There are several narratives within Scripture that represent an obvious undoing of creation. These narratives, with one exception, are when God destroys the planet totally. For example, the Flood narrative represents an undoing of the creation and then a subsequent "recreation." This is made...
The OT has many prophecies in it that in fact prove that Jesus is the Christ. Paul and other NT Apostles used to reason these prophecies through with the Jews to attempt to convert them to Christianity. In this post I will comment on just a few of these prophecies that were fulfilled with...
The narratives of Exodus/Leviticus are an extremely interesting part of the Torah, and something that we must take a closer look at - particularly in relation to the NT.
Exodus shows us how God destroyed Pharaoh/Egypt (a world superpower at the time) in order to try to dwell among his people...
The timing of Christ's return has intrigued many over the millenia. Countless individuals have thought that Christ was going to return during their lifetimes or on a specific date, only to be disappointed time and time again.
Some have even given up waiting for the return, with it becoming a...
Modern christianity has been preaching a false god for awhile now. He is a user-friendly god - a sort of grandfather in the skies - the sort that human nature loves to hear about. He is not the real God of the Bible and not the real Creator of the universe. Modern christianity cannot preach the...
Contrary to what many may think, Jesus Christ demanded radical obedience to his commands. In this post I will further illustrate this. Indeed, this is one of the reasons why Christ said emphatically that obedience to his true gospel would bring with it persecutions.
"17 And when he was gone...
In this blog entry we will examine in more specific detail why the world hates Christ's disciples.
Over and over and over again, throughout the NT, we find Jesus Christ making the most astonishing claims about the reception his true followers will get from others. For example:
"18If the...
We are now at a very dangerous point in time where human nature is now proclaimed God. Basically, if it will not cater to human nature then it must be false, evil, irrational, crazy, unjust, etc.
Christianity (false Christianity, of course, which is sort of an oxymoron) has not escaped this...
As the Apostle Paul said, we are in perilous times (and have been in them for quite some time):
"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3...
Jesus Christ warns that all of his true followers will be persecuted. Now, why exactly would this be? Why is the rest of humanity out to get Christ and his followers?
"9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's...
"4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many." Mt. 24:4-5
This verse is usually taken to be talking about false Christs, but it is not. It is actually describing a false salvation...
There are many obstacles that Jesus Christ lists to the kingdom of heaven which we must be constantly guarding ourselves against. These are very serious obstacles which could cause a serious fall in an individual's life - perhaps a fall which cannot be recovered from. One of the best places...
