The Holy Seed Church accepts the Bible as the only source of our beliefs. We always consider our movement to be the result of the protestant coercion sole scripture the Bible as the only standard of faith and practice for Christians.Currently, The Holy Seed Church hold 54 Fundamental beliefs that can be organized into seven categories the doctrines of God, man, salvation that church, the Christian’s life, culture and last day events. In each teaching God is the architect, who in wisdom, grace and infinite love is restoring a relationship with humanity that will haft for eternity.
WHO IS GOD? Despite the distance sin demands, God has revealed hill self in Countless ways. The Bible is the Story of God striving to reconnect with these Children, and is a major method God uses to reach us. A mosaic of authors, styles and perspectives the Bible reveals a God who is ever creative ever patient and ever-seeking to restore our relationship with him. Though written by or diary people, through the Spirit it pierces our hearts, opens our eyes and us to live for him. God the father reached his Son Jesus Christ who chose not just to visit us, but to become one of us. Born human so we can be reborn in the Spirit, Jesus should us God’s love and Character and how for God was willing to go to save us from self-destruction. What we could not do for ourselves, he did for us, dying in our place so we can live forever. He conquered death through resurrection, and promised to return to take us home.
Meanwhile, God has not left us alone The Holy Spirit is here to comfort us guide us and witnesses for God’s love. The same Spirit who in spired prophets and empowered Jesus Christ who shaped scripture and retested the world enables and empowers each one of us. The Spirit activates the “Body of Christ” the church, through Spiritual gifts and humble attitude of service and compassion.
EVERYTHING DESIGNED HAS A DESIGNER Computers also function through electrical impulses. But it took a human mind to invent the computer and a human being to build the computer and tell it what to do. No wonder the psalmist concluded that the human body speaks loud and clear of a wonderful Creator: “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Psalm 139:14. {Unless otherwise noted, all scriptural texts in the DISCOVER guides are from the New International Version of the Bible “NIV”.} We don’t have to go far to find the “works” of God. The intricate design of the human brain and the other organs of our body are the “works” of God, and point to an infinitely skillful designer. No pump built by man can compare with the human heart. No computer network can equal our nervous system. No television system is as efficient the human voice, ear, and eye. No central air conditioning and heating system can match the work done by our nose, lungs, and skin. The complexity of the human body suggests that someone designed it, and that someone is God. The human body is a complete system of organs all interrelated, all thoroughly designed. The lungs and heart, nerves and muscles, all perform incredibly complicated tasks that depend on other incredibly complicated tasks. If you were to mark ten coins from one to one ten, put them in your pocket, shake them around, and then pull them out and the back in your pocket one by one, what is the likelihood you could do so in exact numerical sequence? By mathematical law you have only one chance in ten billion of tasking them out in order from one to ten. Now consider the chances of a stomach, brain, heart, liver, arteries, veins, kidney, ears, eyes, and teeth all developing together and beginning to function at the same moment in time. What is the most reasonable explanation for the design of the human body? “Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, in our likeness,’
So God created man in his own image,
EVERYTHING MADE HAS A MAKER
“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands” Psalm 19:1-3. What may we reasonably conclude by looking at the intricate design and vast size of the universe? “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1. “[God] is before all things, and in him all things hold together.” Colossians 1:17. The Bible does not attempt to prove God it declares his existence. Dr. Arthur Conklin, a noted biologist, once wrote: “The probability of life originating from an accident is comparable to the probability of an unabridged dictionary resulting from an explosion in a print shop.” We know that human beings can’t make something from nothing. We may build things, invent things, put things together, but we have never brought into being from scratch even the tiniest frog or the simplest flower. The things about us cry out that God designed, God created, God sustains. The only believable answer to the origin of the universe, this world, and human beings is God.
GOD COMES INTO PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH PEOPLE We have all wrestled with the idea of God, for humans are naturally religious. No animal ever builds an altar for worship. Yet everywhere you find men and women, you find them worshiping. Deep within every human heart is a natural desire to worship, an awareness of God, a desire to become a friend of God. When we respond to our longing and find God, there is no longer a doubt about his existence and our need. During the 1990s millions of atheists in Russia renounced atheism and turned to God. A university professor in St. Petersburg made a statement that typifies the comments made by many transformed atheists in the former Soviet Union: “I have searched for a meaning to life in my scientific research, but found nothing to have confidence in. the scientists around me have confidence in. the scientists around me have the same empty feeling. As I looked at the vastness of the universe in my study of astronomy, and the emptiness of my soul I felt there must be some meaning. Then, when I received the Bible you gave me and began reading it, the vacuum in my life was filled. I have found the Bible to be the only source of confidence to my soul. I have accepted Jesus as my Savior and have found true peace and satisfaction in life.” A Christian believes in the God because he or she has met him and discovers that he satisfies the heart’s deepest needs. The God, whom Christians have joyfully found to exist, gives us a new perspective, new meaning, new motives, and new joys. God doesn’t promise a life free from trouble and conflict, but he does assure us that he will guide and sustain us if we come into a personal relationship with him. And millions of Christians will testify that they would give up everything rather than go back to a life without God. This is the greatest wonder of all that the Almighty God designed, created, and sustains the universe also desires a personal relationship with every man and woman, body and girl. David marveled at this, when he wrote: “When I consider your heaves, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him?” Psalm 8:3, 4. Our Creator is “mindful” of each one of us. He takes as personal an interest in you as if you were the only being he had created. So we can believe in God: Because of the intricate design in everything he created about us. Because of the longing for God within us that leaves us restless till we find our rest in him. And, because when we seek and find him, God satisfies our every need and longing to the full!
WHAT KIND OF GOD IS HE? “so God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him.” Genesis 1:27. Since we are made in God’s image, our abilities to reflect and feel, to remember and hope, to ponder and analyze all are derived from him. What is God’s dominant trait? “God is Love.” 1st John 4:8. God relates to human beings out of his own heart of love. There is nothing he has done or ever will do which is not motivated by a selfless, sacrificial love. HOW JESUS REVEALS WHAT GOD IS LIKE In the Bible God repeatedly speaks of himself as a father. “Have we not all one father? Did not one God create us?” Malachi 2:10. Some of the father images we see today are anything but desirable. There are neglectful dads, abusive dads. Gods is not like that. He is a caring, sensitive Father. He is the kind of Dad who loves to play games with his son or daughter, the kind of Dad who charms his kinds by telling wonderful bedtime stories. Our loving Father wanted to want to do more than reveal Himself through the words of scripture. He knew that a person we live with is much more real to us than someone we only hear about or read about in a book. So he came to our world as a real person the person of Jesus. “(Jesus) is the image of the invisible God.” Colossians 1:15. So if you have seen Jesus, you have seen God. He came down on our level he became like us so He could teach us how to live and be happy, and so we could see what God is really like. Jesus is God made visible. He Himself said, “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father” {John 14:9). As you read the story of Jesus in the four Gospels, the first four books of the New Testament, you will discover a fascinating portrait of our heavenly Father. Rough fishermen dropped their nets to follow Christ, and small children flocked to receive his blessing. He could comfort the most devastated sinner and disarm the most self-righteous hypocrite. He healed everything from blindness to leprosy. In all his actions Jesus demonstrated that God is love! He met human need in a way no one had ever done before him or has since!
Jesus’ final glorious revelation of what God is like happened at the cross.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but eternal life.” John 3:16. You can discover God right now as Jesus reveals him. That discovery will lead you to make a very personal affirmation: “Father, I love you!”
