But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying,  Joseph , thou son of  David , fear not to take unto thee  Mary  thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. The Bible says that Mary was engaged to Joseph. At that time, an engagement was like a marriage and was legally binding. That is, the engagement was a de facto marriage that could never be broken except for adultery. That is why Joseph and Mary are introduced in the Bib...

  Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness   http://m.cafe.daum.net/oldnewman135/ri3R?boardType=   Matthew 6:31-34 『 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?   (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.   But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.   Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. 』 The Bible says about anxiety and fear. It is a sin to be judged to be afraid. But we are afraid of God and should not be afraid of the world. In the book of Revelation it is said that those who fear the world go into the lake of fire. Revelation 21:8 『 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and ...

  Gnostic Ideas Into Christianity   Gnosticism is called Gnosticism (Nastism in English). Gnosis is a Greek word meaning mystical, revelatory, high knowledge, or enlightenment. The word Gnostic means spiritual knowledge, According to Wikipedia, “ Gnosticism is a collection of religious ideas and systems which coalesced in the late 1st century AD among Jewish and early Christian sects. These various groups emphasized personal spiritual knowledge (gnosis) above the orthodox teachings, traditions, and authority of religious institutions. Viewing material existence as flawed or evil, Gnostic cosmogony generally presents a distinction between a supreme, hidden God and a malevolent lesser divinity (sometimes associated with the Yahweh of the Old Testament) who is responsible for creating the material universe. Gnostics considered the principal element of salvation to be direct knowledge of the supreme divinity in the form of mystical or esoteric insight. Many Gnostic texts d...

In Matthew 24:2-3, “ And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? While talking to his disciples, Jesus said that the temple would be destroyed. However, the disciple asked when this would happen, and what would be the sign of the end of the world. The subject Jesus was talking about was the story of the temple. The temple means the temple in Jerusalem in the Old Testament times and the temple in the hearts of the saints with the Holy Spirit in the New Testament. When the saints gather in a chapel, it is sometimes called a church. However, the church building itself is not referred to as a temple. Because the temple building collapses (Jesus died on the cross), and the resurr...

  Those who seek the Garden of Eden in the world   Genesis 2:8-9 『 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. East (Hebrew: kedem) means “ east ” and “ beginning ” . There are examples where the word ketem is used. In Psalm 55:10, “ Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it. ” In addition, Psalm 68:33, Psalm 78:2, Proverbs 8:22 In verse 23, the word “ beginning, long ago ” is used together with the Hebrew word for east (kedem). Therefore, East should be interpreted as meaning 『 beginning 』 , because it tells the story of the time of the creation of the world. The Hebrew word “ Eden ” also has the meaning of ancient times. In the garden, the mountain m...

  Those who say they believe in Jesus but do not have the fragrance of Christ   2 Corinthians 2:14-17 『 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:To the one we are the save of death unto death; and to the other the save of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things? For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ. The fragrance of Christ means the death of Jesus Christ who died on the cross. So, those who died with Jesus will be resurrected to new life together. Many church people misunderstand the fragrance of Christ as living holy, living by good deeds, and thoroughly keeping the commandments of God's Word. Those who say this are confusing the words of the Bible. But the fragrance of Chr...
