What Is The Bible Truth?

Continuing from an earlier post I have had more conversations with a Catholic webmaster who challenged me and wanted to tout catholic doctrine above all others. Here is the email thread: So after many replies John replied to me: I suggest you read [the] book THE BIBLICAL BASIS FOR THE PAPACY for starters, in which you will learn that ALL of the early Church Fathers held to the Catholic view of the Papacy. And in [the] latest book THE BIBLICAL BASIS FOR TRADITION which came out last week, [There is] an entire chapter on the Fathers with hundreds of quotes from them proving historically that they not only believed in the papacy and the primacy of the Roman Church, but also apostolic succession, baptismal regeneration, the sacrifice of the Mass, the real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, oral apostolic Tradition, intercessory prayer, Purgatory, and a whole host of other Catholic doctrines which would force any honest non-Catholic to reconsider his position. There are simply hundre...

Coming from the Anglo-Saxon Lencten, meaning “spring,” Lent originated in the ancient Babylonian mystery religion. “The forty days’ abstinence of Lent was directly borrowed from the worshipers of the Babylonian goddess…Among the Pagans this Lent seems to have been an indispensable preliminary to the great annual festival in commemoration of the death and resurrection of Tammuz” (The Two Babylons). Tammuz was the false Messiah of the Babylonians—a satanic counterfeit of Jesus Christ! The Feast of Tammuz was usually celebrated in June (also called the “month of Tammuz”). Lent was held 40 days before the feast, “celebrated by alternate weeping and rejoicing.” This is why Lent means “spring”; it took place from spring to early summer. The Bible records ancient Judah worshipping this false Messiah: “Then He brought me to the door of the gate of the Lord’s house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz” (Ezek. 8:14-15). This was a great abom...

It's Super Bowl Sunday and as I watch the pre-game festivities and see the excitement that people have for the game and the fun I wonder why we as Christians aren't as excited about Jesus the way that so many are pumped about 60 minutes of football. We need to remember what is important in this life and that is how God is present in our lives and how He wants to operate and make a difference. I love football too and I am not saying that Christians shouldn't enjoy the game, but I am saying that we need to have this same sort of zeal everywhere we go as we are witnesses to the lost about how Jesus is Lord and how He saved our souls from Hell. Enjoy the game, but let's get excited about Jesus first and foremost! God Bless You!

I saw the article on CNN's website about the interview that Piers Morgan had with Joel & Victoria Osteen and I had to comment on what I read.  Piers Morgan & Joel Osteen Finally! Joel admits that something is a sin! He didn't come out strongly, but it is a start. We can proclaim something as being a sin without condemnation and I feel that Joel actually did that to a degree by continually pointing to the scripture which is exactly how we should do it, but we should be confident in the Word as it stands. Joel was also asked about prosperity and to a great deal I agree with what he said. There is nothing wrong with having money as long as you love God more. There is a spirit (I believe) that is in the church today that tells us that if we have money we are sinful and that we need to be in lack in order to be holy. I strongly believe that as long as God is first in your life and that you use your money to bless others then God is pleased. Why else would He say "...

I have noticed a trend when it comes to Christians these days and I just had to address it. People are seeking more than just religion or church as usual. I am hearing of new ministries being formed and people going beyond what they were taught or what they have experienced because they feel emptiness inside. Don't worry... I truly believe this is God's way of "stirring up Jerusalem" again for a great move of God. I'll be honest... Most churches are so traditional and so overly cultural that God is left in the background. The pastor has a special seat, there an official/unofficial dress code, the music is more Top 40 or sermons are full of lollipops and rainbows versus the Word of God. Sound familiar? Many are RUNNING away from denominational churches and heading to churches that are non-denominational. They are running away from dogma, traditions and fluff and they are running to where the Word is being taught and needs are being met. Real issues, real hunger a...

My journey to seek the truth in the Bible many times takes many twists and turns and I encounter many people along the way. I never seek to belittle or attack anyone, but I always approach people with the direct Word of God and nothing else. As I subscribe to no denominations, but to Christ directly I have and will continue to interface and refute any tradition or doctrine that is obviously contrary to the Bible. This is controversial, but necessary as souls are on the line. In this post Catholicism is the subject. As I was doing research I came across a site that claimed to back up Catholic doctrine with scriptures so I definitely began to read it and saw that there were many contradictions so I emailed the web-master who did reply to me. Here are the emails in their entirety. ____________________________________________________________________________ Hello John, Greeting in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! I wanted to email you concerning your website [NAME OMIT...

Friends, I cannot stress to you the passion and desire that I have for reaching the lost and helping win them over to Jesus. There are many people searching for answers or aren't sure about the "answers" that they have believed for most of their lives. We as true believers need to have compassion on them and love them as Jesus loved us. Too many people are trying to convert someone to their denomination versus winning them to Christ. We must show love and share the Word of God un filtered and unfettered from the traditions of man or the interpretations of "great men and women of God" as the Bible truly stands alone as a great masterpiece all by itself! Today, take the time to separate your witness from your denomination, bishop, pastor and ideal and simply illuminate God's Word. This is what can truly change the world! God Bless you!
