"Be tolerant"," look the other way", "if it feels good, do it" "if it doesn't hurt anybody, it's OK"! This seems to be where our country is going. People will say they have rights to do what they want too, but that doesn't make what they are doing right in the sight of God. You might say that you believe the Bible, just not all of it. What parts don't you believe? Is it the parts that are convicting you of sin? You either have to believe all of the Bible, or none of it and say it is fiction. You cannot just take the parts that go along with the way you believe and say that the rest of it isn't true.
The Bible is the written Word of God. This isn't some new revelation that someone had or some new idea that sounded good because it didn't tell you that you are a sinner. Maybe someone has come up with another testament of Jesus Christ. How do you validate something like that? The Bible proves itself to be true by the prophecies in the Old Testament coming true in the New Testament. These false religions tell you what is true because they say it is. They will tell you that something is going to take place and it doesn't happen. These are called false prophets. Their prophecies did not come to pass, so what they told you is a lie. If you cannot trust what they tell you to be true, why would you put your eternal destiny in something that might or might not be true?
I have had people tell me that the Bible contradicts itself, but no one has shown me where this is in the Bible. I'm sure that you have heard this also. Next time someone tells you there is contradictions in the Bible, ask them to show you where it is at. God tells us that prophecy never came by the will of man.
2Peter;1:19-21
(So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shinning in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.)
If someone is telling you something and they are supposedly talking from God, then it better take place or they are not talking from the Holy Spirit. God cannot lie.
Hebrews;6:18
(so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us.)
Titus;1:2
( in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised long ages ago,)
[OLD TESTAMENT]
How would the prophets of the old testament know that Jesus was going to be born of a virgin hundreds of years after their death unless Holy Spirit had told them?
Isaiah;7:14
(Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call his name Immanuel.)
Isaiah;9:6
(For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.)
[NEW TESTAMENT]
Now this prophecy was fulfilled when the virgin Mary gave birth to Jesus Christ our God and Savior.
Matthew;1:23
("Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us.")
This is just one of the many Old Testament prophecies that have been fulfilled. They prove themselves to be true over and over. Don't take my word for it, you need to study the Scriptures for yourself. That is the only way that you will be sure of what I'm saying. It is no different than when one of the cults shows up at your door telling you that they have the answers to all the world's woes. They don't have the answers because they have been deceived by a false teacher. If you ask them who Jesus Christ is, they will deny that He is God the Son.
Do not listen to them because they will lead you astray.
I have told you over and over again in this blog that you have to put your faith in Jesus Christ of the Bible. I will continue to tell you this because it is our only hope of eternal life in Heaven. You cannot work your way in, buy your way in, be good enough to get in, sneak in or hope for some other way. Jesus says that He is the only way and I believe him. The Scriptures tell us that He is the only way to have eternal life. The pray that this Christmas season you will give your life to Jesus and join God's family. Thank Jesus for the gift of life and remember that He had to die on the cross for you and I to have this precious gift.
God Bless You!
