• Are the New Testament Scriptures Alone a Sufficient Guide to Heaven?

  erm or phrase Paul used when he said “given by inspiration of God.”  As you well know some speak of latter day revelation hundreds of years after the completion of the New Testament.  How can we be sure revelation ceased when the New Testament scriptures were completed as we now have them? When God gave scripture he gave man a means by which man could be assured that the message given was from God.  The message was given orally then l…

• Israel’s Rebellion at the Red Sea

  …imself as follows:  “‘I am the God of your father–the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’  And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God.  And the Lord said:  ‘I have surely seen the oppression of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.   So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to b…

• The Silence of the Scriptures

  …Does the silence of the scriptures on a practice permit that practice or forbid it? This can only be answered by an appeal to the scriptures to which we will go but before doing so it would be good to make the point that many have answered this question without an appeal to scripture at all.  The Roman Catholic Church is not concerned with what the scriptures say.  Authority with the Catholic Church resides in the church itself, their church, not…

• Demas Has Forsaken Me

  …23 and 24 he along with Epaphras, Mark, Aristarchus, and Luke send greetings to Philemon and Paul says these men are his fellow workers or in the old King James language his “fellowlabourers.”  The book of Philemon is said to have been written around AD 60. However, by the time Paul wrote his last letter, the book of Second Timothy, dated anywhere from AD 64 to AD 68, Paul says sadly that “Demas has forsaken me” (NKJV) or in the wording of the NA…

• Why Men Do Not Believe

  …g to the Thessalonians asked the brethren to “pray for us that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified, just as it did also with you; and that we may be delivered from perverse and evil men; for not all have faith.” (2 Thess. 3:2 NAS) The question I want to deal with in this article is why do men not believe?  This is a question that has bothered me over the years for it seems to me only natural to believe.  Yet, I ca…

• Does God Really Care?

  Over the course of time just about all of us are confronted with the reality of suffering and abuse not just on newscasts but in our own personal world where we live day by day and experience life up close.  Why are small precious children abused?  Why do many of them from all outward appearances not have a chance from the get go due to the circumstances they were born into?  Why do old people often get in such horrible conditions as you find th…

  …t of the Lord to the test” (NASB) and died as a consequence. This is the very thing the children of Israel did time and time again.  In Numbers 14:22-23 the Lord says, in speaking to Moses, “Surely all the men who have seen my glory and my signs which I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have put me to the test these ten times and have not listened to my voice, shall by no means see the land which I swore to their fathers, …

After this three day journey without finding water they come to …

• Honestly Deceived

  …an of God from Judah, a prophet, was lied to and swallowed the lie as the saying goes, hook, line, and sinker.  While eating, the word of the Lord came to the old prophet against the man of God from Judah saying, “Because you have disobeyed the command of the Lord, and have not observed the commandment which the Lord your God commanded you, but have returned and eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which He said to you, ‘Eat no bread and d…

• Mt. Sinai and the Day of Judgment

  What do the children of Israel coming to Mt. Sinai have to do with the Day of Judgment?  More than you might think.  The children of Israel reached Mt. Sinai in the third month after they left Egypt (Ex. 19:1-2).  They had had by this time many experiences and had seen God working actively on their behalf in miracle after miracle.  They had seen the plagues in Egypt from many of which they were spared.  They had crossed the Red Sea on dry ground…

• What Does the Phrase “My Name” Mean in the Bible?

  …the Old Testament according to our English NAS translation thus the best place to start to understand the meaning as Jesus used it is in the Old Testament scriptures.  It is a phrase that can be used in more than one way thus have more than one meaning.  Some meanings are easy enough to figure out for in some few places the phrase is used like we would use it today but I am not interested in those passages.  I want to know the unique way in which…

• The Prodigal Son–When He Came to Himself

  …verlooked or at least not talked much about.  It indicates that while the prodigal son was living in sin there was a sense in which he was not himself.  He was not the person he was meant to be; he was not the person he could have been; he was not the person he could respect; he was not the person who could see reality; he was not the person who could reason correctly. One could almost say sin is a form of insanity.  If the Bible is true (as it i…

• Repent–How Hard It Is To Do

  It is hard to repent, no doubt about it.  I remember the comment made by a well known preacher of the nineteenth century that the hardest thing there was to do was to get men to repent.  By contrast it was easy to get men to believe.  He considered his greatest failure was in convincing men to repent. He was not the first preacher to have that problem.  The Bible calls Noah “a preacher of righteousness” (2 Peter 2:5 NKJV).  Most Bible students b…

• Jesus Defines Repentance

  Nineveh will not be of their number. What more did the people of Nineveh do?  Jonah 3:8 says the King decreed that “every one turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands.” (NKJV)  What did they do?  They ceased doing evil. Let us summarize the events that transpired here in a city that Jesus said repented.  Here is what we have seen: (1)  People heard a message from God condemning them and believed it. (2)  This brought godl…

• The Joy and the Danger of a Clean Conscience

  l have them back and restore to them a clean heart and a clear conscience as they walk on down the road of life but they must make the same decision David made.  David wanted to come back.  He repented.  He prayed to God.  He ceased to sin and walked in righteousness.  That is what it will take. A good clean clear conscience is a wonderful thing to have.  Inner peace is better than inner war.  God has left for us the choice as to which we have.  …

• Never Give Up

  … committed adultery with her, and then had her husband Uriah killed to cover his tracks and hide his sin when he discovered Bathsheba was with child, his child.  All this sin began when, because of outside stimulus, his heart ceased to be pure. Yet, despite his sin, as horrible as it was, the Bible speaks highly of him.  Here is what it says in comments that are being made about Abijam, a king that came later down the road after David.  “His hear…

• More on Willful Sin—Can Anyone be Saved?

  …is individual “a certain fearful expectation of judgment.” (NKJV)  If I understand that verse correctly the individual involved in such an action still fears judgment which would not be true of one who had totally ceased to believe.  However, I grant that the phrase could be taken to be merely descriptive of the judgment and how awful it will be. I think we all know Christians who have fallen away simply because they enjoyed sin more …

  …words like “God also gave them up” (v. 24), “God gave them up” (v. 26), and “God gave them over” (v. 28) all talking about God giving those people up to sins of various kinds which means he ceased to exercise any restraining influence on them.  The New Living Translation says “God abandoned them” in verses 24 and 26 and in verse 28 “he abandoned them.”  How would you like God to abandon …

• Who is the Believer in John 3:16?

  Sometimes things that are the most obvious are also the easiest to overlook.  No passage in the Bible is better known nor been memorized more than Jesus’ statement in John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (NKJV)  This was part of a conversation that Jesus was having with a man named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews who …

• Christianity–Who Rules Reason or Emotions?

  … not looking for fear we will see.  Divorce courts, bankruptcy courts, drug rehab facilities, prisons, and even the local hospitals maintain a heavy business because emotion has ruled in a life and reason took a back seat. We have the same thing in Christianity but pay day has not yet come so we have not yet been forced to confront reality.  We sometimes wonder why it is that a person cannot seem to see the truth.  Well, you have to have a desire…

• Saved by Faith or Saved by Holy Spirit Baptism–Which Is It?

  …sinner before that happened, then man is helpless.  It then becomes God’s sole decision to either baptize you or not so he will, at his will, baptize some unsaved sinners while not baptizing other unsaved sinners. Do we have here the doctrine that man is helpless to do anything about his salvation until the Spirit intervenes directly upon a man?  It looks a lot like it.  This was a prevalent doctrine here in the United States in the early 1…

• Are Paul’s Writings as Authoritative as Jesus’ Words?

  …of personal prejudice on his part.  That young lady many years later became a preacher (?) within her denominational body contrary to Paul’s teaching on the subject in 1 Tim. 2:12. Over the course of the many years that have transpired since that time I have heard the same or similar comments regarding things Paul wrote.  It seems many believe he lacked the authority of Christ.  Did he?  That is the subject I wish to pursue in this article….

• Faith, Manna, and Grumbling Against God

  y were a dissatisfied and unhappy lot and their dissatisfaction was with God. There are some people who cannot be made happy or so it seems.  The children of Israel under God’s guidance with Moses being his spokesperson have been brought out of Egyptian bondage with the promise that they are headed to a land of milk and honey that God will give them (Ex. 3:16-17, see also Ex. 6:6-8).  Those of age are all aware of this mission they are on a…

• One Church—A Thing Hard to Accept

  ing interviewed, for what reason I no longer recall, made the comment that if she had seen O. J. commit the murder with her owns eyes she would not believe it.  I guess her idea was that she could not trust herself, she would have to be hallucinating, her mind would have to playing tricks on her.  Clearly, her mind was made up and any truth brought to bear upon it contrary to what she wanted to believe would bounce off it like a rubber ball dropp…
