The eighth paragraph below this one begins the true, terribly true, story of my friend; he and I grew up together, hunted, fished, chased girls, got drunk, laughed and were very, very good friends. I'm not much for big fancy titles but this one is special to me. (2Cor. 6:14-17) (V.14) Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: AND (V.17) "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord," One of us did and the other one didn't. Blasphemy is (vilification, evil speaking against [...]

NOTE: The first part of this article introduces the reader to the Holy Spirit of truth. The middle part of this article is a revelation of the truth about what is commonly called the "Age of Accountability" you hear preached about, talked about, argued about, but never pinpointed. (Prov. 1:23-33) The last part of this article is a real life event, a true story, a heartrending story this writer participated in, in which a dear friend to three generations of my family  (John 6:44 & 12:32) fought the Holy [...]

I have to introduce you to my Daddy first so you will understand how it was. Please pay attention to the date and God’s numbers in this true story. Yes, I still use the words Mommy and Daddy or Mom and Dad, they are more affectionate and loving than what many parents are called now. Maybe society would be a little better place if some people got back to the old ways. Daddy was a piece of work, very blunt, a hair trigger temper when pushed and it didn’t [...]

I asked the internet; "What is the majority consensus of the Bible scholars as to how many authors wrote the Holy Bible over a period of how many years." I looked over several websites and there were many qualifier words uses such as maybe, could have, possibly, about, it is thought and etc. Some even presented their findings in an argumentative style? The consensus answer I finally arrived at was about forty authors over about 1500 years. After that I asked the internet the definition of theory. One of [...]

Please don't leave this article until you read the true, amazing story starting eight paragraphs below about a walk of conscience awareness, God's amazing grace and God's beautiful, stunning mercy. I know it’s a true story because I lived it with two people who became my very good friends. All Biblical usages of the word conscience have the same definition: (the soul’s perception of right and wrong). (Acts 24:16) The conscience is exercised (trained, programmed), by thinking (intellect, reason, and rationalization) and that results in action. The measurement of [...]

NOTE #1: Article #2 of this series is a real life event that shows how far the degradation of sin can take a living, breathing person into the abyss of destruction and how God's love can raise that same person to great heights of service to God by inspiring him to become a CHOSEN VESSEL and part of this event is the great wonder God accomplished in the lives of 8 little boys. I must admit something here; When I finished Part 2, I let one of those boys [...]

This story I am about to tell you is a real-life event, a true story about an old drunkard and eight little boys, that happened because of God's mercy, grace, lovingkindness, tender pity and salvation. I know it's true because I lived it; every word, every look, every step, every smell is the truth. When God saved me through the blood of His Son Jesus there was a drastic, profound and wonderful change in my heart (soul). Through His kindness God somehow built a tenderness in me that had [...]

THESE THREE DEFINITIONS IN THE FOLLOWING SCRIPTURE ARE VERY IMPORTANT: (1Cor.12:1-31) (V.7) “But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.” Manifestation is defined (#1 exhibition, #2 expression, and #3 bestowment). Profit is defined (to bear together in the sense of contribution, be better for, and bring together). Withal is defined (at the same time, close association, together). Obviously (V.7) “the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal” describes the possibility of a local church service where the members [...]

(Gen. 17:7-14) Physical circumcision is (cutting off to remove the foreskin) and was instituted by God as a physical sign of His covenant with Abraham and Israel. (V.14) If a male Jew was not circumcised he had broken the covenant and that soul was cut off from his people. (Gen. 34:22-25) Circumcision is a very painful operation. All the millions of physical circumcisions performed on Jewish males over thousands of years prophesied of future spiritual circumcisions that would have eternal spiritual consequences for all of mankind. (Luke 24:44) Israel [...]

It will be easier to understand Jesus' identity if you read the article Who is the Holy Spirit in this commentary. Note: There are two aspects of belief between some Christians, some local churches and even a few denominations concerning grace. One side believes grace ends immediately after salvation and the other side believes grace continues throughout salvation. The “grace enders” say the “grace continuers” believe they have to get saved over and over and over. The “grace continuers” say the “grace enders” must not have gotten saved in the [...]
