  4. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The WORD OF GOD IS HOLY AND PRECIOUS! Gods Word is Clear on this Matter.!!! Jeremiah 27:15 For I have not sent them,' declares the LORD, 'and yet they are prophesying falsely in My name; therefore I will banish you and you will perish–you and the prophets who prophesy to you.
    Matthew 15:14 Let them alone; they are blind guides. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”

    Jeremiah 23:16 Thus says the LORD of hosts, "Do not listen to the words of the prophets (televangelists, Ministers, Priest, Pastors, Bishop ) who are prophesying to you. They are leading you into futility; They speak a vision of their own imagination, Not from the mouth of the LORD ( for your Money ) So than, Who you Believe, …The Word of GOD,..or your Pastor ??? Revelation 18:4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues; Take it or leave it. John 8:43 Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my Word. [ GOD Says to you. ]

    Proverbs 28:9 If one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.

  8. “The whole world hath been set ablaze by the Word of thy Lord, the All-Glorious, a Word softer than the morning breeze. It hath been manifested in the form of the human temple, and through it God hath quickened the souls of the sincere among His servants. In its inner essence, this Word is the living water by which God hath purified the hearts of such as have turned unto Him and forgotten every other mention, and through which He draweth them nigh unto the seat of His mighty Name. We have sprinkled it upon the people of the graves, and lo, they have risen up, with their gaze fixed upon the shining and resplendent Beauty of their Lord..”
    [Baha’u’llah (The glory of God, the promised one)- The Summons of the Lord of Hosts, v. 2.1]

  17. Has the Second Coming – Jesus’ return to earth – come and gone? Did it
    happen and we didn't notice? It is the belief of nearly 7 million
    peoples in the world the members of the Baha'i faith that Christ has
    already made his Second Coming.
    A newspaperman in Wisconsin scooped
    the world with the story. William Sears was with the United Press bureau
    in Madison, Wis., when he came upon his story completely by chance. As
    he worked nights, he often had time to read on the job. One night he
    came upon a book about a group of people who had eagerly awaited the
    return of Christ in the 19th century.
    Sears was particularly
    interested in the story of William Miller, a Bible student who
    calculated that, after studying the promises of the prophet Daniel in
    the Old Testament, Christ would return to earth in 1844. Miller had
    narrowed it down even further to Oct. 22, 1844. So on that day, he and
    his followers, who numbered about 100,000, climbed the hills and the
    housetops around Hampton, N.Y., where Miller lived, and waited for
    Christ's return, which never materialized. Miller and his disappointed
    disciples concluded that they must have made some mistake in their
    arithmetic. Sears the reporter was not so sure.
    Something of a Bible
    student himself, Sears figured that the prophet Daniel and Miller were
    right about 1844 and that Christ had indeed returned but the event had
    taken place somewhere else and had gone unnoticed by the world. Sears
    began looking at all available historical records for 1844. Were there
    any stories or legends of a man claiming to be the Messiah that surfaced
    that year?
    On one of his several trips to the Middle East for the
    United Press, Sears heard the strange tale of a young man who had been
    sentenced to death for instigating a religious-reform movement in Persia
    (Iran today). The story was that the man in question was hanging,
    suspended by ropes, from a crossbar in the public square while a firing
    squad took aim at him. But when the smoke of 750 rifles had cleared, the
    man stood on the ground unhurt. The guns of his executioners would- had
    severed the ropes but he had miraculously escaped the volleys and ran
    off free.
    The young man was known as the Bab (pronounced Bob), which
    means "gate." He had been traveling through Persia proclaiming he was
    the gate (or door) through which would come the Promised One. His first
    announcement that the Second Coming was imminent was made, Sears
    learned, on May 23, 1844!
    As John the Baptist had been the
    forerunner of Christ, according to the New Testament, the Bab claimed to
    be the forerunner of this new promised redeemer. The Bab was killed in
    1850, but his followers continued to await the Promised One. In 1863,
    one of their member proclaimed, he was the one the Bab had foretold. His
    name was Baha'u'llah, which in Arabic means "the glory of God."
    Sears
    had noted in his Bible studies that the Messiah was referred to
    countless times as "the glory of God," or "the glory of the Lord." For
    instance, Isaiah had said in one of his best-known prophecies, "Arise,
    shine, for thy light has come and the glory of the Lord (Baha'u'llah) is
    risen upon thee." Sears, who published his research in 1961, became a
    Baha'i himself.
    The Baha'i faith, unlike most Eastern religions, is
    more practical than mystical. The essential message is the oneness of
    mankind. Principles of the religion include universal peace based on a
    federation of nations. "Baha'is do not engage in political activities,
    officially support candidates or run for public office. The rules that
    guide a Baha'i in his daily life include loyalty, obedience to
    government and abstinence from alcohol. Service to mankind is regarded
    as a form of worship. The first proclamation of the equality of the
    sexes occurs in Baha'i teachings. As there is no clergy, Baha'is conduct
    their own meetings at which sacred writings are read and prayers are
    said. Since Baha'is believe the solidarity of society ultimately depends
    on the stability and unity of the family, all Baha'is, no matter their
    age, must get the consent of both parents (if they are living) before
    they can be married. Baha'is reside in more than 320 countries and
    territories of the world. In the United States, there are more than 500
    “Local Spiritual Assemblies" (groups of nine or more Baha'is).
    Well-known Baha'is have included Dizzy Gillespie, Vic Damone and Gail
    Martin, daughter of the late Dean Martin. The center of the Baha'i
    community in the United States can be found in Wilmette, Ill. The world
    center is located in Haifa, Israel.

    “Bestir yourselves, O
    people, in anticipation of the days of Divine justice, for the promised
    hour is now come. Beware lest ye fail to apprehend its import and be
    accounted among the erring”.

    [Baha’u’llah (The glory of God, the promised one), Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 17]

  22. If you're reading this and you are not a Christian then it may be that God is drawing you to Himself . If so then, please read what I have to say.
    The only way you can come to know God, is to have all your sins forgiven. The only person who can forgive your sins is the Lord Jesus Christ. He is God.
    Jesus Christ is God the Son who became a man. For a time, He was made a little lower than the angels. He became subject to the law of God and He never sinned.
    You are subject to the law but you haven't kept the law. You are a sinner who has broken the law. This sin separates you from God in this life and will do so in the next life, sending you to hell because the law of God demands that sin be punished.
    So what are you to do ? Where do you go ? and who do you go to?, to have your sins forgiven.
    You need to go to the cross. Here on the cross you see Jesus Christ crucified. He who knew no sin was made to be sin on your behalf. Look upon Jesus crucified and you will see on his body an incredibly ugly thing, an indescribably loathsome thing, That incredibly ugly and indescribably loathsome thing on Jesus body is YOU.
    Jesus is bearing your sins and your sinful nature in his own body on the cross. He is being punished and sacrificed on your behalf so that you can be spared and not go to hell. His blood is being shed cleansing you from all your sins so that when God looks upon you He doesn't see your sins. You are cleansed from all your sins by the the innocent blood of Jesus Christ. This makes you acceptable to God so that He doesn't send you to hell.
    Through Jesus on the cross you are saved. There is no other way. Jesus died on the cross but He rose from the dead and is now seated in heaven to save you and protect you and change you, giving you a new desire to love God and to live a holy life.
    To be saved , you must come to Jesus and ask Him to save you. Call on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.
