IS JESUS GOD OR WAS GOD IN JESUS?

Malachi 3:6 “For I am the LORD, I change not.”

GOD IS THE SAME, YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW!

IS THE SON?

Hebrews 11:1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things.

SO IS JESUS GOD OR WHAT?

This is the big question on everyone’s mind. Many different religions make different claims as to who, and what, Jesus is?

Here are some QUESTIONS that pop up:
Is Jes… Continue

Top 10 Reasons to Reconsider Your Belief in an Eternal Hell

10. No mention of this doctrine can be found anywhere in the first five books of the Old Testament, or the Torah, the Law of Moses. In Deuteronomy 28, for example, the nation of Israel is given a list of warnings and curses in the event of their disobedience, yet not one of them involves this notion of eternal punishment in hell. If it were true, don’t you think God should have warned them? (see Amos 3:7)

9. Likewise, God commissioned the apostle Paul to deliver the gospel (good news) to the Ge… Continue

"So, I Guess You Throw Out the Bible..?"

Y'know, I really don't believe in coincidences (though I've been known to think of such things as God-incidences). I find that God comes to me cleverly disguised as my life. So, this morning, while reading from a rather formidable-and-controversial book, called The Urantia Book (some see it as divine -- some see it wholly as science fiction -- but I see that truth can be gleaned anywhere -- I swallow what feeds me, and spit out what doesn't), I came across a passage that utterly struck me in the… Continue

Some Thoughts on Relying on God....

Y'know how the same ol' words can take on a whole new meaning...?

"Relying on God" used to mean to me, "you'd better get it right, and figure out exactly what God wants you to do (and there is only one right answer) or else there will be hell to pay."

And that hell-thing felt pretty literal, no matter whether I was in a "once saved - always saved" church, or in a "you can lose your salvation so you'd better be careful" church (SO fun to go back and forth...!).

Because, really, who could be as… Continue

Losing the Fear....

Fear ... it's an insidious thing ... creeping unawares into the crevices of our hearts, spreading into the folds of our brains, spreading like a cancer into every aspect of our lives.

It quite often likes to masquerade as "wisdom".

It prefers to hide behind thoughts like "should," "ought," "rules," "can't," "unsafe," "concerns," "warning."

Now, it's not that I'm against wisdom, prudence, discernment and choices ... it's just that I think more of us are motivated by fear, than are we trusting… Continue

A Time of Change

Change is not something we often like to face. Fear of the unknown can send us down a path , fighting change every step of the way. The truth is, most of us are more comfortable with the safe and familiar. As a result, we often fail to accept that change is a fact of life. Instead, we face change in our lives with anger, resentment, sadness , and depression, which often leads us down the path darkened with self-pity.

When it comes to those of us that suffer with a chronic illness and pain. One… Continue
