The Way back to God

 1. God is the creator of all things visible and invisible. (Colossians 1.16) 2. When Gid made the first human being, Adam, he put him in The Garden of Eden and gave him a single law: “The Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every fruit of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day you eat of it you shall surely die.”” (Genesis 2.16) 3. But the first man did not keep God’s law and, as a result, earned the curse of suffering and death. (Genesis 3) 4. The curse of suffering and death goes on to affect the descendants of Adam and Eve since mankind inherits her nature from him. (Romans 5.14) 5.

Understanding The Old Testament & The New Testament

Purpose Very commonly Christians, when they talk about The Old Testament & The New Testament, tend to not really    differentiate between the two,    but see them as equally valid instructions while at the same time saying they are different.

Questions with Answers

1. Question : Can you give money to God?  Answer : No. God wants something different. “"I exhort you, therefore, brothers, in view of God’s mercies, to offer yourselves as a sacrifice, living and set apart for God. This will please him; it is the logical “Temple worship” for you.”" Romans 12.1 2. Question : Why do we keep hearing "You are cursed with a curse" of Malachi 3.9 from the pulpit when people are being requested  to give?   Answer : No one should be reading or citing that scripture as the verse for giving. The verse is no longer true today as we are no longer under the law. "The Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus the Messiah." John 1.17. As well, it is not possible to curse God's people: "I will bless those who bless you, but I will curse anyone who curses you.” Genesis 12.3.  Further, there is no compulsion in giving in the church. "Each should give according to what he has decided in his heart, not grud...
