Quand ce qui est parfait doit venir!

* Quand ce qui est parfait doit venir!


Mark 16:20 "Et ils allèrent de l'avant, et prêchèrent partout, le Seigneur travaillant avec eux et confirmant la parole par des signes suivants. Amen."

 Marc 16:20

Le Seigneur a confirmé la prédication de sa Parole par des miracles. Si Jésus et les chrétiens du premier siècle avaient besoin de la Parole confirmée par le miraculeux (Héb. 2: 4), alors nous aussi. Aucune écriture ne dit que ces signes miraculeux ont disparu.


Certaines personnes ont interprété "ce qui est parfait" dans 1 Corinthiens 13:10, comme étant la Bible complète. Cela les a amenés à croire que les dons de l'Esprit avaient cessé. Bien que la Parole de Dieu soit parfaite (Ps. 19: 7), ce n'est pas la "chose parfaite" qui est mentionnée ici. 1 Corinthians 13: 8 dit que les langues vont cesser, mais cela n'arrivera pas avant que "ce qui est parfait soit venu".


Dans 1 Corinthiens 13:12, Paul dit: "Quand ce qui est parfait sera venu, nous le verrons face à face". Cela parle de voir le Seigneur face à face, au lieu de vaguement, comme à travers un verre sombre, comme il est maintenant. Certains pourraient argumenter qu'il s'agit d'un langage symbolique, plutôt que littéralement face à face. Mais la comparaison suivante dans ce verset indique qu'alors, "quand le parfait sera venu", nous saurons tout, même de la même manière.



 Il n'y a pas d'autre moyen d'interpréter cela, sauf comme une description du moment où nous nous tiendrons devant le Seigneur après cette vie. Nous serons alors face à face et saurons tout comme nous sommes connus.


Le verset huit dit qu'au moment où les prophéties échouent et que les langues cessent, la connaissance disparaîtra. Cela parle de la prochaine vie, ou des nouveaux cieux et de la nouvelle terre, car l’un des signes de la fin des temps est que la connaissance augmentera (Dan. 12: 4).


Ainsi, le «ce qui est parfait» dont parle Paul ne peut être la Bible. Ce doit être soit notre corps glorifié, soit Jésus lors de sa seconde venue. Quoi qu'il en soit, ces versets établissent que tant que "ce qui est parfait ne sera pas venu", les langues et les prophéties resteront. Ce sont toujours des cadeaux valables et, même aujourd'hui, la volonté de Dieu est d'accompagner la prédication de sa Parole par des miracles.

Valid gifts, and even today,

**  When that which is perfect shall come!

Mark 16:20 "And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen."

MARK 16:20

The Lord confirmed the preaching of His Word with miracles. If Jesus and the first century Christians needed the Word confirmed with the miraculous (Heb. 2:4), then we do too. There is no scripture that says these miraculous signs have passed away.

Some people have interpreted "that which is perfect" in 1 Corinthians 13:10, as being the complete Bible. This has led them to believe that the gifts of the Spirit have ceased. Although God's Word is perfect (Ps. 19:7), it is not the "perfect thing" that is referred to here. 1 Corinthians 13:8 does say that tongues shall cease, but it will not happen until "that which is perfect is come."

In 1 Corinthians 13:12, Paul says, "when that which is perfect is come, we shall see face to face." This speaks of seeing the Lord face to face, instead of vaguely, as through a dark glass, as it is now. Some might argue that this is speaking in a symbolic sense, instead of literally face to face. But the next comparison in this verse says that then, "when that which is perfect is come," we shall know all things even as we are also known.

 There is no other way to interpret this, except as a description of when we will stand before the Lord, after this life. Then we will be face to face, and know all things even as also we are known.

Verse eight says that at the time prophecies fail and tongues cease, knowledge will vanish away. This is talking about the next life, or the new heavens and earth, because one of the signs of the end times is that knowledge shall increase (Dan. 12:4).

So the "that which is perfect" that Paul speaks of, cannot be the Bible. It has to be either our glorified body, or Jesus at His second coming. Either way, these verses establish that until "that which is perfect is come," tongues and prophecy will remain. They are still valid gifts, and even today, it is God's will to accompany the preaching of His Word with miracles.

what’s going out?

In 2016, Chris Reining quit his IT job at age 37 with more than $1 million in the bank by living a modest lifestyle, saving and investing more than half his income and putting his money to work. For nearly three years, he’s been living comfortably off of his investments in Madison, Wisconsin.

Achieving such a high savings rate didn’t require that he follow a strict budget, though. In fact, “budgets don’t work,” the self-made millionaire and early retiree writes on his blog. “I don’t believe in them mostly because people can’t stick to them.”

He compares budgeting to dieting: “How many people do you know that are always going on new diets, trying this and that, and never succeeding?”

Doing what actually works can require a mindset shift, he says. “Reaching financial independence, like dieting, is about being conscious, making changes slowly, setting yourself up for success with measurable and attainable goals and making this your lifestyle.”

That’s why, instead of creating a highly-detailed budget that allocates money for different categories, he recommends tracking your money — what’s coming in and what’s going out.

Reining, now 39, has been tracking his income, spending and investments in a spreadsheet since 2006. He’s also been graphing what he calls his “cross-over point”: when monthly investment income crosses above monthly expenses. “When this point happens is when you can seriously consider retiring because you are officially financially independent!” he writes. “No more income is needed from a job.”

Turning your financial goals into something visual such as a graph is crucial, says Reining, because “it drives home the point that you can, in fact, retire early.”

He tells CNBC Make It: “Once you start tracking this stuff and seeing it month to month and then year to year, you really start to understand, ‘If I spend less, that means I’m saving and investing more. And if I’m saving and investing more, I’m going to be able to walk away sooner. I’m going to be able to have financial independence sooner, because these numbers all work together.’”
Experts agree that budgeting may not be mandatory. You can take control of your finances in other ways.

As long as you establish how much you need to save each month for retirement and other major purchases, and you actually set that amount aside, you don’t have to budget at all, says Nick Holeman, certified financial planner at Betterment.

Set your goals, make sure that you’re saving enough to reach them and don’t worry about the day-to-day expenses, he tells Make It: “As long as you know how much you need to be saving and you’re saving enough each month, who really cares where the rest of the money goes?”

    "littérature féministe".

    Les gens en sont venus à penser que la Bible et les récits sur le Christ sont anti-femmes, à la fois en pensée et en action! Pourtant, cela ne pouvait être plus éloigné de la vérité! Regardons Jésus, la personne centrale de la Sainte Bible!

     Ce n'est pas vrai!

    Jésus a négligé des milliers d'années de coutumes et de traditions qui avaient forcé les femmes à devenir des citoyennes de deuxième classe ou presque des non-personnes. Ce qui était devenu la norme dans le monde depuis des siècles!

    Jésus a activement élevé les femmes de leur statut habituel de servantes, de porteuses d'enfants et presque sans importance dans le monde antique. Il est allé jusqu'à reconnaître et féliciter leurs rôles dans le monde! Il a vu des femmes pour lesquelles ils étaient - des partenaires essentiels de la population mondiale et participaient activement à l'évangile de grâce de Dieu.

    Exemple:

    1) La Samaritaine au puits pendant la nuit.

    Jésus l'a engagée {qui était considérée comme impure et étrangère} où elle était venue puiser de l'eau dans un puits. "Voulez-vous me donner un verre?" (Jean 4: 7)

    Il a brisé plusieurs des statuts et rôles habituels d'une femme dans le judaïsme du premier siècle.

     Jésus s'était rendu compte de la douleur et de la souffrance qu'elle portait - {Devant venir pendant la chaleur du jour - à cause de son évitement} Il la traitait avec respect et comme une personne de valeur qu'aucun homme n'avait jamais faite auparavant. Dans son nouveau respect et son appel, elle est retournée dans son village et a tout raconté à propos de Jésus.

    - Jésus n'a jamais laissé personne pareil après une rencontre!


    2) Jésus rencontra une femme infirme et l'appela - "une fille d'Abraham" (Luc 13: 16)

    "Cette femme, fille d'Abraham, que Satan a-t-elle tenue liée pendant dix-huit ans, ne devrait-elle pas être libérée le jour du sabbat de quelle obligation l'a-t-elle liée?" - est sans précédent dans les Saintes Écritures - ne se trouve nulle part ailleurs dans la Bible. Ici, il impliquait l'égalité de statut avec les hommes.


    3) Peut-être n'y a-t-il pas de plus grande preuve quant à la valeur que Jésus a accordée aux femmes que le fait qu'il les a placées et les a accueillies dans son cercle intime d'adeptes dévoués?

    Ce qui comprenait: Mary et Martha, Joanna, Mary Maddalene, Suanna et beaucoup d'autres.


    4) Nous voyons l'honneur spécial qu'il a donné à sa mère. Dans (Jean 19: 25-27) même dans ses dernières heures, avant sa mort! "Près de la croix de Jésus se trouvaient la sœur de sa mère, Marie, l'épouse de Clopas, et Marie-Madeleine. Quand Jésus vit sa mère là-bas, il lui dit:" Femme, voici ton fils ", puis au disciple Jean," Voici ta mère. "Et elle est allée chez John. Nous pouvons lire où le premier-né est responsable des membres de sa famille.

    Mais nous lisons avant sa résurrection (Jean 7: 5): "Même ses frères ne croyaient pas en lui".

    C'est pourquoi il a confié les soins de sa mère à Jean!


    5) Après sa résurrection, Jésus a fait preuve de compassion dans (Marc 16: 9). Nous lisons: "Quand Jésus se leva tôt le premier jour de la semaine, il apparut d'abord à Marie Madeleine, d'où il avait chassé les démons." Mais Marie ne l'a pas reconnu - jusqu'à ce qu'elle l'entende dire tendrement son nom. Elle se retourna et dit "Rabboni!" (Ce qui signifie "Maître" - Jean 20:16).


    Cela devrait vous faire pleurer à la vue de l'expérience la plus profonde imaginée - Jésus en tant qu'amoureux des femmes le plus radical!

/ˈfemənəst/

noun

noun: feminist; plural noun: feminists

1. A person who supports feminism.

adjective

adjective: feminist

1. 
   

   Relating to or supporting feminism.

   "feminist literature."

   
   

   
   

   People have come to think that the Bible and stories about Christ are anti-women in both thought and deed! Yet this could not be further from the truth! Let's look at Jesus, the central person in the Holy Bible!
    This is not true!

   
   

   
   

   Jesus overlooked thousands of years of customs and traditions which had forced women into second-class citizen or almost nonpersons. Which had become the norm in the world for centuries!

   Jesus actively elevated women from their usual status as servants, child bearers and almost non-importance in the ancient world. He went so far as to recognize and commend their roles in the world! He saw women for whom they were - critical partners of the world's population and actively participate in God's Gospel of Grace.

   Example:

   1) The Samaritan woman at the well during the noonday.

   Jesus engaged her {Who was considered unclean, and a foreigner} where she had come to draw water from a well. "Will you give me a drink?" (John 4:7)  

   He broke several of the usual status and roles for a woman' in first century Judaism.

    Jesus had realized the pain and suffering she bore - {Having to come during the heat of the day - because of being shunned} He treated her with respect and a valued person which no man had ever done before.  In her new found respect and calling she went back to her village and told all about Jesus.

   - Jesus never left anyone the same after an encounter! 

   
   

   2) Jesus met a crippled woman and called her - " a daughter of Abraham "  (Luke 13: 16)
   " Should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen years, be set free on the Sabbath day from what bound her?" -  is unparalleled in the Holy Scriptures - occurs nowhere else in the Bible. Here He implied equal status with men.
   
   3) Perhaps there is no greater evidence as to the value Jesus placed upon women than the fact how He placed and welcomed them into His inner circle of devoted followers?
   Which included : Mary and Martha, Joanna, Mary Maddalene,  Suanna,  and many others.
   
   4) We see the special honor He gave His Mother. In (John 19:25-27) even in His last hours, before His death! "Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw His Mother there He said to her. "Woman, here is your son, " then to the disciple John, "Here is your Mother."  And she went into John's home.  We can read where the firstborn is responsible for his family members.
   But we read (John 7:5) before His resurrection." Even his brothers did not believe in Him."
   Therefore He entrusted the care of His mother to John!
   
   5) After His resurrection, Jesus showed compassion in (Mark 16:9) - we read " When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had driven demons ."  But Mary did not recognize Him - until she heard Him tenderly said her name. She turned and said " Rabboni! " (Which means 'Teacher' - John 20:16).
   
   This should reduce you to tears as we see the most profound experience imagined - Jesus as the most radical lover of women!
   
     Read the Holy Scriptures for yourself!
   
   
   
   
   
   
   

An algorithm is only useful under certain conditions

What is an algorithm?

An algorithm (pronounced AL-go-rith-um) is a procedure or formula for solving a problem, based on conducting a sequence of specified actions. A computer program can be viewed as an elaborate algorithm. In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm usually means a small procedure that solves a recurrent problem.

Definition - What does Algorithm mean?

An algorithm is a step by step method of solving a problem. It is commonly used for data processing, calculation, and other related computer and mathematical operations.
An algorithm is also used to manipulate data in various ways, such as inserting a new data item, searching for a particular item or sorting an item.

 Technology is everywhere in our society, and it is, in fact, changing our society rapidly in ways unforeseen and sometimes unforseen. What do we need to know, and when do we need to know it? 

Welcome to Futurography, an online series of informal classes that will give you, the reader, a personal, cultural, political, and technological understanding of the future. Over the next six months, we will look at artificial intelligence, drones, cyberwar, driverless cars, algorithms, and geoengineering. For each subject, we’ll tell you who you should know about, what you should be reading about, and the issues everyone is talking about. Then we’ll share a series of articles with the latest information. It will be as informative and helpful as any online learning course, all without the tuition and the exams.

 In his book The Master Algorithm, Pedro Domingos offers a masterfully simple definition: “An algorithm is,” Domingos writes, “a sequence of instructions telling a computer what to do.” As Domingos goes on to explain, algorithms are reducible to three logical operations: AND, OR, and NOT. While these operations can chain together in extraordinarily complex ways, at core algorithms are built out of simple rational associations.

 =====

 What do we not want algorithms to do for us? 
So far the debate over the use of algorithms has only hinted at what, for lack of a better term, might be called the creepiness factor. Robotics has the Uncanny Valley. Bioethicists argue about the “wisdom of repugnance,” a feeling of disgust some people experience when contemplating procedures such as genetic engineering. But when it comes to algorithms, we still focus largely on their effectiveness rather than the possibility that they might create something deeply unpleasant.

The unease triggered by stories such as Castlight’s pregnancy prediction is telling us something—not that we should abandon algorithms altogether but that we should think more clearly about the balance we want to strike between total transparency and the secrets we want to keep to ourselves. We need a way of assessing algorithms apart from their technical prowess, a meaningful way to think through the likely uses and abuses of algorithms. We need to ask a heretical question, at least by Silicon Valley standards: Is there such a thing as knowing too much?

=== 

 Having worked for years with Electronics and computer controls, I have an excellent understanding of the " Electronic Logic " use of the AND, OR and NOR functions.
These are the basic units which are used to govern the electronic controls in all circuits; from simple to the very complicated large applications. 

The big question is how and why certain people want to use the Algorithm or electronic control " Logic" to control the world - Through the use of  A.I. {Artificial Intelligence}! It is some what like letting the dog walk the human.

If you take time to look at what and how algorithms are being used in the world today - You will find that there has been much smoke and mirrors or plane fluff; because are some serious complications. While many circuits have been used to control certain; limited tasks or simple assignments. Yet even with the great applications to date - many simple functions such as simulations of the human hand movements tend do not function well in the A.I. arena.

Much of this is because the real world is analog which is instant continuous movements and even sweeping spitiraling motions.  While the electric Logic circuits are Digital or step by step manipulations.  An easy comparison would be to look at how one has to play chess or checkers on the Grid playing board - vs any other place you can just sweep or move directly from one place to another on the same playing surface, without any grid restrictions or limits. 
 {This is only considering a single plane surface of operation!}

HEART ATTACKS AND WATER

HEART ATTACKS AND WATER !

How many folks do you know who say they don't want to drink anything before going to bed because they'll have to get up during the night.

Heart Attack and Water - I never knew all of this ! Interesting.......
Something else I didn't know ... I asked my Doctor why people need to urinate so much at night time. Answer from my Cardiac Doctor - Gravity holds water in the lower part of your body when you are upright (legs swell). When you lie down and the lower body (legs and etc) seeks level with the kidneys, it is then that the kidneys remove the water because it is easier. This then ties in with the last statement!

I knew you need your minimum water to help flush the toxins out of your body, but this was news to me. Correct time to drink water...
Very Important. From A Cardiac Specialist!

Drinking water at a certain time maximizes its effectiveness on the body
2 glasses of water after waking up - helps activate internal organs
1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal - helps digestion
1 glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower blood pressure
1 glass of water before going to bed - avoids stroke or heart attack
I can also add to this... My Physician told me that water at bed time will also help prevent night time leg cramps. Your leg muscles are seeking hydration when they cramp and wake you up with a Charlie Horse.

Mayo Clinic Aspirin Dr. Virend Somers, is a Cardiologist from the Mayo Clinic, who is lead author of the report in the July 29, 2008 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
Most heart attacks occur in the day, generally between 6 A.M. and noon. Having one during the night, when the heart should be most at rest, means that something unusual happened. Somers and his colleagues have been working for a decade to show that sleep apnea is to blame:

1. If you take an aspirin or a baby aspirin once a day, take it at night.
The reason: Aspirin has a 24-hour "half-life"; therefore, if most heart attacks happen in the wee hours of the morning, the Aspirin would be strongest in your system.
 

2. FYI, Aspirin lasts a really long time in your medicine chest, for years, (when it gets old, it smells like vinegar).

Please read on...
Something that we can do to help ourselves - nice to know. Bayer is making crystal aspirin to dissolve instantly on the tongue.
They work much faster than the tablets.

Why keep Aspirin by your bedside? 

It's about Heart Attacks.
There are other symptoms of a heart attack, besides the pain on the left arm. One must also be aware of an intense pain on the chin, as well as nausea and lots of sweating; however, these symptoms may also occur less frequently.

Note: There may be NO pain in the chest during a heart attack.
The majority of people (about 60%) who had a heart attack during their sleep did not wake up. However, if it occurs, the chest pain may wake you up from your deep sleep.
If that happens, immediately dissolve two aspirins in your mouth and swallow them with a bit of water.

Afterwards: - Call 911. - Phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by.- Say "heart attack!" - Say that you have taken 2 Aspirins.

Take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door, and wait for their arrival and ...

DO NOT LIE DOWN!

A Cardiologist has stated that if each person after receiving this e-mail, sends it to 10 people, probably one life could be saved!

Définissez vos priorités puis concentrez-vous sur elles

** L’unicité du but et de la vision est une nécessité pour une vie chrétienne victorieuse. James a dit que si nous essayons de maîtriser beaucoup de choses, nous échouerons (Jas. 3: 1). Nous devons établir des priorités et nous concentrer sur elles. **

Définissez nos priorités puis concentrez-vous sur elles

** Chaque personne a ses propres opinions et une fois que nous en venons à apprendre quel est notre destin; nous ne devons pas laisser la conduite des autres nous mettre sur notre chemin ou nous dissuader de nos tâches assignées et de notre appel éternel.
Jean 21:21 (NKJV)

21 Pierre, le voyant, dit à Jésus: Mais Seigneur, qu'en est-il de cet homme?

Jésus venait de dire à Pierre de le suivre. Cependant, Pierre voulait savoir ce que le Seigneur avait prévu pour Jean. Au lieu que Jésus réponde à la question de Pierre, le Seigneur lui dit que ce qu'il avait en réserve pour John n'était pas son affaire.


Satan détourne beaucoup de gens en les préoccupant de ce que les autres font pour le Seigneur. Se comparer aux autres, que nous sortions meilleurs ou pires, n'est pas sage (2 Cor. 10:12).


Nous devons être tellement déterminés à suivre le Seigneur que nous ne regardons ni à droite ni à gauche pour voir ce que les autres font. Peu importe que nous fassions autant pour servir le Seigneur que quelqu'un d'autre. La question est de savoir si nous faisons tout ce que le Seigneur veut que nous fassions.


La simplicité du but et de la vision est une nécessité pour une vie chrétienne victorieuse. James a dit que si nous essayons de maîtriser beaucoup de choses, nous échouerons (Jas. 3: 1). Nous devons établir des priorités et nous concentrer sur elles.


Les Écritures enseignent que la mémoire peut être une force puissante bénéfique pour le bien de nos vies.

Il est toujours bon de se rappeler que nous étions autrefois en dehors de la grâce salvatrice de Dieu.

C'est un antidote contre l'orgueil et la propre justice. Une personne qui se souvient de ce qu’elle était aura une meilleure compréhension de qui il est maintenant. Nous devons cultiver nos souvenirs en méditant sur les grandes choses que Dieu a faites pour nous et qu'il nous a dites.


Philippiens 4
Méditer sur ces choses

8 Enfin, frères {gens}, quelles que soient les choses qui soient vraies,

quelles que soient les choses nobles,

tout ce qui est juste,

quelles que soient les choses pures,

quelles que soient les choses sont belles,

quelles que soient les choses de bon rapport,

s'il y a une vertu et s'il y a quelque chose de louable -

méditer sur ces choses.

9 Ce que vous avez appris et reçu, entendu et vu en moi, agissez de la sorte, et le Dieu de paix sera avec vous.


11 - J'ai appris, quel que soit mon état, à être content: 12 Je sais être abaissé, et je sais abonder. Partout et dans tous les domaines, j’ai appris à être rassasié et affamé, à abonder et à subir les besoins.

13 Je peux faire toutes choses par [f] Christ qui me fortifie.

Set our priorities then focus on them

Set our priorities then focus on them  
** Each person has their won views and once we come to learn what our destiny is; we must not allow the conduct of others get in our way or deter us from our appointed tasks and eternal calling.

John 21:21  (NKJV)

²¹ Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, “But Lord, what about this man?”

Jesus had just told Peter to follow Him. However, Peter wanted to know what the Lord had planned for John. Instead of Jesus answering Peter's question, the Lord told him that what He had in store for John was none of his business.

Satan diverts many people by getting them preoccupied with what others are doing for the Lord. Comparing ourselves with others, whether we come out better or worse, is unwise (2 Cor. 10:12).

 We need to be so single-minded following the Lord, that we don't look to the right or to the left to see what others are doing. It doesn't matter if we are doing as much to serve the Lord as someone else. The question is, are we doing all that the Lord wants us to do?

Singleness of purpose and vision is a necessity to victorious Christian living. James said that if we try to master many things we will fail (Jas. 3:1). We have to set priorities and focus on them.

The scriptures teach that memory can be a powerful force for good in our lives. 
It is always good to remind ourselves that we were once apart from God's saving grace.
 It is an antidote against pride and self-righteousness. A person who remembers what he used to be will have a clearer understanding of who he is now. We have to cultivate our memories by meditating on the great things God has done for us and spoken to us.

Philippians 4

Meditate on These Things

⁸ Finally, brethren {people}, whatever things are true, 
whatever things are noble,
 whatever things are just,
 whatever things are pure, 
whatever things are lovely, 
whatever things are of good report,

meditate on these things.

L'insatisfaction est une partie importante de toute tentation.

L'insatisfaction est une partie importante de toute tentation.

** Notre esprit né de nouveau est identique en justice, en autorité et en puissance à l'esprit de Christ parce que notre esprit né de nouveau est l'Esprit de Christ

JEAN 20:31

31 mais ceux-ci sont écrits pour que vous croyiez que Jésus est le Christ, le Fils de Dieu, et que croyant pouvoir avoir la vie en son nom.

La reconnaissance de notre complétude en Christ est une formidable garantie contre la tromperie. Avant le salut, nous sommes incomplets et nous efforçons constamment de satisfaire notre faim. Mais à travers la nouvelle naissance, nous sommes complets en Christ et notre faim ne devrait viser qu'une révélation accrue de ce que nous avons déjà en Christ. La satisfaction totale avec Christ désarme les mensonges de Satan.

L'insatisfaction est une partie importante de toute tentation.

Adam et Ève n'auraient pas mangé du fruit défendu s'ils n'avaient pas été mécontents de ce qu'ils avaient. À travers le mensonge de Satan, ils ont été amenés à croire qu'ils ne l'avaient pas tout (Genèse 3: 5).

 La vérité était qu'ils avaient tout. Ils ressemblaient plus à Dieu avant de manger du fruit qu'après le repas. Leur mécontentement était une étape préliminaire à leurs actes de péché.

Satan nous tente de la même manière qu'il est venu contre Adam et Eve

(2 Cor. 11: 3) 3 Mais je crains que de toute façon, comme le serpent ait trompé Eve par sa ruse, de sorte que votre esprit puisse être corrompu par la simplicité qui est en Christ.

Notes de bas de page:
2 Corinthiens 11: 3 NU ajoute et la pureté
Par conséquent, une révélation complète de notre complétude en Christ nous empêchera de poursuivre tout ce que le diable a à offrir. Si quelqu'un vous dit que Christ ne suffit pas; que vous avez besoin de quelque chose de plus, alors c'est l'ennemi le diable qui essaie de vous détourner de votre complétude en Christ. [N'y allez pas - suivez votre coeur et utilisez votre foi!]

De la même manière que Jésus a la plénitude de Dieu en lui, nous avons la plénitude de Christ en nous. Cela nous rend complets ou parfaits en Lui - c'est notre homme spirituel.

 Notre esprit né de nouveau est identique en justice, autorité et puissance à l'esprit de Christ parce que notre esprit né de nouveau est l'Esprit de Christ (Romains 8: 9) qui a été envoyé dans nos cœurs en criant "Père Abba" 4: 6).

A big part of all temptation is dissatisfaction.

** Our born-again spirit is identical in righteousness, authority, and power to Christ's spirit because our born-again spirit is the Spirit of Christ  

JOHN 20:31

31 but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.

Recognition of our completeness in Christ is a tremendous safeguard against deception. Prior to salvation we are incomplete and constantly strive to satisfy our hunger. But through the new birth, we are complete in Christ and our hunger should only be for more revelation of what we already have in Christ. Total satisfaction with Christ disarms Satan's lies. 

A big part of all temptation is dissatisfaction.

Adam and Eve would not have eaten of the forbidden fruit if they hadn't been made dissatisfied with what they had. Through Satan's lie, they were led to believe that they didn't have it all (Gen. 3:5).

 The truth was, they did have it all. They were more like God before they ate of the fruit than after they ate the fruit. Their dissatisfaction was a preliminary step to their acts of sin.

Satan tempts us in the same way he came against Adam and Eve 

(2 Cor. 11:3) 3 But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the [a]simplicity that is in Christ.

Footnotes:

1. 2 Corinthians 11:3 NU adds and purity

Therefore, a full revelation of our completeness in Christ will keep us from chasing after all the things the devil has to offer. If anyone tells you that Christ isn't enough; that you need something more, then that's the enemy the devil trying to turn you away from your completeness in Christ.  [Do not go there - follow your heart and use your faith!]

In the same way that Jesus has the fullness of God in Him, we have the fullness of Christ in us. That makes us complete or perfect in Him - that is our spiritual man.

 Our born-again spirit is identical in righteousness, authority, and power to Christ's spirit because our born-again spirit is the Spirit of Christ   (Rom. 8:9) which has been sent into our hearts crying "Abba Father"    (Gal. 4:6).

"Paix à vous!

JEAN 20:21

JEAN 20:21
21 Jésus leur dit de nouveau: "Paix à vous!
Comme le Père m'a envoyé, je vous envoie aussi. "

Le dictionnaire indique que réconcilier signifie rétablir l’amitié entre les deux peuples; à régler ou à résoudre, comme un différend. La clé de la réconciliation est de traiter efficacement l'inimitié, la mauvaise volonté, la haine ou l'hostilité qui a provoqué le conflit, en premier lieu!

L'inimitié entre l'homme et Dieu était un péché. Dieu prit l'initiative de supprimer cette barrière par les moyens et par l'intermédiaire de Jésus-Christ, laissant ainsi à nouveau l'homme et Dieu en amis.

Nous avons reçu le ministère de la réconciliation. Cela signifie que nous sommes dans le ministère de réconcilier les gens avec Dieu. Une grande partie de ce que les gens appellent l'évangile aujourd'hui éloigne réellement les gens de Dieu.

Certes, nous devons montrer aux gens qu’ils ont besoin de Dieu - pour qu’ils reçoivent son pardon et sa réconciliation, mais l’attitude amère et en colère de certaines personnes face au pécheur n’est pas correcte.

 {La meilleure considération est de chercher à s'aimer les uns les autres plutôt que d'attaquer!}

L'imputation des péchés des gens sur eux n'était pas la façon dont Dieu a utilisé Jésus pour réconcilier le monde avec lui-même. Nous ne devrions pas nous concentrer sur le problème du péché, mais sur la réponse à la grâce de Dieu (Rom. 5: 20. De plus, la loi stipulait que le délit pouvait abonder. Mais là où le péché abondait, la grâce abondait davantage)

Quand vous lisez un journal, vous lisez des choses qui se sont déjà produites. Ils ne rapportent pas de prophétie. Ils rapportent les nouvelles. Ainsi, notre véritable travail en tant que ministres de la réconciliation consiste à annoncer la bonne NOUVELLE, ce qui est un fait accompli: le péché a déjà été traité à travers la personne de Christ.

Nous devrions dire: "Maintenant, nous vous en supplions, réconciliez-vous avec Dieu. Changez d'idée et croyez en l'évangile afin que vous puissiez prendre part à ce qui a déjà été fait pour vous."
Comme le Père m'a envoyé, je vous envoie aussi. "

The God-kind of faith doesn't leave us

JOHN 20:25

25 The other disciples, therefore, said to him, "We have seen the Lord." So he said to them, "Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side,

 I will not believe."

Thomas refused to believe what He couldn't see or feel. Our five senses were given to us by God and are necessary to help us function in this life. But if we do not renew our minds to acknowledge the limits of our five senses, they will keep us from believing. Faith can perceive things that the senses cannot (Heb. 11:1).

There is a human faith and a supernatural, God-kind of faith.

 Human faith is based on physical things that we can see, taste, hear, smell, or feel. God's kind of faith believes independently of physical circumstances. To receive God's gift of salvation, we have to use the supernatural, God-kind of faith which isn't limited by our five senses. 

This is because, to be saved, we must believe for things that we can't see or feel. We haven't seen God or the devil. We haven't seen Heaven or Hell. Yet we have to believe that these things exist. Human faith can't believe what it can't see.

Man is so destitute that he can't even believe the gospel on his own. To receive God's gift of salvation, we have to receive the supernatural, God-kind of faith first. Where does this faith come from? 

How do we get it?

Romans 10:17 says, "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." God's Word contains His faith. As we hear the Word of God about salvation, We receive God's faith so that we can believe the good news of our salvation. We actually use God's faith to get saved.

This God-kind of faith doesn't leave us after our born-again experience.

An angry or a bitter attitude when confronting the sinner is never correct.

JOHN 20:21

21 So Jesus said to them again, "Peace to you! 

As the Father has sent Me, I also send you."

The dictionary states that to reconcile means to re-establish friendship between; to settle or resolve, as a dispute. The key to reconciliation is to effectively deal with the enmity, ill will, hatred, or hostility that caused the dispute, in the first place!

The enmity between man and God was a sin. God took the initiative to remove this barrier through the means and agency of Jesus Christ, thus leaving man and God as friends once again.

We have received the ministry of reconciliation. That means we are in the ministry of reconciling people to God. Much of what people call the gospel today is actually alienating people from God. 

True, we need to show people their need for God - to get them to receive His forgiveness and reconciliation, but the angry and bitter attitude some people have when confronting the sinner is not correct. 

 {The better consideration is to seek to love one another!}

Imputing people's sins unto them was not the way God used Jesus to reconcile the world unto Himself.  We should not focus on the problem of sin but on the answer to God's grace  - Rom. 5:20 Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more,.

When you read a newspaper, you read about things that have already happened. They are not reporting prophecy. They are reporting the news. So our real job as ministers of reconciliation is to announce the good NEWS,  which is an accomplished fact - that sin has already been dealt with through the person of Christ. 

We should say, "Now we beseech you, be ye reconciled to God. Change your mind and believe the gospel so that you may partake of what has already been done on your behalf."

The power is available to all believers today.

LUKE 24:49

49" Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high."

John's baptism was a baptism with water unto repentance for the remission of sins. John preached that the Lamb of God came to take away the sins of the world (Jn. 1:29), but he didn't administer the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

However, both John the Baptist and Jesus prophesied the church age, when believers would be baptized with the Holy Ghost.

The baptism of the Holy Spirit came on the day of Pentecost, but it was not only for these few individuals. Peter said in Acts 2:39, "For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off (this means you and everyone who chooses!), even as many as the Lord our God shall call." 

This same power is available to all believers today.

The promise of the Spirit being poured out on "all flesh" is speaking of all manners of flesh or mankind. It is evident that not everyone has the Holy Spirit. Rather, this reveals that the door of salvation and the filling of the Holy Spirit is opened unto Jew and Gentile, male and female, adult, and child.

Many people argue whether or not we are in the last days. Joel prophesied that this outpouring of the Holy Ghost would take place in the last days and Peter said that was what happened here, on the day of Pentecost.

If the coming of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, which happened nearly 2,000 years ago, was the beginning of the last days, then the time must certainly be getting short for us. This should settle the argument for those who believe the Bible. Nevertheless, we can confidently say that this is our last generation. 

We need to be about our Father's work.

Jesus gave us the power to remit.

JOHN 20:23

23 " If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained."

The meaning of this verse has been hotly debated for centuries. One thing is certain, it does not mean that we have the power to justify a person from his sins so he can be born again; only God can do that.

Many people have taught that Jesus is saying, that if we fail to witness to others, we are retaining their sins unto them, and if we do share His love with others, then we are remitting their sins. 

Although there is truth in this statement, it is not what this verse is teaching. Rather, this verse deals with the temporal effects that sin has on a person's life. Not only is there a future death penalty for sin, but sin destroys us emotionally and physically in this life too. It is this present destruction that sin brings into a person's life that Jesus gave us the power to remit.

Through intercession we can remit a person's sins, so even though he has sown to the flesh and deserves to reap corruption (Gal. 6:8), he will not reap what he has sown. 

This is done for the purpose of loosening a person from the bondage which Satan desires to hold them in; until they come to see the light and repent. This is only a temporary situation and must be continually repeated if the person we are praying for continues to live in sin. They must repent!

On the other hand, there are times when it is not in the best interest of the individual to remit his sins. There are times when he needs to be made painfully aware of the consequences of his sins.  - In these cases, we have the power to retain his sins; that is, we withdraw our intercession and he reaps what he sows in hope that this will cause him to turn back to God. 

Repentance is the key to this success!

  ===============

J'aime le sujet de la naissance de Jésus, cela a si peu à voir avec la célébration de Noël. Pourquoi la naissance de Jésus n'est-elle pas assez importante pour qu'on puisse l'enseigner d'un point de vue biblique et historique, plutôt que des anciennes célébrations religieuses et païennes que nous continuons à célébrer?

Premièrement, examinons quelque chose que je trouve très intéressant et convaincant du point de vue de Dieu et du fait que Dieu est parfait dans tout ce qu’Il ​​fait.
Dieu tout puissant, le Père de Jésus-Christ n'est pas un plan de bon gré mal gré de Dieu. Ce n'est pas non plus sans but, tout ce qu'il fait a aussi un plan et un but!

La naissance de son fils, le dernier "agneau sacrificiel",
(veuillez en prendre note)
L'agneau sacrificiel de Dieu était par intention de Dieu, et nous devons nous demander comment et pourquoi un agneau pour sacrifice au temple a été choisi?

Si nous regardons où Jésus est né, à Bethléem, alors nous devons croire que Dieu avait choisi Bethléem pour sa raison. Historiquement, à seulement 1 000 pas de Bethléem était un endroit mentionné à deux reprises dans l'Ancien Testament, Genèse 35:21 et Micha 4:18 KJB, Migdal Edar, alias La tour du troupeau! C'était un endroit choisi pour l'élevage et la naissance des agneaux qui seraient sacrifiés au temple, un endroit très spécial où tout était comme Dieu l'aurait voulu.
 Ces bergers n'étaient pas des bergers ordinaires mais des bergers soumis à une interdiction du rabbinisme en raison de leur isolement nécessaire par rapport aux ordonnances religieuses et de leur mode de vie qui rendaient les observances légales strictes. Ils étaient dévoués à leur vie au service de Dieu et à la tâche de veiller à ce que les troupeaux choisis par les prêtres du temple soient sains et saufs pour le sacrifice.

La tour du troupeau est décrite comme un bâtiment en pierre de deux étages, avec le deuxième étage où les bergers pourraient avoir une bonne vue sur les troupeaux et les terres environnantes. Le premier étage était l'endroit où les bergers prenaient les agneaux nouveau-nés pour les préparer et les protégeaient de toute tache, ils devaient être irréprochables.

Cette propriété était juste à l'extérieur de Bethléem, sur la route reliant Jérusalem à Bethléem, elle était connue sous le nom de Old Hebron Rd. Bethléem est à environ 5 miles au sud de Jérusalem.

Les agneaux sacrificiels ont été pris à la naissance, inspectés pour rechercher toute tache, et les immaculés ont été enveloppés dans un tissu de lin stérile appelé emmaillotage. Ils ont été bien enveloppés pour reproduire le ventre de la mère et les empêcher de se blesser et de devenir tachés.

La zone située au premier étage de la tour n'était pas une écurie sale remplie de chevaux, de chameaux, de vaches ou de tout autre animal de la ferme, elle était très propre dans le but de donner naissance à ces agneaux spéciaux. Le dernier agneau sacrificiel de Dieu {Christ} est très probablement né à la Tour du Troup sous la direction de Dieu qui contrôlait la conception de Jésus par le Saint-Esprit et sa naissance.

Les mystérieux mages:
 Ces rois {hommes savants ou observateurs destinés à l'avenir} ne sont mentionnés que dans l'évangile de Matthieu 2: 1-2; et 2: 11-12.
 Avec peu de détails, la plupart de nos connaissances proviennent de spéculations et de traditions.
Les Saintes Écritures ne disent pas combien il y en avait {on pensait généralement qu'il y en avait 3 à cause des dons qui ont été apportés}.

Ils ont reconnu Jésus-Christ comme étant le Messie alors qu'il était un enfant après avoir parcouru des milliers de kilomètres simplement pour l'adorer. À cette époque, Jésus était un jeune enfant, pas un enfant, ce qui impliquait qu'ils arrivaient un an ou plus après sa naissance.

Leurs dons symbolisent l'identité et la mission du Christ: or pour un roi, encens pour un dieu et myrrhe, habitués des morts. Dieu a honoré ces sages en rêvant de rentrer chez eux par un autre chemin et de ne pas en rendre compte au roi Hérode!

** Loin de l'idée de douter de l'intention de Dieu pour la conception, la naissance, la vie et la mort de mon Seigneur Jésus-Christ, ce que je sais, c'est que lui, Dieu est capable de son intention, même de son intention pour vous et moi.

Il est maintenant temps d'arrêter toutes les productions hollywoodiennes qui ont créé une fausse histoire de la naissance de Jésus à des fins religieuses et monétaires.

Commencez à chercher la vérité absolue, la vérité évidente des évangiles! Priez pour que la vérité soit connue et si vous la recherchez, elle sera trouvée!

Amazing Grace - The expression of total acceptance

If you have not come to accept God's Grace, which is available to all humans - then you will miss the  expression of total human faith and acceptance of Almighty God's love to all.

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found; Was blind, but now I see. ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed. Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come; ’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. The Lord has promised good to me, His Word my hope secures; He will my Shield and Portion be, As long as life endures. Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease, I shall possess, within the veil, A life of joy and peace. The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, The sun forbear to shine; But God, who called me here below, Will be forever mine. When we’ve been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise Than when we’d first begun.

Advice on Candida treatments

Advice on Candida treatments
Vitamins and Candida

Michael Biamonte has a very interesting opinion about vitamins and candida. This is what he says on his Biamonte Center website.

"Certain vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and herbs can spread Candida. Some of these include the B-complex, vitamin D, CoQ-10, Calcium, Copper, and Iron.
 Other nutrients protect the Candida from the very medicines used to kill it.

 I recently wrote an entire article on how CoQ10 can spread Candida!
 I personal take CoQ10, but I don't have Candida!
 I would not recommend taking Coq10 until your Candida is gone!

Most antifungals work by creating “oxidative stress” against the membrane or outer skin of the Candida. This works by “burning” or “digesting” the outer layer of the Candida. Antioxidant vitamins in high doses will protect the Candida from treatment and most be avoided.

Many years ago I studied how many of the prescription drugs worked to kill Candida. I was surprised to learn that many of the drugs work by blocking the absorption of nutrients like Vitamin D or Iron into the Candida cell, so that Candida will not get that nutrient to nourish itself.

 The most common mistake in trying to regain energy in one who has Candidiasis is the use of many vitamins and minerals or other exotic supplements intended to boost energy while the Candida still exists in the body."

Whether Michael does present a good argument not to take vitamins and minerals while battling candida. Until recently I have been taking quite a lot of vitamins in order to support my body's immune system.

However recently I stopped taking all of them. By the fourth day I noticed significant improvements in several key candida symptoms, including rectal itching, which I think is a good indication of a reduction in bowel yeast numbers.

I am interested in others' experiences and thoughts on this. I know the conventional view is that one needs to support the body with vitamins, but sometimes the intuitive response is not the best approach. Is this such a situation?

Footnote:
Perhaps Zinc is an exception. If anything it inhibits yeast and it is important to repair leaky gut.

The last "Sacrificial Lamb"

** Jesus was The Last Sacrificial Lamb of God! **
Date:   12/20/2018

Dec 2018
From an FB post by Stan Snyder


I love the subject of Jesus birth, but it has so little to do with the actual present Christmas celebration. Why isn't Jesus birth important enough to be taught from a biblical, historical standpoint, instead of from the old religious, pagan celebrations that we continue to celebrate?

First, let's look at something that I find very interesting and compelling from the perspective of God and the fact that God is perfect in all that He does.
Almighty God, the Father of Jesus Christ is not a willy, nilly God without a plan, without a purpose, everything that He does has a plan as well as a purpose!

The birth of His Son, the last "Sacrificial Lamb", 
(please take note of this).
The Sacrificial lamb of God was by God's intent, and we must ask how and why a lamb for temple sacrifice was chosen?

If we look at where Jesus was born, in Bethlehem, then we must believe that God had chosen Bethlehem for His reason. 
Bethelem is also the ' City of David ' - from whom Jesus was a direct decedent! Historically, just 1000 paces outside of Bethlehem was a place mentioned twice in The Old Testament, Genesis 35:21 and Micha 4:18 KJB, Migdal Edar, aka The Tower of the flock! This was a place chosen for the breeding and birth of the lambs that would be sacrificed at the temple, a very special place where everything was just as God would have it. The shepherds were not ordinary shepherds but shepherds under a ban of Rabbinism because of their necessary isolation from religious ordinances and their manner of life which rendered strict legal observances. They were dedicated to their lives of service to God and to the task of keeping the flocks that were chosen by the temple priests safe and sound for sacrifice.

The tower of the flock is described as a two-story stone building, with the second floor where the shepherds could get a good view of the flocks and the surrounding land. The first floor was where the shepherds would take the newborn lambs to prepare them and keep them from blemish, they had to be unblemished.

This property lay just outside of Bethlehem on the road from Jerusalem to Bethlehem, it was known as the Old Hebron Rd.
The sacrificial lambs were taken at birth, inspected for any blemish and the unblemished were wrapped in a sterile linen material called swaddling. They were wrapped snugly so as to replicate the mother's womb and to keep them from injuring themselves and becoming blemished.

The area on the first floor of the tower was not a dirty stable filled with horses, camels, cows, or any other common farm animal, it was very clean for the purpose of birthing these special lambs. 
The last sacrificial lamb of God {Christ} was very probably born at the Tower of the Flock at the direction of God who was in control of Jesus conception by The Holy Spirit and His birth. Far be it for me to question God's intent for the conception, birth, life, and death of my Lord Jesus Christ, what I do know is that He, God is capable of His intent, even His intent for you and me.

Stop with the Hollywood productions which have created the false story of Jesus birth for a religious purpose, and start looking for the truth, the obvious truth!

Jesus was The Last Sacrificial Lamb of God!
