Bookie Day!!!

EVE By H.B. Moore  Book Review #1     False doctrine!!!

  .
First of all, this book is VERY WELL WRITTEN, it is intriguing and makes you want to keep going to find out what happens next.  It makes you think, wow, maybe it really could have happened this way. I personally could relate to the personality of Eve in the sense that she was sooooooo curious and was always asking Adam soooooo many questions!!! I liked how the story went back and forth between Adam's thoughts and Eve's.
.
HOWEVERRRRRRR...               
Be aware Christians, This book is not Biblically sound! i noticed right away upon listening that things did not seem to line up Biblically speaking with the word of God!!! even though scripture was continually being used, the events did not correlate with what the Bible ACTUALLY says.
.
 Lucifer did not appear to Eve as a man, but a serpent! "Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?" (Genesis 3:1)
.
 There was no death in the world til sin entered. “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12) This book shows death entering into the world when Lucifer entered the garden, however, that is NOT what the Bible says!!! The Bible says that death began the moment SIN entered into the Garden, which was the moment man FIRST disobeyed God. "For since by man came death. . . For as Adam all die" (1 Corinthians 15:21-22).
.
The Bible does NOT clearly state, although there was animals killed after sin entered the world for sacrifices, to push man's sin forward, till Jesus came and became the final sacrifice for our sin, For just as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous (Romans 5:19). However, the Bible does NOT clearly state that animals were eaten until AFTER the flood!!! "Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things." (Genesis 9:3)
 
When i realized that the story was beginning to allude that Eve had relations with Lucifer, i realized that this book HAD to be written by a Mormon, because the false doctrine, that Cain was the son of Lucifer, that is no where found in the Word Of God, is a Mormon belief. The Bible clearly states that Cain is the son of Adam and Eve and he was NOT born of the devil. "And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord." (Genesis 4:1)
.
After looking up the author and seeing where she graduated, i knew i was right about what i thought! i immediately turned off the story. Just like Lucifer appeared to Eve as a serpent in the garden, and deceived her to eat the fruit, Lucifer or one of his minions appeared to Joseph Smith and deceived him with false doctrine, telling him that he had "new" knowledge.
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.  As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed." (Galations 1:8-9)
.
I enjoy when an author uses their imagination to make a Biblical story come to life, as long as the story does not in any way differentiate from what the actual Biblical scriptures say!!!! However, this author, while quoting scriptures, over and over again, then contradicts what the Bible ACTUALLY says.  Don't be deceived readers, although intriguing, this book is loaded with the devil's lies!!! God Bless and check out
 Lynn Austin's Biblical dramas instead!!!

Falling in love!!!

I want to FALL IN LOVE!!!
Okaaaaaaaaaaaay isn't that in the heart of just about every typical female???
.
This summer, I discovered something specific that I want to be totally and completely in love with!!! One day, as I was running around with my friends, Brandon and Hanna, the bride and groom, well, we're running around together doing all the typical wedding errands. We stopped for a break and while Hanna and I did whatever, Brandon sat there and read his Bible.
.
When it was time to leave Hanna said come on lets go! Brandon looked up from his Bible and was like, wait, just let me read one more chapter in my Bible! She kinda hesitated, since we were in a rush and had a MILLION AND ONE things to do, and he says, please?! Like a little boy begging to play with his favorite toy for five more minutes. She was like, well, how can I say NO to that??? I was like, yeah, WOW, your marrying a GOOD MAN HANNA!!! (Anywayz, back to our gossip session...JUUUUUUUUUUUST KIDDING!!! Seriously, that was a joke people!!! LOL) Annnnnnnnd just like that I thought, I WANT THAT!!!
.
Your probably thinking that I mean I want a man like that, buuuuuuuuut NO!!! I want that in myself!!! I want to be that same way with reading my Bible!!!
I WANT TO FALL IN LOVE
WITH GOD'S WORD!!!
 
Of course I LOVE God's word!!! I read it! I listen to it, but so often it's out of a dutiful love to God and not out of a consuming desire. Of course love, even in a marriage has both a love out of duty and out of a consuming passion and desire, there are times when our dutiful love and devotion to God carries us through, but still, I want to experience that all consuming passion and desire to God as well. If you all could have just heard it in his voice, it wasn't to show off to us, TRUST ME, we're all life family, he really just wanted ONE MORE CHAPTER, before he went on his day...just a little bit more!
.
I want that for myself!!! I want to fall fully and completely IN LOVE with God's word! I want it to consume my life, my thoughts, my dreams. I want more than just a dutiful love, renew that passion within me. Draw me closer to you, teach me your ways, saturate my heart, my life...
I LOVE GOD ALREADY
BUUUUUUUUUUUT...
I WANT TO LOVE HIM MORE!!!

What do you do when there's a black out???

I remember a time when I was 18, My sister and I went to a youth camp in Oklahoma. The dorm buildings  were solid brick buildings with now windows anywhere. One night as we were sleeping in our very uncomfortable bunks, I suddenly woke up to pitch blackness. I mean it was SOOOO DARK I could NOT even see my hand in front of me. As scared as I was, I knew from the whispers around me that there was a storm that had caused a black out which caused every light in the campgrounds to go out. It was dark my friends, DARK!!!
Even though I was scared and uncomfortable with the lights being out, I figured I would just go back to sleep, after all that made the most logical sense to do right??? I'm closing my eyes to go back to sleep when I hear a whisper, Mary! Mary! It was my sister, she was like, lets go to the bathroom...I'm like, just go to sleep! She's like, No lets go! I'm like, we can't see ANYTHING, there is no way we're going to make it out of this big room of bunks, into the hall and THEN find the bathroom in this pitch blackness! She's like, NO LETS GO!
.
Well sure enough WE GOT LOST! I'm telling you all it was one of the scariest feelings ever! We were literally lost in out own dorm room. You have to understand that per a room there are about 30 bunks set up and we were completely lost amongst them. We had no idea where our beds were anymore or where the door to the hallway was.
.
Holding hands we felt along the beds and walls, tripping over stuff till we finally made it to the hallway. Once in the hallway we were greeted the same blackness. Now we had no idea which room was ours OR how to get to the bathroom. We had no idea what to do as we walked along.
.
 Struggling through the darkness, we suddenly saw a tiny sliver of light. We realized that it was coming up from the dorm door. It was light from the moon seeping through the bottom door. It was such a tiny bit of light but to us it may as well have been a torch shining through. Thinking we could open the door all the way and let more moonlight in the dorm to find our way around.  Excitedly, We RAN to THE LIGHT!!!

However, before we actually got to the door the dorm mom came through with a HUGE flashlight! It was a good thing to because those doors had an alarm on them in case anyone tried to sneak out during the night!!! lol
.
The other day I was remembering this happening all those years ago. And it was SO VIVID in my mind how in that UTTER BLACKNESS, that little sliver of light underneath the door was such a welcomed sight that we actually RAN TO IT!!! We didn't think twice about it if weshould stay in the dark hallway where we were lost.. We RAN TO THE LIGHT!!!
.
And it got me to thinking,  in this crazy life that we live, we NEED to be running to THE LIGHT!!!
.
There are times in our lives when go through hard times.  Trials that we battle, storms that literally turn into black outs in our lives! We have no idea what happened. One day we're living a normal life, then suddenly we wake up one day and open our eyes to total and UTTER BLACKNESS!!! We can't see in front of us or behind us or anywhere around us. Its dark. Its black and we feel lost in the sense that we have know idea where we are going or what we should do to find our way there.
.
Let me tell you something that I've learned to do in those times, I JUST LOOK FOR THE LIGHT!!! The Bible says in Hebrews 8:9 "Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world..." My friends, JESUS IS OUR LIGHT!!! When life gets hard, JUST RUN TO JESUS!!! Read His word! Talk to the man of God in your life for guidance. When your going through a trial, now is NOT the time to start skipping out on church services and avoiding your pastor. Instead, emerge yourself into every church service possible and linger in God's presence. Seek Godly council from your God-given authorities, elders and mentors. RUN TO THE LIGHT!!!
.
Imagine in your mind, stumbling blindly through your problems. You don't know what to do or where to go  and suddenly you see just a SLITHER of light shining out to you. What is it? Oh LOOK...it's YOUR BIBLE...HEEEEEYYY... just a corner peeking out under a pile of papers on your nightstand. Don't just IGNORE that little slither of light as you continue to stumble around the dark hallway of confusion in your life. That's THE LIGHT...The Word of God...RUN TO IT!!!
What do you do when there's a black out???
YOU RUN JESUS!!!
YOU RUN TO THE LIGHT!!!
"The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light..." (Isaiah 60:19)

THE book...with THE ANSWERS!!!

Quite awhile ago, I was havin a conversation with several people,  and someone stated, "oh I just wish there was a book that told us ALL the answers to the questions in life." I'm standin there thinkin ummmmmmm HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOO....So I'm like not wantin sound like a NO-IT-ALL...but I'm just like, well there is, its called THE BIBLE!!!!!!!!!! (Like DUH!!!)
And someone else was just like yeah, THE BIBLE!!! And the person that had made the statement was like, Oh well yeah, I know the Bible BUT thats not what I was talkin about...I mean a book that says EXACTLEY what we need to do in every situation in life..and someone else was like OH YEAH I know exactley what you mean, like the Bible is good BUT sometimes you just need an answer right then and there to your situation.
They were like, yeah, I mean sometimes you just want to know what to do when your on the job and someone is gettin on your nerves. I was kinda startin to get pretty annoyed with these people, I mean HELLLLOOO, these were CHURCH PEOPLE...how could they not see??? To some degree I can understand what they were sayin, sometimes it seems like the right thing to do is unclear. Sometimes I to wish that there was some sort of thing I could go to for an INSTANT RIGHT ANSWER.
However, the word of God IS the book with ALL of the answers to the questions of life!!! There is NO THING that we can NOT find the answer to in the Bible. Your situation is NOT so unique that the answer can not be found in God's word. "The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun." (Ecclesiastes 1:9)
 I think to often we take the word of God to lightly, we take it for granted. We FORGET that it really is God's word to us. It really does have ALL THE ANSWERS!!! We might have to pray, we may have to seek God and search out His word BUT if we do we WILL GET A ANSWER!!!
There is no situation in life that is not covered in the Bible. If you go to Proverbs alone, you will find so much wisdom that covers everything from finances, work, marriage, children, gossip, anger, repentence...so much in just one book of the Bible...
 AND YES you can even find the answer to what to do if someone is annoyin you at work OR if someone is annoyin you ANYWHERE for that matter...which is good cuz the world is filled with ANNNNOYIN people...LOL...
A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. (Proverbs 15:1)
A quick-tempered man does foolish things, and a crafty man is hated. (Proverbs 14:17)
It is to a man's honor to avoid strife, but every fool is quick to quarrel (Proverbs 20:3)
A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.(Proverbs 29:11)
In other words, KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT or THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK!!!
I can't reiterate ENOUGH...how important the Bible is. The Bible is GOD SPEAKING TO US!!! It is the inspiration of God, how incredibly amaZin is that??? WE may want that INSTANT answer BUT God wants us to search it out in order for us to know him better and to draw closer to him. "It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter." (Proverbs 25:2) It is the honor of royalty for us to search out God's word. Don't take the Bible for granted.  It IS THE BOOK WITH ALL THE ANSWERS TO LIFE!!! No matter what comes your way in life...REMEMBER...
