The Bible does indeed talk about climate change. Since Adam’s sin, the earth has been cursed. Genesis 3:17 (NASB), “…Cursed is the ground because of you…” The climate has gotten worse. However in Isaiah 35:1,2,6,7, we find a promise of good climate change. When [...]

Mark 3:28-30 finds a parallel reference in Matthew 12:31-32 which says, “And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither [...]

The Bible teaches what Jesus Christ’s blood and ransom sacrifice has done and will do for mankind: Guarantees for Adam, and all of his children a resurrection from the dead. John 5:28, “…the hour is coming when all that are in their graves will come [...]
Revelation 22:2 describes “the tree of life” with 12 fruits yielded monthly and with healing leaves. This scene represents a future time when all mankind will be revived to life because of Jesus’ all-atoning sacrifice. People, if willing, will grow in righteousness, after they [...]
There are three scriptures which use the word propitiation (in the King James Version), all of which say that Jesus is the propitiation (not the Holy Spirit) for the sins of the world. Romans 3:24,25 "Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption [...]
Who is the Man of Sin? The Man of Sin is Papacy - the Roman Catholic system and the position of Pope, but not the particular individual in that position. This might seem harsh and judgmental, however, Papacy is a falsifier which sought to [...]

The Genesis 2:1-25 account of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden omits any reference to other cavemen or species of humans. The oneness of the human family is reaffirmed by the Apostle Paul when speaking in Athens; “And [God] hath made of [...]
