Christ be magnified

 In our world today - There are people who are not in Christ.

"Do you think I am a man that will not get things right the first time?" -Quote

This could be a powerful insight.

Please read along; you may want to answer the two questions inputted in this text.

Records show that there are thousands of other belief systems outside Christ -including the very popular one you know or you probably practice.

I have found that most of these other faiths -whilst some outrightly take Jesus Christ out of the picture and by extension comfortable with the few followers they have - others are careful to acknowledge Jesus but would rather convince their followers not to make Him the center point.

Four things are common with the pioneers of most of these belief systems that are outside Christ [Christianity] -including the popular one.

1. They believe Jesus was a messenger or a prophet as such; and believe the comforter [Spirit of Truth] which Jesus mentioned to come after He had gone is now the founder or Leader or Pioneer of their new faith.

2. Some belief systems completely trash the Bible [they will tell you; put that 'thing' away, these ones only have few followers and are comfortable. The popular ones however -including the very popular one - are careful to acknowledge the Holy Bible but believe along with their followers that the Bible is doctored, manipulated and inconsistent.

3. They believe Christians magnify Jesus over God.

4. They do not believe Jesus died for us and that He never rose up the third day.

They believe it is the people that killed Jesus. Let me note quickly that, it is not W-E [the people] that killed Jesus; it is W-ILL [the agenda of God] that allowed Him to die to pay the price for the SIN that once separated us from the Father. Gal. 1:4

Notably, there is a class of people that are indifferent in all 'this'. But are offended by the hypocrisy of some individuals who claim to be in Christ. They feel something is not right with the way the church system is ran. Actually, they don't just care.

Two questions:

1. Do you agree that the Bible is a Holy Book of God?

If yes to question 1

2. Do you think that God would allow His book to carry false or manipulated writings?

My conclusion:

God is not a man that wouldn't get things right the first time.

Whatever scripture you read in the Bible that is not clear -has a clearer version in subsequent books/chapters in the same Bible. You only need to read through [holistically] and gain better understanding.

Have the right perspective and align your motive.

All the books in the old testaments as found in the Bible were written by the early prophets that came before Christ. And they all pointed to the coming of Jesus. They prepared the way for Jesus Christ.

The new testament reminds us of who we are now 'in Christ' and how to walk in our victory.

Jesus on the cross of Calvary said "IT IS FINISHED"

This statement is what confirms our salvation.

Jesus says "Whoever calls unto my name shall be saved"

Fact

-------

The Bible confirmed that the comforter [Spirit of Truth] "shall be IN US" -meaning inside us. John 14: 17

Jesus was referring to the Holy Spirit. Eph 1:13

There are individuals who write "supposedly" autobiographies on behalf of people HOWEVER before the books can be published [because it is autobiography not biography] they must be read [or read to], corrected and approved by the person on whose names the books are written.

God cannot get it wrong with His first book; The Holy Bible.

Friends; in this same book -It is written in 1st Timothy 2:5

"For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus."

Let's have a conversation please!

I honestly feel [I should have said common sense, but I don't want to offend your sensitivity] that God is not a man who wouldn't get things right the first time.

"But autobiographies can be upgraded" I hear someone say

Remember Jesus said IT IS FINISHED.
