    Look! I see the heavens opened

    Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God! (Acts 7:56 ISV) One, perhaps supreme, factor in the significance of Stephen was what he saw at the end and said with almost his last breath: "Behold, I see the heavens opened; and the Son of man standing on the...

    Sabbath Rest

    All who have entered into God’s rest have rested from their labors, just as God did after creating the world. (Hebrews 4:10 NLT) Christ is God's Sabbath. Christ is our Sabbath. When we enter by faith into Christ's righteousness, we enter into God's rest. It is a tremendous power.... The Lord...

    Excerpt from The School Of Christ by T.Austin Sparks

    What do you have that God hasn’t given you? And if everything you have is from God, why boast as though it were not a gift? (1 Corinthians 4:7 NLT) There are still a lot of people in this world who think that there is something in man that can contribute to the glory of God and that...

    No Degree Required

    Very good thread with a lot of good responses, thanks for starting the thread Hldude. In reading the posts, this scripture came to mind. 1 When I first came to you, dear brothers and sisters, I didn’t use lofty words and impressive wisdom to tell you God’s secret plan. 2 For I decided that...

    Universal Reconciliation

    Aion is the root word, just as alam is the root word for olam in Hebrew texts. How about posting the whole context and we can discuss it more in depth and after you complete your word study we can discuss it further. I have many reference study tools in my personal library too so looking forward...

    Universal Reconciliation

    How long was Jonah in the belly of the fish? Same Greek word used in the Septuagint is aion translated from the Hebrew word olam. Was he there for ever? What is eternity of eternities mean? Does such a phrase even make sense? Aion is normally an age or an indefinite time. Paul also said that...

    Universal Reconciliation

    Do you know the Greek word used in the manuscripts that was mistranslated as "for ever and ever"? Seems you believe in annihilation rather than endless torment but I believe the scriptures make a very sound case for a universal reconciliation with 10 times more scripture than annihilation and...
