Christmas Limited?

The missing Parts?

Protestant evangelicalism could be accused of loosing out much since the German reformation of Martin Luther and the successive teaching of Calvin?

Even before the European reformation the Roman Catholic Church ignored the circumcision of Jesus on the eight day as not relevant, when it is essential in knowing that Jesus fulfilled all aspects of the Law of God for us!

The Magnificat and Zechariahs Prophecy are two key areas of New Testament scriptures that is lost in the Christian Church to bias from one side or the other, when they are both equally important for all believers!

Luke 1:46-55,   67-80,   2:21-24.

Both emphasise and signify that God has not yet and never will reject Israel the nation as much false teachings and doctrines today portray! We are in some serious dangers here and may loose our salvation if we continue to oppose God in a hostile way?

Romans 2:5-7,   Hebrews 2:14-15,   Revelation 22:16.

Why do Governments Tolerate? Two.

Keeping Face!

Did you know that the U.S. President Trump is actually afraid of woman in power, that is why he is at this time during the G20 in Argentina playing ball over the Ukraine to please British PM Mrs May!

World leaders play diplomatic games facing each other off and pretending to keep what they claim to have said or not?

The Holy Bible calls this intrigue or clever manipulation of events something the British government has played with its own people over Brexit, but this goes on all over the place with many other issues too even despite it being dishonest!

Isaiah 14:13,   Ezekiel 28:2,  6,  9,  Matthew 24:4-6,   1 Corinthians 8:5,   2 Thessalonians 2:3-4,   2 Timothy 4:3-4,   Revelation 13:6-7.

armistice?

culmination!

Its one hundred years since the end of World War-I (1914-18), ‘The wars to end all wars? But the truth was it was the beginning of a new age in warfare with the introduction of many new things, radio communications, mustered gas, flamethrowers and the tank!

It was also the age of the first use of aerial combat from ‘Dog fighting to bombing raids, by German airships over London and all gentlemanly of course!

What was gained was enough knowledge for world war-II (1939-45), were eugenics was fulfilled in the Nazi Holocaust and new atomics and rocketry  were also part of the new culmination of wars!

God wants us believers to really remember those who went before us and to see what he has done for us in redeeming us back to Him through Jesus! To understand that we have a precious salvation and the promise of an eternal life with Him!

Numbers 31:6,  Judges 3:10,  Psalm 120:7,  Jeremiah 14:15,  Acts 4:26,  Hebrews 9:11-12,  14,  12:1-2,  Revelation 17:14.

Setbacks in Space! One.

‘A dusty End and More?

The Mars mission is at a standstill, Juno is not operating properly and the Russians have aborted a launch?

These setbacks are major failures and show us that we are still young when it comes to space exploration! Mars is not a friendly environment and a manned mission will cost us possibly the loss of life?

Today the International Space station is isolated, with no creditable return vessel from either Russia or the U.S. China, Japan and ESA use different systems, something that will have to be sorted out now for the years to come!

We await New Horizons flyby and the development of another re-usable spaceship similar to the Space shuttle if we are going to be serious about manned flight in near and far space as going to the Moon!

The amazing thing is that God is watching us and He can muck it all up for us, just as He did at Babel!

Genesis 11:9,   Job 17:11,   Jeremiah 29:11,   Luke 21:25,   1 Corinthians 15:32,   James 4:13-14.

Fire, fruit and Pruning! One.

The role of the Holy Spirit in the believers New Life?

When we are born again of the final atonement of Jesus death on the cross and resurrection on the third day from the grave, because of our faith and repentance we individually receive the Holy Spirit!

First there is an inner fire, a flame of mixed passion and compassion for the lost around us, family and friends! We are eager with share our testimony and witness our faith and from this comes fruit, but we have also been given fruit the ability to use these divine and spiritual resources?

Then when we have learned how to use these gifts, we also will learn how to prune back the elements that are not profitable, so that all may be refined to start afresh and press on?

John 15:1-16,   Acts 2:3,   1 Corinthians 3:13,   12:6-30,   Galatians 5:22,    Jude 1:23.

Ever Darkness. One.

The Lords Return!

We have been warned in the Holy Bible that the world is getting worse in its lack of morality and also in its sincerity towards each other!

We are warned that the love of many will grow cold, this is more so with believers than with the world who are already there on the insides!

But we have to continue to live in the world and face daily hostility on different levels, sometimes insults, jeers and other times worse like threats and intimidation? But the answer to these problems is opposite to what the human nature demands anger and strife, we are asked to rejoice to be happy to praise God!

Psalm 7:17,  68:4,  Matthew 24:12,  Luke 10:21,  2 Corinthians 12:20,  1 Thessalonians 4:17,  James 4:1-4,  1 John 4:20,  Revelation 1:7.

The Darkness. Two.

Risen from the Dead!

It is still hard for many believers who accept that Jesus has died for their failure to then believe that the Man-God rose from the dead on the third day?

The challenge of faith is to believe in the impossible and then apply it, this is much more than just trusting it is proving God to be true to His word!

Without the resurrection, there can be no Salvation, no overcoming the sting of death and no entering into the promised New Life! Over five-hundred people witnessed Jesus in Israel between His rising on the third day and His Ascension back to heaven!

John 11:25,   Acts 10:39,   Philippians 3:10,   Hebrews 11:1-3,  1 Peter 1:23.

The Darkness. One.

Exodus and Easter.

God made His presence known on these two important occasions of deliverance for His people Israel from their slavery in Egypt and for our individual deliverance by Jesus shedding of blood on the cross/stake/tree for our sins!

God in His character is not dark, but rather pure light, truth and holiness and without sin, but we are told something of that dwelling place that we can never enter and that is a place of darkness!

This time of the year should be one of reflection on our own calling and salvation, while also hoping and praying for those lost around us that they might see the light that Jesus offers and turn to Him in confession and repentance of their own failures, seeking His forgiveness?

Genesis 1:2,   Exodus 10:21-22,   2 Samuel 22:10-12,   Psalm 18:11,   Matthew 27:45.

Mind, Heart and Soul. One.

We Choose?

It is easy to blame all the evil and bad in the world on the Devil, when the truth has more to do with our own human choices? Jesus told the people in ear shot of Him that it was a mans heart that was were the origins of our own actions stem from!

It does not matter how many rules you think you can keep, or the way you choose to live, meditate, use different ways to form your lifestyle? Sin will always get in the way, our inherited condition will allow us to choose from a selfish standpoint, from lust, desires and what we want?

On the other hand we claim to have faith in the death of Jesus on the cross/stake/tree for our sins and forgiveness and His resurrection from the dead into our New Life? Then we are daily challenged with how to apply love to those who hate us and try to us either physical or mental harm!

Genesis 4:7, 6:5-6,  Job 1:8,  Psalm 10:9-10,  Matthew 15:18-19,  Luke 6:45,  1 Peter 3:4,  Jude 1:4,  22-23.

Humans and Robots. Part-Two.

Just Machines!

Some are or have become concerned about the fast progress of todays robotics and the complex computing that they have been enabled with? The fear that humanity will be replaced by a machine is nothing new, but it has not yet happened!

A machine is a machine, clever computing power and programming may make it do some wonderful things? It may even one day have the limited capability to make its own logical choices, but these will not be a threat as claimed by many today!

Humans are far more different and complex from any Robot of any type yet built, because we have a soul and machines never will! We are made in the image and character of God, they may look and speak like us but they remain machines?

Romans 1:20,  5:4,  Deuteronomy 4:13-16, Psalm 143:6,  Luke 10:27.
