Jesus’ Return! Two.

The falling Away?

There are many different ideas in relation to the interpretation of the book of Revelation and much of it has to do with the influences of replacement theology, if believers would see Israel’s role in this then perhaps we would have some clarity?

But this will not happen with these influences and so we can only gain a limited picture of some of the essential truths, such as the great falling away of believers from the truth!

We are living in these times now, where the doctrine of love has been manipulated to run contradictory to the word of God! It is justifying lust, sexual immorality, dishonesty and the breakdown of the family!

It has been a gradual process taking place in the western-Church over the last one-hundred and fifty years, but what has come to the fore in the last seventy years is the growing hostility based on mans ideas of equality in relation to Israel.

Jeremiah 2:13,   2 Thessalonians 2:3,  1 Corinthians 6:9,  1 Timothy 4:1-3,   2 Timothy 3:1-3,   4:3-4.  John 17:12, 

ISRAEL? One.

Biblical and Historical!

It would seem today the state of Israel is not the true restoration of the nation of the Hebrew peoples, because they are not living in a Holy way and not at peace with their neighbours, the Palestinians?

But no other ‘Christian nation is purely Christian in either ethic or morally, so now we come to a dilemma that we are all sinners or just some? One is using this view to draw out the hypocrisy of anti-0Semitism that has been in the Christian Church since at least the second century AD!

We cannot have it both ways, or use excuses when failing to recognise that the Jews are blinded by God so that the Gentiles might be added to the Kingdom of God! There are also many other aspects in relation to the peoples of the land and deals struck long ago, but this was not with the Philistines!

What can be said is why the so called Palestinians living under the Ottomans never developed the land to the standards of what Israel is today or was one-hundred years ago?

Ezekiel 28:25-26,   Joshua 9:6-16,   Matthew 9:13,   Mark 2:17,   Romans 11:2,   11-24, Galatians 2:17,   James 4:8.

Philip and the Ethiopian! Two.

Simple Faith, Sometimes?

There are many who claim that even a child can come to know God with simple faith, but this is not possible here because something is missing?

Bias is a terrible sin, we cannot know another’s heart that is the realm of the Almighty? But there are too many today who rush to pass judgement on others because they fail not in the same way as the Judges!

There is a place to test the believer to see if they are really walking with Jesus as they claim and if not it is our responsibility to help them?

We do need to examine ourselves in relation to both Anti-Semitism and racism in the Ekklesia, along with many other issues such as disability! We need also to be ready to encourage and help each other with our issues?

Matthew 7:1-6,   Acts 8:37-39,   James 2:1-13.

Jesus’ Return? Part-One.

When and Where!

Over the last two-thousand years their has been much speculation and false predictions in relation to the return of Jesus? One has to wonder why do some Christians continue to go against the world of God in relation to the matter, that Jesus said only the father knows all this?

Wither it is replacement theology, modernism or down right Anti-Semitism, it has become a blinder to the whole truth in relation to the Church and Israel! What many believers do not understand is that they are being drip-fed Reformation theological crap, which is not actually in the bible!

Israel and the Church are one in Christos/Messiah, but they are two, when it comes to the bible! This is because the false-Messiah has to come to the Jews in Jerusalem, Israel before the Lords return and that will be to the New Temple!

So now all the rubbish about a two-state solution and the rights of the Philistines to a homeland does not fit the picture of reality, because these beliefs are false and are from the worlds prospective?

Job 15:34,   Psalm 98:9,    Isaiah 13:9,   Daniel 9:27,  12:11,   Zephaniah 1:15,   2 Thessalonians 2:3-14,  Revelation 20:4-7.

Philip and the Ethiopian! One.

Controversial Doctrine?

Both Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch are under estimated in the Christian experience, many believing today that this account in the scriptures was never really there?

But this is not true from the point that God was bringing the death and resurrection of Jesus to the Jews in the Horn of Africa! It also shows us the little talked about ministry of Philip who knew that Jesus was the long awaited Messiah of Israel.

The problem with the Ethiopian conversion is that it does not fit the historical reformation doctrines of how sinners are saved, believing in a certain process for that salvation which today has become a mantra in evangelical circles as sometimes the only way?

Faith is not based on a set or process of doctrines, but rather on the power of God to change our hearts, to no longer be hostile to Him. The other reason for the avoidance of dealing with this area is the old one of white racism to black people, and in some cases that not all black Christians are really born-again?

John 1:45,  3:3,  5,  15-21,  31-36,  Acts 8:26-39 , Romans 3:22-23,  6:22-23.

Carnivals?

Notting Hill, Reading, Glastonbury!

The justification of sin or just having a good time?

Cultures are different, something that should be considered by all believers in the statement made by the Gospel of John’ For God so loved the World! Controversial  because it addresses humanities failure on race and so to Ekklesia that carries the un-repented problem of being in the community of all the same?

We can claim that next weekend will see a rise in crime in W-London with the annual west-Indian/Caribbean street party and much will be reported and addressed in relation to all the negatives of it?

But neither Glastonbury or Reading will receive the same fare reporting of its drug abuse and violent cultures and this is because it will be majority white and civilised over that of black and dark skinned?

Genesis 6:5,  1 Kings 8:39,   Job 21:27,   Psalm 7:9,  19:14,  139:2,   Isaiah 55:8,   Jeremiah 11:20,   Amos 4:13,   Luke 2:35,   Acts 1:24,   Philippians 2:2,  Hebrews 4:12.

BREXIT? Staying in Europe!

A lying Government?

Britain is in a disaster over the lies about Brexit and how our politicians are now manipulating us to fulfil their own ego’s! This is the current fact that nothing is going to change and why?

Because all of them have been bought out by the wealth of the European Union and NATO, recently the U.S. President advised our PM on how to leave the E.U.! But she revealed she had no intention of leaving and would continue to cover up and fool the people of this nation with false promises!

One reason may be that we have no choice anymore in relation to voting and its better to just stay in and push on with the post-World War II vision for European peace?

1 Samuel 25:6,   Isaiah 33:7,   39:8,   45:7,   57:21,   Jeremiah 8:11,   John 14:27-28,   Acts 9:31,   Romans 3:17.

Public blindness to Suffering? Part-Two.

Immigration Issues!

Many people do not want foreigners in their lands anymore!

But the question is who is going to do the dirty work?

Most of our young people today want to be designers, do photo-journalism, work in an office, banking? But none want to wash floors, clean toilets or be involved in cleaning old peoples bottoms, they would rather stay on the social benefits?

We cannot do without foreign people, nursing, cafés, restaurants, hotels need people who can do the jobs within a required time slot! Farmers need Eastern-Europeans to pick fruit and vegetables and Asians to work in the curry houses!

Ruth 2:10,  Matthew 17:25,  1 Corinthians 14:21,  Ephesians 2:10,  1 Timothy 5:10.

How we do outreach/reach out?

Lack of Witness!

There is a serious decline today in preaching and teaching the biblical message to the lost in society, their seems to have been a change were the Church is now more aligned with the world than it is with God and the Holy Bible?

Perhaps the main cause for this change is the fear of persecution or having to give up the panelled homes of the clergy who life the life of Riley at the cost of their faith!

But many believers continue to share their faith with others, even not compromising on homosexuality but warning of the consequences of unrepentance and change that is required by God when entering into the New Life!

Out-reach-out remains one of the most important forms of witness for believers and Gods Ekklesia, it reveals to the community who and what we are and how we should care for the people around us instead of ourselves and hoping that God-Jesus will do the hard work for us?

Matthew 3:3,  7:2,  18:14,  Luke 7:22,   John 14:6,   Acts 9:31,   Romans 1:17,   1 Corinthians 12:2,   Ephesians 2:20,   Colossians 4:5.

 

Public blindness to Suffering. One.

The need to cut foreign Aid?

This is the common request today from the British public, but it is also the same in the U.S. and many other places! What many ordinary folk fail to realise or understand is that the British Empire that once was still has many links to its former colonies, who are British citizens?

But it is well known for some years now that most people are both blind, cold and indifferent to the suffering and homelessness around them and sadly are the so many self-opinionated Christians who as the Bible warns us don’t care anymore?

Despite there being much Christian outlook, it has come under government control and so spaces are now limited to do the right work that once was done by Christian charity?

Food banks help, homeless hostels are too few, wealth and donations are not enough, action has to be taken to help those in need, while also seeking to win them to Jesus, so that their new attitude will give all hope?

Isaiah 63:9.   1 Thessalonians 2:7,   Hebrews 12:2,   1 Peter 5:2.
