      [continued from previous message]              Our faith is therefore based on hearing the message from the previous       generations       or reading the Scriptures ourselves. While the Church burned people like       William       Tyndale for translating into the nation of the people from Latin, Slavonic       nations       appear to have been evangelised by brothers and apostles Cyril and Method,       with the       permission of dukes of the nations. They also in that time, around 880 CE,       invented       their own cyrillic alphabet.              The rev. Martin Luther finally restored the authority of the Holy Scriptures,       and salvation by faith in Jesus Christ and the grace of God.              Romans 10:5-10 KJV       5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man       which doeth those things shall live by them. 6 But the righteousness which       is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend       into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) 7 Or, Who shall       descend       into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 8 But what       saith it?              The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is,       the word of faith, which we preach;              9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe       in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.       10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth       confession is made unto salvation.              So, the corruption of Bolsevism is not to be blamed on the evangelisation work       of Cyril and Methodius.              The problem is closer to the atheist and materialist ideology that promised to       liberate work from exploitation, and introduce sexual freedoms, which were       never       free, because "in war and in love the innocent suffer": both imply predation.              Thereof Greek language had four words for love: eros, philia, storge and agape.              (to be continued)              in Christ Jesus       Amen              a disciple              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
