Day 63 - 2 John

66-DAY JOURNEY OF THE BIBLE

Day 63 - 2 John (Do You Believe Jesus Lived and Died as the Bible Says He Did?)

(to check out past posts, click: tonyvicreyes.blogspot.com )

“For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.  Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.  Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son.”  (2 John 7-9)

There is not a lack of literature and programs on the mass media refuting and denying that Jesus actually lived and died in the flesh.  The apostle John in our text above gives a grave warning to those who deny that Jesus lived and dies in the flesh.  

The Bible does not issue a threat of hell and damnation in order to scare people into believing in God.  It does so because to deny the truth without carefully weighing the evidence supporting the truth is a blatant disregard and insult to God.  That is the underlying reason for the warnings of damnation and judgment by God in Scripture.

To put it in everyday simple terms, any good parent who warns his two-year old child not to touch the hot pot for risk of getting burned does not do so because he enjoys threatening his child.  Obviuosly, he issues the warning out of love and concern for his child in case the child decides not to believe the truth.

Before you side with the mainstream in society who wants nothing more than to convince everyone in the world that Jesus either did not exist or was simply a man and not God, I challenge you to carefully consider the abundance of evidence supporting the claims of the Bible the Jesus Christ lived and died in the flesh and rose again to prove that He was God Himself.
