He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire. Matthew 311-13.

Posted on 05/06/2023 by remso

I ask this question as I think about the thief on the cross. How many baptisms are we supposed to endure? That came off rather pessimistically and I have experienced far too much religious tradition, but it’s a rhetorical question anyway … Continue reading →

One of the frequent discussions I hear centers on this phrase, “as it was in the days of Noah.”

Posted on 04/24/2023 by remso

One of the frequent discussions I hear centers on this phrase, “as it was in the days of Noah.” This comes from Luke 17:26, where it says, “And [just] as it was in the days of Noah, so will it … Continue reading →

Things that puzzle and provoke me. Matthew 3:9-12.

Posted on 04/16/2023 by remso

In the previous post on Matthew 3, we touched on verses 9 – 12, but as I look at these verses again, I see things that provoke and puzzle me. For example: “And do not presume to say to yourselves, … Continue reading →

All the region were going out to him, and they were baptized, confessing their sins. Matthew 3:4-12.

Posted on 04/09/2023 by remso

I am a big fan of the series The Chosen. If you were to ask why, I would tell you that even though we have limited information to define the events we see on screen, there is enough information in scripture to validate … Continue reading →

A voice cries out in the desert: “Clear a way for the LORD.” Matthew 31-3.

Posted on 04/02/2023 by remso

Matthew chapter three opens with a fast-forward of about 25 years. The headline from the Berean Study Bible (and most of them say the same thing) reads: “John the Baptist Prepares the Way” “And in those days John the Immerser … Continue reading →

He will be called a Nazarite. Matthew 2:18-23.

Posted on 03/28/2023 by remso

We ended our last dive into Matthew’s gospel with Matthew 2:16. So let’s see what we can come up with after recapping the last verse. This will give us a foundation for the following few verses. “When Herod saw that he had … Continue reading →

The Magi, what did they want, and why were they demanding answers from Herod?

I cannot remember how we got to this point, but something got said about hell.

Posted on 03/23/2023 by remso

I know many who believe God has already thrown people into hell, but that has NOT happened yet, and, in general, it will NOT happen until the great throne event at the end of the thousand-year reign of Christ. Why do … Continue reading →

She ran back to the bar and the horrid life she left behind. Yes, there are many things in The Chosen, that are not spelled out in scripture.

Posted on 03/20/2023 by remso

When I made the first post in 2014, I did it under protest. Having had experience with Pastor Rick Warren and his 40 days of purpose books, I wanted nothing to do with this, and the small men’s Bible study … Continue reading →
