YES, THERE IS HOPE FOR MANKIND

Yes, There is HOPE For Mankind

The TO’s / HRM’s / Roman Catholicism / SN’ers / HNO adherents / SDA’s / LDS and JW’s (basically legalistic judaizers of the Christian Faith) all claim that ‘Man Can Do It’:

In English

“One will attain right standing with Yah because of one's works (the obedience to the LAW) that one has done on earth.”

In Spanish

“Una de ellas será lograr pie derecho con Jesús a causa de las obras de uno (la obediencia a la ley) que uno ha hecho en la tierra.”

In French

“On obtiendra droite, debout avec Jésus à cause de ses œuvres (l'obéissance à la loi) que l'on a fait sur la terre.”

In Latin

“Unus qui præ iustificavit opera consequi (legi enim) est quod in terra.”

In Hebrew

“.אחד ישיג מעמד תקין עם ישו בגלל מעשיו של אדם (הציות לחוק), כי אחד לא עשה עליי אדמות”

In Greek

Ένας εξ αυτών θα επιτευχθεί σωστή στάση με τον Ιησού, λόγω των έργων του (η υπακοή στο ΝΟΜΟ) ότι κάποιος έχει κάνει στη γη

In Chinese (simplified)

One将达到由于一个人的作品（在服从法律），一个做了在地球上的右侧站立与耶稣

In Japanese

一つは、理由1作品（法則に服従）は1が地球上で行っているイエスで右立ちを実現します

The name which is above ALL names is the name of God (Christ / Messiah), not the linguistic rendering of said name. And just like the Almighty creator of the universe and everything in it, is not bound by man’s limited finite understanding of or for linguistic renderings of a name, neither is God (Christ / Messiah) bound by only accepting mankind’s efforts, wherein said efforts were ‘good enough’. Why?

Works-based (Observance of Torah) salvation beliefs sets one up for being in the arduous position of A) calling the Almighty a “LIAR”; B) effectively renders Christ’s / Messiah’s death (crucifixion) in vain; and C) (as we read in 1 John 1:10, James 2:10 and Isaiah 64:5-6) is absolutely impossible to achieve. The Word tells us that it is quite impossible to ever be ‘good enough’ for God’s (Christ’s / Messiah’s) PERFECT standard. So what hope is there for us? Is there hope for mankind? Yes! Read on . . .

The HOPE that mankind has, is found in God’s (Christ’s /Messiah’s) Grace. As we can also read in Habakkuk 2:4, Ephesians 2:8 & 9, Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11 and Hebrews 10:38 (look them up – comparative Bible online)

“No Jesus, NO peace” and yet, “Know Jesus, KNOW peace”

How does one get to “know” Jesus? Simple, invite Him into your heart, as Jesus says: “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.” [Revelation 3:20 NIV] How can we be assured that this Jesus stuff means anything, well because the Bible tells us so, as the Apostle Paul wrote:

“If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.” [Romans 10:9-10 NIV]

And for those of you who say to me, I can’t be bothered reading the Bible, “it’s confusing” or “it’s a waste of my time”, may I draw your attention to what the Bible says about wisdom: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” [Proverbs 9:10 NIV]

If nothing else, PLEASE read two chapters from the Bible – (don’t own one, sorry NO excuse, if you’re reading this, you can access this: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%203:16&version=NIV) John 3 and John 14!

John 3:16 says: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

And John 14:6 says: “Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION, SECOND AMENDMENT

United States Constitution, Second Amendment

Quoting – “The thing that many don't quite understand about the gun control issues in the US right now, is that it is in their constitution that they have the right to bear arms. Many argue that this means they would only need muskets or the like, while many others argue that the 2nd was directed toward military only. At the time of writing, one of the men in attendance clarified that himself by saying that the militia was not to be a central government operated military but rather a well armed populace, the people themselves and that they must be equipped with the most up to date weapons. This was said because these men knew of the constant evolution of weapons at the time, and how that wouldn't change.” – End Quote, Mr. A. Gouin

Who ultimately makes this final choice that person "A" is granted or denied the "right", or denied the applicable permit(s) to even own, let alone bear arms?

Why was the "Second Amendment" implemented? Simple, to provide a means and the tools for the run-of-the-mill citizenry to protect themselves from another like King George, who embarked on excessive taxation, oppression and tyranny. Remember the "Boston Tea Party"?

Quoting – “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. [sic]” – End Quote, United States Constitution, Second Amendment

If ever there was a contemporary government whose practices fulfilled each of the above, 'excessive taxation', 'oppression', 'tyranny' not to mention suppression of many other long believed to be US inalienable rights, it is the current US Administration under the leadership of President Obama. If ever the US citizenry *needed* to be able to protect themselves from an overbearing, excessively strong, very centralized government...

It is the US citizen of 2014!

“Know Jesus, Know Peace - Whereas No Jesus, No Peace”
