Within two years of the establishment of the New Testament Church in 31 A.D. men were already working to fundamentally transform her by conjoining the teachings of Jesus Christ to the pagan gods, beliefs and practices of Babylonian Mystery religions which, over time, came to dominate the theology of what came to be called Christianity.  […]

In the first posting of this series we studied the first application of God’s message to salvation seeking man which was “OBEY MY WORD.”  Now we will fast forward to the end of the age when Jesus will return to end this present world and create the Kingdom of God from which He and his […]

Beginning with the creation of Adam, man has always dealt personally with the same God Who has had the same message for all men at all times.  The God that Adam and Eve spoke with face-to-fact is the same God that spoke face-to-face with Abraham and Jacob and the same God Who lived with, taught […]

In the fourth chapter of the Book of Genesis we find that Adam and Eve’s first son has killed their second son and buried him in the ground.  In verse 9 God is questioning Cain as to the whereabouts of his brother Abel.  After lying to the Lord, Cain asks the question that mankind should […]

Background on Scripture production. The method God uses to speak to man through His written Word is as follows: The spirit God (Yehweh) spoke to His co-God (Adonai–the Word–Jn. 1:1-4,14) through the Holy Spirit.  Read The God of the Old Testament.  Key word–Old.  The Word spoke God’s Words to the prophets by way of the […]

Now that we know what sanctification is and that one must be sanctified in order to inherit eternal life, the final step is to learn how to enter into sainthood.  Jesus Christ tells us how in John 17:6-20.  Let us go there and pick up the Lord’s prayer to the Father after He and the […]

In the ninth chapter of John’s gospel beginning with verse 14 we find John’s disciples speaking with Jesus, whom John had identified as God’s Messiah.  They were wondering why they fasted often but His disciples did not fast at all.  The Lord’s answer has much to do with the “walk” (thoughts, words and acts–the totality […]

In Matthew 7:22,23 Jesus has warned false prophets and false parishioners of their fate.  He specifically warns them that in failing to obey His Law (iniquity) they are sinning (1 Jn. 3:4).  Sin, the Apostle Paul tells us, produces death.  But before physical life-ending death comes to the sinner, other forms of “death” will plague […]
