Question : is it biblical?



 Every human will die and shed there bodies then they will face judgment(Hebrews 9:27). Those who are saved by the work and blood of Jesus Christ, that would include old testament saints, have a new body that will be like Jesus resurrection body. A body not running on blood but God's spirit power. The music video shows a person in a space suit going through life. Mourning and living as they run the race of LIFE.  I heard some evangelist say that the body we look at and live in every day is a space suit . It is a a vessel for our souls that we leave behind when we die. One day we will shed this vessel or " space suit" and go home to be with the Father ,Son and Holy Spirit. (2 Corinthians 5:1-8 and John 14: 1-3) The Christian life is a race we run with heaven as our goal. (John 14: 1-3 and Hebrews 12:1). As the songs says " When our flesh and our bone are no longer between Where we are right now and where we're meant to be " Jesus blood has given all who are redeemed a "born again spirit that will one day have a new temple for God that will never die. The last point made in the the song is a call on followers of Jesus Christ to PRESS ON ! (Philippians 3:13-14).  Every Day and Every moment we get closer to HOME ! - The song is biblical. 


Hebrews 9:27:
27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

2 Corinthians 5:1-8)
1. For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: 3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. 4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. 5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. 6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

John 14: 1-3
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.  2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Hebrews 12:1
1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,  

Philippians 3:13-14 
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.


-All King James Version


"Almost Home"

Are you disappointed
Are you desperate for help
You know what it's like to be tired
And only a shell of yourself
Well you start to believe
You don't have what it takes
Cause it's all you can do
Just to move much less finish the race
But don't forget what lies ahead

Almost home
Brother it won't be long
Soon all your burdens will be gone
With all your strength
Sister run wild run free
Hold up your head
Keep pressing on
We are almost home

Well this road will be hard
But we win in the end
Simply because of Jesus in us
It's not if but when
So take joy in the journey
Even when it feels long
Oh find strength in each step
Knowing heaven is cheering you on

We are almost home
Brother it won't be long
Soon all your burdens will be gone
With all your strength
Sister run wild run free
Hold up your head
Keep pressing on
We are almost home
Almost home
Almost home

I know that the cross has brought heaven to us
But make no mistake there's still more to come
When our flesh and our bone are no longer between
Where we are right now and where we're meant to be
When all that's been lost has been made whole again
When these tears and this pain no longer exist
No more walking we're running as fast as we can
Consider this our second wind

Almost home
Brother it won't be long
Soon all your burdens will be gone
With all your strength
Sister run wild run free
Hold up your head
Keep pressing on
We are almost home
Almost home
Almost home
We are almost home
Almost home
Almost home
We are almost home

Dear loved ones

  Dear loved and valued one,      I writing this to you in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Jesus who I believe is the blessed Savoir and Son of God. I know that may not be what you believe and I respect that, Even though I personally may not agree. This is not going to be a long attempt at trying to prove or convince you of anything. There are many more places to explore the deity of Jesus,The historical nature of the bible and the many question that arise in relation to the bible. I hope not to offend but offer what many Christians, including me,view as a gift. The gift of forgiveness and salvation. This letter is my attempt to say in a simple terms  how to be forgiven and to make sure that you have you have joined the family of God. I will try and keep it short but will quote a few bible verses , Why do Christians quote the bible?  it is because we feel as 2 Timothy 3:16  says "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righ

Christmas ?

-
                                                                   Christmas?   Christmas, Easter the Sabbath day bring disputes over whether they are PAGAN or is it the right day. So earlier in the last few weeks I overheard a conversation between a sister in Christ when she tried to witness to a person. As she was witnessing he asked her "but what about the Sabbath when do you worship" and she admitted on Sunday. The person then said "what about Christmas do you celebrate" and she said "yes" and he immediately began to talk about the fact that sunday was not the sabbath and Christmas is pagan day and we do not know when Jesus was actually born. The message of the Gospel could have been sidetracked as she tried to defend celebrating Christmas and Sundays. We are going to speak about her response later.    2 Timothy 2:14 says "Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to
