The Feast Days in the New Covenant

The Feast Days in the New Covenant

"Just a moment," someone will say "are not these Feasts all part of the old covenant? And as such, they have been fulfilled by Jesus and nailed to the cross at Calvary. They are, therefore, obsolete and it is no longer necessary for believers to observe them. Besides, are they not Jewish?"

Doubtless some of you may have heard these and similar statements. But are you sure they have the backing of Scripture? Have you examined the evidence… Continue

Matt.23

[8] But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.

John.1

[38] Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?

John.3

Jesus the Jewish Rabbi

Jesus the Jewish Rabbi

We know that folks called Jesus Rabbi, but what is the significance of this title, beyond simply meaning “teacher”?

We must acknowledge the Jewishness of Jesus and his ministry, so that can enhance our understanding of Jesus and his teaching.

If we want to understand what Jesus was teaching us it will help if we can understand the methods he was using and the way his Jewish audience would understand him.

Was… Continue

Are You Guilty of Doing Nothing in This Homeless Crisis-Our Savior Said: "I was a stranger (homeless), and you took me in"

"The Lord's Day" Revelation 1:10 - Is NOT Sunday!

"The Lord's Day" Revelation 1:10 (Is Not a reference to Sunday, but the eschatological DAY OF THE LORD!)

Among today's commentators there continues to be an argument about the meaning of the phrase ἐν τῃ̂ κυριακῃ̂ ἡμέρᾳ in Revelation 1:10. Should it be translated in such a way that it is read to mean the Lord's Day, or another way of saying, the first day of the week, or, should it be translated and understood as an expression equivalent to the day of the Lord?

Most… Continue

Swine Flu Worries? Better Safe Than Sorry

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)

“and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him.” (1 John 3:22)

ROME'S CHALLENGE : Why do Protestants keep Sunday?

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

Super-Sized Sistahs: What’s Eating YOU?

(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

"The Letter Killeth" - A Berean View

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,

***for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.***

“Saved”—Past, Present, Future

“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
