Jesus Lives!

Death is certain but the Bible speaks about untimely death! 


Make a personal reflection about this..... 


Very interesting, read until the end..... 

It is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7): 

"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 


Here are some men and women who mocked God:


John Lennon (Singer): 


Some years before, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said: 

"Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that. I am certain. 

Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, Today we are more famous than Him" (1966). 

Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times. 



Tancredo Neves (President of Brazil ): 


During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency. 

Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died. 



Cazuza (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet): 


During A show in Canecio (Rio de Janeiro ), while smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said: "God, that's for you." 

He died at the age of 32 of AIDS in a horrible manner. 



The man who built the Titanic:


After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be.

With an ironic tone he said: 

"Not even God can sink it" 

The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic . 



Marilyn Monroe (Actress):


She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show. 

He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her. 

After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said: 

"I don't need your Jesus". 

A week later, she was found dead in her apartment . 



Bon Scott (Singer) 

The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC:


On one of his 1979 songs he sang:  "Don't stop me, I'm going down all the way, down the highway to hell". 

On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his own vomit. 



Campinas (IN 2005):


In Campinas, Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend.....

The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter holding her hand, who was already seated in the car: "My Daughter, Go With God And May He Protect You.." 

She responded: "Only If He (God) Travels In The Trunk, Cause Inside Here.....It's Already Full " 

Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died, the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact. 

The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact.

To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none was broken.



Christine Hewitt (Jamaican Journalist and entertainer):


said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written. 

In June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle.



Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus. 


Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive!

NOTHING COMPARES

Nothing can be compared to the joy that God gives when He forgives us, cleanses us, restores and saves us, and assures us that the gift of God is indeed eternal life, to as many as receive Him!

Good Friday? Man Made!

As early as the first century, the Church set aside every Friday as a special day of prayer and fasting. It was not until the fourth century, however, that the Church began observing the Friday before Easter as the day associated with the crucifixion of Christ. First called Holy or Great Friday by the Greek Church, the name "Good Friday" was adopted by the Roman Church around the sixth or seventh century. This collection of Good Friday videos reflect the types of traditions associated with the history of Good Friday. 

Good Friday Origins
There are two possible origins for the name "Good Friday". The first may have come from the Gallican Church in Gaul (modern-day France and Germany). The name "Gute Freitag" is Germanic in origin and literally means "good" or "holy" Friday. The second possibility is a variation on the name "God's Friday," where the word "good" was used to replace the word "God," which was often viewed as too holy to be spoken aloud. 

Rituals
Starting anytime between midnight and 3 a.m., priests and other clerics begin to recite specific prayers. At the morning ceremony, the priest or church official recites lessons from the scriptures. Afterward, there is a succession of prayers asking for God's mercy and forgiveness on all mankind. 

Definitely man made!
