I woke up the other day with a thought in my mind about a specific Bible passage. It was the account of Jesus reviewing the law. It’s popularly known as ‘the Sermon on the Mount’, and these verses in particular: 21 "You have heard that the ancients were told, 'YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT MURDER ' … Continue reading FOOL!

Election Sermon
Election Sermon Lately we have been reading books written about American colonial religion. These books are based on the primary source literature that is extant today from that era (15th-18th centuries AD). All of the resources acknowledge that American colonial religion consisted of various ‘versions’ of Christianity. They did not concern themselves with any other … Continue reading Election Sermon
Holy Convocation
Holy Convocation This blog came about as a result of an event we recently experienced during a holy day observance. It has to do with basic standards of conduct while attending a Christian meeting. So if you consider yourself a Christian, and attend holy day observances (such as one of the feasts or the fast), … Continue reading Holy Convocation
Sunday vs. Sabbath
The idea for this blog came about while looking at the scriptures pertaining to the NEW MOON. I’m not going to discuss the New Moon in this blog. But I am going to point out to you a significant detrimental effect of the politically-instituted Sunday observance that has replaced the Biblically-commanded observance of the 7th … Continue reading Sunday vs. Sabbath
Jesus Our Sabbath Rest
The idea for this blog came about after I recently heard a church person say Jesus is our Sabbath Rest in response to my comment that I don’t work or do business on Saturday because it’s the Christian Sabbath. Bible college taught me that Jesus mantra, although their ‘reasoning’ never really made sense to me. … Continue reading Jesus Our Sabbath Rest

In other words, we observe Passover to MEMORIALIZE GOD’S REDEMPTION OF HUMANITY BY JESUS’ DEATH WHICH PROCURED THE NEW COVENANT. However, the … Continue reading Remember
Jesus Take the Wheel!
This blog will do a quick analysis on one aspect of the American Christian theology known as SOLA FIDE (only faith). That is, you are ‘saved by faith alone’. To that they add, ‘once saved, always saved’, and ‘you can’t lose your salvation’ (eternal security). There are other ways they say it, but that should … Continue reading Jesus Take the Wheel!
Perfect Love
This blog will define the meaning of the NT phrase PERFECT LOVE. The verse in question was authored by the Apostle John: There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. (1 John 4:18) The key to understanding … Continue reading Perfect Love

It will be raised above the hills, … Continue reading World Peace
From Paul to Saul
This blog will take a look at Romans 7. The beginning of Romans 8 is included because I think it is part of the context of Romans 7. This blog came about from a conversation I recently had with a Bible academic on this same scripture. The discussion was pleasant and interesting so I decided … Continue reading From Paul to Saul
