The Strange Case of Julian “The Apostate”
The Roman emperor, known as Julian “the Apostate,” represents but another “glitch” on the panoramic screen of history in the futile efforts to discredit Christianity.
The Challenge of “Agape” Love
It is a noble and worthy challenge to love with the love that Jesus has for all mankind.
Did David Sin against God Only?
In Psalm 51, it appears that David is praying for forgiveness after having committed fornication with Bathsheba (as indicated in the superscription). How then could he have said to God, “Against thee, thee only, have I sinned” (v. 4)?
Binding and Loosing
The Roman Catholic church claims that Jesus Christ gave Peter the authority to bind and loose religious law. Matthew 16:19 is a record of this occasion, they say. Was Peter singled out to become the first pope in this passage?
1 Corinthians 1:8 – Confirmed unto the End
Some contend this passage indicates that miracles are a present-day reality. Wayne Jackson explains why this cannot be true.
Matthew 16:19 — Binding and Loosing
Despite the assertions of the Roman Catholic Church, there is no biblical evidence for the “primacy of Peter” doctrine. Study with us one of the passages that is misused to support this heresy.
Peace
The Greek word eirene (“peace”) may derive from an original term meaning, “to weave together.” This is a very significant Bible word. (a) There is a peace to be sought with God. Sin has separated m...
Prophecy
“Prophecy” is a message from God; the act of bringing forth that message is “prophesying.” “Prophecy” derives from a compound Greek term consisting of pro (“forth”) and phemi, “to speak,” hence, "t...
Reason
Reason is the intellectual ability of human beings to gather facts and from them draw correct conclusions. Reason is one of the traits of human kind that separates man from animals (cf. Jude 10). T...
Sanctified
Sanctified suggests “having been separated from (something), set apart.” The term is used in a variety of ways in the Bible. (a) Both God the Father and Christ the Son are to be sanctified (Num. 20...
Temptation
The original words that are rendered by the English “tempt” are employed in two broad senses in the Scriptures, depending upon the context in which they are found. First, the concept may be that of...
The Jesus Seminar – Part 2
A response to The Jesus Seminar, as featured by the Peter Jennings ABC special, In Search of Jesus
Words Fitly Spoken
Words are vehicles of communication. Since it is the case that “words” can lead either to salvation or to condemnation, it is important that Christians craft a vocabulary that expresses biblical ideas in their purest form. Study this issue with us in this month’s Feature.
Matthew’s Use of the Term “Fulfilled”
When the apostle Matthew wrote that an Old Testament prophecy had been “fulfilled” by Christ, just what did he mean? Engage in this study with us.
Titus 2:14; 1:16 & Revelation 3:5-16 – Three Types of “Good Works”
The New Testament depicts three attitudes/practices relative to “good works.” This makes for a fascinating study.
John 2:1ff – The Wine that Jesus Made
What was the nature of the product of Jesus’ first miracle at Cana?
Matthew 13:8 – Seed Sown in “Good Ground”
By way of a parable, Jesus instructed that a respect and desire for truth is integral to one’s accepting the Gospel message.
Acts 2:38 – Carroll Osburn and “For the Remission of Sins”
Many denominationalists have long argued that “for the remission of sins” in Acts 2:38 can mean “because of” (i.e. – be baptized because your sins have been remitted). But the same term is found in Matthew 26:28 – clearly indicating the meaning of the term.
Mark 11:20 – Jesus Curses a Fig Tree
Does Jesus’ cursing of the fig tree in Mark 11 reveal a “dark side” to the Savior? Not at all. Wayne Jackson explains this curious passage.
Isaiah 7:14 – Did Isaiah Prophesy the Virgin Birth of Christ?
Many liberal theologians do not believe in the predictive prophecy of the Old Testament. Therefore, they claim that the term “virgin” should be translated as “young maiden” or “young woman.” Is this true?
