You got it all wrong

The Church & politics are separate

US Govt does not represent Christianity

Christianity does not condone selling cigarettes of which US is number one exporter

Don't be confused or side tracked

See this

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

It says whosoever shall call

Whosoever means anybody can call

Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved

Saved from what?

Thou shalt call his name Jesus for He shall save His people from their sins

So get down on your knees wherever you are and just "CALL TO HIM TO SAVE YOU"

COME INTO YOUR HEART

WASH AWAY ALL YOUR SINS IN HIS PRECIOUS SHED BLOOD

ASK HIS HOLY SPIRIT TO TAKE FULL CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE

YOUR JOY WILL KNOW NO BOUNDS

Well, I think we need to have a "balanced view" when taking about God.

One should go for courses on theology, philosophy (Philosophy of God/Religion, Cultural Anthropology, etc.) to get a fair conceptualization of God. To talk about God, a lot of things need to be clarified.

Remember this: Calvin's conversion experience should be respected as this is something that makes him a better person. Believe in Jesus Christ is the centerpiece of Christianity - we should live a good life, and at the same time, we realize we are only humans with many imperfections (as no one is perfect). Some people might experience what we term as "private revelations by divine interventions." Private revelations are MEANT for the "person who experienced them" as the messages received are intended for him alone - different from "public revelations" that are applied to everyone. Not everyone has the same experience as we are all unique in our own way. If a private revelation leads a person to be a better person, then it bears fruit and it is good. So, Calvin becomes a better person - so his story needs to be respected.

Posted by THINKING MAN > 2021-08-29 16:39 | Report Abuse

Surely in this modern, scientific world, if a person claimed God appears to him and talks to him everyday, we would doubt whether it is true. These experiences could be due to real divine intervention, the dark power or psychological issues. Which is why we need to differentiate between "authentic and inauthentic experiences." When it comes to certain private revelations "which attain worldwide and public attraction – with the directive for the messages to be spread to the whole world (not in Calvin’s case), usually the Church would come out and do investigations (not in the case of "private revelations as experienced by many born-again faithful)." Private revelation, “intended only for the recipient”, is fine as long as it bears good fruit in certain aspect of life.

Many laypeople today misunderstand the claim/term, "God appears to me in his whole self, and talks to me face-to-face." This is our common human language Well, when God intends to communicate with a person, it is usually done through visions, apparitions, etc. (theological concepts dealing with revelations). These are the "channels" where the divine communicates with humans. But they are something RARE and not everyone will experience them.

GOD DOES NOT APPEAR TO A PERSON (IN THIS MODERN WORLD CONTEXT AND UNDERSTANDING) IN HIS WHOLE SELF, AND DOES NOT TALK TO HIM FACE-TO-FACE (like the way we meet up our friend and talk to him face-to-face). Instead, God uses visions, apparitions to communicate - these are NOT SEEING GOD FACE-TO-FACE. Since authentic visions or apparitions are RARE, some of these experiences could be caused by psychological factors or other forces that are not of divine origin. Nevertheless, what Calvin had experienced is something bearing fruit and should be respected. They are true and real to Calvin as his experiences brought something 'good unto him.’ We are all sinners, and we need to become better through the grace of God.

Posted by THINKING MAN > 2021-08-29 16:50 | Report Abuse

Of course, at the same time, we should respect other religions as there are many people of other faith. For example, Christianity and Buddhism all teach good values and virtues - leading people to become better in their life and so can attain their intended afterlife. Christianity and Buddhism do have a lot of differences when it comes to certain beliefs, doctrines or teachings, but they present faithful with meaningful lessons. In this case, all religions need to be respected in the public arena.

Remember, it is true that there are religious institutions which are involved in immoral practices. Well, these are human weaknesses. No religion is perfect in this world. As long as there are humans, they are surely some problems. Yes, some (not all) new religious sects or cults are going after financial benefits rather than sincere preaching. But there are also a lot which are sincere. Some (not all) people who are involved in Vatican dealings have certain problems or issues while some are honest. The same goes to other religions. But this doesn't mean that the "core teaching" of religion is no good - since all religions teach the same "universal value" - love, care, charity. Religious institutions need financial support from the faithful, this applies to all. Definitely, we should be careful if a religious institution manipulates people financially, or misleads people with weird, funny teachings. In general, all religions teach good values. But not all faithful are good. Some are good, some are not. This is important to note.

The Church maintains that faith and reason goes together. God’s existence is seen both in the supernatural and the natural. The Church doesn’t see science as going against religion, but sees it as something to explore more about this world which is not answered by religion. Science still cannot explain many things in religion since they are beyond human’s limited 5 senses.

The Church even encourages the progress of science to explore more about this world. Even in science and natural things (apart from religion), we can still explain the existence of God.
Christianity fades in the US and Europe. Churches which were previously fully filled are now slightly occupied during Sunday mass or service. But that doesn’t mean that God no longer exists.

This is a common and popular question! Why does God allow suffering and sorrows in this world? It needs a lengthy discussion, but I just make it short. If one looks at theology, everything good or bad happens under the watchful eyes of God. But we ask, "Why does God allow bad things to happen?” Well, we need to understand this. When God creates humans, God gives us freedom to live in this world. And since we have freedom or free will, we can do good or bad things. So, God allows things to happen by respecting our fully given freedom. This is different from saying that God causes all bad things to happen. God “allows humans to use their freedom as they are created free.” In doing so, humans might use freedom to do either good or bad deeds.

In saying so, suffering could be due to a lot of factors – divine purpose, one’s sin, weaknesses, upbringing, influences from others, genetic/natural tendencies, the dark power, other peoples’ action, circumstances/situations we are in, and/or mother nature/natural events (either due to purely natural consequences, or human actions which cause the nature, climate, world to change). Though we try to understand the meaning behind all these sufferings and/or evils, we can get some ideas. However, on another perspective, at times suffering is still "a part of the mystery." We might be able to EXPLAIN SOMETHING, but of course, we still CANNOT EXPLAIN EVERYTHING.

Whether a person wants to believe in God, surely it is his own decision or choice. We need to differentiate between "belief in God's existence by a person" and "God's actual existence." DON'T MIX THEM UP!

IF you do not believe in the Almighty God, then the Almighty God does not exist FOR YOU ONLY, but this DOESN'T mean that the Almighty God really DOESN'T EXIST OUT THERE. For those who believe, the Almighty God does exist for them. Of course, what you wish to believe is what it makes REAL FOR YOU, BUT THIS DOESN'T MEAN IT IS REAL OUTSIDE THERE! Since there are some unjustified, unfair ideas presented here, it is justified to say something here.

Posted by THINKING MAN > 2021-08-29 17:26 | Report Abuse

The world is surely filled with a lot of inequality and unfairness. While it is true that some people are more predisposed to do bad things like cheating, stealing, hurting people, etc. due to the environment, circumstance they are in, or even due to their genetic, it is therefore our human responsibility to lead everyone to the right pathway (as intended by God). But one might have asked, would they go to heaven or hell? How would God judge them? Well, we cannot really answer whether this or that person would be saved. All is required is to repent and believe in Jesus/God. Whether the person would be saved or not DEPENDS ON GOD! We can’t say for certainty – we are only humans. But one thing we need to remember, we should try to be a good person in this world!

Regardless of what is said above, though humans try to understand God, WE CANNOT KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT GOD! Yes, God did reveal to us all that is important to our salvation, but we cannot “ABSOLUTELY KNOW” EVERYTHING ABOUT GOD! We know something about God, but GOD IS STILL LARGELY A MYSTERY AND UNKNOWN TO US! We can understand something about God, trying our best, however OUR KNOWLEDGE IS STILL LIMITED!

“GOD IS GOD, AND GOD IS GREATER THAN WHAT WE CAN THINK ABOUT HIM! PRAISE AND THANK GOD!”

Let us make man in our image after our likeness

Now Christians don't believe in three Gods but only One God

And this God exists in the form of 3 distinct Persons called

The Father
The Son
The Holy Spirit

They are of the same substance and co-equal in power

Why must it be so?

Because of Adam sin entered into the world and death by sin . so death passed upon all men

Jesus is called the 2nd man from heaven who did no sin but suffered and paid for our sins by His death of the cross where He shed His precious blood to wash away all our sins

because without shedding of Blood there is no propitiation (forgiveness ) of sin

The Jews used to sacrifice a lamb or goat on the day of atonement (Yom kippur)

The lamb was killed in Moses time when the blood was applied to the door posts so that the death angel will not enter to kill the 1st born son during the last plaque

But that lamb is a type

Passover in judgment of their sins because in future day God sent His Son to be the Lamb of the World that truly take away men's sins

That all who accept His free gift of salvation by faith in His atoning death will be saved

Why did Jesus pray to God ?

He took the form of a man although He is also God the very God with all the powers of God

But on earth He has to take the form of man, live like man and subjected to temptations like man yet with no sin

He is the only man that lived a sinless life in dependent upon God

God hath made Him to be sin-bearer who himself committed no sin that we might be made righteous in God through Him

There is a story to illustrate this truth

Once there lived a sheep with her baby lamb
But the mother sheep died and the baby lamb needed milk

So the farmer put the baby lamb to feed from another sheep

The sheep could smell that this lamb is not hers

So she refused to give her milk

Knowing that the lamb will not survive the farmer thought of an idea

The sheep had also lost her lamb which has died

So he took the skin of the dead baby lamb and wrapped it over the living lamb

Now the sheep smelled the skin of her baby and allowed the orphaned lamb to take her milk and live

The morale of the story is this

When Adam and Eve took and ate that forbidden fruit they sinned and found out that they were naked And them made clothing out of leaves to cover themselves

Then God killed an animal and used the skin to cover them

That skin of covering is a type

A type of Jesus Christ who some day will die for man's sins

So God made Christ Jesus who did not commit sin to be sin-bearer for us that we might be made the Righteousness of God in Him

This is the exact picture of exchange

Jesus taking our sins

And we taking the Righteousness of Jesus as a covering

Trinity was not in the bible but was put in the bible but later on removed from the bible because bible scholars found the earlier version of Greek manuscript did not contained such verses.

As Trinity is a core doctrine of the Christians, how can you believed in this core doctrine if it was not mentioned in the bible. Instead there are many verses in the bible ( Old Testament and New Testament) that said the oneness of God. God's nature shouldnt change forever. If God is one during Adam's time, and Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Moses etc it cannot become a triune God during Jesus's time as Jesus himself said:-

Mark 12:29Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.

No. Temujin

The word Trinity has never been included in the Canon of the Bible

So there was no mention in the Greek NT nor the removal

If you read the Book of Esther you won't find the word "God" mentioned in the whole book. Yet God is working through Modecai & Queen Esther to save Israel from annihilation

7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

One third of the Angels rebelled against God by choosing Lucifer: Two third of angels remain faithful & true to God in heaven

God has provided a means to forgive & save His Creation by the atoning death of His Son on the cross shedding His Precious Blood to wash away their sins & save all to the uttermost

But it is not automatic

It must be an individual decision

Just as now there is Covid 19

And Vaccines are available

Not all are immediately vaccinated

Each person must decide to get the vaccine individually (not automatic & not by force) But by free choice

So God has provided the means of Salvation. Each person MUST ACCEPT BY FAITH & CALL UPON THE NAME OF JESUS HIMSELF/HERSELF TO BE SAVED

I'll see the lights of glory
And I'll know He lives

CHORUS:
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone
Because I know, I know, He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives

ENDING:
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives.

1 One day when heaven was filled with His praises,
One day when sin was as black as could be,
Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin,
Dwelt among men, my example is He!

Refrain
Living, He loved me; dying, He saved me;
Buried, He carried my sins far away;
Rising, He justified freely, forever;
One day He’s coming: O glorious day!

2 One day they led Him up Calvary’s mountain,
One day they nailed Him to die on the tree;
Suffering anguish, despised and rejected,
Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He! [Refrain]

3 One day they left Him alone in the garden,
One day He rested, from suffering free;
Angels came down o’er His tomb to keep vigil;
Hope of the hopeless, my Savior is He! [Refrain]

4 One day the grave could conceal Him no longer,
One day the stone rolled away from the door;
Then He arose, over death He had conquered,
Now is ascended, my Lord ever more! [Refrain]

5 One day the trumpet will sound for His coming,
One day the skies with His glory will shine;
Wonderful day, my beloved ones bringing;
Glorious Savior, this Jesus is mine! [Refrain]
