My name is Raymond Hermann, an ordained Christian minister. You will find many articles uploaded that are serious in-depth studies on religious-related topics. Many topics could be either controversial or adult in nature. I do like the offbeat, uneasy, and unconventional topics and I like the strange and curious things in the bible that sometimes get passed over rather quickly in a..

There are many prophecies concerning the end of this age in the Bible and we can believe in them if God, Jesus, or our Lord’s prophets stated them. But there are also several prophecies that some Christians believe, but are not divinely inspired. So, where does the ‘Three Days of Darkness Prophecy’ event fit into ...

Once, when discussing the possibility of eternal life, someone asked me, “If Jesus died for our sins, how does that work? It’s illogical; it doesn’t make any sense. Everyone dies sooner or later, so how do you explain the mechanics; how can one man’s death save billions of others that have already died or will ...

She felt guilty because she just couldn’t forgive them, but others were pressuring her to forgive and forget. I asked her if the offender had apologized or repented for their actions. She said, “No! I wouldn’t feel ...

One time, after a brief discussion about the Book of Revelation, a new Christian convert asked me why the ‘End Times’ were only discussed in New Testament scripture. Over a couple of cups of coffee, I explained that a previous catastrophic ending of human civilization is documented in the Old Testament, and a prediction of ...

A previous article on this website, “The Narrow & Wide Gates in Matthew 7″,1 explains how taking the path less traveled in this life will help us develop the spirit-filled existence necessary for entrance into God’s new Millennial Kingdom. That new age ruled by Jesus Christ is quickly approaching, so near in fact, that some ...

All major cities in Jesus’ day had large walls surrounding them, the purpose being for privacy, defense, and protection from outsiders. Many had watchtowers or walkways on top to scout for problems, and maybe a surrounding ditch or moat at ground level, but all utilized gates to filter who passed through the walls — basically ...

The words ‘brother’ and ‘sister’ are used throughout the Bible in many ways: a fellow human; a blood relation; a colleague; a disciple or follower; someone of the same faith.1 While all these descriptions are relevant for our study, it is the last two mentioned that are specifically acknowledged if we label ourselves as brothers ...

Although there is some minor disagreement, tradition and research attribute the apostle John with writing the Book of Revelation. Evidence for John as the author includes: (1) the writer references himself as John, (2) he had personal relationships with the seven churches spoken of, (3) his circumstances (time and location) match those of John the ...

The Book of Revelation, also known as The Revelation of Jesus Christ to John or the Book of the Apocalypse, is basically a letter which discloses important information for John the Apostle to communicate to our Lord’s servants in various churches in the old Roman empire of Asia. It prophesies what must take place in the future — at the end of this current age.1
This is the longest letter in the Bible. Its message was received by John from an angel while he was imprisoned on the island of Patmos in the Aegean Sea, some sixty years after Jesus’ crucifixion. It explains that God will bring this c ..read more
