Defacing Private Property

Sometimes I am walking down the street and I see someone with all these piercings and tattoos on there body and I think to myself "I wish I could stop them from destroying their body like that,". Then I go into churches and I see the exact same behavior. It breaks my heart to see my fellow brethren falling into the same garbage as the world. So I felt like I needed to address this topic with all you guys. The word of God says in James chapter 4 verse 4: "Ye adulterers and adulteresses do ye not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God". And in 1John 2:15-17 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him". So we can see by these verses that God wishes for us to be free of the world, not following in its footsteps. We are "a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people" and we are to follow Him and even be willing to be hated for Christ's sake. So all your friends may have a cool tattoo and a pierced belly button, Who cares? If they are against God and his laws then we should not do it. It says in Leviticus 19:28 "You shall NOT make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead,nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord". Hmmm so I wonder what "print any marks upon you" means, but any way.. 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy: for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are" and 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 "What! Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's ". So we can see from this that our bodies are not our own, they belong to Christ and so we must honor Him with them. In these verses it also tells us that If we purposely try to change the way are hair is or punching holes through are ears it is not going to end well for us. Not to mention the fact that tattoos and holes through the ears both came from the natives and have to do with shamans magic and other pagan rituals. More info on that here: The Paganism Behind Tattoos.

Now I have heard people ("Christians") try to excuse there sin by saying "well Jesus in Revelations 19 had a tattoo so that means so can I". Whoa people hold the fort, what did you just say ? Jesus having a tattoo? Let's take a look at what they are talking about..
Revelation 19:11-16 says: 11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

Ok so first of all we see that he looks to have a name on his thigh so that automatically means a tattoo right? I mean they use needles full of ink too inject into peoples skin in heaven too right? No, sorry guys but this is not the case. Let's take a look... By saying Jesus had a tattoo on His thigh would mean that it was on the skin of his thigh. But a venture is a robe like garment that covers from shoulders down so either the Bible is really weird and is talking about a tattoo under his garment or the words are actually on the garment itself. So for verse 16 just to get a better idea of what I could be saying : and He had on a vesture and on his right thigh ( of the vesture) a name was written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. So we can see that this passage of scripture is most likely talking about the words being on the vesture or something that we don't know of. Also another good point to bring up is that if Jesus did have a tattoo on His thigh He would be disobeying the law and therefor not a perfect man and therefor not able to save us from Hell and eternal death.

Speak out agianst bullying

I Am
I am the person you bullied at school,
I am the person who didn’t know how to be cool,
I am the person you alienated,
I am the person you ridiculed and hated.

I am the person who sat on her own,
I am the person who walked home alone,
I am the person you scared every day,
I am the person who had nothing to say.

I am the person with hurt in her eyes,
I am the person you never saw cry,
I am the person living alone with her fears,
I am the person destroyed by her peers.

I am the person who drowned in your scorn,
I am the person who wished she hadn’t been born,
I am the person you destroyed for ‘fun’,
I am the person, but not the only one.

I am the person whose name you don’t know,
I am the person who just can’t let go,
I am the person who has feelings too,
And I was a person, just like you.


I have seen so many people start thinking they are worthless because of this huge issue. Bullying is a virus, a plague. Wherever it spreads it destroys millions of people’s lives, and more and more this is happening. Two out of three teens are verbally or fiscally bullied in schools. I post these things to get you to think and to speak out. Please.

The trouble with dating (part 1 of 2)

Ok so I recently have had a conversation with some friends that I would like to share with all you guys about dating. So Just to start things off If you are in favor of dating or you just are considering it then ask yourself this question. What does dating do and more importantly why do would I do it? These are very important questions and I will tell you what most people would say. Some would say "well I need to date If i want to marry" and others "well..I do it because my friends do it" but I think most people would say something more along this line "I date because its fun!!". Well lets just look at these for a minute. So for those who would say the last two this is what i will tell you. If you are doing something only because its fun or because your pressured into doing it chances are its probably something you a. don't need to do and b. probably should not be doing. And the Bible talks about those who only seek the pleasure. In Proverbs 21:17 It says "He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich." in 1 Timothy 5:6 it says "But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth." and last but not least the bible said in 2 Timothy 3:4 that in the last days men would be "Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;". So as we can see there we it is not good to only seek after what is "fun" or what "feels good". But instead we are to put on the full armor of God like it says in Ephesians 6:10-17: "10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." Now for those of you who think that dating is necessary and needed here is what I say. Where In the Bible does it say so and so dated so and so? Unless you can show me in the Bible that dating was done before marriage then we can safely assume it is not necessary. But then you might say "But where in the Bible does it say that dating is wrong?". Well lets just take a look at what the outcomes of dating are before we go any further. So we have a few outcomes 1. The two people involved date for awhile like each other and get married. 2. The two people involved decide they want to rush ahead so they get into bed together before getting married. 3. Something happens in the relationship and one of the two people involved leaves the relationship and breaks the other persons heart. Now unfortunately the last to are the most common today the first one not so much and even when it does happen it is most time a very broken marriage because the initial feelings for that person have now gone. Marriage takes commitment. Now lets see what the Bible says about the last two outcomes Ephesians 5:3 "But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;". 1 Thessalonians 4:3: "For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:" 1Corinthians 6:18: "Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body." So for anyone who does not know what fornication is here is the definition: voluntary sexual intercourse between two unmarried persons or two persons not married to each other So we see from all this that dating leads to premarital sex which is fornication which God hates and tells us to stay away from. Dating also leads to broken marriages because people get married to soon because they had the fuzzy feelings or what have you. And dating leads to brokenness in peoples lives like in the case where one person leaves the relationship and the other is torn apart. So we can see from these few scriptures and many others that God does not approve of what dating leads too. So short answer....Don't do it!!!So now you have heard my reasoning and what I believe scripture and God back up. I will soon be posting the second part to this post which is Alternatives to dating so stay tuned. P.S. If you want to contact me to tell me your opinion or comments you can do so by sending me an email at ben.forg@gmail.com or you can look me up on google plus as Ben Forg. With love, Ben Forg

The Reason I say no to bullying

I was never bullied as a kid. I fit in, had fun, and even was popular. But there where others around me who where not so popular. Two In particular i can remember, a boy and a girl. They where picked on by many people for things so small and insignificant. The girl was picked on for here very clingy and cheery attitude. The boy for his differences. I remember the girl brought her toothbrush to school so after each lunch she could brush her teeth. People made fun of her and left her out of activities just for being a "weirdo" so called. But that was not the worst part for me. I remember how I would go along with my buddies just fitting in not wanting to be the one to step out and stand up. And I watched as these people where bullied. I stood by while they where being trampled. The girl, last time i spoke with her told me she has nothing left. She gets sucked up into pokemon and make believe now. And the worst part is.. I only realized too late that It was me who was bullying her. I was part of the reason she lost hope. You see It does not matter If you are the one who is spewing hatred against the person. All it takes is silence. By not speaking up and doing what is right you are the bully. So before It happens In your life stand up for the people in your school, church,team,dance group, or just your friends because If you don't you my wake up one day and realize that it is to late. So please Say no To bullying.

Worldly music infultration

Hey guy I would like to talk to you guys about the Worldly music infiltration. What I mean by this is that some people think you can just listen to what you want. I mean lady gaga,Justin Bieber,Micheal Jackson I mean who cares right? We listen to what we want when we want. The thing is, the more we listen to secular and worldly music the more we become secular and worldly. And as Christians we are not supposed to do this. The Bible says: If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. We are not of this world nor should we be. Not only is secular music worldly, but it also promotes very evil things. In music produced by Justin Bieber we have lyrics like these from the very popular song baby: And I was like baby, baby, baby, oh Like baby, baby, baby, no Like baby, baby, baby, oh I thought you'd always be mine, mine Baby? This I think you will agree is very inappropriate. And lets be frank ladies and gentlemen he is being an adulterer. For it says in the Bible: Matthew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. These secular songs don't promote good things that God tells us to meditate on. These songs promote premarital relations and sex,drugs,violence,lieing cheating,sexual sins,and other evil things. As Christs followers we are to not only stay away from these things we are supposed to hate them with a passion for these things are not of God but of the devil. The ten commandments that God has given use says It. Exodus 20:3-17 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. 7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. 8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. 12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. 13 Thou shalt not kill. 14 Thou shalt not commit adultery. 15 Thou shalt not steal. 16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. 17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's. We must rise to the calling we have in Christ. We need to be more then Just okay we need to be blameless and perfect in Gods sight. Not to say that we don't sin, but when we do we must repent and turn away from are sin. So please listen to me. Listen to the word of God. Turn away from these secular songs and repent and sin no more.

Ancient Forces Collection (Forbidden Doors) Book

Okay guys I have been reading lots lately and one book that I love and recommend is Ancient Forces Collection (Forbidden Doors). This book is amazing.. It is a story of a teenager named Rebecca, her brother Scott and her boy friend Ryan. The three go to many places all over the globe on missions that a mysterious character named  z sends them to. Now I am not going to mislead you guys this is not some agent spy book or some mystery. No this book is different, much different. These teens are not just your ordinary teens there Followers of Christ. Their missions all have something to do with the spiritual world.To give you an example, in this book there are actually three separate books. The Ancients which is to deal with native spiritualism, The Wiccan which like the title suggests has to do with wiccan magic and The Cards which deals with Tarot cards. In each of the books it is revealed the dangers of getting drawn into these things and the consequences that follow. They also show how God is more powerful and will always prevail against the darkness and evil of the Devil. I would recommend this book for people 13+ because it is a bit scary (Them dealing with demons and all). I will not go on even though I really want to, because if I do I will spoil it for you guys. But one last thing that I found was very refreshing about this book it is clean and real.  So that about raps up my review (well it is a bit to short to be a review but any way). If there are any other Christian Books you guys would like to see a review on please just contact me.


And for any of you who would like to get your hands on this book:

John 14:6

Another verse that I think is great for not only telling people about the gospel but good for every day life is John 14:6. John 14:6 says " Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.". This verse is a really great for people who say well there are many ways to heaven not just through Jesus. This verse says something different... It says only those who come to Jesus Christ can come the the father. I just love the Bible it is so important to everything I do.

So I am back today guys and I would like to share some really neat verses from the Bible. The first one is Psalm 111:10 which says "
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise."

Intro to The followers Blog

Hey guys just wanted to introduce you guys to the For The Followers blog. I made this blog so I can share with all who read it what God is doing in my life. I would wish that all who read my blog will not give any credit to me but to give all glory and praise to the father above. I am a Christian but I am very careful with throwing around the term. I refer to myself as a follower,a follower of Christ. For any of you guys who don't know what that means...... it means I'm someone who follows Jesus Christ, the God of the Bible. I see the Bible as a tool a guide. In fact as one man once said " The Bible is an acronym and it stands for Basic instructions before leaving earth". I heard that and though.... wow I agree. I could not think of an acronym  more fitting or more true (Actually I could not think of any acronym for Bible). I think that the bible is also a sword or the word of God (like the bible says in Ephesians 6:17 ). so I will also be sharing inspiring scriptures and articles for you guys to read. I will also on some occasions post Christian book reviews or videos. Lots more stuff as well. But right now I have to go do some dishes with a friend so bye for now.
P.s. make sure to post any questions or requests you have in the comments.
