Faithful Writers

How many pounds of marijuana does a Bible translator have to smoke to get to the translation “the first day”? It is a colossal error to translate this into “first day of the week."

I believe we must eliminate those Greek scholars from the field who learned to translate μια των σαββατων from others who told them that σαββατον meant “week” based on Church tradition.

Well, how about the Protestant world? Well, hold onto your horses Bucko because in this post, I’m gonna provide some insightful quotes from the world of Protestant scholarship and then I’m going to close this series of articles on the Sabbath.

Lest I be misunderstood, I would like to point out that I am NOT worshipping wealth or the acquisition of wealth. My point is to urge you NOT to waste your God-given talents. Use them to create massive value and contribute to society.

The point here is that life itself comes from outside of our four-dimensional universe and can only originate from God. In this day and age, we have evolutionists and other scientists trying to prove we can take things that are not living, and given enough time (billions and billions of years they say) and the right set of circumstances life can somehow spontaneously erupt minus any divine intervention.

Here is something you probably haven’t heard your pastor ever talk about. However, it is a pattern that is repeated throughout the Scriptures. The direction East has great spiritual significance and is always associated with holiness.

I think this is a post that wives, actually all women, whether married or not, are going to enjoy.

Now am I saying that you should deliberately avoid all social situations or relationships with other singles? Of course not. What I’m saying is don’t be frantic and frazzled.

So the rabbis suggest that the serpent in the garden was actually satan’s attempt to mimic God by creating counterfeit life.

If before eating the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, there was no sin in the world and Adam and Eve did not have sin natures, how did Eve have the potential to sin in the first place by eating from the tree?

The reason is that if Adam and Eve hadn’t been infected with sin, they wouldn’t have had the capability to sin in the first place.

I once heard a pastor say something quite profound and quite accurate. He pointed out that there are ONLY two religions in the world. One is that man is or can become God. The other one is that ONLY God is God.

Two very important principles are established here. First, man of his own devisings cannot save himself. Second, the only suitable payment for sin is the shedding of innocent blood.

It is only because the Messiah has come and gone that we can now recognize the prophetic nature of these and other verses in Scripture. We tend to look down on the early Hebrews for being ignorant and not recognizing or paying heed to God’s prophetic statements.
