Is Jesus Christ the Son of God?

Image
And God said, " "This is my beloved Son with whom I am well pleased".    Hundreds of thousands of people, if not millions, don’t want to believe in Christianity because they don’t want to accept that Jesus is the Son of God, or believe that God himself would have a child.   But why should it matter for God to have a son or not? Even if Jesus is not the Son of God, a person should not reject Him as the Messiah or Savior.   Even if Jesus was not the son of God, no one else was sent to teach us the Gospel of love, forgiveness and the redeeming of sins---no one else.   There is no prophet or guru that can save you. If you don’t believe that Jesus is the son of God, this should not be the stumbling block that prevents you from being saved.   Don’t risk you eternal life on this self-imposed prerequisite.   It is not worth it. When I accepted Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior God guided me to this quote in the Bible after Jesus was baptised, "...

Newton Killer Found

Sandy Hook Memorial, Voice of America, Public Domain Last week on Friday December 14, 2012--two weeks before Christmas, madman Adam Lanza opened fire and kill 20 angels in the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Connecticut.  Only one man is responsible for the deaths of all these innocent babies and that is Adam Lanza.  No one else!  Nonetheless, as a community of believers, we  are ALL wholly or partly responsible because we have become a complacent society. We don't want to be bothered with other people's problems and affairs.  We want these problems to take care of themselves.  Well, this horrible incident proves that they do no take care of themselves.  We as Christians should be at the forefront of preventing these violent episodes from occurring.  Many people of faith, especially Christian pastors went on the air to say that as a nation, all we need is prayer.  I totally disagree.  We need prayer and action!  I...

Characteristics of False Religions

Image
Public Domain   In the last days, Jesus said that there would arise many false religions. Their teachings would be so convincing that they would lead many astray. In Galatians, The apostle Paul went a step further by warning us that “if anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to that which you received, let him be accursed.” I am listing some characteristics of how you can determine the true Gospel from false Gospel’s. 1. Jesus said that he did not come to change the Word of God. (Matthew 5:17) All religions that came after Jesus claim to bring new messages from God. 2. Jesus did not forbid the eating of any specific food. (Acts 10:9-15, Matthew 15:10) Other religions after Christ, command to abstain from eating many kinds of food. 3. Jesus asked his followers to be “the light of the world.” (Matthew 5:16) Many religions of today operate in secrecy or separate themselves from the world. 4. Jesus commanded his followers to love ev...

Christians Enjoy Their Life!

Prodigal Son, Public Domain Christianity is the Best Because: Our Converts Don’t Get Killed Christianity is better than any other faith in the planet for many reasons. One of those reasons is that if a person decides not to believe in Jesus Christ ---that person will not be physically killed. Other major religions explicitly order the killing of the one who leave their faith. Not Christianity! Christians will feel sad, but they will not persecute the one that leaves. Christians will always pray and hope that their brother or sister returns. Christians have a great example in the story of the Prodigal Son found in Luke 15:11-32. After the rich man’s son goes away from home, the Father is always hopeful that his son will return. And when he comes back, the Bible says that a l l the angels in heaven rejoice for the return of one lost sheep. The Bible is so incredible. So full of love, hope and peace. No other religion in the world has the same kind of teachings that the Bible ha...

Congress Goes Sexting Crazy!

What Happened to Forgiveness?? United States Congress, Public Domain This week two major scandals brokeout. One involved House Rep. Anthony Weiner, who sent lewd photographs of himself to others through Twitter; and Tracy Morgan, the comedian, who made a 'homophobic' statement. What these two celebrities did is bad. They both demonstrated a lack of common sense and tact. But what is worst is the reaction of the nation. Hate is spreading like wildfire in the United States. It seems as if the whole nation is demanding for Weiner to resign, and to be criminally prosecute. Gay rights activitits are demanding that Tracy Morgan be fired from his job, in a country founded by the premise of "freedom of speech". They have both apologized profusely. They both have admited they made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. Everybody lies! The people that want these men to be burned at the stake are far from perfect. What is happening to our nation? Love and forgiveness is be...

Not Ashamed of the Gospel!!

Alabama State Government, Public Domain I ain't White. And I don't believe that Governor Robert Bentley of Alabama is racist for his most recent eye-popping comments he made inside a Church. All those people that are saying he is racist and a throwback to the racism experienced in Alabama during the Civil Rights Era are full of rubbish.. He said: "anybody here today who has not accepted Jesus Christ as their savior, I'm telling you, you're not my brother and you're not my sister, and I want to be your brother." What he meant to say is that we are not spiritual brothers and sisters. It's true! He does not hate non-Christians just because they don't believe in Jesus Christ. Does it sound harsh? To those that don't ever want to accept God's ever redeeming love through Jesus Christ, of course it sounds harsh. But Jesus Christ said the same thing himself when his family was looking for him when He was preaching. In the book of Mark 3:3...
