Truth comes by revelation

Truth comes by revelation. That is why we have this ecumenical movement going on with all the religions of the world thinking that Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus etc. can all join hands in the name of World Peace. Maybe they should invite the Church of Satan also because there is now such a church in existence. Who knows how much membership they now have?

No amount of study can bring us to the truth. There is a passage in the Bible that says: "ever learning but never arriving at a knowledge of the truth.." That's referring to the religious scholars of that time. And we have them also in this present generation.

The Apostle Paul is a classic example. He was a master of the Scriptures. Probably a double Phd on that one subject he would lay his life for. But he never had a clue that Jesus was the Christ until the Lord revealed himself. How could Paul have missed it? As the Lord himself said: "All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him." Luk 10:22

Peter also in one instance said: "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. Mat 16:16-17

And so it is not astonishing to find aged Priests who still play cards in philosophy class and proposing: "Truth is relative!" The other players can only guess which cards he is holding. The card he is holding is what is true to him. And the same principle applies to the rest of the participants. So they confidently conclude that truth is circumstantial. And so they can hold hands and live happily ever after because what is true to a Muslim is not necessarily affected by what is true to a Christian. A very plausible proposition especially when the goal is World Peace & Security!

Wise men they are. Little do they know of the Holy Spirit who can show them things that are yet to come.

How do you know?

I asked: How do you know that when you die you will be with Jesus? Somebody said: 1Jn 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. And WHAT are these who believe... 1Jn 5:1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God... And what shall become of those who believe... Joh 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. I said: Yes, sure the Bible tells us that, and our Pastors tell us that. But how are you so sure that indeed you have eternal life? And again he says: Rom 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED. This is the glorious future of those whom the Father foreknew. Again I s...

Between God and the Politician

Often we hear during election time of Politicians platform of government and promised infrastructure projects should they be elected in office. But all those talk and speeches just go back to the filing cabinets once elections are through and kept hid until the next elections. So between God and the Politician is a great chasm, a great divide between truth and lies because Man's words are often empty, but the Word of God is never empty. Not because Man wants to lie but because he is not capable of keeping his every word. God on the other hand is able. God said: But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings, and you shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts (Mal 4:2-3). Those words are not empty. Surely they come to pass to them which receives them. And God has declared it that ...

Working Out Salvation

Php 2:12-15 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. (13) For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. (14) Do all things without murmurings and disputings: (15) That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;  Just to remove the misconstruction here, ‘work out’ is not synonymous with ‘work for’. The former means to develop while the latter means to earn. Salvation is not earned. It is freely given of God. He made it that way so that no one can boast. But salvation needs to be developed so that we may reap its fruits. Christians struggle with their faith because after that they have received the Lord Jesus they still face the same problems, the same struggles, the same circumstances even long after that they be...
