 The rejection of Christianity has a multitude of causes and in many circumstances becomes a non issue, proving the existence or non-existence of God is an exercise in futility, personally without the Bible God can be anything that comes into the mind. My belief in God based on the Old and New Testaments has to put it mildly been life changing and it is natural to want to share the experience with anyone prepared to listen, I am unaware if Atheism offers the same peace of mind based on my personal dealings over many years, Agnostics are a little different in most are undecided, but are still on the outside looking in, in times of crisis I believe it matters little if one believes in God or not people do look out for each other regardless which to me is the God consciousness in us all. 

Today we are confronted with two Gods and two Saviours within the ranks of Christians that support their views from the same bible.
These opposing views have been posted in recent times with very little feedback for reasons known only to those that take the time to read or listen, it is as though the whole thing is a big yawn and doesn’t have any bearing on the present or the future.
The individual man and woman who believe they are making decisions as to the character of God and Jesus are influenced by many things including their upbringing which may or may not include a Christian influence at all.
There is no argument that God calls the shots in all matters, and has revealed to mankind what He requires from mankind through His written word as contained in the Bible, and His Son Jesus.
Gods’ justice can be read throughout history, and Gods mercy when anyone reads the OT in particular, God chose certain people at certain times to do His bidding and to make it known what was acceptable in morality and daily living, to falter as an individual or a Nation brought consequences based on justice and mercy.
In other words the people were forewarned from Adam through to the last book of the NT that obedience had its reward, and disobedience would be punished.
But we are being told today that God who cannot change has all along deceived mankind into a false sense of security through the Atonement of Jesus.
And we must now believe that those chosen before time alone are saved, and the rest are condemned no matter what they do according to those that align themselves with Calvinism.
The only way to come to this conclusion is to perform incredible gymnastics with Holy writ, change the meaning of words to suit the theology, and ignore masses of scripture.
The bottom line is this, Jesus did not die for all mankind, He only died for those chosen by God, and the rest can go to hell.
May God have mercy on those that teach such things.

                       

Today is the era of deception.
We are deceived by our leaders from the highest office down to local officials.
We are deceived by those men and women proclaiming to speak the word of God.
We are deceived by friends who fail to disclose their real identity until it hurts.
The solution is to rely on Jesus He will not let you down.

                  

In opposition to what has and is being passed of as the Gospel stands clearcut Bible direction as to the teaching of Jesus and carried on by His followers, that being the call for sinners to repent and rely on Gods promises for a better life here and in the next life.
There is no one off profession of faith followed by a lack of evidence of any moral action that can be called obeying the Gospel.
Everywhere is evidence that those taking the name Christian keep the old life or acquire other sin without any jar to the conscience.
Much is written about homosexuals and their lifestyle being a contradiction of Gods standard yet others are welcomed into the fold of believers even after making it known they are adulterers and such. This is evidence that those adhering to the Once Saved Always Saved doctrine either do not know better or believe that God can be mocked without any repercussion.
Christianity today has been infiltrated by cults with very little coming from those that are required to contend for the faith.
Jesus said a long time ago that the way of salvation is very narrow, and the road to destruction is a broad highway, nobody has the capacity to turn those people locked into the well known cults especially when dealing with close mindedness, all anyone can do is put markers and warnings along these well-worn paths to destruction for those seeking the truth.

                   

                                     

There is without a doubt what can only be called mass confusion when it comes to the teaching of Jesus'
Taken at face value all paths lead to a solid relation with God and we should put away our differences in Christian circles and become brothers and sisters in one happy family.

This brotherhood of believers is a futile exercise becuase it runs in opposition to the teaching of Jesus and Paul.

There can be no worthwhile movement between believers and unbelievers to act otherwise is to act in shunning the clear teaching of ther NT.

In the USA in particular the Liberty enjoye by so many is being eroded supposedly to protect the masses from their enemies, the same thing is being allowed to happen to the Spiritual liberty also being eroded by the same forces.

                              

                         

                    

One of the most challenging things that can confront many individuals is to find a true and faithful friend, more so in the field of Christian fellowship be it personal face to face contact or using such sites as EP.
Friends can uphold each other in times of good and bad, and nothing is better than to have a sounding board willing to listen and not condemn, but be honest in all things.
For those that have such relationships then count your blessings, good friends are very rare and should be treasured while they can.
