Chapter 2 Verses eight and nine: Note the difference between Jesus Who leads in the ways of God and the false prophets who teach and lead those in the Institutional Church (Catholicism/Protestantism) in ways that are “not according to (the Words and deeds of) Christ.” Simply put, if anyone professing to be of the Lord says anything or walks in […]
The Apostle Paul’s Epistle To The Colossians (Ch. 2)
Chapter two Verses four through eight: In verses 4 and 8 the Apostle Paul warns the church at Colosse (and all other churches then and now) to beware of false prophets who would deceive them with persuasive words, who would cheat them out of their inheritance (salvation) through philosophy (false wisdom) and outright deceit which […]
The Apostle Paul’s Epistle To The Colossians (Ch. 1)
Chapter 1 Verses twenty-four through twenty-nine: In this passage Paul spends considerable time reminding the church that he has suffered much in order to bring God’s Word to them. In verse 24 he reminds them that the church is the body of Christ–a sobering reality when one considers the fact that the body follows the […]
The Apostle Paul’s Epistle To The Colossians (Ch. 1)
Chapter 1 Verses twelve and thirteen: Note the dichotomy between the two kingdoms–light and darkness. God’s saints walk in His light (Jesus: “I am the light of the world”) which qualifies them to receive the inheritance He has provided for us–salvation in God’s kingdom. Salvation is possible only because He has “delivered us from the power of darkness”–Satan’s […]
The Apostle Paul’s Epistle To The Colossians (Ch. 1)
Chapter I Verses four through eight: In this passage we find the Word of God exalted as it always should be. In verse 4 is mentioned FAITH in Jesus Christ, meaning belief in His Word (Rom. 10:17). Faith in Jesus refers to believing that what He said (Genesis to Revelation) is Truth which was given to Him by […]
The Apostle Paul’s Epistle To The Colossians (Ch. 1)
As is noted in this letter to the church at Colosse, the apostles’ epistles (letters) to specific churches scattered throughout the Roman Empire were routinely circulated among the churches so that each church eventually received each of the letters. As will be noted by a careful study of those letters, all churches had problems of one type or another. Therefore, regardless of the focus […]
Jesus Christ: The Church’s Rock Of Offense (Pt. 3)
Anciently, the Father noted that the Word had become a Stone of stumbling and a Rock of offense to Israel because they refused to obey Him (Isa. 8:14). He stated in Deuteronomy 32:4 that by disobeying Him they had “lightly esteemed” Him by rejecting His lordship over them. When God established the New Covenant Church […]
Jesus Christ: The Church’s Rock Of Offense (Pt. 2)
The Word (Jn. 1:1-4,14) was the God of the Old Testament Who operated anciently in the same manner as He would generations later when He came to earth as Jesus of Nazareth–He would be totally dependent upon His Father (Jn. 8:26-29). Moses said of Israel’s God: “He is the Rock; His WORK is perfect” (Deut. 32:4). Jesus said that He came to finish […]
Jesus Christ: The Church’s Rock Of Offense (Pt. 1)
MISSION STATEMENT: As I reflect on the Lord’s ministerial call on my life He continually assures me that I have in fact heard His instructions to deliver His Word to the Institutional Church as an end-time warning. As readers of this website and visitors to my YouTube site (proveallthingsofgod) know, this warning has been His foundational message to those in the church who know […]
Solomon’s Syndrome: America’s Folly (Pt. 4)
In I Kings 11:9,10 we are told that Israel’s allowing foreign gods into the kingdom greatly angered God. As a result He raised up an enemy against Solomon (11:4). Then later He sent another enemy (11:23), then another (11:26). As punishment for Solomon’s sins the Lord removed the kingship from his family line. Because of a promise He had made […]
