On the one hand is money and on the other, wisdom . Money can help one avoid and even preserve a person f...

  Spiritual Focus   Colossians 3:2 (2) Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. New King James Version     Change your email Bible version   Paul is telling us where the focus of our attention needs to be. We can give our minds over to a lot of things, for instance, to our jobs - and there is a place for that. We can give our minds over to physical things - exercise, eating well, and so forth - and there is a place for these, too. Indeed, humans need to set their minds on many things, but they need to be prioritized correctly - put into the right niche and position . Then each of these things has to be seen in relation to the Kingdom of God . Our priorities must be set according to this standard - the overriding goal of our Christian lives. "Set your mind on things above" adjusts the focus of our attention so that we do not become distracted by things that are less important for any longer than needed, so that the...

(14) You shall keep the Sabbath, therefore, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people.

This question can be logically answered in the Word of God.  When Christ was teaching he told the people to "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me" (John 5:39). "The Jews considered that eternal life was revealed to them in their Scriptures, and that they had it, because they had the word of God in their hands. Jesus urged them to search those Scriptures with more diligence and attention....They did indeed search the Scriptures, but it was with a view to their own glory..." ( https://www.biblegateway.com/resources/commentaries/Matthew-Henry/John/John-5-39-44 ). They searched but, because they were seeking "their own glory", they could not then and do not to this day see Jesus Christ as the messiah.  On the surface, that is what this scripture is referring to, the religious Jewish authorities questioning His claim to be the Messiah. But there is a message here that goes deeper than th...

Popular myth: Hell is a Biblical doctrine that is in the Bible from the beginning to the end.     "This is not true! Two thirds of the Bible (the Old Testament) does not mention Hell at all. (“Sheol,” the Old Testament word that is sometimes translated as Hell, only means “grave” by definition, and it is where everyone in the Old Testament went when they died--good or evil, Jew or Gentile).  The other translation is a "pit". Thus the Old Testament does not contain the modern Christian concept of Hell! "If Hell is real, why did God tell the Jews that burning their children alive in the fire to the false god Molech, (in the valley of Gehenna) was so detestable to Him? God said that such a thing “never even entered His mind” (Jer. 32:35). "How could God say such a thing to Israel, if He has plans to burn alive a good majority of His own creation in a spiritual and eternal Gehenna of His own making? "FACT: The King James Bible erroneously ...

In Jeremiah 9:1-26 , the prophet, began his lamentation because he saw the inevitable catastrophe coming to his country and people. God pronounced judgment over Jerusalem, and when God says something, He does it. What they would face wasn't something that was going to happen by accident or by chance, was going to be designed by God.   It was not just one of those terrible and inexplicable things that happen from time to time. What they would face was going to be the direct judgment of God. And it was this realization that was causing Jeremiah such sorrow. They were bring this catastrophe on themselves.   It was not God being vindictive, it was them bringing this on themselves. The cross should be a revelation to our dull senses of the pain that sin has brought to the heart of God our Creator.   But, like in the time of Jeremiah, people continue to ignore this fact. When there comes the calamities that are sure to result from our separation from God, it is ...
