Let us not call evil good

Bad times in Israel according the book of Malachi written about 450 BC(BCE) even by scholarly consensus! Let us not be like this. Lord help us… “For I am the Lord, I change not” – Malachi 3:6 “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” Hebrews 13:8 “The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: But the word of our God shall stand for ever.” Isaiah 40:8 “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” Matthew 24:35 Continue reading Let us not call evil good

My name shall be great

World history is unfolding exactly as prophesied by Malachi. Only in Christ has this prophecy been fulfilled. People all over the globe have been worshipping the God of the Tanakh because of the Messiah proclaimed in the New Testament—dating back to the 1st century (the four Gospels, Paul, John, Peter, James, Jude, etc.)—like no other human figure in history. The faith spread quite successfully without the aid of Islam for 600 years, without the aid of Constantine for 300 years, and without the aid of Joseph Smith for 1,800 years. None of those later movements would exist if the original … Continue reading My name shall be great

My heart was grieved

“Thus my heart was grieved, And I was pricked in my reins. So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee. Nevertheless I am continually with thee: Thou hast holden me by my right hand. Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, And afterward receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but thee? And there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: But God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: Thou … Continue reading My heart was grieved

It is impossible

A fascinating argument from Lactantius that argues why a believer in a sovereign God like the God of the Bible is incompatible with the eternality of anything else but God. “There follows a most senseless comparison. “As the builder,” he says, “when he is about to erect any building, does not himself make the materials, but uses those which are already prepared, and the statuary also the wax; so that divine providence ought to have had materials at hand, not of its own production, but already prepared for use.” Nay rather it ought not; for God will have less power … Continue reading It is impossible

Acknowledge

Therefore let men withdraw themselves from errors; and laying aside corrupt superstitions, let them acknowledge their Father and Lord, whose excellence cannot be estimated, nor His greatness perceived, nor His beginning comprehended. When the earnest attention of the human mind and its acute sagacity and memory has reached Him, all ways being, as it were, summed up and exhausted, it stops, it is at a loss, it fails; nor is there anything beyond to which it can proceed. But because that which exists must of necessity have had a beginning, it follows that since there was nothing before Him, He … Continue reading Acknowledge

Truth can not be attained

But they did not obtain the object of their wish, and at the same time lost their labour and industry; because the truth, that is the secret of the Most High God, who created all things, cannot be attained by our own ability and perceptions. Otherwise there would be no difference between God and man, if human thought could reach to the counsels and arrangements of that eternal majesty. And because it was impossible that the divine method of procedure should become known to man by his own efforts, God did not suffer man any longer to err in search … Continue reading Truth can not be attained
