Mark 10:13-14
And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. 14But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Mark 10:13-14 […]
Isaiah 30:10
Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits: Isaiah 30:10 The children of Israel had turn from following the Lord just as the world is doing now. They did not want to hear of see anything of the truth […]
Why does God not give help to angels in Hebrews 2:16?
For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Hebrews 2:16 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death […]
Repentance
There are several opinions on what repentance is or means. Biblically, repentance is acknowledging God and that you have sinned against him and his laws, accepting whatever consequences for it, and do all that is possible to make it right. In this same vein, reconciling ourselves with whom we have sinned against is acknowledging the […]
Oaths & Vows to God?
Should we make an Oath/Vow to God? Ecclesiastes 5:4-5 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. 5Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. Deuteronomy 23:21-22 When thou shalt […]
2 Samuel 24:1 & 1 Chronicles 21:1
And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah. 2 Samuel 24:1 And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel. 1 Chronicles 21:1 God simply used Satan to do his bidding. Here is another example. 1 […]
Two Misunderstood Commands
If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: James 2:8 Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) Ephesians 6:2 Many seem to miss the salient aspect of the commandments to honor your parents and love your neighbor as […]
2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14 This was written to the nation of Israel but just because he […]
Galatians 5:25
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26Let us not be desirous of […]
Romans 7:14
For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. Romans 7:14 Romans 8:6-7 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither […]
Forgiveness
Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves as much as others. When we hold onto hatred, we carry a burden that weighs heavily on our hearts and minds. By choosing to forgive, we release ourselves from the prison of bitterness that can poison our lives. Forgiveness doesn’t necessarily require a face-to-face encounter. It’s an internal […]
Revelation 5:1
And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. Revelation 5:1 The sealed book is the Book of Revelation being revealed by Christ Jesus. I do not know how else it can be interpreted, as the seals are […]
Are Heaven and Hell literal and Eternal?
Are Heaven and Hell literal places or just a state of being for those who are saved or condemned to eternal suffering?

As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. Mark 1:2 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Isaiah 40:3 Behold, I will […]
