I was born into a southern Baptist family and attended service regularly, But chose not to believe as they do .
I do believe in Jesus Christ; The man,The Sacrifice,My savior I would like to hear more from you about yur thoughts also on the existence of heaven and hell and what happens to a believer and a sinner when they die.
I hope I'm not bothering you with my ramblings and questions,But so far your the one who has the answers to my question
Thanks, Jimmy

The New World Order is not here because Daniel's prophecy says that no one world empire would rule the world again...
...you can read the specifics in the Book of Daniel chapter 2.
As always, whether or not Christ actually existed is irrelevant to my world view.
He may have walked the Earth, and I do believe he did,
the truth he taught is still truth,
He has already been, he has already accomplished his goal, his mission is complete.
Christ is the Son of God.
Christ taught that all those who believed he was the Son of God, were believed by him to be Children of God.
In other words, it is an acknowledgment that we are all EQUAL
If one claims to be the Son of God, but does not acknowledge anyone else as the Child of God, they are not seeing all as equal but their own selves as somehow better.
As Christ was the Son of God, so am I.
The Second Coming. Too many people are waiting for the second coming.
Christ already rose from the dead.
His kingdom is already here.
The second coming of Christ has always been an internal realization of his truth.
distorting his truth,

Truth is in the prophecy
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall ne caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shalll we ever be with the Lord
What does this mean to you my friend?

If heaven is on earth and we never leave earth then why did Jesus say I go to prepare a place for you,and if i go and prepare a place for you,I will come again and receive you unto myself,that where I am ye may be also.
1Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? 6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

so if heaven exists does hell? and if so why would an all powerful being that wants love and peace everywhere allow a place such as that to exist? unless there is nothing he can do about it, again making him not all powerful. would it not be better for him to actually physically show people of his existence and allow people the option to be forgiven? instead of supposed misterious cryptic messages that only a certain few can see? my eyes and mind are open and have been forever but i still dont see anything. thats why i dont believe, i have nothing along those lines to believe in. its like my son beeing scared of monsters under his bed. i can prove to him they are not there but he still believes they exist. until he has lived a life full enough to see for himself the physical evidence, he too will continue to believe in them. If he sees one, then and only then will he know that they are there for sure, so how can people possibly base a belief on something they have never seen? anything could be percieved as a sign from god, but it in itself is not definitive proof that he exists. until i see proof of his existence i wont believe, and due to the way the stories are told, it can never be proven that he does.

What has my statement to do with government?
None of us are kings until we have sovereignity over our own desires. Saying "I am king" does not make it so.
You are correct my friend. Saying one is King does nothing. Knowing one is King, and letting no one tell you otherwise makes it so.
Of course to be King is to not depend on another for your own well being. I depend on God and no one else. There is no higher authority than God in my life. After God, I answer to myself. Why do I have this privledge?
Because I do God's will. I love everyone and I seek to Glorify God in all my actions. Those who do not do this have governments instituted among them to keep the peace and manage labor.
Everyone serves something. Some will serve God, and are Kings and Queens unto themselves. Others will serve themselves, thus government is needed to manage the inevitable disputes.
With Love,
Your Brother
