If Jesus Never Came.Written by Rev.A.R.Smith
Continued from page 1
So as you can see in just 1st couple of Chapters in Genisus, that it was man that started religion and not God. God, in begining of man had to deal with rebellion and hatred of His athourity by man, because of Fall of Adam. Remember meaning of religion,A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion. Quote”I am fascinated by how they twist and avoid truth in order to claim Bible is somehow holy.”Unquote Holy means; 1.Regarded with particular reverence or respect: blessed, hallowed, sacred. 2. Protected from violation or abuse by custom, law, or feelings of reverence: inviolable,Protected from violation or abuse by custom, law, or feelings of reverence Belonging to, derived from, or associated with a divine power; sacred. Regarded with or worthy of worship or veneration; revered: a holy book. Living according to a strict or highly moral religious or spiritual system; saintly: a holy person. Specified or set apart for a religious purpose: a holy place. Solemnly undertaken; sacrosanct: a holy pledge. Regarded as deserving special respect or reverence: Athiest, Agnostice, Humanist, Freethinkers very seldom attack The New Testiment for they see Old Testiment as a key to destroy all beliefe. War in old Testiment is a key target of many people. They fail to understand that it was mans lack of understanding, compassion and duty to all mankind that caused war. James 4:1, puts it this way; From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Lusts is key word here. Man in the, Old as well as New Testiment, even continueing on today, is primary cause of death and destruction. In Old Testiment, God had to destroy man so that mankind could survive, or evolve, eather way you wish to look at it. The reason for flood and death of all but a few lets look at; Gen 6:5 And GOD saw that wickedness of man was great in earth, and that every imagination of thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.Gen 6:13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with earth. The question here is,”Did God give mankind a chance to repent?” The answer is Yes.Here is their answer for death of men, women and children in Old Testiment. 2Pe 2:4 For if God spared not angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 2Pe 2:5 And spared not old world, but saved Noah eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in flood upon world of ungodly; 2Pe 2:6 And turning cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; 2Pe 2:7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with filthy conversation of wicked: 2Pe 2:8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) 2Pe 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver godly out of temptations, and to reserve unjust unto day of judgment to be punished: 2Pe 2:10 But chiefly them that walk after flesh in lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. 2Pe 2:11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before Lord. 2Pe 2:12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; Mans, corruption, evil, lust, greed and disreguard for other human life, brought about their own destruction, remember that evil brings forth evil and cannot change for it is not in its nature to do so. As for wars that Israel fought but order of God, 2nd Peter 2:4 thru 10, also answers that question. End Part 1. ars

so it,s virtue or substance of what? Things hope for . Bible tells us , if we possess then why do we hope? so can we say anything we hope for is faith? II. LETS look at verse 39 . Jesus said, take ye away stone.martha , sister of him that was dead , saith unto him , Lord , by this time he stinketh. for he has been dead four days." Martha was looking at present tense. even thou she notted Jesus deity , she as with mary believed in yesterday and tomorow faith. sometimes we as christians also forget whom we serve , we forget that God is creator of all things , visible and invisible colossians 1:16. Lets go to John 11,23. Jesus said unto her," thy brother shall rise again.: martha said unto him , I know that he shall rise again in resurection at last day. Many that Ive spoken to, belive in resurection at last day.: but its hard to get them to belive that God is a , now God. hes God of past , present and future . It seem true test of a christian lies in how much, now faith, they have, how much that they belive that Jesus is able to take of now proublens, how much that they belive , what he said, " I will never leave you nor forsake you , I will be with you always, even untill end of world. III. evidence of things not seen. WHEN you hope ,its things that you , do not possess. hope that dwells within us is that, same spirt that raised Jesus from dead, will also quicken our mortal bodys. This means to make us alive in Christ. to make us a sacrifice , to be able to say that, Im dead to sin, it no longer controlls my destiny , my life, my very soul, I am who I am , by grace of God. this is evidence of things not seen. now faith . verse 25 . Jesus said unto her," I am resurection , and life..... Lararus, come forth, " power in his voice , majesty in his words. his command to death, had to be obey , there was no other choice. Lazarus had to rise, he had to abey. Jesus was teaching faith. Conclusion,; According to apostile Paul, Hebrews 6; ,... let us go on to perfection....,let us start useing , NOW FAITH, we have such a short time left, lets use our faith to see our children saved , and name of Jesus built up to glory of Father.
