Christianity silent on Slavery!

The problem with the Bible and the New Testament?

Slavery existed in Jesus day and so it continued past the death of the Apostle John about 100-110AD, in fact it still continues today in cheap labor, domestic servitude, sweat shops and voluntary work!

Many Christians employ some of the above mentioned without any qualms and thus they justify much sin, that excuses the world to not see much difference in claimed moral standards?

It is how we treat our workers that is the crucial fact in relation to a days wage that is fare or that we exploit them, believing they are part of our property and this is obvious in the many cults that still exist without challenge today in the mainstream Christian world!

Perhaps the best concept today of slavery and ownership is that of prostitution, since many are not free from being daily exploited men, woman and children and the access of the Internet?

Matthew 13:27-28, Acts 2:18, Romans 6:20, 1 Corinthians 7:23, 2 Peter 2:19, Revelation 19:5.

End of the World?

Speculation!

Cults feed on speculation, they are always coming up with dates, events and what their leader-leaders said? They are manipulators of peoples vulnerability and also on how to build up and tear down ones hopes!

The bible is very clear on the matter of the end of this world, as to dates only the Father knows, not even Jesus!

Events will occur in Jerusalem, Israel and these will lead to the false Messiah arriving on the scene!

Acts 1:6-11,  Matthew 24:30,  25:31,  1 Thessalonians 4:10,  Revelation 1:7.

Religious Fanaticism.

Guy Fawkes and on to the Present.

Nothing has changed over time with the human psyche to be motivated to do evil, there were as many before Fawkes and since?

Today the world faces a western onslaught from a new but another religious sect, who want everyone to believe their way or if they refuse be killed?

The Bible shows us that humanity never learns from its mistakes in relation to plots, to genocide, to murder all from a selfish narrow minded view. We can call it racism, sectarianism, religious fervour or revolution, it is basically all the same?

But God shows us a better way to escape this darkness and blindness of the world, if we would but have hope and trust in His son Jesus? For in Him we will find mercy, love and forgiveness of past sins.

The book of Esther,  Proverbs 21:27,  Matthew 15:18-19,  Luke 6:45,  1 John 2:13-14.

False Teachings. Two.

Introducing Legalism.

Most cults work on rules and the when they have snared you in its the teachings of the founder and his experience over that of following Jesus examples and the God of the Holy Bible?

Today there are many small group Churches from House Groups to smouldering congregations of once large Churches, they appear to be active in the community and draw in some odd-bods.

The leader, rather than leadership is the emphasis of these dangerous groups, where the pastor will claim that many had left them and gone away in falseness?

We as believers must always keep our focus on Jesus, who has purchased back to our Father God from our sins and living in darkness.

Romans 3:23, 6:23, Titus 2:13-14, 1 Peter 3:16.

False Teachings. One.

Another Agenda?

The Koran and any religious book, including the Bible can be tweisted to justify the beginnings of a sectarian cultic ideal. Many young Muslims are being lead down a road of false teaching by very well educated and politically motivated people around the world today.

We have seen a string of Islamic inspired attacks across the world this year and we hear of the occasional taking out by drones of a military leader, but the real problems are being avoided that of false Qur’nic teaching in many Mosques.

As believers we are not limited in shring the Good News of Jesus with neighbours, at school and work. God has given us all the ability to share Him.

Deuteronomy 31:7-8, Romans 10:15-17, Phillipians 1:27-28, 2 Peter 2:1.

Religious Sects. Part-One.

Jehovah Witnesses.

Sadly there are to many religious sects in the world today, many claim to witness for Gods name Jehovah. But most are about financial gain and having power over weak people, who then can be exploited and mentally abused.

It is reported in various media outlets that the pop star Prince refused medical examination, because he believed that praying to God would heal him? The bible does not teach the refusal of medical attention, since the Gospel writer Luke was a physician.

But some cults and cultic groups twist the scriptures of the bible to suit their own misunderstandings. The Apostle Paul talked about this warning believers of these dangerous errors.

Acts 8:30-31,  28:26-27,  1 Corinthians 2:14,  1 Timothy 1:7, Jude 1:10.
