Are Christians allowed to drink water when they fast?
When we look at the three Gospel accounts (Matthew 4:1-11, Mark 1:12-13, and Luke 4:1-13) of Jesus’ 40-day fast, nothing is said regarding whether Jesus drank water or not. Luke 4:2 specifically says, “He ate nothing during those days and at the end of them he was hungry.” There is no reference to the drinking [...]
Is there any relationship between the giant Goliath (1 Samuel 17) and the progeny of the fallen angels mentioned in Genesis 6?
The scriptures do not actually tell us if Goliath had six fingers and six toes. We learn much later in another war the Philistines had with Israel (2 Samuel 21:15-22 and 1 Chronicles 20:4-8) that there was “a man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, [...]

Where did Enoch and Elijah go since flesh and blood cannot enter heaven?
Reading the biblical accounts of Enoch, Moses and Elijah can leave us with more questions than answers. Their lives were remarkable, and the endings of their earthly journeys are wrapped in mystery. Because of this, many assume they must have been taken to heaven to be with God. But when we carefully examine Scripture—and allow [...]
Will the world end in 2017?
Honestly, although we have heard of many dates predicting the end of this present evil world, we had not heard of this particular one, so we looked on the Internet and found out where it came from. It comes from the “Sword of God Brotherhood.” Little is known of this group. What we gleaned is that [...]
