s much to be learned from a guy like me. If you have yahoo messenger, my name is sieboldcurt. My name is Curt Siebold. Apart from being a pizza delivery guy for Pizza Pit I am going to the UW of Manitowoc for probably one more semester. I was going to school to become a nutritionist but I'm thinking something else now. I'm also a full time Christian Evangelist which I'm sure is pretty evident by this page. The church I go to is the Calvary Chapel on South 10th Street in Manitowoc, WI.
I use myspace as a means of getting the truth out there, not pushing "religion" down peoples throats as some accuse. We only have a certain amount of time in this life and we ought to know if there really is a God or we are some big abomidable accident beyond mistake therefore rendering everything as meaningless. Eternity is a long time to be wrong. I am fully convinced that the God of the Bible is real. I am also fully convinced beyond a shadow of a doupt that He will judge the world in righteousness, that whoever is guilty will end up in hell, and that makes everyone. Please read this article I wrote that will help explain why you need to be saved!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"If the dead are not raised, 'let us eat and drink for tomorrow we die.'" ~1 Corinthians 15:32b
If there is no God and no such thing as right and wrong and we are just some big abominable accident beyond mistake or comprehension that would have to defy all laws of logic, then we might as well do whatever feels good before we enter into our big black inevitable nothingness for all eternity. It is a stupid position to hold, one of that there is no God. One reason why this view is prevalent is because the world hates being told that its ways are evil (John 3:18-21) so they quickly insert that there isn't a God so they can get off on life day in and day out, all the while they slowly building up for themselves the destruction that awaits them. They have no love for the Father because they love the world and the pleasures of sin (2 John 2:15-17). So they don't mind if they break every one of God's commands (Proverbs 19:18~a corrupt witness mocks at justice, and the mouth of the wicked gulps down evil). They have as much desire for the word righteousness as a 4 year old has for the word bath. To listen to their conscience is to listen to that party pooper who always gets in the way of things we know what ought not to be done. Conscience comes from two Greek words meaning "with knowledge" and God has given it to every man (Romans 2:12-16) and therefore everyone is without excuse (Romans 1:18, 19, 20). They care not that they do what they know should not be done. The law is written in the hearts of man, i.e. the Holy Law of God. When they sin they do it with full knowledge that it's wrong unless they are so hardened hearted and so eagerly lived out "pleasurable", sinful desires for so long, they may not feel convicted anymore.
So my point here is that if there is no God, do whatever pleases you for we all die one day and come to nothing. Live in hypocrisy in the way where you say there is a point to life when in all logical sense there is none and your storing up for yourselves nothing. Life is meaningless by default if there is no God. And to say "life is whatever you want it to be" is just a bunch of verbal diarrhea to my ears. It seems like the purpose of man is to get good grades in school so they can get into the best college, get the best job, get the best pay, earn the best retirement and buy the best gravestone! That is all of it.
BUT, if there is a God, He will judge us by His law. If we broke it, we pay the fine either by eternal hell, or another way. Some believe you can get escorted out of a court room and drop the case if you do more good works than bad. 51% does not get you through college, I know that from experience! You cannot bribe the judge either; it is a direct insult to the judge and much more the God of the universe. Think of civil law. If you broke the law and are in court, can you tell the judge, "Hey, I've done many good things, look at my self-righteousness and declare me perfect and let me go!" That won't work, and works, don't work. Your good works is totally irrelevant to the case. In fact, God considers your good works as dirty rags to Him. It doesn’t matter how many charities you give to, how nice you are, or how many lives you save even if you give up your own life for another.
So live it up, live the "high life" and assume there is no God. Do whatever you can to cool your flesh, to not listen to your conviction and cover it up with even more sin. The Bible says all men drank in iniquity like water, in huge gulps, so we can satisfy the flesh. But once you die there is no going back. When you leave life, you leave in whatever state you are in forever, Righteous, or unrighteous and no in between. The righteous go to heaven, but the unrighteous go to the jailhouse which is hell. So how can you pay your fine and be set free? First let’s see if you broke the law, the Ten Commandments. Have you ever:
~1. Put God first? Is He first in all your affections?
~2. Create a God in your own image? Could be known as “my personal god or belief.†A picking and choosing what to believe based on what is suitable to your self image or desires, a God so suit yourself.
~3. Use His name in place of a cuss word. Includes saying your a Christian when your not.
~4. Kept the Sabbath holy?
~5. honored your parents wholeheartedly and perfectly?
~6. Murdered? Includes hatred. (God looks at intent. Ironically, so does civil law. If you don’t intend to kill someone but accidentally ran someone over, you’re safe, but, if the intention was there, you’re guilty. If you intend to murder someone, justice will be done in court. God looks at the inward parts of your heart. Hatred is what is needed for murder to take place. It is the prerequisite to intentionally harm someone.)
~7. committed adultery? Includes thinking about or looking with lustful desires; ex. pornography.
~8. Stole? Value or size doesn’t matter.
~9. Lied? White lies or half truths apply
~10. Coveted? Includes being jealous of other people’s things.
If you broke one of these laws your guilty of breaking all of it (James 2:10). Yes, God demands perfection and just like in a civil case, if you break a law, even one, you must pay a fine, no exceptions. It doesn’t matter if a murderer is caught 30 years later and he tells everyone he does good now, justice must still be fulfilled. No one is righteous enough to have kept God's law perfectly (Proverbs 20:9, Romans 3:10+). We all broke it and are all sinners. In fact by our very nature we are all slaves to sin. Don’t believe me? Well, now that you know what sin is, the breaking of God’s law, just try not to look upon another person with lust. Try not to get angry or be 100% honest or do away with your idols, which is anything that comes before God, and I mean anything. It could be a hobby or toy or book or obsessing over how you look, etc. It’s only when you try to escape this ‘prison’ we realize we are trapped. We are slowly wasting away until we reach the electric chair and die eternally. The only way to be set free and escape the fires of hell is to have Jesus be the perfect sacrifice for your sins. God loved you so much that He chose you to be part of His family, He chose you to be on the team as number one draft pick! He gave His one and only son to die on the cross a horrible sinners death even though He was the only blameless one that could ever exist and has ever existed. Can you sacrifice your own child to get spit on, beaten, cursed, and to bear the scars eternally, willfully? God did! That is proof of His love for you. He does not want anyone to go to hell but He must carry out justice one day, He has provided this chance right now to turn from sin and accept this gift of everlasting life. Jesus lived the perfect life that no one could live and defeated the power of death on the cross. He is the only ticket to heaven, not good works or by some other lofty means. The only way is to put your faith in Jesus the way you put your faith in a parachute to save you, and from that moment on you will be a new person with new desires and you will pass from death to life. (Understand that there is a huge difference in believing a parachute and putting it on.) Do this today for tomorrow may not come; 10 out of 10 die and over 140,000 die each day. You could be next, you’re not guaranteed your next breathe. Ask Jesus into your life to save you on that day. Then read your bible and obey it. God will never let you down!
"When a wicked man dies, his hope perishes;
all he expected from his power comes to nothing." ~Proverbs 11:7

------------"We Christians too often substitute prayer for playing the game. Prayer is good; but when used as a substitute for obedience, it is nothing but a blatant hypocrisy, a despicable Pharasaism...To you knees, man! And to you Bible! Decide at once! Don't hedge! Time flies! Cease your insults to God. Stop consulting flesh and blood. Stop your lame, lying, and cowardly excuses. Enlist!"
