In the previous posting we examined Philippians 2:5-8 where we learned that before coming to earth as Jesus the carpenter He and the divine Entity Biblically known as God were equal in every way. They were equal in power, knowledge, etc. Both were composed of spirit bodies. The lived in unimaginable splendor in peace and […]

In his letter to the church at Philippi the Apostle Paul makes clear that the One called Jesus of Nazareth, had not always been Who and what He came to be later in life. This Biblical Truth presents THE model for everyone who seeks to spend eternity with Him. He is the standard, the pattern […]

God’s people, as identified and characterized by the Lord Himself through His prophets and apostles, are members of His true church which He calls the “Church of God” (Acts 20:28) and the “Israel of God” (Gal. 6:16).
