That's Twisted, Sister!

Jesus said Love one another, He didn't say look the other way. He didn't say change the rules ....

Let's look at just a couple of the Christian holidays and events we've twisted.

Christmas - 

Birth of Christ - Biggest gift giving {shopping} holiday.

Easter - 

Resurrection of Christ - Bunny rabbits, sharing chocolate eggs.

Marriage - 

A bonding lifetime commitment made before God - 

A contract that declares which assets belong to which party, during the tenor of the relationship.

We've taken prayer, the Bible and any aspect of 'christian' religion out of schools. We allow atheist after school programs and promote, 'learning' about alternative sexuality.

Churches have added rainbow flags and advertised their openness to those of alternate lifestyles.... 

Because we're supposed to 'LOVE ONE ANOTHER'. 

God hasn't changed. 

The Holy Bible and the words there in haven't changed.

We might want to be careful what we are changing, 'in the name of love' ..

Love doesn't let a child run into the street and get hit by a car.

Hebrews 13:8 King James Version (KJV)

8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Investigating the Evidence of Jesus

Cornelius Tacitus Roman History AD 112
Bishop of Antioch Ignatius AD 70 - 110
Clement of Alexandria AD 150 - 212

Many major religions recognize Jesus in one way or another.

Muslims - seen Him as a great prophet
Jewish - seen Him as a false teacher.
Buddhist - seen Him as an Enlightened one.

 B.C. Before Christ

A.D. After Death {of Christ}

Well over 1000 prophecies in the Old Testament speak of a future Messiah, over a thousand years prior to the birth of Christ.

The name

 Jesus means - He will save His people from their sin.

Immanuel means - God is with us.
