    Seven questions to ask yourself before posting

    From my X / Twitter “For you” feed this morning. “Social media is a battleground for opinions and controversies. Believers often find themselves compelled to offer their perspectives and opinions into various debates. It’s crucial for believers to pause and reflect, ensuring that their...

    Othniel - A Type of Christ

    Othniel is one of the elohim - in fact, the first elohim whom Yahweh used to judge and save Israel. He is a type of the Messiah. “There is a saying that goes like this, ‘the Old Testament is the New Testament concealed and the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed.’ As we study the...

    Not of this world

    Jesus, speaking to unbelieving Jews: “And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.” (John 8:23, KJV) ”And He was saying to them, ‘You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world.’” (John 8:23...

    Were Angels Made in the Image of God?

    “Question of the week: Genesis 1:26-27 states that God created humans in his own image. Do you think the angels also were made in the image of God? Weren’t they referred to as ‘sons of God?’ My answer: The term “sons of God” is used in the Bible to refer to either angels or to humans who have...

    John 8:56-59

    “‘Abraham your father rejoiced to see my day; and he saw it and was glad.‘ The Jews said to him: ‘You are not yet fifty years old and have you seen Abraham?‘ Jesus said to them: ‘This is the truth I tell you - before Abraham was I am.’ So they lifted stones to throw at him, but Jesus slipped out...

    The Magi and the seed of Abraham

    “Most nativity scenes are historically inaccurate for several reasons … What I appreciate about their visit ... most is this: they are not Jews. They’re Gentiles, not part of the covenant community. Yet they bow down in worship before Jesus as ‘the king of the Jews’ (Matt. 2:2). In these...

    The Zohar and you

    One of the books from the realm of Jewish mysticism is the Zohar. Most Christians haven’t read it and know very little about it. It’s easy to be misled when we lack knowledge. What is the Zohar? ”The Zohar is a commentary on the Hebrew Scriptures and the primary source of the beliefs of...

    To the only God our Savior

    “to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.” (Jude 1:25, NASB) Who is “the only God our Savior” in this verse? Is it not one person, the Father, who Jude has in mind here? Is it not Yahweh...

    “Scientists say” … blood in the water

    “Scientists reveal exactly where Jesus was born - and say it probably WASN’T in Bethlehem …” https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14209211/Scientists-reveal-Jesus-birthplace-Bethlehem.html The headline alone is nonsense but let‘s not judge the article by its title. Was Jesus born...

    God begets God?

    I see this proposed from time to time: God begets God. In fact, I saw it proposed on the forum this evening in a forum I’m not able to post in. The analogy used was this: Human begets human. (Would anyone disagree with that? I don’t.) Dog begets dog. (Would anyone disagree with that? I don’t.)...

    We have it even before we do

    “We have it even before we do.” It may sound like a contradiction at first glance, but it isn’t. It’s just a timing question. Primitive Christianity presents the idea that a person may have something which is promised by God before the person actually has it. What is promised by God is so...

    The Antioch Declaration

    Would you sign it? “Just as the Apostle Paul at Antioch ‘opposed him [Peter] to his face because he stood condemned’ (Gal. 2:11, CSB) for compromising the gospel of Jesus Christ by subjecting it to racial barriers, so this brief statement opposes the ideas of some contemporary leaders and...

The move marks the first purchase of Bibles specifically intended for use as an ‘academic and literary resource’ in U.S. public schools and is a key part of a broader...

    Congregation sermons

    ”Every Sunday a pastor preaches one sermon, but the congregation sings three, four, five or more sermons because every hymn or song is a poetic sermon that is set to music. … Never underestimate the importance of good, solid biblical hymns.“ Good point and good advice. Members of congregations...
