DID YOU KNOW...?

PLEASE READ JONATHAN STEPPS LATEST BLOG AND MY RESPONSE TO IT AT "NEO-REFORMATION". JUST CLICK ON IT OVER THERE TO THE RIGHT UNDER MY LINKS.

IS THIS GOOD NEWS OR WHAT??????????

For over 400 years the early Christian Church leaders taught UNIVERSAL REDEMPTION for all humanity. Also they taught UNIVERSAL RECONCILIATION for all. As well, SALVATION of ALL of humanity was taught in, by, for, and through Jesus Christ.

The concepts of "Hell" and "Hell FIRE TORMENT" were invented by the Greek philosopher, Plato, in the 4th Cen. B.C. and were imported into the church in the 5th Cen. A.D. by St. Augustine of Hippo, an avid student and admirer of Plato's philosophy.

The Triune God had originally "Adopted" all of humanity into His life from before the foundation of the world ( Ephesians 1:3-14) and made it a reality in the life, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ.( Ephesians 2:6)

THEREFORE, YOU and I are the children God ALWAYS wanted to be with Him forever. God LOVES YOU AND LIKES YOU. God Accepts us. He doesn't always 'approve' of all we do, but He ACCEPTS us and makes all things RIGHT in JESUS.( II Cor.5:19-21)

Jesus did it ALL for us. Jesus paid it all. Jesus connects us to the Triune God and places us into His life by and through His life. Jesus really is THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE for all humanity.

What this means for you and me is that we are SECURE in our life and our future in the life of God. In our eternity. In our future.

For more information on this topic please go to my web site and review the articles listed there by Pastor Paul. It is www.newlifewcg.org

CAN YOU SHARE THE "GOOD NEWS" ?

DO YOU HAVE THE COURAGE TO SHARE THIS MESSAGE.???

Hi to all of you readers of this Blog. I want to ASK you to do something. I want to ask you to send this blog email address to TWO people on your email list. ONLY two. More or all of them if you want to. It doesn't matter whether or not you think they will "like" this information or not. Since it is the TRUTH and they are included in the whole plan of God anyway, it would be nice for them to at least be exposed to it all. Then ask them to send it to two more and so on.

No worries. I am not going to ask for $ money. I don't want anything but to get this message out. I have some great links on this web site, blog, and I think they may actually learn something. How radical is that?

Just send it to two. ASk them to send it to two more on their list. Sort of like a chain letter. But LEGAL. Let's get this word out and quit hiding it under a "bushel" basket.

What do you think? Let me know

Love to all,
Blessings to all,

Paul Kurts

ANNOUNCING THE TRUE GOSPEL OF CHRIST

How can you identify the TRUE GOSPEL OF CHRIST?


Paul talks about a 'false gospel' in Galatians 1:6-7. False gospels have been around and with us for a long time. Teachings which say that we are 'separated' from God, or that we must 'accept' Jesus into our life, or that teach that some are 'elected' to be saved and others are 'elected' to be condemned and Damned to Hell forever, or that teach we 'must' DO something in order to be saved are FALSE GOSPELS !!!

For sake of space here, I have a paper, just a few pages in length, identifying just what is THE TRUE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST. I would like to send it to you for your evaluation and encouragement. Just E:mail me (at Paul.Kurts@wcg.org) and I will send it right back to you. ( Remember, I don't want your money.)

Do you really believe that God, our Father, would burn one of His children in an ever burning and torturing hell fire FOREVER for NO reason or for ANY REASON? That He would just elect them before birth to be BURNED ???!!! Well we don't either!

You need to see this paper. Just E:mail me.

blessings,

SHINE JESUS SHINE---OUT FROM ME !!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

( Let me send you the article , " WHY BELIEVING IS ENOUGH!" -E:mail me at-- Paul.Kurts@wcg.org )

I hope this year we let the LIGHT OF JESUS SHINE in our lives and out from us to others. One key element to understand is that IF Jesus is to Shine out from us HE MUST BE IN US !!! And HE is. Let me cite a few scriptures to demonstrate absolutely that Jesus is in All of us and HE WANTS EVEYONE TO KNOW.

Let's note five specific scriptures which show us all that Jesus is in fact in all of us.

John 1:4, " In Him ( Jesus ) was LIFE. There can be no life apart from Jesus. He is the source of our life. We exist in,by,through, and for Him. ( Col.1:14-20).

John 14:20, Jesus said, " In that day you will realize that I am in the Father, the Father is in me and I am IN YOU."

Acts 17:28, Paul talking to the pagan philosophers at Athens said to them, " You live and move and have your BEING in Jesus."

Galatians 2:20, Paul says that " I am crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ LIVES in me."

Colossians 1:26-27, Paul says that the Mystery of all time is , " Christ IN you the hope of glory."

and last, Colossians 3:4, Paul says "Christ Who is YOUR LIFE"...

This season of the year pictures Emmanuel, or God With Us. But not only God with us like some cosmic visitor from outer space, but God With Us, God Within Us, and We in God and in His life as well. EMMANUEL !!!

So, we see that Jesus is IN us. We don't "feel" Him in us. We don't "see" Him in us. We see our humanity and our self and our weaknesses in us and all the things that make us children of Adam. But Jesus living in us changes our life. It changes our future. It is our Hope. It is the ultimate REALITY. And it is Eternally SURE.

As we begin 2009 let's dedicate ourselves to allowing Jesus to SHINE out of us as we go about our daily activities. Let His JOY flow out of us to inspire others. Let Jesus TOUCH others by your hand and gentle caring concern. Let Jesus IN you help you focus on Positive and beautiful and wonderful things as Paul wrote in Philippians 4:8. Let Jesus Shine OUT. Yeild to His life living inside of you.

Let Jesus Shine in '09. Yes, let Jesus Shine out of you bringing light into a dark world. Yes. Yes. Yes. SHINE JESUS SHINE.
