Truth That Changes Lives on Oneplace.com

In 1 Corinthians chapter 6 the apostle Paul is talking about God's call to moral purity and why God wants us to reserve sex for marriage and the signifigance of the marriage act. And he says, "Don't you realize that God's purpose was this; that a man would leave his father and mother and be united to his wife and the two would become one flesh!"

Sometimes what God has for us is not what we would choose for ourselves! Sometimes it's better than anything we can imagine and sometimes it's harder than anything we can imagine!

When you felt guilty, you felt like that's how God wanted you to feel! You know, nothing could be further from the truth! God doesn't want us to feel guilty, in fact, He wants to take away our guilt! God doesnt want us to feel shame, He wants to take away our shame! God doesn't want us to feel condemned, He wants us to feel confident!

The Bible says that we're to seek and when we seek we find! Having questions, asking questions of God is a positive thing! God invites us to pursue Him if we're curious!

Sixty-six books, forty authors, fifteen hundred years, three languages, three continents, different life situations, different backgrounds of the authors writing on a whole variety of controversial issues. You know what you would expect to find, a whole conglomeration of opinion and ideas! But instead what you find is a unified truth from Genesis to Revelation! A consistency on every issue that is dealt with. The Bible is unique!

Jesus connected truth with life change! Jesus connected truth with life transformation! Now all of a sudden this discussion of truth becomes interesting to me!

This passage says, I'm not ashamed of the gospel. Good grief, this is the greatest message that has ever been given. This is a message that will set you free. This is a message that will forgive your sins. This is a message that will give you hope. This is a message that will take you out of darkness and bring you into light. This is a message that can turn everything around.

So whether you are asking about the person who's off in the jungle or the person who's off in the dessert, the question is still the same; what is God's response to that person who never heard the message of the gospel?

Why is Jesus the only way? All religions, are they the same? No! Well then how can God reject or condemn someone who is sincere in their beleif in another religion?

The scripture says this in 1 Peter chapter 3, "Sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts always being ready to make a defense to anyone who asks you to give an account of the hope that's in you." If you're here and you're committed, people are going to be asking you these questions. So I am hoping to give you some information that will equip you to be able to answer questions!
