God to the rescue–again. For several days I had been seeking divine guidance relative to the next subject I should write about. Two days passed. I began a posting and had to give it up for the lack of a spiritual “witness” that tells me when I am on the right track. Then last evening […]

I want to be perfectly clear relative to the identity of those in Group A and Group B written about in the previous postings. Having been part of Group B for most of my life, I know them well. Having been part of Group A for the past decade or so, I also know them […]

This series in general and this posting in particular involve statements from the Apostle John’s first letter to the church–his “beloved,” his “little children,” his “brethren.” Writing under the power of the Holy Spirit, his singular epistle was written to two groups of people in the church which, for this posting I will call Group […]

In First John 3:1-10 we find “the disciple whom Jesus loved” writing to his “beloved” (vs 2)–the Church of God. In verse three he describes God’s true saints, meaning those who keep themselves pure, “even as He is pure.” John repeats this command in 4:17. We know that this is both possible and commanded–Eph. 5:26). […]

In the epistles of the Apostle John we find him writing to a large number of people who, though scattered far and wide geographically, all were a part of the same group that was called by the same name throughout the New Testament–the Church of God (not to be confused with the denomination).–Acts 20:28. In […]

“What is going on in the United States?” “What is happening to this once-sane nation?” “Where did this craziness come from?” These are some of the musings being publicly voiced by people who are wondering, as one foreigner recently voiced on national television: “America: What happened to you?” This is THE ultimate question in need […]

In verse 21 of the focal chapter we find Jesus addressing both the ministers and their congregations. Here He warns that before His return times will become so horrendous that children will turn in their parents and parents their children for being believers in the Biblical God. During the Tribulation Period believing in the God […]

In Matthew 10:34 Jesus says to His soon-to-be apostles (sent ones): “Do not think that I came to bring peace to the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but rather, a sword.” There is only one use for a sword, and it is not pleasant. The Holy Bible is the most deadly instrument […]

Now that we have established WHY God promised some people that He will bless them and WHY He promised all others that He will curse them and WHY those in each category are able to switch groups by doing a 180 degree reversal of life, let us examine the ultimate WHY question: WHY DID THE […]

In the previous postings we learned WHY God is expressing His extreme displeasure in the form of curses in the final days of this age. We will now determine “WHO” He was addressing in the two distinct segments into which He divided the focal chapter. In a word, the answer to who, is “YOU.” In […]
