Many professing Christians believe they have been saved and thus can never lose their salvation. This doctrine, called “Perseverance of the Saints” or “Eternal Security” is a product of Calvinism and grew out of the reformation. It has been taught since the 16th century. It asserts that once a person is truly born of God and regenerated by the indwelling holy spirit, nothing can separate them from the love of God. Two points come to mind here, the first being…..
The formation of what is called the Union for the Mediterranean States in July of 2008 went largely unnoticed with most of the world’s attention focused on then presidential candidate Barack Obama’s Middle Eastern visit. However, it did not go undetected by many prophecy watchers including myself, who are focused on all major and minor events in that region. Last month the Union celebrated its 10th anniversary with little attention by news sources. This Union grew out of the European-Mediterranean…..
I’m often asked where the inspiration to write “Do You Believe Jesus” came from. Why did I write it? It did not just pop into my head one day, I have wanted to point out what I believe are discrepancies to God’s teaching, exhibited by main stream Christianity, for many years, I finally found myself in a position to have the time to put them to words. I reasoned, if I had so many questions about the truth throughout my…..
A reader asked me, “What is the meaning of life”. I will attempt to answer that question. I’ll start by saying, without God it doesn’t mean much. If life is just some freak accident, it has no meaning at all. We can all just continue in our self-centered ways and do all we can to please ourselves at anyone else’s expense. I envision a godless society as total anarchy, without a code of conduct or rules to govern it. If…..
In the third chapter of “Do You Believe Jesus” I emphasised, the vast majority of mankind has not yet been called by God. Those of the first resurrection will number a mere 144,000 individuals. They make up the firstfruits of those adopted into the family of God, called to become members of Gods’ government or Kingdom. At that point they represent the only group of “saved” among all those who were ever born, and they don’t achieve this status until…..
I think it is fair to say that most of those who profess to be Christians believe in a triune Godhead. It is a belief that is taught in the vast majority of churches today; yet it has not always been so. Jesus did not teach it, nor did those he taught. It is a belief that crept into the churches slowly, beginning in the second century and finally caught on in the fourth century. The Catholic Encyclopedia online in…..
A simple definition of logic is the study of the principles of correct reasoning. And there are several different types of reasoning, but only one that leads to definite truth. So ask yourself when you have reached a conclusion in your studies; does it pass the logic test? M. Rodriquez posted the following description of the different types of reasoning on the website “The Bittersweet End”. It is a brief but thorough description and worth applying to Bible study. …..
I have often been told by others that they read the Bible but just cannot understand it. Some ask “how can I get more out of my study and reach truthful conclusions?” The answer to this question is a simple one. One must free his or her mind of all they have been taught over the years and simply read what it says. Keeping an open mind requires us to resist the tendency to read into our rendering of the…..
In my recent book “Do you believe Jesus”, I pointed out the misconception most professing Christians have concernig the topic of being “born again”. And while I presented the correct description of rebirth, I did not explain the original source of the errors that led to this misconception of what Jesus was describing in John 3:3. This is a followup on that particular topic. The initial source of the current mainstream belief stems from a poor translation of the original…..
