Quote from Confessions by Thomas Aquinas

 This is a quote from  Confessions by Thomas Aquinas





   


    The great religious scholar who is a saint of the catholic church.  He is writing here about  God's eternal nature. Unlike every one of God's creation angelic or human God has no begining or ending. Aquinas eloquently say "today never comes to and end" and "time exist IN the God  Father ,Son and Holy Spirit. All of creation is limited compared to God. The Jesus says in Revelation 1:8 “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” Moses speaking of  human life Psalm 90: 9“For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.”10 The length of our days is seventy years—or eighty if we are strong—yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away." KJV  Most scientist feel the age of our universe is around 14 billion years ; but even that time exist inside of God's eternal existence. The life of one human even if it extends to over 100 is still a just a very small part of God's eternal "today"  

    Aquinas makes the point here that trying to comprehend this is less important that coming to the this God. Christians look to Jesus who said in John 14:9 "'..., Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?" Life and time are short accept Jesus gift of salvation while you still alive . 2 Corinthians 6:2  warns "For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation."  

   How can you accept the gift TODAY Acts 16:31 And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household. Confess and Romans 10:9 says “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”Acts 2:38 "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."

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
