If you can see it religion is a box that men of religion have built. It was built by Emperor Constantine in about AD300. It was called the “Roman Catholic Church” Their doctrine was established on a mixture of law, grace and what ever they could come up with to get people to come into it...

I believe that Peter's sermon has been taken out of context and used as a blanket sermon about repenting and being water baptized. This article is my attempt to prove that it has to be read “IN CONTEXT.“ - (was it to the Jews and the Gentiles, or just to the Jews?) - Acts 2:31-38 (NKJV) 31 he...

I hope this is not taken the wrong way. It is not intended to offend anyone. These are my personal thoughts based on what the scriptures actually say and put in this study. The old saying that James and Paul were teaching the same thing, or that the word “works” each used do not mean the same...

Seems to me that most think Jesus set up another improved religion. It was those in religion that persecuted the Prophets killing some and imprisoning others. It was those in religion who had Jesus murdered. It was those in religion that stoned Stephens to death. It was those believing Jews...

Do you know that those who add works to the Gospel of grace are under a curse? I am not talking about the traits of the children of God which are a result of the Holy Spirit within them. I am talking about salvation. There were believing Jews (they believed that Jesus was their Messiah and...

GOD'S PLAN ON THE EARTH Christ was presented to Israel as the rightful heir to the earthly throne of David. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He...

In the 4 gospels Jesus told Peter to feed His Sheep and Lambs. These were the Jews who were His people. Today, under grace, the children of God are not His Sheep or Lambs. We are "the body of Christ" and sons of God. As sons we are heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. Rom 8:15-17 15...

OUR ARK: (the “in Christ” doctrine) 2 Cor 1:19-22 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us-- by me, Silvanus, and Timothy-- was not Yes and No, but in Him was Yes. 20 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us...

I does seem odd to me that since the work of Jesus on the cross is the reason we can have salvation is not something most are willing to write about. Why??

Matt 23:4-5 4 For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. 5 But all their works they do to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the borders of their garments. NKJV What...

Religion = what mankind practices in order to please the god they think exists. It is a practice of things (works and rituals) they think will please their God and make them acceptable. In the dictionary the word “religion” is defined as what man does for the God they think exists. However...

All scriptures are from the NKJV Romans 8:1-11 --- Free from Indwelling Sin (this does not mean we have no sins in/of the flesh. It means we are set free from the condemnation of our sins) 1 There is therefore now (present tense) no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not...

Today I watched a video put out by a guy named “Hamilton” about Paul. It listed Paul’s journeys preaching the gospel of grace. What a farce, All it showed was the religious monuments in Rome built by the hands of men. It was a grandiose display of the works of religious men. Nothing in...

I have taken the following verses out of the NT Bible that mention speaking in tongues. I will make comments after each group. My comments are my opinions about what they mean. You have the right to disagree but what I am posting is what I believe. Mark 16:17-18 17 "And these signs will follow...

If you can see it, all the persecutions of true Christians has come from the religious. In this writing I am going to point out what I see in religions. James 1:27 (NKJ) 27 Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep...

All scriptures are from the NKJV Romans 8:1-11 --- Free from Indwelling Sin (this does not mean we have no sins in/of the flesh. It means we are set free from the condemnation of our sins) 1 There is therefore now (present tense) no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not...

I believe the following story, told by Jesus, tells us about salvation in this age. Matt 22:1-14 NKJV 1 And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables and said: 2 "The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, 3 and sent out his servants to call...

Isaiah 61:10 10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, My soul shall be joyful in my God; For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. NKJV It...

The Ark that God has built (Paul’s “in Christ” doctrine) based on 15 scriptures 2 Cor 1:19-22 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us-- by me, Silvanus, and Timothy-- was not Yes and No, but in Him was Yes. 20 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him...

I believe that studying the Bible is not taking a set of scriptures and developing a doctrine but taking it as God telling us of His dealing with mankind with real events. I have done this and set my study up with the following captions. AN OVERVIEW OF THE BIBLE: I thought I would like to...
