QUOTES ON TOP

“I want something really worthwhile to live for. I want to invest this one life of mine as wisely as possible, in the place that yields the richest profits to the world and me…wherever it is, I want it to be God’s choice for me and not my own… Christ said, “He that would find his life shall lose it” and proved the truth of this divine paradox at Calvary. I want Him to lead me and His Holy Spirit to fill me.” – Betty Stam

DO NOT GET DECEIVED BY 'E-CONFESSIONAL'. CONFESS YOUR SINS ONLY TO JESUS CHRIST


Recently I heard the news that Pope Francis is granting plenary and partial indulgence through twitter. The plenary and partial indulgence is related to confessions. I was so shocked when I heard the news. And so I tried to find about the news through web and then I landed on a methodology to confess sins in online itself which was named e-confessional.

This is the first time in my life that I am hearing about e-confessional. So I just went into that website and they gave a list of the sins. Once we choose any one from the list available then the web leads us to the next page where they are asking us to choose the level of the crime committed. The level starts from E which is minor to A which is very severe. Once you choose the level the web page leads us to the confirmation of the sins we selected and proceed to confessional option. Once we proceed to confessional the page displays a prayer and then says our sins are absolved and we were declared free from our sins and guilt.

I could not believe that at all. I never thought that the lie had spread this much far. How fast the devil is spreading lies among people and how easily people are getting deceived!

My dear young friends do not give your mind and heart to the lies of the devil. There is only one way for to be forgiven. Bible tells us clearly about the way.

“...the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.” – 1 John 1:7

“In Him (Jesus Christ) we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.” – Ephesians 1:7

Confessing your sins to your pastor or any other servants of God will never help you in any way. Your redemption will never come through your pastor or any other holy people. Also you have to know that a confessional web page which was written using html or any other code can never ever forgive you or save you. 

You have to confess your sins to God. Your redemption will come through the blood of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ alone can forgive you. No other human can forgive you.

Even in my life when I did sins and suffered because of guilt I ran to so many servants of God. They did counsel me and they comforted me but no one could take away my guilt and forgive me. Then I ran to Jesus Christ in prayer. He accepted me as I was and then He had forgiven me. Also He removed the guilt and filled me with His Holy

Even today you might be suffering because of the guilt of your past sins. There is no need for you to run to any counsellors or any other servants of God. All you have to do is confess your sins to Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ will never cast you away. He will forgive you and remove the guilt. Jesus Christ will fill your heart with His everlasting joy and peace. God bless you.

TRUTH - 2 (SCIENTIFIC FACTS IN THE BIBLE - TAKEN FROM A FORWARDED EMAIL)

1. Only in recent years has science discovered that everything we see is composed of invisible atoms. Here, Scripture tells us that the
 "things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."

2. At a time when it was believed that the earth sat on a large animal or a giant (1500 B.C.), the Bible spoke of the earth’s free float in space:
"He...hangs the earth upon nothing" (Job 26:7).

 3. The prophet Isaiah also tells us that the earth is round:
"It is he that sits upon the circle of the earth" (Isaiah 40:22).
 
This is not a reference to a flat disk, as some skeptic maintain, but to a sphere. Secular man discovered this 2,400 years later. At a time when science believed that the earth was flat, it was the Scriptures that inspired Christopher Columbus to sail around the world. 

 4. God told Job in 1500 B.C.:
 "Can you send lightning’s, that they may go, and say to you, Here we are?"(Job 38:35). 

The Bible here is making what appears to be a scientifically ludicrous statement - that light can be sent, and then manifest itself in speech. But did you know that radio waves travel at the speed of light? This is why you can have instantaneous wireless communication with someone on the other side of the earth. 

 Science didn’t discover this until 1864 when "British scientist James Clerk Maxwell suggested that electricity and light waves were two forms of the same thing" (Modern Century Illustrated Encyclopedia).

 5. Science has discovered that stars emit radio waves, which are received on earth as a high pitch.
God mentioned this in Job 38:7:
"When the morning stars sang together..."

6. Solomon described a "cycle" of air currents two thousand years before scientists "discovered" them.
"The wind goes toward the south, and turns about unto the north; it whirls about continually, and the wind returns again according to his circuits" (Ecclesiastes 1:6).

7. Science expresses the universe in five terms:
Time, Space, Matter, Power, and Motion. 

Genesis 1:1,2 revealed such truths to the Hebrews in 1450 B.C.:
"In the beginning [time] God created [power] the heaven [space] and the earth [matter] . . . And the Spirit of God moved [motion] upon the face of the waters." 

 The first thing God tells man is that He controls of all aspects of the universe.

8. The great biological truth concerning the importance of blood in our body’s mechanism has been fully comprehended only in recent years. Up until 120 years ago, sick people were "bled," and many died because of the practice. If you lose your blood, you lose your life. 

Yet Leviticus 17:11, written 3,000 years ago, declared that blood is the source of life:
 "For the life of the flesh is in the blood."

 9. All things were made by Him (see John 1:3), including dinosaurs. Why then did the dinosaur disappear? 

The answer may be in Job 40:15–24.

 In this passage, God speaks about a great creature called "behemoth." Some commentators think this was a hippopotamus. However, the hippo’s tail isn’t like a large tree, but a small twig.

 Following are the characteristics of this huge animal: 
 It was the largest of all the creatures God made; was plant-eating (herbivorous); had its strength in its hips and a tail like a large tree. It had very strong bones, lived among the trees, drank massive amounts of water, and was not disturbed by a raging river.  He appears impervious to attack because his nose could pierce through snares, but Scripture says, 

"He that made him can make his sword to approach unto him."

 In other words, God caused this, the largest of all the creatures He had made, to become extinct.

10. Encyclopedia Britannica documents that in 1845, a young doctor in Vienna named Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis was horrified at the terrible death rate of women who gave birth in hospitals. As many as 30 percent died after giving birth.  Semmelweis noted that doctors would examine the bodies of patients who died, then, without washing their hands, go straight to the next ward and examine expectant mothers.

This was their normal practice, because the presence of microscopic diseases was unknown. Semmelweis insisted that doctors wash their hands before examinations, and the death rate immediately dropped to 2 percent. 

Look at the specific instructions God gave His people for when they encounter disease:

"And when he that has an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself even days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean" (Leviticus 15:13). 

Until recent years, doctors washed their hands in a bowl of water, leaving invisible germs on their hands. However, the Bible says specifically to wash hands under "running water."

11. Luke 17:34–36 says the Second Coming of Jesus Christ will occur while some are asleep at night and others are working at daytime activities in the field. 

This is a clear indication of a revolving earth, with day and night at the same time.

With all these truths revealed in Scripture ,how could a thinking person deny that the Bible is supernatural in origin? There is no other book in any of the world’s religions that contains scientific truth. 

In fact, they contain statements that are clearly unscientific. Hank Hanegraff said, 

"Faith in Christ is not some blind leap into a dark chasm, but a faith based on established evidence."

TRUTH ABOUT THE MORMON(FALSE) GOSPEL


“BUT THOUGH WE, OR AN ANGEL FROM HEAVEN, PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL TO YOU THAN THAT WHICH WE HAVE PREACHED TO YOU, LET HIM BE ACCURSED. AS WE SAID BEFORE, SO SAY I NOW AGAIN, IF ANY MAN PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL TO YOU THAN THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED, LET HIM BE ACCURSED.”
                                                                                                                           - GALATIANS 1:8,9
“BUT THESE ARE WRITTEN, THAT YOU MIGHT BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS THE CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD; AND THAT BELIEVING YOU MIGHT HAVE LIFE THROUGH HIS NAME.”
                                                                                                                           - JOHN 1:31

One day I and one of my colleague were roaming around in our town. At that time we came across a beautifully big built church. We were so amazed to see such a beautiful church. Every time we go in that way, we used to have a great desire to go inside that church. The name of the church is “CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST FOR LATTER DAY SAINTS”. Even the name of that church attracted us a lot. On a particular Wednesday we heard that there was an English class going inside the church. So we went in to see how the church was. The church was fully air conditioned with several rooms inside. Once the English class got over, the elder of the church took us and showed us various places inside the church. He opened a door of the big hall and showed us the place where the worship services will be held. As soon as we entered that hall, a great emptiness filled our hearts. I have never felt that kind of emptiness before in my life. It’s a terrible emptiness in our Spirit. We could not stand there at all. As we stood there, the elder began to say the story behind the establishment of the church. As he continued saying we clearly understood in our Spirit that he was telling a false gospel. So we left that place and came out. We understood that these church members are leading many people to go astray. Later we came to know that the gospel he presented to us was called as Mormon Gospel.

So my dear young friends, I present you the truth about this Mormon Gospel. 
The story begins in the year 1820. Joseph Smith a fifteen year old boy claimed he had a visit from God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. He said that they told him that all churches were wrong and were an abomination to God and that he should not join any of them.
            But according to the records of the Presbyterian Church, Smith was a member of that church till he was suspended for neglecting the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper in the year 1830. Even the records of the Methodist church states that Smith tried for membership in that church in the year 1828 but denied membership based on his low moral character. Also court records prove that Joseph Smith was arrested in New York in the year 1826 for being con-artist.
Later he said that he received visits from the angel Moroni, who Joseph Smith said was a resurrected being. Then, a few years later Joseph Smith said that he received a record from the angel Moroni, written on gold plates in "reformed Egyptian" language that no one but he could understand. He was also told not to show these gold plates to anyone, but that some time later a few selected people would be given the privilege to view them. He said that he then translated the plates and published the material as the "Book of Mormon" and gave the gold plates back to the angel Moroni.
            The Book of Mormon contains many plagiarisms of the King James English (at least 25,000 words). This is strange since the plates were supposed to have been in the ground many centuries before the King James Bible was completed in 1611! Also nearly 4000 changes have been made since the 1830 edition. How is that the Book of Mormon which they claim predates the KJV by 1500 years, could have precisely the same language word for word. They even quote words in italic which was actually supplied by the translators. But they claim it as an exact translation from the record received by the angel Moroni.
Smith proposed the “Plural Marriage” doctrine (Polygamy) which brought a great deal of trouble in his life and he was put to jail as he tried to seduce several women into it. The leaders of the Latter Day Saints Church have also taught that their Jesus was married and had children, and that he was even a polygamist. On the afternoon of June 27,1844 Joseph Smith was shot and killed as he tried to escape the jail window.
            He was murdered not by the group of anti-mormons but by the group of men whose wives and daughters he had tried to ruin. Before he died he killed two men and wound another by using a hand gun. Even today, Mormons are exalting Joseph as a Martyr. But the truth is he was in the jail for breaking the law and he killed people in the jail.
Mormons believe that one's salvation is based on such good works as baptism, good deeds, missionary work, and following Mormon teachings.
            Ephesians 2:8-9 says, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Romans 4:5 says that salvation comes to those who do not work for salvation, but believe on Jesus Christ instead!
The Book of Mormon is regarded as divinely inspired scripture among the Latter Day Saints Church believers. Mormons teach that man can become God, and that God was once a man.
            This is plain and simple heresy. Nowhere does the Bible say or imply that God was ever a man, or that man can become God! Malachi 3:6 says, "For I am the LORD, I change not..." How could this be true if God was once a man? Genesis 1:1 states that God existed "in the beginning" before man was ever created. John 4:24 states that God is a "spirit," and Jesus tells us in John 1:18 that no man has seen God at any time. Numbers 23:19 says that "God is not a man that he should lie; neither the son of man that he should repent." God has always been God, and no one has ever "become" God.
Cardinal Doctrines of Latter Day Saints Church
God has a body of flesh and bones
God is an exalted man
God is the product of eternal progression
Men can become gods
Marriage is for eternity
Baptism for the dead
Second chance for salvation after death
The truth is
No city peculiar to the Book of Mormon has ever been located.
No names peculiar to the Book of Mormon has ever been found in the new world inscriptions.
No ancient copies of the Book of Mormon have ever been found.
No mention of people, places and nations peculiar to the Book of Mormon has ever been found.
There is not one iota of evidence from archaeology which can provide evidence for the truth of the Book of Mormon
This is in absolute contrast to Bible, the accuracy of which has been supported in thousands of ways by archaeological research.

Friend, make no mistake about it--Mormonism is a dangerous cult. In the eyes of man, the Mormons seem very respectable, but the light of God's word reveals the true wolves behind the sheep clothing. Jesus said, "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." (Mat. 7:15)
Jesus Christ came into this world to lay down His sinless life for YOU--to pay for your sins. “And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin.” (I John 3:5) Jesus is your only hope for salvation. Only by receiving Him as your Saviour can you enter the gates of Heaven. There is no other way.  "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:12)
Confess your sins to Jesus Christ and get washed from all your sins in His precious Blood. Jesus paid your way to Heaven! Your church cannot save you! Only by receiving Jesus Christ as your Saviour can you escape the damnation of Hell. Romans 10:13 says, "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:9 says, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."
Ask the Lord to come into your heart and He will cleanse you from all sin. He will save you just as He promised. He will never cast away anyone who comes to Him. Seek Jesus Christ and you will be saved.
