It’s amazing what people rely on!

Crop circle 'experts' are seeing the latest pattern discovered in Wiltshire, a phoenix rising from the flames, as a warning about the end of the world. It is amazing to me that they can be so glib about the world ending in 2012 with the certainty that civilization will rise again from the ashes.

Christians, relying on the authenticated word of God, have been saying for years that the world will end but are not so glib. They have shown the way people need to get ready for the event to ensure that they will 'rise again' afterwards. I guess it's all part of the world we live in – let's ignore the historical proven character of Jesus Christ and rely on the mythical aliens! I trust many will see the error of this philosophy before it is too late – be that 2012 or whenever. Remember too it could be much earlier if we die before the event.

Then there are those who were asked which dead person they wanted most to talk to. They weren't asked what they wanted to say but with folks like Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe in the top 10 you can imagine.

Much to the surprise of the organisers of the 3000 people poll, Princess Diana was pushed into second place by Jesus Christ. However, I've got news for them Jesus is disqualified! The simple reason being He is alive!

How sad that around a 1000 of the 30000 people asked would really like to meet Jesus – when they can if they follow His way of repentance and receiving Him into their lives.

There is nowt as queer as folk – is there?

Mormon Christians? Whats in a Name?

The Mormon Church, disturbed by the continuing identifying of polygamus sects in the news with the name Mormon, recently issued a press statement aimed at "clarifying" issues. It is interesting to note that if you substitute the name "Christian" where they use the name "Mormon" it makes a very good argument for us against the claims of the Mormon Church. The full press release is reproduced below in italics with each paragraph rewritten in ordinary text to present it from a Christian perspective. SALT LAKE CITY 10 July 2008 On 26 June, Newsroom published a package of information featuring profiles of ordinary Latter-day Saints in Texas. With no other intention but to define themselves, these members provided a tangible depiction of what their faith is all about. They serve as the best distinction between the lifestyles and values of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and a Texas-based polygamous group that has recently attracted media attent...

The Dangers of Adding to the Bible: Guest Post by Jacob Lambert

T oday, when we come across Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons we find that they are led by a group of people who hold unquestioned authority. Members of this group know this, some even believe it themselves. This puts them in a powerful position, even to the point where they can create their own Bible. Two examples are the J oseph S mith Translation of the Mormons and the N ew W orld T ranslation of the Jehovah’s Witnesses. T hey can add words into their own Bible, words that are not in other, respectable, translations. F or example, in the Greek, C olossians 1:1 6 say s that J esus created all things: ‘ He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities – all things were created through him and for him.’ Col.1:15,16, ESV Jehovah’s Witnesses say that this runs counter to their understanding that Jesus is God’s first creat...

  In their latest update #4, the Jehovah’s Witnesses' Governing Body has announced that toasting and ‘ clinking glasses’  is now allowed at the individual Jehovah’s Witness’s ‘ bible trained conscience’ .  This, Governing Body member Stephen Lett tells us, is due to ‘ prayerful consideration’  by the Governing Body.  This doesn’t sound unreasonable; who could possibly object to toasting, it’s such an innocuous custom?  The answer to that is the Governing Body itself, until now. Ever since 1952, and possibly earlier, the Watchtower has roundly condemned this practice due to its ‘ pagan roots’  in ‘ false religion’ .  The 15 May 1952 Watchtower (page 319), has this to say on the matter Jehovah God and Christ Jesus are not honored by having pagan customs of toasting switched to them, or to human s In 1968, in an answer to  Questions from Readers,  the 1 Jan Watchtower states If a Christian is going to make a request f...
