WHEN ADAM TRANSGRESSED THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD SIN WAS IMPUTED UNTO HIM. BUT, NOT ONLY TO ADAM, BUT TO ALL MANKIND, FOR WE WERE ALL IN ADAM AT THE TIME THAT HE SINNED. AND, SIN WAS IMPUTED TO ALL MANKIND. WHEN THE SPIRIT OF GOD DEPARTED FROM ADAM, ALL MANKIND DIED THE SPIRITUAL DEATH; THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL OF MAN DIED.

1Cor:15:22: For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. (KJV)

NOW WHEN A CHILD IS BORN INTO THE WORLD, HE IS ALIVE PHYSICALLY, BUT DEAD SPIRITUALLY. THE CHILD MUST BE BORN AGAIN. IN THIS UNREGENERATED STATE WE CANNOT KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD. THE CARNAL MIND, THE MIND OF SENSE, AND REASON, WITHOUT THE HOLY GHOST IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE LAWS OF GOD NEITHER IN DEED CAN BE. BUT I BELIEVE THAT EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE PRICE PEOPLE WILL PAY FOR THEFT. THESE WORDS ARE RECORDED IN OLD TESTAMENT, AND WE ARE NOT UNDER THE OLD TESTAMENT. BUT I BELIEVE IT WOULD BE TO YOUR BEST INTEREST TO LOOK OVER THESE SCRIPTURES. IN THESE VERSES OF SCRIPTURE GOD IS SPEAKING TO ZECHARIAH.

Zec:5:1: Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.

Zec:5:2: And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.

Zec:5:3: Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.

Zec:5:4: I will bring it forth, saith the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.

WE HAVE ALL SINNED AND CAME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD.

Rom:8:6: For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Rom:8:7: Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

Rom:8:8: So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

WHEN THE ELECT OF GOD ARE BAPTIZED INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST, AND RECEIVE THE WASHING OF REGENERATION, AND THE RENEWING OF THE HOLY GHOST, OUR SINS ARE WASHED AWAY, AND WE BECOME A NEW CREATURE, A NEW CREATION; OLD THINGS PAST AWAY ALL THINGS BECOME NEW. AND, WE DO NOT CONTINUE IN SIN. YOU WILL KNOW YOUR BROTHERS, AND SISTERS IN CHRIST BECAUSE WE DO NOT WILFULLY SIN.

1Jn:3:9: Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. (KJV)

LET ME ASK YOU A SERIOUS QUESTION. DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THE THIEF THAT CHRIST TOOK TO PARADISE WITH HIM, WAS IT A SPARE OF THE MOMENT DECISION. OR, WAS THE THIEF ONE OF GOD'S ELECT, PREDESTINATED FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD TO MAKE HEAVEN HIS ETERNAL HOME? THESE ARE THE SCRIPTURES THAT I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO CONSIDER.

Lk:23:39: And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

Lk:23:40: But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

Lk:23:41: And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

Lk:23:42: And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

Lk:23:43: And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

Lk:23:44: And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.

SAINTS OF GOD, I BELIEVE THAT THE THIEF THAT CHRIST TOOK WITH HIM TO PARADISE WAS ONE OF GOD'S ELECT. FOR, ONLY THE ELECT OF GOD, THOSE CHOSEN BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, PREDESTINATED TO BE ADOPTED INTO THE FAMILY OF GOD; SHALL MAKE HEAVEN THEIR ETERNAL HOME. I BASE MY OPINION ON THESE VERSES OF SCRIPTURE.

Eph:1:1: Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:

Eph:1:2: Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Eph:1:3: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

Eph:1:4: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

Eph:1:5: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

Eph:1:6: To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

SAINTS OF GOD, I BELIEVE ONLY THE ELECT WHERE CREATED IN SUCH A WAY THAT THEY HAVE THE POWER TO BELIEVE WITHOUT SEEING.

Acts:13:48: And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. (KJV)

IT IS MY BELIEF, SAINTS OF GOD, THAT THE THIEF THAT CHRIST TOOK WITH HIM TO PARADISE WAS ONE OF GOD'S ELECT, A GOD FEARING MAN. I BASE MY OPINION ON THIS VERSE OF SCRIPTURE. READING FROM

Lk:23:39: And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

Lk:23:40: But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

CHILDREN OF LIGHT, THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN WISDOM, AND EDUCATION. EDUCATION IS KNOWLEDGE THAT COMES INTO THE BRAIN THROUGH EXPERIENCE, AND PERCEPTION. EXPERIENCE IS THE THINGS THAT A PERSON DOES, AND HAS SEEN DONE. PERCEPTION IS KNOWLEDGE THAT COMES INTO THE BRAIN THROUGH THE SENSES THE THINGS THAT YOU SEE, HEAR, TASTE, SMELL, TOUCH. BUT WISDOM IS A GIFT FROM GOD. GOD GAVE SOLOMON WISDOM. READING FROM

1Kgs:3:5: In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.

1Kgs:3:6: And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.

1Kgs:3:7: And now, O Lord my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in.

1Kgs:3:8: And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.

1Kgs:3:9: Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?

1Kgs:3:10: And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.

1Kgs:3:11: And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment;

1Kgs:3:12: Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.

IF ANY MAN LACK WISDOM LET HIM ASK GOD FOR WISDOM.

Jms:1:5: If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. (KJV)

COME INTO THIS KNOWLEDGE, BELOVED OF GOD, THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM IS TO FEAR THE LORD GOD. IF A MAN DOES NOT FEAR GOD, HE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND.

Ps:111:10: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever. (KJV)

LISTEN AS THE CHILD OF GOD TESTIFIES TO THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Lk:23:39: And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

Lk:23:40: But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

LK:23:41: And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. (KJV)

I BELIEVE THAT THE SAINT THAT CHRIST JESUS TOOK TO PARADISE WITH HIM WAS A PRAYING MAN BECAUSE HE PRAYED THIS PRAYER. THIS IS PROBABLY THE MOST FAMOUS PRAYER EVER PRAYED.

Lk:23:42: And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

LITTLE CHILDREN DID YOU NOTICE THAT THE THIEF THAT CHRIST TOOK TO PARADISE WITH HIM CALLED JESUS CHRIST "LORD". NO MAN CAN CALL JESUS CHRIST LORD EXCEPT BY THE HOLY GHOST.

1Cor:12:3: Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

THE PRAYER WAS SHORT, BUT EFFECTIVE. BECAUSE JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD SAID THESE WORDS.

Lk:23:42: And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

Lk:23:43: And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

I BELIEVE THAT THE MAN THAT JESUS TOOK TO PARADISE WITH HIM WAS A MAN OF FAITH, BECAUSE HE SPOKE OF A KINGDOM THAT HE HOPED TO ENTER, THAT HE HAD NOT SEEN. THE CHILDREN OF SATAN CANNOT RECEIVE THE HOLY GHOST BECAUSE THEY CANNOT SEE HIM. THE HOLY GHOST MUST BE RECEIVED BY FAITH.

Jn:14:14: If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

Jn:14:15: If ye love me, keep my commandments.

Jn:14:16: And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

Jn:14:17: Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

WAS THE THIEF THAT CHRIST TOOK TO PARADISE BAPTIZED? YES, HE WAS, EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN OF WATER, BAPTIZED. AND, BORN OF THE SPIRIT, RECEIVES THE WASHING OF REGENERATION, AND THE RENEWING OF THE HOLY GHOST. THEY CANNOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. READING FROM THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. JOHN

Jn:3:3: 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.

Jn:3:4: Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

Jn:3:5: Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Jn:3:6: That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

FLESH, AND BLOOD CANNOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. THE OUTWARD MAN SHALL PERISH IT IS THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL THAT SHALL LIVE IN ETERNITY.

1Cor:15:50: Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. (KJV)

WHEN A PERSON RECEIVES THE HOLY GHOST, THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL COMES TO LIFE. IT IS THE SOUL OF MAN THAT SHALL LIVE IN ETERNITY, FOR THE SOUL OF MAN IS RENEWED DAY BY DAY.

2Cor:4:16: For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. (KJV)

DID THE MAN THAT JESUS TOOK TO PARADISE WITH HIM PARTAKE OF THE LORD'S SUPPER? I BELIEVE THAT HE DID. WE EAT OF THE FLESH, AND DRINK OF THE BLOOD OF THE LORD JESUS WHEN WE EAT OF THE LORD'S SUPPER OR HOLY EUCHARIST. EXCEPT A MAN EAT OF THE FLESH OF THE LORD JESUS, AND DRINK OF HIS BLOOD HE WILL HAVE NO LIFE IN HIM. I SPEAK OF ETERNAL LIFE.

Jn:6:53: Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

Jn:6:54: Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

Jn:6:55: For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

Jn:6:56: He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

Jn:6:57: As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

Jn:6:58: This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

COME INTO THIS KNOWLEDGE HOLY CHILDREN, THE LAWS OF GOD CANNOT BE ALTERED, CANNOT BE CHANGED, AS YOU SEE THEM IN THE HOLY SCRIPTURES IS THE WAY THAT THEY SHALL BE WHEN WE STAND BEFORE GOD. IN THIS VERSE OF SCRIPTURE JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD, IS SPEAKING AND HE SAYS.

Jn:10:35: If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; (KJV)

THE THINGS THAT YOU READ ESPECIALLY IN THE NEW TESTAMENT SHALL COME TO PASS. IF A MAN PLANS ON MAKING HEAVEN HIS ETERNAL HOME, FEAR GOD AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. BE A MAN OF FAITH, REPENT, AND BE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF SIN, AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST. YOU MUST EAT OF THE FLESH OF JESUS CHRIST, AND DRINK HIS BLOOD, EXCEPT YOU EAT OF HIS FLESH, AND DRINK OF HIS BLOOD YOU WILL HAVE NO LIFE IN YOU.
