Who Killed Enoch? - May 15, 2023

How did Enoch die? The Bible may have an answer. Hebrews 11:13 says Enoch died. Genesis 5:22 shows Enoch lived 365 years while his contemporaries lived seven, eight, or nine centuries. But Enoch "was not; for God took him" (Genesis 5:24). He was "taken" before most people were "gathered to their fathers." Enoch's death happened when he was comparatively young.

Gentile Christians And The Law - May 1, 2023

One early decision made by the apostles concerned circumcision for the Gentiles. Clearly the Gentiles could be in covenant relationship with God without being circumcised. The apostle Paul said Gentiles could keep the essentials of God? law without observing circumcision, Sabbaths, holydays, or any ceremonial laws.
 

The Truth Shall Make You Free - April 15, 2023

One of the last statements made by Christ before the Roman authorities crucified Him concerned the matter of truth. This Commentary discusses what is truth.
 

Our Future Realm - April 1, 2023

The March 2023 article "Your Resurrection" and this month's April 2023 article "The Use and Abuse of the Holy Scriptures," both have information about the Mystery. In this Commentary I focus on a tremendous reward we can receive (1) if God chooses for us to receive it, and (2) if we want to receive it.
 

Comfort and Peace from God - March 15, 2023

When I was young attending the Lutheran church with my family, . The service ended with a benediction calling on God to bless the congregation. The blessing spoke about God giving comfort and peace to those who honor Him. The reality of that comfort and that peace will be greater than we can imagine.
 

They Hate You And Want You Dead - March 1, 2023

There are beings God created who literally hate you and want you dead NOW, if they could have their way. They hate you for one reason only, because you believe in Christ's resurrection from the dead. Why do they want you dead? Because you are a living example of a human being's trust in God to resurrect you from the dead. And, you are a direct threat to their power and rule in this present eon.
 

Abraham's Faith in God's Resurrection Power - February 14, 2023

The Bible singles out Abraham as a unique individual. Though he was a mere human being and experienced every temptation common to us, God made an outstanding choice in selecting this man for a special role. He was chosen to become "the father of all them that believe." This Commentary explains why.
 

What Were They Thinking? - February 1, 2023

I give two examples that God or His supernatural servants were openly visible to thousands (perhaps millions) of pre-flood people for many centuries. Later a supernatural wonder was visible to Israelites for many decades.
 

A Contradiction in First John? - January 15, 2023

Question: Can you please help me figure out a contradiction between 1 John 3:9 and 1 John 1:8?0? Answer: What is going on in these passages regarding sin?
 

Coronavirus, Babylon, and the Great Reset - January 1, 2023

This month's article is titled "Disease Epidemics and Bible Prophecy." Read first the information in the "January 2023 Newsletter." Most mentions of plague, pestilence, and epidemics in Scripture indicate they are caused by God as punishment upon mankind. Today we cannot know if any plagues, pestilences, and epidemics soon to occur are directly from God. Certainly plagues are not blessings.
