BUDDHA, KRISHNA, GIA, THOR AND SHIVA!
By Pastor
Max Solbrekken, D.D.
"But
to us - CHRISTIANS -
there is but one God,
the Father, of Whom are all things, and we in Him: and one Lord Jesus
Christ, by Whom are all things, and we by Him."
(1 Cor.8:6)
Saul of
Tarsus met Jesus Christ on the Damascus Road on His way to kidnap
followers of Jesus of Nazareth and bring them back to Jerusalem in
chains, to be interrogated, scourged and killed if they would not
recant their belief in Yeshua ha Mashiach!
Nearing
Damascus with his team of kidnappers, Saul was thrown to the ground
by the appearance of Jesus the Risen Saviour, leaving him blinded and
soundly shaken, with the voice of our Lord ringing in his ears! (Acts
9:1-20)
He was
gloriously converted and filled the Holy Spirit and called by Jesus
Christ to carry His Gospel to the Gentile world! For about thirty
years St. Paul preached the Gospel of Christ and founded churches
across Asia Minor and Europe. He was persecuted, imprisoned,
scourged, stoned and finally martyred for the sake of the gospel
which he loved.
ST.
PAUL: APOSTLE, PASTOR
EVANGELIST,
CHURCH BUILDER!
St.
Paul was tutored personally by our Saviour in Arabia, and even taken
to Heaven to witness things that he was not allowed to reveal. No one
suffered as much for Jesus Christ and His Church as the previous
Jewish Enforcer! And no-one was given as much theological knowledge
as was Paul, 'the little one'!
It is
little wonder then that St. Paul, who founded the Church among the
Gentiles, would sound the alarm about the identity of the True God.
He was the man who corrected St. Peter, one of three leading elders
in the church in Jerusalem, because of his partiality in Antioch!
"For
He that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the
circumcision (Jews) ,
the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles. And when JAMES,
CEPHAS and JOHN,
who seemed to be PILLARS
perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave me and
Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go t
o the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
o the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
"But
when PETER was come to Antioch, I withstood
him to the face, because he was to be blamed."
(Gal.2: 8-14). St. Peter was a great Evangelist and St. James
was the Pastor of the Church in Jerusalem, but St.Paul laid the
foundation of Christ's Church among the Gentiles, built upon the Rock
Christ Jesus, the Church's one FOUNDATION and Chief Cornerstone!
(Isa.28:16;
Psa.118:22; 1 Peter 2: 5-7; Acts 4: 22; Eph.2:20)
THE CHURCH'S ONE
FOUNDATION!
St. Paul
said: "According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as
a wise Master Builder, I have laid the FOUNDATION, and
another builds thereon. But let every man take heed how he builds
thereon. For
other FOUNDATION can
no man lay than that is laid, which is JESUS
CHRIST.
"Now if any man build upon this
FOUNDATION gold,
silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble: Every man's work shall
be made manifest .... Know ye not that YE are
the Temple of God, and that the Spirit of God
dwells in you?" (1 Cor.3: 9-16)
St.
Paul states: "For this is good and
acceptable in the sight of GOD
our SAVIOUR; Who will
have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the
TRUTH. For there is
ONE GOD, and ONE
MEDIATOR between God and man
CHRIST JESUS, Who gave Himself a ransom for
all, to be testified in due time." (1
Tim.3: 3-6)
St.
Peter declared: "Be it known unto you all, and to all the people
of Israel, that by the name of JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH, Whom ye
crucified, Whom God raised from the dead, even by Him doth this man
stand here before you whole. This is the STONE which was set at
naught by you builders, which is become the Head of the Corner.
"Neither
is there Salvation in any other: for there is none other name under
Heaven given among men, whereby we must be SAVED, than the name of
JESUS." (Acts 4:10-12)
St.
Paul stated: "But to us -
CHRISTIANS - there is but
one God, the Father, of Whom are all things,
and we in Him: and one Lord Jesus Christ, by Whom are all things, and
we by Him."
(1 Cor.8:6)
In the
Divine Economy of God there is NO ROOM for counterfeits or
manufactured, man-made gods. The very first of the Ten
Commandments which Almighty God wrote with
His own finger on two tables of stone, warns: “Thou shalt have NO
other gods before Me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven
image... Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them...”
(Exodus 20:3-5)
There
is NO ROOM for pretenders and imitators like Zeus, Allah, Shiva, Gia,
Buddha, Thor, Mohammed, Vishnu and Confucius. Here is the bottom
Line:
Speaking
to the Samaritan woman, Jesus said: "Woman,
believe Me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain,
nor yet at Jerusalem , worship the Father. Ye worship ye know not
what: we know what we worship: for Salvation is of the Jews."
(John 4: 21,22)
Our
Lord said something very important. Salvation is not of the Arabs or
the Norwegians or the British or the Indians or the Africans or the
North Americans! Jesus Christ said, "Salvation
is of the Jews."
SALVATION
IS OF THE JEWS!
King
David
who was a prophet, stated: “As for God, His way is perfect: the
Word of the Lord is tried: He is a buckler to all that trust in Him.
For Who
is God save the Lord? Or Who is a Rock save our God? The LORD
liveth; and blessed be my Rock, and let the God of my salvation be
exalted.”
(Psalm 18: 30, 31)
“The
Lord of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.”
(Psalm 46: 7); “O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God
with the voice of triumph. For the Lord most High is terrible; He
is the great King over all the earth.”
(Psalm 47: 1,2)
“Great
is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the
mountain of His holiness. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the
whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of
the Great King.”
(Psalm 48: 1,2)
“Blessed
be the Lord God of Israel from Everlasting to everlasting; and let
all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the Lord.” (Psalm 106: 48)
JEHOVAH:
LORD GOD OF THE HEBREWS!
Who
is this Lord? To Whom is the prophet referring? Certainly not
non-entities like Zeus, Allah, Shiva, Vishnu, Confucius, Buddha,
Thor or Gia. He is referring to the ONE True and the Living God!
The
Word of God states: “That men may know that THOU, whose name alone
is JEHOVAH, art the Most High over all the earth.” (Psalm 83: 18);
The Jewish Race are God's Chosen people. Jesus
was born of a Jewish Virgin, whose name was Miriam. Jesus Christ was
TRUE God from Eternity and TRUE Man, born of the Virgin.
My
message to Jew haters who want to destroy God's Chosen people comes
from the ancient Hebrew prophet Jeremiah. He wrote the prescription
for destroying the Jewish people:
“Thus
saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day and the
ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which
divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; the Lord of Hosts is
His name”
“If
these ordinances depart before Me, saith the Lord, then the seed of
Israel shall cease being a nation before Me forever. Thus saith the
Lord; If Heaven above can be measured and the fountains of the earth
searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the SEED of ISRAEL,
for all that they have done, saith the Lord.”
(Jer. 31: 35-37)
ALL PAGANS: PLEASE LISTEN UP!
I
want all the Ayatollehs to understand: If you can TEAR DOWN the sun,
moon and stars from their orbits and ex-ray the entire earth, you
will be able to destroy the Jewish nation.
You will, however, all
end up like your hero, Adolph
Hitler
and his Third Reich
in the dustbin of history, which came to nothing! May God open your
eyes and may you cry out to Him for mercy, and Jesus Christ will save
you!
Jesus said something else that was also very
important: "But the hour cometh , and now
is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and
in truth: for He seeks such to worship Him. God is a Spirit: and
they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth."
(John 4: 23, 24)
Here,
Jesus spoke of three groups of worshippers: The First
group are like the Samaritans who did not know what they worshipped.
The Second
group were the Jews who had the Word of God and they did worship God.
Jesus said that the Third
group, however, were still to come.
After
His death and resurrection Jesus would ascend to Heaven and pour our
the Gift of the Holy Spirit upon His Church! This would be the group
that would be most acceptable to God. They would worship God in
Spirit and in Truth! (John
7: 37- 39). Amen
