http://koti.phnet.fi/petripaavola/Ecumenic...eit_of_the_Pope Ecumenical work is a very popular concept nowadays. What does this mean? In the Religious world it means that all religions can be one in a way that they can accept one another as ways to God. The Pope who is the principal head of the Catholic Church speaks on ecumenism as the visible unity of all churches and that all religions lead to God. The word ecumenism comes from the Greek word oikumene which means the inhabited earth or the world; during the time of the Roman Empire it meant all the subjects of the empire. However, Jesus Christ did not speak about ecumenism, but of unity between those believers who are born of the Spirit of God.

Status of woman in relation to teaching of the Bible is often distorted and often man distort status of woman and try to submit woman through teaching of the Bible, even though the Bible does not teach subjection of woman. Sometimes also woman herself can distort herself to submitted position. So that status of woman in the congregation does not distort or come for narrow-minded, so I process briefly relationship between man and woman in the light of the Bible's teaching. http://koti.phnet.fi/petripaavola/Man_and_Woman.html May GBU!

http://koti.phnet.fi/petripaavola/conquest...omisedland.html Nation of Israel was under Egyptians power, in which they were forced as slaves to build kingdom of Egypt. Egypt describes world in the Bible, which is slavery of the sin. God saw misery of His nation in Egypt and heard their shout and saw their anguish in the land of Egypt. Therefore God decided to release His nation and promised to lead nation of Israel to the land, where flows milk and honey. Nation of Israel couldn

http://koti.phnet.fi/petripaavola/Take%20u...20daily%20cross And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. Luuk 9: 23,24. Jesus Christ taught us that we should take up the cross daily, so that we would follow Him. This is a fundamental aspect of our Christian life: the Cross and the following of Jesus Christ. Now we will examine what the cross and the following of Jesus Christ means in practical life.

Spiritualism You may ask, is it possible that in this case, just as in the UFO phenomena, that this is only a question of deceit? Many people who have been dealing with these matters do not take into consideration that it is a great mistake in their life. We are going to look at this matter closely and mainly from the point of view that there is a spirit world which tries to lead people into separation from God.

GOSPEL as a testimony to all nations One important mark, which must fulfil before the public coming of Jesus, is, that the gospel will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations. The fulfilment of this important mark doesn

If we start to examine basic views of the New Age movement and the Oriental religions, it is good to start from reincarnation. This doctrine is namely in the background almost in all teaching of the New age movement and it is also the basic belief of the Oriental religions, in other words of Hinduism and Buddhism. About its commonness has been estimated, that about 25 % of people in the western countries believes in it, but in India and other countries of Asia, where is the origin of this doctrine, the percentage is naturally much bigger. There, in other words mainly in India and other countries of Asia has been taught this doctrine already at least for 2000 years, and obviously it was accepted generally about 300 before Christ, not just before it. When it is a question of reincarnation, it in any case is based on the fact, that our life is believed to be continuous circulation. Its is believed to be continuous circulation, so that each person is born on the earth again and again and again, and gets a new incarnation always according to that, how he has lived in his former life. All that bad, what happens to us today, should only be consequence of the earlier happenings, and that we must now reap it, what we have sown earlier. Only if we experience enlightenment and at the same time are freed from the circulation, in other words we will achieve moksha, so this circulation does not continue eternally. (However in the western view achieving of moksha is not very important. Instead of that, in the western world reincarnation is seen in positive light, in other words mainly as a possibility to develop and to grow spiritually. It hasn't similar negative nuance to generally in east.) But what can we think about reincarnation; is it really true or not, and is it worth while to believe? We try to search for answer to this matter in this writing. http://koti.phnet.fi/elohim/Reincarnation

http://koti.phnet.fi/elohim/Jesusandcatholics We are going to examine on the next lines doctrines of Catholic Church, so that you, who are a member of Catholic Church, could find the grace of God. For the fact is, that in this church there are a lot of people, who don't know yet Christ. Many of them may indeed be quite religious, but they haven't yet received Christ into their lives. In the same way these people may also regard Catholic Church as "the only right church" or think that there is no salvation anywhere else than inside of Catholic Church, but they don't after all yet understand, how really can be saved. Problem of the Catholic Church is indeed, that its rituals and doctrines don't lead people to knowing of grace and salvation in Christ, but to some other things. Actually during the centuries, to this church has come heresies more and more, so that nowadays many people are rather badly astray. For instance Mary, merits of the saints, compensation acts, sacraments and purgatory are examples of these kinds of matters. In any case we will handle the doctrines of Catholic Church only because of that, that every man would be in connection with God. In other words the purpose is that man could find personally salvation and the grace of God in Jesus Christ. You, who read the next lines, don

http://koti.phnet.fi/elohim/foolish_virgin3 Salvation is a gift. Firstly, that the salvation is a gift, indicates to us clearly, that this matter can not include any acts or conditions. For if we should pay later for a gift or to do acts to get it, so it wouldn

http://koti.phnet.fi/petripaavola/GodLovesYou Purpose of God was, that the man would receive that love and holiness, what is in God and that man would live according to that love and holiness. This is indeed great love of God towards the man, it is will of God, that man could live his life as happy and that the life of the man would glorify God, who has given life to the man. When God had created the man, so first God blessed a man. Blessed is in Hebrew. Barakh (bless, to welcome, to wish good). http://koti.phnet.fi/elohim/howcanbesaved May GBU!

If you believe in doctrine of reincarnation, so it is very probable, that you have assumed also a view of many ways to God; in other words it is an ordinary view of the New Age movement, that God is like on a high mountain, where many ways lead. For many have at least thought, that ways, religions can indeed be various, but finally they all will lead to the same direction, to the same God. And finally, when people then are on the peak, they will indeed observe that they have arrived at the same place and on the peak of the same mountain; in other words they have arrived at there, even though they have come there by different ways. Jesus said very clearly, that only he is the only way to God, which thus excludes thought about many ways. In the same way he presented several other claims about himself. How these words therefore fit together with the preceding viewpoint? Generally people forbid it, that Jesus would have lied, but if for example the next words, which he pronounced, are not true, so they must be lie. Also we claim Jesus then a liar, if we don't believe in the next statements and that they are true: Jesus said that he is the only way to the Father God: - (John 14:5-6) Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?" 6. Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Jesus said, that believing in him is important: - (John 8:23-25) But he continued, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. 24. I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am the one I claim to be, you will indeed die in your sins." 25.

http://koti.phnet.fi/elohim/Lastdays1 If we start to examine preceding marks of the coming of Jesus, so one good starting point are the own words of Jesus, in which he referred to the days of Noah and Lot day concerning that generation, which would experience his coming.

I'm not saying homosexuality isn't a sin, but lets remember out job: to love God, and to love one another. I don't remember judging to be among our tasks, we leave that for the big guy upstairs .
