1 Corinthians 11:10 – Hair
For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels. 1 Corinthians 11:10 The truth of the matter is that no one, at least that I know of, has a sufficient interpretation of this passage to be definitive. Unfortunately, there are a couple of such passages. The context is […]
Hebrews 12:1-4
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the […]
Psalm 14:1 & 53:1 – The Fool
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. Psalms 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good. Psalms 53:1 It […]
1 Samuel 23:11-13 – Did God Lie?
If whatever God says comes to pass, did God lie in 1 Samuel 23:11 when he said Saul would come? Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O LORD God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And the LORD said, […]
2 Corinthians 6:14 Unequally Yoked
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6:14 Unbelievers are simply those that are unsaved not having put their faith in the gospel of Christ Jesus. It is an admonition on certain aspects of how to live our […]
James 1:19-20
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. James 1:19-20 Our wrath, anger, whether justified or not does not commend, reside in, or promote the righteousness of God. Many, men especially, have a problem being […]
Problem with the Pentecostal/Charismatic Movement?
One thing that stands out in my mind concerning the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement, which I believe is contrary to the Bible, is their non-biblical emphasis on the Holy Spirit. The Bible says that the Holy Spirit does not speak of himself, nor promote himself, but rather glorifies the Lord Jesus Christ. John 16:12-14 I have yet […]
Revelation 12:4
And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. Revelation 12:4 Stars can be the physical lights in the night sky […]
Arminianism or Calvinism, Which is Biblical?
Both Arminianism and Calvinism are non-biblical, as they both impose limitations on God. Psalms 78:41 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. Both have God predestinating totally depraved humans but selecting the elect in different ways. Calvinism limits the choice to God’s caprice; Arminianism rightly figured salvation was […]
John 6:44-45
No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. 45It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. John […]
Romans 7:1-6
Romans 7:1-6 1Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? 2For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, […]
Where are the waters above the firmament?
What exactly happened to the waters above the firmament? I can only surmise. Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. The universe is surrounded by water, the deep. It is where […]
What to Read?
The question often comes up of whether Christians should read/study anything other than the Bible. The answer is, read and study all you are capable of. Only believe, read, and study the Bible, use it as your standard. Biblical Christianity is not a cult. The first indication of a cult is in instructing its adherents […]
What is Born Again?
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. John 3:7 The term ‘born again’ is a reference to being saved, being born of the Spirit through our faith in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. To be born again is to be indwelt with the Holy Spirit at which time the […]
Two Rulers of Synagogue?
Why are there two different names given for the chief ruler of the synagogue in Acts 18 verses 8 and 17? And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized. Acts 18:8 Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, […]
