Romans 11:18 do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. 19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” 20 Granted. But they were broken off because of...

From the Tanakh to the Epistles, we read a story of God's Love towards mankind and inevitably, mankind's stupidity towards God and mankind. God starts it all off with a BANG... :p Get it.... just being silly... and mankind is created, unified and instantly provided for in all ways. The...

Right to it... Hard Determinism unapologetically makes all of Creation specifically performing God’s will. The Devil is merely an extension of God’s will, within Hard Determinism, existing and torturing to ultimately bring Glory to God, within Hard Determinism. Grace is UNMERITED FAVOR. If...

I’m beginning to realize I’ve squandered the money God has allowed me to obtain over my many years of life and it has hurt my loved ones and my ability to minister and volunteer. I’m at the beginning of my journey. If anyone is interested in understanding the thinking it takes to exodus...

When you study the B-I-B-L-E, you are studying about the ONE it Reveals. Yup... John 5:39 Let’s put this verse in CONTEXT. Imagine... I whip up a frenzy of unpopularity, by declaring a statement like the following... Hey everybody... You know that book, the Bible... I’m the main Character of...

Burden of the act of Salvation is upon God and God alone. (Isaiah 43:11 / Luke 2:11) Burden of accepting God's Salvation unto mankind is on mankind. (1 John 2:2 ; John 6:28-29) Any condescension of The Son in doctrine, at any point, beyond what is written as the Son's Own Will, (Philippians 2)...

Omniscience has always been downplayed by what is called Determinism, in my own personal opinion. I personally believe that Determinism condescends God.... and removes His sovereignty. I’ve lacked the words to convey this for many years now. But I’ll start with anchoring to Principles I agree...

Divine Determinism states Determinism to Varying degrees. What is Determinism? Determinism is a theologically lensed (Man Interpreted) statement that holds to the precept that “because God is Omniscient and Omnipotent, all occurrences in all of existence are God’s specific revelations of God’s...

I have heard people use the term "lesser light" to describe doctrines of men... that are post canonical, but refer to ideas that should be beheld when reading scripture. I'll be blunt... Scripture uses this same analogy. Click this link (Topical Bible: Morning-star) to verify what I am saying...

You just received the most wonderful gift you have ever received in your entire life! It's the thing-a-ma-jig you couldn't afford, but a wealthy friend overheard your need for this gift and they paid it's price, in full. This kind, wealthy friend even paid to have this gift overnighted to you...

1 Corinthians 13 ; James 2

The British SAS (Special Air Service) are military elite. They have an expression about warfare that is rather intense! When in battle, the number one target for the British SAS is the enemies head. A penetration to the head will cause the foe to "Drop like Liquid". This is a core mantra of...

Ephesians 6: 10 Finally, be strengthened by the Lord and by His vast strength. How is the Lord's strength made manifest within us? 2 Corinthians 12:9 11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can stand against the tactics of the Devil. Paul is making it painfully clear that the Devil has...

What is it to be doubleminded? If I teach others that Jesus can't save Real, Live, Sinners... while I myself fail at any point, I have become duplicitous. I can't emphasize this enough... only One was righteous in the flesh, soul and Spirit, and He was/is/always will be God. Double Speak /...

How many people have REALLY studied the Book of Acts of the Apostles? I'm going to venture to say that many Christians, actually don't study the book. I'm going to hurt some feelings here, because the book of Acts is literally THE TRUE FORMATION OF THE EARLY CHURCH. Before skisms and Isms...

Faith Alone is not the denial that "Initial Belief" (In Jesus, being God the Son Who Died, was Buried and Rose on the Third Day)... is our WORK... because Jesus taught us it is John 6:28-29. Faith Alone is not a secret teaching that suggests we should Increase our Sins because they're paid for...

Zechariah 3:10 In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, shall ye invite every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig-tree. In Zechariah 3 the Vine (JESUS) is differentiated from the Fig Tree (Israel) This explains why Paul begins the Tree analogy apart from the "Fig Tree" Paul is using...
