The goal of this Truth and Art project is “Education Inspiration and Empowerment” and to cover Christian faith topics as well as political, culture, psychology, music and other topics.
T&A is not a church organization in any way, but since Christian churches and organizations world-wide traditionally have a so-called “Statement of Faith” page on their websites the decision was made to create a page with a list of faith beliefs for the sake of visitors who may want to know what general beliefs guide this platform.
The statement below is not intended to condemn or frown upon Christians who may have slightly different faith beliefs and is intended strictly for informational purposes only.
T&A BELIEVES:
There is ONE God who exists in 3 divine expressions known as the trinity, which consists of the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit
God is sovereign, unchanging and eternal. He is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent and He created the heavens and the earth in 7 days as detailed in the book of Genesis
God created sovereign man in His image, the first man Adam
The fall of mankind took place in the Garden of Eden when Adam and Eve disobeyed God and this trespass introduced sin into the world
Once sin was introduced into the world, mankind has been separated from God and this fall is the source of death, pain and all forms of human and animal suffering
Satan is real, he tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden, he is against God and is a fallen angel who took a third of the angels in his rebellion against God
Hell is real. It is a place of suffering and eternal damnation reserved for Satan, fallen angels and those who are to be separated from God forever.
The Bible is the authentic written document provided by God by divine inspiration for instruction edification and guidance to all humankind, and it includes both Old and New Testament.
God the Father sent His only Son to earth in the form of Jesus Christ to redeem mankind from the fallen state.
Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, died via crucifixion, rose again on the third day, and while on earth He was both fully God and fully man
The death and resurrection of Jesus was a sacrifice and atonement for humanity's fallen state, so that anyone who truly believes in Jesus and puts all their trust in Him will be saved (this is a future event) from the physical and spiritual course of death that every person would otherwise be subjected to
Jesus Christ ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father
Truly believing in Jesus is not just an intellectual process but is evidenced by an inward and outward transformation only made possible through the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives, and which Jesus referred to as being "born again" - this is very different from so-called "easy believism" which is only an intellectual alignment with Christian beliefs
God sent His Spirit to dwell inside of believers, and this Holy Spirit provides understanding, empowerment, strength, discernment and other spiritual gifts for those who walk in the Spirit.
The Church is the body of Christ, it is made up of true believers worldwide and it is called to share the good news of the Gospel in love and to love and care for others regardless of their beliefs, race, gender, financial status, political beliefs or morality
We are in the Last Days, a period marking the coming end of time. Prophetic events serve as signs of the times to encourage believers
Jesus is coming back to remove His Church from the earth at some point before, during or at the end of a 7 year period known as the tribulation
No one knows the day or hour of Christ's return
God exercises His sovereignty over nations and global leaders to guide us towards anticipated prophetic events
God's promises to Abraham and Israel are irrevocable and we are currently in the time of the Gentiles which will soon come to a conclusion
God allowed the restoration of Israel as a nation in 1948 consistent with end times prophecies and His promises to Israel. This restoration is one among other prophetic timepieces to His people - This does not imply mandatory support for Israel as a nation is required. Conversely, T&A strongly condemns antisemitism or the idea of blaming Israel for everything bad in the world, as some do.
Jesus will physically return to earth, defend the remnant of Israel and defeat their enemies for His name's sake and this will occur before the beginning of the 1000 year reign of Christ on earth
These are strictly the views beliefs and opinions of T&A. Loving God, loving neighbor as yourself and helping others especially those in need is far more important than detailed theological beliefs.
