Jesus had to eat food and breathe to survive. What is so surprising to think that he wouldn't take a wife?

Does anyone remember God's first commandment to His Chosen People?

Be Plentiful and Multiply!

The Da Vinci Code is starting to make a lot of sense.

I am the Lord your God; you shall not have strange Gods before me.

I'm with you.......

For me, it made it possible for me to believe and actually see Jesus as....likeable.

Otherwise, there is almost nothing I can relate to....Mary M. gave me a window.

Oh, please. Read your Bible - start at the beginning, but when you get to Matthew, pay attention to this:

1Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil.

2After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.

3The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread."

4Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"

5Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple.

6"If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down. For it is written: " 'He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'"

7Jesus answered him, "It is also written: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'"

8Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.

9"All this I will give you," he said, "if you will bow down and worship me."

10Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'"

11Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.

When you let God's angels attend you, you have no need for earthly things. When you live by the Word, you have no need for the food of the world. When you trust God and do not test Him, you will be protected. When you worship God and serve Him only, you have no need for girls, gold or glory.

One can talk and think himself into damn near anything only if his or her heart is the equivalent to a lost ship at sea with no sail. When a seed falls onto a stone it dries up, but when the seed falls into fertile ground it gives life. What is the stone and what is the fertile ground? Hmm....

We are at a time when Christianity is slipping into a deep sleep while the wave of atheist communism continues to grow. There are many more people who go to church and call themselves Christian, but as soon as they leave those doors all bets are off because they support those who represent homosexuality, the sexualization of our children, the destruction of marriage, the advocation of abortion, the dismantling of "the" Christianity which was the cornerstone to building this great nation.

Many lack commitment and discipline because many have given into pressures that teach people to do whatever feels good. Feeling good is God. Worship the self. Worship the external. Worship the temporary and not the eternal. Worship the now.

As I have said many times. The Cross is offensive to many because it is too heavy to carry. There are those who are working day and night to abolish It. Who said communism is dead? It is alive and well indeed in Hollywood, the ground zero of communism.
