In Exodus 20 we find the Prophet Moses, having met with the Lord atop Mt. Sinai, presenting the nation of Israel His Ten Commandment Law which He had written in stone, thereby making them permanent.  His use of the word “commandment” indicates that there is no alternative, no exception.  What God commands must be obeyed […]

(5) THE RAPTURE:  In the distant past a Scottish woman named Margaret McDonald had a dream in which all Catholics were taken up to heaven just before the Great Tribulation began.  When she shared her dream with her priest he concluded that god had spoken to her.  He immediately shared Margaret’s “vision from God” with […]

(4) INSTANT SALVATION:  A Youth Revival was being broadcast on t.v.  Some attendees had brought a “lost” friend to hear the preacher in hopes that he would “get saved” during the meeting.  Following the sermon and the “alter call” (unheard of in the early church),  the “lost” boy was brought up on stage.  When asked […]

(3) ORIGINAL SIN:  Who was the first sinner?  Who was the first to break God’s Law?  The answer is Lucifer, the most incredible angel God ever created.  So magnificent was he that the Lord God Almighty called him “son of the morning” (morning star)–Isa. 14:12.  Nowhere are we told that Lucifer was created anything less […]

(2) THE LAW:  What relationship, if any, does salvation have with the Law?  Jesus answered the question as recorded in Luke 10:26 where a lawyer has asked Him what he must do to be saved.  Jesus answered with a question: “What does it say in the LAW?”  He was saying that there is a cause […]

In Galatians 1:6-9 the Apostle Paul warned salvation seekers about a perverted gospel that had become popular throughout the Lord’s church system.  The early church ignored Paul’s message.  Her modern day counterparts not only ignore the apostle’s dire warning, but in fact reject it, along with most of the Truths written by him and his […]

The Almighty demands strict obedience to His Law/Word/Truth/Gospel/Will.  Time and time again He tells salvation seekers that in order to inherit His promised salvation in the future and to receive His promised blessings in the present one must obey His Law from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21.  Such obedience causes Him and His Son to […]

In order to fully understand the connection between not contending for the faith and denying the Lord, we will examine the focal passage (Jude 1-4).  It is important that we recognize to whom and about whom the epistle was written. In verse one Jude reminded his readers that he was a true, God-called, God-appointed, God- […]

The Old Testament prophets, the New Testament apostles and their modern day ministerial descendants all marched and continue to march to the same drummer Whose name is God and Whose Will is written in His Book of Truth (Jn. 17:17) known as the Holy Bible.  This almighty Creator of all things is the same yesterday, […]

In Mark 2:27 Jesus of Nazareth tells the world that “The Sabbath was made for man.”  Notice that THE (one and only weekly) Sabbath was MADE by the Maker of the universe (Genesis 1,2) (specifically) FOR MAN.  The Biblical Sabbath is not, as we are told, a “Jewish thing.”  There were were no Jews in […]
