JESUS

 CHRISTIANITY IS THE ONLY MAJOR RELIGION TO HAVE AS ITS CENTRAL EVENT THE HUMILIATION OF ITS GOD. FROM: JAMES A SERVANT OF GOD AND OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST TO : JEWISH CHRISTIANS SCATTERED EVERYWHERE!.GREETINGS! DEAR BROTHERS, IS YOUR LIFE FULL OF DIFFICULTIES AND TEMPTATIONS?  THEN BE HAPPY, FOR WHEN THE WAY IS ROUGH, YOUR PATIENCE HAS A CHANCE TO GROW. SO LET IT GROW, AND DON'T TRY TO SQUIRM OUT OF YOUR PROBLEMS. FOR WHEN YOUR PATIENCE IS FINALLY IN FULL BLOOM, THEN YOU WILL BE READY FOR FOR ANYTHING, STRONG IN CHARACTER,FULL AND COMPLETE. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT GOD WANTS YOU TO DO, ASK HIM, AND HE WILL GLADLY TELL YOU., FOR HE IS ALWAYS READY TO GIVE YOU A BOUNTIFUL SUPPLY OF WISDOM TO ALL WHO ASK HIM.; HE WILL NOT RESENT.  BUT WHEN YOU ASK HIM, BE SURE THAT YOU REALLY EXPECT HIM TO TELL YOU, FOR A DOUBTFUL MIND WILL BE AS UNSETTLED AS A WAVE OF THE SEA   THAT IS DRIVEN AND TOSSED BY THE WIND;  AND EVERY DECISION YOU THEN MAKE WILL BE UNCERTAIN, AS YOU TURN FIRST THIS WAY, AND THEN THAT.IF YOU DON'T ASK WITH FAITH, DON'T EXPECT THE LORD TO GIVE ANY SOLID ANSWER. A CHRISTIAN WHO DOESN'T AMOUNT IN THIS WORLD  TO MUCH SHOULD BE GLAD, FOR HE IS GREAT IN THE LORD'S SIGHT. BU A RICH MAN SHOULD BE GLAD THAT HIS RICHES MEAN NOTHING TO THE LORD FOR HE SOON WILL BE GONE, LIKE A FLOWER THAT HAS LOST ITS BEAUTY AND FADES AWAY, WITHERED--KILLED BY THE SCORCHING SUMMER SON. SO IT IS WITH RICH MEN. THEY WILL SOON DIE, AND LEAVE BEHIND ALL THEIR BUSY ACTIVITIES. HAPPY IS THE MAN WHO DOESN'T GIVE IN AND DO WRONG WHEN HE IS TEMPTED, FOR AFTERWARDS HE WILL GET AS HIS REWARD A CROWN OF LIFE THAT THAT GOD AS PROMISED THOSE WHO LOVED HIM. REMEMBER, WHEN SOMEONE WANTS TO DO WRONG, IT IS NEVER GOD WHO IS TEMPTING HIM, FOR GOD NEVER WANTS TO DO WRONG AND NEVER TEMPTS ANYONE ELSE TO DO IT. TEMPTATION IS THE PULL OF MAN'S OWN EVIL. EVIL THOUGHT LEADS TO EVIL ACTIONS AND AFTERWARDS TO THE  DEATH PENALTY FROM GOD. SO DON'T BE MISLED DEAR BROTHERS. BUT WHATEVER IS GOOD AND PERFECT COMES TO US FROM GOD, THE CREATOR OF ALL LIGHT, AND HE SHINES FOREVER WITHOUT CHANGE OR SHADOW. AND IT WAS A HAPPY DAY FOR HIM WHEN HE GAVE US OUR NEW LIVES, AND REMEMBER, IT IS A MESSAGE TO OBEY, NOT JUST TO LISTEN TO. SO DON'T FOOL YOURSELVES. FOR IF A PERSON JUST LISTENS AND DOESN'T OBEY, HE IS LIKE A MAN LOOKING AT HIS FACE IN A MIRROR; AS SOON AS HE WALKS AWAY, HE CAN'T SEE HIMSELF ANYMORE OR REMEMBER WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE. BUT IF ANYONE KEEPS STEADILY INTO GOD'S LAW FOR FREE MEN, HE WILL NOT ONLY REMEMBER IT BUT BUT HE WILL DO WHAT IT SAYS AND GOD WILL GREATLY BLESS HIM. IN EVERYTHING HE DOES. ANYONE WHO SAYS HE IS A CHRISTIAN BUT DOESN'T CONTROL HIS SHARP TONGUE IS JUST FOOLING HIMSELF AND HIS RELIGION ISN'T WORTH MUCH. THE CHRISTIAN WHO IS PURE AND WITHOUT FAULT, FROM GOD THE FATHER'S POINT OF VIEW, IS THE ONE WHO TAKES CARE OR ORPHANS AND WIDOWS, AND WHO REMAINS TRUE TO THE LORD. DEAR BROTHERS, DON'T EVER FORGET THAT IT IS BEST TO LISTEN MUCH, SPEAK LITTLE AND NOT BECOME ANGRY AND WHO TAKES CARE OF ORPHANS AND WIDOWS AND WHO REMAINS TRUE TO THE LORD NOT SOILED AND DIRTIED BY HIS CONTACTS WITH HE WORLD. SO YOU SEE, IT ISN'T ENOUGH JUST TO HAVE FAITH. YOU MUST ALSO DO GOOD TO PROVE THAT YOU HAVE IT. FAITH THAT DOESN'T ALLOW ITSELF BY GOOD WORK IS NO FAITH AT ALL-- IS DEAD AND USELESS. I SAY  THAT GOOD WORKS ARE IMPORTANT TOO, FOR WITHOUT GOOD WORKS YOU CAN'T PROVE WHETHER YOU HAVE FAITH OR NOT BY THE WAY YOU ACT." ARE THEIR STILL SOME AMONG YOU WHO HOLD THAT "ONLY BELIEVING IS ENOUGH. BELIEVING IN ONE GOD? WELL, REMEMBER THAT THE DEMONS BELIEVE THIS TOO-- SO STRONGLY THAT THEY TREMBLE IN TERROR! FOOL! WHEN WILL YOU EVER LEARN THAT BELIEVING IS USELESS WITHOUT DOING WHAT GOD WANTS YOU TO DO? FAITH THAT DOES NOT RESULT IN GOOD DEEDS IS NOT REAL FAITH. DON'T YOU REMEMBER  OUR FATHER ABRAHAM WAS DECLARED GOOD BECAUSE OF WHAT HE DID, WHEN HE WAS WILLING TO OBEY GOD, EVEN IF IT MEANT OFFERING HIS SON ISAAC TO DIE ON THE
ALTAR. JUST AS THE BODY IS DEAD WHEN THERE IS NO SPIRIT IN IT., SO FAITH IS DEAD IF IT IS NOT THE KIND THAT RESULTS IN GOOD DEEDS.
