Posted on July 26, 2017 by Daniel Silas

Very interesting discovery. Every time a shovel is turned in Israel, Biblical history is confirmed. Article here.

The True Location of the Jewish Temples

Posted on July 24, 2017 by Daniel Silas

Good video (not exhaustive) concerning the true location of the Jewish temples featuring Bob Cornuke. The temples were connected to the City of David. The traditional “Temple Mount” was actually Fort Antonia that housed the Romans.

Like always, man made tradition is believed rather than the Word of Yahuwah. Evidence found in the Bible, archaeology, historical sources, and rabbinical writings all point to the City of David and the Gihon Spring area.

Tormenting Fire, Purifying Fire, or Consuming Fire?

Posted on July 13, 2017 by Daniel Silas

A very interesting look at the doctrine of eternal condemnation and Hell. Is it an endless tormenting fire? Is it a purifying fire? Or is it a consuming fire? Edward Fudge presents information on his position that it is a consuming fire, and that those who reject Christ will be judged and condemned at the Great White Throne judgement. Then they will be cast into a consuming fire where perfect divine justice will be poured out and they will suffer punishment for their sins. Then it will end with the sinner’s utter destruction of body, soul, and spirit. Total annihilation, eternal punishment for their evil and rejection of Christ.

As always, I don’t necessarily agree with everything someone teaches or says. Be like Bereans and search the scriptures. I do think this is a subject we should reexamine. The protestant reformation turned away from the traditions of men and returned to Sola Scriptura (scripture alone) looking to restore the truth of God’s word. Are we holding on to a doctrine of men when it comes to the eternal, unending torment of the sinner?

I really like when he talks about the reformers and that they did as much work as they could do in their life time, but it was up to later generations to continue their work at examining tradition handed down to us by the corrupt Roman Catholic Church.

Another interesting video on the subject here (Doug Batchelor).

The Bible… Our Sufficient Authority

Posted on June 13, 2017 by Daniel Silas

The Bible is the only authority we need. It is the source of the revelation of Yahuwah’s truth, and it contains everything we need in regard to our faith in Jesus Christ. It is clear to me that those who wrote the Bible were moved and inspired by the Holy Spirit to articulate in writing what we need. The Bible is perfect and infallible within its original languages.

Paul writes, “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17 NKJV).

Peter writes, “…for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit” (2 Peter 1:21 NKJV).

Everything humans teach and do in regard to our faith in Christ should be tested against the Bible and what it says. We should always be like the Bereans that searched the scripture to make sure what is being taught is true (Acts 17:11).

No teaching or tradition of fallible man will ever be superior to the Bible, and if fallible man contradicts the clear doctrine of scripture… that man is wrong. That is one reason for the Reformation and the call of sola scriptura! Sadly the Roman Catholic Church was corrupted and still dwells in the darkness of false doctrine.

Below is an excellent Q & A with John Piper in regard to the sufficient authority of the Bible.

The Coming Convergence

Posted on June 8, 2017 by Daniel Silas

“So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors!” – Jesus (Matthew 24:33)

I found the discussion below of the new documentary interesting. Some good points were made, especially in regard to the divide within the church over prophecy.

As YouTube has censored SkywatchTV News and Derek Gilbert, you can find them on Rumble and their website. They have some really great news items, but I will have to try to find new links for these as I get time.

The Pentecost Rapture (Gary Stearman & Jack Langford)

Posted on May 17, 2017 by Daniel Silas

This is an interesting discussion of the Rapture occurring on Pentecost. There are those who also think the Rapture may occur at the Feast of Trumpets. I’m sure it will all make perfect, logical sense when the Rapture does happen, and we’ll understand God’s word perfectly when it comes to pass. :-)
