• Is There Such a Thing as RIGHTEOUS HATRED or RIGHTEOUS ENMITY?

    Yes, there is such a thing as righteous hatred or righteous enmity. Believers are instructed to “be imitators of God” and “follow God’s example” in Ephesians 5:1 and the Scriptures clearly show that the LORD hates certain things: 16 There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: 17         haughty eyes, a lying tongue, […]

• What Is ONENESS Theology—aka “JESUS ONLY”—and Is It Biblical?

  There are variations of Oneness theology, but it comes down to the idea that the LORD is one singular person and thus manifests as Father, Son or Holy Spirit. This belief is unitarian and opposes the tri-unity of God. More specifically, Oneness theology advocates that Jesus is the one true God and can manifest as […]

• “Be Merciful, Just as Your Father Is Merciful”

    What did Christ mean when he said “Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful? Let’s read the full quote: “But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because […]

• “If Someone Takes Your Cloak, Do Not Stop Him From Taking Your Tunic”

    What did Christ mean by this instruction: “If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back.”  Luke 6:29-30 Years ago there was a woman at my (then) place of employment who […]

• What Does “GO THE EXTRA MILE” Mean?

  Christ instructed believers: “If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.” Matthew 5:41 What did the Lord mean by this? At that time, the Holy Land was under Roman control and Roman soldiers, who walked everywhere, were permitted by law to enlist non-citizens to carry their packs or equipment, but […]

• Was Jesus HOMELESS?

    Christ was a carpenter up until the age of 30; his erstwhile neighbors in Nazareth recognized him by his prior occupation (Mark 6:3 & Matthew 13:55). The Greek word for ‘carpenter’ is tektón (TEK-tohn), which refers to a craftsman, carpenter or artisan. Tektón is where we get the words tectonic and architect. In 1st Century […]

• The Left’s Unbalanced View of Christ & Christianity

  In this article we’re going to look at the view of Jesus Christ that Leftwingers tend to embrace, which they use to oppose & mock believers who don’t share their perspective, meaning those who are Independents or Conservatives and, especially, those they consider Rightwing, which – to the Far Left – basically means anyone who’s […]

• Understanding “the Right” and “the Left” from a Biblical Perspective

    Solomon was the wisest man on earth in his time (1 Kings 4:29-34) and this explains why God utilized his great knowledge and wisdom in three books of the God-breathed Scriptures. Notice what it says about Solomon when the Queen of Sheba came to visit him: Now when the queen of Sheba heard about […]

• Is it Ever Okay to Call Someone a “Fool”?

    Christ said “anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell” (Matthew 5:22). Does this mean a believer can never, ever call someone a fool under any circumstances? Obviously not since the Holy Scriptures written through designated people by the Holy Spirit openly describe certain people as fools (2 […]

• How to CONFRONT & CORRECT (and How NOT to)

  Genuine believers are to be submitted to one another (Ephesians 5:21), which means we’re accountable to each other based on the morality of New Covenant Christianity and the corresponding God-breathed Scriptures (2 Timothy 3:16-17 & 1 Corinthians 4:6). The biblical book of wisdom puts it like this: “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another” (Proverbs […]
