What are the fundamentals upon which a study of the Hebrew or Greek text must be based? The first and fundamental principle is very simple: God has told us in the Bible that He has indeed revealed His will to man by (1) inspiring men to write or say certain things; and (2) to have it preserved. In s ...

Would you have believed Him - turned against Him - or checked up on Him - which? Don't be too sure! Here's a way to test yourself. Just for the moment, SUPPOSE - suppose you were living in Jerusalem when Jesus Christ was teaching there. You are walking along with a friend. You come upon a small ...

The world's number one best seller is, paradoxically, the world's least understood book. Why? Should it be understood? If so, how can one come to understand it? As a youth, I rarely went to church. Occasionally, a school chum would ask me to visit his church, and when I did so, the teacher would ...

This tenth installment reveals the truth about the Jewish sects in Palestine in the days of Christ. ALL the sects of Judaism in the New Testament period had their roots within the time of religious anarchy after the death of Alexander the Great.

Jesus declared that nothing could stop the good news of God's Kingdom from being thundered worldwide in this end time. That prophecy is being fulfilled! These things says He who is holy... I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it" (Rev. 3:7-8). These words, spoken by Christ ...

Why were humans put here on the earth, how did we come to be here? We're not on Mars, there isn't anybody on Mars. We've had men on the moon, but they didn't stay there very long because when the oxygen they took with them wore out, they would die if they hadn't gotten back to the earth. T ...
