Lies or Truth?




You will know the truth and the truth will set you free... John 8:32

I was walking in HWT (Half-Way-Tree) yesterday (read Friday) and saw this 'innocent enough' looking elderly white woman, at the traffic lights, handing out what looked like tracts. The front of the tract read 'Does God Really Love You?' and the front of her shirt read- Judgement Day. I was in a hurry but I thought I would take one for reading sake and to encourage others to take one (you know...do my good deed for the day :) . When I got to my destination and flipped through the tract boy was I glad that I had taken one! 
Inside the Tract...
Well like many other tracts this four-fold beauty was encouraging and urging people to accept Christ; to be persuaded of their sinful nature and believe that it is only through Christ that man (read man and woman, boy and girl) can be made right with God. It also encouraged people to read the BIBLE and know the 'truth'...now for the bomb... http://www.ebiblefellowship.com/may21/

The LIE...
Ironically, this same tract (which many others took) went on to posit that...God is coming October 2011 and that the rapture will be 5mths earlier in May 2011. It also says that people should stop going to church as the church-age has ended. Surprising!!??? I know. 

The TRUTH...
 Now we know that this is a clear case of lies, false prophecy, heresy, eisegesis, whatever you want to call it. Plain and simple those specific claims are not in the Bible any at all. In fact, what the Bible says is that not even the Son who is seated at God's right hand will know the time and date appointed for judgement -Mark 13:31-33;1Thess 5:2.
 It also says that the Believers should not forsake the assembling of themselves-even more as they see the Day (Judgement Day) approaching -Hebrews 10:25. 
The tract also says that the Church cannot save anybody...which is true. People can only be saved by accepting Jesus Christ's death on the cross for their sins-John 3:16. However the Church serves a special purpose as people need the support of others in everything. Isolation is just one means of 'divide and conquer' Jamaica already has the other means down pact...competing denominations...different means to the same end of dividing and conquering. 

The ALERT...
One thing is for sure people need to know the truth and people need to accept Christ. Many don't know how to read others can't be bothered to read the B-I-B-L-E and false doctrine/heresy is on the run...I wonder why it is that people  believe they can introduce certain things to a population that claims to be Christian?
Is it that they assume that we are largely ignorant of what it is that we say we believe?

Taken

A blessing given, a privilege taken... What would you have grown up to be? Who can say? You never lived long enough   To swim across the river like the bigger boys,   To climb mango trees, hunt for ‘swims’,   Suck cocoa seeds all day in the summer,   Collect bird egg, go to market on your own.   You never lived to learn how to play an instrument Maybe the drums or the guitar Or maybe the piano, the trombone They can never tell the tale of how you studied hard   For the GSAT or maybe the CXC, CAPE, SAT, GRE... Or even how you never loved the books but could sing, Dance, draw, cook, paint, fix tings good. Ever describe that look on your face when You get your first job, purchase your first car,   Start your own business, experience loss, bounce back ‘Check you first catty’, marry her Gracefully receive a position of leadership Walk into your own house, hold your first child in your hands. Who, what, and how can they ever explain why y...

The Unchanging One

In awe of you I stand, examining your plan for this life and the next, but all the world’s a mess My vision is at best clouded and all around me shrouded by the darkness that unfolds in the most unlikely of places I see it on those faces Once filled with your joy and peace Now they’re longing for release From the sickness and disease in life See how they struggle with the strife that seeks to pull them under Lord sometimes I wonder, when will it all end? But until then Until the answer comes When at last the battle’s done My gaze will remain transfixed Never flailing, forever remaining with you The Unchanging One. ~Live Life, Love God, One Enkounter at a Time~

The Story Behind-'Cherish the Love'

Ok...here's the story behind this event. I have two blogs that are my pride and joy that I like to experiment with, one can be traced back to me and the other is fairly anonymous (innocent stuff:). So I was doing some updates and checking out the stats, tweeting and all of that when I stumbled across #februarywish as a group/topic/search trending worldwide on twitter! Anyway, not surprisingly, most of the persons on there were throwing a pity party online and I could so relate. Bah Humbug! Last year that was my position. I even wore full Black (was going for the Mortisha Adams look) to the Pre-Valentine's Dinner I attended and was sour most of the time to say the least. Mid-way through the dinner and even during my 'on-stage performance', I just wanted to go home, not even company in misery could cure this case. You see the thing with Valentine's day is that there is no fooling yourself...you can't ignore it (unless of course, you are half robot). It is just...
