Is This A Real Vision Of Hell? A Picture Of Hades? Does The Book Of Revelation Support It? By: Roger Himes | - You will find this a very unusual vision of life after death - not in heaven, but in hell. It is a picture of hell - a picture of Hades. It's not like the Dante Hell - and the pictures of hell that he depicts. Where is hell? It doesn't answer this question - but then, in my mind, that's a moot point.
Greed Is Not Good A Plague By: James Murray | - Greed is not good and it is a plague that can be found in almost any culture or society on this earth, but can it be cured?
In the movie Wall Street there is a quote about Greed. "Greed, for lack of a better word is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge; it has marked the upward surge of mankind."
Honestly Deceived By: Denny Smith | - In 1 Kings 13:1-33 we read of a man of God, a prophet, who came from Judah to Bethel to prophecy against the altar there. Jeroboam, the king of Israel, was present at the altar. Jeroboam was the king who had made the two golden calves for the children of Israel to worship one of which resided at Bethel (1 Kings 12:25-33). On the altar there sacrifices were made to the golden calf that resided there. As the prophet arrived he found Jeroboam at the altar preparing to burn incense to his idol.< ...

Faith Based On Deception - Gen. 37:31-33 By: Denny Smith | - Gen. 37:31-33, "So they took Joseph's tunic, killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the tunic in the blood. Then they sent the tunic of many colors, and they brought it to their father and said, 'We have found this. Do you know whether it is your son's tunic or not?' And he recognized it and said, 'It is my son's tunic. A wild beast has devoured him. Without doubt Joseph is torn to pieces.'" (NKJV)
To keep you deceived! Self-deception is so horrible. It's thinking that you are right and when you are wrong! It's thinking that God is mad at you when He is not! It's thinking you are not forgiven by God when you are!
Here's the deal.
When you ask Jesus to come into your heart to be your Lord and Savior, you repent of your sins and ask Him to forgive you of them. To repent means to change your way of thin ... Tags:Christian, God, Satan, salvation

Are We Trapped In A Web Of Myths By: JOHN HARDY | - As you look around you, do you ever get the feeling that something is going on? Have you ever suspected that some gargantuan joke is being played, and that there are some people who are having a great laugh at our expense?
What if there was an artificial order imposed upon our random, chaotic existence? What if the architect of this order was not God, or Satan, for that matter? What if its creators were not Gods, or even Nietzschian supermen, but very ordinary human beings with a ...

Why Satan Doesn't Want You To Study The Bible By: Ray Subs | - I'm convinced one of Satan's most successful schemes against God's people is in blinding us to the importance and relevance of spending time studying the Scriptures. God's Word is invaluable. It is a far greater treasure than anything in this world has to offer yet many treat it as though it has no worth.
Instead of investing time studying the Bible, it is left unopened and gathering dust. Whether it is because of busyness, complacency, or just a lack of awareness, believers miss o ... Tags:Bible, study the Bible, Satan, God's Word

Why Is There Child Abuse And Incest By: Linda Dipman | - I was sitting at the dinner table with three of my grandchildren who ranged from age one to four. We were laughing and talking about the days events, when Samuel turned towards me and said, "I love you, grandma". His face shone with the brightest smile as if he had just come to a big revelation about how he was feeling in his heart. I smiled back at him and returned the words of love.
Why Does Cancer Kill By: Linda Dipman | - I was at Wal-Mart with my one and a half year old granddaughter and her two and a half year old brother. Without any warning my granddaughter started smiling and waving while saying hello to everyone we walked passed. No one seemed to notice her eager greetings, as if her little welcoming voice wasn't enough to pull them out of their busy schedule.
Was My Life Planned Before I Was Born By: Linda Dipman | - I was less than two years old when I walked right out of our Naval issued housing apartment and right into the deep end of the pool that was close to our home. My head plunged under the water and I gasped for air while pleading for help. I could see several people watching my desperate splashing and head bobbing. Within minutes I was pulled out and my mother was at my side to take me home.
I Know Who Started The Fire By: Linda Dipman | - The flames from the forest fire twirled creating a funnel that took the form of a fiery tornado that lashed out furiously hurdling huge balls of fire that ignited grasses, trees and every house that was in the mist of the fire. The intensity of the heat boiled the water right out of the luxury pools of the rich and the tiny streams that ran along the path of the forest fire. Everything left behind was destroyed by the gigantic forest fire.
Why The World Will Accept The Antichrist System By: Kenneth Uptegrove | - There have always been conspiracies and anti-Christ's, remembering that the word "anti-Christ" can mean "in place of," as well as "in opposition to." Satan is the mother of all anti-Christ conspiracies. Over the millennia he has spawned-or mothered-hundreds of counterfeit, conspiratorial religions and philosophical systems. He is a cunning tyrant whose whole existence is given over to hating, deceiving, and destroying us. The sole purpose of spawning these lies is to set in place his powerful ...

Britney Spears, Why Her Life Is Out Of Control By: Linda Dipman | - Britney Spears' life is spinning out of control! How could Britney Spears, whose music career began with a good girl image, fall hopelessly into a destructive path that made her an unfit parent? Is the temptation to live a fun filled life only granted when you are willing to do anything to please the crowd? Or is Britney's ability to know the difference between good and bad been clouded by drugs and alcohol?
Clouds Of Darkness By: Linda Dipman | - The sky filled with smoke blackening the horizon and darkening all the light of day, stopping all people from seeing the reality of their existence. It was like a computer virus, once let loose, it was given the power to infect all programs in the computers hard drive. It was a corrupting force perpetrating the consciousness of men and filling it with useless thinking that leads them to live their lives for themselves without thinking of anyone else.
How Does Satan Destroy Your Life By: Linda Dipman | - Quickly we ran stacking sand bag after sand bag around our house hoping and praying that we would detour the approaching flood! The rain once again began coming down in sheets of penetrating force meant to power its way through our temporary barrier. I smiled as the sand wall held, keeping the inside of our house dry, only to find out an instant later that our sump pump failed in the basement. My smile quickly faded and my eyes flooded with tears as I realized that our entire finished baseme ...

Living Life Moment By Moment By: Linda Dipman | - I watched as my four year old grandson and his two year old sister giggled while running in circles. The energy that swirled around them electrified their eagerness to see who could run the fastest and last the longest before they collided and fell to the floor in continued laughter. Immediately they would jump to their feet and begin the game all over again.

Satan's Got Your Number By: Linda Dipman | - Let's have fun, let's get drunk at a party! After a few drinks you are completely gone and so your so called 'friends' dare you to get a permanent tattoo that is perverted, X rated, and demeaning to women. You are the center of everyone's attention and it feel's great until you wake up in the morning sober and realize what you did!
What Have You Learned By: Linda Dipman | - The news arrived. The judge was giving full custody to my ex, I was given no visitation unless it was approved by my ex-husband. I sat in stunned silence. I would never see my children again. My mind began to race. The words quietly, but clearly exploded inside my head: RUN! I took my children and left the state. When I thought we were safe, we changed our names and set up house. Three weeks later, I found myself sitting in jail, while my children became wards of the SRS! I was in shock ...

A Marriage Built On Rock By: Linda Dipman | - A gigantic castle built high onto the cliffs was surrounded by a massive twenty foot thick rock wall on three sides and a heavy wood door reinforced with metal. The ocean protected its rear side with a shore line of jagged fearsome looking boulders that prevented all boats from accessing its shores. It was an impenetrable fortress protected with parapets attached to the walls for the thousands of armed forces that further guarded it from enemy attack.
I Love You Like The Moon By: Linda Dipman | - It was 2:00 am, but the light from the moon cast a glow that illuminated the darkness and allowed me to see into the night. I looked up into the sky and a voice within my being proclaimed, "I love you like the moon." I immediately smiled because I recognized the voice of the Spirit that often spoke directing me to listen and understand God's truth.
It was a voice of kindness that knew me completely. A Spirit that comforted me when my journey in this world was hard. A loving S ... Tags:Voices, spirit, satan, God, truth, knowledge, wisdom, understanding, good, evil, spirit world
Tyranny Terror And Moral Relativism - America's Shifting Battlefronts By: Rev Michael Bresciani | - Now America must fight terrorism with equal determination and skill as it once did against rising tyrannies. Unwittingly, America may be losing to an equally serious enemy right on her own home field. Pop culture, liberal trends and moral relativism are becoming the norm for millions each year and the trend may be out-pacing any and all previous threats to our future.
The Time Is Now By: Linda Dipman | - A luminous world appeared in perfect splendor. It was all a flutter with beautiful angels darting back and forth excitedly proclaiming the Greatness of God. Suddenly a Being more beautiful than all of the rest stood before the exuberate crowd dressed in clothes that shone like lightning.

Why Can't I Do It Myself By: Linda Dipman | - The lawn was filled with briers and thistles. It was like a web spreading out and capturing my once beautiful green grass. How could this have happened? I did everything right! I toiled and slaved in order to have the most perfect lawn and garden and now my labor resulted in overgrown weeds.
I immediately took action and fought against the weeds with the strongest weed killer on the market. Instead of killing the weeds, my lawn began to die. I read the label and did everyth ...

Salman Rushdie The Sensitive Prophet And Juma Gul By: Rev Michael Bresciani | - Between Danish cartoons and Rushdie's Satanic Verses that have raised the ire of Muslims worldwide and brought down calls for fatwa (Death of those who offend Muhammad), Islam looks like it has a very sensitive and easily offended prophet.
By contrast to Biblical prophets Muhammad seems to be the thinnest skinned prophet of all time. No comedy is intended but in answer to the question of how many Muslims does it take to protect a prophet the answer is obviously, all of them. ...

The Holy Spirit Is Crucial - Part One By: Linda Dipman | - Stormy clouds of darkness parted as a pure white dove descended from a vibrant ray of light with a small olive branch clasped in it's beak. One person and then another accepted the Holy Spirits message, but most shook their heads unable to believe in anything more than what they could humanly see.
I stood in shocked silence questioning why it was so hard for people to believe the simple message of faith in God. The Holy Spirit was my friend and I eagerly longed to hear it's comf ...

Should Christian People Mourn The Death Of A Man Who Promoted Hate By: Linda Dipman | - Newsmen hovered and ran to cover the newest breaking story. They were eager to proclaim the death of a powerful man of the Religious Right who had passed away from a massive heart attack. It was the media's duty to cover the story whether they liked this man or not. They interviewed as many high ranking officials they could find to eulogize the memory and power of a popular religious man of the world.
In this chapter we will consider the four perspectives in greater detail. We will look into the dying process and the nature of life in the higher planes, as seen through the eyes of Western and Eastern occultism. Analysis of the religious concepts anent death, dying and the after-death state will offer us a clearer picture of what is commonly believed by the average person. We will deal with religious concepts not from the perspective of any particular religion, but from ...

To know Man's Reality, his True Self, the seeker after Truth would first have to know the false self--or that which he calls "self"--for this false ego is the cloud, the veil that hinders true perception of that which is truly the SELF of Man, that which is called "I AM." Before the Master Jesus began his ministry, he engaged upon a period of introspection, fasting, meditation, and prayer upon a "mountain top" where he was te ...

Not Giving The Devil His Due By: Gary Kurz | - In one of my Bible classes many years ago, the students were given an examination that was comprised of several multiple choice and essay questions. One of the essay questions required students to write everything they knew about the Holy Spirit. The other question made the same requirement for everything known about Satan.
Most of the class completed the test with time to spare, but one moderately retarded young man who was only auditing the class was obviously struggling to c ... Tags:Devil, Satan, separation

On the same day, he was informed that the fire of God had burned up his sheep. Worst of all, the news came that a great wind came ...
