    The false doctrines of the Futurist and Preterist interpretation.

    Here is from Wikipedia where I am a author and it is straightforward: 'One of the most influential aspects of the early Protestant historicist paradigm was the assertion that scriptural identifiers of the Antichrist where matched only by the institution of the Papacy. Particular significance...

    Can the Law save us?

    Here is something which I posted years ago but is a great illustration on how the Law works... Jesus used parables to explain things plainly so the people could understand, and I was struck as I worked on my fence one morning, by how the fence was like Gods law, and I thought I would share it...

    Good Master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?

    One day a young ruler came to Jesus and fell on his knees before him. He said, "Good Master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus told him 'if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments' and started quoting the 10 commandments; "Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not...

    What does having the 'Mind of Christ' mean?

    In Romans 11:34 Paul asks the question "For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?" Then in 1 Corinthians 2:16, he repeats the question "For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ." But now Paul says we...

    Can a Saved man choose to be Lost?

    Some believe that once you decide to be saved you can never choose to be lost again, it is irrevocable on your part. When you accept Jesus as your Saviour, it will be the final choice you will ever make about your eternal destiny. If you change your mind later and repudiate your decision, it...

    The Sea turns to Blood...

    When we were in grade school long ago, one of the teachers took us out to the ocean in his boat, and showed us a strange phenomenon, red tide. He told us this is what will happen when the sea turns to blood, I brushed it off at the time, but now when we have both coasts of Florida with red tide...

    Does anyone believe in Evolution anymore?

    The Bible tells us that in the beginning God created the earth in seven days, not a million years. It seems that the more we learn as scientific and archaeological finds come to light, the less people believe in Evolution. Scientist summarizing Darwinism tell us as follows: “Life on earth...

    What happens to the devil at the end...

    along with the wicked, as sin is brought to an end and those under its bondage meet Gods judgement? Ezekiel 28:11-19 11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the...

    Is 'Veneration of the Saints' allowed by God?

    You can say they represent the Saints, yet they are still of wood or stone or metal, and people come and worship them no matter how it is called. Now what does scripture say, does God allow even the idol of a 'saint' or anything made as a idol, lets see... "Therefore say unto the house of...

    Do true miracles of God happen today?

    We were reading the following in a Bible study and it sparked a discussion: Acts 2:16-18King James Version (KJV) 16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and...

    Did Bible possession get banned by the church at Rome?

    Now this is one that people tell me didn't happen, and yet history clearly shows what happened and who was the power behind it. This religious entity from early on tried to stop laymen from possessing or reading the Bible on their own and this intensified through the Middle Ages and later, with...

    The false gospel of grace

    ....to keep you under the bondage of sin. The false gospel of grace is one that has been cleverly devised for these last days which is almost impossible to differentiate from the true gospel. This is because the false gospel of grace uses exactly the same vocabulary that the true gospel uses...

    Doctrine of total inability/total depravity or do we have a free will.

    The doctrine of total depravity (or total inability) says that all men, as a consequence of the Fall, are born morally corrupt, enslaved to sin, at enmity with God, and unable to please Him or even of themselves to turn to Christ for salvation. Thus God must elect us to salvation, basically we...

    What is the sigfincance of the 'Black Hole' found in space.

    especially to Christians. The scientist are absolutely beside themselves after the pictures came in of the 'Black Hole'. Take a look... "Black hole picture could unlock new era in astronomy. When the first-ever direct picture of a black hole was unveiled Wednesday, scientists around the world...

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    Some may say, what is wrong with baptizing an infant? Well we need to go to the word of God and to the requirements for baptism. Baptism is for those that hear the Gospel message, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and repent of their sins. This must be done before a person can be baptized...

    When is 'Speaking in Tongues', true versus false.

    We find that the scripture shows us that it did occur, but how can a Christian tell if 'Speaking in Tongues' is being given by the Holy Spirit or it has come by a false spirit. Just because a person starts to mutter, mumble or shout unknown 'words' doesn't necessarily mean that they are being...

    Why didnt the Protestant Reformation unite.

    Its amazing how many truths Martin Luther struggled over and it even kept the Reformation from uniting into one church. Martin Luther continued to hold to many ideas he got as a priest including Transubstantiation, that the bread and the wine used in the sacrament of the Eucharist become, not...

    Unquenchable Fire

    Lets look in scripture: "And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh." Isaiah 66:24 “And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off...

    What did Christ say about the law?

    Now the law is based on God's holy nature and as such scripture states are holy, just, and unchanging, and we see this in the Ten Commandments. But then you also have the ceremonial law which focused the people’s attention on God and gave the people signs that point to the coming Messiah, such...

    What is the "Abomination of Desolation"?

    We see this verse in Daniel 9:27 (KJV) "27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that...
