Good morning lovelies.I'm thrilled to have you'll in this space.Happy new year to everyone of you.Once again, you're all welcome to my blog.
I want to share my view this morning, on what I caption be a grand defender of faith.
What does defend means in Christian Dom?
In Christian Dom, to defend means to fight against objection, criticism and misconception.Christian apologist, are the ones who are embedded with full authority to defend the christian faith.
I will be using the scriptures, to back up my claims.I will be reading from the book of Exodus 32 verses 1 _27.I won't write what these portions of the scriptures says, but I will deliberate on them one after the other.
Verses 1_4 talks about the incident that occured when God asked Moses to come over to the mount ,so he could get the the tablets which contains the ten commandments.He went there with Joshua.
So while Moses and Joshua, were still on the mount, waiting for God , the Israelites went to Aaron Moses' brother, and they demanded that he should make a god for them to worship, since they weren't sure if Moses and Joshua would be returning any time soon.
Aaron didn't rebuke them, instead, he asked the husbands, to get golden earrings from their wives, sons and children.They did as they were commanded.So Aaron made a molten calf for them .
In the morning, the Israelites rise up and offered sacrifices to the god, they also offered burnt offering to it.There was a great jubilation among them, as they continue to drink.
Aaron, told them the molten calf, was the one that brought them out of the land of Egypt.But that was a big lie.
So while Moses, and Joshua were still on the mount, God told Moses everything the Israelites were doing.So he pleaded with Moses, to allow him destroy the Israelites, but he pleaded on their behalf.
He also, reminded him of the covenant he had with their fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.God repented from the evil he was about to do.He sent Moses and Joshua, to go and see things for themselves.
So when Moses and Joshua were on their way back to the camp, they heard a lot of noices.So Joshua suggests, it was a sound of war, but Moses, being a man filled with the spirit of leadership, suggested that, it was a sound of jubilation.
When they arrived there, they noticed that the Israelites, were worshipping a strange god.So due to shock, Moses smash the tables on the floor.He, strewed it upon the waters, and he gave it to each and everyone of them to drink.
When Aaron saw this, he pleaded with his brother Moses to be considerate, in dealing with the Israelites.He told him they demanded for it.
Moses, stood his ground in defending the Christian faith, which the Israelites couldn't defend, despite all the miracles God did in their midst.
Moses took a deliberate action which was so significant in defending the Christian faith.He stood at the entrance gate, and demanded that those who were on the Lord's side , should step aside.
The Bible recorded that, it was only the sons of levi that stood one side, but the rest of them, remained one side.
Moses, commanded that, the sons of levi , should kill everyone, starting from those Israelites who denounced their christian faith down to others people in the city, who refund to acknowledge God.
Moses, took a good decision, and I know God , was pleased with his actions.
The question is, do we still have christians in this our dispensation, who could stood their grand in defending the Christian faith?
It's a very serious question.So many people are just going to church because they don't want to be classified as sinners .
Is is not better they classify you as a sinner, than going to church without knowing what to do?
In conclusion, we need Christians who would stand their ground, and be the grand defender of falith.Time, is not on our side, let's wake up.
Thank you for viewing my post.
I remain your favorite girl @joyben.
