When an entity, be it a nation, a group or an individual, refuses to obey the laws of the governing body, it is that entity’s WILL that dictates its/his/her life. What we see in today’s world, specifically in the U.S.A., is a rapid rush toward lawless- ness. On the Biblical level it is called “INIQUITY.” […]

The United States is an international joke. Why? Because we are not what we claim to be as a nation. Radical Islam beheads, crucifies and burns people for public sport. But she lags behind America in the arena of evil because she does not claim to be anything but what she presents publicly. America, on […]

On several occasions Paul uses the word “firstfruits” relative to the salvation process experienced by those who know, believe and obey Christ’s example and Words. In the Middle East some fruit trees produce a mini-crop of fruit prior to the coming forth of the larger crop at harvest time. This fruit is called “firstfruits.” The […]

In my previous posting concerning life after death I showed Scripturally that all humans are made of flesh which God calls the soul (Heb.-nephesh), and that following death the soul returns to dust from whence it came. The Scriptures also reveal that each human has a personal spirit by which he/she can commune with God, […]

Death is the cessation of life. For thousands of years the world has been divided into two camps relative to the subject. People in the East embrace it while those in the West dread it and will do whatever is necessary to postpone it. The multiplied millions comprising professing Christendom are able to accept it […]

For some 1700 years the Institutional Church has believed that man has an immortal (incapable of death) soul which is the “real man,” that man’s soul either ascends to heaven or descends to hell immediately upon death and that it is the soul that thinks, speaks, etc. The church also teaches that the soul lives […]

Apotheosis is the self-elevation of man to deity status–man making himself his own god. This process began in the Garden of Eden and has continued unabated. In God’s church its all about government. Government is all about Who is in charge and how everyone else responds to the One in charge. In God’s church He […]

As a follow-up to my postings on separation and persecution, I want to write a few words about sanctification. The word “sanctify”is an English translation of the Greek word “hagiazo” which means to set apart, to make holy. Used in relation to God’s saint, to be sanctified by Him is to be spiritually separated from […]

God’s temple (tabernacle) is where He has chosen to abide as He lives among His people, either bodily as in the case of ancient Israel–His “Church in the wilderness” (Acts 7:38)–or spiritually as in the case of His New Covenant church–the Israel of God (Gal. 6:16). In Exodus 24 He (the Word Who later came […]

Those Words, to be spoken by Jesus Christ to His two witnesses (Rev. 11:12), have been spoken to every true believer since the Garden of Eden. In the Revelation sequence, God’s two witnesses will be audibly called to physically ascend to where He is awaiting them. Throughout history, Jesus has spiritually called those who seek […]
