The discipline of "philology" is applied by historians when attempting to understand the true intentions behind words spoken in a particular historical time-frame and context, rather than wrongly assuming that word definitions found in a modern dictionary necessarily apply. For example, "deism"...

Reader, 1.) Paul teaches Eternal Security as being "Born again". 2.) So, if you are not, then you are not "sealed" because you are not Saved. 3.) The "sealing" happens when God puts the Believer "in Christ". = Born....again.......= spiritual birth. 4.) This means that God's Holy Spirit...

Means both "letter" and "formal letter" in Koine Greek. While today one can look up the word "epistle" in a modern dictionary and find that it refers to a formal letter of special importance, in the First Century world of Paul and other authors of the New Testament, the Greek "epistole"...

The word translated as 'demon' in most English bibles refers to invisible (to us) evil beings that are in opposition to God. The word wrongly translated as 'angel' refers to messengers of the true God. They are invisible beings who are greater than humans and who are on the side of what is good...

What is translated in most versions of the New Testament as "common people", means "crowd" in Greek. However, the vast majority of the "crowd" who followed Jesus around were most likely regular average people, rather than the elite of society. The religious leaders often hung nearby because...

The Greek "ekklesia", mistranslated as 'church' in modern bibles, means "assembly" or "called out ones" for a specific purpose. This was a term applied to a Greek political assembly and appears to have been deliberately chosen by Jesus himself. In the New Testament, this term always refers to...

CHRISTIAN: Paul never once refers to himself as a 'christian', while at least five times in the New Testament he refers to himself as a follower of "the way". The way was considered to be a revolutionary new way of life, centered on the true communism of sharing all things in common and...

Paul opens and closes every letter attributed to him with "grace" to you followed often by "mercy" and/or "peace", always listing grace first. He also says that Jesus gives us more grace and, we grow from grace to grace (more free, bigger and better understanding). Unlike many Christians teach...

Greek "christos" means "anointed" or "the anointed one". In Hebrew, "mashiach" means the same thing, which is translated as "Messiah" into English. Most English bibles leave this untranslated as "Christ", which is based on the Greek for Messiah. Whether we say Jesus Christ or Jesus Messiah is...

It is virtually certain that Jesus was not a carpenter as the term is generally perceived today. Many if not most historians believe the literal Greek refers to either a stone mason, handyman or common laborer stone mason's helper. Though ambiguous, it is believed the literal Greek may refer...

From I Corinthians 15: "For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received; that Messiah died for our sins according to the scriptures and, that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the Scriptures and, that He was seen by Cephas [Peter], then by the...

Reader, Ive posted a lot of teaching Threads on many "christian forums) that are strictly (Pauline Theology) regarding how to understand what it means to be "made free" from Sin, which is to become 'made free" "In Christ". And this is a core teaching from Paul The Apostle's Church Doctrine...

Reader, God's Salvation is Eternal. It will last for as long as God exits. Its not part time or temporary. Why not? Its Because God's Salvation is Jesus Himself, and its also God's Righteousnes, as : Christ's imputed Righteousness". See those 2? They are OF GOD, and God is Eternal, therefore...
