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.

Mark 16! Part-One.

The last twelve Verses?

Most believers do not see these technical sections of the scriptures, most denominational teaching cover them up for the lay Christian and since the Apostle Paul warned us about not getting into these arguments it is perhaps wise!

But as one grows and starts to preach and teach we learn some knowledge that can be troubling or debatable for those who like to question the context of the Holy Scriptures and the languages that they have been written in?

On reading these twelve verses, there is a different style to them from the rest of the Gospel of Mark and early Greek transcripts do not have them but that does not mean that they should not be there!

What they reveal is unbelief amongst the Disciples to Jesus rising from the dead and this is a understood state of mind, since most fled in fear from the garden when Jesus was arrested, even one in his birthday suit!

The others is of events that are related to the forty days that Jesus spent on the Earth in Israel between His resurrection and His Ascension!

Mark 16:8-20, Mark 14:52, John 20:15, 25, Acts 1:1-11, 1 Timothy 6:4, Titus 3:9.

Virtual Church?

Thinking outside the Box!

We take too much for granted in the western world when it comes to Christianity, we believe up to this point that we were safe in our established traditionalism? But a minute bug has ended our ability to fellowship to break bread and to gossip, if not pray together!

Now in quarantine we have the Internet, various mediums of communications through Android and Apple systems and yet no one has come up with a virtual Church app?

We have almost virtual everything else, so why not meeting together and facing the real challenges of daily life?

It is not really known how long these lockdowns and re-lockdowns will continue for? Some unwise people are chancing it and it may be to their hurt and suffering if not death! Hope in God now comes to play and so does that personal relationship that some of us like to talk about, but might not really have?

1 Chronicles 29:15, Job 4:6, 5:16, Psalm 25:5, 42:5, 71:14, 119:114, Matthew 18:20, Acts 24:15, 1 Corinthians 14:27, 29, 2 Corinthians 1:7, Colossians 2:17, Hebrews 10:1.

The old story and new Tech!

EASTER is not Cancelled?

Most Churches now have an internet connection of some kind from those lovely downloads to worship and so on, perhaps not all are that great after all and we need still in leadership and preaching to do our own things?

We will use the net to speak to loved one and friends so why not a link up from home to home to share in this live event?

The Easter story is a key even to our own personal salvation, many believers are now quarantined with family and many great opportunities have arisen to link service, talk, bible study and preaching altogether with worship!

We hope that this Easter will see loved ones and friends saved in light of this unknown plague and the sudden silence on a vaccine or cure being found with much prayer for the old and infirm that is required?

Matthew 18:20, John 3:3, 15-17, Acts 20:7, 11, Romans 3:21-31, 1 Corinthians 5:4, 10:16.

101 Years round Two!

1918 to the Present?

It takes great leadership skills to help people with this new virus and not arrogance or laughing it off as was seen in 1918 with the estimated death’s of over fifty-million people and that apart from World War-I (1914-18).

Ekklesia leadership is greatly required also at this time to get the message of hope in Jesus will lead to salvation and that there is an Eternity for all of wither it is Heaven or Hell!

It is so hard to know what is driving some politicians around the world, since many feel safe and come across as uncaring! We have much to deal with in these last days and being to comfortable may not be such a good option in the work that we have to do?

Many have already turned back to the world and they are ineffective, so we must avoid them and not let their bad influences draw us away from Jesus our Saviour and Redeemer?

Psalm 91:5, Matthew 8:76, Luke 8:24, 2 Corinthians 7:13, James 1:14.
