What is the difference of exegesis and eisegesis? Exegesis is legitimate interpretation which "reads out of' the text what the original author or authors meant to convey. Eisegesis, on the other hand, reads into the text what the interpreter wishes to find or thinks he finds there. It...

One problem in many theologies is believing faith alone is enough for GOD. Peter criticized them for not growing further in the knowledge of Jesus and Christian living. Read 2 Peter 1:5-11. How many people have heard a sermon on this passage. It should be brought from the platform every week...

I have an old friend that thought everything she thought was the voice of God, therefore, absolute truth. She would always say, "God told me..." Anyone relate? I can. I remember that era when everyone was saying that. Of her, I was skeptical. So I can understand the skepticism that people have...

I just finished watching a foreign film on Netflix (dubbed) called The Wrath of God. I have goosebumps. It was the most influential movie I've seen in a long time. And I related to the madness so much. You must watch it in one sitting. Powerful. We must really guard our minds, and reading into...

Many misinterpret the first chapter of 1 John completely, so here is a way to understand John more clearly, to undo this very common mistake. Read chapter two first, and notice the difference between talking the talk (SAY), and walking the walk. Open your minds. 1 John 2: 3 Now by this we know...

With the east coast of America wanting to legalize the killing of a baby up to 28 days (probably for sacrifice by hard-core Satanists), Texas actually arrested a woman for self-induced abortion. Just when I was about to give up on America having any morals left, Texas stands strong! News...

Matthew 14:26 And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for fear. Did the Jews believe in ghosts? Do you? Just curious.

I'm curious if you also heard God say "NO!" when thinking about getting vaccinated against COVID-19. I know others besides myself who did hear God say no, and they were all Spirit-filled and that is why they didn't get vaccinated. I'm curious how many others heard God's voice and followed it...

The kenosis, or "emptying," of Christ does NOT MEAN that He divested Himself of His diety, but that He withheld His preincarnate GLORY and voluntarily restricted His use of certain attributes (e.g., omnipresence and omniscience - present everywhere, and all knowing.) Philippians 2:7 but emptied...

What some do not recognize is that there are two kinds of faith regarding Jesus. The faith in Jesus doesn't end in freedom from sin. The faith of Jesus in you DOES give us complete freedom from sin. This is when you are completely filled with the Spirit of Christ and have His nature. You become...

People love to memorize a line of scripture and make a whole false doctrine out of it without reading the surrounding clarifying texts. Ephesians 2: 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10...

Revelation 12: 7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan...

Jesus said in John 8:32-36 and 1 John 3:4-9 that He would take away our sin. And He does. Jesus also said to "Be perfect, as My Father in heaven is perfect." But most scoff and say, that doesn't mean in this lifetime. Why? Their own experience. But some have not experienced this life changing...

Have you recognized any doctrines of demons believed by other forum members that you never knew existed before joining a Christian Forums site? I have. Shocking. I used to be pretty naive of the doctrines of other denominations. But Jesus was right when He said of Sardis, "you have a name that...

Which Bible Commentary have you found to contain the most accurate interpretation of Scripture. I have been studying for years without the help of a commentary after praying that the Holy Spirit teach me God's meaning and there have been astounding revelations. I wanted to see if any of my Bible...

In today's Church it is deemed alright to remarry after divorce by many. Some say only if adultery was involved is the innocent party free to remarry. Old denominations such as the RCC say divorce is not possible under any circumstances. I'm curious how much of our mindset is from the...

I have always been taught that we are justified, and then go through a process of sanctification. This teaching has set up the church for weakness. Always in the process of being sanctified unto good works, but never quite making it. But when I noticed that the word sanctified is used past tense...
