In Revelation 3:21 Jesus tells those of us living in the final (Laodicean) age of the church (and the world as we know it) that we have two choices relative to the eternal future following His return to earth: 1) to overcome Satan or 2) to be overcome by Him. The Lord Jesus promises those […]

The subject of this posting is the most misunderstood and most deadly of the theological errors embraced by professing Christendom. Contrary to near-universal church opinion, CHRIST’S DEATH DOES NOT SAVE US; WE ARE SAVED BY HIS LIFE AS HIS LIFE IS LIVED IN US (Rom. 5:10). This is what is meant by the statement found […]

At this time let us take a moment to reflect upon what the Lord has told us so far in this series: The wounds that Jesus suffered were for the healing of the believer’s body (Isa. 53:5). The blood He shed during the ordeal which culminated in His death was for the forgiveness of the […]

We will examine the three primary results in reverse order of importance. Number three in importance is mentioned in Isaiah 53:5 where we are promised that our bodies would be healed by the stripes Christ received during the incredible beating He endured prior to His crucifixion. It is noted that He was beaten and his […]

In the previous segments of this series I mentioned the fact that salvation seekers have, under Satan’s direction, misunderstood many Scriptural passages, and as a result, have spent their church lives serving him, all the while believing that they were serving the Biblical God. In Hebrews 10:10 and 12 we are told that, upon His […]

As stated in the Holy Scriptures, the forgiveness of sins can be accomplished only through the shedding of blood. This law was established in the Garden of Eden and practiced among the Israelites until, during the Last Supper, Jesus announced the end of the sacrificial system involving the blood of animals for removal of sins. […]

In the Garden of Eden the God of the Old Testament–the God who created all things, spoke with man face-to-face, led Israel out of Egypt, gave the Law to them and us from atop Mt. Sinai and later came to earth as Jesus Christ (the Word–Jn. 1:1-4,14)–shed the blood of animals in order to cover […]

The ministry of the man called Jesus of Nazareth is THE ONLY TEMPLATE/PATTERN/EXAMPLE the Holy Scriptures provides for those who are called by Him to spread His Word throughout the world. Following the death of the Lord’s Messiah the original apostles took the true Gospel to the Jews and to the “… lost sheep of […]

“I am the Lord; I do not change.” “He is the same yesterday, today and forever.” “In Him there is no hint of of change” (Mal. 3:6/ Heb. 13:8/ Jam. 1:7 respectively). From day one of His earthly ministry the man Jesus did not deviate from the perfect ministry template (pattern) which God continually revealed […]

Scripturally, the word “heart” is what is known in the secular world as “mind.” One will notice that both words are used in the various translations of the Holy Bible. Examples of the dual-worded meaning of the same entity is shown in this series on several occasions. “As a man THINKS in his HEART, so […]
