CAN WE BE PERFECT?

  Jesus said, "Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.” Matthew 5:48 Can we be perfect as humans? Can we be perfect as our Father in heaven is perfect? I have thought about this for a long time. Can we be perfect, or can we not? Finally, I came to the conclusion that yes we can. Yes, we can. “Be perfect” is God’s clear order to us. And I  believe that He is not going to order us to do something that we cannot do. You can be perfect too. How do we do it? First, I want my readers to understand that becoming perfect is neither a simple nor an easy process. I believe the way that we can be perfect is to avoid sin. But we have to work hard if we want to avoid sin, and that is how we can achieve perfection - avoid sin . Sin is incompatible with God's perfection. God is perfect because He is blameless.  Job was also perfect because he was blameless in the eyes of God. And we know that Adam and Eve were perfect too before they violated God’s law...

THE SACRIFICIAL LAW

Readers, today I want to talk a little bit about the Sacrificial Law. I don’t believe I have written enough on this subject in the past. Why? Because I thought that that was the reason why He came down to earth, to pay for our sin. I was wrong. I could find no verse in the Bible where Jesus had said that He died to pay for our sin. He died to defend us, or He died for what He believed makes good sense. But to say that He died to pay for our sin is not only hyperbole, but it is also delusiona l thinking. I think many Christian churches spread this nonsense to make us feel guilty so that we will give money to the church, and that is wrong !  Very wrong! Let members of the church sell their expensive jewelries and give that to the church as a sacrificial offering instead of making church members feel guilty! Jesus said ,  "If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast [it] from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your wh...

SAYA MERASA SEPERTI SAMPAH

Yesus berkata, "Dunia tidak dapat membencimu, tetapi ia membenci Aku karena Aku bersaksi bahwa perbuatannya jahat." Yohanes 7:7. Pernahkah Anda bertanya-tanya mengapa Dia berbicara seperti itu tentang kita - orang berdosa? Dia ingin kita merasa seperti sampah. Tahukah Anda mengapa? Karena Dia ingin kita bertobat . Dia tahu bahwa kita penuh dengan omong kosong. Tapi apakah kita tahu bahwa kita penuh dengan sampah? Tidak, kita tidak tahu itu. Dan pengkhotbah juga tidak tahu itu. Waktu Anda mendengar pengkhotbah berbicara di gereja kebanyakan mengatakan hal-hal baik tentang kita. Apakah pengkhotbah tahu apa yang kita lakukan di belakang mereka? Tidak , mereka tidak tahu apa yang kita lakukan secara rahasia. Tetapi Yesus tahu apa yang kita pikirkan dan apa yang kita lakukan secara rahasia. Dia dapat membaca pikiran kita dan Dia dapat melihat apa yang kita lakukan dan Dia dapat mendengar apa yang kita katakan dari atas. Dan itulah sebabnya Dia mengatakan apa yang Dia katakan dalam...

I FEEL LIKE CRAP

Jesus said, "The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil .” John 7:7. Have you ever wondered why He talked like that about us - sinners? He wanted to make us feel like crap. Do you know why? Because He wanted us to repent . He knows that we are full of crap. But do we know that we are full of crap? No, we do not know that. And preachers do not know that either.  When you hear preachers talk in church most say good things about us. Do preachers know what we do behind their backs? No, they do not know what we do in secret. But Jesus knows what we think and what we do in secret. He can read our minds and He can see what we do and He can hear what we say from high above. And that's why He said what He said in John 7:7 about us. Why do preachers say good things about us when they do not know what we do and say behind their backs? Do you know why? Do you want to know why? Because if they talk about the evils that humans do, people will ...

GOD THE FATHER KILLED BILLIONS OF SINNERS

  “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 Multiple choice questions for my beloved readers. Whom was God the Father referring to when He said “every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually ” ? In today's terms, whom was God the Father referring to? Engineers Deceivers, thieves, and cyberpunks Physicians, or Janitors In John 7:7 Jesus said to His disciples, "The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify that its works are evil." When are preachers going to start talking about the evils of the world ? This is the message that the wor...

JUDAS ISCARIOT

Harming people who have done no wrong to us is very  wrong ! And taking  bribes to harm people who have done no wrong to us is worst - a serious first-degree crime . That's what Judas Iscariot did to Jesus. He betrayed Jesus in exchange for a few coins. And Jesus did no harm to Judas. Why are Christian hackers willing to harm others who have done no wrong to them just for a few dollars?  Jesus said to His disciples, "The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil." John 7:7 Today's preachers rarely talk about the evils of the world. Why? Because they want to make the world happy. They are pleasers of the evils of the world. They do not please God the Father!

DO WE HAVE A CHANCE?

  Peter approached Jesus and asked him the question, "Master if my brother goes on wronging me how often should I forgive him? Would seven times be enough?" Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.” Matthew 18:21-22. How much is that, seventy times seven? That is a whopping 490 forgiveness. Can we forgive someone who has hurt our feelings 490 times? Most of us have difficulty forgiving one painful experience, never mind forgiving someone who has offended us 490 times, especially when he or she has never apologized to us even once. What is the implication when we forgive someone who has offended us? It is telling the other party that he is okay assuming that he doesn’t hurt us again.  How about if he should offend us again next week and ask for forgiveness again? Should we forgive him? Yes, we should. The fact that he humbles himself and asks for forgiveness should tell us that he tries to do the right thing, but he fails,...

HIDUP DALAM DOSA

  "Sebab itu haruslah kamu sempurna, seperti Bapamu yang di sorga adalah sempurna". Matius 5:48. Bisakah kita menjadi sempurna? Ya kita bisa! Ayub 1:     1. Ada seorang pria di tanah Us, yang bernama Ayub; dan orang itu tidak bercela dan jujur, dan orang yang takut akan Allah dan menjauhi kejahatan.     6. Ada suatu hari ketika anak-anak Allah datang untuk menghadap TUHAN, dan Setan juga datang di antara mereka.     7. Dan TUHAN berkata kepada Setan, "Dari mana kamu datang?" Jadi Setan menjawab TUHAN dan berkata, "Dari pergi ke sana kemari di bumi, dan dari berjalan bolak-balik di atasnya."     8. Kemudian TUHAN berkata kepada Setan, "Apakah kamu telah mempertimbangkan hamba-Ku Ayub, bahwa [tidak ada] yang seperti dia di bumi, seorang pria yang tidak bercela dan jujur, orang yang takut akan Tuhan dan menjauhi kejahatan?" Ayub adalah orang yang sempurna - orang yang takut akan Tuhan, tidak bercacat, juju...
