What Is Christmas?

Most people who celebrate Christmas in America may not realize what they are celebrating - or why!

So what IS Christmas, you ask? It is the time when followers of Jesus Christ choose to celebrate the birth of their Savior; the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the Messiah, who came to earth to redeem lost sinners by sacrificing Himself on the cross, dying, being buried, and who was resurrected on the third day to live eternally. Hundreds of prophecies were fulfilled by Jesus Christ when He was here in human form.

In God's Word, the Holy Bible (KJV) we are told of The Messiah, and God the Father's plan to send His Son to die for our sins.

God's promise to send a Deliverer who will crush Satan:
Genesis 3:15
"And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."

 God's promise that The Messiah would be born of a virgin:
Isaiah 7:14
"Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." (Immanuel means God with us.)

God's promise to give His Son, who is also God:
Isaiah 9:6
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."

John 1:14
"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."

God's Word says Jesus is The Saviour:
Luke 2:11
"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."

Acts 5:30-31

"The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins."


God is the ONLY Saviour:
Isaiah 43:11
"I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour."

Jesus IS God:
Collossians 2:9
"For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily."


Jesus gave Himself to deliver us.
Galatians 1:4-5
"Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: To whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen."

Jesus Saves!
Romans 1:16
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek."




Phillipians 2:5-11

"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth;
And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

That is the true meaning of Christmas! Praise The Lord!!

Thank you, Lord. Maranatha!!

And a Merry Christmas to all who believe on the name of The Son of God!

JESUS IS COMING AGAIN



1 Corinthians 15:51-52
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

MARANATHA!!!!!!!

Bible Prophecy IS Being Fulfilled, Do You Care?

  
   There are things going on in this world that are not common to any other age in the history of earth, other than the time when Jesus was here walking among us. Bible prophecies are being fulfilled at an alarming rate!
    Now, an alarm can serve as a warning, or a reminder that it is time to wake up! When you are packed and waiting for the day of your exiting vacation, or your wedding, or some other joyous event in your life- you hear the alarm and jump right out of bed eager to begin the day! But when you are going through the motions, uninterested, even dead to the senses of life, the alarm brings anger and usually it gets switched off, or put on 'snooze.' But eventually, it will sound again. One of those times it will be too late, if you have somewhere to go you will have put it off too long and missed it.
    Let me suggest that if you have the latter attitude toward the idea of Bible prophecy being fulfilled and the knowledge that Jesus Christ will be returning for His true followers very soon, you are spiritually dead. The Bible tells of MANY people who had a form of spirituality, religious works to do, attending temples and doing many good deeds. But Jesus Christ warned them "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead [men's] bones, and of all uncleanness." Wow.
   Many people do not know what prophecy is:

  • proph·e·cy [prof-uh-see] –noun, plural -cies.

1. the foretelling or prediction of what is to come.
2. something that is declared by a prophet, especially a divinely inspired prediction, instruction, or exhortation.


 Or how accurate and specific the prophecies of the Bible truly are! Here is a site that has detailed information about 100 fulfilled Bible prophecies! Read these and know without a doubt that the Holy Bible is GOD's WORD!

100 Fulfilled Bible Prophecies


"Remember the former things of old: for I [am] God, and [there is] none else; [I am] God, and [there is] none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times [the things] that are not [yet] done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: Isaiah 46:9-10

So, knowing what Bible prophecy is, and that it is more accurate and reliable than a public school history book, why would you not want to know what God will do in the future? Many exciting things are happening that are setting the stage before our very eyes for the fulfillment of Bible prophecies.

Some of the important and very noticeable events are as follows:

  • The restoration of the nation of Israel.
  • The regathering of the Jewish people to the land of Israel.
  • Enemies of Israel surrounding them and vowing to wipe them off the map forever.
  • Military alliance between Russia and Iran.
  • Catastrophic earthquakes in diverse places, (and the ability to hear about them from the other side of the world.)
  • Strange and violent weather patterns.
  • Fasle brand of unbiblical Christianity spreading throughout the world, deceiving many people.
  • Rise of hate, evil, violence, homosexuality, sexual sins, and murder in the world; (as in the days of Noah.)
  • Extreme efforts being made to lay the foundation of a "one world government" or a "new world order."
  • Purposeful manipulation of global economic events with the goal of creating a "one world currency."
  • Rise in violent persecution of true Bible believing Christians. 
  • Commitment to divide the Holy covenant land of Israel, including Jerusalem.
    And this month we have learned that Israel has made a huge discovery of OIL in their land!

http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/03/israel-could-have-more-oil-reserves.html

    This is a crucial development in world events that will set the stage for a future war that is prophesied in the Bible,  in Ezekiel Chapters 38 and 39. But, unfortunately, another war prophecy may be fulfilled first, that of Psalm 83, and possibly the book of Obadiah.
    These prophecies speak of Israel's enemies coming to destroy them as a people. Never before has there been so much hatred for Israel than right now; especially within the Islamic culture. Their stated goal is the destruction of Israel. All of the 'revolution' in the 'arab' countries are setting the stage for this hate to boil over. The Muslim Brotherhood, if in control, will carry out their vows to make war upon Israel. They will try, but they will FAIL! It is written.
    We also have learned that in September, 'President Obama' is pushing for U.N. action to promote the division of Jerusalem.

Jerusalem Post article

    The last time an American president pressured Israel to divide land and give it away to their enemies for no reason, (their enemies do not want peace, they want the Jews dead and gone,) it looked like Hurricane Katrina.

Did God send Katrina as Judgement for Gaza?

   Barack Hussein Obama has already abandoned Israel, told them they can't build in their capital city, traveled around the globe giving speeches to promote the religion that calls for their destruction. If he messes with Israel any further, as Mr. T. used to say; I pity the fool. And I fear for our once great nation. God will judge us as we judge them.
"For the day of the LORD [is] near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head." Obadiah 1:15
    It is my prayer that America would repent and help it's ally, Israel. Otherwise we could see the worst disaster in America's history; the New Madrid fault line split; mother of all earthquakes. It could split us in two,"literally" (as Joe Biden likes to say.) it would submerge the midwest, possibly killing millions. We are not immune from the scenes of China, Haiti, New Zealand, or Japan. The U.S. Government will be conducting drills in the event of this catastrophe this May. They are preparing.

FEMA Still has New Madrid Fault Line Action Plans

New Madrid fault earthquake zone coming-to-life?

How loud does your alarm need to be? Wake up, smell the coffee, and get right with God. If you are not saved born again believer in Christ; please read my previous post about Salvation and ask God to reveal His Truth to you TODAY!

"Behold, I come quickly." - Jesus Christ, Revelation 3:11, 22:7, 22:12

False Christs Are Everywhere

   Jesus said "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect" Matthew 24:24
  He was telling his disciples one of the signs of His soon return. It is a two-fold warning; not to be deceived by the false teachers, and that in the last days when we see this happening; He is soon to return. 
   In todays "politically correct" world, it is considered insanity to call someone a false teacher. This would imply that there is a source, a teacher of absolute Truth! Liberals are "absolutely" sure there is no such thing.  Sounds crazy? Ha! It must be you! You should tolerate everything- even damnable lies and heresy! 
  Well, if you're crazy enough to keep reading in search of Truth in this dark era we live in, be warned; you will be persecuted if you believe on Jesus as the One teacher of spiritual Truth. (Of course, if you do not come to saving faith in Christ, you have a bigger problem than politically correct Yippies sound-biting at your shins with circular arguments and rhetoric.)  
   The Mormons use many of the same terms and names found in the holy bible, but they have different meanings attached. The Jesus they speak of is not the same Jesus found in history and the Holy Bible. The article below articulates these details very well!


http://www.worldviewweekend.com/worldview-times/article.php?articleid=6929



  Below is a link to a great and informative article by Ron Carlson, an expert on cults and eastern mysticism. Please read if you are a Jehovas' Witness, Mormon, or if you are being visited and courted by these often well meaning (albeit deceived) individuals. You need to know this information, it is very important.


http://www.christianministriesintl.org/articles/10.html


  The Catholic church is one thing most people think of as a "Christian faith." A "Christian cult" is a religion that promotes the idea of being saved by Jesus- PLUS X,Y and Z. In this way, the Catholic church is just like the Watchtower Organization and the Mormon Church. I was raised as a Catholic. It is unbiblical, works-based and very deceiving to say the least. In the Catholic church, Salvation comes from ritualistic man-made 'Sacraments' -not from faith in Christ alone! 


  Jesus said: "If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
John 8:31-32


  You must check the Catholic church against GOD's WORD in order to be faithful to Jesus and find out how to truly be saved by faith in Him alone. PLEASE take time to look at the links below to resolve this issue.

http://whateverycatholicshouldknow.com/wecsk/salvation_inchrist.htm

http://whateverycatholicshouldknow.com/helpforcatholics/Watch/The_Difference.html



  The next most dangerous thing going on, in my opinion, is the "Emergent church" movement. These people are deceived into thinking they are serving the True Lord, but in reality they have constructed a false Christ who is tolerant of any new age doctrine that comes down the line, including unBiblical meditation, eastern mysticism, Freudian psychology, and Universalism to name a few. Focus is on the physical needs, not Salvation by Grace through Faith in Jesus Christ alone (saving souls.) They are actively merging with all denominations and other false faiths in a GLOBALIST one world "kingdom now" agenda. It is not hidden, they come right out and declare it. The links below to articles of those who have researched this topic for years and have faithfully sounded the alarm! Get your next coffee and read on!

   If you are a saved born again believer in the Jesus Christ of the Bible, praise God! I hope you will use these resources to help those lost family members or confused co-workers in your life. Be bold and be faithful to God. 
   If you are not saved, I pray that you will settle the matter very soon. False Christs are everywhere, and the true Christ promises He will return to save His children, and judge the world of unbelievers.

Perilous Times Shall Come

This world is on the brink! This week alone the news should make you stop and think. The first important story highlights the "wars and rumors of wars" AND the "earthquakes in diverse places" prophecy for the end times spoken about by Jesus Christ the Lord over two thousand years ago. 

  • Earthquake shake as two Iranian warships prepare to enter the Suez Canal. Amidst the utter chaos in the Middle East with the radical Islamists foaming at the mouth for Israel's destruction, will Iran take advantage? Ahmadinejad say it is time for "the FINAL MOVE."

  • The Bible warns in 2 Timothy 3:1 "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come."  SO, who do you trust in these perilous times? 


  • "Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
  • "They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright. Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call." Psalm 20:7-9

Friends, if you are not right with God, the One true God of the Holy Bible, our Creator Jesus Christ, the Risen Savior; please pray and ask Him to reveal Himself to you. Ask Him to give you the gift of faith. Pray, admitting that you have sinned against Him. Ask Him to save you. Only Jesus saves. He will save you completely, and in these perilous times you will have peace in your heart that surpasses all understanding! I do not fear in these last days. I have peace. And, I know Jesus is coming back soon, for His church of true believers, those who are born again of the Holy Spirit. 

  • "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6


  • Jesus said: 
  • "And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory." Matthew 24:30


  • Jesus said:
  • "Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh." Matthew 24:44

Judgments on the Horizon

America is about to throw Israel 'under the bus' in a most official and dangerous way.  At a time when radical Muslim ideology is about to completely take control in the Middle East, Obama will further embolden the enemy by telling Israel they are not legitimately allowed to build any "settlements" -in their land!! Obama's agenda is clear. He is standing not with, but against our ally Israel. I'm sure 'Reverend' Wright is proud.


http://turtlebay.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2011/02/16/in_major_reversal_us_to_rebuke_israel_in_security_council


Meanwhile, if you are not bracing yourself for the coming economic slap-down, you could be doing yourself a great deal of harm. So please, wake up!! It is beyond obvious that the united States economy is being intentionally thwarted in order to set the stage further for the establishment of a New World Order.  Obama and his choice economic wizard's of smart are very aware that 'quantitative easing' will create hyper-inflation, and also destabilize the US dollar as the global currency.  So why would they do it?  Because it fits with the agenda of globalization, new world order, and transforming America from freedom to socialism. 

http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/21-signs-that-the-once-great-u-s-economy-is-being-gutted-neutered-defanged-declawed-and-deindustrialized





Here is an informative article about the true force that took over behind the scenes in Egypt. The protests truly began as a cry for Democracy- but were ingeniously overthrown by powerful entities who share a common agenda. Funny, Obama did not stand with the Iranians who truly cried and died in the streets of Tehran for liberty.  I wonder why? Not true, I don't wonder.


http://www.worldviewweekend.com/worldview-times/article.php?articleid=6905


In the transformed America, "POTUS" Obama prepares to grab more power to silence free speech than ever before. The internet "kill-switch" bill. But after all, we must be protected from news that does not go throughout the Big Brother machine, thinking freely, writing, or uniting to stop unconstitutional infringements on our liberty. Viva Barack! 


http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/technology/2011-02-15-kill-switch_N.htm


Spiritually, the world is being deceived on a scale never seen before. All religions are being brought together in a call for 'unity' and human oneness that will make Oprah smile. But TRUTH is the victim of this movement, and the souls in it's wake are sadly being lost to hell. "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect." Mat. 24:24
One recent and blatant example of an apostate 'emergent church' leader is Rick Warren. In the article below you will see at least one example why.


http://www.worldviewweekend.com/worldview-times/article.php?articleid=6886




What do all of these current events have in common?  They are all representative of a generation that is living to see Bible prophecy fulfilled. The nations are gathering against Israel. The world is in utter calamity. False prophets and doctrines of demons are everywhere, deceiving MANY. And the USA is in total decline. Why does that matter? As long as the USA operated under it's sovereign Constitutional basis it would never be part of a one world government. So, this must pass. We are seeing it take shape. We are warned that when we see these things begin, The Lord Jesus is soon to return!
Are you ready for that day? If not, then you need to be saved, born again, not of the flesh but of the Spirit...  
"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:3
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

Will God Bless, or Curse America?

   In the Holy Bible, it is revealed to us that God Himself made an everlasting covenant with Abraham. In the book of Genesis chapter 12 The LORD states "And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed." Genesis 12:1-3. Which category would the current U.S. foreign policy towards Israel fall under?
    Aside from our national sins of immorality; the murder of over 53 million babies, worshiping idols and turning to embrace false gods, as we kick Jesus Christ out of school and the public square, and the politically correct enabling and outleft promotion of the homosexual deviant lifestyle; there stands Israel. Josef Stalin said "America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within." It is clear that the communists, neo-marxists, fabian socialists, progressives, under whatever moniker they prefer to use, have accomplished their fathers' goal of collapsing America from within. If not fully then most assuredly in part, with a genuine forecast of destroying our once God fearing republic and transforming it into the cosmic-humanist whore of the new world order. 
   With all of our collective immorality, and the liberal 'Christians' complicity in not standing up for Truth but rather allowing this take-over from within; what can compare to siding with the enemies of God's chosen people? What can compare to calling God a liar? What can compare to plotting against God Himself, by plotting to give Jerusalem to the enemies of Israel? I would like to examine the Word of God Himself on the matter before drawing a conclusion, lest I fall into the snare set by the obamafied cable pundits who set up straw man scarecrow arguments and never come down from the fenceposts they are stuck on- all the while seeming concerned about "peace." (At whose expense, btw?)
   Firstly, God gave the land to the people of Israel. He made an Everlasting covenant with Abraham.

  • "In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:" (Gen. 15:18)
  • "And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the LORD." (Exodus 6:8)
  •  I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you. (Judges 2:1)
  • "The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land [is] mine; for ye [are] strangers and sojourners with me." Lev 25:23
  Secondly, the land of Israel is special to God, and the people of Israel are special to him also. The reason being, He keeps His Word ALWAYS. And, they are the people through whom He chose to send His Son Jesus Christ to redeem mankind and save the world from the curse of sin. "...and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed." Genesis 12:3.
  •    "For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye." (Zecheriah 2:8) 
  •    "And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel. (2 Chronicles 20:29)
  •    "For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth." (Det. 7:6)
  •    "Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance." (Psalm 33:12)
   Disturbingly, Barack Obama has stated his support of the failed "land for peace" approach, saying "Jerusalem will be part of those negotiations." US foreign policy under Obama also makes a stubborn habit of telling Israel that they should not build, referring to the capitol of israel as a "settlement." In Israel's defense Benjamin Netanyahu often needs to state the obvious; "The Jewish people were building Jerusalem 3,000 years ago, and the Jewish people are building Jerusalem today. Jerusalem is not a settlement. It is our capital." Uncommonly true and plain talk from a leader: almost as easy to interpret as the Word of God on the matter! 
   There are many promises and prophecies about Jerusalem's future in God's Word. Seeking His thoughts is always wiser than seeking the opinions of men. Let's look at only a few of the verses from the bible concerning Jerusalem. 
  • For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever: (1 Chron 23:25)
  • Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. (Psalm 122:6)
  • The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel. (Psalm 147:2)
   Unlike Bill Maher, nothing ever surprises Almighty God. He knows all. The events in Egypt, Jordan, Tunisia? The LORD has foretold the beginning from the end. He has much to say about Israel and in particular the ultimate epicenter of the universe; Jerusalem. Most importantly,  many prophecies are now being fulfilled before our eyes as nations conspire and gather against Israel, and plot to destroy the Jewish nation. 
  • They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from [being] a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. (Psalm 83:4)
  • And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. (Zec 12:3)
  • The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. (Joel 3:16)
  • And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. (Zec 14:12)
   God is so intolerant! No wonder liberals hate Him, because He is Holy and Righteous and Truthful-everything they despise all rolled into ONE. But He is also loving enough to tolerate everyone, in a way...THE Way. Any one who will accept His Son's atoning death of shedding His Holy blood on the cross and ask forgiveness will not be turned away! You see, a Jew already died for His enemies, He died once for all. It is finished. But the persecution of God's people will not be finished until God Himself has brought all of His sheep into the fold.  God have mercy on this nation. For we have been blessed by our Creator, and squandered it all. 
   As a US citizen and as a father, watching the rapid moral, economic, and cultural decline of the country I grew up loving is not easy to live through. My hope is this: If you are a Legislator, State Representative, or leader of any kind; please stand up and speak up for Israel's right to exist and defend herself. And Christians: please pray that our leaders including Barack Obama will come to Salvation through faith in Jesus Christ the Living Messiah. Only then will they respect God's Word, honor God Himself, honor Israel and restore the hope that God will someday again "bless America."

    "And behold, I AM coming quickly, and my reward is with me, to give to every one according to his work. I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last" (Revelation 22:13).

    "I Am the Root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star" (Revelation 22:16).

    Our glorious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to whom we have trusted our eternal souls, is more than just a great religious teacher who was martyred for His faith long ago. He is alive on His throne in heaven, having defeated death forever. He was our great Creator, our sin-bearing Savior and will be our eternal Lord and King. If you choose to call Him LORD, realize it is not a name but a title. It means you give Him authority over your life, repent  (turn away from sin) and put your trust in Him alone for your salvation. Good works and deeds are not what get you into Heaven. It is a gift which He paid for, laying down His sinless life, sacrificing Himself to a brutal death on the cross, paying our penalty for the sins of the world. He said: "I lay down My life for My sheep,...I lay down my life that I may take it again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father." That is why He is called The Lamb of GOD.
    Do not deceive yourselves - Seek the Truth, no matter where it leads you. "If ye continue in My word, then are ye my disciples indeed. And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Jesus Christ is The Truth. Only Jesus can save, and make you free.
