Jesus told Nicodemus that he must be born again of the water and the Spirit or he could not enter into the kingdom of God. John 3:5 Jesus had also told us the the kingdom of God is within us. Putting these two scriptures together we can see that the kingdom without the king is incomplete...

Your statement, As if to drive home the fact that the church is not Israel, Gentile Christians are not allowed to be circumcised, whereas circumcision is the essential mark of being a part of Israel, and the uncircumcised were cut off from the people. Scriptures statement, Rom 2:29 But he is a...

Hay Arnie, This sounds very much like hermenuitics, which explains much of what you said. If you could produce your workbook into pdf file, I would be very interested in having it. Be blessed.

Hi again Net, The bible was not written directly to us nor did Jesus speak to us. He spoke to his chosen people (the Jews) and in this case he was speaking to his disciples. Mat 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings...

Dodo, I made an error in my statement when I said the bible does not say to give some of the tithes to the poor. You have indeed proved that statement of mine wrong. I stand by my belief that we are not required to give tithes today. The law has passed away and no church should even require...

KJV is what I use, so we agree here. I have not studied Hebrew or Greek so actually have not compared all words to original. But my statement stands that God had his input in first translations, maybe not in recent ones. If most translations were overly mistranslated it would make it impossible...

The rapture is not for the church. You are correct. The Jews were waiting for the rapture. Joh 11:24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. After the rapture on the last day (end of the age of law) in 70 AD the new covenant was complete and...

Doctrine is only good if it agrees with the bible. Because no one has all truth, the church doctrine will be in error. So many times the pastor will not allow discussions on topics that do not agree with the doctrine, thereby taking man's word over God's. Wrong doctrine gets started from...

What is meant is that the Word of God was translated to our language and it is true. I have only studied from the King James version and have found that when I do check it with Hebrew or Greek it only explains it, and never changes it. It is indeed, still God's word and we can study it in our...

The Truth - Let Us Rightly Divide It 2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 1. Old Testament a. Written about the covenant that G0d made to the people God chose...

Statement made: In the New Testament we have the history of the Church down to the year 96. The date is incorrect, if John was to measure the temple it would have been before 76 AD. That is when it was destroyed, just as Jesus had said it would be. Since Scofield started with the wrong date...

The church was started by the Apostles after Jesus was resurrected. Mat 12:32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the age to come. Mar...

Sin was not imputed before the law. Rom 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Now we have to look at Adam and Eve, they died the day that they ate of the tree, spiritually. Since that time all men are born dead, spiritually. What is...

The bible is the Word of God. Doctrine is the word of man when it comes to church doctrine. Why do we need to understand it? God gave us the bible so we could come to know him. Why? Because one wouldn’t marry someone they didn’t know and we are the bride of Christ and should know him better than...

1Ti 4:16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee. Mat 16:12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees...

Hi HollyRock, We are the wheat, 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...

Hi rockytopva, The plan of salvation is not hard to find, but it does involve study of God’s word, not man’s. William Seymour is just a man. Always quote God’s word to prove a point. Mat 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to...

1 ¶ The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: a. Shortly to come. b. Rev 11:1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod...

How important is doctrine one lives under? Very important when it goes against the word of God. All we have to do is look back at history to see that people who have seen something in scripture, different from what they have been taught, began a new church. Did they have all the truth? No, but...

I could respond to comments, but there is a website that has many free studies about this very subject and are available either written or audio. David Curtis' bible knowledge is not only thorough but is presented in an easy to understand way. All Bereans should go to...
