Default Re: There is only one God

Peer,

The ten commandments were given along with the other 633 laws so that man would see that man needed a savior because no one could abide by them fully at all times. It was impossible by design. Sure it kept man fenced in morally but the main purpose of the law was to point you to Jesus Christs' substitutionary sacrifice on the the cross. Instead of man offering goats and whatever else to take away whatever sin was committed, God provides the ultimate sacrifice for all time, ONE time. Those bloody sacrifices in the Old Testament were a type and shadow of what was to come (Christ Jesus). Christ fulfills the law for those that put their faith and trust in Him. This was the ultimate love of God that was given to man. God had to pay the highest payment for our inabilities to be acceptable to Him. A holy and just God had to provide a holy sacrifice, thus himself, thus the concept of the trinity- God the father, God the son, God the holy spirit. Not 3 gods, but 3 characteristics of the one God head. I am a father to my children, a husband to my wife and a son to my parents. I am not 3 separate people. God is one.

The Old testament pointed to the cross and the new testament pointed back at the cross. The central point to the bible is the cross not self or self awareness or any other new age self doctrine. That is the total opposite or antithesis to the bible. Yet this is exactly what ET's - I call them demons would have man divert his attention to rather than Christ Jesus-who casted them all out of heaven in the first place. The demons know their time is short and they want to lie and distract as many people away from Christ as they can possible get to go down with them as possible while the getting is good.

Why do I mention these things? Because the love of God is in me and I can't help but love back to the world with this truth.

There is a way that seems right to a man but in the end leads to death. Jesus said, "I am the way the truth and the light, and no one comes to the Father but through me".

You put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sin and God promises you everlasting life with Him one day and in the mean-time He gives you a peace that passes all understanding while on earth until He comes again for His children. This is the simplicity of the gospel (good news). This is why people go to church. They are so very greatful and like minded for what God has done for them. It is very real. Yes, some churches are corrupt, sure. No one is immune to greed and hypocracy. It plagues us all. Play with it enough and it blossoms quite effortlessly. The church is a refuge and support group of love to real Christians.

I am not fearful of October 14th what so ever. Truly I'm not. I know the bible talks about in the last days there will be more frequent signs and wonders in the heavens/skies and more frequent calamities on earth. These are merely birth pains of the coming of the Lord.
