The Gospel Of the Kingdom In Matthew. (235)

“The gospel”. Gospel of Christ, Gospel of the cross, Gospel of Calvary, Gospel of Jesus Christ, all the same thing folks. There is a lot more to these “gospels” than just salvation, and It’s all about JESUS.

In your Bible study, reading Matthew and the other gospels, Jesus tells us all about His death, burial and resurrection, salvation, heaven, Godly living, judgement, his second coming and our reward. He marked those teachings with “the Kingdom”. and all of his apostles built upon these teachings. I call it Jesus’s playbook. Read the associated texts in your study.

  2 Timothy 2:15: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Matthew 3And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

 7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:

And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.

14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?

15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.

16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Matthew 4

18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Matthew 7

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

Matthew 9 35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

Matthew 10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Matthew 10:37

32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

Matthew 11:

27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Matt 12

32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

Matthew 13:

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 13 24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:

Mt 13:31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:

Matt 13:44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

Matthew 52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

Matthew 16:  Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

Matt 17: And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:

23 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.

 Mt 18

At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.

Matthew 20: For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.

18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,

19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.

Matthew 21:  Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

Mt 22: The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,

Mt 25:Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

Mt 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

Mt 26:

26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.

31 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.

32 But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

God Bless!

How to debate a Calvinist and a Muslim (234)

That title probably sounds pretty crazy, but not really. Bear with me.

If you know anything about Calvinist doctrines, you will find an EEEIRY similarity between Calvinism and Islam.

So if you’ve ever debated a Calvinist, a Muslim would be a piece of cake. Why? Because they are essentially the same religion.

5 pillars, 5 petals, same doctrines, both dead end religions, both fatalistic nonsense. Much more to come!

God bless!

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.


17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 11:25; Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

Romans 10:9 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.

Defending your faith as a Christian. The liberty of a miracle. (33)

I often debate evolutionists and atheists. While it’s a given that atheists and evolutionists will deny a six day creation, and call Jesus Resurrection a myth, Or an outright lie, all too often I run into BELIEVERS who say that they believe Jesus rose from the dead according to the scriptures, but then take issue with the Genesis scriptural account of a literal 6/24 hour day creation week.
I cannot understand how one can believe the scriptures about the resurrection of Jesus, LITERALLY, but not believe the LITERAL creation account as read in the same Scriptures.

It boggles my mind.

Objectively speaking, It seems to me that a man who possesses the power to defy death, and reverse the laws of nature would be much harder to accept than that a story of an unseen God creating the universe and everything in it in six 24 hour days.

How can a person say they believe one part of the Bible that sounds absolutely incredible to a non believer, the Resurrection, but deny the other part that records a 6 day creation? It makes no sense to me.

The following is a rebuttal I have used many times in the past.

It has stopped many doubting Christians and evolutionists dead in their tracks, and left atheists hissing and spitting, and cursing and crawling back into their holes.
It is simple and profound, and to date, I have never had anyone give me a coherent rebuttal to it. This came from my own experiences, and my own conclusions at a time when I was wrestling with the Genesis account of the creation week.

.

The atheist can be assured of only one thing, and this fate is a certainty he cannot deny: IF he is right, All he has to look forward to is death.
If he is wrong, again all he has to look forward to is death, but an eventual judgement, then condemnation, and eternal separation from a loving, merciful Creator. 

 Either way, his fate remains the same because he has denied Jesus, his only way of Salvation and eternal life. 

It makes no sense to me. 

 The following is a rebuttal I have used many times in the past.

It has stopped many doubting Christians and evolutionists dead in their tracks, and left atheists hissing and spitting, and cursing and crawling back into their holes.
It is simple and profound, and to date, I have never had anyone give me a coherent rebuttal to it. This came from my own experiences, and my own conclusions at a time when I was wrestling with the Genesis account of the creation week.

I have used this response, and the ones that follow many times over the years. It is very effective.

 While this response points believers back to the Saviour. It also drives atheists and evolutionists absolutely bonkers. They cannot stand for you to bring up the resurrection of Jesus, mainly because It brings points to the table that few atheists want to, or are even prepared to address or refute, and when it happens, the ball game is over. Go ahead and put up the mop, and take out the trash. Pack up the balls and bats. At this point, the debate has ended. You have pricked his heart, strengthened onlooking believers, and shared the Gospel. 

 This is a bit short, but basically, this response also explains some of the the similarities and profound differences between a believer, and an atheist or evolutionist.

 Paul the Apostle said “If Christ be not risen, your faith is in vain, and ye are still in your sins”, (1 Corinthians 15:17), confirming the Resurrection, a documented miracle. This is the foundation rock of Christianity, a miracle. Paul bet the farm on the Resurrection, and chose to give up his head to Nero Ceaser rather than deny his witness of the risen Christ. 11 of The 12 Apostles also chose death before recanting their witness of the risen Christ. John was the only Apostle who was not martyred, but not from a lack of persecution. The Romans boiled him alive and he was unhurt, so they exiled him to Patmos. 

John died a natural death at an age of well over a hundred

These men’s testimony, as well as Jesus himself, gives the Christian, relying on confirmed, verifiable historical documents, and the full liberty of miracles and metaphysical events to explain his faith.

Furthermore, as strictly historical accounts, the Old Testament and New Testament are the most accurate, verifiable and confirmed texts known to man.

By their own admission though, the atheist and evolutionist does not have such historical documentation, not the liberty of “miracles” to explain his faith.

By his own belief system, he can only rely on “the scientific method”, which makes no provision for the unseen, yet tangible, also known as the metaphysical or spiritual.

Ironically, his faith in “the scientific method” is the foundation rock of his faith. This is his idol.

He will confirm to you that he cannot use the metaphysical or supernatural without admitting a measure of faith in the unseen or the unknown.

The hypocrisy in all this is that while he is denying faith, he will invariably admit his faith, such as his belief in the “big bang” and “mother nature”, just to name a few. They adamantly deny faith outwardly, yet their whole belief system is grounded in faith. And a great deal of it as well. But, if he acknowledges THAT, he opens a door to faith in God, basically admitting that it is possible that there IS a God, hence no denial, and he’s defeated his own argument. Game over.

 In closing, the atheist, who must rely solely on the “scientific method”, has a belief system, but won’t admit it. Yet he has no evidence, No proof. No promise, no hope, and no future. All he has to look forward to is death, and eternal separation from a loving Creator God. 

 You will never hear an atheist say “ok, you’ve convinced me”, “you win”. Never. So don’t ever make winning the debate your goal, make sharing the truth of the Gospel, the Resurrection of our Saviour your goal.

You will not convert him on the spot, don’t expect that either, but just as vinegar can crumble limestone, so can the Gospel eventually crumble a heart of stone. 

With this simple rebuttal, which is profound on so many levels, you will share the Gospel, and also strengthen and empower other Christians, who will use this response in defending their faith for the rest of their lives.

But, if he acknowledges THAT, he opens a door to faith in God, basically admitting that it is possible that there IS a God, hence no denial, and he’s defeated his own argument. Game over. 

 Again, “The liberty of the supernatural” approach I have used in “reasoning” with atheists and evolutionists in the past is this one, which usually comes after an acknowledgement of my faith, it goes something like this, and it was refined in part by watching the Dawkins/Lennox debates:

“The Christian faith IS based on a miracle, a documented confirmed one at that. It is the most confirmed, documented and historically verifiable event in human history, that of a man, Jesus of Nazareth, dying on a cross, being buried in a borrowed tomb, and coming back from the dead after three days, by his own power (John 10:17). Once risen, he then proclaimed “all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth” (Matt 28:18).
Moreover, he promises that all who believe, and follow him will be resurrected, by his power unto him, and live forever after. (John 11:20-26 KJV).

No one would argue that coming back to life after three days dead can be called a “miracle.” Especially a man who had been beaten almost to death, then crucified, and died before many witnesses. On top of this, after death, he was pierced through both lungs and his heart. 

 As a Christian, I would be a fool to not believe that a man who has the power to reverse the laws of nature, and do the same for others, also has full power and authority to do pretty much whatever he chooses, to whatever or whoever he chooses, in whatever manner so suits him, whenever he takes the notion, so a six day creation is a no brainer for me. I believe it just as confidently as I believe Jesus rose from the dead.

  I don’t know all the details, my finite mind has a limited grasp. But God said it, that’s good enough. I cannot deny it.

No authentic Christian can deny the Resurrection either, he is unable to, powerless to do so. Denial of it is not in his Constitution or his nature. He will die before denying his Saviour. 

As a Christian so resolutely believes the Resurrection, he is also strengthened by the knowledge that death no longer has any power over him. 

 By contrast, the atheist or evolutionist is just as resolute in his faith, but gleans no strength or comfort from his faith. Outwardly, he must claim to rely strictly on the “scientific method”, yet he too has a faith based belief, but unlike the Christian, or creationist, he does not have the liberty of miracles.

He also has no evidence. Only a “theory”, “a philisophical leaning”. “Natural selection” is the foundation rock of his faith. But besides his feelings and “opinion”, he has no proof, no promise, no hope, and no future.
In this life, as long as he holds to his beliefs, The atheist can be assured of only one thing, and this fate is a certainty he cannot deny: IF he is right, All he has to look forward to is death.
If he is wrong, again all he has to look forward to is death, but an eventual judgement, then condemnation, and eternal separation from a loving, merciful Creator. 

 Either way, his fate remains the same because he has denied Jesus, his only way of Salvation and eternal life. 

 In closing, the atheist, who must rely solely on the “scientific method”, has a belief system, but won’t admit it. Yet he has no evidence, No proof. No promise, no hope, and no future. All he has to look forward to is death, and eternal separation from a loving Creator God.

A natural remedy for psoriasis and dandruff. (233).

Copyright 2023 jaedixon@aol.com

The purpose of this post is to share with you my personal experience and my natural remedy for psoriasis and dandruff.

Now this may not work for you,  but it is harmless, little to lose, and it worked for me.

The least I can do is to share it with you.

To me it’s a remedy that works.

My hope is that will boost yourself confidence.

My hope is that it will boost your self esteem.

This protocol if you will, relieved my symptoms and actually thickened my hair, and it gave me renewed hair growth on my hairline.

Again, you may not get these results, but I did, and the best part was no more snowflakes!

For years, since my youth, I had embarrassing snowflakes, and it was very discouraging.  I had given up.

I tried different remedies , H@S, T gel, you name it.

None of them worked for very long. One day it dawned on me that there was one thing that might be worth a try.

I have a lot of experience using colloidal silver and I know its benefits and usefulness, I just had never tried it for dandruff. 

There are dandruff shampoos ONLINE that contain colloidal silver, so I knew it was safe. If you try this protocol,I strongly recommend buying and using colloidal silver shampoo on a continuing basis.

So, I gave it a try.

Today, 6 or so months later,  I have a renewed self-confidence, and my hair is better at 54 than it was when I was 50.

This product is relatively inexpensive l, and it’s safe,  you can actually make it at home, which I do, but for this, I used commercially made 60ppm I got from a trusted vendor on Ebay.

With that being said, I’d also like to say that there are many over the counter  products that will work for psoriases, but the reason they’re not very effective for a lot of people is simply because of the way that they apply it.

The key?: RUB IT IN, (gently, for a few minutes) and give it a few minutes.

I’ll say more to that is as I move along  but just so you’ll know I found MY answer in colloidal silver.

Now contrary to what you might read on the big Pharma sponsored websites, colloidal silver is perfectly safe, and it has been in use for hundreds of years. It is used in hospitals and medical supplies.,and it’s use is INCREASING.

Silver was in use quite a lot before big Pharma came along, but that’s for another story.  Read up on it.

Silvadene for burns contains colloidal silver, curad bandaids , and many other items contain silver.

Silver SULPHATE or Silver Chloride is a whole different subject, so don’t confuse the three. And do NOT use them to treat dandruff.

My point is it’s non-toxic,  and it won’t turn your hair or your skin blue. It is also oderless, and unlike the shampoos,  you don’t have to rinse it out. I believe THAT is one reason it is so effective.

Before beginning this protocol, I would recommend that you test it on a small area of your skin to make sure that you don’t have any allergies or bad reactions to this remedy (not a cure). Rub it in.

It worked for me, your results may vary , but there is little to lose by trying.

The secret of it all it basically depends on the application.

Your results will depend on how you go about treating it, and how persistent that you are with this.

A one time application, or twice will not do the trick. It took me a few days of repeated applications daily to see results, and a few weeks before I saw no more need to continue.

To begin, apply, saturating the hair and scalp, massage it in gently for several minutes, then allow it to dry. No rinsing is needed, then wait a day or so before the next application.

I am very confident and comfortable using colloidal silver, so I used it frequently during a short period of time.  The results that you get will be based on the frequency of application, and the manner in which you work it into your hair and scalp.

This is a remedy, not a cure, but if done properly will produce lasting results. It has made my life better, and I hope that it makes your life better too.

Again I make no claim to expertise, and I don’t claim to be a dermatologist, I just know what worked for me, and I am sharing it with you.

I was at the end of my rope and I tried this basically because I had not tried it. It was one of the few products left out there.

Because of previous extensive use of colloidal silver, I knew that it wouldn’t hurt to try,  so with nothing to lose,  that’s what I did. And it worked very well for me. 

Colloidal silver water can can be used in conjunction with other products as well. 

You can add colloidal silver water to dandruff shampoo, and even buy such products online. Eye drops, ear drops, antibiotic cream and many more products are made with silver.

   Ok cut to the chase: here goes:

The secret: to dandruff controll: I have learned the key to any remedy concerning dandruff or psoriasis , even eczema  is to work it in gently.  Before and afterwards, brush out the dandruff.

Any like product works a thousand times better if it is worked into the scalp gently over a period of a few minutes. The best thing about colloidal silver is you DO NOT need to wash it out. It is oderless and won’t stain, so I let my hair air dry after treatment. 

That is the secret. Don’t just put it on and let it set. You have to actually massage it in and GENTLY work it down into the skin for several minutes  This makes it makes it so much more effective,  and it also massages your scalp and stimulates renewed hair growth,  at least it did for me. 

Again, this is my colloidal silver remedy. I’m not trying to sell silver or endorse a particular product.  I’m just sharing a blessing.

I used 60 PPM colloidal silver available on eBay. Send me an email and I’ll be glad to direct you to the product. (Jaedixon@aol)

I used 60 PPM, but personally believe 10 ppm would have worked just fine.

The first step: If you have short hair, thats great. Of you don’t, long hair may take longer.

I believe short hair makes the treatment time shorter and easier, and you will require a lot less product per application. 

I am not a scientist or dermatologist, but my opinion is at least one pathogen that causes dandruff resides also in the hair follicles, which is one reason it is so hard to treat.

In other words, if you were to cure the scalp, it would wind up returning because it’s also in your hair, so the entire mass needs to be saturated each application.

   Most people with dandruff will also notice that they have flakes in their eyebrows , eyelashes, even in their mustache or their beard.

There are many different theories about what causes dandruff and different types, but  I found this is very effective for ME. Might not work for you, but it is worth a shot. Drop me a line if it works for you.

The first step is to wet the scalp with the silver water product.  saturate the hair, and just in a leisurely gentle manner massage your scalp with it for several minutes, then either let it air dry , or towel dry or cover it with a shower cap for even longer saturation, and towel dry afterwards.

It is that simple. That’s all there is to it. I found that it worked better after a long gentle scalp massage.  

Pure, commercially available silver water is non-staining and non-toxic (it says so on the label), nd there’s no smell, none at all , I think that is what I liked most about it.  You can leave it in. 

And I noticed that after applying it to my scalp, it seemed to invigorate me.

But again your results may Vary

Initially, I would put this on my hair for several applications per day, I also kept the snowflakes brushed out of my hair between applications.

Initially I did this during my time off. At the time I started, I had a week off and I didn’t have a whole lot to do,  so if I found myself still for a time,  watching television or something, I would spray my hair wet, and massage it into my scalp.

After a few days of this, I noticed that my scalp didn’t itch as often, or as bad.

I used a spray bottle with colloidal silver 60 PPM in it, and I would simply spray my scalp and I would gently massage the silver water into my scalp, including my face, my eyebrows, forehead and my sideburns.

I then took a brush and I gently brushed all the dandruff out of my hair, and then I repeated the application process. Spray, saturate, massage, then let dry. 

I did this in the mornings and before bed, and at least three or four times during the day for a week.

I continued this over a period of about 3 weeks I suppose, and after a month or so I had remarkable results.  

I still use it after the shower a few times a week, but today, there is no more itching and no more snowflakes.

It has boosted my self esteem and my confidence.  It literally changed my attitude and outlook on life.

  I do still have dandruff , but it is not noticeable. I still see a few flakes, but nothing on the scale that it once was.

With that being said, it’s also important to note that dandruff shampoos, WILL WORK if used in the same or similar manner,

But they smell, they stain, and must be rinsed out shortly after application, and they can’t be applied as often since they will irritate the scalp after frequent repeated application. 

I have tried them all with limited results. Silver was the solution for me.

Another upside to silver water is it can be used in concert with dandruff shampoos. But the beauty of silver water is it can be used anywhere, anytime you get a moment. You don’t have to wait til shower time.

I make no claim to expertise or any medical knowledge , I’m just sharing what I did, what I used, and what worked for me.

To increase the effectiveness of dandruff shampoos,  I would lather it up and then massage it in gently of course, then let it sit at least several minutes, then rinse well.

I  find that the problem with the Tgel and dandruff shampoo is I wasn’t able to repeat the process as many times, or as often as I could with colloidal silver.

The others can irritate your scalp with repeated applications. And they smell. And you have to get in the shower to use them. Not so with colloidal silver water. 

Colloidal silver water did not irritate me at all, there is no odor or smell, and it made my hair silky smooth.

I would also use dandruff shampoo daily before shower I would put it on my skull my scalp and I’d lather it up and I would let it sit and massage it in for a few minutes before I even got in the shower,  and then of course I rinse it out during the course of taking a shower.

  Within a couple months, my scalp health improved dramatically. 

In closing again,  for folks that like short hair, I’d recommend getting the buzz cut and shaving the beard or mustache before you begin. The less hair you have to deal with, the better.

After a few weeks of this regimen I noticed my flakes were gone

There was no more snow.

And my hair was beginning to thicken. it has now been 6 months

I treat my scalp about twice a week now and I usually spray some in my hair in the mornings and after I get out of the shower.

To my surprise,  my receding hairline has started going back in the other direction! That’s been a most thrilling part of this whole experience.

I’m 54, and I have a fine head of hair,  but again this is a testimony,  it may not work for you but it worked for me.

My self confidence is through the roof, and I get compliments on my hair all the time. I am 54 and I have the head of 20 year old.

Finally, not only is silver good for dandruff, but it’s also good for many other things I plan to share in detail in another writing.

Silver is useful for parvo, food poisoning, athlete’s foot, Burns, scrapes, Cuts, boils, acne, worry lines ,wrinkles, scars and hundreds of other uses.

In closing, I strongly suggest you research and do your homework, learn about colloidal silver. 

Learn  about the wonderful benefits of colloidal silver, thank you, and I hope this has been a blessing in you!

God bless you!

The Second coming of The Lord Jesus. (232)

Ferry Road Baptist Church 4/16/2023

Copyright 2023 James Dixon.

There seems to be a lot of confusion about the Rapture and the Second Coming of the Lord. The purpose of this post is to help see the difference in the two.

The Bible tells us the rapture will occur without warning “like a thief in the night”, (1 Thess 5:2), whereas the second coming of Jesus with us will be preceded by many signs.

I have encountered very few Christians that fully understand the end times eschatology in the Bible. The purpose of this post is to tie everything together that is easy to understand, easy to articulate, and MAKES SENSE.

This started as a Sunday school lesson for a Sunday.

I gathered a few scriptures off the top of my head and posted them in such a way so as to “paint the picture” and tell the story concerning The Rapture and the second coming of Jesus, and the Day of the Lord.. There are many other scriptures that also help to explain this.

If you will read these scriptures in the order listed, it will help you make sense of it all. Study and verify.

I pray this is a blessing to you.

1 Thessalonians 5:9-10 says: For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

Saints today will not see the Tribulation, but there will be believers that come to Christ after we are gone. Many of these will die as martyrs in the Tribulation, but praise be to God, we will not be part of that company. Jesus tells us this many times in his word.

Revelation 3:10 “I will spare you from the hour of trial that is to come upon all the earth”.

After describing the Rapture, Paul tells us to “comfort one another with these words” in 1 Thess 4:16-18.

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

1 Thess 5:11: Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

Many Christians worry about the future and the end times. Something we have no control over.

Paul tells us to live in the day, 1 Thess 5:1-11,

But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

and Jesus tells us to take no thought for tomorrow: Mt :34 Therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. 

So turn off the news, stop worrying about world events, and get out and enjoy life!

Here is more assurance we will not have to worry about the tribulation or the mark of the beast.

Jesus tells us more about Rapture in Luke 17:34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. 35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Day and night, clearly a worldwide event no one is looking for.

As Christians, John tells us to live in such a way so as to not be ashamed when Jesus appears for us and takes us to heaven.

1 John 2:28. And now little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. 

More assurance is found in Malachi 3:16-18 “I will spare you” 17 And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

This is the Rapture in the Old Testament. Jesus mentions it again in John 14:1-5. Then Paul mentions it in 1 Thess 4:17, and again in 1 Cor 15:52. Jesus mentions it again in Revelation 3:3,6, rev 21:7, 12.

Another promise from the Lord in the book of John:

John 14:1-5 “I will come again and receive you unto myself” (Jesus takes us to a wedding in heaven for 7 years).

Rev 19:9 And he saith unto me, write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

Paul describes it further in 1 Corinthians 15:52 “in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye” (pre tribulation rapture).

And in 1 Thess 4:13-17 “the dead in Christ shall rise first”. This is one of the harvests of the first resurrection, the barley. Rapture is 1 Thess 4:16, LIVING saints, the first fruits wheat. All harvests start with a long blast of a shofar, and end with a Trump. The olives, wheat, grapes and gleanings follow. Rev 11:11, Rev 14:16, Rev 14:19, and Rev 20:4-6. (See my other posts “each in his own order” and “the end of the world is the harvests, and the reapers are the angels”.)

Many preachers and teachers today tell us Jesus did not teach rapture, and that the rapture is only found in the New Testament in Paul’s epistles, “a mystery revealed only to Paul” but that is not true.

Again, Old Testament Rapture: Malachi 3:16-17 “I will gather my jewels, then shall ye return, and judge” ( The rapture and return of the saints found in the Old Testament). In the NT, also see 1 Thess 4:13-17, and Rev 19. Also see IS 26:19-20.

More supporting scripture here: There are many many others.

1 Thessalonians 3:13 “Jesus returns with all his saints.” You have to LEAVE before you can return.

1 Cor 6:2 “know ye not that the saints shall judge the world?”. Ties right in with Malachi 3:16-18.

Mt 24:29-30 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Again, the rapture will not be preceded by any signs, while the Lord’s return with his saints will not be a surprise. A 200 million man army will be waiting to fight him at Armegeddon. And the earth will have a 16 hour day at this time as well. Rev 8:12 A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.

Painting the picture here:

Jesus returns ALONE initially, and destroys the antichrist, THEN he opens the door of heaven and we return with him. Rev 19.

IS 63:3 “I tread the winepress alone”.

This after the war in heaven and satan being cast down to the earth. As for us during this time: “go into your Chambers as it were, (in heaven) until the indignation has passed”. (Rev 11:18, IS 26:19-20).

Jesus returns ALONE to fight this battle. There is much more to be done after this though.

Afterwards, he opens the door to heaven, and we return with him, with his vesture already stained with the blood from Armageddon. (Rev 19, Rev 14:20).

(IS 63:3 “I tread the winepress alone, and of the people, there are none with me”)

Rev 14:20.  And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

Zechariah 14:7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord — neither day nor night; but it shall come to pass that at evening time it shall be light.

Joel 2:1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand;2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.

Joel 2:30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.

Joel 2:11 And the Lord shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?

Rev 14:20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

Then:

Revelation 19:

11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. (Blood from Armegeddon).

Rev 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

“and the armies of heaven followed him” (the blood from Armegeddon already on his vesture). We return with the Lord.

And THEN: ALL the tribulation survivors, goats and sheep, wheat and tares are gathered by the angels to the Valley of Decision, for the saints to judge the world.

Matthew 24:31 31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

“gather mine elect” (surviving tribulation saints, the wicked are also gathered at this time also).

Matthew 13:40:

40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

“send out mine angels to gather all that offend” (surviving UNbelievers , and the surviving elect at Jesus return with us).

All gathered to one place for judgement:

Joel 3:14 “multitudes in the valley of decision” The world’s surviving population at the sheep goat judgement. We judge here. (1 Cor 6:2).

Matthew 25:31-41 This is the judgement of the nations.

The Saints here enter the kingdom as mortals, the wicked are executed by fire.

We rule and reign with Jesus in immortal glorified bodies. Rev 1:6, Rev 5:9-10, Rev 20:4-6.

Rev 1:6 “we are kings and priests unto God”

Revelation 5:9-10 “we shall reign on the earth”.

Be ready!

In closing, again, Don’t worry about tomorrow. If you believe in the Lord , your future is more glorious than you can comprehend. 1 Cor 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seennor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 

Matthew 24:42-51 “watch, for ye know not what hour your Lord will come”.

1 John 2:28 “abide in him so as to not stand ashamed when he appears for us.”

1 John 8-10 “if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us”. (Not concerning salvation,but fellowship and a clear conscience and so as to receive a full reward at judgement).

Ohh what a glorious future God has planned for us! Blessings!

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 11:25-26 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

Romans 10:9 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.

“Forgive and Ye shall be forgiven”: One of the most misunderstood verses in the Bible. (293)

I recently watched a YouTube video concerning a woman who was a serial killer. She had had decided to apologize to the victim’s families for murdering their loved one. A very noble, and honorable act. Such a thing is something almost unheard of concerning serial killers.

When she was asked about it, she said “I believe in Jesus, he has forgiven me, but when I die, on judgment day I can’t be forgiven if I don’t ask for forgiveness, and if I do not forgive, and apologize, then I will not be forgiven”

She said that in the sense that when she gets to judgment IF she has any unforgiven sins or unforgiveness in her heart that she would go to hell.

And that’s what I want to talk about.

The greatest misunderstanding concerning the verse “forgive, and you shall be forgiven”, is that it has something to do with your salvation, and many legalists will use it as a proof text to say that you could lose your salvation. To say one can lose salvation is to contradict many scriptures that say you CANNOT lose your salvation.

When Jesus said ” forgive, and ye shall be forgiven,” He was speaking in the sense “you will reap what you sow” in other words, whatever grudges, or unrepented, unconfessed sins you carry into judgment will cost you, but it’s not a deal breaker.

There are many examples of Jesus loving “unperfect believers” Jonah and Lot were just two. King David was another. They had their faults, they messed up, but it was not a deal breaker.

Now if you turn to the book Revelation, look at chapters two and three: we see the reading of the Ketubah.

The Ketubah is the marriage contract. It is the groom’s written contract, printed and signed by the groom and witnesses, which were the city elders. She got the original copy, it was irrevocable, and hers to keep.

It is a essentially a one way prenuptial agreement if you will , A lop sided deal. A one way contract: It’s all for the bride and none for the groom.

It is a list of promises that says if the bride does what she is supposed to do, he will do certain things as well.

And in there is a key sentence that says “I have a few things against you.”

What this basically means is “This is not a dealbreaker, but before we move forward from here, there are some things we need to talk about”. That is what judgment day will be like for many people.

Now if you read that chapter, and other places, it promises “to him who overcometh, I will grant power over the nations, to ” sit with me and my throne” “priests in my temple”, “a new name” a new name that nobody knows but you and the Lord:

So Jesus starts out commending the church for the good things they do, then he says “but I have a few things against you “, and then as you read on, and it continues, he admonishes him for it and he says “okay do this and I’ll do this” again repeating himself but “if you don’t do this I’ll do that what” he’s saying is If you bring sins into judgment they will be held against your REWARDS, it will not be an issue of your salvation it will not be a deal breaker.

Revelation 213 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.

14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.

15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.

16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

The Lord loves you unconditionally!, but just as a child to his parent, if the child misbehaves, or if it’s found out that the child did misbehave at some point and it was not addressed, or it wasn’t caught Then that child is chastened, but the fact that the child did wrong and was chastened, only confirms the fact that he is a child, he’s a child of God. You are a child of God, he loves you unconditionally There’s nothing that can separate you from him, there’s nothing that can change your DNA.

There is nothing that will destroy the love Jesus has for us, but if he didn’t chasten us, He doesn’t love us.

Simply put: What it says: “forgive and you shall be forgiven” If somebody wrongs you, let it go. By that I mean “Is this is really worth being mad about?”

Because most of the time when somebody wrongs you , they don’t care how you feel and no normal amount of anger towards them is going to change that. Anger is like giving yourself poison.

Most people that do people wrong have no compunction about what they did, nor any empathy for you. It is a waste of time to try to correct such people, don’t waste the time and energy. Don’t allow things like this to “live rent free in your head”.

You will not faze them, you will not bother them, they will not feel for you at all. If they did you wrong, logically they do not care how you feel about it, so the only person being poisoned by unforgiveness is you.

So remember if you hold a grudge you’re doing nothing but poisoning yourself. You’re doing nothing but taking away from your well being and your peace, and the Lord wants us to have peace.

So when Jesus says forgive, it’s not for their sake, it is for your sake. It is for your peace, It’s for your calm, for your joy and you’re fellowship with the Lord. “be angry and sin not”, and “do not let the sun go down upon your wrath” work it out. Talk about it, or let it go. Either way, the point is to sleep good at the end of the day, with a clear conscience.

I said that to say this: If we get to judgment and I have all against my brother, let’s say we had a sharp disagreement and it was never resolved, And both of you have carried it all these years, and you both passed away without any reconciliation.

So? Guess what? The Lord is all about restoring relationships, and you get two believers in heaven, and they get there together, and they’ve got something against each other. It will not be forgotten. It is going to have to be ironed out. It is going to have to be talked about.

I mean we’re starting eternal journey here in heaven together, so remember:

“forgive and you shall be forgiven” pertains only to rewards. It has nothing to do with your salvation. It does have a lot to do with you though shit your peas the well-being of your relationship but it’s not a deal-breaker

I want to stand before the Lord with a clear conscience with nothing to talk about except what my reward is going to be remember this: anything you carry into judgement is going to take away from your eternal reward.

The judgment is final, but it’s the beginning of eternity, so you want to start off on the right foot.

That’s right If you’re a believer in Jesus Christ , and you are reading this, YOU ARE GOING TO HEAVEN, and there is not a thing you can do about it. SO it would behoove us all to be prepared for this date with Jesus.

“what if you walk away?” you ask.

What if you do? The Bible says if we lose faith, Christ is faithful nonetheless.

You did not buy yourself, you were bought with a price. Jesus OWNS you.

You still have free will, but you are in an irrevocable relationship with our Lord Jesus, and that’s a good thing because men are subject to weakness, we are subject to failure, and rebellion, but Jesus abides faithful nonetheless.

Jesus never fails us, nor will he ever forsake us.

The Bible says in 2 Timothy 2:13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: for he cannot deny himself.

Now from an earthly personal fleshly standpoint as I said earlier, unforgiveness is a root of bitterness, and there’s a place in the Bible that talks about bitterness.

LET IT GO! Most things ain’t been ain’t really worth being right about anyway , and who knows, you never know you might just be wrong.

Ephesians 4:31-32

31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

Blessings!

Should we pray for everyone? (231)

The short answer to that is no, and here are a few scriptures to support it:

Jer 11:14 Therefore Pray not tell for this people Neither lift up a cry or prayer for them, for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble.

Jer 7:16 Therefore pray not thou for this people, nor lift up cry or pray for them, niether make intercession to me, for I will not hear thee.

1 Cor 5In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

2 John 1:10-11 If there come any unto you and bring God this doctrine receive him not into your house neither bit him God speak for he that bit of him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

1 Cor 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

There are times to pray, times to NOT pray, and times to STOP praying for people.

God Bless!
