God is the first Zionist. It is his idea. Psalm 48:2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. Psalm 78:68 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved. Psalm 125:1 They that trust in the Lord...

In our Independent Fundamental pretibulational, premillennial Baptist church we do all our songs of praise and worship from the Baptist Hymnal. We love those old hymns. We sing about what God has done for us in redeeming us through Jesus Christ on the cross. Few of our songs predate the events...

Thank you for your interest, Mike. Dispensationalism requires a literal understanding of the scriptures unless the context directs otherwise. I look at the words as if one can believe what they say but I also know God takes the literal word to establish a metaphor or similitude . In Psa 12 we...

Ps 12:1 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. This is a Psalm of David. It is a prayer to Jehovah for help. It is not a prayer for himself but for his people. His complaint is that there are no godly men and the faithful have vanished...

My tendency when Studying the scriptures is to approach it from a dispensational standpoint. It makes perfect sense when understood from a time line in which God progressively reveals his words and his ways. Sometimes it is safe to trust the most vocal and high profile teachers in the...

Why are you beating yourself up? There are three feast days involved with death, burial, and resurrection. They are: 1 Passover - April 14 - Pictures the death of Christ - Friday - Day 1 2 Unleavened Bread - April 15 - Pictures the burial where there was no corruption of his body - Saturday -...

P It was intentional but not unreasonable. Here is my understanding of what he said. "FYI, the Sabbath ended Saturday at sundown. And Saturday at sundown is the beginning of the 1st day of the week." I am not sure anyone would disagree with that statement. However, if one is teaching Jesus...

You need to compare the prophetic theme of "the day of the LORD" from the scriptures and if you have eyes to then see some glorious truths will come to light for you and you will be able to see God's viewpoint much more clearly. The whole day of the LORD is symbolic of the sabbath of the Lord...

Anthony, sometimes disagreements on a point can be attributed to semantics, how we express ourselves. We are nearly in full agreement and I am not expressing a hostile intent. Jesus Christ in his becoming one of us is likewise as true as your point that he is God's son. He is truly man in every...

That sin came into the world by Adam is definitely my position as well. All have sinned is likewise true. Adam died spiritually because of the one sin, and that is the point. All who are born of Adam are in his bi-partite image and nature at birth. That is what is meant that death passed upon...

I heartily agree with your reasoning and would only take issue with this one point and say that sin did not pass upon all men through Adam but death passed upon all men. All men born of Adam are spiritually dead by virtue of being born of him and in his image but it is not a sin to be born...

I think the point of this epistle to the Ephesians is being ignored. The theme is "the mystery of Christ." It describes the purpose of God for this age from eternity but this part of his plan was not revealed in the OT scriptures. It, the purpose, was hidden in God before the creation of the...

ky. thank you for your interest in my comments but I am not sure if you do not believe my lesson or you do not understand it. When God began speaking to the Jews in parables in Matthew 13 it was after Jesus in chapter 12 had cursed this generation of Israel declaring that he will not save them...

If Jesus Christ rose from the dead on the first day of the week like the scripture says then he laid in the tomb all the 24 hours of the sabbath day, which is the seventh and last day of the week. He gives us the times. He dismissed his spirit at three o'clock in the afternoon on crucifixion day...

The 4 gospels have a total of 89 chapter, Matthew 28 Mark 16 Luke 24 John 21 Total 89 Jesus came to Jerusalem in these chapters to be crucified. Matthew 21 = 8 Chapters Mark 11 = 6 Chapters Luke 19 = 6 Chapters John 12 = 9 Chapters Total...
