Napoleon Bonaparte vs. Christ

Only through Jesus Christ ruling in the heart can there be change. One woukd only hope that Napoleon did find redemption and solace in Jesus in those final years in Elbe.

I don't know. I would only hope upon the basis of this quote he did. Will Google and find out.

I am a little hazy as to which island Napoleon was finally imprisoned on. I know be was imprisoned on Elbe and St. Hellana. St. hellana may have been his final imprisonment. If so then there are some interesting things he writes reflecting upon the reality of Jesus Christ. Having read the article it made me wonder if he might have embraced Jesus in his heart

I am sorry I do not know how to copy the article over to SI. But I found the article searching under, 'Did Napoleon Follow Jesus Christ'.

One can hope during those last few years that maybe he did find ultimate rest in Jesus. Only eternity will tell.

Not to mention that it's just a Godless socialist and communist group of people (at least the leaders and many of the people), and we know both those forms of government clearly violate Biblical principles.

was God the Holy Spirit in control of your heart and mind, when your fingers typed the above statement?

"loaded"?.....no it was a simple question. dont assume anything, including any desire of mine to have my ears tickled. if you try and tickle them, you might lose your hand, Kind of like in "The Book of Eli"...the movie.

and this is just me, but i'm very hesistant to start misappropriating Scripture to fit in, to my judgements.

the first Scripture you reference, is Jesus laying it down to the pharisees and religionists in that time, fleshlings that RELISH the opportunity to cast scorn on WHOEVER doesnt meet the external requirements of there cozy little religious GAME. and it was a face to face encounter.

the second verse was another face to face encounter, where Paul read the riot act to a child of darkness who was trying to dissaude a man from following Jesus...and how that all ties up with the post you wrote prior, about the "godless communists and socialists" , i do not know.

But what i do know is if you want to start hurling judgement around, its going to start with you, fore you support communism, you line the pockets of godless communists with money....and you might exclaim, "WHAT?!?"

in your house are innumerable household goods and clothes that all say one thing on the the tag or sticker, "Made In China", lets be precise, "The PEOPLES Reuplic of China", so in essence, YOU support this godless communist nation with your money, which makes you a communist sympathizer.

hows that feel? of course, its not true, because you're just buying the implements you need to maintain a household, and since all these titles, communist, socialist, capitalist are just the devils way to keep people divided and fighting, scorching folks on the internet, you never met, or were in relation with, is just playing RIGHT INTO THE devils hands, so to attribute your prior post as "Spirit Led", might not be accurate.

i'm hoping you'll reflect on this, coz Hope goes right along with Faith and Charity and Love....not scorn. Jesus' scorn was ALWAYS reserved for the "religious" pharisees and other hate filled hypocrites during His Earthly Ministry, never the heavily laden poor in spirit so deseperate for a Savior. He who has ears to hear....

bud, we're done here. you had the last word.

i AM being loving by saying, "bud we're done here", by showing mercy. Done are the days for me on this forum, where i waste time by engaging in endless cyber palaber, with those cemented in their judgements, by the flesh, in the flesh.

frightened and scared people, in need of a Savior dismissed as "godless socialists and communists" indicates to me, a person not facile in the Spirit, unable or unwilling to see the WHOLE of the Great Commission, and i will not even attempt to reason with you, when reasoning seems impossible.....so, bud we are NOW done here.

take care in the future choice of your wording.

you been on my heart, soul, spirit and prayers all evening and this morning. brother, my name is neil, and i do beg your forgiveness, in what might seem harsh callous and unloving in Messiah Jesus.

i respond as such, because something in my spirit, as led by the Holy Spirit, sees something in these folks that "occupy", and i totally resist any sort of labeling, ie these "ism's" or "ists". what i'm seeing are helpless and harrassed "sheep" in need of a Sheperd.

these people are just terrified and angry, feeling that various "systems of the world" have let them down, and these systems HAVE let them down, because anything of man WILL let one down, its just another idol, and God is most severe regarding man worshipping anything other than Him.

oh yes brother, we are most definitely told to led quiet lives, patient in the Hope of our Salvation. These protests dont follow in this mold, but my spirit leads me to believe when folks are so pressed, so frightened, that IS THE MOMENT, as God gives, some can be saved, by turning from this fear, into the Knowledge and Apprehension of a Savior, Jesus. i only WISH i could be among them to be a son of the Light, witnessing what God has done for me.

no excuses, but i'm in a desolate (rural) land, far from these cauldrons of confusion, led up here BY the Holy Spirit, and must attend to the business of getting this land, ready for my family...besides God has NOT given me the Call to go among them. i yearn, with the Passion of Christ for their souls, that was why i responded as i did.

my unseemingly curt response, "we're done" is that i've been embroiled in too many divisive "arguments" on this forum, and i cant do that anymore. The time is short, but you dont deserve that, you deserve me explaining the path of my heart, which is that i judge not these little ones, who just walk in the darkness of their fear and their flesh.

what i do judge and disdain are the herodians and babylonians and romans that have come to rule the land, and the world. To me, they are the epitome of anti christ, fore what they lust for, is their golden calf, their money, their worldy power gained only thru the tip of the sword...and when they seek covering thru systems of religion, my zealouness for the Ministry of the Gospel, that is, the Way, the Simple Faith in the Son of God, sometimes overwhelms me with Jesus' Grief....Jesus always went to the poor, whether poor in food, or poor in spirit. To the rulers of the day, when they subjected the Lord to their "questioning", He kept SILENT, He had NOTHING to say to them. Herod, the high priests were all interlopers to Jesus.

How i would LOVE to see these "occupiers" washing each others feet! Confessing Jesus. How i would love to see some saint with the Glory of God about him or her, stand up and proclaim the Beatitudes in the midst of all that confusion.........so please, forgive my seeming harsh words to you...its not YOU, i direct that to....how i LONG for the day, when the "god of this age" is CAST into the lake of fire. Softly i say, please recognize that a fire is burning in my very bones, and i love you in the Lord, though i do not know you in the flesh, chastened and humbled, neil

I would urge you to reconsidering in leaving SI...you will likely be back, again, won't you?

Mother, i AM back, and would to God, He use my words, my heart, my soul, this keyboard with His Love, salted with Grace and Mercy, devoid of ego and pride, and all the muck and junk inherent in this jar of clay.

isnt it obvious, i am back, God in His Good Pleasure saw fit to first crush me, i wont bore you with that testimony, then in His Love He allowed me to flee Jerusalem and come into the land. come into the desolate places, where i live now, moved up here to the wild wood on 21 may, and then to put me in a cave, and then lead me to give study and prayer to those Giants of the Faith, the major Prophets, the minor Prophets, over and over, searching, asking, "Father God, show me your Attributes, show me the Messiah's Attributes, show me the Heart of the Prophets, show me the Heart of the followers of Jesus Messiah!!", and then God the Holy Ghost led me Back into the Gospel Accounts, eating of This Logos...and then one day, i read of a man, excoriating my precious brother Michael Compton, who i love, and i could hold my tongue and keyboard no further, and rebuked this poor man, who i beg God to bless with a Fresh Touch of Jesus.

Mother Ginny, how God loves me your son!!!! His Mercies and His Goodness are all around, a fire burns in my bones. Mother, he has GIVEN me a beautiful cabin on ridge, 2,00o feet in altitude, He has given me barns, barns i so desprately long to gather my brothers and sisters in to pray, He has given me poor land, which must be refurbished, with wisdom....He salted me with Love, meaning the ridge i live on, has neighboring farms, filled with dear souls who have harbored hate for one another, i introduced myself to them all, and each one of them detailed this hate, and i said to them this, "if i ever do anything to offend you, or make you angry, i beg you in Jesus, just come to me, tell me my offense, and you will hear these words from my mouth, 'i'm so sorry, please forgive me, how can i make this right'...and i told them, i CANNOT play into the hate, because i have nothing but Love for you'........you should have seen their faces, they didnt expect THAT. coz THAT is Jesus' Love...not mine, fore "God is love, He who lives in Love, lives in God and God IN him"....God IN him, you, us, the Church.

God told me, "start here, preach the Gospel with love HERE, on this ridge, then go out, into the towns, WHEN I tell you to, and only then. That outward Call i have yet to recieve, but i'm tarrying and i'm HAPPY in God!

Yet i have a thorn in my flesh, but i rest in Him. i have grief in my soul, on this account, my dear son and his mother, who divorced me, are 2,000 miles away, how i long for these two dear people. (i'm crying right now) thats why i never endevoured for an "office" in the Church.....i'm a divorced man. i havent had any doings with a woman since she divorced me. i was the one that made a hash out of this marriage, it was my fault, and i miss her so much, she was not only my wife, but my dearest friend, and still is, as we talk many times during the week.....and she actually extended an invite to me to fly to central coast california to spend Thanksgiving with them, which fills my heart with joy. i cant say anymore on that, except to say, i beg God to give me this marriage back, IF it is His Will, otherwise, i shall never seek another...i CANT...Bless you all for giving me the courage to testify my failings, for they are many.

many of you know, for years, my tent making was in the entertainment industry, such labor, i loathe. i have three books burning in my soul...all books of the Faith...different though. (dont worry! no "shacks"! LOL) but one book is a about a Japanese warrior, a man who changed history, his "memoirs", where he finally reveals to a nation, that he was not what he seemed, he was a Christian....hidden, but its belief that ONE man can change history....another book, i desire to write of the Attributes and the Heart, of both God, Messiah, the prophets and his followers, ONLY as the Lord leads....

But Mother, i AM back, and my prayer is that i be a blessing, however weak and small, in this tent of flesh, i have little time left, and must make the most of it, for Jesus, Whom i love, our Precious Messiah, Whom we all love, and follow, neil
