CHRISTANITY AND SOME QUOTES

cross of Golgothakreuz cropped CHRISTANITY AND SOME QUOTES

1.”For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”

2. Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me”.

3. “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”

4. “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

5. “That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”

6. “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.”

7.”Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

8. Why is it that most people are not experiencing the abundant life?
Because…Man is sinful and separated from God. Therefore, he cannot know and experience God’s love and plan for his life.

9.”As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name” .

10.”By grace you have been saved through faith(in Jesus Christ); and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast”

11.”Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me.”

12. “I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

13.”the whole of Christian teaching would fall to the ground if it were the case that the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus were not events in real history but stories told to illustrate truths which are valid apart from these happenings.”

14.”Christ died for our sins…He was buried…He was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures…He appeared to Peter, then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred…”

Today also I truly believe that power rather greatest power is present in the air of earth itself, which is known as GOD. One can only feel these powers but can not see. I have of course felt and also seen the powers of GOD and evil in my life. I don’t want to explain it here but if you want to read about it go to…

DAUGHTERS ARE GREAT and read the story about it there.

WILL JESUS RETURN IN 2012?

END OF EARTH, Mayan calendar and 2012 are in air. Media is going wild on this topic and the Mayan calendar thing has almost eclipsed the relevance of the Second Coming of Jesus. Are these things co-related or is it possible that Jesus will use December 21, 2012 as the date of his return to the earth? But it seems that all speculation is vain, but there are some very important Bible facts that have not changed, even though many are, even as we speak, throwing out any and all Bible beliefs, and swallowing hook line and sinker all the Mayan Myths.

Nostradamus, Church prophets, New Age Humanists, New World Order followers, and all the internet websites in the world cannot change the validity of the Bible.

BIBLE clearly says and teaches that there is an End of the World and an End of this present age. Men can however deny this fact, turn their face off, and can defy the Bible. But this saying will not last forever. It will come soon. We are on the track to eternity and the engine is running full speed ahead on it. No one knows when it will reach its platform.

Bible also teaches that the ‘first’ coming of Jesus on this Earth was also planned by the God, so that our sins could be paid for on the cross of Calvary. Christ did not come the first time to rule and reign…that wasn’t his plan. Mankind needed a Savior, and Jesus is He.

Bible also warns us that if this time, Jesus will come, he will not coming as a sacrificial lamb, wounded and bleeding for our sins on the cross. Rather, at his next appearing, he is coming as the ruler of the universe to put down all evil. He will establish his kingdom on the earth.

We are told in Scripture that there will be a great battle at that second coming of Christ, as the armies of the world are gathered together unto the Valley of Megiddo. There, the battle of Armageddon will be fought. Christ will win, the new world order and its antichrist leader will be destroyed, and Jesus will set up his 1,000 year reign on the earth. This is when the lion will lie down with the lamb, a child will be able to play with a poisonous snake, and we will beat our swords into plows shears. Then, not until then, and only then will there be peace on earth.

Many people rather most of them don’t believe at the second coming of Jesus. There were also many scoffers at the first coming of Christ. They did not believe that Jesus was the Messiah. But you have only to look at all the Bible prophecies fulfilled 100% accurately by Christ at his first coming to be convinced that he is indeed the promised one. At this time there are many who doubt that Jesus will actually come again. But they don’t know that in which form he will come. But the amazing fact that Jesus Christ fulfilled hundreds of prophecies perfectly at his first coming (and no other person ever has or could), proves to us that he will fulfill all the prophecies perfectly of his second coming. It would be foolish to bet against such odds.

The date of Jesus’ second coming is not revealed in Scripture, and no one knows it now, either. Whatever happens on 12-21-2012, you can rest assured that some privileged few have not learned the date of His coming. But we at least know that Second Coming of Christ is a topic of Great concern.

Jesus of Nazareth

Also known as Jesus Christ or occasionally Jesus the Christ— is the central figure of Christianity. Jesus is one of the most important part of the life of a huge amount of population across the globe or we can say that Jesus is the only god which is worshiped through out the world.

Christians also view him as the Messiah foretold in the Old Testament; however, Judaism rejects these claims. Islam considers Jesus a prophet and also the Messiah while several other religions revere him in some way.But however it is seen that Whether it is Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Buddhist, or Christian… every one believes in its existence and believes in him.

Most critical scholars in the fields of history and biblical studies believe that some parts of the New Testament are useful for reconstructing Jesus’ life, agreeing that he was a Jew who was regarded as a teacher and healer. They also generally accept that he was baptized by John the Baptist, and was crucified in Jerusalem on the orders of the Roman Prefect of Judaea, Pontius Pilate, on the charge of sedition against the Roman Empire.

Who is Jesus?

Jesus+arms+lifted Who is Jesus?
Who is Jesus Christ? Is today also a biggest question mark for his followers. The disciples, followers and his devotees only truly believes in him and find him in them selves.
Some calls him with the name Yeshu, some called him Mesiha, son of god, divine personality, lord himself, etc. etc. etc. Is Yeshua really the promised Messiah of Israel of the Old Testament? Is Jesus Christ truly the Son of God … literally God Himself, the Divine living within human flesh? Were Jesus Christ’s claims that of a Liar or Lunatic … or is He really Lord of the universe?
Aside from these few conclusions, academic studies remain inconclusive about the chronology, the central message of Jesus’ preaching, his social class, cultural environment, and religious orientation. Scholars offer competing descriptions of Jesus as the awaited Messiah, as a self-described Messiah, as the leader of an apocalyptic movement, as an itinerant sage, as a charismatic healer, and as the founder of an independent religious movement.
Christian views of Jesus center on the belief that Jesus is divine, is the Messiah whose coming was prophesied in the Old Testament, and that he was resurrected after his crucifixion. Christians do predominantly believe that Jesus is the “Son of God” (generally meaning that he is God the Son, the second person in the Trinity) who came to provide salvation and reconciliation with God by his death for their sins. Other Christian beliefs include Jesus’ virgin birth, performance of miracles, ascension into Heaven, and a future Second Coming.
Have you ever met somebody with such personal magnetism that he/she is always the center of attention? Possibly his/her personality or intelligence but something about him/her is enigmatic. Well, that’s the way it was two thousand years ago with Jesus Christ. Jesus is believed to be great to all those who saw and heard him.
In Islam, Jesus is considered one of God’s important prophets, a bringer of scripture, and a worker of miracles. Jesus is also called “Messiah”, but Islam does not teach that he was divine. Islam teaches that Jesus ascended bodily to heaven without experiencing the crucifixion and resurrection, rather than the traditional Christian belief of the death and resurrection of Jesus.

Jesus

What was it about Jesus Christ that made the difference in the thinking of a common man and also a great difference in the society? Was he merely a great man, was he sent by god, was he god himself or something more than all these? These questions get to the heart of common man and asked about who Jesus really was? Some believes he was merely a great moral teacher; others believe he was simply the leader of the world’s greatest religion. But many believe something far more than these all. Christians who believe in Jesus firmly also believe that God has actually visited us in human form in the form of Jesus.Jesus changed the world for the next 20 centuries. Other moral and religious leaders have left an impact-–but nothing like that unknown carpenter from Nazareth.
Every one here may want to take a tour of some of the major highlights of Jesus’ life. Or they may want to preview what people were saying before Christ was born. Of course, you may also want to check out Jesus’ claims about himself and some may be interested in learning about the the miracles he performed and miracles happened to the devotees of him. Knowledgeable and some great people on this earth agreed and will agree that Jesus Christ has made quite a powerful impact on the world and his disciples then.

But the thing is that the great personalities, messiah or humans that existed in the name of god are today remembered only for the miracles they did, and the stories about their miracles. They are only remembered for they are an Extraordinary and Supernatural. Will gods were remembered from true heart and devotion for long? is still a question. But after all is said and done, the key question for you is, “What does all this information about Jesus Christ have to do with my life?” Or, you may have other questions.

Birth of Jesus

jesus preaching the followers Birth of Jesus
According to Matthew and Luke, Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea to Mary, a virgin, by a miracle of the Holy Spirit.
In Luke, the angel Gabriel visits Mary to tell her that she was chosen to bear the Son of God. An order of Caesar Augustus had forced Mary and Joseph to leave their homes in Nazareth and come to the home of Joseph’s ancestors, the house of David, for the Census of Quirinius. After Jesus’ birth, the couple was forced to use a manger in place of a crib because of a shortage of accommodation. An angel announced Jesus’ birth to shepherds who left their flocks to see the newborn child and who subsequently publicized what they had witnessed throughout the area.
In Matthew, the “Wise Men” or “Magi” bring gifts to the infant Jesus after following a star which they believe was a sign that the King of the Jews had been born. King Herod hears of Jesus’ birth from the Wise Men and tries to kill him by massacring all the male children in Bethlehem under the age of two. The family flees to Egypt and remains there until Herod’s death, whereupon they settle in Nazareth to avoid living under the authority of Herod’s son and successor Archelaus.
When was Jesus born?
Scholars and some of his disciples stated that Jesus was born in 7–2 BC/BCE and died 26–36 AD/CE. The Gospel of Matthew places Jesus’ birth under the reign of Herod the Great, who died in 4 BC/BCE, and the Gospel of Luke describes the birth as taking place during the first census of the Roman provinces of Syria and Iudaea in 6 AD/CE. They generally assume a date of birth between 6 and 4 BC/BCE.

When was Christmas first celebrated?

During the fourth century the birth of Jesus came to be celebrated on December 25, the same day ascribed to the birth of Mithras. Mithras, from the Persian god Mithra thousands of years prior when a calendar very different from the Roman calendar was in use, was adopted by Roman soldiers in the first century AD/CE, Latinized as “Mithras”.
From the thirteenth century, the celebration of Christmas has become an important Christian tradition. The common Western standard for numbering years, in which the current year is 2009, is also based on an early medieval attempt to count the years from Jesus’ birth.
According to other sources, December 25 was chosen because it coincided with the Roman festivity of Sol Invictus “The undefeated sun”; and because it was still being celebrated in the III century, the Church wanted to associate it with the birthday of Jesus rather than with a pagan god.
