 The Truth is Still the Truth

I just read a study that states that it found that: Over 60% of born-again Christians between 18 and 39 say Jesus isn't only way to Heaven; Muhammad, Buddha also valid paths to salvation.

This shows me that whoever "discipled" these folks did not explain the Gospel to them. To be born again; born of the Spirit of God is grounded in the eternal truth that there is no other name but Jesus Christ of Nazareth that has been given to humanity by which we can be saved, restored to God, rescued, transformed, be given a new heart and a new spirit.

There is salvation in no other. God made it simple for us. It is not searching for a needle in a haystack! Jesus Christ said, "I am the way the truth and the life; no one can come to the Father except through me." It is THAT utter exclusivity that opens the door to all ethnic, cultural, social and racial groups. Jesus Christ is not the salvation of some, but the only Savior for all who will but believe and follow Him.

He alone has done what was necessary to restore us to God. "God loved the world (all humanity) so much that He gave His one and only Son to the end that all who would believe in Him would have eternal life. God sis not send His Son into the world to condemn humanity, but that the world might be caves by Him."

To believe otherwise is to actually not be born from above, born again, made a new creation. Followers of Jesus Christ know that there is life in no other. He alone has the Words of Life.

WHAT DO YOU BLESS? It would be an act of utter folly and disaster were I to choose to "bless" what God will not bless. God's wrath is set against anything and anyone that would try and hinder you becoming all He created you to be and to grow in by being united to Him through the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ. There is nothing arbitrary about the Word of God. He is very specific on what will make for life and what will not. Human life only becomes human life when the Holy Spirit becomes Life withing a believer. Being united to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the follower of Jesus becomes a new creation and begins to live Life as God intended. God begins the good work, and He is the One who will bring it to competition. Somethings will NEVER make for life. What God calls sin, missing the mark of what will make for life, is always sin regardless of what culture anywhere and anytime say to the contrary. Sin cannot save, heal, redeem, restore or remake...
BEWARE DECEPTION   Deuteronomy 18:9 “When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, be very careful not to imitate the detestable customs of the nations living there. Deuteronomy 12:29-30 “When the Lord your God goes ahead of you and destroys the nations and you drive them out and live in their land, do not fall into the trap of following their customs and worshiping their gods. Do not inquire about their gods, saying, ‘How do these nations worship their gods? I want to follow their example.’ Pragmatics was the downfall of Israel when they took possession of the Promised Land. To the unredeemed eye, it seemed that the fertility gods and agricultural gods of the pagan nations actually were helping the indigenous peoples. Just because something works does not make it right or good.  God promised to prosper His people if they would trust Him to the point of obeying His Word. God's Word is not empty. When He directs and commands, it is always for...
 THE FOLLY OF IDOLATRY Martin Luther said that the human heart is an idol factory. The truth is that we were created to know and live by the gracious rule of and in the Presence of God who created us. Our peace, our understanding of meaning and purpose can only be truly grounded in God who created us for that meaning and purpose. The rebellion of Adam and Eve, their decision to do the opposite of what God said would make for life, resulted in spiritual and ultimately physical death. They chose to believe they needed something more than what God had provided. Their doomed attempt to try and live life without reference to God as the ground of meaning and purpose did not make life fuller, but emptied it. They wanted to decide what was good and what was evil without God and the disintegration of human life was the consequence. Rather than living in the Presence of God and by the gracious rule of God all around them, they turned from wholeness to brokenness, from fulfilment to scarc...
