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"...

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...

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...

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...

Hi there, So just to give you something, that will help you relate to Christ: Jesus was the One with the greatest will to live, compared to any Man. It was through this will to live, that He learned to heal and deliver. There was mastery in this, in the end, for He lived so effectively for God...

Hi there, So a little help for my brothers and sisters in Christ, who are all struggling (bar the foolishmost). God doesn't always remove doubt. I have been in the faith and away (from the faith) and been back again (even back to the end), and I can attest that this is true. My past sins are...

Hi there, So Solomon says at length "as it was, so shall it be" (in Ecclesiastes) and Christ Himself says "this generation shall not pass away, until all these things are fulfilled" (gospels, from memory) - what is it, that happens from generation to generation, if we both come to be and...

I believe as we serve the sovereign God, he will fulfill his promises until us through our faith! 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people,who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin...

Bullying, such a disgusting word. Even worse such a sickening action. I speak from experience. I've been bullied almost my whole life. From relatives, classmates, to even my neighbors. You would think the bully would grow up after high school but no, a lot of them are overgrown children in...

Hi there, So I am a bekeeper you might say (I keep Jesus' words), and my focus is on the Holy Spirit to come. Something that has dawned on me, in searching the scriptures, is that our suffering on Earth will not be without reward, but that there will also be persecutions. In other words, for...

The concept of where we go when we die holds great concern in Christian denominations. Some believe in reincarnation, purgatory and other dogmas, while others believe in immediate judgment after death. This is evident in Hebrews 9:27, which states, “And as it is appointed unto men once to die...

Let me show you how to understand and teach others this verse, as this one baffles a lot of believers, who are taught it wrong, and it leads them into a misunderstanding about Paul, and often about "sinning". - PAUL said "" Christ Jesus came into this world to save sinners, of whom I am (the)...

What is Christianity? What is it really? Is it taking the sacraments, being sprinkled and confirmed, and dying in a state of grace? No. Is it joining a local church, being water baptized, and tithing every Sunday? No. Is it going to seminary and trying to be like Christ and then going...

- I wanted to give you something to think about, regarding how to get your prayers answered. And im speaking only to the born again. Not to the water baptized and religious. So, first..... understand that the way to get prayers answered, is to not do what keeps them from being answered. Really...

= When a person is born again, they enter eternal spiritual union with Christ, and they become dead to the law, for Christ is the end of the law to/for everyone who is born again. Are you born again and not just water baptized and religious? Then im talking to you. The born again become dead...

- Reader.. To understand why a born again person has been made free from sin, is to first understand that "God made Jesus to become Sin" for them. So...You have to understand that this has happened regarding all the Born again. = Jesus BECAME all their Sin. This is why Paul teaches you that...

- If you want to stop sinning....... you have to be born again......not just water baptized and religious, wasting time in Church on Sunday. Jesus said : "you must be BORN AGAIN", and "that is by my SPIRIT, sayeth the LORD". Once you are born again, you are to "work out your Salvation". See...
