    What is Church?

    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...

    Is Christianity in the Bible?

    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...

    What is Salvation?

    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...

    The Voice of the Word: How Jesus Uses Scripture in the Gospels

    Introduction: Hearing the Word From the Word Himself When we read the Gospels, we’re not just reading stories about Jesus — we’re hearing the voice of the One who authored Scripture. John calls Him the Word made flesh (John 1:14). That means every time Jesus speaks, He is revealing the heart...

    Born Again = Eternal Security : 'In Christ".

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

    What Does "Christ" Mean?

    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...

    Understanding the Kingdom: Clearing Up the Most Misunderstood Teaching of Jesus

    Introduction When Jesus stood before Pilate, He made one of the clearest statements about His mission and identity: This single sentence should settle many debates about the nature of Christ’s kingdom.

    How To Be Delivered From : 2 Timothy 2:26

    - 2 Tim 2:26 Reader, Paul teaches that you can be deceived by the Devil if you are born again......>Not Possessed, but DECEIVED. Heb 13:9, tells you that what the Devil does, is, He brings to you a FALSE THEOLOGY, that is most often a false Gospel, and its people who do this to you who are...

    WAS JESUS A CARPENTER?

    The Word of God: From Eternity to Flesh, From Flesh to Eternal Life

    The question before every believer is this: Have you come to see who the Word of God truly is?

    Did Jesus ever use divine power for His own benefit?

    Your automatic, knee jerk reaction may be to shout NO! But think about it. I think this topic is similar to how most preachers keep repeating, “Jesus spoke about hell more than He spoke about heaven”. Once a popular pastor makes some riveting remark, many other Christian leaders pick up on it...
