    The Divine Economy in the Ransom, Part 7

    DIVINE METHOD OF DEALING WITH THE CHURCH Now, my dear brethren, we have before our minds the Ransom, the necessity for it, the time when the Sacrifice for sin was made, and the time when the merit of that sacrifice is to be applied for the world of mankind. But, meantime, the Church receives...

    The Divine Economy in the Ransom, Part 6

    WHY THE DELAY OF OVER NINETEEN CENTURIES Just here someone may ask, "Why is it that our Lord did not make application of the merit of His sacrifice at Pentecost? Why this long delay of nineteen hundred and more years before He begins this work of blessing the world?" We reply, if it had not...

    The Divine Economy in the Ransom, Part 5

    HOW THIS ECONOMY OPERATES This economical feature of the Divine Plan is a most wonderful thought. By one man's disobedience God permitted the results of that transgression to affect all of Adam’s children. All mankind were involved under the original sin of the one man. "Wherefore as by one...

    The Lord's Prayer

    This is the correct thought, we are not to recite this particular prayer word for word, but to pray in like manner. "But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking." Matt 6:7 Don't say some written down prayer that...

    The Divine Economy in the Ransom, Part 4

    THE ECONOMY OF THE DIVINE PLAN Often when a child I wondered why God did not give all mankind the same opportunity that He gave Adam, why all were not permitted to come into Eden and have a fair chance as Adam had. But in later years when I came to see the beauty of the doctrine of the Ransom...

    The Divine Economy in the Ransom, Part 3

    THE DOCTRINE OF INCARNATION UN-SCRIPTURAL But we had greatly been troubled about the subject of incarnation, as even some of the Truth people seem to be; for they still misuse this word. There is nothing in the Bible on this subject, and there is no truth in this doctrine. *Incarnation means...

    The Divine Economy in the Ransom, Part 2

    ECONOMY SHOWN IN RESPECT TO REDEMPTION This Divine quality of economy is manifested even in the great Plan for human salvation. When first my mind grasped this thought, I exclaimed, "Wonderful! Nobody but our Heavenly Father Himself would have thought about this principle!" Having been reared...

    The Divine Economy in the Ransom, Part 1

    If you learn any of the first principle doctrines see to it that you learn this one, it is of the UPMOST IMPORTANCE and with a proper understanding will spare you from becoming entangled in most of the predominant errors, “foul spirits” (impure principles and doctrines) dwelling within the...

    The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard, Part 7

    God's Service is Its Own Reward Is not the service of God its own reward that we should be unduly concerned about how we are to be paid for it? or that we should spend any time comparing our wage with our brother's, or grudge that he should have as much as or more than we? If we recall the...

    The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard, Part 6

    The Last-called Gentiles became First Compare with the Jews the case of the Gentiles. They were not even permitted to enter into the vineyard until the seventy weeks of special covenant favor which God had made with the Jews had expired. They stood idle in the market-place. If any should ask...

    The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard, Part 5

    “Out of many possible applications which the parable may have there are three which especially appeal to us as having merit. In the first place, there is one possible, and even likely, application of this warning and parable which cannot fail to be very welcome to us all. We are thinking now of...

    Proof of the Trinity. No takers?

    Those who make light of the word of God show a lack of reverence and respect in the holy things of the Lord, such fell to realize that they not only dishonor the Father but they dishonor themselves as well. God has arranged for the student of his word certain basic fundamental truths which he...

    The Textus Receptus and/or the Majority Text is one of the most corrupted text out there.

    Proof of the Trinity. No takers?

    In this last I must agree with brother Dave, many are inclined to judge that if they themselves lack understanding in regards to certain things, believing themselves to be faithful Christians and students of the word, that it is most likely that no one else knows. This is a misconception, it has...

    Proof of the Trinity. No takers?

    Yes, but who determines whether something is known or not, that there are things no one knows for sure? How do you know no one knows, have you spoken to everyone? Now I understand that there are many arguments over debatable issues, the Trinity not withstanding, but we must not arrbtrarily...

    Proof of the Trinity. No takers?

    This is where you have erred my friend and pride in ones own understanding becomes evident. According to your satisfaction? This proves nothing and lends no support to your position, we are all generally satisfied with our own arguments, but the whole point of the discussion is to sway, to...

    Proof of the Trinity. No takers?

    So according to your logic God has only magnified His word in one particular translation, the King James Version? Thus the transcribers of the original King James Version were the only transcribers amoungst all the other transcribers who transcribed the original text, who were guided by the...

    What is the correct view on genesis

    Where precisely does "God" say that everything in Genesis should be taken LITERALLY? Please provide the quote and verse. (Note: I'm referring to the Genesis account concerning creation as to whether or not we are to take the "days" of creation as literal or not, not the whole book of Genesis.)

    Many there are who worship their translation greater than they do the one whose words it contains.
