Time Travelers

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Do not be carried
about with various and strange doctrines. - Hebrews 13:8-9.

I was fascinated today by a story about a 1928 Charlie Chaplin silent film.
George Clarke, who is a filmmaker and also a Chaplin fan, bought a
collection of Chaplin films on DVD, and found something verry, verry,
interesting. What Clarke stumbled onto is what appears to be an older woman
talking on something similar to a cell phone. At the very end of the clip,
when the woman turns toward the camera, her lips do appear to be moving. One
obvious explanation of the scene would be that it is a time traveler. Of
course, they did not have cell towers back then; however, a time traveler
would probably have access to technology that might be more advanced than
what we have today. Various explanations have been offered, and you can read
many of them at the youtube link to the video of the clip at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DF8WF3vGUn8

We do know that time travel is possible, because it has been done before. In
the opening of the Gospel of John we are told this, "In the beginning was
the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the
beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him
nothing was made that was made (John 1:1-3)." In 1 Timothy 6:14-15 the Bible
says, "that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord
Jesus Christ's appearing, which He will manifest in His own time, He who is
the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords." Then
in Revelation 19 we are told, "Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white
horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in
righteousness He judges and makes war. .He was clothed with a robe dipped in
blood, and His name is called The Word of God. .And He has on His robe and
on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS."

Jesus was present in the beginning. Jesus was present upon this earth as the
Son of Man who suffered and died for our sins, and Jesus will be present
upon this earth at the end as the conqueror who will defeat all of the
enemies of God.

Jesus does not need a cell phone, or any other device, to communicate across
the centuries of time. There are an increasing number of strange, and even
bizarre doctrines emerging, that appear to have a substantial number of
followers. Beware of anything, or anyone who seeks to marginalize the
importance of Jesus.

There is only one Jesus Christ; but there have been, there are, and will be
many imposters who seek to add to the Gospel just like the Judaizers of the
days of the apostle Paul. The apostle Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 11 to the
church at Corinth, "But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by
his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is
in Christ. For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not
preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received,
or a different gospel which you have not accepted - you may well put up with
it!"

We need to always remember that, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today,
and forever."
