Does Acts 1:6 Teach Christians Should Support Modern Israel?

The foolishness of Israel supporting Christians often involves the assumption that a nation that is called Israel ought to be supported because that nation is called Israel.  It is no wonder that many also fall prey to believing concepts and movements which are connected with the name Jesus without discerningRead More

1 Timothy 2:12: Common Ways Women Usurp Over Men at Church

It is right to rebuke women having official positions in church which involve authority over men. Yet a woman can also exercise spiritual authority over men without such a position. Whether a female is called pastor or not, by teaching the congregation and/or telling it what to do in anyRead More

Crucial Lessons from the Flood in Noah’s Time

Noah had been preparing the Ark and preaching for 120 years.  Life went on as normal.  Though there were accidents and chaos induced by man, that seemed normal.  The Lord intervening drastically did not seem normal.  Virtually everyone was shocked when the flood finally came- even though they should notRead More

John 3:16

How John 3:16 is Commonly Used to Deceive Through Omission

It is very common for people to know John 3:16.  However, very few people who know John 3:16 could tell you what the surrounding verses say.  Looking at those verses proves that, rather than teaching a sugary easy salvation (as it is often falsely presented to communicate), John 3:16 isRead More

To Obey is Better Than Sacrifice

The Principle “To Obey is Better Than Sacrifice” Spans the Entire Bible

Sovereignty

Refuting Twisted Views of God’s Sovereignty

A sovereign king is an independent ruler with supreme authority.  A sovereign king does not control the actions of everyone in his realm though he makes and enforces the laws.  The people in his realm don’t necessarily do what he says.  However, they will regret that.  A sovereign king alsoRead More

Old Testament Scriptures

These Old Testament Scriptures Apply to Christ and His People Rather Than Modern Israel

(Isaiah 60:12, Jeremiah 31:31-37, Ezekiel 37:1-14, Zechariah 2:5-8, Zechariah 8:20-23) Zionist Christians don’t take into account that before the first coming of Christ there was a faithful remnant within Israel while everyone else there was at enmity with the Lord.  Multitudes of Israelites dwelled where the Lord’s worship was centeredRead More
