Easter. Two.

The Resurrection!

Jesus in not dead like the heads of other religions past and present, He is alive with His Father in Heaven awaiting that great day of His return, when those who refused to believe in Him will see Him and hide!

The rising if Jesus from the grave is the essential factor for our salvation plan, since we rise with Him in believers baptism to the promised eternal life!

Jesus always hinted to His disciples the way that he was going to die and be raised on the third day!

Jesus spent forty days on earth appearing to over five hundred people, apart from His disciples and then in the Ascension he return t heaven?

In the resurrection we are freed from the curse of the law and we are free from the sting of death!

Mark 8:31, 9:30-31, Acts 2:31-33, Romans 6:5-11.

The Interactive 2021.

Now we know that it is like to be a believer in a closed Nation?

Still many leaders are clinging to Church ideals that were established four hundred years ago, but this pandemic is proving that we have to change with the technology and the internet the Ekklesia is becoming more of an individual experience!

Meeting together in the years to come, may only be for limited reasons, the breaking of bread, baptism, marriages, child dedications and funerals?

This has been coming for some time, but traditionalism has ruled the day, the house Church movement was perhaps the first, while many Christian organizations are now online with devotional and daily readings, videos and other!

Matthew 18:20, John 4:23-24, Acts 2:42, 46, Hebrews 10:25, 1 John 4:6.

Scourge of Protestantism!

Replacement Theology?

If we were to take away this problem and see that what is written in the Holy Bible as one complete revelation for both the believing Jews and Gentiles we would not be divided as we are and there would be more opportunity for understanding each other!

Much confusion is based more son in the New Testament, because many believers miss the point or add in things that were never there?

Much of what the Disciples and Apostles are speaking about is plainly Jewish from their culture and religious experience and yet this rejection with the introduction of blessings and curses from the anti-Semitism of the German Lutheran reformation remains divisional to this day!

One believes that despite the many great Christian leaders of the Ekklesia and since the reformation, the ground work for the falling away of the elect has been a constant revelation with the Church!

Matthew/Levi 24:22-31, Mark 1:1-9 (8), Romans 15:6-13.

Believers Baptism?

A tough area of Contention!

Should a Born-Again believer be baptised or not?

Is it important to be baptised and do we have too be?

These and many more complex questions have been debated in Ekklesia over the last two-thousand years, and even today there is no clear understanding that is acceptable to all sides!

Many of the early Churches from three-hundred Ad to the time of the German Reformation of Martin Luther went with child baptism, since it was easier and pleased most? The Church from that time kept an exclusiveness on the Scriptures, through the clergy and the common man had to take the word or control as it was distributed with local superstitions and curses?

The most tremendous fact about baptism is that of the thief on the cross who entered heaven, without being baptised! This perhaps is the best clarification on the matter that are faith is on Jesus and focussed on how we are lead by Him and will follow Him doing, loving, caring and showing concern, while witnessing His truth to the dying world around us!

Luke 23:43. Romans 5:21, 1 Timothy 1:15, Hebrews 7:25, Revelation 2:7.
