MORMONISM: started by Joseph Smith claiming an angel gave him a message.

ISLAM: started by Muhammad claiming an angel gave him a message.

BIBLE: “even if an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, a curse be on him (Gal. 1:8)!”

[Joshua Mike-Bamiloye @jay_mikee]

You mean “Goodbye” came from the word “God Be With You” ?!

So “goodbye” is a contraction from the 16th century phrase “God be with ye” and was says so often till it became “Good-b’wye” then “goodbwye “ then finally “goodbye”.

My Christian mind… Blown.

[The Biblical Man @Biblicalman]

Luke 2:21.
Eight days old.
Circumcised according to the law.
And His name was called JESUS.
Not suggested.
Not voted on.
Commanded.

The world has spent 2,000 years trying to bury that name.
They struck it from schools.
Banned it from courts.
Softened it to “higher power” in the churches.
And you wonder why the West is on fire…

In Genesis — He’s the seed of the woman.
In Exodus — the Passover Lamb.
In Leviticus — the Atoning Sacrifice.
In Numbers — the serpent lifted up in the wilderness.
In Ruth — the Kinsman Redeemer.
In Job — the Living Personal Redeemer.
In Psalms — the Praise of His people.
In Isaiah — the Suffering Servant.
In Daniel — the Fourth Man in the furnace.
In Jonah — the Resurrected One.
In Malachi — the Sun of Righteousness.

In Matthew — the Promised Messiah.
In Mark — the Powerful Messiah.
In Luke — the Friend of Sinners.
In John — the Son of God who is also God.
In Acts — the Ascended Lord.
In Romans — the believer’s Righteousness.
In Hebrews — our Great High Priest.
In Revelation — the King of kings and Lord of lords.

Sixty-six books.
Forty authors.
Fifteen hundred years.
One name.
JESUS.

His name is above every name.
At His name, every knee bows.
In His name, demons flee.
In His name, the lame walk.
In His name, sins are forgiven.
In His name, the dead rise.
No other name under heaven by which we can be saved.

The name of Jesus literally means “YHWH Saves.”
He was given that name because He will save people from their sins.
Not might.
Will.

His name is the Word.
His name is Son of God.
His name is Son of Man.
His name is Lamb of God.
His name is the great I AM.
His name is Alpha and Omega.
His name is Wonderful.
Counsellor.
Mighty God.
Everlasting Father.
Prince of Peace.

You want power?
It’s not in your plans.
You want peace?
It’s not in your circumstances.
You want salvation?
It’s not in your effort.
It’s in the name.

Say it out loud right now.
JESUS.
Let your walls hear it.
Let your demons hear it.
Let your children hear it.

The name before time began.
The name after everything burns.
The name that will be on every tongue willingly or unwillingly — when He returns.
JESUS.

Drop His name in the replies.
One word.
Flood this post with the only name that saves.
JESUS.

This pastor asked Chat GPT:

“If you were the Devil, what would you do?”

The answer will change the way you look at life.

[Ru JaBrey @RuJaBrey]

@oldbookishplace You definitely are! I went with a friend last month to a used bookstore for the first time and it was wonderful! We chatted and browsed. And there was a bookstore cat that sat on me, purring for 25 minutes…best day ever! 😁

Have you ever noticed the Bible says there are two things that destroy anxiety?

[Shane Pruitt @shane_pruitt78]

There is no version of Christianity that permits you to continue sinning just because of God's love for you.

True love inspires true obedience.

The God who calls the stars by name will not forget his own children.

[Oliver Burdick @oliverburdick]

How cool is it that you can literally talk to God anytime, anywhere, about anything?

[Ru JaBrey @RuJaBrey]

@joigabrielle Yay! Praise God! <3

[Ru JaBrey @RuJaBrey]

Jesus is Lord.

Everything hinges on the Resurrection.

Period.
