Most American and Taiwanese Christian protestant denominations believe that one is saved by belief in Jesus alone. However in the bible is says clearly In Janes 2 24" You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone." [image] James 2:24 - Bible Gateway …

Many people wonder, “Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going?” Our Eternal Father did not send us to earth on an aimless, meaningless journey. He provided for us a plan to follow. He is the author of that plan. It is designed for man’s progress and ultimate salvation and exaltati…

This story asks us to re-evaluate what the Sabbath is really for. Nothing in this story tells us we don’t need to observe it at all. It’s literally one of the 10 Commands all Christians say are at the foundation of their faith. And nowhere in the Bible says we should celebrate a “Lord’s Day” on Sund…
