Unusual doubt leads to unusual death

This reminds me of the scripture that says: The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love to talk have to eat their own words.
Proverbs 18:21  


.... BE SURE YOU SCROLL WAY DOWN TO SEE WHAT THIS MESSAGE HOLDS FOR YOU!!!!  YOU JUST MIGHT BE SURPRISED!!!  I WAS!!!  




DID YOU KNOW THESE FACTS?


I SURE DIDN'T 'TILL NOW


Death is certain but the
 
Bible speaks about untimely death!


Make a personal reflection about this.......

Very interesting, read until the end.....

It is Written
 
  (Galatians 6:7):


'Be not deceived; God is not mocked: 
for whatsoever a man sow,
 
that shall he also reap...


Here are some men and women 
who mocked God
:

John Lennon
 
(Singer):


Some years before, 
during his interview with
an American Magazine,
 
he said:


'Christianity 
will end, it will disappear.


I do not have to argue about that.... 
I am certain.


Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, today we are more famous than Him' (1966).

Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, 
was shot six times.



Tancredo Neves


(President of Brazil)


During the Presidential campaign, 
he said if he got 500,000 votes
 
from his party, not even God would
remove him from Presidency.


Sure he got the votes, 
but he got sick
 
a day before being made President,
 
then he died.



Cazuza
 
(Bi-sexual Brazilian

composer, singer and poet)



During A show in Canecio 
( Rio de Janeiro ),


while smoking his cigarette, 
he puffed out some smoke
 
into the air and said:
 
‘God, that's for you.'


He died at the age of 32 of 
LUNG CANCER in a horrible manner.




The man who built the Titanic


After the construction of Titanic, 
a reporter asked him how safe
 
the Titanic would be.


With an ironic tone he said:

'Not even God can sink it'

The result: I think you all know what 
happened to the Titanic



Marilyn Monroe 
(Actress)


She was visited by Billy Graham 
during a presentation of a show.


He said the Spirit of God
 
had sent him to preach to her.


After hearing what the Preacher had to say,


she said:

'I don't need your Jesus'.

A week later, she was found dead
 in her apartment




Bon Scott
(Singer)


The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC..
 
On one of his 1979 songs he sang:


'Don't stop me; I'm going down all the way, down the highway to hell'.


On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked 
by his own vomit.



Christine Hewitt
 
(Jamaican Journalist and entertainer)
 
said the Bible (Word of God) 
was the worst book ever written.


In June 2006 she was found burnt 
beyond recognition in her
 
motor vehicle.


Many more important people
 
have forgotten that there is no other name
 
that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus.



Many have died,
 
but only Jesus died and rose again,
 
and he is still alive.



'Jesus'



I have done my part, Jesus said


'If you are embarrassed about me,


I will also be embarrassed 
about you before my father.'


'Lord, I love you and I need you,
 
come into my heart, and bless me,
 
my family, my home, and my friends, in Jesus' name.
 
Amen.'



Let God
 bless you.

Easter: Bigger than Christmas?

Easter: Bigger than Christmas?
Dr. Ray Pritchard
In our society there are two great religious holidays-Christmas and Easter. For most of us Christmas is the bigger and greater season of the year. It's the time of year when we gather with family and friends to sing carols, decorate the tree, and exchange gifts. Christmas is the climax of the whole year. Easter? Well, for most people it's just another long weekend, another chance to get away for a few days.
Even Christians view Easter as a second-rate holiday!
Somehow we've gotten our thinking badly mixed up. If Easter had not happened, Christmas would have no meaning. If the tomb is not empty, the cradle makes no difference. If Jesus did not rise from the dead, then he really is just a misguided Jewish rabbi with delusions of grandeur. If Easter is not true, then Christmas is only the story of an obscure baby born in an out-of-the-way village in a forgotten land 2000 years ago. It is Easter that gives Christmas its meaning.
You want proof? In all the New Testament no major doctrinal point is ever built upon the the virgin birth of Christ. Not one. It's true. It happened. But it's never discussed or mentioned. In fact, two gospels don't even say anything about it.
But the resurrection? That's a different story. In every part of the New Testament, it comes up again and again. Read the sermons of Acts. When the first Christians preached, they didn't mention Bethlehem; they talked about the empty tomb. They never got over the fact that on Easter Sunday when they went to the tomb, Jesus was gone.
