I’m having doubts. What can I do?
How do I become saved? I’m having doubts. What can I do? Have you come to Jesus? Have you believed with all your heart that he was the Son of God, died for your sins, and rose the third day? No doubts, no alternative plan? Have you all your eggs in that one basket? Romans […]
The Trinity and How to Pray?
A young man of 13 asked me for an explanation of what the Bible taught concerning the Trinity and the correct manner in which to pray. The following is my attempt to provide a biblically sound one. The Trinity is a hotly debated issue, and I am not sure why. Jesus, being the Son of […]
Amos 9: 7
Why does God liken Israel to the Ethiopians? Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir? Amos 9:7 Jeremiah 13:23 Can the Ethiopian change […]
Why is Sarai called Terah’s daughter-in-law?
If Sarai’s father really was Terah, why does the Bible call Sarai his daughter-in-law, indicating that they weren’t related? Genesis 11:31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram’s wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of […]
Matthew 27:5 vs Acts 1:18How did Judas Die?
And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. Matthew 27:5 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. Acts 1:18 The following is my interpretation of the […]
Zephaniah
Zephaniah 1:7 Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD is at hand: for the LORD hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests. Zephaniah 1:15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a […]
Marriage: Till Death Do Us Part?
Does scripture actually say: “Till death do us part”? Romans 7:2 For 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, she is loosed from the law of her husband. 1 Corinthians 7:39 The wife is bound by the […]
Can angels take human form?
Can angels take human form? Be not forgetful to entertain strangers:for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Hebrews 13:2 Apparently so. Revelation 21:17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. Daniel 9:21 Yea, whiles I was speaking […]
Exodus 3:14 – I AM
And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. I have been asked from time to time, What is the meaning of God stating,‘ “I Am That I Am”? I AM means that he just […]
All Men Are Created Equal
When dealing with the equality of people, the Bible calls it “respect of persons,” that is, it is against showing deference to one over others. All men are equal before the law; no one is to be treated differently in judgment. Hence, all men are equal in that the small and the great, rich or […]
Michal’s Children
Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death. 2 Samuel 6:23 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the […]
Who or what is Molech?
Molech or Moloch the KJV spells it both ways. Leviticus 18:21 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD. Leviticus 20:2 Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the […]
Golden Rule or Royal Law
As with most things, the world likes to cut God out. So it is with the Golden Rule. The first rule, the Golden Rule, is not to love your neighbor as yourself. That is the second rule. The first, the Golden Rule is to love God. Matthew 22:37-38 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love […]
Antinomianism
As I understand Antinomianism, it is the belief that once saved, sin is of little consequence.: “Everybody does it sometimes. Don’t be a legalist. It’s not a big deal.” Antinomianism: The theological doctrine that by faith and God’s grace a Christian is freed from all laws (including the moral standards of the culture) —Shorter Oxford […]
Which Religion?
There are only two religions in the world; the one or the other, the wrong or the right.
