Salt of the Earth

About a month ago I went on a fact finding mission about salt , and what I have discovered has been nothing short of a renewing in thought about refined and unrefined salt. I wrote a post on it on my second blog, Its Your Journey titled Is Table Salt Giving Salt a Bad Name? Here’s the rundown; refined salt, also known as table salt or “purified” salt has been processed to strip the salt of it’s natural minerals, leaving only sodium chloride. Sodium chloride is known to be aggressive without its natural counterparts, such as potassium, calcium and other minerals found in unrefined salt. Needless to say sodium chloride taken in large amounts has led to the belief that salt is bad and should be limited or removed completely from our diets. The truth of the matter is salt in its wholesomeness is the very essence of life without it, we would not be able to function or think. Salt, unrefined, is what hydrates a body, taken with water it is the perfect balance of hydration. As a matter of ...

A few years back I posted the "Light of the World Series" I discovered on YouTube. The clips are in American Sign Language and are captioned for the convenience of those who do not know ASL. (With exception to the "short clip", which I will translate in the future) I have complied all the links on this page and a little extra. Please do take a moment to check it out. It is compelling at the most. Do let me know if any links seem to be broken, missing or repeats of another link. Thank you for visiting "In Spirit & In Truth"! God bless and keep you!

Myths of Today’s Christian Culture – Sin

Truly, it is irresponsible for anyone who confesses belief in Jesus Christ of Nazareth and the power of His blood which give us remission of sin to ignore the extremely divided state in which today’s Christian culture resides. As it stands today, many denominations with preferred teachings preach and confuse a gospel that is not recognizable have rendered it un-relatable to those who have yet to receive Christ as the Son of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. While there are a vast conglomerate of churches of all varieties, they all have one thing in common, legalism. Legalism is the act/belief that physical behaviors lead to salvation and/or righteousness. Some examples may be; church attendance as as condition for salvation. Tithing, fasting, keeping of certain days, be it the Sabbath or other days, as a condition of salvation.  Some of you may know, I was a member of the World Wide Church of God (WCG). We believed we were the true church of God and kept Jewish holidays (Days...

Is Modern Better? A Response to a Comment Part II

The following is a response to a comment left on Is Modern Better? - A Response to a Comment KCTeenCenter, This will be the last comment I will respond to. Ultimately, you have your own beliefs and I have mine. I am not attempting, nor have ever tried, to change your mind about the KJV, and you will never convince me to go against the prompting of the Spirit and my own personal experiences with both translations, so any further discussions will be futile and a waste. But because you have stopped by to share your concerns about the KJV, I am compelled to point out fact from fiction as well as answer some of your questions… You say… "I have to stop and think ok how would this be today or what was he trying to say it bothers me" Please do speak for yourself. Your issues are not mine. I, as well as many others, can read the KJV and understand the language just fine. In instances where a word may not clear, or may need to be expounded upon, I refer to the Hebrew/Greek Lexicon...

Is BP Trying to TAP Instead of CAP The Oil Spill?

Here's an interesting theory that Mike Adams, the Health Ranger of NaturalNews.com relays as he interviews residents and former BP workers in the Gulf. I have to tell ya, it doesn't sound so far fetched to me. I was wondering why BP doesn't have several plans in action. Why are they waiting to cap an oil spill AFTER "top kill" failed. Multitasking is something they expect their employees to do, yet they, with the billions they have, cannot come up with more than one plan at a time...hmmm.... ---------------------------start of article--------------------------- http://www.NaturalNews.com/028898_British_Petroleum_Gulf_Coast.html (NaturalNews) Today, I spent my time interviewing people on the Gulf Coast from Mississippi to Louisiana. Several of those interviews were conducted on camera, and you'll be seeing those videos as early as tomorrow here on NaturalNews. Interestingly, it turns out that a lot of the people living on the Gulf Coast have a history of workin...

Myths of Today's Christian Culture - Modern Translations

In light of my most recent response to a comment, I decided to write posts in regards to myths that are frequently mistaken for truth in today's climate of Christianity. Starting with the topic of modern translations. Some Christians from various denominations promote their preferred translation against the KJV. Their most popular argument against it is this: "The KJV is out-dated in language, therefore (insert point/argument here) and should not be studied out of".   While, I unabashedly prefer the KJV and use it in all my posts, I have never encouraged others to abandon their translations, only that they research it. The truth of the matter is, not all translations are created equal. The author/publisher of the translation should be researched. And if you have full trust in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to give you wisdom in choosing a translation, where can it be "wrong" to question the motives of a modern author/publisher, considering the capitalis...

Is Modern Better? A Response to a Comment

Response to KCTeenCenter on Translation vs. Paraphrase KCTeenCenter, Your desire to make things "clear" for readers who come to this blog, that the KJV is out-dated in language begs the question is the modern language better in communicating the doctrine and teaching of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Son of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? The short answer is no, one cannot assume because of an old language that the KJV does not and cannot offer the principles and teaching of Jesus Christ of Nazareth and His Gospel. Which leads to the second point: "KJV was written with the Church of England's beliefs in mind" Since it is not clarified in your point I have to assume within the context of your statement that you are insinuating the principles/doctrine of Christ has been compromised some how by the personalized beliefs of the Church of England. With all due respect to the history of the King James Version, where are these “beliefs” evident in the KJV th...
