God’s Forgiveness The vast majority of the original [...]
Which is true, Scripture or science? Which can be disproved? Science has provided much in terms of modern accomplishments because of its system of being able to replicate observable experiments. However, when discussing origins, science cannot replicate those observable experiments. An honest investigation of the science of beginnings shows [...]
The “All” inclusiveness is not only a NT teaching. Isaiah, in the Old Testament, already spoke about All in chapter 25 “God will prepare a feast for all people, He will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers up all nations. He will eliminate death, [...]
When we are raising our children we make it very clear to them: NO means NO, we ask them the question; what part of the word NO don't you understand, if they persist in their behaviour. Thus emphasising the seriousness of the word NO. But what about the word [...]
PRIESTS & PERFORMERS Performers stand at the street corners shouting their knowledge, stats, and accolades. They will lure you in with a word that will momentarily Band-Aid your pain and then empty your pockets. They know the verbiage to draw in the masses but give you nothing. They are brokers [...]
“The fullness of him who fills all in all.” Ephesians 1:23 After the prayers of Christ on your behalf claiming your total union with himself and God, do you believe that there remain two beings within yourself? Within you is there still an illusion of a person with a life [...]
Where do curses fit in with a loving God? No where! God is love and therefore He only gives us good gifts, not curses. Curses will come into existence where people start believing lies about themselves, who they really are as the sons and daughters of God as part [...]
We have all read books or watched TV where curses or spells were uttered in the course of the storyline or the program. But what are curses, are they real and how can they affect us, if they can affect us at all. Are they used by the powers [...]
Once again, our English words seem to fail to explain the many nuances that our Hebrew and Greek scriptures express. Even in our own culture we use the word ‘heart’ with different meanings in different situations. Is it a muscular blood-pump? A mystical crucible for holding warm-fuzzies? The central [...]

The traditional style of evangelism declares that we are all ‘filthy sinners’ and are bound for hell unless we repent. This is what you would call a real judgemental style of evangelism - the 'Fire and Brimstone' message. This is in stark contrast to the real truth of evangelism, [...]
Evangelism is defined as the sharing of good news (gospel). For Christianity, that ‘good news’ concerns the restoration/presentation of our identity in God, and of His in-dwelling presence in all of humanity through Christ Jesus. The purpose of evangelism is to awaken men, women, and children to their position [...]
And then onto verse 7 (Mirror), “Don't be surprised when I say to you (humanity plural) You couldn't get here in the flesh unless you got here from above”. For you the most benefit will be: the awareness, the understanding that you are both flesh and spirit. We have [...]
What is the evangelical, traditional, usage and understanding of ‘being born again’? Is there such a thing as ‘born again’? What do we understand by it? Do we understand it at all? Do we have the right understanding of Jesus' words? Have the words or the meaning of the [...]
We are all familiar with the statues, carvings and paintings depicting various gods from different cultures. In the West the gods of Olympus, Rome and Egypt have shaped and guided our psyche for millenia. Other cultures such as the sub-continent, mesoamerica and the orient all have their own, though [...]
What do we know about zeal: Looking on the internet we’ll find: “zeal optics” sunglasses or goggles, and “zeal, an offline documentation browser”, “zeal kitchenware” etc. But this is not what we want to talk about here. What is this zeal? Zeal is dedication or enthusiasm for something. If [...]
Conditional or Unconditional Which of these covenants described above were conditional? Though Noah was required to ‘build an ark’ antediluvian, and Abraham was required to love his wife, and the Israelites needed to cover their lintels with blood, it is easy to see that God provided for and fulfilled [...]
Kingdom And yet our Lord gave us but one ‘law’, though in three parts: “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with [...]
Christian So, if Israelites were separated by the 10 Commandments from the Gentiles who have only 7 Laws, how should the two groups relate to each other, or even within their own differing cultures, especially for the new group called Christians. In Acts 15:22-29 we find that James proclaims [...]
Davidic In 2 Samuel chapter 7 God makes a covenant with David. There is nothing David needs to do to be a beneficiary of this covenant, nor does God threaten him with losing any benefits because of any of his actions. The covenant covers 7 blessings God promises to [...]
Mosaic In the 6th chapter of Exodus, verses 6 to 8, we read, “Therefore say to the children of Israel: ‘I am the Lord; I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, I will rescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with [...]
Abrahamic Genesis 12:1-3 lists the 3 promises God made to Abram. These being the promise of land, seed and blessings. The formalizing of the contract is reported in Genesis 15, with God declaring “I will” and moving between the carcasses as Abram slept. Thus making this an unconditional covenant, [...]
Postdiluvian f. Sign Genesis 9:12-17, “And God said: “This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the [...]
Noahide We are all familiar with the story of Noah, the flood and the ark to some extent, yet how much of the true story and its impact do we really know? We may have some perception of God’s promise after the flood, but how much of that promise [...]
