Posted on 08/05/2020 by

Paul, as we have come to recognize, opens with a greeting, however, according to J.Vernon McGee, this greeting is different. Here is an example of one of Paul’s typical greetings. Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but … Continue reading →

The Coming Antichrist and the rapture of the church. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-10

Posted on 06/24/2020 by

Chapter one I had recently written, once again, a study on 2 Thessalonians 2:1-10, and thought I did a fairly good job of making my point, that the rapture comes first and then Antichrist arrives, along with God’s wrath, but … Continue reading →

Paul’s plan to visit the church in Rome. Romans 15:22-33

Posted on 04/17/2020 by

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1

Posted on 04/13/2020 by

This idea of confessing, as though it was a continual act of slaughtering a lamb for your sins, does not change God’s heart toward you. 1 John 1:9 NASB says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Continue reading →

Paul tells us why Romans 8:1 works. Romans 8:2-4.

Posted on 04/13/2020 by

We learned in Romans 8:1 that there is NOW (an ever-present tense) NO condemnation. To me, an obvious conclusion is that this applies to my relationship with the Father through Jesus Christ. So what does Romans 8:2 tell us? For … Continue reading →

Posted on 04/12/2020 by
