Jesus in the Old Testament
The Hebrew people at the time Yeshua Hamashiach was living on earth couldn’t seem to comprehend the idea of their God being trinitarian even though it was very plainly prophesied in the canon they had at the time. They also couldn’t seem to grasp the idea that God would die so that we sinners could…

Bible Study (The Holy Trinity)
This is a subject that is debated by many people. I hope that I can clarify my faith for any who doubt! The Holy Trinity is not the exact phrase used in the Bible because it is a more modernized term. Instead, the canon uses the Hebrew word echad. Deuteronomy 6:4 and Mark 12:29 are…

Some questions I am often asked by nonbelievers: I’m sure these are all questions we’ve all thought of at some point and they are reasonable things to wonder. We can’t know everything, but there are some things we have to accept as unanswered. But there are some answers to those questions. In many cases, pain…

Prayer 2/12/24
It’s been a while since I’ve done a prayer post, and in these darkening days, we could all really use one. To my readers: if this resonates with you, pray this with me. It says in scripture that if two or more are gathered in prayer then it will be done by our Heavenly Father,…

Bible Study (Fire)
Fire is a word and topic that is mentioned four-hundred seventy-four times in the Bible. The Lord’s Holy Spirit is often called an all consuming fire. The Lord leads us with and through the fire. He refines us, shapes us, and disciplines us with fire. There are many examples of it within scripture and it’s…
