Some people think that they are born losers. They think that nothing ever goes right for them and often question themselves and others as to why they were even born. They as well as others often label themselves as “losers.” Their own low self-esteem-thinking of one’s self sets them apart and robs them of their dreams, goals, and aspirations.
Quit wasting your time wondering why or what if?
You were created in God’s image, so nothing is impossible.
God did not create you to fail.
Believe it or not God has blessed you with many blessings, talents, and a purpose for you.
It is up to you to identify who you are, use your talents take advantage of your blessings, and find your purpose in life to succeed in all things on Earth.
The most important person in your life is you.
It’s All up to You
To Be or Not to Be
For it is not the question
For it is only the answer
To which I have the key
For To Be or Not To Be
All depends upon Me
When all things seem to be going bad or you feel down in the dumps just remember:
You were created in the image of God
and
God did not create you to fail!

Was Adam really the first man created on Earth?
I have my doubts as to if Adam was really the first man created on earth, because the arithmetic of Adam’s creation according to Enoch, the most beloved man of God who never tasted death did not add up. (Enoch, his life, and teachings will be discussed later on in the Chapter). According to Enoch’s prophesy a Messiah would come 5,500 years after Adam’s death to free him and other lost souls from their chains in Hell. Enoch identified and described Jesus Christ 5,500 years before His coming. When asked, where He was going before His final ascension into heaven, Christ is cited as saying that He goes to other Kingdoms to free the souls of the dead. Christ ascended into Hell and freed Adam from his chains. So, I will gauge my findings on Enoch, the most beloved man of God.
According to Enoch, one of God’s days is equal to 1,000 years. Adam was created on the 6th day; so that means Adam was created sometime in the year of 6,000 BC. Adam died at the age of 934 which added to 6,000 is equal to 6,934. Now add the 5,500 years to 6,934 which equal 12,434 years-which is the estimated time of Christ’s death, resurrection, and descenion into Hell to free Adam. Now, add our present day of 2010 and your total is 14,444-give or take a few years.
This number, 14,444, I estimate to be the total age of civilized mankind.
Scientists have determined that the Neanderthal caveman inhabited the earth millions of years ago. Now, that is a big difference from the time Enoch and the Book of Genesis claim as the dates of the creation of the world and Adam.
Another difference between Adam and the Neanderthal caveman was that Adam was educated and could talk. According to the Book of Genesis, Adam named the animals and named God. The Neanderthal caveman was primitive and only grunted.
Also, there are some of those out there who think that man evolved from an ape which I highly disagree. I firmly believe that man was created in God’s image and God is not an ape which is further evidenced by the fact that angels of heaven gazed down upon the beauty of the earthly maidens. They descended to earth and took these maidens as their wives which angered God.
I do not think that the angels would have been attracted to a gorilla.
What's Your Opinion?

THE BIBLE FACT OR FICTION- SAYS WHO?
First and most of all, the Bible is the greatest book ever written.
I am no different from anyone else. Since the beginning of time mankind has always asked- Who is God? How do I satisfy God? Will I live forever?
Millions upon millions of people base their belief, religion, tradition, existence, and even their own life’s according to their Bibles, but are the writings of ancient Holy Scripture based on fact, myths, hard core evidence, and the real truth.
As I continued to read, it soon became very evident to me that the Bible was nothing but mere cliff notes of a much larger story. Take for example, the Memoirs of our Presidents who either served four or eight year terms. These books contained more information on these Presidents’ terms than the entire Bible contained on the combined total number of years of all prophets, saints, and even the Messiah. I knew more about the lives of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Ronald Reagan than I did Adam, Noah, Moses, and Jesus Christ.
Who really wrote the Bible? How many Bibles are there? And which is the true Bible?
Before I go on further it is very important that I stop here and tell you what I have learned:
• History is not always the real truth
• History is written by the victor
• History is sometimes based on the sayings or writings of people of prominence
• History is sometimes written by others
• History is sometimes based on hearsay
History May Not Be the Real Truth
The first most important fact that I must point out is that history is always written by the victor. So, history would have been written to his or their own ideas, thoughts, and ideologies. Could you imagine how history would read today if Hitler’s army would have won the war? What would we be reading or thinking as history today? What would you think the history of yester year would be like if Hitler’s army would have won the war? Also, what were the thoughts of the Japanese as to World War II? What do they have to say as to their side of the story?
The next fact you must understand is that history was also written according to the sayings and writings of others especially, those of the affluent or those of prominent stature. Here’s a prime example of what I am saying. Take for instance the story of the Famous Midnight Ride of Paul Revere written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Paul Revere did not actually complete the famous ride shouting, “ the British are coming, the British are coming.” According to actual accounts of the ride there were three men who began the ride, Paul Revere, William Dawes, and Dr. Samuel Prescott. The three were captured at a British roadblock. Paul Revere was detained and remained detained as Dawes and Dr. Prescott escaped. Dawes escaped into the woods. As he fled through the dark forest, he fell off his horse and was unable to ride. Dr Prescott jumped his horse over a brick wall and continued to ride. Actually, Dr. Samuel Prescott continued and completed the ride to Concord proclaiming that the British were coming. The reason Paul Revere gets credit is because there was no feasible rhyme as to the name Dr. Samuel Prescott to complete Longfellow’s poem. People took this as the truth because the poem and story was written by someone of stature, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Thus Paul Revere became the real hero and not Dr. Samuel Prescott.
A most puzzling fact also is that scholars and experts of today as well as back then could not agree on interpretations of scriptures and their actual dates and authorship. Many unknown scribes who wrote scriptures often used the names of other more famous people to give validity and substance to their writings misleading many people to believe that prophets, leaders, and saints had really written them when in fact they had not. Some were even written after the death of these prominent people. Also, many times I found that scriptures had been written from hearsay- long after the event or demise of a person.
That’s my opinion, What’s yours?

Simple Truths, A Self Help Guide to Help You Find Your Own Success, Peace, and Happiness
by Thomas M. Coletta
Christian Author Shares Simple Truths to Happiness, Success, and Finding One’s Life Purpose
[Mountain Home, AR January 19, 2010] “God did not create you to fail,” says http://www.tommycolettamarketing.com [Thomas M. Coletta] Christian speaker and author in his new book, “Simple Truths.” Packed with straightforward advice to help people find happiness, success, and discover their true life purpose, Coletta shines a beacon of light for those who are struggling with self-esteem, their career, unemployment, drug or alcohol abuse, lifestyle or who need help for their relationship.
http://www.tommycolettamarketing.com [Simple Truths] is a collection of vignettes that explores problems and presents solutions. Based on an unshakable faith in the Word of God, Coletta uses simple language to convey a simple message. However, the result is a book that does what few self-help books truly can: it helps readers assess their own issues and find their own solutions. Although he refers to himself as a simple guy, his message is powerful. Some might even say it is revolutionary.
Formerly an award-winning salesman wrapped up in the material life, Coletta knows firsthand how to disentangle from greed and suffering and build anew on a foundation of true Christian values.
Instead of competing with others for bigger paychecks, shinier cars and designer clothes, Coletta helps people understand that the real prize is in finding their purpose in life. Readers return to the fundamentals of good living through a series of assignments in which they identify why they have trouble coping with their problems and find solutions. Instead of striving for the things commercials tell them they should want, readers pursue their own dreams. In the process, they create genuine happiness and discover the success God meant for them to have.
“We make life so complicated when it’s really very simple,” Coletta says. “If you are created in God’s image then God did not create you to fail.”
His process builds an amazing, fulfilling life from the simplest of truths. “If I was going to correct my life, I had to go back to the basics,” Coletta says. “My priorities became God, Christ and the people around me.”
Coletta used to be a dedicated participant in today’s consumer-driven society. While working for Copy Products, Inc., he was their national top salesman despite being assigned to the company’s smallest office. He replicated this level of success at Toyota and other Fortune 500 companies, even setting a historic sales record at one firm. He was no stranger to high-figure deals or the rewards doled out by his employers.
Yet his personal life suffered. He married three times and admitted to “cutting up quite a bit” when he should have taken things more seriously. In addition to his own mistakes, the world around him was filled with war, materialism, violence, and endless competition. Even Christmas looked like nothing more than a buying spree that sparked fights over shopping mall parking spots.
“I don’t think there are any clothing stores, cars or copiers in heaven,” Coletta says. “I realized I was created to do more than just sell things.”
Thus began his long voyage through libraries of self-help, religious and spiritual books and seminars. But in an avalanche of exercises and a blizzard of pages, not once did he find the simple truths that would lead him to lasting peace and happiness.
At one point, he felt a presence pushing him to the floor. “I was nothing,” Coletta says. “It hurt and I was powerless. I felt like a fly that was about to be swatted. Then this story started coming to me. It said: ‘This is simple, keep it simple’.”
And so he did. He returned to the only baseline that means anything: God and Christ are first. After that, his next priority became caring for himself, his health, and his self-esteem. The moment he centered his life around these basic truths, everything changed. He left the crowded bustle of Memphis, Tennessee and moved to Mountain Home, Arkansas. In that quiet, peaceful place Simple Truths was born.
“Everyone knows their own problems but it can be embarrassing to talk about them with other people. Simple Truths helps readers evaluate themselves,” he says. By the end of the book, each reader will have discovered who they are, what they are, and what they want. Their answers will help them to create their own sense of self-confidence, happiness and success.
That’s truly as simple as it gets.
Coletta is available for public speaking engagements based on “Simple Truths”. He also provides specialized sales seminars for corporate venues. A workbook of motivational exercises entitled, “M.E.,” is available for distribution at any of his events. Special arrangements can also be made to use copies of his book for fundraising.

CHURCHES-CORPORATE MONEY MAKERS OR REAL HOUSES OF GOD?
This has always been hard for me to understand because if God created the entire universe it is hard for me to believe as many preachers, pastors, and priest say that their church is the house of God.
Where did Christ preach? I will tell you all along the roadsides-in villages- on mountain sides and mountain tops along the seas on the sea shore.
Now, this goes along with tithing. I once had a brief conversation with a very powerful preacher. I asked him this question. “Where does my tithing do the best? If I give the church 10% and the church goes out a buys another hymnal, pays a salary to the assistant choir director, buys another picture or stained glass window or If I take the 10% and go to a homeless, deserving family who is hungry and poor and bought them food, or help pay their gas or electric bill, or help them with a medical bill. Where has my tithing done the best?
He was befuddled and stuttered as he said well of course the second example. Case closed. Well, then why can’t all the churches ban together come together as Christ described and help all those in need? Excuse me but is this the correct way for Christianity to be? Think of the millions of dollars that could go helping the sick, afflicted, the poor.
Can anyone tell me how much money or salary was or Christ had or was paid- How about Peter, Paul, James, John etc.?
I know just in the city of Memphis, you could go around the corner and there be another Baptist Church, Presbyterian Church, Methodist, or Catholic. Most of the churches do not even fill all the pews why can’t they join another branch saving mortgage payments, pastor salaries, electrical bills, phone bills, office expenses, etc.
I personally feel like if I am going to pay any money to people who spread the word and work for the goodwill of man-I would say I would rather donate my tithing to the missionaries all those who go out into the world to help mankind with their work and not merely by their word.
I know that this could work because at Easter I have attended and seen where all religions banned together and rented a stadium, forum, or coliseum and came together in worship service.
Also, one belief of the early Christians was that there was no need for a church or leader to be paid to spread the gospel. Sorry guys, now I guess you will jump out there and try to smear me. Go ahead for Jesus, once said, “If you believe in me- Come with me leave everything behind do not turn back and follow me.”
I am not about condemning churches I am just saying or thinking would it make sense?
Also, as far as some man made building being the house of God- I cannot recollect any of the early prophets who experienced visions of God as being in the house of God. Abraham, Moses, or John all experienced visions - a burning bush for example- all were out in the open nature?
Maybe I am wrong but that’s my opinion and you have yours. All I know that by combining all religious man made buildings and channeling all the money would certainly help out our fellow man and is that what Christianity is supposed to be all about.
I am not trying to attack any one church or religion-I am just thinking out aloud.
Where is Christianity best served?
In the real world or in a man made brick building?
How about you?
Where did Christ preach? I will tell you all along the roadsides-in villages- on mountain sides and mountain tops along the seas on the sea shore.
Now, this goes along with tithing. I once had a brief conversation with a very powerful preacher. I asked him this question. “Where does my tithing do the best?

Also, as far as some man made building being the house of God- I cannot recollect any of the early prophets who experienced visions of God as being in the house of God. Abraham, Moses, or John all experienced visions - a burning bush for example- all were out in the open nature?
Maybe I am wrong but that’s my opinion and you have yours. All I know that by combining all religious man made buildings and channeling all the money would certainly help out our fellow man and is that what Christianity is supposed to be all about.
I am not trying to attack any one church or religion-I am just thinking out aloud.
Where is Christianity best served?
In the real world or in a man made brick building?
How about you?
