A Stopping Point in Acts
The book of the Acts of the Apostles is the account of the apostles going to Israel with the witness and testimony of Jesus Christ empowered with the Spirit. When the book ends so do the Spirit filled Acts. The Holy Spirit is mentioned throughout. First, being poured out upon the twelve kingdom apostles, and […]

Satan the Accuser
Satan hates mankind, and believers even more so because of their message. 1 Thessalonians 2:18Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us. As we have all been reminded in the past when we attended denominational churches, Satan is the accuser, and he will always accuse us […]

It Has Been Revealed
Ephesians 3:5Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; The faith of Christ according to the revelation of the mystery is now revealed unto all men, namely that: 📌 Christ has reconciled himself to believers of […]

Ministries of Accusation
Institutionalised churches (so-called) out there are ignorant of the ministry of reconciliation, therefore they believe men’s sins are imputed today, hence the reason they teach and advise men to continually repent of their sin and change the way they live in order to garner favour with God. They purport to know Jesus Christ according to […]

The Heat
When one looks at scripture pertaining to the last days (the tribulation), one realises that the current climate crisis is a build up or the world being prepared for a future time. We are currently experiencing an ecological breakdown and an altered composition of the earth’s atmosphere which will all tie in with future events, […]

HOW That He Died For Our Sins
Matthew 27:33-50And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull, [34] They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink. [35] And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be […]

How Christ was Buried
John 19:40-42Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. [41] Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. [42] There laid […]

The Resurrection
Believing Christ rose from the dead on the 3rd day for your justification as opposed to Him having actually risen just as an historical fact, is important, as many who label themselves “Christian” believe only that Christ’s shed blood is important for salvation, but the entire salvation transaction, namely, His death for our sins, his […]

The Latter Days
Often we make the mistake of looking at current world events to garner where we are on the dispensational timeline, rather we should be looking at what Paul says to know we are in the last days of the dispensation of grace. Concerning Believers 1 Timothy 4:1-3Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter […]

Who is Paul?
2 Thessalonians 3:17The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write. He was a Jew in the flesh Acts 21:39But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, […]

The Pauline Curriculum
It is true that in Paul’s epistles alone we find the doctrine, walk, destiny, and purpose of the church for this dispensation. Paul’s epistles reveal a specific curriculum to produce unashamed workmen fit for God’s service. Here are brief summaries of the contents of his epistles. – Romans: Laying a doctrinal foundation; installing right doctrine. […]

Our Ministry of Reconciliation
What is the word of reconciliation that has been committed to each and every believer to preach in this current dispensation? Namely, that God made provision for everyone’s sins on the Cross two millennia ago through His Son, Jesus Christ by reconciling the whole world to Himself in order that it may have a chance […]

What Does God say About Love?
It mustn’t be false, hypocritical or pretentious. Romans 12:9Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 2 Corinthians 6:6By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, It does not cause harm to one’s neighbour. Romans 13:10Love worketh no ill to […]

There Will Not Only Be Wrath and Judgment During the Tribulation
But also God’s grace, peace and love upon believers. 1 Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. 2 Peter 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the […]

Apostasy in the Future and a Second Chance
Apostasy in Future 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; [4] Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that […]

One Verse Wonders
We aren’t and never should be. 2 Corinthians 5:19To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Since “to wit” means “namely”, we find the meaning of this particular verse in the aforementioned verse 18. 2 Corinthians […]

Saul’s Intended Punishment Under the Law, But Now…
Acts 9:4And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why PERSECUTEST thou me? Matthew 25:45-46Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. [46] And these shall […]

Sadly, This Mystery Remains Largely a Secret to This Day
It’s the wisdom of God contained in this mystery that was ordained for our glory: 1 Corinthians 2:7But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: It is identified by Israel’s temporary blindness in this parenthesis (Dispensation of Grace): Romans 11:25For […]

Another Acts 28 Absurdity
Hyperdispensationalism questions where in Acts 9 Paul was given the Dispensation of Grace. Acts 9:4-5And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? [5] And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for […]

Which Gospel Do We Preach?
Ever thought how utterly absurd Acts 28 theology is which hands Paul’s Acts epistles over to Israel (the Jews and their proselytes), then at the same token believes 2 Corinthians 5:19, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 and Galatians 2:7 must however be applied today. If Hyperdispensationalism had its way, the world would be devoid of synonyms, nicknames […]
-
Which Jesus Do We Preach?
There is a belief doing the rounds that Paul preached “Jesus the Son of God to the Jews only in his Acts epistles”. Truthfully speaking though, Paul preached Jesus Christ that he was the Son of God to both ignorant Jews and Gentiles alike because The Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God died for […]
-
Unbelieving Israel
There is a consensus out there that all of Israel will be saved, but not all Jews in future will believe. Who is unbelieving Israel? Those who deny Christ, the Son of God. Matthew 27:1-2When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him […]

Matthew 24
The verse which “outfoxes” many today: Matthew 24:34Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Most take the words “this generation” mentioned in this verse to literally mean their own generation, suffice it to say, this has been going on since “the year dot” and each generation […]

Dispensational: Not Imputing Trespasses/Sins
Romans 5:12-13Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: [13] (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Sin and death entered the world through Adam, […]

Romans 5 is Awesome
God’s provision for those who were once his enemies. Romans 5:7-9For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. [8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. [9] Much more then, being […]

The Benefits of Being in Christ are Different to Rewards
The verse which has literally been debated ‘to death’: Romans 8:17. Romans 8:16-17The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: [17] And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

One Body, Two Kinds of Members
Although we are one body (the body of Christ), it consists mainly of two kinds of members, namely: 1. THE FAITHFUL 1 Corinthians 4:1-2Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. [2] Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found […]

Ah, Yes… the Conscience…
That forgotten “thing”, that ” small voice” most do not pay attention to in the 21st century, and if it is ignored too many a time, it is seared. 1 Timothy 4:1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of […]

An Excuse
The verse most Believers use as an excuse in order not to be corrected by scripture: 2 Corinthians 1:24Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand. Wanting truth and sound doctrine is not having “dominion over another’s faith”. Grace should be the reason […]

Mankind’s Current Condition Has Already Been Assessed
The “playing fields” have been levelled between Jew and Gentile, meaning, Israel has lost her advanced status: Romans 3:9What then? are we better than they ? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; Man in his carnal state cannot has absolutely no hope […]
-
Unstable/Double Minded
Unstable: changeable, fickle, unbalanced, unsteady. God compares being unstable to being like water and says those who are unstable won’t excel. Genesis 49:4Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed; then defiledst thou it : he went up to my couch. Double mindedness for one leads to instability. […]

According to Truth
We worship God according to our obedience to the word of truth dispensationally discerned. (2 Timothy 2:15 KJB). Matthew 15:9But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. God’s judgment on the lost will be according to the truth. Romans 2:2 But we are sure that the judgment of God […]

Grace Believers Should Not be Renegade Believers…

Why Does Paul Say “a Dispensation of the Gospel” was Committed to Him?
1 Corinthians 9:17For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me. ⚓ ⚓ ⚓ ⚓ This is a dispensation of the gospel of Christ in accordance to prophecy which was given to the twelve apostles: Mark 1:1-2 The beginning […]

Related Meanings
The words “defraud” and “wrest” have similar meanings. Defraud: the crime of using dishonest methods to take something valuable from another person.

Hyper-Literalism
The phenomenon of misinterpreting metaphors and figurative language as being literal, especially when it relates to the Bible, these folk claim to believe what it says, as it says it, without reservation.

Shmita or Sabbatical Cycles of Time
Shmita, the 7th year of release or rest. Firstly, let me reiterate that these are not applicable today, it’s just very interesting to know how the law applied to nature and farming in times past during Israel’s reign as well as how it will apply in times to come. Furthermore, after 49 years, 7 cycles […]

Do We Have ‘A Personal Relationship with God’?
Nowhere in the Bible can we find where we as believers have a personal relationship with God… This belief is unscriptural. The truth is, and I quote: “Our Relationship with Goda. Our relationship is not intimate in the carnal sense – 1 Cor 2:10-13b. Life in Christ is not a pitter patter of your heart […]

Many Modern Skeletons and Ancient Bones Are Strewn On the “Road” That Winds Through Paul’s Acts Epistles
Failure to understand Romans to Galatians trips many Right Dividers up and leaves them in limbo, grasping at doctrinal straws. Misunderstanding these epistles sends many to “Acts 28 Land” (Hyper-Dispensationalism) and in some cases even leads others to “Hyper-Grace Land” (Universalism). Yet, in context, Israel’s prophetic program is busy diminishing during this time and her […]

Is There Any Greater Love Than This?
John 15:13Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Romans 5:10For if, when we were enemies, we […]

Where is the Devil Today?
He certainly isn’t to be found in Bars, clubs and places of ill repute. He can, however, clearly be discerned to be standing behind religious pulpits, as well as religious places of worship.

God’s Wrath, a Foregone Conclusion
Not many like to reference this subject during the dispensation of grace, but Paul sure did. — Romans 3:5But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say?

Divine Sanction
The term divine sanction is used to convey the idea that man is ultimately answerable to God for his actions here on earth. Romans 13:1-4Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers.

Even in Paul’s Epistles Do We Find Those Adhering to New & Old Testament Doctrine

Judged Unworthy of Eternal Life By Whom?
Interesting point with respect to the people mentioned here, along with all those who do not believe the gospel, they judge themselves to be unworthy of of eternal life, not God.

It Should Make You Think
