There are two points of view on how the Lord Jesus guides our lives. One school of thought from the Latin Church is suffering. Th Roman Catholic mystics, monks, priests, and the popes teach that God desires our suffering; a purging via penances. This point if view leads to interpreting catastrophes, closed doors, and bad circumstances as Deus Vult, God's Will. Such a perspective paints God as a cruel master and sadist. Canon Law and the seminal works of Augustine of Hippo, Thomas A Kempis, and Mother Teresa make the 'faithful' believe the closed doors are God's Will and you must press through them; suffering inconvenience after   inconvenience as a sign of God's testing and feeling as if you are sailing against the wind your whole life. This however, does not fit Scripture, nor what the Savior Jesus Christ himself declares.  The other school of thought comes from Scripture. Jesus Christ says, " Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy b...

St. Bartholomew Day Massacre The Roman Catholicism is a contagion. A disease of the spirit and mind. It infects people with its ties to the ancient Roman pagan gods of Mars (god of war), Minerva (goddess of intellect), and Venus (goddess of lust). The Roman Catholic Church is not the church of Jesus Christ, but rather the masterpiece of Constantine The Great, who build St. Peter's Basicalla in what is now called Vatican City, Italty, the seat of Papal Power, and the Roman Catholic Church. This church persuades Protestants seeking virtue that it is the One True Church of antiquity, founded by St. Peter himself, but in actuality it is a Constantinian creation that found its own identity in Europe, while its sister Eastern Orthodoxy sat in the cradle of Constantine's empire, Constantinople (Byzantium). The Catholic faith is not the Christian faith, Catholics do not believe in inerrancy and suprememcy of the Scriptures being the main source of God's revelation (Solae Scrip...

#Death to Selfie is a five part sermon series by Stephen Furtick . In his first sermon Furtick deals with the identify crisis our society is having, how people put on airs and facades, take perfect selfies to cover up their true selves. To illustrate the identify battle we saints are having in this contemporary world, Furtick takes the story of Esau and Jacob, and how Jacob is from the womb is trying to become first, grabbing the heel of Esau as he came out, and the scheming Jacob did to earn the blessing by posing as Esau, the First Born, before his father Isaac. Death to Selfie is not turning on our selves, and become full of self abasement, but rather rediscovery who we really are without all the masks, props, and artificial makeup we use to hide who we really are. Furtick says, "many people know God, but many people do not know themselves." In this world we are fed a steady diet of "me" and selfishness, and yet paradoxically the more we chase the stuff, stat...

The Reformers would be rolling in their graves if they saw how the churches they established have been eaten by the evils of this world. The majority of the Lutherans, Presbyterians, Methodists, Anglicans, and other High Churches have embraced liberal Christianity (which says The Bible are myths rather than the inerrant and God breathed as Orthodox Christians profess). In addition these new Liberal churches have ordained homosexual bishops, priests, pastors, and deacons; violating Sacred Scripture (1 Corinthians 6:9-10). These Sodomites (gays) being ordained have not given up their sexual identity and cease their perversions of God's image through same sex relationships, they boldly show off their spouses and lovers. The Apostle Paul says, " They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator, who is forever worthy of praise! Amen. That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against...

Protestant doctrine and belief is founded upon the Five Solae or Solus which are: By Grace, Through Faith, Scripture Alone, In Christ Alone, and to Glory Be to God Alone. These five which match the Five Wounds of Christ encompass the entire statement or canon of Protestant belief. As aforementioned in "The Triumph of Protestantism" our Reformed Churches are not neo or new, but a resurgence and return to Biblical Christianity (33 A.D. to 100 A.D.). Since very few institutions educate people in Five Solae, I shall unpack each statement of faith, its Scriptural support, and how it is practiced by us Protestant Christians. Solae Gracias or Grace Alone Grace Alone was penned by Martin Luther who discovered while reading The Scriptures that his salvation did not lie in indulgences, penance, or the merit of his good works, but rather in grace and free gift of God and His sacrifice on the cross. Luther's Solae Gracias is really St. Paul's who said, " For it is by...

The story of Judah Ben Hur is one of betrayal, revenge, and redemption. The first remake, starring Charlton Heston in 1959 has become a classic. The question asked is how does this remake stand against the original or in this case how does the remake stand against the remake? The review I am about to pen will not focus on comparsions, for this Ben Hur is an entirely different retelling of Lew Wallace's novel. While the Ben Hur of 1959 may be called an epic (in every sense of the world, including Heston's epic voice), this Ben Hur of 2016 is more of evangelistic epic that really could claim the substitle of Wallace's book, " The Tale of Christ ." Ben Hur is about a wealthy Jew named Judah Ben Hur in the time of 33 A.D. Hur's best friend, and in this version, step brother, is a Roman na med Massala . The two despite their different beliefs and grooming are brothers, and the axis for the story really shapes when the verse, " brother will turn against ...
