ONE Truth

     Albert Schweitzer was a German Doctor who operated on sick African people.   I read a book about him for my home schooling.  He helped to cure Leprosy, and infections.  Those people in Africa needed lots of help.  Dr. Schweitzer hated cruelty.  Even fishing bothered him because it was harming a living thing.  He was a vegetarian all his life.  He hated to eat meat. 

    He loved to help people.  He lived in Africa almost all his life.  Once he got put in a prison camp because he was a German, and he was on French land in Africa during the war.  In all, Dr. Schweitzer built and helped to work in 3 hospitals in Africa.  The first hospital was made from a clean chicken coop.  He even helped a sick Pelican.  It's leg and wing were injured.  The Dr. helped the Pelican to fly, and it became his favorite pet. 




     The people in Africa loved Dr. Schweitzer.  So did a lot of the animals.  He said he was a Christian man.  He taught the African people to sing 'Jesus Loves Me."  But he was a hypocrite because he didn't believe that Jesus rose from the dead.   Albert Schweitzer did lots of good things, but that did not help him to go to Heaven.  The Bible says,

 

"After Jesus rose from the dead early on Sunday morning, the first person who saw him was Mary Magdalene,  the woman from whom he had cast out seven demons."   Mark 16:9          Albert Schweitzer did not believe the whole truth.  Neither do Mr. Sal and Miss Donna, some people who came to study the Bible with my Parents.  They were Jehovah's Witnesses.  There is only ONE Truth.  But Dr. Schweitzer didn't believe in it.  There are thousands and zillions of lies about religion.  But the Bible tells us the Truth, because it is the Word of God.  God inspired the people who wrote the Bible.          Dr. Schweitzer was kind and not prejudiced against the Africans.   He is a role model because of this.  But in the end, I think he was wrong.  He believed the lie that others told him about Jesus being only human.  Don't be like him.  Read the Bible for yourself.  Jesus died for us on the Cross, and He rose from the Dead on the Third Day.  Lots of people saw Jesus after He rose.  The apostles saw Him.  Mary saw Him.  They weren't lying about it because when they were killed, they still stuck to the story that Jesus raised up from the dead.  I wish I could have talked to Albert Schweitzer so I could have told him these things.  Jesus Christ was the Son of God, and will always be!       "Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." --John 14:6
