The Only Reality


In today's world people declare, "your focus determines your reality." This saying is meant to convince a person that whatever you focus on, believe, and choose becomes your reality. It has pluralism and universalism that leaves people with believing, "everyone has their own perspective, and that determines their reality." The end of this kind of thinking is, "no one is right, no one is wrong, we all are wrong, we are all right. Everyone is right." This kind of thinking is devilish and its aim as my grand father said is to "be so open minded, your brain falls out." If you follow this thinking, then ISIS, murderers, adulterers, child abductors, and plethora of other evil people are free to "determine their own reality," and after all, they "aren't right, but they aren't wrong."This mindset of everyone is right eliminates moral absolutes, and everything becomes grey, rather than black and white; and so no one can pass judgment and stop evil from taking over.

There is only one reality, Jesus Christ. Jesus said, "I am the Way, The Truth, and the Life." (John 14:6).Christ's words encompass all of reality, our life is everything we experience, Truth transcends and shapes us, and the Way is Narrow and that is Christ who shows us the only way to be saved on the cross. Jesus is the only reality, from him comes the only real truth about everything, our needs, life, dreams, passions, pleasures, and more. Christ is center of the Universe, He is the King of Universe. Everything revolves around the Holy Trinity and it all works because He rules it and breaths life into it.

All the realties the world offers are delusions and lies, supplemented by the father of lies, the devil and his demons. People believe they can have perspectives, but there is only One perspective, The Prince of Peace. Since the Age of Reason, mankind has sought to create their own man-made worldview and morality independent of God. But in Jesus Christ who is God is all Truth, Justice, Morality, and Every Good Thing. The world thinks it can do better and create a Universalism of religion and non-religion, but it cannot work. For in Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal life (John 3:16) and only God can show man his purpose, passion, and point for existing. Only the God of the Bible, The Holy Trinity can teach us what to become and what matters. All other gods are fallen angels, demons, diversions, and distractions to keep man from facing the True Creator and Savior.

The reason man seeks to create his own realities, even if they are within the Church through meriting and working their way to righteousness, holiness, and even salvation is because of what Oswald Chambers says, "The gospel of the grace of God awakens an intense longing in human souls and an equally intense resentment, because the truth that it reveals is not palatable or easy to swallow. There is a certain pride in people that causes them to give and give, but to come and accept a gift is another thing. I will give my life to martyrdom; I will dedicate my life to service— I will do anything. But do not humiliate me to the level of the most hell-deserving sinner and tell me that all I have to do is accept the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ." (Utmost For His Highest, November 28th). The brilliant Mr. Chambers is saying that man has an impulse to not receive the Free Gift of Salvation from Christ Jesus. This manifests in two forms, one is religious and pious, the other irreligious and atheistic. The believer can fall into the trap of denying the reality that Jesus Christ has done it all, He died on cross once and for all are sins. This religious believer becomes enslaved to faith by works, which the Apostle Paul said, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9). The atheist, agonistic, humanist, and determine their own reality bent persons are doing the same, only they have completely rejected God out rightly. The religious person rejects God and his free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross, but believes they are devoted to God and as Oswald says, "gives, and gives, but never receives." The atheist is more honest, they don't play the religious game. Both are bound for the Outer Darkness (Matt 8:12, Matt 25:30), but the religious person is a hypocrite (Matt 24:51), while the irreligious is a honest hater. Both are denying the reality that Jesus Christ has died once and for all the sins of man. (1 Peter 3:18, Romans 6:10, Hebrews 9:28, Hebrews 10:10).

Choose to believe the reality of the Redeemer (Jesus Christ). It is Jesus Christ who is one with the Father and Holy Spirit that died for your sins and rose from dead. In Him is the Resurrection and Life and all Truth. Turn to Him and caste aside your "perspective and determined reality." Recognize that only in Him, God who came in body and flesh (John 1:1-15), is the only reality, truth, salvation, hope, sense, purpose, and everything. Choose now to believe, "If you believe in your heart and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior, then you shall be saved." (Romans 10:9). Choose Jesus Christ, for He is The Only Reality.

Israel’s Conquest of Canaan: The Nephilim and Giants

  Christianity Today asserts that the conquest of Canaan can be a “stumbling block” for believers. This probably is because of a foolish idea of comparing it to a modern conquest happening in our world. The truth is that God had Israel conquer Canaan because it was ruled by evil giants, “We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.” (Numbers 13:33). These are Anakim or Nephilim, the children of angels and human women, “When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God (angels) saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. Then the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. The...

Dispensationalism

John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) was a man who did two things, he took 70th week of the Book of Daniel and stretched out to the End Times, and he was the father of  Dispensationalism , a belief system that God dispenses different peoples with separate blessings and covenants. According to Darb'ys doctrine of Dispensationalism, God dispenses different covenants. There are total of seven dispensations that divide the history of man: I. Dispensation of Innocence (prior to the Fall, "Do not east of the Fruit of Good and Eve, Eden), II. Dispensation of Conscience ( You must assuage guilt and sin with blood sacrifices.) III. Dispensation of Human Government (Multiply and Subdue the world, example the Tower of Babel Gen 11:1-9, and Genesis 1:28). IV. Dispensation of the Promise (Dwell in Canaan, Jerusalem) V. Dispensation of the Law ("Obey the Law of Moses and the Prophets"). VI. Dispensation of Grace (The Church, Jesus Christ has come...

Jesus’ Name in Aramaic

There has been a trend to render Jesus’ name Hebrew, יֵשׁוּעַ , Yeshua. The problem is neither Christ nor his apostles, nor the Jews in 30-33 A.D. spoke Hebrew, they spoke Aramaic. A ramaic is the oldest language on earth and was the language Jesus spoke. In fact, the oldest Old Testament is the Septuagint a Greco translation around 132 B.C.E. (165 Years Before Christ)that was translated from Aramaic. The Masoretic Text, The Hebrew Old Testament most Bibles use, dates from 7th to 10th Century A.D. (Medieval Times).  This translation does not cross reference with the words of Christ in the New Testament which are Aramaic and Koine Greek.  If the Aramaic was what Jesus spoke, then by what name would have been called? Jesus’ name in Aramaic is Isho or Eesho, spelled ܝܫܘܥ . That is the name of our Lord in Aramaic! He would have heard his name in this dialect, “Hail Isho or Eesho!” as well as the Greek, Ἰ ησο ῦ ς , Iesous.  Aramaic is disappearing, only a few peop...
