When the Almighty created the Garden of Eden He provided its first two inhabitants with all manner of trees from which they could eat.  Each of the trees was “pleasing to the sight and good for food.”  In the midst of the garden He placed two special trees–the tree of life and the tree of […]

Before examining tongues deniers’ attack on the Apostle Paul and his writings, let us understand the relationship among Paul, the Holy Spirit and God.  As I prove conclusively in the series titled The Trinity, which I ask all readers to read, the Holy Spirit is not a God, nor is it a member of a […]

Few things in the spiritual realm can cause as much religious indignation, anger, consternation, rejection and hatred as the tongues question.  The reason is that it makes no sense on the human level.  Human beings pride themselves on their intellectual capacity.  I know uber religious people who will adamantly deny a statement or a series […]

In Revelation 20:5 we are told when the second resurrection will take place: “But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years (millennium) were finished.”  The last part of verse five refers to verse six which describes those who arose in the first resurrection–God’s saints.  As noted, these are priests of […]

God tells us in His Word that everything will change when Jesus returns to this earth.  One such change is put forth in Zepheniah 3:9 where we are told that during the Millennium the world will speak one pure language.  In today’s world some languages, probably most, are a mixture of several tongues, dialects and […]

Looking to the not-t00-distant future we find this scenario: the resurrection of God’s saints has taken place.  Jesus has established the Kingdom of God on earth and ended the worst period of time in man’s history (the Great Tribulation and the Day of the Lord–the Book of Revelation manifested).  It is now time to transform […]

As noted in the previous postings, man does not have a soul; man is a soul.  It is the soul (man himself) that dies, is buried and returns to dust.  It is his spirit, and the spirits of all who have died, that return to God Who gave them.  We have all sinned.  Therefore we […]

The confusion within the religious community regarding the soul revolves around the identities of man’s soul and his spirit.  Man does not HAVE a soul; man IS a soul.  Man dies because of sin.  The soul dies because of sin.  That man and soul are one in the same is made clear in Ezekiel 18:4,20 […]

An old hymn which I sung many times in my youth tells about going to heaven “where the soul of man never dies.”  The immortality of man’s soul has been preached since the first false prophet uttered the first lie spoken during the first false sermon which took place in the Garden of Eden.  This […]

In Romans 6:2,11 the Almighty (through the Apostle Paul) tells us that if we are truly converted (not saved–see Hope and Salvation) we are “dead to sin” and, because of this deadness, we will “live with Christ” in the hereafter (vs 8).  Beginning with verse 11 Paul makes abundantly clear the fact that, following conversion, […]
