I believe Jesus did return, just like He promised, and that He was seen physically by the people He said would see Him. That’s my conviction based on Scripture and the timing Jesus Himself gave.

Numbers 18 is good history, but it doesn’t really map onto modern ministry the way people try to make it. The Levites had a unique covenant role that doesn’t exist anymore. If someone wants to bless their pastor, that’s great, but it shouldn’t be tied to Old Testament priesthood. We give out of...

Hey Marklan, One time I saw a lady going around anointing the walls in a place I was working. I know she’s a person of faith who genuinely seeks God and believes in the Lord Yeshua. She came around the corner and I asked her what she was doing, and she said, “Anointing this place, we need it.”...

When I say “living by the Spirit,” I’m not talking about hype, theatrics, or the kind of showy stuff people often associate with religion — the shouting, falling over, or claims of instant miracle‑healing like removing autism or forcing someone to speak. That’s not what I mean at all. Living by...

I get what you’re saying, and I’m not against Christians being involved in society. Scripture never told believers to hide from the world. But there’s a difference between influencing culture through Christlike character and trying to control culture through political power. When Christians...

What a strange question to ask.

How James 2:19 Gets Weaponized People twist this verse in a few predictable ways. Each one turns a warning about empty belief into a tool for control. 1. “Your faith isn’t real unless you do what we say.” This is the most common abuse. Someone takes James’ point about faith producing fruit and...

“When the plain sense of Scripture makes common sense, seek no other sense; therefore, take every word at its primary, ordinary, usual, literal meaning unless the facts of the immediate context, studied in the light of related passages and axiomatic and fundamental truths, indicate clearly...

**Secondary Message: Why I Don’t Believe Demons Exist Today — But “Spirits of the World” Still Influence People** I also want to explain something about my own belief. When James mentions demons, he’s speaking to people in his time who believed demons were active. But because of the victory of...

1. Main Scripture James 2:19 — “You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble.” James is drawing a line between belief that only knows and belief that actually trusts. 2. What the Word “Demonic” Means Before we go deeper, we need to define the word demonic...

Matthew 5:43–48 can be weaponized if someone understands its meaning but twists it to control, shame, or silence others. That passage is about mature, God‑like love, not about letting people walk all over you. Let me break down why it’s vulnerable to misuse and how to recognize when someone is...

Here are three solid options from YouTube that match what you asked for — actual sermons or sermon‑style messages that support or promote Christian nationalism, not critiques of it. All of these came directly from the search results above. 1. Voddie Baucham — “Christian Nationalism” (Founders...

A lot of people understand exactly what I’m saying here: using Scripture to demand obedience to any human being is a misuse of the text. The New Testament never teaches blind submission to a person just because they hold a title. When Hebrews 13, 1 Thessalonians 5, and the pastoral letters talk...

When someone puts their confidence in a denomination, a label, or a group identity, that confidence shifts away from God and toward the institution. And yes — that’s the same pattern Jesus confronted in His day. The Pharisees weren’t evil because they had the Law; they were blind because they...

His people are the ones who live by the Spirit.

If the question is “Which major Christian church in the U.S. is closest to the truth?”, the honest answer is: None of them hold the truth perfectly, and none of them own it. The truth is not a brand, a building, or a denomination — it’s the gospel of Jesus Christ. Every major denomination in...

So going to church and being put under water doesn’t mean anything to a heart that hasn’t been changed. Jesus said the Pharisees honored God with their lips while their hearts were far from Him (Matthew 15:8). That’s what empty religion looks like. A person isn’t saved just because they did the...

it’s more than just a little bit of wording When it comes to baptism. Abiding in Jesus is the whole process of building up the spiritual person inside. It’s not about outward rituals. It’s about staying connected to the Vine so the Father can prune, cut back, and shape us into the image of...

Good bye. I’m done. Yeah I been saying that stuff over and over and over again. You just kept denying me the right to have opinions. Or whatever. Leave me be.

Grail, I’m going to step back from this conversation. I don’t enjoy going back and forth like this, so I’m choosing to leave it here. Take care. Anyone reading what’s been shared can see that no denomination holds the complete truth. People will come to their own conclusions.
