  1. Paul says he gives(baby'?) milk to the Corinthians in 1 Cor. 3:2 because they can't handle meaty food.{ Or refuse to, I feel he is possibly relaying?] As you say dear Who Me, " lackadaisical" in private study of the Word. 1 Cor. 3:2: I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; I blame myself more for- compared to when I began this thread- for the church-goers leaving Christ; because the Holy Spirit has pointed this out to me quite starkly. Miraculously all your replies, my dear Worthy bros and sisters and prayers, have enabled me to : change my lukewarm attitude towards the Gospel and edifying Christian youth/adults. Being lukewarm, a church elder pointed out to me, is the one of greatest sins a born again Christian can commit. It helps destroy the Church-it does! As Jesus says to us His beloved children, He is going to spit some out of his mouth in Revelation 3:16 because the church of Laodicea was lukewarm even though they were materially rich. This is us -the West- the Christians in the third world are sacrificing their lives . 8000 a year; over 1 million since 2005 according to Fox News and the Centre for the Study of Global Christianity in Massachusetts. And I cannot be on super hot fire for the greatest Lord Jesus? Many Christian teens in Iraq volunteered to be beheaded for Jesus-one was documented to be sawn into 2 pieces! I thought I was doing quite a bit for the Lord- but I was still lukewarm. The Elder pointed this out by the Spirit. Here below are some higher Resolution photos I ordered from the www.windowintothebible.com, a few weeks ago. They are free to use in youth group/Sunday Schools, Churches lobby's , etc. The renowned Austin Henry Layard - even atheistic Wikipedia agrees!- says the Lachish relief is an actual picture of the Word. Romans 10:17 says faith comes from hearing the Word! So Christ has given us an actual proven and undisputed" stone video/documentary" from the time of the Prophet Isaiah! I am begging Christians peeking from the web to use this free photos to print out and share, if you are led by the Spirit of Christ to do so! We win! We can prove the book of Isaiah , and Matthew's Gospel by this! If one is not amazed/shocked by this, then he has not understood how "doubt-destroying" these photos are. The New Zealand family went to the UK to photograph it. They did the hard work. Thank you so truly much Who Me for your reply- and all my dear Worthy bros/sisters !!! I really, really appreciate you all taking the time and reading and replying to my ramblings! Happy Thanksgiving. You all really inspired me to go thermonuclear. We all need encouragement-especially Lukewarm rontiger- but lukewarm no longer(since about November 1 actually, I better keep it up after all that I posted here, so pray for me- but it's literally killing my dearest mommy with worry.) The new higher resolution Lachish relief photo I got from www.windowintothebible.com is too big a file -it is about 3 MB- so I cannot show it here but you can go to the site and ask for a higher res photos. Ross will send it to you but might take 2 months actually.( the low res photo you see on their website and which I'm going to link below below isn't great but will do possibly be ok for a 10" by 8" page.) Alamy photos sell super high definition photos of the Lachish relief which you can enlarge to 8 feet by 8 feet. Put it in your churches lobby or your homeschooling place. Why not? Prove the Word- it is easy as 1, 2. 3. No one's doing it it in our churches-you will be rewarded by better communities here and also with eternal rewards. Do you really want to be the rif-raf in heaven ?I very humbly and softly ask the nonmembers who are peering in from the wwweb.The lowest of Christ's children? Heaven is not a socialist place. Dear people peeking in from the worldwide web. I'm begging you to share this with your church! 1500 plus evangelical churches closed in 2019 - a net loss for the 1st time.(see the Lifeway research link below). Please Help-do your part if you can.

And we can prove Isaiah now! Let us conquer using the Word! But we aren't! I just cannot believe how I let the Church-goers- youth and adults de-convert. We have the proof in the Word! A photo(s) of the Word yet no one-especially I- showed this to the churches. Let me explain: you have to deliberately print or enlarge these photos and actually present it to 5 to 35 year old church-goers or they leave! Lifeway research: Protestant Church Closures Outpace Openings in U.S. - Lifeway Research The Siege of Lachish - Window into the Bible Thanks again for bearing to listen with my ramblings! Thank you so truly much again for your replies and considering if you can-especially you all nonmembers peeking in from the web- on sharing!
  2. Nice topic SavedByGrace. I think biblically, our worship must be only towards the Almighty; that is why the Apostles worshipped Jesus, after he walked on water and saved Peter who was sinking in the sea- Matthew 14:31-33. Praise though, may be to almost anyone. -The difference between the two is more clear when one sees the somewhat wide-scope of the worship of God in the NT. Considering worship, Dr. Michael Morrison- an evangelical prof from GCS - explains that we must worship God in spirit and truth as Jesus said in the Gospel of John 4 :22-24. In Matthew 15:8, Jesus criticized the Pharisees, by quoting Isaiah, saying that they worshipped God in vain by merely honoring God with their lips but their hearts were far from God. Morrison says that our lives will show whether we really worship God- or is it all just in vain? In the Bible there are 3 types of worship: 1.worship that involves speaking 2.worship that involves listening 3.worship that involves doing Morrison says that there are several Koine Greek words in the New Testament for "worship". [He first explains that the word "worship" comes from 2 Old English words: 1) weorth which meant worth 2)scipe/ship which meant shape or quality] In Romans 12:1 Paul tells us to give our bodies as living sacrifices to God as spiritual worship. Morrison says because the born again believer is the temple of God, all of our entire self and life is an act of submission and worship. Paul in Romans 1:9 and 15:16 equates worship to preaching the gospel. In Phillippians 4:18 and 2 Corinthians 9:12 we are told that giving financial help to Christians is the worship of God. And in Hebrews 13:15-16 Christians are told to do two types of worship of God by uttering praises with our lips; and sharing and doing good to others. Every one of our acts of obedience is the worship of God. ------------------------------ For the nonmembers peering in from the web: (These amazing photos from windowintothebible about genune objects which prove the Bible including Matthew 1:10(we can be now certain that the Gospels are true) from over 700 years before Jesus, from the time of Christ's ancestor Hezekiah and the great prophet Isaiah. They are available in a higher resolution if you ask them. Normally photos like theirs would cost probably hundreds of dollars, not to mention copyright costs if someone puts it in in a pamphlet or other Youth/church ministry educational resource. I am truly blessed to be working with 2 evangelical churches from 2 different denominations to implement these proofs of our beloved Bible in teaching venues at the churches. One of the pastors was so shocked that we had this great a simple photographic proof of the Word, that he asked for evangelical scholarly attestation for the photos authenticity so I gave him a link and title: Dr. Alan Millard book: " Discoveries From Bible Times" (A R Millard is truly world-renowned at his craft.) http:// https://www.google.nl/books/edition/Discoveries_from_Bible_Times/Hu9jQ0zptp8C?hl=en&gbpv=0 1500 evangelical churches in America closed in 2019-the first time such a large net loss of churches, according to Lifeway Research. We have to -every Christian has to role up their sleeves- at a grassroots level, meaning in our homes, churches, Sunday Schools, adult Bible studies and show our fellow Christians that the Bible really is true very simply. A little effort will greatly help the Body of Christ! Our forbears died by torture to protect the Bible and Christian civilization. So many are retired and have so much time, so please , I'm begging everyone peering in from the Web(not directed at you SavedByGrace or Worthy members) to find one of these retired Christians who have the time and love for Christ and at the very least get their own, or a local church to teach a bit of what Professor Alan Millard has shown us through the Spirit of Christ using the free photos from "windowintothebible" (in the link below.) [The simple Christian New Zealand family's photos will not be up on the web forever-so download them soon. Their small Bible museum closed a few years ago.] https://www.worthychristianforums.com/topic/290431-pauls-arguers-proven-pic-of-2000-yrs-ago-from-acts-26-do-you-think-you-can-convince-me-to-become-a-christian-in-such-a-short-timenkjv-footnote-60-to-9o-of-us-christian-youth-left-the-faith-kirk-cameron-josh-mcdowell-british-are-druids-today-why/ May God bless you all.
  3. Thank you for your reply Biblewords! Your frank comment that even church-going adults are leaving Christianity made think of Jesus's words in Mark 4: 16-17: "And these are the ones sown on rocky ground: the ones who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy. And they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately they fall away. I remember that some years I was talking to my mom's cable guy about his faith. He told me he was an unbeliever even though he had gone to Christian schools as a youth and did once believe in our Lord Jesus. I didn't know what to say but I showed him the photos of the Lachish relief from windowintothebible and some other stuff from their site. He genuinely was absolutely shocked to learn that there exists actual proven evidence for the Bible. He told me he will certainly consider becoming a Christian again. So I am certain we can prove the Bible to Christians. Christians are demanding we do this as studies show; and Christ has given us all the tools to do the job. And so through Christ's Word and his Spirit, we can counter successfully all the problems you importantly informed us of; and keep all Christians in Christ and in Church! We just have to very diligent as Proverbs tells us. We have to roll up our sleeves, and implement simply teaching and showing that Bible is really true. VBS is a great opportunity but it has to be done in Sunday School and youth ministry too. A special thanks for your faithful pastoral work -an increasingly hard job in our present times. May God bless you and your church! And thank you all for spending your precious time reading my 2 cents! God bless you all and Worthy Ministries.
  4. Hi my friend! It's great to hear from you again. I'm glad you found a church where they love one another! I always tell my friends that there should be a big plaque in every church with Jesus's New Commandment , John 12:34 inscribed on it "Love one another as I have loved you." I read a scholar say this this is about an even deeper love than :love your neighbor as yourself. It's a sacrificial love that we usually limit to our immediate family. Churches have to teach this all-important commandment by making it super obvious - and reinforce it- hence the plaque. People will choose to show greater, substantial love when they really believe that the Bible is true and that the church leaders expect it. The greater the faith in Christ, the greater the love for our fellow church members. Thanks for the reply-always love hearing from you dear brother! May God bless you and yours!
  5. A pastor, on faith in today's evangelical Church, told me that we must love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. "We must dig Ron, deeper in the Information Age." Luke 19:40-But He answered and said to them, “I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.” Everyone knows Romans 10:17-"So then faith comes by hearing and by hearing the Word of God." Teaching about the Noah and the Ark in our Sunday Schools and Christian homes is not enough today. The full power of Romans 10:17 can be utilized by showing how the amazing Word of God is "really true" such as Isaiah 36:1-2.The Siege of Lachish - Window into the Bible I've used it with Christian youth-it works. Again, if there are Sunday School teachers , youth pastors or parents peeking in from the web, please at least pray about it and use these free resources. The windowintothebible photos are free to use which is almost a miracle. An 8 year-old church-going daughter of an uncle's friend, told her parents she doesn't believe in the "silly stories" of the Bible. Christian kids are pondering things- many just won't say what they really feel and believe until they leave the Christian faith. But thanks to Jesus Christ, who wants all our kids and youth to have great faith in him, we -miraculously- have simple pictorial proof of the Bible. He has given us all the tools to keep the Christian youth in Christ. So I'm praying that I-and hopefully others- roll up our sleeves and do it . It is not rocket science and it is too late. Thanks so much for your frank reply DeighAnn! I super appreciate it sister- may God bless you and all who are reading this.
  6. A Mom of a church-going Texan high schooler asked me how to show her daughter the Bible was really true, after she came home crying because her classmates told her the Bible was all myths. I was on the spot so I showed her the photos of the Lachish relief, which even atheistic Wikipedia says is a true picture of Isaiah 36:1-2. The Siege of Lachish - Window into the Bible I also showed them the famous Taylor Prism-also on windowinto..- which proves Matthew 1:10. I think she has a lot more confidence that the Bible is really true and she will able to defend her reason for believing, to others and most importantly to her own self. She will never leave Jesus like 75 % of evangelical youth are according to the Barna research from sis Tinky's 2014 Worthy thread. But most Christian parents just do not know how to educate their children in proving-simply- the veracity of God's Word. I'm not sure if parents are supposed to be mini- apologists even though Peter says to give a reason for one's faith. But I'm starting to think American Christian parents might have to! FJK, you may be right that a few may be ignoring what the Bible says on rearing faithful kids. Being a Christian parent is by far the most demanding-and rewarding- job in our post-modern world I've been told. But may be it's more confusion on how to, like the wonderful Christian mom who reached out to me. So others in the Body of Christ can get them what they- and Sunday school teachers - need to keep the church-going youth in Christ for their entire lives. I don't know exactly how to resolve this urgent problem but I'm praying and have asked others to also. Because the Lord Jesus will certainly tell us how to fix it! But will I-we-listen? Thank you FJK for your valuable input! I appreciate it.
  7. Your insights are valuable; they are making me dig back in the "Worthy time machine"- into why the huge exodus of church-going Christian youth in America is occurrring! You say it's "multifaceted" in causation- you are right; but there is one major reason possibly I'm learning. I just now remembered - because of you AnOrangeCat-Worthy Forum sister Tinky in 2014 bringing to my attention in a topic that a slim majority of Americans didn't think that the Bible is God's Word. But what dropped my jaw was a reply that stated : The following statistics come Dr. Paul Elliot, the Barna Research Group, Bible Literacy Center, and Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion: 37% of adults in Evangelical churches do not believe the Bible is totally accurate 45% of Evangelicals do not believe Jesus Christ was sinless 52% of Evangelicals do not believe Satan is real 57% of Evangelicals do not believe that Jesus is the only way to eternal life 57% of Evangelicals believe that good works play a part in gaining eternal life Less than 10% of adults in Evangelical churches cite the Bible as the primary basis of their worldview and behavior. 19% of those who are living with a partner outside of marriage are members of Evangelical churches. Over 50% of adults in Evangelical churches think other religions are valid. Nearly 75% of Evangelical young people leave the church when they reach adulthood. Their main stated reason is that they no longer believe the Bible is true, and the church has done little or nothing to answer their doubts. The fastest growing "religious group" in America is the "no religion" category. Today it represents 16% of the adult population - a 300% increase since the 1980s. The major growth of the "no religion" segment is among young adults ages 18 to 29 - the ones who are leaving churches in droves. Despite the mega-church movement, overall Evangelical church attendance is down nearly 15% since the 1990s. Fewer than 17% of Evangelical churches are growing today, and only 2.2% are growing through conversions. If a Sunday school teacher-or any other Christian- when I was 9 years old had take 5 minutes and showed me just simply the photos of the Lachish relief and/or the Taylor Prism, and simply told me they absolutely proved that King Hezekiah and Isaiah 36 -37 were proven objectively true and real, then I would not have left the Protestant evangelical church and I would not have completely abandoned Jesus Christ -to the point where I went to a Christian youth conference and told all the youth to not believe in Jesus as once I so passionately believed in as a very young teenager, but then left Christ because I did not believe the Bible was true anymore. My Sunday school teachers taught me about Noah and the ark and every other main Bible story like King David and Goliath. Yes that's needed. And at the very least , someone should have told me and my fellow Sunday school kids that a lady archaeologist discovered pretty good evidence that King David was a real historical person. But no one did and all the Christian youth of America are leaving their faith just like the youth of the UK- where ironically the Lachish relief and the Taylor Prism reside in the famous British Museum. Jesus loves his Church so much that he has given objective proof that the Bible is true. Romans 10:17-Faith comes by hearing, and hearing the Word of God.(NKJV footnote"Word of Christ.") My dearest fellow Christians and Sunday school teachers who are peeking in from the web, if I may very humbly in love ask you to please pray on how to permanently perfect the faith of our Christian youth , and if then you think it may help, at least consider using the free, amazing windowintothebible photos of a Kiwi Christian family. -Thanks so much dear sister AnOrangeCat.- You were truly instrumental to me rediscovering the main reason Christian youth are leaving their faith in Jesus behind. The Spirit of Christ is truly guiding Worthy Forum. Thank you all for your replies and dear sister Selah7 for your too generous but appreciated like!
  8. Below is the link to the unbelievable yet scientifically proven image of King Agrippa II, whose words are in Acts 25 and 26 as he converses about Apostle Paul with Roman Governor Festus; and to Paul, who is a prisoner in chains. Christians are not equal in heaven according to Jesus. Some will be the least; and Jesus says in Revelation that he will give some Christians the right to sit on his throne. But I am certain we are saved by simply believing in Jesus Christ and his Gospel. Praise Lord Jesus! And those Christians who work shall earn rewards that are unimaginably amazing. It's fun to work for Jesus! Just as a baby is perfectly happy, so will be the Christians who are least in heaven; they won't know about the amazing eternal rewards that they are missing out on.(I'm concerned I'm close to being the "least" with the time I have wasted doing almost nothing for our Lord Jesus. Please pray I get off my butt. But I do not want my friends the Christian youth in Christ who are peeking in on Worthy from across the wwweb to end up like me; but I'm still young and hopefully I will shape up. I'm writing this mainly for the youth so it might sound a bit preachy- I apologize ahead of time. Thank you for understanding. I was called a "fundamentalist " by a lady yesterday offline. I guess I get under some people's skin a bit.( The funny thing is that I wasn't even talking to her. ) -Why are most of the church-going Christian youth in America leaving Christianity? There aren't any Christian youth in my aunt's mom's country England. My aunt's an atheist- but the ironic thing is she is related to the famous Christian William Tyndale. Her son, my first cousin told me(he's 17) " I'm not going to believe in silly stories like Noah's ark and Jonah and the whale. No way!" But the interesting thing is he did not tell me that he would not ever believe in Jesus. That conversation with my agnostic cousin taught me a lot. I have a friend in England who told me 6 months ago that: "Everyone is a druid here." -Why has the UK -the once great bastion of Western Christianity-become pretty much non-Christian? Are all English-speaking Western nations in the same boat-or heading that way? Europe? Thanks for your replies ! If you think it's a good idea, can you share the link of the Agrippa II image with Sunday school teachers, Christian youth, Christian friends, etc. Thank you so much.(I'm not affiliated with their website.) Even reaching and edifying a single Christian is super valuable . I kept a youth in the Bible Belt and my mom's cable guy, in Christ by using undisputed scientific biblical archaeology. It works. Evangelist Josh Mcdowell wrote that Christians have less faith than other religionists. Let's change that. Jesus Christ and our Christian forebears sacrificed so much to build up the Christian Church and Christian civilization. We are allowing it all to be flushed down the gutter-like they did in England. Thanks for spending your time reading my 2 cents. I really appreciate it. Agrippa II: An Archaeological Biography – Bible Archaeology Report " Tell me and I forget, show me and I remember, involve me and I understand. " - Benjamin Franklin " So then faith comes by hearing, and by hearing the Word of God." - Romans 10:17 The Siege of Lachish - Window into the Bible- from Nineveh, an actual pic of Isaiah 36:1-2 (free to use photos) Hezekiah and the Siege of Jerusalem - Window into the Bible- proves Matthew 1:10 and Isaiah 36-37 Nearly 75% of Evangelical young people leave the church when they reach adulthood. Their main stated reason is that they no longer believe the Bible is true, and the church has done little or nothing to answer their doubts. - Barna Research Proving the Bible very simply to Sunday School children by photographic/pictorial is desperately needed and works. It has worked with a Christian church-going high schooler who was distraught and in tears, when her Texas classmates told her the Bible is all myth. A relative of mine who was a Baptist pastor(he died) said to me " Ron, we need your help in this modern age." The pastors are busy. It's up to rest of the Body of Christ to share these absolutely miraculous, yet undisputedly proven "proofs" that the Bible is "really is true" as our church-going youth are demanding. Even sharing something-if you have the time- with just 1 Sunday School teacher, as I did today, will be incredibly significant in keeping the church-going youth in Christ forever. It is not rocket science. It is simply, as a another evangelical pastor I spoke with on this topic, following Jesus's first commandment to love God with all our strength, heart, soul and mind. And applying Romans 10:17 in a modern, yet biblical manner.
  9. Thanks for your reply; I appreciate it Tim! Here is a link to a photo of the actual wall the people of Jerusalem sat on in Isaiah 36:12 to hear the demands of the general of the superpower of the world of that age, Assyria. https://www.windowintothebible.com/hezekiah-and-jerusalem
  10. This short article is based partly on the work of Dr. Alan Millard, the renowned Professor of Hebrew and Ancient Semitic languages of the University of Liverpool. Jesus said love your God with all your heart , mind, soul and strength. Below is a proven picture of the event of the Old Testament's book of Isaiah 36 verses 1 and 2 from over 2700 years ago. The event is the capture of the southern Kingdom of Judah's second biggest city Lachish by the most powerful country in the whole world back in the time of the great Prophet Isaiah. That country was the superpower Assyria. The Lachish relief is the actual 80 feet long stone picture of Isaiah 36: 1 and 2! The British found it in King Sennacherib's famous Southwest Palace in the ancient ruins of the real biblical city of Nineveh.(Today the ruins of Nineveh is in the nation of Iraq, near Mosul.) We can prove the Bible is really true very simply! It will strengthen every Christian's faith in Jesus because the book of Isaiah is the book the Jesus quoted from 3rd most and the one he read from in Nazareth! As you know, the book of Isaiah in chapter 9 and 52 and 53 speaks about the Messiah/Christ (Jesus) the Savior and God being born and suffering to die for us! Jesus is God Almighty and he loves us so much he has given us absolute simple pictorial/photographic proof that Bible really is true. Romans 10:17." Faith comes from hearing the Word of God/message of Christ." Or studying/seeing the Word. We can through archaeology, which is the study of old and ancient things and people, prove many things in the Bible. Here below is the proof that the miracle in Isaiah 37 verse 36,and also that both whole chapters of Isaiah 36 and 37, actually happened. The time period of these 2 chapters are 701 B.C. which is 700 years before Jesus came to earth! So since we can prove (right below) a miracle, and also people and things way back in the time of the great Prophet Isaiah and his friend King Hezekiah . then we can for sure trust the whole Bible! Hezekiah was an ancestor of Jesus it says at the very beginning of the New Testament in Matthew 1:10- so this is important biblical knowledge. Isaiah 37 verse 36: The Proven Miracle - In John 14:11 Jesus said: "... believe by the miraculous deeds themselves." NET Bible version This is the simple proof of the miracle of the angel of the Lord stopping the most powerful army in the world in the time of the Prophet Isaiah, which belonged to the most powerful country in the world back in Isaiah's time: the nation of Assyria. Jerusalem was a small town with only 25 000 people in King Hezekiah's and Isaiah's time, with a lot of old people, children, and babies, Jerusalem had very few soldiers also. Jerusalem only had about 8000 men of fighting age. They had primitive weapons compared to Assyria, which was the most advanced army in the world at that time. Assyria had iron weapons that were 400 years ahead of even Greece and Rome! But when the army of most powerful country in the whole world during the Prophet Isaiah's age, Assyria, surrounded Jerusalem (the Prophet Isaiah lived in Jerusalem) with over 180 000 soldiers with the most powerful weapons in the world, they, the Assyrians, still could not capture King Hezekiah or destroy Jerusalem. This is like the most powerful country in the world today, the United States of America, not being able to capture and destroy the tiny,tiny island nation of Iceland (near Greenland.) That would be impossible. ( Iceland is a friend of America; I'm just using it as an example of the strongest army not being able to defeat one of the weakest nations today- or a small city like Jerusalem in 700 B.C. [Please note that the mightiest nation on earth, Assyria, destroyed all of the northern nation of Israel several years before coming and destroying the southern nation of Judah-see Isaiah 36:1-2; except for tiny Jerusalem of course.] -But how can we really know that the most powerful army in the world at that time-Assyria's- could not destroy or capture tiny Jerusalem after they surrounded and encircled it ? -We can know by faith by reading about Jerusalem being protected by the angel of the Lord in Isaiah 37. AND we can know by the proven authentic artifacts that the British discovered at the proven site of ancient Nineveh in Iraq. ***Here are photos of 2 genuine stone artifacts discovered at the proven site of ancient Nineveh from the time of the Prophet Isaiah. They are called the: 1)Lachish relief 2) Taylor Prism -(way below) The Taylor Prism is one of the greatest discoveries in human history! These 2 ancient stone artifacts are in the famous British Museum in London,UK; so you can really trust that they are real and from the time of the Prophet Isaiah and King Hezekiah. (1) Lachish relief- this like an " ancient stone video" of Isaiah 36:1 and 2. Below is a tiny part of the Lachish relief from the website of www.windowintothebible.com .

This way this email will continue reaching Christians after each Christian passes it on after receiving it. Your rewards, brothers and sisters, in heaven will be great and for eternity, for strengthening your fellow Christian's faith! Remember, Jesus asked,"Will anyone have faith when I return?" So please help edify the Church if you can- thank you. Several years ago a Christian mom from Texas told me that her sixteen year old daughter came home terribly crying because her classmates told her that the Bible was "all myth". Remember that happened in the Bible Belt! I showed her the Lachish relief and the Taylor Prism (these scientifically proven artifacts prove the Bible is factually true) from windowintothebible.com . They were grateful. I was humbled. I very humbly say-for the glory of Christ- that I spoke with a Massachusetts Protestant pastor who said sharing these undisputedly proven biblical artifacts is a vital thing for the Christian Church's edification. ( A New Zealand family went to the British Museum in London, UK, and Chicago, to photograph these artifacts from 700 BC .) Evangelists/apologists Josh Mcdowell and Kirk Cameron have said that between 60 to 90 percent of Christians under the age of 30 are possibly leaving the faith. Yours in Christ, (Thanks for your replies.) Ron ,
  11. https://www.windowintothebible.com/ See the actual undisputed , scientifically proven picture of Isaiah 36:1. All scholars (and even Wikipedia: Lachish Relief) affirm it is genuine-discovered near Mosul , Iraq , at the proven site of ancient Nineveh in the fully preserved palace of Sennacherib. Please click Artifacts> OTwarfare.> Lachish(also see the actual Wall of Jerusalem that Isaiah and the people of Jerusalem sat on in Isaiah 36-37 in the Jerusalem/Hezekiah section of the above website. please share the above website run by a small family in New Zeal. Window Into The Bible | Windowintothebible A 16 year-old Texas Christian came home home crying because all her schoolmates told her the Bible is myth. I told her and her mom about the "windowintothebible.." site and they thanked me so much. I asked her why her youth pastor wasn't teaching proven biblical events and people. She couldn't say. I do not live in Texas btw. I have even used this to bring my ex-Christian cable guy back to Christ. It works so please share with fellow Christians. The NZ family has done the hard work traveling the world to photograph the artifacts. Your rewards will be great in heaven ; never has it been easier to keep Christians from leaving the faith. A Kirk Cameron TBN podcast said 60 to 80 percent of Christian youth are leaving the faith.- And we have a scientifically proven miracle they do Not know about! So please share if you can and protect Christian civilization! It can be historically proven that Westerners are alive today only because of Christian Church bellfounders who invented the bronze cannon, which kept Europe from being destroyed by the superpower of the 1400s/15th century -the Muslim Ottoman Empire, hundreds of years ago. Let us repay the favor they did for us ! -only because of Jesus of course!
  12. JTC, I watched AD The Bible... 3 or 4 years ago on NBC. I remember the part when Jesus appeared to Saul(paul) on his way to Damascus because I was surprised when Saul tried to full tackle Jesus to the ground! Jesus struck Saul blind in defense. "Oh," I remember thinking, "that's why Christ struck him blind." It did liven up things for sure; but I suspected it probably wasn't an accurate portrayal of Acts because I had already lost total respect for the series' historical accuracy after the Roman Emperor Tiberius visited Pontius Pilate in Jerusalem-which he never actually did. Entertaining certainly but sometimes historically false; sad because "AD..." could have been both historically true and moving. It could of been an amazing opportunity to spread the Gospel on prime time and on network TV. However I think I did hear that some episodes had good ratings so maybe it inspired some to read the Bible and search for the Truth. Maybe some were channel-surfing and saw it. After all not everyone is going to go out and catch The Passion of the Christ. It did have some really well-acted touching scenes I agree, for which reason I watched most of the series.
  13. Peter Harrison in his book "The Fall of Man and the Foundations of Science" explains how it was the serious consideration of the ideas of Adam's & Eve's sin and losing their ability to "see" the great knowledge they originally possessed, that led one of the founders of the scientific method, Francis Bacon, and other devout Christians to establish science.
  14. 50 Italian docs are now dead according to Newsweek. I know you are praying for all our heroic healthcare workers, cops( a NY cop died of coronavirus(10 % of NYPD quarantined with possible COVID-19) truckers, farm workers and pastors and presidents. I'd like to softly say with love that Our Father is Almighty God, the Son Jesus is Almighty God, and our dear Holy Spirit is Almighty God. -There are more than a hundred verses in the Bible that say Our Glorious Lord Jesus is Almighty God such as when Thomas clearly worships Jesus in John 20:28 and calls Jesus "My Lord and my God." In Acts 7:59 Stephen absolutely prays to Jesus and then Jesus stands up from his Godly throne to acknowledge his prayer and martyrdom.
  15. The top US coronavirus scientist said you can get the coronavirus infection by breathing virus-laden air(but he thinks it's not the main way one gets it. But maybe in a month they'll say airborne spreading is the main way) So I think that it has to be an absolute ultra-priority to get your NHS people to work by taxi as you said. Have they warned your country that Covid-19 can be acquired by air? The NIH's chief of infectious diseases Dr.Tony Fauci's admission 10 hours ago, was the first time I heard a definite answer about airborne transmission. Praise the Lord Jesus forever!
  16. Lock down in London??? I saw on my news 36 hrs ago that the London subway was jam-packed with people. Have things changed?
  17. The Lord put it on my heart to get back in touch with an acquaintance over in Phoenix that I had only spoken to once in the last 10 years. I told the Lord that I wasn't sure that I should tell Tom the message that he wanted me to give him; so I told Christ Jesus that he must give me a sign that the message was appropriate. When I called him, Tom answered " Hi John...." I immediately said, "This is Ron. Do you remember me?" Tom replied, laughing," I thought you were my buddy John." You see when I reluctantly called Tom, there was no ringing sound; Tom was on the line the instant I dialed the last digit of his number. What had happened was that Tom actually had tried to call his best friend John at the same time I had called him. Something like this has happened to almost everyone no doubt. However Tom's just an acquaintance that I haven't dialed up to for a very long time; so it was far less likely to have occurred with him than with someone I call more often. I got my sign and did my tiny good deed. Extraordinary times for sure: I just saw Franklin Graham on a CNN commercial asking the viewers to accept Christ. I'm asking myself is this for real ? Then he proceeds to ask the viewer to join him in reciting the Sinner's prayer. Christian proselytizing allowed on CNN.Wow.
  18. Yup ,it seem that docs need help. I know you're praying for them. Everyone has by now heard about Saturday's White House news conference where President Trump announced -and later tweeted-that the drug combo azithromycin and hydroxychloroquine would be a game changer in treating COVID-19. He's possibly right according to a French study I heard on Fox News.(There are side-effects but in a life or death situation the risk is worth it) The good news is that these are existing drugs that are used to treat many diseases. The bad news is hydroxychloroquine is in short supply and the FDA is being really stupid - even criminal- by not moving much faster to approve these drugs for coronavirus treatment. Only once the FDA approves these drugs will then drug companies greatly increase production. The entire internet has known for months that hydroxychloroquine(alone) is somewhat effective for treating COVID 19. Over 550 Americans are dead and the FDA wants to "study" a decades old, proven (relatively) safe drug.(Don't take it unless told by a doctor because it sometimes causes an irregular heartbeat.)Trump is putting pressure on the FDA but Americans need to take action themselves by writing their congressman/senator. Same for Canadians, Irish, Australians,Britons, Mexicans etc. I saw an AIDS activist say on the news recently that we are not going to get the drugs needed for the coronavirus until many tens of thousands die; so he said we must advocate and fight tooth and nail like the AIDS activists did for their drugs. They succeeded. We can too. At the very least we should write to our representatives about the above treatment and Remdesivir, which the WHO said on Feb. 26 is our best hope(we can tell our friends to write too.) Gilead Sciences has unbelievably stopped giving out remdesivir under the Compassionate use program. This drug saved 14 gravely ill Americans with COVID-19 on a cruise ship and probably many others. We must write our congressman and demand to have this incredible drug which was developed with US taxpayer money, to be massively produced under government direction and made available to all who need it .https://www.cbsnews.com/news/gilead-sciences-coronavirus-drug-remdesivir-overwhelming-demand/ Please, fellow Christians, do not underestimate your power to change the course of this pandemic and save the lives of your loved ones. https://www.foxnews.com/science/french-researchers-publish-antimalarial-and-antibiotics-combination-that-could-shorten-covid-19 Praise the Lord Jesus forever.
  19. I think being concerned about the coronavirus and taking precautions such as washing our hands and whatever else one thinks needs to be done is just being practically wise not fearful. After all in Leviticus 13 God himself tells the Israelites to quarantine sick people and tells the sick to warn others they are ill.(Even scientists admit that was the invention of quarantine- nobody had a clue about germ theory until thousands of years later as you know.) God was telling them to be concerned and take action. He wasn't telling them to panic or not rely on him. God protected those Israelites by giving them knowledge that no one else on earth had or even could have in those primitive times. God will certainly always act on a believer's case but he can do it in many ways; such a inspiring medical researchers to make drugs or causing the coronavirus to be supernaturally stopped from hurting a believer. Pray both that Christ will protect us from the coronavirus and that he will give us an effective antiviral.
  20. Hi Eileen. I absolutely respect your right to choose the treatment you feel is best for you. However don't you think the fact that medical scientists think homeopathy is not effective should cause one to avoid it? Anyways thanks for the reply!
  21. (Scientific American link below) The antiviral Remdesivir possibly cured the original US COVID-19 patient, a 35 year old man from Washington State. University of Nebraska and other clinical trials are being done with results due this April. Remdesivir was co-developed several years ago by Gilead Sciences and US Army researchers as a (failed) treatment for Ebola. {*(This paragraph contains disproven and very dangerous info.) I also heard that some US doctors are treating COVID-19 patients with hydroxychloroquine. French researchers said that a combo of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin was effective at reducing the amount of the COVID-19 coronavirus greatly in patients. Michigan's Henry Ford Hospitals use the trio of hydroxychloroquine, doxycycline and azithromycin to reduce the side effects on the heart, while a New York doctor uses the combo of hydroxychloroquine and doxycycline for coronavirus patients with severe heart problems and other co-morbidities. [ Hydroxychloroquine treats lupus and doctors have tenatively found that most lupus patients do not get COVID-19;but do not use hydroxychloroquine without doctor's advice. The combo of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin can cause irregular heartbeats!]} EDIT: (JUNE 25/20): *The above paragraph enclosed in red parenthesis contains information that has been scientifically proven by many peer-reviewd studies to be false and DEADLY! Even the now famous New York doctor who has been hydroxychloroquine's strongest advocate (basing his views on the now disgraced and debunked French doctor Didier Raoult), has admitted on video that "1 in 500 " people will die from cardiac arrest by taking hydroxychloroquine, even as a preventative measure. Peer-reviewed medical studies in the past couple of months have shown that coronavirus patients given HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE ALONE died at 2 and a half times the rate as those not given it. Patients given the combo of HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE and AZITHROMYCIN died at 2 times the rate as those not given this combo. Incredibly, the French study that I (and most of the planet) had heard "proved" that the combo of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin was an effective treatment of COVID-19 was retracted in May! https://retractionwatch.com/2020/05/21/french-hydroxychloroquine-covid-19-study-withdrawn/ (I'm really sorry I didn't correct my mistake earlier. I had thought my warning about these drugs causing irregular heartbeats was enough but the the Holy Spirit moved me to be much clearer because of the many new studies , the French retraction. and the fact the FDA stopped approval of hydroxychloroquine for coronavirus about 10 days ago.) I should have put a correction as soon as I saw a photo of Dr. Didier Raoult-he looks like a hippy surfer crossed with an Abba singer. The giant New York biotech Regeneron Pharmaceuticals said its Veloimmune technology will create antibodies against the coronavirus in several months. It's interesting that Remdesivir's maker, American biotech Gilead Sciences, sounds very biblical-but not surprising . After all the discoverer of bacteria and the founder of microbiology was the devout Dutch Christian, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek. Same for the founders of chemistry and physics, electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, rocket science etc. -thanks only to their guidance from Jesus. (91% of the greatest scientists and mathematicians were devout Christians-mostly Protestants.) On another note, even secular sources admit that quarantine was first mentioned in history by the Bible(Leviticus 13:46.) Christ Jesus is truly the amazing God! The first food ever eaten on the Moon was the bread and wine of Holy Communion. Many Bibles were taken to the Moon by the Apollo astronauts. In fact a bright red Bible remains on the Moon to this day, in a moon rover.. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-promising-antiviral-is-being-tested-for-the-coronavirus-but-results-are-not-yet-out/ Edit: (1) An NIH doctor said that Remdesivir, given under compassionate use, saved 14 gravely ill Americans on a cruise ship in Japan, reported the Wall Street Journal. Praise the Lord Jesus! (2)-replaced chloroquine(deadly) with hydroxychloroquine(now proven to be very deadly as well- June 25) ; -Added :hydroxychloroquine cocktail: with azithromycin; with doxycycline; with both azithromycin and doxycycline(all deadly -June 25) (3)added: Regeneron Pharmaceuticals... I hope and pray remdesivir passes its trials. Dear sweet people of all colors everywhere, please accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and God. I tell you with love that believing in Jesus is the only way you can receive the free and infinitely valuable gift of becoming the true children of God and living forever in heaven. James Clerk Maxwell was a devout Christian apologist and is among the top 3 greatest scientists in history. 91 percent of the greatest scientists and mathematicians in history truly believed In Jesus as their Savior and God: scientists/mathematicians like the incomparable Michael Faraday, the Wright Brothers(invented the airplane), Kepler, Werner Heisenberg(won the Nobel Prize for the creation of quantum physics),Leonard Euler, Ernest Rutherford, Kelvin, Newton, Bernhard Riemann, Dalton, Robert Boyle , Karl Gauss ,Freeman Dyson , Georg Cantor, James Presscot Joule, Josiah Willard Gibbs, Juan Maldacena, Blaise Pascal and hundreds more.
  22. Yes you are right. Also it is interesting to me that several Christian websites note in Leviticus 15:13 that God told us over 3000 years ago to wash ourselves using running water. Medical science did not catch onto this vital practice until about a hundred years ago. If we could see into hospitals in the 19th century we'd be shocked at the hygiene procedures. I also read in a secular journal that the book of Leviticus is where the first quarantine procedures were mentioned in history. It is so clear that only God could have inspired the amazing words of the Bible.
  23. Yes Frank, I hope our atheist friends open their minds and hearts and understand the existence of God is a self-evident fact and come to Christ. That said ,atheists are becoming passionate evangelists of their delusional , infantile belief. They have taken out billboards in some areas of the US with the message to Christians: " Don't go to church, it is all fake news." They have started atheist churches across the US, modelling Christian churches.(I saw a CNN special on this a few yeas ago.) They desperately want the youth and the entire country; and are fighting us with all their might for them. We must realize this and not be complacent. And as for science, it was devout Christians who invented all the major disciplines of science. About 90 % of the greatest scientists and mathematicians(post 14th century) were believing Christians. When atheists said heavier-than-air flight was impossible, two devout Christian brothers named Wright invented the airplane because they said they observed those incredible creations of Christ- birds. Many astronauts were Christians; to this day there remains a red Bible on the Moon.
  24. Sam, I prayed in front of my dental surgeon after she checked my X Ray and said the extraction would be difficult because my tooth would break. However after surgery she said,"This is the strangest thing I've seen. The tooth didn't break." Yea, it wasn't the parting of the Red Sea but was I ever grateful to Christ. Also, on another note(for the youth peeking in from the web), the fact that we can be 100% sure that one of the most important people in the Bible, Pontius Pilate, really existed is amazing. It sure feels almost like a supernatural revelation when you understand how ridiculously improbable the undisputed Pilate Stone find in 1961 was. Another stone artifact, the Nazareth Inscription, was said to be proof for the empty tomb of Jesus by the greatest Roman historian of recent times, Gaetano De Sanctis. Jesus said:"..if these keep quiet, the stones will cry out." -Luke 19:40 American scholar Clyde Billington shows how the N.I. is evidence for the resurrection: https://creation.com/nazareth-inscription-1 https://creation.com/nazareth-inscription-2 The Pilate Stone:
  25. The Menthos mints and Coke experiment I was doing for a 5 year old and 7 year old some years ago while I was looking after them for a couple of hours for their parents really brought home this verse. I put the Menthos mints in the Coke in a bathtub and we stood back while the coke powerfully shot up almost to the ceiling. The kids loved it. I then told them in a completely unserious tone that we were going to get a bunch more of bottles of Coke and Menthos and build a rocket and blast off to Mars, a planet faraway in the sky. All of a sudden their joyous faces were filled with dire consternation. The 5 year old girl grabs my arm and says : " Mister Ron I don't want to go to Mars, I really don't." I looked at her 7 year old brother and I could see the wheels turning in his head like he was thinking:'What I am going to do now and are we ever coming back from Mars. And why did Mom ever leave us with this crazy guy?' I was totally surprised that they truly believed they were soon heading to Mars with me. Those 2 little kids actually believed me without me even trying to convince them and they knew they were completely helpless in that situation. I think this is what Jesus meant by his words. It will be those people who accept they are completely helpless in their sins and know they need the true God to save them. And that they will completely believe what Christ says and in him. It is this kind of very young children's humble and trusting heart condition that anyone who wants to be a citizen of heaven needs to have, Jesus is saying IMHO. People need to be like this first in order to accept Christ.
