Imagine if…

– Imagine if ‘god’ didn’t exist (like atheists believe)… we would think that buildings didn’t need a architect or builder (or materials!), that artwork didn’t need an artist and that cars and planes appeared out of nothing. But we don’t.  – Imagine if God was impersonal and unknowable (as Hinduism teaches)… we would not have an inner desire to know others or be known by them. But we do.  -Imagine if God was singular (like Islam teaches)… we would all desire solitary confinement, but it remains one of humans’ worst tortures – a sure way to go mad.  – Imagine …

Was the Pope without Hope?

Thinking tonight of just how far the religious can be away from God and even opposed to Him. Tonight, the pope, the head of over a *billion* people who claim to know the truth about Jesus has died. But unfortunately, based on the beliefs of the religion he led, we don’t even know if He was saved & will be with Jesus in Heaven! That, to me, is incredibly sad – not just for him, but for millions possibly also deceived by false teachings. On the surface, his life and ideals (especially for the poor) are admirable and Christ-like. At …

JWs & the Gospel

Today, we received this in the mailbox {Declare the Good News Pamphlet}. It is easy to see from the artwork it is from the JW’s (AKA Jehovahs Witnesses, or followers of the Watchtower organisation). The ironic thing? They don’t even know what the Good News actually is!!  If you ask a JW to share the Gospel with you, they will stutter. Ray Comfort asks this regularly:  “I only have 1 minute to live, how can I be saved?”  They don’t know, because the Watchtower has perverted the Gospel to be a religious system (or cult), that insists its’ members earn …

We are Hamas:

“We will attack, injure, rape kill and kidnap people but then blame their home country for it. We will refuse to come to peace agreements unless we can get the upper hand by breaking them. We will hide in schools and hospitals making it impossible to get to us without civilian casualties. We will use women and children as part of our arsenal and use families to ‘house’ hostages. We will kill anyone who does not agree with our cause or follow our religious rules stringently. We will fire rockets into civilian areas so often that 50% of Israeli children …

Look what came in the mail! 1961 JW Bible…

I can’t believe how excited I am to receive this Bible today!  We likely have 50+ Bibles in the house (and around a thousand to give to people).  But this one is for me. The reason it’s so amazing & special? Because, unlike all the rest, it is *not* accurate! Yep you read that right!  No matter what translation of the Bible you have and no matter what year, it is likely 99.9% the same as nearly every other Bible out there. Our English language has changed, but the meaning of the Bible over thousands of years, 45,000+ manuscripts and …

Forgiveness for ‘sale’ – 100% Guaranteed for Catholics

You might be surprised by the claim that you can be forgiven for *everything* you have ever done. That’s right, 100%, guaranteed, no matter what you have done! You may have been told there is a long list of things you must do (and and even longer list of things you must not do) to be forgiven, but this is not true… These rules and regulations are man-made and form the basis of almost all religions, spread by well meaning, but deceived people.   Religious Rules: Keep the 10 Commandments  Get Baptised  Confess your sins to a priest  Do Penance …

Monogenes – Single Jeans and the Begotten Son

For Jesus Time today I wanted to start the children off on a direction I introduced yesterday: digging a little deeper into one particular doctrine in order to bring truth to people in other religions / cults. We watched some witnessing clips with some particular cults and I explained that I would let the children choose one topic or doctrine to research and learn – like a debating exercise. While I have read lots of different material on various cults, false doctrines and methods to bring truth, I find it great advice to use this one point, ‘dam crack’ method…
