The Kingdom of God: Grace vs Works Part 1

There are really only two themes in the New Testament about salvation: Grace and Works. When contradictions arise surrounding these two, there will be those who will try to make interpretations to try to explain away the facts, they make … Continue reading

The Kingdom of God Part 1

Discovering the Kingdom of God I could never quite understand what the Kingdom of God was, where it was, or how one entered there, until I removed so much misconception that I had about Reality. Believe it or not, it … Continue reading

Why the Jews Reject Jesus as Messiah

Why do the Jews not accept Jesus as the Messiah?

Don’t the Jews believe that Jesus was a prophet and a Rabbi sent from God? They do. Don’t they believe in doing good works? They do. According to Jesus those who do this “go into life eternal”. If you don’t believe me read it for yourself: Mat 25:34-46.

However, there is really no requirement that one has to believe that Jesus was the Messiah to be ‘saved’. This thing about believing was something that Paul invented. The truth is that there is no solid evidence in the bible that Jesus was the Messiah, in the way that it has been corrupted and the way that the church insists on interpreting it.

According to how the bible is written and how many in the church interpret it, Jesus is disqualified from being the Messiah. Jesus was sent to the Jews and was a Jew himself, born under the Jewish Law.

However, there are some very problematic parts of it that seem to make it impossible to be a prophecy about the future “sacrifice” of Jesus and more about the nation of Israel. Continue reading

Lamb Of God Part 2

Is one’s sins forgiven and taken away or not?

This is very confusing. Is one’s sins forgiven and taken away or not? It seems that the bible says both. However, even though God and Jesus forgive sins, the bible shows that one must pay for his own sins. (See: Lamb of God Part 1) If there is no demand of punishment for offenses, then how is it that a man must reap what he sows, receive things done in his body whether good or bad, few or many stripes for unfaithfulness whether worthy of punishment or not?
