In Isaiah’s day, the call went out: “Seek the ‘Lord’….” (Isaiah 55:6) In our day, these words are also appropriate both for all regardless of their intended spiritual gifts. However, the Lord’s blessing is not unconditional, nor is his invitation extended indefinitely. Current social and...

There is no single term-that I am aware of-in the Bible that denotes this doctrine. It is purely a matter of formal belief, religious doctrine and politics. Considering this, all the different doctrines states-to the effect-that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are each without a beginning, have...

Well presented post! In support: Only these astrologers, Magi or stargazers-which is condemned in the scriptures (Deuteronomy 18:10-12)-were the only ones that reported to have “seen” a special star. If the star had been an actual physical body, it would have been as visible as a beacon to the...

Prior to Jesus’ sacrifice, there was no way or means for the forgiveness of sins. We were all condemned to death through Adam.-1 Corinthians 15:21, 22. Thankfully, Jesus paid our debt. This does not mean that the human family needs to do nothing else. Almighty God can now legally repurchase us...

In Ephisians, the apostle Paul spoke about avoiding tendencies toward dishonest statements, sustained wrathfulness, laziness, and unsuitable speech. If we have put on “the new personality” and yet allow ourselves to drift back toward such things, what would we be doing? We would be going...

Consider Matthew 13:34.

Following the thousand year reign of Jesus, a final test will be given to all the earthly subjects-those that are resurrected and those that survive the "great tribulation." (Revelation 7:14) This test starts by Satan being released from the abyss. Those, now in perfect condition both physically...

Great question! I think-in a condensed explanation-that that this scripture is referring to two deaths that some will undergo. The first is a physical death due to the inherited sin from Adam (Roman 5:12); and, the second means a permanent death, without hope of another resurrection. Consider...
