There was NO COMPROMIES

Reading: 1 Cor 6:9-10 "Or know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with men, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."

The cutting of the article above deliberate to focus whereas that reeked of the behaviour of deviant sex. In the modern period that increasingly “permissive” –actual matters have been since the past and to the Christian teaching concern since at first – increasingly worsened. Indecent activities, adultery, the sexual deviation (the transvestite, gay&lesbian) apparently has become usual matters and could be accepted by the modern community. Moreover newest information mentioned that in the Netherlands and several cities in the USA the gay-lesbian marriage was legalised and that was saddest was to be gotten the church that served the gay-lesbian marriage blessing (certainly not the true church). Wow! .

Paul reminded us that people who did these matters will not get God's kingdom. And when being connected with Rome 1:18-32 was said that anyone who did matters was like this, ought to be sentenced to death, not only they who carried him himself out, but also they who agreed with them that did (v. 32). We then, that agreed or was silent (that could be assumpted as the attitude ‘not refused’) also deserved to be punished. So relatives, our attitude and the church who had Lord must clear and firm refused all the forms of the problem of indecent activities, adultery, the similar marriage, the transvestite et cetera as well as continually made an effort to make them aware back to the way of truth. Haleluya!

The CORE of the Christian TEACHING

the Reading: the Act of 24:5 "... this man ... a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:"

Some person said that the understanding of the Paul Apostle about Jesus and Christian faith very different from the understanding of the follower Jesus at first. In fact despite the tradition that “accepted by” the Apostle Paul precisely was not the same as the Injil (Gospel) report, continued to have the important similarity. Paul explained his understanding about Christian faith in front of the leaders of the Jerusalem church in Galatia 2:6-10. The Paul understanding about Injil (Gospel) did not prosecute the person of the infidel to undertake the law (Torah). According to Paul, his understanding about the Christian message in accordance with the understanding of first pupils and the apostle Jesus (that was known as “church pillars”), including Peter. Paul did not develop the new version of Christianity that be compatible that was older, that is the form kekristenan that more jewishness that was developed by the leaders of the church in Jerusalem. The Paul understanding about the Christian messages and the authority of his apostolacy to report this message was strengthened by the leader of the church in Jerusalem.So clear, in no way important difference proof in the opinion was linked with the message of Christian faith of the core. Well Paul and Peter strengthened the death and Jesus's resurgence (ordered the core of the Christian teaching), and the need of the faith response from the person who will be saved.

mlt` - ܡܠܬܐ
Dengan vokal ܡܶܠܬ݂ܳܐ, dibaca miltho (Syria Barat) atau miltha (Syria Timur), merupakan Noun (kata benda) mempunyai arti word, case, cause, matter. Dengan begitu, dalam Peshitta kata Firman (Miltha) dimengerti sebagai tidak hanya Firman (word), melainkan juga dapat dimengerti sebagai Cause (sebab, penyebab, alasan, maksud, perkara). Jika dikaitkan dengan Kol 1:16-17 maka Sang Firman adalah Penyebab utama dalam proses Penciptaan. Dan jika kita setia pada pemahaman bahwa segala sesuatu adalah dari Allah, oleh Allah dan kepada Allah (Roma 11:36) maka sudah barang tentu Firman Allah ini dari Allah, oleh Allah dan kepada Allah. Firman itu dari Allah karena keluar dari “mulut” Allah (Yes 45:23), oleh Allah karena tidak ada yang berhak memberikan Firman kepada alam semesta dan segala isinya selain Allah karena Ia PenciptaNya (Mzm 33:9, Yes 44:24), dan kepada Allah karena Firman itu kembali kepada Allah setelah berhasil melaksanakan Kehendak Allah (Yes 55:11). Oleh karena itu Allah sama sekali tidak perlu pendamping dalam proses Penciptaan, tidak perlu sekutu dalam Penciptaan karena Allah Maha Kuasa, Maha Kuat, Maha Sempurna dan Maha segalanya. Allah tinggal berfirman, maka semuanya jadi (dan memang Allah menciptakan segala sesuatu dengan firman-Nya (Kej 1:2), mengapa harus memerlukan Malaikat (meskipun itu Penghulu Malaikat) kalau hanya untuk menciptakan Manusia? Padahal kita manusia-lah yang akan menghakimi malaikat-malaikat (1 Kor 6:3). Janganlah kamu biarkan kemenanganmu digagalkan oleh orang-orang yang berpura-pura merendahkan diri dan beribadah kepada malaikat, sedang ia tidak berpegang teguh kepada Kepala (Kol 2:18-19). Sebab aku yakin, bahwa baik maut, maupun hidup, baik malaikat-malaikat, ... , atau kuasa-kuasa, baik yang di atas, maupun yang di bawah, ataupun sesuatu makhluk lain, tidak akan dapat memisahkan kita dari kasih Allah, yang ada dalam Kristus Yesus, Tuhan kita. (Rm 8:38-39). Semua penulis kitab-kitab PB sepakat membedakan atau setidaknya tidak melihat adanya persamaan pribadi antara Yesus, guru dan Tuhan mereka, dengan sesosok malaikat pun (termasuk Mikhael, Gabriel, Raphael atau bahkan Satanael). Yesus adalah inkarnasi dari Sang Firman, yang telah keluar dari “mulut” Allah, sebagaimana kata Sang Guru dari Galilea tersebut, “... , sebab Aku keluar dan datang dari Allah ...” (Yoh 8:42) sebab Sang Firman itu telah menjadi manusia (Yoh 1:14).Firman itu juga telah kembali kepada Allah, dan akan datang kembali kelak untuk menghakimi bangsa-bangsa, karena Ia adalah Sang Penunggang Kuda Putih, Yang Setia dan Yang Benar, nama-Nya ialah “Firman Allah” (Why 19:11,13).
