CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN?

  According to the statistics on the internet there are more than 45,000 different Christian denominations or groups in the world, and two or three different Islam groups. The Christian denominations differ from each other not because they have different Jesus, but because they have different leaders, pastors, preachers, priests who interpret the Bible differently, and members just believe them. Is that not amazing and troubling ?    It is estimated that there are about 2.0 billion of Muslims in the world and 2.3 billion of Christians worldwide.  Why are there over 45,000 different  Christian denominations for 2.3 billion members, and only three Islam groups for 2.0 billion members? Muslims worship one Allah, and Christians worship one Jesus. But what makes one group so much different from the other in terms of their faith in their God? Here is my answer. The prophet Muhammad does not allow anyone to change the words of their Allah. None! Jesus doesn’t al...

FAITH

  Today I want to write about a subject that I have never written before. It’s about faith. Those who are familiar with faith know that we can have faith in the teachings of God the Father, faith in the teachings of God the Son, or faith in the teachings of Satan. Where did we get our faith in the teachings of Satan from?  It must come from the dragon brought to us by the snakes, aka the false teachers, false apostles, or false prophets. All true Christians believe only in the teachings of God the Father and God the Son, and nobody else. While it is not too difficult  to identify the teachings of God the Father and God the Son by reading the Bible, the teachings of the Holy Spirit are not that easy to identify and very difficult to know. Why? Because they are often brought to us by the snakes , the false prophets, the fake  apostles, and by phony teachers. The Bible describes the false prophets as the following: “Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of th...

WHY WAS JESUS CRUCIFIED?

If you ask the Jews why did they crucify Jesus, they will say that Jesus was a false prophet. They see Jesus as a counterfeit of God. If you ask the Christians why Jesus was crucified, they will say to pay for our sins. But if you ask Jesus why He was crucified, He will say it was a mistake . When Adam and Eve lost eternal life they have never recovered what they have lost. They, the Gentiles, see Jesus’ death, a mistake , as a “ransom” for the sins of Adam and Eve. How can we make an intelligent decision based on a mistake ?  “Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do." And they divided His garments and cast lots.“ Luke 23:34. How could a mistake turn into “Jesus died to pay for our sins”? I do not know. I do not understand. I have no idea how our biblical scholars can come up with that kind of blunder.   I can’t manipulate words like the biblical scholars can because my mother doesn’t speak English well. “Now Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, to...

JESUS IS NOT A FALSE PROPHET

  The Jews crucified Jesus because they thought that Jesus was a false prophet. They were wrong. How do I know they were wrong? Because Jesus said in Matthew 5:17-20, "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. "For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one title will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. "Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches [them], he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. "For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.” Readers, I want you to read again, and again what Jesus said in Matthew 5:17-20. Why? Because He gave us His definition of what a false prophet is. And I want my readers to know and reme...

TOTAL OBEDIENCE

    Readers, has it ever crossed your mind that God demands total obedience from us? Nature totally obeys Him. When He created the world all what He had to do was to issue a command, and things happened immediately. “Let there be light” and there was light, instantly. Are we totally obedient to God? Read this, “Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, "Has God indeed said, 'You shall not eat of every tree of the garden'?" And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; "but of the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, God has said, `You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.'" Then the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die. "For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." So when the woman saw that the t...

SALVATION BY GRACE

  What is salvation by grace? Grace is God's kindness given to people like the thief on the cross when there is nothing more that the thief can do to get out of a critical situation: death on the cross. Grace comes in when there is nothing more that we can do, like the thief on the cross, to get out of a life threatening situation. The thief was dying on the cross, and Jesus was aware of it. There is nothing more that the thief can do. And here’s when God’s grace comes in. But we we are not the thief on the cross. We are not dying on the cross. Nothing is threatening our lives. So why do we need grace from God? So we can disobey Him? So we can eat dog meat? Is that why? If the church that we want to join forbids us from eating dog meat, find another church that allows us to eat dog meat. No grace is needed. Grace is needed when there is nothing more that we can do to save our lives like the thief on the cross. Then, and only then can we ask for God’s grace. Do not make fun of Go...

DO YOU KNOW?

  Readers, do you know that you can be saved today and go to  hell tomorrow? Why? Because you have to work each day to keep your salvation. Salvation is never ours to keep unless we earn it every day. We have to work each day to be saved. The thief on the cross doesn’t have to be saved every day because he died at the end of the day. If his friend could rescue him from the cross, who knows what else would he do after he was freed. Salvation by grace is never guaranteed unless you die soon after you are saved. If you are still living, you have to work to earn it, regardless of your faith. Once saved forever saved is a LIE ! Don’t you believe anyone who says that regardless of what hat or robe he wears, or how loud she screams. We have to work to earn our salvation each day. In Matthew 24:13 Jesus said, “But the one who endures to the end will be saved". Endures what? Therefore, once saved forever saved is a lie . We must work to prove our faith in God by our deeds. That’s ho...
