351: Will any religion get me to heaven as long as I am Sincere?
Will any religion get me to heaven as long as I am Sincere? Apparently many sincere people are trusting in their sincerity for salvation. But is sincerity enough? Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" John 14: 6. Now what could this possibly mean if ... One of the classical examples of a man who was unquestionably sincere, and yet lost, out of Christ, and even an arch enemy of the early church, is that of Saul of Tarsus. Saul had even participated in the murder of the first Christian martyr, Stephen (Acts 7: 58). He "made havoc of the church ... and haling (dragging) men and women committed them to prison" Acts 8: 3. It is even reported further that "Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, and desiring of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem" Acts 9: ... ...

352: Chadwick, Henry: The Early Church
It was a military matter. His comprehension of Christian doctrine was never very clear, but he was sure that victory in battle lay in the gift of the God of the Christians." (The Early Church, Henry Chadwick, quoted in, Should you believe the Trinity?, Watchtower publication) "What role did this unbaptized emperor ... The Bible teaches that you get your sins washed away at water baptism: Acts 2:38; 22:16 and that water baptism "saves you" Mk 16:16; 1 Pe 3:21. But most importantly Christians never delayed their baptisms at all! In Acts 16:25,33, the Jailer was baptized around midnight! You see, the Watchtower highlighting Constantine's delay of water baptism is as hypocritical ... Chadwick comes right out and says that letters written by Constantine are powerful evidence of the genuine faith that resided within, "his letters from 313 onwards leave no doubt that he regarded himself as a Christian". That his delay of water baptism, "implies no doubt about his Christian belief". That his ... ...

353: Does your salvation experience match the Bible pattern?
both men and women" Acts 8: 12. Philip was the teacher in another example of conversion, also recorded in the eighth chapter of Acts. An Ethiopian eunuch, who was treasurer for Candace, queen of Ethiopia, was returning home from worship in Jerusalem and met Philip. The Ethiopian was reading from the 53rd chapter of the prophet Isaiah, a prophecy about Christ, Philip joined the Ethiopian, who did not understand the prophecy. "Then Philip opened his mouth and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. And as they went on their way, they came into a certain water: and the enuch said. 'See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?' Acts 8: 35,36. Then, following the enuch's confession of faith in Christ, we read in verse 38: "And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him". A fourth example of conversion is that of Saul of Tarsus, the persecutor of Christians who later became ... ...

355: Can Ordinary People Understand The Bible?
Can Ordinary People Understand The Bible? Because of the long-standing and widespread teaching that the Bible can be interpreted only by priests or by other learned men, ordinary people question if the Bible is for their study and interpretation or if they must rely on others to tell them the will and the directions of God. ... There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all."

Thus, we would have to believe, not that man must be obedient to the will of God, but that God is obedient to the individual's interpretation.

Kadesh Barnea (Ain el-Qudeirat) A fortress from the time of the Judaean Kingdom Rudolph Cohen The Israel Museum, Jerusalem 1983 AD The Site Biblical Tradition Kadesh-barnea's importance in the history of the Jewish people derives primarily from its biblical association with Israel's sojourn in the desert. As a consequence, numerous scholars of past generations have attempted to equate biblical Kadesh-barnea with sites in Sinai, the Negev, or even more distant places. Early in this century, a general scholarly consensus emerged, identifying Kadesh-barnea with Tell el-Qudeirat, located in the fertile valley watered by the spring of 'Ain el-Qudeirat. In the Bible, ... The middle fortress existed for a considerable time, but despite its impressive fortifications, it evidently fell victim to an attack by some enemy whose identity is unknown.

360: Ellen G. White found guilty of plagiarism (copying)
In the extreme, if the theological administrators and their people have accepted the delusion that their truth, their God, their prophet, or their saint are all equal, or are one and the same, it is next to impossible to effect any change toward advancing enlightenment. Again, the four techniques essential to the white-lie brand of super salesmanship are: (a) to play up anything unusual or mysterious about the one to be venerated, so that he or she becomes seen as at a supernatural level; (h) to exalt the acts and utterances to the virtuous and miraculous level, thus reinforcing the idea of the supernatural connection; (c) to deny access to information ... Often members that she prayed for arose from their sickbeds -although she herself never really got well and complained of sickness and fainting spells well into her middle age.

361: Is Church Membership Essential to my salvation?
The Bible tells, us in Acts, Chapters I and 2, about how (on the day of the beginning of the church) Peter spoke to the multitudes in Jerusalem. He explained to them that Jesus, whom they had crucified, was the Christ and was arisen. Upon believing this, the crowd was exceedingly sorry for their treatment of Jesus, and being convinced that Jesus was the ... As discussed earlier, membership in the church results as the believer obeys God's will: Thus we must ask, "But does this membership in the Lord's church commit the believer to meet with an earthly body, to carry out responsibilities to others, and to perform Christian duties which cannot be done alone?". To answer this question, we observe that Acts 2:42 records that the very first Christians continued steadfastly in the apostle's doctrine. The teachings, or doctrines, of the apostles are found in the Pages of the New Testament: They have been recorded and transmitted to us so that we, also, can live toward God as did the early ... ...

Children, sports, community service, activities, etc., are great for meeting new people.

378: Does It Matter What We Believe As Long As We Are Honest?

The prophet believed him and went home with him and ate bread and drank water. The prophet was ... many Christians to trial and death. He did Christ a very great wrong because he wanted to please God. But Saul did all these things with a sincere and honest conscience; years later, this same man (now a Christian) said, as recorded in Acts 23:1, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day". Men still say, "God will be pleased with your life and your worship as long as you are honest and sincere in your heart". The story about the good father is an earthly example to show that honesty and sincerity are not always the key to being pleasing to the one in authority.

379: The Watchtower's falsifying of their own War time history
Soldiers and civilians alike could only stare in silent horror at the gruesome remains of a monstrous killing machine. Earlier this year thousands celebrated the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the concentration camps by quietly tramping through their desolate grounds. They struggled to fathom the enormity of the crime. Why, some 1,500,000 people had been killed in the death camp at Auschwitz alone! It was a time for silence, a time to reflect on man's inhumanity to man. ... The Bible says that for their determined stand, the authorities "flogged them, and ordered them to stop speaking upon the basis of Jesus' name." Yet, the apostles refused to obey that God defying order. "They ontinued without letup teaching and declaring the good news." --Acts 5:29, 40-42. Many early Christians died because they obeyed God rather than men. Scores perished in Roman arenas because they refused, in effect, to heil Caesar by rendering an act of worship to him.

... First, it is important to note that the doctrine of the Trinity does not go back to non-Christian sources [pagan], as has sometimes been supposed in the past. There has been no lack of attempts to find the initial form of the doctrine of the Trinity in Plato, or in Hinduism, or in Parsiism. All such attempts may be regarded ... In particular cases the appropriation of this concept or that can often be proved.

Rather what Lohse says, and correctly so, is that early Christians would frame Christian doctrine in terms ... At the same time Constantine was concerned about keeping or restoring ecclesiastical peace. After all, the church had an important service to perform in his empire.

391: Did you choose your church this way???
Pentecost, preached a sermon about Christ at the end of which the people believed that Jesus was the divine son of God. They asked, "Men and brethren, what shall we do?" Then Peter said unto them, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit" Acts 2:37,38. In each of the major conversion stories in the book of Acts you will find the same pattern for becoming a Christian. Faith in Christ as the divine son of God, repentance from past sins, making known, or confessing, faith in Christ before men, and baptism for remission of sins. Would it not be wonderful if the millions of Americans who will choose a church in the next fifteen years would choose a church in this ancient, God-given way of becoming a Christian?
