Salvation Series

 1. Take some time to pray for the teacher and preacher. Pray he or she will teach with precision and accuracy. Pray that he/she will teach with boldness even as The Lord gives him utterances.  2. Take some time to pray for your self that your heart and mind will be receptive to God’s word. James 1:21 "Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.https://bible.com/bible/1/jas.1.21.KJV 3. Take same time to study scriptures or texts in line with the topic of the bible study. This will help you prepare for questions for the purpose of clarity and not argument.  4. Go like a student: It’s a bible study and you must be ready to take notes. So, go with your pen and your word note. You must be willing to unlearn and re-learn and avoid unnecessary questions and argument. Titus 3:9 "But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they...

And the Lord descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord. And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation. Exodus 34:5‭-‬7 KJV‬‬ We have had theological discourses on this portion of Scriptures for a long time. It would appear that even those who use scriptures to back the law of karma, most times, use this as one of their scriptural backing. And here, it would seem, is the smoking gun: "...and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation." Exodus 34:7 ...

‘ As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated’. Romans 9:13 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/rom.9.13.KJV This verse of scriptures is one that has formed the scriptural' backing for the concept of destiny, Destiny which would mean a predetermined chart or course of life for everyone, as chosen by God This concept seems like the logical thing to believe, considering the fact that we believe God to be omniscient, knowing the end from the beginning, and we also believe Him to be omnipotent, all-powerful with no limits to what He can do. Let me point out that I am, IN NO WAY, doubting or attempting to disprove these fundamental characteristics of God. Rather, I'm trying to show us how we've interpreted this, using the lens of men, even though God, in His Word, has defined His omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence for us. For instance, we now know from Scriptures, that God cannot kill. Because there is no evil or unrighteousness in Him. This negates ...

  Jesus was engaging some would-be disciples and He made this important declaration: “ And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God”. Growing up, I'd been taught that this meant that if one backslides - meaning falls back into sin after they've repented of them - then they will not make heaven. On the surface, it would seem that this is the case. However, we thank God for better insight now into interpretation of Scriptures, and in view of this, it will be imperative that we revisit this text to understand what it is really talking about. One important aspect of hermeneutics (interpreting Scriptures) is to understand that to understand better, you don't look at verses on their own. Verses would draw meaning from the paragraphs or chapter(s) that they belong to. Which means to get what Luke 9:62 is saying, we would be have to consider the context, and from the pre and post text, we would see that...
