The word "ransom" appears in our English New Testament 3 times: Matthew 20:28, Mark 10:45, 1 Timothy 2:6. But the Greek in each case is not the same. In Matthew 20:28 and Mark 10:45, the word rendered "ransom" is lutron, followed with the word anti. But in Timothy the Greek is one word...

Some deny the existence of hell, but the Bible clearly teaches it, in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. MANY MISUNDERSTAND the subject, and some still hold to the heathen doctrine of eternal torture, which was attached to Christianity early in the Dark Ages, and so they believe in...

Yes! Because God’s wisdom allows Him to see the end from the beginning (Isa. 46:10), God knew that he would disobey when presented with Satan’s lie and so the provision of Christ’s sacrifice for Adam was made even before the foundation of the world. “Knowing that you were not redeemed with...

The term church has been attributed with a wide range of meanings, many of which do not align with the teachings of the Scriptures. However, when viewed through the lens of the divine plan, its meaning becomes remarkably straightforward. Some people believe that a stunning building made of...

"Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you." - 1 Peter 5:7 The above scripture is probably a familiar one because it's such a comfort to the Lord's people, knowing they have an outlet in dealing with their burdens. The Heavenly Father has love and concern for those who dedicate their...

Before tackling the symbolism of the number fourteen in the Bible, let us first consider the number seven, since fourteen is a multiple of seven. In Hebrew, the word for seven is sheba (shibah), but this word also means promise, oath, or covenant. Hence in Genesis 22:15, 16, we find God swearing...

Old Light, New Light It would seem as we look back at Watchtower beliefs, particularly since they took the name: Jehovah's Witnesses, that they are guilty of flip-flopping and using Proverbs 4:18 as their reason for doing so. When we look at the following quote, it would seem that the...

All this talk about conservatives and liberals. Trump and Harris, good vs evil. Democrats vs Republicans. Let me ask; did Jesus ever talk politics, did he take sides? Remember when Satan offered him ALL the kingdoms of the world? What did Jesus do? He refused, telling him: “Away with you...

"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me" John 10:27 Many are professing to be the true sheep of the Lord's flock, but in this day of the Shepherd's presence His voice, the Truth, becomes the test. We now hear various voices calling the sheep in various directions, as never...

When individuals leave the Jehovah's Witness organization for conscience reasons, it is evidence that God is shepherding and protecting the flock by doing a sifting work. When people leave another Christian religion it is evidence that the religion is morally corrupt and unable or unwilling to...

God promised Abraham that his seed would be multiplied greatly. To illustrate this God likened Abraham's seed to the stars of heaven, the dust of the earth, and the sand of the seashore - each multitudinous. But Bible Students have long seen that these terms convey a deeper meaning than just of...

Many have been plagued by the fruitless arguments of a well-known organization whose adherents make much of the question of what it was upon which Jesus was crucified (or "impaled"). One brother was accosted with the question at a fair booth: "Why do you have Jesus hanging on a pagan symbol?"...

I thought this was beautifully said ... HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE YHWH?

WHAT DO THE SCRIPTURES SAY? “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” - John 14:6 “For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” - Romans 10:13 “That by the name of Christ ... salvation is found in no one...

The Bible Teaches That “...The LORD, Who is God, Who formed the earth and made it, Who has established it, Who did not create it in vain, Who formed it to be inhabited: ...” (Isa. 45:18 NKJV). That God created Adam, “the first man” (not as a spirit being, but as a human being), “of the dust of...

“Behold I was shapen in iniquity and in sin did my mother conceive me.” - Psa. 51:5 We received life from our parents, all the way back to Adam and Eve who were disobedient and came under the death sentence. The better we understand the origin of sin the more successful we will be in combating...

This subject has been much misunderstood by many, especially because of some prevalent erroneous teachings in the nominal church. Because of the trinity doctrine and other errors, many do not identify Michael and archangel with the Word, or Logos, the pre-human Jesus. We will examine evidence...

I needed the quiet so He drew me aside, Into the shadows where we could confide. Away from the bustle where all the day long I hurried and worried when active and strong. I needed the quiet though at first I rebelled, But gently, so gently, my cross He upheld, And whispered so sweetly of...

Submission is a strong word; consecration, one still stronger. Surrender is cessation of resistance; consecration, a transfer of all we are and have to Christ for active service. It covers person and property, talents and opportunities, and accepts of Christ as leader, manager, friend, and...
