The mistake is perceiving “Christianity” as a religion and secularism as reality. A “religion” is a set of beliefs not requiring proof; as such, evolution is a religion since none can prove that life comes from non-life, nor that entropy works in reverse; claims to the contrary are secular dogma.
Once agreed that we share the common foundation of unprovable presuppositions, our religions are at least equal and Christians owe zero deference to those who claim, via dogma, that they have no dogma.
Jesus Christ is Judge and earthly Monarch; this core belief is infinitely more important than clinging to a set of moralities or “values.”
Jesus Christ is Power. Christians (as opposed Judeo-Christians) recognize this. That He appears weak at the moment is a vast consideration — it is as if He were nowhere to be found but in the stale dry pages of a book long bypassed by a dead Christendom.
But there is a genius to this facade — it allows men to demonstrate loyalty in the face of insurmountable odds. This is the gold of the Kingdom — living by faith for a King not here, knowing he will return in his own time.
And it’s not about rote obedience either: It is “who will pay the price for the privilege of laying down one’s life for His Name.” All life is a loyalty test. …
Acts 14 through Acts 18. Paul spreads the good news and the Jews undermine the Gospel.
Jew is a Bible Word — you don’t need anyone’s permission to use it. Because it is a Bible word, its lessons endure forever, yet it’s rarely preached on. Entire denominations have been established on scriptures with fewer references than to those of the Jews. Examples:
Yet “Jew” is mentioned eighty-three times in the Book of Acts alone. The role of the “Jews” is no more temporary than speaking in tongues or healing, or the resurrection of the dead or casting out demons, let alone something esoteric as a pre-tribulation rapture or the millenium. In order to address the dearth of knowledge of “Jew” and Jews, a Christian ought simply read what the Scriptures themselves say.
Death of Jesus Christ …
Acts 8 through Acts 13. Learning what to preach about and learning who will aways oppose the message of Jesus Christ and how they operate to undermine the Gospel.
The Book of Revelation has always fascinated. The book is a revelation of Jesus Christ, a revealing of the Son of God. Over the years I’ve enjoyed reading how Babylon the Great will be destroyed in one hour, almost immediately, and I’ve pondering her character as the goddess of trade and commerce and wealth; and the suddenness of her destruction.
Today I write on the whore — for what she is:
OK, here are some clues to the whores identity: this is what the whore does, she is: …
