In the eighth chapter of his letter to the church at Rome, the Apostle Paul proclaimed that after making Jesus His LORD and MASTER, learning how to use the power of the Holy Spirit to obey Him, thereby placing himself spiritually IN CHRIST, there was THEN no condemnation (vs 1) from the Lord for his […]

In Romans 7:5,6 the Apostle Paul noted that sin is caused by the Law. In verse seven he asks, “Is the Law sin?” His answer is, “God forbid, I would not have known what sin is but by the Law.” In verses eight and nine he explains that the Law prohibited what his fleshly old […]

Verses five and six of Romans chapter seven are two of the most confusing verses found in the Holy Scriptures. I understand why Law-deniers use them to “prove” that the Law was done away with and has no place in the New Testament Church. Paul’s writings are designed by the Lord to separate church sheep […]

Chapter seven of the Apostle Paul’s letter to the church at Rome has been used with devastating success by Satan to lead billions of church people away from God and to himself by convincing them to reject God’s commands to obey His Law, which He condensed into the Ten Commandments.  Man’s obsession with destroying His […]

In verses 11 through 13 of the sixth chapter of the Apostle Paul’s epistle to the church at Rome he reveals who determines man’s relationship with the Lord.  In these four verses we are told to “recon yourself,” “let not” and “yield yourself” relative to that relationship.  Only one in charge of a situation has […]

Chapter five of Paul’s letter to the church at Rome has revealed that sin was not in the world until Adam sinned.  Since that that time Satan has successfully used the result of Adam’s sin to pull the vast majority of salvation seekers away from the Biblical God and to himself.  At one point, God […]

The Apostle Peter wrote that the Apostle Paul’s words were “hard to understand.”  Chapter five of Paul’s letter to the church at Rome is an excellent example of that truth.  Though difficult to understand, this chapter, as are all chapters, verses, words, jots and tittles in the Holy Scripture, were ordained by God, spoken by […]

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 […]
