The discpline of being a disciple

Those who continue in sin, rebuke in the presence of all, so that the rest also will be fearful of sinning. (1 Tim. 5:20)

Tourism and the Creator

As the tourist travels and fills his days with admiring God's handy work he is wearied with trying to capture it on fancy cameras for the enjoyment of another day.  In the end he is reminded of the words of Ecclesiastes written several thousand years ago.

All things are full of weariness; man cannot express it: 

 the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled

 with hearing.

(Ecclesiastes 1:8)

For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. (Romans 1:20)

Freemasons seek to hear from Muhammad

We often hear of Freemasons who claim to be Christians.

After all here is a Masonic version of the KJV bible.

But there are plenty of contradictions when you begin to look at the various Mason publications.

Notice the detail in Arabic on the left side of this Masonic document.  It is an appeal for protection that they may hear from the prophet of the Koran.  Why would any Christian cite the Koran which is an all out attack on everything Jewish and Christian?  Most of Surah 9 has to do with killing unbelievers and only protecting them if they submit to Allah and his prophet, or pay the dhimmi tax.

Evil men and Seducers

But evil men and seducers shall wax worse

 and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

 These were the words of Apostle Paul to a young Timothy about two thousand years ago. In this same third chapter of his second letter to Timothy he compared the future deception to that of the battle between Moses and two magicians of Egypt who are given the names Jannes and Jambres.  They were able to oppose Moses with mocking paranormal tricks, but only to a point.  Often in the bible the Greek word used for sorcery is the very word we get pharmacy from.  Drugs can have a deceptive influence on those who use them therefore have been used by seducers over the centuries to manipulate and control naive people in the form of magic.  Our liberal society has begun to neutralize all critical thinking regarding drugs and turn it into a form of entertainment for the masses.  At times it becomes nothing more than a placebo.

Why Durkanstan is dying

Dykanstan

Jesus said we would know them by their fruit

Birds of a feather

And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day;  as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

 

Up in Smoke!

Christian Science, is it really?

It has been said about Christian Science that it is like 

Grape Nuts, it is neither grapes nor nuts.

The Christian Science cult started by Mary Baker Eddy is typical of many mind science cults in that it appeals to the ego of man.   It implies that through proper thinking, or mind over matter, one can manipulate circumstances for ones own benefit.  Mary Baker Eddy claimed to have discovered how to heal disease and published her book Science and Health, with key to the Scriptures in 1875.  Using biblical language it redefines nearly every doctrine of the Christian faith. 

 Claiming that God is Mind we are lead to believe that we can attain the mind of Christ through proper thinking.  "The notion that both evil and good are real is a delusion of material sense, which Science annihilates.  Evil is nothing..."   (pg 330)  Science and Health teaches that Jesus cast out devils because they are nothing but delusions. (pg 348)  Her idea of speaking in new tongues was merely to speak positive words over these delusions. (pg. 349)  She claimed that ghosts are groundless, erroneous and man-made.  One's health can be restore by simply rejecting this idea of childish timidity. (pg. 352)
The Science of Mind disposes of all evil by claiming Christ came to destroy the belief of sin.  Baker claimed that "Jesus is the human man, and Christ is the divine idea".  Science and Health is very clear in its teaching that Jesus is not God. (pg 473)

Any bible student should be able to see the error of Baker Eddy's teaching.  Jesus dealt with real demons, spoke of a real Devil, and shed his blood for real sins in order to save us from a real hell.

Evil is but an illusion (pg. 480)

Tell that to the thousands killed on 9/11

Some Christians have confused real faith in healing for this mind science concept of faith.  True faith however is to believe God to heal us, not that we can heal ourselves through proper thinking or by denying reality.
