What is the great nation in Joel 2?
What is the great nation in Joel 2 that will battle with the Lord’s people? Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand; Joel 2:1 The reference in Joel […]
Honor Bad Parents?
With regard to the biblical commandment of honoring one’s father and mother, should one honor them regardless of how they are like?

Understanding the Bible
I am asked many times how to or how do I study the Bible. There are what I believe to be some fixed rules in doing so that must be followed to have assurance of a correct interpretation. One of the first rules that must be implemented is that it takes work, time, and effort […]

Romans 12:3
Why does God give us a measure of faith? For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. Romans 12:3 Having […]
The Pardox of God Knowing All
If God were to know everything then he wouldn’t be free to do anything otherwise it would be considered a paradox to do something differently than predicted. How can omnipresence and omnipotence make sense together? This is the type of contorted question that derive out of the false understandings of Calvinism/Reformed and Arminianism’s teachings. You […]
Hebrews 13:9
Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.

Revelation 3:15-16
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

What is meant by “God Breathed”?

Hebrews 4:15
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Hebrews 4:15 Hebrews 2:16-18 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. 17Wherefore in all things it behoved […]
Does or can the will of God be changed?
It would depend on how the will of God is meant to be interpreted within the framework of a question. If it is meant to be understood as the purpose of his overall plan in creation and not an event in time then no, the will of God does not change. Jeremiah 9:24 But let […]
Is the scientific method biblical?
The scientific method use to examine the physical world is not the same methodology used in studying the Bible. Scriptures are examined more as a legal proceeding, the Bible is a witness in the case of God vs mankind. Jurors must decide if they believe a witness’s testimony. But lawyers may impeach witnesses by raising […]
2 Corinthians 13:1
In conjunction with Deutereonomy 17:6 & 19:15, Matthew 18:16 does 2 Corinthians 13:1 mean that any biblical idea must have at least 2 or 3 witnesses in scripture to confirm it is true? This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be […]
Acts 2:38
Does Acts 2:38 mean that we are baptized to be saved or because we have been saved?

Acts 2:38 Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with […]
