    The Only Way, Part 6

    Let us now take a closer look at, …condition, along with the various steps necessary for entry, for progress as antitypical or prospective Levites, and what it takes to reach the next condition, the “Holy condition” as depicted by the first chamber in the Tabernacle, the “Holy”. While we’re...

    The Parable of the Wedding Feast, Part 4

    THE WEEPING AND GNASHING OF TEETH The ultimate consequence of not responding to the call, and not putting on a wedding garment, is "weeping and gnashing of teeth." This difficult phrase appears seven times in the New Testament — six times in Matthew, once in Luke. The account in Luke provides...

    The Parable of the Wedding Feast, Part 3

    THE WEDDING GARMENT A crucial point in the parable is the absence of a wedding garment. There has been much speculation as to the source of the wedding garment. Some declare it was the custom in Jesus’ day to present wedding guests with garments. However there is little evidence to support such...

    The Parable of the Wedding Feast, Part 2

    TWO CRISIS In the parable Jesus dramatized two crises his followers must experience. THE FIRST CRISIS is God’s calling, viz. “But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.”(1...

    The Parable of the Wedding Feast, Part 1

    “And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables and said: “The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come. Again, he sent out other servants...

    The Only Way, Part 5

    “The Courtyard and the Tabernacle may properly be viewed from two different standpoints, the one representing the final accomplishment of those things typified and the other representing the tentative accomplishment of those things and the progress toward their full attainment. Into this...

    Who is the Bride of Christ?

    We asked: Are you saying you believe the faithful are the twenty-four elders? Who do we think the twenty-four elders are? Well for starters we don’t believe they are actual individuals at all. We’ll get to that in a short, but first a little clarification so as to avoid confusion, when we...

    Who is the Bride of Christ?

    This is not a teaching my brother, a doctrine this is a fact, the tares are not only in the professing Church but they are the majority. I would suggest a thorough study of the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares, but let us take a look at the first 3 verses. VERSES 24 and 25 “Another parable...

    As we had stated in out previous reply, there is only one Church, but there are seven stages in the development of that church. This Church being compose of both a true element (the wheat), and a false element (the tares), the tares did not enter into the Church until the last of the Apostles...

    Incarnation

    We agree with everything said here accept for the part about our Lord's pre-humn existence, we believe that he did indeed possess a body, a physical form and that it was a glorious spiritual body, not as glorious as that which he now has, but still a body nonetheless, and it was this body that...

    Who is the Bride of Christ?

    God’s will is that all those in Christ be fully sanctified, "This is the will of God even your (believers) sanctification (setting apart)." 1 Thess 4:3 Many have fully set themselves apart, “consecrated” themselves to God, however it is still up to the individual to make their calling and...

    Who is the Bride of Christ?

    As (Bible Students) we understand that the Church of Christ, as viewed from the divine standpoint, and as addressed in the Scriptures, includes only "the sanctified in Christ Jesus;"--those who have taken the step of justification through faith and, additionally, the second step of a full...

    The Only Way, Part 4

    “The `Most Holy’ represents the perfected condition of those new creatures who, faithful unto death, gain the great prize of our high calling through a share in the first resurrection. (Rev. 20:6) Then, beyond both vails—the fleshly mind and the fleshly body—they will possess glorious spiritual...

    The Only Way, Part 3

    “The two apartments of the Tabernacle, the `Holy’ and the `Most Holy,’ represent two phases or stages of the new life to which we are begotten by the Holy Spirit. “The Tabernacle `building,’ with its two parts, represented the two conditions of all who undergo a change of nature from human to...

    The Only Way, Part 2

    “The Courtyard, represents the condition of Justification, entered through faith in Christ, the `gate.’ Into this `Court’ only Levites (typical of justified believers) were allowed to come. These had access to the `Brazen Altar’ and to the `Laver,’ and did service in the `Court,’ but had no...

    The Only Way, Part 1

    As was stated in our opening blog post: “The Tabernacle is the key to the divine plan, which alone explains the “mystery” of this Gospel age, which is the church and her special call to the privileges of sacrifice now and of glory by and by." The thought clearly is that the house of servants...

    What Makes a Bible Version a Paraphrase?

    As stated in my reply to HiddenInHim we were speaking of the next age following the “common salvation” (Jude 3) during the resurrection of judgement. “Behold the days are coming” not yet, but very soon in which, “No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying...

    What Makes a Bible Version a Paraphrase?

    I believe we already addressed this in our previous post, but for further clarification, in regards to your first question like the rest of the world of mankind if they do not accept Christ there is no hope for them, there is no other way save through Christ. If any refuse as was stated, they...
