Many years ago I had the privilege of officiating a baptismal service that took place in the Jordan River. Being in Middle East where sheep were raised for their wool, I had been introduced to the art of wool dying before this event so the message practically spoke itself. The Word “baptize” is taken from […]

In Romans 1:12-14 the Apostle Paul states that he had for some time desired to visit the Rome church where he knew that there were some who shared THE FAITH with him. He states that he wanted to do so in the hope that he could “have some fruit” among others in the church. By […]

When the word “THE” is used in the Holy Scriptures it means “THE ONLY.” Otherwise the word “A” would have been used instead. This Biblical Truth is made clear in the letter the Apostle Paul wrote to SOME of the people in the church at Rome. In fact, what He wrote, though it should have […]

In Romans 5:8-10 the Apostle Paul made a statement in which two words–“HIS (CHRIST’S) LIFE“–places the salvation situation on a completely different level from where it has rested, unchallenged for some 1900 years. In this posting we will work our way to those Words and their true meaning which has been hidden by Satan from […]

Thousands, perhaps millions of times the following statement, or something similar, has been spoken relative to the effect of the Lord’s crucifixion: “We are saved by Christ’s death,” or “Christ’s blood saves the repentant sinner.” However, that is not what the Almighty instructed His New Testament writers to record in the Holy Bible. As a […]

Romans 2:25-29 is a passage that is routinely rejected by professing Christendom. Church leaders reject it because it points back to God’s Ten Commandment Law as the arbiter of right and wrong. Their disciples reject the passage because they are led away from it by their hirelings. Why the church-wide rejection of God’s Law? It’s […]

Jesus Christ called all people of a certain group “dogs” (Mat. 7:6; 15:26) because they worshiped a false god (Jn. 4:22). King David said that His God hated all people in the “dog” group (Ps. 5:5). What He had to offer at did not apply to people in that group. Who were those false god-worshiping, […]

In First John 3:4 the Lord, through the apostle, warns all who would seek to join Him in paradise that: “TO TRANSGRESS (BREAK) THE LAW IS SIN; FOR SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW.” Sin, we are told in Isaiah 59:2, “SEPERATES US FROM OUR GOD.” Romans 6:23 informs us that THE WAGES OF […]

To the honest student of the Holy Scriptures, the title of this series is obviously true. The other 99% of the Christian world simmer in anger if they read part 1 of this series, or heard me speak on the subject, or even read the series title. It is for them that this series, along […]

In Matthew 16:18 we find Jesus Christ proclaiming: “… on this Rock I will build My church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.” Today, more than half of those claiming to be part of His church believe that He built His church on the Apostle Peter. Others who make up “the […]
