According To The Gospel Of Jesus Christ

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.” Ephesians 1:3 (NKJV)

In the precious and beautiful name of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.

We hear it all the time, Judaism Christianity and Muslim being the three [major] religions of the world.  To clarify, Judaism isn’t a religion.  It [is] a Community of People, God’s Chosen People, and the Nation Israel.  People are focused on separating/delineating them, but if people would [just] take time to consider what really matters, the only things we’d be talking about is the significance of Messiah Yeshua’s death, burial, and resurrection.  It’s either God’s way or our own my friends.  I’m talking about the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob, the all-knowing God of the [Bible].

I spent a lot of time praying over what you’re about to read, and how to say it.  Knowing that mercy triumphs over judgement, it came down to what I already knew.  Tell it like it is, leave the rest in the hands of the all-knowing God of the [Bible]. 

Some people, calling themselves “Christians,” teach false doctrines.  The Anthanasian Creed, for example, surfaced in the fourth century, and it [is] the high priest of all [false] doctrines.  Any attempt to link false doctrines to [Biblical] truths will fall short, miss the mark so to speak.  Unlike falsehoods needing to keep up with the [ever changing] times, the inspired word of God endures forever. 

Then there’s those blowing themselves up, and taking innocent lives with them, for what they believe to be a just cause but is anything else but.  Their system of belief surfaced in the seventh century.  They flat out refuse to even mention God’s plan of salvation, and believe killing as many as they can is the most desirable.  I don’t know where they think they’re going, but unless they repent and turn from their wicked ways, it won’t be the kingdom of God. 

If the killing of innocent children doesn’t give me every reason to be flat out angry, but not out of control, I don’t know what will.  Knowing that the all-knowing God of the [Bible] is in full control, I know better than to allow things like this to get the best of me. 

One group is teaching a false method of salvation, the other is not acknowledging salvation at all.  Neither cannot support with [Biblical] truths what they are teaching.  I am in no way making any comparison between the actions of these two groups, I am specifically looking at only their teachings as they relate to [Biblical] truths.  It might appear the teachings of one is gaining ground over the other, depending upon which side you’re on of course, but when it’s all said and done it’ll be the second coming of Messiah Yeshua, when those teaching falsehoods face what [really] matters, the gospel of Jesus Christ.

For example, the whole conversation about the [Bible] being removed from our public school system, while at the same time students are being “forced” to learn about the Koran.  This is a double standard for the follower of the Anthanasian Creed, and a victory for those believing the Koran.  As a firm believer [in] Messiah Yeshua, I know the foundation of both systems of belief contradict [Biblical] truths. Therefore whatever they have to offer will come to nothing. Both groups are guilty of rejecting the teachings of the [Biblical] Yeshua.

Let’s cut to the chase.

Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.  And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’  This is the first commandment.  And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’  There is no other commandment greater than these.”  So the scribe said to Him, “Well said, Teacher, You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, and there is no other but He.”  Mark 12:29-32 (NKJV)

According to the gospel of Jesus Christ, we’re to “love the Lord your God” and “love your neighbor as yourself”.  Simply put we’re to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and, nothing else.  [True] followers of the [Biblical] Yeshua are thankful for such a time as this.  You’d have to admit that the harvest is great and, the gospel of Jesus Christ is exactly what people need to hear.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”  John 3:16 (NKJV)

In John 3:16, “He” and “His” is the all-knowing God of the [Bible].  “Son” and “Him,” Messiah Yeshua.  If you believe this to be true, then you’d know God’s plan of salvation [isn’t] forcing a person to believe anything.  “That whoever believes” in “Him,” shows it’s up to us, individually, to make that decision.  Anything else is to say the all-knowing God of the [Bible] isn’t in full control.

God bless.

In His Care… Jim
