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, [...]
Why is it that so many Christians do not see the connection between faith and works?
We believe that one reason for the “disconnect” you spoke of may be the element of sacrifice that “works” involves. It is far easier to believe that faith alone is all that is needed in order to enter heaven.

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 [...]
What does the scripture mean “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures [eagles] will gather.” (Matthew 24:28)?
In Matthew 24 and Luke 17:20-36 Jesus tells his disciples what the signs would be of his second presence. He tells them that the end times would be similar to the days of Noah when people were eating, drinking and marrying up until Noah entered the ark (Luke 17: 26-27). In verse 34 of Luke 17 [...]
