A full blown Christian revival and whole hearted return to God, by most of this nation, is the ONLY thing that could stop our impending demise.

And, I just do NOT see this in the cards, for the U.S. or for the West.

So I say, we need to be about the Lord's business as best we can and to warn everyone to embrace the Lord Jesus Christ immediately, believing on him for salvation.

I am absolutely fully convinced that before things get too bad, the Lord Jesus Christ will come to snatch his beloved bride, that is, all true believers off the face of the earth and whisk Her/them to his father's house in heaven for the marriage supper and consummation.

This is called the pre-tribulation Rapture of the Church.

It will be followed by a seven year Tribulation period during which the Church will be with Jesus Christ in heaven, and during which Israel will be restored to God's service through the period of tribulation.

So we are to have very great hope and expectation, and should be watching for Christ's coming.

Meanwhile, we must also be busily about his work of winning souls.

We should realise, too, that most of these "refugees" have been enslaved to Islam, but at least some of them must realise Islam will NOT get them to heaven, and could secretly be open to Christianity.

And now, they are physically in the WEST and they have a fighting chance of embracing Jesus Christ without having their heads chopped off.

Some key evangelistic points we need to realise and employ:

God is absolutely perfect -- we see this in a close up look of the intricacies of nature.

Continual invention of new and high technology research tools and methods increasingly reveals this world to be ingeniously intricate and complex beyond wildest imagination.

It IS "SLAM DUNK," SPECIALLY CREATED BY GOD! - NOT RANDOMLY, ACCIDENTALLY EVOLVED!

GOD IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT AND WILL ONLY ACCEPT PERFECT PERSONS INTO HEAVEN!

Substitutionary atonement IS IMPERATIVE - to make us sinners judicially perfect and acceptable to God.

Jesus Christ, alone, in his true humanity, and in his perfect life and innocent, sacrificial, death, provides the atonement demanded by God.

Because Jesus Christ was, and is, God, born into human kind, - he alone, was able to live the perfect human life, and be the perfect sacrifice, that substitutionary atonement, for us sinners, requires.

God will ONLY be approached by his chosen, designated, high priest, Jesus Christ, to make ADVOCACY for lost souls. 

These two things, substitutionary atonement, and advocacy, both supplied by Jesus Christ make CHRISTIANITY ALONE -- THE ONLY WAY A SINFUL HUMAN CAN BE SAVED AND GO TO HEAVEN.

I'm sorry to say that many preachers and bible teachers come up far short of what would be needed for a real Christian revival.

But, this is true of most lay folks too.

We would all have to rise to the occasion, big-time.

Christian preachers, in their ordinations affirm that they believe in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

Father and son, in truth, refer to male beings, as is the plain, and historical, meaning of the words.

But, I believe, that many preachers hood wink themselves and others, into thinking that "Father," and "Son" are, like, just titles, somehow, not actual genders.

But, this is false, they ARE genders.

Something like 95%+ of seminary trained preachers and teachers believe that God is a spirit, that he has no body, and thus no actual gender.

This is a terrible, stupid, HERESY.

God the Father, and God the Son, Jesus Christ, are both spirits WITH spirit bodies, WITH male body parts.

The bible is telling the truth - they are male persons.

Readers can and should verify that this IS the situation by pinning down pastors and teachers and very DIRECTLY, specifically, asking them.

It might be best to do this in private, or at least off to the side where others will not hear.

Because, frankly, these preachers and teachers are doing this behind the backs, and unbenownst to, of knowledgeable, sincere, bible-believing lay folks.

See the introduction in my other web site, GodisaStraightMale.com for more detail.

 Speaking of the Bible, or bibles -- ALL BIBLES ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL.

Regarding the forgoing discussion please understand that knowledgeable, serious, lay folks overwhelming hold that the Bible is correct, and that God IS a male being.

Whereas, clergy, overwhelmingly sidestep the Bible's direct, plain, meaning, holding that God is neuter.

I strongly argue that the avalanche of, and acceptance of, "modern language bible" is NO ACCIDENT.

See my web page, Jesus Christ Hates the Deeds of the Nicolaitanes, for further detail on the clergy and laity topic.

The very very real corruption in these modern bibles is NO ACCIDENT, and is cloaked by the phony reasoning that we need bibles that are "readable," and "modern."

I say this terrible subversion is DIRECTLY RELATED to the "different breeds of cat," that clergy ARE, as compared to serious, knowledgeable, lay folks.  Bible readers have EVERY reason to be suspicious.

The King James Bible, the venerable standard of some 400 years, and, or the Geneva Bible, from about 1560, which the Pilgrims used, are just as easy to get used to.  The word spelling of the Geneva bible have been updated in new printings.

The problem is that God's ways are strange  and archaic to modern readers, NOT just the words, and this takes some getting use to, be it modern language or not. 

Furthermore, modern bibles often smooth over difficult details in passages, seemingly to make them more "readable," but wrongfully, effectively, blindsiding readers to rich details essential to the progress of maturing bible readers in their growth in the Christian faith.

Furthermore, the sad practice in many churches, every 10 years or so, of moving to the latest newly published bible, effectively destroys precise "verbal" remembrance of the exact wordings of passages.

Readers minds are turned to mush by subsequent bibles with different phraseologies in many passages.

See my web page, Is the Bible Really the Word of God? for more detail on this topic.

Also see, Why The King James Bible?.

Also, Missionaries' Bibles remove Father, Son, Son of God because they are offensive to Muslims - BAD BAD!

I hope to list more Bible pages later on this web page.

I want to say that as best I can tell, most bible preachers and teachers are happy keeping us lay folks in the dark, that they, behind our backs hold to God the neuter, and NOT to God the Father, and Son as male beings.  This is fraud.

We cannot place faith in "the System," -- we must search the REAL Bible, pray a lot, and seek our Lord's will. 

It may seem strange that God would allow persons who hold clearly non-literal biblical views, of a critically important attribute of God, namely God's gender, to be positioned as apparent church leaders.

Jesus Christ calls God, "Father," about 250 times in the 4 Gospels, and in the New Testament letters, or epistles, God is refereed to as "Father" about 100 times.  The word father plainly indicates a male person.

There is an old saying -- that some folks are SO heavenly minded, they are of NO earthly good.

There is a great deal of truth in this saying.

Running a modern church with its demanding financial, managerial, and pastoral aspects, etc., is a big, big job.

And frankly it is true that many, if not most, genuinely spiritually tuned-into-God folks would have great difficulty focusing, so as to do a good job.

So God, it seems, wisely ordains that less spiritual, or even, non spiritual persons staff these important positions.

It seems that the strong constraint of Holy Scripture (the Bible), plus traditional doctrines, have kept these less, or non - spiritual leaders more or less in some semblance of check, until recent times.

But, in these last times, these leaders are being coming non-orthodox in their views and preachings.

The spread of Darwinism, or evolution as it is commonly known, has greatly enhanced this falling away from sound doctrine.

It appears to me that 100 years ago most preachers held that God is a male, being in accord with the Bible.

But today, most hold that God does not have gender - an absolutely un-orthodox doctrine.

It is very important that we lay folks stand up for what the REAL Bible says.

There is so much in print, and on the Internet that any lay person can run circles around most preachers.
