As I have on occasion noted, THERE SHOULD BE NO BREAK BETWEEN THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS, IN THAT THE NEW PICKS UP WHERE THE OLD ENDS. The two divinely-inspired testaments (witnesses) comprise one message from on high as dictated by God Himself, Who spoke to the Word (Jn. 1:1-4,14) Who, through the Holy Spirit, […]

Just as the Serpent eased into his deception of Adam and Eve without fanfare or warning, he is stealthily gaining control over the hearts (minds) of mankind by making his (Satan’s) ways appear to be “normal” and “in line” with the “common sense” of those who “have a functioning brain” who are on the “cutting […]

Daniel 7 and Revelation 17 reveal two beasts: The Roman Empire and the false church. During the Middle Ages the “second beast” (Catholicism), operating under the power of the “first beast” (Roman Empire) caused all of the people within the empire (most of Europe) to do two things: 1) to receive the “mark of the […]

From day one of the history of the New Testament Church God’s weekly Sabbath (Isa. 58:13) was observed on the seventh day of the week for the next 294 years. Then, in 325 A.D., Roman Emperor Constantine, at the Council of Nicene, changed the Sabbath from the seventh day to the first day of the […]

Simply put, God is love (1 Jn. 4:8). The Law is God’s love letter to His most prized creation–mankind. In His Law the Lord reveals to man how to spend eternity with man’s loving Creator. Sin is the transgression of God’s Law. Wrath is God’s response to the sinner’s negative attitude, words and actions relative […]

We are all well-versed in the subject of love which, unfortunately, mostly involves man’s love of self, which is in reality IDOLATRY, which God condemns in the first commandment. Man’s obsession with pleasing himself is expressed in a variety of ways. God uses one word to describe all of those ways–SIN. Therefore it is important […]

In First John 4:16 we are told that “God is love.” “Then why does He allow so much suffering to go on in the world?” is often the response to that statement. Why indeed? Before we get into that let us examine the “God is love” thesis. Looking around the world we find poverty, crime, […]

That Satan controls the vast majority of church people is proven by the Lord in His Holy Word. Further proof of that Biblical fact is proclaimed by both church and secular history, as well as by current events as, day after day, the world, specifically the so-called “Christian world,” decays before our eyes. How can […]

As noted in earlier postings, “evil” describes those who know the Truth but refuse to obey it. Jesus said that God’s Word is Truth (Jn. 17:17). Those who own the Truth (a Bible) but refuse to obey it are evil, as are those who, though calling themselves God’s people, refuse to hear His messengers who […]

“Evil” involves knowing to do right but deliberately doing wrong. “Evil” is deliberate, calculated and personally determined. In the Biblical realm, “evil,” though written about extensively, can be summed up in one passage spoken by the Lord Jesus Himself. In Mark 7:6-9 we find Jesus responding to a group of Pharisees and scribes who are […]
