A Word to Our Readers to Begin With, Many Thanks to You All for Making 2012 an Outstanding Year for Us A Word To Our Readers To begin with, many thanks to you all for making 2012 an outstanding year for us. It seems that the world has finally discovered the source of true knowledge, of peace of mind, and a more abundant and eternal way of life. Every month, our site was visited by people from about 80 countries, but when we looked at the year as a whole we discovered that we had unique visitors from 130 countries. And they did not just come and go, but downloaded our materials by the gigabyte. Nothing could make us happier, for it shows that our efforts have not been in vain. We could not help but think of the Scripture which says: “Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days” (Ecc 11:1). We just hope that “many days” will not be too many, for we are getting a bit tired and old to keep carrying on this burden alone. Now while an impressive number of people make good use of our website, the fact remains that many come to us not to seek further enlightenment on spiritual matters but to contend and argue with us. That makes us happy too, for our witness must go out to sinners and righteous alike. We just wonder why people are so defensive about their religion when it has become obvious that it is false and they worship the wrong gods. Do they really know what they worship? Have they ever considered or heard of these statements from Jesus Christ and His Apostles? Joh 4:21 Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. Joh 4:22 You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the [spiritual] Jews. Joh 4:23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 1Co 10:19 What am I saying then? That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything? 1Co 10:20 Rather, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons. 1Co 10:21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord's table and of the table of demons. Eph 4:4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; Eph 4:5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; Eph 4:6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. What these statements are telling us is that there is only one true way that leads to salvation, and many ways that lead to perdition, a fact made abundantly clear by Jesus Christ. Mat 7:13 "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate Mat 7:14 and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. Mat 7:15 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. False prophets are associated with the wide gate that leads to destruction, not the narrow gate that leads to life. Our nemeses would like to turn things around and portray us as the false prophets and they as the true ones. There is just one problem with that: we are not many and they are not few. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not meant to be witnessed to the world by many people but by very few; in fact by just one. Mal 4:4 "Remember the Law of Moses, My servant, Which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, With the statutes and judgments. The Christian Herald No 27 Page 1 Mal 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD. Mal 4:6 And he will turn The hearts of the fathers to the children, And the hearts of the children to their fathers, Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse. Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. Mat 24:21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. Mat 24:22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened. The fact that these and other end-time prophecies are being fulfilled before our eyes enrages our nemeses. It is not that they had not been given the chance to repent, turn around and participate, but as the Scriptures say, those that are evil by nature cannot be made straight. Ecc 1:15 What is crooked cannot be made straight, and what is lacking cannot be numbered. 2Pe 2:22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: "a dog returns to his own vomit," and, "a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire." Jesus Christ, whom we preach, has given humanity the greatest proof of God’s power and existence, and of true religion, salvation and eternal life. Joh 17:1 Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, Joh 17:2 as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. Joh 17:3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. One cannot know God and attain eternal life except through Jesus Christ. Joh 6:44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. Act 4:12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." Now although historically Christianity has had its ups and downs, it has always risen to the occasion, upheld its standards, and been a messenger for good. Whenever there were calamities in the world, and they’ve been coming thick and fast lately, Christians were always there to help. We are yet to see Muslims and people of other religions make a virtue of helping Christians who have fallen on hard times. Christian benefactors on the other hand make no distinction on whom they were going to help. No doubt, there are good people in Islam and other religions, for we know that in the Kingdom of God there will be people of all nations, but how and when they are going to get there is not entirely clear. What it is clear though is that they can only do so through the Lamb of God. Rev 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals. Rev 5:2 Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?" Rev 5:3 And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it. The Christian Herald No 27 Page 2 Rev 5:4 So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it. Rev 5:5 But one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals." Rev 5:6 And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. Rev 5:7 Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne. Rev 5:8 Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. Rev 5:9 And they sang a new song, saying: "You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, Rev 5:10 And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth." Rev 5:11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, Rev 5:12 saying with a loud voice: "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power and riches and wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing!" Rev 5:13 And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: "Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever!" Rev 5:14 Then the four living creatures said, "Amen!" And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped Him who lives forever and ever.

  • 1 the GOSPEL ACCORDING to JOHN General Observations
    1 Commentary to the Gospel according to John - Rev. John Schultz THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOHN General Observations: The Gospel according to John and the Synoptic Gospels: The fourth book of the New Testament is in most Greek manuscript simply known as “According to John.” This links this gospel to the three preceding ones. But it is obvious that John’s Gospel is distinct from what is known as “The Synoptic Gospels.” If we would leave John’s Gospel out of our Bible, we would deprive ourselves of a large part of truth that is indispensable to our understanding of the person of Jesus Christ and of the way of salvation. John teaches us lessons that are not found in the other Gospels. The Pulpit Commentary, in its extensive introduction to the Gospel of John, highlights the following points that are representative of John’s teaching, none of which are emphasized in a similar fashion in the other Gospels: § God is Spirit § God is called “the Father” § The teaching about “The Father and the Son” § The teaching about God and the Logos § The Word made flesh § The Son of God, the Christ, the Son of Man § The Spirit and the Trinity § The world as the creature of God § The world of men § The prince of this world § Salvation of the world J. Sidlow Baxter, in his book Exploring the Book, introduces the Gospel of John as follows: “A whole volume might be filled with the encomiums which scholars and saints have written on this ‘Gospel according to John.’ Is there anywhere a more exquisite compound of infinite profundity and lingual simplicity? Was there ever a sublimer subject more ingenuously interpreted? But its priceless preciousness, of course, lies in its Divine revealings and spiritual values.

    Humanity Must Be Saved From Self-Destruction: The Pope The Pope used his Christmas message to declare that saving humanity of homosexual conduct is as important as saving the tropical forests from destruction. He emphasised the importance of marriage between men and women and condemned homosexual acts as being against the will of God. “The Church must defend not only the earth, water and air as gifts of creation as belonging to everyone, but also humanity against self-destruction”, he said. In this context, the Pope showed that saving humanity of homosexuality is on the same line with saving the forests. Tropical forests deserve our protection, but man, as created, deserves nothing less.” In a clear reference to homosexuality, Pope Benedict XVI, showed that disrespect for the union between man and woman has been raised to the level of self-destruction of humanity. Moreover, he continued, any deviation from the principle of man/woman marriage is a “destruction of God’s creation”. The Catholic Church appreciated that homosexual acts are a sin. It is against marriage between people of the same sex, and in October the Vatican called homosexuality as being “a deviation, an irregularity”. This way, the Vatican opposes a United Nations declaration that wants to outlaw discrimination against homosexuals. Moreover, in some states such as Iran and Saudi Arabia, homosexuality draws the death penalty. The Vatican spokesman, Federico Lombardi, felt the need to clarify that the Vatican condemns the death penalty for any infraction, including homosexuality. (Romania Libera, 23 December, 2008) No one can say that we never publish anything good about the Pope.
