Every one has heard the saying “Man’s best friend“. When people say this, they are usually talking about a dog. While dogs are great creatures and surely help any household, “Man’s best friend” is no beast. From the beginning, there was no beast that could possibly be suitable for a man. Because of this, God... Read more »
The subject of sin seems to be very cryptic as of recent years and continually lands Christians into confusion. I heard a sermon recently on the exact question “What is Sin?” and the answer was confusing and vague. The answer the pastor gave was “disobeying God.” Subsequently, the sermon was about drinking too much alcohol... Read more »
All Christians teach that God is eternal. They use the Bible primarily to explain why; but, what if someone needs a logical reason that is not based on the Bible. I wrote this article to show that, not only does the Bible teach that God is eternal; but, the normal logical mind can come to... Read more »
The first lesson of the Apostles Creed is, I believe in God, the Father Almighty. Christianity teaches that God is not only our creator, judge, and savior, He also is our Father. We have a God that has a personal relationship with us. We pray to God as our Father. We are children of God.... Read more »
The Creator of heaven and earth The underlying theme in Christian theology is the teaching that God created everything. The Bible does not teach a theology of random, arbitrary chances that banged the universe into order. While Christians believe God the Father created all things, we equally believe creation was done by the Son (the... Read more »
The word “Christian” means to be a follower of Christ. We believe Christ is the Son of God. Without the Son of God, there is no Christianity. In Christianity, we believe the Son of God was begotten before eternity. The Son of God is fully God and fully man. Christ mediates between us and God.... Read more »
An important aspect of Christ’s nature is that He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a woman. For Christ to be both God and man, He must fully possess both the divine and human natures without confusion or blending. This means that He is not partly God and partly human. Nor is... Read more »
The crucifixion and death of Christ are essential teachings in Christianity. Christians teach Christ died as a propitiation for the sin of His people in order to reconcile us to God and redeem us from our sin. Jesus dying for the sin of His people was prophesied by Isaiah in the Old Testament. Isaiah wrote,... Read more »
The most controversial part of the Apostles Creed is the statement “He descended into Hell.” While there are many that deny Heaven, Hell, or both, the Bible teaches that the righteous go to eternal life and the unrighteous to eternal destruction. Jesus said, “And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into... Read more »
Christ was crucified, died, buried, remained under the power of death and rose from the dead on the third day. After the Sabbath, the Mary’s and Salome went to the tomb where Jesus was buried. They found the tomb stone rolled away from the opening. “And when the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary... Read more »
According to the Bible, Jesus ascended into heaven. Before He did, He spent time teaching His disciples and preparing them for their ministry. This further proves that the disciples were true witnesses of His resurrection—they saw Him alive, touched Him, and knew He had truly risen in a physical body. Once His time of teaching...

After Christ ascended into heaven, Christ sat down at the “Right Hand of God.” The teaching that Christ sat down at the “Right Hand of God” shows that Christ is our judge, priest, and advocate between God and man. In the Old Testament, God promised that there would be a descendant from David that will... Read more »
Christ judges not only those who die at their death; but, He judges the living during their lifetime. His judgment happens in heaven at the “Throne of God.” Most confessions state that Christ will judge the dead in the future; however, the Bible shows clearly that judgment was, is, and will continue into the future....

In the Old Testament, the Holy Spirit was promised to be given to all of God’s people. This promise was fulfilled in the New Testament by the Apostles on the day of Pentecost. The Feasts in Leviticus 23 were prophecies and the foreshadowing of what the messiah would do. God told Moses to celebrate the... Read more »
There is a common misunderstanding regarding the catholic church. The word “catholic” is quite often used synonymously with the Roman Catholic church. The Roman Catholic church is a particular church in the catholic church. The “Nation of Israel” or “Israel” is also not the church. Nor is the Church the “New Israel.” In addition, the... Read more »
Many people associate communion solely with the “Lord’s Supper” or the “Eucharist.” While these practices involve communion, they are not the full meaning of it. The true mission of the Church is to come together in fellowship—to preach the gospel, minister to one another, and share our talents, abilities, and spiritual gifts to support God’s... Read more »
