		<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://darrellbaudoin.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/demons.gif" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2307" title="demons" src="http://darrellbaudoin.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/demons-300x225.gif" alt="Demons in Disguise" width="215" height="161" /></a>Satan has been around for a long time; longer than 6000 years, he tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:1).</p>
<p><strong>A few facts:</strong></p>
<p>Satan is not omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing) or omnipresent (can be in more then one place at a time).</p>
<p>Satan is an Angel, a fallen Angel. (Isaiah 14:12-14)</p>
<p>Satan was thrown from Heaven because his pride led him to rebel against God. (Ezekiel 28:12-17)</p>
<p>Satan deceived and took with him one third of all angels in Heaven. (Revelation 12:7-9)<br />
He can only be in one place at a time, so he needs his demons to help him and report back to him. If Satan could read our thoughts or if he were &#8220;all knowing&#8221; (omniscient) he wouldn&#8217;t need any help from demons.</p>
<p>Satan does know exactly how people think though, and he knows the weakness of humans.</p>
<p>This is how he’s able to tempt us; otherwise, he would not have wasted his time tempting Job. Job 1:6-12, or Jesus. Matthew 4:1-11.  Satan certainly did <strong>not</strong> know what Job would do.  He had not read Job&#8217;s mind; he had simply made a guess based on his observations (his walking to and fro, and up and down in the earth) and he was certainly wrong.</p>
<p>Satan has had a lot of time to practice. He knows exactly how to influence man. You better believe that the enemy knows the Bible better than any human being does.</p>
<pre>Satan has the power to deceive those who do not follow,
or have God's Word in them. If you are not full of God's
Word, that leaves "room" for the Devil's minions to come in.</pre>
<p>&#8220;The great dragon was hurled down, that ancient serpent called the devil,<br />
or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth,<br />
and his angels with him.&#8221; (Revelation 12:9, NIV)</p>
<p>Satan was brought under the power and authority of Jesus when He died for<br />
our sins and established His Kingdom and His church. Satan no longer has<br />
power over us and by this, we can be sure that the devil, Satan, cannot<br />
read our thoughts.  Revelation 12:7-17</p>
<p>Only God and his Son Jesus Christ can read the minds and the hearts of mankind.</p>
<p>This is the four Bible definitions of sin.</p>
<p>1) &#8220;Sin is the transgression of the law.&#8221; 1 John 3:4</p>
<p>2) &#8220;Sin is anything that is unrighteous, not like Christ.&#8221; 1 John 5:17</p>
<p>3) &#8220;Sin is failure to follow the things we know to be right.&#8221; James 4:17</p>
<p>4) &#8220;Sin is lack of faith in God and His Word.&#8221; Romans 14:23</p>
<pre><strong>The "in" thing today is talking to the dead.</strong> 

Psychics and mediums actually believe that they are communicating
with the dead. The truth is that a supernatural world indeed does
exist, and people miss the familiar voices of loved ones, but they
are sadly mistaken about mediums communicating with spirits of the
dead.
A thorough Bible study into this interesting topic will prove without
a doubt that the dead know nothing, they are dead and cannot speak.</pre>
<p>These mediums are really communicating with demons that&#8217;s posing as ghosts and dead relatives. The last book in the Bible has this warning, &#8220;For they are spirits of demons, performing signs&#8230;..&#8221; Revelation 16:14</p>
<p>The Bible clearly says, &#8220;For our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies.</p>
<p>Then, when our dying bodies have been transformed into bodies that will never die, this Scripture will be fulfilled: Death is swallowed up in victory.&#8221;</p>
<p>Study God&#8217;s Word and it&#8217;s easy to see that we aren&#8217;t immortal, not until the last day. That&#8217;s not the last day of our life, but the day that Jesus returns!  Don&#8217;t give in to the same lie that was told to Eve, &#8220;Ye shall not surely die&#8221; Genesis 3:4</p>
<p><strong>There is a difference between being able to plant a thought in someone&#8217;s mind and being able to read a person&#8217;s mind.</strong> When someone writes a book or speaks a word they are able to stimulate thoughts in people&#8217;s mind, but they cannot see what is happening beneath the surface. The only one that the Bible ever speaks of as being able to read the thoughts is the Lord. (1 Chronicles 28:9; Psalm 94:11; Psalm 139:23; Matthew 12:25; Luke 6:8) This is one of the very strong evidences that Jesus was the Son of God.</p>
<p>Though Satan is able to guess at our thoughts through observing, and suggest thoughts through circumstances and stimuli, there is no indication in the Bible that he can actually read our thoughts.</p>
<p>Keep looking up &#8211; Jesus is coming back!</p>

<p><strong>The book of Matthew reveals          that Jesus repeated the history of ancient Israel</strong>, point by           point, and overcame where they failed. Notice these          parallels between ancient Israel and of  Jesus Christ:</p>
<li>In the Old Testament, a young man named Joseph had dreams and  went into          Egypt to preserve his family alive (Genesis 45:5). In  the New Testament          we find another Joseph, who likewise had  dreams and then went to Egypt          to preserve his family (Matthew  2:13).</li>
<li>When the young nation of Israel came out of Egypt, God called that  nation          &#8220;my son&#8221; in Exodus 4:22. When the baby Jesus came out of  Egypt, God said,          &#8220;Out of Egypt have I called my son.&#8221; Matthew  2:15.</li>
<li>When Israel left Egypt, the people went through the Red Sea. The  apostle          Paul says they were &#8220;baptized unto Moses &#8230; in the  sea.&#8221; 1 Corinthians          10:2. Jesus was also baptized &#8220;to fulfill  all righteousness,&#8221; and immediately          afterward God proclaimed  Him, &#8220;my beloved Son&#8221; (Matthew 3:15-17).</li>
<li>After the Israelites went through the Red Sea, they spent 40 years  in          the wilderness. Immediately after His baptism, Jesus was  &#8220;led up of the          Spirit into the wilderness&#8221; for 40 days (Matthew  4:1, 2).</li>
<li>At the end of their 40-year wilderness wandering, Moses wrote the  book          of Deuteronomy. At the end of Jesus&#8217; 40 days in the  wilderness, He resisted          Satan&#8217;s temptations by quoting three  Scriptures-all from Deuteronomy!</li>
<li>In Psalm 80:8, God calls Israel a &#8220;vine&#8221; that He brought &#8220;out of  Egypt.&#8221;          Yet Jesus later declared, &#8220;I am the true vine.&#8221; John  15:1. In the Old          Testament, the name &#8220;Israel&#8221; first applied to  one man, to Jacob. It represented          Jacob&#8217;s spiritual victory  over sin. Even so, in the beginning of the New          Testament we  discover that Jesus Christ is the new Israel who came &#8220;out          of  Egypt.&#8221; He is the one victorious Man who overcame all sin!<strong>A New Nation</strong><br />
Yet there is more. Remember that the name &#8220;Israel&#8221; not only referred             to Jacob, but also to his descendants, who became Israel. The  same principle            is seen in the New Testament.</p>
<p>For example, the Lord had told the ancient Israelites, &#8220;And ye shall             be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation.&#8221; Exodus  19:6. In            the New Testament, Peter applies these exact words  to the church: &#8220;But            ye are a chosen generation, a royal  priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar            people.&#8221; 1 Peter 2:9.</p>
<p>Likewise, right after Paul&#8217;s statement in Galatians chapter 3 about             Jesus being &#8220;the seed,&#8221; he then told his Gentile converts [a  Gentile            is any person who is not of the Jewish faith], &#8220;And  if ye be Christ&#8217;s,            then are ye Abraham&#8217;s seed, and heirs  according to the promise.&#8221; Galatians            3:29. Thus in the New  Testament, the name Israel not only applies to Jesus Christ,  but also to those who are born in Christ-His church! In            other  words, all true Christians are now God&#8217;s spiritual Israel.</p>
<p><strong>Double Vision</strong><br />
Have you ever been hit hard on the head and then started seeing double?             Well, from what we have studied, the Christian world needs a  loving            bonk on the head with this New Testament truth so that  more people will            start &#8220;seeing double&#8221; about the subject of  Israel! According to the            New Testament, there are now two  Israels. One group is composed of literal            Israelites  &#8220;according to the flesh&#8221; (Romans 9:3, 4). The other is &#8220;spiritual             Israel,&#8221; composed of Jews and Gentiles who believe in Jesus Christ.</p>
<p>Paul wrote, <strong>&#8220;They are not all Israel, which are of Israel.&#8221;</strong> Romans             9:6. That is, not all are part of God&#8217;s spiritual Israel who  are of            the literal nation of Israel. Paul continued, &#8220;That  is, They which are            the children of the flesh [physical  descendants of Abraham], these are            not the children of God:  but the children of the promise are counted            for the seed.&#8221;  Romans 9:8. The children of the flesh are only natural             descendants of Abraham, but the children of the promise are counted             as the true seed. Today any person-Jew or Gentile-can become a  part            of this spiritual nation of Israel through faith in  Jesus Christ.</p>
<p><strong>God Looks on the Heart</strong><br />
Just as there are two Israels, there are also two kinds of Jews!</p>

<p>Also, the seven last  plagues that are found in Revelation 15 and 16 talks about the angels that pour out the vials of God’s wrath.  It’s just before the second coming  of Jesus because the seventh of the seven last plagues is synonymous  with the coming of the Lord.</p>
<p>There’s a lot of similarity  between the seven last plagues and the plagues that fell on Egypt.</p>
<p>The plagues fell on Egypt just before the Children of Israel were  liberated from their slavery.  The plagues are going to fall on this  wicked world just before Spiritual Israel, God’s people, are liberated  from the world that is in bondage to sin.  And so, just before the  second coming, there will be a period&#8211;based on some things  in Revelation and Daniel, I have good reason to believe the period of the plagues is all going  to fit within one years’ time, perhaps even just over a month.  When you look at the severity of these things, you can imagine  how long the world can go on with the fresh water supply being blood,  or the oceans being blood, and most of the population of the world lives  either by rivers or oceans, and men being scorched with great heat.   And another reason, how long did the plagues last that fell on Job, it  was just a matter of weeks when you read the context.</p>
<p>How long did the plagues last that fell on Egypt; again it was in the  matter of within a couple months’ time, and so for these reasons, based  on those stories, the plagues will probably fall just with a few  months.  And it says in Revelation, “All of her plagues come within one  day”, and a day in prophecy is a year.  So within a year’s time it all  happens.</p>
<p>The intensity will be different in different parts of the world, the  same way it was in Egypt.  But God promises to protect His people all  through those plagues, just like He protected the Children of Israel  through the plagues that fell on Egypt.  We don’t need to be afraid;  that’s why we should memorize Psalm 91.</p>

<p>Each blood-type also has an accompanying Rhesus or Rh factor of either positive or negative.</p>
<p>The most commonly found blood-type in the world is <strong>O positive</strong> while the rarest is <strong>AB negative</strong>.</p>
<p>From the U.S population it was determined that the percentages of blood types were as follows.</p>
<p>O positive &#8211; 38.4%<br />
O negative &#8211; 7.7%</p>
<p>A positive &#8211; 32.3%<br />
A negative &#8211; 6.5%</p>
<p>B positive &#8211; 9.4%<br />
B negative &#8211; 1.7%</p>
<p>AB positive &#8211; 3.2%<br />
AB negative &#8211; 0.7%</p>
<p>So what blood type do you have? Are you reasonably <strong>rare like me (AB+)</strong> or do you have a more <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">common</span> popular blood type?   <img src='http://www.darrellbaudoin.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s true, but I&#8217;ve read online that tests from the Sudarium (or more correctly the face-cloth of Christ), mentioned in John 20:5-8 and the Shroud of Turin contains the AB blood type. If that&#8217;s the case, I&#8217;m in Great company!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><strong> </strong>Many people mistakenly believe that the immaculate conception refers to  the conception of Jesus Christ. Jesus’ conception was most assuredly  immaculate…but the immaculate conception does not refer to Jesus at all.  The immaculate conception is a doctrine of the Romans Catholic Church  in regards to Mary, Jesus’ mother. An official statement of the doctrine  reads, “…the blessed Virgin Mary to have been, from the first instant  of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of Almighty God, in  view of the merits of Christ Jesus the Savior of Mankind, preserved  free from all stain of original sin.” Essentially the immaculate  conception is the belief that Mary was protected from original sin, that  Mary did not have a sin nature, and was, in fact, sinless.</p>
<p> <script type="text/javascript"><!--

//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>The problem with the doctrine of the immaculate conception is that it is  not taught in the Bible. The Bible nowhere describes Mary as anything  but an ordinary human female whom God chose to be the mother of the Lord  Jesus Christ. Mary was undoubtedly a godly woman (<a href="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Luke%201.28" target="_blank">Luke 1:28</a>).  Mary was surely a wonderful wife and mother. Jesus definitely loved and  cherished His mother (<a href="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/John%2019.27" target="_blank">John 19:27</a>).  The Bible gives us no reason to believe that Mary was sinless. In fact,  the Bible gives us every reason to believe that Jesus Christ is the only  Person who was not “infected” by sin and never committed a sin (<a href="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Ecclesiastes%207.20" target="_blank">Ecclesiastes  7:20</a>; <a href="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Romans%203.23" target="_blank">Romans 3:23</a>;  <a href="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/2%20Corinthians%205.21" target="_blank">2  Corinthians 5:21</a>; <a href="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/1%20Peter%202.22" target="_blank">1 Peter 2:22</a>;  <a href="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/1%20John%203.5" target="_blank">1 John 3:5</a>).</p>
<p>The doctrine of the immaculate conception originated out of confusion  over how Jesus Christ could be born sinless if He was conceived inside  of a sinful human female. The thought was that Jesus would have  inherited a sinful nature from Mary had she been a sinner. In contrast  to the immaculate conception, the Biblical solution to this problem is  understanding that Jesus Himself was miraculously protected from being  polluted by sin while He was inside Mary&#8217;s womb. If God was capable of  protecting Mary from sin, would He not be able to protect Jesus from  sin? Therefore, Mary being sinless is neither necessary or Biblical.</p>
<p>The Roman Catholic Church argues that the immaculate conception is  necessary because without it, Jesus would have been the object of His  own grace. The thought goes like this – for Jesus to have been  miraculously preserved from sin, which itself would be an act of grace,  that would mean God essentially “graced Himself.” The word grace means  “unmerited favor.” Grace is giving someone something he or she does not  deserve. God performing a miracle in preserving Jesus from sin is not  “grace.” In no sense could Jesus possibly be infected with sin. He was  perfect and sinless humanity joined with sinless divinity. God cannot be  infected or affected by sin, as He is perfectly holy. This same truth  applies to Jesus. It did not take “grace” to protect Jesus from sin.  Being God incarnate, Jesus was in His essence “immune” from sin.</p>
<p>So, the doctrine of the immaculate conception is neither Biblical or  necessary. Jesus was miraculously conceived inside Mary, who was a  virgin at the time. That is the Biblical concept of the virgin birth.  The Bible does not even hint that there was anything significant about  Mary’s conception. If we examine this concept logically, Mary’s mother  would have to be immaculately conceived as well. How could Mary be  conceived without sin if her mother was sinful? The same would have to  be said of Mary’s grandmother, great-grandmother, and so on. So, in  conclusion, the immaculate conception is not a Biblical teaching. The  Bible teaches the miraculous virgin conception of Jesus Christ, not the  immaculate conception of Mary.</p>
