From the Heart by B.Demaere

But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who push the truth away from themselves.  For the truth about God is known to them instinctively.  God has put this knowledge in their hearts.  From time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and all that God has made.  They can clearly see his invisible qualities---his eternal power and divine nature.  So they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God. God's anger is not like human anger because it pleads for all mankind to plead for them to come to back to him.  It's more like a strong holy disapproval.  It's wicked people who push truth away from themselves.  Not their own made up truth but God's truth and anything that would draw them to himself.  They make a conscious effort to reject him knowing full well that God is the Author and Maker of all things and being created.  I had like to think that mankind is pushing the truth away from itself by introducing all kinds of doc

Where was Jesus to be born?  Micah 5:2  Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, are only a small village in Judah.  Yet a ruler of Israel will come from you, one whose origins are from the distant past. In the Hebrew language, Bethlehem stands for the House of Bread and Ephrathah means "Fruitful" This prophecy is fulfilled in Matthew 2:4-6 . ..Where did the prophet say the Messiah would be born?" he (Herod) asked them. In Bethlehem," they said, "for this is what the prophet wrote: ' O Bethlehem of Judah, You are not just a lowly village in Judah, for a ruler will come from you who will be the shepherd for my people Israel' "  Who was Jesus and was he born from a virgin?  Isaiah 7:14  His name was Immanuel and he was born from the virgin Mary. All right then the Lord himself will choose the sign.  Look! The virgin will conceive a child!  She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel----God is with us' The pro

For will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your godly one to rot in the grave. Since a dead body takes about 3 days to smell Jesus had to rise from the dead at that time. In Psalm 118:15-17 ...The strong right arm of the Lord has done glorious things. The strong right arm of the Lord is raised in triumph.  The strong right arm of the Lord has done glorious things!  I will not die, but I will live to tell what the Lord has done.  The Lord has punished me severely, but he has not handed me over to death.  Through other scriptures we know that Jesus is at the right of God the Father.  The right hand usually represents the place of authority.  Here in these verses alone "The right arm of the Lord is mentioned 3 times. Would it be a coincidence that he rose after 3 days? You might say: "Well, Jesus did die!", but you have to read it in the context of the whole verse...He was not handed over to death...meaning that he didn't fall victim of death like most people do
