Definitions


We Americans have a common language - English. You'd think that communicating with each other would then be easy. Far from it. You see, although we speak the same language, our words often have different meanings and definitions.

Example: Do you believe in God? You might say 'Yes' but is it the same God that I believe in? Umm..... who knows?

Jesus needs to be defined these days because Jesus has several different meanings, depending on the religion. Jesus of the Bible is not the same as the Mormon Jesus or the Jesus of Islam. Make sure to define your Jesus!

Do you believe that Jesus was the result of a physical, sexual relationship between God and Mary? If you do you might be a Mormon. If you believe thay Jesus always was as part of the Trinity since the beginning of time, you might be a Biblical Christian. See what I mean?

And the Jesus is Islam was merely a prophet, not God. This Islamic prophet,  Jesus, was brought forth to proclaim the coming Messiah, Muhammad.

Make sure who you are believing in and praying to before bowing your head or worshipping with others.

"In the beginning was the Word (Jesus), and the Word (Jesus) was with God, and the Word (Jesus) was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind." - John 1:1-4
