That they may be one

EN  English ( FR IT PT SP ) That they may be one These past days I keep being drawn back to John 17 , especially verses 11 and 21 .  Could it be that Jesus is delaying the Rapture to give us maximum time to "be one as we are one"??  It's the only time in Scripture when we get to see the detailed content of Jesus' prayer and it's about unity.  It makes me think of 1 John 4:12 - "No-one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us." In other words, the love (unity) of the Body of Christ is meant as a way of making the invisible God visible on earth.  We are meant to reflect Jesus, the image of the invisible God ( Colossians 1:15 ); just as He reflects the glory of the Father ( Hebrews 1:3 ). What to expect when Jesus returns   How to be ready for the rapture   Can we know the timing of the End Times? Reacting to a thief coming in the night But surely, ‘...

Stop worrying about your salvation

EN  English ( FR IT PT SP ) Stop worrying about your salvation Your salvation is not dependent on how much you read the Bible or how much you pray or how long you could fast.  Your salvation isn't even dependent on how much you love God.  This, with permission, is a transcript of a YouTube video by my friend Caleb. It's lightly edited for the change of context. Here, we're going to be looking at exactly what salvation involves because I think there's a lot of confusion about this and it's literally probably the most important topic in all of Christianity.  But it's really, really simple.  I think it's our human minds that make us come up with all these different things that confuse and worry the people that don't know exactly what it is. And if you're one of those people that are scared of going to hell or being left behind in the rapture, I just want to ease your mind because salvation has nothing to do ...

Blind men and an elephant

EN  English ( FR IT PT SP ) Blind men and an elephant  There's a traditional parable about four men, blind from birth, trying to reconcile their different perspectives of an elephant . The one touching the tusk has a different view from one holding a leg; or the trunk; or the tail; or an ear... The parable is often told to claim that all religions have a partial perspective on one god. However, there are at least two fatal problems with this analogy: Firstly, in the parable the men may be blind, but they're men with a human brain. The elephant might have a reputation for a good memory, but it doesn't have the brain power of a human being. The parable is pretty arrogant in giving such a high status to humans compared to God. But it gets worse: the narrator claiming to observe the four poor blind men surrounding a dumb elephant puts himself in an even more exalted perspective than all the rest together! The sheer arrogance o...
