TRUST YOUR BIBLE. IT'S TRUE!

I read this article from the book, the word for today, writen by Bob Gass- Bob is the author of the book. And i want to share it with you.

The death, burial and the resurrection of Jesus Christ fulfilled no less than twenty-nine different Old Testament prophecies. The odds of that happening are virtually imposible!

 Mathematician Peter stoner explains it this way: 'if you were to cover the states of Texas two feet deep in pound coins, then on one, place a mark. What is the probabilty that a blind person could, on their first attempt, select the coin? that's the likelihood of just eight prophecies being fulfilled in one lifetime. And Jesus fulfilled 29 of them in one day!'.

Let's look  at some prophecies he fulfilled: 

 1) '..... They pierced my hands and ....feet' (psalms 22:16)

2) 'they divided my garments...and...cast lots' (psalms 22:18)

 3)'...in that day...i will make the sun go down at noon, and...darken the earth in...daylight ' (amos 8:9). Jesus predicted both his death and resurrection.Jesus orchestrated every event, includin Judas' betrayal, the high priest's hypocrasies, and peter's denial. why? 'THAT THE WRITINGS OF THE PROPHETS MIGHT BE FULFILLED.'

so you can trust your bible because it is true. and something else is true too. God is able to do immeasurably more than what we ask or imagine (ephesians 3:20). what seems impossible to you at the moment, is all in a day's work for him. so start trusting him to work on your behalf.

CHRISTIAN DOMESTIC DISCIPLINE

Discipline is defined as the training of the mind and body to produce self control, orderliness, obedience and capacity for cooperation. In the army, a soldier is expected to be disciplined and to distinguish himself from civilians. In like manner a christian as a soldier of Christ (II Tim.2:3-4) is expected to be disciplined and to behave differently from unbelievers.

CHRISTIAN DISCIPLINE

we will practically discuss how a christian should discipline himself in the following aspects of life.

1. USE OF TONGUE: (Jas. 3:2-10) This little member can be used positively to offer praises and prayers to God (Jas. 5:13), preach the word (Jas.5:10), confession of sins and our faith (1Jn. 1:9 and II kings 4:25-26), confession unto salvation (Rom. 10:10), turn situations around (Col. 4:6,  Prov. 15:1). It is basically used for good and bad, therefore a christian has to discipline himself or herself  so as not to use the negative aspect of the tongue. When last did you use the words: "Please" and "Thank you" ? Words take their root from unregenerated heart and thereof, an unregenerated tongue. The Bible enjoins us to care for our heart (Prov. 4:23) because it determines our fate. (Matt. 12:37). 
2. MODERATION IN ALL THINGS: (Eating, Sleeping, Dressing, Spending, Over Speeding, etc) - Phil:4:5; Prov. 23:21; Phil. 3:19; Prov. 20:13; 1 Timothy 2:9; Deut 22:5.
3. DEBT OF: Money, Promise or vow, Time, Preaching the gospel, Punctuality, self-control orderliness at meeting.
4. Diligence at Work: Prov. 22:29; 24:30-31

Respect for parents and the law of the land, respect for one another especially elders, ministers, and leaders in the church.

By doing things "Decently and in order" in the church, holiness will surely be reflected in the body of Christ. Our salvation takes us away form certain behaviours and connects us to Christ.  don't forget to like our fanpage on facebook christly minded

IS IT RIGHT: TO JUDGE, TO EXPOSE ERROR AND TO CALL NAMES?

Saw this article on a friends blog and decided to share it with you all. here it is. (source: acts1711daily.com)

Many today believe that it is wrong to expose error and to name names. Liberals have always seemed to believe this, but in recent times it has been widely espoused by evangelicals and charismatics. Now we are seeing the same fatal error being declared by those who profess to be Bible believing fundamentalists. Those who are faithful in exposing error according to the Bible are now being widely denounced, and are accused of being unloving and unkind. In this tract we intend to present the teaching of the Bible on this vital subject.

I. It Is Right To Practice Biblical Judgment

One of the most misused verses in the Bible is, “Judge not, that ye be not judged” (Matt. 7: 1). Every Scripture verse should be read in its context, if we are to properly understand the true meaning. In vs. 2-5 of this same chapter it is evident that v. 1 is referring to hypocritical judgment. A brother who has a beam in his own eye should not be judging the brother who may have a mote in his eye. The lesson is plain, you cannot judge another for his sin if you are guilty of the same sin.

Those who cling to “Judge not, that ye be not judged, ” to condemn those who expose error should read the entire chapter. Jesus said, “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing… ” (v. 15). How can we know false prophets unless we judge them by the Word of God? If we know the false prophets, how can we fail to exam the sheep of these “ravening wolves?” All through the Bible we find proof that they should be identified and exposed.
“Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit” (vs. 16,17). Did the Lord mean that we could not judge the tree (person), by the fruit of their life and doctrine? Certainly not, for you cannot know without judging. All judgment should be on the basis of Bible teaching, not according to whims or prejudices.
“Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment ” (John 7:24). Here our Lord commands that we are to “judge righteous judgment, ” which is judgment based upon the Word of God. If judgment is made upon any other basis, other than the Word of God, it is a violation of Matt. 7: 1. Webster’s Dictionary says that a judge is “one who declares the law. ” The faithful Christian must discern or judge on the basis of God’s inspired law, the Bible.
A fornicator is described in I Cor. 5:1-13. Paul “judged” (v.3) the man even though he was absent, and he told the Church at Corinth that they were to “judge” (v. 12) those that were within. The Greek word for “judge” is the same here as in Matt. 7: 1. Paul did not violate “judge not, that ye be not judged, ” in judging the man, nor in instructing the Church to judge also. All of this judgment was according to the Word of God.
A person who is able to discern between good and evil, has at least one of the major marks of spiritual maturity. “But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil” (Heb. 5:14). W.E. Vine says of the meaning of discern, “a distinguishing, a clear discrimination, discerning, judging; is translated ‘discerning’ in I Cor. 12: 10 of discerning spirits, judging by evidence whether they are evil or of God. ” Strong also agrees that it means to judge.

5 reason that God Exist

     Just of recent a webmaster decided he won't serve God anymore because he believe God allowed suffering, he said if there is a God, there should be no suffering. Furthermore he concluded that he want to be an atheist.

    Being an atheist is believing that there is no God. Do you really thinks that there is no God?
do you really think that we just fall from another planet and became adult? but there is a God, a all knowing God, A loving God.
You can't search for something you know doesn't exist. The claim that God doesn't exist is self contradictory.

    I am going to prove to you that there is a God without the use of the bible. don't be surprised. Of course there are diverse ways to prove the existence of a powerful God that is "greater than the greatest"
"higher than the highest" "better than the best".

This might not be a new thing to you, but i will be using the acronym "GODLY" to prove the existence of God.

how to prove the existence of God using The term "GODLY"

using this term Godly we are going to prove that our God, Jehovah God exist.

• G = Genetics

A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes, which are made up of DNA, act as instructions to make molecules called proteins. In humans, genes vary in size from a few hundred DNA bases to more than 2 million bases. The Human Genome Project has estimated that humans have between 20,000 and 25,000 genes.

Every person has two copies of each gene, one inherited from each parent. Most genes are the same in all people, but a small number of genes (less than 1 percent of the total) are slightly different between people. Alleles are forms of the same gene with small differences in their sequence of DNA bases. These small differences contribute to each person’s unique physical features. (source:ghr.nlm.nih.gov )

                                                       THE HUMAN DNA 

DNA which stands for DeoxyriboNucleic Acid. this contains every thing you can think of about the human body, from the nose you got from Dad to how you behave are stored in the DNA. 

An important property of DNA is that it can replicate, or make copies of itself. Each strand of DNA in the double helix can serve as a pattern for duplicating the sequence of bases. This is critical when cells divide because each new cell needs to have an exact copy of the DNA present in the old cell.

With all the functions of this DNA do you think that this DNA whatever decides on its own to have this function and power or do you think it was created and designed?

•  O = Origin

Everything that has a beginning will also have an ending and vice versa. In Mathematics and Physics, when working with the Graph, velocity, acceleration and other things, there is something they call point of initial or origin. How come we all believe that in mathematics and not about the earth and the universe. And if there is an origin then there must be an "originator".

                                                                     The EARTH

 The earth is something that is so exceptional in all it's attribute. well organized, well structured, well tilted to the center, not too far away from the sun, neither is is too close to the sun. good landscape, and topography. if scientist are too design something that is same as earth, believe me you it is going to take them 1000 century. In fact they can't even complete it.

• D = Design

Every designs have a designer, sure you know that why do i need to tell you that. take the universe for example, it has a great design that no other gods or person can ever create. but people still believe with all this, that it just evolve because it choose to evolve.

Why is it that you didn't choose to evolve but come through you mother?

why is it that it is only the first human on earth are the ones who evolve an apart from that nobody has been evolving? but they rather come through a woman.

• L = Laws

The force (f) of attraction between two particles is directly proportional to the product of their mass M1 and M2 are inversely proportional to the square of their distance apart.

There are laws that govern the physical entities and matter. there are so many laws that are universal today, but people are neglecting the laws of the lord. forsaking his commandment.

• Y = Yield

What will the believe in God yield? of course it will yield good thins, eternal life, success, prosperity and lets not forget that believing in God, also brings also persecution from the people of the world, great temptations of our faith from the devil.

but be steadfast and holding strongly to God's word.

People who obey God's law, pray to God have little or no blood pressure,are hospitalized less, have stronger immune system and are likely to live longer and overall live healthier.

HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT JESUS CHRIST REAL?

    Before you continue reading the content of this article, i want you to know the plan i have for this blog. you might ask, what is that plan? now this is the plan- i want this blog to get to every individual on the internet, and we all know this is not an easy task where i myself can accomplish. Therefore, using this opportunity to ask you to please share this blog and articles on this blog to friends and families and other places you can. phew! that was not easy.
     So back to our topic..... "HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT JESUS IS REAL?". This questions most of us ask daily, and others like (who is Jesus Christ?, is Jesus Christ the Lord?) sometimes don't get the answers to it.
This made me, taking my time to read the Bible, and doing research about those questions.

ARE THERE ANY REASON THAT JESUS CHRIST EXISTED?
        Yes! Yes, there is good evidence that he was what is known as a "Hebrew Mystic". Although he was a rabbi, his teachings put him in the fringe of Jewish teachings. But recognize that above all, he was Jewish and that he would have never done or said anything to deny his heritage or beliefs.
The writings of Josephus as well as many of the other writings of the time all verify that there was a real man named Jesus Christ, who had a strong following, and a relatively small but devout group of Jews who were loyal to his teachings following his death who continued to cause trouble for the Roman leadership. But many of the common modern traditions about Jesus have their genesis in the reign of Constantine. Until Constantine, nobody had been able to unite Europe. He accomplished this by including a little of each of the older European religions and incorporating them into his new "universal" religion. Understand that "Catholic" is roughly translated to mean "universal".
There is no question that the man Jesus did in fact exist and that his followers were loyal and that he was killed in much the way described, but there is much myth and exaggeration associated with Christian dogma.

Jesus also said that "Blessed are those who didn't see yet they believed" [John 20.29] ..(these are my own words)

The fact that some group of people believe in him, is another thing to ponder upon.
with the things he has done, we believe he is real..

There was this herbalist who didn't believe in Jesus Christ, but one day he got to know that Jesus was real- how? He was trying to use his powers on a sick king, to help him recover from his illness, tried all he knew, nothing worked. so the king sent for a pastor after he has been brief about his the works that the pastor has been doing. 
when the pastor arrived, the herbalist or should i say the native Doctor, said that there is nothing the pastor can do to save the king, but when the man of God called the name of Jesus and command the sickness to come out, immediately the king receive his healing.

The native doctor was suprise and surrendered everything, and ask for Christ to be is one and only savior..
the bible says that "at the mention of Jesus Christ every kneels must bow" [Philippians 2.10] .

                                               ABOUT JESUS CHRIST 
Jesus Christ is the son of God. 

John 1
In the beginning  was the Word [Jesus] already existed.
      The Word was with God,
      and the Word was God.
He was in the beginning with God. God created everything through him,
      and nothing was created except through him.
The Word which is Jesus Christ gave life to all creations, and human beings receive light through him
He came into the very world he created, but the world didn't recognize him. He came to his own people, and even they rejected him. But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. They are reborn--not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God.
So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father's one and only Son. Every questions you have about Jesus Christ, and Who Jesus Christ is, you can find it all in the epistle of John.

this below are ktoddweaver's statement  gotten from one of his videos from youtube

If you really want to sit down and study to know if Jesus Christ existed or not, you can go to the library and read very reliable scource's with NON - FICTIONAL BOOKS. I had pointed this out, because it reminded me of the exact way I wanted to bypass bible literature

So not did I only find the information I needed through reliable scources, I also know that Christianity can be traced all the way down through 431AD 381AD 212AD to 150AD to 90AD plus! All which had to do with the evidence that there was a man named Jesus Christ who was cruxified, and many numbers of disciple to the newly founded faith of Christianity, along with different ways Christians were martyred and the list goes on.  you  can watch this video at  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNGt30vuu54
