Not everyone is opposed to the teachings of the bible. Many of us believe the bible is the word of God and that its teachings are superior to any way of existence on this earth. Deut 4.8.
Take for example the “home”. God created the home, for it is of divine origin. God placed a father and a mother in the home and their common goal is to bring up their children in the fear of God. Eph 6.1-4. These children will have role models which are the parents and they will be there to love and correct the children when they need it. Heb 12.9. This godly home will not have offspring roaming the streets at night robbing and killing. Pro 1.10-16. Instead, there will be educated children existing in the fear of God and these children will encourage their teachers and not discourage them. There is too much hate toward God and His word which needs to stop. He just rescued man from the virus, so man needs to start showing respect to the Lord.

And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were still watching and a cloud took Him up, out of their sight. And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, then behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them, and they said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.” Acts 1.9-11
Every time I read this, I think of a rocket launching into space from the cape in Florida. Those launches draw great crowds to watch lift off and in the same way the return of Jesus Christ will draw crowds of humans standing in awe as He descends from the heavens. There will be no hiding places and all men will have to watch Him come down. So, get ready to be a part of the masses who will be standing, pointing and looking to the sky. Masters, treat your slaves justly and fairly, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven. Col 4.1
Slaves as used in the bible refers to workers, and those who hire workers are to make sure they are paid and treated well. It is never right for a worker to be mistreated. Having workers should make the boss become a better manager and working for such a one, should make workers more responsible. No employer should pay cheap wages; causing employees to labor for wages which cannot pay for the next meal. If you cannot take care of your employees as the word of God directs, it is best not to have any. The original meaning of the word “church” means those who are called out. Called out from what; you might ask? Called out from darkness or sin and replaced into another realm, that being the church. Col 1:13. Acts 2:47. John 10:9.
Before being called by the gospel of Jesus Christ, a person is in the world and is hell bound. Col 3:6-7. 1 Cor 6:9-11. That person is living in sin and is separated from the comfort of God. But, when obedience to the gospel is done that person leaves the filthy world and takes up existence in the salvation of Christ body, the church. John 3:13-21. Rom 6:1-23. 1 Thess 2:11-13. Eph 2:1-22. Heb 5:9. Being placed into the church is like being placed into the ark. Once Noah and the others entered the ark, God shut them in. They were saved from the flood because salvation was only in the ark. Gen 6:12-22. Gen 7:5-16. Gen 7:21-24. If you haven’t obeyed the gospel, you aren’t in the church. If you aren’t in the church, you aren’t saved. If you aren’t saved, you are hell bound. You must obey the word of God and save yourself from eternal destruction. 2 Thess 1:7-10. Acts 2:40-41. |
