    An Opinion about rituals "in religions":

    When a person, or religious organization, keeps inventing sacraments, then it is their 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...

    The Resurrections, plural

    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. My interpretation of 1 Cor. 15:20-28 20 But...

    Smoke Screens?

    Have Christians, and our Christian churches, taught about a personal relationship with Jesus for salvation or have they put up smoke screens that keeps people from developing a personal relationship with Jesus in their hearts? When you ask most Christians why they think they are Christians and...

    The Mysteries that Paul taught:

    Deut 29:29 NKJV 29 "The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law. Question: In verse 29 above does God keep things to Himself and reveal them to us when He wants to? Mark...

    The Mysteries: (Plural)

    Rom 11:25 25 For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. NKJV Rom 16:25 25 Now to Him who is able to establish you according...

    John 3:16 in relation to the grace gospel

    John 3:16-18 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 "He who believes in...

    Galatians 5:

    5 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. 2 Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. 3 And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a...

    The first English Bible

    William Tyndale wanted to use the same 1516 Erasmus text as a source to translate and print the New Testament in English for the first time in history. Tyndale showed up on Luther's doorstep in Germany in 1525, and by year's end had translated the New Testament into English. Tyndale had been...

    "Religion! Who needs it?"

    "Religion! Who needs it?" or "Religious Tyranny:" If you can see it, all the persecutions of true Christians has come from the religious. In this writing I am going to point out what I see in religions. In the days of the Tower of Babble men made up religions based on their imaginations. Each...

    The Religious Mind:

    When the scripture said to "not forsake the assembling ourselves together," why do most assume it is in the formal religious services in a church building? Heb 10:25 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the...

    Just what is Paul’s Gospel

    Just what is Paul’s Gospel and who gave it to him? Rom 2:16 NKJV 16 in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, “”according to my gospel.”” Rom 16:25 NKJV 25 Now to Him who is able to establish you “”according to my gospel”” and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according...

    “THE RELIGION BOX”

    If you can see it, religion is a box that men of religion have built. It was built by Emperor Constantine in about AD300. It was called the “Roman Catholic Church” Their doctrine was established on a mixture of law, grace and what ever they could come up with to get people to come into it...

    THE CHURCH

    The Church Many people interpreted the scriptures to have different meanings. This is why there are so many different church denominations and doctrines. Is Christ divided? NO. Is the "SPIRITUAL CHURCH" divided? NO. Is man's understanding divided? YES. Are church denominations, organized...

    Being honest:

    After all that I have heard about salvation I find a truth; if I am saved from all the things in this world except my sinful nature, then there is no way I can be saved. I think I live a fairly good life. I try to be merciful, fair, helpful to others. But I cannot fool myself into thinking I am...

    THE LORD'S SUPPER;

    Subjects; Lord's Supper/The Bread of Life/The living water: Many people teach that we are commanded to perform the Lord's Supper as a ceremony and ritual "in order to be saved." That by doing this they can assure their salvation. Some believe that the bread and drink actually become the body...

    Believing God

    There is no salvation without believing God. When Adam and Eve were in the garden, their sin was not believing God when He said not to eat of the tree. Satan told them that it was to their benefit to eat of the tree. Who did they believe, God or Satan? When the Jews got to the gateway city...

    Water Baptism:

    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 (NIV) 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...

    The Abrahamic Covenant:

    I write this as a study of what the Abrahamic covenant is. Some think that the law was not a part of this covenant. I intend to show they are wrong. Gal 3:16-19 16 Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, "And to seeds," as of many, but as of one, "And to your...
