    Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit

    "Whosoever speaks a word against the Son of Man it shall be forgiven him; but whosoever speaks against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world (age) to come.” (Matt 12:32) This text teaches first that there is such a thing as forgiveness of sins...

    Outer Darkness

    You are correct on this last it is important to God that you do not blaspheme his good name and character by ascribing to him this blasphemous doctrine of eternal torment as the wages of sin, a doctrine contrived and taught both by men and devils. See A Great Blasphemy for more on this.

    Outer Darkness

    Although we can agree with your interpretation of what being casts into "outer darkness" implies, we can in no way accept your interpretation of the parables you have mentioned, it is self-evident that you are sorely confused. I would suggest more study.

    The Parable of the Pounds, Part 2

    Luke 19:11-27 Christian character cannot grow and develop in the neglect of the very means which God has provided for its perfecting. In such neglect a spiritual decline is sure to set in; and the more persistent and long-continued is the neglect, the less realized is the decline and the less...

    The Parable of the Pounds, Part 1

    Luke 19:11-27 "He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much."--Luke 16:10. The Parable of the Pounds and the Parable of the Talents, as companion parables, illustrate from different standpoints the responsibilities...

    Outer Darkness

    Actually the antitypical Great Day of Atonement has already begun; in fact its first feature began over 2000 years ago when the “bullock” representing the sacrifice of our Lord was sacrificed upon the altar, and has since been followed by the sacrificing of the body of Christ represented in the...

    The Parable of the Talents, Part 2

    MUCH GIVEN, MUCH REQUIRED Those who have several talents let them see to it that they too are faithful to the extent of their abilities, not being content to do merely what the one-talented man can do or ought to do. Such a one would not be a good and faithful servant, and could not expect the...

    The Parable of the Talents, Part 1

    HOW SHALL WE PAY OUR VOWS? This is an important question with all the truly consecrated, and one surely of paramount importance. Let us consider, then, that when we consecrated ourselves fully to the Lord, we thereby signified that we would hold nothing back for self. That consecration included...

    I think perhaps you need to consider your own advice here my friend, you're way off base.

    The Record of Creation

    The Record of Creation, Part 7 The Importance of our Position in the Solar System In the solar system, there likewise exists a special zone where life can exist, an area where water for the most part remains in its liquid state. This zone is called a Habitable Zone. If we calculate the range...

    The Record of Creation

    The Record of Creation, Part 6 Location is Everything “The Sun and our Solar System have been located in a stable orbit within our galaxy for the last 4.5 billion years. This orbit lies far from the center of our galaxy and between the spiral arms (of Perseus and Sagittarius). The stability of...

    The Record of Creation

    The Record of Creation, Part 5 “The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. Yet their message has gone throughout the...

    The Cosmos

    This of course is merely an inference, self-interpretation; there are no direct statements of scripture which state that the Lord created any of the lower creation in mass. With this we are in full agreement. The statement, “the earth and sea brought forth according to its kind” leaves...

    The Record of Creation

    The Record of Creation, Part 4 Although we believe that Prov 8:22-31 is speaking specifically in regards to the earth itself, nevertheless we do appreciate the interpretation as given in the Ferrar Fenton Translation. "The LORD formed me (the Logos, our Lord in his prehuman existence, the...

    A Proclamation against Tyre and Sidon

    Ezekiel Chapter 27, Part 4 VERSE 12 “Tarshish was your merchant because of your many luxury goods. They gave you silver, iron, tin, and lead for your goods.” “Tarshish” is Spain in this context. Tyre traded all around the Mediterranean basin, and Spain was known for its mineral wealth. VERSE...

    A Proclamation against Tyre and Sidon

    Ezekiel Chapter 27, Part 3 VERSE 4 “Your borders are in the midst of the seas. Your builders have perfected your beauty.” I believe the Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary states it well. “Tyre itself, in consonance with her sea girt position (i.e. being surrounded by the sea), separated...

    The Only Way, Part 24

    Returning to the Table of Showbread we note the following, “And thou shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one cake. And thou shall set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before the LORD. And thou shall put pure frankincense upon...

    The Only Way, Part 23

    In our previous post we mentioned that not only has the Lord prepared his table of food, but that likewise the Adversary has follow suit and prepared his tables. The following extract taken from The Herald of Christ’s Kingdom, Oct 1921, Page 29 well illustrates the differences between the table...

    Agreement

    “The wisdom which comes from above is FIRST pure, THEN peaceable, gentle, willing to yield to reason (but not to error)…” James 3:17 NOT peace first, but purity first, truth first. God first, his will, his plan, his way. It is earthly wisdom, which suggest “peace at any cost”, which commands...
