DVC - final installation

I think the movie has come and would be gone very soon...based on the reviews i am hearing.
But still i have received feedback that some of our faith have been challenged.
I decided that this would be my last blog on this matter.

DVC has many false claims. Among those is the claims that all the history and facts are real. They were quoted from historians....yet upon further checking, you would find that NO historian was consulted...those he quoted were all authors and conspiracy theoists.

Further, his understanding of Christian history and findings were erratic. He is very novice in his understanding of even basic Christianity and historic finding. And for us to allow our faith to be challenged by man who is not even proper tutored in our faith only get to show how shallow we are in our faith itself.

So if this apply to you, time to enrol yourselves in LOS. Go to church regularly and ask questions to your leaders...they would be stronger in their faith when they are able to find and answer your questions.

Have FUN!

gnostic and gospel of judas

i did my teaching on Christology. And in the process, i did some study on the gnostic bible. i discovered that the gnostic is more interested in the hidden revelation of God than dealing with the fleshly issues of marriage or intimacy with Mary. such revelation or knowledge is for selfish gain. Anyway, the claims by Dan Brown, that Jesus married/had sex with Mary as "mentioned in the gnostic" is really baseless. He, knowingly or unknowingly, was attacking the deity of God through his conspiracy theory. I pray that he would see the Light and repent of his stumbling works.

As for the gosepl of judas, i was told that we should appreciate Judas. The reason was that without him, there would be no betrayal, no cross, no redemption.
This arguement had been around for ages. The truth is with or without Judas, God's plan of redemption would still be done. Jesus had no need to convince Judas to betray Him as opposed to what the Judas Gospel suggested. If we need to appreciate Judas because of the indirect contribution to salvation....we need to thank the devil too.

God is much more power than to need mere human to help Him to complete His redemption.
Actually, Devil was caught off guard, in the redemption plan. And wanted to kill Jesus at all possible cause. as such, even without judas, the devil would still move his armies in the human to capture Jesus. Only to fall into the greatest conspiracy of all....the redemption via the cross.

Sigh...if only we could make effort to know the bible and be impressed with God's surprise move, conspiracy work, wonderful miracles.....we would always find the wordly information interesting.

Personally, i am praying for a time next week to avail myself to handle all enquries about Da Vinc code and judas gospel. i would be flying back from beijing....but i felt the need to do...any comments...,,,,

Are you there?

I have been busy with many projects coming up.....starting with preaching at the baptism service tonight, preparing for my China trip + teaching there, leading PnP next friday, teaching Christology next Sunday, completing my M Ed project, organising GCYC and NCTC...

So i may not be writing anything pastoral over the next few weeks.

However, i am open to response to any questions you may have about our faith....just drop that into "comments". i will then enter my response into this blog. i will wait for 3-4 comments before i make my entry.

Till then, do pray for me.

Are you there?

Gospel according to Judas and Da Vinci Code

I was very amused that National Geographic would make such a big wave about Gospel according to Judas. Upon further thoughts, i was no longer amused. They are all trying to cash in on the waves of the Da Vinci Code and the Easter weekend. But more than that, they were fulfilling the prophesy in Revelation that more false prophets and wrong teaching would abound in the end times.
The more i think of this, the more i looked forward to teaching my people about Christology and Revelation. I want to make sure all my people are informed of the schemes of the devil and thus be able to stay FAITHFUL WITH THE TRUTH till the END.
Gospel according to Judas cannot be taken seriously just as would you take someone, 200years later in the future, who would write about me? or would you take the writing of someone closer to me like my wife or children or even my immediate disciples? the choice is obvious, we would take the writing of those who had been with Jesus and who was closer to Jesus (the 4 Gospels book in the Bible) more seriously than those who wrote 200yrs later (ie Gospel according to Judas; which by the way, was not written by Judas).
Anyway, the Gnostic Bible has been around as a cult-teaching since the 200-300 AD. we should not be surprised that they are back in this End Times. So if you are reading this blog..consider yourself informed!
