There was no Bible in the languages of most people in the whole wide world when the KJV was produced, and there still isn't. Look at all the Bibles that were produced by mostly Europeans. It is a good thing God stepped in when he did or we might have had millions of different bibles by now...

Generally, I study the doctrines of the scriptures by comparing words and phrases and consider how broad the application of a subject is intended in a given text. For instance, I was very interested in who is called a son of God in the scriptures so I searched it out. Only two men in the OT...

Sons of God are, without exception, possessors of the Spirit of God, whether created with the Spirit as Adam and the angels that fell or those who were born of the Spirit, the church, in the NT times. Adam and the sons of God in Genesis 6 were tested and fell. Those sons of God in the body of...

I believe the internal testimony of the scriptures causes me to ask why Jesus, coming to Judah with the proclamation that his kingdom of heaven is at hand and calling the people to repentance in preparation for it, would come preaching this in a heathen language (as most commentators claim) when...

The wonderful book, the Bible, cannot be taught in sound bites. Even Jesus Christ, the Son of God, took three chapters in Matthew's gospel to teach the constitution of the new government under the divine principle of promise, Mt 5-7, called the sermon on the mount. A mountain in biblical...

The context of this Discourse is answering three questions from 4 Jewish disciples, who are apostles, after Jesus has left the temple in Jerusalem, for the last time before his crucifixion. The questions are. 1) When will these things be? (the things he had spoken to the Jewish rulers in...

The kingdom of God has two parts, an outward and an inward. Matthew was the gospel writer who dealt with the outward and visible kingdom, announcing it is at hand. The king is in the midst and was near to establishing his earthly visible kingdom through his chosen people, Israel. However, the...

I am on topic. Matthew 25 is the passage in the scriptures where nations are described by the metaphor of sheep and goats where sheep nations are defined by the treatment of the brethren and nation of Israel during the time of great Tribulation. There is no precedent for your application of this...

I think maybe the disconnect is the meaning of the kingdom of heaven. Some people do not see this terminology as describing a kingdom but they see it as describing heaven itself. This is actually the kingdom as described by the prophets, on earth over which heavenly principles are the source of...

Mark 12:37 David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly. I do not see the common people hearing all this as common language. The text does not say anything about these two nation groups being those who are born again and those...

I have a question and I hope you do not get upset by it because I think it is a sensible question and should be answered. Mt 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32 And before him shall be gathered...

Good quote. Peter said this to the strangers and foreigners to whom he addressed his letters, most of whom were physical offspring of Jacob and who resided in the provinces of Asia minor. This would include the letters written to churches in that region, Ephesians, Colossians, Galatians, 1 and 2...

Two things: 1) There were 39 books of the Bible available for Peter to quote. God had just poured out the Spirit from heaven on Israel and called it a baptism because he had immersed the whole nation. It caused the preachers to speak and the nation to hear in their resident national languages...

My tag line is Believe the words and honour context. My conclusions come from this practice. 1) Jn 3:16 - For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son........... 2) 2 Cor 5:21 - He (God the Father) has made him ( Jesus Christ) to be sin for us who knew no sin that we may be...

The gospel in this context is the good news that God will bless the gentiles through the seed of Abraham. How this promise has been and is being fulfilled in this age is that God through sending his only begotten son, Jesus Christ, the perfect man, to become sin for the whole world and pay it's...

Why was this the proof prophecy, the first words out of the mouth of Peter to Israel in this new dispensation 50 days after our Lord Jesus was raised bodily and physically from the dead and 40 days after he ascended to heaven where he is now (this is that)? This had at least a token fulfilment...

The old man will be saved at his coming to the earth. The new man will be delivered at his appearing in the clouds. These are two different men and two different events.

2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. 3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, 4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. 5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but...

As my Vietnam friends used to say, same-same.

What do you believe? Premillenialism? Dispensationalism? Amillenialism? Do you believe in a rapture?
