The Ever Important Doctrine of Salvation
Feminism is a huge problem in the world today. Yet at the same time, it has been mocked lately for the other “progressive” ventures it has supported, that now are undermining it. Hilarious! Now “men” are competing in women’s sports and dominating, and being called “woman of the y
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
Mark 9:30-35 - They went on from there and passed through Galilee. And he did not want anyone to know, for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him. And when he is killed, after three day
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
Luke 6:26 “Woe to you when all people speak well of you, for their ancestors did the same things to the false prophets.” I could stop right there. I mean, leave it to Jesus to drop the proverbial atomic bomb on people-pleasing preachers. You know what He just said there? “When ev
Luke 6:46-49 “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you? This statement of Jesus is one of hundreds that you never hear mentioned in so-called churches today. This one passage alone stands against most false teaching called “Christianity” today. Sadly the pletho
Malachi 3:8-11 Can a person rob God? You indeed are robbing Me, but you say, ʻHow are we robbing you?ʼ In tithes and contributions! You are bound for judgment because you are robbing me - this whole nation is guilty. “Bring the entire tithe into the storehouse so that there may b
Within some circles, and especially Calvinistic theology, it is taught that the answer to the title question is “YES”, but nothing is further from the truth. Throughout the scripture there is example after example of places where God foreknew an outcome, yet that outcome DID NOT
Vaccines and Pharmaceuticals: a Biblical Perspective
Galatians 6:7-8 Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. As an old farmer once said t
Proverbs 1:7 declares the key to the Biblical understanding. The passage says..... Proverbs 1:7 “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.” The phrase is repeated many times in Proverbs, stating the same concept using different term
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
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
When your hear or see the word, “apocalypse”, what comes to mind? Growing up in American movie entertainment, the term presents an entire genre of films based around the end of the world. A mega-hit that immediately arises, with a term often synonymous in our culture, is “Armaged
Should new converts and unprepared believers be allowed to “open air” teach God’s Word? 1 Timothy 3:6 “He (leadership) must not be a novice or recent convert or he may become arrogant and fall into the punishment that the devil will exact.” A constant problem in today’s western c
“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
Here is an excerpt from the writings of Justin Martyr on the Nicolaitans, and the namesakes of various other similar, false teachers, and the doctrines formed of their opinions. Justin Martyr (in Dialogue with Trypho, 35) discusses the fact "that many of those who say that they c
Jewish boy displaying the tefillin As per usual, “Facebook Christianity“ is being overrun with what is called “Newspaper Hermeneutics” by biblical scholars. It is the biblically illiterate art of taking every current newspaper headline, and trying to predict the prophecies of the
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
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
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
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 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
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
The Traditional Garden Tomb in Jerusalem- Gordon's Calvary A trip to Israel to walk upon the Holy Land is life-changing to say the least. In many ways, words cannot articulate what it does to a person. There is something spiritually rich about that land. Jesus' life played out th
To the church of Sardis in Revelation 3, Jesus said: "I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead!" They had given themselves this name that they were living up to and declaring about themselves that they "live", or were in right standing with Chr
Jesus told the church at Ephesus in Revelation 2:4... "Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love." What was this first love He said they left? Was it their love for Him, Jesus? In context, the previous two verses completely dispel that thought... Re
You hear it all the time: "Sin is sin and no one sin is greater than another." That kinda stuff is preached from pulpits in this present age, as if Truth! But hopefully done in ignorance. Is this really what the Bible tells us? There are several distinct Hebrew words with unique
Matthew 6:22 -23 “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness?" Anyone beside
A heretical gospel void of works..... Today's gospel in America is not Jesus' gospel. Today's gospel is about "self" and based on certain scriptures pulled out of context while others are completely ignored. Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and tha
Matthew 16:18 "And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." The ruins of the Temple of Pan For years I would study the Bible and it appeared to me, through my ignorance of Biblical culture and languag
