Living in dire Times?

Our rights and our Ignorance!

Wherever we live in this world taking some simple advice in relation to this medical situation and Pandemic would be wise?

But we humans at the best of times live in rebellion to God and many believers too have the arrogant attitude that they can deal with things on their own, even when the best advice is given to us!

This situation that we are in is not going away as some unwise leaders believe, this is because of going on as we are will only spread the virus and eventually with its mutations children will start dying since so far it has not discriminated who it kills?

Believers need to remain focused in doing what is right and obeying the leadership of wise medical staff in relation to social distancing and wearing face coverings, other wise many more people will die in the second and third waves of this COVID-19 pandemic!

Geneses 41:33, Job 11:6, Psalm 51:6, Isaiah 47:10, Luke 7:35, Ephesians 2:2-3, Philippians 2:2-3, James 3:14, 2 Peter 3:15.

Terror-ism!

Freedom fighters today, politicians Tomorrow?

King David was described by the society of his day as a baga bond, who was followed by criminals and yet he became Israel’s greatest King, up to the revelation of Jesus the Messiah!

Many world leaders were once terrorist come good, but one has to wonder about the accountability of Yassa Arafat, Martin Mcguiness and many others in relation to their past activities that lead to the murder of civilians?

The concept of this type of war is to frighten the unsuspecting and to maintain that fear into eventual submission, but it does not always work depending on the targeting of military/police or economic assets!

Governments only start to talk when its costing them big time and this was proved by the IRA and their targeting of London’s financial hub, but today we are dealing with religious fanaticism over events in the Middle-East, Libya, Israel, Palestine, Syria and Afghanistan?

Job 18:11, Isaiah 24:17, 31:9, Jeremiah 8:15, Luke 12:5. 1 John 4:18.

#blm! Part-One.

Do Black lives really Matter?

White society has a recent problem with European slavery from Africa to the Caribbean and the Americas from 1618 to 1880 and its is a subject that even Christians try at their best to avoid or excuse instead of facing up to it and dealing with racism today in both N-America, the U.K., France and Australia!

But when we read and study the Holy Bible slavery was a common practice amongst all nations of the ancient world and God was always looking out for those poor people and their dire situations?

Another thing about slavery is that it remains rife even today within Islamic culture and several other races, we term it domestic servitude, county-lines, prostitution, trafficking and the exploitation of the vulnerable!

Attitude plays the most important part in racism and Christians are not exempt, if more prone to hold such views which seriously contradict John 3:16? This one verse is more controversial because it has become an excuse to deny salvation to some, of white peoples choosing depending where in the world they are?

Matthew 10:22, Romans 11:26, 1 Corinthians 10:33, 2 Thessalonians 2:10, Jude 1:5, Revelation 18:13.

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.

Christian Martyrdom!

Being a Christian?

We would never consider that believers in Europe, Australia or N-America could be martyred for their faith in Jesus and that only happens in Africa, Asia or the Middle-East?

That has been the traditional view now for some two hundred years or so, but it is changing and not with the obvious threat of terrorism but more closer to home with the ideals of unbelief and secular humanism?

Nations are now being pressured by image, by feelings and what is expected of us in not offending anybody except those who hold to the Christian faith! The reason being that the Holy Bible always proves true in the falseness of human idealism and it selfishness to oppose the truth?

We do not think that their are many believers today, who live in comfort would consider making a stance for Jesus? But there are equally many inner city believers who suffer more so for faith in Jesus and some may be murdered for a plethora of reasons that either the state and the police refuse to accept as Martyrdom!

Job 2:10,  Psalm 43:2,  107:39,   Philippians 1:29,   2 Thessalonians 1:5-6,   2 Timothy 1:8, 4:5,  Hebrews 13:3,   James 5:10,   1 Peter 2:19-20,   2 Peter 2:13,   Revelation 18:15.

Anti-Semitism and Revisionism!

Holocaust Denial?

Many professing Christians are anti-Semitic in their attitude as much as their doctrine, replacement theology or not! The problem is jealousy and taking their focus of who Jesus is, rather than He being the King and Messiah of Israel?

The other issue is that of His redemptive work and prophecy, since without His dead on the stake/tree/cross we cannot be saved from our sins! The Jews were in the will of God in what they did, because it had to happen that way and Rome was blackmailed to do their will!

Today millions are dying without accepting Jesus, millions refuse to accept the fate of the Jewish people because of what Israel is doing in ‘Palestine? Yet this promised land belongs to Israel and they are still doing Gods will!

We can either reject the Holy scriptures or accept them and stop being racist in our attitudes to changing history to suit our perspectives?

Psalm 7:9-11,   Matthew 22:14,   Romans 3:21-31,   11:17,   Hebrews 4:12,  10:10-17.

Martyrdom?

The ultimate cost of faith in Jesus!

There will not be many in western society who will die this season for their faith in God, but in the rest of the world this is a daily occurrence?

Many convert from Islam in the west do face being murdered by their families, but the media has been told not to report this since they want to portray Islam as a religion of peace and staying on good terms with Arab friends!

Stephen was the first Christian Martyr, he was a man who was killed by others who knew the truth but refused to believe or repent, since they were comfortable in their religion! This is the same today with the world they are blinded by fear and stupefied by what they think is enough?

Acts 6:5-7:59,    8:1,    11:19,   22:10,   Romans 1:32,   2 Timothy 3:16,   Revelation 17:6.

The Incarnation!

A double Miracle.

This is another difficult area for many Christians the activity of God in the conception and birth into human flesh of His son Jesus.

We see the Holy Spirit being employed here in two powerful miracle of the divine, first that of the conception of a seed being placed in Mary’s womb and then the birthing and healing of that womb so that May did not loose her virginity to her husband Joseph!

Many people cannot fathom some of the language of the Churches, because for the lay person its is deliberately hidden as a mystery!

One has to wonder about the hypocrisy of Churches that deceive believers into thinking that men who do not marry, will know much about anything to do with woman or even care?

The veneration of Mary again can be misconstrued in that the Magnificat has been abandoned by most Protestants since the reformation to their loss?

Matthew 1:18,   Luke 1:35,   44,   46-55,   Genesis 28:14.  

 

The watering down of the Truth!

Guy Fawkes now anti-Catholic?

Over the years things have been getting worse for Christians on the mainland -GB, with the watering down of the Gospel, witnessing at work and the introduction of denial doctrines to counter act the truth of the Bible!

Many Anglican Church leaders know refuse to acknowledge the reformation of 433 years ago and are sticking to their Roman Catholic or Celtic roots 4th Century foundation? The Protestant reformation is seen as anti-Catholic and yet they are the same to deny that under Queen Mary-1 over fifty-five thousand Christians were martyred in her short reign by the orders of the Papacy!

Another issue is the denial of historical facts and the many freedoms the media has with the press today, come from the Protestant Puritans fight? What we can say today, remains a issue in many Catholic nations as unspoken except in private!

One hope that the Guy, the English traitor is burned this November the 5th and that children are taught some historical facts that need to be reinforced in a right way in our Churches and schools today!

John 3:21,    4:24,    Acts 10:34,   Romans 2:2,    2 Corinthians 13:8,    Galatians 4:16,    2 Timothy 2:25.

HELL?

Who will be There?

The Holy Bible says all who have refused to believe and wicked cruel people! But that definition of sinners has changed today, because not all sin is sin, like loving children and same sex relationships?

Society and some elements of the Church have accepted sin on this one level, which does now justify the right to kill, steal, lie, be dishonest and disobey God! But this is not Gods way and we will have to give an account of our actions in this life!

Hope in God being fair is not good enough, because He has no favorites and what He says remains because we are believers we know that He does not change. There is a separation from God and it is well listed wither some leaders believe it or not in the Bible that not everyone is going to be in heaven!

Darkness, fires, unquenchable pain and all mentioned along with the bottomless pit and the torment of the Devil for Eternity! We cannot afford as leaders, evangelists and Pastors to ignore these facts and lead others in to a false sense of security when this is the reality of all who will be lost!

Deuteronomy 32:22,   Psalm 55:15,   Proverbs 27:20,   Isaiah 28:15,   Ezekiel 31:16,  Matthew 23:33,   Mark 9:43-48,   Luke 16:22-23,   1 Corinthians 6:9-10,   Ephesians 6:16,   2 Peter 2:4,   Revelation 1:18,    21:8,   22:15.
