C Gal 2:9 9 and when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that had been given to me, they gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised. NKJV - This agreement between Paul and the 12 is never...

Subject = Belief vs Unbelief: (belief = trust, faith, confidence. Each can be replaced by the others) All through the scriptures man had to make a choice to believe what God said or to not believe what God says. We can see this in the following examples. In the garden God told Adam and...

The shed blood of Jesus is everything that matters Heb 9:22 22 And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission. NKJV --- NOTE: remission = forgiveness, pardon, cancellation of debt, etc. Isa 53:6 6 All we like...

I have been saying that the only thing that condemns a person in this world is un-belief. Jesus paid (attoned) for all the sins of the world when He shed His blood on the cross. Everyone who believes He did are saved. In the following verses where it says He takes away the sin of the world...

Heb 9:18-26 18 Therefore not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood. 19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the...

Question: was Cornelius saved under the "kingdom gospel (Abrahamic Covenant)" or the "gospel of the grace of God" as taught by Paul? Cornelius was a blessing to Israel (Acts 10:2,22), and because of this God rewarded him with the hearing of the Word through Peter and receiving salvation. This...

When a person, or religious organization, keeps inventing sacraments, then it is they're keeping of the sacraments they have faith in, not Christ. Otherwise, why keep those invented sacraments? And when one goes to a confessional and tells a "priest" about their sins, then it is their going to...

God's promise to Abraham: Gen 22:17-18 17 "blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. 18 "In your seed all the nations of the...

Two places in the Bible that I do not feel support baptismal regeneration (water baptism necessary for salvation) are as follows. 1 Pet 3:18-22 18 For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by...

First I wish to say that what is written in this post is what I believe. I do not write it to refute, or criticize anyone. I give everyone the right to believe as they wish. I also take that right for myself. I offer this post as food for thought. 20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and...

Faith is the same as believing. James 2:20-21 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? (NKJ) FACT! No, he was not! ---- He was accounted righteous before God...

The scriptures tells us that Jesus defeated Satan. How did Jesus defeat Satan?

When reading this in the Bible it is a mistake to assume it is about how we help others in the Christian life. If it is then we are still under law. A person should focus on “the why” these people are selected in each group. Understand the “Nations” in the scriptures are the Gentile people...

The religious Christian Church is (and has been since the RCC came into existence) teaching a blended, harmonized gospel that takes what Jesus and His Apostles preached to the Jews which included the Law and what Paul preached for the grace Church that excluded the Law and mixes them together...

All are under sin: It was asked by someone “would God ask us to do what we couldn’t do?“ The answer is yes, He asked the Jews to keep the Law of Moses. However, when they, the Jews, killed their Messiah (Jesus) He concluded that no man could keep the Law of Moses and He had another plan to...

Other than Peter being in Antioch (Gal.2:11) where he and Paul had a disagreement there are no verses that say Peter was in Rome. As a matter of fact in the two scriptures recorded times that Paul went back to Jerusalem the 12 were there in Jerusalem. As some have said the 12 remained in...
