Girl power!



                                “And of some have compassion, making a difference. And others save with fear,

                                 Pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh”

                                                                                         Jude 1:22-23
 

Anna’s husband cheated on her, and the world is asking her to leave him. The young mother of four has already been made the poster child of victims of infidelity, in the latest Joshua Duggar scandal. I can’t keep track of how many articles have been posted directed at her on the internet, and each of them with a different version of the same plea: leave your husband! 

Rome wasn’t built in one day, and neither is a lifelong marriage. Success, in any area of life, does not happen overnight, neither does it happen without putting up a fight.

A marriage is a work in progress, from the moment one says ‘I do’ until death do you part. Or so it is meant to be, although that is not always the case. I think I can count with the fingers of both hands how many couples I know that are still together with their original spouse after more than twenty or thirty years of marriage, and still have fingers left over. With those I can count how many couples I know that found the perfect match the second time around, and are still together after many years. But I don’t have enough hands or fingers to count the dozens of couples I know that are either divorced or getting ready to divorce or are in their third plus marriage.

Women cheat on their husbands just as much as men cheat on their wives. I’ve known people who have left their spouses and children to go play house with the person next door just to go back to their own place after a few months of sheer insanity, right about the time when the novelty wears off. I’ve known people who have said: “I’ve paid my dues, raise the kids, now is my time to enjoy myself”, as if having been married has been the biggest waste of time in their lives.
 
Anna Duggar is not alone, neither is she the poster child of infidelity or spouse abuse. Anna Duggar is just another spouse caught in the middle of the same kind of scandal that rocks many households in America and the world. And her desire to remain by her husband, which by the way is no different than Hillary standing by her then President of the United States man, when he got caught cheating on her with an intern in the White House, should not be taken as a sign of weakness. Anna Duggar is a strong woman. Actually, Anna Duggar is far stronger than 99% of the women that are telling her to leave. Why? Because instead of giving up, Anna is ready to fight! And a good fight it will be!

 
                     “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,    

                          Against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high

                          places”   Ephesians 6:12

 

The only time Anna Duggar will give up is the day she decides to quit trusting God and seeking His counsel for her marriage. Until then Anna is a warrior! The kind of warrior every household should have.

If Anna, in her anger, hurt and disbelief, packs her bags and leave, she will be no different than any other woman out there who at the first sign of trouble says ‘the heck with this, Im outta here, this is not what I signed up for’. That’s the counsel of the world. That’s what the world advises her to do. Over and over again you read on the internet ‘you don’t have to put up with this; get yourself and your kids out of there; save yourself; protect your children’. In other words, give up.

But thank God for Anna’s faith! And God bless her for standing firm in her convictions! Here’s a woman with a very clear understanding of what a marriage is really all about. Even if she can’t understand the purpose of God, she knows the Word and what it means to be a godly wife. And she knows the importance of forgiveness. Here’s a woman who didn’t just plan a wedding, she signed a covenant and meant it.  Anna knew what she was signing up for, because before she said ‘I do’ she agreed to been there in good times and in bad times.

 

                                                      “Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ”

                                                                                                                      2 Timothy 2:3


The answer is not to walk away. The answer is to fight for those who won’t or can’t themselves. To stand in the gap between the living and the dead. To ask that God, whose hand is not short that it cannot stretch, will reach to the depths of the pits we sometimes choose to walk through, and plea for the souls that Satan wants to steal.  

A warring wife is the watchman of her home that keeps the thieves away, the one who puts out fires and heals her broken bed.

Anna Duggar: You go girl! I hope the world keeps watching as you as you stand upon the Rock of your salvation, in whom alone is hope! That their insults and their ignorance may turn to the praise and the glory of His name!

Living in a fish bowl


           He who is without sin, cast the first stone’ John 8:7

No individual in this world is more exposed to judgment than a born again person. Whether they are leaders in the church or just another saved face in the crowd. And no one is more highly targeted by Satan than the children of God.

Ask just about anybody who is born again, what is the very first thing that happened to them right after they confessed and repented from their sins and surrendered their life to Christ. Did they grow wings and a halo? Did they have visions of heaven and hear the hallelujah choirs? Chances are their answer will be quite far from that. In fact, for most new believers the very first thing that will happen is temptation.

See, the moment we decide to leave the world behind to follow Jesus, we become the most coveted target for Satan. If we are no longer in his team, he will do whatever it takes to make sure we stumble and fall. The Bible says that ‘the thief comes not but for to steal, to kill and to destroy’ (John 10:10). Satan wants to steal our joy, kill our efforts and destroy our relationship with Jesus Christ. Satan will tempt us with food, money, material possessions, sex, drugs, alcohol, whatever the eye can see and the mind can imagine. He will make us think about the past we left behind and, much like he did Eve in the Garden of Eden, he will make us wonder if God really said we couldn’t do that anymore. He will make us reason through the most obscure desires and help us find a way to justify why we should just do whatever it is we’re thinking of. And then we find ourselves in a tug of war between our flesh and our spirit. He does all that and more, KNOWING, that much like a goldfish in a fish bowl, the world will be watching, ready for to judge.

The Bible calls us (born again believers) saints, and rightfully so, for we have been sanctified by the blood of Christ. But that is not what the world understand of the word. Many think that a saint is somebody who has never sinned and has special powers to intercede and heal and work miracles and wonders even after death. In reality, there is no such thing.

                                A saved person and an unbeliever are both sinners,

                                             and the only difference between the two is grace.

 

One has accepted the grace of Jesus Christ and the other one hasn’t. When one sins he or she is convicted of the sin and they know to repent because the Bible says that ‘If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness! (1 John 1:9) When the other one sins, he or she laughs it off, shrugs his or her shoulders off and goes on living their life thinking ‘I’ve done nothing wrong’. One holds on to the promises of Christ, the other holds on to the next opportunity to sin.

God called David ‘a man after my own heart’, even though He knew David would one day fall. David’s sin of sexual immorality even drove him to murder, and yet, God forgave him. Sure, there were consequences, plenty and for the rest of his life. But David never lost the love of God, and he knew it. When David was made aware of his sin by the prophet Nathan, the first thing he did was humble himself before God and ask for forgiveness.

            “Have mercy upon me oh God, according to your loving-kindness. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my transgression. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquities and cleanse me from my sin, for I acknowledge my transgressions and my sin is ever before me…”
                                                                                                                                Psalm 51:1-3

David got a married woman pregnant, then killed her husband later on to cover up his sin. Everyone in Israel knew about David’s faith. God had proven Himself time and time again through him. Surely when he fell the nation watched and judged.

When news broke that Joshua Duggar spent the last two years being unfaithful to his wife, in addition to having harassed five younger females years ago, including his own sisters, America watched and judged. Here is the oldest of the Duggar family, 19 Kids and Counting, thoroughly humiliated in the sight of everyone, for doing no different than President Kennedy, President Clinton, King Edward VIII, Prince Charles, Solomon, King David and a host of thousands of men all over the world who have fallen victim to the weaknesses of the flesh! When the world finds out about them, they glamorize and romanticize their behavior. They write books about their love affairs and movies by the load! And the world can’t get enough!

But when Joshua did the same thing, somehow he is called a ‘monster’.

Really? In a world where babies are being harvested out of their mother’s wombs for ‘research’, where little girls are being forced into sex slavery and children into terrorist training camps, a world where adultery, nudity and sensuality are fed, daily, in the minds of millions via the entertainment industry, a world that falls short of calling pornography ‘art’, somehow in this world of filth and immorality Joshua Duggar is ‘a monster’. And all I can think about is that, apparently I must have missed the memo that we live in a country that is actually packed with perfect, pure, holy and sinless people! Else they wouldn’t be judging. Right?

Facebook posts like ‘Wow!; I am not surprised; he is such a hypocrite; his wife should just leave him; I knew this would happen; and he calls himself a Christian’, are just the tip of the iceberg on the long and detailed list of adjectives used to describe a man who, for all accounts and purposes, represents men in many households in America, including Christian homes. No wonder Jesus said "by their fruits" you will know them.

The same people that have cast judgment upon him watch the same filthiness on TV and the internet, and do the same things when no one is watching. They just don’t think they qualify to be described as monsters because to them they are doing nothing wrong, which apparently makes it ok for them to sin in the same way but not be judged. Boy, does God have news for them!

     Therefore, you are inexcusable, oh man, whosoever you are that judge; for wherein you judge another you condemn yourself, for you that judge do the same things”

                                                      Romans 2:1


Lust is one of the most common temptation Satan uses. Sex is everywhere! Television producers manage to include it in anything from ads for cars, to traveling, to even cooking! The Naked Chef anyone? What does nudity has to do with cooking? Even if the show has nothing to do with nudity, the use of the word ‘naked’ suggests otherwise. It is nothing but a mind game. Show titles like Deviant Maids, Naked and Afraid, Pawnstars, Hardcore Pawn are only used to suggest something other than what the show is really all about. Even female superhero characters are always portrayed as the sexy, curvy, long leg, tiny waist, big chest girl only Barbie can truly appreciate!

So many people judging Josh, while they themselves are filled of the same desires and are carrying out the very same ‘monstrosities! The Duggars never painted themselves as perfect. Ever. On the contrary, there have been numerous times when Michelle Duggar said in the show that her family was far from perfect. And it takes a lot to admit to anyone, let alone an entire nation, that one is not only not perfect, but a sinner. That is not hypocrisy that is humility.

I hope no one in my family dares to point the finger at Josh or anyone in the Duggar family, for anything other than to say they can relate! Because none of us are perfect! Even if our sins are not like his, the amount of poor choices, lapse in judgement and mistakes we have managed to performed collectively as a family over the years, does not qualify either one of us to ever look at another in disbelief for their shortcomings!

The only thing I hope is that we all can remember that once upon a time we were just like Josh, that even though we have been saved by grace, we too have fallen, but when we fall, if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness! (1 John 1:9) I hope we can remember that our mistakes did not make us monsters, only humans. And I hope we can all remind others when they open their mouths around us to cast judgment against him, that they too are simply no better. That perhaps before they try to point at the spec in Josh’s eye they should first try removing the beam out of theirs so they can better see what exactly it is they are doing. I hope we can be humble enough to not walk around thinking: that is him, this is me, he is a loser, I am much better. Because when all things are weight in the balance the plain and simple truth is that we have all sinned, and fall short of the glory of God! Romans 3:23

For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwells no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.”  Romans 7:18-19

Glennon Doyle Melton: MOMASTERY'S BLIND LEADING THE BLIND PART THREE


"Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness." James 3:1

Among the many titles Ms. Doyle has acquired, the one that gets me the most is Sunday school teacher. To think that this woman has been given free access to the tender hearts of God only knows how many children, and that their parents are trusting her to infiltrate their little minds with her insanity, is simply heart wrenching to me.

This is just one more instance where I need to pause and remind myself that God is in control. That He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall have her in derision! (applied from Psalm 2:4)
The day will come when Ms. Doyle will wish she had never opened her mouth to tell a story other than the truth!

Candidly admitting that she doesn’t know it all, Ms. Doyle recounts one time when her husband and her realized that a decision had to be made with regards to how to best handle the things about God they didn’t understand. And that the best way was to simply go back to what they know. And that is that they are reborn. Unfortunately, Ms. Doyle’s idea of reborn is not even in the Bible either!

If Ms. Doyle was truly born again she would know that born again people are new creatures, the old is done away with. And if she was really born again, and a true follower of Jesus Christ, who really truly studied the Word of God with singleness of mind, she would also know that if a born again person falls away, it would be impossible to bring them back to repentance.


                         "For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame." Hebrews 6:4-6
 

Poor Chase, I so feel sorry for him, and his sisters. Heck! I feel sorry for anybody listening to her antics! I feel sorry for every person that follows her blog, that likes what she says and that base their own thoughts on the insanity she posts online. Life is not brutal, but false teachers are!

                             "But these speak evil of those things they know nothing about, but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves" Jude 1:10

This boy is being raised to believe that being reborn is about being IN the world! Is about understanding the difference between being born into a family and becoming part of another family. The one where everyone is in, good, bad, gay, straight, saved and unsaved. The first one your birth family, the second one your worldly family. He’s being raised to believe the very opposite of what the Bible says, with absolutely no mention of repentance, salvation, not even the name of Jesus. 

Like a perfectly thought out fairy tale she tells her kids, you are who you are, do the best you can, love, accept and celebrate everybody, don’t evangelize (thus avoiding stepping in anyone’s toes), pick and choose what you want from the Bible and somehow you too are going to make it into heaven! Because after all, when you are part of the family of this world, everyone is in and that's all that matters!

Jesus has a huge warning for Ms. Doyle and others like her.
 
                                       "If anyone causes one of these little ones--those who believe in me--to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea." Matthew 18:6

Is only a matter of time, and this false teacher, Glennon Doyle, will be only one ink drop away from telling her children and her followers that Jesus didn’t actually die on a cross, that He didn’t come to save, that He didn’t rise again and that He really isn’t God after all! Remember that what she writes is based on what she chooses to believe, not on the truth or what it really means.

Is amazing how many people are quick to question God’s Word, without praying about it or searching the scriptures, but don’t think twice to click ‘Like and Share’ on any online statement regardless of how unsound and ungodly it may be, all on account of ‘it makes sense’, without paying a degree of attention at what they are agreeing with. Unfortunately, to a person living outside the will of God, not seeking Him diligently and getting to know Him at a deep level, any version of the truth is good enough to believe in and to share, because sometimes that is all they have to hold on to.

And for anyone who’s following a woman whose job is to  ‘wake up every day, say yes to life’s invitation, and let millions of women watch her  get up off the floor, walk, stumble, and get back up again’, for anyone looking up to her enthusiastic yet distorted view of Christianity, the day will come when they too will be stumbling right alongside her and falling right on down the floor, with nothing to hold on to but a blind woman whose only real skill is to lead the blind! And if the blind leads the blind, both shall fall into a ditch! Matthew 15:14

Glennon Doyle Melton: Momastery's Love Wins

PART TWO: MOMASTERY'S LOVE WINS
                           "So a long time ago, your father and I decided that if a certain scripture turns our judgment outward instead of inward, if it requires us to worry about changing others instead of ourselves, if it doesn’t help us become better lovers of God and life and others, if it distracts us from what we are supposed to be doing down here—finding God in everyone, feeding hungry people, comforting the sick and the sad, giving whatever we have to give, and laying down our lives for our friends—then we assume we don’t understand it yet, and we get back to what we do understand."
                                                                                                     Glennon Doyle Melton

Contrary to Ms. Doyle’s teachings and beliefs, homosexuality is a sin and not everyone is a child of God. Everyone IS His creation, but not everyone is a child of God. Actually, Jesus made a huge distinction between who exactly is a child of God and who isn’t. Blatantly put, He pretty much said that his followers are the children of God and those who are not His followers are the children of the devil, Satan, who as we have said before, according to God’s infallible Word, is the Father of Lies. Therefore, anyone who is a child of Satan will believe what their father is teaching them, because as the child of the devil they have no wisdom, no knowledge and no understanding which is why they actually believe that homosexuality is not a sin, but rather something that should be celebrated! Never mind that God smote Sodom and Gomorrah because of it, according to Ms. Doyle, because is in the Old Testament is pretty much obsolete so no need to pay attention to the story. Instead, focus on remembering that LOVE WINS.

Yes, love definitely wins, but certainly not in the way gays or Ms. Doyle want people to think. Love won long before the Supreme Court decided to allow gays to marry and even long before Jesus died on the cross.

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life” John 3:16

That love did not start when Jesus came into the world, or when He died on the cross. That love, my dear Ms. Doyle and fellow readers, started when Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden and God, in His infinite mercy, killed an animal and made them clothing to cover the nakedness of their shame! And then, as a Father that loves His children, He chastised them, giving consequences according to their actions. To the man to work the land from sun up to sun down, the land that had been freely given as his domain, but this time with thorns and thistles, and to eat the fruit of his labor, his bread, with the sweat of his forehead. To the woman, sorrows multiplied during conception and child rearing, and submission to the one from whom she came. And then He gave the promise of salvation.

“And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between her seed and your seed, it shall bruise thy head and thou shalt bruise his heel” Genesis 3:15

Love wins. Yes, in the end it will still be love that wins, for God Is Love! But make no mistake about this! God does not love homosexuality nor does he love the unrighteous. Yes, this is a very hard saying. In a world where Christians are taught to believe that we need to love everybody because that is what God would want us to do, to show love, many refuse to believe that the Bible actually talks about how God truly feels about sin, in particular homosexuality. For many it is simply impossible to accept that God can actually hate. Gasp!

Again, make no mistake about this. When Jesus was on the cross, He took upon Himself the sins of the entire world! He made them His own, as if He Himself would have been the one to commit our atrocities. And at that moment, when Jesus surrendered it all on our behalf, He, the one who knew no sin, the darling of heaven, was separated from God if ever for a moment. Why? Because a perfect, holy God could not face the filthiness, the impurity, the ugliness, the wickedness, the immorality, the blasphemy, the darkness, the unthinkable things that Jesus had to bear on our behalf!

THAT, my dear Ms. Doyle, IS LOVE! THAT, is the only love that wins! That a man, whose name is Jesus, would lay His life for the world! And not just love, that is obedience!.

So many Christians talking about love. But isn’t that what is all about? Isn’t that what God wants from us? To love? To not judge, but to love?

God is not looking upon gays with love. God is not looking upon churches that allow gays to continue in their sinful lifestyle, with love. God is not blessing gay marriage. God is not blessing gay adoptions. God is simply not pleased with gays and homosexuality. No, God is not pleased with gender bender surgeries and IVF procedures to help two men or two women become parents. God is not pleased with not wanting to differentiate between male and female and wanting to just be unisex or asexual. God is not pleased with parents allowing their children to choose what sex they want to be. Listen, God is not pleased! Period!

Homosexuality is not only a sin, is an abomination! Gays, the effeminates, the ones who defile themselves with mankind, they are not going to enter into the kingdom of heaven! They’re not! Look it up! Is in the Bible! So stop showing love to the unrighteous and telling people is OK to be gay! That God loves them no matter what! Because that too is a lie that Satan wants you to believe!

“Do not give that which is holy to dogs, neither cast your pearls at the swine!” Matthew 7:6

Do you think that if God loved gays he would have annihilated Sodom and Gomorrah? Did you know that the angels that He sent to Sodom and Gomorrah before its destruction were harassed by gay men that wanted to have sex with them? Did you know that the angels did not go out of their way to show any type of love to them? No! On the contrary! The angels got away from them! They ignored them and got away from them! And then God killed everybody! There was no love there honey! Only judgment! Which is exactly what’s waiting for a whole lot of people at the end of ‘their rainbow’ if they don’t hurry up and repent from their sin! Don’t think love has anything at all to do with what’s going on in the homosexual community!

GLENNON DOYLE MELTON: MOMASTERY.COM


                                                   "But there were false prophets also among you, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresis, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways, by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of"  2 Peter 2:1,2

                               
Apparently, one of the most influential bloggers of our time is a woman called Glennon Doyle Melton. Her blog, Momastery: Truth Tellers and Hope Spreaders, is one of the most widely followed blogs around! And not surprisingly. For nothing spreads faster than a fire like a lie!

                                “A little leaven leavens the whole lump” 
                                                                   Galatians 5:9
 
One of the biggest lies Satan has planted into the hearts and minds of unsaved people and spiritually weak Christians, is to think a person can actually be a Christian and still go against the very things they claim to believe. Remember, Satan himself can transform into an angel of light. Satan is the father of lies. He knows the scriptures and he knows how to use them to his advantage, which means he will always use them to bring confusion, especially to people who claim to believe in God but are not actually in the will of God, because those who do not believe in God are already on Satan’s side, so why bother with them. The idea is to make a person take a double look at what God says, and then question ‘Did He really say that? If Satan can get a person to second guess God, then Satan has their attention. And once Satan has a person’s attention there is nothing he will not put in front of that person to confuse them and to tempt them, that the person will not fall for. Once the door is open Satan will always know when and how to enter. And that is Satan’s bait!

                                            “The thief comes not but to steal, to kill and to destroy…”
                                                                            John 10:10

Is that not what he did in the Garden of Eden? He took one, very straight forward, little piece of information that God had given to Adam, twisted it just enough to confuse Eve and then put it out there for her to fall for it. And fall she did, dragging with her the one person to whom God had entrusted His creation. Bringing therefore upon all of us, all kinds of consequences that we are all still paying for today! And THAT is what happens when someone who knows better decides to pay attention to, and follow someone who perverts the Word of Truth!

                                                       “But thanks be to God for His unspeakable gift!”
                                                                                             2 Corinthians 9:15

Glennon Doyle is doing just that. No doubt gifted with story-telling abilities, Doyle writes away in her own unique, new age, humorous style, craftily perverting the one thing she claims to love: the Bible. Story line by story line she has created the most fascinating description of what modern day family life is all about, in a Christian household no less, sprinkled with a few drops of Living Water that she’s managed to taint with the toxins of deception. And thus, one family story at a time, Doyle has mastered the art of completely fooling even some elect!

A ‘Christian’ who believes the Bible is wrong in one of the greatest themes covered in the scriptures, sin, she blends the Word of God with the idea that, somehow, what’s good for the goose is not necessarily good for the gander! In so many words she basically says that just because is in the Bible it doesn’t necessarily mean is true or applies to them.

In one brief yet poignant paragraph of a letter written to her son Chase, Ms. Doyle remarks that the Word of God, though inspired by Him, has been the victim of generational changes which in turns makes it impossible to discern the original spirit contained therein. She even went as far as comparing it to ‘the telephone game’. You know, the one where a story is told and retold so many times that by the time it makes it to the last person it is a completely and totally different story? More like a version of the truth than truth itself.

In her letter, Doyle tells her son, among other things that:

·         Much of the Bible is confusing

·         They don’t believe homosexuality is a sin

·         That as Christians, they study the Bible and pray, but carefully choose what to believe, based on whether or not it matches their understanding of Jesus’s overall message

·         That being born again is about identifying the whole world as ones family, and to make sure to avoid conversations about who’s in and who’s out at all cost! In other words….DONT evangelize!

·         Everyone is a child of God

·         And last but not least, if you don’t understand what the Bible says, just go back and stick with what you know makes sense.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg….taught at home and shared with thousands, by a so called Sunday school teacher!

Lord have mercy! I know in the last days many false teachers shall rise, but I can’t help being completely shocked when I read some of the craziness they have the nerve to put out there! In those moments I have to take a deep breath and give God the glory as I remember that not everyone that says ‘Lord, Lord’ will enter the kingdom of heaven! And that a real punishment is waiting for all those who teach a doctrine contrary to the truth of the Word of God.

Oh how very terrifying it will be for whoever will be the one to whom Jesus will one day say ‘depart from me, I never knew you’!

I don’t even want to begin to imagine which church or denomination she belongs to.  Whichever one it is, is obviously the wrong one. No real ‘Spirit led’ church would ever allow the spirit of Jezebel to infiltrate their Sunday school classes, let alone to teach one!

First of all, there is no such thing as confusion in the Bible! Why? Because in saying so a person is basically saying that God, who is absolutely perfect in every way, is confused with His own teachings and His own doctrine, and probably had no clue what He was talking about to begin with! It would basically be denying the wisdom of God. It would be saying that the part in the Bible that refers to the Spirit of knowledge and understanding, well, that just doesn’t exist because the Bible is confusing and as such there is no understanding and there is no knowledge. There is only ‘confusion’.

I guess Ms. Doyle missed the many memos found in the Bible itself, which clarifies such things. Then again, I am not sure which bible she is reading, which may very well explain why she is so very confused herself!

I guess the easiest way would be for Ms. Doyle to start, well, in the beginning! No pun intended, but is the truth. And sometimes the beginning can be found in places other than Genesis. Like in the book of John, in the very first chapter where it says ‘In the beginning was The Word! And The Word was with God and The Word was God! And later on, ‘And The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.’ Now, if this is too confusing we can then go all the way back to ‘the beginning’ so that we may understand this a bit easier. See, in Genesis chapter one verse one, the Bible says….“In the beginning God...”

Could that mean that God IS the Word? The same Word that became flesh and dwelt among us? The same God who spoke everything into existence, the same God that breathed the breath of life into Adam upon forming him out of the dust of the earth, that same God became flesh, human, and dwelt among us?  

Jesus! Who IS God, He IS The Word!

Jesus! Who is the expressed image of the invisible God. The one who stepped down from His glorious kingdom and took upon Himself, not only our human form but also our sins! This Word, This God, is the same who has no beginning and no end for He alone is The Ancient of Days, The Everlasting Father, The Beginning and The End, The First and The Last, The Alpha and The Omega!

HE IS THE WORD!

A Word that Is Alive, recorded for us in The Bible! A Word so powerful that it is sharper than any two edged sword, which can pierce even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit and of the joints and marrow and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart! Hebrews 4:12
 This Is THE WORD that Ms. Doyle wants her son to believe is simply…confused.

Again, Lord, please have mercy. For there are still a great many that do not know what they are doing.

 This is also the same Word Ms. Doyle claims has changed from generation to generation. Even though Jesus Himself said that ‘heaven and earth will pass away, but MY WORD will never pass away!

Why? Because since HE IS THE WORD and He is alive and has no end, then His Word can never, ever change nor end. Because God is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8) therefore His Word will always be the same, and will never, ever pass nor change!

And don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise! Not even popular Ms. Doyle!
