THE WORD PHOBE HAS TWO (2) MEANINGS!  May I please set one thing straight once and for all: I am not scared.

Below is an excellent 3.5 minute teaching on why Christians can not accept as O. K. what G-d says is sin.

On This Day – 22 Shevat

Before anyone writes any snide or nasty comments about G-d not being real let me explain something to you:

You can not tell me that my husband does not exist.  Why?

      • I know him personally and many others know him also.  
      • I have seen the way that he has changed my life.  For the better!
      • I have seen the times that he has protected me from physical, emotional, spiritual harm.
      • He has literally saved my life, being willing to die in the process.  And without blinking an eye.
      • He has given me things that I know could only have come from him, because he was the only one that knew I wanted them.
      • We have personal, intimate talks.
      • When I praise him, he draws closer to me and wants to give me anything I want (that is not detrimental to myself or others).
      • He loves me and I love him.
      • And the list goes on, and on, and on.
      • He is real.

I KNOW my husband exists: I have a close, personal relationship with him.  The same with G-d.  He has done all of those things for me, too:

      • I know him personally and many others know him also.
      • I have seen the way that he has changed my life.  For the better!
      • I have seen the times that he has protected me from physical, emotional, spiritual harm.
      • He has literally saved my life, being willing to die in the process.  And without blinking an eye.
      • He has given me things that I know could only have come from him, because he was the only one that knew I wanted them.
      • We have personal, intimate talks.
      • When I praise him, he draws closer to me and wants to give me anything I want.
      • He loves me and I love him.
      • And the list goes on, and on, and on.
      • He is real.

When someone has grown green beans in their back yard for 20 years, they know they are real.  You cannot convince someone who has experienced something that it does not exist.  Can’t be done.  And there are far too many of us that have experienced His love and work in our lives, and it has been experienced ever since mans creation.  It is not a fluke.  Nor is it imagination.

Many believe in, or even  serve, a deity that is not even alive.  Our G-d is.  And always will be.

I want to see if those opposed to our beliefs actually read this whole article:

If you don’t agree, please just keep your “corrections”, “your truths”, and what ever else you may call them to yourself.  I will not believe them. If you do insist on leaving that type of comment, be assured that I will be praying for you to come to know Christ as we do.  And I ask every other believer that reads this to do the same.

So, as Dirty Harry said, “You’ve got to ask yourself one question: ‘Do I feel lucky?’ Well, do ya?”[***]

Sorry, I just could not resist.  But, do ya’?
