Jesus is the Son of God!

It is so easy to have doubt.  Doubt that Jesus was really who we believe that He is or that He was really the ONE.  I know that I have had my fair share of doubt and it has only come recently too.  Satan is trying to get me to stop pursuing a relationship with Christ, and so he is implanting these seeds of doubt in my mind.  Like, “was Jesus really THAT arrogant to think that HE was the son of God?” or “People like Joseph Smith claimed to be the be-all-end-all for his religion – Mormons only really look at his good things that he did, not the bad (of which there was plenty…)”  It is so easy to say – “why do I believe that Jesus is the son of God?”

You know- the Bible wasn’t always the Bible.  It was written all over the place, it was brought together by people to give us a glimpse into who and what God really is and was and is to come.  It was written all over the world, in different parts of the world at different times in the world.  These people didn’t set out and say, “I think that I am going to write a Bible today”, they were recording history and their situations.  Something that helped me was looking into it on-line.  I love that MIT did a study on it!  It was about how many prophesies did Jesus fulfill?  There were 48 main prophesies that were made and Jesus fulfilled everyone of them – the likelihood that he could fulfill even 8 of these, mathematically speaking, is one in ONE TRILLION.  Okay – if that wasn’t enough – he fulfilled everyone of them! 

“The chance of any one man's fulfilling all of 48 prophecies is one in ten to the 157th power.  The electron is about as small an object as we can imagine.  If we had a cubic inch of these electrons and tried to count them, it would take us (at 250 per minute) 19,000 times 19,000 times 19,000 years to count them. Now mark one of them and thoroughly stir it into the whole mass.  What chance does our blindfolded man have of finding the right electron?”  (http://www.eons.com/blogs/entry/1332824-How-Many-Bible-prophecies-Did-Jesus-Fulfill-)

And that is only ONE of the many sites that speak of all the prophesies that Jesus fulfilled.  They detail quite a few of them out.  It is pretty cool to know, and be reassured, that we are following the Son of God- that the likely hood is so low that there would be another that could ever fulfill all the prophesies made, all over the world and at different times in the world.  Praise God!

John 1:1-5
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was with God in the beginning.  Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.  In him was life, and that life was the light of men.  The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.”

Definitely get into scripture and see for yourself, research and be reassured.  I feel like I am on Reading Rainbow back in the day…  “But don’t take my word for it…”

What do you fight about?

I heard a blood curdling scream from the other room, followed by the cries of my other child and then a smack.   I had been sitting at the computer, and leaned my head back closed my eyes, took a deep breath and went to encounter the argument head on.   Apparently my youngest daughter was playing with a stuffed giraffe that my oldest daughter sometimes sleeps with.   Amidst the crying and tears, I was able to formulate the events that took place.   My youngest daughter had gone to the toy room and gotten the giraffe (a green 16” giraffe with brown spots) out of the room and brought it into the other room.   Here, the older sister saw that the coveted giraffe was not in her room and grabbed it from her sister.   The younger one screamed and bit the older sister who then cried and hit the little sister.   As I took another cleansing breath I began dealing with the issue at hand.   It is very difficult to reason with a 2 and 3 year old and let alone a woman, so we ended up agreeing to do

do I mis-use the Bible?

WOW!   This morning I sat and started to read through Ecclesiastes.   I don’t know if the author of Ecclesiastes, Perhaps King Solomon, had a very sarcastic view on life or if he was just babbling.   But I can definitely see how this book could get a lot of people into trouble if they don’t know the full book or continue to read.   There are verses in there that say things like; eat, drink and enjoy the days on earth because they are meaningless, it is good to enjoy your time on earth and do not worry about anything. To get the full meaning of the book, you need to read it all- the true gems are the last two verses.   This book was written by someone (according to my study Bible) that was near the end of his life, he sees man in pursuit of so many things and vainly pursuing hopes and expectations- but faith teaches him that God has ordered all things according to his own purposes and that we need to accept our limitations.   The last two verses are the writers final conclusion: Eccle

predictions...

We were all privileged to see the recent hype about the end of the world coming n May 21 st 2011.   The time came and passed without a rapture, without an earthquake, without a storm…   What were those people thinking and feeling?   This prediction made so many question Christianity and question God in general.   Now there were some good aspects of this prediction.   It got people thinking and talking about salvation and their eternal destiny… and, well, that is all I can think of.   Now lets look at what the non-Christian’s saw: a man, claiming to know the answer, claiming that he was right, who had a following, a way to spread his message and an amazing amount of money which usually makes you right in America.   If you were a non-Christian and you saw this guy talking and then May 21 st came and went, you would either think that Christianity was a crock, or that everything that the Bible says is a lie because his equation came from the Bible.   I had one of my non-Christian friend
