Life In Paradise
What the Bible says about the future of the earth and mankind might be summed up in one word - Paradise!
Jesus Christ spoke of it when he told a dying man: "You will be with me in Paradise." (Luke 23:43) The mention of Paradise no doubt brought to that man's mind the happy state of our first parents, Adam and Eve. When God created them, they were perfect and lived in a gardenlike park that the Creator had designed and planted. It was fittingly called the Garden Of Eden, which name denotes pleasure.
How delightful that garden was! It was a real paradise. Among its beautiful trees were those bearing delicious fruit. As Adam and Eve explored their domain, drank from its sweet waters, and gathered fruit from its trees, they had no reason to be anxious or fearful. Even animals posed no threat, for God had placed the man and his wife in loving dominion over all of them. In addition, the first human pair had vibrant health. As long as they remained obedient to God, an eternal, happy future lay before them. They were given the satisfying work of caring for their wonderful paradise home. Further, God gave Adam and Eve the mandate to "fill the earth and subdue it." They and their offspring were to extend the borders of paradise and our entire planet became a place of beauty and delight. - Genesis 1:28
Life In The Restored Paradise
Sickness, old age and death will no longer exist. "At that time the eyes of the blind ones will be opened, and the very ears of the deaf ones will be unstopped. At that time the lame one will climb up just as the stag does, and the tongue of the speechless one will cry out in gladness." (Isaiah 35:5-6) "God himself will be with [mankind]. And he will wipe our every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." - Revelation 21:3-4
Crime, violence and wickedness will be gone forever. Evildoers themselves will be cut off..... Just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more.... He will not be. But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth." (Psalm 37:9-11) "As regards the wicked, they will be cut off from the very earth; and as for the treacherous, they will be torn away from it." - Proverbs 2:22
Peace will prevail earth wide. "He [God] is making wars to cease to the extremity of the earth. The bow he breaks apart and does cut the spear in pieces." (Psalm 46:9) "The righteous one will sprout, and the abundance of peace until the moon is no more." - Psalm 72:7.
Housing will be secure and work satisfying. "They will certainly build houses and have occupancy....they will not build and someone else have occupancy; they will not plant and someone else to the eating. For like the days of a tree will the days of my people be; and the work of their own hands my chosen ones will use to the full. They will not toil for nothing, nor will they bring to birth for disturbance." - Isaiah 65:21-23.
Healthful food will be available in abundance. "There will come to be plenty of grain on the earth; on the top of the mountains there will be an overflow." (Psalm 72:16) The earth itself will certainly give its produce; God, our God will bless us." - 67:6.
Everlasting life on paradise earth will be delightful. The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it." (Psalm37:29) "The wilderness and the waterless region will exult, and the desert plain will be joyful and blossom as the saffron." - Isaiah 35:1.

"My Knight In Shining Armor"
He came to me one starry night;
I did not know at that time, that
He would be making my life so bright.
But I knew later that he was the one
That I've always dreamed of.
He is my heart, my soul, my love.
He is a special man you know, he
Constantly sets my heart aglow,
Because of the wonderful things he
Does for me, he is my Knight in Shining
Armor you see.
He has charm and wit and a great personality,
And he will always be very special to me.
When I look at his sweet sexy smile I melt like
Butter, for me, there could be no other.
I never thought that I could find, a man, who,
To me, could be so kind.
He thinks that I am the greatest and says that
I have his heart, and that he never, ever wants
To part. I said: don't worry, that will never be,
Because you are just too special to me.
He just doesn't understand what I see in him, I
Tell him he makes my life light up when it starts
To seem dim.
I'll never let him go you see, because he is My
Knight In Shining Armor, Naturally!

Why?
Why is it, when people ask you to tell them the truth, and you do, they either get angry, they don't believe you or they act like they don't hear you?
Why is it, when people who profess to be Christians, yet, they stand there inside the church or meeting place and tell someone that a certain someone is ugly or if you go over to introduce yourself and/or to be friendly and shake hands, those people give you really dirty looks like they don't want to be bothered?
Why is it when your family lends or gives you money, tells you, you don't have to pay it back, then turns around behind your back and tells another member of the family that you never pay them back the money you owe them. Why be so kind when they are just going to turn around and complain about it anyway?
Why is it when your family tell you that they will give you moral and emotional support, when some tragedy befalls you and you go to them and they just mock you or they say, well, that happens sometimes?
Why is it, that most of your friends or family members never call or come over to see you, unless they either want something, you won some money, or you owe them money, then they only stay five or ten minutes and then act like they can't get out of there fast enough.
Why is it, that you are standing at a bus stop, the bus is coming and you are the first in line, and some stupid rude idiot jumps in front of you, just so they can be the first person on the bus.
Why is it, when a person is standing a few inches or a foot away from a trash can and yet they throw their paper/trash on the ground. What is wrong with these lazy good for nothing idiots? I can't stand a lazy person like that.
Why is it when a person at work is not only intelligent, but works hard, is always on time and gets their work done on time or early when it should be and a promotion comes along and the stupid, lazy person, who is never on time, rarely does any work, is never dependable, always gets the damn promotion, not to mention gets away with doing nothing at all and always being late, when no one else can?
Why is it, when there is a person applying for a job, has years of experience and know how, is dependable and honest etc.., yet they hire, some dumb blond bimbo with the brains of a rock, and bosoms the size of New York instead; that has no experience, is about as honest as Satan and is never on time for work. You male employers out there, explain that! People should be hired for their intelligence and their experience, not because they are stupid and have big boobs and the employer can get over on them. Plus, no self respecting person is not going to work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for anyone. People have a life outside of work. The world does not revolve around you employers. Also, People have to make a decent living so they can pay rent/mortgage, buy food, clothes, pay utilities, car payments etc.. How do you expect them to do that when you only pay $6 or $7 and hour and you don't like it when someone has to work two jobs so they can live decently; and I don't mean in a mansion wearing furs and driving expensive cars. You employers are ridiculous. People are not robots, we are not computers, we cannot be programmed to work all those hours and days without getting exhausted. People are only human. We have our own personality, we can't be like everyone else, with no sense of humor and no personality, like some of you out there. God made us all different for a reason, we each do things differently from everyone else, that is what makes us so unique. So, don't expect everyone to work the same or do everything the same way as you think they should.
Why is it, that when two women go in and apply for a job, one is younger and dumb and has no experience and the other is intelligent and has years of experience and is more dependable, but yet, some horny employer hires the young bimbo instead? It is not fair!!
Why is it that you have to be able to speak spanish to get a job, when the spanish people don't have to learn english to get one. That is partiality and that is not right! The Bible says that partiality should not be shown to anyone. I never see any ads that read, must speak Japanese, or German or Chinese or Russan or any other language. No, it is always spanish. They get away with anything they want. Hey! people, I am only telling the truth, which is something no one else has balls to do. The Bible says don't be too quick to take offense for the taking of offense is what rests with the stupid people.
I believe that Las Vegas is filled with the stupidest, most greedy, horny, selfish and the meanest people there are. Especially the ones who own businesses.
Why is it, when people ask you to tell them the truth, and you do, they either get angry, they don't believe you or they act like they don't hear you?

What You Need To Know For Your Soul's Sake
Part II
I spoke in part I about false prophets and false christs, (Mark 13:22; 13:21-37; Matthew 7:15-20) well they are all over the world. If they concentrate on how much money that you give, in other words give out the collection plate more than once, skip around in Bible, not preaching the real truth, using the collection money for building huge mansions for themselves, driving big cars, wearing expensive clothes, celebrating all holidays and birthdays, when the truth is, the only observance we are suppose to celebrate is the passover. If your preacher was reading the sermons each time and teaching you what is in the Bible, then why has he not told you the truth about the passover as well. The preachers/priests etc.. are not teaching the truth, they are teaching what is comforting to them. That is why we all need to read the Bible ourselves, because these people are coming in sheep's clothing to mislead us. They are satan's people. Satan does not want anyone to know the truth, so therefore, these people are satan's workers come to mislead everyone. Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets wil arise and mislead many. Only the people who have their heads in the sand, do not want to know the truth, and that is many, many people. Wake up everyone and see these people for who they really are! Those false prophets out there who think they have been offended, read this: Ecclesiastes 7:9. All others read: Proverbs 4:5-9; Mark 13:22.
For those who believe that the dead come back or go straight to heaven, read these scriptures. Psalms 146:4; Genesis 2:7; John 14:15.
We all need to repent our sins and pray as often as we can. Prayers do come true. God does not always answer them right away, because he wants to see how patient you will be and how strong your faith in him is, before he does, but he does answer prayers. He has always been there for me, and just in the nick of time. We all need to get closer to him,especially in these evil, selfish, greedy and violent times. We really need to love one another and try to get along. It is what God wants and has always wanted. One of the most important commandments is to love they neighbor as we would love ourselves. Please take a good long look in the mirror and think real hard. Are you happy with your spiritual life? Have you done more good deeds or bad deeds, do the bad deeds overcome the good ones, if so, then you need a major spiritual overhaul and I suggest you get it before it is too late. We do not know when God is going to be making his entrance, so we all need to be spritually awake for when he does, because he will be doing the judging of everyone, including the resurrected dead. And he will be determining who will be going to the Paradise Earth and who will be going into the Lake of Fire. Which place would you rather go? On the Paradise Earth, there will be no sickness, no worries about bills, or having enough to eat; if you build a house you get to live in it, if you grow a garden, you get to eat the fruits of your labor. Everyone will get along and love everyone, including all the animals etc.. It will be a beautiful place to be and there will be everlasting life. But the Lake of Fire, the people who go in it, will burn for eternity and there will be no relief for anyone there. Where would you rather go? Yes, it will be God judging us, not Man. So, think about all this.
I have read the Bible for several years, word for word and page for page and I have learned so very much from it. I have read it over and over many times and the more I read, the more I learn and understand what God expects of me, of all of us. I find a lot of comfort in reading the Bible. I think you will too, once you start.
Most people think that all Christians are or should be perfect. There is no perfection on this earth in this evil society. There won't be until after the resurrection. The best the christians can do is follow all of God's commandments and rules and that includes no celebrating holidays or birthdays, spending time with God by reading the Bible and praying and asking him to forgive us our sins and to help us to not repeat them. That is just a few things we all can do for our God. Read the Bible, you will find out much more than you could ever know and you will be glad you did, believe me.

The Wedding Day
This is the day that you get hitched
The single life you will soon pitch..
You will be man and wife, two special
People in love; you two are as one for
Jehovah's acceptance and heavenly days,
Put your palms together and for his spiritual
Goodness, give praise.
Remember when you have problems, sit down
And talk things out with one another, then
Afterward you will not feel so smothered.
To make a marriage work, you both have to
Give one hundred percent ,that is the only way
To do it, if, in your problems, you wish to make a
Dent.
Remember this, I won't tell you twice, with love
And marriage, you must sacrifice.
So, love one another with all of your might
And with your marriage hold on real tight.

What you need to know for your soul's sake!
Part I
We all know, or at least most of us are realistic enough to know that we are living in evil times when Satan is running things. At least until the resurrection, when Jehovah God resurrects all the dead and looks into his judgment book and proceeds to judge not only the resurrected dead, but the living as well, and decides which ones will go to the promised paradise earth and which ones will go into the lake of fire. All we have to do to get to the promised paradise earth is to believe, have faith in God, love him with all our hearts, our souls, our minds and our whole being, to live the way God wants us to live - to follow all Of God's commandments, to worship him instead of our hobbies, our jobs, our music and anything else that we spend too much time doing, instead of spending time with God. We are not cabable of guiding ourselves, look at where we are now because of too much haughtiness, greed, self-pity, idolatry, selfishness, etc... We need to take a good long look at ourselves in the mirror, I mean a good long look. Do you like yourself the way you are, now? Another thing we can do is get the accurate knowledge of God; and that is to actually READ the whole Bible word for word, page for page, like a regular book. Do your preachers do that?
Ask yourself, why do they skip around so much in the Bible and sometimes repeat some sermons. Also ask yourself why they haven't told you, the fact, that the only holiday that we are suppose to observe is the passover. That is not just for the Jews, that is for all of us. The Bible is a book of instructions for everyone all over the world. Also, ask yourself why, the preacher neglects to tell you that Jesus was not born on Christmas, he was born during the warmer months of the year when the shepherds have their flocks outside, grazing. If Jesus had been born in December when it is very cold, the shepherds would have their flocks inside to protect them. And since he was not born in December, it makes more sense that he did not rise from the dead on Easter day either.
All these so called holidays stem from paganism, from long, long ago. The earlier so-called christians kept up the holidays because it gave them more reason to drink, get drunk and fornicate, so they kept it up and passed it down to our parents' parents then to us and we got so use to celebrating it, that everyone decided to stick their heads in the sand and did not and still don't want to listen to the real truth. If you want the real truth, read the Bible word for word, page for page and read it until you have finished the whole thing, then read it again and again and again etc.., like I have. The more you read it, the more you understand what God expects of us. This is not just a particular Bible from a particular religion, this is all Bibles from all religions, and if it says any different, it is because it is lying. Read any regular Bible. It will still tell you the same thing. I have two different Bibles and they both say the same thing and have the same meaning. There is no such thing as: You can interpret it anyway you want to. NO! it is in plain english to read for those who really want to get the accurate knowledge. Read Luke 2:8, it will tell you about the day that Jesus was born - on a warm day.
As for Birthdays, Jesus did not celebrate his birthday ever, so what gives us, who are born into sin, the right to celebrate ours? The Birthdays that were celebrated in Jesus' time only led to death, the death of John the Baptist and one of Pharoah's slaves. Therefore, we are not suppose to celebrate birthdays, much less any so-called holidays that stemmed from paganistic worshipping. Did you know that saluting the flag is a form of idolatry? Going to mediums/pyshics is a form of worshipping Satan. It is his way of getting us to do what he wants and that is his way of getting us to worship him. Singing Songs about our country is a form of idolatry. Observing those holidays are a way of Satan getting us to worship him. And like most people, they have no idea, because of all the false prophets out there misleading everyone. I have not met a true prophet/preacher yet.
Like I said, people, take a long hard look at yourselves and make the right decision to get the accurate knowledge by reading the Bible, word for word, instead of depending on someone else to read it to you, because they are skipping the truth and telling you what they think you want to know or what they want you to know.

We need to take a good long look at ourselves in the mirror, I mean a good long look. Do you like yourself the way you are, now? Another thing we can do is get the accurate knowledge of God; and that is to actually READ the whole Bible word for word, page for page, like a regular book. Do your preachers do that?
Ask yourself, why do they skip around so much in the Bible and sometimes repeat some sermons. Also ask yourself why they haven't told you, the fact, that the only holiday that we are suppose to observe is the passover. That is not just for the Jews, that is for all of us. The Bible is a book of instructions for everyone all over the world. Also, ask yourself why, the preacher neglects to tell you that Jesus was not born on Christmas, he was born during the warmer months of the year when the shepherds have their flocks outside, grazing. If Jesus had been born in December when it is very cold, the shepherds would have their flocks inside to protect them. And since he was not born in December, it makes more sense that he did not rise from the dead on Easter day either.
All these so called holidays stem from paganism, from long, long ago. The earlier so-called christians kept up the holidays because it gave them more reason to drink, get drunk and fornicate, so they kept it up and passed it down to our parents' parents then to us and we got so use to celebrating it, that everyone decided to stick their heads in the sand and did not and still don't want to listen to the real truth. If you want the real truth, read the Bible word for word, page for page and read it until you have finished the whole thing, then read it again and again and again etc.., like I have. The more you read it, the more you understand what God expects of us. This is not just a particular Bible from a particular religion, this is all Bibles from all religions, and if it says any different, it is because it is lying. Read any regular Bible. It will still tell you the same thing. I have two different Bibles and they both say the same thing and have the same meaning. There is no such thing as: You can interpret it anyway you want to. NO! it is in plain english to read for those who really want to get the accurate knowledge. Read Luke 2:8, it will tell you about the day that Jesus was born - on a warm day.
As for Birthdays, Jesus did not celebrate his birthday ever, so what gives us, who are born into sin, the right to celebrate ours? The Birthdays that were celebrated in Jesus' time only led to death, the death of John the Baptist and one of Pharoah's slaves. Therefore, we are not suppose to celebrate birthdays, much less any so-called holidays that stemmed from paganistic worshipping. Did you know that saluting the flag is a form of idolatry? Going to mediums/pyshics is a form of worshipping Satan. It is his way of getting us to do what he wants and that is his way of getting us to worship him. Singing Songs about our country is a form of idolatry. Observing those holidays are a way of Satan getting us to worship him. And like most people, they have no idea, because of all the false prophets out there misleading everyone. I have not met a true prophet/preacher yet.
Like I said, people, take a long hard look at yourselves and make the right decision to get the accurate knowledge by reading the Bible, word for word, instead of depending on someone else to read it to you, because they are skipping the truth and telling you what they think you want to know or what they want you to know.

YOU CAN HAVE A HAPPY FUTURE!
A warm embrace from someone you love. Hearty laughter during a good meal with dear friends. The pleasure of watching your children cheerfully at play. Moments like these are bright spots in life. For many, however, life seems to present one serious problem after another. If that has been your experience, take heart.
It is God's will that you enjoy lasting happiness under the best conditions in wonderful surroundings. This is no mere dream, for God actually offers you the key to such a happy future. That key is knowledge.
We are talking about a special kind of knowledge that is far greater than human wisdom. It is "the very knowledge of God." (Proverbs 2:5) nearly 2,000 years ago, a Bible writer said: " Every house is constructed by someone, but he that constructed all things is God." (Hebrews 3:4) Think of the knowledge that the Maker of all things must possess! The Bible says that God counts and names all the stars. What a staggering thought, since there are hundreds of billions of stars in our own galaxy, and astronomers say that there are about a hundred billion other galaxies! (Psalm 147:4) God also knows all about us, so who else could provide better answers to life's important questions? Matthew - 10:30.
Picture two men trying to repair their cars. Frustrated, one man throws down his tools. The other calmly corrects the problem, turns the ignition key, and smiles as the engine starts up and runs smoothly. You would not have a hard time guessing which of the two men had an instruction manual from the manufacturer. Does it not make sense that God would provide instructions to guide us in life? As you may know, the Bible claims to be just that - a book of instruction and guidance from our Creator, designed to impart the knowledge of God. - 2Timothy 3:16.
If the Bible's claim is true, think of what treasures of knowledge that book must contain! At Proverbs 2:1-5, It urges us to seek wisdom, to dig for it as we would for a hidden treasure - not in the soil of human thinking, but in God's own word. If we search there, we will "find the very knowledge of God." Since God understands our limitations and needs, he gives us instruction that will help us to lead peaceful, happy lives. (Psalm 103:14; Isaiah 48:17) Furthermore, the knowledge of God offers us exciting good news.
EVERLASTING LIFE!
The well-known historical figure Jesus Christ described this feature of the knowledge of God in clear terms. He said: "This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ." (John 17:3) Imagine - knowledge that leads to everlasting life!
Do not quickly dismiss everlasting life as a mere dream. Instead, look at the way the human body is made. It is splendidly designed to taste, hear, smell, see and feel. There is so much on the earth that delights our senses - delicious food, pleasant birdsong, fragrant flowers, beautiful scenery, delightful companionship! And our amazing brain is far more than a computer, for it enables us to appreciate and enjoy all such things. Do you think that our Creator wants us to die and lose all of this? Would it not be more reasonable to conclude that he wants us to live happily and to enjoy life forever? Well, that is what the knowledge of God can mean for you.
