It seems that they are trying to make allowing abortion , open borders and 'climate change' the most important issue on all the news reports, but research points to the inflation and soaring housing costs directly hurting people and the economy. We have other things which they are trying to...

I was doing a study on the 'State of the Dead' when I kept seeing references to the Anabaptist and their take. This really made me want to dig deeper and see what Anabaptist beliefs and doctrines were. What I found was the Anabaptists were distinct at that time because of their assertion of the...

We see churches dying as its members no longer come, and others being destroyed directly by evil itself.. I know everyone thinks their church is alive, because the buildings are there, and many names in the registry. But there are churchs with 500-1000 people, and yet they were 'dead', no...

Official saint making, or canonization by the Vatican, did not start until the 11th century, but as early as the 2nd century, the veneration of saints began to be allowed to spread by the pagan converts and came into the church. Basically what Gentile converts were doing was the same thing they...

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Genesis 2:17 When God said that man would "surely die" if he transgressed God's requirements, He meant that man would cease to live, and would return to...

The Witch of Endor story in the bible has some wondering if this is allowed by God and the implications. So lets look at the story and what it shows on King Saul's disobedience, especially on Gods view of witchcraft, wizards, or those that use divination. 1 Samuel 28:3-20 3 Now Samuel was dead...

We know the Devil isnt omnipresent, so how does he temp us, how does he know what makes us stumble, how does see what we are thinking and tempt us as even Jesus had to face it. Matthew 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. Does the devil just...

There is a false doctrine that teaches all people will be saved, that a good and loving God would not allow any to perish. They come up with many ideas of how this can happen, that after a cleansing period such as another false doctrine, Purgatory, God will free sinners and let them get to...

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We find many threads on what to do if you see a brother sin, usually to rebuke or point him out, but some times to just ridicule or worse things. But how about helping...

Now if you ask, the answer a lot of people give is that is a seven or more years at some time in the future. But the early Church was persecuted from the very beginning, first by the Jews first, then the pagan Romans, then the Papal Romans. So the Church was going through tribulation since it’s...

Like the Jews when they were waiting for the Messiah, Christians have their own ideas of what will happen before Jesus comes, including who will be judged and when. People as a given, tend to look to self as their first priority and see what they want to see, usually for their own liking rather...

Like the Jews when they were waiting for the Messiah, Christians have their own ideas of what will happen when Jesus comes. People as a given tend to look to self as their first priority and see what they want to see. When Christ first came, many of the Jews wanted a Messiah to save them from...

2 Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. We read of a dispute between the prophet Micaiah and four hundred prophets of Israel in 1 Kings 22. 1 Kings 22:1-26 1 And they continued three years without war...

We have the overriding and core principle that Christ gives us, which is to love one another, so how should we apply it in dealing people that seem a bit zealous in their religious views or actions. So when someone is taking a very zealous view or extreme some may say of a what one eats such as...

Soul sleep is the teaching that when a person dies, his soul "sleeps" or the denial of man's conscious existence between when he dies and the resurrection day. It's what is called the intermediate state of the believer, in which both the body and the soul lay rest in the ground and the phrase...

What does the Bible show us? It shows that it certainly is. In God's final warning messages to the world we find a call to worship the Creator. Revelation 14:6-7 6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and...

Its clear in the Bible, you do not go to Heaven or to Hell, when you die, you lay in the grave and await the resurrection. Scripture says it plainly, you dont go to Hell or Heaven, you go back to dust in the grave, nothing more. "19 By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return...

As I was preparing a lesson, it dawned on me that Satan would not have gained anything by Christ's death in itself. What he needed was to break down Christ to the point of death where he would be more susceptible to stumble and sin. Thus the beatings and lashings and humiliations to get him to...

Now there are many Christians who have a hard time to understand the truth about clean and unclean foods. In the Bible, God tells us not to eat things like Pork, crab, cuttlefish, shellfish, lobster, etc. God had to put these laws in the Bible so that we could know certain creatures are harmful...

Now I believe to what we find in Gods Word, that there is one God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, a unity of three co-eternal Persons. God is immortal, all-powerful, all-knowing, omnipresent, and worthy of worship and praise by all of creation. So how can we understand the incomprehensible that...
