In the earlier post, we saw that many Christians reject the teachings of Jesus by replacing Him with the Bible from being the authoritative Truth. In this post, we will explore how Christians reject the teachings of Jesus by replacing them from being the way to the Father with someone’s words with His name.
More than 300 people were killed in the recent bomb blasts which targeted mostly Christians. There is no doubt God will bring justice quickly to those who do injustice against His people and even Jesus grieved for the death of His friend Lazarus just like us. However, when Jesus was mentioned about the killing of the Galileans and mixing their blood with the sacrifices, He responded in a completely unexpected way. In this post, we will explore the response of Jesus and how we can be spared from such attacks.
The way Christians reject the teachings of Jesus is by replacing Him from being the Truth. If Jesus is the Truth, then everything that does not agree with Jesus Christ is a lie. Do you believe Jesus is the truth? Anyone can use the Bible to prove anything from polygamy to abstinence, crusades to burning on stake and many others. This is where Satan wants to throw away the Truth and replace it with the Bible. Do you truly believe the Truth who is Jesus Christ?
Many Christians may not be aware that the Pharisees were actually accusing Jesus of not following the Scripture. Like Pharisees, many Christians today follow the Bible even to the point of rejecting the words of Jesus Christ using the Bible. Are you searching the Bible for eternal life but not willing to come to Jesus by denying yourself, taking up your cross and follow Him?
Many Christians including most Catholics exalt Mary, the surrogate mother of Jesus Christ. However, they willingly ignore how Jesus rejects such exaltation. In this post, we will explore how Jesus is rejecting all exaltation of His surrogate mother and attributes the honor to those who hear the word of God and do it.
Are you born of God to be a brother or sister of the Son of God? Or, are you a friend of Jesus, the same relationship with which Jesus called Judas? Or, have you just decided to serve Jesus to be His servant? Or, are you a stranger to Jesus by working iniquity? Only a relative can redeem a relative. Neither a friend can redeem his friend, nor can a master can redeem his servant. Who are you to Christ?
For many Christians, the blood of the Lamb or the blood of Jesus Christ refers to a magic blood bank sucking from Christ’s body and gets poured out at their request to make them clean. They completely ignore the true meaning of it, which is completely our responsibility. Asking God to cleanse us with the blood of His Son Jesus is not only deceptive but hypocritical. While the blood of Jesus can cleanse us, He is not going to spoon feed us with His blood to force us to abide in Him but rather, it is our responsibility to obey His words and keep His commandments to get cleansed.
Why did Jesus stop the rich man from calling Him good and declaring only God as good? You will be surprised to learn that Jesus touched several unclean people to cleanse them of their sickness and in that process, He became unclean according to the law, thus doesn’t want to call Himself good even though He never became unclean Himself since power went from Him to cleanse others.
One of the interesting characters in the book of Job is Elihu. Elihu introduces himself to be Job’s spokesman before God and also spoke on God’s behalf – revealing himself to be the mediator between God and Job, a type of Jesus Christ. Elihu itself means, “He is my God”. In this post, we will explore the messianic prophecies of Elihu and God.
When did Joseph’s celestial dream fulfilled? Did his father and mother bowed down? The dream is about the Messiah, Jesus Christ where Joseph is a type of Christ.
