Trump's deal of the century has raised many kinds of thoughts and opinions. The Bible, the word of God is against Trump's deal. More info behind the link: http://www.kotipetripaavola.com/trumpdealofthecenturyandthedeception.html

Loren Cunningham founded Youth With A Mission in 1960, and at first YWAM equipped young people to serve God and sent them to mission trips. YWAM has been very committed to preach the salvation gospel. In the work of YWAM have been countless servants of God, who have dedicated their hearts to the Lord, and their work in the Lord has produced good fruits by the grace of God. We are living in the end times, and the Lord Jesus said that in the last days there are less those believers, who believe in Jesus as the Bible says, and there are less those believers who are obedient to Jesus. Youth With A Mission has not been spared from the winds of apostasy, and it is very awkward that this wind of apostasy has shaken the heart of Loren Cunningham. Please study and test my writing with the word of God and prayer. More info: http://www.kotipetripaavola.com/youthwithamissionandcatholism.html

In this meeting president Rivlin said Israel wants to share land, in order to find a path that would lead them into a peaceful co-existence with the Palestinians. On the same day, Thursday, October 3, 2019, Cardinal Sandri also met with Sheikh Mohammad Azzam Al-Khatib Al-Tamimi, leader of a religious Islamic organization and Al-Aqsa mosque, in Jerusalem. The Muslim Sheikh said the Jews do not have a right to be in the sacred places of Jerusalem. After hearing this, the Catholic Cardinal and another representative of the church stayed silent and neither commented on the Sheikh’s statement. The heavens did not stay silent and Rivlin and the Sheikh’s speeches were not accepted. This is testified by the sudden heavy rain, hail -and thunderstorm that hit Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria area on Saturday, October 5, 2019, which is only two days after Rivlin and the Sheikh had spoken against the word of God (the Bible).

Rabbi Naphtali “Tuly” Weisz has founded Israel365 as purpose to connect Christians with the Land and the People of Israel. Tuly is also the editor of The Israel Bible and publisher of Breaking Israel News. Rabbi Tuly has said that he loves and appreciate to discuss with people. Therefore, I send my question to him openly and publicly. My question is very important concerning the location of Jerusalem's temple. My question: http://www.kotipetripaavola.com/myquestiontorabbituly.html

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x34M3rKPQlQ By studying the Bible, we come to realize that it was the Romans' Antonia Fortress, which was located at the top of the Temple Mount, and the Temple in Jerusalem was situated lower on the side of the mountain.

http://www.kotipetripaavola.com/antoniafortressandjerusalemtemple.html The tradition teaches that the Temple in Jerusalem was located at the top of the Temple Mount and that the Romans' Antonia Fortress was only a small addition next to the Temple. By studying the Bible and the texts of Josephus the historian, we come to realize that it was the Romans' Antonia Fortress, which was located at the top of the Temple Mount, and the Temple in Jerusalem was situated lower on the side of the mountain.

I've been following media for a long time and I have come to the conclusion that especially reporters with an atheistic worldview (not all) often write news having to do with the Bible, giving a false idea of the Bible as if it would condone all kinds of perversions and wrongdoings. The reporter's motive to write this type of article comes from the desire to twist things and to hit and badmouth Christians and the teachings of the Bible. By this, I don't mean to say all news is pointless, of course, there are meaningful news also, but the number of pointless news is increasing all the time. Because there are many reporters out there using the media to give a totally false impression of the Bible, I will bring forth the true nature of the Bible, which is one and the same with the nature of God.

Salvation in the Lord Jesus and fellowship with God is the true meaning of life.

When Jesus had risen from the dead, His burial clothes (othonion, plural) were found in the grave, as well as the face-cloth (a napkin) for covering His face. The number of clothes in Jesus' grave was not one (sindon- Turin Shroud), but there were clothes there (othonion, plural), which was the Jewish custom - and which is proven true by the gospel of John. The gospel of John also proves that Jesus was buried in several separate burial clothes, not in one large linen cloth. Chapter 24 of the gospel of Luke confirms that several separate burial clothes were found in Jesus' grave, not one large cloth. When we study the Word of God, we can see that the Turin Shroud story is refuted by the Word of God, and the Word of God proves that the Turin Shroud story is a lie.

The deceived and the deceiver! Why should we address these matters and write about them? The Lord Jesus told us to beware of deceivers and false prophets in the last days. That is why we, too, must address these matters and write about them, while keeping in mind that we need to address the matters in a loving, gentle way, highlighting Bible truth and glorifying the Lord Jesus. The Bible also says that in the final days of the end of days, many Christians will give up Bible truth and, in their apostasy, they will start following demonic spirits and doctrines of demons, while still thinking that they believe in Jesus even though they have given up the truth and exchanged the truth for lies. That is why we, too, must address these matters so that we would not get lost and so that those who have gotten lost would be able to repent and again believe in Jesus in accordance with what the Bible teaches.

Different faith communities, denominations and churches teach various ways about the grace of God. Some of the teachings are Biblical and some quite unbiblical. Grace of God is one of the most essential teachings of the Bible and therefore it is important to understand what the Bible teaches about the grace of God. I will try to go through what the Bible says about the grace of God. My article does not cover everything about God's grace, but deals with it from a few important angles.

Many believers ask why God does not help them, and why everything always goes wrong. "Does not God love me?" They ask. When we read the Bible and delve into the different stages of the people of Israel in God's history of salvation during the Old Covenant, we can see the reason for and consequences of the people of Israel have to suffer the consequences of their actions due to the rebellion of sin, or fail to understand because of sin. God loves and helps His people, but does not support sin, murmuring and rebellion. The Bible says that God has promised to help those who believe in Him and who, in their distress, cry for (ask for) God to help them, and God has promised to help them (wants to help them), but believers must honor God so that God can help them. The Bible says that God dwells among the gratitude shown to Him by his people (inhabit the praises of Israel - His people). More info: http://www.kotipetripaavola.com/godgoodcareofus.html

The Lord Jesus said that in the Last Days, false prophets will rise to deceive - if possible - the very elect. We are living in dangerous times, and if we refuse to test and examine the foundations of our faith through Bible truth, we are running a great risk of being entangled in treacherous deception.

The link works.

At the moment, too many believers are deep in their slumber and they do not really care what the Bible actually teaches, but they stubbornly hold on to traditions or false teachings which are based on lies. The Bible has a serious message about the apostasy in the church in the last days before the return of Jesus, but those whose faith is not sound do not hear or see and do not even want to understand how serious a matter the apostasy in the last days is. The present text is a wake-up call and a friendly way to make you stop and think, the purpose of the text is to wake up those who are wandering in spiritual darkness and to repent and to believe in the Lord Jesus as the Bible teaches. A further purpose of the text is to prevent the Lord's own to becoming entangled in the satanic deceptions of the last days and to make us be rooted in the Lord Jesus and Biblical truth in the Holy Spirit. The faith of many may have started off in a genuine, right way, but when they have stopped holding on to Bible truth along the way, their faith has become invaded by unhealthy elements which they have started to consider to be Biblical because they have believed lies that distort the truth. The primary purpose of the present text is not to highlight deception, but Bible truth. Because I am an imperfect person who makes mistakes, I advise you to compare the present text to Bible truth while spending time in prayer.

I followed on the Media, for several months America's presidential election campaign and things that were related to it. If I would be American, so I wouldn't vote neither Trump or Clinton, because they both have done things that are against my moral values. I wrote about my observations why America's Media favorite Hillary Clinton lost the election. The thoughts are mine and you can agree or disagree with me.

How can we, disciples of the Lord Jesus, learn to make a distinction and discernment between the truth and a lie? The Lord Jesus said that we will get lost if we are not familiar with Scripture (the Bible) and the power of God (the Holy Spirit). The Lord Jesus said that we are to believe in Him in accordance with the Bible. This means that we can only learn to make a distinction and discernment between the truth and a lie when we agree to walk in the Holy Spirit and believe in the Lord Jesus in accordance with the Bible. In the present text, I will address some Bible passages which are subject to misunderstanding and false teaching. When we carefully study the passages and compare them to what the rest of the Bible teaches, we will clearly see the distinction between the truth and a lie.

The archaeological finding reveals that Balaam worshipped a sun god called Shamash. Gilgamesh, a book from Babylon, covers the blessing of Shamash. The word “Shamash” means “the Sun”. There have been arguments for and against in regard to whether the above text is about Shamash or not. However, the finding is clearly linked to the sun god who was to shut out light by means of darkness. The finding tells us that Balaam was the son of Peor who worshipped idols. The Bible says that Balaam was the son of Peor who led the people of Israel to worship the idols of the Moabites who worshipped the sun. Both the above finding and the Bible show that Balaam engaged in sun worship. In Revelation, Lord Jesus considers the works of the Nicolaitans to be equal with the doctrine of Balaam so we can also say that the doctrine of the Nicolaitans included sun worship as well as physical and spiritual fornication. The Roman Catholic Church has inherited the Babylonian religion, and the church openly shows emblems and symbols related to sun worship. St. Peter’s square in the Vatican has a large, eight-spoked sun wheel which is a pagan symbol. In the centre of the wheel, there is a large obelisk which Caesar Caligula brought from Heliopolis to Rome. Obelisks were also used in sun worship. In the middle of St. Peter’s square, there also is a small four-spoked sun wheel which is of the same shape and type as an altar of stone, depicting Hasor, in the temple of Baal. Shamash was a Mesopotamian sun god who was worshipped in Accadia, Assyria and Babylon. This cult of sun worship included the sacrificing of drinks to an idol called Shamash. In the Eucharist (Holy Communion) of the Roman Catholic Church, the attendees carry a symbol of the Sun and again and again sacrifice Jesus in the sacrifice of wine and bread. The Babylonian sun god cult also included priests who reigned over the people through religion and made them subordinate through it. The Catholic church teaches that its priests work through the sacrament of matrimony in the person of Christ, which means that according to the doctrine of the Catholic church, Catholic priests have the authority to operate in the power and person of Christ Himself (Catholic Catechism 1548, 1563). The word “Nicolaitan” gives us a hint of there being - among the Nicolaitans - a doctrine and the idea of leadership through which the church was made subordinate and were forced to accept the teachings of the leaders. The Greek word nikolaites (Nicolaite) means: “one that reigns over people, conqueror of the people, destroyer of people and one that subdues people. The word nikolaites is from nikos (“victory”, “to be victorious” and laos (“people”). Based on everything stated above, we can say that the Nicolaitans engaged in sun worship, and their leaders reigned over and forced the church to share the beliefs of the leaders and to believe in their teachings. 1 Pet 5: 1 ¶ The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: 2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; 3 Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. 4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. The Bible teaches us that church leaders, i.e. elders, shall not reign over the church as lords. In addition, the Bible says that we should examine everything which also means that the church shall examine the teachings of church leaders by comparing them to the Bible. Reigning over churches through one or more leaders is not right as it leads the church away from being subordinate to the chief Shepherd, i.e. Lord Jesus, to be subordinate to men and to be under the dominion of men. Lord Jesus hated the works of the Nicolaitans because they taught the doctrines of Balaam (sun worship, physical and spiritual fornication) and took the place of the chief Shepherd (Lord Jesus) by themselves leading the church, controlling and reigning over the church. The Nicolaitans also engaged in false priesthood and leadership, which is the most clearly shown in the Roman Catholic Church, but it also has an impact among believers where one man leads the church and is higher than the elders. In that way, one man takes the place of the chief Shepherd (Lord Jesus). The works and doctrines of the Nicolaitans are based in the satanic Babylonian religion which Lord Jesus hates because it is the mother of all religions and deceptions.

God, let John the Apostle see the revelation of the Lord Jesus; the revelation is written in the Book of Revelation in the Bible. In the revelation, Lord Jesus addresses the Nicolaitans, among others, and Nicolaitans' works - which He hates. In the Book of Revelation, we can read what were the Nicolaitans' works and doctrines which Lord Jesus hates. This topic is extremely important, and we should understand it, and we should stick to the truth in regard to this topic and reject the works and doctrines of the Nicolaitans because some of their doctrines still prevail among Christianity.

Some people who uphold the kenosis doctrine say that when Jesus said the Son can do nothing of himself, so it is the proof that the kenosis doctrine is Biblical and correct. When we study the Bible, we see that the aforesaid thing is not true. John 5: 15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole. 16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day. 17 ¶ But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. 18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. 19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. The Lord Jesus healed a man on the Sabbath day. The Jews persecuted Jesus, because He had healed a man on the Sabbath day. The Lord Jesus did not say that He healed this man being himself as the man or that He was not God when He healed this man. The Lord Jesus said, My Father works till now, and I work. The Lord Jesus meant that like the Father is doing His works, so also the Son (Jesus) is doing His (the Son) works like the Father works. In other words, the Lord Jesus meant that He is God, who is doing the works of God. The Jews understood this matter exactly in that way that Jesus made Himself as God and broke the Sabbath. Jesus didn't break the Sabbath. The words of Jesus that He can do nothing Himself, but what He sees the Father do, for what things soever He does, these also does the Son likewise means that Jesus is doing the will of His Father, but not that Jesus Himself is unable to make miracles. The Lord Jesus said the He make the things that the Father is doing. The Lord Jesus did everything by Himself, but not against the will of His Father. When the Bible speaks about the will of God, so it means that Jesus as God has the same will as His Father has. When you understand this so you understand that Jesus' words the Son can do nothing Himself, but what He sees the Father do, means that Jesus doesn't do anything against the will of His Father, and all what Jesus did, He did it as God and He has the same will as His Father has. When the Bible says that Jesus emptied (kenoo) Himself and took on him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men, and being found in fashion as a man, so it means that Jesus voluntarily went away from the glory of God's kingdom and came to be God in the fashion of a man on the earth to atone sins of the mankind. When Jesus emptied Himself, He didn't give up from His Deity, but that God became as the flesh, in other words as a man. The Kenosis doctrine is a heresy, because Jesus is in all situations God who visited on the earth in a fashion of a man.

The kenosis (kenotic) heresy leads people to the same trap which took place in Paradise when satan lied to Eve and Adam. The evil satan tempted them to commit sin, promising them that if she would eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, they would know good and evil like God. Adam and Eve did not understand good and evil like God, from the Divine perspective, but from the human perspective. Throughout the history of man, evil satan has tried to deceive people by promising them that they would be God if only they abide by the will of satan. Of course, evil satan does not introduce himself as satan when he tries to lure people into aiming for divinity, but he lies to them, masquerading as a good angel, a spirit guide, the Holy Spirit, or God.
