Jesus and Jehovah These are comparison verses between the LORD (Jehovah/Yahweh) of the Old Testament and Jesus Christ of the new testament. The verses speak for themselves, so very little commentary is needed. They are in no particular order of importance. CREATOR Genesis 2:4 ¶ These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the…

There is a pattern in Romans 1 that has repeated itself throughout history in every empire, nation, government and even in God’s chosen people, whether it be Israel or the church, the body of Christ. It has a beginning that is very important, and that we are going to look at in some detail, but first we want to look at the…
A Challenge to the Traditional View of the Beast of Revelation
The traditional view of the Beast of Revelation, as I understand it, is that the Beast is the personification of the antichrist. The seven heads, as I understand, are synonymous with seven of the horns after three of the ten have been plucked up or subdued.
Here is the common grace interpretation of the beast of Revelation as has been taught to me by many grace preachers:
Revelation 13:11-12, “And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.”
Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. I Corinthians 1:1-3
In the passage of Scripture quoted above Paul tells us that believers in the Age of Grace are “sanctified . . . called to be saints”. The names and titles by which God identifies an individual or group give us great insight into the role that that person or group plays in God’s plan and purpose.
Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” How one looks at this verse determines their world-view. If it is believed, then the truths of the Bible can be comprehended and internalized. If one doesn’t believe this verse, the entire Bible is just a bunch of myths and stories. How can that be? First, if it is not…
How in this world can we put a man on the moon,
And still have a need for a place like St Jude’s?
And why is one man born, In a place where all they know is war?
An’ a guy like me, Has always been free.
An’ how can two people who built a lovin’ home, Try for years an’ never have a child of their own?
When somewhere out there tonight, There’s a baby no-one’s holdin’ tight: In need of love.
To me, that don’t add up.
