Until the early 1930’s the Lord’s gospel had not been preached since the deaths of the 12 apostles. For approximately 1900 years the Institutional Church did not hear His Truth. Over the centuries only a tiny remnant of true believers have continued to embrace and proclaim it. Their numbers remained miniscule because both the Lord’s […]
Revelation, The End Of The Age And God’s Two Witnesses (Pt. 2)
Beginning with chapter 11 of the Book of Revelation we find the Apostle John, in spirit, being put forward in time to the final 3 1/2 years of the world’s final era–the “last end of the (God’s) indignation.” The Lord has been at odds with mankind in general and the church in particular for some […]
Revelation, The End Of The Age And God’s Two Witnesses (Pt. 1)
The Book of Revelation provides the Truth seeker with a view of future events that was given to the Apostle John about the time he he was codifying the books and letters written by the prophets and apostles that would become the Holy Bible. Jesus gave John the vision (revelation/apocalypse) and told him to preserve […]
God’s Very Elect: Future Judges And Rulers Of Angels (Pt. 3)
“What do angels look like?” is a question often asked. We must go to the Holy Scriptures to answer it. The Prophet Ezekiel provides a good description of the beings the Lord’s saints will judge and rule in His future kingdom. In 1:13,14 Ezekkiel describes what he had seen in a vision which gives us […]
God’s Very Elect: Future Judges And Rulers Of Angels (Pt. 2)
As stated in the previous posting, the Apostle Paul had to chastise the people in the church at Corinth for their failure to judge matters concerning the church, telling them, “Don’t you know that you will (one day) judge angels?” A similar statement was spoken by Jesus in John 10:33,34 concerning those who would obey […]
God’s Very Elect: Future Judges And Rulers Of Angels (Pt. 1)
The Holy Scriptures tell us that God’s first creations were angels, probably billions, perhaps trillions of them. He then created the earth and assigned the archangel Lucifer (light-bearer) and 1/3 of the angels the responsibility of caring for it. Lucifer and his angelic assistants rebelled against their Creator and the rest is history. The […]
“Why Is The Bible So Confusing?” #9– Cursed (Pt. F)
Perhaps the question most often asked by church people involves why good people suffer the same as bad people. The thinking is that, if God is good, and if He cares about good people as it says in the Bible, why do church people suffer the same as everyone else? Why do wars, floods, sicknesses, […]
“Why Is The Bible So Confusing?” #8– Denominations (Pt. E)
The confusion concerns why are there two divisions of Christianity and mini-divisions (denominations) numbering in the hundreds. This posting will answer that question. Ask any church person if he is a Christian and one will hear some derivation of: “Yes, I am a member of the _______” (fill in the blank with the name of […]
“Why Is The Bible So Confusing?” #7– Law (Pt. D)
As noted in the previous posting, sin is a personal choice to obey Satan and disobey God. And in that black and white form gray, gray is formed of black and white. Therefore, because obedience to God makes the believer one with God (Eph. 212-14), sin separates him from God (Isa. 59:2). No matter how […]
“Why Is The Bible So Confusing?” #6– Law (Pt. C)
Following the Lord’s initial act of grace known Biblically as “Justification”–the forgiveness of one’s past sins and the awarding of righteousness–the next step is CONVERSION, meaning to “turn around.” Having been justified/made righteous, one must totally abandon one’s former “walk”–thoughts, words and deeds–and “walk as He (Jesus) walked” (1 Jn. 2:6) while purifying oneself as […]
