“Then the sons are exempt,” Jesus said to him. “But so that we may not offend them, go to the lake and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch; open its mouth and you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours.”
To explain many points, the students of Jesus were told to go and collect money for paying tax from from the mouth of a fish. The Master explained to His students that they did not have to pay tax, but that they should pay anyhow. Simply because people of this World could put them into trouble as claimed to be «tax defaulters». Since Jesus came from Heaven, and gave us a citizenship in Heaven, all we have belongs to our Father in Heaven.
Luke 9:11 but the crowds learned about it and followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed healing.
The Jewish Messiah explained to the Jewish people that Israel was not their final destination. He explained to them about the Kingdom of God, a kingdom which can only reach its fulness in the presence of our Father God in Heaven. Jesus had compassion on sick people. Healing them with divine powers, He hoped they would believe He was the Messiah.
Only one in three young “born-again evangelicals” believe Jesus Is only way to heaven, apologist says.
The One World Religion is now the largest “faith” among young “Christians” in America.
This is a message from Steve Cable, senior vice president of Probe Ministries.
Young American born-again believers are moving away from a biblically-centered worldview, with only one in three affirming that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven, according to Steve Cable, senior vice president of Probe Ministries.
“We need to admit (that there’s a problem),” Cable said on Friday at a session titled “What Do [Young] American Believers Really Believe and How Do We Save Them From Cultural Captivity?” at Southern Evangelical Seminary’s 20th annual Christian Apologetics conference in Charlotte, N.C.
“Don’t go around with your blinders thinking that everything is fine. We have a lot of people that aren’t born again, so there’s a lot of work to do. But then you look at the born-agains and see that we have even more work to do.”
Just before the end of the age of grace, there will be a horrible falling away. The great apostasy is caused by throwing the Bible out of our churches. Solid preaching of the Word of God, is replaced by entertainment, pizza’s and cultural shows.
Claimed to be “Christians” spend more time watching talk show on TV, or reading semi pornographic newspapers and magazines, than reading the Word of God.
I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?’
When you take the world into the Church, you will reap bad fruits. Matters related to “Faith” has becomes a theoretical issues, and treated as one of many personal hobbies. The youth feel there is no absolute truth. God of the Bible is challenged, and replaced by humanism and doctrines taught by demons.
But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
Many Christian leaders can hardly defend their own faith, and have become a part of this evil.
We now face millions of lukewarm and carnal Christians, who lack Biblical knowledge, and mix all kinds of spirituality into their life. The ongoing spiritual disaster is enormous. The majority of “Christian” youth have submitted their life to Satan, and the emerging One World Religion who teach that “god is good”, and “we all need to stand united”.
The great falling away is Biblical:
Daniel 12:7 The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, lifted his right hand and his left hand towards heaven, and I heard him swear by him who lives for ever, saying, ‘It will be for a time, times and half a time. When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed.’
Now we are inside the time of this prophecy of Daniel.
«I baptize in water», John replied, «but among you stands one you do not know. He is the one who comes after me, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie».
John the Immerser explained that the Messiah already were among the Jewish people in Spirit. But the Jews did not know Him. John denied being the Messiah. He was called to prepare the way for the Son of God, finally to come in flesh to pay the perfect atonement for the sins of not only the Jewish people, but the whole World.
