FROM THE WORST TO THE BEST EVENT IN HISTORY.
(C) John Murphy April 3 2026.
Today is Good Friday of wich many Christians will remember the worst part of Jesus life. His death on a cross via crucifixion - a criminals death for the lowest of the low. This is is possibly the worst event in Jesus life & possibly history. On Sunday we remember & celebrate the best event in history. The resurrection of Jesus. (Story found in Matthew 26-28, Mark 14-16, Luke 22-24, John 13-21).
The life & ministry inc death & reseruction of Jesus to me are a daily celebration & not a once a year event.
As Christians celebrate this event we can also remember that sometimes the worst & most painful event we experience in our lives might just be the greatest thing to happen to us & bring about the christ-like character & person we are called to be.
Remember that God's #1 priority is to conform us into the image & nature of Christ. We to will experience painful times & these times might just be the best event in our lives.
Please note that 2 biggest Christians events each year & often busiest church times (Christmas & Easter) are of pagan origin & dressed up as "Christian". I DONT celebrate either of these events BUT remember daily the birth, life & ministry + death & reseruction of Jesus.
I have heard the claim that while Jesus was physically dead he went to hell & preached to those there. Im unable to confirm IF this is true.
I don't know 100% for sure IF Jesus did or not all I know that Jesus death on the cross (ALL our sins put him there), his resurrection is what SAVES me from hell (i deserve hell no matter how "good" i am) & its through him I can have a relationship with God & my desire is to do his will for my life.

CHRISTANS DIVORCE & REMARRIAGE
(C) John Murphy March 12th 2026.
No matter how much prayer & efforts one may put into the marriage it can still fall apart & end in divorce.
Seeking support from church & you will likely hear "God hates divorce" malachi 2v16 (rsv) & you must stay married unless the spouse dies.
This might end up destroying your relationship with God.
God dosent want us unequally yoked (2 Corinthians 6v14-18).
The divorce rate between Christians & non christans is the same & reasons for divorce are the same (Google AI). Apart from regular church attendees (likely false teachings) there isn't much difference between the 2 groups.

WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHURCH MEMBERSHIP & DISCIPLESHIP???
(C) John Murphy March 8th 2026
Luke 14 v25-33
A church member is a person that is usually baptized (often within the denomination or church they attend) & public confession of faith in Jesus & believe what the church teaches.
The cost:
Tithes & offerings - regular is preffered.
Prayer
Support for the leaders & descions made.
Volunteer for church ministry (eg Sunday school or community outreach programs like food banks or community meals)
Bible study &/or prayer groups at home/church.
Typically this is low cost & is what I believe 99% christans believe & do.
DISCIPLESHIP IS A VERY DIFFERENT COST:
Its your life as God sees fit & best for you.
Its choosing to do what God says when he says.
Its getting rid of sin in your life as God reveals.
Prayer & bible study - this must be daily.
Helping others know the Jesus of Bible. EG John 7v17 challenge.
Surrendered life to Christ.
Putting the teachings of Christ into action DAILY.
Following your personal divine calling from God.
Most churches make church members BUT TRUE CHRISTIANS make disciples of Christ.
Church membership is NOT ESSENTIAL to salvation BUT a Surrendered life AND OBEING Christ is ESSENTIAL to salvation! (This is the SECRET & only way to him & most churches will never teach this).

CAN I BE CHRISTAN WITHOUT CHURCH?
(C) John Murphy Feb 27 2026.
The Church as an institution is in crisis because they are losing members faster than they gain new people & what was once sacred is now just another view.
It was thought the local church would always survive even if a complete new rebuild is needed. Today they are closing & the former sanctuary is now something secular or replaced entirely such as new homes.
Church leaders would have you believe that Hebrews 10v25 (aka church) is critical to salvation & being christan means tithing (10% income to church). This is a FALSE TEACHING and is designed to keep you in church & help pay the pastors income.
I personally dont regularly attend a local church BUT I have church everyday at home with just me & The Lord.
IF I can become more like Christ without Church you can as well.
Finally I asked Google AI (Gemini) about this & got some interesting responses including how to start a house church & where each generation is going.

THE UNFORGIVABLE SIN & EPILEPSY IN CHURCH
(C) John Murphy Dec 31st 2026.
Message:
It angers me as an epileptic & Christian that MANY Christians believe the lie taught in churches that "All EPILEPSY & seziours are demonic & therefore of the devil. IF the epileptic or person having seziours believes Jesus that he heals them of this disability they are true Christians. IF not then clearly they are of the devil.
YES Jesus did heal people with EPILEPSY (see Matt 4v24, Mark 9v17-27, Matt 17v14-18 & Luke 9v37-43.) BUT Paul (author of most new testament) in 2 Corinthians 12v9 had a "thorn in his side" many Bible commentaries inc NIV Life Application study bible (my bible) mentions Paul might have had epilepsy along with going blind (blind message to come, also see Gal 4v13-14). Its also worth mentioning that Old Testament Prophet Ezekiel might have been the first person to have recorded epilepsy (he lived about 2600 years ago or about the year 586bc - New Sciencetist 2001)
Jesus also gave a WARNING about the UNFORGIVABLE SIN (Blasphemy of the holy spirit aka attributing the work of the holy spirit to demons & Satan - Matt 12v31-32, Mark 3v28-29, Luke 12v10.)
THE UNFORGIVABLE SIN & EPILEPSY:
IF you continue to beleive that ALL EPILEPSY & SEZIOURS are purely demonic & of the Devil (teaching this means your at greater judgment Jam 3v1) you MAY NOW be guilty of committing the unforgivable sin because IF its true (all epilepsy is demonic) you must also say that Paul & Ezekiel are of the devil.
You should also remove the following books from your bible:
Ezekiel
Acts from about chapter 9 & the rest from 12v25-end)
Roman's
1, 2 Corinthians
Galations
Ephesians
Phillipines
Collossians
1, 2 Thessalonians
1,2 Timothy
Titus
Philemon
Hebrews (unknown Paul?)
You also could be cursed (Rev 22v18-19)
BE WARE - YOU KNOW THE TRUTH, EPILEPSY ISN'T DEMONIC & IF YOU BELIEVE IT IS - DISREGARD 50% of New Testament & Ezekiel & be cursed + guilty of the unforgivable sin.
Be wise.
God bless

AN OPEN PLEA:
Dear friends
It burdens me to know that JESUS will say to MANY "Flea from me - i never you knew you"
And your response will be "Lord I went to church, I paryed for others, I saw miracles & cast out demons." JESUS will still cast you out.
DO YOU BELIEVE A DIFFERENT & FALSE JESUS?
Do you believe:
Seventh Day Adventist Jesus?
Mormon Jesus?
Jehovah Witness Jesus?
Prosperity and/or good health Jesus?
The end times Jesus & his return is soon???
IF you want to continue to beleive this delusion - God will let you beleive these delusions.
Be prepared you BELIEVE in a FALSE JESUS.
Im afraid for you that your believing a LIE from the Deveil. The same lies that say:
Its ok because everyone else is doing it & therefore i can continue in sin.
God has changed with the times (He's the same yesterday, today & forever)
Donald Trump is God's man to make America great again.
Destiny Church's Brian Tamaki is God's right hand man for NZ.
God is going to bless you with great wealth & excellent health.
These are the DEVIL'S LIES & no wonder for he himself disguises himself as an angel of light.
WHAT HAPPENS IF:
You are sorted & simply eat, live & be merry until death & God calls you a fool for your life will be demanded of you TODAY.
I DO NOT KNOW the day/date/time/hour BUT I KNOW many Christians's will find out they are going to hell & beleived in vain.
There MAY COME a time where TRUE Christians & Godly ministries shut the door & you are left knocking on the door & can't get your Godly food anymore.
PLEASE IF THIS IS YOU:
1. Go somewhere private & cry out to God for his truth to be revealed to you.
2. Surrender your life & repent of your sins.
3. Forgive YOURSELF & OTHERS - this may take time, but its a blessing of God in disguise.
4. Read your Bible & put the teachings of Christ into action - you will see if these teachings are from God or Man.
5. IF you want prayer reach out.
I DONT WANT YOU TO HEAR
"Flea from me - i never knew you"
And the door to eternal life is shut.
