God created man in His own image and with His own likeness and set the first man, Adam, in the Garden of Eden to work it and keep it. But Adam sinned by disobeying God, and because we are all his children, we have all inherited his sinful nature, even from the time our mothers conceived us. The “wages” of sin is death, and so death entered the world and spread to all mankind because all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Thus, we are all justly deserving of everlasting punishment—the destruction of body and soul in hell. But even so, in His love, God already had a plan to save and redeem us.
God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die for us, paying the debt for our sins, so that through Him we may be saved. Unlike us, Jesus was conceived in the womb of a virgin by the Holy Spirit of God and therefore did not share Adam’s sinful nature. A “spotless lamb” in which there was no sin, the perfect and only sacrifice worthy of taking our place. For by the one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the one man’s obedience many will be made righteous.
Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, was crucified and died for our sins, taking upon Himself the punishment we deserve. He was then buried and raised back to life on the third day, in accordance with the scriptures. He then appeared to more than five hundred individuals in the forty days post-resurrection before being taken up into heaven out of their sight and returning to His Father. Fulfilling every one of the many Old Testament prophecies pertaining to Him. He now sits at His Father’s right hand and is awaiting His Father’s instruction to return. This was all recorded in the scriptures contained in the Holy Bible, which is the word of God and is able to save our souls.
Jesus Christ promised that all who believe in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace and not by any merit of our own. Upon His return, all the dead will hear His voice and come to life—those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and later, those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment. Therefore, fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgement, with every secret thing, whether good or evil. Making sure to be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving ourselves.
Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your heart in rebellion. Whoever conceals his sins will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy and forgiveness. If you repent and believe in the gospel, putting your faith in Jesus Christ, you will inherit salvation, which leads to everlasting life. With this salvation comes a necessary spiritual rebirth; God will give you a new heart and His Holy Spirit, which will give you wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, put His Laws on your heart and mind, guide you into all the truth, help you, and comfort you. By the blood of Jesus, sanctifying you and cleansing you of all unrighteousness—conforming you to His image.
In an act of faith, all believers are called to be baptised in water in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. To be buried with Christ by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, you also might walk in newness of life. Having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which He has called you, what are the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of His power towards those who believe. To be called children of God and to dwell with Him for all eternity.
We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the present darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. The devil, who is called Satan, and all his angels, which are also referred to as demons, have been cast out of heaven for their choice to sin and rebel against God. They are our greatest threat in this world, even though at times it may seem like it’s each other. Satan is the spirit that is now at work in all those who are living in disobedience to God. We must be very careful about what we believe, verifying everything against God’s word, for many false prophets and teachers have gone out into the world and are among us like wolves in sheep's clothing, even within churches. But fear not, for God is greater and with us always.
We now await our blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ. He is coming soon with eyes like a flame of fire and all His angels with Him, and every eye will see Him. But concerning that day and hour, no one knows—not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. Therefore, those of us who are eagerly awaiting His appearance must be diligent to be found by Him without spot or blemish and at peace. Counting the patience of the Lord as salvation. There are some things in the scriptures that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction. Take care that you are not carried away by the errors of lawless people and fall from your own steadfastness. But grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
It wasn't really a rant. Just valid questions and skepticism. I didn't call anyone names or get in my feelings. The beginning of your response indicates it is you who is now insecure and in your feelings.
You argument depends on claiming the jews today are fake jews. I am on board with that, but realize not everyone is going to believe that jews today are just khazarian frauds. I think even guys like David Duke came to terms that the khazarian theory is false.
In many ways, many are. But I am not the one who slanders them with this. Modern day jews in israel claim this. The very jews who Christians want to defend and die for.
Yet most Christians today fully support israel and these fake Khazarian Jews. You argument does not represent mainstream Christianity, most denominations or most self-proclaimed Christians at large.
There are so many contradicting claims about who the real Jews are or who descended from which tribes. When studying the bible i downloaded a bunch of family trees and bible study ancestry charts and charts showing the tribes and so many of them are different in either slight or major ways. This is a very difficult subject to study and there are lots of vested interests in who gets Esau's inheritance or who is Edom or not or who the chosen or unchosen people are according to this old book. It's probably one of the most confusing subjects to research in bible study for retards like me.
That was during the resurrection in which only a few claimed to have seen him. During his lifetime he only preached to Jews, said salvation is of the jews, and even told a Canaanite woman to go away and that the preaching was not for her. He said do not cast pearls before swine, which may have also been a racially slanderous term for non-jews. He called the Canaanite woman a "dog" which is a racial slur.
Sacrificed himself to himself to forgive me? If forgiveness was His to give, then a sacrifice from him to him was unnecessary. Blood sacrifices are attributed to paganism and false gods (demons). Why would the all righteous all powerful true living God require petty blood sacrifices like shitty Mayan and Aztec gods?
And how will self-proclaimed Christians fare in that wrath after a century of supporting the evil devil worshipers in Israel?
Are you sure about that? They have control of institutions, governments, banks, militaries. They have higher birthrate than your Christians do. Israel has secure national borders, you don't. Jews have wealth, luxuries, power, control and influence. Christians seem to want what the Jew has.
Only if you claim that Jews are fake jews and white Caucasians and arabs are real jews. You have to take very controversial arguments about the genealogy which the majority of Christians will argue against you about. That's if I am understanding you correctly. You could just mean that Abraham is the common ancestor for all the various races and nations today.
Sounds like inbreeding.
I still believe you should worship my strong muscular blue eyed victorious white viking God who chooses white Caucasians as His chosen people and doesn't sacrifice himself to screeding kvetching lying jews.
I appreciate your response and counter points. I think more Christians need to have arguments like this void of calling people retards. I forgive you because you probably have to argue with atheists often who approach the argument with no authentic desire to build knowledge or listen to what you have to say and in those times it seems the atheist just wants to rant and mock Christians.
Forgive me, you came across as radically atheist. Your hatred for Zionism is so intense that it blurs the lines of lunacy and atheism at once.
The God I serve is not definable in physical terms. The God I serve and worship is a fully omnipotent and omnipresent God who at once is the Universe, Intelligence, and Consciousness. Christ within us is the greatest gift we could ever have. I hope you find him soon!
