Help Give “JESUS” to Everyone, Everywhere \ Sharing \ Caring \ Loving \Theology

  Did a man named Jesus really live in Palestine 2,000 years ago?    Certainly, there is no doubt or question about that.    No secular historian disbelieves that, for it is a proven fact of history.    Many historians of Jesus’ day wrote about Him.    What is of much debate, however, is if He was God or not.    Was He just a man like everyone else, or was He really and truly God?    Did He just say He was?    Or did His followers later write in such a way to make Him seem to be God when He had no such claims? The implications of these answers are great.    How can we as Christians be sure?    Let’s look at some proofs of His deity from within and without the Bible. First, there is no doubt that Jesus claimed to be god. The whole tenor of his life points to that.He Verbally Claimed to be god many, many times (John 8:58, 10:30; 17:5; etc). He accepted worship as if He...

                            Nine Ways God Speaks to His People Have you ever heard someone's testimony of how God has spoken in clear way in particular situation? You may always find few in every small group or church, who always have accounts of God's clear voice. Have you ever wonder how can God speak to everyone but you? Does God really speak? or is it mere emotion or feeling? Does he really communicate in clear (sometimes audible) voice? The answer is  of course "Yes". He does.

If you want to know how things works perfectly, you need to read the manual. Bible is God's manual for his people. But as in case with ot...

BAPTISM Christian denominations differ widely on their teachings about baptism. Some believe baptism accomplishes the washing away of sin. Others consider baptism a form of exorcism from evil spirits. Still others teach that baptism is an important step of obedience in the believer’s life, yet only an acknowledgment of the salvation experience already accomplished - baptism itself has no power to cleanse or save from sin . The following takes a look at the latter perspective called "Believer's Baptism:" A general definition for the word baptism is “a rite of washing with water as a sign of religious purification and consecration.” This rite was practiced frequently in the Old Testament. It signified purity or cleansing from sin and devotion to God. Since baptism was first instituted in the Old Testament many have practiced it as a tradition yet have not fully understood its significance and meaning In the New Testament, the significance of baptism i...

JESUS IS MY BEST FRIEND  Did you know that Jesus wants to be our Best Friend?   We praise Jesus, worship Him, and serve Him, but friendship is what Jesus wants most of all.  What makes someone a good friend?  A friend is someone who accepts you just the way you are, believes in you and encourages you. Someone who is trustworthy, who never forsakes you, who forgives your mistakes, who enjoys being with you, and who makes you laugh.  Jesus wants to be this way with us. He is not a far away God. He wants us to spend time with Him. He wants to be your very best friend, and He wants you to be His!  Jesus is the best of everything we look for in a friend.  The Bible shows that Jesus was "cool". People wanted to be around Jesus. They wanted to hang out with Him. They wanted to be His friend. Jesus' last message to His disciples was that He wants to be our friend. (John 15:15)  In this we will learn abou...
