The Real Problem with Anxiety What you thought was a mere struggle with an anxious disposition might really be a far deeper struggle with trusting God.

UN abortion activists publicly admit stealth plot NEW YORK (C-Fam) Abortion advocates have finally publicly admitted their ongoing plot to impose abortion and sexual rights on the world.

President Cyril Ramaphosa buckled under pressure from his party, the SA Democratic Teachers Union (SADTU) and COSATU and signed the controversial “Basic Education Laws Amendment” (BELA) Bill into law on 13 September at the Union Buildings in Pretoria.
Ramaphosa proved once again that he governs in the narrow interest of the ANC and its allies, SADTU and COSATU – and not the people of South Africa. He did, however, suspend two controversial clauses in the Bill for three months to find a “workable solution.”

Do you believe one plus one equals two? Sure do. So how come is it that you do believe it? Cannot be anything else. It is absolutely just two and nothing more and nothing less. Reason why I’m asking is that I noticed you do believe and live by some absolute…..but not in others…. like the absolute fact that a person with xx chromosomes is a women or a female human….., and those people with xy chromosomes are, what we have called since the days of Adam in the absolutely true book of Genesis, male.

Spreuke 4:20-23 “My seun, luister na wat ek sê, neig jou oor tot my woorde, laat hulle nie wyk uit jou oë nie, bewaar hulle binne-in jou hart.

Is Christianity a religion or a relationship?

Religion is “the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.” In that respect, Christianity can be classified as a religion. However, practically speaking, Christianity has a key difference that separates it from other belief systems that are considered religions. That difference is relationship.

Most religion, theistic or otherwise, is man-centered. Any relationship with God is based on man’s works. A theistic religion, such as Judaism or Islam, holds to the belief in a supreme God or gods; while non-theistic religions, such as Buddhism and Hinduism, focus on metaphysical thought patterns and spiritual “energies.” But most religions are similar in that they are built upon the concept that man can reach a higher power or state of being through his own efforts. In most religions, man is the aggressor and the deity is the beneficiary of man’s efforts, sacrifices, or good deeds. Paradise, nirvana, or some higher state of being is man’s reward for his strict adherence to whatever tenets that religion prescribes.

In that regard, Christianity is not a religion; it is a relationship that God has established with His children. In Christianity, God is the aggressor and man is the beneficiary (Romans 8:3). The Bible states clearly that there is nothing man can do to make himself right with God (Isaiah 53:6; 64:6; Romans 3:23; 6:23). According to Christianity, God did for us what we cannot do for ourselves (Colossians 2:13; 2 Corinthians 5:21). Our sin separates us from His presence, and sin must be punished (Romans 6:23; Matthew 10:28; 23:33). But, because God loves us, He took our punishment upon Himself. All we must do is accept God’s gift of salvation through faith (Ephesians 2:8–9; 2 Corinthians 5:21). Grace is God’s blessing on the undeserving.

The grace-based relationship between God and man is the foundation of Christianity and the antithesis of religion. Established religion was one of the staunchest opponents of Jesus during His earthly ministry. When God gave His Law to the Israelites, His desire was that they “love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength” (Deuteronomy 6:5; Matthew 22:37). “Love” speaks of relationship. Obedience to all the other commands had to stem from a love for God. We are able to love Him “because He first loved us” (1 John 4:19). However, by Jesus’ time, the Jewish leaders had made a religion out of God’s desire to live in a love relationship with them (1 Timothy 1:8; Romans 7:12). Over the years, they had perverted God’s Law into a works-based religion that alienated people from Him (Matthew 23:13–15; Luke 11:42). Then they added many of their own rules to make it even more cumbersome (Isaiah 29:13; Matthew 15:9). They prided themselves on their ability to keep the Law — at least outwardly — and lorded their authority over the common people who could never keep such strenuous rules. The Pharisees, as adept as they were at rule-keeping, failed to recognize God Himself when He was standing right in front of them (John 8:19). They had chosen religion over relationship. https://www.gotquestions.org/Christianity-religion-relationship.html

Kan dit gebeur dat iemand vir baie jare ‘n Christen is, maar nie geestelik opgroei om volwassenheid te bereik nie? Die Hebreërbrief spreek hierdie einste probleem aan: “Want terwyl julle teen hierdie tyd reeds leraars moes gewees het, het julle nou weer nodig dat iemand julle die grondbeginsels van die uitsprake van God leer, ... Heb. 5:12-14. Die lesers van die Hebreërbrief het nie geestelik gegroei soos hulle moet nie, met die gevolg dat die geestelike vastekos nou vir hulle baie moeilik is om te “verteer”.

“Jy mag geen valse getuienis teen jou naaste spreek nie.” Eksodus 20:16. Wat word in die negende gebod gebied en verbied? Is ons besig met kwaadstokery, laster, naamskending, skinder en venyn?
