FEARLESS, FAITHFUL:

OUTSIDE GOD, THERE IS NOTHING BUT NOTHING:
The Jews looked upon the Serpent to be freed from serpents; me and thee behold the demise of Jesus Christ to be delivered from eternal damnation.
It is not thy hold onto Jesus Christ that saveth thee; it is Jesus Christ.
It is not thy steamroller faith in Jesus Christ though that is instrumental.
It is Jesus Christ’s blood, grace and merit.
Jesus Christ is not one of the many ways to approach the ALMIGHTY LORD GOD; nor is HE the best of the several ways; HE is the way, the truth and the life.
Jesus Christ is the substitute for everything; however nothing is a substitute for Jesus Christ.
Through salvation: our past has been forgiven; our present is given meaning and our future is secured.
On an x-shaped cross at Patras in Greece. After being brutally, severely and mercilessly whipped by seven soldiers; his body was tied to the cross with cords in order to prolong his agony. His dyed-in-the-wool followers reported that when he was led towards the cross, he saluted them in the profound, history in the making sentiments,”I have looked forward with bated breath this joyous hour. The cross has been consecrated by the body of Jesus Christ hanging on it.” He egged on preaching to his tormentors for two consecutive days until he blew his last. He is the Disciple Andrew.
History teaches me and thee that Disciple Andrew went on to the land of man-eaters, the modern day United Social Soviet Union. Christians there believe that he was the first one to proclaim the Gospel in their land. He also preached in Asia Minor, modern day Turkey and in Greece where it is recorded that he was crucified on an x-shaped cross. He was stoned to death by the Jews at Salonica. He is the Disciple Barnabas.
He was the Gospel Missionary to Asia. He passionately witnessed for our Lord in modern day Turkey. He was martyred for his preaching in Armenia. He was flayed to death by a whip. He is the Disciple Bartholomew. He is also called the Disciple Nathaniel. He is the son to Mr. Zebedee and Mrs. Salome. Teaming up with his brother and dad, they were fishermen at the Sea of Galilee where Jesus Christ met them and subscribed them into the Ministry. He was a snappiest Church’s Triton among the minnows and ultimately beheaded at Jerusalem. The Roman Officer who guarded him watched, amazed at how he defended the faith in Jesus Christ at his trial. Later on, the Roman Officer intrepidly walked beside him to the place of execution. Vanquished by the dyed-in-the-wool conviction, he publicly declared his new faith in Jesus Christ; knelt beside him and was beheaded. Boy! Eat fat on the positive ripple effects. He is none other than the Disciple James the Greater.
He was the Church’s Leader in Jerusalem. He was thrown over 100 feet down from the Southeast pinnacle of the Temple; when he dogmatically refused to turn down his dyed-in-the-wool faith in Jesus Christ. When it dawned on them that by the ALMIGHTY LORD GOD’S transcendent grace he survived the fall; his tormentors mercilessly beat him to death by a fuller’s club. This is the same vicinity where Satan tempted Jesus Christ to throw Himself down. He is the Disciple James the Less.
He faced martyrdom when he was boiled in a huge caldron rife in hot burning oil; during he era of persecution in the Roman Empire.Miraculously, the ALMIGHTY LORD GOD leased upon him the new lease of life. His skin was more suave than that of a birthed bony, bouncing baby’s skin. Human beings are social beings thus in order to severely punish him, he was thrown into the lonely mines on the Prison Island of Patmos. This is the jetty of the last book in the Holy King James Bible called Revelation. He was later released and returned in a Bishop’s position at Edesa, modern day Turkey. In an ambient, calm, cool, composed, collected, old, serene and tranquil manner did he give up the ghost. Undeniably: he is the only Disciple who died peacefully. He is the Disciple John.
He was killed with arrows when he dogmatically refused to deny his dyed-in-the-wool faith in Jesus Christ. He is the Disciple Jude.
He was hanged under an olive tree in Greece as a result of his tremendous preaching to the lost souls. He is the ineffable Physician Luke.
At Alexandria in Egypt was he dragged through the streets until he blew his last. He is the Disciple Mark.
He suffered martyrdom in Ethiopia; killed by a sword’s wound. He is the Disciple Matthew.
He stepped into the Treasurer Judas Iscariot’s shoes. He was stoned and then beheaded. He is the Disciple Matthias.
He fervently aspired to propel the Gospel into Spain. He was severely tortured and beheaded by the bloody minded, bloody thirsty, draconian, dud, sordid and umami Emperor Nero in AD 67. His imprisonment birthed, heralded and ushered the authoring of the Epistles that form, teach and train believers on foundational Christian doctrines. The books form the lion’s share of the books in the Holy King James Bible. He is the intrepid Apologist, Apostle, Author and Philosopher Paul.
He commanded his tormentors to crucify him upside down on an x-shaped cross on the grounds that he is more lower than Jesus Christ to be crucified in an erect posture. He is the Disciple Peter.
He had a puissant Ministry at Carthage in North Africa and then Asia Minor. It is here at Asia Minor where through the ALMIGHTY LORD GOD’S transcendent grace; the better half, the wife, to the Roman Proconsul joined the faith. In retaliation, the Proconsul had him arrested and cruelly butchered him to death. He was hanged against a pillar at Heiropolis in Phrygia. He is the Disciple Philip.
He was stabbed by a spear at Coromandel in India during one of his Missionary trips to mastermind the Church in the sub-continent. He is the Disciple Thomas.
Experience teaches me and thee that there is no remedy for evil but to put heretics (Protestants) to death. For the Roman Catholic Church proceeded gradually by leaps and bounds and tried every remedy. At first, she merely excommunicated them; afterwards she added fire; then she banished them and finally she constrained to put them to death.
The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church.
He who bestows upon thee straits, teacheth thee wisdom.
The seller listens to the vendors’ noises in the market; however he/she does not listen to the noises in the market.
To hear the ambient, calm, cool, composed, collected, dexterous, dulcet, serene and tranquil voice of the ALMIGHTY LORD GOD; may thou turn down the world’s volume.
When the river dries up, me and thee shall openly as the pique see where the crocodile sleeps.
The chick that grows into the cock is seen as soon as it is hatched.
Hebrews 11:4-40.
