A new convert doesn't receive everything at once in case he is overwhelmed or feels he is under compulsion. God does nothing without first getting our approval. He doesn't grant us personally His grace and forgiveness unless we ask. Yes, on Calvary Jesus took all our sins upon Himself. He...

Receiving Jesus means accepting everything He is, and everything He offers. The Way the Truth, and the Life, and the abundant life He came to give. The above however only comes to us as we are willing to give Him everything we are, and the stink, wretched, barren life that was ours. It's a...

I think many are forgetting the context of Jesus's words. "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's..." We do not have to submit to civil government in areas where it doesn't belong. What's at issue in these last days in context of prophecy is freedom of conscience. Religious liberty...

But to give him his due, he did take it down when informed of the nuanced interpretations taken by his enemies. I do agree with you, it isn't a good look. But I would rather give him the benefit of the doubt than claim he is impersonating Jesus.

The civil power has authority over matters that are within its realm of jurisprudence. Civil power has civil authority. I'm happy to surrender our submit myself to civil authority. Civil power however does not have and never has had spiritual authority. I will never, and nor should you...

Not my original writing.... THE ILLUSION OF CONFLICT How THE Trump–Papal Clash Masks A Coming Union OF Power The present clash of words between Donald Trump and Pope Leo XIV has captured global attention. To many observers, it appears to be a genuine conflict, sharp, public, even personal...

Continued.... The falling away that Paul spoke indeed did take place just as he said. Jesus' letter to the church of Ephesus (Revelation 2) reveals the beginning of this process. During the ensuing centuries, political instability within the Roman Empire resulted in Germanic barbarian tribes...

Before we look at the antichrist, I want to look at the real Christ. Who is He? Let us go to the scriptures to find out what and Who He claimed to be. Mathew 12:6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple... The temple, the priesthood, and the religious system...

From my blog, (see signature), titled Revelation 13. Composites. We see them everywhere. They are all about us. They are called people. Every single person on the planet is a composite of his ancestors. DNA inherited from the sum total of all who have gone before make up what we are today...

Show us how.

You've already botched the passage in Colossians that refers to Christ as the Creator, you will do the same with Hebrews 1:2,8 , with John's gospel and letters, all of which reference the Son of God as Creator, and you will do the same with John 3:16 regarding His preexistence. Nevertheless...
