Replacement Theology

Replacement Theology simply stated is that all the promises and prophesies concerning the nation of Israel have been transferred to the Church. It states that Israel has permanently been cast off. You can argue when its founding principles were incorporated within Church doctrine but would not be wrong in suggesting the time of Constantine and […]

What is not a matter of faith?

One might think they know something, but they are putting their faith in what they think they know. It is all about what you put your faith in. God wants you to put your faith in Him. Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must […]

1 Thessalonians 5:1-4

But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with […]

Ecclesiastes 5:1

Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil. Ecclesiastes 5:1 “Keep thy foot”, do not stumble. “The sacrifice of fools”, running their mouths. Ecclesiastes 5:2 Be not rash with thy mouth, […]

Ephesians 4:1-10

The following is a sentence-by-sentence breakdown, which is how the study of the Bible should be commenced. Ephesians 4:1-10 1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3 Endeavouring […]

2 Peter 3:9

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord not being slack means there is a reason he has not brought judgment upon the world as yet not […]

1 Timothy 3:2

A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 1 Timothy 3:2 Does being the husband of one wife, as required for the office of Bishop in 1 Timothy 3, mean that a divorced man should not be a pastor? The qualifications […]

Pastor, Bishops, Apostles, Reverends, Prophets

What is the difference between pastors, bishops, apostles, reverends, and prophets according to the Bible? My answer, which I think is the more biblical one, gets me into trouble with those holding the current conventional positions. The care and feeding of the flock of God is not a one-man job. There are two offices within […]

John 20:19-23

Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 20And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands […]

Proverbs 16:4

The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. Proverbs 16:4-5 Revelation 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. Ezekiel 33:11 Say unto them, As I […]

Depression

Is depression a sin? Why or why not? Is depression sin? It is certainly a challenging inquiry and a daunting task to respond in such a fashion that it covers all the possibilities without being disparaging or insensitive. I have myself suffer at times with depression so I have a good idea of how debilitating […]

Feelings

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Jeremiah 17:9 Two words should never grace the lips of the saints of God, those who have trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of their sins. These two words should never be used concerning what a saint of […]

What is the Gospel

The gospel is very simple. We are all sinners. Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. Men inherited this uncleanness due to the fall of the […]
