In the series titled Who Are God’s People (key word–People), the Almighty reveals that those whom God calls “My people, who are called by My name” are not all His children, that only a minutely few of the billions of professing believers are in fact disciples of Christ–true “Christians,” meaning “little Christs.” The Holy Scriptures […]

In the Holy Scriptures the Almighty uses the word “bad” 18 times. The word “evil” appears over 600 times. Biblically as well as socially, the word “bad” is used when what is being referred to is an inanimate object. A bad thing doesn’t know bad from good and has no way to change itself. Bad […]

Scripturally, one either overcomes Satan and obeys God or is overcome by Satan and obeys him. We must learn to view all things in this life through God’s eyes and according to His standards. Unregenerate man views all things through Satan’s eyes, which he believes is his (man’s) own eyes. Unless a man’s mind is […]

In Revelation 3:21 Jesus tells those of us living in the final (Laodicean) age of the church (and the world as we know it) that we have two choices relative to the eternal future following His return to earth: 1) to overcome Satan or 2) to be overcome by Him. The Lord Jesus promises those […]

The subject of this posting is the most misunderstood and most deadly of the theological errors embraced by professing Christendom. Contrary to near-universal church opinion, CHRIST’S DEATH DOES NOT SAVE US; WE ARE SAVED BY HIS LIFE AS HIS LIFE IS LIVED IN US (Rom. 5:10). This is what is meant by the statement found […]

At this time let us take a moment to reflect upon what the Lord has told us so far in this series: The wounds that Jesus suffered were for the healing of the believer’s body (Isa. 53:5). The blood He shed during the ordeal which culminated in His death was for the forgiveness of the […]

We will examine the three primary results in reverse order of importance. Number three in importance is mentioned in Isaiah 53:5 where we are promised that our bodies would be healed by the stripes Christ received during the incredible beating He endured prior to His crucifixion. It is noted that He was beaten and his […]

In the previous segments of this series I mentioned the fact that salvation seekers have, under Satan’s direction, misunderstood many Scriptural passages, and as a result, have spent their church lives serving him, all the while believing that they were serving the Biblical God. In Hebrews 10:10 and 12 we are told that, upon His […]

As stated in the Holy Scriptures, the forgiveness of sins can be accomplished only through the shedding of blood. This law was established in the Garden of Eden and practiced among the Israelites until, during the Last Supper, Jesus announced the end of the sacrificial system involving the blood of animals for removal of sins. […]

In the Garden of Eden the God of the Old Testament–the God who created all things, spoke with man face-to-face, led Israel out of Egypt, gave the Law to them and us from atop Mt. Sinai and later came to earth as Jesus Christ (the Word–Jn. 1:1-4,14)–shed the blood of animals in order to cover […]
