Immigration Issues!

Effecting Europe and the United States?

People and governments want people to leave, because they fear a spike in crime, but in the U.K. most of the crime is committed by West-Indians and Nigerians and not those who are seeking their right to ask for asylum, a right promised from the days of empire!

In the U.S. it has more to do with illegals over staying and the problems with narcotics coming in from S-America, that needs to be curtailed and it is being hit, but this is only for show the real numbers is staggering and many white Americans are well known to be involved?

In the Gospel of Luke we have three accounts in relations to foreigners doing the right things, when religious Jews turned a blind eye, it proves that we cannot paint all the people with the same brush and we cannot judge the unmarried or those who are seriously ill with Aids and other dangerous infection!

Luke 10:25-33. 17:16-18, John 4:9, Romans 12:2, Hebrews 7:25.

Zechariah’s Prophecy! Part-One.

Luke 1:67-79.

We tend to over look this New Testament Prophecy, perhaps because it points to the Jewish race and to that of John, who would make a way for Jesus the Messiah to come!

But in these few verses is some invaluable lessons as to the events that were taking place in Jerusalem two thousand years ago and continue to this day in the form of anti-Semitism and even in Ekklesia by many who fail to understand what the Holy Bible is saying?

These human reactions prove that some who profess a faith, are not what they say they are, while others have been mislead into false or not fully understood teachings! Verses 69-71 sum up the connection of events past and present in the day of Jesus appearing and His role in redeeming the nation and all who believe in Him?

But those he came for rejected Him as much as many continue to so today!

Psalm 18:2-3, 132:17-18, Luke 1:32-33, Romans 9:4-5.

Rainbow Diversity!

The eventual acceptance of Paedophilia?

The Church at this time is much different than it ever has been and is now open to many sexual preferences and yet doctrinally it remains stuck over the role of woman and many other areas?

One might be surprised that one should take on this subject and may feel hurt by the claims, but for the last sixty years many political groups within mainstream politics in the United Kingdom have tried to change the law in relation to paedophilia! Not as one would expect against it but for it, because many who practice what is now considered illegal will one day like same-sex relationships become acceptable?

Paedophilia is the last taboo in the Rainbow diversity challenge to sexuality, currently the new or great debate is on same Trans-gender facilities and there is much conflict over the matter of woman being molested by men,  such as the issues with Harvey Winestien?

The doctrine of love has been the excuse for a long time in relation to these matters, but the whole concept of sexual deviance runs completely contrary to what God has to say in the Holy Bible and it would appear there is an open rebellion of apostacy now facing Christianity that is in conflict!

Matthew 18:6,   Mark 9:42,   Luke 17:1-2.

Luke 17:28-29,   Romans 1:24,  26-27,  9:29,   1 Corinthians 6:9-10,  Ephesians 5:5,  1 Timothy 1:10,   Jude 1:7,   Revelation 21:8,   2:15.

Genesis 19:4-13,  Leviticus 18:22,   20:13,  Deuteronomy 23:17-18,   Judges 19:22,   1 Kings 14:24,  15:12,   2 Kings 23:7.

 

By faith Alone?

The conundrum of the Reformation!

Martin Luther added in the word alone to the translation of the Holy Bible to German and English to emphasise his point in relation that only faith saves!

But the original Greek manuscripts never had the word alone, since faith was already known as the key to knowing God!

The problems for Martin Luther like or loath him was he had ninety six issues with the Roman Catholic Church, which he questioned and then had no choice but to break away from?

Faith in itself encompasses much, but the Latin translation from the Greek may have deliberately blocked this truth off, so that made the Pope infallible as the leader of the Universal Church.

Today occasionally if not commonly many new words are being added to the Bible to get a clearer meaning, one must be careful to not go beyond what is being said? Because some of this can be used to change the meanings and justify sin, since we remain fickle in our nature!

Romans 1:17,   3:28,   5:1-2,   Galatians 3:11,   Philippians 3:9,   Hebrews 11:6-7.

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.
