The following paragraph from a typical commentary is supposed to help the reader understand and rightly apply Romans 8:1-8. The perspective seen in this commentary reflects that perspective held by much of today’s traditional Christianity regarding The Law of GOD. Unfortunately a “dumbing down” of today’s believer has enabled this nonbiblical perspective to be propagated. [...]
I have been teaching the bible for nearly thirty years and pastoring full time for over twenty two of those years. For a major portion of that time I was deceived by thinking that GOD’S Law was practically irrelevant to me as a Christian. Once that I became aware of the deception and decided to [...]
For years I’ve been asked about the validity of women wearing head coverings. I thank a reader named Brandy for prompting me to write this article! My sincere desire is to see The Body of MESSIAH come out of the traditions of men and walk in the Truth of GOD’S Word! This small step for [...]
