Did Jesus See A World Without Marriage?
Jesus spoke with religious rulers of his day about the end of a tradition in marriage. Did Jesus see a world without marriage? Lately, there’s been a lot of talk about whether the rights of marriage should be extended to the gay community.
After giving some thought about living in a world without traditional marriages, the following thoughts occurred to me. If there were no marriages, eventually, population numbers would significantly decrease. This would temporarily lower the unemployment rate.
However, with smaller populations, the world’s productivity will also cease, so we won’t be as efficient and productive. Next, ...

Is The Day of the Lord Near?
The prophets all spoke of the day of the Lord. However, they all spoke of a time that was future to their day. Is the day of the Lord near to us?
Peter records that they did not prophesy for their time, but for a future generation. Abraham, who likewise saw the day of the Lord, (John 8:56),
saw it afar off (Heb. 11:13).
On the other hand, some in the New Testament saw the day of the Lord as having occurred as early as the mid-first century. (2 Thess 2:1).
Why is there such a wide span of ...

it is important that we seek to identify

you believe this must occur in some future end
time program?

answer the question of the how did the sun,
moon and stars fall? Click to listen to audio:
falling_sun_moon_stars.
Its important to understand this concept in order
to make sense of Bible prophecy. Failure to do so
has led others to viciously attack Christianity as
a false religion.

promised to return in the first century and
destroy a world including predicting the fall
of the sun, moon and stars.

Is Fleshly Circumcision an Everlasting Covenant?

An Everlasting Covenant?
Is fleshly circumcision an everlasting covenant? Does God require circumcision today as he required Abraham’s descendants? Are children of God today bound under the terms of Genesis 17:13? Did not God make it a part of the gospel promise made to Abraham? The problem is a misunderstanding of the word “everlasting” as used in certain passages. Note: We are not discussing the medical merits of circumcision. For such matters consult your physician or urologist. We are concerned only with the theological and religious import.
How do we understand the word everlasting covenant from forever as olam is sometimes translated? See Strong’s ...
