This is how disciples of Jesus are called to serve…..

When you ask questions the Bible is not asking, you will ALWAYS get the wrong answer.

When I was teaching the fifth graders in “Upstreet” at Mosaic Christian church in Elkridge, Maryland one Sunday, I asked, “Was Jesus a Christian?” The answer was a unanimous, “Yes”. I then said, “Actually? He wasn’t.” Boy! Was there serious confusion in that room….. “Jesus was Jewish”, I continued, and then went on to explain how we are beneficiaries of God’s plan of Salvation that was first promised to Abraham.
The best part about teaching children? Their lack of pride, ego, and self-importance.

Let’s start with this fact about the Bible….. it is, primarily, a Jewish Book, written by thirty nine Jewish men ( there were a total of forty Authors of the Old and New Testament, Luke was the only non-Jewish author. He wrote the biography of Jesus called “Luke”, and the history of the very first community of Christ followers, post Jesus’ resurrection, called, “Acts of the apostles”, better known as “Acts” ), about the Jewish Messiah ( Christ, in Koine Greek, the original language of the New Testament )…..

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1 as recorded by Moses the first leader of the Nation of Israel.
“In the beginning”, the advent of time. “The heavens”, the advent of space. “The earth”, the creation of width and matter. Time, Space, Width, and Matter, are the foundations of Science. They are also the components of the four dimensional Universe created by God. Anyone, I repeat, anyone, who claims that “God and Science don’t mix”….. is grossly in error. God CREATED Science.
