MISUNDERSTAND

Readers, I want to spend a little time with you today talking about a word  that we often misunderstood, and that word is misunderstand . Jesus Christ said , "He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me. "For I have not spoken on My own [authority]; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. "And I know that His command is everlasting life . Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak. " John 12:44,49-50.  Do we understand what Jesus is saying here? He is saying that what He says in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are not His His words . Those were the words of God the Father . The Jews called Him Yahweh . When the newborn Christians abolished or ignored what Jesus said in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, they did not make Jesus mad or upset. They pissed God the Father . Do we understand that we pissed God the Father, and not Jesus ? And we made Him more upset and mad ...

HOW LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN PAUL?

  The apostle Paul wrote, “ Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin.” Romans 3:20. “Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God [is what matters].” 1 Corinthians 7:19. Readers, are you following Paul, or are you following Jesus?

DID JESUS HAVE TO DIE FOR OUR SINS?

  No, I do not believe that He has to die to pay for our sins. Am I sure? Yes, I am 100% sure . How can I be so sure when I don’t have a PhD degree in Bible Studies? I don’t need a PhD degree in Christian religion. But I do have evidence that I have completed a basic course in English, including a course in English as a second language. Jesus said, "In this manner, therefore, pray : Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom comes. Your will be done On earth as [it is] in heaven. And forgive us our debts , As we forgive our Debtors.” Matthew 6:9,10,12. Then Peter came to Him and said, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?" Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. ” Matthew 18:21-22. There is no need for Jesus to die for our sins, unless we do not forgive those who have offended us. In special cases such as this, Jesus offered us this special option, ...

WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT?

Good morning readers. I want to start the day by asking you a question, and that is which is more important to you? Jesus said, "If you love Me, keep My commandments.” John 7:15. Is loving Jesus more important to you, or keeping His commandments is more important to you? Why did I ask this question? Because millions of Christians believe that when Jesus died on the cross, His commandments also died on the cross, and only the “law of Christ” prevails, whatever that is. Why then did Jesus say, "If you love Me, keep My commandments.” John 7:15. Does He not know that He is soon going to die? Sure He does. Then why did Jesus say, "If you love Me, keep My commandments.” John 7:15, knowing that He is soon going to die, and that His commandments will be replaced with the “law of Christ”, whatever that is? Brothers, do these people who invented the “law of Christ” to replace God’s commandments have no fear of God ? They should! Why? Because when Jesus returns on Judgment Day to ...

NASIB DOMBA

Saya bangun pagi ini karena sebuah pikiran muncul di benak saya bahwa saya masih memiliki banyak pekerjaan menulis yang harus dilakukan. Saya harus menulis tentang sesuatu hampir setiap hari. Apa yang akan saya tulis kali ini? Saya pikir saya akan menulis tentang seekor domba . Yesus berkata, "Domba-domba-Ku mendengarkan suara-Ku dan Aku mengenal mereka dan mereka mengikut Aku, dan Aku memberikan hidup yang kekal kepada mereka dan mereka pasti tidak akan binasa sampai selama-lamanya dan seorang pun tidak akan merebut mereka dari tangan-Ku." Yohanes 10:27-28. Yesus berbicara di sini tentang domba-domba-Nya, dan bukan tentang domba yang bukan domba-domba-Nya. Domba-domba-Nya, kata Yesus, mendengar suara-Nya dan mengikuti-Nya. Apakah kita mendengar suara-Nya? Tidak. Apakah kita mengikuti-Nya? Tidak, kita juga tidak mengikuti-Nya. Jadi, menurut Yesus kita bukanlah domba-domba-Nya. Yesus juga berkata, "Dan Aku memberikan hidup yang kekal kepada mereka dan mereka pasti tidak a...

THE FATE OF A SHEEP

I woke up early this morning because a thought occurs in my mind that I still have plenty of writing work to do. I have to write about something almost every day. What is it that I am going to write about this time? I think I am going to write about a sheep. Jesus said, " My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.” John 10:27-28. Jesus was talking here about His sheep, and not about any sheep . His sheep, Jesus says, hear His voice, and follow Him. Do we hear His voice? No, we do not. Do we follow Him? No, we don't follow Him either. And so, according to Jesus we are not His sheep. Jesus also said, “ And I give them eternal life , and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.” John 10:28. Since we are not His sheep, eternal life is not promised to us. We will perish when Jesus returns, and any demon can snatch us lon...

AKULAH GEMBALA YANG BAIK

G embala yang baik memberikan nyawanya bagi domba-dombanya. "Akulah gembala yang baik dan Aku mengenal [domba-domba-Ku] dan Aku dikenal oleh domba-domba-Ku. "Domba-domba-Ku mendengarkan suara-Ku dan Aku mengenal mereka dan mereka mengikut Aku." Yohanes 10:11,14,27. Pembaca, Yesus berkata bahwa Dialah Gembala yang baik yang memberikan nyawanya bagi domba-dombanya. Siapakah domba itu? Domba-domba-Nya mendengar suara-Nya, dan mereka mengikuti-Nya. Jadi, mari kita luruskan mulai sekarang pengertian kita mengenai gembala yang baik. Yesus memberikan nyawanya bagi domba-domba-Nya, yang mendengar suara-Nya, dan yang mengikuti-Nya . Dia tidak memberikan nyawanya bagi domba-domba yang mengabaikan-Nya, menolak untuk menaati-Nya, atau menolak untuk mengikuti-Nya. Mengapa Dia harus berkata demikian? Pembaca, apakah Anda ingat apa yang Dia lakukan kepada Adam dan Hawa, dua orang yang telah Dia ciptakan dengan tangan-Nya sendiri yang mengabaikan-Nya? Begitu Dia mengetahui bahwa mereka...

I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD

"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. "I am the good shepherd; and I know My [sheep], and am known by My own. " My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me”. John 10:11,14,27. Readers, Jesus said that He is the good Shepherd who gives His life for the sheep. Who is the sheep ? His sheep hears His voice, and they follow Him. So, let's get this straight from now on. Jesus gave His life for His sheep, who hear His voice, and who follow Him . He did not give His life for sheep who ignore Him, refuse to obey Him, or refuse to follow Him. Why should He? Readers, do you remember what He did to Adam and Eve, the two people whom He had created with His own hands who ignored Him? As soon as He discovered that they had ignored and disobeyed Him, He kicked them out from their home. He did not want them to live forever and disobeyed Him forever. Do you remember? NO mercy!  He drowned and killed millions or billions of p...
