RACISM, RACIST
JESUS the MESSIAH of NAZARETH, NOT RACIST, political, culture agenda driven, SOCIAL AGENDA ACTIVIST, religious sect leader, secular nation defender, THOCRACY PROMOTER, religious hypocrite, religious charismatic Mammon and glory seeker, abettor of lawless rioters and criminal elements, fanatical supporter of total sexual freedom, WOKEITE, etc. For the “KINGDOM” he preached is “NOT OF THIS WORLD… NOT FROM HERE” (John 18.36) and NEITHER WAS HE, NOR IS HE! What kind of “Jesus follower” are YOU? SIX CASES of Jesus' interactions with Roman governors and military officials of Israel in the 1st century CE prove the above assessment of him is accurate. The "six cases" are presented in six documents, each composed of a wide-format, multielement PowerPoint slide, with the text of each slide copied in easy-to-read format below the slide. under the entry "Polititians, Governments, Military, Police, Secular Authorities," in the Category: Interactions between nations, peoples, governments, religions, gods, goddesses, etc.
The COLOR of HUMAN LIFE. Resume of Major Points. "Black Lives Matter." Human life has NO COLOR. PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES of HUMANS. Forces of physical and spiritual life have NO COLOR. Human BLOOD IS ALWAYS RED for ALL RACES. "BLACK" is not the COLOR of any human LIFE. How does each human life ACQUIRE TRUE VALUE? ATHEISTS' poor and hollow concept of human life. Every "nation of men" is made of "ONE BLOOD." Human beings are the "OFFSPRING" of the true Creator God. Categories of human lives from the best to the worst. The RIGHT and DUTY to ask: "What human lives deserve to be respected?" COMMON SENSE in the evaluation of human lives. Losing and Recovering Human Value. Who are the people not afflicted with RACISM? The organization of human beings with the highest level of interaction free of RACIAL PREJUDICES is the true CHURCH of CHRIST guided by the New Testament.
Part 1. The New Testament teaches ZERO DISCRIMINATION in the church. Is the “Demon of Discrimination” active and effective today in congregations and their leaderships? The apostle Peter and the evangelist Barnabas were guilty of discrimination. God is not a respecter of persons. A congregation free from discrimination is a secure refuge, a beautiful creation.
Part 2. What treatment do minority Christians in a multiethnic congregation expect from church leaders and staff? The SATCHEL of PREJUDICES and DISCRIMINATIONS that MINORITIES themselves may have. A minority can be as prejudiced, or even more, than the majority. Discrimination is vanquished when all concerned achieve spiritual maturity. Some procedures to that end. The ROLE and ACTIONS of ELDERS (bishops, overseers, pastors) in a MULTIETHNIC CONGREGATION.
RAPTURE, secret. Left Behind. Millennium after the Second Coming of Christ. ERRORS and TRUTHS.
Jesus Christ "WILL APPEAR a SECOND TIME, NOT to DEAL with SIN." Analysis of Hebrews 9:28. This text is a hammer that breaks to pieces all the FALSE DOCTRINES of: “A SILENT Second Coming of Jesus Christ, a SECRET RAPTURE, LEFT BEHIND, the MILLENNIUM AFTER the SECOND COMING, a Third Coming of Christ,” etc. “Is not my WORD like FIRE, says the Lord, and like a HAMMER that breaks a rock in pieces?” Jeremiah 23:29
The many-faceted, deceiving, spiritually dangerous ERRORS of the "Secret Rapture, Left Behind" theology are fully revealed in the numerous documents that make up Section 11 and Section 12 of the "21st Century Commentary on Revelation."
RAINBOW COVENANT
The RAINBOW COVENANT pronounced by the Creator God to NOAH and all humanity after the GREAT FLOOD. The RAINBOW: God's "BOW" as a "SIGN" that assures CLIMATE and ATMOSPHERIC STABILITY from the end of the Great Flood to the END of PLANET EARTH, the Universe, and TIME. A "sign" that "seedtime and harvest" will continue to the END. "NORMALITY" in NATURE: A huge "BLESSING" that deceives purely secular humans, scoffers, and ridiculers. "PERPETUAL" and "EVERLASTING" in the Sacred Scriptures mean "to the time set by God for what they qualify," for example, covenants, ages, creations, etc. CARNAL USE of the RAINBOW by humans: A very HIGH RISK ACTION. CELESTIAL RAINBOWS in heavenly, divine setttings. 13-minute read time. Este tema en ESPAÑOL.
REFORMA-RENASIANCE
“I WILL COME AGAIN," declared Jesus of Nazareth during his earthly ministry. John 14:1-3, 28-29. YES, but ONLY AFTER the massive, long-lasting "APOSTASY" brought about by the "LAWLESS MAN of SIN," also identified, metaphorically, in Revelation as "the GREAT PROSTITUTE... BABYLON the GREAT," plays out in MEDIEVAL TIMES and afterwards, the "TEN HORNS" arise and act out their parts during the RENASIANCE-REFORMA, the Millennium transpires, and the “LITTLE WHILE” runs its course. The Sacred Scriptures of Pure Christianity say: "NOW... touching the COMING of our Lord Jesus Christ... IT WILL NOT BE, except the FALLING AWAY come first." 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12. Is it logical, then, for preachers and teachers of the Christian religion to pronounce with great vigor and frequency the following statement? “Jesus can come again any moment! Even on this very day! YES! RIGHT NOW!” NO! NOT LOGICAL! NOT BIBLICAL! However, let no inhabitant of Earth be deceived: Jesus "SHALL APPEAR a SECOND TIME" (Hebrews 9:28), to execute "the righteous judgement of God" on "them that know not God, and... obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus... when he SHALL COME to be glorified in his saints." 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12. 3 images and 1 video clip. 8 to 9-minute read time.

RENASIANCE. REFORMA.

Beware of dangerous advice on how to get to Heaven given by family, neighbors, friends, pastors, and priests. False gospels are deadly ways to follow. The sure way of obedient faith, REPENTANCE, and biblical baptism. 2 video clips. 6 images.

ROMAN CATHOLICS PERSECUTE JEWS
JEWS TODAY: MISSING OUT? Seeing "SIGNS" for which they themselves are responsible, but MISSING THEIR MEANING, ELOQUENCE, and the BLESSINGS of orienting their beliefs and lives in accordance with them. The SIX-DAY WAR of June 5-10, 1967. The GENTILES lose control of JERUSALEM, their "TIMES" of ruling the city coming to an end.

ROMAN EMPIRE. EASTERN ROMAN EMPIRE. WESTERN (LATIN) ROMAN EMPIRE. HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE. ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH EMPIRE.
Facts and Fictions regarding the DURATION of the ROMAN EMPIRE. The highly deleterious impact on the interpretation of prophecies in Revelation and Daniel of the FALSE NARATIVE that says “The Roman Empire Ended in 476 CE.” IT DID NOT! A conclusion supported by the renowned historians of the world, such as Edward Gibbon and Will and Ariel Durant (Pulitzer Prize Winners), plus the plain facts of undistorted history any serious, unbiased student of history can appreciate. A "BYZANTINE EMPIRE" never existed! What is called that only by historians after 1557 CE was, in reality, the Eastern Roman Empire. The "HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE" was held by its creators and rulers to be a continuation of the original Roman Empire. The ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH EMPIRE. 2 video clips. 8 images

The great importance of prophecy in the early church. SPANS of TIME covered by Bible prophecies. FALSE PROPHETS and PROPHETESSES of TODAY. Stupendous errors engendered by 70 CE and 476 CE LIMITATIONS on relevant prophecies. FALSE HISTORIES and FICTIONS on the "Duration of the Roman Empire," a so-called "Byzantine Empire," ODEACER, Alaric, and GENSERIC. FALSE CONCEPTS of PROPHECY deprive present-day Christians and non-Christians of the "LIGHT that SHINES in DARK PLACES." Eleven images and one video clip. 13-minute readtime. Este tema en ESPAÑOL.
