Understanding Paul’s Message to the Colossians
There is a great deal of confusion in the minds of many Christians when it comes to God’s expectations and the role of the law in the life of the Christian. Perhaps, you have wrestled with some of these questions:
Was the law “nailed to the cross?”
Does “grace” eliminate the need for the law?
Are there different standards for Jew and Gentile?
Are the ten commandments still valid, but the statutes are not?
Was Paul’s attitude in opposition to the teachings of James and other new covenant writers in regards to the law?
What is the unified message that the scriptures present concerning the law of God?
How should we understand the concepts of torah in the Hebrew scriptures and nomos in the Greek scriptures?
And how will this vital knowledge transform our hearts and minds?
Let the scriptures speak for themselves, so you can know God’s mind on these matters!
When the apostle Paul wrote to the Thessalonians that “the mystery of lawlessness was already at work,” he was confirming that the things Jesus had prophesied were already coming to pass within decades after Christ’s death. Later, John’s writings confirm that John also had to confront the false teachers who were preaching a gospel of “anomia/lawlessness” and leading many away from the truth. And what of our time? What is the reality in most of the Christian world, when it comes to teaching about God’s law; must we be aware and wary of the anti-nomians, those who teach, “anomia?” More
Comments Off on Living in the Presence of God, Videos, by CGP.
From the beginning the Lord’s intent was that his people would live in the presence of God, and become holy as God is holy. He desired a close intimate family relationship with those he would call to dwell with him. He walked and talked with Abraham, he spoke to his people Israel from the mountain top, and he conferred directly with Moses and the elders of the nation.
At that time, the people had entered into a covenant relationship with God as their King/Father and had promised to live in God’s presence. They promised to obey his commandments and follow his instructions. Yet, within weeks, they had forgotten God and fallen back into the familiar routine of worshipping idols in the form of a golden calf. Could they return to dwell in God’s presence? More
Comments Off on Nature of Lies — Deceivers and the Deceived, Videos, by CGP.
What is the nature of lies and why do people tell and believe lies? The scriptures give us keen insights into this issue. The Lord God of Israel, is a place of refuge and a compassionate and just judge. However, he hates and promises to eventually eliminate those who are false witnesses — the liars. He hates those whose lying lips are a testimony to their arrogance and contempt for God and those they deceive.
People lie for many reasons, from avoiding punishment to trying to please others and gain status or to control and manipulate. The scriptures provide cautionary tales to help us recognize and avoid the liars and their lies. What the liars and those caught up in their lies do not perceive is that lies have unavoidable negative consequences. It is only the truth, alethea, the true nature of reality that is able to point us in the right direction and help us avoid deception’s painful outcomes. More
Comments Off on Adversity — Persevere in a Time of Trouble, Videos, by CGP.
A Message of Hope in Troubled Times
The prophet Isaiah gives us hope beyond the present adversity and a vision of the future when the Lord of Lords will reign in justice and truth. Meanwhile, we need to look to the scripture to understand God’s view on persevering through times of adversity. God did not promise his followers a life of ease, but rather he gives us the hope of the strength and wisdom to make good decisions in times of trouble. Jesus’ Olivet prophecy, and his instructions to his disciples provide a snapshot of the kind of trouble we will need to face. But God also provides hope and encouragement for the present and promises of a bright future for those who trust in him. More
Comments Off on Jeremiah the Prophet’s Message for Rulers and Citizens, Videos, by CGP.
Jeremiah the Prophet Speaks to Us
God has a message for those who would take up the mantle of leadership of God’s people. It is not a comforting message. God is testing all of his people to discern whether they will listen to his counsel or not.
Jeremiah the prophet, in a time of great national turmoil, was given a message to deliver to the people. God likened the nation to two baskets of figs, one was good and the other was rotten. God explains how he would preserve the good figs, those who trusted him and did what was right. He also warned the ‘rotten figs’ that unless they changed their corrupt, self-serving ways they would be destroyed.
There are lessons today for those in positions of leadership who are building their ‘palaces’ with slave labour, abusing their people and defying God’s will. There is also a message of hope for those who trust God and follow his teachings. It is time we all consider where we stand and how God will work in our lives.
— the biblical principles relating to mandatory injections
PREAMBLE
In the spirit of Reformation under the Sola Scriptura Principle, we the People of God make this declaration…
DECLARATION
We, the people of God, declare that mandatory injections are contrary to divine law as written in the Scriptures, the canonized Holy Bible. According to Scripture these injections are both unlawful and immoral and promote the culture of death. They have been sold to the people with an ever changing campaign of lies, false promises and predictions of ‘safety’ – the work of modern false prophets.
We the undersigned, the people of God, stand and resist all mandatory injections and those institutions of men that support or comply with The Mandates in opposition to the Word of God. We call to account those in leadership that have not stood with the people of God and with the Scriptures to do righteousness.
Our Grievances with mandatory injections are in general:
Personal impacts
The state shall not infringe on our free will to obey God The state does not own our body; a believer’s body belongs to the Lord The state shall not hinder our free assembly and worship
Societal impacts
The state shall not sacrifice the few for the many, rejecting the sanctity of life. The state shall not stand in the place of God acting as the arbiter of truth and morality. The state shall not sacrifice our children or elders for future gain.More
