Who is Maitreya?

I don't know if you are familiar with the name Maitreya... Maybe you know him as ''The World Teacher''

According to his website, ''He has been expected for generations by all of the major religions. Christians know him as the Christ, and expect his imminent return. Jews await him as the Messiah; Hindus look for the coming of Krishna; Buddhists expect him as Maitreya Buddha; and Muslims anticipate the Imam Mahdi or Messiah''

He is all of that? Christ, Buddha, Messiah...? Because, although the names are different, we all ''refer to the same individual'' as we read on the site... After all, we have the ''same'' god, right?

Interesting, since we can read on the same website that ''Jesus of Nazareth and the Christ are not one and the same person.'' So Jesus-Christ was not the Christ... He was not the Messiah, the annointed One. ''Christ'' doesn't even refer to a person according to them. Christ is a ''rank'' or a ''Function'' in the hierarchy of the ''Masters of Wisdom'' and these ''Masters'' guide the evolution of humanity, from behind the scene, toward a ''saner and more just world for all.''

Isn't that cute? Make the world a better place... That's fine but I will never follow someone who denies Christ. Because, you know who is the liar? ''It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist—he denies the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.'' - 1 John 2:22-23

Biblical Contradictions

You hear that a lot, right? ”The Bible is FILLED WITH CONTRADICTIONS!” And then, they give you a list…or just one… Or none, because they don’t want ”To waste their time reading a book full of lies and myths”… Or, they give you a link, like this one and, I guess, feel really good about themselves because they think they ”got you”.

Indeed, they can create doubts in your mind and yes, there are some difficult passages in Scriptures but the contradictions?

We have to either work really hard, or not hard enough, to find contradictions in the Bible.

You need to remember is that these ”Contradictions claims” are not new. They have been around for decades, if not centuries. (William Henry Burr wrote a book on biblical contradictions in the 1800′s)

Just so you can give an answer when you are confronted with a ”Contradiction”, Here’s a list of 143 with the explanations. A great work to preserve the integrity of Scriptures.

Also, for a deeper study, here’s a book, yes a FULL Book, totally free! You can read it here. (The book is called ”An examination of the alleged discrepancies of the Bible, by John Wesley Haley)

I hope these ressources will be helpful to you. They were for me…

BP Oil Spill = Revelation 16:3-7?

We read in Revelation 16:3-7:

''The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead man, and every living thing in the sea died.The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood. Then I heard the angel in charge of the waters say: "You are just in these judgments, you who are and who were, the Holy One, because you have so judged; for they have shed the blood of your saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink as they deserve." And I heard the altar respond: "Yes, Lord God Almighty, true and just are your judgments."


Remember another place in Scripture where the sea was turned into blood?


You got it, Moses with Pharaoh in Exodus 7:20-25:

''Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded. He raised his staff in the presence of Pharaoh and his officials and struck the water of the Nile, and all the water was changed into blood. The fish in the Nile died, and the river smelled so bad that the Egyptians could not drink its water. Blood was everywhere in Egypt. But the Egyptian magicians did the same things by their secret arts, and Pharaoh's heart became hard; he would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had said. Instead, he turned and went into his palace, and did not take even this to heart. And all the Egyptians dug along the Nile to get drinking water, because they could not drink the water of the river.''

It happened before and you can see in the two texts that it is a result of God's judgment.

Now, is it the fulfillment of Revelation 16:3 that is happenning now?


Verse 3 is interesting because it says ''Into blood like that of a dead man''

John Macarthur in a sermon on Revelation 16:

''The second angel pours his bowl into the sea and it becomes like blood, like that of a dead man...thick, black, dark, cooled, coagulated. It just pictures the sea like the pool of blood that would come from a man who had been stabbed and all his blood was lying in a pool. I don't know what it is that the Lord is going to use to do this.''

It's almost like he was describing the Gulf of Mexico today...


Now, we're not trying to guess the date the Lord will return but we still should keep in mind that He will return someday and we should be ready...


''For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.'' - 1 Thes. 4:16

''Trust yourself, Not God''

I like that, ''No proof, no god. Done. Think for yourself...''

Do we really think for ourself? I guess we do but did we find the answers to our questions within ourself?

I believe the Bible is true.

Someone else will believe science and evolution and will read books on the subject and they'll enjoy a good Richard Dawkins video on Youtube that explains evolution and all of that.

Maybe you sat down in your living room and you asked yourself ''how did the universe come into existance?'' and you thougt real hard and you found the answer...

I think very few people fit into that last category...

So we think for ourself but we still have to go and search for ''proof'' or ''evidence'' or whatever you want to call them, because we need some sort of assurance. We need a solid ground for our ''system of beliefs''.

I am just saying ( and you could say it in numerous ways and against the Bible too) but what if Richard Dawkins would say one day:''I made that up...Nothing I ever taught was true''What I am saying is, that the answers are not all within yourself, trusting yourself isn't enough.

Dr. Bernie Siegel – New Age Leader

I know…You’re probably asking yourself ”Who is that Siegel guy anyway?”…

Let’s see who Bernie Siegel is.

He is a Doctor from New York and he attended Colgate University and Cornell University Medical College.

He originated ”Exceptional Cancer Patients” (ECaP). ”ECaP is based on “carefrontation,” a safe, loving therapeutic confrontation, which facilitates personal lifestyle changes, personal empowerment and healing of the individual’s life. The physical, spiritual and psychological benefits which followed led to his desire to make everyone aware of his or her healing potential. He realized exceptional behavior is what we are all capable of.” (Taken From Dr. Siegel’s Website)

Our ”Healing potential”…?? Sounds like something coming right out of New Age/Positive Thinking philosophy

But now…Why is it important that we know Bernie Siegel is involved in the New Age movement?

Because Rick Warren quotes Dr. Siegel to support his claim that ”Knowing your purpose gives meaning to your life”:

”You need hope to cope. Dr. Bernie Siegel found he could predict which of his cancer patients would go into remission by asking, “Do you want to live to be one hundred?” Those with a deep sense of life purpose answered yes and were the ones most likely to survive. Hope comes from having a purpose.” (Purpose-Driven Life P.20)

Do you see the New Age Philosophy here? With a positive attitude, you could heal yourself, even if you have cancer… And it is really the same thinking Rick has in mind, right after he writes: ”If you have felt hopeless, hold on! Wonderful changes are going to happen in your life as you begin to live it on purpose.”

So with the right attitude, we’ll have a wonderful life! Certainly not something that we find in Scriptures…

Sometimes I wonder how these lies entered the Church…
