    "Willingly Refined?" By Gallagher

    Willingly Refined A reflection on judgment, mercy, and the fire that purifies Many people believe that God’s final judgment is a one-way ticket to destruction—that the lake of fire is a place of eternal torment with no second chance. But nowhere in Scripture does it say “there is no second...

    “Smoke Through the Window By Gallagher”

    Its fun, yet hilarious when you think about your life. Maybe its shameful and embarrassing. Is anything that we are saying meaning anything, are you being truthful, lying, deceiving, all the smoke coming out from the window which has the fire that is coming to consume you. Starts to grab for...

    Jesus was not a humanitarian by nature.

    Was Jesus worried about the welfare of human beings via spiritual suffering? Sure, but he himself suffered, many things including temptation and death. I don’t personally see in my own life that I have to humanitarian to be a believer in Yeshua. Even Christians are called to suffer to some...

    Death and Burial of Jesus (FATHER FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO)

    The Crucifixion 26 As they led Jesus away, a man named Simon, who was from Cyrene,[b] happened to be coming in from the countryside. The soldiers seized him and put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus. 27 A large crowd trailed behind, including many grief-stricken women. 28 But...

    Bible Study: Who were the 10 commandments given to?

    Subject who were the 10 commandments given to? In Deuteronomy 5, Moses calls the people of Israel to hear and obey God’s statutes. The Ten Commandments were delivered directly by the Lord at Horeb—not to their ancestors but to the current generation—with God speaking from the fire on the...

    What is your take? Satan was the Religious Zealots of that time.

    Satan offers all the kingdoms to Yeshua. (Satan was the religious Jewish Pharisees, that would have given all to him if he would have just bowed down and worshiped them.) The biblical verses that describe Satan offering Jesus the kingdoms of the world are found in Matthew 4:8-10 and Luke...

    Why legalism is not good, and why context matters.

    One thing most of us can agree on—the Bible is a wonderful and helpful guide. It’s full of wisdom that can deepen our understanding of the Old Testament and the teachings of the apostles. Exploring what’s written in those pages is a truly meaningful journey. And when you dig in, something...

    Dark Psychology Behind Cults How Minds Are Broken (Recovery from Cults)

    I've watched this entire thing and believe it has helpful information for anyone that has been in a subject matter like this before. Breaking free of those people who place bondage upon people, even give them new news, erase their childhood, and over all take control. You should never be...

    You might just be wrong about this earth being destroyed, and possibly other things?

    Many today hold the belief that caring for the world is futile—reasoning that since it will ultimately be destroyed, there is no value in stewarding it. This mindset often draws from interpretations of scriptures such as those found in Peter’s writings, which describe the end of an age in terms...

    Is Church Discipline Applicable to us today?

    Some assert that discipline should be enforced in cases of disobedience, even within religious communities. This raises an important question: Is God limited in capability, requiring human effort to carry out His will—as though the teachings of Jesus and the Apostles were insufficient for their...

    How the Word of God, Born of the Virgin Mary and Given the Name Jesus, Became the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY

    I’d like to share my personal perspective, along with a few references that have helped shape my understanding—such as the book of Daniel, the moment when Jesus appeared glorified on the mountain with Moses and Elijah (as witnessed by the disciples), and passages from Revelation, especially...

    Why do some people discredit Paul?

    Some individuals discredit the Apostle Paul due to perceived inconsistencies between his teachings and those found in the Gospels, particularly regarding the role of the Law and the nature of salvation. Others question his apostleship, arguing that he wasn't among the original twelve disciples...

    Do you believe the suffering is part of the walk of faith?

    While nothing compares to the suffering the Bride of Christ had went through in their day in age. Is there suffering that people who are faithful go through? Independantly. Some people believe Americans hate Christians, or whatever... but most will just be indifferent, and no one is being put...

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    People assume they have the authority to overtly cover and decide for others what is right and what is wrong concerning the bible. Is there a passage of scripture which one can take the bible for today, and assert this authority over people? Because from my understanding, there is no such...

    RedLetter Christians

    Just recently heard about Redletter Christians. Have you ever heard of them before? Apparently it's a section of a group of people that only read the words of Jesus, and do not go any further than that. Thoughts? Experiences with anyone like this? Please feel free to share.
