Historical evidence reveals that the annual celebration known throughout the Institutional Church as Easter predates the time of Jesus’ earthly tenure by hundreds of years. Many heathen societies, including Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome, paid homage to its goddess of fertility annually at the time of the vernal equinox. Vines Expository Dictionary of Old and […]

Lent immediately precedes the supposed Sunday resurrection of Jesus Christ, Who did not rise from the dead on Sunday, but rather on Saturday at dusk. Also, Christians are not commanded to observe His resurrection, but rather His death (Lk. 22:19/1 Cor. 11:24,25). See Christ’s Resurrection and Passover Versus Easter. As commanded, the early church memorialized […]

The observance of paganism is a year-around, 24-7 undertaking for that which calls itself “the church.” Though all of her heathen observances are of great importance, some are believed to be more important than others. The religious worth of each observance can be determined by the amount of time and energy dedicated to observing it. […]

Self-rule produces chaos. Without government there is self-rule. Without a governor there is no government. So-called “faith-based religion” is in a state of chaos.

He calls such false holiness “great darkness” because it is in […]

Why is there division in the church and in the family? Because light and darkness do not work together. Like a house in which some rooms are darkened while others are lighted, the church and the family sometimes have those in them who walk in God’s light while others in that church or family walk […]

In normal social conversation the words “division” and “unity” are mutually exclusive–they occupy the opposite ends of the English language spectrum. However, in the spiritual realm, they can produce a singular result. This series of postings highlights such an example. Let us first determine the Biblical enemy of anyone and everyone whose passion is to […]

In 2 Timothy 3:16 we find the Apostle Paul reminding his young protege’ of the vital importance of God’s Word: “ALL SCRIPTURE is given by inspiration of God (spoken by Him through His Holy Spirit), and is profitable for DOCTRINE, for REPROOF, for CORRECTION and for INSTRUCTION IN RIGHTEOUSNESS.” The first thing God gave to […]
