Positive Bible Quotes Biography
Source(goole.com.pk)I have looked at many spiritual beliefs but nothing has spoken to me me on as high a level as Jesus' teachings and actions. The sermon on the mount (Matthew 5-7) shows that no-one has ever understood the importance of love, nor exactly what it means, more than the Messiah long-promised by God.
Many problems have been caused by some of the Jewish people's refusal to acknowledge Jesus as the Messiah. Many Jews, for example, live in old Testament Torah Times - believeing they are still 'God's chosen people'. It seems clear to me that God cut off the Jewish heirarchy from his favour after they pleaded successfully for the unjust death of his only son. The Israeli state's brutal and racist treatment of the Palestinian people makes it clear to me that Israel is no longer interested in the will of God.
I am a Quaker because I am not very excited by Britain's establishment church (the CofE) and 'middle men' like vicars & professional priests, or pastors generally. Nevertheless I recognise that they are caught in a very difficult bind - between their beliefs and their career and that many are great men and women of God.
The Old Testament prophecies that told of the coming of a Messiah, coupled with Jesus's attitude to the ecclesiastical and legal hierarchies of his day, have led me to examine the Bible more closely and find, life changing prophecies of the 'End Times', particularly relating to the re-establishment of His people, Isreal.
At least 52 different aspects of Christ's coming were prophesied in the Old Testament (see pp. xxvi-xxix, Jewish New Testament ISBN 965 359 006 5, Jewish New Testament Pubs. Inc. Maryland N.J. U.S.A.). Yet still He was not recognised as God's 'anointed one' or 'Messiah' by many Jews.
With a bit of Bible study we can be sure not to be deceived as the prophecies of the End Times unfold and Christ returns ultimately in glory for all the world to see.
Hey Tony, did the Tribulation begin on September 11th 2001? Will it begin tomorrow or in two thousand years time.........?
Strong's Concordance - a must for any Bible studyWorld Government is moving closer all the time - and what's the chance that it will serve the people? Zero! And hardly anybody tells the public or dares to talk about how totalitarian the European Union is. We could be in for some serious skullduggery in coming years/months. A political/financial crisis, combined with spiritual disinformation could push us into a Fourth Reich, New World Order, with an official world religion that claims to represent ALL religions. This is what Prince Charles is advocating NOW. Powerful people will certainly be preparing their version of a spiritual 'panacea' to fill the spiritual gap THEY have created.

Whilst political action against the greedy and for positive solutions gives us hope, it doesn't necessarily add up to much against the combined power of the capitalists, the armed forces and many of the media bosses! So the solution, it seems, will be spiritual and not political. We are in the middle of an an undeclared spiritual war and here The Bible is a peaceful but potent weapon - here are some passages which have meant a lot to me and form a basis for a different 'church' to the one most of us know. Some churches concentrate on this side of Christianity but most still use a single paid (and unbiblical) pastor.
I found myself drawn to Quakerism because we emphasise individual faith and testimony: The Society of Freinds was founded in England in the seventeenth century at the same time as the birth of state capitalism. The merchant classes in England conducted a comprehensive takeover from the aristocracy.
For more on The Quakers see the Journal of George Fox, itinerant man of God and the society's founder. Fox emphasised a direct personal relationship with God, through the Holy Spirit, and the need to repent in ones heart of previous sins, to be reconciled to God and forgiven.
Who does that Tony Gosling think he is?
A brief biog.
I was born in Gravesend, Kent in 1962 and brought up in Bromley, South London. I ended my formal education at Ilkley College in West Yorkshire with a Humanities degree, specialising in English Literature, from Bradford University. After working for a few years in the family aviation business I decided to have a go at radio journalism.
Volunteering at the GLC funded Radio Thamesmead (now Time FM 106.8) in South East London I eventually became their full-time volunteer editor of community programmes. RTM applied for, and got, an FM licence from the Radio Authority but as part of the financial deal manager Bob Smith took many of the best presenters off the air. I therefore left in 1991 for a researchers job at Greater London Radio, the BBC's station for London.
In 1992 I moved to BBC Radio Solent as a reporter and then on to BBC Wiltshire Sound, where I worked as Salisbury reporter, relief presenter and documentary maker. When Wiltshire Sound had a 'cash crisis' the BBC decided they no longer required my services. I moved to the Lake District where I took a year out then moved to Oxford where I got involved with environmental campaigning, volunteering at The Land Is Ours helping to organise land occupations in the mid to late 1990's.
After moving to Bristol and getting into investigative journalism I helped establish i-Contact video network and Ecovillage network UK. I spent a year on the National Executive of the NUJ and eight years as Secretary, then Vice-Chair of the Bristol branch of the National Union of Journalists until the 2009 AGM when I resigned from the Bristol executive.
I joined the Religious Society of Friends, or Quakers, in June 2005 and I delivered my first lecture on the Seventeenth Century Illuminati in October 2006.
Since Easter 2009 I have produced and presented Friday Drivetime, the weekly politics show on Bristol Community FM which gives a provincial perspective on the news 'in Bristol Britain and around the world'.

Tony's favourite Bible quotes
In true 'Desert Island Discs' style I have to here recommend another book as well as the Bible which I have found a tremendous testimony to the living God from the more recent past. That is the Journal, effectively an autobiography, of George Fox. This is the man who founded the Quakers or 'Society of Friends' during the English Civil War and his life was a tremendous journey as a simple follower of Christ's discerning message of love. Fox did not look for material gain and was, just like Jesus himself, regularly persecuted and plotted against for his simple Christian faith which was considered revolutionary by the established church. He called a spade a spade and suffered for his honesty, sometimes being put through terrible ordeals by his so-called Christian 'betters'. Through all this, right through the tulmut of the mid seventeenth century, God was by his side.
The Journal, George Fox, 1694, many subsequent editions.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear; 1 John 4:18
Don't worry, saying, what shall we eat? or, what shall we drink? or How shall we be clothed? For these are the things the gentiles seek and your heavenly father knows that you have need of all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be given to you. Therefore don't worry about tomorrow: for tomorrow shall look after itself. Matthew 6:31-34
