Of the numerous fallacies Satan has persuaded the church world to embrace, today’s subject is at the top of a long list.  This church “truth” is that justification and salvation are one in the same.  The belief is that when God justifies (forgives all past sins of) the believer, the believer is automatically saved and […]

In the third chapter of his epistle to the church at Rome the Apostle Paul begins by asking a rhetorical question: what advantage does the Jew (the circumcised) have over the Gentile (the uncircumcised) when it comes to salvation?  In verse two he answers the question, noting that the Jew has the great advantage of […]

What is a Jew in terms of the New Covenant Church established by Jesus Christ on the Day of Pentecost 31 A.D?  As the following will show, the kind of Jew a true Christian must become is spiritual in nature.  Simply put, spiritual Jewishness has nothing to do with being a biological Jew or biological […]

Relative to God’s church, what does it mean to be a Jew?  Is being a Jew a status that a true Christian has become, or is it a status that a true Christian refuses to become?  Concerning this question, most of the church world has been taught the exact opposite of God’s Word for almost […]

In Romans 1:21 through 30 the Apostle Paul is referring to people from the past who had known God and His ways and had then rejected them, “had become vain in their imaginations” and had “darkened their hearts (minds).”  Thinking themselves to be wise, they “became fools.”  These were Israelites–God’s “chosen people”–who had left Him […]

In verses four through six of the first chapter of Paul’s letter to the church at Rome we find the apostle writing about Christ’s resurrection from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit, also called “the Spirit of HOLINESS,” which gives us a hint as to the reason for receiving the Holy Spirit […]

Much discussion has taken place over the past two millennia concerning the lessons the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Rome congregation has taught the New Covenant Church.  However, a careful study of the epistle reveals that much, if not most, of what he wrote has been either misunderstood or deliberately misrepresented by the leaders of […]

In the Holy Scriptures are recorded numerous situations in which Jesus encountered evil spirits which were afflicting human beings. He was continually confronting them and casting them out, Matthew. 4:24; 8:16/ Mark 1:32,34,39/ Luke 4:41 describe a few of those encounters.  Not only did the Lord deal with and control demons, He gave His disciples […]

The war between the children of God and the one who would steal them from Him began in the Garden of Eden and has continued non-stop ever since.  At one point the would-be god, known as the Serpent or Satan, had spiritually killed every human being on earth except eight people.  His success was so […]
