Origins! Part-One.

Adam and Eve?

The beginning of all of our problems and the origin of inherited sin or mental attitude failure!

This is a bit more suggestive in its context than first might meet the eye and it is over looked by most who read the few verses, but there is much here to be considered?

God gave clear instructions to Adam and Eve not to eat fruit from this particular tree, but God gave this first couple free will and when Satan seduced Eve by telling her a half truth, she doubted and broke the rules!

Today many who profess a belief in God and claim to be born again or who have converted from another faith, do the same thing, they allow themselves to be more deluded by the enemy and they doubt and break the rules?

Genesis 2:7-8, 15-18, 21-24, 3:1-5, John 12:26, 2 Corinthians 6:6-7, 11:3, Ephesians 6:5, 1 Peter 2:21, 2 Peter 2:15.

The nation of Israel?

And the Holy Bible!

There are many Calvinists who refuse to identify the modern state of Israel as being that of the restored Israel of the Bible, because they are accepting replacement theology that tells them lies in relation to the establishment of the Kingdom, it also misguides them on the many relevant scriptures in the New Testament that speak of a true Jew and of the nation!

With the misunderstanding also comes anti-Semitism dressed up as denial even of the Holocaust and the idea that the Gentiles have replaced Israel instead of being grafted to the vine but never to the root?

If we really want to understand the fullness of the Book of Revelation we must be open to the fact, that after the anti-Christ is removed by Jesus, Israel will be saved! We cannot go back on the promises He made to His own chosen race, that are now blinded for the gentiles to come in and join the commonwealth of Israel!

In the light of Holocaust memorial day on the 27th January, many are refusing to mark it but would rather support the Palestinian cause, which to all Jews is proof of their hatred!

Matthew Chapters 24, Romans 7-9, The Books of Hebrews, James, Jude and Revelation.

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!

CHRISTMAS!

The Virgin Birth of Jesus?

The most disputed passage in the Holy Bible by a lost world, that refuses to believe in the impossible of God the creator and they are determined to undermine the truth for some sordid version of their own corrupted minds!

Many in western society today dismiss the account as another fairy story or a cover up for the above mentioned, without being able to accept the truth of a loving God, who gave to us His one and only son, so that by faith in Him we might be saved?

Ekklesia has had a problem, since the introduction of the Christmas tree and today the manger is covered up by gnomes and tat and many refuse to speak up for the fear of being attacked, but they expect they will be covered by the sufferings of others in other lands?

Isaiah 7:14, 9:6-7, Matthew 1:20, Luke 1:68-72, John 1:1-5, 3:3, 14-21, Hebrews 9:25-28.

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.

‘Our Conduct!

What is expected of Us?

It is so easy to say we are all sinners, and this means that God will forgive us if we deliberately sin!

But this is not correct, because we have allowed evil to dominate us and not trust in God, The Holy Bible gives to us all that we need to keep walking and following our Lord and now that the Christmas and New Year is upon us, we need to be seen.

Romans 12:17-21, Hebrews 13:4-5.

The message of Jesus birth is simple and we need to get it out into a more and more commercial world that is replacing truth with lies, so that we will see souls saved?

Luke 1:47, 2:11, John 1:1-5, Acts 5:31, 13:23.

Ebenezer (Even-Ezer).

The Lord has helped Us!

Israel at this time saw that God was with them and He was their really only help?

Today many Churches choose the name to symbolize what God is doing for us as believers and not as some believe the fellowship of the brothers alone!

We should all know that God is good and He is always looking out for us as we walk with Him, but when we take our eyes off, we head straight for the darkness of sin and possibly destruction if we refuse to repent and come back to the narrow way?

Israel did the same, after the time of the Judges, they wanted a King and God gave them a loser Saul son of Kish.

1 Samuel 7:11-12, 17:37, Psalm 98:1, 116:12, Romans 8:37, 2 Corinthians 1:10, 2 Thessalonians 3:1.

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.

HELL!

The refusal to warn people about Hell?

This is becoming a new thing in western woke society to avoid upsetting others, with the connotation of archaic words and causing offence, when truth is being replaced with lies and the Ekklesia refuses to take responsibility or recognize in fear of being persecuted?

But Hell is real for wicked and unbelievers, it is also for those who rebel within being saved or who deluded by wrong teaching and wonder off into ungodly things, which we looked at last time with the Pitfalls of the faith!

Hell is real because Jesus said so and we are warned that what we term now as a God of Love will do this to the above mentioned

Matthew 5:29-30, 10:28, Mark 9:48, Luke 16:23, 25, 2 Thessalonians 1:9, 2 Peter 2:4.

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.
