- †. Rom 5:18-19 . . Just as through one transgression condemnation came upon all, so through one righteous act acquittal and life came to all. For just as through the disobedience of one person the many were made sinners, so through the obedience of one the many will be made righteous. In...

- There's a case history of a man in hell located at Luke 16:19-31. Aside from the obvious discomforts that are indigenous to that environment; the #1 thing on the man's mind were his surviving relatives. He was suffering anxiety they might share his fate and there was no way he could get a...

- Some may feel that hell isn't an appropriate topic at a funeral. But I think that, other than Xmas and Easter, you couldn't pick a better time to bring it up, especially since Christ said that the majority is headed in that direction. (Matt 7:13-14, Matt 22:14, Luke 13:22-24) According to the...

- The Greatest (a.k.a. Cassius Clay) followed a spiritual philosophy called Universal Sufism. If the Bible has it right, then the three-time heavyweight boxing champion is now coping with something far, far worse than Parkinson's disease. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

- Q: What's the correct way to partake of Christ's body and blood? A: Well; one thing we can be very sure of is that Christ wasn't literal. The reason being that right after the Flood, God forbad humanity to eat living flesh and blood (Gen 9:3-4). So if people are determined to eat Christ's...

- Transubstantiation is a process wherein the elements of communion (a.k.a. species) are transformed into Christ's body and blood; which, if true, is a tremendous advantage for Catholics. Here's why. ● John 6:53-54 . . Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and...

- ● Matt 8:21-22 . . Another disciple said to him: Lord, first let me go and bury my father. But Jesus told him: Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead. The incident tells me that not all commandments are equal. In other words; the commandment to honor God trumps the commandment to...

- The dead are mentioned four times in the scene depicted at Rev 20:11-15 while the living aren't mentioned even once and that's because Christ testified at John 5:24 that the living never have to worry about being put on trial for things they've done that are hell-worthy. In other words: none...

- There's a scene at Rev 20:11-15 depicting the resurrection of the dead from a variety of locations. The dead are mentioned four times, while the living aren't mentioned even once and that's because Christ gave his word at John 5:24 that the living never have to worry about being put on trial...

- Human life is susceptible to death; viz: human life is a kind of life that's very easy to exterminate. Eternal life is quite a bit different than human life. It's impervious to death; hence eternal life is impossible to exterminate. If that were not true, it would be possible to assassinate...

- ● Gal 3:17 . .The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise. The "promise" in question reads like this: "I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you, and I will aggrandize your name, and [you...

- It's not difficult to appreciate Abraham's advantage. He had a certain kind of immunity. In other words; seeing as how Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy weren't instituted until after Abraham was dead; then none of the curses listed at Lev 26:3-38, Deut 27:15-26, and Deut 28:1-69...

English-speaking people who use Bibles translated into the English language never really understand their English translations when they refuse to use standard English definitions of English words. Failure to use standard English definitions of English words inevitably results in a Tower off...

- †. 1Cor 15:45-50 . . It is even so written: "The first man Adam became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. Nevertheless, the first is, not that which is spiritual, but that which is physical, afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is out of the earth and made...

- One of Webster's definitions of "pattern" is: a reliable sample of traits, acts, tendencies, or other observable characteristics of a person, group, or institution; for example a behavior pattern and/or a spending pattern. It appears to me that 1Tim 1:16 is saying that Paul is an exhibit of...
