Paul could not preach that the kingdom had come, Paul preached redemption through the blood of Christ

Jesus preached that the kingdom of God had come, the kingdom was there with them, the promises of Abraham to the people was the promise of David of one that would sit on the throne that would forgive sins. In 2 Samuel 7

Paul preached about Jesus shedding his blood

Jesus in Mark 1:14 and Matt.4,4,9:24 shows us that Jesus preached that the kingdom of God is with us He could not preach about his redeeming blood because he had not yet shed his blood

Paul preached about Jesus shedding his blood

Jesus told them that God was in the mist of them

Paul could not tell them that Jesus never uses the word grace in the bible that is another word used by Paul.

Jesus mention hell[she’owl’] 20 times Paul 0 times.The reason is because Jesus spoke in Hebrew and Paul
spoke in Greek.Hades or Gehenna.

Jesus baptisted for forgivness of sins Romans 6,

Paul could not do that he baptised for death and resurection,

Jesus knew of this baptism in
Mark JESUS DID NOT COME TO CHANGE THE LAW Matt.5,Matt23,Matt 19;17 Paul changed the law Romans 7, Ephesians 2:15,
Romans 10:4,Gal2, Romans 3 Matthew 19, eternal life ,Matthew 25 judgement ,Paul Ephesians 2:8.9, 2 Crointhinans5:10 Grace

You could transform your life and the lives of so many just by showing love. If you have unkind thoughts about someone, those same unkind thoughts will return to you. What you give out you will recieve.

So what are your feelings? It only takes a minute to change your thoughts ,that can change a lifetime of misery and strife to yourself and those around you. You can go from bitterness to love and you alone have the power to change because you and you alone makes the choice of your thoughts and your feelings.

We all go through difficult times in our lives, it is how we handle them that is important. The old resentment in our lives has to be destroyed to make room for the greater good that love can bring, and this comes through meditation.

We need to always be aware of the guidance from God as to what changes we should be making for the betterment of our lives. Love life even through those difficult times when we are feeling unlovable and alone. Believe me God’s Spirit is always with us and within us even though there are times when we may not feel that presence.

We are only given this one life to live so why not live it through love rather then hate and make a better and healther place for ourselves and those around us.

God put His Love within us but not for selfish reasons He intended for it to be shared ,love can not grow if it is contained ,it must be shared. The more love that you share the more it returns to you and it only takes one small act of love to brighten someone’s day and you will feel so much better too.

Love to all

Rt. Rev. Marie.

We believe in Unity, in uniting all as one. In the Science of Mind we read that reason declares that which is infinite cannot be divided against itself. The infinite is, therefore indivisible and consequently a Perfect Unit.

It was through the Unity of Spirit that Jesus prayed, this tells us that God is within man as well as throughout all creation.It is the thread of all sustaining beauty which runs through all and unites all.”His lines have gone out into all places” ” There is no place where God is not.

“All life is bound together by one common law of love, and love is the Self-Givingness of Spirit. We must all come to sense this marvelous Presence, for this is the secret of successful metaphysical work. God in all and through all.” This makes for true unity. And this is our goal to bring all together in perfect Unity through the Love that God has put in each of us to share.

My answer to them is that I do not go to any church and I am not of any religion.

My church is the world, Jesus said “Go into all the world and preach of God’s Kingdom” well I am not able to travel the world but I can do my small part right here but for those of you that are able it is your duty to take the true message of God’s Kingdom to the people, we cannot keep God locked up within the four walls of the churches his word has to get out among the people because the people are leaving the churches.

And as far as my religion goes I tend to follow the teachings of Jesus I hope this answers your questions.

The song, “The Twelve Days of Christmas” is an English Christmas carol. From 1558 until 1829,Roman Catholics in England were not permitted to practice their faith openly. Someone during that era wrote this carol as a catechism song for young Catholics. It has two of meaning: the surface meaning plus a hidden meaning known only to members of the Church. Each element in the carol has a code word for a religious reality which the children could remember. to fit the number scheme, when you reach number 9, representing the Fruits of the Holy Ghost, the original or combined 6 to make 3, taking the 6 fruits that were similar: the fruit in each parenthesis is the that was not named separately. There are actually Twelve Fruits of the Holy Ghost.

The ‘True Love” one hears in a song is not a smitten boy or girlfriend but Jesus Christ, because truly Love was born on Christmas Day. The partridge in the pear tree also represents Him because that bird is willing to sacrifice its life if necessary to protect its young by feigning injury to draw away predators.

According to Ann Ball in her book, HANDBOOK OF CATHOLIC SACRAMENTALS:

The two turtle doves were the Old and New Testaments

The three French hens stood for faith, hoe, and love.

The four calling birds were the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

The five golden rings represented the first five books of the Old Testament which describe man’s fall into sin and the great love of God in sending a Savior..

The six geese a-laying stood for the six days of creation.

Seven swans a-swimming represented the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit——Prophesy, Serving, Teaching, Exhortation, Contribution, Leadership, and Mercy.

The eight maids a-milking were the eight beatitudes.

Nine ladies dancing were the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit——-Charity, Joy, Peace, Patience, {Forbearance},Goodness, [Kindness}, Mildness, Fidelity, Modesty, Continency, {Chastity}.

The ten lords a-leaping were the ten commandments.

The eleven pipers piping stood for the eleven faithful Apostles.

The twelve drummers drumming symbolized the twelve points of belief in the Apostle’s Creed.

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.” Psalm 139:14 One of the best things I’ve always loved about Christmas is making handmade gifts and decorations. I’m a crafty person so I guess it falls in the fun category for me, but it’s more than just fun. It’s a meaningful thing for me.

There’s such a satisfaction to see the look in someone’s face when they know you’ve taken the time to go the extra mile for them or to do something catered just for them. I’ve always enjoyed being on the receiving end of those homemade gifts and goodies as well, especially those ones that come from the oven. They envelop all of your senses and help develop some wonderful memories for the future. I really don’t think you have to be crafty or make your ornaments or gifts yourself to enjoy a handmade Christmas though. I think we can make our own handmade Christmas by just using our hands to make it a special time. You might not be cross-stitching or sewing or any of those things, but you might be putting a little time in to decorate and make things special for your family. You might be donating some time to a soup kitchen, going through your closets to make donations, taking some canned goods to the food bank. You may just be planning your activities so you can schedule in the people you love in order to spend time with them. I think it’s all those special touches we add in that makes it a Handmade Christmas. A Handmade Christmas Speaks to the Heart.

When we say someone “speaks to the heart”, we consider that what they say or do is real and genuine. That is how Christ always has spoken. We see it in the way He dealt with people when He was on earth and we see it in how His Word is written for us. We see it in how Christ deals with us and speaks to us on a continual basis. Of course not literally speaks, but how the Lord can give those words of comfort and joy to us when we most need them. He may send along a friend to encourage us, give us a sermon, or a Bible verse that we realize is just for us personally. A Handmade Christmas Requires Investment.

Being a crafter most of my life, I know there are those things you can do on a budget but I also know that creating can also cost a pretty penny. It depends what you are doing. I’ve created things for gifts that I know would have been much cheaper and easier if I’d had purchased them, but to me it was worth it to put in the money, time, and labor required. Not only do those handmade gifts take an investment but even for those who aren’t cut out for the creating scene, gift giving in general still takes time, effort, and investment. That is especially true when you have to go to ten places, fighting crowds, weather, and all the other things that tend to slow down our holiday shopping endeavors.

I love the fact that Christ invested in me. At Christmas we are reminded how Christ left His heavenly home and came to this earth, and He literally gave His life for us on the cross. A Handmade Christmas is Filled With Love.

When people take the time and effort to make homemade goodies for others, or take the time to purchase gifts for their family and friends, it is one of the ways they show their love. When Christ came on that first Christmas so long ago, look at the love that God showed toward us. John 3:16, says that “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son…”. A Handmade Christmas is Intended to be Passed On.

I like the idea of sharing gifts at Christmas. I think it is a reminder of how God gave us the Greatest Gift of His Son. We give baked goodies out to share. We give special gifts that can be kept and passed on to one’s family. We do things that can be passed on as traditions. The passing on of gifts and traditions is at the very heart of how most of us celebrate Christmas.

What better thing can we pass on than God’s love and His Son? We are admonished to “go” and tell the world, and Christmas is such an opportunity to witness to others that we should take advantage of it. Conclusion: I love all those homemade goodies at Christmas from the gingerbread men and sugar cookies that come popping out of the oven to taking out the Christmas boxes and looking through all the ornaments my kids have made for me over the years and putting them on the tree. Those are the things that give me a wonderful feeling. Handmade means made with your hands and that is what makes a Handmade Christmas so special.

It isn’t necessarily making everything with material, wood, or yarn. We aren’t all crafters and bakers, but it is putting your hands on Christmas with a special touch whether it’s for your family, friends, or community. It includes all that love and effort that people give to spend time with their families and show their love by choosing the very best gifts to give for each person. What a wonderful gift that God gave us. He knew exactly what we needed as humans. We needed a Savior. It was the greatest way He could show His love for us. Christ was our Gift made and given by God’s own hand. And oh what a treat He gave us in the Christmas story!

We have a star, angels, shepherds, wise men, and a little Baby born through a miraculous birth. You can clearly see God’s hand in all that transpired in the Christmas Story. So, what handmade touch will you give this Christmas?

Excerpts from a paper by {www.Vitin Mehta.com} Humanity is at a crossroads of mindsets. One mindset is that of Domination, which we have been swimming in for thousands of years. This insecurity creates the need to control others, and when this control is threatened then the insecurity deepens further to exercise power to rule over others. In modern civilization the political, economic and religious leaders guide humanity. When their powers are questioned and challenged, they turn to the next level which is manipulation. We see this everyday within our governments, corporation, and NGO” like the World Bank through political elections, corporate lobbying, and international lending. This mind game of manipulation is based on living in the past, which creates an unfriendly world. An example of this is the war in the Middle East . This unfriendly world creates warfare among the geopolitical nations, class warfare between the haves and the have- nots and the war on terrorism based on religious fanatic belief system. This unfriendly world drives us to the mindset of “take or be taken”. How much do I benefit or take away from this proposition? Everyone looks at each other through the eyes of suspicion. Finally, the cycle of domination brings us to “blame” or blaming each other rather than taking responsibility. At this point, no love remains.

Metaphysics can be applied to every area of life. Thoughts can become so powerful along with feelings and images when we are young that we can actually believe that we have lived them. Metaphysics is a heart connection and is essential to personal happiness and success. We also have a heart connection with the earth which is essential for human survival. Our ego mind is dualistic in nature. If we ask for health then we are admitting that we are ill, if we ask for wealth we must be admitting that we are living in poverty. Metaphysics is about learning to recognize false fear-based beliefs and replace those with self-love. The heart is actually a center for consciousness and intelligence, it is the connection of our mind to Spirit. If we want to be truly happy and peaceful, healthy and prosperous then we must learn to make that connection. Some people follow a system of rituals and practices such as meditation that help to detach them from mundane activities and live a spiritual life. Now that we have discovered that meditation can improve our lives let us look at how you can attract and maintain prosperity. Some people measure prosperity by the amount of money they have while in actuality it is so much more. It also includes love, health, and happiness. In order to attract these things to us, we have to have an attitude of continued expectancy. Our mind should always be open to new ideas, inspirations, and intuitions flowing from the mind of Spirit because Spirit or our Higher Power is our only true source of supply and prosperity. We can always discover greater prosperity by keeping our mind open and receptive and clear by focusing on what is the truth, it is by knowing the truth and keeping our focus on the Spirit within that we find the peace which leads to prosperity and positive and happy life. We can know that we have the Spirit within through meditation, we are assured that He is the central core of our being and mind, producing the greatest positive attitude for achieving prosperity. We must do away with every negative thought and affirm that with this High Power within us we are already prosperous and living a fulfilled and happy life the way that it was always meant to be.
