Hopefully Creed will get new stuff out soon

No excuse-Josh Board

Saved from eternal hell
I Repented so He gave me Grace
Used to be caught up in a world of hate
Put that behind me
Now I've turned away
I look towards heaven
As I begin to pray

I am wretched,pitiful,poor,blind and naked
I used to live for sin
Now I cherish what is sacred
I need to buy gold refined in the fire
I once followed the god and the prince of this world
Who has always been a liar

Lapsed and torn apart
The attention span of the world has gone astray
The'yre taking the class called life
But have fallen asleep and aren't paying attention
The world is daydreaming and not doing their homework
Most hearts and minds are somewhere else
Behind the window the devil has swayed
People to shut the drapes to shut out the Son
The final step for the new world order has finally begun

The Bible is the book
People should have read
Now they will take the mark
And be eternally dead

The devil is finally let completely loose
The people left behind will have no excuse

I agree with Mel-C. I hope both Creed and Alter Bridge endure!

Who do you belong to? Today we see many in the church that don't belong to Christ! A guy at the last church
I attended was a perfect example! As soon as his girlfriend dumped him he went right back to his old ways and
now says Christ isn't the only way to heaven. He was only reading his Bible and trying to act liked he changed
becasue he wanted to keep his girfriend then when she broke up with him he went right back to his old ways!

I saw a program on Tbn from a so called "Christian" leader who has members of his congregation that are pop
stars who sell sex/sing about sexual immorality and he endorses it/says it's okay? What? I was at a dinner and
was talking to a group of so called "Christians" who knew the lingo and the right things to say and then the waiter
brought over their shots of liquor. I told them Christians aren't supposed to get drunk and they all rolled their eyes.

I just saw a program last week of a well known pastor who said since Christ already paid for our sin we are fine
and don't need to be Born Again.Wrong! The Cross was the perfect example. Two guys were next to Jesus and
one had a change of heart/got Born Again and the other didn't and went to hell. Jesus told the Pharisee who snunk
out at night to see Him that no man can enter the kingdom of heaven without being/becoming Born Again! We all
need to Repent/get saved/become Born Again! Many belong to a pastor or church and want to impress their new
girlfriend and their husband or wife with quoting Bible verses and doing chraity work/helping/praying for people but
when you talk about sin and preach tough or things don't go right they fall away!

Jesus warned us that many will say to Me Lord,Lord did we not do so many wonderful works and helped so many
people and the Lord will then turn to them and say plainly depart from Me you are a worker of iniquity I never knew
you! It's important to develop a relationship with Christ on our own and stay grounded and know Him! Many come to
church and belong to their pastor and a group or a charity and a program but not to Christ!

The question is who do you belong to?

We have chameleon "Christians" who act one way at church/around their Christian friends and then act
another way around non-believers because they are afraid to preach the Truth because they want praise
from man instead of praise from God and Christ warned this will cost people their soul! If you are lukewarm
and still have a foot in the world you will be spit out of the Lords mouth which means you go to hell!

We see it all over the world with the chaos and confusion.Why? It's becasue bad mouthing religion has now
backfired and the devil is having a field day because people aren't reading the Word/Bible! America follows
this god of blessings/idol not the God of the Bible! That's why people are still drinking,drugging,mean and/or
making fun of people in a mean spirited way! The Bible says if you have a sharp tongue that your religion is
worthless! Everyone is "spiritual" now instead of Biblical! A girl at the last church I attended says that she is
"spiritual" and the only spirit she has is the mean one! If people are "Christian" why are they still having sex
outside of marriage and affairs? If people are married why are they flirting with people who aren't their spouse?
If people are single why are they flirting with married people? It's because too many "Christians" watch shows
like Sex in the City or Two and a Half men! Do you think Jesus would approve of these shows that endorse sleeping
around/sexual immorlaity and drinking? The Bible says flee from sexual immorality and that the sexual immoral
will not enter the kingdom of heaven and neither will any drunkard!

Gossip and coveting are two sins that are being swept under the rug and are still two of the devils biggest tools!
It hapened in the Garden of Eden. The devil got Eve to covet and used gossip to fool her. God really didn't say
that? is what the devil said to Eve.Same thing is happening today!People say God really didn't say or mean that!
That's why the Word/Bible is so important and staying grounded. This god of blessings/idol that people are now
following is why so many fall away and become bitter! People don't get blessed and then they think something is
wrong because God didn't bless them or pay for their bills not realizing the only thing Jesus came to pay for was
our sin! People don't want the God of the Bible and we have this god of blessings/idol to thank for fooling people!
People are followng the devil and don't even know it! That's how the whole world will be fooled. Everyone wants to
sing and dance/do the shimmy shake at church then have three girlfriends and say/do whatever and not be held
accountable! It's idolatry on ones self! Sound familiar? Same thing happened in heaven! The devil got full of
himself and wanted the praise for himself. Same thing is going on today with these feel good messages and
the "good person" lie people buy into. People forget the devil was the leader of praise and worship!

Man will perish for their lack of knowledge! People forget the devil poses as an angel of light and is very clever,
smart and sneaky! People are following satan/this god of blessings/idol and don't even realize it because they
aren't reading the Bible and have been tricked/fooled by seducing spirits because they have't been Born Again
and turned to God. People fall right into satans trap because they are following God for the wrong reasons and
Jesus warned us that many will be deceived even the very elect! You wanna know why people aren't reading the
Word and turning to the God of the Bible? It all starts in the pulpit! Preachers have been seduced by book deals
and money/satan/the devil/this god of blessings/idol! Now America and the rest of the world have as well and now
are following these false teachers for satan himself masquerades as an angel of light!

People forget how cunning the devil is! Spiritual warfare is very real! I can't tell you how many so called "Christians"
I meet mock the devil and people forget Jesus talked to the devil when He was tempted so people who say that the
devil is a myth and not real are calling God a liar! The Word of God is so very important that even when Jesus was
being tempted by the devil He used Scripture/the Word/the Bible! That's why the devil attacks the Bible so much! If
the devil can get people to doubt the Bible then he can get people to doubt God! Sound familiar? The devil is doing
the same thing today that he did in the garden of Eden.God didn't really say that did He? We see it everywhere with
people saying that God didn't really say or mean that did He? That's why we have so much confusion because we
have gotten so far away from the Truth of the Bible!

It's like all of these so called "Christians" who say Jesus isn't the only way to heaven? There is only one payment
for sin therefore there is only one way to heaven...Period! It's like all of these people who say there is no hell or
Jesus never was raised from the dead? Jesus warned about hell becasue it's real so people who say there is no
hell are calling God a liar! If Jesus was never raised from the dead and didn't come out of/from the grave then
why would the Roman soldiers lie and say the body was stolen?

The Bible holds up because of the prophecies that came true!Did anyone else go to the Cross/die for our sins? No!
You want to know why? It's because Jesus is the only way to heaven and all of these other religions and philsophies
are false! It's like all of these people who try to say Jesus was just a prophet? No true prophet can be revered if they
are a liar so if Jesus wasn't the Son of God He was a liar and can't be revered or a true prophet! So all of these new
age "gurus" or religions that say Jesus was a prophet don't make sense and their belief system doesn't hold up!
