How will God’s purpose for mankind yet be realized? Necessarily, by removing the condemnation resting upon mankind because of Adam’s transgression. This God made possible by having his Son come to earth and take man’s place in death. As we read of Jesus: “See, the Lamb of God that takes away the...

There are those that say God's purpose for mankind is the conversion of the world into Christian religions. Their are many people that believe this. They also believe that the earth is merely the temporary home for mankind, that mankind's destiny is in heaven and that someday the planet earth...

I have heard many tell me, by word of mouth or by texting it to me that the scripture at Philippians 2:6 states that Jesus is equal to God, or that he is God. I don't think that's the context of Philippians 2:6. In verses 2&3 Paul says, "Do nothing out of contentiousness or out of egotism, but...

Some say Jesus Christ was raised with the very same body in which he was crucified, and that fact sets the pattern for all the other dead who are to be resurrected. And Jesus now has that same body in heaven to which he ascended.’ These people have been taught this in the churches that they...

When it comes to God's purpose for Adam and Eve, was it simply for them to live a short time on earth and then die? Why did God create the earth? Was it meant to be only a temporary home for humans, or did God make the earth to be a lasting home for humans? Was our earth made so that with...

Jesus’ Presence It having been established Scripturally that Jesus’ return must be invisible, could it be that he has already returned and that the world in general is not aware of this? An examination of a discussion Jesus had with his disciples shortly before his death sheds light on the...

“THE Lord Is Coming Again!” The matter of Christ’s coming again is of interest to many professed Christians. But how will he come? Will you see him? By and large, those who expect Jesus personally to come again expect to see him literally, in his human form. Many even believe that they will see...

WHEN you hear the terms “soul” and “spirit,” what comes to your mind? Many believe that these words mean something invisible and immortal that exists inside us. They think that at death this invisible part of a human leaves the body and lives on. Since this belief is so widespread, many are...

The context of Revelation 1:10 shows that “the Lord’s day” is not a particular day of the week. Since it was “by inspiration” that John came to be “in the Lord’s day,” that doesn't mean some particular day of the week. It would not have been necessary for John to have been inspired to come to a...

The belief that faithful Christians will be bodily caught up from the earth, suddenly taken out of the world, to be united with the Lord “in the air.” The word “rapture” is understood by some persons, but not by all, to be the meaning of 1 Thessalonians 4:17. When the Apostle Paul said that...

Since we cannot escape the conclusion that Jesus’ words regarding the rich man and Lazarus are an illustration, what do they illustrate, what is their meaning? In brief they tell of the change in the relative positions of two classes of people due to the preaching of the truth, both in Jesus’...

Luke 16:19-31 19-There was a rich man who used to dress in purple and linen, enjoying himself day after day with magnificence. 20 But a beggar named Lazʹa·rus used to be put at his gate, covered with ulcers 21 and desiring to be filled with the things dropping from the table of the rich man...

IN Christendom the bridge between God and man is called “Incarnation.” The sense of the word “incarnation” is that God took upon himself the nature of man in the person of Jesus Christ. He thereby became a God-man. Although the idea of a God-man is not foreign to paganism, yet that the Logos...

God is love, the scriptures Tell us. If you think upon that word, It's reasonable to conclude that God loves life so much that at some point he decided to share life with others thus, creation was brought into existence. First the intelligent Angels were brought into existence then the...
