    The First Error of Ministry

    The first transgression of man was preceded by the first error of ministry. Man added his own rule to Scripture: Neither shalt thou touch it. Which led directly to transgressing the Scriptural commandment, because the devil was able to play on the additional rule. If Eve has simply quoted...

    What is the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil

    To know what the fruit is, we need to know what the tree is. It would help to know what the tree is not. To make a difference between the unclean and the clean (Lev 11) But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to...

    The Outside Tree of Knowledge

    The tree of the knowledge of good and evil is the outside source of all outside traditions, that are apart from the Scriptures. Scriptures are the roots of the tree of Life. God commanded not to eat of a certain tree. And so eating thereof would be sin, because what was eaten was not all good...

    Sola Scriptura 2

    They stopped the first thread as 'unedifying'. I asked them for their definition of 'unedifying', so that we could avoid being 'unedifying' in their eyes, so that a good thread does not get shut down. But I have not gotten a response yet. Therefore, to avoid being shut down, I plead with people...

    The Sabbath is a carnal commandment

    A carnal commandment is a carnal ordinance: a law that condemns them as transgressors, that do not bodily obey it, according to the letter of it's command. It has nothing to do with inward faith of the heart, even as obedience to outward circumcision in the flesh, has nothing to do with inward...

    Jesus is the name of the risen God of Israel

    The Almighty God that spoke to Abraham, began to call Himself by His new name Jehovah to Moses, by which name He was not known to Abraham. The everlasting God gave Himself a new name, by which He was not known before. That God of Israel calling Himself by His new name Jehovah, also prophesied...

    Sola Scriptura

    Sola Scriptura is not a degrading term for Catholics. It is a term Catholics degrade and demonize. I don't know the source of the term nor the particular details of its' beginning', but my understanding is that it came from Martin Luther in his efforts to reform the 'church' from it's worst...

    Mystery Babylon

    Mystery Babylon is the mystery of iniquity (2 Thess 2:7): the mystery of them that preach in the name of Jesus, but are not helpers of our joy for Jesus' sake, but are dominators of our faith for their own sake: Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by...

    Replacement Theology is False. The Change of God is true.

    Replacement theology is false both ways: The Gentiles did not 'replace' the Jews as promised children of God, nor did the Jews 'replace' the Gentiles as uncircumcised strangers from God. What has changed is the Old Covenant of the God of Israel, called by His name Jehovah, to the New Testament...

    The law of the Sabbath was made for who and for what?

    It occurs to me, that since the Sabbath was made for man, for a holy day of rest for the body, then it could not have been made a commandment of law for God and His day of rest in the Spirit. The Sabbath command, like the rest of the law was made for man, not for God. It was made after the law...

    The seed of Israel

    In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory. (Is 45:45) All the seed of Israel in the Lord are justified with Him. All that are justified with the Lord are in Him and are seed of Israel. All the seed of Israel are children of the God of Israel. All born of the God...

    What is Repentance?

    This is in response to the pseudo-spiritual 'repentance' inwardly in mind and heart only, as opposed to and separate from repentance from the sinful deeds of the flesh. It is used to sidestep the Scripture: Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out. (Acts 3) They...

    What is Legalism?

    The term is used often. But what exactly is it according to Scripture? We are lawful and law-abiding citizens of the commonwealth of Israel. We keep God's law and commandments by faith of salvation. In 2 Cor 3, When Scripture says the 'letter kills', it was speaking of the law and of the Old...

    (Genesis 1:2) The Death, Burial, and Resurrection of Christ

    The heaven and the earth were created, and then it became without form and void. The origin of the universe beginning with a primordial sea, etc... is mythology of man. 1. Some read this as the result of the casting out of Satan, which the Lord Jesus saw. (Luke 10:18) 2. There is Scripture...

    The First Condition of Salvation by Grace

    Grace is unconditionally open to all, and salvation by grace is conditioned on repentance from dead works: The first condition of God for salvation by grace has always been that of repentance: Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of...

    Salvation with works, not by works

    Salvation is by grace, not by works, lest we should boast, but salvation that is by God's grace is with works: But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak. (Heb 6) The things that accompany salvation begin with the first...

    What is grace?

    Grace is unconditional. Salvation by grace is not. Grace is the shining of the Sun of righteousness on the just and the unjust alike. Grace is the open door to heaven that no man can close. Grace is the increase that only God can give. It is 'unconditional' in that it is available to all...
