Hello World:
Going right into the details from last time about neighbors. When God commands or says to love thy neighbor, He does not mean that one neighbor can act a fool and mistreat the other neighbor, and the other neighbor is not supposed to be rightfully angry or upset and do something about the problem neighbor.
Also, God wants each neighbor to love each other in terms of the well-being of the other, or as to not contribute or instigate harm and chaos to the other neighbor. In other words, God does not intend on ONLY ONE of the neighbors doing all the loving and giving respect, while at the same time taking ANY and ALL kinds of mess from the other neighbor.
When a neighbor plays consistently LOUD music, especially LOUD speaker, boom-box type music, that invades the homes or apartments of their neighbors, that is a major sin. LOUD music consistently all day and night is bad.
Neighbors should NOT play their music so LOUD, that the other neighbors can not hear their own televisions, radios, talk on the phone, read, study, pray or sleep in peace in their own living quarters; because some foolish people are playing music too loud.
Music should NEVER be blasting and vibrating through the walls and floors of your neighbors at ANY TIME, and especially late night, or early morning during sleep hours. This also goes for people with loud speakers in their cars, and who have friends with loud speakers in their cars.
Another thing, to owners, landlords and police, when tenants complain about another neighbors LOUD music or OTHER noises and foul smells, and you all do nothing to help that tenant or completely STOP the other person causing the problems; you the owner, landlord and police are also guilty and are heading for hell. That also goes for the other neighbors if they are asked, on behalf of a neighbor, whom they have no conflict with, questions or approached for help as a righteous witness, and they refuse to help.
Other noises that should NOT be tolerated and are a sin to other neighbors are the following: slamming doors and cabinets of any kind inside and outside; loud talking, arguing and yelling, playing video games too loud with shootings or lazers and explosions from the game; unnecessarily shooting a gun or rifle, excessive firecrackers, unnecessarily and stupidly revving a car's engine too loudly, stomping or walking heavy on the floors like a horse or bear, usually with hard shoes on. Also, allowing your kids to run hard around the house or apartment, fighting and smashing each other into the walls and floor, tearing up the place. All those are various noise sins against your neighbors.
Now, I am not saying you can not enjoy music, television video games, or that your kids can not play or have fun. However, those things should only be enjoyed at a certain level when you have people living right next to you or wall to wall in a complex.
You do not have to always be silent like a cat either. I also want to discuss busy-body or nosey neighbors who quietly listen in to the privacy of their neighbors. People are expected to make SOME sounds or a little noise here and there, that is WITHIN REASON. It should NOT be disturbing and invading to the peace of your neighbor.
Explain or talk to your kids that they can not make a lot of noise around the neighbors and why. If your kids do not listen to you and are still noisy and destructive, slap them down, and tell them to sit down and shut up. If your adult guest are too loud and will not obey your rules, kick them out.
There is such a thing as noise pollution. Noise polution is unnecessarily loud, excessively disturbing, destructive and DISTRACTING sounds that are made. You are responsible in this area, to God and to your neighbor, to keep noise pollution down.
Have some rules of etiquette in place in your home. If you own your own home, and have some good acreage or space between your neighbor, then you have more liberty to do more. However, the less your next door neighbor hears you the better off you are. I did not realize I would have one whole post on just talking about noise alone. There are other things, I need to go into, next, concerning treatment of neighbors.

People Not Loving Their Neighbor(s) Like God Commanded-B
Hello World:
This is the B part of talking about neighbors. In referencing that last post on this subject, Jesus said to believe and know that the Lord, God, is one Lord and to love Him with all you have, which is first. Then Jesus mentions that we each should love thy neighbor as thyself, which is second, and I am paraphrasing from last time. Jesus said those two things are the greatest of all the commandments.
Now, I have been led by God to talk about those commandments here, but primarily focusing on the one about the neighbor, or he or she or them who live next to you. Many people do not abide by those commandments given by God. Those commandments are not a game. God means SERIOUS business when it comes to those commandments.
Many people live a life that serves only themselves, and they do not care how, the way they live, negatively affect those living around them. They also do not give a care what God thinks or what God said. This is again, like I mentioned before, they do not fear God, the Lord, and they are very disrespectful to their neighbors. Henceforth, a lot of people are in trouble and have been in trouble wih God because of that among other things.
I have not always lived in the same place all my life. I have moved to a few different places, speaking in a general sense. It is my experience for I would have to say for over a substantial number of years, I have had very bad neighbors. In fact, I have learned that some of the worst people in your life are or can be your neighbors.
If I had to do a list of some of the worst people to have in your life, it would be something to the following:
1) Neighbors living next to you,
2) Managers and Co-Workers you work with,
3) Family members or relatives not necessarily living with you,
4) People on the street in general either driving or on foot, in the stores, malls, parks, etc.
There can be more groups added to that list. Basically, you are going to have problems any time you are around people in general. People, especially in today's world are very inconsiderate towards others, and they seem to be getting worse and not better. However, to me, the person living next door, or up above you or living below you or across the street from you, are at the top of the list.
Even during my school years, I did not have much problems, and when I was in church I never had any problems. Although in church there are sincere God fearing and loving people, but the church also has its' pretenders. So, for some, that worst people list might be a little different. However, from my experience, my neighbors have caused the most serious problems more than any other group of people.
I want to start mentioning the sins or crimes that neighbors commit against another. There are several key things that makes the difference between a good or loving neighbor and an evil stupid neighbor.
First things, a neighbor should not make loud noises of ANY kind, at ANY time, that would disturb the peace of the other neighbor. That does not matter if your neighbor is supposedly asleep or awake, but ANY time. I will explain that further. Also, a neighbor should NOT give off unnatural foul smelling odors OR natural foul smelling odors that CONSISTENTLY disturb the peace and breathing space of the other neighbor.
So, for starters, as neighbor to neighbor each has to manage their sounds and smells in and around their residence. I am setting up to go into the meaty part of the details concerning neighbors when I return.

People Not Loving Their Neighbor(s) Like God Commanded-A
Hello World:
This is a subject I kind of been wanting to get to for a long time. Every time I talked about other subjects for over a year and a half, this one about neighbors has always been in the back of my mind so to speak. This subject along with another one yet for me to disclose. So, now it is neighbor time, and this is going to be good. I am going to move along here as always, as the Lord is leading me.
Here, when I talk about neighbor or neighbors, I am going to primarily be, specifically, talking about people living right next door to you, above you, under you, across the street, or within very close proximity of your residence.
There are many, many people who have lived in the world who are being forever tortured and burning in HELL for the way they MISTREATED their neighbor. There are many more people who will suffer the same fate when they die, because of how they mistreated a neighbor, or are currently mistreating a neighbor. I will go into the details in a moment, First though;
Scripture Reference Exodus Chapter 20: Verse 16; "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor."
Verse 17; "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's."
Scripture Reference St. Mark Chapter 12: Verse 29; "And Jesus answered him, the first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:"
Verse 30; "And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment."
Verse 31; "And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these."
In the scriptures above God wants me to explain the deeper meaning of those scriptures. In Exodus 20, God wants me to point out that he or she who loves his neighbor will not bear false witness against or covet ANYTHING that is his neighbor's. At the beginning of what Jesus was saying, even though He says the commandment says Hear O Israel, it is not only referring to Israel, but to EVERYBODY.
Those above commandments are VERY important or the MOST IMPORTANT and MOST SERIOUS, to everything. Also, Jesus is saying that the two commandments he mentions encompasses or covers all the other commandments.
At the beginning of this post, when I said that many people have went to hell and are going to hell, that is because people are not loving their neighbor like God commanded.
When Jesus says to love thy neighbor as thyself, that love requires certain aspects and actions. A couple of things you need to have to love your neighbor is a fear of God, and also a respectful attitude to your neighbor. If you do not fear God and respect your neighbor in key areas you have committed crimes, and sinned mightily against God and the person who is your neighbor.
Many people have NOT taken the Word of God serious, as in the case with neighbors. In the next post, I will begin to talk about detailed crimes and sins people commit against their neighbors.

Water Baptism Does Not Save Install.7
Hello World:
Again, the baptism into Jesus Christ, or the body of Christ or the family of God is a spiritual baptism and NOT by water. As, I closed the last post, I was talking about believing on Jesus Christ and confessing to Jesus Christ to be spiritually baptized.
Scripture Reference Romans Chapter 10: Verses 9-10; "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."
"For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
The Aposte Paul wrote that, and he got it exactly right. When a person confesses their sins, they need to be instructed by someone on how to pray their confession. That does not mean they are confessing to the person or minister or preacher instructing them.
The confession is not to a man, like in the Catholic church; nor is it a detailed confession of all a person's embarrassing laundry or dirty laundry. The sinner's prayer is NOT a humiliation session to men. You acknowledge and humble yourself to God.
That can be done in a church and usually is and I encourage that; and it is good to run to meet God in a Christian church and be surrounded by like-minded believers for support. However, the sinner's prayer does not necessarily have to be prayed in Church, but can be prayed anywhere.
The person is just being led by someone who knows God, who can pray with them. However, they are praying a prayer of confession or a sinner's prayer or a prayer that an acknowledged sinner would say to God, to respectfully get right with God. So, that is why it is called a sinner's prayer.
So, for those who say that the sinner's prayer is not in the Bible or is not scriptural, according to Romans 10: 9-10 that I listed above, it is scriptural to pray the sinner's prayer. The Bible talks about praying, and the sinner's prayer is a PROPER way to pray to God, in conjunction with believing in the heart who Jesus is, to become born-again.
With the EXCEPTION of a medical or health condition, which God surely understands, if you have a mouth and can talk to everyone else and talk on the cell phone, then if you are serious, you can open up your mouth and talk to Jesus, confessing with the sinner's prayer.
Another thing, the sinner's prayer can have variations. In other words, the prayer does not have to be exactly like the one I keep posted. I do ask those who come to this blogsite, who want to know Jesus as Savior and Lord, and get right with God, to pray that prayer exactly as I posted it.
I just tried to cover as much of what Jesus Christ has done concerning the salvation process as I could. However, other believers use similar versions so that is okay. Each sinner's prayer should be similar with core words acknowledging a person's sinful state and Jesus' state as the person's Savior and Deliverer out of that sinful state.
Depending on the situation, you can simply call out to Jesus for help. Call out to Jesus in some way. However, I do want to warn people about quick, cheap prayers. Emergencies and bad things happen all of a sudden, and sometimes we need to pray quickly to God, and we need God to help us VERY QUICKLY; but do NOT make it a habit of being quick with God all the time.
Make sure the prayer is sincere and sensible. Remember God is more important than anything else, and you do not want to play games with God or play games with your soul. If you do not confess your sins to Jesus, and do not talk to God, you have no relationship with God.
St. John 3:16, which I mentioned several times before in this blog, says that God sent His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. That scripture does NOT say that God sent water baptism, and whosoever is water baptized will have everlasting life.
No one can inherit everlasting life in the kingdom of God by substituting being born-again through accepting Jesus as Savior and Lord, with water baptism, being a friend of Israel, being a patriot, trying to save themselves or ANY other competing interest to Jesus Christ. JESUS CHRIST IS THE LIVING WATER, and the RIGHT and ONLY way that EVERY person needs to be saved.
