What is known as ‘The Lord’s Prayer’ is and often repeated prayer in churches around the world. Understanding what is being prayed for in that prayer should be tantamount to the constant repetition of it.

Often when comparing Romans 4 with James 2, it is said that Paul and James disagreed. This is not true. The context of each passage must be looked at to understand what each is saying. Paul is explaining personal eternal salvation in the dispensation of grace. James is reproving the Jewish churches for respecting persons. The salvation and justification that James refers…

Different priesthoods in the Bible include the Levitical priesthood, Melchisedec, and priesthoods of idolatrous gods. Jesus Christ was a priest after the order of Melchisedec because the Levitical priesthood could not bring perfection. Jesus Christ was also from the tribe of Judah, not Levi, so he could not have been a Levitical priest. Christ was a priest after the order of Melchizadec.…
A prophet is one who speaks or writes God’s inspired words. This is demonstrated many times over in prophetic scripture. Christ was prophesied to be The Prophet, and as a man he spoke the words given to him by his Father.
