THE JOURNEY

Posted: 02/15/2010

<>THE JOURNEY<> How shall I come before the Lord and bow myself before the high God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings with year-old calves? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has shown you O man what is good. And what does the Lord require of you but to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. The Bible-Micah 6:6-8                                                                         <>THE  DESTINATION<> So live that when thy summons comes to join that enumerable caravan which moves to that mysterious realm where each shall take his chamber in the silent halls of death. Thou go not like the quarry slave at night, scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained by an unfaltering trust approach thy grave like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams. William Cullen Bryant                                                  <>THE DIRECTIONS<> A person cannot know you and be a part of your life until he understands and accepts your words which reveal you and express your wishes. Jesus, who was and is the words of God, said the same thing about understanding God and being a part of his life.   I am the way and the truth and the life. No one is coming to the Father except by me. Jesus-John 14:6

The Conduct of a Brat

Posted: 01/14/2010

The Conduct of a Brat   In addition to the many sorrows of the world, one of the poorest of nations experiences the wrath of the natural world in which it lives. At the risk of sounding religious, could we for a moment remember that God placed all of creation under the authority of man? The Bible contains many references of man commanding the forces of nature and even the rotation of the earth.  The instructions of God for morality are not to satisfy him but to enable man to maintain his ability to govern the world in which he lives. The farther man moves away from the ways of God the less he understands who he is and the less he is able to use authority given him by God.   Nature responds to man the way man responds to God. When man acts like a spoiled, self-centered brat, nature follows his example. Spoiled brats, both man and nature, have no sympathy for injury to others, even if they are innocent. Destructions of nature are not signs of God’s wrath or the end of time but the witness of a world filled with evil people bent on destruction. Nature, man’s bratty child, is only doing what it sees its parent doing. A word to the wise is sufficient.    You may respond at kdavoice@aol.com

The Love That Is In The Box

Posted: 11/27/2009

Christmas came...a special day, even strangers wished me well. Everyone had a good word to say and some had a story to tell. The gifts looked great. I got a cap, a shirt, a tie and socks, but the best was not the gifts and wrap, it was the love that was in the box. Some gifts cost money, others cost time, they all are welcome to me.  It doesn't matter if the cards don't rhyme or the meaning is difficult to see. Someone said, "It's the thought that counts," even if the thought is socks. What's important is not the amounts but the love that is in the box. God made a box from his special plan and placed himself inside. The tiny baby became a man and for our sins he died. He alone is able to save and open sin's prison locks. The only key is what he gave...his love that was in the box. Best wishes to you and yours on this traditional birthday of Jesus. Kris Doulos       kdavoice@aol.com

TRADITIONS

Posted: 07/06/2009

Sometimes we hesitate to share our thoughts because we think they might be offensive. Belief based only upon tradition or personal opinion causes a person to defend himself with an emotional bias that reduces the ability of his brain to think objectively. The purpose of the following thoughts is not to offend but to provoke you to objective thought and possibly supply you with a message you can pass along to someone who might benefit from it.                                              T R A D I T I O N S Once a human brain has embraced a particular way of thinking it is extremely difficult for it to listen to any idea which challenges what it has previously learned. What is the source of your learning about God…religious tradition, personal opinion or what God says in the Bible?   Did you learn the religious tradition that Armageddon is a name for an end-of-time destruction or, did you learn the Bible calls Armageddon “The Great Day of Almighty God”? A day begins at sunset. Armageddon does not represent destruction and death, it represents redemption and life. Armageddon began in the darkness of Gethsemane and ended in the sunlight of Calvary. This was the evening and morning of the first day of eternal creation that began the reign of God in man. The light shined into the world darkened by sin and the darkness could not overcome the light. (John 1:5)   Did you learn the religious tradition the word “Apocalypse” also represents destruction or, did you learn the word “Apocalypse” is the first word in the Book of Revelation and means “to reveal”? In Revelation Jesus reveals the strategy his people must use to survive in a world dominated by Satan and Satan’s people. Its message applies to every person of every generation.   Did you learn the religious tradition that presents Revelation as a book of predictions about the future and is too confusing to understand or, did you learn Revelation was given by Jesus to teach his people how to cope in their journey in the womb of time? Revelation reveals the corruption in the church, the wickedness of government and the greed of commerce. Revelation reveals the exile of Satan to earth caused by the crucifixion of Jesus. Revelation distinguishes a Christian from a non-Christian and shows Jesus to be a constant companion of his people. Revelation reveals Heaven, not future of time but above time, existing now. The message of Revelation is relevant for every generation of people in time. It is on Satan’s most hated list of messages from God.   Did you learn the religious tradition that Jesus is coming at the end of time to destroy the lost and take the Saints to Heaven or, did you learn Jesus told the Apostles he would return to them as the Spirit of Truth (John 14:18) and, in fact, returned in his true form (spirit) on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4)? Many say, “I know Jesus lives because he lives within my heart.” If that is true, when did he return? God is spirit and they who worship him must worship him (in) as a spirit and in truth. (John 4:24). Like Adam, before God made him a body, we exist independent of a physical body and its brain.   Did you learn the religious tradition which says the writings of Paul are the perfect words of God because they are a part of the Bible or, did you learn that Paul, though dedicated, was influenced by religious traditions like any other person? Not having the Gospel of John and Revelation, Paul relied upon Jewish traditions and was wrong about the second coming of Jesus in the same way he was wrong about the first coming of Jesus. He contradicted himself and Jesus about a final resurrection.   Did you learn the religious tradition that certain buildings are houses of God where people go to worship him and religious icons and ritual represent God’s presence or, did you learn “The Most High” does not dwell in things made with hands (Acts 7:48) but in a human body which he designed as a residence for a human spirit who can invite God to share his residence. God is not something produced by the brain’s imagination and emotion. The role of the brain is to be the servant of the human spirit and is responsible for proper care of the residence where God and that human spirit reside.   Did you learn the religious tradition that God is unknowable or, did you read Genesis where God talked with Adam as clearly as one person talking to another? Did you learn God can reveal truth directly to you like he did to Peter? God’s willingness to speak directly to a person is the foundation upon which the church is established? Did you learn the key to talking with God is not knowledge about him but trust in what he says to you? God will talk to any person who will listen the same way he talked to Adam and Peter.   Did you learn the religious tradition that every person claiming a right to his own opinion about God, obligates God to excuse his wrong opinion or, did you learn God is a specific and unique being like you and does not change to accommodate someone’s wrong opinion of him any more than you change to accommodate someone’s wrong opinion of you? What God says is who he is and what he does.   Did you learn the religious tradition that sincerity makes a person acceptable to God even if he doesn’t accept the blood of Jesus as atonement for his condition of sin or, did you learn sin is an incurable, terminal disease, infecting every human born into this world and only responds to one antidote. That antidote is the blood of Jesus administered on the frequency of faith. God gave all he had to provide the antidote. The cure is available. The price is self-centeredness and pride. The choice belongs to you and me.   Did you learn the religious tradition that the abyss is a boundless pit in the heart of the earth where Satan will be bound or, did you learn the only boundless, physical thing in time is the human brain where a person binds Satan with the truth of God or is bound by Satan’s lies because of ignorance of and lack of submission to the words of God?   Religious traditions can sedate your brain so you can’t objectively respond to God’s truth. Traditions caused the Jews to crucify Jesus and Paul to persecute Christians. Be sure your faith in God is built upon the words of God and not your or some person’s opinion.                      Best wishes to you and yours,          Kris Doulos

WHY GOD LEFT AMERICA ALONE

Posted: 05/14/2009

WHY GOD LEFT AMERICA ALONE   An oft repeated statement is, “People who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it.” Look at the history of God and Israel. When Israel honored God’s instructions they treated each other with respect. When they became immoral and self centered, God stepped back and let them deal with their differences, their problems and their enemies on their own. America turned her back on God and is now having to face her problems and enemies with the retarded reasoning of knowledge instead of the faith in God which made her great.   Leaders who control powerful groups in America have put up smoke screens to hide the real cause of and solution to our problems. People see God as an opinion or idea instead of a real living being. Reducing God to a human opinion provides man with a god limited to the ability of his opinion. Morality is the foundation of any civilization. God gave America a moral code which would protect her people from the destructive forces of immorality and greed but there were too many people who were smarter than God. Satan does not rule by his own power, he rules by getting arrogant, ignorant and naïve people to adjust what God says so, in their minds, God accepts them with all their evil. Because America is controlled by immoral and compromising people, God is not welcome.   The greatest need for America is not protection from her physical enemies. Her greatest need is to repent of her rebellion against God. God doesn’t meddle in affairs where he is not welcome. America has clearly told God he is not welcome in churches, synagogues and mosques which teach a history and philosophy of God and accept emotion, produced by the brain, as the presence of God. America has clearly told God he is not welcome in the education of her children because his name is offensive. America has clearly told God he is not welcome in government because he is opposed to lying. America has clearly told God he is not welcome in commerce because he is opposed to stealing.   One look at the conduct of masses of Americans reveals indisputable proof of how stupid the human brain can become. Faith, a communication frequency that permits access to God, has been taken off the table. Jesus gave the book of Revelation to warn his people of the three major forces (religion, government and commerce) Satan uses to control and destroy people. He told his people to overcome these forces by remaining true to his words and his name. Overcoming is not done by an army but by one person at a time. When religion dilutes God’s words, compromises with evil and is embarrassed by his name, we must recognize this façade of righteousness, embrace God’s words and name and overcome. When government becomes a pawn of money and special interests, we must stand with truth and justice and overcome. When commerce is ruled by greed and power brokers we must refuse to be seduced by Mammon and overcome.   God stands ready to act but he will continue to leave America alone with her problems and her enemies who hate the Bible upon which she was established until she repents of her sinful ways. America’s most dangerous enemies are not without, they are within. They are not invisible. They are the people who use situation ethics to excuse evil and opinion to replace God’s words. The handwriting is on the wall. Can you read it?                 Kris Doulos              kdavoice@aol.com       www.krisdoulos.com

THE WORLD'S GREATEST CRIMINALS

Posted: 08/02/2008

The laws of God are good for man, they help him control his flaws. Yet laws of God are often repealed by the "expedient" use of man's laws. Christian crusaders embraced God's love. Devoted, they believed in God's cause. They slaughtered Muslims for the sake of land with an "indulgence" received from their laws. They said they believed in the Word of God. They preached it as having no flaw, then murdered the Indian and took his land, made "right" by pettifogging the law. The black man of Africa was a means of wealth. "Whites" enslaved each one they saw. Made equal by God, they were treated as chattel by "righteous folks" who distorted the law. 6,000,000 Jews were treated like vermin because they were stuck in Hitler's craw. He snuffed out their lives without mercy and was legal according to the law. What is right is no longer the rule. Lawyers see each weakness as a taw. They encourage a tort then go to church and feel innocent, "excused" by the law. The balm of justice is left on the shelf. Greed and vengeance infect like yaws. Like an addict on drugs, we get our "fix" by suing someone in the court of laws. Lady Justice is ill; her blindfold removed; she's stripped and looks on in the raw. Her once noble way falls prey to a gavel in the hand of an "officer" of the law. God looks on and bides his time while man treads down truth like straw. A day of "judgement" awaits each one who thinks he's exempt from God's law. "My Way" is a shortcut to a place called "Hell" where pain and sorrow tear like a claw. Ignore God's words and eventually you'll hear the unappealable verdict of God's law.  You may respond at kdavoice@aol.com

GIGO

Posted: 07/25/2008

One day I purchased a new computer. It came with a program to fit its need. It permitted me to add my program and gave instructions I should heed. I was amazed at my computer. It reached around the world and beyond. I tried all sorts of things for my delight. To me it was like having a magic wand. Curiosity led me in search of many things which my conscience said I shouldn't do. It is my computer I can do what I please. I soon met problems I never knew. Now I'm hooked on things not good for me. The computer is acting like my boss. I no longer trust what it tells me. It's driving my life toward a total loss. GIGO is a word which describes the way your brain, a computer, responds to you. If you put Garbage In you'll get Garbage Out.It's your equipment.That's all it can do. There is another meaning for GIGO. It is the same process with a better life. Put Goodness In get Goodness Out. You're the programmer. Is it peace or strife? If you want your brain to tell the truth you must program it with truth every day. Feeding your brain with things not true will blind you to life's better way. This is not opinion concocted by someone. It's a law God established long ago. GIGO means what you sow you will reap. Your life proves what God said is so. How do you change a brain filled with junk? You can't do it, you need a geek. The top geek is God; a brain problem solver. Talk to him. Tell him what you seek. Program your brain with the words of God. Avoid junk which does fit fit your need. Your brain gives you back what you put in so, make sure you put in God's seed. Don't let yourself be led into error. God is not ignoring you (turning his face away from you). That which a person sows, this same thing he will reap. If he sows in preference to his physical nature, he will reap moral decay. If he sows in preference to his spirit (a carbon copy of God), from the spirit realm he will receive eternal life. (Galatians 6:7 8)

America's Leaders

Posted: 06/19/2008

Do all the tragedies and violence in the world make you wonder if God really exists?  The book of Revelation tells of the destruction of Babylon but identifies Babylon as Jerusalem.  The details listed fit the characteristics of the USA very well.  America's knowledge about God comes from Jews who wrote the messages contained in the Bible.  Established upon the principles set forth in the Bible, America became the greatest nation in the history of man.  God keeps his word. The nation which honors him lives under the mantle of his safety.  The nation which does not honor him receives the results of its own decisions and conduct.  A nation's leaders set the standard for the people.  These are the primary leaders of America: Politicians Politicians are like leeches sucking the life's blood from the people while pretending to be servants of the people.  They control with laws which they don't apply to themselves. They embrace "Criticism", the spiritual creature of Revelation 13:1, as their mentor, effectively dividing the nation. Broken promises, deceitful avoidance of truth and self-serving leadership leave distrust and violence in their wake. The Press and Media The American press and media condemned Pravda when it was controlled by Stalin because he only permitted information he wanted the people to know. Now they are like Pravda promoting an agenda and reporting only what they want the people to know. They encourage evil by putting evildoers in the spotlight. Lawyers and Judges Lawyers and judges, sworn to truth and justice, develop a vocabulary to redefine truth and a rationale to redefine justice.  The result is a deceiving twisting of words which make the word "lawyer" synonymous with "liar."  The "whole truth" is not a binding part of the oath for the lawyer and judge. Hollywood Hollywood has shown the world how to make immorality and violence desirable and acceptable by calling it fun and entertainment.  Their respect for the Bible is comparable to the respect for a Sears and Roebuck catalog in an outhouse. Government School Teachers Teachers are given the sacred trust of teaching the young but many seem more concerned about their own desires and use the power of their union to get their way, even if it is detrimental to their students.  They submit to man's law which requires them to tell the children the words of God recorded in the Bible are not true.  Then they go to their religious meeting place and pretend to "worship" the God whose words are not true. The Clergy The clergy reduce God to theology and put him in a book to be studied. They amend what God says in the Bible to fit their opinion and agenda. They know many things about God but often fail to resemble God. They make sincerety a ticket to Heaven regardless of a person's conduct and belief.  They build doctrinal fences which limit what they and the members of their congregation can do for God.  If God should ask a cleric to do something for him contrary to the teachings of the cleric's religious group (as God asked Abraham to do), the chances are good the cleric would reason the request to be a bad dream or a hallucination and refuse to obey God.  Religious ceremonies become a substitute for a personal, minute-by-minute relationship with God.  Political correctness lures the clergy away from the truth about the dead spiritual state of mankind causing people to become ignorant and/or indifferent to the fact that the death of a human spirit caused by refusing God's help is worse than any physical malady.  This lack of intelligence leaves people blind to the fact that every human attaining mental responsibility, must admit his rebellion against God when God speaks to him in spirit, repent of that rebellion and totally submit to God to be healed of the disease called "sin." How can all these intelligent people, acting so contrary to God, think they believe in God?  The answer is religion.  Religion teaches people about God but can't give them the faith required to access God. Religion teaches them to, like Satan, "believe in" God but can't supply the faith to "believe" God.  Religion is a vaccination which makes the inoculated immune to God. Religion is an opiate which dulls a person's senses to his own spiritual condition and the reality of God. America, clothed in religion and political correctness, is a religious, un-Godly nation like the church of Laodicea (Revelations 3:14-17).  We make God sick at his stomach.  We are like vomit in his mouth.  Because our religious leaders tell us we're ok we refuse to look for ourselves and read the handwriting on the wall.  We are being weighed in the balances and unless we individually repent and turn to God, the United States of America will be found lacking and will collapse under the weight of her sin. Here is a question from Jesus to America:  "Why do you call me Lord and not do what I tell you?" (Luke 6:46) Here is a warning from Jesus:   Jer USA lem!  Jer USA lem!  The killer of prophets who stoned those sent to you.  How many times I desired to gather your children even as a hen gathers her brood under her wings and you refused. Watch!  Your house will become like a desert. (Matthew 23: 37, 38). You may respond at kdavoice@aol.com.

HOW CAN THE SURFACE OF THE SEAS BE ROUND?

Posted: 06/07/2008

The law of gravity pulls things toward the center of gravity until it is stopped by another object stronger than the pull of gravity. Water will seek its lowest level and wherever it stops, the water at the bottom will conform to that surface but the top will become flat and level. This permitted people in ancient times constructing a large edifice to make the foundation level by digging trenches encompassing the purposed structure.They filled the trenches with water enabling them to determine the exact elevation anywhere in the construction area. A long clear hose can be filled with water to accomplish the same thing when an instrument is not available. The seas are not flat on the surface as the law of physics should require. The surface of the seas follows the dominant contour of the earth making the surface of the water round instead of flat. Knowing the nature of water gave people in the pre-Columbus days a logical reason to believe the earth was flat. The words in Genesis 1:9, 10 cause some people to think the dry land floated up out of the waters but that is not what God said. God said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together in one place." The land did not float up out of the water, the water was ordered by God to go to a particular place and that action  caused dry land to appear. Today, if the waters contained in the oceans were to obey the law of physics instead of the word of God, they would seek their lowest, unhindered level and cover the earth with water as they did in the flood. The same kind of phenomenon defying the law of gravity occurred when the sea waters separated and stood up like walls when Israel crossed the Red Sea. The words of God may not always be understood but they are always in authority. God delegated the authority over creation to Adam and his decendents. When nature ravages the land with storms, floods, earthquakes, diseases, ete., it is showing the same disrespect for the authority man was given over it that man shows for the authority of God. Corrupt and misused authority produces disrespect and unrest in the ranks. In all creation only man, with his retarded brain, is senseless enough to alter and rebell against the words of God. To replace the words of God with the delusions and imaginations of the human brain is consistent with the retarded nature of the human brain.

What The Book of Revelation Tells Us

Posted: 06/02/2008

1. The word "apocalypse" does not represent some end-time catastrophe. The meaning of the word "apocalypse" is "to reveal". It is the first word in the book of Revelation and explains the purpose of the book which is to reveal Jesus as he reveals truths believers need, to avoid being caught up in the world's systems which lead to destruction. 2. Armageddon is not some future battle. It is called "The Great Day of Almighty God". It is the day which began in Gethsemane where Jesus took control of his brain and prevented it from shutting down his body after sorrow had caused a condition which warranted death. The day ended at Calvary when Jesus said, "It is finished". 3. The word "abyss" ("bottomless pit") means a place with no boundary. The only boundless thing in time is the human brain. Satan is "bound" in a human brain in the sense he is limited to the intelligence and ability of that person's brain. He is loosed by the will of that person by exciting his imagination. Satan's only power is a lie. 4. The Great White Throne Jugdment takes place at the end of each person's life in time. This is the only meaningful "end of time" for him. Being made dead by sin and refusing the life offered by God, he must reap for eternity what he sowed in time. 5. The three groups used by Satan to rule the world are religion, government and commerce. In the seven churches Jesus reveals how Satan's self-willed people mingle with believers committed to the will of God. They dilute truth and substitute religious ceremony and secular ideas which produce a religion about God instead of a relationship with God. The four horsemen represent government which rules with force and death. The "mark of the beast" (666) represents commerce which demands everyone "think" (on the head) and/or "do" (on the right hand) what the rulers of commerce require to stay employed so they can "buy and sell". Truth and integrity become casualties. 6. No matter what a person says his attitude toward God is his attitude toward his fellowman reveals his true attitude toward God. The two things which distinguish a believer from an unbeliever are (1) an undying commitment to the words of God and (2) the name which represents those words. Whether they are the words which produced time and creation, the words God spoke to Moses, the words God spoke to the prophets, the words spoken by the "man" named Jesus or the words spoken to John in Revelation, all are the words of God and the human name which represents all of God's words is Jesus (Jehovah saves). 7. The carnal brain interprets things transmitted by the physical senses. The human spirit (a carbon copy of God) is greatly superior in intelligence and ability to the brain. To the human brain the book of Revelation is impossible to comprehend, because of all the illogical images and statements, unless it is informed by the human spirit. As he did with his parables, Jesus speaks in Revelation so "hearing they will hear and not understand and seeing they will see and not perceive". "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches". Understanding Revelation will cause your brain to order your life to be lived today...now. The past is an impotent memory and the future is an elusive vapor. Only "now" can a person commune with God. "Now" is an indescribable, timeless sample of eternity.
