Some time ago danp posted a topic "Why Acts 2:38 is misunderstood." I replied to the post, about the 6th reply down from his original post. Please take a look at it... http://www.christianityboard.com/topic/13779-why-acts-238-is-misunderstood/ I have quite a few books in my library that...

Well, here it goes AGAIN. Over the last forty years I've seen this (end time predictions) over a dozen times. The news people have a "field day" with laughter on the premillennalist. The news media draws cartoons of men carrying signs with "end of world" on them. The premillennialist gives...

Someone made a statement on the Debate Forum that "a priest had to be a Levite." This is a true statement, but not a complete truth. In this short writing I will show you that it is true that a priest is a Levite. But I will also show you NOT all Levites are priests. God offered to make...

(I've noticed that many times when I post my words run together. Anyone have the same problem? Let me know please) Have you got God’s“mark upon your forehead?” 3And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, where upon it was, to the threshold of the house: and he called...

Note: Please overlook some words "running together." For some reason the server at Christianityboard is running some words together. It may be because I changed the font size after I posted? We received an envelope in our mailbox at the church building this week. The envelope was large...

Learning from O.T. Prophetic Language When God spoke of prophetic events that would come upon peoples and nations sometimes He spoke using words and ideas of grandeur, of fantastic proportions, of celestial significance. When He did this, it is not language that signifies an absolutely...

The Greek word “ekklisia” is translated both as “church and assembly” in the N.T. I have tried to use “assembly” as much as I can to convey the idea of what an assembly (church) really is. I have written more on this definition of assembly in another post I titled “Is “church” religious name?”...

What is the Church? Many use this term “church” to mean a building or a location where religious people meet. Is this the definition? How is “church” used in the Bible? Is it a New Testament term? We have to be careful as the way we used a word depends on the idea we have of the thing...

I guess there must be a reason for calling the first half of our bible the "Old Testament"? (Old Covenant). There are many covenants in the first half of our bible. The only covenant I can see in the New Testament that is made reference to is the one made on Sinai (Ex 34:27ff; Deut 5:2ff...

Sabbath Keepers. (Two Types) A Sabbath keeper is one who worships on the 7th day of the week. We call this day Saturday. There are many “brands” of Sabbath-keepers such as the 7th Day Baptist, Church of God 7th Day, World Wide Church of God, 7th Day Adventist, Davidians, etc. etc. Their...

Disclaimer: These are some “amillennial” thoughts on the Book of Revelation. Warning, if you have some holy cows in your closet you may not want to read my thoughts. (I will not debate with you on a “yes it is” and a “no it isn’t”… this takes up to much of my time. I’ve heard most...

Preachers ARE NOT Pastors. The New Testament does not refer to its evangelists or preacher as pastors. This is a DENOMINATIONAL misuse of the term. Nor is there a difference between an evangelist and a gospel preacher, a man who preachers for a local church as Timothy did in Ephesus. The...

Signs of Impending Destruction A VERSE BY VERSE LOOK AT MATTHEW 24 OF THE SIGNS. Messiah Jesus is asked the question: “Matthew 24:3 3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy...
