JESUS & YOU

CREATION
In the beginning, thousands of years ago, God created the heavens and the earth. He made the sun, the moon and the stars. He made the waters and the dry land. He made all that is on earth. He made the grass, flowers and trees as well as all the fishes, birds and mammal (Genesis 1:1-25).

MAN & WOMAN
Then God created man in His own image, male and female. He called the man Adam and the woman was named Eve by her husband. God blessed them and gave them dominion over every living thing on earth. He commissioned them to be fruitful and multiply to fill the earth. (Genesis 1:26-28)

GARDEN OF EDEN- TWO SPECIAL TREES
God made a garden in Eden and put Adam and Eve there to take care of it. It was a beautiful place. They lived there in happiness, eating from the trees of the garden. In the garden, God had placed two special trees. One was the Tree of Life. The other, the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. God told Adam and Eve that they were not to eat of this tree. If they did, God said that they would surely die. God did not want His children to know evil, so He told them not to eat from that tree. God wanted His children pure and innocent. (Genesis 2:8,9,15,16&17)

HEAVEN & ANGELS
Before God made the world, God had prepared a place in the heavenlies called Heaven. He had also made thousands upon thousands of heavenly beings called angels. These heavenly beings served and worshiped God. There was order among the angels. The angels in charge were called arch angels or chief angels. (Hebrews 1:6,7)

LUCIFER (SATAN) & DECEPTION
At some point in time past, one of the chief angels called Lucifer became proud and rebellious. He vowed to make himself like God. He influenced other angels to follow him and they plotted to exalt themselves above God. God punished Lucifer and the angels by casting them out of Heaven. A lake of fire in a place called Hell was prepared as an ultimate punishment for them. Lucifer, who is the devil, hated God. He desired to "get even" by destroying God's creation. He came into the garden in the form of a serpent, a most crafty beast. He deceived Eve and she ate from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Eve gave some fruit to Adam, who was with her, and he ate some also. (Genesis 3:1-6)

PUNISHMENT
The disobedience of Adam and Eve was the first sin. God banished them from the Garden of Eden. He knew that they would be tempted to eat of the Tree of Life and, therefore, live forever in their sin. Because of their sin, the curse of God came upon this first family. Their sorrow, after being driven out of their beautiful home, was very great. Since that time, all their descendants, all people from that time until now, are born with a sinful nature, a desire to sin. It does not take long in an individual's life for this nature to manifest itself. (Genesis 3:7-24)

GOD'S PROMISE OF HOPE
God loves people, His creation. He promised that He would send a Savior to deliver them from the curse of sin. For thousands of years this promise was passed down from generation to generation. Through the centuries, people waited for the Savior to come and free them from the judgment of sin. God periodically sent messengers, His prophets, to encourage people to have faith and wait a little longer. (Matthew 3:1-3)

FULFILLMENT OF GOD'S PROMISE
About 2,000 years ago, during the Roman Empire, God fulfilled His promise. A child, Jesus, whose name means Savior, was to be born to a virgin named Mary. Mary was pledged to be married to a man named Joseph. God said that this Child would be the long waited for Savior of the world. This was to be a true miracle birth. Mary was not married at the time of conception. She had not had sexual relations with any man. An angel called Gabriel prepared Mary for this by visiting her and telling her that God the Holy Spirit would come upon her, leaving her with Child. She would give birth to a Son who would be called Jesus. This baby was God's very own Son. (Luke 1:26-35)

JESUS' LIFE & MINISTRY
Jesus, born in Bethlehem, lived for 33 years in the land of Israel. He grew up a child of Mary and her husband Joseph. Jesus lived a sinless life. His life was a demonstration of the love of God. He healed the sick and did many wonderful miracles: the blind were made to see; the deaf heard; the lame walked; the dumb spoke. He raised some people from the dead and cast evil spirits out of people who were possessed by them. People loved Jesus and many believed in Him and followed Him. (Luke 7:1-23 , John 11: 30-45)

JESUS' DEATH
some religious rulers known of that time became jealous of Jesus. They wanted to kill Him. One day, they seized Him and brought Him before the religious and political courts. After an unfair trial with false witnesses, they sentenced him to death by crucifixion, the cruel Roman method of executing criminals. (John 11: 46-57, John 19)

JESUS' RESURRECTION
Those who wanted Jesus dead rejoiced, but not for long. After three days in a tomb, Jesus, the Savior of the world, arose from the dead. He came out of the grave and for forty days appeared to His disciples and friends. They later told this to others. He was taken up into Heaven, where He is today. (Luke 24)

WHY JESUS DIED
Jesus, the Son of God, died for a purpose. He could have saved Himself by calling on angels to set Him free, but He chose not to. He chose to die and thereby suffer the punishment of sin for each and every one of us. He was judged by God, His father, with the judgment we deserved. He bore our sins when He was crucified. His death, burial and resurrection once again made fellowship between God and man possible. What sin destroyed in the Garden of Eden, Jesus again made possible. (Isaiah 53:4-12, Romans 4:20-25, Romans 5:18,19)

HE DIED FOR YOU
If you have never heard this story before, it might sound quite strange to you. The Bible says in 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." For those who believe, this has become our joy, comfort and peace. If you choose to believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that His death, burial and resurrection was for you, you too can receive forgiveness and everlasting life. Jesus will become your personal Savior and Lord if you ask Him. He loves you! He died for you! He wants you to love Him and tell others the story you have just read. There is a penalty if you reject Jesus. The penalty is spending eternity separated from God and His love. The Lake of Fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels will be your eternal home if you do not accept Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. But if you believe, you will be saved from this terrible fate.

MAKING JESUS SAVIOR AND LORD
"For if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10 : 9)

You can be saved right now and on your way to Heaven if you will open your heart to Jesus and pray the sinner's prayer out loud. Just say out loud: "Dear God, I need you. As best as I know how I give you my life. Lord Jesus I believe you died on the cross for my sins, arose, ascended to the Father and will come again. I repent of my sins. Come into my life and give me new life. I want to follow you and live in Your way. Fill me with the Holy Spirit and your love. I forgive everyone, help me to love everyone. Please write my name in your book and make my home in heaven. I am not ashamed of Jesus. Thank you. In Jesus name I pray. ”

If you prayed the prayer and meant it, God heard you and has come into you. He has saved you and has given you a new life, because you've been born again and your name is written in the lamb's book of life. You are now a born again believer and a Christian son or daughter of God and you will spend eternity in heaven. Welcome to the family of God.

It's very important now for you to get a Bible and read it carefully. Find a group of fellow believers (a church) and be baptized. Seek to grow in how to clearly follow Jesus and know God in fullness. Confess Jesus openly and share with others the new life you now have.

May the Lord's richest blessings of grace rest on You.

I highly recommend "The Passion of the Christ" directed by Mel Gibson.

thank you for your concern about our souls iLuvJesus1, but i pawned mine along time ago to feed my five hungry children. One has since died of cancer and another died from internal bleeding after being raped by our preacher. Now I can manage to pay my bills and feed my three remaining children just from the income of being Yasha's "dirty Lithuanian" hooker. I am also Yasha's "dirty French hooker", "dirty Mexican hooker", and "dirty Chinese hooker". It's a living.

Thanks for the information and good wishes, ILuvJesus. I am sincerely happy that you have found your Savior, and that you seem to be filled with joy from His word.
Just as a warning: there are a number of folks here who do not share your beliefs about this issue, and who will undoubtedly respond in an impolite fashion. You're both exercising your rights to free expression, which are vigorously defended on this forum.

As for me, I am not sure whether Christ is my Savior or not, but I recognize what you are doing as an honest attempt to do for me the best thing you can do; i.e. you are trying to save my soul, along with everyone else here. Again, for your effort, I thank you. If you'd care to stay and actually talk about what you've presented, you're welcome to do so.

Korn Guitarist accepts Jesus Christ as his Saviour:

Korn Guitarist off the Kob

Guitarist Brian "Head" Welch is exiting the chart-topping n-metal band after finding God, according to a message on the band's official Website.

"Korn has parted ways with guitarist Brian "Head" Welch, who has chosen Jesus Christ as his savior and will be dedicating his musical pursuits to that end," his bandmates said, adding that they "respect Brian's wishes and hopes he finds the happiness he is searching for."

No word who'll take his place in the lineup, which includes singer Jonathan Davis, guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer, bassist Reggie "Fieldy" Arvizo and drummer David Silvera.

Welch, 34, admitted his desire to seek salvation to a radio station in the band's hometown of Bakersfield, California, on Sunday. He said he was becoming increasingly alienated from the menacing, mosh-driven music the quintet made during its 13 years together.

"Anger is a good thing, and if kids want to listen to Korn, good, but there's happiness after the anger," he told KRAB-FM. "I'm going to show it through my actions, how much I love my fans."

Welch is scheduled to speak at the local Valley Bible Fellowship church this Sunday. He is expected to elaborate on his religious awakening in greater detail.

Hopefully he'll fill that void in Christian Metal. Namely the lack of anything metal about it.

This is almost as exciting as the drunk barfly who wanted to save my soul and fuck my brains out last weekend.

I love bars, I meet the most interesting people.
