The Gospel Of Repentance

The question is a valid question. One I will attempt my best to answer. We must keep in mind when asking God questions, we must never ask in a accusative manner for who are we to question God? Will the thing formed say to the one that formed him why did you make me like this? (Romans 9:20). Exodus 20:13 commands us that we are not to murder. But in Genesis 22 we read the account of God commanding Abraham to offer Isaac as a sacrifice to Him (God). This on the surface it appears God is contradicting himself. Is He? Let’s examine carefully these two commands. First, in Genesis 22:1-19 we read: And it came to pass after these things, that God did prove Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham. And he said, Here am I. 2  And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son, whom thou lovest, even Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah. And offer him there for a burnt-offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. 3  And Abraham rose early in the morning, and...

              Quite simply a false prophet is a liar. One that claims to speak in the name of the Lord and his word doesn’t come to pass is a false prophet and is worthy of death. This only has to occur once for you to be a false prophet. If God is truly speaking to the individual, that word will surely come to pass 100% of the time for God has breathed his word into the soul of that man/woman and they literally become the mouthpiece of the Lord God Almighty. False prophets primarily do two things: 1.    They speak falsely in the name of the Lord 2.    They lead people into sin because of their lies (Jim Jones, David Koresh, Heaven’s Gate Cult, Islam, etc) Ø   Proverbs 14:5 declares that: A faithful witness will not lie but an unfaithful witness will utter lies. Ø   Proverbs 21:28 declares: A false witness will perish Ø   Jeremiah 23:32: Behold I am against them that prophesy false dreams sait...

                                                By Delvin Arnold Much has been said regarding men and women and their roles in the Church of Jesus Christ. There is an ongoing debate and will be until the rapture of the Church particularly regarding women serving as Pastors, Elders, and Bishops in the Church today. While the primary focus of this manuscript will be on the roles of men and women in the local church, a subtopic will focus on women in scripture that have left a lasting legacy. Is scripture clear regarding the roles of men and women in the public assembly or is it silent? What determines truth, a person’s subjective “revelation” of what they believe God told them, or the authoritative word of God? These questions the writer believes have to be answered in order to logically come to grips with an issue that’s staring the church in the face today l...

When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel. And I say to you that many will come from the east and west and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, but the children of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. These three verses refer to the Roman centurion who came to Jesus and asked Him to heal his servant who was paralyzed. The centurion was a Gentile, meaning he was not a Hebrew and was not part of the chosen people, the covenant community, the commonwealth of Israel. That is why in vs. 8-9 he declared to Jesus, “I am not worthy that you should come under my roof. But only speak a word (emphasis added) and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man under authority and have soldiers under me. And I say to one ‘Go’ and he goes, and to another ‘Come’ and he comes, and to my servant ‘Do this’ and he does it.” So w...
