Theological Implications of Jesus' Resurrection for Salvation

Jesus’ resurrection is an essential element in soteriology. In fact, every writer of the NT assumes that Jesus was resurrected from the grave and treat it as an event that took place in time and space. Paul wrote that Jesus “was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures” (1 Cor 15:4), that He was “the first fruits of those who are asleep” (1 Cor 15:20), and that “having been raised from…

Christ's initial warning that he gave concerning the end times was, "Be Not Deceived" . . . His foremost sign regarding the end times was of False Teachers. . . (Matthew 24:4-5; Mark 13:5-6; Luke 21:8)

It's upsetting and disappointing how many in the Body receives these who are exactly who Christ forewarns: But, the apostasy of the Church or the "great falling away" is too a sign prior to the "man of sin" (II Thessalonians 2:3-4; I Timothy 4:1; II Timothy 4:3-4). There is a direct correlation between the two.

🤔 Only with God can a man have great success but yet fail or be lost . . . Men will rally behind one who is telling them what they want or allowing them to be how they want in the name of God . . . Churches flourish like this. But, "BE NOT DECEIVED. God is not mocked. Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap" (Galatians 6:7).

In the Church, in most instances, when we emphatically proclaim that one can really sang or that one can really preach, what is actually being praised or being stated is that "This person can really entertain you" . . .

I just keep silent, watch, and think. In these deceptive times, "Don't be deceived." You can't follow a crowd and find God. Much love 💝

📖 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; and that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. - 2 Timothy 3:13‭-‬15

Is the Bible Still Relevant Today? Some Criticisms and Theological Responses

Have you ever wondered why the Bible is still considered to be relevant today? Have a read of this week's blog post to learn more. May the Pece of Christ be with you all.

The Holy Bible is the cornerstone of Christianity and has profoundly transformed the minds of great thinkers throughout the course of human history. Nevertheless, many people in our current generation have questioned its relevance in context of our ‘post-modern’ world. Now, the Christian faith would argue differently. In this inquiry, we will have a discussion as to why the Bible can still be…

God's Dwelling Place

In my last post, I traced the theme of our being God’s people and His being our God through all of scripture. This theme is a unifying theme in the Bible—one message repeated by multiple authors. In that theme, we hear that God wants to dwell with us. In this post, I trace God’s dwelling place through scripture, Genesis to Revelation. We know that when God created our world, He created and…

What if the Crucifixion of Christ is a Future Event?

The preaching of the gospel, the good news, God's word is the only antidote that God has prescribed regarding this world. He gave his Son. The Son gave his life. By way of our belief in the gospel of Christ, he save and deliver us from this present evil world.

The Son did not come starting programs, beginning a political party, or any other thing. He came preaching and teaching the kingdom. He came preaching and teaching the time to come. He came preaching hope, belief, and faith in God; that if we believe and receive the kingdom of God, we will be there in that world to come. (He's going to destroy this one.)

The gospel is for the purpose of calling people out of this world. The gospel, good news, or God's word is for the purpose of stopping the the works of Satan. The preaching of the Word of God torments devils. The preaching of the Word has become my hope.

However, despite the supremacy of God's word, in this age of the Church, the word of God is not going to appeal to the Church. 📜 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; [4] and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. - II Timothy 4:3-4 It is therefore going to take for us to INDIVIDUALLY respond to God. In this age of the Church, it will not be a corporate turning unto God to take heed to, believe in, and for the hearing of God's word. 📜‭‭Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. - Revelation 3:20

📖 ‭‭Then they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and taught. [22] And they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. [23] Now there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, [24] saying, “Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!” [25] But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!” [26] And when the unclean spirit had convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him. - Mark 1:21-26

📖 ‭‭You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. - I John 4:4

📖 ‭‭He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. - I John 3:8

📖 ‭‭To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. [22] “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’ ” - Revelation 3:21-22

📖 ‭‭Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. - Revelation 21:1

writing my stupid little book (Cursed Is The Ground) and I've come to interpret the Tree of Knowledge in a different way. At first, I thought the eating of the fruit to be an act of sex and I still think it is in a way but I'm also thinking about the animals of Eden. The only thing differentiating Adam and Eve from the animals is their higher level of sentience but in many ways, they are still animal like. They are unaware of their nudity, innocent. SO maybe the fruit isn't about good or evil at all but more about perspective. They lived in one perspective all their live and that made them innocent. After "eating" they covered themselves. Not because they magically became naked but because they now KNOW of their nakedness. They leave Eden because they realize that it is not the paradise that they thought it was instead it is simply chaos. They can no longer live in ignorant bliss. They see the torture of living, they know of death.

In that way, it kind of makes more sense. God told them not to eat of the tree because the awareness of living is miserable and lonely. We see the archetype of the character who's super smart but also is super cynical and depressed BECAUSE of all the knowledge they hold and feel...lonely. Maybe God was attempting to save them from that because he feels the same way. How does a primordial divine being off itself? It is eternal.

Ugh- I love being a writer

The God-Man: Understanding the Deity and Humanity of Jesus

At a point in time, the eternal Son of God added humanity to Himself, simultaneously becoming God and man, Creator and creature, the unique theanthropic person (John 1:1, 14, 18; 8:58; 10:33; 20:28; Col 2:9; Heb 1:8). Jesus is the God-man and exists in hypostatic union, as a single Person with a divine and human nature (John 1:1, 14; 1 John 4:2-3), both natures being distinct and preserved, not…
