It was great having a holiday at KK from wednesday to saturday. I got buy a pair of shoes, watch and some clothes for my daily needs. Many problem had happen during my family and I on the trip to KK and back from KK. The car got cooling problem and it easy to heat up while driving up to the hill. Many times that we stop at some places at the road to cool up the car engine and the radiator by filling up with cool water. But God really help us to have a safe journey back home last saturday because had many problem already. We had prayed that God help us and it really work. While I was in KK, I saw many things in the TV and the cinema. Many false teaching and gospel had affected our christian faith. Movie and documentary such as The Da Vinci Code and The Gospel of Judas. These thing is the gnostic gospel which twisted the truth long ago during the early church. It twisted the very foundation of Christianity. (It said that that salvation is not based in faith in the sacrificial death and resurrection of Jesus, but in one's own efforts to gain secret knowledge that will lead to "enlightenment". Gnosticism promotes ideas which are popular with many today seeking an easy, compromising "religion" -- the notion that we are essentially "good" at the core, that there is no such thing as sin, that there are many ways to the truth, that there is no need for redemption or a Redeemer, and that we can of our own efforts attain oneness with God. Fact is, the Bible teaches that "The hear is deceitful and desperately wicked -- who can know it?", and that "All have sinned, and fallen short of the glory of God. Jesus said that "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life -- no one comes to the Father except by Me." Gnosticism is far far removed from the teachings of Jesus and the central truths of Christianity.) text from http://www.evidencetobelieve.net/da_vinci_code_truth.htm. Many false teaching and story came to deceive us and let us astray and let us away from the love of God. It makes us doubt about God. Just like what the Bible has tell us at 1 John 4: 1 to 6 :
[Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claim to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets in the world. This is a the way to find out if they have the Spirit of God: If a prophet acknowledges that Jesus Christ became human being, that person has the Spirit of God. If a prophet does not acknowledge Jesus, that person is not from God. Such a personm has the spirit of Antichrist. You have heard that he is going to come into the world, and he is already here. But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won your fight with these false prophet, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in this world. These people belongs to this world, so they speak from the world's view-point, and the world listen to them. But we belong to God; that is why those who know God listen to us. If they do not belong to God, they do not listen to us. That how we know if someone has the Spirit of truth or the spirit of deception.]
That why we who is a Christian must stay in our faith in God. We must wear the armour of God to defend ourselves from false teaching. That why we must read the Bible to know clearly about the Truth. We must have strong faith in God and know the Word of God to know what is true and false.
I now must read bible everyday because I want to know God better and stand firmly in the truth.
