The Old Testament prophets said "Thus says the Lord..." When Jesus came, he never used this term. He said "Truly, truly, I say to you..." (John 12:24), or "Moses said...but I say to you..." (Matthew 5). And this is the glorious truth: The prophets spoke FOR the Lord, but Jesus spoke AS the Lord. JESUS CHRIST IS LORD! Nobody could and can speak like Him. Jesus also said "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word shall never pass away." (Matthew 24:35) Something more: The Bible is the Constitution of the Kingdom of God. No two-thirds majority of any parliament on earth can change it. Democratic vote or consensus does not decide Bible truth. "Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven" (Psalm 119:89). Jesus said: I AM THE TRUTH. (John 14:6) Are you blessed? REINHARD BONNKE 1 Like |

*modified* winner01: Bro you actually hit me hard @ bolded; as you may not understand the weight of impact that statement alone had on me. Something more: The Bible is the Constitution of the Kingdom of God. No two-thirds You just hit the bull eye with the above statement. As no man , group of persons nor any government of the day can in any way alter the incontrovertibility of God's word. They can misconstrued, misinterpret and manipulate it, but they cannot kill the eternal truth that it reprsents. Final bullet: John1:1 In the begining was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. Colossians 1:17 He is before all things, and by him all things consist Hebrew 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power... stay blessed bro. 1 Like |

The Gospel does not threaten sinners. It is glad news, not mad news. Yet Jesus talked more about hell than heaven – not as a THREAT but as a WARNING. There is something I’d call MILITANT MERCY. When a fast moving car approaches a child, we would snatch it from danger. It may be rough, but it is true mercy. That’s what Jesus does! JESUS SAVES. REINHARD BONNKE. |

True progress is to know God. Science has no substitute for
love. Adam and Eve were primitives but lived like kings walking
with God. That is life as God intended it. God who created all
things must have been an immensely wonderful Friend. God has
pushed hard for us to appreciate what He is and to understand
His feelings toward us. The Son of God tracked across the
universe to this one planet to introduce Himself –he is that
interested. Are there worlds like ours in space? Maybe, but this
is the world which God loved and to which He sent His Son to
shed His precious blood. “For God so loved the world, that He
gave His only begotten Son...” (John 3:16) God bless you
today. REINHARD BONNKE |

Two skydivers jump from a plane at 15,000 feet. Both are
wearing parachutes. One of them folds his arms, ignores the rip
cord, and says to himself: “I’m perfectly safe because of my
parachute.” He is still saying these words as he hits the ground
at 160 kilometers per hour. The other skydiver knows he will be
safe only if he actually does something. He pulls the rip cord
and lands safely. We may know about the Christian faith. We
may respect Jesus and agree that what he did on the cross is
the answer to our deepest needs. But until we actually ask for
his help and commit our lives to him, it is like falling with a
closed parachute. We need to take urgent action. We need to
pull the rip cord while there is still time. The rip cord is this:
“Whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be
saved.” (Romans 10,13) There is nothing else we can do. We
cannot save ourselves – we can only throw ourselves on what
Jesus achieved for us on the cross. He has done everything that
we need. Let’s act on it, lest we jump to quick conclusions. God
bless you. REINHARD BONNKE. |

Four men had a literal ‘breakthrough’ of faith. Luke 5:17-26
describes Christ in a house crowded with Pharisees and
teachers of the law, who had come out of every town of Galilee,
Judea, and Jerusalem. Obviously, many of them had physical
troubles, and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.
But none of these religious people were healed. Then, four men
brought a paralyzed man on a stretcher, and because they could
not get through the crowd, they went up the outside stairs of the
flat-roofed house, pulled apart the light coverings, and lowered
the man down right in front of Jesus. Seeing their faith, he
restored this man to health. It was a double breakthrough. They
broke through the roof, and they broke through the unbelief of
the crowd, which had kept them back from Christ. That happens
every time somebody is healed. It breaks through the unbelief of
the world. It has to; otherwise we will never get near Jesus at
all. Believe God! Trust Jesus. God bless you. REINHARD

The church has too often trusted scholarship, erudition, genius,
logic, and philosophy. But Paul said God has chosen the foolish
things. (1Cor 1:27) The Apostles did NOT preach logic, BUT
THE POWER OF GOD. It is said that preachers should defend
Jesus Christ – like lawyers in court. We argue to get a verdict in
favor of Jesus. But that is human wisdom only. Jesus needs no
defending. You don’t need to defend a lion, just open the cage.
He can look after himself. Jesus is the Lion of the Tribe of
Judah!!! He is not a prisoner in the dock. His repute is beyond
any judge and jury. WE ARE NOT LAWYERS, WE ARE
WITNESSES. (Acts 1:  Normally a witness only speaks and
describes what he has seen. Sometimes however a witness is a
living piece of evidence, when he has been personally injured in
an attack. Witnesses don't argue, don't plead, and don’t make
speeches. They simply speak the truth, declare what they know.
I am a “living piece of evidence” that Jesus is alive. Are you?

Years ago I befriended a business man, as a matter of fact, I
was his customer. I told him about Jesus and he told me about
his religion. One day he announced that he was going to make a
pilgrimage to the grave of the founder of his faith. I think he
went to somewhere to India. On his return my friend reported
with glowing eyes how precious that grave was, decked with
gold, silver and kept talking about the “beautiful, beautiful
grave”. Suddenly the Holy Spirit spoke in my heart and said “the
most beautiful thing about the grave of Jesus is that it is
empty”. The angels said “He is NOT here, for He has
risen” (Matthew 28:6). And Jesus later Himself confirmed: “I am
He who lives and was dead and behold, I am alive forever more.
Amen. And have the keys of Hades and of Death” (Revelation
1:18) JESUS IS ALIVE. He is with you wherever you may be,
right “to the end of the world.” Are you rejoicing? This is

God is not just a cosmic engineer. He is love. He loves people.
Psalm eight and other Scriptures raise this point. The Psalmist
said “What is man?” Many read his words to mean that man is
worth so little. That is the opposite of what the Psalms express.
He was struck by the fact that GOD VISITS MAN. That alters the
picture, totally. Judge man by his size, or by his human
limitations and frailty, and he doesn’t amount to anything much.
But judge Him by the fact that God visits Him, and He suddenly
acquires enormous stature. The One who orders all things
according to the counsel of His will, to the farthest star, then
treats us with priority, persons He bothers with. What are we
then? He doesn’t visit the moon or Mars or travel and call on
stars in the edge of nothing, but He turns towards us! What is it
about us that brings His attention? Perhaps we can’t say. But
we can only wonder and be profoundly thankful. Thank you,
Jesus. God bless you. REINHARD BONNKE |

Evangelism is not about encouraging church growth by
membership switching, but about boldly leaping the gap
between the church and the world. It is not an offer of religion to
people who are that way inclined. The gospel is not for some
people and not for others. It is for men and women, young and
old. It is designed to challenge indifference and hostility for
“while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Rom 5: . Jesus
did not come to this world to call the righteous, but sinners. We
are not judges ordering people what to do and what not to do.
We are saying, “Change your mind”, which is what the word
“repent” really means. God bless you. REINHARD BONNKE |

Christianity has plenty of competitors if you rank it lower than
what it is, and want it like that – just a part-time interest, a
good cause, a Sunday club, or psychological comfort for old
age- all merely incidental. But that is not it. Christianity is
Christ and Jesus Christ is life, the comprehensive purpose and
power of life, life for the living. Nobody else, no religion big or
small, has anything like that on offer, you may search the whole
globe. The Bible says “Lay hold on life” (1 Timothy 6:12) – Get
that life and live all the days of your life. God bless you.

It can be argued that this or that religion is better than another,
but the Gospel offers only one thing – JESUS. He is the only
One opening his arms to all people. Does anyone have another
Jesus to offer? He is everything. He is the Alpha and Omega.
The Lord said, “He who believes in me has everlasting life” (Jn
6:47). Jesus is not a religion. He is a Person to meet and live
by, the living Word. He is not a messenger from God. He is the
Message and that what the messengers talked about. There is
life in Him and that life comes to us through the Word of God.
God bless you. REINHARD BONNKE |

If you bury a lie, it will rot. If you bury the truth, it will rise.
That’s why the grave couldn’t hold JESUS. He is “the way the
truth and the life…” REINHARD BONNKE |

When God says “I will”, it forms a covenant. “Because He could
swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself” (Heb 6:13) to
perform certain deeds. Usually, they are unconditional, but
some will fail unless we take hold of them, and act upon them.
God’s “I will” covenants have two qualities. They are
spontaneous and they are absolute. “I will, be clean…” “In the
last days, says God, I will pour out of my Spirit on all flesh…” Be
blessed. REINHARD BONNKE |

The Roman captain knew the routine of crucifixion. (Mark 15:37
—39). First the crucified criminals were spitting and cursing,
then as their strength abated death would slowly set in. Now, on
horseback, the captain stood eye to eye with the dying Jesus!
Then we read “Jesus cried with a loud voice and breathed his
last.” That got the captains attention, because Christ’s last
words from the cross were “Father into your hands I command
my spirit!” Jesus had cried “with a loud voice”, full of energy
and had commanded his spirit to leave his body. It happened
that very same moment. Jesus did not die of a broken heart. HE
DIED AT HIS OWN COMMAND! Long before this, the Lord had
said in John 10: 17+18 “I have power to lay down my life…”…
and that was observed by that heathen soldier. The captain’s
revelation and conclusion? Jesus is more than a man! Jesus is
the Son of God! Jesus is my Savior! Trust in Jesus brings peace
with God! Are you blessed? REINHARD BONNKE |

Faith is not a mental exercise to believe the impossible,
believing what we know is not true. It is not believing
‘something’ at all. Faith is trust in God. It is personal. In the
Gospels Jesus never talks about believing something will
happen, a miracle perhaps, but always about believing Him. Our
destiny rests on faith. We are saved by faith. “Whoever believes
in the Son has eternal life.” John 3:36. The God we are to trust
in is worthy as the God who loved us and gave His Son to bear
our sins on the cross. God bless you. REINHARD BONNKE |

Creation relates only to the Creator. Nothing exists for itself; no
one exists in isolation from others – except rebellious sinners,
who then lose their only validity, which is God. We are not our
own meaning and without God we are irrelevant. Without God
our world, its commerce, its industrious activities, its
governments and its institutions become vanity and vexation of
spirit, as motiveless as the wind that blows from south to north
and back again (see Eccl 1:6). “You are worthy, our Lord and
God, to receive glory and honor and power; for you created all
things, and by your will they were created and have their
being.” (Rev 4:11) God bless you. REINHARD BONNKE |

Christian thinking is positive, but Positive Thinking is not
always Christian. Negative thinking is never Christian, never
Bible. The Gospel itself is God’s thought, which to human
thinking is foolishness - yet it is the wisdom of God. By the
Word we can have the mind of Christ. It challenges us to soar
like the eagles to live in the dimension of faith. God bless you.

When we pray, we pray on the same basis and with the same
rights as Paul, John, James and Peter. We rank equal with the
greatest saints. The promises to them are the promises to us.
They prayed the same Lord’s prayer as we pray. We have the
same privileges as they had. God has no favorites except we
are ALL His favorites. They had the same key to the door as we
have – the name of Jesus. We come to the front door and walk
in, without knocking, without a receptionist to announce us. We
do not need angels or saints to usher us into God’s presence.
We are sons and heirs – we have complete freedom of access
into our Father’s house. That is a very good reason indeed for
praying. We pray because it was made possible at great cost to
one person, Jesus Christ. We have been “brought near by the
blood of Christ” (Ephesians 2:13). What a price so that we can
pray! “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that
we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of
need” (Hebrews 4:16). That is the whole idea. “Therefore …
having boldness to enter the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a
new and living way which He has consecrated for us, through
the veil, that is, His flesh … let us draw near with a true heart in
full assurance of faith” (Hebrews 10:19-22). God bless you.

Nobody specified what the Son of God should be like. Jesus is
not the product of systematic theology. Many people try to
imagine what God should be like and what He should do, but
that is absurd. We might lay down standards for Miss World or
Mr. Universe, but nobody can lay down standards for God or the
Son of God. Jesus is too great for our small minds. He has
never fitted anybody's pattern book, leaving the scholars of His
day dithering and lost. We don't call Jesus the Son of God
because He measures up to what we think He should be. Any
truth about Him is derived from Him, and His face outshines all.
Peter said, "Nor is there salvation in any other" except in the
name of Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12, NKJV). Well, until that
statement is proved false, debate is pointless. If He saves, why
turn elsewhere or even look to see what other people believe?
Evander Holyfield and I could arrange a boxing match. Boxing
analysts could find things the two of us have in common: Both
of us are men; we have ears, feet and hands. But what's the
point of all the prefight comparisons in the world if I can't
measure up to his speed and power? And that's exactly the
issue when it comes to Jesus! No one can measure up to Him.

My church cannot save me and your church cannot save
you. This is because no church died for us. No pope, no

Those privileged to exercise the gifts of the Spirit must be
especially careful. Show offs will be shown up. Spiritual gifts
are not Oscars for display won as trophies of performance.

The cross of Christ is the biggest roadblock on the highway to
hell. It is the final red line which dare not be ignored. A friend of
mine told me of a notice he saw on the Alps in Switzerland,
saying “It is dangerous to step over the fence.” It was the most
sublime understatement, for there was nothing on the other side
of the fence to step on to whatever except thin air, and the rocks
two thousand feet below. Do not consider climbing over the
fence of God’s salvation. As the Swiss put it, “It is dangerous!”
But the good news is that Christ saves in such situations. You
will be forever “safe in the arms of Jesus.” Trust Him. God bless
you. REINHARD BONNKE |

A person ‘born from above’ would never be satisfied with a
world, which was gross and only material. They need spiritual
links as well as physical ones. The present world, with its
limited scientific laws, is not big enough for a converted
Christian, any more than a cage is for an eagle. It needs
extending, and that extension is into the fourth dimension
beyond our three dimensional world. We ‘walk in the
Spirit’ (Galatians 5:25). God has ‘made us sit together in
heavenly places in Christ Jesus’ (Ephesians 2:6). The Book of
Acts shows men beginning to draw upon new resources, and to
move through the world blessing the people with salvation and
healing. The first new men in Christ, new creatures of the
kingdom, were sent out to bring others into the same kingdom
order, with new instincts, new powers, and new laws written on
their heart (see Hebrews . How wonderful. REINHARD

The story of Jesus has got nothing to do with the old testament. they are basically two different concept and ideologies..and therefore by extension two different Gods..in the old testament death is a punishment but in the new it is a sign of victory..more over the story of Jesus is not Jewish it is Greek..they have the stories about the demi gods which Jesus falls into..the messiah the Jews are waiting for is a man and if and when he comes there will be peace in isreal and the middle east and he is coming once not twice...they do not have a second coming arrangement ..so i suggest you go ask the Vatican, who Jesus is??....my good guess, he is the fawn of Lucifer... |
