What is the difference between being a divisive/quarrelsome person and one who obeys God as he “contends for the faith?” (Jude 3) Some will not accept truth. Jesus, the “Prince of Peace,” said He came to divide, “not to bring peace but a sword (Mt 10:34).” He knew even members of the same family would
“Do you believe in visions?” She said she had visions from God, then asked if I believe we can receive visions today? My answer: Joseph Smith said he received a vision from God in 1830 resulting in the Mormon Church. Mary Baker Eddy said she received a vision from God; the result was the Christian
“We are not under law, but under grace!” This reflects a serious misunderstanding of both law and grace. It misrepresents the religious system we are under today, for some argue the Christian is not subject to sacred law, freeing him to make his own rules. Jude says this is a perversion of God’s truth (3,4).
Millions have asked this question. The answer is in Romans 16:16. Jesus said, “Upon this rock I will build my church” (Mt 16: 18). Christ built His church when 3,000 became Christians and were added to it (Acts 2:38-47). The church of Christ was built upon the foundation of Jesus (I Cor 3:11). JESUS CHRIST
There are over 1400 commands from God in the Old Testament. When a specific command is given and obeyed, God blesses. When disobeyed, punishment follows. These are “written to teach us” (Rom. 15:4). 1. King Saul was commanded to kill the Amelekites and all they had (I Sam 15); he disobeyed and lost the kingdom.
You may be asking about the Mormon Church because presidential candidate Mitt Romney is prominent in that religion and contributes million$ to it. The Mormon Church (Latter Day Saints) was organized by Joseph Smith on April 6, 1830 at Fayette, NY. At the age of 14 he began to have hallucinations (visions). When 17 he
Jesus of Nazareth, without money, science, learning or arms, conquered more millions than Alexander, Caesar, Mohomet and Napoleon. He shed more light on things human and divine than all philosophers and scholars combined. Without the eloquence of schools, He spoke words of life as were never spoken before or since, and produced effects which lie
Every responsible person will need forgiveness because “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Rom 3:23). To forgive is to give up resentment and desire for revenge. To pardon is to free from punishment. God can both forgive and pardon upon acceptance of His divine plan. Alexander Pope wrote, “To err
Believing that Jesus was as a great person, or even that He was the son of God, is not enough to save us from our sins. Billy Graham was right when he said it takes more than this. He said “even the devil believes all these things about Jesus (James 2:19) – but that doesn’t
When Jesus “saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd.” (Mt 9:36) “Compassion” here is from the strongest word in the Greek language showing “no pity or compassion.” Today you may also see people who are “weary and scattered.” Some have been
