Identifying The Seed of Abraham
Who is the seed of Abraham? What is their inheritance according to the promise? Who are the descendants of Abraham after him and what about their inheritance? These questions sum up the entire bible in terms of God's relationship with his people. The promise of deliverance from sin and death alluded to in Genesis 3:15, is carried through Abraham then more narrowly through Isaac and Jacob.
The Promised Seed of Abraham
God gave Abraham the promise according to Genesis 12:1-3. "Now the Lord had said to Abraham; Get out of your country, from your family and from your ...

Much of the understanding on hell is
distorted by the faulty translations of
older Bible versions.
Use of the world hell in many Bible
texts convey meanings which the
apostolic authors never understood
or intended.
What for example, would be the meaning
of “shall the gates of hell prevail?”
This question derives from a statement
Christ made during his public ministry in
a conversation with his disciples.
And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it?” (Matt. 16:18)
The King James Version often renders the word “Hades” (realm of the unseen) ...

The debate over the nature of the
resurrection body continues.
Paul anticipates a question from some
who ask, How are the dead
raised and with what body do they
come? (1 Cor. 15:35)
He replies with an analogy that is
troubling for many. Foolish one, what
you sow is not made alive unless it dies.
And what you sow, you do not sow
that body that shall be, but mere
grain—perhaps wheat or some other
grain.
Two things Paul says about the
resurrection body in verses 36–37.
It is not made alive unless it
dies.
It is not the same body as that
which is sown.
With What Body Do They Come?
To consider the first, whatever the
resurrection body is, ...

Are You waiting for the Second Coming?
One church of 45 members in Strong
City New Mexico recently waited till midnight.
Wayne Bent, claims to be anointed by
God as the Messiah. Recently, he and
his followers hopes were dashed while
they waited till midnight for the Rapture.
They were tired of the burden’s of earthly
life and wanted to checkout early, via
deliverance from the Lord.
Somehow, they miscalculated on the
date of the Lord’s return. They expected
to hear the last trumpet sound to end
the year of Jubilee.
Unfortunately, all was silent and according
to reports from Strong City, Mr. Bent, went
to jail.
This is a clear example and logical end
of the erroneous ...
