Galatians 4:3-5, 7, 9 (CSB), “…we also,…were in slavery under the elements of the world. When the time came to completion, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons….So you are no longer a slave but a [...]
“This is what the LORD says: "Do not learn the ways of the nations…for the practices of the peoples are worthless; they cut a tree out of the forest, and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel. They adorn it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so it will not [...]
The book of Exodus records that the whole nation of Israel was living in bondage under the Egyptians. Israel’s liberation came from God through the leadership of Moses. Because they had never existed as a free, self-governing nation, it was necessary that they receive and apply instruction before they entered the land of promise. Therefore, [...]
God reveals Himself through the Bible and nature. God is a spirit being with unlimited abilities, who has existed from eternity past and will exist for eternity future. What He has revealed to us is what we, as mere mortals, are capable of understanding. He does encourage us to “come and reason together.” (Isaiah 1:18) [...]

Jesus didn’t go anywhere when he died. He was dead in the tomb. We read in Isaiah’s prophecy that Jesus “poured out His soul unto death,” that His soul was made “an offering for sin.” (Isaiah 53:12, 10.) Then again we read, “Thou wilt not leave my soul in Sheol [meaning the grave (sometimes mistranslated [...]
All knowledge belongs to God. But God is not directing this present evil world. [See Galatians 1:4 (KJV), "Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father..."] So, how is mankind getting so much knowledge? Jesus is bringing knowledge [...]
In the book of Hebrews, the Apostle Paul interpreted the sacrifices of Leviticus. Hebrews 10:1(NASB), “For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year, make perfect those who draw [...]
God acts on the principles which define His very character: justice, love, power, and wisdom. The Psalmist says in Psalm 89:14 “Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face”. The foundation of God’s law is justice. Justice operates with mercy, but justice must also be met. [...]
