Matthew 25:13
Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.
Matthew 24:37-39
37But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
1 Thessalonians 5
1Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, 2for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
2 Peter 3:10
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.
Revelation 16:15
"Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed"
Luke 21:27
At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
John 1:51
He then added, "I tell you the truth, you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
2 Peter 1:16
We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty
1 Thessalonians 4:
16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
You belittle the greatness of God. But if you read a comic book hero let say green lantern you will believe that GL can do many things and can be at many places at the same time. You will be more amazed at those xmen comic fantasy with their different powers. If you'll allow me I will give you time how the One true God who is a Spirit in nature can have a physical body born in a manger and what is the purpose why He has to suffer and die in the cross of calvary.His name is Jesus. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The Alpha and Omega.
And why do you say 'peace be upon Him' every time you mention His name. He from the start is the peace that we need. Jesus is the Prince of Peace. The peace that He gives is far more different than any peace that this world can offer. Even to the point of death every people that have accepted Christ truly in their heart have gained that kind of peace.
Paul, the apostle, in the brink of death and in chain for preaching the gospel of salvation that Jesus brought here in this world, was still singing songs of praise to God. That is the peace that God can make to every men that accepted Jesus as Lord and Saviour of their life. He even said 'To live is Christ, to die is gain'.
Do you know Paul? Paul, a jew, having a name of Saul in the previous life, was one of the persecutors of Jesus Christ followers. He was one of the cruel leaders of the jew that hunted and killed Christians (follower of Christ). Paul being a jew knows and believe that there is one God, I agree, and that is very true even in the days of Adam, Noah, Abraham, etc.
Here is one encounter of Jesus with the jews then when He was preaching the good news of salvation.
John Chapter 10
30 I and the Father are one.”
31 Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him,
32 but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?”
33 “We are not stoning you for any of these,” replied the Jews, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”
As you can see here the jews was not really mad at Jesus for the many miracles He made ( healing the sick, making water into wine, casting out demons, etc.) but they are mad for they can not believe that these man they see in front of them claim to be God in the very way He said that He and the Father are one. You will not say abdul, that you and allah are one for that is blasphemy in your belief. And IF you were a jew at that time, you are one among those who will stone Jesus.
Prophecy of Isaiah before the child in the manger was born
Isaiah 9:6
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
It's christmas time. This is a tradition that people celebrate because of the birth of Jesus Christ. But who is Jesus Christ? Do we really know Him? Who is He to you? Why as a baby He wants to be killed by King Herod? In christmas traditions, men give gifts to their loved ones. Yes 'loved ones'. But have you ever thought that Jesus gave a gift to people who are not loveable in our own standards like murderers, thief, malicious thoughts, liars,etc. yes also liars.
Men acquired sin because of the disobedience of our first parent, Adam & Eve. and because of that disobedience the curse of being sinful in nature has been brought to people generation after generation. For it says in
Romans 3:
20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin. 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God
Psalm 14:
3 All have turned aside, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
People in the olden times were forgiven through intercession of the prophets who offered the best sacrifice like lambs and other livestock ask by God from the prophets, in the days of Noah , Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Joshua and other prophets of God.
But through Jesus, with the love of God that He gave to the world, the Son of God was slain in the cross of calvary so that we may have life. Not just a physical life that we see here today but a life that we will share with Jesus in God's Kingdom, free of all the burdens that this present world brings. And in Jesus, being the Lamb of God, the full sacrifice was done so that the shedding of His blood on the cross was meant to cleanse each one sin, to those who will BELEIVE in Jesus name and the sacrifice He made in calvary.
The Greatest Gift
John 3:16
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever BELIEVES in him shall not perish but have ETERNAL LIFE.
Ephesians 2 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the GIFT of God
How will we accept the GIFT of ETERNAL LIFE God is offering?
Understanding the Gift.
Some people don't really know or in self denial what what is in store for them when they die. But deep inside there is a fear in them , in their consciousness regarding the certainty where their soul will be after their term here on earth finishes.
Our God did not just create our first parent, Adam & Eve, to bear children just to live and die physically and to worry & have that fear when the time comes of our physical death.
Yes some say enjoy life and be merry for tomorrow we die. Yes, but there is still that question where we go after.
Even suicidal people are afraid. They commit suicide not because they are brave to face death but there is fear in them that led them to commit the ungodly thing w/c bring forth destruction in their relationship with the Holy God.
Fear that is not from God is Sin, And in nature, men are sinful and the wages of sin is death.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, ....(this is not just any death, for in the nature of men, be he bad or good, living here in earth will die physically. The death that is being mentioned here is spiritual death where our soul will suffer the eternal punishment in hell for those who did not believe in that One Holy Sacrifice OfGod)
...but the GIFT of God is ETERNAL LIFE in CHRIST JESUS our Lord.( So there it is. Again the Gift.
And the Gift is Eternal Life in Jesus Christ)
If you are accepting God's Gift of Eternal Life , believe in Jesus , receive Jesus as your personal Saviour & Master in all areas of your life. Yes. All. Repent. Surrender all of your sin and all weaknesses that Jesus wash it by His blood. Pray to Him. Talk to Him. You and God alone are in contact with each other.He knows what is in your heart if you really do want to be a part of His body.
Acts 2:38
38 Peter replied, “REPENT and be BAPTIZED, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the GIFT of the HOLY SPIRIT. (The GIFT of the HOLY SPIRIT of Jesus Christ is Eternal Life)
Mark 16:15-16
15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
16 Whoever BELIEVES and is BAPTIZED will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
After accepting truly that Gift, the Holy Spirit w/c guides us to the way of God's salvation will counsel us to His truth of righteousness.
John 14
16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another COUNSELOR (Isaiah 9:6) to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.
Note:
True Belief is in thought, in words and in deeds asking for the Holy Spirit 's help in Jesus Christ name.
Let us have in our hearts the true meaning of Christmas if Jesus is really the reason for this season and not just a means to fill in our stomach and glorify our self by our selfrighteous actions. Nothing can be compared to the gift that God through Jesus is offering mankind. The Gift of Eternal Life.
Kung iyong babasahin ang Aklat ng Gawa sa Bibliya, si Pablo ay isa sa mga Hudyo at isa sa mataas na Pharisees ng panahon na yon na kumikilala sa iisang Diyos at siya naman ang nararapat. Pero sa makikita mo sa unang kwento ng kanyang buhay ay isa siya sa tumutugis sa kristyano ng panahon na yon at nais niyang patahimikin ang maraming tao na sumasamba sa pangalan ng Panginoon Hesu Kristo noon.
Ginagawa niya ang pag uusig sa pamamagitan ng pananakit, pagpapakulong o maski pagkuha ng buhay ng tao tulad ng pagpapaapruba niya ng kamatayan ni St. Stephen sa (Acts 8:1)
Mabalik tayo sa iisang Diyos. Tama ang mga hudyo ng panahon ni Pablo at maski mga hudyo ngayon na iisa talaga ang Diyos. Pero ang mga tinutugis ni Pablo ay mga kapwa niya hudyo at mga griyego (wala sa hanay ng hudyo) na naging kristyano na dahil kay Kristo. Tinutugis ni Pablo ang mga ito dahil ang pakiwari niya ay sumasamba ang mga ito sa Panginoon Hesus na hindi naman daw Diyos. Eh ang batas sa hudyo ay wag ka sasamba kundi sa Diyos lamang. At yun ang pinanainiwalaan ni Pablo. Mabigat ang parusa noon kung sasamba ka pa sa iba. So patuloy na ginagawa ito ni Pablo sa mga kristyano nuon hanggang isang araw ay
Aklat ng Gawa 9: ( Si Saul magiging Pablo name niya sa mga susunod na talata ng Biblya)
At simula noon ay tagasunod na siya ni HesuKristo. Ngayon dahil si Pablo ay naging tagasunod na ni Hesus, sa darating na araw siya naman ang uusigin. The hunter became the hunted of his former cohorts. (dating kasama). Sumamba ba si Pablo sa iba ng Diyos? Hindi. Kasi nakilala na niya na si Hesus ang iisang Diyos na nagkatawan tao na inihula ng panahon ni Isaias
Hindi direktang sinabi ni Hesus na siya ay Diyos pagkat hindi pa napapanahon. Ang mga tao na ang puso ay tunay at para sa Diyos ay duon lamang niya isiniwalat. Ang tao ay may mata at pandinig pero pang physical lamang ang abot nito. Hingin mo sa Diyos ng taimtim na mabuksan ang espirituwal mong mata at tainga sa Salita niya at mahuhulog ang tumatalukbong sa mga ito.
Ngayon kung nais mong makamtan ang tunay na kaligtasan pagaralan mo ang aklat ng Gawa. Alamin mo si Hesus sa Aklat ni Juan atbp.
1 Timothy 1:15 ...Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners...
Roma 3:10... walang matuwid ni isa...
at ang kahihinatnan ng makasalanan mamamatay tao hanggang sa level ng sinungaling ay impyerno.
Ngunit Si Hesus ay nagdusa para sa ating kasalanan para wag tayo mabulid sa apoy ng impyerno.
Paniwalaan lang natin si Hesus. Siya ang pinto na dapat natin pasukan at hindi sa pamamagitan ng isang gusali na pinaskilan lang ng pangalan niya. Espiritwal ang usapan dito.
Sabi niya siya ang Daan, ang Katotohanan at ang Buhay
Kung tayo ay magpapakumbaba at taos pusong hihingi ng patawad sa ating mga kasalanan at papasukin siya sa ating buhay ay bubuksan niya ang ating isipan sa katotohanan ng kanyang Salita. Bibigyan niya tayo ng tunay na Kagalakan at kapayapaan despite sa nangyayaring kapighatian dito sa mundong ibabaw. kagalakan at kapayapaan na hindi makikita sa mundong kinagisnan.
Magpasakop lang tayo sa kanyang Espiritu. Hindi natin makakaya magbago kung wala ang kapuspusan ng Espiritu Santo galing sa Panginoon Hesus. Binigyan Niya ng karapatan ang bawat isa na sumalo sa hapag kainan ng kanyang Salita.
Pakanin mo ang sarili mo ng salita na nagbibigay sigla sa esprituwal mong katawan.
Matthew 4:4 Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"
John 6:35 Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.
Matthew 4:4 Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God."
John 6:51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."
John 6:32 Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.
John 6:33 For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."
John 6:35 Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.
John 6:58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your forefathers ate manna and died, but he who feeds on this bread will live forever."
Your aim is to have 'A movement of Christ-committed followers making Christ-committed followers @CCFOnline'.
Praise be to the Lord God Almighty in Jesus name.
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John.
14 But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”
15 Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; IT IS PROPER for us to do this TO FULFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS.” Then John consented.
Peter & Paul was one great followers of Christ implementing the Great Commission Matthew 28:19-
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the NAME of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Acts Chapter 2
38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 10:45-48
45 The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles.
46 For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God.
Then Peter said,
47 “Can anyone keep these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.”
48 So he ordered that they be baptized IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days.
A preacher in dissarray on how God is one?
First he talks about humbleness w/c is a fruit that one must have if you are in Christ. Amen.
Then this preacher shifted to the Godhead (on how God is one) topic where he find it too difficult to explain then shifted back again to humbleness.
My comment in youtube made into a blog
From humbleness to Godhead to humbleness. I humbly believe of living a life of humility is a fruit of the Spirit. I agree with your topic. But on the Godhead you do not fully know well who Jesus is.
Because you always dwell on the name 'trinity' na galing pa rin sa catholic doctrine. Leave it and hold on to the Word of God. Buti pa ung sa sanlibutan ang alam talaga isang Diyos pero ang problema hindi nila kinilala si Jesus as Diyos....
Isaiah 45:22 -“Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I AM GOD, AND THERE IS NO OTHER
Isaiah 46:9- Remember the former things, those of long ago;
I AM GOD, AND THERE IS NO OTHER; I AM GOD, AND THERE IS NONE LIKE ME.
the mystery of the Godhead has been revealed and is no longer a mystery. The preacher says, "This God is a complete God and here is ANOTHER God , a complete God" (ginawa mo ng dalawa o tatlo ang Diyos)
Naguguluhan ka up to now for you have not surrendered all things to Christ even His Deity.
Napakaliit ng tingin mo sa Panginoon Jesus. You are explaining Godhead in a human understanding. You should ask for the mind of the Lord.
Yung sabihin mo lang na si Jesus ay iba sa Ama at Holy Spirit ay hindi mo talaga kilala pa ang pagka Diyos ni Hesus.
shifting topic because hindi na maipaliwanag kung paano naging isa ang Diyos
Ang sabihin mo na si Jesus ay hindi Ama at ang Espiritu Santo ay hindi mo talaga kilala si Hesus pagkat ang ipinalit mong pangalan ay trinity na galing sa katoliko. Kaya ang karamihan sa inyo sa pagsamba pa lang ay hindi maibuhos ang lahat pagkat hindi niyo tunay na kilala pa si Hesus.Malamya ang karamihan sa pagsamba, though hindi lahat, na hindi man lang makitaan na nagdadala ng bible pag worship service. 'Kinakahiya ba'?
Ang sabihin mo na iba ang pangalan ni si Hesus ay hindi ang Ama at Espritu at tumigil ka lamang sa Mateo 28:19 ay ginawa mo pang nagkasala si Pedro ng ihayag niya sa Acts 2:38 ay ' Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Ang katotohanan ay ang iisang Diyos ay nagkaroon ng role sa atin bilang Ama, Anak at Espiritu Santo sa Pangalan ni Jesus...
Si Jesus at hindi ang salitang trinity na kinopya niyo lang sa katoliko. The name Jesus ay ang kabuuan ng nature ng Diyos.
Colossians 2:9
New International Version (NIV) 9 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form,
Nanalangin kayo in Jesus name
You rebuke evil spirit in Jesus name
You take the communion in Jesus name
You claim victory in Jesus name
And many more
But- Where you baptized in Jesus Christ name?....
If not, you disown the works of the apostle where God has commanded the Great Commission. Dyan makikita ang tunay na pagpapalaganap ng tunay na ebenghelyo ni Hesus.
Believe in Jesus that He died. was buried and rose again for the redemption of our sin so that we might have everlasting life. Receive Him in your heart to be the Lord and Master of everything regarding your daily life. And Repent and be Baptized in His Name. The name above every name. Jesus Christ. All Glory belong to our One God. Jesus.
If you can not accept that, yes ,you who have accepted Christ in your heart, Who else do you have?
Ikaw kaibigan ano ba mga papel mo sa buhay? Madami di ba? Bat ang Diyos hindi mo maarok kung gaano kalawak ang kakayanan niya para gampanan ang papel niya bilang Ama, Anak at Espiritu Santo sa pangalan ni Hesus? Mas malawak ka ba sa Diyos?
I say, Humble yourself in the name of Jesus Christ.
Nandun na sa bibig mo, nandun na sa salita na binasa mo yet you continually deny the fullness of the Godhead is in Jesus Christ name.
Puro ka joke. The Kingdom of God is not a laughing matter. Preach the Gospel of salvation for every services. You must have that burden for lost souls to be saved. Ask people to receive Christ at the end of every service. It is up o them if they will answer the call. Invite for an altar call. This is the day of salvation. Being a member or regular attendee of your congregation doesn't mean that they are already disciples of Jesus.
at 0:31:28 nahirapan na siya magpaliwanag. Ang hirap daw para sa Diyos. Maliit talaga tingin niya sa Diyos. Espiritual ang usapan dito bro hindi pang laman.. Mahirap niyang tanggapin na ang name na Jesus Christ ay para sa tatlong manifestation pero ang name na 'trinity' tanggap niya sa tatlo.
Napakahirap ba intindihin ng pagiging isa ng Diyos? Ang hirap daw sabi ng mangangaral na ito. Let me give a good example of the oneness of God. Water in the bathub, ice from a freezer and water vapor. What is their chemical name? from Answer.com it is called H2O. So it has one name.
How about the name Jesus being the Father too and the Holy Spirit?
Isaiah 9:6
6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, EVERLASTING FATHER, Prince of Peace. (ilan ba father?)
On Jesus being the Spirit. Di ba Jesus is Lord? Amen?
2 Cor 3:
17 Now the LORD is the SPIRIT, and where the SPIRIT of the LORD is, there is freedom.
18 And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the LORD, who is the SPIRIT.
Di ba pangako niya na ipadadala niya ang Holy Spirit? Eh sino pa ba un kundi si Hesus in Spirit manifestation. Hallelujah!Praise the Lord! Now you know.
I just noticed. All people baptized in the name of Jesus Christ is very high in stamina in worshipping God Almighty.
1 Peter 3:21
New International Version (NIV)
21and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God.It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
Galatians 3:27
GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)
27Clearly, all of you who were baptized in Christ’s name have clothed yourselves with Christ.
