Love-Cross-check!

Ready for a CROSS-CHECKING exercise?

1 Corinthians 13 is a perfect description of Jesus!

Does it have a shadow in the scriptures of the old covenant?

You can read the whole of this love chapter by substituting Love's other Name wherever the word "love" or "charity" (KJV) is used with the Word "Jesus".

It makes a whole lot of sense if you do, doesn't it?

Who is Jesus? Lego.

Our confession of who Jesus is, is oftentimes tainted, twisted and corrupted because of our traditions and beliefs formed through the man-made doctrine of the institutional church.

So many times have I heard people saying that it was Jesus who allowed some devastating event to happen in our lives so that that person could grow in faith and emerge a stronger person.

That is sick!

Pesach again?

Pesach is not Easter

The Jewish feast of Pesach is on again.

So are many other similar feasts and rituals that celebrate similar events and man-made traditions - see here.

… and somehow Christians feel obligated to celebrate one, if not a man-made cooked-up version of these feasts.

Easter-celebrating Christians will not be looking at the Jewish dates this year since the Passover is not aligned to the feast of Pesach (see here). 

Easter is not Pesach

How then, is the date for Easter determined on the Western calendar?

Task-master or Close-Companion? Paraklētos

It is amazing how we sometimes attribute functions and characteristics to the Holy Spirit that are simply not true. These characteristics are far divorced and distant from the kind and beautiful character of our Abba and Jesus Himself.

The Holy Spirit is not the One who reminds you of your bad, sinful past!

Thoroughly acquainted?

Paul is the apostle of Grace. Look how he greats the Colossian Christians by reminding them that they have a Hope, an Inheritance laid up in heaven for them. He says in Col 1:6:

It is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth.
