore, I answered the call and follow Jesus Christ my Lord and my God ever since.

Psa 118:6, “The LORD is for me; I will not fear;
What can man do to me?”

Note: The Lord is for me; I will not fear. This is one of the many reasons that I am a Christian. When God is for me, what can man do to me? Drop atomic bomb on me? Mat 10:28, “Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Hell.” The greatest fear of man is death. If a Christian does not fear death, what else he needs to fear? As a Christian, I am not afraid of the coming nuclear war. As a Christian, I am not afraid of the terror coming to the world. As a Christian, I am not afraid of the future because I know God holds the future. Freedom from fear of death is what secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers do not have and do not know. Heb 2:14-15, “Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives.” People who fear death are subject to slavery all their lives. Poor people may not fear death because they have nothing to lose. Washington, Wall Street, Hollywood executives and military-industrial-security complex are afraid to die because they have so much in the world. All rich and powerful people are afraid to die. Islamic terrorists do not fear death because they believe in a lie that after death they go to paradise to have sex with many virgins.

Tit 3:5, “He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit.”

Note: Christ saved me, not on the basis of deeds which I have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit. A Christian has the Holy Spirit in him; secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers do not have the Holy Spirit in them.

Eph 2:5, “even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved).”

Note: I am Christian because I have been saved by grace, made alive together with Christ.

Eph 2:8, “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.”

Note: With all my heart and soul, without fear, I receive the gift of God. I am a Christian by choice, I am a Christian by grace.

GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS

Unless you are an American and live half a century in America, you would not understand how serious is poverty. There was a time when American economy was so bad that even a Ph.D. became a taxi driver and millions of professionals were laid off and unemployed for a long period of time. I was so worried of becoming a homeless beggar. Foreigners do not really know the high cost of living in America. One day I read the Scripture, Psa 37:25,

“I have been young and now I am old,
Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken
Or his descendants begging bread.”

Note: The Word of God cheered me up, and I rested on the promise of God. I communicated to my Lord and said I was a descendant of the righteous, my parents were missionaries and asked the Lord not to let me begging bread. I can testify to the fact although I was not rich, all my life I had never been a beggar, and I have never looked for food in other people’s garbage. Those who put their trust in the Lord will not be put to shame. If God answers prayers one or two times, that may be coincident. If God has answered my prayers all my life and may be more than a million times, they could not be coincidental. Wonderful is the privilege of every child of God, you can pray to our Heavenly Father anytime anywhere.

Most people in the world do not know, in the land of the free, you are free to be shot, free to be mugged, free to be threatened, free to be raped, free to be robbed, free to be abused and oppressed, free to be discriminated, free to be laid off or unemployed, free to be defrauded and slaughtered by doctors and hospitals, free to become desperate and homeless. If you are unemployed for a few months, you will lose your home or apartment and free to be homeless in the street! Western society is an alienated society, everyone for himself. When you are doing well, you have plenty of friends. When you are in need, you are alone. I am a Christian by choice, my Heavenly Father is taking care of me all my life. A worldly man may say, “I celebrate myself, and sing myself." But a humble Christian will always declare, Psa 13:6, “I will sing to the LORD, because He has looked after me.”

1Jo 3:2, “Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.”

Note: It is a matter of time, when Jesus Christ appears, Christians will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.

1Jo 5:15, “And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.”

The human life on earth is so dark and desperate, difficult and dangerous, life is full of vicissitudes, and death is certain and there are so many evil people to oppress you -- there is not a glimpse of hope anywhere. 1Ch 29:15, “For we are sojourners before You, and tenants, as all our fathers were; our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no hope.”

Note: Sojourner in Hebrew is ger which means stranger; alien; a temporary inhabitant; a foreigner; a person living out of his country; a nomad; - which occurs 92 times in the Old Testament. I am a sojourner in China because I cannot afford to retire in America. Tenant in Hebrew is towshab which means sojourner; renter; stranger; alien; foreigner; a temporary inmate; mere lodger; resident alien; an emigrant; - which occurs 15 times in the Old Testament. I know what it means to be tenant. All my life in America for almost half a century I was only a tenant renting an apartment. I do not know exactly how much is the most expensive mansion in the world. Some mansions are priced at more than several hundred millions of dollars each. I can assure you the most expensive mansions in the world cannot compare with the mansions God has prepared in Heaven. Let me illustrate the point. I have seen the largest diamond in the world although I do not own it. What kind of mansions God had prepared for the saints in Heaven? 1Co 2:9, “but just as it is written,
“THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD,
AND which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN,
ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.” Here the Word of God says to the owners of the most expensive mansions on earth. You are sojourners and tenants, there is no hope for you! The richest and most powerful people in this world, and there is no hope for them. Hear ye, hear ye, rich people of Washington, Wall Street and Hollywood!

Note: Hope in Hebrew is miqveh which means abiding; something waited for; confidence; gathering together; expectation; - which occurs 12 times in the Old Testament.

Ezr 10:2, “Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, said to Ezra, “We have been unfaithful to our God and have married foreign women from the peoples of the land; yet now there is hope for Israel in spite of this.”

Note: Although Israel is surrounded by enemies, there is hope for Israel. God is the refuge and protector of Israel. God will fight for Jerusalem. Palestinians and Hamas have no right of resettlement. Palestinians are Arabs who have no part or portion in the Promised Land. It is wise for Palestinians, Arabs and Hamas to seek statehood or residency in neighboring Arab states, not in the Jewish lands.

Job 7:6, “My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle,
And come to an end without hope.”

Note: Every man his days are swifter than a weaver’ shuttle. I remember yesterday I was young, today I am old. Every man’s life comes to end without hope. Can the rich and powerful hope their lives will not come to an end? Can a man buy one hour longer with $130 billion?

Job 8:13, “So are the paths of all who forget God;
And the hope of the godless will perish.”

Note: The executives of Washington, Wall Street, Hollywood, military-industrial-security complex although own most of the power and wealth in the world are godless on the paths who forget God and will perish.

Job 11:20, “But the eyes of the wicked will fail,
And there will be no escape for them;
And their hope is to breathe their last.”

Note: The eyes of the wicked will fail to see a glimpse of hope, there will be no escape for them; and their hope is to breathe their last.

Job 27:8, “For what is the hope of the godless when he is cut off,
When God requires his life?”

Note: Secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers are godless people. What is their hope when they are cut off? When God requires their lives?

Psa 33:17, “A horse is a false hope for victory;
Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.”

Note: Western powers believe their nuclear weapons are their protector, their nuclear horse is their guarantee for victory. The U.S. even has a “RAND PLAN” to wage war against China and win. God says, your horse is a false hope for victory, nor does it deliver anyone by its great military strength. American president and congressional leaders are most dangerous people who seek absolute military superiority in order to destroy other nations so that they can dictate and dominate the world.

Psa 62:10, “Do not trust in oppression
And do not vainly hope in robbery;
If riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.”

Note: Western powers trust in their military strength, political power and financial monopoly to oppress other nations, they kill innocent peoples, and they commit robbery to increase their riches. They rejoice to dictate and dominate the world. Although China never competes with them, they call China a rival power.

Job 14:19, “Water wears away stones,
Its torrents wash away the dust of the earth;
So You destroy man's hope.”

Note: As water wears away stones, so God will destroy man’s hope.

Job 19:10, “He breaks me down on every side, and I am gone; and He has uprooted my hope like a tree.”

Note: As God breaks things down on every side, the Western democracy is breaking down in America and Europe. God will uproot the hope of superpower and Western powers and warmongers like a tree. Look around and see if you can rest securely anywhere in the word, if there is any hope?

Not only there is no hope in the world, there are plenty of fears.

Job 3:25, “For what I fear comes upon me,
And what I dread befalls me.”

Note: Is there anything worse than what you fear comes upon you, and what you dread befalls you? That is the desperation of this world.

Psa 55:5, “Fear and trembling come upon me,
And horror has overwhelmed me.”

Note: Fear and trembling come upon all men, and horror has overwhelmed the whole world.

Eph 2:12, “remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.”

Note: This is the true situation in the world for those who are separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise: All unbelievers and non-Christians have no hope and without God in this world.

HOPELESSNESS

The gravity of death, the appalling terror of a certain sort, and seemingly the final tragedy is the lot of all. Despair, disappointment, difficulty, danger, and death cover the whole human race without discrimination. Life in this world has become more and more widely looked upon as a sort of worthless phenomenon, meaningless existence and devoid of any intrinsic value. The Western values in the pursuit of money, power, and sex end up vanity of vanities. “Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher, “Vanity of vanities! All is vanity.”

No one has power to fight against the power of death which exerts over all men, and death becomes an overwhelming mystery, a dark valley that most people who are unbelievers are afraid to walk through.

Wealth does not offer hope, power does not offer hope, science does not offer hope, philosophy does not offer hope, and religion does not offer hope in this world. Nothing in this world offers hope. Finally, in hopelessness I find hope in God and in Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior.

Psa 38:15, “For I hope in You, O LORD;
You will answer, O Lord my God.”

Note: I hope in God. God will answer to all my needs, questions and problems.

Psa 18:2, “The LORD is my Rock and my Fortress and my Deliverer,
My God, my Rock, in whom I take refuge;
My Shield and the Horn of my salvation, my Stronghold.”

Note: Take refuge in Hebrew is chacah which means to trust; to have hope; to make a refuge; to flee for protection; to put trust in; to confide in; under the shadow of the wings of God; to seek protection from danger and distress; - which occurs 74 times in the Old Testament. I find refuge in the Lord my Rock, my Fortress, my Deliverer, my Shield, my Stronghold, and my God.

Psa 27:1, “A Psalm of David.
The LORD is my Light and my Salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the Defense of my life;
Whom shall I dread?”

Note: The Lord is my Light and my Salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the Defense of my life; whom shall I dread? Those who have God as their Light and Salvation, have nothing to fear. Those who have the Lord as the Defense of their life, have nobody to dread.

Psa 118:21, “I shall give thanks to You, for You have answered me,
And You have become my salvation.”

Note: I cannot find answer in science, philosophy, religion, wealth, power, pleasure or in anything else. God has answered me and God has become my salvation.

Isa 12:2, “Behold, God is my salvation,
I will trust and not be afraid;
For the LORD GOD is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation.”

Note: God is my salvation, my strength and song, I will trust and not be afraid.

Psa 73:26, “My flesh and my heart may fail,
But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”

Note: No matter who you are; president, prime minister, pimp, prostitute, or terrorist; the day is coming when your flesh and heart may fail.

Though my flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Job 19:25-26,“As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives,
And at the last He will take His stand on the earth. Even after my skin is destroyed, yet from my flesh I shall see God.”

Note: I know everyone will die and everything will perish. As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last He will reign on the earth. Even my body is dead, yet I shall see God. Hope reflects a man’s belief, aspiration, attitude, motivation, intention, expectation, outlook, worldview, and action. Hope in God is the surest thing.

FEARS

Pro 10:24, “What the wicked fears will come upon him,
But the desire of the righteous will be granted.”

Note: What most people fear, the wicked also fears. Most people fear of catastrophic diseases such as terminal cancer, leukemia, heart attack or stroke, kidney failure, AIDS, major burns, trauma with residual paralysis or coma, autoimmune disorders, Rickettsia diseases, etc. All you need to do is to take a trip to a hospital that allows you to see patients suffering terminal diseases. America has the highest healthcare cost in the world, compounded by the fraudulent and predatory practices and medical system that does not disclose medical and hospital costs in advance to patients. The American healthcare system has bankrupted millions of American families without recourse. The day of judgement is coming and God will execute justice. In 2021 COVID-19 pandemic still terrorizes millions and many died.

COVID-19 CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC

Last updated: 2021-11-25 09:48:06 UTC+7

Coronavirus Cases:

259,699,497

Deaths:

5,191,762

USA CASES: 48,969,792

DEATHS: 798,242

In addition to the fear of terrible diseases, people have many other fears. I tell you what most Americans fear: nuclear war, terrorist attack, forest fire, vicious crimes, earthquake, poverty, unemployment, loss of home or apartment, loss of loved ones, discrimination, injustice, corruption, high cost of living, high cost of medical care, inflation, financial crisis, epidemic, famine, bombing, natural and man-made disasters. Let me tell you of my personal experience of almost living half a century in America. There was a period of time when American economic condition was so bad that even a Ph.D. cannot find a job and became a taxi driver, and millions of professionals were laid off or unemployed for a long period of time. I was so afraid of becoming a homeless beggar. One day I read the Scripture which says, Psa 37:25, “I have been young and now I am old, Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken
Or his descendants begging bread.”

I was encouraged by the Word of God and trusted the good Lord will not let me begging bread or become a homeless person living on the streets. I prayed to the Lord that I am a descendant of the righteous, a son of poor missionaries. I asked the Lord not to forsake me. Thank God although I was not rich, the Lord had seen me through many struggles and difficulties in my life, but I had never been a beggar. Unless you live a half century in America, you do not know the high cost of living or realize how serious is poverty in America, and how easy one can become a homeless person living on the streets. A serious illness can also send you to the streets by the mercy and greed of doctors and hospitals.

Zep 3:15, “The LORD has taken away His judgments against you,
He has cleared away your enemies.
The King of Israel, the LORD, is in your midst;
You will fear disaster no more.”

In addition to fear of terrible diseases, poverty, people also fear disaster, natural and man-made disasters.

Luk 21:26, “men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.”

Note: It does not take an eschatological prophet to tell you, men everywhere are fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world. Everybody knows the nuclear war is coming. The rich are afraid to die because they have much property and possessions. The poor do not fear of dying because they have nothing. But the poor also go to Hell after death if they have not believed and repented. People are also afraid what other people can do to them. Your boss can fire you. Your friends can betray you. Your husband can divorce you. Your children can abandon you. Also what your enemy can do to you. Your neighbor and business can sue you without cause. You can be the victim of violent crimes. The people of the world also fear of other man-made and natural disasters. You can watch on TV and see what tornado, hurricane, typhoon, flood, forest fire, drought, epidemic, earthquake, tsunami, etc. can do to the people. Among all the fears, fear of aging, fear of loneliness, fear of the future, fear of ghosts and spirits, fear of bankruptcy, fear of pain, and fear of death -- the last two probably are the most dreadful fears. You do not know what pain is until you suffer kidney stones pain. You do not know the fear of death until you face it. A co-worker of mine was an theist who used to brag about there is no God. One day he was driving on freeway in California. An accident turned his car around facing the on-coming traffic. Suddenly he was facing swarms of car rushing toward him. In that moment he was terrified to death. Since that dreadful car experience, he never talked about there is no God anymore. A secular philosopher was dying, and his followers were with him and watching the struggle of his dying moment. They asked him what was it that he was trying to grab? The atheist said he had nothing to hold on to!

Isa 41:10, ‘Do not fear, for I am with you;
Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, surely I will help you,
Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.'

Note: Those who fear God has nothing to fear. Look to God for surely God will help you.

Isa 41:13, “For I am the LORD your God, who upholds your right hand,
Who says to you, ‘Do not fear, I will help you.”

Note: There may be a time when no one can help you. If you are a believer of Jesus Christ, do not fear, for God will help you.

Mat 10:28, “Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”

Note: This is the greatest relief, the Christian has eternal security. Even a nuclear bomb drops on me, I shall see the glory of my Redeemer.

Rom 8:15, “For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!”

Note: Christians are not slaves, having received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Heavenly Father!” I testify from childhood to old age, it is wonderful to have the Heavenly Father watching over me.

Heb 2:15, “and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives.”

1Jo 4:18, “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.”

Note: Unbelievers including warmongers, militarists, supremacists, capitalists, imperialists, monopolists and tycoons are among those who through fear of death are subject to slavery all their lives. The rich and powerful have the biggest fears. Christians are not afraid to die. In the love of Christ, Christians have no fear.

1Pe 3:14, “But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. AND DO NOT FEAR THEIR INTIMIDATION, AND DO NOT BE TROUBLED.”

Note: Even if Christians should suffer for the sake of righteousness, we are blessed. Christians do not fear the intimidation of the wicked, and do not be troubled.

Rev 2:10, “Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, so that you will be tested, and you will have tribulation for ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.”

Note: Believers do not fear what we are about to suffer. Be faithful until death, and the Lord will give us the crown of life.

Psa 34:4, “I sought the LORD, and He answered me,
And delivered me from all my fears.”

Note: The Lord will deliver the righteous from all fears.

WORRIES

Jhn 14:1-3, “Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.”

Note: The white race has ruled the world in the last 500 years or more to this day. The future does not belong to the White, Black or Yellow. The world is doomed. Christians do not belong to this world. Christians are citizens of Heaven. Jesus Christ has prepared a better country and a better place for His followers. Our future is bright, tomorrow belongs to Christians. For Jesus Christ is coming again to receive believers into the Kingdom of God. However, it is not the same with unbelievers. For the same reasons people fear, for the same reasons people also worry. Is your heart troubled?

Mat 6:28, “And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing.”

Mat 6:31, “Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?' or ‘What will we drink?' or ‘What will we wear for clothing?'”

Note: This is the word of comfort from Jesus Christ to His followers, but not to unbelievers. Many parts of the world, especially Africa, Asia, and South America the overwhelming majority of peoples are still worried about the basic necessities of life. They have plenty of reasons to worry when the peoples do not have the basic necessities of life. Famine, drought, overpopulation, poverty, civil wars, corrupt governments, lack of education, primitive facilities and without infrastructure still plague many parts of the world. Take overpopulation, why should a nation produce so many unproductive and useless peoples and hope other nations to support them? Parents who could not support themselves and produce many children. Some think if they drop their children over the fence, America will take care of them. Is it not a stupid government who takes care of thousands and thousands of children of illegal aliens and create a large deficit and increase national debt for nothing? A nation which is not self-supporting has no reason to exist. This is reality, not racism or ethnocentrism. Hordes and masses of illegal economic migrants (fake refugees from impoverished nations invading America and Europe is the phenomenon of the 21^st century.) Most of the blames go to America and Europe that started many unjust and aggressive wars of conquest and Islamic terrorists who create real refugees.

Girls and women are most worried or concerned about their clothing. In a culture of vanity, girls and women want to wear fashionable clothing. Some may not know, women clothing are more expensive than man’s clothing. Yet the most fashionable dress is not as beautiful as the lilies of the field. I believe a minister’s wife who wears a $30,000 mink coast is not fit for the ministry.

Mat 6:34, “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

Note: Christians do not worry about tomorrow. But the rest of the world has a lot to worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow does not look good to them. If in my opinion, they do not have tomorrow, it is not cruel but may be an incentive to wake them up, for them to think hard, to work hard in order to have a livable tomorrow. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Apparently, Western leaders and Western media and Islamic terrorists exist only to make more troubles and create more problems to the world each day.

Luk 12:22, “And He said to His disciples, “For this reason I say to you, do not worry about your life, as to what you will eat; nor for your body, as to what you will put on.”

Note: Christians do not worry about their life even in the face of nuclear war and destruction of the world. Why? Col 3:3-4, “For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.” The Christian life is hidden with Christ in God. Even a nuclear bomb falls on me, I have nothing to worry, for Christ is my life, I will see the glory of God.

Mat 13:22, “And the one on whom seed was sown among the thorns, this is the man who hears the Word, and the worry of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.”

Note: The world always has the worry of the world. Washington, Wall Street, Hollywood, military-industrial-security-complex and Islamic terrorists add on tons of the worry to the world. Wealth is always deceitful, when one percent of the population owns 99 per cent of the world wealth, the deceitfulness of wealth is compounded in geometric progression. The luxury of immense wealth in contrast with the misery of abject poverty incites the nuclear explosion of rebellion and revolution.

Luk 12:25-26, “Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? And if worry can’t accomplish a little thing like that, what’s the use of worrying over bigger things?”

Note: No one can use his worries to add a single moment to his life. In the sight of God, to add a single moment to one’s life is a little thing. What is the use of worrying over bigger things? What are bigger things? The bigger things are other matters. What are the biggest matters in life? To live in this world without God and without hope is one of the bigger things. The bigger things to worry over are sin, death, and Hell.

Jer 17:8, “He will be like a tree planted by water: it sends its roots out toward a stream, it doesn't fear when heat comes, and its foliage remains green. It will not worry in a year of drought or cease producing fruit.”

Note: Drought is already a major worry in China (2019) and in 2020 many other countries. Most people know what is the consequence of drought. Do not think drought affects only farmers.

Phl 4:6, “Don't worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”

Note: Christians are granted the right to make requests to God. Don’t worry about anything, but in everything be thankful and through prayers make your petition and present your requests to God. God answers my prayers a million times. So I continue to pray to seek God’s help and deliverance, especially in the day of trouble.

1Sa 1:6, “Her rival wife used to upset her and make her worry, for the LORD had not enabled her to have children.”

Note: There are women who worry because they are unable to have children. Those women who have children also worry about their children. This is the world of double jeopardy: to have not is a worry, to have is also a worry. To have no child is a worry, to have a child is also a worry. Those who have and those who have not also worry.

Psa 13:2, “How long must I worry, and suffer in broad daylight? How long will my enemy gloat over me?”

Note: There are those who worry about their enemies. I have learned there are wicked people in the world who want to be your enemies without cause. Even if you do not make enemy, some people want to be your enemies. There are enemies of the truth. Some enemies want to gloat over your misfortunes. Some evil people want to block your success. Some enemies want to smear your character and ruin your reputation. You do not want to know them, but they want to know you. I often pray God to save me from meeting people I should not meet. There are many people I have known in this world that I wished I have never known them. They are personae non gratae. For Christians, don’t worry. Psa 112:10, “When the wicked see this, they will worry; they will grind their teeth in frustration and melt away; the desire of the wicked will perish.” The wicked will melt away and they will perish.

Jer 49:23, “The LORD spoke about Damascus. "The people of Hamath and Arpad will be dismayed because they have heard bad news. Their courage will melt away because of worry. Their hearts will not be able to rest.”

Note: People will be dismayed because they have heard bad news. Turn on your TV and hear and watch bad news, compounded by Western leaders and politicians who lie, lie, and lie; kill, kill, and kill; rob, rob, and rob; and Western media who habitually and regularly make fake news, fake reports and fake presentations, disinformation and misinformation. There is no rest in the world because of bad news, fake news, fake reports, and fake presentations, and distortion of facts, oppression and sanction; and practice of injustice.

Gen 39:6, “So Potiphar gave Joseph complete administrative responsibility over everything he owned. With Joseph there, he didn't worry about a thing—except what kind of food to eat! Joseph was a very handsome and well-built young man.”

Note: The rich and powerful needs able and dependable manager who has administrative ability and responsibility over everything. It is not easy to find an able and dependable manager. You can rest and not worry if you have an able and dependable administrator. I find it is even difficult to find a good housekeeper or cleaning person. Even a cleaning woman can be a cause of worry and trouble.

Rth 3:11, “Now don't worry about a thing, my daughter. I will do what is necessary, for everyone in town knows you are a virtuous woman.”

Note: How many parents find it a great cause of worry to find a man or good woman for their children. In most culture, a remarried woman is in less demand than a remarried man. Some young Chinese couples imitate the West in thinking divorces are fashionable.

Job 36:17, “But you are obsessed with whether the godless will be judged. Don't worry, judgment and justice will be upheld.”

Note: All facts and evidence point to a world where there is no justice. The rich and powerful can protect themselves. Most people are desperate and helpless and hopeless. If you look at the world situation, you cannot help to be obsessed with whether the godless will be judged. When will God stop and judge Western powers from seeking absolute military superiority, financial monopoly, political power to oppress, suppress, sanction, persecute, and target other nations such as China, Russia, etc.

Psa 37:1, “A psalm of David.
Don't worry about the wicked
or envy those who do wrong.”

Note: I never envy those who do wrong, not even the most crooked and richest man in the world. But I worry about the wicked. So I pray to the Lord, “Deliver us from evil.” (Mat 6:13)

Psa 37:7, “Be still in the presence of the LORD,
and wait patiently for him to act.
Don't worry about evil people who prosper
or fret about their wicked schemes.”

Note: Look around, don’t you see most evil people prosper, and those who have wicked schemes get rich? Christians, be still in the presence of the Lord.

Pro 12:25, “Worry weighs a person down;
an encouraging word cheers a person up.”

Note: Worry has many implications. Worry weighs a person down. Have you not met a person weighed down by worry? Ask psychologists and psychiatrists and pastors.

Ecc 12:5, “Remember him before you become fearful of falling and worry about danger in the streets; before your hair turns white like an almond tree in bloom, and you drag along without energy like a dying grasshopper, and the caper berry no longer inspires sexual desire. Remember him before you near the grave, your everlasting home, when the mourners will weep at your funeral.”

Note: Aside the war zones, American streets are the most dangerous in the word. You should worry about danger in American streets. Once I worked for a federal agency in Washington, D.C. I was traveling by subway, standing outside the gate. I asked a black woman whether it is safe to be in this area. She said definitely, No! You can visit downtown Los Angeles to find the homeless people on the streets at your own risk. Just a look you will quickly learn what fear is!

Phl 4:6, “Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done.”

Note: Christians don’t worry about anything. Pray about everything. I pray about everything. Tell God what we need, and thank Him for all He has done.

SUFFERING

1Pe 3:14, “But even if you suffer for doing what is right, God will reward you for it. So don't worry or be afraid of their threats.”

Note: It is wrong to say the New Testament portrays God as dealing with each human being on the principle of retributive justice. Most people might not know, Christians may suffer for doing what is right. It is normal when people suffer for doing what is wrong, such as criminals and terrorists and the wicked. When God judges and punishes the evildoers, it may be called retributive justice. When it is God’s will for the righteous to suffer, it is not retributive justice.

Jer 12:1, “Righteous are You, O LORD, that I would plead my case with You; Indeed I would discuss matters of justice with You:
Why has the way of the wicked prospered?
Why are all those who deal in treachery at ease?”

Hab 1:13, “Your eyes are too pure to approve evil,
And You can not look on wickedness with favor.
Why do You look with favor
On those who deal treacherously?
Why are You silent when the wicked swallow up
Those more righteous than they?”

1Jo 3:12, “Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother's were righteous.”

Luk 24:26, “Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?”

Note: The Scriptures cited above present problems that even bother the prophets of all and the saints of all generations. They are matters of justice and recompense. The Bible does not provide the full answer why the righteous suffer? I am no better than the prophets who raised those questions. However, I believe it is God’s will for Christians to follow in the steps of Jesus and share the sufferings of Christ. Once I met a very beautiful and cultured young woman who died of leukemia, and I don’t know why. A very wise man once said, “The blessing of the Old Testament is prosperity, the blessing of the New Testament is adversity.” But suffering saints, don’ worry, I have found the supporting Word of God as follows:

Pro 10:25, “When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more,
But the righteous has an everlasting foundation.”

Note: Wait, when the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more; but the righteous has an everlasting foundation.

Pro 11:21, “Assuredly, the evil man will not go unpunished,
But the descendants of the righteous will be delivered.”

Note: For sure, the evil man will not go unpunished.

Isa 3:10, “Say to the righteous that it will go well with them,
For they will eat the fruit of their actions.”

Note: Let the righteous rejoice, for God says, the righteous will go well with them. The truth about they will eat the fruit of their actions is most fascinating and interesting. Western powers planned, financed, trained, and supported Chinese traitors and terrorists in Hong Kong to create chaos, riots, destruction and violence from 2019-2020. Now rioters and demonstrators, looters, lawbreakers have terrorized many cities in America in spite of curfew and the military: they eat the fruit of their actions.

Mat 4:24, “The news about Him spread throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all who were ill, those suffering with various diseases and pains, demoniacs, epileptics, paralytics; and He healed them.”

Note: All who were desperately ill, suffering with many incurable diseases, came to Jesus and He healed them all.

Mat 9:20, “And a woman who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years, came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak.”

Luk 4:38, “Then He got up and left the synagogue, and entered Simon's home. Now Simon's mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Him to help her.”

Luk 14:2, “And there in front of Him was a man suffering from dropsy.”

Note: All diseases cause suffering, all sufferings cause pains. There are quite a few painful diseases. Peoples with all diseases and sicknesses who came to Jesus were healed and cured. But the primary purpose of Jesus coming into the world is to save sinners, not to heal the sick. Pentecostal denomination over stressed faith healing and speaking in tongues. Kidney stones pain probably is the most painful disease. Once I asked a woman who had experienced labor pain and kidney stones pain, which one is worst. She said, kidney stones pain. Demoniacs are diseases possessed by a demon or demons. Epilepsy is a disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. Paralytic is a person who suffers paralysis. Jesus healed who suffered various diseases and pains brought to Him.

Suffering includes the experience of physical pain and/or mental distress. Suffering is the direct consequence of sin, and sin also brings death. Adam and Eve used to live in the Paradise without pain or suffering until they violated the commandment of God and disobeyed His word. Consequently both humanity and the world were cursed. After Adam and Eve all humans were born with flawed nature and born in sins. All have sinned and so all will die. If you have never sinned, you will not die.

Rom 8:18, “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.”

Note: In this present world, not only sinners suffer, saints also suffer. Everyone suffers in this world. However, there is a dimension of suffering for Christians which the world does not know about. Christians may suffer for doing what is right, Christians also may suffer because the will of God; and above all, Christians may suffer for the sake of Christ. Only saints can share the sufferings of Christ. To suffer for the sake of Jesus Christ is to have the fellowship of His sufferings. To have fellowship with the sufferings of Christ is to share His glory when Christ returns in His glory.

2Co 1:5, “For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ.”

Note: The more Christians share the sufferings of Christ, the more they share the comfort through Christ.

Phl 3:10, “that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death.”

Note: The imitation of Christ includes knowing Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death -- this is the higher and deeper experience in Christ.

Col 1:24, “Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I do my share on behalf of His body, which is the church, in filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions.”

Note: Apostle Paul rejoiced in his sufferings in his flesh to do his share on behalf on the Body of Christ, which is the Church, in filling up what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions. I am not sure and I do not know at present any preacher or minister suffers in filling up what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions.

2Ti 3:11, “persecutions, and sufferings, such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium and at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord rescued me!”

Heb 2:10, “For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to perfect the Author of their salvation through sufferings.”

Heb 10:32, “But remember the former days, when, after being enlightened, you endured a great conflict of sufferings.”

1Pe 1:11, “seeking to know what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow.”

1Pe 4:13, “but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the revelation of His glory you may rejoice with exultation.”

1Pe 5:1, “Therefore, I exhort the elders among you, as your fellow elder and witness of the sufferings of Christ, and a partaker also of the glory that is to be revealed.”

Note: All the Scriptures cited above point to the important fact of Christians sharing the sufferings of Christ. Satan is viewed as the major contributing cause of the problems of the world and the suffering of human beings. Jhn 8:44,“You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”

Jesus identifies the devil as:

(1). The first murderer.

(2). The devil does not stand in the truth.

(3). There is no truth in the devil.

(4). The devil speaks the first lie.

(5). The devil is a liar.

(6). The devil is the father of lies.

Luk 10:18, “And He said to them, “I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning.”

Isa 14:12-15, “How you are fallen from Heaven,
O Lucifer, son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations! For you have said in your heart:
‘I will ascend into Heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
I will also sit on the mount of the congregation
On the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
I will be like the Most High.’ Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol,
To the lowest depths of the Pit.”

Note: The devil is the first egomaniac. The devil was so egocentric that he wanted to be like the Most High, and it was the cause of his downfall from Heaven. I was young and now I am old, I have never heard or seen anyone like the Western egomaniac today.

1Jo 3:8, “the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.”

Note: The works of the devil are many, we use some Biblical illustrations to highlight them.

Luk 13:16, “And this woman, a daughter of Abraham as she is, whom Satan has bound for eighteen long years, should she not have been released from this bond on the Sabbath day.”

Note: Jesus said this woman is a daughter of Abraham, her suffering may not be a retributive justice. Satan has bound her for 18 long years.

Luk 22:3, “And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, belonging to the number of the twelve.”

Jhn 13:27, “After the morsel, Satan then entered into him. Therefore Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.”

Note: Satan entered into Judas to tell him to betray the Lord. Satan can also enter the hearts of the wicked to incite them to do wicked deeds. Satan can enter the hearts of Western warmongers to start a nuclear war. I am thinking of a Western leader whom I think is demon-possessed.

Act 5:3, “But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back some of the price of the land?”

Note: Satan filled the heart of Ananias to lie to the Holy Spirit. According to the Word of God, Satan is also working behind the movement in establishing a One World Religion.

Act 26:18, “to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me.”

Note: It is the Christian duty to preach the Gospel and to pray God to open the eyes so that many may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified in Christ.

Mar 4:15, “These are the ones who are beside the road where the word is sown; and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the Word which has been sown in them.”

Note: It is clear why some people hear the Gospel and do not believe and do not want to become Christians. Satan comes and takes away the Word which has been sown in them.

Mat 4:8-10, “ Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory; and he said to Him, “All these things I will give You, if You fall down and worship me.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go, Satan! For it is written, ‘YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND SERVE HIM ONLY.”

Note: Satan even tempted Jesus Christ, wanted Jesus Christ to fall down and worship him. Jesus told Satan to go away. YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND SERVE HIM ONLY. Be alert, Satan can tempt you and me in many ways. A messenger of Satan can torment you. Satan has many schemes, do not fall into it. Satan can hinder your work as he hindered Paul. Satan’s biggest scheme is to disguise himself as an angel of light. 2Co 11:14, “No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” Remember, the person who is about to lead you astray, turn aside to follow Satan, and ruin your faith may appear to you as an angel of light! Not a few false preachers and megachurch pastors disguise themselves as angels of light.

Mat 16:23, “But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on God's interests, but man's.”

Note: Many Christians may not know this, you are a stumbling block if you are not setting your mind on God’s interest, but man’s. Whenever a Christian does something, pause and ask the question: Am I motivated by God’s interest, or man’s interest?

2Th 2:8-12, “Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming; that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.”

The people in the last days are most dangerous and wicked because they take pleasure in wickedness.

1Jo 5:18-19, “ We know that no one who is born of God sins; but He who was born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him. We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.”

The Western leaders and politicians may think they have great power because they have nuclear weapons, military might, wealth, and monopoly of the world. Little they know they are agents of the devil and they lie in the power of the evil one.

Note: Leaders of Western powers, Japan, and Islamic terrorists may think themselves powerful in dictating and dominating the world events, but they do not know that they lie in the power of the evil one in accord with the activity of Satan.

GOOD SOCIETY

On my first trip to Scandinavia in 1975 in search of a better country than the United States of America, the concept of the Good Society was conceived through observations and deliberation and by 1976 the foundation of the theory of good society was laid. A Good Society is a society made of five imperatives, namely Liberty, Prosperity, Equality, Civility, and Security.

Liberty means freedom from tyranny.

Prosperity means freedom from poverty.

Equality means equal rights, equal opportunity, and equal treatment under the law – freedom from discrimination.

Civility is freedom from barbarity, incivility and vulgarity.

Security means freedom from fear of harm, threat and terror.

A society is good or bad in proportion to the extent it scores on these five criteria or imperatives. One society may score higher on one criterion or imperative and score lower on the other four. A total score may give you a general idea how a society functions as a whole. A nation is counted as a society, although there are sub-societies exist within a society; in fact that is called community. Many communities make up a society within a nation.

A sophisticated system of measurement can be designed and employed to evaluate any society at a given time whether it is good or bad, and how good it is or how bad it is. It is also possible to measure the same society which is better or worse in comparison to last year or previous years once the data are accumulated, analyzed and stored. A longitudinal study is possible based on accumulative annual data of that society.

The measurement of a society focuses on the general condition or trend – that is what is generally true. What is generally true about a society may not be individually true. For example, there is a DND syndrome in the Chinese society. DND stands for Dirty, Noisy, and Disorderly. But it is not true that every Chinese is dirty, noisy, and disorderly. It is equally true that many Asian, African and Latin nations suffer DND syndrome. There are many cities in America that suffer severe DND syndrome. My first time to Washington, D.C. was a cultural shock. All characteristics can be identified as public acts or acts of individuals in public. For example, littering is not a private act, but a public act. When you see people spit, litter – and you see trash, wastepaper, or garbage lying scattered about, and litters such as cigarette buts, paper cups, plastic bags, soft drink cans, etc. on the streets, you can generally and safely conclude that the people are dirty. A place is not clean or dirty by itself, people make it so. Another example, based on facts you can conclude America has a violent culture and American society is a violent society. The headline on Friday April 3, 2009 read: Gunman Commits New York Massacre in Immigration Center where immigrants were taking a citizenship exam, killing 13 people before committing suicide. This was one of countless and senseless incidents. On April 4, 2009 a gunman lying in wait killed 3 Pittsburgh officers and turned a quiet Pittsburgh street into a battlefield.

The American dream became a deadly dream. American politicians continuously make guns easily available, and so deaths and destruction will continue to multiply in a senseless way. The gun lobbyists rule America just as other interest groups do. Rampage becomes the American way of life. But you cannot say all Americans are violent.

If you live in a bad society where there are more frauds committed than the stars in the sky, discrimination is a way of life, doctors and hospitals can defraud and bankrupt you any moment, crooks and criminals threaten you in all aspects of life, the flawed legal system does not protect you, the government serves the interest of the few, you feel the nation is on the wrong track but you are helpless and hopeless, and you are desperate if you are unemployed, you live in fear every day - - the days are evil. It was also reported that the rich and powerful founder of Apple Company was so afraid that his daughter could be kidnapped. What is the use of money and power and the so-called richest and most powerful nation on earth, if you live in fear daily? What is the use of the sole superpower that can destroy the world but cannot protect its citizens from harm by crooks and criminals and terrorists?

To my shock that I have come to discover and realize that even a Good Society cannot be achieved in this world for the following reasons: The rich and Western nations are ruled by 1% of the population over the 99% of populations. The ruling class owns more than 90% of power and wealth in the world, they already have everything: Liberty, Prosperity, Security. They enjoy civility among themselves. The homeless people of Los Angeles and elsewhere do not affect or bother them. They live in gated mansions and communities and have their own security force. They do not need equality. For equality would demand them to share their prosperity and liberty with other nations. They want to maintain status quo and therefore do not want to make any change. The poor nations of the world consist of the 99 % due to poor leaderships and poor resources are unable to build a Good Society anyway. China’s One Belt-One Road policy and program is sharing and helping the developing nations. Western powers are jealous of China’s successes and afraid of China’s influences are spreading lies and fake news and fake reports to obstruct and attack China’s positive efforts in the world.

According to Bible prophecy, 2Ti 3:13, “But evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.” The world is getting worse and worse militarily, politically, financially, economically and socially. 2Ti 3:1-5, “But realize this, that in the last days perilous times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; avoid such men as these.”

Note: Perilous in Greek is chalepos which means fierce; violent; vicious; dangerous; troublesome; hard to bear; difficult; harsh; savage; furious; grievous; precarious; hazardous; - which occurs 2 times in the New Testament. Yes, perilous times have come. You do not need prophetic eye to see the three greatest threats to the world today:

(1). The aggressive, oppressive American empire with its allies NATO, Britain, Canada, Australia, EU, Japan, Korea, etc. driven by its world domination and dictatorship policy, to target China with military bases in Asia, and with military bases in Europe to target Russia -- may lead to a nuclear war that destroy the world.

(2). The resurgent militarist Japan with American aid to dominate Asia.

(3). The Islamic terrorists continue to wreck havoc in the world.

The world is getting worse and worse morally and spiritually, and not better and better. When the night is far spent, the dawn is at hand. We Christians boldly wait for the second coming of Jesus Christ to reign with the saints in the Kingdom of Heaven forever and ever. For the whole world, what will happen is death and destruction.

DEATH

Gen 27:2, “Isaac said, “Behold now, I am old and I do not know the day of my death.”

Note: There is one thing that all people know that they do not know: the day of their death. Secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers also know that they do not know the day of their death. Death is certain, but the day of death is uncertain.

Psa 39:4, “LORD, make me aware of my end

and the number of my days

so that I will know how short-lived I am.”

Note: From childhood I already knew the number of a man’s days are few and know how short-lived I am. So it is necessary to prepare for the inevitable. Death is inevitable for everyone and anyone. Prepare to meet the Lord God Almighty.

Job 1:21, “He said,
“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
And naked I shall return there.
The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away.
Blessed be the name of the LORD.”

Note: Job knew naked he came from his mother’s womb, and naked he shall return there. So is everyone who is born of a woman.

Job 16:22, “For when a few years are past,
I shall go the way of no return.”

Note: Man lives only a few years, he shall go the way of no return. Death is the way of no return. No one can return from death, except Jesus Christ who rose from the dead as He predicted.

Exo 21:12,“He who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death.:

Note: God instituted the death punishment: He who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death. Many Western nations although claim to be Christian, yet they disobey God by abolishing capital punishment. A man may kill 89 persons and still escape death sentence and lives comfortably the rest of his life in jail. This is what they call humane treatment of murderer.

Exo 21:29, “If, however, an ox was previously in the habit of goring and its owner has been warned, yet he does not confine it and it kills a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned and its owner also shall be put to death.”

Note: God further makes it clear: If you have an ox (or any animal, be it a vicious dog, tiger, snake, lion, wild beast) was previously in the habit of goring and killing, and its owner has been warned, yet he does not confine it and it kills a man or a woman, the animal shall be stoned and its owner also shall be put to death. This is the animal right awarded by God the Creator of Heavens and earth.

Act 23:29, “and I found him to be accused over questions about their Law, but under no accusation deserving death or imprisonment.”

Note: This is the international law of justice: people who have questions about their Law, is under no accusation deserving death or imprisonment. In a dictatorship, many innocent people were put to death for different opinions about their Law or Religion. Injustice is putting to death people who have not committed anything worthy of death or imprisonment.

Jas 1:14-15, “But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.”

Note: The Scripture explains the etiology of death. Death is directly linked to lust and sin. Lust in Greek is epithymia which means sinful desire; concupiscence; craving; longing; desire for what is forbidden; lasciviousness; passion; - which occurs 38 times in the New Testament. Sin in Greek is hamartia which means offense; violation; transgression; missing the mark; a bad action; an evil deed; - which occurs 174 times in the New Testament. Death in Greek is thanatos which means the separation of the soul from the body; loss of life; the wicked dead in Hell; all the miseries arising from sin; - which occurs 118 times in the New Testament. When lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death. (This kind of knowledge, no scientist or philosophy can find out.)

Rom 3:23, “ for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”

Rom 5:12, “ Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned—”

Note: All have sinned, no one excepted. Sin is missing the mark, falling short of the glory of God. For all have sinned, so all will die. If you have never sinned, you will not die.

Rom 5:10, “For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.”

Note: Enemy in Greek is echthros which means foe; hated person; odious person; opposing another; men as at enmity with God by their sin (Strong’s Concordance); a person that is hostile; an adversary; hateful individual; - which occurs 32 times in the New Testament. Reconcile in Greek is katallassō which means to return to favor with; to receive one into favor; to settle amicably; to change mutually; to restore to friendship; - which occurs 6 times in the New Testament. Sinners are enemies of God, through the death of His Son Jesus Christ, believers having been reconciled to God, we shall be saved by His life.

Some one suggested that you focus on the present and cultivate tranquility of the soul. No matter how you focus on the present and cultivate tranquility of the soul, it is an exercise of futility. The death is certain and there is no hope in this world. The world of hopelessness, fears, worries, suffering, and death is not what I want. I was looking for a better country which is Heavenly. For that reason I became a Christian.

Rev 20:10, “And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.”

Note: When Jesus Christ reigns with the saints, the destiny of the devil is being thrown into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

I am a Christian because my hope is not in this world; my hope is in God and Jesus Christ my Savior. Psa 71:5, “For You are my hope;
O Lord GOD, You are my confidence from my youth.”

As for me, I am a Christian because my hope is not in this world; my hope is in God and Jesus Christ my Savior. Psa 71:5, “For You are my hope; O Lord GOD, You are my confidence from my youth.”

III. REASON VS. REVELATION

There arises the perennial debate about reason and revelation. Let us open the window and speak the truth. Reason by itself is not sufficient to guide human existence, it fails flat on discovering the things of God, the things absolute and ultimate. Someone said, “For the two great lights of God, reason and revelation, never contradict each other, though one be superior to the other.” I think the man is wrong about his statement. God gives two lights for different reasons. Gen 1:16, “God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also.” Just as God made the sun, the greater light to govern the day, and the moon, the lesser light to govern the night; so the analogy is such they are two different kinds of light. I hold reason (human reason) applies only to things in nature, while revelation applies to things spiritual and supernatural or things pertaining to God. Man by human reason can never find God, not enough light so to speak. For the same reason, you cannot use calculator to count the number of stars, or to use a cup to measure the ocean. Reason alone cannot reach God just as the finite can never reach the infinite. An ameba cannot understand man. For man to know God, God has to reveal Himself. Jesus Christ is God who became Man to reveal God. For that reason science and philosophy can never find the absolute Truth. Jesus declares, Jhn 14:6, “ Jesus said to him, “I AM the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.”

Reason does not offer light, at most a dim light. Science is groping in darkness. Philosophy does not offer light. The best of human reason is like a candle light in the pitch-dark world.

Eph 1:17, “that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him.”

Note: It is impossible to know the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, by human reason. The knowledge of God is obtained through revelation by the Spirit of wisdom. The wisdom of man can never find the knowledge of God.

Human reason does not provide enough light for man to find the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. By revelation we come to know Jesus Christ is the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. By revelation we come to know, J hn 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” Mat 22:16, “And they sent their disciples to Him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are truthful and teach the way of God in truth, and defer to no one; for You are not partial to any.” Even Pharisees and the Herodians who were enemies of Christ admitted that Jesus is truthful and teaches the way of God in truth.

Luk 10:21-22, “At that very time He rejoiced greatly in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I praise You, O Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for this way was well-pleasing in Your sight. All things have been handed over to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.”

Note: The things of God are hidden from the wise and intelligent such as secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers, etc. because God did not reveal hidden things to them. But those who have faith like simple children God reveals Himself to them. By human reason or wisdom, secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers cannot know who the Son of God is and who the Father is. Jesus Christ reveals God to whoever He wills. The following is the root cause of unbelief. 1Co 1:18-25, “ For the Word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written,
“I WILL DESTROY THE WISDOM OF THE WISE,
AND THE CLEVERNESS OF THE CLEVER I WILL SET ASIDE.” Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. For indeed Jews ask for miracles and Greeks search for wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles foolishness, but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.”

Note: In summary, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. It is interesting to know the basic difference between the Jews and the Greeks. The Jews ask for miracles and the Greeks search for wisdom. Apostle Paul’s missionary trip to Athens is most interesting and enlightening:

Act 17:16-34, “Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was being provoked within him as he was observing the city full of idols. So he was reasoning in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles, and in the market place every day with those who happened to be present. And also some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers were conversing with him. Some were saying, “What would this idle babbler wish to say?” Others, “He seems to be a proclaimer of strange deities,”—because he was preaching Jesus and the resurrection. And they took him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new teaching is which you are proclaiming? For you are bringing some strange things to our ears; so we want to know what these things mean.” (Now all the Athenians and the strangers visiting there used to spend their time in nothing other than telling or hearing something new.) So Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I observe that you are very religious in all respects. For while I was passing through and examining the objects of your worship, I also found an altar with this inscription, ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ Therefore what you worship in ignorance, this I proclaim to you. The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of Heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things; and He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation, that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His children.’ Being then the children of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and thought of man. Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent, because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through the Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead. Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some began to sneer, but others said, “We shall hear you again concerning this.” So Paul went out of their midst. But some men joined him and believed, among whom also were Dionysius the Areopagite and a woman named Damaris and others with them.”

Note: The Holy Bible is the book of facts. The persons mentioned in the Bible are true historical persons. The places mentioned in the Bible are true geographical places. Such as Athens where Paul visited cited in the above Scriptures is a true city and capital of Greece. It is interesting to read that footnote, (Now all the Athenians and the strangers visiting there used to spend their time in nothing other than telling or hearing something new.) Remember the Greeks search for wisdom. Areopagus, according to Wikipedia, is a prominent rock outcropping located northwest of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. In classical times, it functioned as the court. Dionysius the Areopagite became a believer, was known as a judge at the Areopagus Court in Athens, who lived in the first century. Christianity was not, has not, and is not influenced by any philosophy of any country. The best of human philosophy is but a lesser light like a candle. Christianity is the Sun of Righteousness that shines in the universe. As the Scripture says, Mat 4:16, “THE PEOPLE WHO WERE SITTING IN DARKNESS SAW A GREAT LIGHT, AND THOSE WHO WERE SITTING IN THE LAND AND SHADOW OF DEATH, UPON THEM A LIGHT DAWNED.”

There were two prominent groups of philosophers there in Athens, the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers were conversing with Paul.

The philosopher of Epicurus involved a view of the goal of human life are happiness and pleasure. He believed the greatest good was to seek pleasure and avoid pain. As a Christian, I reject Epicureanism on ground the Christian goal is not to seek happiness and pleasure and avoid pain. The highest goal of a Christian life is to do the will of God. The do the will of God may incur suffering and pain. Luk 9:22, “saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed and be raised up on the third day.” Jesus Christ sets an example of sufferings for Christians to follow.

Mat 10:38,“And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.”

Note: Jesus demands His followers to take his cross and follow after Him. If you do not, you are not worthy of Him. To take one’s cross and follow after Christ means to suffer.

Mat 16:24, “Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.”

Note: Deny in Greek is aparneomai which means to forget one's self, lose sight of one's self and one's own interests (Strong’s Concordance); to disown utterly; to abstain; to disavow; to restrain oneself; to disclaim;- which occurs 11 times in the New Testament. To follow after Christ demands self-denial. Self-denial means to put Christ’s interests above your own interest. To be a Christian means self-denial and taking up your cross and follow Christ.

Act 26:23, “that the Christ was to suffer, and that by reason of His resurrection from the dead He would be the first to proclaim light both to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles.”

Note: Christ was to suffer, and by reason of His resurrection from the dead He would be the first to proclaim light both to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles.

Rom 8:17, “and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.”

Note: If we indeed suffer with Jesus so that we may also be glorified with Him. Do not think Christians may be glorified with Christ without suffering.

Phl 1:29, “For to you it has been granted for Christ's sake, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake.”

Note: Grant in Greek is charizomai which means to give freely; to do a favor to; to bestow; to give graciously; to give as a favor; - which occurs 27 times in the New Testament. God has granted to believers as a favor: not only to believe in Christ, but also to suffer for His sake. Believing comes with suffering. It has been granted by God, not only we believe in Christ, but also suffer for His sake. If you are not willing to suffer for Christ, it is because you are unworthy. It is very funny, followers and preachers of prosperity gospel want to get rich in this world!

1Pe 2:20, “For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure it with patience? But if when you do what is right and suffer for it you patiently endure it, this finds favor with God.”

Note: Credit in Greek is kleos which means glory; report; praise; renown; fame; - which occurs 1 time in the New Testament. If you are harshly treated because of sin and you endure it with patience, for what credit is there? But if when you do what is right and suffer for it you patiently endure it, this finds favor with God.

1Pe 3:14, “But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. AND DO NOT FEAR THEIR INTIMIDATION, AND DO NOT BE TROUBLED.”

Note: This is an evil world. There are people who prosper by doing evil. But if you should suffer for the sake or righteousness, you are blessed.

1Pe 3:17, “For it is better, if God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what is right rather than for doing what is wrong.”

Note: If it is God’s will that you suffer for doing what is right, it is better than for doing what is wrong. If you do not know that there are people who suffer for doing what is right, you must be spiritually blind.

1Pe 4:19, “Therefore, those also who suffer according to the will of God shall entrust their souls to the faithful Creator in doing what is right.”

Note: Those who suffer according to the will of God shall entrust their souls to the faithful Creator in doing what is right. Those who prosper for doing what is wrong cannot entrust their souls to the faithful Creator. Washington, Wall Street, Hollywood, military-industrial-security complex prosper for doing what is wrong. They lie, kill, and rob.

Rev 2:10, “Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, so that you will be tested, and you will have tribulation for ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.”

Note: The devil is behind most of the sufferings of the saints. Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Be faithful until death, for the Lord will give you the crown of life.

Gal 6:12, “Those who desire to make a good showing in the flesh try to compel you to be circumcised, simply so that they will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.”

Note: The servants and children of God may be persecuted for the cross of Christ. The cross is the symbol of suffering. Those who desire to make a good showing in the flesh and refuse to live a godly life will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

2Ti 3:12, “ Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.”

Note: You will be persecuted if you desire to live godly in Christ Jesus. You should be alert and examine yourself if you have never been persecuted for the sake of Christ.

Heb 12:2, “fixing our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

Note: Fix our eyes on Jesus means to follow Jesus in enduring the cross, despising the shame, for the joy set before us.

All the Scriptures cited above and many more speak and stand against Epicurean philosophy of pleasure, the philosophy of pig and playboy.

There are secular academics and unbelieving theologians who say that Stoicism influenced Christianity. Christianity is the Revealed religion, it has never been influenced by any philosophy, ideology, genealogy, mythology, history, epistemology, theology, metaphysics, legend, fairy tale, myth, science, folklore, cultural dynamics, tradition of any kind at any time. There is no Western Christianity, Asian Christianity, or African Christianity. There is no ancient Christianity or modern Christianity. There is only one Biblical Christianity, one and the same from the beginning.

We do not use human thought or wisdom to justify the Word of God, we use the Word of God to test and measure human thought or wisdom. Christianity is not a modification or revision of any human thought or wisdom. Christianity is the new Revelation of Jesus Christ, and nothing else. There is no predecessor, precursor or successor of Christianity. Christianity is One and Only. Jesus Christ declares to whole world, Jhn 10:7-8, “So Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I AM the Door of the sheep. All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.” This does not mean that all the prophets of the Old Testament are thieves and robbers. It means all those who came before and after Christ who claim to be prophet or teacher are religious thieves and robbers who lead souls to destruction. Jesus Christ is the only Door of Truth, all the sheep of Jesus must not listen to any other religious teacher or leader. Christians draw only on the resources of Jesus Christ led by the Holy Spirit.

According to Wikipedia, Stoicism is a philosophy of personal ethics informed by its system of logic and its views on the natural world, not allowing oneself to be controlled by the desire for pleasure or fear of pain. It appears to be the opposite of Epicureanism. At first glance, you know no views on the natural world or on whatever can be correct without the revelation of God. No ethics is perfect in the sight of God. “Nature” is not and cannot be synonymous with “god.”

Phl 4:8, “Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any virtue, and if anything worthy of praise, think on these things.”

2Pe 1:3, “as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue.”

2Pe 1:5-8, “But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Note: The Scriptures cited above stress the importance of correct thinking and virtuous living. Virtue in Greek is aretē which means praise; moral goodness; moral excellence; modesty; purity; valor; a virtuous course of thought or action; an eminent endowment or quality; - which occurs 5 times in the New Testament. Virtues are Christian acquired moral qualities or excellence. Christian virtues are Christian good fruits. But unlike the pagans who think virtues can save themselves; no one can be saved by his virtues. God called us by glory and virtue.

This is the honest confession of a great scientist, as to the ultimate mystery of nature, Max Planck said, “Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are a part of the mystery that we are trying to solve.” The failure of science points to the vital importance and necessity of revelation.

Christians are not concerned how the world hangs together. Col 1:15-17, “He is the Image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, both in the Heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.” Hold together in Greek is synistēmi which means to consist; to stand with; to make; to place together; to band or bring together; to establish; to put together; to unite parts into one whole; to set together; to constitute; to stand together; to cohere; to keep the component parts together; - which occurs 17 times in the New Testament. All things in the world hold together in Jesus Christ, it is not by gravity. Christians are not worried about the universe, whether meteorites will hit the earth, or the stars may collide with each other. Why? Heb 1:3, “His Son is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of His nature, and He upholds the universe by the Word of His power. After making purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.” Uphold in Greek is pherō which means to carry; to bear with; to move; to bear up; to keep from falling; to preserve; to lead or conduct; to endure; to support; to lift up; - which occurs 67 times in the New Testament. Jesus Christ upholds the universe by the Word of His power, not gravity. The Lord sits down on His throne. I lift up my eyes and look and behold the Heavens are telling of the glory of God.

Job 38:33, “Do you know the laws of the universe?
Can you use them to regulate the earth?”

Note: The above is not the question of Job. This is the question of the Lord asking Job or anyone. Do you know the laws of the universe? I do not know the laws of the universe. Do secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers know the laws of the universe? Someone wrote The 12 Laws of the Universe. I am sure the author misses the point what the Lord was talking about the laws of the universe. I am not a physicist. I admit I do not know the laws of the universe, but I know the Lord who makes the laws of the universe.

2Co 4:6, “For God, who said, “Light shall shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.”

Note: The best of human reason cannot give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. Light shall shine out of darkness through the revelation of Jesus Christ.

1Ch 29:11-12, “Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the Heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O LORD, and You exalt Yourself as Head over all. Both riches and honor come from You, and You rule over all, and in Your hand is power and might; and it lies in Your hand to make great and to strengthen everyone.”

No secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers, no one knows everything that is in the Heavens and the earth; for this reason no one knows the LAWS OF THE UNIVERSE. Albert Einstein said, “Everything is energy. And that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.” I am sure Einstein was greatly mistaken. No one can know everything that is in the Heavens and the earth. No one is able to know everything that is in the earth, not to say everything that is in the Heavens. No one is able to know everything that is finite, not to say everything that is infinite. No one is able to know everything which is temporal, not to say everything that is eternal. There is no theory of everything because no one knows everything. Can Einstein or any scientist match the frequency of eternal life he wants and get that reality of eternal life? Of course not. Human boast is like breaking a foul flatus. The failure of science to discover the laws of the universe is indicative of human limitations.

Christians are concerned about how and why do we live in this world. Col 2:20, “If you died with Christ to the elements of this world, why do you live as if you still belonged to the world? Why do you submit to regulations:” Christians do not live as if they still belonged to the world.

The following are some of the Scriptures that speak on the subject of “everything”:

Psa 96:10-13, “Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns;
Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved;
He will judge the peoples with equity. Let the Heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all it contains; let the field exult, and all that is in it. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD, for He is coming,
For He is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
And the peoples in His faithfulness.”

Note: When Jesus Christ is coming to judge the earth and reign with the saints, tremendous things will take place. Even all the trees of the forest will sing for joy. That is the day all Christians will sing for joy. But it will be the day of doom and destruction for all unbelievers and the wicked. They will be judged and sent to Hell. When the Kingdom of God comes, then I will learn how the Heavens be glad and the earth rejoices. I have heard and seen the sea roars, but I have never known the field can exult.

Psa 69:34, “Let Heaven and earth praise Him,
The seas and everything that moves in them.”

Job 28:24, “For He looks to the ends of the earth
And sees everything under the Heavens.”

Note: God looks to the ends of the earth and sees everything under the Heavens. Man cannot see even things under one’s nose.

Psa 50:11, “I know every bird of the mountains,
And everything that moves in the field is Mine.”

Note: God knows every bird of the mountains, and everything that moves in the field belongs to God. Scientists do not know that.

Psa 150:6, “Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.
Praise the LORD!”

Note: Everything that has breath ought to praise the Lord. Every living thing needs to praise the Lord.

Pro 16:4, “The LORD has made everything for its own purpose,
Even the wicked for the day of evil.”

Note: Creation displays the wisdom and power of God. The Lord has made everything for its own purpose, even the wicked for the day of evil. We often misunderstand God for having not the insight to know that everything has its own purpose.

Ecc 3:1, “There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under Heaven—”

Note: There is an appointed time for everything. It is God who appoints time for everything. No man controls time and event. God controls whatever comes to pass. Humans are foolish and do not know there is a time for every event under Heaven.

Psa 119:128, “Therefore I esteem right all Your precepts concerning everything, I hate every false way.”

Note: The psalmist is wise to esteem right all God’s precepts concerning everything, and he hates every false way. This is the Christian world’s view and value. God’s precepts concerning everything are right, and I hate every false way. I hate lies, fake news, fake reports, fake goods, fake documents, fake medicine, fake credentials, fake money, fake companies, false gospel, false preachers, false doctrines, false brothers, and everything fake and false.

Pro 14:15, “The naive believes everything,
But the sensible man considers his steps.”

Note: Naive in Hebrew is pĕthiy which means simple ones; the simpleminded; foolish; silly; seducible; one easily persuaded; - which occurs 21 times in the Old Testament. The simpleminded believes everything. You should NOT believe everything about science and philosophy. Christians need to be wise and do not believe everything. There is nothing comes out of secularists and unbelieving scholars worth reading or believing.

Note: All my short life, from childhood to advanced in age, I have been studying and searching knowledge and wisdom. I have studied secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers; I find them hewing for themselves cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. Cistern in Hebrew is bo'r which means pit; well; an artificial reservoir; a water tank; - which occurs 5 times in the Old Testament. To my disappointment, I have found all the theories, teachings, discoveries, knowledge of secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers are but broken cisterns that can hold no water. The water is the Word of God which lasts forever. Jesus is the fountain of living waters.

Jhn 4:10, “Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”

Note: There are so many things and so many times if we only knew, our lives would be different. If you knew the gift of God, you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.

Jhn 7:37-39, “ Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’ But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.”

Rev 22:17, “The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost.”

Note: The Scriptures cited above announce the invitation of God to mankind: Come. Reason is insufficient and inadequate to guide human existence or life. Revelation of Jesus Christ is like living waters to quench the thirst of human hearts and minds. Revelation is like the Sun of Righteousness that shines upon the pilgrims who are going to the Heavenly City. The key to the mystery of life is the Wisdom of God. If you have known Christ, you have known God. Christ is the mystery of God.

Jer 2:13, “For My people have committed two evils:
They have forsaken Me,
The fountain of living waters,
To hew for themselves cisterns,
Broken cisterns
That can hold no water.”

Note: All my life has been studying and searching for the truth and wisdom. I have found what secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers have to offer are nothing but broken cisterns that can hold no water. Unlike the Word of God which is the fountain of living waters.

Some scientists believe everything in this universe is made up energy, this energy is what governs the movement of everything in this universe. This is an illusion created by the futility of imagination. Each soul is not to be part of God’s energy. It is the power of God that moves everything in this universe. Col 1:29, “For this purpose also I labor, striving according to His power, which mightily works within me.” The power of God is working within every believer. Scientists do not even know why they are mistaken and why science is a failure. For Jesus says, Mat 22:29, “But Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures nor the power of God.” Daniel knew by revelation what scientists and philosophers do not know: Dan 2:20, “Daniel said,
“Let the name of God be blessed forever and ever,
For wisdom and power belong to Him.” Do you know what is the smallest matter in this universe? Human opinion! Humans who do not have wisdom and power. God determines every matter and brings it about. Poor scientists can only see the material things, they are blind to the invisible, spiritual, supernatural, and eternal things. It is not energy or matter that fills the entire universe. It is Jesus Christ who descended and ascended higher than all the Heaven who fills the entire universe with Himself. Eph 4:10, “And the same one who descended is the one who ascended higher than all the Heavens, so that He might fill the entire universe with Himself.”

Eph 1:17, “that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him.”

Note: The knowledge of God, the Father of glory, cannot be obtained by science and philosophy, it can be obtained only by revelation. Why? Eph 3:3, “that by revelation there was made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief. By referring to this, when you read you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit.” God is the greatest mystery far beyond the field of science and philosophy. Only through revelation we may understand the mystery of Christ. God reveals the mystery in the Spirit. Secularists and unbelieving scientists do not have the Spirit of God.

If reason is regarded broadly as the sum total of man’s power of natural knowledge, revelation is the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past, the eternal God who has made known by the Scriptures the mystery of Christ to all nations, leading to obedience of faith.

Rom 16:25-27, “Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my Gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past, but now is manifested, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, has been made known to all the nations, leading to obedience of faith; to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory forever. Amen.”

Note: Revelation in Greek is apokalypsis which means manifestation; enlightenment; laying bare; disclosure of truth; instruction concerning things before unknown; appearance; an uncovering; denudation; revealing of divine truth; - which occurs 18 times in the New Testament. God is the only One who has the key to open the Mystery through revelation.

Mat 9:12-13, “But when Jesus heard this, He said, “It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick.“ But go and learn what this means: ‘I DESIRE COMPASSION, AND NOT SACRIFICE,’ for I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Jhn 1:29, “The next day he saw Jesus coming to him and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”

Note: The Scriptures cited above disclose or reveal the salvation of God. Science is blind and reason is dumb and cannot behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

2Co 5:21, “He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”

Gal 1:4, “who gave Himself for our sins so that He might rescue us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father.”

1Th 1:10, “and to wait for His Son from Heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come.”

Heb 2:14, “Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil.”

Heb 11:6, “And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.”

Note: The Scriptures cited above explains the salvation of God through Jesus Christ who died for sinners, who destroyed the work of the devil. He who comes to God must believe that He is. God is: Deu 4:24, “For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.” Deu 4:31, “For the LORD your God is a compassionate God; He will not fail you nor destroy you nor forget the covenant with your fathers which He swore to them.” Deu 10:17, “For the LORD your God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God who does not show partiality nor take a bribe.” 2Ch 30:9,“For if you return to the LORD, your brothers and your sons will find compassion before those who led them captive and will return to this land. For the LORD your God is gracious and compassionate, and will not turn His face away from you if you return to Him.” Job 33:12, “Behold, let me tell you, you are not right in this, for God is greater than man.” Job 36:5, “Behold, God is mighty but does not despise any; He is mighty in strength of understanding.” Job 36:22, “Behold, God is exalted in His power; Who is a teacher like Him?” Psa 7:11, “God is a righteous judge, and a God who has indignation every day.” Psa 47:7, “For God is the King of all the earth; sing praises with a skillful psalm.” Psa 68:20, “God is to us a God of deliverances; And to GOD the Lord belong escapes from death.” Psa 75:7, “But God is the Judge; He puts down one and exalts another.” Psa 77:13, “Your way, O God, is holy; What god is great like our God?”Psa 84:11, “For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
The LORD gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.”Psa 115:3, “But our God is in the Heavens; He does whatever He pleases.” Isa 12:2,“Behold, God is my salvation,
I will trust and not be afraid; For the LORD GOD is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation.” Dan 5:21,“He was also driven away from mankind, and his heart was made like that of beasts, and his dwelling place was with the wild donkeys. He was given grass to eat like cattle, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until he recognized that the Most High God is ruler over the realm of mankind and that He sets over it whomever He wishes.” Jhn 3:33, “He who has received His testimony has set his seal to this, that God is true.” Jhn 4:24, “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” Gal 3:20, “Now a mediator is not for one party only; whereas God is only one.” 1Jo 1:5, “This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.” 1Jo 4:8, “The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.” Jhn 17:3, “This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” Rev 1:8, “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “Who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

If anyone wants to come to God, he cannot come as a president, prime minister, king, queen, prince, princess, nobility, general, secretary, chairman of the board, executive, tycoon, professor, scholar, philosopher, scientist, engineer, specialist, consultant, actor, actress, artist, singer, doctor, dentist, philanthropist, etc. You can come to God only as a penitent sinner in the name of Jesus Christ. There is only one way to come to God, it is to come as a contrite sinner through Jesus Christ. If you present your name card to show who you are, it will rejected outright. For in the sight of God, your title is only a sinner.

Some hold the opinion there are three types of justification offered in the Old Testament for the suffering of the righteous: eschatological, remedial, and expiatory. The suffering of the righteous has nothing to do with eschatology. The suffering of the righteous is not necessarily remedial. The suffering of the righteous is never expiatory. Only the sufferings of Jesus are expiatory to atone for the sins of the world.

Gal 1:11-12, “For I would have you know, brethren, that the Gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through the revelation of Jesus Christ.”

Eph 1:17-19, “that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might.”

Note: The salvation of God is revealed through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Gospel of God is not according to man, not received from man, not taught by man; Apostle Paul received it through the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Some scientists claim the goal of science was to discover both how nature worked and why it was the way it was and not otherwise. That being the case, science cannot discover how God created the universe, how God became Man in the person of Jesus Christ, how Christ redeemed mankind by vicarious death, how a man being born by the Holy Spirit, how the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God to save all who believe in Him, how Jesus Christ is coming again to establish the Kingdom of Heaven and rules with the saints for eternity-- and why God so loved the unworthy men and wants all to repent and believe in Jesus Christ. Science cannot discover the invisible, the spiritual, the supernatural and the eternal. Science cannot discover God for God is Spirit.

Eph 3:3-9, “that by revelation there was made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief. By referring to this, when you read you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit; to be specific, that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the Body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the Gospel, of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of God’s grace which was given to me according to the working of His power. To me, the very least of all saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ, and to bring to light what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God who created all things; I speak to you either by way of revelation or of knowledge or of prophecy or of teaching?”

Note: It is absolutely impossible and hopeless for science and philosophy and any religions to know the mystery of Christ which for ages past has been hidden in God who created all things. The mystery of Christ has now been revealed to God’s holy Apostles and Prophets in the Spirit. Science and philosophy are not able to enter the sphere of the Spirit.

Some claim science was rooted in very distinctly Christian foundations, but the Christian faith is not rooted in science and philosophy. Christianity is not rooted in science or philosophy at any time any place. Renaissance came out of Reformation, Reformation did not come out of Renaissance. Christianity did not come out Reformation. Christianity came out the Revelation of Jesus Christ. Reformation was a return to original Christianity.

Rom 16:25, “Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my Gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past.”

2Co 4:4, “in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the Image of God.”

Note: Secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers may think they have brilliant minds. Little do they know that in whose case the god of this world (the devil) has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the Image of God.

A certain wise believer has well said: “The blessing of the Old Testament is prosperity, the blessing of the New Testament is adversity.” If you rely on human reason to find the eternal life, you are doomed to failure. By the revelation of God, I come to the knowledge of eternal salvation. By grace and through faith in Jesus Christ I was saved, and henceforth I am a Christian and follower of Jesus Christ forever and ever.

IV. THE WAY TO GOD

The worldly wise men offered there are many ways to God, although not one of them knows what way or which way. There are not the ways to God. There is only one way to God. For Jesus says, Jhn 14:6, “Jesus said to him, “I AM the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.”

It is vital to state from the beginning, there is no way to God discovered or invented by man, science, philosophy, or religion. Jesus Christ is the only Way to God. The way to God is not the way of Augustine, not the way of Aquinas, not the way of Calvin, nor the way of any man. No embodiment of human reflections, no enlightenment of rationalism, no principal factor of scientific research, no theological tenets, is the ultimate or absolute or objective reality. The absolute or ultimate cannot somehow be embedded in the physical. For Jesus Christ who was God became Man came into the world to reveal God, the Absolute and Ultimate, says, Jhn 4:23-24, “But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” Since the days of Jesus, the true worshipers of God must worship the Father in spirit and truth. Why? God is Spirit, not the physical or material. Scientists can never find God, because they only work in the field of the physical or material, not in spirit and truth. The creation can never replace the Creator. Our minds are not able to grasp the truth in Christ. There are conditions for one to come to the knowledge of the truth:

Scientists and philosophers assume there are many ways to God, although they know none. Some 2,000 years ago Jesus Christ reveals God and declares to the whole world: Jhn 14:5-11, “Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I AM the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him.” Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves.”

Note: Jesus is the only Way to God. To know Jesus Christ is to know God the Father. He who has seen Jesus Christ has seen God. Jesus Christ is in the Father, and the Father is in Jesus Christ. God and Jesus Christ are ONE.

In the Book of the Acts several passages for the first time called the Christian faith “the Way.” Act 9:1-2, “ Now Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest, and asked for letters from him to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, both men and women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.”

Act 19:9, “ But when some were becoming hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the people, he withdrew from them and took away the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.”

Act 19:23, “About that time there occurred no small disturbance concerning the Way.”

Act 22:3-5,“I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city, educated under Gamaliel, strictly according to the law of our fathers, being zealous for God just as you all are today. I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and putting both men and women into prisons, as also the high priest and all the Council of the elders can testify. From them I also received letters to the brethren, and started off for Damascus in order to bring even those who were there to Jerusalem as prisoners to be punished.”

Act 24:22, “But Felix, having a more exact knowledge about the Way, put them off, saying, “When Lysias the commander comes down, I will decide your case.”

Note: It was no accident that Christianity, the Christian faith, is known as the Way, in reference to Jesus Christ is the Way to God. Some have knowledge about the Way, and some have a more exact knowledge about the Way. For example, I have exact knowledge about the Way since I have studied the Holy Bible from childhood, but Apostle Paul has a much more exact knowledge of the Way because he received direct revelation from Jesus Christ Himself, and Paul was inspired to write 14 books of the New Testament. No believers have more exact knowledge of the Way than the Apostles and the Prophets.

Science does not know the way to God. Philosophy does not know the way to God. No man knows the way to God. All men (including scientists and philosophers) have two problems: They do not know the way to God and at the same time they want to see God. Most scientists and philosophers are so dubbed and duped that they believe there are ways to God even though they know of none. Now do not confuse the way to God and the way of God. Here we dwell on the way to God, and we will dwell on the way of God later. There is no historical precedence that anyone may declare he is the way to God. Except the Incarnate God who became Man in Jesus Christ declares to the world in answer to a question of His disciple, Christ is the Way to God; no one comes to the Father (God) but through Christ. Science and philosophy is not an access to the way of God. Religions are not an access to the way of God. There is no self-sustaining maturity either in science or philosophy to be the way to God. Greeks focus on search for wisdom, they cannot find wisdom that leads to God. All efforts and means fail to find the way to God.

Now, do not confuse the “way to God” and the “way of God”. The way of God in this respect, Mat 22:16, “And they sent their disciples to Him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are truthful and teach the way of God in truth, and defer to no one; for You are not partial to any.” Jesus Christ teaches the way of God in truth, and defer to one one; for Jesus Christ is not partial to any. Luk 20:21, “They questioned Him, saying, “Teacher, we know that You speak and teach correctly, and You are not partial to any, but teach the way of God in truth.” Jesus Christ speaks and teaches correctly, and He is not partial to any, but teaches the way of God in truth.

Act 18:24-26, “Now a Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus; and he was mighty in the Scriptures. This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he was speaking and teaching accurately the things concerning Jesus, being acquainted only with the baptism of John; and he began to speak out boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.”

Note: Apollos was mighty in the Scriptures, which means the Old Testament. By that time the New Testament was not completed yet. He was acquainted only with the baptism of John, he did not know the Gospel of Jesus Christ fully. So Priscilla and Aquila who had been co-workers of Apostle Paul were able to explain to Apollos the way of God more accurately.

The way of God is the way of salvation. To know the way of the Lord, you must know the Word of God. The Son of God not only teaches the way of God correctly and in truth, He is the Way to lead us to God. Jesus Christ is the only Way to God, there is no other way. Jesus Christ teaches the way of God in telling us how to be justified before God, how to receive the forgiveness of sins, how to believe in God, how to be saved through Him, how to pray to God, how to walk in the way of the Lord, how to serve God in spirit and in truth, how to do the will of God from the heart, and how to conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of God.

We have such confidence we have only through Christ toward God. Jhn 1:17, “For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” Through Jesus Christ, we the human race may receive grace and truth that peoples in time past did not know. 2Co 5:18-19, “Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.” This is the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ, God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting our sins and trespasses against us. Rom 3:22, “even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction.” There is no more distinction between the Jews and the Gentiles. The righteousness of God by grace through faith in Jesus Christ is granted freely for all those who believe. Rom 3:24, “being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus.” Through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus, all believers are justified as a gift of God’s grace. Salvation is the gift of God. Rom 5:1, “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Heb 9:14, “how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” Heb 10:10, “By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” God is the Holy God who shows Himself in righteousness, by His will believers have been sanctified. 2Co 8:9, “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.” 1Pe 2:5, “you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” Christians, the saved sinners who become children of God, are now acceptable to God. All the Scriptures cited above explain what it means that Jesus Christ is the Way to God. Jesus Christ, the way to God, saved me from sins. That is why I am a Christian. Rom 16:27, “to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory forever. Amen.”

1Pe 3:21, “Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you—not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.”

1Pe 4:11, “Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.”

Jde 1:25, “to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.”

Eph 2:16-19, “and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity. AND HE CAME AND PREACHED PEACE TO YOU WHO WERE FAR AWAY, AND PEACE TO THOSE WHO WERE NEAR; for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household.”

Note: The Scriptures cited above explains through the redemption of Jesus Christ, mankind may have access to God in one Spirit. The wonder of the revelation of Jesus Christ is the truth that God is Spirit. The way to God is not through the flesh. Through Jesus Christ we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father, the Almighty God. The Spirit is the Spirit of Christ who reconciles believers through the cross. Through the redemption of Christ who died on the cross to atone for our sins by the blood of Jesus. Where sins are removed or forgiven, we believers are sanctified by the Holy Spirit so that we have access to God without fear. The way Christ is the Way to God is for believers to discover God is not the awesome God who descended upon Mount Sinai in fire, and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked violently. (Exo 19:18) What we find in Christ is that we are no longer strangers and aliens, but we are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household.

By revelation, the way of Salvation is made clear. The way of salvation is the way of God. Christianity is in itself sufficient for eudaimonia regardless of human circumstances and condition.

Act 16:16-40, “It happened that as we were going to the place of prayer, a slave-girl having a spirit of divination met us, who was bringing her masters much profit by fortune-telling. Following after Paul and us, she kept crying out, saying, “These men are bond-servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation.” She continued doing this for many days. But Paul was greatly annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” And it came out at that very moment. But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the market place before the authorities, and when they had brought them to the chief magistrates, they said, “These men are throwing our city into confusion, being Jews, and are proclaiming customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans.”The crowd rose up together against them, and the chief magistrates tore their robes off them and proceeded to order them to be beaten with rods. When they had struck them with many blows, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to guard them securely; and he, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks. But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them; and suddenly there came a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison house were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were unfastened. When the jailer awoke and saw the prison doors opened, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. But Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here!” And he called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas, and after he brought them out, he said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” And they spoke the Word of the Lord to him together with all who were in his house. And he took them that very hour of the night and washed their wounds, and immediately he was baptized, he and all his household. And he brought them into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, having believed in God with his whole household. Now when day came, the chief magistrates sent their policemen, saying, “Release those men.” And the jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The chief magistrates have sent to release you. Therefore come out now and go in peace.” But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us in public without trial, men who are Romans, and have thrown us into prison; and now are they sending us away secretly? No indeed! But let them come themselves and bring us out.” The policemen reported these words to the chief magistrates. They were afraid when they heard that they were Romans, and they came and appealed to them, and when they had brought them out, they kept begging them to leave the city. They went out of the prison and entered the house of Lydia, and when they saw the brethren, they encouraged them and departed.”

Once I passed through the richest Buddhist temple in Shanghai and said to the people, “It appears superstition makes big money. Truth does not make money.” Interestingly, a spirit of divination has more knowledge than men, bringing her masters much profit by fortune-telling. The spirit followed Paul and Silas, she kept crying out, saying, “These men are bond-servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation.” Whenever demons met Jesus Christ, they were so afraid to be sent to Hell for punishment. She continued doing this for many days. Paul was greatly annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” And it came out at that very moment. But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them and when they had brought them to the chief magistrates with false accusations. The chief magistrates ordered them to be beaten with rods and threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to guard them securely. This is the proof that the Christian faith is worth living and worth suffering for. Paul and Silas about midnight were praying and singing hymns of praise to God. Most people would sing songs when they come out of prison, Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God when they were thrown into prison. This is the power of God that enables His servants to attain all steadfastness and patience, suffering joyously. Suddenly there came a great earthquake, God intervened. Immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were unfastened. The poor jailer drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. The problem of all human governments and laws, there is no justice and the innocent is to be the victim. Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here!” Unlike other religions, Christianity is never a force to harm. Western powers and leaders are harming the world by lying, killing, and robbing. Jesus Christ came into the world to save, not to destroy. The force to destroy and harm belongs to the work of the devil.

What must I do to be saved? Salvation is personal, done to the individual. Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household. No one can be saved by merit or good works as taught by most religions. Sinners cannot save themselves, and no one can save them. This is the good news: Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. Jesus died on the cross to atone our sins so that we receive the forgiveness of sins. Jesus rose from the dead to justify all who come and accept Him as Lord and Savior. You are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, it is the gift of God. The salvation is free, free to whosoever will without cost and without money.

The fiercest controversies and debates have convulsed the religious world. However, salvation does not depend on opinions of men or creeds of religions. Salvation is not the way of man, salvation is the way of God. The magician, the priest, the prophet and the sage cannot save themselves, much less to save you.

The priest and the prophet played important roles in the Jewish religion, but they were unlike the priest and the prophet of other religions. In the Old Testament, the priest and the prophet played different roles, but together they served God. In Christianity, Jesus Christ is the High Priest in the highest Heavens. Heb 4:14, “Therefore, since we have the Great High Priest who has passed through the Heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.” Heb 7:24-27, “but Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues forever, holds His priesthood permanently. Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. For it was fitting for us to have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners and exalted above the Heavens; who does not need daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people, because this He did once for all when He offered up Himself.” So Jesus Christ is the permanent Great High Priest of all believers, and He always lives to make intercession for them. Therefore, the priests of the Roman Catholic Church are illegal and useless.

Martin Luther involved himself courageously in great matters, when he appeared at the Diet of Worms, the matters in question were the greatest in the world; namely, the Word of God and the salvation of souls. For that reason, in my opinion, Martin Luther was the greatest man ever lived outside of the Holy Bible.

Let us take first the Word. The Scriptural meaning of “Word” has great significance. It has two meanings. First, it refers to the Jesus Christ, the Word of God. Jhn 1:1, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” In the beginning before time and space, before the universe, was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Jesus Christ pre-existed or existed before, and He was God before He became Man. Jhn 1:14, “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.” The Word became flesh means the Incarnation, God became Man in the person of Jesus Christ. 1Jo 1:1, “What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of Life—” Jesus Christ is the Word of Life. Rev 19:11-13, “And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.” The Scripture cited above describes the appearance of the Faithful and True, Jesus Christ, the Word of God.

Secondly, the Word means Gen 15:1, “After these things the Word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying,
“Do not fear, Abram,
I am a shield to you;
Your reward shall be very great.”

Note: Word in Hebrew is dabar which means saying; chronicles; speech; utterance; a spoken matter; message; discourse; an oracle; - which occurs 1,416 times in the Old Testament. Mat 15:6, “he is not to honor his father or his mother.' And by this you invalidated the Word of God for the sake of your tradition.” Word in Greek is logos which means saying; speech; utterance; decree; mandate; order; declaration; dictum; discourse; instruction; doctrine; teaching; reason; explanation; the Divine Expression (Christ); narration; - which occurs 334 times in the New Testament. No one can use tradition or the teaching of man to invalidate the Word of God.

Luk 5:1, “Now it happened that while the crowd was pressing around Him and listening to the Word of God, He was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.” The Word of Jesus is the Word of God. Prophets of God spoke according to the Word of God. When Jesus speaks God speaks. Jesus is the Living Word of God. The Holy Bible is the written Word of God. Jhn 2:22, “So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture and the Word which Jesus had spoken.” The Scripture is synonymous with the Word of God. Luk 11:28, “But He said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the Word of God and observe it.” Christians are blessed not only hear the Word of God and must do it. The Word of God is also known as the Word of the Lord. Act 8:25, “So, when they had solemnly testified and spoken the Word of the Lord, they started back to Jerusalem, and were preaching the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.” The Word of God is also known as the Word of the Gospel. Act 15:7, “After there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brethren, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles would hear the Word of the Gospel and believe.” The Word of the Lord is also known as the Word of His grace. Act 20:32,“And now I commend you to God and to the Word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.” The Word of God is also known as the Word of Promise. Rom 9:9, “For this is the Word of Promise: “AT THIS TIME I WILL COME, AND SARAH SHALL HAVE A SON.” The Word of God is also known as the Word of Faith. Rom 10:8, But what does it say? “THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART”—that is, the Word of Faith which we are preaching.” The Word of God is also known as the Word of Christ. Rom 10:17, “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the Word of Christ.” The Word of God is also known as the Word of the Cross. 1Co 1:18, “For the Word of the Cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” The Word of God is also known as the Word of Reconciliation. 2Co 5:19, “namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the Word of Reconciliation.” The Word of God is also known as the Word of Truth. 2Co 6:7, “in the Word of Truth, in the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left.” The Word of God is also known as the Word of Life. Phl 2:16, “holding fast the Word of Life, so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not run in vain nor toil in vain.” Very often the Word of God is simply designated as the “Word” in the Bible.

The Word of God is supreme whether in the Old Testament or in the New Testament. In the Old Testament, Psa 33:6-12, “By the Word of the LORD the heavens were made, and by the breath of His mouth all their host. He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deeps in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. The LORD nullifies the counsel of the nations; He frustrates the plans of the peoples. The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of His heart from generation to generation. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.” By the Word of the Lord, God created the universe and all things in it. For God spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood fast. The God of the Bible is the Creator and the Lord of the universe.

Psa 97:1-6, “The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice;
Let the many islands be glad. Clouds and thick darkness surround Him;
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him and burns up His adversaries round about. His lightnings lit up the world; the earth saw and trembled. The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. The Heavens declare His righteousness,
And all the peoples have seen His glory.”

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. Sadly, there is not one nation whose God is the Lord today. There are some Westerns nations that pretend to be Christians, but their leaders lie, lie, and lie; kill, kill, and kill; rob, rob, and rob. In fact, there is not one Christian nation on earth. For Christ says, Jhn 18:36, “Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My Kingdom is not of this realm.”

The characteristic way for the prophet of God in the Old Testament to speak is using the formula “Thus says the Lord.” Exo 5:1, “And afterward Moses and Aaron came and said to Pharaoh, “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, ‘Let My people go that they may celebrate a feast to Me in the wilderness.'” Exo 8:1, “Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the LORD, “Let My people go, that they may serve Me.” The God of Israel wants Pharaoh to let the Jewish people go, so that they may serve the Lord. The prophet is a spokesman of the Lord, he speaks what God says, he does not speak for himself.

2Ch 20:15, “and he said, “Listen, all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and King Jehoshaphat: thus says the LORD to you, ‘Do not fear or be dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours but God's.”

Note: God wants Israel not to fear or be dismayed no matter how great the multitude are his enemies. In the history of the world, how many times God fought the battles for Israel. You can find out the records in the Old Testament.

2Ch 34:24, “thus says the LORD, “Behold, I am bringing evil on this place and on its inhabitants, even all the curses written in the book which they have read in the presence of the king of Judah.”

Note: God is able to bring evil on any nation and on its inhabitant, even all the curses written in the book. Beware, Western powers that have done so much evil in the world. Beware, Japan that denied all its war crimes, genocide of 35 million Chinese, sex slavery, slave labor and all atrocities. God can bring evil on any nation!

Isa 44:6, “Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts:
‘I am the first and I am the last,
And there is no God besides Me.”

Note: God through His Word reveals His sovereignty and identity. The God of the universe is ONE, there is no other.

Jer 14:15, “Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the prophets who are prophesying in My name, although it was not I who sent them—yet they keep saying, ‘There will be no sword or famine in this land'—by sword and famine those prophets shall meet their end!”

Note: The Lord warns all false prophets who are prophesying in His name, their end is death by any means.

Jer 29:17, “thus says the LORD of hosts, ‘Behold, I am sending upon them the sword, famine and pestilence, and I will make them like split-open figs that cannot be eaten due to rottenness.”

Note: God rules over the nations. Behold, God can send the nations or peoples sword, famine and pestilence, and the curses. No superpower can withstand the judgment of God.

Jer 30:2, “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, ‘Write all the words which I have spoken to you in a book.”

Note: It was the will of God to write all the Words which God had spoken to the prophets in a book. This is how we got the Holy Bible.

Eze 5:5,“Thus says the Lord GOD, ‘This is Jerusalem; I have set her at the center of the nations, with lands around her.”

Note: God deals with Israel in a special uniqueness. Thus says the Lord God, He had set Jerusalem at the center of the nations. The center of the world is not Washington, not London, not Paris, not Moscow, or Beijing.

Eze 11:5, “Then the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and He said to me, “Say, ‘Thus says the LORD, “So you think, house of Israel, for I know your thoughts.”

Note: How can the prophet know what the Lord wants him to say? The Word of the Lord will come to the prophet directly in a vision or in a dream through the Spirit of the Lord: 1Sa 15:10, “Then the Word of the LORD came to Samuel, saying.” 2Sa 7:4, “But in the same night the Word of the LORD came to Nathan, saying.” 2Ch 11:2, “But the Word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying.” Isa 38:4, “Then the Word of the LORD came to Isaiah, saying.” When the Word of the Lord came to a prophet, the prophet will know for sure without a mistake. To listen to the Word of God is to obey God.

The following are the Old Testament’s descriptions of the Word of God:

(1). Tested - 2Sa 22:31, “As for God, His way is blameless;
The Word of the LORD is tested;
He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.”

Note: Test in Hebrew is tsaraph which means to try; to refine; to purge; to purify; to melt; to smelt; to prove; to examine; which occurs 33 times in the Old Testament.

(2). Tried - Psa 18:30, As for God, His way is blameless;
The Word of the LORD is tried;
He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.”

Note: In the original word to test is the same to try.

(3). Upright - Psa 33:4, “For the word of the LORD is upright,
And all His work is done in faithfulness.”

Note: Upright in Hebrew is yashar which means right; righteous; straight; just; meet; well; correct; fitting; proper; approved; pleasing; true; balanced; - which occurs 137 times in the Old Testament.

(4). Truth - 1Ki 17:24, “Then the woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God and that the Word of the LORD in your mouth is truth.” 2Sa 7:28, “Now, O Lord GOD, You are God, and Your Words are truth, and You have promised this good thing to Your servant.”

Note: Truth in Hebrew is 'emeth which m

(5). Good - 2Ki 20:19, “Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The Word of the LORD which you have spoken is good.” For he thought, “Is it not so, if there will be peace and truth in my days?”

Note: Good in Hebrew is towb which means well; fair; precious; fine; beautiful; favorable; pleasant; agreeable; excellent; appropriate; becoming; kind; benign; right; beneficial; upright; - which occurs 597 times in the Old Testament.

(6). Holy - Jer 23:9, “As for the prophets:
My heart is broken within me,
All my bones tremble;
I have become like a drunken man,
Even like a man overcome with wine,
Because of the LORD
And because of His holy Words.”

Note: Holy in Hebrew is qodesh which means hallowed; sanctified; dedicated; consecrated; sacred; separate; set-apart; - which occurs 519 times in the Old Testament. The Words of God are holy.

(7). Do not omit a Word - Jer 26:2, “Thus says the LORD, ‘Stand in the court of the LORD’S house, and speak to all the cities of Judah who have come to worship in the LORD’S house all the words that I have commanded you to speak to them. Do not omit a Word!”

Note: Do not omit a Word of the Lord. This reminds us what Jesus says, Luk 16:17, “But it is easier for Heaven and earth to pass away than for one stroke of a letter of the Law to fail.”

(8). Pure - Psalm 12:6, “The Words of the LORD are pure words;
As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, refined seven times.”

Note: Pure in Hebrew is tahowr which means clean; fair; unmixed; unalloyed; unpolluted; spotless; stainless; absolute; - which occurs 96 times in the Old Testament.

(9). Man lives by - Deu 8:3, “He humbled you and let you be hungry, and fed you with manna which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that He might make you understand that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD.”

Note: Man does not live by bread alone. Man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord.

(10). Sustain the weary one - Isa 50:4, “The Lord GOD has given Me the tongue of disciples, that I may know how to sustain the weary one with a word. He awakens Me morning by morning,
He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple.”

Note: Sustain in Hebrew is `uwth which means to succor; to speak in season; to help; to aid; to assist; to strengthen; to encourage; to give support; - which occurs 1 time in the Old Testament. The Word of the Lord sustains the weary one.

(11). A joy and the delight of my heart - Jer 15:16, “ Your Words were found and I ate them, and Your Words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart; for I have been called by Your name, O LORD God of hosts.”

Note: The Word of the Lord became for me a joy and the delight of my heart.

(12). Righteousness - Isa 45:23, “I have sworn by Myself, the Word has gone forth from My mouth in righteousness and will not turn back, that to Me every knee will bow, every tongue will swear allegiance.”

Note: Righteousness in Hebrew is tsĕdaqah which means justice; truthfulness; rightness; virtue; rectitude; - which occurs 167 times in the Old Testament. The Word of the Lord is righteous and just.

(13). Will surely stand - Jer 44:29, “This will be the sign to you,’ declares the LORD, ‘that I am going to punish you in this place, so that you may know that My words will surely stand against you for harm.”

The Words of the Lord will surely stand against any enemy.

(14). Accomplishing and Succeeding - Isa 55:11, “So will My Word be which goes forth from My mouth; it will not return to Me empty,
Without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.”

Note: The Word of God cannot fail, cannot be broken. The Word of God is for sure accomplishing and succeeding.

(15). Understandable - Neh 8:12, “All the people went away to eat, to drink, to send portions and to celebrate a great festival, because they understood the Words which had been made known to them.”

(16). Runs very swiftly - Psa 147:15, “ He sends forth His command to the earth; His Word runs very swiftly.”

(17). Like fire, like a hammer - Jer 23:29, “Is not My Word like fire?” declares the LORD, “and like a hammer which shatters a rock?”

(18). Settled in Heaven - Psa 119:89, “ Lamedh.
Forever, O LORD,
Your Word is settled in Heaven.”

(19). Stands forever - Isa 40:8, “The grass withers, the flower fades,
But the Word of our God stands forever.”

(20). It is your life - Deu 32:47, “For it is not an idle Word for you; indeed it is your life. And by this Word you will prolong your days in the land, which you are about to cross the Jordan to possess.”

(21). It gives understanding - Psa 119:130, “The unfolding of Your Words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.”

(22). The law of the Lord is perfect - Psa 19:7, “The law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.”

Note: What the Lord has spoken is His Word. What the Lord has spoken is absolute, final, supreme, ultimate and eternal. I believe the law of the Lord and the Word of God are the same, it is perfect. In summary, God is as good as His Word.

In the New Testament, the Word of God is explained and expounded more exactly and fully. Heb 11:3, “By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the Word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.” The New Testament provides a focus on things present and things to come.

2Pe 3:5-7, “For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the Word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water, through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water. But by His Word the present Heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.”

Note: In the New Testament the Word of God says this present Heavens and earth will be destroyed by fire at the day of judgment when the Lord returns to the earth to reign with the saints forever and ever.

Rom 2:5, “But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God.”

Rom 16:25, “Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my Gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past.”

Note: The Old Testament can be summarized by the Law of Moses, the New Testament can be summarized by grace and truth of Jesus Christ. Grace and truth of Jesus Christ can be summarized by the revelation. The revelation can be summarized in the Gospel of Christ, the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past.

Eph 3:3-7, “that by revelation there was made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief. By referring to this, when you read you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit; to be specific, that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the Body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the Gospel, of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of God’s grace which was given to me according to the working of His power.”

Note: The mystery of Christ was not made known to the sons of men in other generations, as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit. To be specific, that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the Body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the Gospel, according to the gift of God’s grace. They mystery of Christ is the revelation of the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ, whereby not only Jews but the Gentiles also, may be saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. This is the good news presented in the New Testament. Jesus Christ is the beginning of the Gospel.

The Jews are called the Circumcision, the Gentiles are called the Uncircumcision. The Gentiles were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus the Gentiles who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. Through the redemption accomplished by Christ on the cross, Gentile believers may be saved. For Jesus Christ is our peace, who made both groups, the Jewish and Gentile believers into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Christ He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace, and might reconcile them both in one Body to God through the cross, by it having put to the enmity. For through Christ we both the Jewish and Gentile believers have access in one Spirit to the Father. So then the Jewish and Gentile believers are no long strangers and aliens, but fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself be the corner stone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy Temple in the Lord, in whom we also are being built together in a dwelling of God in the Spirit.

This is what the New Testament is all about:

Mat 13:16-17, “But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear. For truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.”

Note: Jesus Christ said the disciples and the people were blessed, because they saw and they heard that many prophets and righteous men desired to see and did not see it, and to hear what they did not hear it. What many prophets and righteous men in the ages past desired to see and hear? Jhn 1:14, “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.” They did not see and hear the Incarnation, God became flesh in Jesus Christ, His glory, full of grace and truth.

Rom 16:25-27, “Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my Gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past, but now is manifested, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, has been made known to all the nations, leading to obedience of faith; to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory forever. Amen.”

Note: The Gospel of the preaching of Jesus Christ is the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past, but now (since the first coming of Christ) is manifested, has been made known to all the nations. God commands all nations and peoples to repent and believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, leading to obedience of faith. Faith is faith in Jesus Christ, obedience is obedience to the truth purified our souls.

Heb 4:12, “For the Word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”

Here is an example how powerful the Word of God is: Act 2:36-41, “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.”

Note: Prick in Greek is katanyssomai which means to pierce thoroughly; to sting to the quick; to agitate violently; to pain the mind sharply; to smite with poignant sorrow; - which occurs 1 times only in the New Testament. Untoward in Greek is skolios which means crooked; wicked; froward; perverse; unjust; unfair; surly; warped; - which occurs 4 times in the New Testament. Look how crooked is this generation. Just watch how Western leaders lie, lie, and lie; kill, kill, and kill; rob, rob, and rob and they pretend to be Christians and they do evil in the name of democracy, human rights, civil rights, equality, justice, freedom, humanity, etc. Just watch how Western media lie, lie, and lie and make fake news and fake reports without shame and without qualms. Can you trust any government, any bank, any doctor and hospital, any corporation, any institution in this crooked world? The power of the Gospel convicted three thousand souls in one day and they believed and were baptized.

2Pe 1:19-21, “So we have the Prophetic Word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the Morning Star arises in your hearts. But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.”

Note: The Prophetic Word is the Word of God, like a lamp shining in a dark place. The Morning Star is Jesus Christ may arise in your hearts. The problem of secular academics and unbelieving theologians is the fact they made private interpretations of the Word of God. The Word of God is made by an act of God’s will, men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God. The only paramount question for all Christians in all matters of faith and conduct is whether the Word of God has said it, and what the Word of God says. All opinions of men do not matter. Christianity stands firm on the Word of God which cannot fail or fall.

The Old Testament prophesied the Messiah shall come. In the New Testament the Messiah appears in Jesus Christ. The New Testament fulfilled the Old Testament. The New Testament presents the Incarnate God in the life and work of Jesus Christ. The Word of God now especially proclaims to you the way of salvation in this last days, the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ, so that you may believe and repent and be saved from the wrath of God through Him.

Thus, the New Testament invariably describes the Gospel of Jesus Christ as:

(1). The Word - Act 8:4, “Therefore, those who had been scattered went about preaching the Word.”

(2). The Word of the Kingdom - Mat 13:19,“When anyone hears the Word of the Kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the one on whom Seed was sown beside the road.”

(15). The Word of His power - Heb 1:3, “And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the Word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.”

(16). The Word of righteousness - Heb 5:13, “For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the Word of righteousness, for he is an infant.”

(17). The Word of the oath - Heb 7:28, “For the Law appoints men as high priests who are weak, but the Word of the oath, which came after the Law, appoints a Son, made perfect forever.”

(18). The Pure Milk of the Word - 1Pe 2:2, “like newborn babies, long for the Pure Milk of the Word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation.”

(19). The Word of My perseverance - Rev 3:10, “Because you have kept the Word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.”

There is no Gospel in the Old Testament, in the New Testament the Gospel also bears several names. But it is one Gospel, the same Gospel.

(1). The Gospel of the Kingdom - Mat 4:23, “Jesus was going throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness among the people.”

(5). The Gospel of the grace of God - Act 20:24,“But I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify solemnly of the Gospel of the grace of God.”

(8). The Gospel of the glory of Christ - 2Co 4:4, “in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.”

(10). The Gospel of peace - Eph 6:15, “and having shod YOUR FEET WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE.”

(11). The Gospel of our Lord Jesus - 2Th 1:8, “dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the Gospel of our Lord Jesus.”

(12). The Gospel according to the power of God - 2Ti 1:8, “Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord or of me His prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the Gospel according to the power of God.”

(13). The glorious Gospel of the blessed God - 1Ti 1:11, “according to the glorious Gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.”

(14). An eternal Gospel - Rev 14:6, “And I saw another angel flying in midheaven, having an eternal Gospel to preach to those who live on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people.”

Knowing the Gospel is the Gospel of Christ, what are we to do with the Word:

(1). Know the Word.

Jos 14:6, “Then the sons of Judah drew near to Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know the Word which the LORD spoke to Moses the man of God concerning you and me in Kadesh-barnea.”

(2). Remember the Word.

Jos 1:13,“Remember the Word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, ‘The LORD your God gives you rest and will give you this land.”

(3). Proclaim the Word of God.

1Sa 9:27, “As they were going down to the edge of the city, Samuel said to Saul, “Say to the servant that he might go ahead of us and pass on, but you remain standing now, that I may proclaim the word of God to you.”

Act 13:5, “When they reached Salamis, they began to proclaim the Word of God in the synagogues of the Jews; and they also had John as their helper.”

(4). Fulfill the Word of the Lord.

1Ki 2:27, “So Solomon dismissed Abiathar from being priest to the LORD, in order to fulfill the Word of the LORD, which He had spoken concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.”

(6). Hear the Word of the Lord.

1Ki 22:19, “Micaiah said, “Therefore, hear the Word of the LORD. I saw the LORD sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing by Him on His right and on His left.”

(7). Listen to the Word of the Lord.

2Ki 7:1, “Then Elisha said, “Listen to the Word of the LORD; thus says the LORD, ‘Tomorrow about this time a measure of fine flour will be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.'”

(8). Observe the Word of the Lord.

2Ch 34:21,“Go, inquire of the LORD for me and for those who are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book which has been found; for great is the wrath of the LORD which is poured out on us because our fathers have not observed the Word of the LORD, to do according to all that is written in this book.”

(9). Heed the Word of the Lord.

Jer 2:31, “O generation, heed the Word of the LORD.
Have I been a wilderness to Israel,
Or a land of thick darkness?
Why do My people say, ‘We are free to roam;
We will no longer come to You'?”

(10). Seek the Word of the Lord.

Amo 8:12, “People will stagger from sea to sea
And from the north even to the east;
They will go to and fro to seek the Word of the LORD,
But they will not find it.”

(11). Hear the Word of God and do it.

Luk 8:21, “But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the Word of God and do it.”

Act 11:1, “Now the apostles and the brethren who were throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the Word of God.”

(16). Rejoicing and glorifying the Word of the Lord.

Act 13:48, “When the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the Word of the Lord; and as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed.”

(17). Testifying to the Word of His grace.

Act 14:3, “Therefore they spent a long time there speaking boldly with reliance upon the Lord, who was testifying to the Word of His grace, granting that signs and wonders be done by their hands.”

(18). Devoting himself completely to the Word.

Act 18:5, “But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul began devoting himself completely to the Word, solemnly testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.”

(19). Teaching the Word of God.

Act 18:11, “And he settled there a year and six months, teaching the Word of God among them.”

(20). Hold fast the Word.

1Co 15:2, “by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the Word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.”

(21). Speak the Word of God without fear.

Phl 1:14, “and that most of the brethren, trusting in the Lord because of my imprisonment, have far more courage to speak the Word of God without fear.”

(22). Holding fast the Word of life.

Phl 2:16, “holding fast the Word of life, so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not run in vain nor toil in vain.”

(23). Carry out the preaching of the Word of God.

Col 1:25, “Of this church I was made a minister according to the stewardship from God bestowed on me for your benefit, so that I might fully carry out the preaching of the Word of God.”

2Ti 2:15, “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the Word of truth.”

(26). Preach the Word.

2Ti 4:2, “Preach the Word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.”

Act 8:4, “Therefore, those who had been scattered went about preaching the Word.”

(27). Prove yourselves doers of the Word.

Jas 1:22, “But prove yourselves doers of the Word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.”

(28). Long for the pure milk of the Word.

1Pe 2:2, “like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the Word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation.”

(29). Keep His Word.

1Jo 2:5, “but whoever keeps His Word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him.”

Rev 3:10, “Because you have kept the Word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.”

(30). Taste the good Word of God.

Heb 6:5, “and have tasted the good Word of God and the powers of the age to come.”

The Word of God is known as the Scripture, Isa 53:12,

“Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the great,
And He will divide the booty with the strong;
Because He poured out Himself to death,
And was numbered with the transgressors;
Yet He Himself bore the sin of many,
And interceded for the transgressors.

Mar 15:28, “And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And He was numbered with transgressors.”

Jhn 2:22, “So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture and the Word which Jesus had spoken.”

In the Old Testament, the writings of the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms are all considered as the Scriptures. The whole Old Testament is known as the Scripture. Psa 40:7, “Then I said, “Behold, I come; in the scroll of the book it is written of Me.” The book then was not like the book now. It was the scroll of the book.

Luk 24:44, “Now He said to them, “These are My Words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.”

Jos 8:31,”just as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded the sons of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of uncut stones on which no man had wielded an iron tool; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings.”

Note: The whole Old Testament is often referred to “as it is written in the book”. 2Ki 23:21, “Then the king commanded all the people saying, “Celebrate the Passover to the LORD your God as it is written in this book of the covenant.” The Old Testament is also known as this book of the covenant. In the New Testament, the Old Testament is often referred to, “As it is written”, “It is written”, “For it is written”, “Because it is written”, “Thus it is written”, “Just as it is written”; and Jesus specially uses the formula: “Have you not read…” Jesus never quoted other books or works of philosophers of His time or before. Jesus only quotes the Old Testament Book which is the Holy Scripture. Jhn 7:38,“He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'” Jhn 13:18, “I do not speak of all of you. I know the ones I have chosen; but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘HE WHO EATS MY BREAD HAS LIFTED UP HIS HEEL AGAINST ME.” Jhn 17:12, “While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name which You have given Me; and I guarded them and not one of them perished but the son of perdition, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.” Jhn 19:28, “After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had already been accomplished, to fulfill the Scripture, said, “I am thirsty.”

Note: The Apostles never quoted other books, only the Old Testament, Act 1:16, “Brethren, the Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit foretold by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus.” Act 8:32, “Now the passage of Scripture which he was reading was this:
“HE WAS LED AS A SHEEP TO SLAUGHTER;
AND AS A LAMB BEFORE ITS SHEARER IS SILENT,
SO HE DOES NOT OPEN HIS MOUTH.”

Act 8:25-40, “So, when they had solemnly testified and spoken the Word of the Lord, they started back to Jerusalem, and were preaching the Gospel to many villages of the Samaritans. But an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip saying, “Get up and go south to the road that descends from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (This is a desert road.) So he got up and went; and there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure; and he had come to Jerusalem to worship, and he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah. Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go up and join this chariot.” Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?” And he said, “Well, how could I, unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. Now the passage of Scripture which he was reading was this:
“HE WAS LED AS A SHEEP TO SLAUGHTER;
AND AS A LAMB BEFORE ITS SHEARER IS SILENT,
SO HE DOES NOT OPEN HIS MOUTH.“IN HUMILIATION HIS JUDGMENT WAS TAKEN AWAY;
WHO WILL RELATE HIS GENERATION?
FOR HIS LIFE IS REMOVED FROM THE EARTH.” The eunuch answered Philip and said, “Please tell me, of whom does the prophet say this? Of himself or of someone else?” Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture he preached Jesus to him. As they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch *said, “Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?” And Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.” And he ordered the chariot to stop; and they both went down into the water, Philip as well as the eunuch, and he baptized him. When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch no longer saw him, but went on his way rejoicing. But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he kept preaching the Gospel to all the cities until he came to Caesarea.”

Note: By the time Philip met the Ethiopian eunuch, the books of the Gospel may not have been completed. For the eunuch read the Book of Isaiah, a certain passage of the Scripture. Beginning from this Scripture, Philip preached Jesus Christ the Son of God to the eunuch. The eunuch believed with all his heart and was baptized. The Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away. Philip kept preaching the Gospel to all the cities probably from his memory of the Words of Jesus and His miracles.

Rom 4:3, “For what does the Scripture say? “ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.” Rom 9:17, “For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE I RAISED YOU UP, TO DEMONSTRATE MY POWER IN YOU, AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE PROCLAIMED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH.” Rom 10:11, “For the Scripture says, “WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.” Rom 11:2, “God has not rejected His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel?” Gal 3:8, “The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “ALL THE NATIONS WILL BE BLESSED IN YOU.” Gal 3:22, “But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.” Gal 4:30, “But what does the Scripture say? “CAST OUT THE BONDWOMAN AND HER SON,
FOR THE SON OF THE BONDWOMAN SHALL NOT BE AN HEIR WITH THE SON OF THE FREE WOMAN.” 1Ti 5:18, “For the Scripture says, “YOU SHALL NOT MUZZLE THE OX WHILE HE IS THRESHING,” and “The laborer is worthy of his wages.” Jas 2:23, “and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “AND ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS,” and he was called the friend of God.”

Note: All the Apostles hold and regard the Scripture (Old Testament) as authoritative and supreme Word of God following in the steps of Jesus. I don’t like the self-claimed theologians who quote the Apocrypha as if they are parts of the Scriptures. Characteristically, the Apostles would say, “What does the Scripture say?” “For the Scripture says,” “Do you not know what the Scripture says?” “The Scripture has,” “The Scripture was fulfilled which says,” “the passage of Scripture.”

The Word of God is also known as oracle, Mal 1:1, “The oracle of the Word of the LORD to Israel through Malachi.” In the era of the New Testament, the whole Old Testament is called the Scripture. 2Ti 3:15, “ and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.” The Old Testament is also known as the sacred writings.

2Ti 3:16-17, “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.”

Note: Scripture in Greek is graphē which means a writing; a document; the Scripture (the book or contents); portion or section of the Holy Scripture; Holy Writ; the books of the Bible; - which occurs 51 times in the New Testament. Inspired by God in Greek is theopneustos which means given by inspiration of God; divinely breathed in; sacred revelation under divine influence; - which occurs 2 times in the New Testament.

2Pe 1:19-21, “So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the Morning Star arises in your hearts. But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.”

Note: The Scripture is known as the prophetic word because it deals with things to come. Prophecy of Scripture is a matter not an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God. Jesus Christ is the Morning Star dawns in your hearts. I believe the Scripture by the time of Paul and Peter, parts of the New Testament have been completed. For this reason, Apostle Peter writes, 2Pe 3:15-18, “and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you, as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall from your own steadfastness, but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.” While Peter and Paul were still alive, all letters of Paul and Peter and John were regarded as parts of the New Testament Scripture, and also the rest of the Scriptures, such as the Gospel of John, etc.

In summary, the Scripture also appears in different forms such as decrees, commandments, requirements, counsel, counsel of His will, etc. But the Word of God never appeared or accepted as myth, mythology, legend, fairy tale, magic, tradition, ideology, superstition, idolatry, spirits, polytheism, spells, charms, amulets, curses, bad luck, ghosts, fortune telling, fetishism, animism, totemism, reincarnation, rituals, voodooism, coded message, meditation, metaphysics, etc.

Act 16:4, “Now while they were passing through the cities, they were delivering the decrees which had been decided upon by the Apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem, for them to observe.”

Jhn 15:10, “If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.”

1Jo 3:22, “and whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight.”

Psa 33:11, “The counsel of the LORD stands forever,
The plans of His heart from generation to generation.”

Eph 1:11, “also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will.”

Note: Paul and Timothy were passing through the cities, they were delivering the decrees which had been decided upon by the Apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem, for them to observe. Decree in Greek is dogma which means doctrine; ordinance; dogma of Apostles relative to right living; judgment; opinion; - which occurs 5 times in the New Testament. The dogmas or doctrines decided by the Apostles and elders of the Jerusalem Church were also considered as the Word of God. I believe the revelation of the New Testament was completed in the first century before all the Apostles and elders in Jerusalem passed away.

The biggest misconception of Christianity is the belief Christianity is only a religion. Christianity is not a religion in the sense of all other religions. Christianity is the Revelation of Jesus Christ and personal Relationship with Jesus Christ. Morality teaching cannot and does not make anyone a Christian.

It is wrong to say that religion and morality were brought by the Hebrew prophets into the closest and most solemn alliance. For the Bible says:

Rom 4:6-13, “just as David also speaks of the blessing on the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works: “BLESSED ARE THOSE WHOSE LAWLESS DEEDS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN,
AND WHOSE SINS HAVE BEEN COVERED. BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE SIN THE LORD WILL NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT.” Is this blessing then on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say, “FAITH WAS CREDITED TO ABRAHAM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.” How then was it credited? While he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised, but while uncircumcised; and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while uncircumcised, so that he might be the father of all who believe without being circumcised, that righteousness might be credited to them, and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also follow in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham which he had while uncircumcised. For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would be heir of the world was not through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith.”

Heb 11:6, “And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.”

Note: Without faith it is impossible to please God, for he who comes to God must believe He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. Those who seek to please God with their work (morality) are children of Cain. Those who seek to please God by faith and obedience are children of Abraham. Heb 11:8, “By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going.” Faith believes God is and faith obeys God.

Rom 4:3-5, “For what does the Scripture say? “ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.” Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due. But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness.”

Note: Believe in Greek is pisteuō which means to commit one’s trust to; to put in trust with; to trust in; to commit to; to think to be true; to place confidence in; to have faith in; to have confidence in; to entrust; to be persuaded of; to have conviction; to give oneself up to; to put confidence in; - which occurs 244 times in the New Testament. Credit in Greek is logizomai which means to think; to impute; to reckon; to count; to consider; to regard; to account; to suppose; to reason; to number; to calculate; to count over; to take into account; to be equivalent to; to count up; to infer; to deem; to judge; to conclude; to esteem; to determine; - which account 44 times in the New Testament.

1Pe 1:8-19, “and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.”

Note: The difference between before and after is the difference between Heaven and earth. Before you are saved and received the forgiveness of sins, whatever good works you have done cannot save you, or justify you before God. If you give all your possessions to feed the poor, and if you surrender your body to be burned, it profits nothing to save your soul from sins. No matter how good you are, you are not good enough to enter the Kingdom of God. No one can save himself or obtain salvation by the virtue of his good deeds. Why? The Scripture says:

Isa 64:5-6, “You meet him who rejoices in doing righteousness,
Who remembers You in Your ways.
Behold, You were angry, for we sinned,
We continued in them a long time;
And shall we be saved? For all of us have become like one who is unclean,
And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment;
And all of us wither like a leaf,
And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.”

Note: God is angry with sinners. In the sight of God, we sinned, all of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like filthy garment; our iniquities, like the wind, take us away. Unclean in Hebrew is tame' which means defiled; infamous; polluted; impure; foul; - which occurs 91 times in the Old Testament. This will tickle secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers who think they are famous, but in the sight of God, they are unclean and infamous. What you prize as your righteous deeds (morality) in the sight of God are like filthy garment. Filthy in Hebrew is `iddah which means soiled like menstruation; filthy rag; stained garment; dirty; unclean; vile; obscene; foul; impure; - which occurs 1 time in the Old Testament. God is Holy, and we are sinful and filthy. Why there are fools who think they can justify themselves by their own good deeds? No one is good, except God. No one is good enough to go to Heaven, everyone is bad enough to go to Hell.

The right question is: how shall we be saved? What must I do to be saved? The way of salvation is the way of God. The way of salvation is not the way of man. All other religions offer the salvation of man. All other religions teach you can save yourself by good deeds or merits. The way all religions figure out is if your good deeds outweigh your evil deeds, you will go to Heaven. That is not what the Lord of Heaven says. The Scripture says,

Jas 2:10-11, “ For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all. For He who said, “DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY,” also said, “DO NOT COMMIT MURDER.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.”

Note: The whole law means the complete law, all the law. Stumble in Greek is ptaiō which means to offend; to fall; to err; to make a mistake; to sin; to fail; to trip; to blunder; to slip; - which occurs 5 times in the New Testament. Guilty in Greek is enochos which means in danger of; subject to; liable; worthy of punishment; held in; to be indicted; chargeable; culpable; - which occurs 10 times in the New Testament. Transgressor in Greek is parabatēs which means breaker; violator; lawbreaker; - which occurs 5 times in the New Testament. The standard of God’s justice is not like the standard of justice of man. Take the Ten Commandments, if you violate just this one, “You shall not covet.” If you violate this commandment, you become guilty of all. Covet in Hebrew is chamad which means to lust; to desire wrongfully; to take pleasure sinfully; - which occurs 23 times in the Old Testament. The sin of greed probably is the greatest sin commonly committed by all the people in the world. Under God’s judgment, who dares to justify himself before God?

Study again The Ten Commandments, The Decalogue, part of the Law of God. Everyone must tremble, for we all have sinned, and we become guilty of all. We must all bow to the Most High Holy God with fear and trembling AND beg for mercy. I believe all men have consciousness of sins. Even the traitor Judas had consciousness of sins, that was why he hanged himself. I believe the leaders of Western powers have consciousness of sins for lying, killing, and robbing many nations, but their conscience is deadened or seared with a hot iron for the love of power, money and sex. I believe the doctors and hospital owners who routinely and habitually overcharge and defraud patients have consciousness of sins, but their conscience is cauterized with a hot iron of greed. I believe Wall Street executives have consciousness of sins when they created the 2008 financial crisis and robbed the world more than $50 trillions, but their conscience is seared with a hot iron of greed. I believe Japanese leaders and people have consciousness of their sins in killing 35 million Chinese, making Chinese and Korean women sex slaves, slave labors and many atrocities; but their conscience is deadened or seared with a hot iron because they do not want to pay large sum of compensations and war reparations. I believe Islamic terrorists have consciousness of their sins for killing thousands of people and making millions of people refugees, but their conscience is seared with a hot iron because they believe in a lie that after death they will have sex with many virgins in the paradise. By means of the hypocrisy, all liars their conscience is seared with a hot iron, this happens also to Western media that spread lies, make fake news and fake reports and falsehood.

No religion can save you. No man can save you. The right question is What must I do to be saved?

Luk 16:15, “And He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts; for that which is highly esteemed among men is detestable in the sight of God.”

Note: Who is highly esteemed among men? If I name name, it will offend many. But Jesus says, that which is highly esteemed among men is detestable in the sight of God. To be esteemed in Greek is hypsēlos which means lofty; exalted on high; eminent; aspiring and ambitious; - which occurs 12 times in the New Testament. Western powers have dominated and dictated the world for the last 500 years. Even today you can watch and hear some Western leaders who are self exalted on high and speak arrogantly as if they still dictate and dominate the world. The wicked will fall into their own nets, fall into calamity, and fall into the hands of the living God. Detestable in Greek is bdelygma which means abominable; a foul thing; contemptible; ignoble; despicable; dishonorable; - which occurs 6 times in the New Testament. That which is highly esteemed among men is detestable and despicable in the sight of God. Western media are so abominable that they distort and misrepresent the facts, they lie, lie and lie; spread lies and make fake news and false reports without shame every day.

Any doctrine of the Bible must correspond to the dogmas of Jesus Christ and the Apostles, it does not need to pass into the keeping with Ambrose and Augustine, or anybody else. The teachings of the Apostles must always conform to the teachings of Christ. For Jesus Christ has the absolute, highest, supreme, and ultimate authority over and above anyone in Heavens and on earth. Besides Apostle Paul, Martin Luther has the clearest explanation on the doctrine of justification by faith. The major difference between Fundamentalists and Modernists is this: Fundamentalists believe the whole Bible as inspired by God, absolute and infallible; Modernists deny the divinity of Jesus Christ and distort the dogmas of the Bible.

It is interesting that even primitive religions believe in the idea of a future state of rewards and punishments. Most people vaguely believe that the wicked will be punished, if not in this life, in the life to come. Sin is an act against God. Jas 4:4, “You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.” You do not need to commit a horrible sin to make yourself an enemy of God. Hostility in Greek is echthra which means enmity; hatred; a reason for opposition; mutual ill will; hostile action; animosity; - which occurs 6 times in the New Testament. Your friendship with the world is counted as hostility toward God. Between the world and God there is no neutrality. Why?

Enemy in Greek is echthros which means foe; a hostile person; an adversary; - which occurs 32 times in the New Testament.

Jhn 12:31, “Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.”

Eph 2:2, “in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.”

1Jo 5:19, “ We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.”

Note: Now the ruler of this world is the Devil, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. Some Western powers and leaders may imagine themselves to be powerful and exalted, not knowing they are under the influence of the evil one. The devil is the prince of the power of the air, and the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Who are the sons of disobedience or children of the devil. Turn on your TV, if you have eyes you can recognize them.

All false religions desire offerings and sacrifices to appease and please their gods. The God of the Bible is different. The Scripture says, 1Sa 15:22, “Samuel said,
“Has the LORD as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices
As in obeying the voice of the LORD?
Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,
And to heed than the fat of rams.”

Psa 4:4-5, “Tremble, and do not sin;
Meditate in your heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,
And trust in the LORD.”

Note: God is not pleased with sinful people who make offerings and sacrifices. Obeying the voice of the Lord is better than offerings and sacrifices. To heed the Word of God is better than the fat of rams. God wants people to offer the sacrifices of righteousness and trust in the Lord.

Psa 51:17, “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.”

Note: The sacrifices that God is pleased is the sacrifices of a broken spirit and a broken and a contrite heart. God will not despise a sinner who a broken spirit and a broken and a contrite heart. A broken spirit is a humble spirit. Contrite in Hebrew is dakah which means broken to pieces; crushed; showing sorrow and remorse for sin; penitent; - which occurs 5 times in the Old Testament.

Jesus tells a parable to illustrate the meaning of a broken spirit and a contrite heart:

Luk 18:9-14, “And He also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and viewed others with contempt: “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and was praying this to himself: ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.’ But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, the sinner!’ I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Note: There are two types of people who come to God: the Pharisee and the tax collector. It is amazing that the Pharisee was praying to himself. Many make a mistake as to what constitutes a prayer. The most disgusting type of man are those who pray to themselves. They use prayer to promote themselves and condemning others. We pray to God, we do not pray to man. Some pray to God by reporting as if God does not know what is happening in the world. Some preachers pray to God by preaching as if God enjoys their sermon. Preachers should not use prayer to preach to God and man. Some pray to show how devout they are by praying long prayer. Preachers should not make long prayer at the church. Preachers can pray all night long by themselves in their own homes. Public prayer should be short because sick and old people cannot stand on their feet for a long time. A sinner must confess his sins and beg for mercy so that God may justify him in the name of Jesus Christ. Secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers will never come to God, because they are self-righteous and do not think they are sinners.

The thing that separates a man from God is his sins. Sinners cannot approach the Holy and Righteous God. The correct question is: How can a sinner be saved and justified before God? If you have the attitude of a hypocrite: I am not like other people. You cannot come to God.

Jhn 6:37, “All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out.”

1Ti 2:4, “Who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

1Ti 2:5, “For there is one God, and one Mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”

Note: There is one God is not science or philosophy can discover.

We have such confidence we have only through Christ toward God. Jhn 1:17, “For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” Through Jesus Christ, we the human race may receive grace and truth that peoples in time past did not know. 2Co 5:18-19, “Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.” This is the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ, God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting our sins and trespasses against us. Rom 3:22, “even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction.” There is no more distinction between the Jews and the Gentiles. The righteousness of God by grace through faith in Jesus Christ is granted freely for all those who believe. Rom 3:24, “being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus.” Through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus, all believers are justified as a gift of God’s grace. Salvation is the gift of God. Rom 5:1, “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Heb 9:14, “how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” Heb 10:10, “By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” God is the Holy God who shows Himself in righteousness, by His will believers have been sanctified. 2Co 8:9, “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.” 1Pe 2:5, “you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” Christians, the saved sinners who become children of God, are now acceptable to God. All the Scriptures cited above explain what it means that Jesus Christ is the Way to God. Jesus Christ, the way to God, saved me from sins. That is why I am a Christian. Rom 16:27, “to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory forever. Amen.”

Jhn 8:44-45, “You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.“But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me.”

Note: To know the truth, you need to believe in Christ.

Jhn 3:21,“But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.”

Note: He who practices the truth comes to the Light (Jesus Christ).

Jhn 18:37, “Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.”

Note: Everyone who is of the truth hears the voice of Jesus.

Rom 2:8, “but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation.”

Note: Those who obey the truth are not selfishly ambitious.

2Ti 2:25, “with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth.”

Note: You have to repent or your sins, God may grant you repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth.

2Th 2:10, “and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.”

Note: You must receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.

1Ti 4:3, “men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth.”

Note: In human knowledge, you know and believe. In divine knowledge, you believe and know the truth.

2Th 2:12, “in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.”

Note: People who took pleasure in wickedness did not believe the truth.

Jas 3:14, “But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth.”

Note: Arrogant people lie against the truth.

Jhn 8:47, “He who is of God hears the Words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God.”

Note: You do not hear the Words of God because you are not of God.

1Jo 2:21, “I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie is of the truth.”

Jhn 8:31-32,“So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

Note: No lie is of the truth. You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.

In brief, the Truth of God can be found only in Jesus Christ who is the Way. No one comes to the Father but through Jesus Christ. In brief, it is impossible to find God and the Truth of God through science and philosophy. By human means it is impossible to know God. Reason alone is not sufficient to discover God. God can be known only through Revelation, the revelation of Jesus Christ. God can be known through the revelation of Jesus Christ, the Living Word of God, and through the Holy Scriptures, the Written Word of God. Through the creation we may know something about the existence of the Creator. Rom 1:20, “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.” However, through the nature we can never discover the way of salvation.

No one can discover the objective truth embodied in the universe about the salvation of God. The salvation of God is the way of God, not the way of man. The way of salvation is not embodied in the universe, the salvation of God is embodied in the person of Jesus Christ. The way of salvation is known as the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Eph 3:3-12, “that by revelation there was made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief. By referring to this, when you read you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit; to be specific, that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the Gospel, of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of God’s grace which was given to me according to the working of His power. To me, the very least of all saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ, and to bring to light what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God who created all things; so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places. This was in accordance with the eternal purpose which He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and confident access through faith in Him.” Since the Incarnation, we believers, the Jewish and the Gentile, have boldness and confident access to God through faith in Jesus Christ. This is the Gospel that all who believe in Jesus Christ may be saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

2Ti 1:8-12, “Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord or of me His prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the Gospel according to the power of God, who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity, but now has been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel, for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle and a teacher. For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day.”

Note: The Gospel of God was revealed to Paul and he was appointed a preacher and an apostle and a teacher. Paul preached the Gospel and was suffering for the Gospel. Paul was not ashamed of the testimony of our Lord or of him being the prisoner of Christ; for our Savior Christ Jesus abolished death (by resurrection) and brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel. Paul knew whom he had believed and was convinced that Jesus Christ is able to guard what he had entrusted to Him until that day. Christianity has a specific day to be fulfilled - the day of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

Max Planck was a decent scientist who made the following confession, “
Whence come I and whither go I? That is the great unfathomable question, the same for every one of us. Science has no answer to it.”

As to the ultimate mystery of nature, Max Planck said, “Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are a part of the mystery that we are trying to solve.”

Science or scientific epistemology cannot and does not give life, it is as dead as agnosticism and atheism. Science does not know what life is. Logic does not give life.

Deu 10:12,“Now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require from you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways and love Him, and to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.”

Note: Israel has a long long history with God. What does the Lord God require of the Jews is not the same with the Gentiles.

Mic 6:8, “He has told you, O man, what is good;
And what does the LORD require of you
But to do justice, to love kindness,
And to walk humbly with your God?”

Note: The Scripture cited above is what God generally requires of the Jews. But the Jews fail to fulfill the requirements of the Law. The Jews cannot obtain the righteousness of God through the keeping of the Law. Law came by Moses, not enough to save the Jews. There is only condemnation in the Law, there is no salvation in the Law. So grace and truth came from Jesus Christ who provides the Gospel to both the Jews and the Gentiles.

Jhn 3:5-8, “Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

Note: The word “water” mentioned in the Scripture means the Word of God. Jesus says, we must be born of the Word of God and the Spirit. Repentance is not enough. Reform is not enough. Man must be regenerated by the Word of God and the Holy Spirit. Man needs to have a new life, a life partaking the nature of God. How can one be born again? (1). Confess your sins and that you cannot save yourself, and no one can save you. (2). Believe God who loves you although you are unworthy. God sent Jesus Christ the Son of God into the world to save sinners. Jesus Christ can save you and me. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, and He rose again from the dead for our justification. (3). Accept now Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior with all your heart and soul. We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. (4). Ask the Lord to send His Spirit into you to give you life and lead you to follow Jesus.

Act 4:12, “And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under Heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”

Note: There is salvation in no one else, except in the name of Jesus Christ. There is no salvation in science, philosophy, or religion. Jesus Christ is the only Way to God. To receive Jesus Christ is to receive eternal life. Jhn 6:28-29, “Therefore they said to Him, “What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent.” To do the work of God is to believe in Jesus Christ whom God has sent into the world to save sinners. Man cannot be justified by his work to obtain forgiveness of sins and righteousness of God. In the sight of God our good deeds and merits are nothing but like filthy rags. It is through the redemption of Christ by His blood that sinners find favor before God, and God counts all those who believe in Jesus as righteousness, not guilty. Through the way of Jesus, sinners are reconciled to God, and have the right to become children of God. This is not the Protestant Gospel, this is the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Psa 107:22, “ Let them also offer sacrifices of thanksgiving,
And tell of His works with joyful singing.”

What must I do to be saved? This is the most important question in the whole wide world. The question is not what must we do so that the world will be saved. The present world cannot be saved, the world will move in the course of time to its final end. 2Pe 1:4, “For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.” Corruption in Greek is phthora which means destruction; perishing; moral decay; ruin; eternal misery; depravity; - which occurs 9 times in the New Testament. Lust in Greek is epithymia which means concupiscence; evil desire; desire for what is forbidden; longing; unholy craving; lasciviousness; - which occurs 38 times in the New Testament. If there is one word that can describe the world, it is corruption. The whole world is corrupt: the system of the world is corrupt, the governments in the world are corrupt, the business and industry are corrupt, the finance and banking system is corrupt, the justice system is corrupt, the human institutions are corrupt, the way of life is corrupt. The world is corrupted by lust; the lust for power, money, and sex. Eph 6:12, “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” The Christian struggle is against the rulers, against the powers, and against the world forces of this darkness. The world today is dominated by the world forces of darkness. The Western powers and leaders represent the world forces of darkness. They continue to lie, lie, and lie; kill, kill, and kill; rob, rob, and rob in the name of democracy, freedom, human rights, civil rights, equality, justice and all phony reasons. 1Co 7:31, “and those who use the world, as though they did not make full use of it; for the form of this world is passing away.” The time is short, and the form of this world is passing away. Those who have the world as though they did not have it. Eph 2:12, “remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.” The world cannot be saved, having no hope and without God in the world. Jas 4:4, “You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.” Friendship with the world is hostility toward God. Whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. 1Jo 2:15, “Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” Christians do not love the world nor the things in the world. If you love the world, the love of the Father is not in you. 2Pe 3:7, “ But by His Word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.” The present world is reserved for fire and destruction of ungodly men. 2Pe 3:10, “But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.” What intense heat that burns up all the elements? Probably nuclear fire. I have learned this truth: If you fear God, you have nothing to fear.

Psa 23:4, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.”

Psa 27:3, “Though a host encamp against me,
My heart will not fear;
Though war arise against me,
In spite of this I shall be confident.”

Psa 33:18, “Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope for His lovingkindness.”

Psa 46:2, “Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change
And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea.”

Psa 49:5, “Why should I fear in days of adversity,
When the iniquity of my foes surrounds me.”

Psa 112:7, “He will not fear evil tidings;
His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.”

Psa 118:6, “The LORD is for me; I will not fear;
What can man do to me?”

Pro 3:25, “Do not be afraid of sudden fear
Nor of the onslaught of the wicked when it comes.”

2Th 2:16, “Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace.”

Note: I am attracted to the love of God, eternal comfort and good hope by grace which no one can find in any other religion.

Heb 6:18-19, “so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us. This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil.”

Note: I can find no refuge in any other. Science does not offer me hope. Philosopher does not give me eternal comfort and good hope. There is no salvation in the world or in any other religion. I take hold of the hope and become a Christian.

Rom 8:22, “For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.”

Note: The whole creation groans and suffers the pains, I do not envy even the rich and powerful, so I seek a better country which is Heavenly.

1Jo 5:19, “We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.”

Note: I abhor the work of the devil and the evil exists in this world, I find God is my only refuge. I experience the wonder and blessing of being a child of God throughout all my life, sun or rain. There are two things that upset and disturb me most, namely, stupidity and wickedness. If anyone wants to be stupid or wicked, that is his business. But that is the case, the stupidity and wickedness of man have consequences. They have evil impact on others.

Let us first take stupidity. The greatest fool is the one who says there is no God. Psa 53:1, “For the choir director; according to Mahalath. A Maskil of David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God,”
They are corrupt, and have committed abominable injustice;
There is no one who does good.”

Note: Fool in Hebrew is nabal which means vile person; foolish man or woman; senseless person; stupid person; - which occurs 20 times in the Old Testament. There is no fool greater than the fool who fools himself. Corrupt in Hebrew is shachath which means to destroy; to go to ruin; to decay; to spoil; to ruin; to pervert; to perish; to act wickedly; - which occurs 164 times in the Old Testament. Abominable in Hebrew is ta`ab which means detestable; shameful; horrible; abhorred; - which occurs 27 times in the Old Testament. Injustice in Hebrew is `evel which means iniquity; wickedness; perverseness; unrighteousness; wrong; depravity; - which occurs 56 times in the Old Testament. The Word of God is going to irritate secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers who do not believe in God. The Word of God says, the fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and have committed abominable injustice. There is no one who does good. Pro 19:3, “The foolishness of man ruins his way,
And his heart rages against the LORD.” I don’t mind the foolishness of man ruins his way. I do mind when the foolishness of man ruins other people. I am infuriated when the foolishness of a man ruins my way. I want all fools to stay away from me. The more outrageous thing is the fact that the heart of a fool rages against the Lord. Rage in Hebrew is za`aph which means to fret; to infuriate; to be angry against; to like worse; to be enraged; to be vexed; to boil up; - which occurs 6 times in the Old Testament. There are men who are nothing but worms, their hearts rage against the Lord. They are like lead sinking in the mighty waters. They are like dogs fighting against the giant tsunamis! They are like chaff which the storm carries away. Why do secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers rage against the Lord, the Creator of the universe? They think they are important and they may think their knowledge can save them. They are self-willed, self-conceited, and lovers of self. I never thought before that foolishness is somehow related to evil also.

1Co 1:24-29, “but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are, so that no man may boast before God.”

Note: It is interesting and stimulating to learn that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble who become Christians and followers of Jesus Christ. Jesus did not call one philosopher or scholar to be His twelve Apostles. It is equally comforting and refreshing to know some wise men according to the flesh also have believed in God the Creator of the universe and Jesus Christ the Lord and Savior. Some of the names can be mentioned include Isaac Newton, Blaise Pascal, Frances Bacon, Samuel F. B. Morse, Louis Pasteur, William Thompson, Lord Kelvin, Wernher von Braun, Johann Kepler, and some others. I particularly like Blaise Pascal because of Pascal’s wager. Pascal uses prudence as a reason to believe in God. Judging all evidence, it is most probably that God exists and it is the best bet. Why should anyone risk the possibility of eternal punishment in Hell in believing otherwise. However, I do not concur with Kepler that the world was created about 7,000 years ago. The Bible does not say that. However, this does not mean that the Christian faith needs to be validated by scientists and philosophers. The more I study the works of unbelieving scholars and philosophers, the more I get angry with them because of their false philosophy and empty deception, based on the tradition of men and elementary principles of the world. It is a waste of time and efforts to study the private opinions of sinful men. You know science is nothing but the best incomplete and tentative human knowledge at a time and place.

Science cannot study the invisible, the supernatural, the spiritual and the eternal. Science only study the finite, and not the infinite. Science can never reach the Ultimate Reality. The smartest scientist and philosopher does not know even a simple thing like when they are going to die. Even if all scientists and philosophers reject the Christian faith, I would still be willing to accept the things of the Spirit of God, the truth of Christ as revealed in the Word of God.

Christianity is not Anglicanism, not Roman Catholicism, not Unitarianism, not Arminianism, not even Protestantism. Do not get me wrong. Protestantism was only an attempt to return to the original Biblical Christianity. Protestantism itself is not Christianity, it is a movement back to Christianity. As for Unitarianism, it is not even a denomination of Protestantism. Unitarianism is a false religion which rejects the divinity of Christ.

Secular academics talk about reason as if they own it, or in a way as if reason is god. They reason God could not made the universe in six days. It sound rational but actually stupid. The simple reason is the unbelievers do not have the knowledge of God. Jesus answers them, Mar 12:24, “Jesus said to them, “Is this not the reason you are mistaken, that you do not understand the Scriptures or the power of God?” Reason in Greek is dia which means by this cause; for this cause; because; by the means of; on ground of this; on account of; by reason of; by the merit; by means of; - which occurs 512 times in the New Testament. The Jews were mistaken about many things for the reason they did not understand the Scriptures or the power of God. For the same reason secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers who do not believe in God and the supernatural because they do not understand the Scriptures of the power of God. If you say the president of America created the heavens and earth in six days, that is certainly impossible. There is nothing impossible with God. If the Bible tells me God created the universe in six hours, I would still believe it. Because it is the power of God, the unlimited power of God. The God that I know and believe is the Almighty God, the Self-existent Eternal God. The Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omniscient does not have any problem or limitation. If you know God who He is, it is not unreasonable to believe in miracles, the supernatural, the spiritual, the invisible, and the eternal. I find the Word of God most reasonable, faithful and acceptable. I have found many works of secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers unreasonable, irrational and unacceptable. Rom 1:25-26, “For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural.” So they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and for this reason gave them over to degrading passions. Sinful man rejects God.

Isa 1:18, “Come now, and let us reason together,”
Says the LORD,
“Though your sins are as scarlet,
They will be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They will be like wool.”

Note: God wants to reason together with secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers, and all unbelievers. Reason in Hebrew is yakach which means to argue; to prove; to decide; to judge; to show to be right; to convince; to convict; to plead; to argue down; to correct; - which occurs 64 times in the Old Testament. God is willing to reason with you and wash your sins away. If you harden your heart and do not listen, that tells something about you. Jhn 8:47,“He who is of God hears the Words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God.” If you do not hear the Words of God because you are not of God.

1Co 13:11, “When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.” Reason in Greek is logizomai which means to think; to count; to reckon; to impute; to suppose; to compute; to calculate; to take into account; to count over; to deliberate; to meditate on; to determine; to deem; to weigh; to decide; to estimate; to conclude; to judge; - which occurs 44 times in the New Testament. In spiritual way, secularists and unbelieving theologians reason like a child. It is about time they do away with childish and irrational things like big bang, evolution, etc.

Eph 5:14, “For this reason it says,
“Awake, sleeper,
And arise from the dead,
And Christ will shine on you.”

Note: Any man, of low or high intelligence, who is alienated and hostile to God is spiritually dead. Awake from your spiritual slumber, sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you. However, if anyone insists on unbelief and reject Christ, the end is destruction. 2 Th 2:9-12, “that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.” Secularists and unbelieving scholars may boast of their mind to reject Christ, they do not realize they are under a deluding influence of the activity of Satan with all the deception of wickedness so that they do not receive the love of the truth, and believe what is false and take pleasure in wickedness.

Act 26:23, “that the Christ was to suffer, and that by reason of His resurrection from the dead He would be the first to proclaim light both to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles.” Christ who died for sinners and rose from the dead proclaims light to both the Jewish people and to the Gentiles. Rom 15:17, “Therefore in Christ Jesus I have found reason for boasting in things pertaining to God.” Children of God have reason for boasting in things pertaining to God which unbelieving scholars and scientists know nothing about. 1Th 2:13, “For this reason we also constantly thank God that when you received the Word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the Word of God, which also performs its work in you who believe.” There are only two groups of people in the world, not rich and poor, but those who accept the Word of God, and those who do not. Those who believe in Jesus Christ and accept the Word of God become children of God. 1Jo 3:1, “See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.” The world does not know Christians because they do not know God.

The truthfulness of the Christian faith does not depend on natural theology, Roman Catholic theology, Calvinistic theology, liberal theology, Arminianism, etc. For the sake of simplicity, let us temporarily subscribe to the idea there are basically only three types of theology. Augustinianism holds that salvation rests on God’s grace alone. Semi-Pelagianism teaches that salvation rests on human cooperation with God’s grace. Pelagianism believes that salvation can be achieved without God’s grace. On the surface it, suffice it to say, a little knowledge of the Bible will enable a Christian to condemn and declare Pelagianism anti-Christian and anti-Biblical heresy and therefore could not be a Christian theology. Augustinianism is Biblical theology. Semi-Pelagianism is acceptable to the point of clarification of terms, as a contrast between the Book of Romans and the Epistle of James. The Christian faith does not depend on debates, differences of opinion about Biblical interpretation and theology among Christians. It is not the Christian faith that has to suit the opinions of believers, it is the opinions of believers have to suit the Christian faith. You believe what the Word of God says, what the Word of God says does not depend on you whether you believe or not. The Christian faith does not begin with Augustine or anybody.

However, I do believe I am saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Eph 2:8-9, “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.”

Note: Grace in Greek is charis which means favor; loving kindness; merciful kindness of God; divine influence upon the heart; good will; gift; benefaction; unmerited divine assistance; - which occurs 159 times in the New Testament. The salvation I receive is not of myself, it is the gift of God. Gift in Greek is dōron which means offering; present without cost; - which occurs 19 times in the New Testament. Boast in Greek is kauchaomai which means to glory; to rejoice; to make boast; to brag; - which occurs 39 times in the New Testament.

Mar 1:15, “and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the Gospel.” Mar 16:16, “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.” Isa 55:7, “

Let the wicked forsake his way
And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
And let him return to the LORD,
And He will have compassion on him,
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.” Yes, I forsook my way and returned to the Lord.”

Act 26:18, “to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me.” Eze 14:6, “Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “Repent and turn away from your idols and turn your faces away from all your abominations.” 1Th 1:9, “For they themselves report about us what kind of a reception we had with you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God.” Yes, I repented and believe in the Gospel. I was baptized. I forsook my way. I turned from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God. From childhood I abhor idols. All this I have done does not make me to deserve the grace of God. I am saved by grace, not a result of my works, and I have nothing to boast. Rom 11:6, “But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace.”1Co 15:10, “But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me.” By the grace of God I am what I am. There are no actual powers in human nature to save himself. Sinful man is so miserable, what a man ought, he cannot. Sinful man cannot save himself.

Rom 7:14-25, “For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am of flesh, sold into bondage to sin. For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate. But if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with the Law, confessing that the Law is good. So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good. For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man, but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin.”

The answer is: Sinful man is a wretched man. Not only sinful man cannot save himself; a sinful man needs Jesus Christ to save him. Thanks be to God, Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. One day I will be set free from the body of this death. The Lord will provide me with a spiritual, glorious and immortal body to be with the Lord in the Kingdom of Heaven for eternity.

In this present world, holiness could not be arrived at by rigor of disciplines. No amount of freedom of the will can make a man perfect.

Col 2:23, “These are matters which have, to be sure, the appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and self-abasement and severe treatment of the body, but are of no value against fleshly indulgence.”

What is hope? Hope can be defined as trusting in, waiting for, looking for, or desiring someone or something in order to expect someone or something beneficial in the future. No one hopes for what he has seen already. Hope is not about yesterday, yesterday was gone. Hope is not about today, it has not arrived yet.

Someone said, “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of God, which is why we call it the present.”

For the children of God, tomorrow is not a mystery. The God of Christianity is Heb 13:8, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Jesus Christ remains the same eternal. Jesus Christ is not affected by time or space. Job 8:9, “For we are only of yesterday and know nothing, because our days on earth are as a shadow.”Yesterday I was young, today I am old. Our days on earth are as a shadow. Psa 90:4, “For a thousand years in Your sight are like yesterday when it passes by, or as a watch in the night.” 2Pe 3:8, “But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.” With the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. So it is foolish to compare man with God.

Exo 14:13, “But Moses said to the people, “Do not fear! Stand by and see the salvation of the LORD which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you will never see them again forever.”

Deu 4:39, “Know therefore today, and take it to your heart, that the LORD, He is God in heaven above and on the earth below; there is no other.”

Deu 11:26-28, “See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse: the blessing, if you listen to the commandments of the LORD your God, which I am commanding you today; and the curse, if you do not listen to the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside from the way which I am commanding you today, by following other gods which you have not known.”

Deu 30:15-16, “See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, and death and adversity; in that I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, that you may live and multiply, and that the LORD your God may bless you in the land where you are entering to possess it."

Deu 30:18-19, “I declare to you today that you shall surely perish. You will not prolong your days in the land where you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess it.“ I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants.”

Jos 24:15,“If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”

Luk 19:9, “And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he, too, is a son of Abraham.”

Note: Salvation is not tomorrow. Today is the day of salvation, now is the accepted time. You can be saved today.

Luk 23:43, “And He said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.”

Heb 3:13, “But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.”

Note: The deceitfulness of sins may seduce you to be saved tomorrow. You chance to be saved is today.

Isa 22:13, “Instead, there is gaiety and gladness,
Killing of cattle and slaughtering of sheep,
Eating of meat and drinking of wine:
“Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we may die.”

1Co 15:32, “If from human motives I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, LET US EAT AND DRINK, FOR TOMORROW WE DIE.”

Pro 4:17, “For they eat the bread of wickedness
And drink the wine of violence.”

2Co 6:2, “for He says,
“AT THE ACCEPTABLE TIME I LISTENED TO YOU,
AND ON THE DAY OF SALVATION I HELPED YOU.”
Behold, now is “THE ACCEPTABLE TIME,” behold, now is “THE DAY OF SALVATION”—

Note: Do not be fooled. Today is the day of salvation. Now is the acceptable time.

1Th 5:8, “But since we are of the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation.”

Exo 8:9-10, “Moses said to Pharaoh, “The honor is yours to tell me: when shall I entreat for you and your servants and your people, that the frogs be destroyed from you and your houses, that they may be left only in the Nile?” Then he said, “Tomorrow.” So he said, “May it be according to your word, that you may know that there is no one like the LORD our God.”

1Sa 19:11, “Then Saul sent messengers to David's house to watch him, in order to put him to death in the morning. But Michal, David's wife, told him, saying, “If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be put to death.”

Note: Save your life today. Tomorrow may be too late.

Pro 27:1, “Do not boast about tomorrow,
For you do not know what a day may bring forth.”

Isa 22:13, “Instead, there is gaiety and gladness,
Killing of cattle and slaughtering of sheep,
Eating of meat and drinking of wine:
“Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we may die.”

Note: There are people who live for today, eat and drink. For tomorrow they may die. All the more important to be saved today. No one knows what your life will be tomorrow.

Helen Keller who was a great woman, her life was a great achievement, she said, “Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.”

George Washington Carver was probably the greatest black man, he said, “Where there is no vision, there is no hope.”

There was a white supremacist, a worldly man, with good reputation who said, “All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.” He had none of them. I tell you, you can find salvation, blessing, peace, freedom, justice, honor, virtue, mercy, hope, faith, love, truth, grace, eternal life and many more in Jesus Christ.

Another great woman, Marie Curie said, “You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end, each of us must work for his own improvement and, at the same time, share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful.”

Someone said, “The great moral powers of the soul are faith, hope, and love.” This is a retooling of the Scripture; 1Co 13:13, “But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love. The Bible tells us by human nature our soul does not have moral powers. Our soul needs to be rescued. Psa 6:4, “Return, O LORD, rescue my soul; save me because of Your lovingkindness.” Our soul needs to be restored. Psa 19:7, “The law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.” Psa 23:3, “He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.” Our soul needs to be guarded. Psa 25:20, “Guard my soul and deliver me; do not let me be ashamed, for I take refuge in You.” Our soul needs to be healed. Psa 41:4, “As for me, I said, “O LORD, be gracious to me; Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.” Our soul deeds to be redeemed. Psa 49:15, “But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, for He will receive me. Selah.” Our soul needs to be preserved, Psa 86:2, “Preserve my soul, for I am a godly man; O You my God, save Your servant who trusts in You.” Our soul needs to be delivered from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue. Psa 120:2, “Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.” Our soul needs to be brought out of trouble. Psa 143:11, “For the sake of Your name, O LORD, revive me.
In Your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.” Our soul needs to be kept from the pit of nothingness. Isa 38:17, “Lo, for my own welfare I had great bitterness; It is You who has kept my soul from the pit of nothingness, for You have cast all my sins behind Your back.” Mat 16:26, “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” We must not forfeit our soul. Rom 2:9, “There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek.” For every soul of man who does evil, there will be tribulation and distress. Heb 6:19, “This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil.”

Since childhood I already realized that man’s life is short-lived and full of turmoil and trouble. In my imagination I visited the Paradise out of this world and even made up stories about how wonderful was the Paradise and told my brothers and sisters about it. Times flies and life flees like a shadow. Serious thoughts already occupied my young mind. Job 7:6, “My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle,
And come to an end without hope.” My young mind already assessed and realized than human life will come to an end without hope. This is a hopeless world no matter who you are. People who are separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, are having no hope without God in the world. Although by nature I am an optimist, but as a young boy I already came to know vanities of vanity, all is vanity. A sinner is lost, not knowing where he is going, and will be lost forever in Hell. So I was moved by the call of grace, this is one of the major reasons I am Christian.

The hope in Jesus Christ is the anchor of the soul. Conclusively, Eph 2:12, “remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.”

Science offers no way to God. Theology offers no way to God. Philosophy offers no way to God. Religions offer no way to God. Jesus is the only way to God. My hope is in God, and He becomes my salvation.

V. ETERNAL LIFE IN CHRIST

According to the Chinese legend, Emperor Qin Shih Huang, (QinShi Huangti) the first emperor of a unified China, looked for “long life without old age.” He was fooled by the alchemists who made long-life pills for him to take. He was fooled by many magicians and alchemists. Finally, he succumbed to the counsel of a monk to go to the fairy island to look for the precious herb of longevity. Emperor Chen gave him the ships and 3,000 boys and girls to the fairy island in search of eternal life. The story ended in failure and Emperor Qin died as all do.

Mat 19:16, “And someone came to Him and said, “Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?”

Mar 10:17, “As He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up to Him and knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”

Luk 10:25, “And a lawyer stood up and put Him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”

Luk 18:18, “A ruler questioned Him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”

Note: Men of all walks of life want to know what to do in order to obtain or inherit eternal life. Almost all peoples in the world and all man-made religions teach that you must do good thing in order to obtain eternal life. That is the emergence concept of merit and self-righteousness.

The Gospel of John more than other Gospels records the Words of Jesus Christ on eternal life. We must examine the Scriptures carefully. We will arrange in a systematic manner on the most important subject on earth, and present the truth as it is written in the Scriptures.

(1). What is eternal life?

Jhn 17:3, “This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”

Note: Jesus defines eternal life as follows: This is eternal life, that they may know God, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom God has sent. To know God, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom God has sent is eternal life. All other believers of all religions do not have eternal life because they do not know God, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom God has sent. Secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers do not have eternal life because they do not know God, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom God has sent into the world to save sinners. Know in Greek is ginōskō which means to learn to know; to come to know; to perceive; to understand; to have knowledge of; to have personal knowledge of; to know for sure; to get a knowledge of; to have intimate knowledge; to become acquainted with; - which occurs 225 times in the New Testament. To know God is not a head knowledge. To know God you must have a personal and intimate knowledge of God. Knowledge is not information. For example, almost all Americans know Abraham Lincoln was the greatest American president as an information, but I do not know him personally.

To know God, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom God has sent into the world to save sinners, you cannot know this as an information, you must know God and Jesus Christ personally. To personally know God and Jesus Christ is eternal life.

(2). Who can get eternal life?

Act 13:48, “When the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the Word of the Lord; and as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed.”

Note: Appoint in Greek is tassō which means to ordain; to determine; to arrange; to assign or dispose; to set officially; - which occurs 7 times in the New Testament. As many as had been appointed by God to eternal life would believe the Word of the Lord. Just as Jesus says, Jhn 10:26, “But you do not believe because you are not of My sheep.” You do not believe Jesus Christ because you are not His sheep. However, if you are afraid you are not His sheep so you do not believe. The Lord Jesus also says, Jhn 6:37, “All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out.” Two groups of people will believe: all that the Father gives Jesus will come to Jesus, and whoever comes to Jesus He will certainly not cast out. So believe and be saved.

Rom 2:7, “to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life.”

Note: After you have believed in Christ, you also need by perseverance in doing good and seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life. If you say you believe but you seek the things of the world, but that does not mean you seek eternal life. Immortality is eternal life.

1Ti 1:16, “Yet for this reason I found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life.”

Note: Jesus Christ saved Saul who persecuted the Church and demonstrated him as an example for those who would believe in Jesus Christ for eternal life.

(3). Who has eternal life?

Jhn 12:25, ““He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal.”

Note: This does not mean if you hate your life in this world you will keep it to life eternal. It means you hate sin and things in this world, you want to win Christ and count all things but loss for surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ, and so you put your trust in Jesus Christ, follow Him, keep the faith to life eternal.

(4). How to get eternal life?

This question can be phrased in another way. What you must do to obtain eternal life?

Jhn 5:39, “You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me.”

Note: Search the Scriptures does not get you eternal life. But by searching the Scriptures you come to know the way of salvation. To repent and believe in Jesus Christ, you can have eternal life.

Jhn 3:15, “so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life.”

Note: This is the gift of God. Whoever believe in Christ will have eternal life. How wonderful!

Jhn 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”

Note: Although we are unworthy sinners, yet God so loved the world and gave His only begotten Son to die for sinners, so that whoever believes in Jesus Christ shall not perish, but have eternal life.

Jhn 3:36, “He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”

Note: To believe also means to obey. To believe in the Son of God is to obey Him. He who believes in the Son of God has eternal life.

Jhn 5:24, “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.”

Note: This is most serious and faithful and true. He who hears the Word of Jesus and believes God who sent Jesus, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

Jhn 6:47, “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life.”

Note: This is true and no fooling. He who believe in Christ Jesus has eternal life.

Jhn 6:54, “He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”

Note: The flesh of Jesus means His body who suffered and died for our sins, and His precious blood to atone our sins to receive the forgiveness of sins. To participate in the flesh and blood of Jesus is to be redeemed. To be saved is to receive eternal life.

1Jo 5:20, “And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.”

Note: To know the Son of God who is true, and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

1Jo 5:13, “These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.”

Note: Whoever believe in the name of the Son of God may know that they have eternal life.

Tit 3:7, “so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”

Note: All who are justified by the grace of God made heirs and have the hope of eternal life.

1Jo 1:2, “and the life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us—”

Note: Jesus Christ was with the Father and was manifested to the world, and He was proclaimed the eternal life. To have Jesus Christ is to have eternal life.

(5). Who gives eternal life?

Jhn 4:14, “but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”

Note: Jesus Christ is the Life. Jesus Christ gives life. Whoever drinks of the water that Jesus will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life. He who has the Spirit of Christ has eternal life.

Jhn 6:27, “Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal.”

Note: The food which all religions give, the food which science and philosophy give, all the food that we eat will perish. But the food which Jesus Christ will give to you which endures to eternal life.

Jhn 6:40, “For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.”

Note: This is the will of God the Father, that everyone who believes in Jesus Christ will have eternal life. Jesus Christ will raise up all who died in Christ on the last day.

Jhn 6:68, “Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have Words of eternal life.”

Note: Religions, science, and philosophy do not have the Words of eternal life, only Christ has the Words of eternal life. Why do you go to the wrong sources?

Jhn 10:28, “and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.”

Note: Jesus Christ gives to His followers eternal life, and they will never perish. This is the eternal security of Christians. No one will snatch Christians out of the hand of Jesus Christ.

Jhn 12:50, “I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.”

Note: To obey the commandment of God in believing Jesus Christ the Son of God is eternal life. When Jesus speaks, God speaks.

Jhn 17:2, “even as You gave Him authority over all flesh, that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life.”

Note: God the Father gave Jesus Christ authority over all flesh, that to all whom God has given Him, He may give eternal life. There is no eternal life in anybody else, in anything else. Only Jesus Christ may give eternal life.

Rom 5:21, “so that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Rom 5:8, “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

Note: The cross symbolizes the love of God. God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Christ died for us so that we may receive eternal life in Him.

Tit 1:2, “in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised long ages ago.”

Note: God cannot lie. God cannot lie is not because He is unable to lie, it is because He is able not to lie. To lie is contrary to the nature of God. The devil lies because of his nature. Let God be found true, though every man be found a liar. God promised eternal life to all who believe in Jesus Christ long ages ago.

1Jo 2:25, “This is the promise which He Himself made to us: eternal life.”

Note: God Himself made the promise to His children: eternal life.

(6). Who are unworthy of eternal life?

Act 13:46, “Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said, “It was necessary that the Word of God be spoken to you first; since you repudiate it and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we are turning to the Gentiles.”

Note: Anyone who repudiates the Word of God, the Gospel of Christ, are judged themselves unworthy of eternal life. Unbelievers, whoever you are, are unworthy of eternal life.

(7). Who will go into eternal life?

Mat 25:46, “These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Note: The righteous does not mean anyone obtains righteousness by his good deeds. The righteous are those who have been counted righteous by redemption of Jesus Christ. Through Jesus Christ all believers are justified before God. The righteous in Christ will someday go into eternal life.

Jhn 4:36, “Already he who reaps is receiving wages and is gathering fruit for life eternal; so that he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.”

Note: This does not mean that you sows good deeds to have eternal life. It means doing good deeds is gathering fruit for life eternal. You will be rejoicing to receive rewards for your works for the Lord.

Gal 6:8, “For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.”

Note: A Christian who is led by the Spirit will also sows to the Spirit to reap eternal life.

Rom 6:22, “But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life.”

Note: All saved souls are having been freed from sin, one benefit is resulting in sanctification by the Holy Spirit, and the outcome of a Christian life is eternal life.

Rom 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Note: The wages of sin is death, all have sinned, and so all will die. But the free gift of God is eternal in Christ Jesus our Lord.

1Ti 6:12, “Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.”

Note: Christians fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which Christians were called and made the good confession. If you confess Christ before the people, Christ will confess you before God.

Jde 1:21, “keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.”

Note: Those who have been saved, keep themselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.

(8). Who do not have eternal life?

1Jo 3:15, “Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.”

Rom 3:24, “being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus.”

Note: The redemption in Christ Jesus means Jesus died on the cross to atone for our sins, believers are being justified as a gift of God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

1Co 15:19, “If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to be pitied.”

Note: There are church members and preachers who have hoped in this life only, they are of all men most to be pitied. Examples are followers and preachers of prosperity gospel who want to get rich in this world. Also the followers and preachers of political and social gospel who seek to do well in this world, the things of the world.

2Co 5:17, “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.”

2Co 5:19, “namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.”

Gal 2:16, “nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified.”

Gal 3:26, “For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.”

Gal 3:28, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”

Note: There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for all Christians are one in Christ. In the Kingdom of Heaven, there is neither male nor female, all are like angels. But the sons of God are higher than angels.

Jhn 5:24, “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My Word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.”

Rom 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Note: It is clear he who believes God who sent Jesus Christ has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. The free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Eph 1:9-12, “He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the Heavens and things on the earth. In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will, to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ would be to the praise of His glory.”

Col 2:2, “that their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and attaining to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God's mystery, that is, Christ Himself.”

Note: Christian hearts are encouraged because of a true knowledge of God’s mystery, that is, Christ Himself.

1Jo 5:20, “And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.”

Note: To know the Son of God, you need to be given understanding so that you may know Him who is true; this is the true God and eternal life. Arrogant may be secularists and unbelieving scholars, but they do not have the understanding of God who is true and His Son Jesus Christ.

Psa 96:12, “Let the field exult, and all that is in it.
Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy.”

Note: When Jesus Christ returns to reign, then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy. The joy will be so great that all the trees of the forest will sing for joy. Have you ever heard anything like that?

Col 3:3, “For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.”

Note: Christians have eternal security. Why? We have died with Christ on the cross and rose from the dead. Our life is hidden with Christ in God.

Summing up all things in Christ, there is nothing comparable to the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ, things in the Heavens and things on earth. As for me, I want eternal life in Christ my Lord and my Savior.

VI. I MADE A CHOICE

Deu 30:19, “I call Heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants.”

Note: Choose in Hebrew is bachar which means to elect; to decide for; to select; to prove; to examine; to have a preference for; - which occurs 170 times in the Old Testament. You would think it is easy and obvious that when life and death, the blessing and the curse, are set before you, the human race would choose life and blessing. That is not the case. Most people, to my shocking, would choose death and curse. When good and evil are set before you, what would you choose, good or evil? It is most horrible that mankind would choose evil. How do you know? Most people in the world have rejected the Light, Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. I hope you who read this article would choose life, eternal life in Christ. I cannot make atonement for my sins and I cannot save my own soul. But as for me, I have chosen life and so I have made a decision. I have made an effort, I made a choice to become a believer and follower of Jesus Christ. The most important thing that I have done in my life is to choose to accept and believe in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, from childhood to old age, without regret or change of heart.

Deu 30:15, “See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, and death and adversity.”

Note: When you make the choice of your life, you determine your destiny. You might think it is easy to choose between life and prosperity, and death and adversity. In reality, there are may who choose death and adversity. Mat 7:13-14, “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.” There are many who enter through the gate which is wide and the way which is broad that leads to destruction. There are few who find the gate which is small an the way which is narrow that leads to life. In the matter of life and death, you must not follow the crowd.

2Sa 24:10-14, “Now David’s heart troubled him after he had numbered the people. So David said to the LORD, “I have sinned greatly in what I have done. But now, O LORD, please take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have acted very foolishly.” When David arose in the morning, the Word of the LORD came to the prophet Gad, David’s seer, saying, “Go and speak to David, ‘Thus the LORD says, “I am offering you three things; choose for yourself one of them, which I will do to you.” So Gad came to David and told him, and said to him, “Shall seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or will you flee three months before your foes while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days’ pestilence in your land? Now consider and see what answer I shall return to Him who sent me.” Then David said to Gad, “I am in great distress. Let us now fall into the hand of the LORD for His mercies are great, but do not let me fall into the hand of man.”

Note: The Scriptures cited above tells a true story how hard for David to choose one of three evil things: seven years of famine, flee three months before your foes, or three days’ pestilence. All three things are most terrible and undesirable, it is very hard to choose among the evil things. David was in great distress. But David having faith in God’s great mercies, he chose to fall into the hand of the Lord than to fall into the hand of man. David trusts God and does not trust man. In my old age, I have completely lost faith in humanity convinced by facts and evidence. This is the rational and sound basis of David’s choice. God has said about David “A MAN AFTER MY HEART.”(Act 13:22)

Jos 24:15, “If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”

Note: Most incredible but it is true, there are people who think it is disagreeable in their sight to serve the Lord God Almighty. God has given you free will, and freedom of choice. You may choose for yourself today whom you will serve. Joshua has made a choice, as for him and his house, they will serve the Lord. I concur with Joshua, I will serve the Lord. I reject deliberately and rationally Buddhism, Islam, Roman Catholicism, Atheism, Pantheism, Animism, Unitarianism, Hinduism, Humanism, Confucianism, Taoism, and all man-made religions.

Deu 1:13, “Choose wise and discerning and experienced men from your tribes, and I will appoint them as your heads.”

Note: The right and smart thing to do for every nation is to choose wise and discerning and experienced men to be their leaders. Poor world, the situation is just the opposite. Western powers for a long long time had and have warmongers, dictators, aggressors, imperialists, capitalists, supremacists and militarists for their leaders and they have done much evil in this world. So many nations have corrupt and immoral and greedy leaders. If I name names, it will offend many nations and peoples. Open your eyes and look! Democracy is a political fallacy which establishes 1% of the population to rule over the 99% of the populations. Consequently, Washington, Wall Street, Hollywood, military-industrial-security-complex own most of the power and wealth in the world today.

Deu 7:7, “The LORD did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any of the peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples.”

Note: God did not choose the Jewish people as the Chosen People because they are more in number than any of the peoples, for in fact the Jewish people are the fewest of all peoples. I believe God chose the Jewish people because of Abraham the friend of God.

Job 7:15, “So that my soul would choose suffocation,
Death rather than my pains.”

Note: There are unbearable pains that force man to choose suffocation or death. Most of the things happen to a man are not of his choice, they just fall on them without choice. It is heart breaking to witness the pains of the incurable.

Job 15:5, “For your guilt teaches your mouth,
And you choose the language of the crafty.”

Note: Guilt in Hebrew is `avon which means iniquity; fault; sin; mischief; perversity; depravity; moral evil; a depraved action; a crime; calamity; misery; - which occurs 237 times in the Old Testament. I am amused and appalled by the way Western leaders and politicians and Western media habitually and shamelessly, taught by the evil in their mouth to choose the language of the crafty. Crafty in Hebrew is`aruwm which means subtle; sophisticated; skillfully crooked; shrewd; sly; cunning; - which occurs 15 times in the Old Testament. Western leaders, politicians and Western media consistently and persistently lie, lie, and lie; kill, kill, and kill; rob, rob, and rob by covering up themselves with the language of the crafty. When Western leaders sent their military to a weak nation to rob their oil resources, Western leaders shamelessly say they send their military to protect the oil field. Whenever Western leaders want to do evil. They always invent the shrewd slogans of democracy, human rights, civil rights, freedom, equality, justice, etc. to fool the simple-minded. When they want to rob the most expensive real estate in Hong Kong, they paid the simple-minded youth to commit riots and crimes, violence and terrorist acts for the purpose of Hong Kong Independence.

Psa 25:12, “Who is the man who fears the LORD?
He will instruct him in the way he should choose.”

Note: Western leaders and Western media do not fear the Lord God Almighty although they claim to be Christians. It is evident from the way they choose. Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, for God will instruct him in the way he should choose. Like David who made his choice out of three evil things. It is most difficult to choose among equally evil. It is easier to choose lesser evil. It is not easy to choose among equally good. It is easy to choose between greater good and lesser evil. But to my shocking that most people choose evil and not good. Jhn 3:19-21, “This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.”

For the same reason I do not understand why warmongers, militarists, imperialists, capitalists, supremacists, monopolists and terrorists do not choose peace and prosperity, they deliberately choose war and death and destruction. Oh yeah, they want to dictate and dominate the world motivated by the love of money, power, and sex. You see how can you trust humanity who loves evil and darkness rather than the Light. The evil deeds of Western leaders, Washington, Wall Street, Hollywood, military-industrial-security complex, resurgent Japanese militarists, and Islamic terrorists will be exposed and judged by God someday.

Job 34:4, “Let us choose for ourselves what is right;
Let us know among ourselves what is good.”

Note: I have decided to make a choice. I choose for myself what is right and what is good to become a Christian.

1Jo 4:19, “We love, because He first loved us.”

Note: The love of Christ is so wonderful, not because we first loved Him. We love, because Christ first loved us and died for us.

Luk 1:77, “To give to His people the knowledge of salvation
By the forgiveness of their sins.”

Note: The knowledge of salvation is made sure by the forgiveness of our sins. Jhn 5:24,“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My Word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.” He who hears the Word of Christ, and believes God who sent Him, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. Those who have passed out of death into life, they do not come into judgment because their sins have been forgiven by God.

Note: Science, philosophy, and religion are not Light that shines out of darkness, and do not give the Light of the knowledge of God and salvation.

Eph 1:17, “that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him.”

Note: The Spirit of Wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Christ must be given by God, cannot be sought by science or philosophy.

Col 2:2-3, “that their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and attaining to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God's mystery, that is, Christ Himself, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”

Note: Since childhood I was interested in wisdom, so I studied Proverbs. I found no human wisdom can give the people the knowledge of salvation. Science and philosophy do not provide and cannot provide true knowledge and knowledge of the truth. My choice to be a Christian is the most important decision I have ever made.

VII. I KNOW WHOM I HAVE BELIEVED

Job 19:25, “As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives,
And at the last He will take His stand on the earth.”

Note: If you are saved, you can say with confidence, as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives. Jesus Christ is coming again to judge the world and reign with the saints.

2Ti 1:12, “For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day.”

Note: I was not born yesterday, I have passed through childhood, youth, manhood to old age. I have heard and seen a lot. I have watched the world events a great deal. I have studied a great deal. I have thought a lot. I concluded I know whom I have believed. There is nothing better under the Heaven than to be a child of God and a believer in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.

Jhn 7:17, “If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself.”

Note: If anyone is willing to do God’s will, he will know of the teaching of Christ is the teaching of God. You can find out Jesus Christ is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. I have studied other religions, there is no truth in them. I have studied the great and famous, I cannot trust them with eternal truth. I have found out Jesus Christ is true, His Word is true and absolute, Jesus Christ is able to save me to the end.

1Ti 6:17-19, “Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy. Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is life indeed.”

Note: Washington, Wall Street, Hollywood, military-industrial-security-complex are conceited to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches. I have studied a nation for a long period of time, it is most frightening because the majority of people now fix on making money by all means, even crooked means and fraud. They are storing up treasures for now and future. What is life indeed? To many: money, power and sex. To Christians: faith, hope, and love.

1Co 2:2, “For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.”

Note: Determine in Greek is krinō which means to judge; to pick out; to select; to choose; to prefer; to deem; to think; to be of opinion; to resolve; to contend together; to decide; to conclude; to settle by choice; - which occurs 123 times in the New Testament. I am no Paul, can never compare with his knowledge of the mystery of Christ which he received by revelation. But I know the supremacy and excellency of the knowledge of Jesus Christ above all in Heavens and on earth.

2Co 12:2-9, “I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a man was caught up to the third Heaven. And I know how such a man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, God knows—was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which a man is not permitted to speak. On behalf of such a man I will boast; but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in regard to my weaknesses. For if I do wish to boast I will not be foolish, for I will be speaking the truth; but I refrain from this, so that no one will credit me with more than he sees in me or hears from me. Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me—to keep me from exalting myself! Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me. And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.”

Note: Apostle Paul was such a man in Christ who was caught up to the third Heaven, caught up into Paradise, received the surpassing greatness of the revelations, and heard inexpressible words which a man is not permitted to speak. Yet, this man, Apostle Paul, determined to know nothing among believers except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. Without doubt what Paul knows is far more important and precious than any human or scientific knowledge existent today. As for me, I do not receive direct revelation from Jesus Christ, the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, and the knowledge of salvation, are far far important and precious than any human knowledge of any time. The knowledge of Jesus Christ who is the Son of God, the Savior of the world, the Judge of the living and the dead, the King of kings and the Lord of lords, the true God and eternal life is far more important than anybody or anything in the whole universe. The knowledge of Jesus Christ crucified is the knowledge of the Way and the way of salvation. The knowledge of Jesus Christ and Him crucified is all I need to lead me to God, to Paradise. The knowledge of the theory of evolution does not evolve a man into a new man with divine nature. The knowledge of Quantum theory does not give light to those who walk about in darkness, and those who dwell in darkness and in the shadow of death. Science cannot save and offers no salvation.

Isa 12:2, “Behold, God is my salvation,
I will trust and not be afraid;
For the LORD GOD is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation.”

Note: God is my salvation, I trust and not be afraid. For the Lord God is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation.

Eph 1:13, “In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the Gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise.”

Note: Having believed the message of truth, the Gospel of my salvation--I was sealed in Christ with the Holy Spirit of promise.

It is easy and comfortable for an unbelieving philosopher to say or write, "Why I Am Not a Christian." That does not help when you encounter hopelessness in this world, fears, sorrows, suffering, uncertainty, trouble, helplessness, worries, despair and death alone. You were born alone, and you will die alone. An atheist French philosopher was dying, his followers were gathered together in his last moment. The unbeliever was struggling and trying to grasp on something. His followers asked what was he doing. He said, he had nothing to hold on to. Volumes of philosophy cannot give hope to a dying man.

What a man knows and does not know will determine his destiny. If a man knows something and pretends he does not know, he is a liar. If a man pretends to know something he does not know, he deceives himself. If a man knows that he does not know, he knows something. If a man does not know he does not know, he knows nothing. If a man does not know that others may know what he knows, he is self-conceited.

If a man knows what he knows, he has knowledge. If a man knows whom he has believed, he knows something for sure. I know I have believed in Jesus Christ, the coming King of kings and Lord of lords.

Job 13:2, “What you know I also know;
I am not inferior to you.”

Note: There are three classes of people: High class are those who know first, middle class are those who know later, and low class are those who never know. The value of what you know is not the quantity, but the quality and worth.

Gen 4:9, “Then the LORD said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?” And he said, “I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?”

Note: Sinners always deny their crimes. They always deny by saying, “I do not know.” But God knows. God knows everyone and everything.

Gen 12:11, “It came about when he came near to Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, “See now, I know that you are a beautiful woman.”

Note: Abraham knows that he has a beautiful wife. Many men do not know what a beautiful woman is and do not know what kind of women their wives are.

Gen 22:12, “He said, “Do not stretch out your hand against the lad, and do nothing to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.”

Note: Doesn’t God always know? Yes, God knows everything from beginning to end. God knows everything in advance. I do not know why God tested Abraham to offer his son. Probably God wants Abraham to prove himself. “For now I know” is an anthropomorphic expression. It is dangerous for anyone to pretend to know so much about God.

Gen 27:2, “Isaac said, “Behold now, I am old and I do not know the day of my death.”

Note: Not only the old who does not know the day of his death, the young also can die at any time. If you travel by car on American freeway to work and return home everyday (Monday through Friday), can you guarantee that the morning you drive to work on freeway that you will certainly return home safely in the evening?

Exo 18:10-11, “So Jethro said, “Blessed be the LORD who delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians and from the hand of Pharaoh, and who delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.“ Now I know that the LORD is greater than all the gods; indeed, it was proven when they dealt proudly against the people.”

Note: Jethro knew that the Lord is greater than all the gods. Apparently, billions of believers of other gods do not know that.

Deu 31:29, “For I know that after my death you will act corruptly and turn from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days, for you will do that which is evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger with the work of your hands.”

Note: Those who act corruptly and do that which is evil in the sight of the Lord, evil will befall upon them.

1Sa 17:28, “Now Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger burned against David and he said, “Why have you come down? And with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your insolence and the wickedness of your heart; for you have come down in order to see the battle.”

Note: It hurts a lot when your brothers or sisters misjudge your heart. Members of the family hurt more than outsiders.

1Sa 22:3, “And David went from there to Mizpah of Moab; and he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother come and stay with you until I know what God will do for me.”

Note: David was a very wise man. David fulfilled his duty and piety toward his parents. David did not want to do anything until he knows what God will do for him. Do not run ahead of God. Seek the will of the Lord.

1Sa 24:20, “Now, behold, I know that you will surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel will be established in your hand.”

Note: Sometimes knowledge can bring you pain. Saul knows that David will surely be king. For ordinary Israel such knowledge may not cause pain. But Saul is the current king, he knows David will replace him. So Saul asks David to swear by the Lord that he will not cut off his descendants after him.

1Ki 17:23-24, “Elijah took the child and brought him down from the upper room into the house and gave him to his mother; and Elijah said, “See, your son is alive.” Then the woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God and that the Word of the LORD in your mouth is truth.”

Note: The mother of the child said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God and the Word of the Lord in your mouth is truth.” When I was a child, I thought every preacher was a man of God. Now I know a man of God must prove himself by his word and deed.

2Ki 2:5, “The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho approached Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that the LORD will take away your master from over you today?” And he answered, “Yes, I know; be still.”

Note: Elisha was quite an interesting prophet. He knew God was going to take away his master Prophet Elijah. When people questioned Elisha, he answered, “Yes, I know; be still.” Elijah did not want others to foul up the biggest secret he knew. Man should be still before God.

2Ki 5:14-17, “So he went down and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the word of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child and he was clean. When he returned to the man of God with all his company, and came and stood before him, he said, “Behold now, I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel; so please take a present from your servant now.” But he said, “As the LORD lives, before whom I stand, I will take nothing.” And he urged him to take it, but he refused. Naaman said, “If not, please let your servant at least be given two mules’ load of earth; for your servant will no longer offer burnt offering nor will he sacrifice to other gods, but to the LORD.”

Note: The servant of Naaman was wiser than his master. He urged Naaman to do according to the word of the man of God and Naaman was clean and healed from his leprosy.

Job 9:2,“In truth I know that this is so;
But how can a man be in the right before God?”

Note: No man can be justified or be in the right before God on account of his good deeds or merit. But every man who believes in Jesus Christ the Son of God can be justified before God and receive eternal life.

Job 19:25, “As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives,
And at the last He will take His stand on the earth.”

Note: As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last Jesus Christ will return to earth, to judge the living and the dead, and reign with the saints for eternity.

Job 42:2, “I know that You can do all things,
And that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted.”

Note: I know that God can do all things. Nothing is impossible with God. No man, no nation can thwart the purpose of God. God rules in the universe which scientists and philosophers do not know.

Ecc 3:14, “I know that everything God does will remain forever; there is nothing to add to it and there is nothing to take from it, for God has so worked that men should fear Him.”

Note: The God of the universe is the Eternal God. I know that everything God does will remain forever. The world is passing away.

Ecc 8:12, “Although a sinner does evil a hundred times and may lengthen his life, still I know that it will be well for those who fear God, who fear Him openly.”

Note: This is the most comforting knowledge, no matter how the way of the wicked prospers, I know that it will be well for those who fear God, who fear Him openly. I choose to fear God.

Jhn 10:27, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”

Note: I am sheep of Jesus, and Jesus knows me, and I follow Him.

1Co 13:12, “For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.”

Note: Now I know in part, but then when Jesus returns I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.

Phl 4:12, “I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need.”

Note: I pray the Lord to teach and help me how to live for Christ.

2Ti 1:12, “For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day.”

Note: I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that Jesus is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day.

Jdg 16:20, “She said, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” And he awoke from his sleep and said, “I will go out as at other times and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the LORD had departed from him.”

Note: Samson was a tragedy caused by a bad woman. Samson did not know that the Lord had departed him when he needed strength most.

Rth 4:4, “So I thought to inform you, saying, ‘Buy it before those who are sitting here, and before the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if not, tell me that I may know; for there is no one but you to redeem it, and I am after you.'” And he said, “I will redeem it.”

Note: In all business transaction, you have to tell your intention. The only business transaction that patients do not get cost or price information in advance is the American doctors and hospitals do not give advanced information to patients so that they may know what is to be the cost. American legal system allows doctors, dentists, and hospitals to practice predatory and fraudulent and overcharges with impunity. The surprise is no one in government wants to correct and eliminate this injustice and fraudulent practice, and protests to take place. You see 1% of the population can control 99% of the population, and they call it democracy.

1Ki 3:7, “Now, O LORD my God, You have made Your servant king in place of my father David, yet I am but a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in.”

Note: Solomon admitted he was but a little child, and did not know how to go out or come. Solomon asked God for wisdom and God gave him.

Psa 4:3, “But know that the LORD has set apart the godly man for Himself; the LORD hears when I call to Him.”

Note: Do you know in this corrupt and crooked world, the Lord has set apart the godly men for Himself. The Lord hears when I call to Him.

Psa 39:4, “LORD, make me to know my end
And what is the extent of my days;
Let me know how transient I am.”

Note: Secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers do not know and do not want to know their end, what is the extent of their days; and know how transient they are. Warmongers, imperialists, capitalists, supremacists, militarists and terrorists also do not know and do not want to know their end, what is the extent of their days; and know how transient they are. Transient in Hebrew is chadel which means frail; rejected; fleeting; vacant; ceasing or destitute; forsaken; transitory; passing through briefly; - which occurs 3 times in the Old Testament. Everything and everyone comes to an end. Because my Redeemer lives, I will live forever with Him.

Luk 5:24,“But, so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,”—He said to the paralytic—“I say to you, get up, and pick up your stretcher and go home.”

Note: Do you know Jesus Christ, the Son of God, has authority to forgive sins? There is no one but God who can forgive sins.

Jhn 7:17, “If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself.”

Note: If you are willing to do God’s will, you will know the teaching of Jesus Christ is the teaching of God.

Jhn 10:38, “but if I do them, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father.”

Note: In science you know and then believe. In spiritual matters, you believe so that you may know and understand. For that reason, secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers will never know and understand the divinity of Christ because they do not believe.

Jhn 14:20, “In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.”

Note: Believers today still do not know that the Son is in His Father, and believers are in Christ, and Christ is in believers -- in that day we will know the great mystery.

Jhn 19:4, “Pilate came out again and said to them, “Behold, I am bringing Him out to you so that you may know that I find no guilt in Him.”

Note: Pilate, the authority of Roman Empire, declared to the Jews that he found no guilt in Jesus. Jesus the Righteous died for the unrighteous.

Jhn 21:17, “He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.” Jesus *said to him, “Tend My sheep.”

Note: The Lord Jesus knows all things; He knows whether you love Him or not. Church members who love the world do not love the Lord.

1Co 2:1-8, “And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling, and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God. Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away; but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to our glory; the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.”

Note: No one knows the laws of the universe. You do not need to know science or philosophy to get saved. Apostle who received vase revelations direct from Jesus Christ, determined to know nothing except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. When you have the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ, everything else does not matter.

Note: The Gospel which we Christians of all generations believe is not according to man. There are many false gospels according to men. Apostle Paul received the revelation of Jesus Christ directly.

Eph 1:18-21, “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.”

Note: The eyes of secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers are not enlightened so they do not know the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ and what is the hope of His calling. Actually they are blinded by the god of this world. They do not know what are the riches of the glory of God’s inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of God’s power toward those who believe. They do not know the power of God who raised Jesus Christ from the dead and who has authority and power far above all, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

Phl 3:7-11, “But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ, and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith, that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death; in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.”

Note: Paul counted all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus our Lord, and the power of His resurrection.

1Jo 5:13, “These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.”

Note: I believe in the name of the Son God, thank God I know I have eternal life in Christ.

1Pe 1:13, “Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.”

Note: Believe in the name of the Son of God, you may know that you have eternal life. Fix our hope completely on the grace to be brought to us at the second coming (revelation) of Jesus Christ.

Rev 3:15-19, “I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot.‘ So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth. Because you say, “I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing,” and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see. Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent.”

Note: The Lord Jesus knows our deeds. The Lord does not like believers who are neither cold nor hot. We must be zealous and repent.

Heb 5:9, “And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation.”

Note: The source of my eternal salvation is not from man, creed, organization, tradition, or any church. I obey Jesus Christ as the source of eternal salvation.

Phl 4:7, “And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Note: In the last days the world is so perilous and dangerous, we ask the peace of God to guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Phl 4:19, “And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”

Note: This is one of the promises to the children of God, God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. I was not born yesterday, I can testify the Good Lord has supplied all my needs from childhood to old age.

1Th 4:16, “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.”

Note: When the Lord Himself descends from Heave, we will hear a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God. The dead in Christ will rise first.

2Co 2:14, “But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.”

Note: The evil forces cannot defeat the Church of Christ. God always lead believers in triumph in Christ.

Eph 2:7, “so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.”

Note: The salvation of God is eternal, and so in the ages to come God will show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward believers in Christ Jesus.

Phl 3:20, “For our citizenship is in Heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Note: Christians do not belong to this world, for our citizenship in in Heaven. We are eagerly waiting for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, to come to judge the world and reign with the saints.

Phl 4:7, “And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Note: The peace of God will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Phl 4:19, “And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”

Note: This is a promise that God will supply all our needs.

Col 3:4, “When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.”

Note: Christ is my life, when Christ comes the second time, then all Christians will be revealed with Him in glory.

Rev 19:1, “After these things I heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in Heaven, saying, “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God.”

The children of God are a great multitude in Heaven. Alas, God reigns. Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God for all eternity.

Being a Christian my faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, my Lord and Savior, definitely means I am not a Buddhist, not a Confucian, not a Hindu, not a Muslim, etc. and not an atheist. Jesus Christ was much more than the best and wisest of men. Jesus Christ is divine, my God and Savior. My Christian faith has nothing to do with Augustine, Aquinas, John Calvin, Karl Barth, Kierkegaard, C.S. Lewis, etc. I am not linked to the Catholic Church, the Anglican Church, the Lutheran Church, the Orthodox Church, the Presbyterian Church, the Reformed Church, the Methodist Church, the Congressional Church, or the Baptist Church, etc. I believe Jesus Christ is the Head of the Body of Christ, covering all saints dead or alive of all generations. Like Luther I believe in Sola Scriptura ("by scripture alone").

The most important thing I have ever done in my whole life is to accept and believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, as my Lord and Savior, no regret, no apology, no change of heart.

Finally, I want to tell you a secret; it is no secret because it is written in the Scriptures. If you do not know, then it is a secret. Rom 8:28, "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."

As my life reaches advanced years, I look back and honestly tell you the wonder of wonders and mystery of mysteries that God who is Almighty has led me all my life through many crises, difficulties, problems, troubles, tribulations, adversities, pains, sorrows, desperation, sickness, disappointments, dangers, etc. and God has caused all things to work together for my own good. For God is able to turn evil into good, darkness into light, sorrow into joy ... If you repent and believe in Jesus Christ, you may become a child of God. This is better than a large insurance policy without paying high premium, for Jesus Christ our Savior has paid for our ransom, the Heavenly Father will cause all things to work together for your own good.

I fully agree with Blaise Pascal:

“Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.”

“If I believe in God and life after death and you do not, and if there is no God, we both lose when we die. However, if there is a God, you still lose and I gain everything.”

“There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus.”

“Either Christianity is true or it's false. If you bet that it's true, and you believe in God and submit to Him, then if it IS true, you've gained God, heaven, and everything else. If it's false, you've lost nothing, but you've had a good life marked by peace and the illusion that ultimately, everything makes sense. If you bet that Christianity is not true, and it's false, you've lost nothing. But if you bet that it's false, and it turns out to be true, you've lost everything and you get to spend eternity in hell.”

“There are only three types of people; those who have found God and serve him; those who have not found God and seek him, and those who live not seeking, or finding him. The first are rational and happy; the second unhappy and rational, and the third foolish and unhappy.”

In conclusion

I am a Christian because I was drawn to God by grace, it is not because of my doing, my good deed, or my merit. It is absolutely the grace of God who predestined and called me before the foundation of the world. Unworthy as I am, I answer the call and count God’s adoption of me as a son of God and knowing Jesus Christ as my Lord and my Savior the first and the greatest reason of my whole existence.

I find no hope in this world no matter who you are and how hard you try, the end of all is the same: brief life full of troubles and labor. To the rich and powerful is vanity of all vanities, all is vanities. To the poor and helpless is vanity of all vanities, all is vanities. Ecc 5:15, “As he had come naked from his mother's womb, so will he return as he came. He will take nothing from the fruit of his labor that he can carry in his hand.” 1Ti 6:7, “For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either.” Empty we came, empty we go. I study and find the most miserable and pitiful people on earth are those who lie, lie, and lie; kill, kill and kill; rob, rob and rob driven by the love of money, power, and sex and their only hope is this world. Every human life or existence is desperate, only desperate for different reason and in different degree.

I have sought wisdom since childhood. I have explored and engaged in intellectual activities in search for the meaning of life. The more I learn, the more I know, the longer I live, the more I see the futility and vanity of human mind and no man is in his right mind. Jer 9:23, “Thus says the LORD, “Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches.” The best of human reason is like a blind person groping in the darkness. As I see the vision of the Almighty Great God, all of a sudden the great philosophers and intellectual giants of my childhood diminished and became like grasshoppers in my own sight.

However, I have found divine REVELATION much superior to human reason, and the Word of God is absolute and infallible. By revelation of the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ I have come to know the way to God, by faith I receive eternal life in Christ; so I willingly made a choice with all my heart and soul and mind to believe in Jesus Christ the Son of God, my Lord and Savior, and thank God I know Whom I have believed --

“To Him Who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.”

Blessing and honor and glory and dominion are to the Lamb of God forever and ever.

Now you have learned a great deal about God and Jesus Christ, the way to God and the way of salvation, because without God there is no hope in this world no matter who you and what you have, you have also learned the fallibility and failure of human reason and the infallibility and superiority of the revelation of God, you have learned that Jesus Christ is the only Way to God; this is the truth and to believe in Jesus Christ is to receive the eternal life and inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.

Would you make a decision now, and make a choice to repent and believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Savior of the world. You can be assured to know Whom you believe is the most precious and important knowledge in the world.

You can come to Jesus now as you are and wherever you are.

FOURTEEN WAYS TO SAVE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

1.Be honest to tell the evil past of America, and apologize for all its crimes since the end of World War II to the present AND make reparations where possible. Rewrite American history to tell the truth so that the world may know.

2. Hold a national referendum to let the American people to have sovereignty over the the future of the nation as they may choose what form of nation to be:

· A. Empire
· B. Republic

Note: If the majority of American legal voters choose America to be an Empire, then this suggestion is no use. The nation is lost and not salvageable. Therefore, it is assumed the majority American people would choose the nation to be the Republic. As a good Republic, America seeks to be friendly to all nations, big and small, and promote international cooperation in all fields for peace, progress, and prosperity.

3.Change the U.S. Constitution by stipulating the people to have the final sovereignty over the government: A 51% of voters through national referendum can have the power to remove the president, vice president, supreme court justice, senator, cabinet officer, and any high ranking national official without impeachment. Revise the Constitution to ban civilians

From ownership and possession of guns. Outlaw National Riffle Association. Death penalty for crooks and criminals to commit a crime with gun. Death penalty for drunk drivers who cause death. Stamp out police brutality.

4. Change the United States foreign policy of aggression, expansion, war and intervention into sincerely seeking a just and lasting peace for the world. Sanction, tariff, boycott, false accusation or charge, military operation, regime change, etc. are no longer employed to threaten any nation. America will obey the international laws under UN, WTO, WHO, the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court, etc. and respect all international agreements.

5. Disband NATO and close all American overseas military bases, and withdraw all American troops to return home. America will no longer sell weapons, or weapons of mass destruction. America will annul any military or political alliance.

6. Downsize the government, the federal government is decreased by 2/3 (including the Defense Department), and reduce the pay, benefits and pensions of all federal employees by 1/3 across the board. Aim to reduce the national debt and budget deficits.

7. Cease the practice of giving secret service protection to the former presidents and families, and do away with any subsidy or budget for the offices of former presidents, presidential libraries; retired congressional leaders offices, and free mail privileges, etc.

8. Ban political lobby of any former government officials on behave of corporations, foreign governments, and any entity 20 years after leaving the office. Destroy the military-industrial-security complex.

9. Simplify the legal system, law codes, legal processes in simple English that does not require legal opinion or assistance of lawyers. False and facetious litigation will incur hefty financial penalty or prison depending on the severity of the case. Class action lawsuits and jury trials are abolished. Abolish Affirmative Action so that there is no racial discrimination; no special treatment or privilege to any group. Terrorism and terrorists are treated as national enemies to be destroyed without due process of law. Target and eliminate terrorists anywhere.

10.Overhaul and regulate healthcare system so that all citizens are covered at reasonable and affordable cost. Office of Management and Budget shall establish, determine, and publish a national health care pricing schedule to specify the price of each treatment, procedure, test, and medication, etc. For example, the lump sum of having a baby is $200, all inclusive. The price of pulling a tooth is $50, all inclusive. Appendectomy is $150 all inclusive. One tablet of antibiotic is $0.10 per capsule, etc. Doctors, hospital owners, labs, medical supplies, drug and insurance companies that defraud or overcharge patient or Medicare or Medicaid accumulatively over $1 million will be executed and all assets seized for the U.S. Treasury. Corruption of any kind over $1 million will be executed and all assets seized.

11.Overhaul and simplify taxation to reduce the gap of the rich and the poor. A new taxation Table will be set up to determine fair and just tax rate. For example, whether corporation, institution, or individual will follow the Tax Table without deduction, exemption, subsidy, allowance, or considering the size of the family:

Income of $50,000 or under is tax free.

Income of $100,000 - $9 million - 10%

Income of $10 million - $49 million - 20%

Income of $50 million - $299 million - 30 %

Income of $300 million - $699 million - 40%

Income of $700 million - $1 billion - 50%

Income of $10 billion & above- 90%

Inheritance under $10 million is tax free.

Abolish all tax free institutions, foundations, organizations, churches, and religions.

12.Establish a national, state, and city Ombudsman Office to execute and promote justice all over the country. Civil cases can have two routes, go to court and pay court fee. Go to Ombudsman Office which is free. Civil cases include bribery, corruption, abuse of power, unfair treatment, brutality, sexual harassment, grievances, breach of contract, false advertising, broken promise, discrimination, injury, fraud, false accusation, immoral behavior of official, etc. that does not involve death. The Chief Ombudsman is appointed by the president without hearing for the Nation Ombudsman Office in the federal government. Each governor shall appoint a State Ombudsman without hearing and City Ombudsman with the consent of the mayor. State Ombudsmen and City Ombudsmen report directly to the Chief Ombudsman in Washington, DC. Chief Ombudsman and State Ombudsman may request assistance from the FBI for investigative purposes. Chief Ombudsman, State Ombudsman and City Ombudsman are supported by investigators to handle all cases. All false and facetious complaint cases will be penalized. All false testimony and fake evidence will be financially penalized or imprisonment. For example, a local newspaper falsely accused me of not paying subscription fee and used a collection agency to threaten to ruin my credit although I never subscribed or read the paper. I do not need to hire a lawyer. I can go to the local Ombudsman office to settle the case, and the Ombudsman is a federal administrative judge who is empowered to execute justice and punish and penalize the criminal financial penalty and/or imprisonment. The penalty fees collected are used to support the Ombudsman Office.

13.Rebuild national and state and local infrastructure; protect the environment; take effective measures to counter climate change and global warming; control contamination and pollution of soil, food, drug, water and air. Practice equal opportunity in job, promotion, housing, health care, retirement, and education. College admission is based on test score, grade point average, and moral character. American universities are open to the whole world without discrimination of race, color, ideology, or nationality. Every university is required to provide some scholarships especially to poor but bright and worthy students. America promotes the advancement of science and technology to share with the world community.

14. America promotes free competition and cooperation in science and technology; free trade and free market system; and each nation may choose which form of government suitable to its national policy and social condition. America will not impose its political and economic system on any nation. However, America will implement American English as the national language to be used in education,

business, court, transportation, recreation, research and development, government services, and all public places. Any foreign language or dialect is not forbidden in private use. Henceforth, America ceases to be an empire, but seeks equity, equality, and justice for all. Domestically, American embraces Protestant ethic which stresses hard work, thrift, and morality to rebuild America; but no one is required to become a Protestant, for there is absolute religious freedom in America.
