Some Calvinists say that God controls everything right down to the tiniest particle that makes up the atoms in a dust mote. This notion makes everything and everyone special, because God is intimately manipulating all things great and small in His creation. This means that every human being is special in God’s ultimate plan and purpose. It also means that God causes…
After comparing the dispensation given to Paul and the dispensation of the fulness of times, we arrive at a scriptural definition of what a dispensation may be. Although this definition will require further scrutiny and discussion, it is based only on the Word of God, and ignores the wisdom of man’s created definitions.
The Theological definition of ‘dispensation’ can’t stand up to the scrutiny of scripture alone. One has to create what isn’t found in the Word of God to get the standard definition. Even then, there are dozens, if not hundreds of definitions of the word. But if we leave Theology behind and use only scripture to find a definition, a clearer picture begins…
Looking at words in Colossians 2 and defining them using scripture. The four words are hid, beguile, spoil, and complete.
If Genesis 1:1 says God created the heaven, and Genesis 1:2 says the heavens were finished, when was that first heaven created? God has a purpose and plan for the heavens and a purpose and plan for the earth, that they all end up in Christ. He has been revealing his plan for the earth since Genesis 1:2. His plan for the…
Some proponents of Calvinism teach that God caused Pilate and Israel to crucify Christ. That they really had no choice or free will in the matter. Taking this stance leads them to believe that God controls everything, down to the dust motes floating in the air. If this is true, God committed the greatest sin in all of human history. Did Israel…
In I Corinthians 9:17, Paul says that “a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.” How is that gospel any different from other gospels? Why is it a dispensation of the gospel and why was it committed only to Paul. Every gospel mentioned in the scripture always comes down to faith. Believing what God has revealed to man is always the…
The gap theory, the idea that there was an age between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2 is much disputed among Christians. It is even disputed in our local church. This is the first of two messages discussing whether there was an age between the original creation when Lucifer fell, or whether that is unsound. https://www.youtube.com/@GraceAliveMinistries https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61586207050239
Continuing the study of angels and the angel of the LORD.
Many times when someone barely misses a tragedy, they will attribute their fortune to God. One example of this is when an untied bootlace saved the life of Engelbert Humperdink during the second world war. He said that God must have been looking out for him. But what about the guys who died? Was God not looking out for them? The idea…
