Gaining Sainthood?........Absolutely Not

Gaining sainthood?  Does the Bible talk about such a thing?  No, it does not.  No place in the Word of 
God does it speak of gaining "Sainthood."  It is a false doctrine.  A "saint", according to the Bible, is a 
member of the body of Jesus Christ, thus a member of His Church.  Therefore, a born again,
(regenerated) person is a saint.  This is in accordance to how the Word of God uses that term, not
necessarily how some religious organizations use that term.  The Word of God is the final authority. 
That is if you want to stick to the truth.  We are "called to be saints."  Please check the Epistle of
Romans 7:1.  Among others.

Lincoln's First Baseball Game

I have 9 grandchildren.  Two of them are grandsons.  The oldest is 6 years of age.  His name is Lincoln.  The youngest is 2 years of age.   His name is Benjamin.  Today, I plan to  attend Lincoln's first competitive baseball game.  He is ready to play some serious ball.  I expect great things from him.  Benjamin is also eager to play.  The other day he was walking around our back yard holding a bat.  He was swinging it the best he could.  We have some serious ballplayers in this family.

Natural Right

"The idea is quite unfounded, that on entering into society we give up any natural right."

The Gospel In US Jails And Prisons

In the US, jails and prisons allow visiting Christian representatives to hold worship services.
They teach and preach the Gospel of Jesus. They teach about regeneration. They teach about the fruit of the Holy Spirit which is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness and self-control.  Those virtues help people become better human beings.  Jesus never ever encouraged anyone to murder someone else. The first Christian converts were all Jews.  The first Gentile convert in the history of Christianity was a Roman Soldier.  He was a Centurion.  His name was Cornelius.    The Bible is silent about his life after his conversion.
