The “Sin Nature”

Arrogance of the Species We humans sin because we can. We sin because we have the knowledge of good and evil.  We sin because we have volition (freedom to choose). We sin because we have the Adamic (Adam’s) Nature – the sin nature; the “old man” of Ephesians 4:22; the “flesh” of Romans 8:3,4; the principle of “sin” of Romans…

Internationalism

Satan is the enemy of nationalism. Satan offers internationalism in its place in an effort to establish his own utopian kingdom on earth. Satan’s intent is a universal state which he can control and sit on the throne as God without God’s interference. How arrogant is that? Internationalism opens the door to a world dictator – the anti-Christ. The first…

Socialism – 102

Socialism is the human attempt to provide a utopian economy with political, social, and environmental “perfection.” But only Jesus Christ will accomplish a perfect environment at His Second Coming. If a free society is to remain free, there must be a strong military to protect the freedom of human volition. Therefore, every citizen must know and understand the divine gift…

“World” and “The Devil’s World” Defined

World in the New Testament is frequently the word “cosmos,” which generally refers to the system that grew out of the fallen nature of satan and man. “The devil’s world” is an expression of rulership apart from God, and comes from “cosmos diabolicus,” which means the world system headed by satan – his behind-the-scenes rulership through human leaders of governments, corporations,…

Ministries of the Holy Spirit

Five ministries of the Holy Spirit, which occur immediately at the point of salvation*:  The Baptism of the Spirit places the believer into UNION with Christ, making each Church Age believer a member of the Body of Christ, the Church, the royal family of God (1 Corinthians 12:13; 1 Peter 2:9). The Indwelling of the Spirit transforms the believer’s body into…

Socialism – 101

Socialism is a human attempt to provide a utopian economy. Socialism reduces people to the lowest common denominator. Socialism is a human philosophy designed to gain power for a few “enlightened elite” based upon class warfare, jealousy, envy, greed, laziness – by monetary seduction, and equality/equity. Remedies for equality simply create more inequalities. Socialistic ideology advocates equal results at the…

Armageddon: Recommended Reading

Always remember that all battles are the Lord’s. At the Second Advent (Christ’s return), Jesus Christ will destroy the forces of satan. God Himself will save His chosen people from total annihilation. Current events unfolding from the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the conflict in Israel, could signal satanic movements toward fulfilling possible end-time prophecy, eventually leading to the final,…

Time

Time is the very process by which God’s plan unfolds and rolls out. God created angels, then time, and then man to resolve the Angelic Revolution Conflict, and to restore eternity, in time, through Jesus Christ. The consummation of time will occur when all creation is restored to its original status-purpose by God and to the praise and glory of…

Victory Over Death

Victory Over Death, or Victory Over the Fear of Death The Apostle Paul expressed well both the life of the believer, and the physical death of the believer in Philippians 1:21: “For me, to live is Christ and to die (physically) is gain.” Paul’s life, after he was converted by Christ Himself on the road to Damascus, was totally devoted…

Truth MUST Be a Generational Thing

The basis for our study begins in these two short paragraphs: Life and death are generational. Truth and untruth are generational. Sin is generational. Faith and forgiveness are generational. Mercy is generational (Luke 1:50). Justice and injustice are generational. Righteousness and lawlessness are generational. With these things in mind, parent(s) have the responsibility to teach their children the Truths of…

Thy Word Is Truth

“Everyone that is of the truth, heareth my voice” (John 18:37). “But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them because they are spiritually ‘dormant’” (1 Corinthians 2:14). The Bible is “the mind of Christ“ (1 Corinthians 2:16). HIS mind is a terrible thing to…

Auditions

There are no auditions for heaven. The exception was Jesus Christ. Reason: No one else qualified as a perfect unfallen human being, one without the Adamic Nature. Since Adam chose to disobey God by the temptation handed to him from the woman (‘woman’ was her actual name at the time), every human being since Adam has the imputed nature that…

Divine Energy – Omnipotence and Immutability

To begin our short study, we’ll cover a few basic points. There are two Laws of Thermodynamics: The First Law of Thermodynamics is that of energy conservation. This law states that although energy can change forms, it cannot be created nor destroyed and therefore the sum total remains constant. Thus no energy is now being created or destroyed anywhere in…

Naturalism

Naturalism is the philosophy that there is no supreme power, no supernatural agency in creation, no spiritual influence, and that all life is pure chance without a God. (Reference Atheism/Skepticism for additional understanding.)   What does God’s Word say in Acts 17:28? “For in Him we live, and move, and have our being.”
