No Comment Did God Condemn All Body Art?
Does Leviticus 19:28 apply to all body art or just to tattoos? Some argue that Leviticus 19:28 is without restriction, i.e. is not limited to the occult practices of marking the body on behalf of the dead. "You shall not shave around the sides or your head, nor shall you disfigure the edges of your beard. You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the Lord." (Lev. 19:27-28).
These statements were made to the Old Covenant nation of Israel. God gave the covenant to ...

No Comment Are Your Tattoos A Sin?
Our examination of this study arose from a buzz on the internet regarding tattoos. Tattoos are so common today that not many people take much notice. I'm sure everyone remembers former basketball star, Dennis Rodman's tattoos. Many others have followed the practice of tattooing or covering their bodies with body art. Our question is can we use Leviticus 19:28 as a text to condemn wearing tattoos? The question is not merely about practice of body art as it is about the proper use and application of the Law of Moses. Our interest is to show ...

We are responding to Dr. Edward Hinson’s
attack on Preterism. Among questions
entertained already, he submits yet another
one which he believes refutes Preterism.
Paul asks in “Romans 11, Has God Cast Away His People, Israel?” Dr. Hinson teaches Preterism implies such. We deny the charge.
He asks, “If God is finished with ethnic Israel, why did Paul ask: “Has God cast away his people?” “And why did he respond so emphatically, “ God forbid!” (Rom. 11:1)
First we must note that this text is written prior to A.D. 70. At that time God had not cast off the Old Covenant nation. However, today, since that ...

Ron Weinland places his reputation on line as
“the end-time prophet” with a prediction that
the year 2008 will see the return of Christ.
About a year ago, I received a personal phone
call from one of Ron’s enthusiasts, urging me
to read his book as it reveals the imminent
end of the U.S. and the U.K., in 2008.
Set your watches, this will be a short wait.
We have approximately 47 days left. Why is
it that these guys want to strike a match
so badly to see the earth burn?
They speak so confidently about world war III,
and the death of 2 billion people who must die
in the war to fulfill ...

6 Comments In seeking to answer the question, Was 1948 the Regathering
of Israel in Bible Prophecy?, it is necessary to gather a bit of
history of Israel.
Israel, the ancient nation of the Bible apostatized during the
days of Jeroboam. After King Solomon’s death, God tore
Israel (the 10 northern tribes) from the house of David.
Their crimes were are follows:
Leaving the commandments of God,
Making a molded image and two calves
Making a wooden image
Worshiping all the host of heaven (sun, moon, stars, etc)
Serving Baal
Child sacrifices
Practicing witchcraft and soothsaying
Selling themselves to do evil provoking God to anger
For these reasons, God was very angry with Israel and removed
them from ...
