The Women Found Out First

Today is what is referred to as Good Friday.  This time of year many remember the sufferings of Jesus.  And of course this Sunday is Easter, which some call, “Resurrection Sunday,” as we remember Jesus Christ being raised from the dead to die no more.

If you haven’t read the article I posted this past Wednesday, The Greatest Lie Ever Told,  check it out; it has some great information about the resurrection.  In this short podcast (7:43) I wanted to reiterate a very unique point from that article. It is a very important point that almost no one mentions.

Since it involves the culture of Bible times, I have placed this post here in the Eastern Eye category.

Have a joyous weekend!

 

The Greatest Lie Ever Told!

This Sunday we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Last week I posted Easter 2010, a short video podcast about a very graphic prophecy concerning the sufferings of Christ.  I am planning to do a podcast this Friday focusing on a very unique aspect of the resurrection.

Today, I am posting from a blog that I did last year on the membership site, Enriching Your Life Now, called, The Greatest Lie Ever Told.  (By the way, if you subscribe to this blog, Confidence And Joy, which is free, then you get total access to the “Enriching” site – that’s a free lifetime membership!)

The Greatest Lie Ever Told!

There is a lie that has been going around for centuries.  It is the biggest lie ever told.  In this post, you will see it clearly and logically.

There are a number of verses in the Bible that talk about God raising Jesus Christ from the dead.  There have been others who have been raised from the dead, including Lazarus, but this event was different.  This is in a class of its own.

Jesus Christ was resurrected from the dead to die no more.

Some, however, believe that it was just a lie.  People are entitled to their opinion.  But the question for the naysayers is, “Where is their proof?”  “Where is there evidence?”

Were The Disciples Promoting A Lie?

The information in the Scriptures, the historical evidence, as well as the actions and speech of those in the first century clearly show that the resurrection of Jesus Christ was greatly promoted.  If they were promoting a lie, then it was the biggest lie ever told.  And if it was a lie, then some of the ways that they promoted it were just plain stupid.

First, as with any disagreement, there needs to be that which both parties can agree upon. If we are going to discuss the resurrection, then here are some things we need to agree upon first.

The Facts We Can Agree On

1. Jesus lived. If someone does not believe he ever existed, then it is pointless to discuss a resurrection.  Besides, it is much easier to prove that he lived than it is to prove his resurrection.

2. There were certain Jewish leaders who instigated his death and the Romans ordered it and carried it out. Unless you believe that he was crucified it makes no sense to talk about the resurrection. It is much easier to prove the crucifixion than it is the resurrection.

3. He was indeed dead. It is pointless to have a discussion about a resurrection unless someone is dead.

4. Where he was buried was a known, accessible tomb. The tombs’ location was known by Jesus’ followers, The Jewish leaders, and by the Romans.

5. The Jewish leaders who were responsible for his death would be very interested in disproving a resurrection. If Jesus were raised from the dead, then those who instigated his death, which is very easy to prove, would lose all of their credibility.  It is very logical that they would do whatever it took to disprove the resurrection.

6. Many preached that he had been raised from the dead. They not only preached that he was raised from the dead, but they preached it in the same city where Jesus Christ was killed.

7. Followers of Jesus Christ were persecuted because of the preaching of the resurrection. There were in fact on a number of occasions told specifically not preach the resurrection of Jesus.

8. The known, accessible tomb that Jesus was buried in was indeed empty. Since it is easy to prove and document that certain Jewish leaders did indeed instigate his death, logically then, they would be very interested in disproving a resurrection.  By their very actions of persecuting those who preached the resurrection, we know that they knew that the tomb was empty.  In persecuting those who preached the resurrection, no one ever said, ‘”He is still buried.”  The tomb was indeed empty.

All of those eight facts are much easier to prove than the resurrection. And if you acknowledge those facts then you are left with only two choices:  Either the disciples lied or they told the truth.

If It Was A Lie, Then What They Said Was Stupid!

If it didn’t happen, if it isn’t true, then it is a lie.  And if it is a lie, then those in the first century who preached his resurrection were liars.  And those who wrote the Scriptures were also promoting a lie.  And, as I said before, if it was a lie, some of the ways they promoted it were just plain stupid.

For example, the Scriptures state the following facts:  Jesus was indeed in a tomb; The Jewish leaders knew where it was; A Roman guard was dispatched, which means Roman soldiers knew where it was; The Roman soldiers witnessed something supernatural; The Jewish leaders knew something supernatural happened, because the soldiers told them; The Jewish leaders paid large sums of money to the soldiers to lie!

If you are trying to promote something that is not true, then why use details that could easily be documented?  Many of those things would be a matter of public record:  the religious leaders’ meeting with Pilate, the assigning of soldiers, and the sealing of the tomb; so many things would be easily documented, and therefore easy to verify.  In other words, if you were promoting a lie you would be found out rather quickly.

And Here’s The Biggest Blunder

And if it was just a lie, then perhaps the biggest blunder had to do with the accounts on that Sunday morning, Easter Sunday, referred to by some as Resurrection Sunday.  If you really think about it, there is no way any person in their right mind, intentionally promoting a lie, could ever tell the story that they told.

If you take the time to read all four Gospels, they all testify that the news of the resurrection was given first to women.  They also tell of Jesus first appearing to Mary Magdalene, and then to the other women.  And finally, the scriptures concur that angels told the women to go and tell the others that Jesus was raised from the dead.

You would never come up with a story like that if you were promoting a lie; at least not in that culture!  If you really wanted people to believe you, in that culture, you would never have women as the first eyewitnesses.  No one would believe you.  And notice that when the women told the men, they did not believe them.

In that day and time and culture the women did not have all the rights that men had.  Even today in some cultures women do not have the same rights that men have.  So, if you were promoting a lie, in that culture, you would never, ever have women playing such an important role.

This Is Evidence – This Is Real Proof!

This speaks so very loudly and hardly anyone ever even notices.  Yet, it could easily be classified as evidence and proof of the resurrection!  In that culture, an angel appearing to a man would be much more credible than an angel appearing to a woman, and then telling the woman to go and tell the men.

Where Is Their Proof?

Finally, there is no evidence in history, anywhere, of anyone, who was an eyewitness, ever retracting their story, or recanting, or denying, or saying that it was just a big lie.  Even those who were killed, martyred for their beliefs, still never denied the resurrection. You don’t pay that high of a price for a lie.

It is absurd to even consider that the resurrection of Jesus Christ was a lie with no evidence of any of the eyewitnesses ever discounting it. In fact, there is no solid evidence anywhere, from anyone that disproves the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  There is no evidence!

For many Christians the Scriptures themselves stand and they need no defense. What is written is the Word of God.  Many choose to simply accept and believe the divine revelation.

The Greatest Lie Ever Told!

But, in addition to the Scriptures, there is also abundant evidence, and logic. In fact, so much so, that for anyone to say and propound that Jesus Christ was not raised from the dead, they are indeed promoting the greatest lie ever told!

Acts 17:31
Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

The absolute assurance that God has given to all people that Jesus Christ is indeed the one that He has ordained, is that He raised him from the dead to die no more.  That is God’s stamp of approval; that is His seal of authenticity.

Now, anyone, anywhere can acknowledge Jesus Christ as the lord of all men, the savior for mankind, the redeemer, the Messiah, God’s only begotten Son – the lord of all men, and believe that God raised him from the dead and receive salvation.

Romans 10:9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

He Is Risen!

Moving Forward

There are some people who say God must have a reason why negative things are happening to them.  Others are waiting for God to “do something!”  Others float through life accepting everything that comes their way as the will of God.

Yes, of course we look to God for help and guidance,; we trust Him for His help.  But we must do our part. God expects us to use our oars!   This short video (2:09) is all about moving forward so that God can direct your path.

Enjoy the video.

My Country, ‘Tis Of Thee

It’s Another Podcast! (Or is it a rant?)

I was going to write an article, but decided at the last minute to just sit down at the microphone and record a podcast.  This one may very well be labeled as a rant.  Some people might not like it at all.

I would really like see your comments after you listen to the whole thing.  It’s not that long (16:45) I really hope it makes you think and pray for your country.  We really do need God’s help.

Please leave a comment regardless of how you feel after hearing this podcast.

America (My Country, ‘Tis of Thee)
My country,’ tis of thee,
sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing;
land where my fathers died,
land of the pilgrims’ pride,
from every mountainside let freedom ring!

My native country, thee,
land of the noble free, thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
thy woods and templed hills;
my heart with rapture thrills, like that above.

Let music swell the breeze,
and ring from all the trees sweet freedom’s song;
let mortal tongues awake;
let all that breathe partake;
let rocks their silence break, the sound prolong.

Our fathers’ God, to thee,
author of liberty, to thee we sing;
long may our land be bright
with freedom’s holy light;
protect us by thy might, great God, our King.

Easter 2010

Easter is April 4th.  During this time of year we are mindful of the sufferings that Jesus Christ endured on our behalf.  We reflect on the price paid for the redemption of mankind.

In this short video (3:04) I point out three different versions of Isaiah 52:14, a verse that graphically prophesied the extreme physical punishment the Messiah would endure for all of mankind.

He endured all that horrendous punishment and pain.  He laid down his life; he died for us.  And, 3 days and 3 nights later, God raised him from the dead!  The great message at Easter time is, Jesus Christ is alive!

Enjoy the video.

Listen To Healing Words

I set it all up over the weekend.  I have been thinking about doing it for some time. And, so, I am happy to announce that I have lowered the price on my best selling product, Healing Words.  I’m even going to give you the first track for free on this blog post.

healingwords_smThis CD has been a great to help to many people when they were sick or under the weather, myself included.  Early last week I listened to it for several evenings as I was falling asleep.

Healing Words contains no preaching or teaching.  It has beautiful music in the background as I read many, many scriptures that pertain to healing.  It is a very powerful presentation because you will be hearing God’s words regarding healing.

How Can This Help?

All of God’s promises are received by believing, and believing comes from the heart.  The Bible says that faith, or believing, comes by hearing the word of God. Listening to this CD can help you to believe to receive your healing.

Over the years I have known people who have recorded verses about prosperity, healing, and other matters.  They then listened to those over and over.  They did that as a method to help them get their minds to accept and believe what God’s Word said.  They did that so that they could arrive at the point of receiving from God.

Every day we are bombarded from the radio, TV, movies, billboards, magazines, even people we talk to, with information about sickness and ill health.  Listening to Healing Words will simply bombard your mind with words about God’s healing instead.

I have received many compliments regarding this CD, and I appreciate each and every one of them.  I have given away many, many copies because I know it helps people.  I have now decided to lower the cost so that more people can take advantage of it.  I reduced the price from $24 to $17.

Listen To The First Track

The first track is entitled, God’s Nature is to Heal.  Just click the player to listen to the entire track (7:25)

The complete CD is nearly one hour in length, containing 8 tracks, 2 of which are instrumentals.  Healing Words is a powerful CD that will not just encourage you, but it will be a great asset in helping you believe God’s promises so you can receive healing.  And, it also makes a great gift to give to someone who is ill or under the weather.

Track 1 – God’s Nature is to Healhealingwords-front-back
Track 2 – God’s Forgiveness
Track 4 – They Were Healed (Old Testament
Track 5 – They Were Healed (Gospels and New Testament)
Track 7 – The Goodness and Love of God
Track 8 – Victory
(Tracks 3 and 6 are instrumental tracks)

The Gates Of Hell

From the Category, “The Eastern Eye”

[The Bible is an “Eastern” book.  It was written many years ago in the “East” which today we refer to as “The Middle East.”  As such, there are many customs and idioms that are not familiar to the “Western” mind.]

gate-1The expression, “gates of hell” occurs only once in the Scriptures.  The context in which Jesus uses that expression is very interesting.  He had asked his disciples who people were saying that he was.  Finally, he asked them, “But who do you say that I am?”

Simon Peter answered immediately and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”  Jesus Christ commented that flesh and blood didn’t reveal that to Peter, but instead, the Father in heaven.

Jesus then went on to say that you are Peter (a small stone), and, upon this rock (large unmovable stone,) I will build my church and the “gates of hell” shall not prevail against it.  Christ’s church is not built upon a man, but upon Christ himself.  (We’ll save that debate for another time.)

Jesus then said that the “gates of hell” would not prevail against his church. Since that phrase, “gates of hell” is only used once in the scriptures, it makes it very, very unique.  Are these literal gates?  How many gates are there?  What is “hell?”

What Is Hell?

In this verse, the word “hell” is translated from the Greek word, hades.  Hades means the grave, death, or you could even say, “gravedom.”  It has nothing to do with burning in a fire somewhere.  In fact, in Acts 2 it says that Jesus was not left in hades.  He died and was buried, and thus was in hades, but God raised him from the dead.

So again, are these “gates of hell” figurative or literal?  They obviously cannot be literal gates.  There are no physical gates that lead to death.  One could take the position that since Christ came to bring eternal life, nothing shall prevail against that eternal life.  Even those who have died believing in Christ will not stay in the grave permanently, but will, when he returns, be resurrected.  (See John 3:16 Compilation)

E.W. Bullinger noted that the word “gates” is the figure of speech metonymy, The figure of speech metonymy is when the name of one thing is used in place of another that is suggested by or associated with it.  Thus, “gates” represents power.  Even the power of the grave will not prevail against Christ’s church.

It must be understood that Christ’s church is neither a gate-2building nor a denomination.  His church is comprised of those who believe in Christ, and Ephesians states that Christ is the head of the church.

However, Bishop K.C. Pillai believed that there was an even deeper truth in this passage.  He taught that this phrase, “gates of hell,” had a specific philosophical meaning to the people in the lands and times of the Bible.

worried-female-2

He said that there are actually three gates: fear, worries, and anxiety.  Even today in our western world, each of those three have been associated with death, figuratively and idiomatically.  For example, “scared to death,” and, “worried to death,” are both common phrases in our culture. In addition, people have died due to a nervous breakdown.  Fear, worries, and anxiety can take a tremendous toll on the physical body.

Shall Not Prevail

Jesus said that the “gates of hell” shall not prevail against his church.  Why then are followers of Christ overcome with fears, worries and anxiety?  Jesus also said that those who believe in him shall do the works that he did.  Not all believers are doing the works that he did.  It is not automatic, but it is available.

worried-male-2

Jesus Christ is the “rock.”  He is the way, the truth and the life.  By believing in Christ one obtains eternal life and is made righteous.  For the one believing in Christ, fears, worries and anxiety may confront him, but cannot prevail against that person.  In other words, if your mind is on the “rock,” Christ Jesus, and what he accomplished for you, then fears, worries and anxiety will not prevail against you.

Why Are Some Christians Living With Fears, Worries, And Anxieties?

There are Christians who seem to be dominated by fears, worries and anxiety.  Why worried-female-3is that? The privileges and abilities we have received by believing in Christ are not automatic in our lives.

The Bible declares that it is Christ in us and that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.  Therefore, by our free will choice, we can refuse to allow fears, worries and anxieties to prevail against us.  We choose to believe who God has made us.

Fears, worries and anxiety may confront us, but they are not supposed to prevail against us.  He that is in you is greater than he that is in the world.  We have been given the ability to be more than conquerors in all situations.

worried-male-3Jesus Christ is the master, and the Bible tells us that it is Christ in us.  Therefore when it comes to fears, worries, and anxiety, we don’t allow those to dominate us.  But instead, we are masters over our lives by the strength of the Christ in us.

One of the main reasons that so many Christians are being overcome by fears, worries and anxieties is because they do not believe or accept who God has made them to be as a born again one.   According to the Bible, we can be victorious in all situations in life!

Nothing Changes?

What good is it to become a born again Christian and receive eternal life if nothing in this life changes?  Some teach that we are to just suffer for the Lord, and be patient and endure; after all, this life is supposed to be a struggle and that’s what Christians can expect.

Those who preach that kind of message must certainty have a confident-femalelot of pages missing from their Bibles!  Yes, we have indeed been given eternal life, but what about this life we live now?  The Bible declares that it is Christ in us, the hope of glory, that we are more than conquerors, that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us and, that greater is he that is in us than he that is in the world.

Smiling African American businessmanFears, worries and anxiety may certainly confront us, but it is up to us to determine that we will believe who the Bible says that we are, and choose to accept that we can do what the Bible says that we can do.  As a born again one, we are part of Christ’s church, and he declared that the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Matthew 16:15-18
He said unto them, But whom say you that I am?

And Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed are you, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood has not revealed it unto you, but my Father who is in heaven.

And I say also unto thee, That you art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Acts 2:31
He seeing this before spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

I John 4:4
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

Colossians 1:27
To whom God would make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Romans 8:31-39
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God who justifies.

Who is he that condemns? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Resources
There are a number of books that you can read to get insight on customs, manners, idioms and meanings from the Eastern culture in which the Bible was written.  The best I know of were written by Bishop K. C. Pillai I have had the pleasure of listening to many recorded teaching by him.

He wrote three books, and they are hard to find, and are usually over priced.  But, if you want to you can check this link to see what Amazon has to offer. Light Through an Eastern Window

Another great resource that I have used for years is a book called, “Manners and Customs of the Bible,” by James Freeman. Mine was printed in 1972 and I know they have newer additions. For the newest edition, just click the link and it will take you to Amazon. The New Manners and Customs of the Bible (Pure Gold Classics)

What Are Your Limits?

st-pattyHappy St Patrick’s Day!  Saint Patrick is of course the most commonly recognized of the patron saints of Ireland. It began as a purely Catholic holiday and became an official feast day in the early 1600s. However, as you and I know, it has gradually become more of a secular celebration of Ireland’s culture.  So whether you are Irish or not, enjoy the day!

What Are Your Limits?

How much potential do we really have?  Is there a point in life when we can just say, “I’ve reached my limits, that’s all I can do?”  Or, can we continue to grow?

Did you hear about Marion Jacobson? She published her second children’s book a couple of years ago.  So, what’s so unusual about that?  Plenty of people write books.  But, on the other hand there are lots of people who want to write a book, but never do. Marion finished her second book at the tender age of 95.

Verne_Oliver___Headshot1Then there’s Verne Oliver.  She joined the Gilder Foundation as its associate director, using its grants to create or renovate more than 100 elementary school media centers across New York City. She was very involved in putting the finishing touches on two school libraries.  Oh, and by the way, Verne joined the Gilder Foundation when she retired in 1987 and at age 85.

Lot’s of people saw Lillian Cox, of Tallahassee, Florida on TV. She lillian-coxmust really have places to go and people to see.  Perhaps that’s why a couple of years ago she renewed her drivers license when she was 101.

Are You Really Too Old?

There are dozens and dozens of stories like these.  And I’m not saying that you should write a book or drive a car at age 100.  Although I know there are people who would say that at that age you are too old.   And while Marion may not make the best sellers list, and Lillian will never drive at the Indy 500, they decided to live life to the fullest!

As long as you are alive there are things that you can learn and things you can do!  You can learn and grow; you can reach out, discover, and expand your life!  When the famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright was asked near the end of his career which of his buildings was his favorite, he replied, “My next one!”

On the other hand, many people have just stopped living and are doing little more than existing.  They have become complacent and are just settling for the way life is.  They lack excitement and enthusiasm for life.

Far too many people have stopped hoping and dreaming.  Although that is what they have chosen to do, it doesn’t mean that they have run out of potential.

What Do You Believe About You?

A lot of people today really believe that their best days are behind them.  That is what they choose to believe.  But why not expect that your best days are in front of you?  Thinking that way is also a choice.  God gave us free will to think whichever way we choose to think.  The startling reality is that we will reap the results of those choices.

One of the reasons people have chosen to stop dreaming is because of past failures or disappointments.  Because of what happened in the past, they are afraid of doing or trying anything new.  They just play it safe, stay comfortable and settle.

The truth is that many, many successful people have had many, many disappointments.  But they refused to carry a failure mind set.  They just continued to reach forth to another new endeavor.  It’s a good thing Abraham Lincoln didn’t stop living life after a disappointment or two, or three, or four!

Many people pray to God and ask for open doors.  But seldom do they get up and grab the doorknob to see if it opens!  And, if they do, and it doesn’t open, so many times then they give up.

Don’t Give Up!  Try Another Door!

If you are reading this article then your life is not over!  There are things to discover; there are things to learn. What are you waiting for?

The only valid limits that you have in your life are the ones that you have accepted.

george-dawsonJust ask George Dawson who had his book published at age 101 titled, “Life is So Good.”  Before he wrote his book, George decided he’d better learn to read first, so he took an adult literacy class when he was 98 years old!  And, yes, he finally got his GED at the age of 103.

I Woke Up This Morning

It’s Another Podcast!

I woke up this morning.  You might be thinking, “Yes, and…?  You might be expecting me to finish that sentence with something clever like, “I woke up this morning with a great idea!”  Well, no; I simply woke up.  That’s the whole sentence.

Does this seem too obvious to you?  I mean if you are reading this blog then you woke up too.  Okay, since we’re now both awake, why don’t you take a few minutes (4:51) and listen to this podcast, and then, try and remember it tomorrow morning when you wake up.
