Good morning Tuesday....
Father, be with us when the only thing we can even ask for is peace. Be in the big moments, the little moments, the in-between and uncertain moments. Thank You that You Are, “…not a God of disorder but of peace” (1 Corinthians 14:33) and that Your Peace, “transcends all understanding, (and) will guard (our) hearts and (our) minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7). Help us to trust in Your Word and in this verse. “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit” (Romans 15:13). We are so glad You’re The One True God and My Father who understands—even when the world doesn’t. In Your Mighty Name we pray.... Amen!
Strapping Up - The Full Armor of God
“Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the Sword of The Spirit, which is the Word of God;”
Ephesians 6:14-17
“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12
-Strapping Up
Before one sounds the shofar (warning horn) and wages spiritual warfare, they must put on their spiritual armor. Each element of a soldier's armor is symbiotic with the other elements and offers complete fortitude on the battlefield of spiritual opposition. Indeed, the meaning of the word armor suggests parts, an assembly, not just one piece.
How is one to have a strong working faith if they don't have on their belt of Truth? How about faith without the breastplate of righteousness? Or the if one doesn't take the helmet of salvation, how can they shod their feet with the preparation of The Gospel of Peace? They can't!
If someone does not have a revelation of their righteousness by living in Christ, the enemy will successfully drag that person down into the pit of self condemnation each and every time they make the slightest mistake. The Sword of the Spirit, which is The Word of God, won't work for anyone who doesn't wield it in faith.
Want the good news? If you are a born-again Jesus Loving, Yeshua Following believer... You Have Authority! Our Commander and King Yeshua, Jesus Christ gave it to you. Faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, His Word, and His Name is what gives you the strength to wield the sword. Wield it wisely and no evil can stand against you. For if God is for you, who can be against you? Tell em Paul:
“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?”
Romans 8:31
God Bless Everyone and have a Great God-Filled day. Remember, if you are headed into the unknown today, spiritual warfare, or just need some help getting out the door... Strap Up! May the Full Armor of God be with you all!

Supposing there was a group of people traveling about your area, led by a charismatic speaker who claims that the world is ending soon. He promises he alone can save you, but only if you sell your belongings, devote the rest of your life to him, and cut off family members who try to stop you.
He also wants to change your name, advises you to leave your home/job if necessary to follow him, and says that if you don’t love him more than your own family, you’re not worthy of him. What sort of group is that?

Sounds like a blessed group to me. You can never imagine the Joy, Peace, Comfort, and Love that I have experienced since I lost everything. This includes family and all. I serve with vigor and enthusiasm, gain new friends in Christ everyday, and sleep better than I have in my entire life. Do a little reseach @alexbeyman and you will find out He is the Real Deal. No other historical document on the face of the earth has the credibility The Bible Does... and it has more credibility by leaps and bounds. You can find secular, religious, atheists, and any other category of people and they will tell you the same if they are telling the Truth. It is a scientific, historic, and evidence based fact. Look into it. You are afraid to lose something, but you have no idea what you gain. Think about it... If God wrote a book, what would it be? Probably the best selling book of all time in the entire history of man... It is. Think about it... if God had a Son, who would He be? Probably the most controversial, most written about, most famous and heavily studied man in the history of man kind... He is. You can continue to feel negative about Jesus Christ because of what others have told you, their opinions, and how you have let the world shape your thoughts, but just a small amount of research and you will see He is the most credible person to ever walk the face of the earth. We have been lied to my friend. We are not where we were told we were, and what we have been told is going on... is a lie. If you have seen the things i have seen it is easy to believe, but if you haven't truly taken a long hard research, historical, and scientific study of what is truly credible... it is difficult to know the Truth. Just think about this... if Jesus Christ is God, and He walked the face of this earth... that means He was the single smartest person to ever walk the face of the earth. If that is true... wouldn't it be wise to listen? I can't convince you of the Truth... noone can. You must take a look yourself and decide for yourself after looking into it long and hard. Don't listen to man, read the Bible, do the research, and decide for yourself after an honest evealuation. Ask God to show you. You might just be surprised at what He shows you. Once you find out the sheer number who have tried to prove the Bible and Jesus wrong, then converted immediately upon learning the Truth... you will know for yourself something is up. Most all of these former atheists and now Jesus followers have multiple Ph.D's. I got nothing but love for you Brother. I am not righteous, i am a sinner, but i tell you this... i am free from all the horrible things that plagued my life before i met The Only One Who Was Ever Righteous. Get a copy of "A Case For Christ" and read it if you really want to have your eyes opened... facts can't be denied. Well, they can, but that is sillyness. I am going to pray for you my man. I hope you take a long hard look into it... you may just find something you weren't expecting. You may just have your life changed and feel much different about the comments you would make today. And you may just... find God. God Bless Brother and i hope you find what you are looking for. Sincerely, Servant of Yeshua 7

Paragraphs exist. Breaking your writing into them will greatly improve readability.

Okay, I'll bite. Who? Provide citations. Also explain why the vastly higher number of converts from Christianity to atheism don't count.
I can imagine. I know many Mormons, Hindus, Buddhists and Muslims who say their religions also give them the peace you speak of.
It says the Earth existed before the sun, the sun before all other stars, and birds before land animals. Science has shown these claims to be false. The Bible also describes a flat, disc shaped Earth covered by a dome shaped 'firmament', something discovered since that time to be false.

PS: I am a former movie producer. The illuminati is 100% real. I had my great awakening when i was invited to the club. I could have never imagined that the people i was working with and hanging around were satan worshipers who sacrifice children and run pedophile rings. It was a big wake up call. You almost can't name a big star that is not invilolved. Those people will tell you to do whatever you want, but they are just trying to currupt you and "do whatever you want" is the only commandment in the satanists bible. I know the story of Jesus seems counterintuitive, but that is only because the world has been feeding us the same old stuff since birth trying to program us to think God and The Bible are a fairy tale. It turms out the world lies and God is honest. The Truth will set you free... but it will most likely tick you off a little first once you find out how manipulated amd lied to we have all been. Again, i really do pray you look into it. And also again, be careful listening to man... they will lead you astray most of the time with opinions and crafty words. Do the research and then decide for yourself. Whether we like it or not... The Truth is The Truth. Peace my man. Sincerely, Servant of Yeshua 7

Boogity boogity to you as well. Use paragraphs please.
I agree, but you don't have the truth. You're deceived in exactly the same way as Mormons and Muslims, but you don't realize it for the same reasons they don't. Religions are designed to prevent you from recognizing what you're in and how it works.

I will pray for you @alexbeyman. You don't have any sources and all you are using to defend your position is a faulty opinion. You regurgitating things someone else told you. That's dangerous man. Make fun, insult, and visciouly comment on anyone's blog you want, but it won't get you anywhere. We live in an age where if you really want to find The Truth... you can... so no excuses when you wind up in a bind and have nowhere to turn. When you end up in that bind, remember... God is still there waiting on you. Just cry out His Name. Again, i pray you find what you are looking for... Peace to you and God Bless.

My argument rests on scriptural analysis. What sources do I need, besides the same one you're using?
Your beliefs come from the Bible, aka something that the authors of the Bible told you. Everybody's beliefs come from other people in one form or another.
Huh? Where did I insult you? Where was I vicious? Do you feel attacked when somebody simply disagrees with you?
If that were true, there would be no ex-Christians, but there are plenty. So clearly it is possible to deconvert people.
Indeed, I am trying to help you do that. Here yo go:

How come the Jewish children in concentration camps during the Holocaust received no help from God? Do you think they didn't cry out his name?

Come one man... you can't say God doesn't exist, The Bible isn't credible, and then use it as your source. You discredit yourself that way. I use it because it is indeed the most credible source in the entire world, proven by the most educated scholars, and verified with archeology, geology, and secular historians as well.

So you cannot discredit the Qur'an using verses it contains? What about the Book of Mormon? When you cite verses in the Book of Mormon to show which parts are plagiarized, historically inaccurate or whatever else, are you tacitly validating Mormon beliefs by doing so?
Think about that. Simply referencing a book you're evaluating the credibility of doesn't mean you're validating it. There's no way to argue against a set of claims without referencing them.
No, not really. Christian apologists say this but it is wildly untrue. Bart Ehrman has some good books on this topic you could benefit from reading.
