    Did John really write Revelation while on Patmos? Maybe not.

    Read closely Rev 1:9 9I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. Note the word highlighted, "was", that it's past tense. Why...

    Understanding Matthew 5:27-8

    There is a lot of confusion that surfaces from time-to-time regarding the meaning and implications of Matt 5:27-28, which is predicated upon a lack of careful reading and understanding of what was actually said and the specific words used therein and their relative meaning. First of all, you...

    Does this verse describe all people who are not born again?

    To understand this you must understand it in its context; and to do that, you cannot just extract verse 44 and try to apply it to yourself today, but must go back to the beginning of John 8 to see who Jesus' audience was. He was speaking to the scribes and Pharisees of that day, and to other...

    Are you a gentile or a member of the family of God?

    What are you trying to say by this question? You can be a gentile, a non-jew, and be saved, meaning a child of God, a Christian, one who has been baptized into the body of Christ, or unsaved, a non-Christian, both of which can be a gentile.

    How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people.

    Can the nonelect ever be born-again? (2 Kings 22:27) With the elect thou wilt be elect: and with the perverse thou wilt be perverted.

    No. The elect are known to God beforehand based on his foreknowledge. 1 Peter 1:2 2Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

    The strange wording of Isaiah 43:10

    I find this wording to be very strange. See if you agree. Look at the word I've highlighted and ask yourself why it's there or if the paragraph would be sufficient without it. But with it, what is or could be construed to be inferred? I'll say no more. Isaiah 43:10 10Ye are my witnesses, saith...

    Does God have wings?

    As strange as it may seem, there are scriptures we typically overlook, suggesting that God has wings; not a wing, such as 'take you under his wing', but wings, plural! Psalm 57:1 1{To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.} Be merciful unto me...

    One Baptism

    The body of Christ is not what I would call it, but rather what it is according to the bible: the church Baptism is not for the purpose of an outward demonstration of anything to anyone. It's to be washed of your sins, to become a member of the body of Christ, the church. Who was present when...

    One Baptism

    God does not baptize anyone nor preach to anyone nor anything else of the kind. He left his work to man to do. Man does the immersion of others into Christ as clearly demonstrated by the examples found in God's word. Who baptized.the Ethiopian eunuch, Philip or God? Who baptized the Jews on the...
