Delivered Unto Gentiles+Crucifixion+Resurrection

"And taking the twelve, He said to them, 'We are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be accomplished.  For He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and shamefully treated and spit upon.  And after flogging Him, they will kill Him, and on the third day He will rise'" (Luke 18:31-33).

"Now the men who were holding Jesus in custody were mocking Him as they beat Him.  They also blindfolded Him and kept asking Him, 'Prophesy! Who is it that struck You?'  And they said many other things against Him, blaspheming Him" (Luke 22:63-65).

 "Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, 'Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit!' And having said this He breathed His last" (Luke 23:46).

 "He is not here, but has risen. Remember how He told you, while He was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise" (Luke 24:6-7).

 Jesus told the disciples that He would be mistreated and mocked by the Gentiles and Jews.  They would torture and beat Him up and then kill Him.  This prophecy turned out to be true; the Jews and Gentiles would be involved in killing Jesus.  They mocked, tortured and beat Jesus as well.  Notice the fact that we too are Gentiles and Jews.  The Lord took away all of our sins by them being nailed to the cross.  He loves us so much He was willing to be tortured and beaten because of our sin and became sin for us and died in our place and rose again so that we may live.  As a result of Christ's death and resurrection, we are free of sin when we come to Him in faith and asking Him for mercy and asking Him to come into our hearts.  Jesus wants to have a loving relationship with us and can transform us from the inside out.  Jesus is truly the Son of God, Son of Man, Wonder Counselor, Prince of Peace, and the Messiah.  Praise to You Lord and thank You!

Q: Did Jesus have Actual Brothers and Sisters within His Family? A: Yes!

"He went away from there and came to His hometown, and His disciples followed Him" (Mark 6:1 ESV). Jesus went to His hometown Nazareth and His disciples followed Him. "And on the Sabbath He began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard Him were astonished, saying, 'Where did this man get these things? What is the wisdom given to Him? How are such mighty works done by His hands?'" (Mark 6:2). Jesus taught in the synagogue on the Sabbath. Many who heard Him were astonished and questioned where He got these things, what's the wisdom given to Him, and how such mighty works were done by His hands. Then, they said He was a carpenter and mentioned His family members. "'Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?' And they took offense at Him" (Mark 6:3). They talked about Him being the carpenter, the son of Mary. A carpenter ( τέκτων)  was a builder

LGBTQ: Loving vs. Tolerating

I am sure many people have family members or acquaintances who are gay and/or involved with the LGBTQ community. There are events that have happened all over the country; they are even happening in small towns. The pride flags have been seen by many and are even in schools-even to kids in kindergarten!   However, as Christians, we ought to call out sin and oppose it in our lives and the lives of others. This is completely different than affirming sinful lifestyles and tolerating them. Not only is this tolerated nowadays, but it is also applauded and celebrated.  Paul wrote, "Love is patient, love is kind. Love does not envy, is not boastful, is not arrogant, is not rude, is not self-seeking, is not irritable, and does not keep a record of wrongs. Love finds no joy in unrighteousness but rejoices in the truth" (1 Corinthians 13:4-6). Love... - is patient - is kind - does not envy - is not boastful - is not rude - is not self-seeking - is not irritable - does not keep record of

A Letter to Roman Catholics

Dear Roman Catholics, It is out of love and sincere compassion that I am writing this letter to you. I was in the Roman Catholic Church for 20+ years until about three years ago. Why did I leave? What caused this decision?  It is because of the numerous errors of the teachings of the Catholic Church when compared to the teachings of Scripture. I want to focus on the main one being salvation. The  Roman Catholic Church teaches that faith + works = salvation. Now, before I go on, I understand that Roman Catholics will argue this. In the Roman Catholic Catechism, it states the following: “The Council of Trent teaches that the Ten Commandments are obligatory for Christians and that the justified man is still bound to keep them; the Second Vatican Council confirms: ‘The bishops, successors of the apostles, receive from the Lord . . . the mission of teaching all peoples, and of preaching the Gospel to every creature, so that all men may attain salvation through faith, Baptism and the observa
