Why does God choose whom He will to give Biblical understanding to?

Hebrews 11:6 KJV But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Are […]

Psalms 22:6

But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. Psalms 22:6  Isaiah 66:24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto […]

Precept Upon Precept

For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:  Isaiah 28:10   At this point, I have been discussing what is needed to understand and correctly interpret the Bible. I am writing these articles to those who have trusted in Christ Jesus and have […]

Psalms 17:7-9 ~ Apple of His Eye

Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them. 8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings, 9From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about. […]

Mark 16 – Longer Ending

Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. 10And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept. 11And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been […]

Was the ending of Mark 16 added?

Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. 10And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept. 11And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been […]

1 Timothy 2:11-15

 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 15Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue […]

It is said that God lives in us. What does that mean?

At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. John 14:20 It would have to do with the Spirit of God that dwells with God being in Christ and in us. 2 Corinthians 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, […]

John 4:4 ~ KJV vs Other Translations

Why does John 4:4 appear to be horribly worded in the KJV compared to other translations? John 4:3-5 TCENT he left Judea and went away to Galilee. 4But he had to pass through Samaria. 5So he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. John […]

Is preaching the gospel a calling
or a must-do for all Christians?

The first call as Christians is to be a living sacrifice unto the Lord, and it is called our reasonable service. Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. This is a call, a […]

2 Thessalonians 2:11-12

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 Honestly, I do not believe you can explain the insanity any other way than God messing with their minds. Most […]

Covid Face Masks and Social Distancing

The Bible, in Leviticus 13:45-46, mandates wearing face masks and practicing what today is called social distancing for people with infectious diseases. So why are evangelical Christians against both? Some seem to be confused about the precautions that were mandated and why those Christians who knew the Bible and our Constitution were against them. And […]

1 Timothy 5:17-19

Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. 18For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward. 19Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses. 1 Timothy 5:17-19 Deuteronomy 25:4 […]

What is Septuagint?

Notice the line “According to the Vatican Text.” and “with the principal various readings of the Alexandrine Copy.” The Septuagint is compiled form the Vaticanus and Alexandrinus manuscripts which are 400–500 A.D. manuscripts. In the “To the Readers of the New English Translation of the Septuagint, Oxford Press, It states, “According to the Legend it […]
