deep issues

The recent events in Malatya have stirred up a lot of
conversation about issues that have been present ever
since the first man was created.
Three Christian missionaries, two of them Turkish,
one German, were savagely murdered by young Muslim
fanatics who according to their own words did it in defense
of their country and religion. Strong emotions are being
expressed in the midst of a lot of political and religious
hypocrisy.
Insecure religion acts out of inferiority complex.
Indeed, a god who needs people to defend him is a very weak
and unprofessional creator. The attempt to defend “turkishness”
ends up with an other bad advertisement for this confused
and needy nation.
God wants truth to the uttermost. Psalm 51:6
Superficial truths and theories are destined to turn against
themselves. The wounds are deep and cannot be healed
slightly. Jer.8:10-11
If you put the facades of all religions next to one another,
they make a nice wall. It looks like they compliment one
another in nice harmony.
If you dig a little bit deeper and check the foundation of these
facades, you’ll be surprised to see how few of them go so
deep that you cannot find the bottom.
The Bible says, all ( disregard of their religious tradition)
have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Rm.3:23
Everybody needs grace, God’s undeserved favor, in order
to be saved. There is no other way. All other comparison
is a dead end street.
Even the truth can look dirty in the hands of a dirty man.
Even a lie looks attractive and clean in the hands of a “clean”
man.
“Let no one deceive you with empty words.” Eph. 5:6
“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God;
and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.”
I John 4:7-8
