NOT "ALL" SINS WERE FORGIVEN ON THE CROSS.

    The Gospel of Jesus Christ says:

    All sins of all people were forgiven for all time on the cross of Jesus Christ, except for the sin of unbelief that Jesus is the Savior. Did you know this?

    It was Jesus' blood, not your faith that brought forgiveness. This doesn't minimize faith, rather it directs your faith to its source...Jesus Christ. The sin of unbelief is the eternal sin that will never be forgiven. Unbelief is the sin commonly referred to as the "unforgivable sin," in the Bible it is called "blasphemy against the Holy Spirit."

    The Holy Spirit is convicting the world concerning sin because the world does not believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior. If you reject Christ, you reject the work of the Holy Spirit and "blaspheme" Him!

    In your spirit, you are free from sin forever, even if you struggle with sin coming from your mortal flesh, as a Child of God you're free!

COULD GOD, JESUS, ANGELS, & DEMONS BE CONSIDERED ALIEN BEINGS FROM "OUT THERE!"

    Think about it! Has the thought ever entered your mind?

    To begin with, angels & demons--they were created before the foundation of the earth was laid; therefore they have to be considered alien life as they were not of this earth! God could also be considered an alien since He did not originate on our planet even though He is with us in spirit.

    What about Jesus? He was born on our planet. He came "from above" and when He died, He went back "up there!" He could in a sense be considered an alien, in fact the only one who visited earth and then left the same way He came. He was with God before the world was created. Somewhere in Scripture Jesus stated, "My kingdom is not of this world (meaning earth)"

DOES GOD TAKE PEOPLE'S LIVES ?

    Clearly, yes He does! He will even take ours as He gave us our life. Many people express shock over this! It makes us uncomfortable to read those passages altogether.

    Some examples: Ananias & Sapphern, Noah's Flood, He commanded Israel to kill the Canaanites, and those who worship false idols and sinned like it was going out of style like Sodomn and G...... I'm sure you can think of others!

    So, as Christians, how do we deal with this fact? Is it wrong for God to take lives? Think about it!

HOW CAN CHRISTIANS DISPOSE OF THEIR DEAD BODY?

    The Bible doesn't give the answer except in one way: the poor who died were burned in a pit in the ground.

    Check out [Gen. 23:19;  35:4;  2 Chron. 16:14;  Matt. 27:60-66]. Mainly people were buried in the ground & some in caves, others on top of the ground (see picture above).

    As stated above, [Joshus 7:25] mentions one way the Bible disposed of a body based on the reason found in [Leviticus 20:14].

WELCOME BACK TO PURGATORY - NEW GUESTS ARRIVED!

    The only thing worse than being bad during your lifetime, is spending eternity being good! In the small community of Restraint (pictured above), aka Purgatory, it is the community where backsliding Christians go. They have strayed away from God and were unable to return to their Creator God. How they backslid is their business as they were lured away from the righteous path leading back to the loving arms of God & His Son, Jesus Christ.

    In Restraint, there are no newspapers, tv, radio, Western Union, no phones, no transportation of any kind. The temptations that these backsliders had back on earth are present in Restraint. All mysteriously given a second chance to undo the evil ways, the temptations of their former life. They are given this second chance to cleanse & purify themselves. They live in Restraint like they were back home, just an ordinary life.

    Their period of stay in Restraint is unknown to them. Only God decides. He puts you through tests, some you become aware of, others you aren't aware of. Violation of the rules will terminate your stay. Minor things will be overlooked. If you are tempted beyond your limitations, God will not provide a way out for you like He did on earth.

    The town of Restraint has a church and all residents have to attend at 7 pm every evening. They have 15 church bells to be inside before the doors close. Anyone who fails to be inside, a lightning bolt from the sky will strike that person or persons...dead! Some may think its cruel, but they later realize God id giving them a second chance.

    Those who pass the test and are ready to go home (to heaven), two angels descend from the sky to escort them up to heaven. Upon arrival in heaven you'll be welcomed to a big party with Jesus, and all the angels. If any don't pass the test, they are escorted out of town & thrown into the fiery pit of fire & brimstone located in a section of town with a dense fog surrounding it.

If God is omnipresent, or exists everywhere at once, does this mean that He is present in Hell? How can the wicked be sent away from God's presence if God is present everywhere including Hell? [Psalm 139:7-12].

    How then can God be present in Hell, a place where Scripture says is seperate from God [Hebrews 12:29)?

    By the way, if you don't want to go to hell, don't use the ticket pictured above. Its used for display purposes for this Journal.

THE CROSS IS NEVER DISPLAYED IN LDS CHAPELS & TEMPLES. WHY???

    In LDS Chapels you'll find paintings commissioned of Mormon artists & in their temples you'll find different symbols from sunstones to inverted stars. You'll never find a cross displayed!! (photo above is used as an example to go with this Journal).

    As Christians, we rejoice in the Cross of our Savior. We all know what the cross means to us. The New Testament speaks repeatedly about the wonder & redemptive power of the cross. Some passages which speak of the cross in "our Bible":  [1 Cor.1:18;  Gal. 6:14;  Eph. 2:16;  Col. 1:20; 2:14; 2:14,15].

    Christians cannot understand why the LDS church shys away from the cross yet readily displays pagan symbols upon their temples...the sun, moon, beehive, hand grip, inverted star, & sunstone. These symbols were carried over into Mormonism from the Masons & have occult signifance. Then again...Mormons worship a different Jesus than we Christians do. Perhaps their Jesus didn't really die on the cross for all mankind & their sins!!

ARE THERE THINGS GOD DOES NOT KNOW?

    Christians believe that God is omniscient. He knows everything, past,  present, & future. He knows the actual & the possible, only the impossible (the contradictory) is unknown to God, as the logically contradictory is unknowable to anyone.

    But, there are passages in the Bible that seen to indicate that God is ignorant of certain facts & that He needs to discover them. An example is:  [Genesis 18:20-23] where Abraham bargains with God to some people in Sodom. God says He "will go down & see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached (Him)."  In that verse if it is taken in a strictly literal sense, it indicates that God does not know how bad is Sodom without first visiting himself.

    How do we deal withpassages like this?
