Trace your God back to the origins of your faith

March 18, 2020 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

Have you ever traced back your God to the origins of your faith?  Have you tried to learn more about the founder of your faith… who he is, what was his life like?  Are you okay with the origins of your faith?

What does your religion do for you?  Does your religion satisfy you? Do you truly like the faith it teaches you about?  What kind of God do you esteem highly?

In Isaiah we read, “Come now, and let us reason together….” (Isaiah 1:18)  I will not denegrade you and your faith. (Well, maybe I do with evolution.  Sorry.)  Are you honest about your faith? Let’s be honest. Let’s reason, and compare your faith – with the God of the Bible.  Compare: Islam, Mormonism, Evolution – with Christianity.


Islam
The origins of your faith.
Have you taken an objective look, actually traced the origins of Islam, actually investigated the life of the prophet Mohammed?  Who was your founder – says a lot about your religion.  Take a look: Mohammed was an historical man.  When did he die?  See what researchers say about his life.

What kind of God do you esteem highly? What is Allah like – according to the Koran?

Mormonism
The origins of your faith.
Have you taken an objective look, actually traced the origins of Mormonism, actually investigated the life of the founder, Joseph Smith?  Know your founder – and you will learn a lot about your religion.

What kind of God do you esteem highly?  Why does Mormonism add to the Bible, and, have you closely examined the veracity of what Joseph Smith added?

Learn more about Mormons, what you believe as a Mormon, the history of the Mormon movement:

Learn More about Christianity.
What kind of God is the God of the Bible? I challenge you to research God – in the Bible itself: The God of the Bible.

How does the founder of your faith match-up with the founder of Christianity, Jesus Christ?

  • Jesus Predicted His Death and Resurrection
  • John 8: Jesus Himself Declared He Is God
  • Jesus declares He is God in 7 “I am” Statements

Christianity starts with the resurrection of the dead Christ, Jesus.  If he had not risen from the dead, there would not have been a following called Christianity.

Read this article from The John Ankerberg Show:  How Many People Saw Jesus Alive Again?  Christians base their faith on the belief Jesus physically and literally rose from the dead. But who were the people who saw Jesus alive again? How many people saw Him? To answer, we can look at…Read More…


What’ you got?  I’ve got real, actual, tangible, historical and scientific evidences for my faith in Jesus.

    • Things archeologists dug-up from the earth – like ancient scrolls, ancient cities
    • Things scientists have discovered with microscopes or telescopes – not seeable  by the naked eye

Jesus is by far
the most “evidentially-based”
religious leader
of all the religions on the planet!

Evolution
The religion of Evolution disallows a god. Have you traced Evolution back to it’s origens?  Evolution believes in “a slime creation”, an “irrational mechanism of chance”.

“When the non-Christian secularist is asked to give the basis and starting point for the orderly universe and external reality, he points literally to . . . nothing. All has risen from nothing by the irrational mechanism of chance.” – Defending the Faith: Approaching World Religions; by Dr. Kenneth Gentry, Jr. on January 6, 2017

As an evolutionist, you believe in what?  A “Nothing.”  That “nothing” somehow popped into existence somewhere by chance, and …poof, life was started eventually in some dark slime swamp.  From nothing, by chance? You have no answer to: What was that “nothing“?

Christians believe in Creator God, the Almighty Creator who came to earth as a man – to save all those who would believe and follow Him in sincerity and truth.  And there are plenty of evidences.  That is who we start with in Christianity: The One and Only God who was before all else came into existence, and who created from “nothing”.

It all had to have started from “nothing”.  Evolution says that this “nothing” was what..? A big bang – of what? Life started in a slime swamp and then crawled out?  The slime got there – how?  See more: Answers in Genesis

Dawkins and Krauss seem to want to redesign the world and society for the rest of us according to their own vision, making certain that God is written out of the picture.

Bentley – News on Todd Bentley

The charismatic movement has been troubled by unbiblical practices and teachings. I am amazed at how folks are so easily mislead. “Many have exchanged the truth for a lie and chosen experience over content.” Look and examine and see, and compare with what the Bible teaches.

False Prophets

“You may be asking yourselves, “How can we tell if a prophet’s message really comes from the Lord?”” -Deuteronomy 18:21. How can we distinguish the true from the false?

No Faith In Heaven

Faith will not be necessary in heaven. Faith and hope will be ¨done away¨with (1 Corinthians 13:v8). When we finally are brought into His Kingdom, instead of on this earth with His Holy Spirit, then we will have Him, not just merely faith and hope.

Christian Answers Regarding Islam

Christian Answers Regarding Islam 1. The Koran purports it does not contradict the Bible but supports it. The Koran declares that it was written to confirm the previous revelations and not to replace the Bible according to Sura 5:48 which says, “And We have sent down to you the Scripture with truth, authenticating what is […]

Biblical Homosexuality

…a Christian´s Perspective on Homosexuality Quoted from: http://www.indegayforum.org/news/show/31489.html   Donny | April 18, 2008, 11:33am | # I’m up to the challenge of gay theology questions: In-hospitality towards others and “haughtiness” were the sins of Sodom. But Ezekiel is quite explicit about sexual sins being front and center as well. “Haughtiness” and the word “Gay” […]

Inexplicable Joy

Heaven is a joyful place. That is hard for me to imagine… Everywhere I look around me, I see so many problems, issues and unresolved conflicts. But in heaven, they won’t exist anymore. There will only be joy because my sins have been paid for by the blood of Jesus Christ.  One of the main things that describes being in heaven is JOY. The word “joy” has a much deeper meaning than just happiness. To be happy can change so quickly. It can come and go in a moment. But joy…

Letter to Danny

We are continually bombarded by the fiery darts of the Evil One.  And when these little pricks hit us, we need to put-out the flames, quickly. Doubts, depression, feelings of inadequacy, troubles, unruly kids…, when they come at us, we “have to declare” the truths of God, and  we have to choose Truth over lies. 

Children’s Bible in a Nutshell

About Biblical Inerrancy

…would God give us erroneous documents and call them “His”? Get real! Is God really going to give us the ‘truth’ …that isn’t!? The fact that Jesus “the Christ” fulfilled over 360 Scriptural prophecies – convinces me of the veracity of Scripture. Look at the evidences. Forget the critics! What about you?   Are you […]

Oh what a day that will be!  Wow! To enter into the Kingdom of God - freely as His redeemed child. No cringing in shame, no burden of sinfulness before Almight Holy God. I can only imagine.

Jesus, the second man, is the Lord from Heaven
"The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.” In 1 Corinthians 15:47 the Apostle Paul explained that Jesus, while on earth, was absolutely God-man.  He was not a mere man, ever.

There Is Only One God
Getting tired of people flippantly saying, ¨Oh my god!¨ Ever wonder who their ¨god¨ is!? Does that ¨god¨ know he is ¨theirs¨? Do you say that? We are quite the god-makers, are we not! What do you mean…“your God”?

God Is Not Distant
God is not some far away, distant-from-you, dis-concerned bubble of energy, inside some aura of mist on a mysterious planet far far away…. “And the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore” –Psalm 121:8 

Yeah, What he said!

Opinion's are sometimes worth your time. Here are some. I will be adding more periodically.

Lost I Came To Him Oh the wonder of that love of our fathomless Creator, to save me in spite of my self-centered soul. Lost and rebellious, He chose me. Pursued and wooed, what mystery – grace. I said yes to Creator God. To know…
Time as it really is Since Heaven is not regulated by time, the passage of time on earth is a separate event. *We will all step out of time together – into God’s presence, with no “time lag”,…The time it takes to go from earth to God's presence - is instant. There is no waiting around in the next dimension for earth time to finish, no midway point of gathering, no Purgatory. It will be an instantaneous experience for all mankind that ever lived. At the moment of death, our soul instantly leaves....

No Tolerance for Error
God is not sloppy nor wishy-washy.... There is no room at all – for error – when it comes to being right with God. You are either all in, or you are all out. Are you sure you’re in?

Simple View of Life  a simple view of everything. God of Everything that is – created everything. We are very fortunate that He is loving and kind, and really, really wants us.
Ashamed of Yourself?
Ever done something you are ashamed of?  Come on now, you’re sitting there by yourself – ‘fess-up.  Nobody listenin’ to your brain confess.  So... Yes?  Scenario: “You have? What!?
Being Christian What's it like these days to be a Christian? Really a Christian. For many, what the Bible teaches is generally okay, but, when it comes to certain specificities, what it says, they reason, needs to be interpreted in the light of today's enlightened realities. But -- will that work in - The End - when we stand before Him, physically? Stop and think about that Day.
Tomorrow
Tomorrow is the fool’s day. Tomorrow may never come. I may not get older. This may be it. 3.18.2017
Vortex of Good & Evil As mere humans, we are engulfed in the vortex of battle between good and evil. We must remember – it is God who created us, not we ourselves.  1.25.2017
What God has going on with us here on this planet.
God downloaded to earth ...inserted Himself into our history.  Jesus came to earth in order to satisfy the Courts of Heaven for our freedom. 3.23.2016

Cognitive Dissonance
...that extreme feeling of discomfort some folks get when their core belief is challenged or contradicted. What they think (“cognitive”) is rattled (dissonance) by what other evidences purport to be true – in direct conflict with what they hold to be “true”.  8.14.2018
Actually Try To Do The Deed 3.23.2016   “It’s not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better."

What God Did for Man
…The Simple Gospel of Jesus Christ. God walked the earth as a man. Have you ever wondered how it all got started – the universe, the earth, nature, animals, you and your “like”, mankind? 2.19.2018
The Bible is “able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation”
Do you honestly want to know how to get right with God?  Jesus promised He would save us for an eternity of only good, nothing bad. 9.31.2020

Waiting for it

I’m sure that, in the past, you have waited. * Remember waiting for Christmas morning?  How exciting that was. Before Christmas I was so excited, full of anticipation.  I so much wanted to open my Christmas gifts right now.  But I had to wait for Christmas morning. * Remember waiting for Friday night?  I had […]

How do I get to Heaven?

So you want to go to Heaven. Jesus promised Heaven for those who follow Him.  He does not include anyone else in His promise.  Other religions make promises they can never keep.  Do you want to entrust your eternity into the hands of puny humans? Only Jesus saves.

Want to be wise?

Still think you are smarter than the rest, that your way is the right way? Have you considered that God might be smarter?

Why “the end” Jesus foretold is now

Today is different from other centuries when Christians mistakenly thought “the end times” had come.  These are very different days.  Jesus predicted “the end” (Matthew 24), and we are in them. Men of old never saw the prophecies fulfilled and the signs that we are seeing.  Never had them, never saw them.  It was beyond their ability to know Scripture as we do now… because the events of prophecy were still future.
