MY MISSION
I. My mission is to
proclaim the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ and to make known,
to those who would like to know, that there are certain fundamental
truths, which I will never argue upon, nor would I compromise, but would teach them to be accepted unconditionally. All other explanations, on which
Christians dispute among themselves, are secondary to the following fundamental truths.
The fundamental truths are,
(1) Lord Jesus
Christ is the Savior of the world, He is the light of the World, and
that no one can come to the "Father" except through Him.
(2) Salvation belongs to Lord Jesus Christ, who paid the penalty for our
sins on the cross of Calvary. He died, rose from the dead, ascended in
to heaven and seated on the right hand of the Majesty.
(3)God exists in "Trinity", the "FATHER", the "SON", and the "HOLY
SPIRIT". Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God and very God Himself.
(4) Salvation is solely by the grace of God,
(5) Salvation is solely through faith alone, and not of works, and it can
not be earned through a price,
(6) Salvation is in Lord Jesus Christ alone,
(7) Salvation is based on Scriptures alone,
(8) Salvation once received will never be lost,
(9) All the glory is to God alone.
II. My
mission is to depend upon and proclaim the truth contained in,
2 Timothy 3:16 "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is
profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness:"
The Holy Bible is given to us for inspiration, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righteousness, and is profitable for
doctrine.
III. My mission is to focus on the fact
that,
(1) in interpreting a passage the literal, historical, cultural, and
grammatical usage of words of original writings are the authority,
(2) Symbols used in the Scriptures, Figures of Speech, allegories, types
should be understood as they are and should not be misconstrued to be
absolutely literal,
(3) Translations of the Scriptures, and paraphrases, as good as they
may be, are not "God-breathed", but only the original writings are to be
considered as the Inspired Word of God.
(4) If for any reason there arises any dispute about the meaning of a
word, phrase, or passage, the original writings should be referred to,
and only the original writings should be considered as the authority for
taking a decision.
IV. My mission is to let know that,
DOCTRINES ARE TO BE ESTABLISHED BASED ON THE PRIMARY TEACHINGS OF THE
SCRIPTURES AND NOT ON THE SECONDARY EXPLANATIONS.
This is my personal ministry for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who died for my sake, was buried and rose from the dead on the third day and ascended in to heaven. This ministry is to proclaim the good news of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ's provision of salvation to every one who believes in Him. This is my voluntary service for the immense blessings I have received from my Savior.
As I have personally typed all the messages on this web site there may have some typos, inadvertently and unintentionally entered. I will thank those who could point out them to me.
