According to church tradition, the nation of Israel having been (re)born in 1948, the next event to take place as proof that the Messiah would soon return to earth would be the (re)building of the Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Since, and even before, 1948 Jewish people from all over the world […]
The Temple
One of the foundational beliefs of professing Christendom is that Jesus will return to God’s Temple located on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The problem lies in the fact that a Muslim temple occupies the space God’s Temple is supposed to be located at the time of His advent. Adding to the problem is the […]
Biblephobia (cont. 1)
When Adam and Eve sinned they broke the face-to-face pattern of communication established by God. This process was destined to hold true except in extremely rare exceptions as noted in the Old Testament. Leading up to the establishment of the New Covenant Church in 31 A.D., Jesus came to earth and communicated with man as […]
Biblephobia
Phobia: Aversion to or fear of any specified object or situation. Webster’s Concise Dictionary, Encyclopedic Edition. The word “unreasonable” is also used in reference to the condition described above. I use the word “Biblephobia” to describe those who own, carry, read, quote from, witness about, etc. God’s Word but who are adamantly averse to and […]
The Conscience (cont. 3)
Due to having established hundreds of “churches,” each with its own concept of right and wrong, Satan has any number of ways by which he can bring conviction on his proselytes. I once heard of a church that condemned the drinking of hot chocolate. Catholics feel guilty for missing mass. Some churches believe that baptism […]
The Conscience (Cont. 2)
How many of us have been told by well-meaning people that we are to “Let your conscience be your guide.” This works fine IF our conscience is founded on God’s Word. There is a false belief that for those in “the church,” their conscience is automatically geared to His Truth. This makes for a good […]
The Conscience (cont. 1)
The “things of man” are found in abundance in two distinct locations: the unchurched world and the churched world, both of which dine at the same trough on spiritual food supplied by Satan. God warned the church early on about Satan injecting his food (doctrines) into her theology: “Now the Spirit says expressly that in […]
The Conscience
Conscience: The faculty by which one distinguishes between right and wrong–Webster’s Concise Dictionary, Encyclopedic Edition. In the social realm of person-to-person relationships our conscience tells us what is right or wrong relative to the attitude of those around us. Most societies have both written laws and unwritten customs designed to remind their citizens of what […]
Cognitive Dissonance (cont. 2)
Today I marvel at God’s patience and longsuffering. He never withdrew His call on my life. This website is in a sense written testimony about the walk He called me to walk so many years ago, which is generally speaking the same walk He has called everyone to take in that He is not a […]
Cognitive Dissonance (Cont. 1)
In Exodus 19:5/Deuteronomy 14:2/Psalms 135:4/Titus 2:14/1Peter 2:9 God characterizes His true children in a totally different way than do church people when describing their own. The church takes great pride in being “everyman,” common, one of the people, able to fit into any situation so as to be accepted by those around her. God, on […]
