The Word of God

MISSION M.B.M organization is called to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the beliefs of the evangelical Christian faith by witnessing, and ministering to the needs of the people. To inspire in all persons a love for Christ, a passion for righteousness, and a consciousness of their duties to God and their fellow human beings. To experience the grace and forgiveness of God; an organization of believers where persons can find healing for the things that have hurt and wounded their souls; where they can be nurtured and disciple into faith in the one true God and in Jesus Christ whom He has sent.

"In what year did Jesus die?" The death of Jesus and His subsequent resurrection are the most important events since the creation of the world. It was through the death of Christ that God took those who were alienated from Him due to sin and reconciled [them] by Christ’s physical body through death to present [them] holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation (Colossians 1:2122). And through Christ’s resurrection God has mercifully given us new birth int...o a living hope (1 Peter 1:3). As with most of the events it records, the Bible does not give us the exact date that Jesus died. But we can figure it out with a fair degree of accuracy. Even though the world’s timeline is historically divided between BC (before Christ) and AD (anno dominiin the year of our Lord), Jesus Christ was actually born between the years 6 and 4 BC. We arrive at this date based on the death of Herod the Great, who was procurator of Judaea from 47 BC until he died in 4 BC. It was after Herod died that Joseph and Mary with the infant Jesus were told to return to Israel from Egypt (Matthew 2:19). A number of factors allow us to pinpoint the year of the death of Jesus. We calculate that John the Baptist commenced his ministry c. AD 26, based on the historical note in Luke 3:1 that John started preaching in the fifteenth year of Tiberius’s reign. Tiberius was named emperor in AD 14, but he actually started reigning two years prior to that, AD 12, as co-regent with Augustus Caesar. Using the earlier date, John’s ministry began c. AD 2627. Jesus probably began His ministry soon after John began his and ministered for the next three and a half years, approximately. So, the end of Jesus’ ministry would have been c. AD 2930. Pontius Pilate is known to have ruled Judea from AD 2636. The crucifixion took place during a Passover (Mark 14:12), and that fact, plus astronomical data (the Jewish calendar was lunar-based), narrows the field to two datesApril 7, AD 30, and April 3, AD 33. There are scholarly arguments supporting both dates; the later date (AD 33) would require Jesus to have had a longer ministry and to have begun it later. The earlier date (AD 30) would seem more in keeping with what we deduce about the start of Jesus’ ministry from Luke 3:1. Much has happened on the world stage since the time of Christ, but nothing has ever eclipsed the magnitude and meaning of what happened in AD 30the death and resurrection of the Savior of the world.

Jesus Was Born On: 11th September 3 BC. On the 11th September 3 BC (Day 1 Month 7 - Tishri) God used the constellation Virgo to give us a sign in the heavens. That evening, from Bethlehem, as the constellation of Virgo became visible just above the horizon towards the west, it appeared as if sun set had ‘cloaked’ Virgo’s body. The crescent moon was positioned right under her feet, whereas the day before, and after, the moon was not under her feet. Also, above Virgo’s head are...Continue reading

Train Up a Child in the Way He Should Go. "What does it mean to train up a child in the way he should go?" Solomon’s advice to parents is to train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it (Proverbs 22:6). Raising and training a child within the context of this proverb means that it begins with the Bible, as all Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training (2 Timothy 3:16). Teaching children th...Continue reading

The Sabbath and the Marriage Bed. One of the most popular questions that is posed concerning Sabbath observance is whether or not it is proper for a husband and wife to engage in sexual relations during the Sabbath hours. This question was raised in response to a posting I made on the significance of the Sabbath. Although the Bible doesn’t answer this question directly, it does provide some key guidelines and principles that can help each couple come to a mutually satisfactio...Continue reading

My Opinion!? I am curious here for one of the BIGGEST lies that individuals in the body of Christ tell each other in the church daily or on the sabbath when they come together to worship. Is that they claim to have the love of God within them,and that is a blatant lie of the HIGHEST kind. The reason WHY I say this is founded in ( Psalms 51:5 : Kjv (...Continue reading
