Question the System. Part-Two.

Islamic countries.

‘Allah’ May be the highest authority, but who comes next in line of the systems. As we have seen with recent changes in the middle-east some countries have now more tyranny than they had before. There has been a breakdown in order and in some countries no one really knows who is running the place.

Generally in any Muslim country ‘Democracy’ is not what we understand in the west, to question could mean death. Islamic systems, Dictatorships, even Kingdoms holding western ideals, but still no freedoms.  Exodus 1:8-10,  Esther 1:19,  Daniel 3:1-3,  Revelation 18:4-7,  11-13.

Question the system? Part-One.

Communist lands.

Cuba, North-Korea, China, Syria, Angola, Venezuela are what is left the once effective Communist block. Many of these nations still today do not allow their people to have the right to express themselves. It remains a crime to question the State or the system, it is considered a mental illness to believe in any higher power than that of the philosophy of the founding fathers of Marxism, Socialism and Communism.

People live in fear of their own neighbours and work colleges, if not family. Having no religion is considered to be the intelligent way for humanity to further itself.  Psalm 14:1,  53:1.

Love and Marriage. Part-Three.

‘Lust is not love.’

Many relationships are built on a false foundation, that of Lust. When problems arise there is no relationship, friendship or desire for partnership, because it was all based on sexual pleasure, fancy and self centered motivation. Lust is about getting ‘what I want and by force if necessary.’

Lust outside marriage as well as within, ultimately leads to disaster. In marriage many find it hard to push one, so they look for the greener field over the hill’. Later after all the pain and the hurt of marital breakdown and divorce, they find that field was the same as the one they left.

Jesus had much to say about marriage, lust and divorce.  Matthew 5:31-32,  Exodus 2o:17,  21:7-11, Deuteronomy 21:10-14,  24:1-4, Proverbs 6:24-25, 1 Corinthians 10:6-7, Ephesians 4:22.

Love and Marriage. Part-Two.

Not everyone will marry.

Marriage is not for everyone, some cannot, others it just never happens and some may have committed to a vow of Celibacy, for many varied reasons. Others like their own company. God is loving and merciful and understands each individual  situation.

But God does not tolerate selfish ambitions and rebellion towards Him. Evil may continue on the earth for now, but one day all people, both the saved and the lost will have to give Him an account.

We may laugh at God and the Bible now and mock, but if we do not repent, change our mental attitudes towards Jesus and His sacrifice for our Sin and failure, we will be eternally cut off from God’s presence.

Deuteronomy 23:18,  Matthew 7:6,  1 Corinthians 6:9,  Galatians 5:19,  Luke 16:19-31,  Revelation 22:15.

Love and Marriage. Part-One.

Marriage.

God ordained for man and woman marriage. Many people today believe that marriage is for everyone and anything?  But if we claim to believe and follow the teachings of the bible, we will see that this is not so.

In a few days time loads of people will long for that Valentine card and will spend and enjoy Saint Valentines day, as a time of sharing love and romance. Couples single and married will come together to enjoy each others company, but the end result must be a relationship in union with God. Genesis 2:18-24,  Matthew 19:4-6,  Mark 10:6-9.

Everything that is outside this union of Covenant of Marriage is from the selfishness of the heart.

Holocaust Denial. Part-Three.

Killing children.

Today we have many international declarations for the protection of woman and children in a war situation. I expect that this is in reality nothing new, depending on the nations and systems that had past warfare?

During the Nazi-Holocaust over 180,000 children were systematically murdered. They were chosen to die, picked out by doctors for inhumane medical experimentation. Most of our modern approach to DNA and Genetic science is probably based on the research collated by the Nazi’s?

The bible tells us of many past atrocity’s against Israelite/Jewish children. Exodus 1:15-22,  2 Kings 8:12,  Isaiah 13:6, Matthew 2:16-18.

Holocaust Denial. Part-Two.

Revisionism.

The desire to change history to cover up murder, guilt, Sin is nothing new. Today many nations implement their own version of Revisionism or denial. The British have covered up or excused both west-African slavery as a localized event that was well in place before they arrived. But what they fail to explain is that what they did involved the mass humiliation and murder of millions for profit. Ireland is another case, occupation and the advantage when it occurred to starve the population to death.

God wants us to confess our failings to him and turn away from the past, to a New life of honesty and truthfulness. doing what is right with integrity.   Job 6:25,  Proverbs 12:3,  19:1,  Acts 3:19-20,

Holocaust Denial. Part-One.

There are many people in the world today who want to re-evaluate the Nazi-Holocaust of 1939-45, for their own personnel ends. They are described as revisionists or Holocaust deniers. They want to question the numbers, that could not be possible to kill so many people.

We have learned from history over the last sixty-five years in Kapuchea and Rwanda that it is very easy for humanity to commit mass genocide. What was done here in either months or a year or so, is on the same scale as, if not more than what Germany achieved. Thus cancelling out the revisionist ideas.

God tells us in a straight way ‘that all men are sinners.’  Romans 3:23,  6:23,   John 3:15-21.

Many think ‘oh I am okay for what i have done God will let me off.   Luke 14:27.

Virgin birth. Part-Five.

The Magi/ three Kings.

The wise men arrived in Jerusalem, after traveling from the east following the star for one year. This is much different from the traditional images that we have of them at the nativity. They came to acknowledge the Messiah of the Jews, the new born King of Israel and the Savior of the Gentile world.

Matthew 2:1-2, 10-11.

Meanwhile paranoid Herod had other plans for killing all the male boys up to two years old.  Matthew 2:16-18.

That is what weak leaders do, when they loose control they enforce terror. Believe fear will control the multitudes.

Virgin Birth. Part-Four.

Jesus the Jewish Messiah and the Saviour of the world in now born. Matthew 1:18-25, Luke 2:6-7.

Jesus is born not in a palace, not in luxury, not even at home. He arrives in a smelly stable, wrapped up in cloths and placed in a feeding trough.  Every Christmas is the same, many people have given up on the meaning of the story, they would rather get drunk, eat to much and party.

Others will be alone, some suicidal some will get sick drunk or use drugs to cover up their pain. But the answers to our problems are only to be found in Jesus. Many Christians will enjoy the season, but they never even try to read the Bible for themselves, relying on ‘Christian radio and TV to fill them. Let alone actually apply their faith into action daily.

That is why Jesus was born in a stable and died on a cross. What will you do this Christmas with your life?
