Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>True Christians are urged to defend and contend for the gospel if it\u2019s maliciously attacked (Jude 3, Philippians1:27-30). I\u2019m a practicing Christian and I daily grow to know my kingdom. Christianity is a kingdom not a religion (John 3:3-6). Jesus never directed anyone to go to church to find God! Do you know what a church is according to the New Testament? Read Matthew16:17-18. It\u2019s Christians not the structures. The structures are men\u2019s creation but not the main thing as the Word is. Jesus came as a light for the world\u2019s population who were in darkness searching about God. All mankind has that quest within them but Jesus came to help with the direction not directions (Acts 14:15-16). Read Matthew 7:13-14 which shall give light on how you can truly find your way to God, not by storming churches religiously.<\/b><\/p>\n

You access God by believing first in His son Jesus Christ not by understanding first neither by going to church. Remember, it is a kingdom not a religion to just join. Christianity has no man to enforce it on you but it\u2019s self regulatory through obeying what the New Testament says. You believe before you begin to know about. On the take that Christianity came with westerners, that one is a political aggrieved view because of their sins they did but Christianity is not their cut originally. Even Jews, it is not theirs but it is for all mankind (1 Tim 2:3-6 and John 3:16). Let me provide you with some intellectual thinking to consider about having many ways to know God genuinely.<\/p>\n

Nations<\/b><\/p>\n

God made one man, Adam, and all nations came from him (Acts 17:26-28). So that spells that after Adam messed up by sinning thus subsequently throwing all mankind into trouble with God (Rom 5:12-14), that means all mankind was lost from God but God was not lost to mankind. God provided us with His son for our choice to make to believe in Him to find our way back to Him. Can you intelligently think of examples on this earth which evidently show that there is no multiplicity with God for us mankind, no matter where living things are found but the vital things which give us life are the same; sun moon and stars, a blue sky, oxygen, water, rain etc. We all partake in these the same way regardless of what nationality or appearance one has. There is your evidence.<\/p>\n

In your research of all religions, which one has in its writings a statement as bold as John 3:16 and which man ever spoke responsible and self binding like the Lord Jesus in His teachings … for everyone never personalised what they taught thus not liable to their words (John 6:63). Lastly, to all; Christianity is not judged through so-called Christians or churches but by knowing what the New Testament teaches (John 8:31-32). Just be born again for God is making His children now on earth and don\u2019t be left out. He loves you, so repent. If we shall reject Christianity on the basis that it came with colonial westerners, then we have a lot to reject, including education, electricity, clothes, cars and houses, among others.<\/p>\n
