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.

Theology bores Today's Christians

To learn about God's person, nature, and will is Theology;
Yet so many of God's children disdain theology. 

A soundly converted Christian loves and embraces theology because the Holy Bible is filled with it. To learn about God's person, nature, and will is Theology.

Sadly, we have lukewarm Christians who are narcissistic and want self-help messages and twist Scripture to fit their agenda. The majority who are self-professed Christians are deceived, and it will take the power of the Holy Ghost to open their eyes.
