FAQ Part Two

Some people and world religions say there is another Jesus Christ. These are counterfeit definitions of Jesus, in contrast to the attributes of God and Jesus Christ described in the Bible. Some religions like Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses and Islam, three of the largest for this topic, believe Jesus was a created being, not God incarnate, not bodily crucified, and believe He was not bodily (physically) risen from the dead three days later.

God doesn't send a person to hell without first, the person's desire to be out of His presence, away from the one that created them. God first loved us by making us and later the opportunity to redeem our life of pride, rebellion, sinful nature, against a Holy and perfect Creator. He gives us the gift of salvation, if we respond with a true heart of going to Him and confessing our sins, and following Jesus Christ. We choose to believe and be His disciple, or reject Jesus our Maker and Savior and go to a place called hell.

Jesus Christ's grace, mercy and truth shall set you free. Keeping the old covenant law doesn’t set you free. Doing good works and attempting to bypass what He did on the cross with our merit or strictly with water baptism doesn't achieve salvation. The gift of salvation through the Mediator to the  Father is the only path that gives us entrance to heaven and everlasting life. The Bible says Jesus Christ is this Mediator. Jesus paid the debt on the cross as the perfect one-time sacrifice for our sins. However, we need to have belief in him and his bodily resurrection from the dead, with faith, and submit to Him, asking Him for forgiveness of all our sins,  in order to have eternal life.

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 3:23

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8

This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:5..

Many have had the situation where we stop attending church due to our wordly and past sinful baggage. We drop it all at the door, then enter in with a fake smile and a mask to cover our real self. Then, becoming who we really are when leaving the church. We slip back into our sinful life struggles due to not bringing submitting all of self to God. We are not fully surrendering to Christ.

How can a doctor help you if you hold back what you’re feeling? How can he  possibly give an accurate diagnosis or treatment if you hold back your symptoms from him?

We need to submit ourselves to the Lord fully, giving Jesus Christ control over all areas of your life so that He may have the opportunities to heal you from what your struggling with, with His long-term peace, hope and joy.

Does going to a church make you saved or a Christian?

Going to church may lead you in the right direction and ultimately bring you to saving faith in Jesus Christ. However, attending church in itself doesn't automatically make you saved and enter heaven. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian either.

Your current church or the one you attended in the past may be failing to reflect Jesus in a number of ways, such as gossiping or alienation.  Instead, the Holy Spirit's fruits—love and kindness.  But Jesus Christ is not the physical church.  If the church has let you down in some way, you might want to turn away from Jesus and the church, but you shouldn't do that.  The real church is not a physical establishment.  The genuine church consists of followers (the sheep) of Jesus Christ who are obedient to Him and His Holy Spirit.

How do you really get saved from your sins?

How do you become a genuine Christian?

What are Christian blind spots and how to resolve them?

There are the common blind spots all humans have as unbelievers at one time. One of the primary important ones is being blinded by our sinful nature to the Lord's Light and Good News of Salvation. The second, potentially equal, is us being blinded by Satan's dozens of deceptive tactics and darkness in order to keep us from seeing the Lord's Light and marvelous plan for our lives. 

In contrast, the Christian blind spots are right in front of us,  areas we don't yet recognize, or sin we keep in an off-limits room of our hearts and minds that we may nurture. We don't necessarily desire to have the Lord access this room to restore it at the moment.

 Monotheism is the belief in one God or deity, while polytheism is the belief in multiple gods or deities. Many of the world's major religions, such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, are monotheistic, believing in one God, while others, such as Hinduism and ancient Greek and Roman religions, are polytheistic, the belief in many gods, even to the point of hundreds or thousands of God's.

In the Christian faith, there is only one Almighty God, Maker of heaven and earth. Despite the Muslims confusion on the attributes of the God of the Bible, Him being triune in one essence. Christians still believe in one God and no other God, besides Him. Jesus Christ (the Son) has always existed outside of time. Jesus is not a created being.

We often would like to point the finger at God and blame Him for our own sinful consequences, actions or the lack of. People as a community in general or as an individual want to blame God for disease, cancer, trauma, accidents, and evil world events.

Most of what occurs involving injury and death is indeed our actions of risk, sin, disobedience, pride, selfishness, and certain evil leaders in history.

Some say the Bible is boring. These same ones often are the ones that also haven't been reading much of the Bible or some may even be detractors, attempting to find any excuse they can to not follow their Maker, as previously mentioned in Section 4 of FAQ. 

The Bible is full of exploration, trials, personal challenges, historically documented world events, prophecies, prophecy fulfillment, life and wisdom guidance, and how to fight the dark spiritual world. In addition, the subjects of science (not the terminology), archeology, geography, history world events and much more.

Starting with Genesis chapter one of the Bible: the triune Creator that has always existed outside of time, the self-sufficient Father, Son and Holy Spirit in communion with each other. 

Then, the science, adventure and the beginning of time, space and matter begins to develop. All life forms are created perfect, without sin, disease, corruption and death, made in the Creator's plan to be eternal and immortal. This in itself is not boring, and we haven't reached the next book of the 66 compilation of books in the Bible inspired by the Holy Spirit of God.

There are many items free in our lives, like food samples at a grocery store, and at the bank, such as a pen or lollipop is free. However, these things are paid for by you through store product purchases, or another person using bank fees, interest from loans, and other sources. There are a lot of other things in life that are free, such as presents that are given or paid for by others, and occasionally a free giveaway prize. 

But there is also the Bible's description of the free gift of salvation. We absolutely cannot earn this salvation and eternal life through our good deeds, nor can anybody else provide it to us. Only the God-incarnate Jesus Christ and the sin debt for which He paid the price on the cross can provide you this unique gift for your afterlife.

You may decide to try to appease God in more agreeable ways, including your family's religious customs, such as Judaism, Islam, or Catholicism, and the idea that we must do something to merit our salvation.  However, according to the entirety of the Bible's message, religious customs, mantras, sacraments, penance, and rituals are unacceptable.  God's plan of salvation—Jesus Christ the Messiah, the Mediator, and His one-time, flawless holy sacrifice—along with His torture, crucifixion, and death on the cross—is what is acceptable for our sin due. His resurrection from the dead three days later, gives us this redemption of our soul. In the event that we believe in Jesus Christ and follow him as our Savior and equally as our Lord, He will raise us from the grave as well, if we truly follow Him now. We are required to be His authentic disciple and follow His Word, His light, wisdom and absolute truth, the Bible.

The concept of a free gift is in contrast to the man-made assumption that salvation is somehow acquired by good acts, purchased with wealth, tithing, or maybe following a set of religious church dogma and laws.

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men.. Titus 2:11

For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Ephesians 2:8

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12

But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. Romans 5:15

Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water [Spiritual water and salvation]. John 4:10

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. [eternal life for our soul]: John 11:25
