The interpretation of Words!

Woke and revisionism in the Hebrew and Greek Text Translated?

This is as much a danger if not more so than that of replacement theology, which has racked Ekklesia for over 400 years in the Protestant reformation from Europe to America and much further afield in the 19th Century?

What we accept as to be firm or solid is now being interpreted in an alternative way and this is basically to justify homosexuality and transgender and to make out that what God said was misunderstood by the times, forgetting our own times too!

It is a tough area to deal with since many who profess a faith are now open to these false teachings, because of the fear of man, the laws of the land, comforts and not wanting to be persecuted, which eventually because of indifference will come to them anyway?

Luke 10:29-37, John 5:47, 1 Corinthians 1:17, 2 Timothy 3:10-16.

Hate and Hatred!

Terminology that Woke avoids Using?

We live in worsening times, were reality is being replaced with words that refuse to explain the motives of evil people and this is now being employed by some media outlets to cover up why Islamic terrorism is becoming more active in Germany and the U.S.!

But despite this we as believers need to be aware that Islam is not what it claims to be, but rather that of forced conversions or decapitation and the way it sees the world, if from only its point of view?

How do we deal with this rise of hate and hatred is to explain what sin and jealousy is to a dying world, and to do it is a loving way that is factual and true that will convict hearts and minds in love and what we will see is the hypocrisy of the woke movement coming to the fore!

Matthew 24:10, Luke 6:22, John 7:7, 15:18, Romans 3:22-23, Hebrews 4:12-13, 9:26-27.

A Happy New Year and the Lords Blessings!

Our need of Salvation?

The Christmas Message!

For our lost world, both physically and Spiritually, for some of us this is the season of ekklesia unity and family, for others ministering it is the poor, the food banks, the lonely and the older folks?

We may all still like to send cards, give presents and celebrate with tradition thrown in, but the world has commercialized the season to cancel the message that Jesus, the God-Man came into our world two thousand years ago to save sinners and bring salvation to all who would have faith in Him!

We are entrusted with a message that remains today as fresh as it did them and our time is running out as the night of the apocalyptic era is approaching!!

Acts 13:23, 32-33, Psalm 2:7, 132:11, Hebrews 9:25-28, 10:10.

Papal Interference!

With the Lords Prayer.

Traditionally we read, ‘Lead us not into temptation, but the Pope has changed the word lead to let us not fall into temptation!

It may be a small matter for many, but it is just another subtle change that take away an emphasis of being lead to falling into based on the intention or the accident of sin.

The Apostle Paul said, ‘That He did not what he wanted to do, because sin took him over?

He may have struggled with arousal as most of us do, even when we don’t want to, we may look at another, but this is the sin in our human nature and is not of the Holy Spirit within us!

Matthew 6:13, Luke 11:4, Romans 7:15-25.

Original Confidence!

Staying the Course?

Not all who come to faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus stay the course, fear of man, tiredness, trials cost and burn out many that is why Jesus told us about the sower and the seeds in His Gospel parables!

But if we fail, we should repent and seek our Lords forgiveness, since our destiny is not a good destination and there is no return after death?

God wants us to be both wise and honest and press on knowing in whom we have believed and that He will never fail or leave us and we will make it home, one day to be with Him for evermore!

Proverbs 13:11-14, Malachi 4:1, Hebrews 3:12-15, Revelation 17:7.

The out working of Sin!

Cain had a choice and so do we?

Jealousy set in to the heart of Cain against his brother Abel and it continues to this day, between nations and individuals even many who profess to know God, they allow their hearts to be darkened!

God warned Cain he had a choice and he went with Satan to oppose God and to kill, this past few days the former U.S. President nearly became a legacy for the United States when Mr, Crook was 2-inches form killing him?

Jesus is the answer, if we keep Him as the focus or source point of our lives and not choose to wander off is some false idea, doctrine, teaching or a;;ow anger to take control of us!

Genesis 4:6-7, Proverbs 14:29, John 3:3, 14-21, Romans 3:23, 6:23, 2 Corinthians 12:20, 1 Timothy 2:8, Hebrews 11:27, James 1:19-20.

Prophecy?

Preaching to warn Ekklesia!

Not all always seems to be right in many fellowships when it comes to the services, the lack of preaching the Gospel message for over worship is one area that is lacking the influence of honesty and integrity in society?

The fervent preaching where it is done can become more of the man, rather that God and the balance is lost on the truth, and placed on personality?

We need to focus on the fact that it is the Lord that is leading us and not us leading ourselves?

2 Samuel 23:2, 2 Peter 1:20-21, 2:1-3.

Easy and Hard?

Ways!

There are two ways to go in life so the Holy Bible tells us, the easy way to Hell and the narrow way to God!

Most people follow the broad way, even many who have made a confession, soon become inactive in fellowship and a bad example to many others?

But we are of the hard way, that costs and will hurt since we are sharing in some of the sufferings of our lord and our way is narrow and winding, but we are going up and not down even though it may feel that way at times!

Many are called few are chosen, those saved from much will do much, those from less, less will be done.

Psalm 16:11, Matthew 7:13-14, 18:8, Luke 13:24, John 14:6.

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.

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!
