2Ti_1:15 This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes. This was the last letter Paul wrote. There are some that think the seven churches will be reconstituted in their old locations in the tribulation. I think that is very...

Paul write that all in Asia had turned away from him. This might be the same sort of "turning away" that was attempted to Galatia. If Judahizers had been successful in the province of Asia, John may have been writing to those who had chosen the kingdom gospel. This would serve two purposes. If...

Here is an interesting article from the blog archive at christianpioneer.com Robots in Revolt A favorite science fiction theme is robots. This imagery can be useful for a mental simulation exercise that can illustrate man’s relation to God. If we think of God as an inventor and humans as...

Luk 16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, if one rise from the dead.

Eph 2:2 wherein ye once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, of the spirit that now worketh in the sons of disobedience; It should not be surprising that Satan would collectivize the world and develop the technical tools he would need...

God is not mocked = Truth cannot be denied = Reality can not be escaped

1st century CE people If you do not trust in Christ, it is understandable that you would advocate a reinterpretation of the bible according to interpretive tools that allow you to manipulate whatever doubts you want to introduce or changes you want to make. However, if you do not like the...

Since Satan cannot be everywhere at once, he needs human collective to leverage his influence. This link might be interesting. The Satanic History of the world - pdf https://christianpioneer.com/videos/ebooks/Satanic_history_of_the_world_v1.pdf The Satanic History of the world - web pages...

The idea that the nation of Israel only had one chance to receive the offered kingdom seems inconsistent with all the prophecies that the kingdom would be established in Israel. Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with...

One might ask if the offer of grace would be as well received if the law had not been so sufficiently demonstrated as inadequate.

Eze 36:22 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I do not this for your sake, O house of Israel, but for my holy name, which ye have profaned among the nations, whither ye went. Eze 36:23 And I will sanctify my great name, which hath been profaned among the...

The "continual" and "surrender" aspect seems to imply a works effort. I see trusting in Jesus as a one time event. There is an expectation that what will "continue" is a process of transformation, abandoning the selfishness of the flesh and increasing in walking by the Spirit as we transform...

Rom_8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

The relationship between pistis and pitheo is an interesting one. I think the English word "trust" better captures the concept more than "believe". Sound doctrine is sort of a moving target. As one grows in understanding, what was once seen as sound can be viewed by one more mature as...

Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

The"good news" of Paul? I don't find that in my Bible. Eph 3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: Act_20:24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the...

Those saved by the kingdom gospel for the nation of Israel could lose salvation if they did not endure to the end. Heb 6:6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. Those saved by the...

It is not uncommon for people to think that the verses in Matthew that describe "being taken" refers to the rapture. However, this particular "taking" in Israel is for punishment not to escape wrath. Those left behind are the ones that will flee and be supernaturally protected by God for 3 1/2...

Mat 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. Mat 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so...

2Ch_1:10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this thy people, that is so great? 2Ch_1:11 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of them that hate...
