Finding Bible Answers is The Key to a Stronger Christian Life

Filed under: Charity — publisher @ 6:31 pm

Are you looking for Bible answers and do not know where to look?

For one, the Bible itself can give you the answers to your most pressing questions. Yet there are so many believers who are new to the fold and are not very well-versed in finding the answers that they so fervently seek.

So where do they find these answers?

Being among God’s people who are strong in the Word of God will be a good place to start, especially if you have decided to walk in the way of the Lord.

Not only will God’s Word strengthen you to stay in the faith by the holiness preaching sermons preached by Jesus and John, but you can also understand the true meaning of what it is to be Christ-like.

Despite the fact that many preachers in today’s world do not necessarily mention the word ‘Hell’ in their sermons, the truth is that Christ and John the Baptist knew the pitfalls that would cause Christians to sin no matter whatever era they lived in.

And in being able to walk a little closer with the Lord, soul winning becomes a priority in telling people about Jesus’ love and the changes that He has brought into your life. Of course, while people might not accept what you say, it is something that shouldn’t be taken personally as a lot of people did not listen to Jesus’ words when He was here on Earth.

These are natural stages in the life of a Christian, and in becoming strong in your faith by reading the word of God, not only will you understand the importance of living a holy life, but also telling others what Jesus has done for you.

What is The Unforgivable Sin?

Filed under: Charity — publisher @ 12:12 am

If there’s any statement that summarizes the Bible in a nutshell, it is the fact that God loved us so much that He sent His Son to die for our sins on the cross. Understanding the impact of John 3:16 in our own lives will begin a personal journey (a new chapter, if you will) with the Lord Jesus Christ in the pursuit of holiness among all other things spiritual.

But there is another constant in our lives: sin. We have to keep battling our fleshly nature in order to pursue desires that are spiritual in nature. And this battle between good and evil continues until we leave our physical bodies in death. And our ability to live a life pleasing in the eyes of God will get us to Heaven and not by wearing a brown scapular, as most Catholics would have you believe.

In theological circles, this aspect is also known as conditional security, and most people who believe in the Word of God will tell you that the Bible does not offer any kind of eternal security, as a lot of false teachers and preachers will have you believe.

Of course, these people who contort the Word of God for their gain were already mentioned by Jesus as a follow-up to the post trib rapture where people who have been true to the faith of Christianity will be lifted up into Heaven while the others get left behind.

At another level altogether, there are questions that you might have about the term ‘unforgivable sin’. While most people believe that it might be lying, cheating, stealing, lust, witchcraft, and so on and so forth, the truth is that in the passage in which the teachers of the law accused Jesus of being possessed by a demon, He said that in saying this about Him, they had committed an eternal sin.

This is yet another classic example of how the Bible can be misunderstood, and therefore, the simplest solution to getting rid of doubt is to continue to read the Bible and ask for God’s wisdom to understand it as a Christian.

Questions About The Post Tribulation Rapture?

Filed under: Charity — publisher @ 5:42 pm

Sometimes even the smallest doubt can change the beliefs of a Christian since there are so many convincing godly men out there. However, despite the fact that the Word of God tells you all you need to know about how to live the Christian life, some people fall for evangelical messages that are definitely not based on the Word of God.

Perhaps rather than taking people’s words as gospel truth – as ironic as this sounds, it is therefore important for Christians to know their faith and find a source that can help them clarify their doubts.

For example, you might be curious as to why Catholics use the brown scapular.  By demystifying this ritual, you might be able to decide whether or not, you should believe in it. It is true when they say that knowledge empowers individuals to stand for what they believe in.

If you have other questions that are slightly more complex such as the tenets of Calvinism or even the post trib rapture, then one place where you can find plenty of authentic – and false – information is at specific sites over the internet.

Not only are these sites backed up by the Scriptures but they also help you to live a Christian life by offering courses and devotionals that will keep you steadfast in your faith in the days to come. All in all, there is a reason why this generation is called the “Age of Grace”.  It is important to know the truth about your ticket to heaven.

Is Eternal Security True or False?

Filed under: Charity — publisher @ 5:44 pm

Perhaps the first question that any new believer of Christianity might want to ask is the simplest one of all: What is the gospel of Christ?

Of course, there are several answers to this question but if it is not rooted in the Word of God, then you can be sure that you are basing your life on falsehood that will not bear any fruit. So, it is important to stay in touch with other believers who have been in the faith for a while now.

Yes, we are talking about people who know the serious difference between eternal and conditional security, and which one of these opposing concepts actually holds water or not.

Yet there are times when it is not possible to stay in touch with them at meetings, so, another way by which you can get your answers is by surfing the internet for sites that will help you read God’s word daily, and remain as strong as ever in your faith.

These sites will also help you with your doubts regarding eternal security and clarify other concepts such as the gospel of greed so that you would remain in the narrow path that Jesus warned us about before He went to heaven to be with His Father.

In clarifying your doubts, you can be sure that your Father in heaven will be pleased with how you live your life!

What is The Gospel of Greed?

Filed under: Charity — publisher @ 12:25 am

If there is anything that is unique about Christianity, it is the fact that soul winning is one of its top priorities. Of course, this is what Jesus commanded his disciples to do, which is otherwise known as “The Great Commission” by most theological experts.

And since this was done at a time when word of mouth was used to get the gospel out to “lost souls”, things have changed very much since then. And there is no doubt that since the Bible is always open to interpretation, the essence of Jesus’ teachings has been replaced by the gospel of greed.

Yes, Jesus said that it is more difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven as compared to a camel because the former always treasures his money much more than anything else, clearly putting riches before spirituality.

When it comes to matters of salvation, there are some people who say that once saved always saved, while others believe that you have to work your own salvation if you want to go to heaven. Yet again, this topic is open to interpretation and something to give some thought to.

So, if you are interested in looking for information regarding the Bible and the key concepts that are in it, try looking for certain sites over the Internet that not only cater to a new believer’s spiritual needs but also to believers who have been living his faith for a long time.

Is Imputed Righteousness The Right Way?

Filed under: Charity — publisher @ 12:32 am

There is no doubt that Christianity is evangelical by nature.  And in spreading the good news, the work that Jesus left for his disciples to do here on earth was to find lost souls and bring them to the foot of the cross in order to be saved.

But salvation is a complex concept apart from the other teachings of the Bible.  Some people twist the Scripture for their own benefits as depicted in the case where the gospel of greed is preached.

While this implies that you should be materially blessed, the question raised here is if it is alright for you to be focus on material blessings as opposed to seeking God and His spiritual blessings instead.

At another level altogether, the concept of imputed righteousness has also been under scrutiny since this implies that once you are saved, you will remain saved until you die and that you will go to heaven regardless of the number sins you commit after being saved.

Perhaps these are some questions that you might have as a person seeking for the truth about salvation.  You might also want to understand the basics of Christianity.  But regardless of your spiritual health, one of the places where you can find spiritual food is over the Internet – at the sites that not only provide answers to your questions but also help you to distinguish between what is true and what is false.

Is Eternal Security True?

Filed under: Charity — publisher @ 12:33 am

There are several questions and doubts that you might have as a believer of Christianity given that the religion itself is indeed a complex one. Perhaps, the most important question of all would be what is the gospel of Christ?

The truth is that there are distorted views of Christianity that can only be refuted by referring back to the Word of God. Since young believers do not know how to determine false teachings and, moreover, have not read the Bible as much as the others, there is a possibility that they would be led astray by false prophets who have twisted the Word of God for their own benefit.

One of the biggest disputes in the Bible is the concept of eternal security.  It claims that once you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, you will enter the gates of heaven.  What about when that person sins after receiving Jesus?

The topic of post trib rapture also raises a lot of doubts and questions.  Believers must find a source that stays true to the Bible in providing answers.

One of the places where you can find the answers is over the Internet, at the websites that are dedicated to not only building up your spiritual life but also to answering questions about the Bible’s teachings.

Is Imputed Righteousness The Right Way?

Filed under: Charity — publisher @ 12:38 am

Perhaps one of the most discussed concepts of Christianity is that of conditional security, and while some people believe that once you are saved you stay saved for the rest of your life, there are others who believe that you need to work your salvation out.

In trying to know the truth by coming together and discussing these concepts, will there be clarity when it comes to our spiritual lives?

Perhaps there will come a time when we will get to understand whether imputed righteousness is correct or is just a lie. And in not knowing the truth, new believers can be led astray.

There are several sites over the Internet that discuss these important doctrines, clarifying what is the gospel message all about, and how you should follow the teachings of Christ in your daily life.

 Not only will you find comprehensive Christian literature that can help you steady yourself on the narrow path but you can also learn more about living a Christ-like life even if it means going over the basics all over again.

All in all, in learning more about the Bible and its teachings will you be able to strengthen yourself in your Christian faith.

Taking Up Osho Sannyas Will Change You

Filed under: Charity — admin @ 11:35 am

It’s remarkable what Osho has done for the few years that he was with us. In dealing with truth using common sense yet showing such an amazing intellect through his discourses and Tantra books among several others, he did stir up a hornet’s nest but for all the right reasons.

And in doing so, one could only expect more controversy and trouble by the powers-that-be because it obviously didn’t sit well with them that a man of such experience was laughing at their long-held spiritual principles.

Yet this “snide behavior” on his part was obviously again for the best reasons, which you will understand when you purchase an Osho mp3 or discourse that addresses these topics in detail. Of course, with the emphasis on the importance of meditation, most of his followers (and who are also known to take up Osho sannyas) have profited from it in so many ways that Osho remains a part of their lives even until this day.

And if you have never heard of Osho but are interested in knowing more about this great man, one can easily find books and audio recordings of his teachings over the internet at sites that are dedicated to him, and to carry on the good work as well.

Osho is not just an international phenomenon. He was a man who actually changed the way several people understood life through his teaching which consisted of chipping away what was not needed while keeping only what was necessary to live a fruitful life.

Should you donate a used car?

Filed under: Charity — publisher @ 2:02 pm

The first thought of any car owner, with regard to their old car is “I need to sell this to a sucker”. Then, they consider sending it to the junkyard when the “sucker” fails to turn up. What they need to know is that there are many charities across America that call out to people to donate a used car.

The charities will pick up the vehicle you donate (free of charge) and they will also fix it up at their own cost before putting it up for sale. These charity cars are then bought by eligible people. These include:

Military Families

Thos whore medically affected and require a means of transport

Families who are just rejoining the workforce

Families who have lost their home and are in temporary housing shelters

Disaster victims

Persons subjected to domestic violence

Etc.

This act of charity will give you a tangible reward as well. By submitting the receipt of sale from the charity and also by itemizing you tax returns, you can be eligible for tax deduction. If you are thinking about how to donate car Arizona, the internet is your best bet. You can find several charities that operate in the state and definitely find one that is close to you. Don’t worry if you car is in a bad condition. If the charity can’t fix it or if it is too expensive to fix, they will sell the car off for parts and pass that money on to the deserving recipients.
