Hi. We are both born-again believers for the last thirty years and we have always had the desire to share our faith with everyone, other believers to be encouraged because it is hard to follow God! To those seeking Him, that they will find that He is able to forgive us our pasts and that He loves us to bring us back into fellowship with Him. There are many who do not want to know or are blinded by legalism, believing this is enough? But the truth of the Bible is that there is only one way and this has to be made through God's One and only Son Isa,/Isus,/Jesus,/Yeshua! Jesus was the final sacrifice for our failures, he was the final atonement and our repentance and faith in Him, will bring us back into relationship with God, Elohim, Al-Liylah (Allah).

Happy New Year 2024!

Jesus and the Law?

Many unwise believers today think that God has given up on His law and its application in our lives, but as we who have a personal faith should know that He has not and the Law of God is eternal!

Yes we are free from the curses of breaking the Law and its punishment, because Jesus fulfilled this for us on the cross and His rising from the dead!

But the law is still not to be abused or ignored and the ten Commandments are part of the 613 laws that cover all area of our lives, they are not archaic as some believe, because of where we might live in the world and we are advised to obey them in our relationship with Jesus, while also pointing them out to both Kosmon and to Ekklesia?

Exodus 20:1-17, Leviticus 19:22, Matthew 19:17-19, 1 John 4:7-21.

The cost of Faith!

Bearing Witness?

All believers will be challenged about our faith in Jesus, about truth, honesty and integrity and we have both a testimony and a knowledge of God and what He is doing for us!

When we think of Stephen the first martyr of the Ekklesia, we see a man who could not be out done and so out of spite and jealousy free slaves handed him over to the religious men of the day to have him stoned to death.

Many believers around the world today are being murdered for the name of Jesus, wither they practice or not, they bear the name Christian and Islam is one of the most hostile followed by all atheism nations who make excuses for truths they cannot bear to hear?

Matthew 10:15, Mark 13:9, Luke 21:13, John 15:26, Revelation 6:9-11.

Christmas!

The real meaning of?

We all know the events of the Christmas story and how we can cross reference the Gospels with the book of Isaiah and other to fit the traditional picture of it, but so much can be missed out in the leaving out of certain passages.

Most of western-Christmas is associated with the Catholic Church and the Protestants have taken out the bits that they do not like in relation to doctrine, while the eastern Church celebrates more the iconography of the saints than scriptures?

But we want too look at the message of Salvation through Jesus and why He came into our world to save sinners like you and me!

Numbers 24:17, Isaiah 9:2, Luke 1:76-79, 2:8-15, 30-32, John 8:12.

Creationism!

The Genesis Factor?

The debate in the world continues over creationism and Darwinian theory as too evolution only from a scientific point of view, that always discounts the facts of the Holy Bible and yet here in the scriptures we have the simple answers to complex questions!

In recent years climate change or global warming are at the of the agenda of humanity and one would think why are we not racing to save our planet?

Biblical truth points to our world created out of water and the first world destroyed by it because of evil, but this second world is to be destroyed by fire and it will become dry and parched!

Genesis 1:6, 9, 9:15, Hebrews 11:3, 2 Peter 3:5-7.

The book of Revelation?

A mirror to the soul re-exploitation!

Replacement theology has lead many believers to discount the teaching of the book of Revelation as having no practical application in our modern world, but sometimes it is referred too in relation to End time events and the return of our Lord Jesus?

Otherwise the key elements of the salvation of Israel and the underlying secret slavery in society is avoided, it is a mirror of guilt in relation to service, servitude and cheap workers for clothing, medical care and a under payed work force and former imperial slavery and the lack of compensations to the survivors?

God is the only one who really knows our hearts, we may be serving Him in good faith, while hiding the secrets of prostitution, dishonesty, tax evasion and corruption, secret societies and much more!

John 9:41, Titus 3:3, Hebrews 4:13-14, 2 Peter 2:19, Revelation 7:1-8, 18:13.

To Murder.

The definition of to murder and to Kill?

In the Old Testament we have the same word translated from the Hebrew to English of kill and murder Strongs H7523 Ratzakh (Ratsach), but the context is not the same as some just allow and this is because to kill someone could be an accident or one who is a soldier is employed in war to do so. Exodus 20:13.

To murder implies intent, the legal term being Malice after thought and thus we are in sin with God for doing this. Cain is the example of getting jealous of his brother Able and allowing sin to master him and commit the first murder.

The word used here in Strongs H6865 Qum (Koom) Genesis 4:7-8.

In the New Testament we are warned that there will be no murderers in Heaven. Strongs G5406 Phoneus. Revelation 22:15.

It is important to understand these areas in the light of the ongoing situation in Israel from the 7th October to the present, that there must be a definition between terrorism and the actions of the army of a democratic nation and the right to defend the people!

Islam, not a religion of much peace?

7/10/23. Thirteen plus hundred people Murdered!

Even before this terrible event in Israel one could not describe Islam as a religion of peace as it likes to be seen by the its self, many nations in conflict are up against Islamic fundamentalism and when it is not that it is the sectarianism between Shia and Sunni Islam?

No matter where in the world Muslims live, there is a anti-Jewish and Christian mentality, a hostility that they must have their way over every other belief system and if let be more and more is taken until they dominate with violent threats to convert to their way of thinking!

Islam came to the fore in the sixth Century and contains about two-thirds of the Holy Bible in the Qumran, but the interpretation is way off and the New Testament/Injil is seen as corrupt, while some books are false or have key sections on salvation removed.

Jesus/Isa is seen as a human man, a great Prophet, and all that is spiritual about Him and other areas are discounted proving that they have a limited insight, even less than the Jewish faith! Yet they claim much, including the right to Palestine a Roman concept and Jerusalem, which is really the home of the Jewish Temple, where both the Anti-Christ and Jesus will be revealed.

Matthew 10:28, Mark 9:31, Luke 12:4, John 8:37-40, 2 Thessalonians 2:8, Revelation 6:8.

Lack of Preaching!

Fear?

Is it fear of the laws of the lands, or is it being lazy and hoping our gracious God will do it for us, as we lounge about hoping for that great revival to come?

Has prayer replaced preaching or is it seen as old fashioned and like many things in modern society old and not of any value?

God does not change, only we do and this has been foretold in the New Testament that people will grow cold, that truth is no excuse to stop, since many still want to hear and many will claim on the day of Judgement that they never heard.

John 3:3, 14-18, Romans 10:17, 1 Timothy 4:1-2, Hebrews 9:26, 10:10, Revelation 3:20.

Have house groups?

Killed the western Christian Churches!

Many believers have come to the conclusion that the onset of cell groups have ruined many congregations in the western Ekklesia, because they are an excuse for cliques’ and family related groups to control lost freedoms?

Many of these groups seem helpful in their outlook, but what they do is they kill the midweek prayer meeting and getting together for that oasis of fellowship.

In many other lands distances are an issue to travel and small groups probably work better, but we really should be able to combine the two and find that even the abandonment of the evening service is also something to be brought back to help the many who are struggling at work, home and other?

Matthew 25:1, Acts 1:14, 1 Corinthians 11:20, Ephesians 5:19.

The Ukraine?

No Peace!

As believers how do we deal with a world leader who refuses peace and is also provoking conflicts with other nation who are seeing through him and his mantra of lies to get a shopping list of weapons, that even his armed forces are failing to deploy in a proper manner, but rather waste on the battlefield?

Zelensky has rebuked many people who have suggested peace, this is nothing new David was rebuked by the peoples he lived with in hiding and it was a struggle for him!

Jesus tells us He did not come into our world to make peace, but with a Sword to cause division and to see who really loves Him more than our own loved ones?

Psalm 35:20, 120:7, Matthew 10:34-39.
