Absalomic Papacy!

 In my studies this morning about the history of David , I came across the quotation(s) below about the history of Absalom over his scheme for usurpation of Power of King David, (his father), which is a fitting symbol for Papacy of the tool it uses to perform it's traitorous actions and of what the sympathizers think of it but in reality it is Absalomic in nature. “ And now the cloak of religious devotion was assumed to conceal his traitorous designs. . . In popular estimation, the prince was a hero rather than an offender, and he set himself to gain the hearts of the people. ” EP 529 - 530 The history is contained in the book of (2 Samuel 13 - 19).

THE TRUE GOD!

Is Jesus Christ also the true God ? “But the LORD is the true God , he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation. ” Jeremiah 10:10 KJV In the text above, the ' true God' is as well as called the 'Living God'. So we ask who is the 'Living God'? Q: Who gave the Ten commandments to the Children of Israel?  A: Jesus Christ (Acts 7:38). “For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived? ” Deuteronomy 5:26 KJV We see here that Christ who gave the Ten Commandments is referred as 'the Living God'. Lastly, 1 John 5:20 [20]And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. Nasi twajua kwamba Mwana wa Mungu amekwisha kuj...
