Things New and Old

Ancient truths revealed in the Scriptures are often forgotten, disbelieved or distorted, and therefore lost in the passage of time. Such ancient truths when rediscovered and relearned are 'new' additions to the treasury of ancient truths.

Christ showed many new things to the disciples, things prophesied by the prophets of old but hijacked and perverted by the elders and their traditions, but which Christ reclaimed and returned to His people.

Many things taught by the Apostles of Christ have been perverted or substituted over the centuries. Such fundamental doctrines like salvation by grace and justification have been hijacked and perverted and repudiated by sincere Christians. These doctrines need to be reclaimed and restored to God's people.

There are things both new and old here. "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things"
2Ti 2:7.

Jesus GIVES life freely, He does not offer life

 


December 10, 2017

Did Jesus offer you eternal life, or
Did Jesus freely give eternal life to you WHEN you were in your native state of sin and death?

Jesus GIVES eternal life freely, He does not offer eternal life to the spiritually dead

John11
41 ... And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

Only AFTER Jesus Christ Himself HAD GIVEN life to Lazarus, He commanded the disciples to do something for Lazarus.

Jesus, Himself ALONE gives eternal salvation; the disciples are instrumental to bring temporal salvation.

Those who say that Jesus offers life to the dead make Jesus appear like an idiot, and betray themselves to be true idiots... because they know it is insane to offer anything to the dead and expect the dead to receive it!

I know the Chinese ancestral worshipers offer roast pig and cognac to the dead... but end up consuming those things themselves! They are the shrewdest folks on earth, and very superstitious too!
