In 2 Cor 4, who is the “god of this age”? And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the […] When it comes to differences of faith, we often repeat the saying “In essentials, Unity. In non-essentials, Diversity. In all things, Charity.” While this is a necessary process, we have to first determine who gets to decide what is essential and what is not? What criteria do they use? Where do they get their criteria, […] IMHO, Acts 15 is the 2nd most important chapter in the book thus far. It gives us a brief overview of the first great debate for the people of “The Way”. At issue: was circumcision a requirement for salvation (v5)? There are several parts about The Great Debate (or “The Jerusalem Council” as it’s more […] 
This is a follow up to my previous article on the association of the Holy Spirit to the believers in the OT and NT. Here’s a table to all the references I can find in the Bible where the Spirit of God (or Christ) is said to affect a person. The words used are typically […]

Now that I’m (again) studying my way through the book of Acts, I’m finding myself quite intrigued by the fact that the people who […] The Old Earth/Young Earth has been debated endlessly on many websites. Google will help you find those sites. There’s one aspect of the Old Earth debate that I have never seen discussed anywhere and would like to explore here. But first, a word to the wise: since the Bible doesn’t explicitly state how young or […] In a recent discussion, the question was raised: what did Christ mean when He said that He would “draw all men” to Him (John 6:44)? Is it a resistible or irresistible “drawing”? The popular explanation is that Christ “woos” people and people can decide whether or not they want to partake of His wooing – […] When considering the remnant and the fate of those who aren’t part of the remnant, I think there’s a pattern that emerges. This struck me the other day from out of the blue when studying Isaiah. PRE-FLOOD Enoch – called out from the world Noah – called from the world; world destroyed
As I was working my way through Isaiah 9 and 10, I couldn’t help but notice that the description of the doom that was coming to Israel/Judah was punctuated by the repeated phrase “Despite all this, His anger does not subside, and His hand is ready to strike again.” (Isa 9:12, Isa 9:17, Isa 9:21, […] In BSF, we’re currently going through the book of Isaiah. Chapter 1 opens with an intriguing proclamation from the Lord that judgment is at hand: those who willing obey will enjoy the fruit of the land, but those who resist God’s rule will be consumed with raging fire. Check it out (Isaiah 1). So now […] |
