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.

The Operation of God

Col 2:12  Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. The word operation was translated from the Greek:   G1753 ἐνέργεια energeia en-erg'-i-ah From G1756; efficiency (“energy”): - operation, strong, (effectual) working. This gives us an idea of what goes on in the spirit realm when a person comes to Christ. The Scripture says, we are risen with Him through the faith of the operation of God... the energy... the effectual working of God.  Here is what happens in the spirit realm, believers are risen from the dead by this energy - the effectual working of God. And it is made to pass through the faith of this energy. Now, this clearly tells us that this is not Man's faith, it is God's faith.  Notice the first part of this Scripture. It says, Buried with Him in baptism. This is where Man's faith is in operation. Baptism is the answer of a good conscience toward God. The a...

A New Creation

2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. A very simple yet so profound truth that we must not forget: we are new creations in Christ. We are not the person that we were before we came to know Christ. We are a new person, a new creature in Christ. This is very foundational and very, very important. Many Christians tend to dwell on the Cross. They stay there and never want to be removed from there because the Cross meant the forgiveness of sins. And that is true. But the very purpose of the Cross was not the forgiveness of sins, but rather, to condemn sin. A Christian is not a sinner saved by grace as some denominations teach. And that phrase, sinner saved by grace, is never really found in the Bible. A Christian is not a sinner. We were sinners before we became Christians, but when we became Christians, we put on the new man. Religion would tell you that you are not worthy, how that you are ...

Looking At The Big Picture

By looking at Creation from a bird's eye view, perhaps we can have a hint and understand better the work which God has created. In the beginning God said, Let us make man according to our image. (Gen 1:27) So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And throughout the Bible, looking from a macro level, we can see that the purpose of God for man was not changed. God has it in His heart to make us like Him. And the things that has happened in the past and those that are happening now and will still happen in the future all add up to that end. But we cannot really say that God has authored everything that takes place because even right now, we know we are free to do whatever we want, and we know that we do it by ourselves only and not by some controlling force from the outside. We can be persuaded and moved by some external forces, but still the decision to act is solely attributed to the individual. God has foreknowle...
