You have heard it said “the Holy Spirit came on the OT believers, but is in the NT believers”. Having thusly heard for many years, I thusly taught for many years. Now that I’m (again) studying my way through the book of Acts, I’m finding myself quite intrigued by the fact that the people who […] This is a story about Abraham’s Lot. As part of his inheritance, he was given a relative, and a promise of children like the stars. Enemies conspired against him and plundered Lot, taking him captive to a far away land. When Abraham heard of it, he gathered all his troops, left his holy […] Everyone is Commanded. Many are Called. Few are Chosen. Questions: “Commanded”, “Called” and “Chosen” …for what? To what? In other words, Everyone is commanded to _________. Many are called to _________. Few are chosen to _________. If the same word fits in all 3 blanks, does that match what the Bible teaches?

Google will help you find those sites. There’s one aspect of the Old Earth debate that I have never seen discussed anywhere and would like to explore here. But first, a word to the wise: since the Bible doesn’t explicitly state how young or […] When considering the remnant and the fate of those who aren’t part of the remnant, I think there’s a pattern that emerges. This struck me the other day from out of the blue when studying Isaiah. PRE-FLOOD Enoch – called out from the world Noah – called from the world; world destroyed
As I was working my way through Isaiah 9 and 10, I couldn’t help but notice that the description of the doom that was coming to Israel/Judah was punctuated by the repeated phrase “Despite all this, His anger does not subside, and His hand is ready to strike again.” (Isa 9:12, Isa 9:17, Isa 9:21, […] |
