Jesus
Christ said in John 15:18-19: "If
the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of
the world, the world would love his own: but
because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world,
therefore the world hateth you."
These are
clear words of our Lord. But what is the reality? How many who claim to be
Christians are actually hated by the world? How many who claim to be
Christians, still believe unbroken to the revealed word of God in the Bible? To
find answers, we compare again, what the world teaches us and what God us
teaches in His Word! Then we look at, which teaching will be do today believed!
The world teaches us that the earth and all life
millions of years ago by a "Big Bang" have emerged. This doctrine is
widely accepted and is taught in schools! A great many people who call
themselves Christians, are agree with this theory.
God tells us, that He had created the earth and all
life, in seven days with 24 hours. When you study in the Bible, then you can
find out that this was done, around six thousand years ago. This doctrine will
be rejected by many people, also of so-called Christians.
Both of
these Event history cannot be proved, because no today alive human, has
personally seen. Thus, there is no eyewitnesses in both cases; therefore is
needs the faith!
The world teaches us, that the human is descended from
apes, and has evolved over thousands of years, to what he is today. This
doctrine is also widely accepted and is taught to our children. There are Christians
that also believe in this theory.
God teaches us, that he had formed man out of
clay, made him godlike and breathed into him the breath of life. He also
teaches, that he has done this in a day, so that, the human had to not needed
to develop; because since his creation he was always what he is today. Even
this doctrine today will be rejected by many people, even many Christians.
Here again
we have the same dilemma. Of both teaching, there are no living witnesses, so
here also faith is needed!
Because in
these examples, the faith is always necessary, I want to you explain again, the
importance of the concept of faith: "The English word Faith, is in the
here discussed sense used as a translation of the Greek noun pistis with the
basic meaning „loyalty, trust." The associated verb is pisteuein ("be
faithful, trust"). The primary meaning was: "I put trust in ... I tie
my existence at ... I'm true to ...". The word therefore aims confidence,
obedience (compare: vow, betrothal), faithfulness. “ (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaube)
A prayer of
Christians begins with the words: "I believe in God ..." Is this
today really the case?
The
Christian world has taught since the year 321 after Christ that Sunday is the
Lord's Day and the day of rest is. This secular doctrine can be proved on the
basis of history. The world and so-called Christians are agree with this
theory, and on Sundays are not working.
God has been teaching since of creation; remember
the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Six
days you shall labour and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God.
Thou shalt on this day not working do, and thy son, and thy daughter, thy
manservant, and thy maidservant, and your cattle, nor your stranger within your
gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and
all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. This doctrine we
do not find, in history books of the human; we find only in the Bible. The
early Christians sanctified this until such time, as a church law that was
decided at the Council of Laodicea (343-381 AD), it forbade them under threat
of punishment. This in turn can be found in the history books. ("Christians should not be
idly by kind of Jews on the Sabbath, but rather should work on that day.
Christians have to give preference the Lord's Day (Sunday) and rest as
Christians, if they must not work. But if they invented as Judaizing, they are
of Christ excluded. ")

I believe
in God? Is that with to them so, or they believe the world?
At the end
of my today article, I would like due to some criticism I've gotten, to
emphasize once again: I have never and will never claim that my posts is the
only correct interpretation of God's Word. I do see my posts not as
interpretation. I am aware that I am only a sinful man, and like everyone else,
I need the mercy of God. My posts are thoughts and inspirations that I have
during Bible study and prayer, and should serve as an inspiration for his own
Bible study.
As so
often, I want to emphasize again how important it today is to consider itself
in the Bible, all what you heard and read. Every person takes the time for what
he loves the most. Everyone which loves Christ, should take daily time, which
he spends with Bible reading and prayer.
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be
sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the
revelation of Jesus Christ; As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves
according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called
you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is
written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. And if ye call on the Father, who without
respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your
sojourning here in fear: Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with
corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by
tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb
without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the
foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, Who by
him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory;
that your faith and hope might be in God. Seeing ye have purified your souls in
obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see
that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: Being born again, not of
corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and
abideth for ever. Ford all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the
flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But
the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the
gospel is preached unto you. Amen (1. Peter 1, 13-25)
