    Biblical AUTHORITY

    In preface, this is a word to the wise...and those not so wise. Which I am commenting on because over the these times of the gentiles and the church, the perspective toward biblical authority has changed; and when I say "biblical authority"--I do not mean authority according to what one may...

    Ever been to a PROPHECY Class??

    My wife and I have been attending a new church (gathering) for about 6 months and a "Prophecy Class" was offered, and we just attended the first of 5 classes...and it didn't go as well as I might have hoped. Introductions were given and an explanation of the Instructor's history of teaching the...

    3 Levels of Scripture: Luke 5:17-25

    Paul, many times, taught on 3 levels, appealing (1) to the unsaved and to new babes in Christ, (2) to the more mature, and (3) also included perhaps even often spiritual insights not visible to many. And Paul wasn't the only one who taught this way. On the first level, there is a message that...

    Spirit Challenge: 3 JOHN

    1. Who was John writing to? 2. What is the nature of his letter? 3. Who is he writing about? ...Did I mention this was a spiritual challenge--not for what is seen, but what is unseen?

    Peter "put off" his "tent" of flesh -- clarifying our spiritual future.

    Many considering the resurrection imagine that it is the resurrection of this same physical body or that this body is glorified to be better and yet physical and flesh--even looking for Jesus to return physically, as if He would be born again of the flesh or put on again what He too "put off."...

    Leave The World Behind - MOVIE

    Just aired on Netflix, the movie "Leave The World Behind" (Executive Producers: Barack & Michelle Obama) depicts an end times apocalyptic scenario of an attack on America. It cites the would-be conspiracy theory of a worldwide cabal or ancient deep state or shadow government of elites and mafia...

    The first woman Eve became a living being.” The last Eve a...?

    I suppose the question of consideration, is if "The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit" 1 Corinthians 15:45-- What then would the Bride of each be by their lineages, respectively? I would suggest that this is a matter of that which is born of the...

    "Special Revelation" #&*@ -- Seriously??

    Before I get accused again of my own "private interpretation"-- let's get one thing straight: All revelations from God are "special." Why is it that most seem to think that revelations must be delivered on a silver platter by the consensus of a learned group of peers? That's not biblical--not...

    The greatest CONSPIRACY THEORY of all time: There is a God.

    The term "Conspiracy Theory" was invented by the CIA to cast doubt upon speculations of their less than legal practices...but this kind of questioning and doubt was first coined by Satan, saying in contradiction to what God had said, “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you...

    2,000 Years of Believing a "Lie" Does Not Make it True.

    Peter told us, that because "there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction." 2 Peter 2:1 Paul told us, that "The...

    Godly Sorrow.

    Below is a good example of anything that may be considered bad or even evil that is instead entirely different when the intentions are godly--that is to say, from God: 2 Corinthians 7:2-12 Open your hearts to us. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have cheated no one. 3 I do...

    The Goalposts of Understanding All Move!

    I spend most of my time here attempting to clarify the misconceptions of most Christians. Now, that may sound arrogant, but no--it's not me--it's just that time, that time that was foretold of being lead unto all truth and the finish of the mystery of God as He told to His servants the...

    The error of Biblical Interpretation by "Genre."

    Many pastors and church leaders have been taught that the Bible is "literature." Here is an example of what is commonly taught: The Bible is a work of literature. Literature comes in different genres, or categories based on style, and each is read and appreciated differently from another. For...

    Understanding The Coming of Christ in Times, Verses Eternity.

    I have had such a difficult time explaining the truth of Christ's coming (and return) as being one way from the worldly perspective and another from God's perspective, that I made this image to visualize it: Yes, Jesus came during His own time during the history and times of this world, but...

    Jesus Coming in The Clouds.

    This is what has been taught and what most believe, and what most expect to see of Jesus' second coming, as "coming in the clouds": But this is what is actually written (Jesus speaking): "Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said...

    2023 - What's happening RIGHT NOW.

    The events now going on in the world are the fulfilment of many passages of scripture. Here are just a few: Isaiah 42:9 Behold, the former things have come to pass, And new things I declare; Before they spring forth I tell you of them.” Genesis 50:20 But as for you, you meant evil against me...

    What authority do people have to make claims and presume to teach according to what they merely "believe?"

    None. Don't do that! If you don't "know" or only think you know, you have no business making claims and teaching. It's one thing to learn a school of thinking or belief and even teach it. But it is a mistake to teach it as "fact." Other than quoting scripture ones own understanding or...

    "There are no more...Prophets??"

    @Enoch111 @Christophany I didn't want to derail the "What is Revival" thread, but this needs to be clarified. Now, I get it if you are of the opinion that Paul spoke here referring only to the last apostles, even though that is not the context of the passage, for the context is as stated...

    "WHY?" is the main question that should be asked about WHY something is in the Bible.

    Is the Bible just a guide book on "How to Maximize Your Time in the World?" --It can be, and it certainly is only that to some. I mean, the whole "applying" what is written to your everyday life--is all about you and the kingdom of this world! And yet you even hear it from the pulpit...

    LONGING... (the long and short of it).

    We embrace the idea of the end of times, but seem to deny it by our actions. We speak of all that is included as if it were all a process, and so do the scriptures...and yet they also elude to things happening in the twinkling of an eye, even using past-tense language to suggest (or rather...
