A lovely farm

     With the passages of the chapters of John, he states that love is one of the most important things that God had thought of. Not only with the obvious, but many other passages go with love, even John 3:16 shows how much God loves the whole world. But the loving of those around us seems like one of the most difficult things for slot of people, and there are a lot of other things that some would say is more difficult. With one of the 10 commandments, God says that we should love those as you would love ourselves.

Explaining Jesus

     With the people we know, we learn to accept who they are and don't worry about their problems. This also includes religion about them, and at least for me, I have learned to just be used that they aren't Christian. I am eventually going to build up the courage to ask them about their religion, but their are also steps that are including answering questions. With others' situations they are able to continue about how their friends religions are dealt with. 
     When we there are those that try to be able to be as revealing in our discussions, and how to be able to argue about the points made. Even with just explaining who God is, is one of the biggest challenges that us Christians face. When we try to explain that He is not one, but 3 people in just one person. But as for us, it's what we were taught since the beginning, but if you research you will mainly find that their is either one person or multiple peoples, but we are either are actually either to prove that, but because the Bible we have a type of proof for God.

Farming lessons

     With new teaching for anything may not be the most interesting, but that's not for most things for a lot of people. With the teachings especially concerning religion are of one of the most important things to people and they don't want to be shown as incorrect with their beliefs. Now there are those arrogant people that will shun out anything the instant they think it's wrong, but we need to hear of these other teachings in our lives.

     With this in our lives, we should absolutely listen to other religions and learn about them to be able to teach them in our religions works corresponding to our religion. With working in the missionary fields, we need to be able to be relate to others and get through to them and how to teach them. Even with just talking to people in our school, church, or neighborhood; we are able to just explain the basics to anyone. What about if the people don't want to abandon their religions and follow God, then what should we do? We just need to give time for it, just like a lot of other problems that will fix itself.

Potatoe money

     Worth the problem of money on this world is that it's completely controls the mind of most people. With the view of Christianity, it's the whole view using it to honor God and not for themselves. With James 2:1-3, it tells that the gold that women wear should not control them, and the clothes that men wear to hold them back. So there are also many ways that money can control our thoughts and emotion, like prostitution for women who might be desperate for money, or for people who judge others just because of those who don't have enough of it.

Church farmers

      In authority of the church is one of the most important parts of the church apart from God Himself. There are many parts of the church to even choose to be the "leader",but because of man that God made, we are unreliable and incompetent. So there are the pastors in the churches and other parts of the church that oversees the choices of the church and activities. But even though the they are the leaders of the church, they still need overseers of their actions in case of corruption or power hungry. So I believe that the church should be over viewed by the people chosen by the participants of the church, and they select the pastor of the church.
     As far as the whole women being heads of the church, I see no issues with women being the pastor of a church. With the whole view of women being "lesser"
than men, but is almost the exact same thing as racism where people think others are "lesser" than they are because of skin color, but in this situation is the gender of the person. So, yes I believe that women can be the head of a church, with still continue for the participants of the church to continue choosing who is the head of the church.

What is your "farming" style?

       Out of the four views on Christianity I will be supporting the post millennialist views. Through the viewpoints of post millennialism it's said that God will return after the millennium, and that He is binding satan currently. So in the belief, people go to their church to help keep satan under God's control, and then afterwards go and praise for their acts I their churches. One of the main churches they this may happen in is the IHOP, which not only houses select beliefs, but all of the beliefs.

     Also with the postmillennialist is that tribulation is the persecution; like the first Jewish Roman war (around 70 A.D.). With the whole emphasizing society and the individual lives of others, and especially to be very confident with preaching the gospel throughout time.

     SCRIPTURES
     Matthew 24:14
     Romans 11:13-15
     John 5:28-29
     Micah 4:3
     Mark 3:23-27

Prefarming or farming of will?

     With predestination, many people are confused at the fact that God either has already chosen what we are going to do in our life, or we actually have a free will. In Ephesians 1:11 "In him we were also chosen having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will.", it says that by following Him, that we will be predestined by His plan, but what happens when we don't accept him?

     With predestination, if we accept God then we are predestined to do what is according by His plan, but if we don't accept Him then we are just aren't destined to do anything. No. God has given us the choice of following Him, but He promises us eternal life in heaven. But depending on our choices and how much we follow God's word, we will have the chances to go on a journey to a part of the world to spread His word. Even just to share the word with someone that we don't even know, but is that predestined?

     While in faith we believe we have a purpose in God's world, but honestly we don't completely understand everything He has shown us. While other religions claim that our lives are just to please a "god" and nothing happens or we return as an animal. But with Christianity, we have the Bible to help reassure us in God's plan for us, and we are not taking a shot in the dark and hoping what we do is good enough for God.

Farmer heaven

Death is an important part in life, and we all experience it in family and friends and eventually ourselves. Paul uses death as a tool to prepare our selves for our life, and give understanding for the future for our lives. In God's way of death, when we die our souls goes to "heaven" where we wait as He prepares our eternal homes in the true heaven. Also when He returns, He will raise up those who had died and bring them to heaven first the Hos children. While the Christian religion shows happiness after death and a place where we can be with our God, but that's not the same for other religions.

In the many religions in the world, they all have a different meaning of the word death. For the Hindus, when they die they are reincarnated into another animal on the earth and live out another life like that. So when the family mourns, they also try to figure out what animal the member of reincarnated into and keep one in their house as if they are the same person. For atheists is another story, where you die and you are dead. There isn't going to any heaven or returning back to the earth in another form, you are just dead. While referring back to Ancient Rome, Romans thought that they would go to another world after they died, and that life on the earth was a type of test and that they would go to another place as their "real" life begins.

The coming of farmer Chrost

 Paul gave the theologians words of wisdom of when Christ will be coming back to the world for the second time. He said that God will be coming back, and to remember to follow His words. Because he will remember all of your life and never forget what you have done. 

He told them to stand firmly and to always praise and thank God for he loves you and always will be there for you. Because those who who follow His ways, will be given his glory for the life of Him. And to remain to pray to him and for help with their lives because it's too hard to do it themselves. 

Paul also told them to stay away form the idols of the world, for they are corrupt. For they will do nothing for you and bring many hardships. He also warned to continue to work and do not grow lazy, and to continue working hard. Or if you do grow lazy, he will not earn food or drink for his time he spends doing nothing, and to do any of his works in the name of God.

Life strugglez

Why is Paul upset at Peter? What could he have possibly done to cause this conundrum? Let's travel through the Bible to find out why!
So Peter was a messenger from Christ, who was sent to convert the Gentiles from their ways, but that caused a fuss in Antioch. By regularly eating with the Gentiles, Peter encouraged them to follow Christ, but he was worrying others by his acts. James especially did not like this idea, so he sent out some of his men to tell him to stop in the name of the Jewish law, for it didn't follow in the ways of shunning the Gentiles from their faith.
From there on, Peter lived his life that he had never eaten with any Gentile and acted like it never happened, that was until Paul confronted him.

Paul was frustrated why Peter and the other Jews would part away from their acts of Christ and follow this Jewish "law". He confronted ten by saying, " We who are Jews by birth and not by 'Gentile sinners', know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith is Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified" (Galatians 2: 15-16). Paul said this because he was afraid that the gospels would be in danger of being lost in the middle of all the man-made religions. 

Paul co fronted Peter, because he was living a double life, by going from eating and praising with the Gentiles to blocking them out of his life completely, and doing this because it goes against some of the false religion's laws and shows they are wrong. 

So in our journey with Christ, we should be able to take that step out of our boundaries and never let others hold us back because of our choices, and never live a double life just because we want to be accepted by others. For God tells us to do everything in our life for Him, but it is part of our human nature to want to be accepted by others so it's a challenge for Christians to forget about being accepted and just live our life for Christ.
