The Final Judgement Will Not Be Overturned


You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say may be used against you in a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you
If you decide to answer questions now, you will still have the right to stop answering at any time until you talk to an attorney.
Do you know and understand your rights as I have explained them to you?

  I’m sure you heard this all before, hopefully not directly. It has been a staple of every cop shop and movie for the last thirty-five years.  It’s known as the Miranda warning after the court case that established that suspect under arrest must be informed of their right.


  The case involved Ernesto Miranda who confessed to kidnapping, rape, and armed robbery. His attorney took the case to the Supreme Court and was able to have the case overturned since he was not informed of his right to remain silent or to an attorney. He didn’t escape justice however. The confession was disallowed but the State of Arizona had enough other evidence to convict him. He went to prison and was paroled in 1972.

  But life can be ironic. On the 31st of January, 1976, Miranda was involved in a violent argument during a card game, and was stabbed to death. His assailant, a Mexican national, was because of the ruling was fully informed of his right to remain silent. So he chose to exercise his right.  Without enough evidence to hold the suspect, he was released and fled to Mexico where he disappeared.

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
2nd Corinthians 5:10

  Justice in this world is never a sure thing. The guilty go free, the innocent get punished. We attempt fairness and equity, but our human limits seeming prohibit that. But God isn’t limited. He sees all and knows all. On the Day of Judgment all his ruling will be upheld, since they will be right. No one will escape custody; no one will be unfairly punished, no one will get off of a technicality. It’s a scary prospect for us since we all stand guilty.

  We however will not be left without the opportunity to have one to represent us. He have advocate

 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous;
1 John 2:1
This attorney is provided but you do have to listen to him. He has a way for you to be pardon. You won’t pay but you must obey.

You can’t however remain silent, you must confess him.
You can have an advocate if you put your belief in him. He is provided as a free gift.
You must be willing to change; there is no going back it the crime that got you here in the first place. The old man has to die and get buried, for the new man to go free.

I Know All Those Words, But That Sentence Makes No Sense To Me

  Let’s say you travel back in time six hundred years or so.  Luckily, you happen across a fellow that speaks English.  Upon hearing your tale, he describes you as nice, smart, and handsome.  Wouldn’t you feel good?   You shouldn’t.  As Sol Steinmetz in his book, Semantics Antics , explains; Nice originally meant someone who was foolish, ignorant, senseless, or absurd (middle English 1300). Smart for the first 300 years of its use meant causing pain, sharp, cutting, or severe, a sense that survives in the idiom "smart as a whip.” Handsome wasn’t complimentary. When coined around 1425, it just meant easily handled; it didn’t have its current positive connotation until 1590.   You might think he said you were a kind, intelligent, good looking bloke, when in reality he said you were a foolish pain easily dealt with.   Words have an annoying habit of changing meaning over time in the same language and it becomes even more compli...

Master Your Self

  In a contest for the toughest president of the United States, it would be hard to go against Theodore Roosevelt.  He was known for his “manly” pursuits hunting big game, climbing the Matterhorn, participating in boxing match while president. (These weren’t play fights, he lost the vision on one eye because of them!)  Once before he was about to give a speech an assassin shot him in the chest.  Roosevelt refused to go to a hospital and insisted on giving his speech, still wearing his blood-soaked shirt!   Teddy might have become tough but he wasn’t born that way.  He was a sickly child that suffered from severe asthma that almost proved fatal.  As was a young boy, doctors discovered that he had a weak heart, and advised him to get a desk job and not strain himself.  He was homeschooled because of his many illnesses and spent most of his time indoors.   But then as a teen his father, whom Teddy Roosevelt revered, told his son, “ ...

Why Does A Lion Tamer Use a Chair?

  Ok, I know you have seen the image. A lion tamer enters in the cage of the beast and forces it to obey his commands using a whip, a gun and a chair. Now you can see how the whip and gun could come in handy but you might be wondering why a chair would intimidate an animal as powerful as a lion? Clyde Beatty taming a lion with a chair   It's not that the lion is afraid of the chair -- it's that the lion is confused by the chair. Cats are single-minded, and the points of the chair's four legs bobbing around confuse the lion enough that it loses its train of thought. Casually put, the chair distracts the lion from wanting to claw the lion tamer's face off. The powerful creature could destroy the chair in moment’s notice but instead it is distracted into submission.  It’s not too much different than how Satan controls us today. By the power of God we could overcome anything that he would use to subdue us. We can overcome the evil one (1 st John 2:13-14). ...
