CHRISTIANITY.

Science Verses Religion The majority of the people in the world hold one of two basic beliefs on when life began.  One belief is based on scientific and archeological evidence.  The other belief is based on the creation story as told in the book of Genesis.  “Which is myth, God or Evolution?  Louis Boundure, director of Frances Strasbourg Zoological Museum and professor of biology at the University of Strasbourg, stated: Evolution is a fairy tale for grownups.  This theory has helped nothing in the progress of science.  It is useless.”(14[pg. 3]) Due to the lack of evidence for the theory of evolution as presented by Darwin, scientists are starting to accept the idea of an intelligent designer.  This idea is the basic concept of the creation story as told in the book of Genesis.  “ ‘Certainly not all scientists agree that no Creator exists and that we as human beings are the product of random chance. In 1972 the California State ...

The following article applies to all denominations in the world today and it does not apply to the members of any church denomination.  It applies only to the OFFICIALS WHO RUN THE CHURCH.  So, before all of you critics head out to the shed for your pitch forks and torches, please read the article first.  Then you can head for the pitchforks.   We are all truly one church and as long as a person believes in Jesus Christ as the Son of God we are all one family under God.  The caveat here is that you must stand on the Word of God alone, the Bible. "Five hundred years ago, Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses—and the world has never been the same since. But what has not changed is the Word of God and the truths in the Word that gave Luther the theological foundation to challenge Rome...Luther found the great truth of “justification by faith” alone. "It was in regard to this truth, too, that Luther—defying the powers and principalities of the wo...

Galatians 1:6-8(6) I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, (7) which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. (8) But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. Galatians 4:8-10(8) But then, indeed, when you did not know God, you served those which by nature are not gods. (9) But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how  is it that  you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage? (10) You observe days and months and seasons and years.  (New King James Version) "Paul penned the book of Galatians because church members in Galatia were turning away from the true gospel and had embraced a false one ( Galatians 1:6-7 ). Early on, Paul had to establish his credentials - that  the gospel  ...

  1Thessalonians 1:9 says that “They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might”.   What is Paul’s message here? The Bible records, see Acts 16 and 17, that Paul did not have a good experience when he visited Thessalonica.   Paul was beaten illegally and then put into prison.   They then forced him to leave the city by night because unbelieving Jews brought false charges against Paul.   Paul did not give up, he made several attempt to return but he was hindered by Satan. “But when we were separated from you, brothers and sisters, for a short time (in presence, not in affection) we became all the more fervent in our great desire to see you in person. For we wanted to come to you (I, Paul, in fact tried again and again) but Satan thwarted us” (1 Thessalonians 2:17-18). In this first letter to the Thessalonian Church Paul was concerned about the progress of the church ...

The Christian Bible well documents the idea in many scriptures that there are angels who God directs to minister to humans. These angels do not contact humans on their own and humans cannot contact them. That is not without God's express permission. This is talking about God's angels, not all angels. There are angels that were created by God, that chose to rebel against God. Satan is one of them. When he rebelled, he took one third of all angels that were created by God with him. These are what most Christians refer to as Fallen angels or demons. These angels, along with Satan , can and will communicate with you.  They will do this for one reason and one reason only. The reason is to deceive you. These angels that communicate with humans are not dead people. They are a creation of God, created as an angel that dwells in the spiritual realm. The Bible does not teach nor will you find any scripture that supports the idea that the dead come ba...

The contemporary Christian doctrine on heaven is quite simply a false doctrine. The Bible does not teach that when Christians die, they are immediately whisked to heaven to be with God. This is a Pagan doctrine instituted by the early church in order to make it easier for people to convert from their various religions, with their different beliefs and practices, to Christianity. Contemporary Christian doctrine uses the verse, Genesis 5:24, "And Enoch walked with God: and he [was] not; for God took him" , as proof of heaven. They interpret this verse as God taking Enoch up into heaven to be with Him. First of all, so far in the scriptures are concerned, there is no passage in the Bible which specifically teaches us that God has taken anyone into heaven to be with Him, except for His Son Jesus Christ. The Bible does mention a resurrection where the righteous, including Christians, will be taken by Jesus into heaven at which time they will receive their reward. Thi...

That is by studying the scriptures, the word of God. If you do not understand what the scriptures are trying to tell you, you will be in for a big surprise at the end of this age! Contemporary Christianity would have you believe that when you die your soul and\or your spirit goes on living separate from your body. Christians believe that the good go to heaven and the bad go to hell. The problem is, the Bible does not teach this. The only way you can establish this concept is by taking scriptures and interpreting them out of context. Your soul and your spirit do not exist separate from the body. Your body is powered by your spirit which in turn generates your soul. Without the body, the spirit has nothing to power and therefore the soul can not be generated. Contemporary Christian doctrine teaches that dying is like going through a door. You will often hear the phrase when someone is near death, "he/she is a deaths door". The problem is what Christians believe i...

@WEPromote It should only matter to yourself. http://t.co/9fYxDSR7ET — Robert Richard (@tripler5064) July 12, 2013 Abstinence is a word that is used in Christianity that does more to bringing harm in leading people to Christ than it does good.  The reason probably is that when and where it is used it is not with the full understanding of what scripture actually says.  As with many issues in life, a lot of Christians try to boil them down into passages that are taken out of context and then misinterpreted to fit their own agendas. The definition of abstain from THE MIRIAM WEBSTER ONLINE DICTIONARY - abstain is; " to refrain deliberately and often with an effort of self-denial from an action or practice".  To fully understand this definition, refrain needs to also be defined, it has a meaning to " keep under control" " to limit, restrict , or keep under control" .  The other word is "refrain" which means "To hold oneself back...
