and service. 5. That man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is therefore lost and only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained. 6. That the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for justification and salvation for all who believe, and only such as receive Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit, and thus become children of God. 7.

In verse 11, he states that it was in the eternal purpose of God that through the church would be made known the manifold wisdom of God. Therefore, the promise to all the faithful patriarchs and prophets of all was to be fulfilled in the church, the body of Christ. Eph. 5: 23-25.

457: Jocz, Jacob: The Jewish People and Jesus Christ
The profession that Jesus Christ is Lord is the distinctive mark of the Church and is tested in a particular and drastic way when face to face with Judaism: here as nowhere else Church and mission coincide. (The Jewish People and Jesus Christ, 1979, Jacob Jocz, p15) It is a matter of fact that a bridge theology spanned between the two faiths always means a compromise for the Church on the basic issue, namely the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Confrontation with the Synagogue therefore always forces us back upon the central problem: What is meant by "Christianity"? (The ... For Arians (JW's, Christadelphians) to appeal to Hindus, Jews and Muslims to support their false doctrine is nothing short of incredible! Doing such is as dishonest as it is deceptive!

Our brotherhood came into existence because of a growing conviction concerning a united Church, the "One Body of Christ." There was no attempt to do away with any other church or form a new division within the Protestant Movement, but CECC is bringing together all those who want and need a direct relationship with Jesus Christ without the limitations of a church hierarchy or a bureaucratic system which was once the characteristic of the medieval system. We have no creed but Christ, and no book but the Bible. Our biblical standard allows our ministers to walk in the freedom of Christian unity and love by following the motto: "Unity in the essentials - Liberty in the non-essentials - Charity in all things." Ten Articles of Faith The Bible as the written Word of God The Virgin Birth The Deity of Jesus the Christ The Person and work of the Holy Spirit The Trinity Salvation through the Atonement The guidance of our life through prayer The death and resurrection of Christ The return of the ... ...

Disciples draw their inspiration from Scripture and the Holy Spirit, celebrating around the Lord's Table the life, death and resurrection, and continuing presence of Christ.

463: The Crucifixion Of Jesus
They did not want to believe the truth He preached, as He urged them to repent and turn back to God. They became jealous of the great crowds that followed Him and believed in Him, and finally decided to get rid of Him by having Him killed. Since the Jews did not have the right to have a man killed without the approval of the Roman governor, they had to take Jesus to Pilate. At the trial they had no evidence of wrong-doing by Jesus, but put enough pressure on Pilate that he finally agreed to have the soldiers kill Jesus by crucifying Him. The place where they killed prisoners was outside the city of Jerusalem on a small hill called Golgotha or the place of the skull. Here they laid the cross on the ground while they nailed his hands and feet to it with great spikes. The cross was then lifted and dropped into a hole in the ground. The entire weight of the body tore at the spikes, and the pain was almost beyond endurance. The blood began to pound through the body as the shock of what was ... ...

467: The 7 Promises Of God to Man
When Jesus said: "I am that bread of life", John 6:48, "I am the light of the world", John 8:12, "I am the resurrection and the life." John 11:25, He did so fully realizing that He had been empowered with this right by the Father who had promised to raise Him from the grave. There were more than 500 brethren at one time who bore witness to the fulfillment of this promise according to I Corinthians 15:1-6. What can be said about God's promises to us? He has promised to supply every need we have. The Bible says: "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus". That's Phillipians 4:19. Now notice, God has obligated Himself only to the extent of our needs. That would include food, clothing, shelter, companionship, love, and salvation thru Jesus Christ. It would not include the multiplicity of luxuries that we have come to think of as needs. God has promised that His grace is sufficient for us.

470: Trinity proof texts: Isaiah 45:23-24 = Philippians 2:9-11
... This is the very context of the previous 4 verses! Further, it is clear that Jehovah acquired the specific status as "savior" only after the blood of Christ was shed on the cross, for without this action in 30 AD, God could not save man! Does the fact that God officially and actually acquired the title of saviour at the cross mean he is not God? No more than the fact that Jesus acquired the status of Lord and Christ. Very troubling for Jehovah's Witnesses is that YHWH is not found in the New Testament Greek anywhere. They are guilty of adding to the word of God! (The speculation of a Hebrew gospel of Matthew is without any evidence and is the result of wishful thinking. Even if Matthew was originally written in Hebrew, it doesn't justify adding YHWH to the other 26 "written in Greek" New Testament books). The only NAME given under heaven is Jesus!

So now with the safe assumption that the Bible is truly the Word of God, let us examine its clear words to see if it is reasonable to believe it to be understandable by those who read its words.

477: Why Are There So Many Different Churches?
In Matthew Chapter 16:18, our Lord made a very strange statement when He said, "Upon this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it." Notice in this passage that the term church is singular, not plural. Jesus did not say that He would build his churches, but rather simply that He would build His church. Listen to the passage again. "Upon this rock, I will build My church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against IT." Again in the book of Ephesians, the Apostle Paul wrote, "That the church is the body of Christ, and that there is only one body." Ephesians 1:22,23 & 4:4-6. A simple reading of ... These prophecies did not cease to be religious, nor that they would cease to claim that they would be following Christ, but simply that they would depart from God's pattern, and thus make worship vain.

Go to Rapture Refuted home page Click to View Abrahamic Land Promise to Israel fulfilled 3000 years ago! Israel becoming a nation in 1948 does not fulfill Bible prophecy. Introduction: 1.

However Israel becoming a nation in 1948 AD was a non-event as far as Bible prophecy is concerned. The only hope of Israel is to accept Jesus Blood for their sins and be saved though faith, repentance, confession of Christ and water baptism. 2. Pre-tribulation Rapture and dispensationalists teach the false doctrine that God failed to fulfill the three promises he made to Abraham in fleshly Israel and the church (spiritual Israel). 3.

Their thesis is that "Jesus was (as he is presented in Acts 2.21) 'a man approved by God' for a special role within the divine purpose, and . . . the later conception of him as God incarnate, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity living a human life, is a mythological or poetic way of expressing his significance for us."

493: The early use of "nomina sacra" indicates a canon was recognized
... The consistent system of abbreviating certain words (nomina sacra, fifteen in total) in Christian biblical codices points to the likelihood of recessions, i.e., editions of the New Testament that aimed at a standardized text for Christian worship.

Sanders, Editors: The Canon Debate; Peter Balla, Evidence for an Early Christian Canon: Second and Third Century, p 376, 2002) Barton has observed that when nomina sacra (sacred names that are abbreviated or contracted in the ancient biblical manuscripts) appear in ancient manuscripts, those manuscripts were considered sacred. The nomina sacra included important names such as Jesus, Father, Son, Christ, Holy Spirit, Savior, and such like. The fact that early Christian scribes contracted special words from both the Old Testament and the New Testament suggests that they viewed both collections as sacred in the same sense." (Lee ... ...
