Bible Opinions for the Week

God made the world and all living things. God gave us His only son ,Jesus, so that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
God was crucified on the cross by those who were filled with greed, lust for power, and hatred but He arose and ascended into Heaven. He lives today!
God sets up rulers and takes them down. (“He removeth kings, and setteth up kings” (Dan. 2:21).

Since the beginning, there have been many disagreements and interpretations of the Bible; however, today it's hard to find God and His teachings in many of our churches. The New Testament is largely disregarded by many churches and it's such a strong message about how we are to treat others.  Greed, lust for power, corruption, hatred, and discrimination has blinded many to the truth of God's word.

God’s son, Jesus, was sent to spread and teach God’s message to the world.  His Deciples delivered the “Sermon on the Mount”. The Beatitudes are the teachings of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount,(Matthew 5:1-10). Jesus teaches us that if we live according to the Beatitudes, we will live a happy Christian life. The Beatitudes fulfill God’s promises made to Abraham and his descendants and describe the rewards that will be ours as loyal followers of Christ.

God's word has not changed ....
