The Truth

  APA SAJA? Allah berfirman, “Lalu TUHAN melihat, bahwa kejahatan manusia [besar] di bumi, dan [bahwa] setiap niat hatinya hanya selalu jahat. Dan TUHAN menyesal bahwa Dia telah menjadikan manusia di bumi, dan Dia sedih di dalam hati-Nya. Maka TUHAN berfirman, "Aku akan membinasakan manusia yang telah Aku ciptakan dari muka bumi, baik manusia maupun binatang, binatang melata, dan burung-burung di udara, karena Aku menyesal telah menjadikan mereka" (Kejadian 6:5- 7). Para pengkhotbah berkata, "Karena begitu besar kasih Allah akan dunia ini sehingga Dia mengaruniakan Anak-Nya yang tunggal, sehingga siapa pun yang percaya kepada-Nya tidak binasa tetapi memiliki hidup yang kekal." (Yohanes 3:16). Yesus berkata, "Jangan mengira bahwa Aku datang untuk membawa damai di bumi. Aku datang bukan untuk membawa damai, melainkan pedang." (Matius 10:34). Para pengkhotbah berkata, "Karena begitu besar kasih Allah akan dunia ini sehingga Dia mengaruniakan Anak-Nya yan...

  WHAT IN THE HELL? God said, “Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the earth, and [that] every intent of the thoughts of his heart [was] only evil continually. And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. So the LORD said, "I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them" (Genesis 6:5-7). Preachers recited, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16). Jesus said, "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword.” (Matthew 10:34). Preachers recited, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16). Jesus said, "If your right ey...

  PERTANYAAN PENTING   Saya ingin mengajukan pertanyaan yang sangat penting tentang KESELAMATAN kita. Dan jawabannya harus MUDAH karena pertanyaannya sederhana. Pertanyaannya adalah - apakah Adam dan Hawa diselamatkan sebelum mereka mengabaikan Hukum dan Perintah Tuhan untuk tidak memakan buah terlarang? Dengan kata lain, apakah mereka masih memiliki hidup yang kekal jika mereka tidak makan buah dan mengikuti perintah Tuhan? Jawabannya adalah YA mutlak. Mengapa mereka kehilangan kehidupan kekal mereka? Mengapa Tuhan mengusir mereka dari Taman Eden? Jika Anda bertanya kepada Pendeta dan Pengkhotbah Anda, mereka akan mengatakan bahwa Adam dan Hawa gagal melakukan pekerjaan mereka - ikuti perintah Tuhan. Betul sekali. Jika mereka mengikuti apa yang Tuhan perintahkan, mereka akan tetap menikmati hidup di Taman Eden yang indah. Tapi tidak, mereka ingin menjadi seperti Tuhan - mereka ingin memiliki kemampuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan antara yang baik dan yang jahat, seperti Tuhan, ...

  IMPORTANT QUESTION   I want to ask a very important question about our SALVATION. And the answer should be EASY because the question is simple. The question is this - was Adam and Eve saved before they ignored God’s Laws and Commandments not to eat the forbidden fruit? In other words, would they still have their eternal life if they had not eaten the fruits and had followed God’s orders? The answer is an absolute YES. Why did they lose their eternal life? Why did God evict them from the Garden of Eden? If you ask your Pastors and Preachers, they would say that Adam and Eve failed to do their work - follow God’s orders. That’s right. If they had followed what God had told them to do, they would still enjoy living in the beautiful Garden of Eden. But no, they want to be like God - they want to have the ability to know the difference between good and evil, like God, even though that means that they have to go against God’s orders (Genesis 2:17). Was Lucifer saved before God evi...

Tuhan menyukai harmoni. Hukum-Nya selaras satu sama lain. Dia ingin kita hidup selaras dengan Dia. Dia ingin kita hidup selaras dengan Hukum-Nya. Dan Dia ingin kita hidup rukun satu sama lain. Itulah alasan utama mengapa Dia memberi Musa Hukum-Nya - Sepuluh Hukum, dan perintah-perintah-Nya yang lain yang ditemukan di dalam Taurat sehingga kita dapat hidup selaras dengan-Nya dan dengan satu sama lain. Dan lihatlah, seorang pengacara tertentu berdiri dan menguji Dia, berkata, "Guru, apa yang harus saya lakukan untuk mewarisi hidup yang kekal?" Dia berkata kepadanya, "Apa yang tertulis dalam hukum? Apa yang kamu baca [tentang itu]?" Jadi dia menjawab dan berkata, "'Kasihilah Tuhan, Allahmu, dengan segenap hatimu, dengan segenap jiwamu, dengan segenap kekuatanmu, dan dengan segenap akal budimu,' dan 'sesamamu seperti dirimu sendiri.'" Dan Dia berkata kepada dia, "Jawabanmu benar; lakukan ini dan kamu akan hidup." Lukas 19:25-28. Yesus...

God loves harmony. His Laws are in harmony with each other. He wants us to live in harmony with Him. He wants us to live in harmony with His Laws. And He wants us to live in harmony with each other. That was the primary reason why He gave Moses His Laws - The Ten Commandments, and His other commandments found in the Torah so that we could live in harmony with Him and with each other.  And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" He said to him, "What is written in the law? What is your reading [of it]?" So he answered and said, "`You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,' and `your neighbor as yourself.'" And He said to him, "You have answered rightly; do this and you will live." Luke 19:25-28. Jesus said to the lawyer and to us that we should love Him with all our hearts, with all our souls,...

  POTENCY “ Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” Genesis 2:24. I want to talk a little bit today not about why a man or a woman leaves his/her parents, but why a man or a woman leaves his wife or her husband after they become “one flesh.” Why does a man or woman separate from each other after they are married for three months or after they have a 3-year- old baby? The Bible says in Matthew 19:6, “"So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate."  When a married couple is divorced, who separates them? Why do they separate and not stay together until one of them dies? Doesn’t the Bible say that what God has joined together, let no man separate? This is not an easy question to answer. Why? Because there may be 1001 good answers why do they separate and they can all be valid answers.  My short answer is that they are in a rush to become “one f...
