 I will like to establish first, that there is no new revelation! There is nothing new in biblical theory except that which is false.  2 Peter 1:20 (KJV) : Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 2 Peter 1:21 (KJV): "For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.  The message of grace or new creation realities or the finished work or what have you, is not new. A truth will always be a truth and a lie will remain a lie. We do not interpret the scriptures to prove a point! I always like to say that revelation is not progressive. For an instance; You cannot be catching rhema up an down! The last verse of the scriptures below does not mean the lifting up of Jesus in WORSHIP will please God or rather win souls to God.  John 12:30 (KJV): "Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes".   John 12:31 (KJV): "Now...

Christ in the Incarnation is to be physically determined; which explains the genealogies in Matthew and Luke, which establishes that He was human, with roots to Abraham (as fulfillment of the promise to Abraham) to show He was of Jewish stock, and with roots to David (as fulfillment of the promise to David) to show that He was of royal stock: the King by human and eternal heritage. However, Christ in the Resurrection can only be discerned through Scriptures. He must be 'seen' by revelation through the Word, which is why Luke 24:24-26, 36-47 are very important. Let's develop on this a little more. There is a proclivity to call ourselves 'children of Abraham', and we would have some Scriptural justification: “And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.”   — Galatians 3:29 (KJV) So, we have called ourselves children of Abraham because we believed, just like Abraham did. But in truth, do we hail from Abraham? If yes, ho...

Part of our Sunday School teachings/indoctrination is the view that eternal life is for those who 'endure till the end', meaning eternal life is a reward for righteous living. Apostle Paul presents us with two scenarios that may make us see that our Sunday School teachers may not have been right after all. First, let's examine 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.  Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;  Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.  If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.  If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 1 Corinthians 3:11‭-‬15 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/1co.3.11-15.KJV It's imp...

"Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;  How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.  For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;  Praying us with much entreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.  And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God." 2 Corinthians 8:1‭-‬5 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/2co.8.1-5.KJV "For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.  And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.  Now therefore perform the doing of it; th...
