- Does Jesus"€™ Baptism Condemn You?
By: Denny Smith | - Does baptism matter? Most Americans have come to the conclusion that it does not, a person can be saved and go to heaven baptized or not. It is such a settled conviction with most that they are not willing to give the study of the topic the time of day. It is ridiculous to even consider it as they see it. Only the spiritually blinded, only the cult faction, could think otherwise from their point of view.
It seems to me this is taking the same attitude the Pharisees took back in ...

- The Death Of John The Baptist A Sermon On Mark 6:14-29
By: David B. Smith | - When his daughter Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests; and the king said to the girl, "Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it." And he solemnly swore to her, "Whatever you ask me, I will give you, even half of my kingdom." She went out and said to her mother, "What should I ask for?" She replied, "The head of John the baptizer." (Mark 6:23-24)
We had a baptism this morning, and I think if you'd searched through the Bible for the most inappropriate Gosp ...

- Fetus: I Hope He Changes His Mind
By: Rev Michael Bresciani | - The question is rhetorical. Obviously liberally minded Americans think Obamas policies are all just peachy keen and conservative Americans are trying to hold back the urge to regurgitate. Pragmatically speaking, if we could suspend the question of right and wrong, is the unborn child any safer? Liberal or conservative, there is no choice here; the answer is an unequivocal no.

- The Promise Fulfilled
By: Jerry Richard Boone | - John the Baptist
In A.D. 26, a prophet named John, who we know as John the Baptist, began preaching in the Desert of Judah, "Repent for the kingdom of heaven is near." (Matthew 3:1-2) Quoting the words of Isaiah he said: "A voice of one calling in the desert, 'Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.' " (Matthew 3:3)

Later on in that same year, another young man (about thirty years old) began teaching in ...

- Is There More Than One Gospel In The Bible?
By: Corey Richardson | - Many Bible students assume that the word "gospel" refers to the same message each time it is used throughout the Bible. If that is so, why would the Bible use so many different titles for the same message? For instance:
Gospel of the Kingdom (Matt 4:23 KJV)
Gospel of the Grace of God (Eph 2:8-9 KJV)
Everlasting Gospel (Rev. 14:6 KJV)
The word "gospel" simply means "good news." While all of God's good news centers in the person of the ...

- When Religion Fails In America - Prophecy Will Not
By: Rev Michael Bresciani | - In America secular forces are actively trying to give Christianity the boot. Day by day trusted biblical precepts are being scoffed at, openly ignored and actively fought against.
America chooses to ignore its foundations in the bible while Europe is rising on the world's stage as a super power with no anchor, allusion or claim to any religion but secularism. What is the end of all this and where will it lead?

- Da Vinci's Last Home - Chateau Du Clos Luce In France's Magnificent Loire Valley
By: Corina Clemence | - Chateau du Clos Luce is where Leonard de Vinci spent the last three years of his life. King Francois I invited Leonardo da Vinci and he bestowed on him an annual pension of 700 golden crowns and gifted him Chateau du Clos Luce.
The King encouraged discussion, experimentation and much thought at Clos Luce. In this pretty chateau, he happily continued to paint, sketch, and work as an architect, engineer and festival organizer for the court. Francois I found great pleasure in listen ...

- Believers Die Well
By: Gary Kurz | - "Take him and give no heed to what he may say" barked the Centurion to several soldiers as he pointed to the blessed Polycarpus, Bishop of Smyrna. His words were not a warning to expect the beloved Pastor to talk his way out of the charges, but rather an urging to the soldiers to not receive the things of Christ that he would undoubtedly speak to them as they led him away under arrest.
Revelation chapter 2 foretold of the day when the leadership of this faithful church at Smyrna ...

- Restoration Of The Church
By: Jerry Richard Boone | - Back-to-the-Bible Movement
During the later part of the eighteenth and early nineteenth century, a number of church congregations decided that creeds, regardless of whoever wrote them and whatever form they take, are divisive and not in accord with the teachings of the New Testament. They sought to end their denominational ties and become mere Christians with no separating labels.
Why should we base the church exclusively on the New Testament? Jesus chose fro ...

- Sins Against People
By: Jerry Richard Boone | - What difference does it make whether we keep the Golden Rule? The difference between heaven and hell, says Jesus. Should we ignore his advice? or listen to what he has to say?
"An expert in the law tested him with this question: 'Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?'

- Jesus, In His Own Words.
By: Larry Hilliard | - All philosophical, theological and political discourse issues from a presuppositional matrix. The communicator's ideas are characterized, influenced and motivated by a preexisting corpus of antecedent beliefs. I commence with the presupposition that Jesus understood perfectly and clearly who he was. His auto-noetic frame was accurate and complete. From such a substratum his ipsissima verba would proceed. Filtered through an Occidental mindset, in particular, a pragmatic philosophy, the words of ...

- Mudras & Hand Symbolism: Mudras Of The Esoteric Christian Tradition Part 1
By: Luxamore | - All religions without exception have their roots in the Spiritual Hierarchy of the Great White Brotherhood (GWB), although some have strayed afar from the original teachings of their messengers and founders and the purposes of their establishment. Fortunately, in every religion there is an esoteric side perpetuated by the Initiates of the GWB. We will not discuss the Great White Brotherhood in detail here, those who are interested in acquiring more information may refer to the many metaphysical ...

- Glimpses Of Esoteric Christianity Part 4
By: Luxamore | - Reincarnation
Everything in this universe is in motion. Movement produces change, or transformation. This is an eternal constant, a Law of the Cosmos, and it is immutable. The process of transformation occurs in stages, phases, and cycles. Every unit of life unfolds its consciousness in accord with the Law of Activity and Rest. The cycle of activity begins with birth, youth, maturity; it declines with old age and ends with so-called death, which is the period of Rest. The cycle co ...

- Christian Virtues
By: Jerry Richard Boone | - Are Christian virtues just for sissies, wimps, and other losers? Or are they the most reasonable way for all of us to live? Let's check it out.
Jesus is the embodiment of virtue. He's our example. We are to become "little Christs" imitating what he did. He wants to make us over until we are perfect. Following Christ's lead, these are the virtues we are to embrace: charity, courage, faith, humility, justice, knowledge, wisdom, obedience, perseverance, faithfulness, prudence, and ...

- Jesus: Legendary Hero Or Real Man?
By: Jerry Richard Boone | - Surely, it's the most extraordinary story ever told. Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God, came to earth and sacrificed himself so that we mortals might have eternal life. Yes, an extraordinary story, but is it fact? or fiction? One compelling bit of evidence strongly suggests it is indeed a fact. Even so, you will never hear it mentioned in a church!
Say you were examining an old manuscript and wanted to determine whether the story was fact or fiction, what should you look for? Scho ...

- The Gospels As Literature: Fiction? Or Non-fiction?
By: Jerry Richard Boone | - The Gospels are, among other things, a certain type of literature. The question is: What type? Do they display the tell-tale characteristics of fiction, or do they have more of the nitty gritty feel of reality?
Gospel of John
The Gospel of John has a number of personal eyewitness touches such as recalling the fragrance of Mary's pure nard perfume which she poured on Jesus' feet in the house at Bethany. And then there is the episode of Jesus writing in the dust with ...

- Churches And Chapels In Alcacer Do Sal, Alentejo, Portugal
By: Bert Snijder | - Heading south of Setubal, leaving the riverbanks and fishing areas we enter into a different region: the Alentejo.
Alcacer do Sal had an important role during the Roman occupation and remains of these are still evident today. Under Roman rule, Alcacer became the economic and political seat of Alentejo.
It coined its own money and had the same rights as municipalities of ancient Licio. During the Visigoth period, Alcacer do Sal was an episcopalian city and under Ar ...

- The Tears Of God
By: Gary Kurz | - John 11:35 - "Jesus wept"
This is perhaps the oddest passage of scripture you will find in the New Testament. There may be other passages that confuse you or that you do not fully understand, but this certainly could be the oddest.
I do not mean to be irreverent with this label. I am confident that when you hear my whole case, you will agree that I have not been. I merely want to emphasize the disparity of thought created by these two simple words when consideri ...

- Patron Christian Saints Of Dogs
By: Lynda Long | - I have always loved animals-primarily dogs. I have had four dogs in my life and each of
them brought a different strength to my life...not to even mention the unconditional love.
If humans were like dogs, the world would be a much better place.
With that in mind, I began wondering if dogs had guardian angels looking over them.
While I was always sure that they did, I wanted to know if there were any Saints, as
recognized by the Catholic Church that p ...

- Ancient Biblical Grape Juice And Wine Drinkers, Raisin Eaters And Teetotalers (part 2) Scriptures
By: Pat Malcolm | - There were anointed men of the Bible who took an oath; that they would not drink wine or eat or drink any of the products of a grapevine, including fresh grapes, raisins (dried grapes), grape seed, grape skins, or grape juice. This cult of Jews was called Nazirites, that included Aaron, the brother of Moses, his priest descendants; Samson, the Judge; and John the Baptist. The Scriptures suggest there were other temporary Nazirites, such as the Apostle, Paul, and others.
