COUNTERFEIT– a copy (imitation/close resemblance) made to resemble something genuine for the purpose of deception.  The closer the counterfeit (fake) is to the real determines how effective the ruse will be.  The faker’s success depends on the fakees’ knowledge of the real.  Money is a prime example.  According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), […]

In 2 Peter 3:1,2 the apostle tells salvation seekers to “stir up” their pure minds by studying what he, the other apostles and prophets wrote.  By filling our minds with God’s Word we force out all other thoughts, thereby cleansing our minds.  The Apostle Paul spoke to this Truth, telling the church that God sanctifies […]

“Ground Zero” is globally known as the epicenter for whatever the subject happens to be.  In the realm of spiritual warfare, the epicenter is the mind, Biblically known as the “heart.”  It is from the mind that all things, whether good or evil, arise.  Spiritually, whatever follows the thought is the “fruit” produced by the […]

The Scientific world tells us that the human body reproduces itself every seven years.  Every cell eventually wears out and is replaced by the same kind of cell.  Questions in the physical realm involve 1) the health of the cell that is being replaced and 2), the health of the replacement cell.  The truth relative […]

Continuing with the expose’ of Satan’s heathen doctrines by comparing them to God’s Spirit-inspired Word. SATAN: “Christ will affect a secret rapture in which He will take all Christians back to heaven with Him.”  God: Upon Christ’s Second Advent, everyone on earth will see Him appear in the clouds.  His enemies will wail as His […]

We continue with the church-Bible comparison relative to doctrines and practices. SATAN: “God made the New Covenant with Gentiles and it includes neither Israelites nor the Law.”  GOD: “I will make a New Covenant with the House of Israel and the House of Judah … I will write My Law in their hearts” (Jer. 31:31-33/ […]

In the previous posting we found the Lord telling Ezekiel that there were two kinds of “wood” in a forest–trees and vines.  Though both were made of the same substance, one was useful for His work as ambassadors for Him through obedience to His Words.  The other, He said, was useless and served no purpose.  […]

Biblically, one who herds sheep is called a shepherd (sheep herder).  The fact that there are goats among the sheep, even outnumbering them, does not change the description of the one who drives the herd to where grass and water can be found.  A “sheep herd” is a sheep herd, even if it is known […]

In Ezekiel 14:1 we find that certain elders of Israel have come to the prophet in order to hear words from God.  Before they could speak to the prophet, God spoke to him regarding the spiritual condition of the men sitting before him.  In short, they had allowed Satan to take over their minds.  He […]
