Who Is A Liar

1John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

 

Our Bible is very plain, in this verse, about Jesus being THE Christ, and, that Jesus is the Son of GOD.

 

Let’s look at three things in this verse. First, the Christ is a title for Jesus. Christ is not his name. It means the Messiah the one who will save us from this world. It means Saviour the one who will save us and accept us unto his own.

 

Second, let’s look at Father and the Son. This verse plainly teaches there is a division between GOD the Father, and, GOD the Son. People who deny this concept, this verse, label as an antichrist.

Third, let’s examine what our verse says about those who deny Jesus as Saviour and as GOD the Son with GOD the Father. Our Bible calls those who deny a liar and antichrist. This is strong language when labeling someone. We Christians today seem to pale in comparison. Many of us today want to be “correct” and not hurt feelings with our preaching and witnessing. We must call sin, sin.

 

The teaching of the Trinity is for another study. Stay tuned.

Daily Smile:
At a local coffee bar, a young woman was expounding on her idea of the perfect mate to some of her friends. "The man I marry must be a shining light amongst company. He must be musical. Tell jokes. Sing. And stay home at night!" An old granny overheard and spoke up, "Honey, if that's all you want, get a TV!"

U.S. Passes 55 Million Abortion Mark
At some point in the past year, the United States experienced its 55 millionth legal abortion -- a number far more than the combined U.S. death toll of every American war since the nation's founding, Baptist Press reports. The total spans 40 years, beginning with the Jan. 22, 1973, Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide. The abortion count is based on data compiled by the Guttmacher Institute, which supports abortion rights. National Right to Life releases an annual tally using the Guttmacher data. "That's 55 million creative minds, 55 million people that could be working, 55 million that could be contributing to society," said Randall K. O'Bannon, National Right to Life's director of education and research. "It's hard to fathom all the different ways in which any person has the potential to impact the community and impact our country. The loss is staggering." To put the total of 55 million in perspective, the combined number of military deaths in all of America's wars -- from the Revolutionary War to the second Iraq war -- is 1.2 million.

53 Percent of Americans Say Abortion 'Not That Important' Compared to Other Issues
How important is the abortion issue to Americans? Fifty-three percent of the public says abortion is "not that important" compared with other issues, while 45 percent says abortion is either "one among many important issues" (27 percent) or "a critical issue facing the country" (18 percent), according to a recent Pew Research Center survey. However, the split masks stark differences between those who attend religious services at least once a week (37 percent of U.S. adults) and those who attend less often. About two-thirds (64 percent) of weekly churchgoers say abortion is a critical or important issue, while about two-thirds (65 percent) of those who attend less say abortion is not that important of an issue.
