Swine Flu Worries? Better Safe Than Sorry





Thanks to global pandemonium revolving around swine flu, almost everything has ground to a halt in Mexico; schools in New York, California, and Texas have closed; Europeans are being urged to postpone travel to the U.S. and Mexico, and sore throat sufferers everywhere are dialing their doctors to ask, "Is it really just my allergies … or have I got swine flu?"



You know who's to blame? Yup, filthy factory farms. A headline in… Continue

1 John on the “Commandments” of YHWH, the Torah

Let us draw your attention to the following verses from John’s first letter:



“And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, ” (1 John 2:3-4)

Rome's Challenge: Why do Protestants keep Sunday?



Most Christians assume that Sunday is the biblically approved day of worship. The Roman Catholic Church protests that, indeed, it is not. The Roman Catholic Church itself without any Scriptural authority from God transferred Christian worship from the Biblical Sabbath (Saturday) to Sunday, by the command of the pagan Roman Emperor Constantine in 325 AD; and that to try to argue that the change was made in the Bible is… Continue

(BlackDoctor.org) -- I try not to stare, but I can’t help but notice. It’s not that I’m judging you, I just can’t help but wonder what is really going on. I see beautiful, smart, intelligent, young women with their hair laid and their nails polished to perfection. They are hard working, industrious, career minded women who seem to have it goin’ on. Then there’s the noticeable issue that I seem to observe most: how BIG so many young women are!



Now please don’t get me wrong. This is no… Continue

Let us review our text:



2 Corinthians 3:4 - 6



4 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:

5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;

6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit,

“Saved”—Past, Present, Future



Some understanding is important in explaining exactly when a Christian IS saved. This is a subject of great confusion. Comprehending it is critical to everything about the subject of salvation.



The Bible teaches that you are saved in three distinct ways. All of them represent what is correctly described as the process of salvation.



Romans 6:23 explained that the wages of sin is death. At repentance, baptism and conversion, a… Continue

Not “Once Saved, Always Saved”



Almost certainly you have heard the term “Once saved, always saved.” It is common among the masses of professing Christians. The problem is, we have seen that it is not biblical—it is not what the Bible teaches!



I have met many who tell me how good it is that they “know the Lord.” Others have tried to convince me that I need to “know Him” in some supposed way that they prescribe. John wrote, “He that says, I know Him, and keeps not His… Continue
