Anyone watching the History Channel series?
Just saying
He didnt say existence
I took his meaning how would you recognize a supernatural deity
I dont know either
But I feel it would manifest obviously and have me on my knees or belly in submission
Sure wouldnt be a handshake or slap on the back
It would be awe exponential.....proper
Followed by immense appreciation
Am I wrong or is it my fire and brimstone upbringing on that church pew every Sunday morning and Wednesday nite
Canada has rurnt you......
Freepers dont go to the History Channel for Christ
First sentence was just teasing u
I think the answer to the conundrum is something like this:
the world can look and look and look at Christ all day and all night, all year and all decade, etc., and will not recognize Him as long as it remains the world and does not begin to undergo transformation.
As soon as I saw the program was being done under the auspices of the History Channel, I opted out.
Jmouse makes perfect sense.
Romans 3:11 no one understands; no one seeks for God.
Matthew 7:23 And then will I declare to them, I never knew you;
Ephesians 4:18 being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart;
And to add to what you said already:
1 Corinthians 1:20-21 New King James Version
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.
A knowledge of scripture and willingness to compare Olstein’s work to it is not “negativity.”
I think it’s neat. You don’t hear that much about god anymore
Watched it,was very saddened.Olsteen needs to read the word of God.Stop trying to make Joseph the BEST JOSEPH he can be!,The best JOHN he can be,and definatly stop making Jesus the best JESUS he can be.
EXACTLY!! I won’t be watching.
Am I wrong?
Not in my book. Sounds pretty right.
The radio promos start with someone telling Mary that the baby in her womb would grow to become "the greatest of all men". It's then that I turn off the radio and become saddened for all who hear this and are guided by it. He didn't don flesh to become "great". He came to do his Father's will and show us what a life totally surrendered to it looks like.
The world doesn't embrace David Jeremiah, John MacArthur or Franklin Graham the way it embraces Joel Osteen. That alone should tell you all you need to know.
"Before Abraham was, I Am" - He has existed since before time began, He is eternal.
They talk like He's just some guy. A very smart, very moral guy. But just a guy.
Joel Olsteen? I guess new age Oprah was too busy?
The "jesus" of the History Channel is decidedly not the Lord Jesus Christ who is = Almighty God, God the Son, the second person of the Holy Trinity, THE ONLY SAVIOR, THE ONE and ONLY WAY, to get to heaven and to God the Father, THE ONLY TRUTH, THE RESURRECTION and THE ONLY LIFE, THE ONE, and ONLY ALL-SUFFICIENT SACRIFICE FOR SIN, THE KING OF ALL KINGS and LORD OF ALL LORDS before whom "EVERY KNEE shall bow, and EVERY TONGUE confess that Jesus Christ is LORD, to the glory of God the Father".
That is just a small taste of who the Lord Jesus Christ is.
The History Channel will never, ever state, proclaim or openly acknowledge that He is any of the above. It cannot and will not because it is ultimately controlled and run by spiritually lost, blind, godless, demon dominated men who do not know God, but are a part of the Satanic world system that is in open rebellion against Him. Hence, the "jesus" they present is not the Lord Jesus Christ of the Bible.
Unfortunately multitudes are spiritually blind, dead and totally incapable of grasping their spiritual condition, or that of the Satanically dominated "world" in which we live. Hence, my words and position, though biblical are viewed as "insensitive","unreasonable" and "intolerant". But that is ok, I stand by everything I said.

1 Timothy 2:5
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
1 Timothy 1:4
Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
2 Timothy 3:1-3
3 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
Matthew 15:14
Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
I assume from context (I won't watch the program) that that's supposed to be the Archangel Gabriel. But that's not what Gabriel actually said. Calling Jesus "the greatest of all men" is more heretical even than Arianism. Jesus is God incarnate, the second person of the Blessed Trinity. To make him anything less isn't Christianity, sorry.
“I would expect them to show experts debunking Christian mythology.
You should have seen the one on the Science channel the other day about how Mary Magdalene was the “real deal”, performing magical healings, and Jesus was just her boyfriend. They gave Him some credit because He was male and that’s just the way things were done then...etc, etc. I could not bring myself to finish it.
