Through Paul's writing we have doctinal certainty that salvation is to be accompanied by applicable activity. I'm no longer astonished by the inconsistencies and incongruities in the ideologies and behaviours of those who fellowship as members of the body of Christ, but some have been...

Authoritarianism in some cases. Often cloaked in rites and rituals of ordination and elevation, but intent on controlling by domination, intimidation, manipulation, and seduction. Jesus Himself had strong words against such.

Hi Mike Tang. Furthermore, the man of sin cannot be revealed unless and until the restraints and constraints of disclosing his identity are removed. While one restraint would be lack of information another would be the withholding of information. All through history and as Scripture records...

Through our involuntary existence we find ourselves capable of voluntary actions. If we say otherwise we refute that God gave Adam and Eve an option to obey or not to obey. Predetermination and Freewill are married. They are two sides of the same coin and are not mutually exclusive, which is...

Talk about fallacies of composition . . . almost the motherlode.

Hi Nancy, Having studied the Wesley's and Methodism in some detail I must make a distinction between Wesley Methodists and Calvinistic Methodists. Quote: In 18th-century England Calvinistic Methodism was represented by the followers of George Whitefield as opposed to those of John and Charles...

The situation is monitored and studied closely: My source has provided an outline of seven dimensions being used to track possible candidates: Existence: What is here to most likely cause the rise of a potential man of sin? Environment: What is happening to most likely eventuate the revealing...

Bad News from New Age Paganism being dished up as Biblical Truth as follows: False Doctrine Alert: In deep meditation practices, spiritual energy (kundalini, Holy Spirit) rises through the spinal column and proceeds to open the seven chakras (seven churches of revelations) along the spine...

2Th 2:3-4 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, (4) who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of...

Yes. From the call of Abraham (c.1921BC Genesis12:1) to the fall of Jerusalem 70AD, Israel has had both good and bad branches. The main thought in the metaphor of the olive trees is because the root is eternally good and holy so the remaining branches of Israel and the grafted-in branches of...
