Give these instructions to the church. 1 Ti 5:7 through 16.

Posted on 11/03/2020 by remso

When we finished 1 Timothy 5:6 we were given these instructions. Ignore the fact that it seems to speak only to widows because it does not. But the widow who lives only for pleasure is spiritually dead even while she … Continue reading →

This is my response to a Christian brother, on his post, “Why the Antichrist is not a Muslim.”

Posted on 09/21/2020 by remso

It is not clear to me how or why the brother picked this topic, but I happen to believe that the Antichrist will be Islamic and not a Roman, as so many adhere to. You opened by saying, “Obadiah, among … Continue reading →
