Line Upon Line - The Shocking Truth

Paul's epistles in their greetings and acknowledgments do not put the Holy Spirit on a par with God the Father and God the Son, Jesus Christ. Note Paul acknowledges the Father and Christ. This same pattern exists EVERYWHERE. If the Holy Spirit is equal to the other two members of the God family why is it being over-Looked? The obvious answer is that as great and powerful as God's Holy Spirit is, i...

Everything commanded by God is beneficial for us. This includes the land Sabbath law just as much as it applied to the Sabbath law. Note why the Sabbath law was designed.

Growing churches will become targets of wolves; therefore we must train leaders within the congregations on countering them. These seven principles are obviously overlapping and interconnected but helpful to prepare and protect believers.

Paul's letter to the Galatian congregations is a response to those poisoning the gospel message. Therefore, to understand this epistle one must understand the attackers. The judaizing party came behind Paul's missionary work in a stealthy fashion after he left each town. They inserted teachers probably experienced Pharisee teachers who undermined Paul's reputation and his gospel message focused on...

A loving God is not turning over to Satan all the billions never saved for eternal torture in Dante's Infernal, hell. It is comforting to know that all our relatives that have passed away are asleep waiting their turn at the second resurrection when they will be given an opportunity for salvation. God has promised to resurrect all the dead- some to everlasting life in his family and others to a ch...

Baptism is one of the vital six doctrines of Jesus for believers. Why? Baptism symbolizes the renunciation of the past sinful way of life by the burial of the old man in a watery grave.

Christ gave a very powerful warning to all us prophecy end time watchers. It is that the date of His second coming and the end of this age of Satan/Mankind rebellion is going to be a surprise.

A monument stands in front of the United Nations declaring the world need not learn war any longer. The quotes are from the Bible. You can be certain that if they were founding the UN today they would never choose the Bible for such a prominent quotation source. But the prophets stated God's intentions coming soon historically:

A statement by Jesus can lead some believers to fear money or any level of wealth. What should a wise, balanced believer make of this verse?

The modern world embraces a death culture from abortion to euthanasia not knowing that these things have an unknown distant past. ONE OF THE ODDEST things revealed in Bible history is the magnetic attraction of paganism idolatry and false gods like Molech a death god. Whenever Israel lost strong Bible leadership they would slip back into paganism,why?

Does the Apostle Paul state in Romans 10:13 that all a believer has to do is call out the name of Jesus to be saved? Is it sort of like a magic word or phrase needed for salvation- Is this true? Is it just that easy or is it a misunderstanding when taken out of context?

The first half of the epistle by the Apostle Paul, is about doctrinal poisons that threatened this congregation that had never seen him. He explains that Christ is the head of the church and all things must focus on Him. Jesus's headship is vital.

Our goal is to know God not just about him. We need to know Jehovah our God, and His laws, how He thinks, of course, thereby to really understand. We need to use Bible study to help develop a deep relationship with God.

Some Bible scholars assert that Paul canceled the Old Testament Holy Days for New Covenant gentile believers. Other scholars assert the obvious truth that these Holy Days were observed by the early church.

Timothy was Paul's primary successor in his missionary work to the gentile world. Paul realized that the younger man would be around, hopefully for many years afterwards. Therefore the training of Timothy was crucial.

One critical example is the struggle to maintain true leadership in Corinth. In order to fully understand the books of Corinth in the Bible, one must better see the full context. Because of false apostles that crept in after Paul's departure, he is forced to defend his authority to lead. One will more fully benefit from and understand II Corinthians when seen in this context. They challenge whethe...

Before he is destroyed by a returning Christ and His saints, he will exalt himself beyond measure.

Daniel 7:7-8 NKJV 7 "After this I saw...a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. 8 "I was considering the horns, and there was another horn, a little one, coming up among them, before whom three of t...

The natural starting point is the surety of the inspiration and existence of a super natural Being allows for a solid foundation. The complexity and obvious design of everything in our universe proves the existence of God. The complexity of DNA alone is enough to indicate God's great biological engineering.

Malachi's Strong Warning for Israelite's who doubted God's Love is shocking! The last Prophet gave some startling messages to the returnees about their love for the most high God. God loves His people even when they are misguided. The people were not appreciating or feeling the blessings, and said to God " How have you loved us?" God replies bluntly

Malachi's Challenge : Do You Really Love God ?

God in His fairness, has another time period for most to gain salvation because most in this age, are allowed to be deceived by Satan. This period is often referred to as the day of salvation when all get a fair chance to repent. One cannot repent if they are blinded to the full truth about right and wrong. This world is clearly deceived but note:

The Biblical Days are not arbitrary, they convey the salvation plan of God to us. Note the first one-the Passover, it conveys the message of God passing over our sins because of the blood of the Lamb.
