World Wide Web Witness
Inc. is providing a number of communication facilities below and throughout,
with click-on features here, concerning the faith once for all delivered
to the saints (Jude 3, Galatians 1:6-9, 3:1-13).
It is our hope that
in the mercy of God, it may be delivered also to you.
Compared with this, winning a mega-lottery is trivial. Efforts have been made to reach and help ...
For this we praise God, who is astonishingly gracious. We welcome any other effective system; it is enough that this one works. It has been stimulated not a little by statements, hints and clues in the Bible, as to method; but its point is the logic it adduces.
It
is a
reason
for the faith
that
does not rest till it has shown the necessity of it (cf. I Peter 3:15,
II Corinthians 10:5, Romans 1:18-22).
Opportunity to overturn the truth of the Bible has been available from the first, when one first became a Christian; and although the presentation was of course not complete when one was a tertiary student, yet the same result has obtained. NOTHING STANDS from professor, or lecturer, from controversialist, from student. WHY ? One enters the wonderland of the great, and their great ideas are not strong enough to stand. God's word stands. This is empirical. This is one's experience of over four decades, with the blatant blarings of many, of falling churches, to boot.
Logical, Empirical, Experiential
God's word stands. This is empirical. This is his experience of over four decades, with the blatant blarings of many, of falling churches, to boot.
It is tested in all ages, the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Available
to faith, upon repentance,
Jesus
Christ is the central focus: and the importance HE has attached
to
you and to me is measured by His own actions in entering the world,
and
being crucified after a life of perfect righteousness, to provide the way
home (I Peter 2:22-25, 3:18). There is simply no excuse for being lost.
Personally, I should find it intolerable to contemplate, in the face of
such favour and mercy; and for that also, I thank God.
In Christ, there is the key for heaven and the remedy for earth.
The Key
It is so much easier when there is a key; it is so inexcusable when it is not used...
Hell simply reflects the inexcusable; it is not in the end for error, but for a failure to receive remedy (cf. John 15:21-23, John 3:15-19, Colossians 1:19-23).
You WISH you had this key ? then repent and present yourself SINCE you want it, to God through Christ, receiving His offer.
You DO NOT? then do not grumble about the inescapable, or the horrible: no one goes where he/she does not belong. It is better to belong to the Lord, for He is above all in wonder, and marvellously kind. This too I have found, as well as believed. The key is a Person, and the Person is King. God is not only powerful, but He is also personal and He made us: it is so foolish to be where you should not be, in order to erode, when you may be where you should, in order to grow, and to grow in likeness to Him.
THE PEACE and the NON-VIOLENCE
World Wide Web Witness Inc. stresses the love of God to mankind (Titus 2:11,3:4), the folly of trying to take the Kingdom of Heaven by violence (as Christ pointedly indicated in deploring the treatment of John the Baptist, the reality slipping through the fingers of his murderers like a rainbow that is gone, because it was not seen in its setting), the necessity of the Prince of Peace and the certainty of (vain and futile) wars until He is received, as He surely will be, in His time.
It is also emphasised that this is near, and needs no help from the brawn of man, the explosion of hatred or the thrusts of ill-will. Convention cannot alter Him, neither desire nor fear, manipulation nor cowardice. Christ was crucified, but performed no crucifixions. Then He arose. Let those who name His name be prepared to be treated likewise (John 16:3, Matthew 10:19-20,23-25) and to treat others with the grace and truth He has shown. Judgment shall come soon enough; our desire, in the love of Christ, is that you may avoid it, in the provisions of God in Christ Jesus the Lord (II Corinthians 5:17-21, Galatians 3:10-13), and find life, even the life of God (I John 1:1-4), and the fellowship which is in Him, who is the truth.
On LIFE, its origin, purpose, culmination, consummation and bounty: see A Spiritual Potpourri Ch. 6 and That Magnificent Rock, Ch.6. On conflict, note too that "vainglory" - an old term - is an apt one - empty glorying in trash, in vanity, and many haggle over it. Thus while Christians may be called to the nation's forces to help/protect the weak, not grasp grandeur, the concept of "forced conversions" is wholly delusive and utterly abhorrent.
But
now let us survey the scope of things available here, further.
