Seek the peace

“Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon; Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them; Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished. And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray … Continue reading Seek the peace

My very dear friend

Thou hast indeed enjoined upon me, my very dear friend, that I should bring to light the Valentinian doctrines, concealed, as their votaries imagine; that I should exhibit their diversity, and compose a treatise in refutation of them. I therefore have undertaken—showing that they spring from Simon, the father of all heretics—to exhibit both their doctrines and successions, and to set forth arguments against them all. Irenaeus of Lyons. 1885. “Irenæus against Heresies.” In The Apostolic Fathers with Justin Martyr and Irenaeus, edited by Alexander Roberts, James Donaldson, and A. Cleveland Coxe, 1:414. The Ante-Nicene Fathers. Buffalo, NY: Christian Literature … Continue reading My very dear friend

A bunch of sinners…

Only Jesus can take a bunch of sinners and transform them into worshipers of God like no other! More than music! Colossians 3:16 ALL.THE.WAY. God bless… You can trust Jesus over whatever it is you are trusting over Him! Just tell em get thee behind Jesus in the name of Jesus! Have a little faith in the G.O.A.T. of goats, the lamb of God, God’s lamb! “While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, THIS IS MY BELOVED SON, in whom I am well pleased; HEAR YE HIM.” … Continue reading A bunch of sinners…

A holy festival

And his whole life is a holy festival. His sacrifices are prayers, and praises, and readings in the Scriptures before meals, and psalms and hymns during meals and before bed, and prayers also again during night. By these he unites himself to the divine choir, from continual recollection, engaged in contemplation which has everlasting remembrance. Clement of Alexandria. 1885. “The Stromata, or Miscellanies.” In Fathers of the Second Century: Hermas, Tatian, Athenagoras, Theophilus, and Clement of Alexandria (Entire), edited by Alexander Roberts, James Donaldson, and A. Cleveland Coxe, 2:537. The Ante-Nicene Fathers. Buffalo, NY: Christian Literature Company. “Blessed is the … Continue reading A holy festival

A lie in My name

Not everything that claims to be of God is of God. Sometimes, the true prophet is preaching destruction and judgement while the false prophet is preaching peace, peace. “Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The Lord hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie.” (Jeremiah 28:15) Now ask yourself: Where are the words of Hananiah preserved and have they endured the test of time? We only know of the words of Hananiah from the enduring and preserved words of Jeremiah! God’s truth prevails! “If there arise among you … Continue reading A lie in My name

No gift of God is fragile

The philosophers, however, chose to [teach philosophy] to the Greeks alone, and not even to all of them; but Socrates to Plato, and Plato  to Xenocrates, Aristotle to Theophrastus, and Zeno to Cleanthes, who persuaded their own followers alone. But the word of our Teacher remained not in Judea alone, as philosophy did in Greece; but was diffused over the whole world, over every nation, and village, and town, bringing already over to the truth whole houses, and each individual of those who heard it by him himself, and not a few of the philosophers themselves. And if any one … Continue reading No gift of God is fragile

Jeremiah 26!

After reading Jeremiah 26, is it any wonder that some thought Jesus and the Old Covenant prophet who foretold the New Covenant were quite similar? Jeremiah, under the Old Covenant, foreshadows, predicts, and points to Jesus and the New Covenant.  “When Jesus came into the coasts of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.” – Matthew 16:13,14 Old Covenant/Testament New Covenant/Testament = Same God of both The light … Continue reading Jeremiah 26!

Truth is immoveable

Quote in the picture is from Clement of Alexandria, a Christian writer of the late 2nd century. Only the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John have stood the test of time—cross‑culturally received and believed—and have carried the message of sacrifice foretold by the prophet Isaiah (see Isaiah 40:8; 42:1–12; 49:1–6; 52:13–15; and Isaiah 53).  By contrast, the so‑called gnostic gospels fail to meet these prophetic standards. The difference is overwhelming—it’s not even close.  Therefore, it is clear and easy to recognize which writings are the true Gospels. Continue reading Truth is immoveable

Truly

“Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.” – as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew 27:54 Did you know that the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are the only accounts in history that fulfill the prophetic promises foretold in the Old Testament? Unlike the Gnostic gospels and other later writings, these four have endured across centuries, cultures, and continents—received and revered worldwide. Their message aligns with ancient Scripture, such as Isaiah 53:5, which … Continue reading Truly
