Denying God

Humanity is created in the image of God, and lives in a reality (or world) created by God, therefore humanity is not excused, rather condemned for denying the existence of God (as evidenced through the existence of earth, stars, sun, moon, heavens, intelligent design, the complexity of every biological life-form, etc.), therefore, man is without excuse. The evidence for God…

Logic – Three Basic Laws

Law 1: Identity law Law 2: Non-contradiction Law 3: Excluded middle Identity – 1Truth is 2absolute – untruth is absolute. 3Neither can be the other. Therefore, non-contradiction is “neither can be the other.” So, all three are absolutes. Human Logic is based on reality – patterned after reality. “God, our Creator, gave us truth. We added untruth.” The principles of…

The Thundering Essence of Prophecy

Christ’s First Coming (called the First Advent) was rejected by the Jews, and destruction followed in 70 A.D. by Titus. Likewise, when the dispensation of the Gentiles (non-Jews) is completed, Christ will come again (called the Second Coming) and destroy Gentile nations. Christ, at His Second Coming will, by the Word of His mouth – a mere breath, something less…

Textual Criticism

Formal Equivalence “Word for word” or “literal” translation of Scripture is termed the principle of formal equivalence as it develops and reveals as nearly as possible the structural usage of the original languages. It seeks to represent each word of the original text with an exact equivalent word in our modern English that most closely represents the original intent of…

God – The Need of Man

The Bible (God’s inspired Word) is the true narrative that answers the greatest questions of life. God has provided His truths of reality (His and ours) and His divine solutions. The Bible brings true reality into proper perspective. We cannot hear God as plainly if we’re not reading/studying His Word. Believers must be devoted followers of Christ, living what the…

The World, the Flesh, and the Devil

The Holy Spirit enlightens mankind regarding sin, righteousness, and judgment. In our walk through life, we either negate the working of the Holy Spirit leading our thinking-life (Romans 8:6,13), or we negate the works of the flesh – the sin nature (Romans 6:6; 8:4; Galatians 5:16; 1 John 4:4). It is always one or the other, back and forth, and…

The Great Restoration

Distractions of the world – enticements – interfere in our relationship with God. When Christ became incarnate (became human so He could be related to humanity), He did so to go to the cross so we could be “related” to God. Being in Christ, we are made holy because He is holy. We become adopted children because Christ is the…

Power in the Blood?

In the Old Testament Levitical offerings, animal blood was the basis for setting up a representative analogy, or a teaching aid. Remember, in ancient times most people could not read. The animal blood in itself had no value but was used to demonstrate the future sacrifice of the innocent Lamb of God (Christ) on the cross. Therefore, whenever the blood…

God… is Circularity, Causality

Eternity may be considered as: Illusion; both the future and the past simultaneously present; time is a means to measure eternity as endlessness – infinity; time is a creation by God with which to allow/cause us to understand God as always eternal – a means of thinking – an intellectual concept for perception; human-mind interpretations. We cannot know something about…

Lusts of the Flesh

Our sin nature covets the praise of peers, the approval of others, and our approbation lust runs wild… until we are slaves to it. Examples: The self-righteous person, those with an inferiority complex, and self-centered individuals. Egotism: power lust, the need to be seen. Bullying: internal conflict and misplaced aggressions. If you want to eliminate trouble in one step, do…

Satan – The Ruler of This World

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…

Common Arguments against God, Salvation, and Biblical Truth

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…

The Sin We’re in Blinds Us to the Sin We’re In

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…

Scientific Laws and the Universe

The continuation of the universe and the earth all depend upon the omnipotence and immutability of Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:17, Hebrews 1:3). “Scientific laws” is a misnomer. They are “Divine laws.” Science can observe and classify. Only God can guarantee the continuation of these laws. The universe will not always exist as it does at the present (2 Peter 3:10-12,…

Points to Ponder

The following is a theological presentation of Biblical knowledge manifested in Scripture and developed here for thought processes of the individual reader as guided by the Holy Spirit; ponder and reflect upon them, one by one. Any extension of Scripture revelation is an infinite undertaking. There is progress in doctrinal knowledge, but there is no increase in Scripture-revelation, only our…

Religion or Relationship

Someone once wisely said: “I left the rituals of religion for a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.” Authentic Christianity is not a religion – religion is ritual without reality.  Christianity is a personal relationship with the only living God, through faith in Christ Jesus (John 14:6; Acts 4:12). Read Christ’s harsh words of condemnation regarding religion and religious people for…
