Revelation 1:8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty. Revelation 21:6 And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the fountain of the water of... Alpha and Omega ..read more

Parashah: “VaYetze” (and he went out) GENESIS 28:10-32:2 In this parashah study, we see that Jacob is on his way to Haran to find himself a wife (or two). He is tired after a long day's journey, He stops to rest outside of a city called “Luz” (In Spanish “Light”) and scripture says that he settles down for the night and takes “of the stones” (m'avenei) and puts “one” under his head for a pillow. I am sure that he chose a large, flat one, wrapped his tunic around it, and put his head down... Jacob's Ladder or God's Ladder ..read more

There has been way too much focus on the law and on sin recently. I don't know why exactly. There is a fundamental principle that all Christians should learn at the beginning of their walk with God. That principle is death and resurrection. It is fully expounded by Paul in his letter to the Galatians. It does not matter how serious a crime an individual commits. If he dies before going to trial, that is the end of the matter. No one bothers to punish a dead man. It is pointless. Yet some... About time you died ..read more

Since I posted the thread I will go first: 1) I have weekly study guides from church and after prayer I go through each day’s lesson carefully, today was about Naaman and his initial incomplete grasp of worshipping the true God as his only prior knowledge was the pagan religion of Syria. 2 Kings 5:1 -9. 2) After that I read a short inspirational devotional, the good thing about having a devotion is that there are a multitude of good Christian devotionals available and you can usually find...

I've always liked the verse in Deuteronomy 10:16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked. It makes me think not only of the covenant sign God writes on our hearts, but also of the removal of the filth in our hearts that should accompany it, and the relaxing of our necks to allow them to be flexible so as to follow God's voice, rather than go our own way. In the Old Testament, there was a requirement for physical circumcision, which was a sign of God's... The foreskin of the heart ..read more

I’m working on my 4th book called, “The Heavenly Tabernacle” in which I’m advocating a new, or let’s say “less explored” grand theme of the book of Revelation. So many Bible scholars and students of eschatology focus on the unraveling mysteries; such as the meaning of the number 666, or who, when, and where the beast might be. I will be arguing that these end-times enthusiasts are completely missing the grand theme of the book . . . that the book of Revelation is about worship, and more...

Never. Jesus would not, and did not, ingest alcohol. Jesus is all about purity of body and soul. There is nothing at all pure about alcohol. It is toxic to the human body. It is poison. It is great as an antiseptic, sure. It kills microorganisms and bacteria that it comes into contact with. Good for human ingestion? Not so much. Take a good look at the fermentation process and think again if it makes any sense at all that Jesus would make, or serve, alcohol to anyone. Alcohol is... Would Jesus drink Alcohol ..read more

Some posters have no idea what it means to be forgiven as a Christian. They should try reading the Bible, what it says rather than interpret according to their own preconceptions. Christians are forgiven. I knew that I was forgiven the moment I received Jesus. A weight of guilt lifted off me that was tangible. I did not confess all my sins. I hardly knew what they were. What I did know was that I was not perfect and that God would not accept me as I was. Then I was told that Jesus paid for... Let's get something straight ..read more
