Right Applications of Matthew 5:17-20 and Wrong Ones (Part Three)
Part One Part Two Jesus Is Scriptural Everything that Jesus said in His sermon from Matthew 5:1 to 5:16 was a scriptural concept. Nothing Jesus taught contradicted God’s Word. Jesus is God. On the other hand, the religious leaders in Israel were “making the word of God of none effect through [their] tradition” (Mark […]
Right Applications of Matthew 5:17-20 and Wrong Ones (Part Two)
Part One Jesus came to elevate scripture, not overthrow it. The scribes and Pharisees had devalued actual scripture for their own traditions. The religious leaders thereby made themselves the standard of righteousness. They were not God’s light, glorifying Him by shining in a dark world. Heaven and Earth Passing Away and Not His Words Not […]
Messianic Israel / Jew Evangelistic T-Shirt: Shema & Isa 53
God loves Israel! He loves Israel far more than did the Apostle Paul, who wrote under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit: 1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, 2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. 3 […]
Israel & Hamas: Just War vs. Pure Evil & the United States

The Doctrine of Inspiration of Scripture and Translation (Part Three)
Part One Part Two Statements for Consideration Consider these three statements: The King James Version is divinely inspired. God immediately inspired the King James Version. God gave the King James Version by inspiration. Do all three have the same meaning? Are all three true? If not all three are true, then is any one […]
Shaping a Jesus In Your Own Image and then Believing in Him for Salvation
Contrasting Christianity Have you talked in public to an evangelical woman with a cross hanging down into her revealed cleavage? You see the cross juxtapositioned with the other as a backdrop. Not a fit, is it? Maybe you, like me, wonder about the vast differences in professing Christianity. They both claim to believe in Jesus […]
The Law Enhances, Does Not Conflict, With Grace
Relationship Between the Law and Grace or Faith In Galatians, the Apostle Paul argues for salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. He opposes the alternative, adding even one work to grace. Paul provides several arguments in Galatians 3 for the churches of Galatia to combat corruption of a true gospel. To […]
Almost All Historians Get History Wrong
Habakkuk as a Paradigm In the first four verses of the book of Habakkuk, the prophet questions God, “Why does He permit evil in Judah?” God answered Habakkuk in verses five through eleven by saying, “I am raising up Babylon to chastise Judah.” Habakkuk wanted Judah punished for her sin. How could God use Babylon, […]
John the Baptist and the Lord Jesus and Sending Authority in Matthew 3
Paraginomai Versus Ginomai The Greek verb paraginomai appears only three times in Matthew, an intense or emphatic form of a common verb, ginomai. All three occur in Matthew 2 and 3: 2:1, “Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the […]
