Religion and Faith as Weapon/War in God's Name

Image
Religion and faith are two different things but in balanced coexistence they have purpose. One without other will have positive impact.Faith is believing and personal relation  with mighty Creator, believing in different things without real proof to be truth. Faith is also known as trust and closely connected with emotion. There are a few stages in faith(intuitive-projecting, mythic-literal, synthetic-conventional, individuative-reflective etc.) and every stage depend on person. Faith as such is usually in relation with religion and it is common in every religion because there could be religion without faith but no faith without religion. Religion is specific life style combined of cultural heritage and specific actions all in order to live according our faith. That specific life style could be quite different from one religion to other or even in one religion during long period of time. Why is that? Because of different circumstances and social exposed to different social probl

Advent

Image
Advent i s the first season in the church calendar. Since the 7th century A.D., Christians have included this celebration in their preparation for Christmas Day.  "The birth of Christ is the central event in the history of the earth—the very thing the whole story has been about."—C.S. Lewis.  The word "advent" originates from the Latin word  advenio  which means  coming to . Advent is the time when we focus on Christ coming to the world. Throughout history, the Israelites anticipated the coming of their Messiah. In the Old Testament, over 400 scriptures and prophecies outline His birth, life, death, resurrection, and return. God had a plan to redeem His people. He declared His plan to His prophets over the centuries and is fulfilling His Word even now.  The word  Advent  means "coming" or "arrival." The focus of the entire season is preparation to celebrate the birth of Jesus the Christ in his First Advent, and the anticipation of the return

Who is Jesus Christ

Image
Jesus has been acclaimed as the greatest religious leader who ever lived, as being the most influential person to have lived on our planet, and as being unique to the degree that no one can be compared to Him. But considering Jesus Christ merely on the basis of an exemplary life and His superior moral teaching will not remove the stumbling blocks to Christianity raised by an unbelieving world. The real test of what one thinks of Him must revolve around who He claimed to be and what He accomplished during His brief mission to our planet. Our conclusion must be that there is no Christianity without Christ; all centers in Him. The predominant theme of the Scriptures is the Person and the work of Jesus Christ. He is God. He became a human being, died by crucifixion, and was buried. He rose again from the dead. He is the only, all-sufficient Savior of the world. He will come again to this earth. Removing this from the Scriptures robs them of all coherent meaning and continuit

How To Be Saved In Jesus

Image
How to be saved -- Why does man need to be saved? How to be saved is the most important quest of any human life. This quest begins when a man or woman first realizes their true state before a holy God. The intimate and sweet fellowship that the Father longed for with man, the crown of His creation, was lost when Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s commandment in the Garden of Eden. When Adam and Eve sinned they lost their right to eat of the tree of life which would have enabled them to live forever. They were expelled from the garden and as such denied the loving relationship that God desired to have with them. Their sinful state made them unfit to linger in the presence of God. Far from being a minor event, this Fall and expulsion of man was the cataclysmic turning point of history and set humanity on a descent which continues to this day. Man without God makes his own plans, follows his own counsels and lives by his own rules. Nevertheless, because man was created for fellowshi

We And Jesus Today

Image
The Jesus I know and believe in is Jesus the Christ, the Son of God. This witness has been revealed to me by the blessing and influence of the  Holy Ghost . I know that He is … the Creator of the world and all that is in it, that He is our Savior who loves each of us and who died on the cross for us, who teaches us compassion and  forgiveness , the friend of all, healer of the sick, the giver of peace to all who will listen and believe. Modern man must not be led astray from ancient and latter-day truths—truths and spiritual experiences that occurred when prophets walked and talked with Jesus. What did Jesus mean to the ancient apostles? What did He mean to Peter? Mark, writing of the events on the morning of the  Resurrection , states that Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James were directed by the [two angels] they encountered as they entered the sepulcher, “Go … tell his disciples and Peter” ( Mark 16:7 ). They were directed specifically to inform Peter. Peter and John
