How do I reconcile the war?

admin

If you’re a Christian and trying to make sense of the war between the State of Israel and Gaza, you’ve been taught that Israel is “God’s chosen people”. But the violence against the Palestinians is horrific so you feel uneasy and unsure what to believe, this message may be for you.
The enemy has hijacked the term “Israel”. Just like the enemy uses a rainbow, a symbol of God’s promise to symbolize pride in sin.
The devil seeks to deceive by taking something good and attaching it to individuals who have submitted to living in sin. Many who want to do unspeakable, … Read moreHow do I reconcile the war?

Why did God “not tell us” about Covid?

admin

Disclaimer: This article contains some speculation for thinking purposes and in order to help us rightly divide the Scripture if a certain case were true. Ultimately, Deuteronomy 29:29 and Proverbs 3:5-6.

I once heard a pastor while preaching ask something like if there are all these prophets, why didn’t any of them forecast the onslaught of COVID?

I guess he was having some trouble with all the YouTube prophets etc prophesying this and that, blessings and riches and easily spoken prophesies and none of tidings of hardship. And to an extent he is absolutely correct. Because we see in the Bible … Read moreWhy did God “not tell us” about Covid?

“Don’t Laugh At Him”

admin

I was watching this video the other day and I laughed. I don’t believe I was laughing at him, but how he was talking. I then heard a voice “don’t laugh at him”. I knew immediately that this was God by the nature of delivery of the message. It didn’t come to my head, but my heart. “Still small voice”, audible, but still not audible. God, who reads hearts, knew the condition of my heart when I laughed. I felt immediately convicted and repented.

People will say that Democrats and Republicans are cut from the same cloth. Perhaps so as human … Read more“Don’t Laugh At Him”

Synagogue of satan?

admin

1. Yes, God loves the Syrians just as much as He loves people of other nations. But I beg to differ that the current Israel is of the “Synagogue of satan”. Certain individuals or groups may be, but not the whole of Israel. Israel should neither be highly exalted or looked down upon. Israel is still the nation through which the Lord Jesus chose to work through His plan of salvation.
“Now if some branches have been broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others to share in the nourishment of the olive root, … Read moreSynagogue of satan?

Obama on the Bible

admin

 
Someone might ask, well aren’t these valid talking points?
They are misguided. Let’s address his message and see. I will not address whether the US is still or no longer a Christian nation. Or whether or not the nation should be ruled via Christian principles. What I will address are the passages that Obama misrepresents. For some Christian, he sure doesn’t seem to have much faith in what’s written in the Bible. But that too I won’t bother to get into.
Whose Christianity would we teach? Biblical Christianity. Explain scripture with scripture, and things iron out very easily. So then it is … Read moreObama on the Bible

QA: Does the Bible Teach Works Based Salvation like Water Baptismal Regeneration?

admin

Short answer, no it does not. But what about Scripture like:
“He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.” – Mark 16:16
“And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit” – Acts 2:38
Doesn’t that teach that water baptism is a prerequisite to salvation?
Again, no, the Bible does not teach that we need to do anything more that believing in Christ in order to receive salvation. … Read moreQA: Does the Bible Teach Works Based Salvation like Water Baptismal Regeneration?

Comparing the Bible to the Koran?

admin

Some in order to defend the Koran will run to the Bible. Notice, when we need to defend the Bible, we use the Bible to defend itself. But almost every other literature wants to defend itself by the Bible, and sometimes they do so by means of “selective reasoning”.
I have heard many try to justify the passages of violence in the Koran by pointing to passages in the Bible. Why can’t the Koran justify its war without pointing to the Bible?
The reason for war in the Bible was always a case for dealing with sin. Moreover, each time there was … Read moreComparing the Bible to the Koran?

QA: Couldn’t God Just Not Create Hell?

admin

So here we are, at one of those “couldn’t God just do it like this” questions. This question might be interesting, but it exposes a gross misunderstanding about the nature of God (holy where sin cannot dwell), the nature of man (created in the image of God) and what happens when man disobeys God (broken fellowship with God).
What makes Hell hell has more to do with not experiencing God than anything. The Bible says all good things come from God (James 1:17). Therefore, Hell is a terrible place because nothing good is there, since a person in Hell is out … Read moreQA: Couldn’t God Just Not Create Hell?

A Child Born, but a Son GIVEN

admin

 
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” – Isaiah 9:6
Notice that the child was born, but the son was given. Signifying once more that Jesus was on Earth as God in the flesh. He was, is and is to come. Thank You Jesus for leaving your Heavenly home to save us from our sins! We owe it all to You.
Merry Christmas all! May our minds and hearts be focused … Read moreA Child Born, but a Son GIVEN
