World Wide Talk

Which will be given this Sunday and the theme is and I hope I get this right " Is there only one true Religion "

This talk will be given as mentioned world wide in every single hall. The importance of this talk is evident just by the fact that it will be world wide. Also the information given in the talk I'm sure will help Identify the true religion. I'm going to record it and hopefully have a copy of it posted.

I've mentioned several times the marks of a true religion. Many claim to follow bible standards but are a different way at home. Take for a example a guy I knew. During the week he got drunk. He would also cheat on his Girlfriend. At the same time he was going to church because he knew that he was sinning and needed forgiveness.

During the week he was as bad as he could be but on Sunday he would change and would seek confession so he can be clean again. Recall Moses when he went to get the ten commandments. Remember what the people were doing? They created a golden calf.

When Jehovah sees this, he is very angry. So he says to Moses: ‘Hurry and go down. The people are acting very badly. They have forgotten my laws and are bowing down to a golden calf.’

Moses hurries down the mountain. And when he gets close, this is what he sees. The people are singing and dancing around the golden calf! Moses is so angry that he throws down the two flat stones with the laws on them, and they break into many, many pieces. He then takes the golden calf and melts it down. Then he grinds it into powder.

The people have done a very bad thing. So Moses tells some of the men to take their swords. ‘The bad people who worshiped the golden calf must die,’ Moses says. And so the men strike dead 3,000 people! Doesn’t this show that we need to be careful to worship only Jehovah, and not any false gods?

This is after all that they have seen. All that God has done for them. They pushed and pushed and pushed till they were dead. Doesn't this also show that we can only push God so far? God didn't object to striking them down. They made sacrifices to the molten calf and called the occasion “a festival to Jehovah.” Somehow they deceived themselves into thinking that God would ignore their disobedience. This was an insult to Jehovah, and it angered him greatly

The people of Israel had no excuse for becoming forgetful hearers. They heard the Ten Commandments and were present when Moses gave them God’s command: “You must not make along with me gods of silver, and you must not make gods of gold for yourselves.” Still, the Israelites worshiped the golden calf.

The point is as mentioned that you can only push God so far before even he has to turn his back against you. We should be thankful that God does forgive in a large way but we should not take advantage of his kindness.

I hope to have that talk up by next week. Have a great day.
