The Need to Address Alternative and New Religious Movements

 Different things mean to different people! There are many professing Christians who throw along biblical words like throwing away toilet paper. It is so important to define such biblical concepts with the standard definition of the Bible (1 Cor. 2:13). The most basic of Bible interpretation is comparing scripture with scripture. When it comes to the biblical concept of the "secret things" of God or the hidden things of God is that there are numerous passages of scripture that will shed light upon its biblical meaning.  The question is what is the biblical meaning of the word "secret things?" According to Proverbs 25:2, it says, "It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter." When it comes to the secret things of God is that the glory of our Lord is to conceal a thing (v. 2) The Sovereign Will of God is to conceal that which is not made accessible to ordinary men. There are spiritual vandals within the church...

 As we begin to look at John chapter 3 verse 29 where it says, "The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom's voice. That joy is mine, and is now complete." It is very important to know the historical background of this particular verse under study simply because of the fact that there is so much misunderstanding when it comes to God's Word. There is a lot of biblical ignorance among those who called themselves Christians by which they professed to be saved (Matt. 7:15-24). Professing believers are those who claim to be saved by which they do not know the Lord. They appear to be saints but they are saints in sinner's clothing (Matt. 7:15). Those who are truly saved are those whom God has chosen unto His election of grace (Jn. 6:37, 44). First, Christ is Sovereign Lord over the church by which the Spirit indwells (Eph. 5:25; 1 Cor. 6:19). Christ is the head of ...

 Text: Deut. 13:1; Matt. 24:24 "If a prophet, or one who foretells by dreams , appears among you and announces to you a miraculous sign or wonder." (Deut. 13:1) "For false Christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect." (Matt. 24:24) Introduction Why is it so important to address the issue of false prophets? The reason for such is that so many of God's people have such a misunderstanding as to what is a false prophet. Many within the church are convinced that God is speaking through modern-day prophets these days to give such supernatural revelations, signs, and wonders. In so many words just like there were prophets then in the Old Testament that there are prophets NOW. If in fact there are modern-day prophets within the church today then why is it necessary to have God's written Word? According to Ephesians 2:20: "built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with...

The coronavirus just recently appeared around the world. First, it hit citizens of China by which it rapidly reached into other parts of the country, even the United States of America. The coronavirus also hit Washington State, where there were elderly people who died in small but large numbers. It has been said that only the elderly were to be infected with the coronavirus, but the stats show otherwise. There are just much as younger people who are tested positive for the coronavirus much more than to die from this dreadful disease. It is unfortunate that babies from 3-6 months are dying as well from the coronavirus as well. The government of the United States knew beforehand the coming of this coronavirus but brush it off as a "hoax" by which it cost the lives of millions of people across this country. With all the tension that is going on between the Chinese government and that of the Trump Administration concerning the tariff have in fact put people in the cross-fire b...

There is much debate concerning Hebrews 6 verse 4. Such debate have not yet been resolve because both sides of the theological spectrum believe (1) The author of Hebrews 6:4 refers to the saved that can fall from grace by which it is impossible for them to be renewed unto repentance. And (2) It is referring to professing believers who have heard the gospel by which they reject the Christ of scripture (vv. 4-6; 7-8). The fact of the matter and the reality of the debate have not yet been resolved. So in order to resolve such misunderstanding concerning Hebrews 6:4-6 is to look to God's Word to get a clear understanding and knowledge of this particular biblical passage of scripture (1 Cor. 2:13). The best interpretation of the Bible is the Bible itself. In so many words scripture interpret scripture. In order to understand a particular passage/s of scripture is to look to other passages of the Bible to shed light upon that particular passage of scripture in light of its context. It ...

Here is a preview of some of the questions that are frequently asked about the prosperity gospel. These are questions that are exact and pointed. It is recommended that people begin to ask the right questions concerning a particular subject or is issue that is under study. Within the particular article I will begin to answer many of the questions that is most frequently ask concerning the prosperity gospel. There are those who feel that they know enough about the prosperity gospel or those who have such basic knowledge concerning its subject but really in reality many people do not have the full scope as it relates to the history of the prosperity gospel. Historically the prosperity gospel is Gnostic in its origins and orientation as a movement (1 Tim. 6:20; Col. 2:18). Gnostics in the early first and second century church sought to "spiritualize" many of the teachings of the historic Christian church as it relates to the biblical text of scripture and the historical ...
