Satan is the ruler of this world, as referenced in the Scripture verses below. Adam and Eve and indeed, by default, all of us, were the intended rulers of the world. When Adam and Eve sinned, they handed over the keys, as it were, to the world, thereby placing control and rulership in the hands of satan. (Unless his name…
When physical death occurs, life leaves the body lifeless. The soul lives on, moves on. The soul and spirit of the believer is escorted to Heaven; the soul of the unbeliever (no spirit – spiritually dead) moves to Torments (a compartment of Sheol, located across the great gulf fixed from a now-empty Paradise).
Capacity for human love involves emotion, thought, and expression. Genuine objective love is expressed from Bible doctrine resident in the soul of the believer who is oriented to God, and given out to the world in the daily details of life (1 John 4:7-8).
The first law of thermodynamics is that of energy conservation. This law states that although energy can change forms, it cannot be either re-created or destroyed, and therefore the sum total remains the same – constant. Thus, no energy is now being created or destroyed anywhere in the known universe (Reference Genesis 2:1-2; Psalm 33:6-9, 102:25; Hebrews 4:3,10). Truly, there…
We don’t need to go up to Heaven to find truth and salvation. Christ came down from Heaven to us, to seek and save us by His death-payment for us. The incarnation and the death of Messiah were for the purpose of resurrection, confirming His power and grace to utterly save lost mankind. Jesus Christ is Lord (Jehovah-God) whether or…
Veiled in obscurity in the hearts of those who love a friend is the true meaning of the unexplained – the desire of the ages. The whole inner beauty of friendship-love is known in the deepest of soul-friends as undefinable, but oh-so-real and forever. Enjoy now and hereafter the warmth and peace of special people and places.
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… These days, it is culture that is raising children, not the childrens’ parents. Social media directs their path, conditioning their attitudes and belief systems to worldly from Godly. The problems of men and nations result from a corrupt human nature; turn back to God, world. The affirmation that mankind needs is not from the world, which…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… The glorious fragrant aroma of the cross of His suffering, for us, will sustain us until eternity and for eternity. God measures humanity by His Son, Christ Jesus the Lord. The summing up of all things is in Christ, as seen in Ephesians 1:4-11. Our position in Christ is found in Ephesians 2:6. “(He) raised us…
The “I want nothing to do with organized religion” argument is based on the rules and corruption of human-created religion. This argument is valid. God Himself stands apart from organized religion. Religion is many things, and they all involve humans making life difficult for other humans by imposing man-made, empty ritual and excessive rules to infringe upon the free-will of…
Every human being on Earth needs to understand “the sin we’re in” and the resultant need for a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. Every human being needs to understand that each of us sin, and our sin is an insult to the veracity (conformity to facts; accuracy; truthfulness) of God. Every human being needs to realize that they are…
THE BREATH OF GOD The Word of God was literally “breathed” into the writers of scripture by God the Holy Spirit. This breath is the same breath that God breathes into every human being at physical birth.
