Imagine all the emotions going through Mary’s heart and mind after being told by the angel Gabriel that she would be carrying and giving birth to God’s son! Then realize that, instead of worrying about being unmarried and the resulting stigma, she praised God, proving that He had made a good choice. Luke 1:47-50 (NET), […]
“God is love,” 1 John 4:8. Also, “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,” (John 3:16). He gave the most precious gift He had, his son. Love has an element of sacrifice, putting the interest of others first. “It is more blessed to give than receive,” Act 20:35. There’s more […]
After Jesus received water baptism and after He received the Holy Spirit, He said, "But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am till it is accomplished!" Luke 12:50 (NKJV). What baptism was this? It was the complete death of His will and His body. Hebrews 10:7, "Then I said, […]
What is the “spirit” referenced in the passage? “Spirit” in the Greek is “pneuma.” Strong’s Concordance defines it broadly: “a current of air, breath, mental disposition or an angel, demon.” Throughout Romans, the Apostle Paul also used “pneuma” in different contexts with a variety of meanings.

God reveals Himself through the Bible and nature. God is a spirit being with unlimited abilities, who has existed from eternity past and will exist for eternity future.

Our Lord commanded no one to go out and “convert” the world. We are told to evangelize, that is, to preach the gospel into all the world. (Matthew 16:15) However, this preaching of the gospel does not mean conversion. Presently, Satan is blinding mankind. 2 Corinthians 4:4, “the god of this world hath blinded the […]
The New Testament was written in the Greek language. In 1604 King James I ordered a more accurate translation of the existing English Bibles. The King James Bible or Authorized version was translated into English by a group of some 50 scholars. At that time, they had less than ten Greek manuscripts to work from, […]
The Scriptures do not tell us that Mary and Joseph told anyone that Jesus was the Son of God. When Mary was pregnant, she visited her cousin, Elizabeth, and Elizabeth recognized the unborn child as God’s Son without being told. The holy spirit revealed this truth to her. Luke 1:39-45 (NKJV), “Now Mary arose in […]
During the three-and-a-half years of our Jesus’s ministry, our Lord was crucified in a figurative sense; that is, he was daily delivered up to death – his will, his talents, his all were sacrificed – to follow his Father’s will. Every deed of his by which “virtue [vitality, life] went out of him” (Luke 6:19) […]
God promises to make Jerusalem the world’s capital. Israel will become the blesser nation of all nations. God promised Abraham: “In you and your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed.” Genesis 28:14. “The gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable,” Romans 11:29. Isaiah 2:2-4: “It shall come to pass in […]
