    God's Relational Presence

    Hi Dex. Although the day and hour of the parousia are unknown (Matthew 24:36; Mark 13:32), the season of Christ’s return can be appreciated in the prophetic convergence of eschatological signs. There are many. I find the verses you cited to be instructive concerning the manner of Christ’s...

    God's Relational Presence

    God's Relational Presence

    I agree, DS. “See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ” (Colossians 2:8). Our news and social media are inundated with baseless propaganda and vain...

    Is accepting Jesus as messiah a sin?

    Understand, DL. Pulling Bible verses out of context generates misunderstanding and confusion. The aforementioned ancient Hebrew sacrificial system instituted by God (Leviticus 16) foreshadows Christ.

    “He is to cast lots for the two goats—one lot for the Lord and the other for the scapegoat” (Leviticus 16:8). “But the goat chosen by lot as the scapegoat shall be presented alive before the Lord to be used for making atonement by sending it into the wilderness as a scapegoat” (Leviticus...
