DAY 45: IF JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY, 
WHAT ABOUT THE DESERT ISLAND GUY WHO HAS NEVER HEARD OF HIM? [2 of 2] Even if our desert-island recluse was blind and deaf (so he could not see or hear God’s creation), Romans 2:14-15 talks about the second C (of the three C’s that prove God’s existence): the light of Conscience. People inherently know it’s wrong to murder. Where did that come from? If evolution were true, there would be no right and wrong, right? Of course, over time people like Hitler can have their conscience become seared; early on though, 
everyone knows it is inherently wrong to kill and steal. Where 
did that come from? Since many have not seen God’s Ten 
Commandments, where did they get those same morals? That’s the moral argument of existence, which logically tells us that universal, moral laws must come from a universal, moral-law giver—God. There has to be a God! So, Creation and Conscience (two C’s) testify that there is a God, and those two truths pull the rug from under skeptics; our island guy has no excuse. The third C is Christ, and this one is for you! We addressed the hypothetical straw-man argument of the desert-island guy, mountaintop person, or the one lost in isle thirty-seven at Walmart, but none of that matters if you are the one reading this. We are all sinners, Christ died to save us 
from hell, and all we must do is accept His free gift of salvation 
that He supplied when He died on the cross for our sins. 
If you hadn’t heard prior, at least you’re accountable 
now, and doesn’t that bring it back home? | image tagged in jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

DAY 39: WHAT DOES THE HINDU GREETING 
“NAMASTE” MEAN AND SHOULD CHRISTIANS SAY IT? Here is a thorough explanation: “The word namaste, pronounced ‘NUHM-uh-stay,’ is a common [Hindu greeting in India,] often used in conjunction with a small bow and with the palms of one’s hands placed together, fingers up, in front of the chest.... With some aspects of the Hindu/Indian culture becoming increasingly popular in other parts of the world, yoga for example, the use of namaste is increasingly popular as well. “A Christian 
should not say or do anything that originates from a different 
religion without first examining its meaning and origin... 
The word itself literally means ‘I bow to you’; 
culturally, it has come to mean, ‘I bow to the god in you,’ 
and more fully, ‘the god in me bows to the god in you.’; “The saying of namaste is incompatible with the Christian faith. Human beings are not gods. There is only one God, and He does not share His glory (Isaiah 42:8). Bowing to or showing any sort of respect to any false god is idolatry [Ten Commandments.] Depending on the version of Hinduism, Hindu beliefs and practices are polytheistic [many gods] or pantheistic [all is god] or a mixture of both. Namaste seems to come from the more pantheistic forms of Hinduism that see everything and everyone as god. Whether you actually intend to communicate the literal meaning of namaste is irrelevant. 
Would you say, ‘You are a god; I bow to you’ to someone in 
English? Neither should you say a word that means precisely 
that in Hindi, Nepali, or any other language.” | image tagged in hindu,namaste,god,bible | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

WHY WOULD ANYONE DECIDE TO WORSHIP SATAN? [1 OF 2] People are drawn to satanism for many reasons, one of which is its mysterious nature. However, those seekers quickly find it a hellish life, as this former devil worshiper warns: "I thought at first I could be a Satanist on just a philosophical level, but I could feel Satan wanted me to go on to a bigger level—to sacrificing bigger animals, then maybe to humans, and then even my life." Satanists have a high suicide rate, and Jesus explains that is because Lucifer is more than the father of lies, he’s also a murderer. So, even for non-satanists, thoughts of suicide come from Lucifer and his demons, as opposed to God who always chooses life. Whether Christian or not, no matter what you may be going through, extreme problems are almost always temporary—so suicide is a permanent solution to a passing issue. But lying Satan wants us to die before you and I can 
get saved through Jesus; thus, taking us with him to the Lake of Fire. 
Besides satanism’s mystery, another reason today’s young people 
get duped to join is because they’re looking for answers in places 
where the vast majority of recently generations would not go. America used to have an abundance of biblical Churches, but so many of our modern, supposedly Christian organizations are absolutely messed up; they go along with our world’s changing culture, becoming irrelevant and leaving our youth to look elsewhere for meaning in life. Young people want to the know the truth, but today’s Churches are only giving them self-help seminars—"Learn to be a better you!” God’s houses and shepherds don’t want to go against the world and its media-driven progressive culture, so they endlessly supply fluff meant to build the self-esteem of their congregations. But even that fails from the self-focus that ultimately damages people’s self-image, and deprives them of the joy and peace that comes from doing the Lord’s work, focusing on God and helping others come with us to heaven. Young people easily spot the shakiness of the shallow, self-help messages. 
They are sick of it. So, when today’s youth get no substance from the 
Church, they search elsewhere, even in the occult. | image tagged in satanism,devil,god,bible,jesus,evil | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

WHY WOULD ANYONE DECIDE TO WORSHIP SATAN? [2 OF 2] Besides the irrelevancy of so many apostate Christian Churches today, other reasons people choose satanism are because of changing societal customs, unusually intense pressures when families split, and an erosion of confidence in all our modern institutions. Just like a common reason young men will join deadly violent gangs, people today may decide to try satanism because of extreme loneliness: They feel no one cares about them, so they are excited to be wanted by anyone, even satanists. The devil and his minions try to steer every human toward sin and death. Praise God that we Christians are indwelled with the Holy Spirit—He stomps demons. Like a fatherless boy or girl joining a gang to have a “family,” a desperate recruit to satanism often joins because it’s at least a group that will accept him or her. As mentioned earlier, other converts to satanism do so for 
the mysticism: "The influence of Eastern religions in America and continued 
emphasis [on] psychic phenomenon and mind-expanding drugs [a huge 
part of the occult,] have turned many to the mystical approach to life."; Besides being attracted to magic and other mystic-spiritual teachings, today’s youth also find satanism through a music industry that has saturated our culture with occultism for decades, glorifying Lucifer through satanic lyrics that echo in young minds long after hearing the captivating tunes. Also prevalent with kids are fantasy, role-playing video games, something many adults also obsess over these days. Through those sorts of entertainments, as well as television and movies, our kids are constantly taught that satanism is cool, and can be a great way to gain the power often desperately sought by children and teenagers. Again, home breakups—the decline of intact, American families—are also to blame for easier recruiting by the occult: "The traditional family of dad, mom, and a child or two is getting harder to find. Only 11% of all US households [fit] this description." This means 89% of American households do not have 
both parents married to each other and living with the children—that’s messed 
up! One satanist admitted that his family situation contributed to him joining 
satanism: "If I had a close family relationship, I might not have gotten 
into satanism. There was an absence, and Satan filled that." | image tagged in satanism,devil,evil,god,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

CONTRARY TO TRADITIONAL PAINTINGS, WHAT DID JESUS PROBABLY LOOK LIKE? I had a seminary instructor who would remind us that the real appearance of Jesus is open for debate, even though most of history's artwork depicts Jesus as a good-looking Caucasian man with an appealing, smaller-than-average nose and rockstar hair flowing over his shoulders. Though this is not something we want to get into a knockdown-drag-out fight over, that image is most likely not what our Lord and Savior looked like. Jesus was a Jew, so he probably had a prominent nose, darker skin, and a style of men's hair from that time, possibly cropped off the shoulders, 
maybe something like John, Paul, George, and Ringo—the Beatles. Christ’s unlikely depiction has been popularized by Roman Catholicism, who mostly portray Jesus as a baby in Mary's arms—to promote their Mary worship—or as an adult with an unapproachable, somber, serious look on his face and a gold circle (halo) above and behind His head. As my seminary instructor would say, that sort of a Supreme Dude with the regal, intimidating, alien demeanor would never get children to approach Him. Completely contrary to that traditional, stony-faced notion of Jesus, the Bible shows our Lord as a friendly, fun-natured Fellow. Years ago, on the wall of my New York office, my all-time-favorite picture of Jesus showed Him with a big-old smile. I bet the real Christ displayed overflowing 
joy to be speaking with the people He created, a divine man walking 
around with a heart-warming twinkle in His eyes. | image tagged in jesus,christ,bible,catholic,god,jew | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
