The sin that needs to be confessed in I John is not only the sins of the fathers, but the sin of the nation in rejecting their Messiah. This confession is for national blessing, not for personal salvation. The commandments mentioned again and again in I John are not the commandments of the law. They are “his” commandments – the commandments that…
Genesis 6 gives the account of the sons of god coming in to the daughters of men and creating a race of giants. This account is somewhat controversial as to what exactly does it mean. In this study, we look at the account and many of the reasons we believe the sons of god were, in fact, fallen angels. It was the…
Idolatry is a very serious issue in scripture. Man has always looked for ways to worship the creature more than the creator. In this study, Dave looks at the history and damage of idolatry. https://www.youtube.com/@GraceAliveMinistries
The mis-understanding of I John 1:8-10 has caused many bad doctrines and even confusion about how one obtains eternal life in any dispensation. Jesus Christ is eternal life and the only way to receive eternal life is by the gift of God placing one into Christ. There are never any works involved. The confession in I John has nothing to do with…
Those first 11 chapters of Genesis that were discussed in the previous message also brought about the formation of how societies function for the most part even until today. First was volition. Volition is not only the freedom to choose, but the responsibility to do so. Next there was marriage. It was formed as a union between one man and one woman.…
John is writing to those that he doesn’t know. He is making known to them that he is an eyewitness of those things done and said by Jesus Christ. Throughout this book, he will repeatedly go back to what Christ said to the disciples and put it in this letter. It is almost as though this letter were sent as a forward…
When you read through I John, you constantly see what seems to be contradictions. He exhorts them not to sin, then says that they cannot sin. He commands them to love their brother, then tells them that those who walk in light (believers that he is writing to) do love their brother. He tells them that they need no man to teach…
Today it would be absurd to think that there is someone alive who had known someone who had known Christ. But when we look at the patriarchs from Genesis 1 to Genesis 11, this could type of thing could have been possible even until Jacob was a small child. Shem, the son of Noah, lived until the time of Abraham, Isaac and…
Throughout the Old and New Testament narratives, we see examples of those who refused to disobey God because their government demanded it. Each time it is done, the consequences of following God are taken willingly. Paul, when he was taken by the Romans to save him from the Jews, appealed to Caesar. From that time forward, each tome he was examined at…
Good governance is that which provides accountability for volition based on TRUTH. Bad governance is that which governs or judges for personal rewards. (Amazing how federal legislators all become wealthy while in office.) Bad governance divides citizens into classes, from the important ones to the most unimportant ones. Bad governance in almost every historical case, seeks to take volition away from those…
