DAY 74: DOES LUCIFER REALLY MEAN SATAN Here’s something you may not know: “lucifer,” which we equate with “Satan,” does appear in some Bible translations and I have no problem with that. In fact, we can see lucifer in Isaiah 14, which talks about the fall of Satan, and Ezekiel 28, which mentions wickedness being found in him, but “lucifer” is actually NOT a proper name, (though we normally capitalize it since the word is commonly used as a proper name for Satan). It’s a Latin word (derived from the Hebrew word) meaning “morning star.” The actual Latin word is luciferum. The translators of the Bible’s King James Version didn’t know what the Hebrew word meant so they literally transliterated the Latin word “lucifer,” or “luciferum,” or “morning star,” to lucifer. I don't bring that up to get into some tit for tat, but only to point out Mormonism’s claim that Lucifer is supposedly the brother of Jesus, and that both were born of physical, sexual relations between God (which can’t be because God is a spirit) and one of His “wives,” which makes no sense on many levels, including their use of “lucifer” for the devil’s name when it is not even a proper name. So, it can’t be a real character in their story of a supposed family squabble between Jesus and “Lucifer.” I am only picking this apart a bit because Mormonism claims their gospel is better than the Christian gospel and promises us that theirs was also inspired of God. But 
with all due respect, how can it be from God if their whole story 
is based on a completely flawed use of the word? | image tagged in lucifer,satan,jesus,god | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

WHY DO LESS THAN 50% OF CHRISTIANS TRUST THE BIBLE 100%? [4 of 4] Then there's this important fact about the rock solid credibility of the Bible: Scripture was written over a period of 1500 years, through 40 generations, by 40 authors from every walk of life, including kings, peasants, philosophers, fisherman, poets, statesmen, etc. Before getting saved, I used to say the Bible was whipped up by men, but even on his best day, man could never put together something like the Bible. The writers didn't even know each other, so how can critics claim they conspired? The diverse authors of the Bible were from all over the spectrum: Moses, was a political leader; Peter, a Fisherman; Amos, a herdsman; Joshua, a military general; Nehemiah, a cup bearer; Daniel, a prime minister; Luke, a doctor; 
Solomon, a King; Matthew, a tax collector; and Paul was a rabbi. Scripture was written in all kind of places: the wilderness, a dungeon, on a hillside, in a palace, from prison, while traveling, by John on the island of Patmos, and during military campaigns. That last one was during war, but some of the Bible was also written in times of peace. So there were many different moods of the authors, from the heights of joy to the depths of despair and sorrow. On top of all that, Scripture was written on three continents (Asia, Africa, and Europe) in three languages (Hebrew, Koine Greek, and a small part was Aramaic). With those aspects of the Bible in mind, here are the mind-blowers: Never once does the Bible contradict itself and it gives the same message throughout the Old and New Testament.
So I'll say it again: Even on their best day, there is NO WAY humans
—without God's direction—could ever whip up something like that. The Bible
is THE one authority for mankind, straight from our Creator! | image tagged in bible,god,christian,scripture,jesus,truth | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

DO WE HAVE AN ELEMENT IN THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH TODAY WHO LIKE TO DEMONSTRATE EXTREME SPIRITUALITY? Yes, some really want to show their charismatic side, and though I am not anti-love and other emotional fruits of a relationship with God, we all have a personal bond with Him. Our "Character of God" series has studies on related topics like the existence and intimacy of God, and those biblical teachings are all about how we can have a personal relationship with the Supreme Being! It still blows me away that, no matter how huge and awesome the Creator of the entire universe is, I can still have a personal relationship with Him. But it's not about a hyped-up experience 
where we somehow are not as spiritual as others if we 
aren’t regularly demonstrating intense emotion. | image tagged in charismatic,church,god,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

WITHIN CHRIST’S CHURCH, ARE WE SUPPOSED TO CALL OUT FALSE TEACHERS BY 
NAME? The apostle John said this in 3 John 1:9: “I wrote something to the Church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, will not accept our instruction.” Some in the Church today like to say, "Hey, you shouldn't call people out by name.” In fact, it is something I have personally gotten flak for, but I always wonder what Bible those accusers are reading. As a shepherd doing so in love for the Church, I like to be blunt, NOT skirting the issue with something like, "Hey Church, there's a really bad guy out there teaching a false, works-based doctrine that is leading people straight to hell, but I can’t warn you about who he is, so you’ll 
just have to hopefully discover him for yourselves. Good luck!”; That would be terrible! Out of love, we need to warn others to stay clear of those sorts of people, and do so by name instead of making people guess. Just as Jesus and the Apostle John did, I will be specific and mention names. In the passage above, John has no problem calling out Diotrephes by name, and Jesus did the same in Matthew 23, where the whole chapter is Jesus using harsh language to publicly berating the Pharisees. Paul does the same with Hymenaeus and Alexander when he called them out by name. The idea that we should not lovingly warn others by pinpointing specific 
people is a lie perpetrated by false teachers. It is their way 
to try silencing biblical Christians so the rats can continue 
spreading cancer through the Christ’s Church. | image tagged in bible,god,jesus,church,christian | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

HOW SHOULD WE EXPLAIN THE TRINITY? Some secularists and other non-Christians believe the Christian Trinity actually represents three Gods, which it does NOT. All three are the same essence of God, which is revealed in three ways: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. So, the math is not 1 + 1 + 1 = 3; instead, it is 1 x 1 x 1 = 1. Said another way, it is like the different states of water. 
When left alone, water is a liquid; frozen, it becomes a solid; and 
heated, it turns into a vapor. Which of those is not water? | image tagged in god,jesus,holy spirit,bible,trinity | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
