Being Berean: Various Subjects and
The Bible's Answers
The Berean's heard Paul and Silas preaching
in the synagogue, and they were commended for listening and searching the
scripture as to whether or not the things that they had heard were true.
(Acts 17:10-11)
With that scripture in mind, there are many things that Christian's do that
don't always line up with the Bible. It is the responsibility of every Christian
to see if what they are doing is glorifying to God, so if a Christian who is
honestly mistaken hears the truth, they will either quit being mistaken or cease
to be honest!
And since most "Christians" react with hostility to
information that contradicts what they know to be true. It is our hope that you
would re-examine your assumptions of truth through the clear lens of a sincere
Biblical analysis. One of
the most wonderful aspects of the Good News is the fact that “God
is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap”.
(Galatians 6:7)
The truth is, the Strong Delusion
the LORD promised he would bring is closely related to the lies that have been
told – and God warned them that “I
will choose their delusion”
Isaiah 66:4, “…because
they received not the love of the truth…”
II Thessalonians 2:10

"the rest of the story".
Too many Christians are enthusiastically
celebrating pagan holidays, thinking they are Christian. Once you understand how
very pagan America and the rest of the Western world has become, you can see how
God's judgment cannot be far behind. Our holidays have been copied from paganism
and simply given Christian names. You will be shocked to realize how very pagan
our annual celebrations are and how most of the symbols used in our holidays
originated within paganism.

had this problem began getting results.
The tattoo epidemic is not only sweeping over
the unsaved people in the world but is also making great inroads into the Church
of Jesus Christ. Tattoos represent two things, rebellion against God, and
conformity to the masses in the world. God has clearly stated in his Word that
men and women are not to mutilate the skin of their bodies (Leviticus 19:28).
Demon oppressed Christians try to eliminate verse 28 by incorrectly quoting the
previous verse which says you are not supposed to trim your hair or beard. Verse
27 correctly applied refers to men and women adorning themselves for occult
rituals, this is not the same as someone merely getting a haircut or shaving off
his beard. Tattoos and body piercing are now preparing people for the mark of
the Beast (Revelation 13:16-18, 14:9-12).
