Being thankful for what Christianity has brought to our societies
I’m doing a course in biblical interpretation at the IBI and this came up during it. I thought I’d post it here for others to see also. All comments are welcome. First this from a bible school textbook: “We are under the new covenant and not under the old covenant thus we are not under…

Submission
When Jesus was 12 He went up to Jerusalem with His parents. When they went home He stayed behind, beginning the work His Father had called Him to do. But they didn’t understand that when He told them. So He went back with them and stayed in submission to them until the Jewish age of…

Loving the Greek…..
The New Testament was originally written in Greek since that was the “English” or “lingua Franca” of the the first century. So I thought it would be a good idea to learn the NT or Koine Greek some years ago. I must admit though that the vast range of English translations we have seem to…

Disciples, Saints and Overcomers
Disciples is the term used in the four gospels and Acts, Saints is the term used in the letters and Overcomers is the term used in Revelation (chapters 2 & 3). And I believe they all refer to the same thing – they mean Christians who are loving the Lord their God with all their…

Forgiveness
From chapters 9 – 11 of Romans, Paul wrestles with the mysteries of pre-destination. Finally at the end he seems almost to throw his hands up in the air and admit he can’t explain it. This reaction seems triggered by the remarkable conclusion he comes to in Romans 11:32: “For God has committed them all…

The sower sows the word
Luke 8:11 explains that when the Scripture talks about seed it is referring to the word of God. Its one of those key verses like Rev. 1:20 which explains an object picture that God uses to describe something spiritual. The parable of the sower in Matthew 13, Mark 4 and Luke 8 is an important…
