    What is the "Eye of the Needle"?

    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"...

    Is "Epistle" a Correct Translation?

    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"...

    Just quick: there is a throne we can be judged from, as to our faith with other believers - the "new" throne (obedient?)

    Hi there, Just a quick thought: there is the "White Throne" judgment, where Christ judges the works of the believers; but there also a "New" Throne judgement, where we are judged purely by other believers. The point of the "New" Throne judgment, is to inspire us to validate each other and...

    Are Demons and Angels Superstition?

    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...

    The Simplicity that is : IN Christ #2

    Reader, Paul teaches that " as many as be perfect" = is a born again CHRISTian who completely understands God's Salvation. And when you completely understand it, you have "worked out your Salvation". So, here is the understanding. MOSES Law has caused "all the world to become...

    Who Are "The Common People"?

    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 Key to : Working it out : #2

    Reader, After we become a Christian, we are to always be learning more about Jesus, and more about our walk of faith, and more about our ETERNAL Salvation. And as we come to the complete understanding of God's Gift of Salvation, = to have this "renewed" mind, ....Paul describes it as ..."As...

    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 Helmet of Salvation : #2

    Reader, Let me show you how to put on "the helmet of Salvation". New Christians, or baby Christians.........all wrongly believe this.. = "as long as i hold unto my faith, i keep myself saved". But that is not God's "GIFT of Salvation""......as God's Salvation is Jesus on The Cross, and...

    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...

    Salvation is : Jesus

    Here is a short teaching on Romans 5. Reader, If you are a born again Christian, and not just a water baptized religious pretender, then when God saved you, you are saved. Its done. You have receive something that JESUS COMPLETED 2000 yrs ago, and told you so from THe Cross when He said...

    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...

    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?

    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...

    NOTES ON THE BIBLE

    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...

    Born Again = Not under the LAW #2

    Reader, If you are born again, and not just water baptized and religious, then "God hath made Jesus to be sin for us", as "the ONE TIME ETERNAL Sacrifice for sin". And you are : "not under (Moses) Law, but under (God's Grace)""""... and have entered into "the Law of the Spirit of...
