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?

A Matter of Time

I don't think it's any coincidence that God's time  seems to be the theme for this month. There just always seems to be a time line involved in everything we want to get done. Anyway, as my birthday is fast approaching I've been spending time reflecting, going through pictures, reading my journals just really reflecting to get some perspective. What was interesting was that while going through the journal I just happened to buck up this to-do list...yea...one of those goal to-do lists  where I need to do x by y time . Funnily, the list was written back in 2006 and it had check boxes placed next to the goals. I noticed that at least 3 boxes were still not ticked at the time, while others were ticked and dated...and now for the surprise the unchecked were: 1. Become a lacto-ovo vegetarian  2. Go Natural and 3. Something else that I can't quite remember now.. . It was very funny to me, as reading it marked the 8th day since I had gone vegan with no desire for mea...

Facebook Free For Three

The challenge was never offered to me to quit facebook  but I did it and for three weeks at that...that's right...three whole weeks! I feel now is a good time to share some of the thought processes that went into that decision, some of the reactions and how I spent my time being facebook free. The Decision When I decided to take a 'longer than 24hrs' break from facebook it wasn't a decision I considered and deliberated on. As a matter of fact like nike...I just pretty much did it. I know many people in my network were left feeling puzzled, curious or just down right worried about the decision especially with how I made that step. Like I said before...I just did it. These days when people say they are not on facebook they are normally met with the 'which planet are you from look', so you can imagine the reactions I got.  This statement I recently heard aptly summarizes the overall reactions.   'Whoever is not on facebook is sick and needs help.' The R...

Perspective

There was a time I used to think single and alone is the worst thing a person could be. There were days I would sit on my teenage bed staring at the ceiling wondering why I wasn't desirable and I could hear my mom outside my window getting on with life - busying herself with laundry and other household chores.  Since my mother's death I have realized that the worst thing a person could be is ungrateful. Everyday there is something or someone in our lives to be grateful for.  The next worst thing a person could be is regretful. When you lose a loved one it's all you have - regret. I was so close to my mom yet I still regret the moments I wasted on the imaginary whos that were never in my life when I could have spent that time goofing around and learning more from my mother. Takeaway : Life is a gift and so are the people who were placed in our lives. Treasure who is in your life as tomorrow is promised to no one.
