“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.” -...

If the lady responds to the wrong preacher she will be on the path that leads to destruction in the lake of fire.

The servant who was given one talent didn’t do anything with it. When the master returned and called the servant to give an account, the servant had done nothing with it. The talent is taken from the wicked servant and given to a good servant. That’s not the end of the parable. What does the...

Those who worship the one God must worship him in truth. Those who don’t worship the one God in truth are worshipping an idol. What is truth? Truth isn’t the words of Ghandi. Truth isn’t the words of Mohammad. Truth isn’t the words of Matthias. Truth is the words which the one God gave Jesus to...

They don’t all know what is right. They haven’t been properly instructed.

It’s Jesus who is doing the preaching. God has appointed a human person to judge. It isn’t Buddha. It isn’t Mohammad. It isn’t your religious founder. It isn’t me. It’s Jesus of Nazareth. A verdict will be rendered by the judge. People will be vindicated and rewarded. People will be convicted...

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6) is incompatible with “ignorance is bliss”.

The modern day little old lady from Fiji. She has heard the gospel and rejected it. She‘s a nice woman but wants no part of Jesus and his gospel. She heard the truth and treated it as if it were a lie. I tell you @Pancho Frijoles this woman has made a decision that puts her in great jeopardy...

Universalists. No. I don’t believe in universalism. The implication is that what a person believes doesn’t matter. Just play nicely with others and everything will be fine in the judgement. I believe the majority of people who have ever lived, lived and died unaware of the gospel. It’s...

* It’s a great gift, but it’s not the greatest gift. *

The premise is that people who don’t know the truth are on easy street. That’s too broad. “Go and make disciples” Witness and warning. It’s a dangerous thing to be confronted with the truth and reject it.

A gentle reminder to readers. This thread is not about the Trinity. I have no interest in discussing the Trinity and discussion of the Trinity is a banned topic. This thread is about continuing education, in general.

Messianic Judaism is a a potential misnomer. Early Christianity was Jewish (a sect of Judaism and within Judaism) and Messianic (a Jew named Jesus is the Messiah). The modern Messianic Jewish movement isn’t very old at all. P.S. I’m adding a link to an article that discusses the history of...

I practice Christianity, not Judaism. That’s right. I have very little in common with you. Jewish monotheism defines my theology. It is unitarian in nature, not trinitarian in nature. My God is only one person - Yahweh, the God and Father of Jesus of Nazareth. It shouldn’t be difficult for...

The only churches I visited, with one exception, were churches connected with the Church of God, Abrahamic Faith. (The one exception was a Pentecostal church, in Kenya.) I spoke regularly in the COG churches on weekdays, training men for the ministry. Women didn’t attend the meetings. COG...

Another continuing education resource I’ve used in the past is edX. These are free online courses offered by Harvard & MIT. One of the classes I took was on Biblical archaeology. https://www.edx.org/learn/bible/israelx-biblical-archaeology-the-archaeology-of-ancient-israel-and-judah They...
