Waoow that a great speech my dear friend about sins , 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 You are making a great effort in inviting people to take care of their hearts and selves and follow the path of goodness and renounce evil in society, but the church in this era with the marginalization of its role has not reached a large number of Christians and thus many Christians abandoned the sense of faith and direction for prayer and thinking about who created the universe and that the Creator The universe wants the good for all of humanity. It is enough for them to follow its teachings, and one of the things that I have seen made the difference between Muslims and Christians, is the modern dress of women, which was not commanded by Christ or the Lady Mary, and that is why my desire for a long time was to spread the spirit of understanding between religions and to deviate from the teachings of Christianity, Islam or Buddhism leads to a serious deviation in human behavior and disintegration in society and the family, and therefore I hope that you will invite Christians, especially to return to the teachings of their religion by committing to the dress of the Lady Mary or at least covering their bodies because it is from the spirit of Christianity and its teachings and because it is the way to understanding and making peaceful world .Morocco

人は、自分の都合良い神を作ります。イエスキリストだけが父なる神から使わされた神です。私たちは、自分の罪をどうしようもありません。「罪の支払う報酬は死である」グラハム師は、肉体の死と霊的な死があると言われました。キリストの十字架だけが罪の身体から救って下さいます。自分は、キリストと共に十字架で死んだと、信じて私を新しくして下さいと祈るなら、神は新しく生まれ変わらせて下さいます。

[@johncolage1651]

Billy Graham How would you feel if one of your friends was executed on the basis of false charges? Would you make a replica of the instrument of execution? Would you cherish it, or would you rather shun it? In ancient Israel, unfaithful Jews wept over the death of the false god Tammuz. Jehovah spoke of what they were doing as being a 'detestable thing.' (Ezek. 8:13, 14) According to history, Tammuz was a Babylonian god, and the cross was used as his symbol. From its beginning in the days of Nimrod, Babylon was against Jehovah and an enemy of true worship. (Gen. 10:8-10; Jer. 50:29) So by cherishing the cross, a person is honoring a symbol of worship that is opposed to the true God. As stated at Ezekiel 8:17, apostate Jews also 'thrust out the shoot to Jehovah's nose.' He viewed this as "detestable" and 'offensive.' Why? This "shoot," some commentators explain, was a representation of the male sex organ, used in phallic worship. How, then, must Jehovah view the use of the cross, which, as we have seen, was anciently used as a symbol in phallic worship?

[@timteeple5667]

Billy Graham repeated what Paul said in Galatians. The depth of the "reason" Paul was thankful for 5he cross. It is the burden of sin Jesus died on the cross with the burden of our sins. I think Paul was grateful that God "was pleased" he did that to his son Jesus. So it's not the cross but the sacrifice that is significant. In other crusades he talks of the horror of the cross....saying," the worst way to die immaginable". Point : Jesus death on the cross was necessary for the forgiveness of our sins. Paul understood that and was grateful. We have a way to escape damnation now. Believe trust make Jesus the lord of your life. Repent and call out to Jesus. He will change you. The world won't do it..no other Gods exist. Further, he arose from the dead..so he overcame death. The greatest enemy of man was overcome. No sting in death anymore if you have faith in the one true God. Yes the cross is offensive but it is also the offense that brings us the glory of salvation from our sins. God proved his love for us that way. We can offer no less then our souls...our very lives eternally depend on this. "For by grace are you saved through faith". Hope this sheds some light on the use of "cross" and Paul's admiration and Billy Grahams sermon. God Bless.

[@darcellaroberts2851]

I’m confused I thought you were talking about Graham’s money? But now you switched subject, so now you want to Know about Christ? I have a great book you can read that will help. The Bible, it has sold more copies than any book in the world. In fact 100 million copies are sold yearly. There are 66 books in the Bible. Christ is the Scarlett thread that runs from Genesis to Revelation. You will love this Revelations is the last book in the Bible and it was written in 96AD. It predicts that people will start asking where is Jesus. Just like you just said. WOW it blows my mind when I see the Bible playing out right in front of our eyes. I would love to buy you a Bible and send it to you. As you read it I will be more than happy to discuss what questions you have. Thank you for having questions about Christ. I am Thanking God that he has given you questions. It’s the start of a great journey. May Gods love and peace fill your life on this journey.
