I can’t remember when I was not told from pulpit and podium that salvation cannot be earned through works.  It was not until I was in my latter years that I learned, through my own, Holy Spirit-directed Bible study, that salvation cannot be attained without works.  The misunderstanding found among church people lies in their […]

In his letter to the church at Rome, the Apostle Paul–the author of most of the New Testament, the apostle to the Gentiles and, according to religious sin excusers, the most hypocritical man ever to stand behind a pulpit said the following in chapter 8, verses 13-22:  if we sin, we will die.  If we […]

In Romans 8:1-8 the Apostle Paul states repeatedly that those who walk in the flesh–continue to sin–cannot please God.  He is writing to the Church of God at Rome, each member of which has reportedly undergone a true conversion and is reportedly walking in the spiritual footsteps of Jesus Christ.  However, in 2:1-24 we find […]

In Romans 6:6 Paul–the supposed inveterate sinner–states concerning conversion: “KNOWING THIS, THAT THE OLD (SINNING) MAN WAS CRUCIFIED WITH CHIRST AND THAT THE BODY OF SIN WAS PUT TO DEATH.”  In verses 7,8 he states that the true convert is dead to sin, freed from its pull.  IF the convert is truly dead with Christ, […]

In order to characterize the Apostle Paul during the time of his ministry it is necessary to determine what happened to him soon after that encounter and how it affected the rest of his life.  Shortly after meeting Jesus on the road to Damascus Paul was converted and received God’s Holy Spirit, as do all […]

Since sin became a vital part of the Institutional Church hundreds of years ago, her go-to passage of Scripture by which she “proves” that sin among church people is both inevitable and irrelevant is Romans 7:8-8:1.  Billions of self-proclaimed “sinners saved by grace” have justified their sins by using what the Apostle Paul wrote about […]

I recently wrote about the times when God has “spoken” to me through His Holy Spirit, telling me things I did not previously know and had no other way of learning.  His “voice” is as clear spiritually as a human voice is audibly.  His messages come to me in a variety of forms such as […]

In 2007 I read a prophecy given by David Wilkerson, who, until his horrific and untimely death, was one of the world’s most revered preachers.  In this prophecy God showed him what was going to soon happen to the world because of the “wind” (sin) mankind has been sowing for 6000 years.  The “whirlwind” (Hos. […]

The female-ministry question has a God-spoken answer.  The Bible gives clear and definite guidelines regarding the position of women in the church, in the society and in the family.  The Apostle Paul, who received his gospel directly from Jesus Christ (Gal. 1:12), wrote this while under the power of the Holy Spirit (2 Pet. 1:21): […]

“What do you think about women preachers?” is a question often asked in religious circles.  A controversy has arisen concerning the question.  Should women be allowed to minister in the church, or not?  Some say yes, some say no.  Who is right?  In the past, most churches prohibited women from preaching or teaching.  Later, some […]
