The Heresy of the Reformers

John 3:36 “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever DOES NOT OBEY the Son SHALL NOT SEE LIFE, but the wrath of God remains on him.” ?? What John, (the hand-chosen Apostle of Jesus Christ), said. Notice how “believes” and “obeys the Son” are synonyms, in that John mak

The Kindness and Severity of God

Romans 11:22 Behold the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen away, but God's kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off. Above is one of the many passages that ‘reformed’ doctrine omits from the ear

The Keys to the Kingdom

At Caesarea Philippi, also known as the “Gates of Hell”, Jesus is gathered alone with the Twelve in Matthew 16. Jesus is asking these chosen Apostles, “Who are people saying that I am?” Peter, with revelation knowledge answers Jesus, saying, “Master, You are the Christ the Son of

The Copper Serpent: Idolatry in the Temple

Numbers 21:6-9 So the LORD sent poisonous snakes among the people, and they bit the people; many people of Israel died. Then the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD and against you. Pray to the LORD that he would take away the snake

Faith? What is it?

What is FAITH? “Preachers” talk about “Faith” in Jesus? Does the Bible teach it is some cognitive recognition of the fact that Jesus is the Son of God? Does it teach, as many heretics and false teachers are heralding, that Faith in Jesus means that you profess Him, and that what

This is Grace

1 Peter 2:19 “For this is grace (charis), when, mindful of God, one endures sorrows while suffering unjustly.“ There are a lot of voices telling people what Grace is. Some says it is some “covering for sin”. Some say it is where God excuses our humanity and sin issues, because of

Blessed are the Peacemakers

“Blessed are the PEACEMAKERS for they will be called the children of God.”-Matthew 5:9 Notice Jesus didn’t say “peaceKEEPERS.” There is a huge difference in the two terms. A peaceKEEPER is a cowardly, passive nature that is tolerant of negative behavior, so as not to have to addr

Nicolaitans?

Tattoos: Set Apart or Self Indulgence?

But what does Jesus’ love have to do with your love and obedience to Him? “Jesus’ Tattoo Parlor???” Although this title is ridiculous, many today professing love and devotion to Christ live as if Jesus would actually run a place like that, citing that “we are not under law, but u

Left Behind?

Is it Biblical? Does the Bible teach that the lost, rebellious people who have rejected Christ’s offer of salvation, through the obedience of the faith, to be the ones that get LEFT BEHIND? You know the books and movies by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins? The movie starred Kirk Came

Temple or Tower?

Where Does Christ Say We Worship, and Who? In the Garden, a type of Temple personified, you had a man and his wife created in purity by God, and they walked with God in this paradise, worshiping (serving) God in tending to the work they were called to do: reproducing offspring an

Counting the Cost of Discipleship

Looking at the spread of Christianity in antiquity, the earliest known document we have addressing it was written by the Roman Governor of Bithynia, Pliny the Younger, in 110 A.D. He writes: “For the matter seemed to me to warrant consulting you, especially because of the number

1 Corinthians 14

1 Corinthians 14 is a chapter of much debate and confusion addressing the subject of speaking in tongues, a gift of grace new to the New Testament, from Acts 2 onward. So, why would Paul have need to spend so much time on sorting out issues arising from this one gift in this chur

Delusions of Grandeur

Ruins at Corinth The subject of speaking in tongues is a hotbed of controversy to say the least, but when it comes to the Word of God, our feelings, various views and opinions, and personal or spiritual experiences must bow! A minister once said to me, " Son, if you ever speak in
