Dear J____,
You asked about the truths Paul stated in his letter to the Romans. You used the phrase in so far as his letters are of particular concern to us, the Gentiles of the nations… Eph 2:11 says we were Gentiles and verse 12, we were aliens from the commonwealth of Israel. Then verse ... [read more]

On Being a Good Wife
I have noted throughout the years that when visiting other women or being with them when their cell phones ring, that too often I can guess if the person calling is their husband. I would like to say it is because their voice softens, and a smile appears on their face. But no, ... [read more]

What is Grace and Its Purpose?
[Posted July 6, 2006]
Understanding grace is only for those who "Do His will" (Joh 7:17). What sometimes comes up missing in the teaching of the doctrine of grace is the understanding that is imparted to us in Titus 2:11 and 12. Grace teaches [paideuo, Strong's #381... [read more]

Paul points out to Philemon: …perhaps he [ Onesimus, Philemon's rebellious, runaway servant] departed for a season, that you [ Philemon] should receive him forever; not now as a servant [ a slave, a nepios, an infant that "differs nothing from a slave" (Gal 4:1)] but above a servant, a brothe...

Look at this verse:
Joh 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
Now according to what "the many" teach, Christ completely left out a very important "person" in this stateme... [read more]
