The Revelation 21:8 Liar Is Habitual And Unbelieving

No Christian Is Either

"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liarsshall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."  Rev. 21:8

This verse either sweeps every living soul into the lake of fire or requires explanation. Everyone has been fearful, had moments of unbelief, been abominable, or murdered,  whoremongered, sorcerers (pharmakeus =drug abuse), lied, or idolized.  Some unsaved sinners are, or were, all of these things before they came to Jesus and were forgiven. All Christians have sniffed, or touched some of these things but repented and will not be cast into the lake of fire for it.

David not only lied but committed adultery and murder.
"I said in my haste, All men are liars."  Psm.116:11.  Here David confesses he lied when he said that "All men are liars".  But did that one exaggeration (lie), said in his "haste" (not that he didn't know better) make David a "Rev. 21:8 Liar" doomed to hell? Of course not.  He said it because, though all men are not Rev.21:8 liars, all men... and women and children have lied.  David was guilty of violating three of those horrible sins, but we know he was a true believer and went to heaven. He was chosen by God to write Psalms and to be king of God's people. He knew he had sinned but also that he was the apple of God's eye and he prayed for God's mercy....

"Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings," Psm.17:8.

The fact is that a Rev. 21:8 liar is an unredeemed, perpetual, habitual liar.  When you encounter such a person, you can know that though they say they are Catholic or Christian, they are again lying.  To twist the word and holy things of God will bring God's judgment.

"Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.  Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar." Prov.30:5-6
   
The Rev.21:8 habitual liar is always, at heart, an unbeliever.

"Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son." 1 Jn.2:22

A Rev. 21:8 liar listens to and repeats lies habitually

"A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue."  Prov.17:4  

Why are some people so addicted to lying?

"Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. .... When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar: and the father of it."   Jn.8:44

Your Own Talent Is As Valuable As Any Hero, Expert, Or Genius

If you cultivate and use it ....

Do not resent or fret if you can't star at sports or some other area of superior accomplishment. It is not the having of great talent that is so rare, but the cultivating of it and using it. Invest yourself in the greater good and you will shine. RB


When baseball greats Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig went on tour in baseball-crazy Japan in 1934, some fans wondered why a third-string catcher named Moe Berg was included.

Although he played with five major-league teams from 1923 to 1939, he was a very mediocre ballplayer. but Moe was regarded as the brainiest ballplayer of all time. In fact, Casey Stengel once said, "That is the strangest man ever to play baseball". 

When all the baseball stars went to Japan, MoeBerg went with them and many people wondered why he went with the team."

 

Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth

 

 The answer was simple: Moe Berg was a United States spy, working undercover with the Office of Strategic Services (predecessor of today's CIA).

 

Moe spoke 15 languages - including Japanese.

And he had two loves: baseball and spying.

 

 In Tokyo, garbed in a kimono, Berg took flowers to the daughter of an American diplomat being treated in St. Luke's Hospital, the tallest building in the Japanese capital.

 

 He never delivered the flowers the ball player ascended to the hospital roof and filmed key features: the harbor, military installations, railway yards, etc.

 

 Eight years later, General Jimmy Doolittle studied Berg's films in planning his spectacular raid on Tokyo..

 

 

 

 His father disapproved and never once watched his son play. In Barringer High School, Moe learned Latin, Greek, and French. Moe read at least 10 newspapers every day.

 

 He graduated magna cum laude from Princeton - having added Spanish, Italian, German, and Sanskrit to his linguistic quiver.

During further studies at the Sorbonne, in Paris, and Columbia Law School, he picked up Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Indian, Arabic, Portuguese and Hungarian, 15 languages in all, plus some regional dialects.

 

 While playing baseball for Princeton University, Moe Berg would describe plays in Latin or Sanskrit.

 

 

Tito's
partisans

 

 During World War II, Moe was parachuted into Yugoslavia to assess the value of the war effort of the two groups of partisans there. He reported back that Marshall Tito's forces were widely supported by the people, and Winston Churchill ordered all-out support for the Yugoslav underground fighter, rather than Mihajlovic's Serbians.

 

 The parachute jump at age 41undoubtedly was a challenge. But there was more to come in that same year. Berg penetrated German-held Norway, met with members of the underground, and located a secret heavy-water plant -- part of the Nazis' effort to build an atomic bomb.

 

 His information guided the Royal Air Force in a bombing raid to destroy that plant.

 

 

The R.A.F. destroys the Norwegian heavy water plant targeted by Moe Berg.

 

 There still remained the question of how far had the Nazis progressed in the race to build the first Atomic bomb. If the Nazis were successful, they would win the war. Berg(under the code name "Remus") was sent to Switzerland to hear leading German physicist Werner Heisenberg, a Nobel laureate, lecture and determine if the Nazis were close to building an A-bomb. Moe managed to slip past the SS guards at the auditorium, posing as a Swiss graduate student. The spy carried in his pocket a pistol and a cyanide pill.

 

If the German indicated the Nazis were close to building a weapon, Berg was to shoot him - and then swallow the cyanide pill. Moe, sitting in the front row, determined that the Germans were nowhere near their goal, so he complimented Heisenberg on his speech and walked him back to his hotel.

 

 

Werner Heisenberg
-
he blocked the Nazis from acquiring an atomic bomb.

 

 Moe Berg's report was distributed to Britain's Prime Minister Winston Churchill, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and key figures in the team developing the Atomic Bomb. Roosevelt responded: "Give

my regards to the catcher.”

 

 Most of Germany's leading physicists had been Jewish and had fled the Nazis mainly to Britain and the United States. After the war, Moe Berg was awarded the Medal of Freedom -- America's highest honor for a civilian in wartime. But Berg refused to accept it because he couldn't tell people about his exploits.

 

 After his death, his sister accepted the Medal. It now hangs in the Baseball Hall of Fame, in Cooperstown.

 

 

Presidential Medal of Freedom: the highest award given to civilians during wartime.

 

 Moe Berg's baseball card is the only card on display at theCIA Headquarters in Washington, DC.

  

 

 So now you know! So cultivate your own talents, and use them. RB

Everything Outside Of God's Truth Is a Lie Ozzing Corruption

This includes the entire earth and all that is in it .... 

except for the truth as  God knows it.  The very moment a person willfully turns their back to God they turn their face to the lie and to corruption.  All secular endeavors and most religious ones are flawed to the core and unredeemable.  Only the eternal soul, breathed into the human body, by our Creator, is redeemable and is thus set apart from the corruption surrounding it.  It has then become as an embedded light bulb on the ceiling of an otherwise cold and blindingly dark room.  Darkness is nothing  ... except the absence of light. And light is the sole purpose of a light bulb even as God's truth, His word, our Christian life, and Testimony ... our LIGHT is our purpose in this sin-darkened world.  if we do not shine forth the revealing, vision, warmth, glory, and power of God, He may unscrew and replace us.
After our redemption, the only reason God leaves us in this corrupt and darkened world is to "Brighten the corner where we are" with His light.

The Best Laid Plans Of Mice And Men

Often Go Awry!  Common Sense Commentary

The account below is from a friend concerning one of the first results of our Left-Wing leaders switching our power grid from red hot Fossil Fuel to wilting green.  I know why God put the Solar Sun, Wind, and Rivers of water here ... but why did He put oceans of  Fossil  Fuels under our feet where He also put metals and hundreds of other useful resources we humans need?  Of what earthly, human use are those Fossil Fuels?  Ask Germany and all of Europe since Russia's Fossil Fuel pipelines to them have been shut down. RB    
______________________________

Here is what an engineer told my friend's  friend

I was talking this morning with an engineer at a South-eastern power utility. He is being retasked with trying to locate transformers and all the other items that keep the local grid up and running. "It's getting tough," he told me. It used to be that when a transformer blew, they'd just send it off to metal recyclers. Now, they're looking for people to refurbish them. A new transformer - lead times are now 2 years.

I asked, "How long, at the current rate, will it be before you start to have difficulties supplying power?" He said, that within 6 - 12 months, he thinks they'll have to start telling new developments that there will be a delay in supplying power. Not long after that, they might have to start telling existing customers there are problems supplying power.

Oh, and all that "green power" - he said they're taking resources that are making the problem worse.

____________________________________


I will pick just one other example, of thousands of men's plans, or was it mice, which went astray.  A most notable, global example is the U.S. world Reserve Currency status for the last 78 years, but alas, it too has gone awry because our politicians abused it in every possible way.

Reserve Currency status has run its course in the US.
Since WWII it has enriched our nation above all others.
The rest of the world has paid the price to make us rich.
But they did not cause our loss; we did it to ourselves. 
Now a global, digital, currency system awaits unveiling. 
Control of all money will mean control of all people.
The best-laid plans of mice and men have gone awry.


The changing Reserve Currency System:

Reserve Currency status has run its course in the US.
Since WWII, (1944) at Bretton Woods, it has enriched our nation above all others.  We are now looking at the caboose of that train as it passes out of America.

What is, or was the Bretton Woods Agreement, that went awry?
It is explained in the link below ... but, as usual ...  the best-laid plans of mice and men have gone awry ... again. RB

 
Last thought, consider silver ... if you can find any... NOT PAPER in any form. And pray for your country;  It is in a mess, as is the whole world.  If you have Christ, stop worrying, your destiny is glorious. RB

Faith's Logic And Reason Plus Facts Opens Truth's Door

All else is fiction 

In Stephen Hawking's book "A Brief History of Time", he, a famous scientist, made an interesting observation ...  

In Chapter 3 of the book, Hawking introduces the reader to the Big Bang Theory and the concept of a gravitational singularity, which Wikipedia describes as “a condition in which gravity is so intense that spacetime itself breaks down catastrophically.” Essentially, since the laws of physics are eviscerated at a singularity, what happened before it is both irrelevant and unknowable, and one could consider such an event as having reset the universe’s clock. Here's how Hawking describes it in his book (emphasis added throughout):

“This means that even if there were events before the big bang, one could not use them to determine what would happen afterward, because predictability would break down at the big bang. Correspondingly, if, as is the case, we know only what has happened since the big bang, we could not determine what happened beforehand. As far as we are concerned, events before the big bang can have no consequences, so they should not form part of a scientific model of the universe. We should therefore cut them out of the model and say that time had a beginning at the big bang. Many people do not like the idea that time has a beginning, probably because it smacks of divine intervention.”   
Stephen Hawking

So Hawking, one of the most famous scientists in human history, concluded, to the grievance of many evolutionists, that there was a "beginning" of the universe called The Big Bang.  If there was a big bang that blew planets in all directions from a center point, it could have exploded into existence when God said, "Let there be ..." in Genesis one. I would not be surprised if there was some big noise caused when God spoke the universe into existence.  Every word of our "eternally living",  Almighty, all-knowing God has the power of life and truth in it.  And if God's word, "Let there be...", resulted in "a great noise or big bang" of creation, it stands to reason that its obliteration would also result in a great noise. 

"But the day of the Lord will come .... in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up." 2 Peter 3:10.

There are many Creationist Christians who have been forced by logic and reason to seek the God of Creation as their LORD ... and found Jesus as their Savior in the pursuit.  Here is one of those, Lara Logan, a tough FOX News reporter you know little about, making her own interesting observation, and there are many millions of others who agree.  RB
