We Are in the World, But Not Of It
Genesis 1 tells us that in the beginning God made the sky, land & seas. He brought forth regenerative vegetation on the land & put the sun, moon & stars in the sky to light the land. He filled the sky, land & seas with regenerative living beings. And then He brought forth a Son (also known as Man), to inhabit this world. And He anointed that Son with authority, power & dominion to rule in righteousness, and thereby experience perpetual life on the land. God has provided all of us with what we need to physically live in this world made by Him. However, most people in this modern…

Why Did the Officers Go Backward & Fall to the Ground?
When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples. And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples. Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons. Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.…

Coming out of Egypt
I’ve been wanting to do a post on this for a while, and even a video, but I just don’t have the time right now. This will have to do… (I think he did a better job than I would have done.)

Finally Answering the Call
Okay, maybe I’m a little late, but I’ve been debating back and forth with myself over the past year as to how to best carry out my calling at this moment in time. It seems the phone has been ringing for a while now, and I feel a sense of urgency welling up within me to answer it already. I believe those who have wakened in the last year either to the wicked agenda of the powers-that-be, or to the realization that the powers-that-be shouldn’t even be, are likely going to need a bit of direction going forward. And, I believe, there are those who may have already been awake…

How Can Jesus Be Perfect If He’s Begotten of Joseph?
In a recent post on the Facebook Group, Intense Biblical Discussions, someone asked in response to those, like myself, who claim Joseph to be the biological father of Jesus, How do 2 imperfect people produce perfect offspring? To which I responded, What is considered perfect offspring? The poster’s initial response was, without sin..1 peter 2: 22. My reply: Consider the context…“For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself…

Who is the God of the Bible?
God is typically painted in a religious light, meaning He is usually defined by those who worship & serve Him. For example, the “God” of Israel, or more specifically, the God “of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob”, is defined for us primarily by the Old Testament or the Tanakh, written by men who worshipped & sought to serve Him. But then, the God “of the Jews” is further defined by the traditions of the elders and rabbinical teachings, in the religion called “Judaism”. And in the view “of the believers of Jesus Christ”, God is defined further still through the writings of the New Testament, coupled with the traditions & teachings…

Matthew 1, Isaiah 7 and Emmanuel
Immediately preceding the quote of Isaiah 7:14 in the first chapter of Matthew, the author relays the words of the messenger to Joseph saying, And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Matthew 1:21 Most understand the author’s mention of “she shall bring forth a son” and the fact that the child shall be called a name as being the spark that ignites the reference to the words in Isaiah 7:14. Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is,…

Joseph is the Star of Matthew 1
Modern Christianity makes Mary, who they identify as the Virgin Mary, the star of Matthew 1. However, while Mary may have been a leading lady of all the other females mentioned in that chapter, she is only a supporting figure to the star of that chapter, which to any objective viewer is Joseph. Mary is simply described to the reader. However, it is Joseph’s genealogy that is being laid out in verses 2-16, not Mary’s. And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. Matthew 1:16 And it is a scene from Joseph’s life that is being highlighted — his thoughts expressed,…

Obedience & the Authority of Men
The idea that obedience to all authority is automatically deemed righteous is disturbing to me because it relinquishes the responsibility for each person from having to discern right from wrong and choosing to do that which is right — instead, he/she just simply obeys and passes the buck of responsibility for discernment to someone else. When it’s a matter of obeying God, the Maker of us all, who knows & understands all, being supreme in all wisdom and established the order by which righteousness is determined, then by all means we are to obey Him. But when it comes to obeying men, who are not always righteous in their behavior,…

Homesteading: Living in the Kingdom of God
For several years the Kingdom of God has been heavy on my mind, and I have struggled with how to present my thoughts on what that entails in the here and now at this website. But the bottom line is I believe the Kingdom of God is the Heaven and the Land. And mankind has been designated to live on the land. Lately, homesteading has primarily been on my mind. Especially, given all that is happening in the man-made world, which I commonly refer to as the System, these days. I’ve found myself retreating even further from the System, having recently paid off our home mortgage, and embracing more fully…
