"RESURRECTION ! PROOF OF SALVATION !"
Nov 09, 2003 Sermon by Preacher Doc
Where did we Originate? Therefore, where, when and how were we Created !?
Questioning Creation, defies reality, the Human intellect and common sense.
Yet, nonbelievers insist; from nothing, there is a primordial ball, the Big Bang
and evolution.
Per Science: "Matter CANNOT be created (or destroyed)."
(also READ: "Proof of Creation" Use website Link below)
THE most challenging, Theological question is: "If you Believers, Believe that
"GOD Created this material, natural World", then tell me, who created your Creator?"
In my Opinion, Jesus The CHRIST has answered, per His increasing steps of PROVING
His and GOD's Divinity. Per His 37 plus Divine Miracles, He did PROVE, Divinity to ALL.
An example, when He Cleansed the ten lepers, CHRIST was restoring their bodies!
And at the same time, Restoring/Cleansing their SOULS ! (Important for us
to realize!) Thus, making their SOULS, Pure and Worthy to Obtain PARADISE!
And what was/IS the Lesson, concerning the Miracle of the ten lepers?
CHRIST Cured ten! Thus, they were in a State of Grace! Upon natural death, JOIN
GOD IN PARADISE! But what happened? Nine took to forgetting CHRIST and GOD !
What does that demonstrate? On this natural Earth, even after one is Granted
Divine Salvation, they still are natural Human Beings. In the Image and Likeness
of GOD. However, still have FREE WILL. They could come back and Thank CHRIST
and GOD ! Continue Praying and being CHRISTIAN Believers.
Or forget Thanking/Praying to CHRIST and GOD as nine of the ten foolishly did.
Do you understand what I am Preaching? The power of individual, FREE WILL.
Whether to ACCEPT, BELIEVE in CHRIST and GOD. Or reject, do not Believe in
CHRIST and GOD. Realize the status, the DIVINITY of GOD and CHRIST.
On this natural Earth, there are billions of Humans in the Image and Likeness of
GOD; and we all possess FREE WILL. Between the DIVINE status of GOD and natural
Man on Earth, CHRIST established His Apostles, Disciples and Others Specially Selected;
and He gave them Power to help Cleanse bodies and Souls! Appears therefore, there are
three levels: Divine, Specially Empowered, and the billions of Humans with their individual FREE WILL.
Concerning the Specially Empowered, an example is the Apostle Peter, Obtaining sight for
a blind man! And the other Inspired Apostles and Disciples and Believers who Preached the
Truths of CHRIST, CHRISTIANITY!
They asked CHRIST, the same question; "How can I, BE Supernatural, here on Earth,
or at least KNOW !?" In other words, "GOD, HOW did You, Create this Universe?"
That apparent 'non-answer', 'educated' nonbelievers think,
'excuses' them from Believing. Because they say, "God is in our head". Through the
years, we 'developed' God in our head, by our thinking that there is a God.
Oh, there are many more 'lame-brain excuses, than THAT, 'educated' excuse.
Example: The intelligent fellow, who is 'absolutely sure', insists, he has 'the
answer to this Universe.' (Quote:) "This Universe and all in it; including man;
came from nothing, and therefore at present we are a temporary 'nothing'
(with 'something') in time and space. Then will return to being nothing, at some
time in the future."
I countered with; "Mathematically speaking, 0, to at
present 0 + in time and space, returning to 0."
"Yes!" He exclaimed, you have
expressed my philosophy, mathematically!"
I asked this intelligent fellow,
"In this 0+ , time and space, temporary existence, IS there any REALITY?? Something you can
BELIEVE in, touch and feel, that will NOT 'return to nothing'?" He says, "No, we just are
thought forming creatures, in time and space." I mentioned, "Humm, sort of like
a 'thought' world. We formulate our thoughts, our thoughts are active. We pass on;
our thoughts pass on. Could be analogous to Einstein's opinion of motion. No
'absolute' motion, all motion is relative. Your opinion; no absolute reality, only
relative interplay of thoughts. Because, if there is REALITY, said REALITY, IS
Something REAL, and would ESTABLISH this Earth, its People, and thus Believers, on Earth,
such as me, a Living Personality !" He would not concede, maintaining that He, I,
and Everyone, are not real; just, thoughts in an unreal time and space.
Well, I said, "There is a saying, 'Pinch me!', like I won $1,000,000.00,
to make sure it's 'for real', and I'm not dreaming! Thus, pinch yourself! Go ahead,
pinch yourself." He did.
"Now you must realize, you REALLY pinched yourself.
You felt it, because you are REAL. Whatever thoughts you had or have, cannot
remove the fact you are REAL!" The fellow would not face REALITY;
or accept REALITY !? ---- (They say, "Takes all kinds.")
Now I present that event because, 'highly educated professionals' insist
that 'Believers are 'misguided'. They are not as educated; and are People who
refuse to face 'reality''. ----- SAY WHAT !
And that brings me to "RESURRECTION ! PROOF OF SALVATION !"
CHRIST, RAISED a Son of a Widow, RAISED the Daughter of a Ruler, and HE COMMANDED,
"LAZARUS! COME FORTH !"
And Lazarus, after being dead for four days, ROSE and walked out of the tomb!
AND ON EASTER SUNDAY MORNING, "THE MESSAGE OF EASTER",
"JESUS' RESURRECTION, and PROOF OF SALVATION".
That is REAL and that is UNQUESTIONABLE.
Yet, 'educated' fools deny.
There is a saying; "There is no worse fool, than an 'educated' fool."
True Education is learning and ACCEPTING the TRUTH.
But, like the 'intelligent' "0 to 0" philosophy of my Scientist friend,
Nonbelievers still hold onto the excuse; "Who created your Creator?"
[also see Brother Dave's comment below on this question]
Let us say, that if CHRIST were in Rome, today. And was asked that question.
Say, by a non-believing Person from the U.S. One of those who litigate against
the use of the word, GOD. His answer was 2000 years ago and still IS today:
"Penza prendo Io per fisa; doppo Salvazione." Translated,
"You ask a 'wise' question. YOU, MUST BELIEVE in GOD, and obtain Salvation.
After Salvation, if you still need to ask the question, I will give you the Answer."

Poem: "The RAISING Of Lazarus!"
by Preacher Doc, for Nov 05, 2003
Jesus was Preaching at a village not far from His Home.
A Messenger came to Jesus, who for two days did roam.
To inform Jesus, His devoted Friend, Lazarus, had died!
In great, caring sorrow for his Family, openly Jesus cried!
After four days of travel, Jesus did arrive at Lazarus' grave.
Lazarus' Family, Friends and the Townspeople tried to be brave.
Lazarus' sisters kneeled before CHRIST, lamenting their obvious strife!
However, CHRIST bellowed "LAZARUS COME FORTH" and re-gave him Life!

"The RAISING Of Lazarus"
Nov 02, 2003 Sermon by Preacher Doc
The sincerely Devout, the 'Holiday' Religious, and many nonbelievers, have heard of "Jesus CHRIST,
RAISING (back) to Life 'Someone'."
In the Field of History, scholars mention Alexander, Caesar, Kahn, Napoleon.
Gandhi, etc. Of these mentioned, the first four were warrior leaders. Gandhi,
obtained national and world recognition, by PEACEFUL PROTEST ! At that time,
most thought Gandhi's protest was a 'small, weak man's folly'.
In the U.S., there was made this analogy: There are two heavyweight fighters.
Each will fight to "RULE as CHAMP". But there is a little featherweight fellow.
He's just sitting at ringside, protesting, and will continue to protest, until
the heavyweights, give up and make him 'RULE as CHAMP'. What are the chances
of THAT happening!?
As impossible as those two examples are; try to picture what Jesus CHRIST obtained!
Death was so final, that in some Religions, the deceased is buried the same evening.
That was the custom in Jesus' area and time. Thus, when His Friend Lazarus died,
Lazarus was wrapped in burial cloth and placed in a tomb. Now Lazarus' family,
especially his Sisters, wept in terrible sorrow. They and the townspeople
wondered why Lazarus' close Friend, Jesus, who had RAISED a Son and a Daughter
BACK TO LIFE ! and given sight to the blind, restored a withered hand, hearing, speech,
cleansed lepers, etc.! Why didn't Jesus rush back to the town, where Lazarus was
dying, to save him?
Appears that when the messenger found Jesus, Lazarus had been dead for
two days. Therefore, Jesus CHRIST said that the matters He had to complete
tomorrow, in the town presently Preaching, would be completed tomorrow.
And then on the next day, (fourth day) He would travel to Lazarus' tomb.
Meanwhile, at the tomb, the townspeople and travelers gathered. Now with more
and more protesting the violation of burial law and the stench of Lazarus' long decaying
body ! More Roman soldiers were stationed to prevent protesting skirmishes.
The wondering and murmuring about Jesus became louder. Would He Honor his
Friend Lazarus? If so, when, and what could or would Jesus do!?
When Jesus arrived, Martha, Lazarus' sister, cried sorrowfully to Him;
She said to Jesus that He was to late. Jesus CHRIST said, (Jn 11.23)
"Thy Brother shall Rise!" Martha said to Him,
"I know that he will Rise at the Resurrection, on the last day."
CHRIST said to her, "I AM The Resurrection and The Life; he who Believes in Me,
even if he die, shall Live; and whoever lives and Believes in Me shall never die. Do YOU Believe this?"
She said to Him, "Yes, Lord, I Believe that YOU ARE the CHRIST, the SON of GOD, Who has come into the world."
When CHRIST arrived at the tomb, He said, "Take away the stone."
Martha said, "Lord by this time he is already decayed, for he has been dead for four days."
CHRIST said to her, "Have I not told thee that if thou Believe thou
shalt Behold the Glory of GOD?"
They therefore removed the stone. And Jesus, raising His eyes, said,
"Father, I give Thee "Thanks" that Thou hast Heard Me. Yet I Know that Thou
always Hear Me; but because of the People who stand around, I spoke that
they may Believe that Thou hast sent Me."
When He had said this, He cried out in a loud voice,
"LAZARUS COME FORTH !"
And at once he who had been dead came forth, bound feet and hands with bandages,
and his face was tied up with cloth. Jesus CHRIST said to them,
"Unbind him, and let him go."
My conclusion: YOU, and YOU, and especially YOU, M U S T BELIEVE IN THE DIVINITY
OF G O D AND C H R I S T . What PROOF is there?
"The RAISING Of Lazarus" ! and Jesus The CHRIST Raised and now here with us
as He the Spirit of Truth ! (Jn 16)
