Sharing important aspects of the Christian faith
Welcome to "CHRISTIAN FAITH"! Greetings from the beautiful Mid North Coast, NSW!
"CHRISTIAN FAITH" is a new website; our 1st birthday won't be until mid-April. It's also a growing, non-commercial, evangelical website; helping you to understand why it's important to have "... a passion for truth", which really means a passion for Jesus.
We warmly welcome you to our site! Five local Christian blokes, from three different churches, serving the community together. And, also ... we really value your help & feedback too! Know any really good evangelical links? Please let us know.
Elton John – Jesus was gay!
Well known theologian, Elton John, has given us a ‘pearl of wisdom’ by declaring Jesus was homosexual. Sorry Elton, but others have beaten you to that one. You have simply fallen in to one of the oldest errors of humanity; making God in man’s image.
Keep it simple!
Lately, Bruce Winter has been working on a theory that people like to make things more complex than they really need to be.
Now he's not suggesting some things aren’t tricky. Nuclear physics for example. It looks pretty hard; or learning Swahili; the finer workings of the human eye. Things like these are inherently complex and the natural forte of brainwave types.
But what about the gospel? Is it inherently complex? Bruce doesn't think it is!
Salvation - past, present and future
Curiously, the Bible describes our salvation as occurring in the past, present and future tenses. You have been saved, you are being saved and you will be saved.
At first this can seem like a problem to anyone in the assurance-of-salvation camp but, upon closer inspection, the problem disappears.
So, which is it? Were, are or will be?
John Calvin's Treatise on Relics
If you want to know how far the Church can stray from Biblical Christianity, check out John Calvin's Treatise on Relics.
In Calvin's day, one could tour the churches of Europe and in each place, find a relic from a moment in New Testament history.
Everything from the cross of Jesus to the bones of each Apostle and nearly everything they are said to have come in contact with was put on show.
It was middle ages tourism mixed with idolatry. How far have we come from these days I wonder?
