Yeah ! Its between legality and morality as usual. But why is it war this time ?
Actually, you can take it as you like, ....... a contrast, a lost connection or a debate. But I take it to be war because, its what happened in me. Yeah ! It happened !!
But, what actually is it ?
Its, what should I do ?
First, before, I answer this question, let me tell you the story. I know, this is what you want to know first !
OK ! Here it is !
May be I was 14 or 15 years old then. Doing my final years of school, dreaming about the big brother days of college. A new math teacher was appointed in our school and he made a good impact on the whole school. Everyone know him for his hot blood and innovative approaches in teaching and learning. As I’m good at math and known among school folks of my controversies, we came together often and got together well. Eventually, I ended up being his pet student and he my Idol/Hero. By the time I’m in my final year of school, he made a good group of students who come to him every evening for math tuition. So, obviously they become my friends and we all started being a gang. A gang well known in the city as ‘ Gnani Gang ‘. Every one know us, at least every legal authority, from courts to Panchyathi office to every constable in every police station in the city.
I learned being grown up. I started drinking, watching p***, going to late night movies without telling to my parents, mid-night parties and a lot. But I still wonder why I never messed up with girls. They always been a foreign thing, even though I watched x-rated videos and all other guys have girl-friends, who meet them secretly in my house. I’m not blaming anyone for I learned all that, neither me :-). It just happened so.
One day in my final year of school, we had a late night party and we all got drunk. At the end of the party all are inebriated except for me and my teacher and he said we are going some where and took me there. It is a hut made of straw with a table for some bottles and glass tumblers and a big bed-sheet spread on the ground. He introduced me to some of them and this one in particular. He is a gangster who is hiding out then, for there are a lot of crime reports filed against him. At that age I used to believe there exist god gangsters as they show in movies. So, I felt like I’m doing a good job hanging with a real-life hero.
And they started talking and planning about killing someone. As their talks went by, I’m growing curious and started concentrating on it. Listening to every detail. Since, I’m in drunk, I couldn’t get it all ( now I don’t know what exactly it was as they spoke, word by word, but I remember the picture that I picturised based on the words), so I tried hard. At times, I felt like I should help and gave them some advises, being feeling proud as if I’m doing a part of heros job. They gave me a compliment, saying I could make a great politician, about what I felt proud.
Later I went home dropping my teacher at his home on my bike. Two days later, I was reading, as usual, newspaper which said a priest has been killed the night before at around 10:15 PM on the street. When I was reading I felt proud for I know it far before the news paper know.
From then, I read for an other week, a lot of funny stories made by the media, in news papers and had fun getting amazed at the way people interpret facts and build stories no where near to the truth. Later it got faded out in the wind that is gone by the time, both in my mind and on the papers. But for that one week it made a good deal of noise in the political drama by both religious and social leaders.
So, now, back now, here I’m ...... here, thinking of what I did in a completely different perspective.
Oh! Really ?
I don’t know, but I could see some sin in that.
I just see the sin now ?
No!
Actually I know its wrong, but ....... let me explain it.
Right then, when it happened, I didn’t have a judging mind. I’m all about being crazy. Being the one, who give everyone, a surprise and just do what I like to do, just for fun ....... Later on, it came to me a lot of times, but I had reasons ....... I mean reasons, reasons that say I’m right ...... in many ways ....... in all ways.
This gangster is under the financial and moral support for life of this politician, who asked him to do that. So, he was just obeying his master. Gnani was just helping his friend on his errand, ho helped him a lot of times. I was in there, with no knowledge of what is going on, but what is happening (I’m talking about inner nad outer consciousness). But now (when I was rethinking), it was past. May duty to past is to tell what I know to who need to know. But what will come out of it. Gnani and the Gangster going to jail.
Actually, Gnani lost his first child in birth and met with an accident that took him six months to recover. Should he still go through any more prosecution ? Should I just spoil his life’s flow and provoke the evil in him ? What if I forgive him in the name of Holy Spirit ?
So, should I let the gangster and the political leader go with it ?
I don’t have to worry about everything. God knows it and he will show to the one person, whom he made take care of it, how to do that . So, I’m fine.
I used to believe no one do, what is not planned by God for them. Even sin is ! I still believe sin is created b God, or how else something come out of no creator and God is the only creator of anything. So, I didn’t do anything out of God’s will.
This was what I used to believe. But now, in the new perspective of Christ, I totally got lost. Even now, I may don’t do much good taking the culprit to Justice, rather disturb a beautiful life of a man. I know, I did something wrong, and I no more do this or let this happen. And, if I have to confess, as for the laws of obedience, what else I do than being a cause to an other havoc, that may lead to some other sin or a total disaster of my own and others life, everyone loved me so much, my family and a lot more many.
Does God appreciate this by obeying the law or breaking the law for good sake ?
Is what I’m doing really good ?
What if I just be calm and write a letter to Gnani about how I feel and pray for forgiveness ?
Man ! Its simple !!
Is it ?
Is there a responsibility, I should be responsibility, I should be responsible for?
If so, what is it ?
Do I have something to do with that ?
Or am I just worrying about something I really don’t have to as I always do ?
But why did I hear about this story ? Is it just happened and its not a message to me ?
Do you want to hear this story ?
Here it is !
A high school guy and his older friend went to a shop. The older guy went into shop, robbed it and killed the girl behind the counter and came back to car while the young guy was waiting in car. As the young guy realized, there is something wrong, he insisted the older guy told him all that happened and abused him that he will kill him to if he said a word out. So, the young guy kept it a secret and two weeks later both of them were in jail.

A Story of Three Trees
Do not miss any line from this.Sometimes we get what we need and not what we want... Once there were three trees on a hill in the woods. They were discussing their hopes and dreams when the first tree said, Someday, I hope to be a treasure chest. I could be filled with gold, silver and precious gems and be decorated with intricate carvings. Everyone would see my beauty. The second tree said, Someday, I would be a mighty ship. I will take kings and queens across the waters and sail to the corners of other world. Everyonewill feel safe in me because of the strength of my hull. Finally, the third tree said, I want to grow to be the tallest and straightest tree in the forest. People will see me on top of the hill and look up to my branches, and think of the heavens and God and how close tothem I am reaching. I will be the greatest tree of all times, and people will always remember me.After a few years of praying that their dreams would come true, a group of woodsmen came upon the trees. One came to the first tree and said, This looks like a strong tree, I think I should be able to sell the wood to a carpenter and he began cutting it down. The tree was happy, because he knew that the carpenter would make him into atreasure chest. At the second tree, one of the other woodsmen said, this looks like a strong tree. I should be able to sell it to the shipyard. The second tree was happy, because he knew he was on his way to becoming a mighty ship. When the woodsmen came upon the third tree, the tree was frightened, because it knew that, if it were cut down, its dreams would not come true. One of the woodsmen said, I don't need anything special from tree, so I'll take this one, and he cut it down When the first tree arrived at the carpenter, he was! Made into a feed box for animals, placed in a barn and filled with hay. This was not at all what he had prayed for. The second tree was cut and made into a small fishing boat. His dreams of being a mighty ship andcarrying kings had come to an end. The third tree was cut into largepieces and left alone in the dark.Then years went by, and the trees forgot about their dreams. Then one day, a man and woman came to the barn. She gave birth and they laid the baby in the hay in the feed box that was made from the first tree. The man wished that he could have made a crib for the baby. The tree could feel the importance of this event and knew that it had held the greatest treasure of all time. Years later, a group of men got in the fishing boat made from the second tree. One of them was tired and went to sleep. While they were out on the water, a great storm arose, and the tree didn't! 'T think it was strong enough to keep the men safe. The men woke the sleeping man and he stood and said Peace, and the storm stopped. At this time, the tree knew that it had carried the King of Kings in its boat. Finally, someone came and got the third tree. It was carried through the streets and the crowd mocked the man who was carrying it. Finally the man was nailed to the tree and raised in the air to die at the top of a hill. When Sunday came, the tree came to realize that it was strong enough to stand at the top of the hill and be as close to God as was possible, because Jesus had been crucified on it.
The moral of this story is that; when things don't seem to be going your way, always know that God has a plan for you. If you place your trust in Him, He will give you great gifts. Each of the trees got what they wanted, just not in the way they had imagined. We don't always know what God's plans are for us. We just know that His ways are not our ways, but his ways are always best. Sometimes the heart sees what the eyes can't. Keep it moving...pass it on, so it could inspire more people. Cheers

The Necklace
The cheerful little girl with bouncy golden curls was almost five. Waiting with her mother at the checkout stand, she saw them; a circle of glistening white pearls in a pink foil box.
"Oh mommy, please mommy. Can I have them ? Please mommy, please ?" Quickly the mother checked the back of the little foil box and then looked back into the pleading blue eyes of her little girl’s upturned face.
"A dollar ninety-five. That’s almost $2.00. If you really want them, I’ll think of some extra chores for you and in ! No time you can save enough money to buy them for yourself. Your birthday is only week away and you might get another crisp dollar bill from Grandma." As soon as Jenny got home; she emptied her penny bank and counted out 17 pennies. After dinner; she did more than her share of chores and she went to the neighbor and asked Mrs. McJames if she could pick dandelions for ten cents. On her birthday her Grandma did give her another new dollar bill and at last she had enough money to buy the necklace. Jenny loved her pearls. They made her feel dressed up and grown up.
She wore them everywhere; Sunday school; kindergarten; even to bed. The only time she took them off was when she went swimming or had a bubble bath. Mother said if they got wet; they might turn her neck green. Jenny had a very loving daddy and every night when she was ready for bed; he would stop whatever he was doing and come upstairs to read her a story. One night as he finished the story, he asked Jenny;
"Do you love me ?"
"Oh yes daddy. You know that I love you."
"Then give me your pearls."
"Oh daddy not my pearls. But you can have Princess; the white horse from my collection; the one with pink tail. Remember daddy ? The one you gave me. She’s my very favorite."
"That’s okay; Honey; daddy loves you. Good night."
And he brushed her cheek with a kiss. About a week later; after the story time, Jenny’s daddy asked again; "Do you love me ?"
"Daddy; you know I love you."
"Then give me your pearls."
"Oh Daddy not my pearls. But you can have my baby doll. The brand new one I got for my birthday. She is beautiful and you can have the yellow blanket that matches her sleeper."
"That’s okay. Sleep well. God bless you little one. Daddy loves you."
And as always; he brushed her cheek with a gentle kiss.
A few nights later when her daddy came in Jenny was sitting on her bed with her legs crossed. As he came close he noticed her chin was trebling and one silent tear rolled down her cheek.
"What is it Jenny ? What’s the matter ?"
Jenny didn’t say anything but lifted her little hand up to her daddy. And when she opened it, there was her little pearl necklace. With a little quiver she finally said; "Here daddy this is for you."
With tears gathering in his own eyes Jenny’s daddy reached out with one hand to take the dime store necklace; and with the other hand he reached into his pocket and pulled out a blue velvet case with a strand of genuine pearls and gave them to Jenny. He had them all the time. He was just waiting for her to give up the dime-store stuff so he could give her the genuine treasure.
So it is with our Heavenly Father. He is waiting for us to give up the cheap things in our lives so that he can give us beautiful treasures.
Are you holding onto things that God wants you to let go off ? Are you holding on to harmful or unnecessary relationships; habits and activities that you have come so attached to that it seems impossible to let go ? Sometimes it is so hard to see what is in the other hand but do believe this one thing ..... God will never take away something without giving you something better in its place.

Why is it so ?
God prescribed every single detail of your body.
He deliberately choose your race, the color of your skin, your hair, and every other feature.
He custom-made your body just the way he wanted it.
He also determined the natural talents you would posses and the uniqueness of your personality.
he also decided when you would be born and how long you would live.
He also planned where you'd be born and where you'd live for his purpose.
God left no detail to chance.
So, why is still something in the world going wrong ?
because man completely failed to realize this and hence stopped living his life.
Nothing is wrong. Everything is going as God planned. But we are failing to realize that this is what should be happened. We think our plans should what come true. But it is never going to happen.

My Prayer
Oh ! God !!
I promise you I’ll be the message reaching out to needy - your children - if it is what you want me to be. But ..... I know I shouldn’t have buts, but you know I believe I’m weak.
Give me the wisdom and help me be what want me to be.
I know I still sin and you know its not of my disbelief in you but of my helplessness of keeping my thoughts under my control. Give me the power and wisdom to win over my weakness and live a life full of you and your spirit.
I thank you god for what you are and have done to me. I thank you for sending all the people around me to teach me your message. I thank you for revealing me yourself and so the truth.
I thank you for what you are in me and my life. I thank you for helping me when I messed up. Thank you for forgiving all my sins and helping me out of them. Thank you for your promises and gifts, Father ! Thank you for your Son and the Grace.
(Its more than anything I could pray for.)
Word of God - Truth of Jesus
2TI 3:16 Every scripture inspired of God [is] also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness.
2TI 3:17 That the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work.
The word of God is so concisely delivered it just a all in one guide for anything in our life. The moral teachings by great prophets and a lot by Jesus himself reveal every thing about morality. The behavioral analysis tells you about every thing of human psychology - The story is all about this and how God tried to help us with our difficulties by showing the right way. It’s a guide to both those who show the righteous way and those who search for the way. It’s a word for everyone.
HEB 4:12 For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.
HEB 4:13 And there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
The Word of God is not just a guide to those who are spoke to when it was revealed to by God at that point of time but its still alive and active.
I mean it still has its concise meaning enough to guide you throughout your day to day life. It helps you in how to bring up your children, how to behave with your not so good neighbors, how to tackle situations in your business, how to stand by when every thing go against in the righteous way.
It has the power to pierce through your flesh to your heart and kill the sinful thoughts and resurrect the righteous behavior and thought in you.
2PE 1:20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation.
2PE 1:21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but men spake from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
And no single letter in the Word of God is from any man’s personal interpretation or imaginations or beliefs. They are being thought by God to them so they bring the truth to all his children and who ever come to believe in it and follow it will come to know him and get saved in him.
It is self evident by the way how all the prophesies about Jesus, his birth and life said in Bible have come true. Also every word and every moral stand true still in this modern age of reason and technology. Nothing can you rule out as not logical now nor not scientific. For it is the word of God who know what is basic and truth of everything.
JOH 8:31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, [then] are ye truly my disciples;
JOH 8:32 and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
And this guide is helpful only when you abide by it. If you believe in it, you abide by it and it will teach you the truth as it itself is truth and when you know the truth, nothing comes as surprise to you and so you will be prepared for what is to come and when it come you don’t suffer as you be prepared to overcome it. So you are free of suffering and pain. Its just so promising Heaven before you even die. But, its only if you believe enough to abide by it at all times in your life.
The Word of God is true and helpful to those who follow it and you can’t just follow some thing you don’t believe.
Its obvious ! If you believe you live healthy two days for sure, you don’t hesitate to jump from a plane 2000 miles above sea at the beach. Don’t you ?
MT 15:1 Then there come to Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and scribes, saying,
MT 15:2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
MT 15:3 And he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?
MT 15:4 For God said, Honor thy father and thy mother: and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death.
MT 15:5 But ye say, whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is given [to God];
MT 15:6 he shall not honor his father. And ye have made void the word of God because of your tradition.
MT 15:7 Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
MT 15:8 This people honoreth me with their lips; But their heart is far from me.
MT 15:9 But in vain do they worship me, Teaching [as their] doctrines the precepts of men.
And the Word of God is all about truth and not about traditions. Nowhere in Bible did it was said follow tradition or culture. They are not eternal. But follow word of God and it will save you. Following tradition is for people and it is no sin as long as its not voiding the word of God. But its is not gonna please the God and help you get free of pain and sin.
Believe in his word and confess in his name with all your heart and you will know the word is true and it is not what we do in the name of tradition or God that God be satisfied of, but of what we believe and abide by with our full heart, as he is in love with our hearts but not with our acts. He want our hearts but not our showy traditional mimics full of Hypocrisy. So believe in God’s Word with all your heart and you will be saved by it.
JOH 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayings, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I spake, the same shall judge him in the last day.
And you know God is same from the dawn of creation to now and will be the same till the dusk of creation. And so is his word. It’s the standard for everything and everyone. Even at the end, when we stand before him to give account of our life, he will compare everything to what is being said of in His word to what we have done.
So, who ever don’t believe in His word and do sin has to give his account of them and suffer the Judgement. So, make bible your standard and you will live happy in this world and His Eden.
AC 17:10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Beroea: who when they were come thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
AC 17:11 Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of the mind, examining the Scriptures daily, whether these things were so.
Know this that our nobility in the eyes of God raise as of our faith in Him through the belief in his Word. Don’t just believe in what you hear or read, but apply his word with belief in his word, so you don’t give up in the middle, in your life at every time and test it. So your faith in Him will raise and so you abide by his word which bring you closer to God.
So make Bible your standard ! In other words - Live the life of Bible.

Bible says about Jesus
Bible - What it says about Jesus
and
Jesus - What is said about him in Bible
JOH 7:17 If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or [whether] I speak from myself.
What ever Jesus said is gods words. Most of them are beyond human wisdom. They are not self-contradicting and non of them ever are out dated, it means they are still the path descriptions/guide lines in all of our day to day life. Every thing he said he believed and showed us practically by being an example himself.
Resurrection
1CO 15:12 Now if Christ is preached that he hath been raised from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?1CO 15:13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither hath Christ been raised:1CO 15:14 and if Christ hath not been raised, then is our preaching vain, your faith also is vain.1CO 15:15 Yea, we are found false witnesses of God; because we witnessed of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead are not raised.1CO 15:16 For if the dead are not raised, neither hath Christ been raised:1CO 15:17 and if Christ hath not been raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.1CO 15:18 Then they also that are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.1CO 15:19 If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.
You may ask was Jesus really raised from dead ?
Yeah ! Its really questionable. But what else is true about if it is not ? He said every thing of what is to happen before it happened. And so he said this and you may think its just an other story interweaved into an Epic - The Bible.
Ok ! Think about this :
What if Jesus is not raised from dead but its an other story ?
The faith is all false and the Scriptures are all lies and just stories and predictions.
So, may the word about God is also false.
So, our creation is also false.
So, we are false.
Do you know who we are ?
We are not what we physically are but our faith in God.
Because it is the only thing that lead us through the tough times of our life.
May be most of you know this, when we are at the verge of our wits end but we are desperate, we believe in some thing - the thing that gives you hope out of no real reason but your instincts. It is because it is with in the comprehension of your wisdom beyond reason. And this is about material possibilities. But the real question comes when you think about spiritual possibilities. There is no way you can comprehend things there with out the wisdom and the wisdom comes from the one who know or our personal experience. But a personal experience comes only when you go through the situation - may be you have to sin - degrade to that hopeless situation where you loose your spirit, to know what is what in spiritual world. Instead God gave us his word in the form of Bible and with out belief - called Faith at spiritual level - we can’t know the truth and so never be saved.
For example, when Socrates said earth is not flat but it’s a sphere shaped, the people then stoned him to death. And he didn’t said that having seen the earth as our present scientists do or he didn’t travel around the globe or he didn’t have had any evidences or scriptures to stand by it so sternly facing death that is so painful. It is just relaying on some instincts which we call now facts - as we believe ( if we don’t know they are instincts and we know them consciously they are facts ) - did he fought against the whole world. So, it’s the belief and so is the faith. If you have faith you stand by it taking the glorious end and world see the God through you.
And also you know God is all powerful and all known and so can resurrect dead. And if he didn’t do this to his son who abide by his word and whom he promised, he don’t do this anyone else. And us believing in his word is nothing but believing in hypocrisy is Divine.
Prediction
MT 27:62 Now on the morrow, which is [the day] after the Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together unto Pilate,MT 27:63 saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said while he was yet alive, After three days I rise again.MT 27:64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest haply his disciples come and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: and the last error will be worse than the first.MT 27:65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a guard: go, make it [as] sure as ye can.MT 27:66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, the guard being with them.
Hey ! Lets wait ! Is the prediction about his resurrection true ? Did Jesus really said of it ? Yeah ! The above scripture say that. And not only in scriptures was it said but also it has historical evidences. Did you know what ? If we doubt the scriptures here we have to think about only possibility of Bible survived is the people then were so dumb they just don’t know what they are accepting.
They know this guy who been with them and believe that he said to them some thing he didn’t say and they know it.
Don’t you think this will be the most incredible thing ever to hear off ?
So, now we believe in resurrection and its prediction.
The Death
JOH 19:31 The Jews therefore, because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remain on the cross upon the sabbath (for the day of that sabbath was a high [day]), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and [that] they might be taken away.JOH 19:32 The soldiers therefore came, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him:JOH 19:33 but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:JOH 19:34 howbeit one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and straightway there came out blood and water.
Now, Is Jesus really dead in the first place ? Or been taken to the tomb live so that he just got up when he got the consciousness and escaped out of it or just left by the soldiers to go with all the wounds.
He will not be found with healed bruises in just three days - actually we come to this later because we have to answer a lot of questions like :
Is he dead ?
If dead, is it Jesus ?
.
Wrong Tomb
JOH 19:38 And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave [him] leave. He came therefore, and took away his body.JOH 19:39 And there came also Nicodemus, he who at the first came to him by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.JOH 19:40 So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.JOH 19:41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new tomb wherein was never man yet laid.JOH 19:42 There then because of the Jews` Preparation (for the tomb was nigh at hand) they laid Jesus.
A body was laid in a tomb that was not used before, known. So, some one was dead and his body was entombed in a cave. And so Jesus is dead. Is it Jesus ? We don’t know yet, but there is a particular tomb that is easily identified or distinguished. So the body was entombed in a cave of no confusion.
Empty Tomb
MT 28:11 Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city, and told unto the chief priests all the things that were come to pass.MT 28:12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave much money unto the soldiers,MT 28:13 saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.MT 28:14 And if this come to the governor`s ears, we will persuade him, and rid you of care.MT 28:15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying was spread abroad among the Jews, [and continueth] until this day.
Hey if you believe that Bible is true, and so the history, you will clearly understand that here the Chief Priest is clearly trying to falsify a truth, And the truth is Jesus body was missing from the truth out of no known reason that could prove Jesus is wrong. And it was proved that it was not the wrong tomb but the same cave where Jesus was entombed which is found empty.
Stolen Body
JOH 20:19 When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first [day] of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you.JOH 20:20 And when he had said this, he showed unto them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord.JOH 20:21 Jesus therefore said to them again, Peace [be] unto you: as the Father hath sent me, even so send I you.JOH 20:22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit:JOH 20:23 whose soever sins ye forgive, they are forgiven unto them; whose soever [sins] ye retain, they are retained.JOH 20:24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.JOH 20:25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.JOH 20:26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace [be] unto you.JOH 20:27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and see my hands; and reach [hither] thy hand, and put it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.JOH 20:28 Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.JOH 20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed [are] they that have not seen, and [yet] have believed.
AC 4:12 And in none other is there salvation: for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, wherein we must be saved.AC 4:13 Now when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
1CO 15:1 Now I make known unto you brethren, the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand,1CO 15:2 by which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the word which I preached unto you, except ye believed in vain.1CO 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which also I received: that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;1CO 15:4 and that he was buried; and that he hath been raised on the third day according to the scriptures;1CO 15:5 and that he appeared to Cephas; then to the twelve;1CO 15:6 then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are fallen asleep;
AC 26:24 And as he thus made his defense, Festus saith with a loud voice, Paul, thou art mad; thy much learning is turning thee mad.AC 26:25 But Paul saith, I am not mad, most excellent Festus; but speak forth words of truth and soberness.AC 26:26 For the king knoweth of these things, unto whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him; for this hath not been done in a corner.AC 26:27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.AC 26:28 And Agrippa [said] unto Paul, With but little persuasion thou wouldest fain make me a Christian.AC 26:29 And Paul [said], I would to God, that whether with little or with much, not thou only, but also all that hear me this day, might become such as I am, except these bonds.
So, it says the disciples were hiding and afraid of Jews and if they have stolen the body they needn’t to be afraid. They can just go out and do be the Chief Priests whom every one just treat like king.
And if you think they may be kinda made stories, just ordinary men (fishermen) can’t just speak out so boldly and courageously and all that scholarly and with that wisdom.
And don’t give their life for sheer sake of nothing and stand by the word if they haven’t witnesses the truth.
Five hundred people don’t lie all alike about the same person and same thing.
So, whom of are we talking all the time ?
Some one who is crucified and dead and entombed in a cave that was found empty after of no evidence and the body is being taken care of, surveilled of and you know - can’t be some one other than Jesus.
So, it is obvious now that Jesus was crucified and resurrected from death.
and
Jesus - What is said about him in Bible
JOH 7:17 If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or [whether] I speak from myself.
What ever Jesus said is gods words. Most of them are beyond human wisdom. They are not self-contradicting and non of them ever are out dated, it means they are still the path descriptions/guide lines in all of our day to day life. Every thing he said he believed and showed us practically by being an example himself.
Resurrection
1CO 15:12 Now if Christ is preached that he hath been raised from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?1CO 15:13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither hath Christ been raised:1CO 15:14 and if Christ hath not been raised, then is our preaching vain, your faith also is vain.1CO 15:15 Yea, we are found false witnesses of God; because we witnessed of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead are not raised.1CO 15:16 For if the dead are not raised, neither hath Christ been raised:1CO 15:17 and if Christ hath not been raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.1CO 15:18 Then they also that are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.1CO 15:19 If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.
You may ask was Jesus really raised from dead ?
Yeah ! Its really questionable. But what else is true about if it is not ? He said every thing of what is to happen before it happened. And so he said this and you may think its just an other story interweaved into an Epic - The Bible.
Ok ! Think about this :
What if Jesus is not raised from dead but its an other story ?
The faith is all false and the Scriptures are all lies and just stories and predictions.
So, may the word about God is also false.
So, our creation is also false.
So, we are false.
Do you know who we are ?
We are not what we physically are but our faith in God.
Because it is the only thing that lead us through the tough times of our life.
May be most of you know this, when we are at the verge of our wits end but we are desperate, we believe in some thing - the thing that gives you hope out of no real reason but your instincts. It is because it is with in the comprehension of your wisdom beyond reason. And this is about material possibilities. But the real question comes when you think about spiritual possibilities. There is no way you can comprehend things there with out the wisdom and the wisdom comes from the one who know or our personal experience. But a personal experience comes only when you go through the situation - may be you have to sin - degrade to that hopeless situation where you loose your spirit, to know what is what in spiritual world. Instead God gave us his word in the form of Bible and with out belief - called Faith at spiritual level - we can’t know the truth and so never be saved.
For example, when Socrates said earth is not flat but it’s a sphere shaped, the people then stoned him to death. And he didn’t said that having seen the earth as our present scientists do or he didn’t travel around the globe or he didn’t have had any evidences or scriptures to stand by it so sternly facing death that is so painful. It is just relaying on some instincts which we call now facts - as we believe ( if we don’t know they are instincts and we know them consciously they are facts ) - did he fought against the whole world. So, it’s the belief and so is the faith. If you have faith you stand by it taking the glorious end and world see the God through you.
And also you know God is all powerful and all known and so can resurrect dead. And if he didn’t do this to his son who abide by his word and whom he promised, he don’t do this anyone else. And us believing in his word is nothing but believing in hypocrisy is Divine.
Prediction
MT 27:62 Now on the morrow, which is [the day] after the Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together unto Pilate,MT 27:63 saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said while he was yet alive, After three days I rise again.MT 27:64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest haply his disciples come and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: and the last error will be worse than the first.MT 27:65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a guard: go, make it [as] sure as ye can.MT 27:66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, the guard being with them.
Hey ! Lets wait ! Is the prediction about his resurrection true ? Did Jesus really said of it ? Yeah ! The above scripture say that. And not only in scriptures was it said but also it has historical evidences. Did you know what ? If we doubt the scriptures here we have to think about only possibility of Bible survived is the people then were so dumb they just don’t know what they are accepting.
They know this guy who been with them and believe that he said to them some thing he didn’t say and they know it.
Don’t you think this will be the most incredible thing ever to hear off ?
So, now we believe in resurrection and its prediction.

Discipleship - Preacher
Let us start with a question. How do you choose to be, a preacher or a disciple of
Jesus ?
Let me analyze this for you.
Day to Day | If you be a disciple you follow | A preacher talk all the |
LifeStyle | You can choose your life style. | Should watch every step |
Can Do for God | Be an example of Word or Be | Can teach everything but |
What we can be in | Being one who go through it, | Can not influence life |
Influence Others | Can not influence in a day and | Can influence a large sum |
Results of our acts | Can practically eliminate all | Can explain based on |
life as God promised us. And we can make a lot of influence on others life around
us and help them realize God. But you can not influence a lot of people. Right !
Right ?!
I tell you this, No, you can make a world of children of God.
You may ask, “ How ? A preacher can speaks to a thousand and make at least 10
followers of Christ in just one sermon . A sermon a month makes 120 a year. How
can I who can hardly influence one make a world of Disciples of Christ. “
I tell you how ....... consider there is this preacher who go to one person each day
and he is so great a preacher he just make the person follow Jesus. So he can make
365 followers, who believe and pray Jesus, a year. And as you say you influence
just one of your nearest relative or friend and he/she become a Disciple of Jesus. Let
us make a chart for easy analysis.
Year(end) | Preacher | Disciple |
1 | 365 | 2 |
2 | 730 | 4 |
3 | 1,095 | 8 |
4 | 1,460 | 16 |
. | . | . |
. | . | . |
13 | 4,745 | 8,192 |
. | . | . |
. | . | . |
. | . | . |
. | . | . |
32 | 11,680 | 4,294,967,296 |
One |
Not even a | More than World |
Not even a | More than World |
why Jesus said make Disciple of the world but not the followers. And it is with 12
disciples, whom Jesus choose from very awkward lifestyles, did he able to build
...... how many in the world now ........ more than half of the world believe in him.
So you can be the one who make two and so the world.

Evidence for Jesus 1
MT 16:13 Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his
disciples, saying, Who do men say that the Son of man is?
Who is Jesus ?
He is the son of God who came to world to prophecies the Gospel and preach the
Truth. He lived a complete Mans life, overcoming all the temptations men came
across in ages and suffering with us out of compassion and love, showing us the
way to live a complete life being a complete God, bearing and forgiving all our sins.
He even died the most cruel death ever to save us out of our sins.
Truth. He lived a complete Mans life, overcoming all the temptations men came
across in ages and suffering with us out of compassion and love, showing us the
way to live a complete life being a complete God, bearing and forgiving all our sins.
He even died the most cruel death ever to save us out of our sins.
JOH 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth him
that sent me, hath eternal life, and cometh not into judgment, but hath passed out of
death into life.
JOH 5:25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour cometh, and now is, when the
dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live.
JOH 5:26 For as the Father hath life in himself, even so gave he to the Son also to
have life in himself:
JOH 5:27 and he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of
man.
Son of God !
No man just take the most suffering death to keep with truth - He will try to betray
No man who know he will get betrayed believe others - He will rather guard himself
No man ever live without giving out , at least, for sinful thought, if you believe he
did, which he did - He will give in at point or the other
No man stand by the truth and good just
JOH 8:23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of
this world; I am not of this world.
JOH 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for except ye
believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.
Believe who Jesus is !
JOH 10:30 I and the Father are one.
Jesus and the Father are One.
JOH 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one
cometh unto the Father, but by me.
JOH 14:7 If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also: from
henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
No one come to The Father except through me !
Evidences
JOH 20:30 Many other signs therefore did Jesus in the presence of the disciples,
which are not written in this book:
JOH 20:31 but these are written, that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son
of God; and that believing ye may have life in his name.
So know Miracles - know who He is and believe.
Legend : Non-Biblical (Outside Bible) evidence exist
Liar : Greatest moral teacher can’t lie
Lunatic : His teachings impacted life - make this impossible
Lord : Strong evidence that support He is Lord

Conclusion :
Like this nearly more than 400 prophecies have been fulfilled. A
probability of one human out of all possible favorite odds to satisfy eight prophecies
is one out of 1017.

JOH 20:31 but these are written, that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son
of God; and that believing ye may have life in his name.
So know Miracles - know who He is and believe.
Legend : Outside Bible evidence exist
Liar : Greatest moral teacher can’t lie
Lunatic : His teachings impacted life - make this impossible
Lord : Strong evidence that support He is Lord
