    About this ebook

    I have read the Old Testament once and listened to the audio version once. I have read the New Testament twice and have listened to the audio version over 3 times. I read the Holy Koran once as well as the Torah once. I think we all have sinned and I am no different, but I have been close to God all my life and have tried to stay on that narrow path of righteousness as much as I could. I have kept the dedication and the will to try to do what is right in the eyes of the Lord from day to day. I love God with all of my heart, body and soul and I try to love my neighbor as myself but we all know some neighbors make it hard on us to do so but we still must try. I’m not a theologian, a minister, a pastor or a bishop but I do consider myself a man of God who is not perfect but trying to figure life out and stay focused on following the will of God. Although, there are some things I need to work on, just like everybody else, I am still a work in progress. This book is about some of my interpretations from the bible as well as from Abrahamic religions. I think God has blessed me with the wisdom to understand some of His will. So in this book, I interpret a variety of issues and topics that I hope you will enjoy reading and will bring you closer to God.

    Thank you God for all my blessings!

    Amen

      SPIRITUAL CHALLENGES

      Colossians 1:9-10 (NIV)

      For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,

      Jeremiah 17:10 (NIV)

      I the LORD search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.

      I think we all start out seeking love, peace and happiness, before the world has had a chance to damage our souls. Jesus said that the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these. He was referring to little children, when telling his disciples not to prevent them from coming to Him. It is my understanding that He was telling them the kingdom of heaven belonged to people who are innocent, like children are innocent, because they have yet to become corrupted by the world. We have to live our life in such a way to be as innocent as children and uncorrupted by the world. We are constantly being feed evil, from the time that we are born and we all have a different amount of evil that penetrates our mind, body and soul. God gave us his Word, which is Jesus Christ, to show us the way to eternal life. To show us how to live a good life and put up a shield against all evil. For, we all have sinned, except Jesus. I believe we are all born equal in God’s eyes and we were put on earth to go through a test, to see if we are worthy to be in God’s everlasting presence. Some of us are born in high stations in life and some of us are born in low positons in life. Some of us go through little suffering, while others go through a lot of suffering. Even God’s son, Jesus, went through a lot of suffering, so who are we to question why God has allowed us to suffer? The test is to see how we respond, to whatever plight we have been given in life. Both good and bad plights in life can cause one to fall short of glory, in the eyes of the Lord.

      You can be put into a struggling life style, where you are poor and even being abused. This bad condition in life can cause you to become physically and mentally damaged. But, where is the test in this plight of life you may ask? Well, the test is how your soul changes for the better or worse. Does this bad position in life cause you to also become an evil person and look to return the favor and seek out other innocent people to destroy and hurt them, just like people have hurt you? Do you look to step on people and abuse them, as a means to take away some of your hurt? Do you hurt people, so you will feel vindicated about the bad things that were done to you? Did these terrible things cause you to become a slave to evil? The bible says you cannot serve two masters or you will love one and despise the other. That you know a fruit by the roots of the tree and a good tree bares good fruit, whereas a bad tree bares bad fruit. When reading the bible, it says to turn the other cheek, so you have to tell yourself that you will not do to others, the same dirty things that were done to you. For when you let the Devil make you do Devilish things, because they were done to you, then you become
