Share any thoughts you have—even if you noticed an error in the booklet. I would much rather be corrected and improve the accuracy of the work than leave mistakes unaddressed. Please feel free to point out any weaknesses in my argument about the gnostic or “lost” gospels compared to the biblical Gospels, or about the Bible itself. I welcome … Continue reading Tertullian 155 to 220 AD(BCE)

Goodmorning Jesus

Thanks to Jesus, the desire of this Psalmist has been and continues to be fulfilled in the believing across the nations! Isaiah 49:6, Acts 1:6-8. May the veil be lifted in Jesus name amen! “Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this … Continue reading Goodmorning Jesus

See to it

An unbelieving heart is an evil heart according to the Bible! The Bible is a unique book and has quite the history and manuscript data points to compare, contrast, and examine like no other. Archaeology is another data point of examination. Creation testifies to a Designer and only fails to do so if you have been indoctrinated by secular and naturalistic, unchallenged thinking taught from K–12 and then another eight years at the university and college level—and then for the rest of your life if you desire funding for any project that seems to contradict the indoctrination. A genius system … Continue reading See to it

If God kept a record of our sins

“But you offer forgiveness, that we might learn to fear you.” – Psalm 130:4 Jesus saves! “And thou shalt call His name Jesus” WHY “for thou shalt save His people from their sins” – Matthew 1:21 Jesus, light to the nations (Isaiah 49:6, Acts 1:6-8)! Open the eyes of Israel, God (Romans 11:15). Their is nobody that fits the description of the Servant in Isaiah 42:1-6, Isaiah 49:1-6 and Isaiah 52:13-15 and Isaiah 53 as magnificently as Jesus. All of which were written well before Jesus and the history of the world that followed as all Christians, Jews and scholars … Continue reading If God kept a record of our sins

God’s anger is different

Inspired by Novatian from 245 AD and a quick summary of Novatian’s thoughts on God’s anger. He makes a distinction between us and God on the issue of anger and warns us to be careful not to falsely equivocate the two. It shows that Christians of all ages have had similar struggles with various unpleasant aspects of God’s anger and yet found ways to think about it and rationally decide to trust God as opposed to not. Trust Jesus over whatever it is you are trusting over Him! He is more worthy of your trust than the others or even … Continue reading God’s anger is different

He was not a sinner

Mine too! Thank you, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Thank you for being my light. I could have not asked for a better. May you be glorified in my life! “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.” – Isaiah 53:6 “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. This he said, signifying what death he should die.” – John 12:32-33 Thank you for drawing me unto you by way of … Continue reading He was not a sinner

Goods?

From him there is no liberality to dependents, no communication to the poor. And yet such people call that their own money, which they guard with jealous labour, shut up at home as if it were another’s, and from which they derive no benefit either for their friends, for their children, or, in fine, for themselves. Their possession amounts to this only, that they can keep others from possessing it; and oh, what a marvellous perversion of names! they call those things goods, which they absolutely put to none but bad uses. Cyprian of Carthage. 1886. “The Epistles of Cyprian.” … Continue reading Goods?

He who fixed the heavens

The message that changed the world one heart at a time! “I will also give You as a light to the Gentiles, That You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ” – Isaiah 49:6b “I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people, As a light to the Gentiles…” – Isaiah 42:6b “Behold, My Servant shall deal prudently; He shall be exalted and extolled and be very high. Just as many were astonished at you, So His visage was marred more than any man, And His form more than the sons of … Continue reading He who fixed the heavens

Unto the endless ages of the ages

Paul had complete confidence that Christ would endure the ages to come as He said He would to the end of the ages and so did Hypolytus in 200 AD and many other believers thruout the centuries. And here we are 2 millenia later! They was right! “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” – Ephesians 3:20-21 You can trust Jesus in this age too! … Continue reading Unto the endless ages of the ages
