The Roman Catholic Church considers Mary, the mother of Jesus, as “once a virgin, always a virgin.” From what I gather, this claim is based on the need to express Mary as a pure vessel. The church goes so far … Continue reading
Habakkuk 3: 3 says God comes from Teman and Mount Paran. However, that isn’t to say that the prophet Habakkuk thought of those places as God’s literal, heavenly origin. Teman was a city to the east of Israel. The mountain … Continue reading
The divine nature of Jesus wasn’t explicit most of the time. It was cloaked and controlled by His humanity. Aside from His miracles, most of His actions often came across as the actions of a lot of other humans. Jesus … Continue reading
“It would have been better if we stayed in Egypt where we had meat and bread. But no-o-o! You’d rather us starve out here in the desert.” That’s a paraphrase out of Exodus 16: 3. The complaint was leveled against … Continue reading
As Christians, all our sins – past, present, future – have been transferred to Jesus, and remembered no more. We understand how the transference works, having been shown the working principle through the earthly sanctuary’s animal sacrificial system. But does … Continue reading
Having visited several churches, it seems to me that, regularly, we don’t live our understanding that the sanctuary is holy ground. Few pause to prepare heart and mind before entering to meet with God in holy convocation. We enter the … Continue reading
The Holy Spirit roams the earth; the power of His grace bringing salvation to all (Titus 2: 11). It is by convincing the heart that He is finally able to give and that marvelous gift is received. Before any of … Continue reading
This poem is by guest writer, M. S. Lowndes. The Valleys Of Life These times are to be treasured For all that God would do So we will be better equipped For the valley we must go … Continue reading
In my last posting, Sin Offering, I maintained that there is a guilty verdict declared even for unintentional sin. Part of the basis for stating that was taken from Leviticus 4: 3. It says, “If the anointed priest sins, bringing … Continue reading
Sometimes, sin is committed unintentionally. We see an example of that having happened in Leviticus 4: 2, 3. “When anyone sins unintentionally and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands—If the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the … Continue reading
Most Christians, me included, believe that Moses wrote the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. The JEDP theory begs to differ. The theory, developed in the 18th and 19th centuries, suggests that … Continue reading
Q: What’s the difference between God and a surgeon? A: God knows He’s not a surgeon. Adam was walking with his two sons, Cain and Abel. They were walking past the Garden of Eden. There were trees fallen, … Continue reading
Where was Adam when Eve conversed with the serpent and ate forbidden fruit from the Tree of Life? I’ve come across three viewpoints concerning this matter. Each is based on a phrase within Genesis 3: 6 that says, “So when … Continue reading
I’m guessing that most Christians know that when the Bible says God rested on the seventh day of creation week, it doesn’t mean that He was tired. This writing, then, is primarily directed at those who don’t know and for … Continue reading
It began as an area in space, an area consisting of land without form that was covered by water. All was dark. The angels and no other heavenly beings could discern the area. Only God could, the One who created … Continue reading
Faith in God is in the first brush stroke used to paint every Christian life. We are the brush. God is the painter. To be a masterpiece, the brush must not control. It must follow the hand of God. Unfortunately, … Continue reading
It ought not be that curse words are spoken by a Christian. And by the term “Christian,” I’m referring to one who is not only a professed one, but who indeed is a possessed one. A Christian who walks in … Continue reading
We hear it a lot; the phrase “seventh heaven.” Our understanding is that it’s the ultimate place to experience blissful and complete satisfaction; for it would be the place that God lives. We also understand the phrase to mean that … Continue reading
Because the Bible labels Abraham as the first Hebrew (Genesis 14:13) and because Jacob, Abraham’s grandson, had his named changed by God to Israel (Genesis 35: 10), all descendants of Abraham, Isaac (Abraham’s son), and Jacob can be called Hebrew … Continue reading
I pursue righteousness because I hate this world’s darkness. I get tired of it and am sickened by its pull on me. I look forward to the time that these effects of sin no longer exist. I, like all Christians, … Continue reading
