JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD

*In the beginning was The Word (a.k.a. Jesus Christ),

And the Word(Jesus) was with God,

And the Word(Jesus) was God.

Jesus was with God in the beginning. (John 1:1-2)

*Jesus created the heavens and the earth. (John 1:3; Colossians 1:16; Hebrews 1:2)

*And the Word (Jesus) became flesh (human) and tabernacled (fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile) among us; and we [actually] saw His glory (His honor, His majesty), such glory as an only begotten son receives from his father, full of grace (favor, loving-kindness) and truth. (John 1: 14)

*There are Three who were present in the beginning: The Father, Jesus The Son(the Word), and The Holy Spirit;

and These Three are One God. And there are three witnesses on the earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree [are in unison; their testimony coincides]. (1 John 5:7-8)

*On the first day God made light. (Genesis 1:3)

*On the sixth day God made the land animals, (Including dinosaurs @ Job 40:15-24 What animal, other than a dinosaur, moves its tail like a cedar?) and man.(Genesis 1:24 & 27)

*The creation of the heavens, the earth, and everything in them was completed in six days by Jesus Christ.(Genesis 1:31 & 2:1; John 1:3)

*God gave plants and animals the ability to reproduce, only after their own kind. (Genesis 1:11-28)

Birds are not the offspring of dinosaurs and man is not the offspring of apes.

The theory of evolution is false.

*God created man in His own image and likeness; one male named Adam and one female named Eve. (Genesis 1:27)

*God has made through Adam and Eve all nations and races of man to live on the earth. (Acts 17:26)

*When Adam sinned by disobeying God, death passed to all men. (Romans 5:12)

*That's why it is appointed to man to die once, and after this the judgment. (Hebrews 9:27)

Since man dies only once, reincarnation is false.

*God sent His Son Jesus from heaven to earth to save the world from sin. (John 12:47)

*For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)

*As a child Jesus was obedient to His mother Mary and His adoptive father Joseph. (Luke 2:51)

*Joseph did not have sex with Mary until after Jesus was born. (Matthew 1:25)

*Jesus had four brothers and at least two sisters, which were born of Mary and Joseph.

(Matthew 13:55-57; 12:46-50; Mark 3:31-35; Luke 8:19-21; Acts 1:13-14; Galatians 1:19)

*Mary was not a perpetual virgin. (Matthew 1:25)

*Jesus was in the world, and the world was made by Jesus, but people did not know Jesus as God. (John 1:10)

*At age 30 Jesus began to heal the sick, raise the dead, and feed the hungry. (Luke 3:23; Matthew 11:5; John 6:5-14)

*Jesus also walked on the sea, cast out demons, and calmed a storm. (Mark 6:47-50; Mark 1:23-28; Mark 4:35-41)

*Jesus preached to many saying, “The Lord Our God is one Lord. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. You shall love your neighbor as yourself. And in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you.” (Mark 12:28-34; Matthew 7:12)

*Jesus also said, “Repent (change your mind, turn from your sins and turn to God), because The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” (Matthew 4:17; Mark 1:15)

*Jesus forgave sins! (Matthew 9:2-6; Mark 2:5-10)

*Young children and infants were brought to Jesus, that he might bless them. Jesus said, “let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. (Mark 10:13-16)

*It is the parents responsibility to introduce their children to The Lord Jesus Christ. (Proverbs 22:6)

*Jesus always obeyed God The Father, even to the death on the cross. (Philippians 2:8)

*Jesus died for our sins, He was buried, and He rose again the third day as prophesied and recorded in the Scriptures.

(1 Corinthians 15:3-4)

*After Jesus rose from the dead, many people saw Him, touched Him, and talked with Him. Jesus was seen by more than five hundred of His followers at the same time. (1 Corinthians 15:5-8)

*They watched as Jesus ascended back into heaven. (Acts 1:9)

*Jesus promised to return and take all who believe in Him to heaven. There they will enjoy their new perfect bodies, and will be with the Lord forever. (John 14:1-3; Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Corinthians 15)

*All who believe in The Lord Jesus Christ have everlasting life. All who do not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ shall be cast into the lake of fire (hell), prepared for the devil and his angels. (John 3:36; Matthew 25:41)

*There shall be weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 8:12)

*What good will it be if you gain the whole world, and lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?

(Matthew 16:26; Mark 8:36; Luke 9:25)

*The invisible things of God from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even God’s eternal power and Godhead, so that you are without excuse. (Romans 1:20)

*Do not be deceived. For by Gods grace you have been saved through faith in Jesus Christ, and not from anything you have done or not done. Salvation is a free gift from God not a reward or payment for doing good works, lest anyone should

boast or brag. (Ephesians 2:8-9)

*A man is not justified (saved) by doing the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ. For by the works of the law no man shall be justified (saved). (Galatians 2:16)

In other words; A person cannot get to Heaven by being a good person, but only through Christ.

We should not try to be good people to gain salvation, we accept Jesus as our Savior and ask Him to change us. And then, when we receive His free gift of salvation we do good in thankful response for what Jesus did for us.

*For if righteousness (salvation) comes through the law, i.e. keeping the ten commandments and/or doing good works, then Jesus Christ died in vain. (Galatians 2:21)

*Jesus was asked, What shall we do, that we may work the works of God? Jesus answered and said, This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom God has sent. (John 6:28-29)

*Jesus was also asked, How can we know the way? Jesus answered, I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. *NO ONE comes to THE FATHER, but by ME. (John 14:6)

*Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved. (Acts 16:31)

*God The Father raised Jesus from the dead (Romans 10:9)

*Jesus raised Himself from the dead (John 2:19-21; John 10:17-18)

*The Holy Spirit raised Jesus from the dead (Romans 8:11).

*Jesus did many other miracles, which are not written here. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is The Christ, The Son of God, and that by believing in Him, you may have everlasting life. (John 20:30-31)

Evolution theory - The act or process of one kind of animal changing into a different kind of animal. As by this theory, innumerable transitional forms must have existed. Why do we not find them imbedded in the crust of the earth?

Reincarnation - Continual rebirths in human bodies until the soul has reached a state of perfection. Reincarnation, resurrection, and resuscitation are not the same.

Since man dies only once, reincarnation is false.

Jesus was not reincarnated or resuscitated. Jesus was resurrected!

MadBrilliant1880 3/31/08 . chapter 1
how horrible! what a mean choice for him to have to make!
Serra Nox 9/14/02 . chapter 4
there doesn't seem to be a method to the maddness, but good fiction. It was short, sweet and fun...
Tiger of Doom 2/22/02 . chapter 4
I think that this story really is a true representation of what would happen if spike were given those choices. The doctor is a good writer!
Amethyst Soul 5/25/01 . chapter 4
Your stories are very short. And very depressing. But I liked this one more than the others. This one was great. I enjoyed it. Very deep.
spooky 5/23/01 . chapter 4
awww! that was really goood! the ending was cute! i love when spike told off the powers that be!
Pandora the Cat 5/20/01 . chapter 4
Well, that answered my question from the previous review. lol Loved the ending.
Pandora the Cat 5/20/01 . chapter 3
Hey Steven, thanks for thanking me. Now which story of mine lead to this? DO tell. lol This part was sad. How horrible for Spike to have to say those awful things to Buffy because of what he did in the past. You are doing a really good job of writing these two.
Pandora the Cat 5/16/01 . chapter 2
I loved how Spike kept thinking Buffy naked on top of him. lol

What a lech though, thinking that about Dawn. *grin* I hope you hurry with the next part, 'cause I'm really anxious to know what happens with Spike and Buffy.
Pandora the Cat 5/16/01 . chapter 1
Wow! You did a great job capturing Spike's character. I could believe he was actually thinking what you wrote. I like how you brought the Oracles into this and gave him a choice that wasn't really a choice.
RoswellianDarkAngel 5/13/01 . chapter 1
Keep writing. Don't leave us hanging!
