Dear friends,

In the beginning of the year it is nice to share good wishes with other friends and family's members. We have always to remember and pray for the christian church in all.

We don't share all belief with many church, but we have to consider the readers of the Bible as friends and be solidaire with them.

In this time, we have to think on our sisters and brothers of many countrys like Pakistan, Iran, Turquay, all the arabs countrys and Nigeria, where the christans face destructions and persecussions and are killed just because they are fellowers of Christ.

In north and central parts of Nigeria, muslims attack christians villages and churches, burn and kill all the christians they can find. It is muslim's plan to destroy all christans from the lands where muslims are now present.

We also want to share something with all of you. You know it was Christmas time, the tree and presents. If we want to talk about the birth of Christ, for many people we are extremists ! The TV and other media don't share the reall spirit of Christmas. These media gave to us 5 minutes to  show the Pope in Roma, like an folkloric event, but nothing for the Good News of Christ.

God bless you all for the New Year

Christ, Christmas and, the christian church

 

We want to share with you our way of doing for Christmas.

 

First to know, Jesus was not against the religious feasts or festivals.

Jesus cames for festivals in Jerusalem, like in Mark 14,12.

- Remember, the 4 christians feasts : Christmas, Easter, Ascension Day and Pentecost.

The most important festival is Easter. It is the sacrifice of Christ to save us, and also His resurection from the dead.

 

Let’s come back to Christmas.

We have to know that the first church didn’t feast Christmas, it came later with the institutionalisation of the church.

- Before to feast Christmas, we have to know when Jesus was born ?

When we read the Gospel according to Luke 2,8, we read that shepherds were at night in the field to care for their flocks.

In Palestine, in winter, between december and march, at night, the sheeps stay in their cattle-shed, because it is to cold and the shepherds are also the night at home.

So Jesus is certainly born in springtime, when the shepherds and their flocks are back at night in the field.

 

Why to choose 25 december for Christmas ?

These days, between 23 -24 of december is the winter solstice.

The days, from june (in the north hemisphère) came shorter till desember.

From the 24 -25 of december the days become longer, with more light ! The light wins against the darckness !

From long time, this period of the year was a pagan festival : the festival of the light !

When the church becomes powerfull and stronger as the pagans in the Roman Empire, it choose the 25 of december to be the feast of the right Light. The light of the true God, Jesus Christ.

And, ….. feast the birth of Jesus Christ !

 

« I am the light of the world, Whoever follows me will have the light of life and will never walk in darkness ». Said Jesus in John 8,12

 

It was the main reason to choose 25 december as Christmas day !

 

For us as christians it is not realy a problem to feast the birth of Christ the 25 december or an other day.

- This day, The day of Christmas, make a festival of reconciliations between families, communuties, reconciliation between christians.

 

But, be realy carefull that this festival remains in the honor of Christ, don’t accept the pagan propaganda in super marckets and other business activities.

- The « Christmas tree », Santa Claus or Father Christmas have nothing to do with our Christmas.

- In Christmas, read the Bible with your family, with the christian community,

 

share the Good News of Christ with others.

 

Remember, Christ came to be our Savior !

 

Be blessed in this time of Christmas.

Dear friends

We have to remember, archeology shows us ruin of a nestorian church from the years 300 who was found in Indonesia,  in South Sumatra.

More as 200 years before Mahomet birth's in Arabia !

This year 2011 christians face persecutions in Indonesia.

The 25 of september a suicide bombing in a church in Solo killed one, and heavely wonded 10.

 

Dear friends, don't forget our sisters and brothers in the multy religious Indonesia, where the muslims try to clean the land from other faiths

About the Holy Spirit, our Helper (John 14,16).

Who is The Holy Spirit ? We are going a head with our life study, we studied before in the blog.

 

For the trinitarians, God is 3, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, The Holy Spirit has to be like the Father or the Son. It is not easy to understand the trinity, it is also un-biblical as the Holy Bible teach us.

For trinitarians, the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, and the 3 have to be One God !

 

For many unitarians, The Father is God, the Son is the Son of God, not God the Son, and the Holy Spirit is the power of God, God Himself !

 

For us, Christians unitarians, we believe that God is the Father, Jesus is the Son of God, not God’s Son, and the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of verity, the Helper that Jesus sent to us (John 14,16 +26).

 

If we carrefully read the Bible, we can see that when it is writing about the Spirit, it can be some times God Himself, like in John 4,24 « God is Spirit … ».

 

Most of the time, the Spirit is the Holy Spirit, like in the next versets :

In Matthew 12,31-32 and Mark 3,28-29, about the sin against the Holy Spirit, they will not be forgiven.

Matthew 28,19 about the baptism formula. Why to baptize the christians converts in the Name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, specialy if the Holy Spirit is God’s power ? It was more easy to baptize in the Name of the Father or God, and of the Son = Christ ! And no more.

 

In many texts of the New Testament, we understand that the Holy Spirit has His own personality, like in the fellowing texts .

In 1 Corinthians 12,3-11, we have the list of the Spirit’s gifts.

In 2 Corinthians 13,13 Paul greet the Corinthian community in the name of God, of Christ, and of the Holy Spirit.

 

Ephesians 4,4-6, is a biblical confession of faith with One Spirit :

 

« 4, There is one body (the Church), and one Spirit (the Holy Spirit), just as there is one hope to wich God (the Eternal Father) has called you. 5, There is one Lord, … ».

Why to refer to the Holy Spirit in this text if the Holy Spirit is God ?

 

« The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. » (2Cor.13,13)
