Jesus Circumcision?

Fulfilling the Law and set us Free!

The Law is what the world lives under and to set us free from rules and regulations was the work of Jesus, who we as believers in Him will be celebrating this Christmas?

Many have taken away the emphasis of this part of the story of the birth of Jesus, their reasons may be more to do with anti-Semitism rather than it being just a minor issue!

Jesus came for Israel first and so He had to fulfil the Jewish Law by doing everything that it required, because He was both perfect and sinless a second Adam. If we see this and point it our to others, it will make understanding more of the New Testament teachings in a better way.

Limiting it because its not relevant now, is no excuse in explaining the role of the law which will come up again and again in the scriptures! One is concerned that much racism amongst believers is both a block and short coming to mission, outreach and preaching the Gospel today?

Let us this season stand back knowing the fulness of this season and our own salvation in God, hoping that by our witness others will to come to faith in Jesus the King of Israel and the Saviour of the world!

Luke 2:21,   Genesis 17:12,    Leviticus 12:3,    Galatians 4:4-5.

By faith Alone?

The conundrum of the Reformation!

Martin Luther added in the word alone to the translation of the Holy Bible to German and English to emphasise his point in relation that only faith saves!

But the original Greek manuscripts never had the word alone, since faith was already known as the key to knowing God!

The problems for Martin Luther like or loath him was he had ninety six issues with the Roman Catholic Church, which he questioned and then had no choice but to break away from?

Faith in itself encompasses much, but the Latin translation from the Greek may have deliberately blocked this truth off, so that made the Pope infallible as the leader of the Universal Church.

Today occasionally if not commonly many new words are being added to the Bible to get a clearer meaning, one must be careful to not go beyond what is being said? Because some of this can be used to change the meanings and justify sin, since we remain fickle in our nature!

Romans 1:17,   3:28,   5:1-2,   Galatians 3:11,   Philippians 3:9,   Hebrews 11:6-7.

Israel! Two.

Prophetic and Reality?

Where do we think Jesus will return to when He comes back?

All prophecy is based on the Messiah Jesus in relation to the events that will lead to the end of our world and the great day of Judgement! This will take place in the restored Temple o the Temple mount in Jerusalem and not as some think, Rome or some other place full of Christians?

Jesus is not just returning to gather Ekklesia, but also to restore Y’srael Basilia ot the Kingdom of Israel! Some believe this will be the establishment of the real Israel, but that has already happened so that the false messiah will be revealed!

How can we be sure of this facts, first many believers now know that we are living in the last days of the great delusion! People want to defy God on every level, they also want to undermine the teachings of the Bible and twist them to suit their own agenda!

Israel grows and its enemies are either appeased or are to be removed, the world goes with the idealistic idea of a two state solution, but there is nothing in the Holy Bible in relation to that set up!

Isaiah 10:21-22,   Jeremiah 3:14,   31:8,   Daniel 11:28-29,   Hosea 3:5,   Zechariah 8:3,  Malachi 1:4,   Acts 2:20,   1 Corinthians 1:8,   1 Thessalonians 5:2-4,   2 Timothy 4:8,  Hebrews 10:25,   37,   2 Peter 3:4,  10,   Revelation 1:10,   2:16,   19:15.

Jesus’ Return! Two.

The falling Away?

There are many different ideas in relation to the interpretation of the book of Revelation and much of it has to do with the influences of replacement theology, if believers would see Israel’s role in this then perhaps we would have some clarity?

But this will not happen with these influences and so we can only gain a limited picture of some of the essential truths, such as the great falling away of believers from the truth!

We are living in these times now, where the doctrine of love has been manipulated to run contradictory to the word of God! It is justifying lust, sexual immorality, dishonesty and the breakdown of the family!

It has been a gradual process taking place in the western-Church over the last one-hundred and fifty years, but what has come to the fore in the last seventy years is the growing hostility based on mans ideas of equality in relation to Israel.

Jeremiah 2:13,   2 Thessalonians 2:3,  1 Corinthians 6:9,  1 Timothy 4:1-3,   2 Timothy 3:1-3,   4:3-4.  John 17:12, 

ISRAEL? One.

Biblical and Historical!

It would seem today the state of Israel is not the true restoration of the nation of the Hebrew peoples, because they are not living in a Holy way and not at peace with their neighbours, the Palestinians?

But no other ‘Christian nation is purely Christian in either ethic or morally, so now we come to a dilemma that we are all sinners or just some? One is using this view to draw out the hypocrisy of anti-0Semitism that has been in the Christian Church since at least the second century AD!

We cannot have it both ways, or use excuses when failing to recognise that the Jews are blinded by God so that the Gentiles might be added to the Kingdom of God! There are also many other aspects in relation to the peoples of the land and deals struck long ago, but this was not with the Philistines!

What can be said is why the so called Palestinians living under the Ottomans never developed the land to the standards of what Israel is today or was one-hundred years ago?

Ezekiel 28:25-26,   Joshua 9:6-16,   Matthew 9:13,   Mark 2:17,   Romans 11:2,   11-24, Galatians 2:17,   James 4:8.

Philip and the Ethiopian! Two.

Simple Faith, Sometimes?

There are many who claim that even a child can come to know God with simple faith, but this is not possible here because something is missing?

Bias is a terrible sin, we cannot know another’s heart that is the realm of the Almighty? But there are too many today who rush to pass judgement on others because they fail not in the same way as the Judges!

There is a place to test the believer to see if they are really walking with Jesus as they claim and if not it is our responsibility to help them?

We do need to examine ourselves in relation to both Anti-Semitism and racism in the Ekklesia, along with many other issues such as disability! We need also to be ready to encourage and help each other with our issues?

Matthew 7:1-6,   Acts 8:37-39,   James 2:1-13.

Jesus’ Return? Part-One.

When and Where!

Over the last two-thousand years their has been much speculation and false predictions in relation to the return of Jesus? One has to wonder why do some Christians continue to go against the world of God in relation to the matter, that Jesus said only the father knows all this?

Wither it is replacement theology, modernism or down right Anti-Semitism, it has become a blinder to the whole truth in relation to the Church and Israel! What many believers do not understand is that they are being drip-fed Reformation theological crap, which is not actually in the bible!

Israel and the Church are one in Christos/Messiah, but they are two, when it comes to the bible! This is because the false-Messiah has to come to the Jews in Jerusalem, Israel before the Lords return and that will be to the New Temple!

So now all the rubbish about a two-state solution and the rights of the Philistines to a homeland does not fit the picture of reality, because these beliefs are false and are from the worlds prospective?

Job 15:34,   Psalm 98:9,    Isaiah 13:9,   Daniel 9:27,  12:11,   Zephaniah 1:15,   2 Thessalonians 2:3-14,  Revelation 20:4-7.

Philip and the Ethiopian! One.

Controversial Doctrine?

Both Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch are under estimated in the Christian experience, many believing today that this account in the scriptures was never really there?

But this is not true from the point that God was bringing the death and resurrection of Jesus to the Jews in the Horn of Africa! It also shows us the little talked about ministry of Philip who knew that Jesus was the long awaited Messiah of Israel.

The problem with the Ethiopian conversion is that it does not fit the historical reformation doctrines of how sinners are saved, believing in a certain process for that salvation which today has become a mantra in evangelical circles as sometimes the only way?

Faith is not based on a set or process of doctrines, but rather on the power of God to change our hearts, to no longer be hostile to Him. The other reason for the avoidance of dealing with this area is the old one of white racism to black people, and in some cases that not all black Christians are really born-again?

John 1:45,  3:3,  5,  15-21,  31-36,  Acts 8:26-39 , Romans 3:22-23,  6:22-23.

Carnivals?

Notting Hill, Reading, Glastonbury!

The justification of sin or just having a good time?

Cultures are different, something that should be considered by all believers in the statement made by the Gospel of John’ For God so loved the World! Controversial  because it addresses humanities failure on race and so to Ekklesia that carries the un-repented problem of being in the community of all the same?

We can claim that next weekend will see a rise in crime in W-London with the annual west-Indian/Caribbean street party and much will be reported and addressed in relation to all the negatives of it?

But neither Glastonbury or Reading will receive the same fare reporting of its drug abuse and violent cultures and this is because it will be majority white and civilised over that of black and dark skinned?

Genesis 6:5,  1 Kings 8:39,   Job 21:27,   Psalm 7:9,  19:14,  139:2,   Isaiah 55:8,   Jeremiah 11:20,   Amos 4:13,   Luke 2:35,   Acts 1:24,   Philippians 2:2,  Hebrews 4:12.

BREXIT? Staying in Europe!

A lying Government?

Britain is in a disaster over the lies about Brexit and how our politicians are now manipulating us to fulfil their own ego’s! This is the current fact that nothing is going to change and why?

Because all of them have been bought out by the wealth of the European Union and NATO, recently the U.S. President advised our PM on how to leave the E.U.! But she revealed she had no intention of leaving and would continue to cover up and fool the people of this nation with false promises!

One reason may be that we have no choice anymore in relation to voting and its better to just stay in and push on with the post-World War II vision for European peace?

1 Samuel 25:6,   Isaiah 33:7,   39:8,   45:7,   57:21,   Jeremiah 8:11,   John 14:27-28,   Acts 9:31,   Romans 3:17.
