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

When was Jesus Crucified and Resurrected?

I think there would be less Atheist and Agnostic if the Real Jesus is the Jesus most of the Christian knew today. Why? Because most unbelievers like to point out the similarity of Jesus life to that of Mithra, a Sun Deity. Therefore, the outsiders consider Christianity as a copycat from Mithraic Religion. In fact, the popular Jesus Christ people recognized today was a mixture of many other pagan and heathen gods. 
   Yes! There are plenty of obvious similarity because the Jesus most Christian knew was a fabricated Christ. Shocked? You should be. 
   The Jesus Christ the world knew today was an integrated Roman Sun Worship with that of Constantine's Christianity. 
   The re-packaging of Jesus was perpetuated by the Roman Catholic Church to easily convince the pagan Roman citizen to the New official Religion of the King. Constantine even paraded the cross (which he claim was the same cross where Jesus actually hung) around the city  of Rome to proclaim his faith in Jesus.
   But did Constantine really convert to Christianity? 
   That is something only the heart of Constantine can answer. What I do know is that the early Christians mistrust the conversion of Rome. Most of them went into hiding and secretly observe breaking of bread in the name of Jesus as the Roman falsely accused of being a secret "cult". 
   But why would the early Christians mistrust the New Church? 
   As you can see, The papacy thought it would be easier for Romans of that day to accept Jesus if they can draw similarity to an already existing faith...BUT to early Christians it is unacceptable. 
   They are not happy about it. The Christian did not rejoice over their triumph.  No longer will they be fed to the lion or torture to death. They can now freely practice their faith but why they doubt their government?
FROM SUN TO SON 
   They saw nothing change. They just replace the name of Jesus Christ but still practice the Mithraic rituals of Sun worships. 
   Pagan Rome worship on SUNday so they have to tweak some minor detail and instead of Sabbath day, they made the Resurrection of Christ on Sunday Morning. 
WHAT REALLY HAPPEN DURING THE FIRST HOLY WEEK
   Here's how the lie was done to fit the SUNday resurrection.
   Have you ever wonder that if Jesus really died on Friday and rose on Sunday morning, then it would make up only One and a Half Day in total? 
   Then, Jesus must be kidding when the Scribes and Pharisee asked for a sign to proved He was the Messiah (Matthew 12:39). Jesus replied that the sign would be like that of the prophet Jonah. "For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." (verse 40)
    Jesus did not said, two night and one day. 
   The two nights of course would just be a 24 hour period from Friday night to Saturday night. Or maybe it was not a literal 72 hour period after all. Well, the Devil is very good in alibi...reasoning that a part of a day can therefore be  reckoned as a whole day. 
   Let's check the detail how it was recorded by the Gospel writer.Maybe we can uncover the real story of how Jesus' words were fulfilled precisely as 3 days and 3 nights. If not, then Jesus did not pay in full the price for our sin but just some part of it.

   On Luke chapter 23: 46-53 we can read the hasty burial of Jesus because of the oncoming Sabbath day that began at sundown. Let us focus on Verse 54 "That day was the preparation and the Sabbath drew near." 
   Many have assumed that it is the weekly Sabbath mentioned here. So Jesus was crucified and died on Friday afternoon. BUT let us also check another record from John. I want you to pay a closer look on this Sabbath...
   John 19:31 King James Version (KJV)
 31The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
   A High-day Sabbath, The New International Version call this a "Special Sabbath" it is God's annual high day or Sabbath Holy day (Exodus 12:16-17; Leviticus 23:6-7) it could fall on any day of the week. Therefore the Sabbath mentioned was the first day of Unleavened Bread Feast (Wednesday sunset to Thursday Sunset)  since Luke 23:56 shows that the women, after seeing Christ's body being laid in the tomb just before sunset "returned and prepared spices and fragrant oils" for the final preparation of the body.
   Such work would not have been done on a Sabbath day since it would be a violation of the Sabbath. Mark 16:1 verify these when it said "Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome brought spices (which they would not have purchased on the High-day Sabbath) that they might come and anoint Him".
   They have to wait for the High Day Sabbath to be over before they can go to the market and buy spices and oils to be prepared, and then WAIT for the Weekly Sabbath and "rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment " (Luke 23:56). 
    We can see that there were actually two Sabbaths on that week. The Annual High Day Sabbath (that could fall on any day) which starts at Wednesday sunset to Thursday; and the Weekly Sabbath.  
   That on A.D. 31...Wednesday around 3 PM during the Day of Preparation before a High Day Sabbath (Feast of Unleavened Bread) our Lord Jesus Christ died via the extreme penalty of death. 
    And on Saturday around Sunset Jesus Christ rose from the grave. 
   
WHY NOT SUNDAY MORNING?
   John 20:1 "The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre."
   While it was dark on the first day of the week (Sunday) Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and found the stone rolled away and the tomb was empty. So when Mary reach the place Jesus had long been resurrected. Now, if Jesus resurrected Sunday morning then it would be overdue and another night is added. 
   We can be assured that Jesus paid the price in full by the length of His entombment and that Jesus gave as proof that He was indeed the Messiah.  

THE CRUCIFIXION AND RESURRECTION CHART

Tuesday
Jesus Christ and the disciple ate an evening Passover meal (Pascha). Betrayed by Judas, arrested during the night and brought before the High Priest. (Matthew 26)
Wednesday
Jesus Brought to Pilate, the Roman Governor, and was then sentence to die. Around 3:00PM  he died. (Matthew 27) This was incidentally the preparation day for the annual Sabbath (which begun at sunset) not the weekly Sabbath. (Mark 15:42; Luke 23:54; John 19:31) Jesus body was placed in the tomb just before sunset (Matthew 27:57-60)
Thursday
This was the High Day Sabbath, the First day of Feast of Unleavened Bread (John 19:31; Leviticus 23:4-7) It is described as the day after the day of Preparation (Matthew 27:62)
Friday
The High Sabbath now past, the women bought and prepared the spices for anointing Jesus body,  before resting for the weekly Sabbath which begun on Friday sunset (Mark 6:1; Luke 23:56)
Saturday
The women rested on the Sabbath day, according to the fourth commandment (Luke 23:56; Exodus 20:8-11) Jesus rose near sunset exactly three days and three nights after burial. Fulfilling the sign of Jonah. 
Sunday
The women brought the spices early in the morning while it was still dark (Luke 24:1; John 20:1) finding that Jesus had already risen (Matthew 28:1-6; Mark 16:2-6; Luke 24:2-3; John 20:1) He did not rise on Sunday morning but near sunset the day before, from the exact time he was buried at the "heart of the earth". 

The Crafty and Deception:
   By removing into focus the High Day Sabbath, the Papacy was able to convert the Resurrection of Jesus Christ into a SUNday Worship borrowed from Mithraic sun-worshipers.     
   Now it is No wonder why the  rest of the world still wait for the coming Messiah...to the Christian who knew His word, He has already Risen. 
   This is also in response to those Atheist and Agnostic who had been complaining the pagan similarity of Christianity. 

  
   STOP the Character Assassination you had been doing against Jesus Christ and worship Him in Spirit and in Truth.

The Truth Behind Jesus Name


I'm thankful to this video. As I will not worry anymore if I would call Him Jesus or Hesus. And I can assure my mother who had a Visayan accent that she is calling the same God.

The Frogfish Mysteries

Did Jesus Died by Crucifixion? (Debate Video)

The Bible is Not about God's Opinion

It is incredible how most Christian adopt secular reasons in interpreting the fact presented in Holy Scriptures. They downplay the spiritual issues stated therein and try to find scientific explanations on wonderful miracles and how God created things. 
   One dominant issue and most controversial is the Book of Genesis. You would hear believers trying to tie up the "creation" with what they read on secular books such as science journals. When we do these, we distort the essence of its purpose. 
Why Genesis is Written?
   The purpose of writing Genesis, in the first place, is to inform us "How God created" everything. I believed that one of those ancient days, Adam and Eve had conversation with The Father. Perhaps they are marveling how they came to be, where they came from, and what are those things in heaven and how the things around them came to be. It is more likely that God said something like this, "Well, listen to me Adam and Eve, this is how it came to be...I made them..." and so the story of creation was told, and to cut the story short, this story was pass on to their children and children's children, until it reach Moses who wrote the book which was later named Genesis.
   The only person that can tell correctly how things were form, was someone who had been there from the beginning. Let us remember that! Not someone who was not there...not Man. It is like a computer explaining to man how he was created, when itself is created by man. 


So what was on Genesis?
   The Bible speaks about rapid appearance of life form...Scholars estimates that if we trace the Bible, Heaven and earth would be approximately  only around 6-7000 years old...so how come we read so much about Billions or so years old fossils found here and there as evidence to rule out the accuracy of the Bible creation story.
   There is a conspiracy of misinformation actively working in world systems to lead us away from the truth. They were trying to hide scientific discoveries that proves the authenticity of the Bible. I am not making claims here, but will later show you that there is a growing community of Scientist from various field re-discovering and discovering God. 
   Let me remind you that Evolution requires the earth to be very very old...including the universe. Don't believe that lie. The devil and his cohorts will do anything to make you "doubt" the Bible and therefore rely on secular teachings.
What is a Bible?
   Plainly, the Bible is God's revelation to man NOT man revealing God. It is an inspired collections of books authored by God himself to be written by men or if you may allow called copywriters in our time. It is something like this, Moses act as a journalist, interviewing God how He created things and later God also added History as a little background before Moses was called, up until their captivity in Egypt, then the story telling was pass on to the other Historians...so on and so forth.  
   Misinformed individual claims the Bible was just a "One" book and it is not a reliable source of information because of its narrow perspective of a monotheistic religion. That is the first lie and don't be persuaded by that. The Bible is a library of Heaven and Earth history. 
   The uniqueness of the Bible is that it tells even the mistake and fault of the authors. In fact, Moses, in his writing admitted that he is inadequate as a leader and even at the end of his life he is still a failure. While other Religion claims the perfectness of its founder, the Bible tell us real people, ordinary people just like you and me. They commit sin, they disobey God, they envy, they argue, and all other common human nature. The Bible does not hide skeleton in the closets. Buddha did not told his follower that he was an irresponsible husband and father, that in order to seek enlightenment he had to leave his young wife...Muhammad did not tell his follower that Allah was just one of the many gods already worship in Mecca. He just redefine an already formed faith from pagan people.
   The Bible tell us what really happened!  
Take Me as I AM
   Therefore, If you are a Christian, you should stop treating the Bible as another Book of Opinion. Let us take the Bible at face value. Most believers even try to stretch the Word of God to fit the popular secular world view. If God said, it only requires Him 6 days to create heaven and earth...then that what it should mean and nothing else. The Word of God will explain itself, trust me, or better yet TRUST GOD. What God had declared before may not make sense Now but surely He mean what He said. Like when He said, don't eat animal fat and blood, it is evident now what will happen to your health...
   Why would God spend a great deal of time making special attention to the 7th day (Sabbath) and make an elaborate command to be respected and observe as Holy? 
   Let us remember that if we don't accepts what the Bible states and consider some part of it pertains to something else, then we are making assumption as well. When we try to fit the Bible to the puzzle the evolutionist are trying to build...we are also distorting the real message of the Holy Scripture.
   What we are doing is re-constructing the Bible according to the world views. As if before God made Adam, He first scoop a handful of slime and make an amoeba that turn into monkey before it gradually became Man. If we do these, we stray away from the truth...which states God made man and women on the 6th day...a separate creature from the rest...it does not evolve from anything else. 
   If we stretch the meaning of the creation...we will not follow the order of things and events in the Bible. Therefore, Commandments and Law can also be altered according to the general world views.




Science can't prove the age of anything!
   If you think science is giving you a very good estimates of how old the fossils they've examined...you are being duped. Evolutionist uses an extravagant calculator that multiply a single day into million of years. 
   Science is base on assumptions!
What science is not telling You?   
   Listen!!! Few people are aware that nine out of ten dating methods indicate the earth is too young for evolution to have happened, nor do they understand the assumptions upon which all dating methods rely.
   All dating method are base on assumptions and tries to figure it out. But obviously any data can be contaminated. 


BRAINWASHED EDUCATION SYSTEMS
   Check your children's Biology text book...see how the authors presents unproven data like: "The Dinosaurs disappeared 65 Millions of years ago", turn hundreds of pages and you'll be bombarded with disappearance of extinct life forms by the Million years or so...And they don't bother to tell you that most of the dating method use are radio-metric method which is unreliable. Assumptions are presented as factual. Is that science or witchcraft? 
   Open your TV to National Geographic channel and the same false data is given to you as a fact. 
   Well listen to a well-known Physicist have to say:
   For every dating method indicating billions of years of earth history there are ten methods indicating the earth is far too young for evolution to have happened.--Dr. Russell Humphrey
    Wrong assumptions! You get wrong answers. Wrong information! You get wrong educations. Now we are being fed with assumptions, and often incorrect dating method. It is No Wonder we get a wrong idea about LIFE.
   You can check the data and article refuting the evolution theory at http://creation.com/how-old-is-the-earth

    It is either you believe the Bible or not. If you try to tie it up with principle of the world, you will not "get" its real meaning. 


Common Sense disprove Evolution already!
   We don't need to graduate doctorate degree to disproved Naturalist and Evolutionist. Here are some simple common sense:
   1. Where are all the Bones? 
   If man had been around as they said 4 Million years ago. Assuming that the average life span is 25 years (counting the factor of a more dangerous ancient world and unknown diseases and yet to be discovered cures)...and since science like to assume, we will also assume a steady population of 100,000 human...they eat, have sex, have children, they dies....multiply that by 4 Million years...how many bones we have buried under the soil? 
    Where are the 16 Trillion of bodies?
    By now I am very sure if man had been existing for Millions of years, the evolutionist can herald to the world the "Missing Link" between man and monkeys, but there are NONE...actually the FEW specimen they proposed to be "Ape Man" were refuted to be Hoaxes. 

    2. Where are all the Graves? 
   Man is a natural lover and sentimental. We bury our dead relatives. All ancient civilization have rituals about burying deceased...so once again, the same questions where are the Millions (if not Billion) of grave sites?
   What do we have? We can find most of the graves in Ancient Civilizations. Meaning! man is already civilized, thinking, logical beings ever since. (Take notice that when they usually discover the said "LINK" these are isolated fossils, isn't that suspicious already?)

MATHEMATICAL CORRECTNESS VIA THE BIBLE STORY
   Let us Do simple Mathematics to check how accurate the Bible history.
    The current population  now is 7 Billions people. World population historically double every 150 years, independent of war, famines, catastrophes, pandemic, etc...
   The Bible told the flood happened around 4,500 years ago. Noah is with 3 sons and their 3 wives. So let us begin with 6 people since Noah does not have other children after the flood...
   6 x 2 equals...12
   Let us continue doubling them until we reach 7 Billion.
   ...24...48...96...192...384...768...1536...3072...6144...12288...24576...49152...98304...196608...393216...786432...1572864...3145728...6291456...12582912...25165824...50331648...100663296...201326592...402653184...805306368...1610612736...3221225472...6442450944 (Almost 7 Billion) 
   That was 30 cycles of 150. Therefore 30 cycles X 150 years is  4,500 years. 
The flood happened around 4,500 years ago and the equation is not very far to how many we are now, base on the sons of Noah...that survived the great flood.  
   Below is Dr. Monty White's analogy and question that Evolutionist must answer:


   Evolutionists are always telling us that humans have been around for hundreds of thousands of years. If we did assume that humans have been around for 50,000 years and if we were to use the calculations above, there would have been 332 doublings, and the world’s population would be a staggering figure—a one followed by 100 zeros; that is
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000.
   This figure is truly unimaginable, for it is billons of times greater than the number of atoms that are in the entire universe! Such a calculation makes nonsense of the claim that humans have been on earth for tens of thousands of years.
Simple, conservative arithmetic reveals clear mathematical logic for a young age of the earth. From two people, created around 6,000 years ago, and then the eight people, preserved on the Ark about 4,500 years ago, the world’s population could have grown to the extent we now see it—over 6.5 billion.
   With such a population clearly possible (and probable) in just a few thousand years, we could actually ask the question, “If humans were around millions of years ago, why is the population so small?” This is a question that evolution supporters must answer.



  Statistically the Bible is far more realistic than the 4 Million of years base on Evolution.

   If you don't agree with simple common sense...you can check the following websites from authorized and respected personalities from various fields of scientific and philosophical education. 


Does a Rocket Scientist from NASA believes in GOD? Check this website: http://www.nasamike.com/main/book/ (in the following days perhaps if God allow, I will digest the data on this site)

HARD-HEAD SLOW LEARNERS
   Contrary to what was being advertised by the Loud Mouth (funded by Satanic elite) unbelievers, there was "enormous" increase of "enlightened" scientist accepting the Bible as factual. 
   If you think there are no scientist on God's side, hear the Mission Statement of Reasons.org a group of credible and reliable Scientist:
RTB's mission is to spread the Christian Gospel by demonstrating that sound reason and scientific research - including the very latest discoveries - consistently support, rather than erode, confidence in the truth of the Bible and faith in the personal, transcendent God revealed in both Scripture and nature.
  
  

     


?
ATHEISM IS DEAD!!!
     Meaning there is no NEW argument or fact coming from Naturalist and Evolutionist, they just re-invent words and definitions. They don't present new discovery at all but wait for Creationist to reveal new things so they can lambaste and invent lies to discredit.  And when they discover something that proves the Bible, they hide that fact away from us. Just check the video Man and Dinosaur co-existed. 


   Don't present the Bible as if it is just another opinion. Stand tall and tell them "This is what God said!!!"
   
    
From Those Claiming to be Theistic:
    Aside from the Non-existent-God advocate, there are also the False Prophets that distort the Bible. One example is Ophra Winfrey, a New Age  thinker and esoteric follower. She said, there are other ways aside from Jesus Christ. The reason is that, obviously not everyone have heard about Jesus, so it is unfair. Maybe, Jesus does NOT really mean that He is the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE. 
   If we accept that, then we are making Jesus irrelevant and worst of all being accused as a LIAR.  (Read More on Jesus The Only Way)
   Sadly, even Christians believe and assume that LIE...
   The Vatican believe that all religion leads to God.
   The Mormons believe that the Bible is insufficient source for God's will.
