In our previous article we considered what the standard of measurement was that could have been used in order for MESSIAH to pronounce blessing upon some of the believers at Ephesus for their works, and cursing upon others for their deeds. That standard had to have been the Torah of YHWH since there is ample [...]
Can we find out what the “doctrine of Balaam” was by examining Balaam in the Scriptures? Lets have a looksee! We find from Numbers 22-23 that he was a prophet “for profit” (i.e. he could be bought with money.) It appears that Balaam liked the high places and to be known as a prophet. We [...]
Trying to understand just exactly who the Nicolaitans are and their deeds and doctrine have been topics for discussion in just about every study of the two portions of Scriptures mentioning these people.

Believers are constantly being accused by the accuser of committing the unpardonable sin or “blasphemy of the HOLY SPIRIT!” But what exactly is that? Have you ever thought that you had committed it? Let’s take a look in the Scriptures and see if we can gain a better understanding of this concept. The actual word [...]
