Certain schools of theology, mainly Covenant (a), contend that the Church in her present form is but a continuation of God’s one purpose from the beginning of the human family (b). They speak of an “Old Testament Church” and seek to relate this to the one Body that constitutes the New Testament...

Yes, it’s another article on Bible translations! I believe the issue of false Bibles is important enough to continue plugging at the problem. The Word established our Faith and salvation; and it’s the Word that causes the believer to grow “in the unity of the faith” (Eph 4:13). “Exhort One...

Man is a “frail” creature! Even saints, who do their most to “please” God (Phl 2:13). Though they still possess the sin nature—it no longer possess them, by causing them to desire sin (Rom 8:9). The primary infirmity of the believers is knowing and hating the “old man”; and thou they still sin...

John Gill (1697-1771) Verse 19. “Because that which may be known of God,....“ There are some things which could not be known of God by the light of nature; as a trinity of persons in the Godhead; the knowledge of God in Christ as Mediator; the God-man and Mediator Jesus Christ; his incarnation...

One can truly believe there is a God, but lack the desire to believe in Him. Romans-One teaches that one can believe about God, that He is real, and at the same time not put trust in Him. Scripture says that He has proved to all that He is real by showing them all of what may be known about...

Although Lucifer was created with a free will, he used that freedom to oppose the will of God, and thereby lost it (no longer free to do whatever he wants—NC). From Satan’s fall from heaven, until his final fall into “the lake of fire,” the Enemy is enslaved and controlled by our Father...

The crux of Hebrews 10:10 is the doctrine of eternal security! Hence there is only one type of salvation—eternal salvation (Heb 5:9). Does it seem sensible to consider the oxymoron of receiving eternal salvation, then loosing it? If it’s something that one can lose, it’s not eternal. Eternal has...

Scriptural Baptism Dr. Kenneth Wuest stated that “the Greek word for ‘baptism’ speaks of the introduction or placing of a person or thing into a new environment or into union with something else, so as to alter its condition or its relationship to its previous environment or condition.” When...

Wanted to inform everyone that in order to extend the use of the articles I share, I will be sending them biweekly, as the source is thinning a bit. I’ll occasionally be sending personal articles in the meantime. God's blessings to the Families, and God be blessed! One of a Kind God...

Apart from the privilege accorded proselytes of joining the congregation of Israel—which seemed to bear little fruitage, entrance into the right to share in the covenants of blessing designed for the earthly people (Israel—NC) was and is by physical birth. The national blessings of Israel are...

Concerning the spirituality of Christianity, it’s always best to seek that which is the most important; and wisdom teaches one to regularly seek from God that which has the most spiritual growth at the present time. One can be sure that one of the most important of all issues at all times is...

I believe one of the most difficult mysteries of Scripture is that which involves the eschatology of Israel—God’s “people”! Many believers misunderstand the phrase “Israel, the people of God,” attempting to relate them to the Church and Body of Christ. These are Jews who believe in God but not...

I believe one of the most important teachings of Scripture is the truth that Christians have no covenant with God, but are recipients of a covenant between the Father and the Son, which is the “Covenant of Redemption”; and its primary theme is Hebrews 13:20: “Now the God of peace, that brought...

The entire system known as Judaism, along with all its component parts, is, in the purpose of God, in total abeyance (suspension) throughout this present dispensation, but with definite assurance that the whole Jewish system thus interrupted will be completed by extension into the millennial...

It’s not like when Adam and Eve sinned God had to go to a plan B. Was it not part of His plan? Isn’t He omniscient and knew what they would do? How would they have ever known what good and evil is apart from experiencing the sin? It’s my belief that He wanted us to be like Him in knowing what...

It is continually encouraging to know (esp. the more we see the “old man” at work in us) that God knows our most important desire is to “please” Him, because there are often times when this can be difficult to express, but yet ever remains true to those reborn (Phl 2:13). It’s when we are...

While Martha was cumbered about much serving (Luk 10:40), and her love, most true in its way, went forth in actively providing for the Lord’s outward need, Mary unconsciously perhaps, proved her stronger faith and deeper love by sitting at His feet and drinking in His words. The thought of...

In a dispensation where God’s mind is completely revealed we often find there is much fervor lacking in the knowledge and joy of the Lord Jesus (2Pe 2:20), and spiritual fondness of it all is at low ebb! But there will always be those believers whom God uses to increase the interest and...

But take the born again Christian—not when he is yielding to the old man (which all occasionally do—NC); take him where, in truth alone, so to speak, we can rightly think of a believer as such—in the exercise of his faith, in the manifestation of the new life which the grace of God has given...

Concerning man, the purpose of the Law was two-fold: manifest guilt (Rom 3:20, 21; Gal 3:10) and direct one to the sin solution (Gal 5:24, 25)! -NC Romans 8:4: “That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us.” By the righteousness of the law, is not meant the righteousness of...
