The Bible is like no other book. Have you read it lately? It was put together by God to communicate Himself to us. He did this through prophets separated by hundreds of miles, over the course of hundreds of years. Bible predictions are accurate. Many already came true, and many are “in-the-works”. Jesus alone fulfilled […]
The Bethel Johnsons’ unbiblical teachings
Entering the earthly gate to deception, false teachings and rejection by God. Imagine, upon arrival to the Portals of Heaven, and there you are… personally with God Almighty who is sitting on His Throne. What will He say to you? He will speak to us all. He might even speak directly to you, you know? […]
God’s Think
I think. You think. We all think. But, what does God think? Thinking is necessary. But what if your “think” is not God’s “think”? Then your “think” will end so very badly when you reach That Day of Judgement, quivering before God in the realization that it is His Think that rules the heavens, not […]
Puny humans
…quotes about mere puny mud-men and women of clay – us. – From The Damning God “What God thinks. God has spoken to man – through the Bible. And He is the One that made it all happen. Doesn’t that sort of trump us all? Shouldn’t the Truths of God take precedence over whatever it is […]
Does it matter – what you believe?
Is it really all that important — who you are and what you believe? When it comes to God, getting born again, and what is or is not “a part of walking the walk” – does it matter? What is it, really, — getting “saved” and, following Jesus or following whatever? Does it matter? Do […]
What false prophets are like
Biblical texts about false prophets, false spirits, and their false teachings The Bible warns us about the increasing danger of false teachings creeping into our churches, of false teachers among us. Way back in Old Testament times this was a problem. See here: Deuteronomy 13:1-5 Amplified Bible (AMP) 13 “If a prophet arises among you, or […]
Getting down to God’s meaning
“…no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of or comes from one’s own [personal or special] interpretation, 21 for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.” – 2 Peter 1:20-21 Amplified Bible (AMP) When you drill down into the words, into what […]
Limited Thinking
“…Don’t fool yourself by your limited thinking.“ – Swift’s Amped-up Paraphrase of 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 So, you are thinking? That’s a good thing! And those thoughts are – what? They are your thoughts? Have you been able to get past your own thinking – and think with God and His expressed thoughts? What are you […]
Unbeliefism
I am amazed by the lack of desire to know what is really true. You see this “unbeliefism” against Christian belief all over the internet. “Unbeliefism” is a created word combining “unbelief” and “ism”, meaning: an oppressive and especially discriminatory attitude or state of not believing, lack of faith, skepticism, especially in matters of religious […]
Understanding Jesus
You can’t just sit and waddle in your own cultural pool – if you want to understand Jesus, because hey – Jesus was a Torah-fulfilling Jew, not you! Read the Bible from the perspective of the writers, from the context of that day – not now! Read to understand it – as it was written. […]
Discernment When Interpreting
Source: http://www.thebereancall.org/content/heaven-real-real-exercise-discernment The critical issue for discernment is not “how it works” but “what is being communicated.” All that a Bible-believing Christian can do in ascertaining the truth of a matter is to be vigilant by “searching the Scriptures” to see if what is being presented is true to the full counsel of God’s Word […]
Eisegesis vs Exegesis
Eisegesis (pronounced “eye-see-jesus”) is the very poor technique of interpretation of the Bible – according to what you already believe, whereas Exegesis (pronounced “ex-see-jesus”) is the much more accurate technique of interpretation of the Bible – using only the Bible and it’s context – without “reading into it” from what you already believe. Makes sense, […]
Christ – And… ONLY Christ
In an emailed daily devotional I receive, this week the writer quotes a Muslim poet, Rumi (Oops: www.ask.com/wiki/Rumi link no longer active). I guess he is expecting his readers to be impressed by his creative thinking and inclusive philosophy. The quote is not a biblical teaching – but rather, an Islamic teaching! A human being […]
About Biblical Inerrancy
…would God give us erroneous documents and call them “His”? Get real! Is God really going to give us the ‘truth’ …that isn’t!? The fact that Jesus “the Christ” fulfilled over 360 Scriptural prophecies – convinces me of the veracity of Scripture. Look at the evidences. Forget the critics! What about you? Are you […]
