The Eye and the Lamp of the Soul: Can We Watch Horror Movies? (2015)

There is famous song that goes, "be careful little eyes what you see, be careful little eyes what you see, for your Father whose Heaven watches you from above, Be careful little eyes what you see." We are not as careful or cautious about what we behold with our eyes. The world convinces us that it won't harm you to watch a horror movie or to look upon pornographic scenes. But the truth is the opposite. Jesus says, " The eye is the lamp and if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then then the light that is in you is darkness, how great the darkness ." (Matthew 6:22-24). King David supports the Savior, "Turn my eyes from worthless things, and give me life through your word," (Psalm 118:37), and " will refuse to look at anything vile and vulgar. I hate all who deal crookedly; I will have nothing to do with them," (Psalm 101:3). Jesus our God is a Son ...

Warning! False gospels! (Written in 2015)

The Gospel is Jesus Christ came and died for our sins when we were yet sinners and rose from the dead on the Third Day. if we confess our sins and believe and trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, we shall have eternal life. (John 3:16, Mark 10:45, Acts 10:43, Romans 4:25, 2 Corinthians 5:19, Titus 3:4-7, 1 Peter 2:24, 1 Peter 3:18, 1 John 4:10) Be warned brethren in Christ! The false gospels and false christs have come! Recently, I was watching A.D. The Bible Continues and in a pivotal moment the actor portraying Peter said, "Jesus, He is the servant of God." Jesus is not the servant of God, He is the Son of God and God Himself! (1 John 4:15, Hebrews 1:1-6, John 10:30, John 14:9, John 17:21, Matthew 1:23, Colossians 2:9, Philemon 2:5-8, Matthew 16:16, 1 John 4:15, Colossians 2:9, John 17:20-23). To my surprise, Roma Downey and Mark Burnett are sharing a gospel that is not the Gospel in the Bible! They have Jesus in their famous Bible Series and Son of God ...

How Churches Are Run (2016)

In Asia many churches are lead by women. Here in the United States, only a few denominations have begun to ordain women as bishops and pastors. The question should men be the leaders of Church can be addressed in the Holy Bible. The Apostle Paul makes many references to women pastors, " Give my greetings to the brothers and sisters at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her house ," (Colossians 4:15), " The churches in the province of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house ," (1 Corinthians 16:19), " Give my greetings to Philologus, Julia, Nereus and his sister, and to Olympas and all the believers who meet with them ," (Romans 16:15), and "I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a deacon of the church in Cenchreae ." (Romans 16:15). From Scripture we see many ways to run a church, some are lead by couples as in case of Aquila and Priscilla, others by so...

Warrior Women: The Role of Woman in the Church

There is a major move in Church, with women now leading and preaching. There are warrior women who want to pray and preach. There are some resisting this, taking Paul's words out of context, " Likewise, I want the women to adorn themselves with respectable apparel, with modesty, and with self-control, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,  but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess to worship God. A woman must learn in quietness and full submissiveness.   do not permit a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man; b she is to remain quiet. For Adam was formed first, and then Eve.  And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman who was deceived and fell into transgression.  Women, however, will be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control ." (1 Timothy 2:9-15). The problem is that people don't know that Paul was speaking to Greek Churches that had Pythonesses ...

Good Shepherd, Good Savior

There is a tension between two natures inside us. One is the righteous, who desires to become right with God through good deeds (see Ephesians 2:4-9). This attitude was placed in people when they forgot the purpose of sacrifice. The bulls and lambs that were placed on altar was not for God, as if He needed "more blood." Rather the sacrifice of a cherish lamb or animal was meant to teach us three facts: number one we need a covering of blood, we are sinners and stained with a nature (Original Sin, see Genesis 3:1-24) that wants to rebel. The sacrifice offering was meant to remind the Jews every year and even multiple times a year that they are not perfect or righteous, but rather they are corrupted by sin and need God's forgiveness, and a blood stained altar. The second reason for sacrifices was to assuage the guilt of the sinner, to give them some tangible way of making amends with God, sadly this would evolve into pride and a sense of perfection through works that t...
