Paths

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

The biggest lie out there is that all roads lead to God. It is not that the statement is false, it is the assertion that getting to be in God’s presence is a good thing for all people.

Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

Since man is in rebellion against God and will not be judged of God in life, why is it that man should think that after he dies and his life is no longer under his control, that he can escape judgment?

The issue here more than any other is our expected end. Why does anyone believe the end result of their life’s journey has an expected end? What proof does any god provide of their expected end? If they believe a lie they are stuck with that lie come judgment day. If they do not believe in judgment day what is the life they live today?

1 Corinthians 15:32b if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.

Man will live his life after the thoughts of James Dean, live large, die young and leave a good-looking corpse. They will take from life what pleases them with no regard for anyone. They will rebel against society itself and in doing so be shunned by society. Then and only then will they see that the only one who cares is Jesus Christ.

John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

I offer you this one last insight towards judgment day, the only religion that offers you an attorney that day is Christianity.

1 John 2:1-2 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate(attorney) with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

If you do not have an attorney, how will you answer your judge?

Me? I’m pleading the blood of Jesus Christ.

Conspiracy

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

A common lie about the bible is that it was written by men to control the masses.

The majority who espouse this lie have never read the bible. Their issue is submission, they are in rebellion of authority. Which is exactly why the bible points out that man by nature is in rebellion to God’s authority.

Romans 2:14-15 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;

Where men make laws, they can change laws, which allows them control of their own fates. They answer to no one but themselves and if they do not like the results, change the narrative. For them there are no absolute truths and will not subject themselves to any authority.

Who exactly do these men accuse of this mass conspiracy? The bible claims to be authored by the children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Israel). So, this is a Jewish conspiracy. That fits the hatred the world has for everything Jewish. Nothing convinces the weak and lazy mind like wide support.

If this were true, why didn’t these men write a more heroic narrative of the Jewish history? Why is it that these men portrayed Israel as men who continued to fail over and over again this God they promote? Once again, these that believe the lie have not read the bible.

The simple answer to this lie is challenging them to read the bible for themselves and making up their own minds rather than subjecting themselves to the control of others. Use their rebellious nature to see they are being controlled by others if they have not investigated the truth for themselves.

The Word of God is effectual and powerful. Let the Word do what the Word does best, change hearts.
