To be a good pastor remember it is not a job, it is a calling. Don't ask those that come to you in search of God, to pay you in any way. If you have information to help them, give it to them, whether it be a book you have written or a bible, should they need one. Remember, you are not a boss...

Hermeneutics - Traditional Hermeneutics is the study of the interpretation of written texts in the area of literature, religion and law. How can one understand God's word if they have not studied hermeneutics? Personally I couldn't and it would be fair to say, nobody can. Briefly, one will...

I have responded to each point above.

In response to your second point in I John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. and again in II John 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who...

Jesus talked a lot about the end time. And according to scripture, it will be the evil ones taken away not the righteous. Mat 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to...

Hi Justin, The Word does say that the Spirit will lead us into all truth. That truth is the Word of God and can be quoted by anyone and it will still be true. The problem comes in when one changes what the word says to make it agree with what they believe it should mean. All churches should...

Hi Justin, This is good stuff. Maybe, if you will allow, I might add a little to what you have said. Heaven and earth, to the Jew was the place where man and God meet, the temple in Jerusalem. More on that is at: http://www.racheladelman.com/ Rachael is a Professor of the Hebrew Bible and she...

Hi Worshiper! Please allow me to offer some food for thought on this subject. So many times one will make the bible hard to understand. This happens because we read it as if it was written to us. That simply is not the case. In the old testament, God dealt with the Jews. In the new testament...

Hi trekson, My take is that the third woe has to do with the final assult and destruction of Jerusalem and the temple by the Roman army which must have lasted the 3 1/2 years you are looking for. The first two woes were finished and the third was to come quickly. Luk 21:20 And when ye shall...

Rachel Adelman, Ph.D. is an assistant professor of Hebrew Bible at Hebrew College in Boston. She has published an article called "Jacob's Vision at Bel El and the Foundation Stone of the World" in this article she points out that the mount where the Tower of Babel was built, where Abraham took...

Hi Richard, You have written a powerful and true message. I have enjoyed reading it.

Hi Warrior, You are so right, there is no need to worry. Jesus told his disciples that their world (the age of law) was coming to an end but our world (age of grace) will never end. Eph 3:21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. Hi...

Hi Taylor, You are so right on all you have said. One thing that should be taught at church is hermeneutics, or how to read the bible with understanding. Just reading the bible is good, but to read it and understand it would mean so much more.

In bible studies, one only need to read the scripture for what it says, we should not add to or take away from it. That being said let us explore the word of God. In God’s word, New Testament, we find that he gives believers certain gifts. If one searches scripture for the word ‘gifts of (God...

Hi Son of Man, Thank you for more scripture.

We often hear those that say God's chosen are the Jewish people. Let us take a look in Romans to see what Paul said about this subject. Rom 9:6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Rom 9:7 Neither, because they are the seed...

Jesus came so that we might have life. That life is given when we are born again. Joh 3:4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man...

Hi biggandyy, My point was to show that God had a wife, even in the old testament. Jesus did not forgive when they rejected him. Let me also say that I know that all of Israel shall be saved, but this Israel is those of faith. They become apart of the new covenant just as all others have, by...

Jesus has a wife, what is so new about that? Jer 3:8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also. God first divorced...

Trek, When my son came to me and ask me to check out what he had come to believe was truth. I had to do that with an open mind because I believed just like you. What we have been discussing is very hard for one to see. It took me months of study to let scripture intrepret scripture. That is why...
