CAN YOU DEFEND YOUR FAITH?

The sad truth is most Christians can't even defend their faith because they themselves are ignorant of God's word.

Don't let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ. -- Colossians 2:8
"My people are being destroyed for lack of knowledge..." Hosea 4:6

Who Are They?

   Have you hear about the young man who fled naked during the night Jesus was arrested?
   Probably never heard nor seen in movie adaptations but there was such an incident that happen which we can read in Mark 14:51, but there were other more popular stories that had circulated  in mainstream Christianity that never really occur if we trust the completeness of the Bible. Galatians 1:6-8 says "I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—  not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed."
   Here are some scenes taught by the False Religion that was not really taught in The Bible.
   Scene One: St. Veronica wiping the bloody face of Jesus on his way to Golgotha to be crucified. First of all, it is a strange name for a Jewish girl during the 1st century and worst of all, there was no such incident recorded in the Bible we now has. Yes, all four gospels even if you turn it upside down. NO hint at all that this story exist during Jesus time. The claim of the MYTH was the cloth suppose being used bore the image of Christ. Have you ever wonder why a miracle of that magnitude would escape the observations of the apostle? Isn't it worth writing to reiterate the divinity of Jesus? It was never MENTIONED by Matthew, Mark, Luke and most especially John who was there all the time, from Jesus arrest to his burial. So who is Veronica*? Why she was in the collections of Catholic idols?
   Scene Two: Will take us back to the birth of Jesus. Do we read kings visiting the infant Jesus? Or do we read the names Melchor, Gaspar and Baltazar from the entire HOLY BIBLE? These are three added character that even a special celebration was made to commemorate them. Why it seems this religion loves to ADD non-existing saints in there altar? Like St. Valentine and Santa Klaus (St. Nicolas)....
   Revelation 22:18-19 "...if any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book; and if any man shall take away from the words..." read for yourselves what curses followed.

 *It is interesting to note that the fanciful derivation of the name Veronica from the words Vera Icon (eikon) "true image" dates back to the "Otia Imperialia"
