TAKE IT FROM KAL=EL

TAKE IT FROM KAL-EL

Well, don't know if you're a big Smallville

fan (like me), but season 10 -- the final season

has started, and we are already headed to

episode 6.

What I wanted to touch on is episode 4.

"Homecoming"

*****

Clark, the reluctant hero, who always seemed

to struggle with his real identity and true

calling/destiny in life, has finally embraced

his Kryptonian heritage and destiny.

But, Jor-El (his bio-father)

told Kal-El (Clark's Kryptonian name) that

he would "never be earth's savior", due

to the darkness that was in his heart.

After all my 'saves'?

Darkness? Me, Clark? Yep. "Pride, vanity",

to name a few things. Anger, to the point

that he almost killed a man.

So, our Clark has been mystified for many days.

He knows he's not perfect.

He knows he has made many mistakes.

Too many for a superhero for sure.

What's a superman to do?

Well ... we see little hints of things here and there.

Like Jor-El sticking Kal-El's super suit

in a block of ice. AS IF  he has to earn it.

But AHHH . . . maybe he hasn't given up on

his son after all. Jor-El seems to constantly

test his son. This is probably another "test".

Enter BRAINIAC 5.

We have seen this guy,

in other episodes before,

in not-so-friendly renditions

of himself. This time he's

a member of the future "Legionaires"

and is even sporting "the ring".

He tells Clark that he, Clark, cured him.

He is no longer evil.

In the 31st century, he's a good guy, too.

So, what's he doing here,

at Clark's Smallville High School Reunion?

I LOVE THIS.

They have pulled off a nostalgic

Scrooge-like scene of redemption.

Brainiac takes Clark to 3 places back in time,

unseen by others (of course), to show

him just where the darkness in his heart began.

The first place is his earthly father's

(Jonathan Kent) burial.

He then is transported to the scene where

Jonathan goes all postal on Lionel Luther with

his fists. Jonathan's heart gave out. He died.

Clark is absolved from his guilt.

Clark thought he had caused Jonathan's death.

The next scene is at Oliver's (Green Arrow) office.

He had just told the world his true identity.

Brainiac shows Clark how much Oliver needs

his support.

And then, he is transported back to the present,

to the homecoming. Brainiac shows how that,

even though Clark does indeed loves and protects Lois Lane,

he somehow distances himself from her.

And then, before they (Clark & Brainiac)

could go the final place together,

the future, Clark reacts to the sight of a former menace he took down, 

touches the ring on Brainiac's finger, and propels himself

into the future.

ALONE.

SEVEN YEARS AHEAD.

There he meets the Lois of the future,

at the Daily Planet,

who knows that he is Superman.

And she knows the entire secret, not

just the super-powers part. The "alien" part.

He then  meets his future self and says

"How did I get so uptight and nerdy?"

He ends up helping Superman, er himself,

by staying on the roof and saving Lois,

while Superman saves the day across town.

Through all of this journey of redemption,

Clark realizes that the "darkness" inside him

is guilt over past mistakes,

fear of the future, and how

it affects him and everybody around him.

I LOVE BRAINIAC'S LINE RIGHT HERE:

"Heroes are made in the moment, not from questioning 

the past or fearing what's to come."

From there, we see confidence returning to Clark ...

pride going ... and a renewed love for Lois,

his biggest fan & supporter.

KAL-EL GOT IT.

He got the message.

It is totally vain and useless

and even destructive to

continue to kick yourself over

the mistakes of the past,

holding that guilt even over others,

and fearing what the future will bring.

Kal-El found out that his future would

turn out just fine.

He would be just fine as a real Superman.

Moral of story?

What are you holding on to that's hindering

YOU from being a hero . . .

that's hindering you from reaching

your full potential . . .

from discovering your true calling and destiny

in God?

Hopefully you can find out this week.

And then, the Legion won't have to send

in Brainiac 5, freeze time and take you

on a similar journey.

SMILE A WHILE

IT REALLY CAN'T HURT.

Until next blog,

I remain

Preachers Denying The Divinity of Christ

WE INTERRUPT THIS BROADCAST . . .
We were going to continue our
subject,  Re: Jesus' Coming, etc.
But The Holy Spirit quickened me
to post this.

PREACHERS DENYING
THE DIVINITY OF CHRIST!

I will NOT mention any names (as of yet)
but many, and I say again, MANY well-known
preachers and teachers of Christ
once were powerful and forthright
in their defense of The Gospel
Many of these have been strong pillars
and strong influences in the church
and the world . . .
You will hear some of them cast doubt
on Jesus' divinity --
by mistaking his humanity as lack of divinity,
by comparing Him in His Humanity
to the Father that He willingly submitted
to, of whom He said,
"Is greater than I" ...
fail to realize that He came as
THE SON OF MAN.
Many of these preachers
(some you know or have heard of)
are referring to Jesus
as a "Mystic"
and have actually  casted doubt
upon His Sacrificial Death,
His Resurrection,
and have nearly denied Him as God!
+___________________________+

BELOVED
I WANT YOU TO HEAR ME
and Hear Me Clearly
THIS IS ONE PREACHER
who will not deny the divinity of Jesus!!!
JESUS IS LORD!
HE IS THE SON OF GOD
HE CAME AS GOD IN THE FLESH
He said, "I AM The Way, the Truth,
and The Life ... NO ONE
comes to the Father
except by ME."
(John 14:6)

Now
We may very well indeed
throw away
traditions of men
"myths" of the church
renounce the doctrine of hell
embrace the concept that God has reconciled 

ALL MEN . . .
. . . BUT
to water down the gospel
by forsaking the sound doctrines
of the identity/nature  of The Messiah
IS JUST PLAIN SAD
And IS also surely
ERROR!!!
***
IF you are a praying person,
and God lays it upon your
heart to pray for these,
then pray that God
snatches them out of the Lies
before they join the ranks
of "the great falling away."

God can restore them.
Perhaps some of them
are simply searching.
But I have read that some
are filled with "the love of money"
and turning to homosexual tendencies.
This brings me much sadness.
I do NOT condemn them.
I am not their judge.
I only come to you so that you
will not be caught up in this error,
because, believe it or not,
it comes in quite by stealth
and sneakily.

UNTIL NEXT TIME:
GRACE & PEACE
BE WITH YOU,
GOD'S BELOVED.

PART 3 (Final): TONY TAKES ON THE E.T.P.T. DUDES!

YOU TEACHERS of the End-Times: 

You tell people, with great certainty

that Jesus is coming to earth

to set up "His Earthly Kingdom"

You tell people with great certainty

that Jesus is COMING in the CLOUDS

to "take His people home".

Let me discuss the fallacies I have

found in your doctrine:

1.  Jesus NEVER came to "set up

an earthly kingdom". That was

never His intention. His Kingdom

is God's Kingdom ... God's rule

and reign in the HEARTS of men.

It really has always been that way,

and it is even now. The kingdom HAS COME!

By not teaching the "nowness" of the

kingdom, you really block folks from

reaping the benefits from it in its entirety.

Revelations are greater than facts.

They are manifested to the heart

and realized in the natural.

Need scriptural proof?

OK.

But I will make you dig up the addresses.

"MY KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD"

NOT of this world-ly system,

or not of this KOSMOS.

Words of Jesus above there in quotes.

Not mine.

2.  You have just spent vast time in sermons

and in BOOKS telling people that ISRAEL

is God's People.

What does that make the Church?

An after=thought of God?

A bump in the Prophetic "timeline"?

NOPE.

Sorry.

You better read it again.

God said this about the Church:

"The FULLNESS OF HIM who fills ALL in All"

{Ephesians 1:23}

You are confusing the people of God

by telling them one day that the Church

is God's people,

but the next Israel is God's people.

THERE IS ONLY ONE PEOPLE OF GOD!

Go back & read all of Paul's letters.

[Give ya a hint:

It's a spiritual concept.]

You'll find the answer there!

3.  Again, you tell people with

great certainty that if they belong

to Christ, that they will be raptured out.

That the "one who hinders" mentioned

in 2 Thessalonians is the Holy Spirit.

IF you remove the Church then,

you remove the Holy Spirit, too, right?

THEN TELL ME

How do you expect people to "get saved"

during a "tribulation"

without the Holy Spirit,

the very one who was sent

to the earth so that people

might become "born again"

or 'saved'?

I prefer to say

"receive the promised Holy Spirit,

forgiveness of sins,

salvation and deliverance

to experience the righteousness of God

which is a gift, that Christ died for--

reconciling the WHOLE WORLD to God!"

What do you think people are getting

saved from?

Hell?

Poured-out Wrath?

Or rather a downward spiral of sin

and misery without knowing

the righteousness of God within?

Do you really preach The Gospel?

Do you KNOW what The Gospel says???

FINALLY

4. You preach & teach & tell people

emphatically that Jesus is coming

back, so that He can remove

the Church (because they are in the way),

He's coming back a THIRD TIME

to set up an "earthly rule"

and then vengeance & wrath will

be poured out upon the remainder

of inhabitants on earth ...

who did not "accept Christ as Savior"

wrath upon all the Jews

who did not "accept their Messiah"

WHILE IN FACT

you miss whole passages

STATEMENTS OF JESUS

who answered His Disciples' 2 questions:

a. When will these things be *and*

b. What will be the sign of your coming.

JESUS ANSWERED THEM.

He gave direct information

regarding the destruction of Jerusalem

and The Temple,

and HOW WE WAS COMING BACK.

YES, I said HOW.

******************

What you have done O Teachers

is YOU have presented a hodge-podge

of scriptures, from several sources

tried to make them all agree

and say the same thing

added many words & phrases

that sound good

sound "churchy"

or "christianesey"

When in fact many of the concepts

you put out are NOT in the Bible AT ALL,

and most of it is based upon a vision

from a little girl long ago,

who also dabbled in the occult!

Placing most of the emphasis upon a

future time, giving false hope to people

especially the elderly --

creating sensational scenarios,

weaving fantastic interpretations

of prophesies, which in some

cases have already been fulfilled.

And you have not divided the word accurately yourselves.

---------------------------------------------------------

I CAN, BY THE SCRIPTURES SHOW

that Jesus DID in fact return

Just as He said

In The Mode of Judgment

He foretold.

But some of you may not agree

Some of you may be offended

Some of you may think

'he's gone off the deep end'.

But before you "write me off"

Remember in the gospel of John

Jesus told his disciples that

He would return to them . . .

BUT  He was talking about

through the manifestation

of The Holy Spirit!

*Study John, chapters 13-17*

You will see.

Of course, you must free yourself

from the confines of the KJV.

Not the most accurate version of the Bible.

WORDS MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

ESPECIALLY IN TRANSLATION.

<<< The Body of Christ must turn from

fables and myths and read the Scriptures

for themselves, in entirety

interpreting according to the sane laws

of logic, hermeneutics and Holy Spirit

GUIDANCE. >>>

Now, regarding Jesus' Second Coming:

That will have to be the very next blog!!

*SORRY!*

but . . . PLEASE stick with me.

I promise that you will have

plenty to chew on

by the time I'm done.

************************************

LOVE AND PEACE AND GRACE TO ALL GOD'S BELOVED!!!

UNTIL NEXT TIME
