One Hope of the Gospel - Eternal Life
The hope of the gospel is eternal life. Is this hope realized or yet to be realized? Many do not believe eternal life is present. They remain perpetually in hope. This video delves into the topic showing the Scriptural basis of the resurrection. We explore basic principles of hope, then apply the Scriptures to the topic as we explain the meaning of each.

Eternal Conscious Punishment and the Immortal Body
In this post, I have a few questions and observations I want to raise for those who accept the individual body view of resurrection in 70 AD, with ongoing individual bodies being raised to immortality after death.
This view is strongly advocated by Ed Stevens, a long time friend and brother in Christ. This writing is not a personal attack on Stevens. It merely focuses on his position and the problems I see with it.
It allows an opportunity to evaluate the individual body view in the light of Ed's teachings and what we believe the ...

The Body of Christ - The Hope of Israel
It is claimed by some that the body of Christ, i.e. the church of Christ was not prophesied in the Old Covenant.

There is but one hope of the gospel (Eph. 4:5). Therefore, the fulfillment of the Law of Moses fulfills the gospel hope.

What Is The Resurrection All About?
May 3rd, 2010 | Resurrection | 2 Comments
What is the resurrection all about? So many believe and teach that one day God is going to open the graves, reassemble the bones of people from the past centuries up to the present and bring them out of the tombs. It will be a reenactment similar to that of the scene from Michael Jackson's thriller video with people coming out of the ground.
Is that resurrection? If so, what did David mean when he said, "As for me, I will see your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness"? (Psa. 17:15) Was David ...
