    Are Your Being Deceived?

    Are you being deceived? Sorry for the wrong quote above. The devil deceived Eve and mankind was forever effected. The same thing has been going on throughout all generations. What is the biggest deception that is still being propagated today. It is the simple word 'this'. When used in normal...

    God and His Wife(s)

    Throughout the bible a covenant with God is like a marriage to him. Exo 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Exo 20:14 Thou shalt not commit adultery. Jer 3:1 They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again...

    The Bible Explained

    The Bible Story God wanted someone to fellowship with. Not just anyone, but those that would come to love him by their own freewill. He did not want puppets to worship him. God created Adam and Eve, the only thing he created that he did not say “it was good”. That is because man would have...

    I Am the First and the Last

    What are your thoughts? Rev 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. Jesus is saying he is God and is the beginning and the ending. Rev 1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last...

    God's Chosen

    Are we God's chosen people? Adam, which is not a name, it means man. God made a covenant with a man. Jesus said he was the first and he is the last in this covenant. In order words, he fulfilled man’s covenant with God. God had said you will be my people and I will be your God. Eden was the...

    Hermeneutics 101 - Relating History to the Book of Revelation

    Prophecy teachers try to tie the scriptures in Revelation to a future happening. Could it be that the proper way is to relate it to the past. In Josephus books, Wars of the Jews, he writes about what was going on in Jerusalem at approximately 66 AD to 70 AD when the the city and the Temple were...

    Jesus speaking to the multitude, Mat 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: Mat 13:25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. Mat 13:26 But when the...

    Hermeneutics 101 - Believing on Jesus Explained

    As this study progressed, it became apparent that this is a very deep subject. Probably will not be able to cover it all in this thread. But here is a start. The bible teaches us that we must believe on Jesus to have eternal life. This is not simply believing that Jesus existed. It is a...

    Hermeneutics 101 - Truth, Do we have it?

    Truth, is it important? How does Jesus explain Truth? Truth, Jesus is equal to God! Joh 5:17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. Joh 5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his...

    Hermeneutics 101 - Types and Shadows of Things to Come

    Moses in the old testament is compared as one who was like Jesus. He, at the Lord's command went into Eqypt to bring the children out of the land of Egypt to the promise land. After reaching the land that God had promised, there was a scouting party that went into that promise land and when they...

    Hermeneutics 101 - Works of Law vs Works of Grace

    Works of Law vs Works of Faith Proper use of words will help us understand the Word of God. How do we do that? Hermeneutics says that if there is a misunderstanding of a word, then search the scriptures for answers. Salvation is received and maintained by being obedient to God's word. So as we...

    Hermeneutics 101 - The Book of Revelation - Mystery Babylon

    Hermeneutics rule is that when a scripture speaks on a subject search other bible scriptures to help explain it. The Old Testament and the Gospels are directed to the Jews. In the case of the Book of Revelation, though it was written to the seven churches of Asia it speaks about Daniel's...

    Hermeneutics 101 - Book of Acts - About Steven

    We know Stephen was stoned to death because he was a Christian. But was that the only reason? Where Stephen came from: Act 6:1 And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in...

    Hermeneutics 101 - The Book of Revelation - Part 1 & 2

    Because the Book of Revelation, in large part, is written in symbolic language, one must have scripture or at least some evidence to confirm ones interpretation. First, I contend that it is Jerusalem and the temple being destroyed, that Revelation is referring to. So far, here are a couple of...

    2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. To study one must do more than just read the words or quote them to prove a point. Sometimes it takes a little digging. 2Ti 2:16 But shun profane and vain babblings...

    Hermeneutics 101 - The Gospels

    The Gosples of Jesus Christ is a little different than the Epistles in that it is all about Jesus and what he has to say. So, it is not in the from of a letter, it is knowing who he is and to whom he is speaking. All of it is for us to know but most is specific to those he is speaking. How do we...
