Não permita na sua vida, que ninguém ou nada, relativize sua fé em Cristo Jesus, e sua aliança de submissão irrestrita à Palavra de Deus!

Isso aconteceu há dias atrás.

Um bispo episcopal pediu oficialmente perdão aos Hindus por confrontá-los com o evangelho. Por isso eles marcaram uma cerimônia onde o bispo “celebrou a ceia” com o pão consagrado dos Hindus.
Para os cristaos, Jesus preeminentemente encorpora a luz divina.
Para os hindus, um número grande de figuras encorpora a luz divina e ensina a verdade divina."
Parece que o primeiro mandamento foi esquecido.
Isso pode não ser realidade no Brasil, mas o mundanismo ou humanismo é a mesma coisa que deuses hindus no meio do culto cristão. Abominação!
O Josh e eu estamos lendo um livro chamado "De volta para o Inferno" (Back to Hell), escrito por um irmão da Nigéria, que diz que a Igreja da Inglaterra declarou oficialmente que "acredita no inferno, mas sem as chamas".
Isso acontece quando começamos a adorar ídolos e nos afastarmos da Palavra diária.
O diabo, deus desse mundo, cega a milhares de pessoas, e tudo se torna “normal”; Deus se torna “muito bonzinho” para qualquer julgamento.
Misericórdia de nós, oh! Deus!
Com temor do Senhor,

Christian Bishop apologises to Hindus for evangelism

Bishop of Los Angeles apologises to Hindus for evangelism January 23rd, 2008 Posted in TEC |Los Angeles Times
During the service, the Rt. Rev. J. Jon Bruno, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles, issued a statement of apology to the Hindu religious community for centuries-old acts of religious discrimination by Christians, including attempts to convert them.
"I believe that the world cannot afford for us to repeat the errors of our past, in which we sought to dominate rather than to serve," Bruno said in a statement read by the Rt. Rev. Chester Talton. "In this spirit, and in order to take another step in building trust between our two great religious traditions, I offer a sincere apology to the Hindu religious community."

Hindu nun Pravrajika Saradeshaprana, dressed in a saffron robe, blew into a conch shell three times, calling to worship Hindu and Episcopal religious leaders who joined Saturday to celebrate an Indian Rite Mass at St. John's Cathedral near downtown.
The rare joint service included chants from the Temple Bhajan Band of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness and a moving rendition of "Bless the Lord, O My Soul" sung by the St. John's choir.
"This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience in worship service," said Bob Bland, a member of St. Patrick's Episcopal Church of Thousand Oaks, who was among the 260 attendees. "There was something so holy - so much symbolism and so many opportunities for meditation."
During the service, the Rt. Rev. J. Jon Bruno, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles, issued a statement of apology to the Hindu religious community for centuries-old acts of religious discrimination by Christians, including attempts to convert them.
"I believe that the world cannot afford for us to repeat the errors of our past, in which we sought to dominate rather than to serve," Bruno said in a statement read by the Rt. Rev. Chester Talton. "In this spirit, and in order to take another step in building trust between our two great religious traditions, I offer a sincere apology to the Hindu religious community."
The bishop also said he was committed to renouncing "proselytizing" of Hindus. Bruno had been scheduled to read the statement himself, but a death of a close family friend prevented him from attending the service.
Swami Sarvadevananda, of Vedanta Society of Southern California, was among about a dozen Hindu leaders honored during the service. He called Bruno's stance "a great and courageous step" that binds the two communities.
"By declaring that there will be no more proselytizing, the bishop has opened a new door of understanding," Sarvadevananda said. "The modern religious man must expand his understanding and love of religions and their practices."
All were invited to Holy Communion, after the Episcopal celebrant elevated a tray of consecrated Indian bread, and deacons raised wine-filled chalices.
In respect to Hindu tradition, a tray of flowers was also presented.
Christians
and Hindus lined up for communion, but since Orthodox Hindus shun alcohol, they consumed only the bread.
During the service, the two faiths also blended practices during the handling of an icon of Jesus.
The Rev. Karen MacQueen, an associate priest at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Pomona, who was the celebrant, carried the icon, a large painted image, during the procession.
She placed it before the altar.
Then, as she and the others knelt before the icon, a second Hindu band, Adoration Chant Band, sang a hymn while the icon was anointed with sandalwood paste by the Episcopal celebrant. A flowered garland was placed on it and a lamp was lighted, a sign of Christ, the light in the darkness
Both Hindu and Christian texts were read.
In her homily, "A Vision for Inter-Religious Dialogue," MacQueen said in both Hinduism and Christianity devotees believe that "the Divine Presence" illuminates the whole world.
MacQueen, who spent two years studying Hinduism in India, said both faiths revere "great figures who embody the divine light, who teach the divine truth."
For Christians, Jesus preeminently embodies the divine light, she said.
For Hindus,
she said a number of figures embody the divine light and teach the divine truth.
"To my knowledge this is an unprecedented event in L.A., California and the U.S.,"
said the Rev. Gwynne Guibord, head of the ecumenical and inter-religious affairs for the diocese, which initiated Saturday's project.
"My personal, prayerful hope is that it will serve as a 'model' of good will toward building up of a 'beloved community,' " she said.
