Is John Still Alive? | For whatever reason, there are many people in the church who believe that John the Apostle is still alive and Jesus said he would be. | 2026-05-23 |
Proceeds From | Jesus said the Holy Spirit "Proceeds From" the Father. Understanding what he meant by that still causes trouble in the church. | 2026-04-30 |

Hearing and Feeling God | Many people claim to hear the voice of God and feel the presence of God. What does the Bible say about this? Will we know when the Spirit becomes inactive? | 2026-02-16 |
Emotional Arguments | If one person is using logical arguments and the other is using emotional arguments, nothing useful can come of it. This study looks at a video where this situation is at play and how it could have been better. | 2026-02-26 |
Clean and the Christian | In the Old Testament, and specifically the Torah, there is a heavy emphasis on being clean, but in the New Testament there is hardly a mention of it and Christians do not follow those rules. What changed? | 2026-02-22 |
What Was Stephen's Point? | In the story of Stephen, he gives a long-winded history which makes the leaders angry and they kill him. What was the problem with what he said? | 2026-02-18 |
The Law and the Prophets | In many places, the New Testament talks about the Law and the Prophets. What does that mean? The answer is far more complex than you might think. | 2026-02-19 |
A Step Too Far | Even the smallest change is too much for most churches. Their traditions keep them rooted in the ground. | 2026-02-09 |
Application Church | Preachers are taught to provide applications at the end of their sermons. Are these Biblical, beneficial, or harmful? | 2026-02-12 |
153 Fish? | When the resurrected Jesus said, "Cast your net on the other side," were there really 153 great fish in the net? | 2026-02-06 |
Dancing Before the Lord | In the Bible, many people danced, including King David. His dancing caused trouble with his wife, which reflects the problems Christianity has had with dancing. | 2026-01-30 |
Deathbed Conversion | When people are at death's door, is it possible for them to become Christians? Is it fair and just that they would receive eternal life after only hours or days as Christians? | 2026-01-16 |
Questions Faith Does Not Ask | A person who wants questions answered before he can have faith, will never have faith. His faithless questioning can even cause others to doubt and lose faith. | 2026-01-03 |
Lying About Guilt | A YouTube author claims that some guilt does not come from sin and therefore needs to be sent away and ignored. | 2025-12-29 |
He Has Anointed Me | In his hometown of Nazareth, by reading a passage from Isaiah, Jesus tells the people at the synagogue that he was anointed by God. Why are liberals unable to understand what he says? | 2025-12-23 |
The Missing Commandment | Nine of the Ten Commandments are plainly commandments, do this, don't do that. The 4th Commandment isn't like them. Do we really know that commandment? | 2025-12-23 |
We Will Go to a City | James speaks of a hypothetical person saying he will go to a city for a year and earn money. Most people get the basic idea that James is conveying but there is more to pull from it. James also speaks about judging. | 2025-12-20 |
Canada, Christians and Hate Laws | Canada has had hate laws for 30 years. They seriously impacted Christians in the past. Those relented somewhat but the current government is trying to bring them back. | 2025-12-10 |
Jesus Alone Saves | One of the dividing points in the Protestant Reformation was Solus Christus (Only Christ). Even now, the Roman Catholic Church struggles with this. | 2025-11-10 |
The Mystery of the Sandals | At the burning bush, God told Moses to remove his sandals because the ground was holy. Why was there a problem with wearing them? | 2025-12-06 |
The Star of Bethlehem | What was the star of Bethlehem. Many people have made bad guesses. The Bible provides the correct answer. | 2025-12-05 |

2018-01-08 |
Psalm 127 | Psalm 127 is as short as it is cryptic. This study explains what Solomon is saying and the spiritual meaning beneath it. | 2025-11-09 |
Sheep From Another Pen | Jesus said he had sheep that were not from this pen. What did he mean by that? | 2025-11-04 |
Pushing God Around | We would never intentionally try to manipulate God into doing what we want, but we do it sometimes anyway. This study looks at an author who has done that without realizing it. | 2025-11-01 |
Orbiting What? | Some people are "in orbit" around their church instead of being in orbit around God. If the teachings of the their church were the same as God's, it wouldn't matter, but they aren't the same. | 2025-10-08 |
Restricted Women | Some cultures have restrictions on women that contend against the natures of men and women. What could have caused such a disagreeable change? | 2025-10-06 |
Guilt and Thunderbolts | The recent Marvel Thunderbolts movie raises an interesting topic this is a problem for all people, yet they provide no real solution to the problem. What were they thinking? | 2025-10-10 |
Three Views of the Prodigal Son | We look at three different views on the meaning of the parable of The Prodigal Son, the traditional view, the liberal view, and the complete view. | 2025-09-17 |

Who You Listen To | We can't help but hear the voices of people but we must be ready to listen to God's voice. This has been a problem since Adam and Eve. | 2025-09-13 |
Shroud of Turin | The Shroud of Turin is a great embarrassment to Christianity, but few Christians know that. How should Christians think of it? | 2025-08-13 |
Worship in Spirit and Truth | Jesus said a time was coming soon when his people would worship in spirit and truth. Great! What does that mean? | 2025-08-10 |
Three Kinds of Servants | Jesus talked about three kinds of servants in a parable about some of his followers who are not good followers. | 2025-07-19 |
The Narrow Gate | Most people know that Jesus talked about a narrow gate and restricted path, and that he explains it with a parable about the master of the house. This study into what he said finds things most people don't know. | 2025-07-14 |
Children on the New Earth | Isaiah tells us about life on the New Earth, but he also talks about children, old people, and dying. How can that be? | 2025-07-14 |
You Shall Not Be Called Rabbi | Many people do not have the spiritual level of understanding at which Jesus is teaching. This causes them to misunderstand this teaching and others. | 2025-06-29 |
Translators Have Agendas | Many Bible translators have biases, and some have agendas for pushing those biases. These are seen when the Bible speaks on the "hot button" issues of our time, like homosexuality, slavery, and the broad category of feminism. A recent addition to most Bibles is section headers. In this study, we see that these are being used as a tool to advance agendas. But the real question is: who will you choose to be your guide? | 2025-06-10 |
Your Desire Will Be For Your Husband | What does God mean when he says to Eve, "Your Desire Will Be For Your Husband" | 2025-05-29 |
The Guilt Offering | In Judaism, the Old Testament described a sacrifice called the Guilt Offering. Many people have trouble understanding why this other offering for sin existed. This offering still relates to Christians and appears in the New Testament, though it is hard to see. Once we make the connection, we can answer other questions. Why do we sometimes feel guilt, and what should we do about it? | 2025-05-28 |
War in Heaven | Revelation 12 speaks about an angel-on-angel war in Heaven that results in Satan and his angels being kicked out and down to Earth permanently. That's an interesting idea, but in this study, we are more interested in the consequences of that to the Jews and Christians on the earth at that time. The study does a deep dive into that chapter. | 2025-05-22 |
The 40,000-Foot View | In Christianity, many studies are produced that take a very high-level view of God or the Bible, so high that the details are lost, and it becomes disconnected from the Bible. This study looks at examples of these, showing that they have no value. | 2025-04-16 |
So That You May Know | In the New Testament, there are a few places where it says, "So that you may know." In these places, there is an event that people are supposed to see when it happens. This event is to be a sign to them so they will know that something is true. In this study, we look at each of those, what they were to see, and what they were to know from that. | 2025-04-07 |
Division in the Church | Some churches believe that Christians should never say anything that would cause a division within the church. Additionally, they usually say that causing divisions gives Satan a foothold in the church. We can imagine how and why they came to this conclusion, but the idea is not found in the Bible. In fact, sometimes division is necessary. | 2025-03-29 |
Lincoln's Guilt | Lincoln acted on his own desire and without a legal basis when he provoked the Confederates into war. What does the Bible say? | 2025-03-27 |
Who or What is the Snake? | The Genesis account doesn't tell us much directly about the snake that deceived Eve. Because of other verses, most Christians believe Satan was the snake. If they think about how, they probably think he was impersonating a snake, making himself look like a snake. If we look closely at the Genesis verses and some verses about Jesus, there is much more we can learn. | 2025-03-24 |
Eating Blood | Are Christians instructed not to eat blood? Most Christians think they can eat anything. But this was part of the first theological question the Christian church needed to settle. The decision was that they should not do so and neither should they eat food sacrificed to other gods. It seems strange that we should follow these two laws but not the other laws in the Old Covenant. But it does make sense when you understand the background. | 2025-03-20 |
Eating Manna | This detailed look at the Israelites' encounter with Manna shows how they learned to follow God's rules. But despite the daily miracles God performed in providing for them, they were not able to enter the promised land when the time came. Instead, they would wander in the wilderness for 39 more years until that generation had died out. | 2025-03-19 |
Eating Forbidden Fruit | This is a very detailed look at the original sin by Adam and Eve. We start with the right good question and some understanding of their nature, and look at what they mean by what they say, what they must be thinking, what motivates them, and other factors. We do this by asking good questions - likely questions you've never thought of asking - and see if the Bible gives us the information we need to find the answers. | 2025-02-28 |
What Martha Said | After the death of Lazarus, Martha and Jesus have a short conversation about Lazarus and what happens after death. Martha displays a good understanding, but she has some misunderstandings and Jesus addresses these very delicately. She won't likely understand all of what he said until later. | 2025-02-05 |
The Cleansing of the Spirit | The ways in which the Holy Spirit cleans us | 2025-02-02 |
Come Out Of Her, My People | In Revelation, God calls to his people to come out of a woman. Why are these people in this woman? What is this telling us? | 2025-02-01 |
After Death | The After Death study for 2025 focusing on destinations. | 2025-01-08 |
The Best God | Is God the best god in your life? If so, that means there are other gods in your life. Ezekiel says, even if you reject a god, it is still a god to you, and the one true God does not accept that. Any other thing that is a god to others, should be nothing to you. The commandment says there should be no other god in your life. | 2025-01-01 |
Therefore, Your Faith Is Worthless | Paul demonstrates a technique that we all should use. When something new is taught, the listeners must ask what the consequences would be if it was true. Paul applies that to a belief in the Corinthian Church by some that the dead will not be resurrected to life. The consequence of that belief is the complete collapse of Christianity and therefore their faith would be worthless. | 2025-01-01 |
Only Begotten Son | Many translations use the phrase 'Only Begotten Son'. What is meant by that? It turns out the answer involves some history of the church. We also need to understand the nature of Jesus, what the Catholics understand as the nature of Jesus, and we'll look at a little Greek. | 2025-01-01 |
The Nicodemus Teachings | Nicodemus is a teacher of the people, so Jesus expects a lot from him and packs a lot into some teachings that he gives to him. | 2024-12-21 |
You Have Heard … | In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus addresses some bad teachings that have gotten into Judaism. For these 6 items, Jesus begins by saying, "You have heard …". In this study, we look at what people are saying and why and we look at what Jesus says about how they should live. | 2024-11-26 |
The Seat Of Moses | Jesus speaks about the scribes and Pharisees, and says 'They sit in the seat of Moses.' Then Jesus says that what they teach the people, the people must do. What is this seat of Moses and why are they sitting in it? | 2024-11-26 |

| The Continuing Story Of Adam And Eve | The story of Adam and Eve is not about two people that we have nothing in common with. | 2024-03-29 |
Fearless | People deal with fear in many ways but God wants us to be fearless. Even though things happen that could cause us to fear, the Bible says faith and love will keep the fear out of us. The Bible says a lot about fear, as we will see. | 2024-03-24 |
Judges 19 | A deep look into one of the grizzly stories of the Bible. | 2024-03-17 |
| Arguments On Mark 7:19 | Some translations render Mark 7:19 as a declaration by Jesus that all meats are clean. This study argues against that idea. | 2024-02-26 |
| Sometimes Faithfulness Is A Closed Mouth | God may reveal things to us that he doesn't want us to reveal to others | 2024-01-29 |
A Funny Thing Happened on the Road to Feminism | Based on a large number of YouTube videos on this topic, we see that Feminism, plus other factors, have caused an unexpected consequence. Women were told they could have a career, live a sexually free lifestyle, and then get married. Having done that, they are now discovering that men will not marry them. | 2024-01-28 |

Perfect | The Bible uses the word 'Perfect' in 3 ways to refer to believers. Unfortunately, sometimes it uses the different ways within the same context. That can confuse people. This message describes the 3 ways and shows verses that use it in each way. | 2023-10-07 |
Ending The Apostolic Age | The Apostolic Age was an important step in the progression of Christianity. It was very different from the Christianity we know. | 2023-07-24 |
The Biblical View of Reparation for Slavery | Is something due to blacks for slavery? The Bible speaks both on the crime and the path to reparation. | 2023-07-15 |

Then we will use two techniques to understand the unclear parts. Then we will look at each of the Beatitudes. | 2023-04-18 |
Where Is God In Esther | Answering the question: why is God never mentioned in the book of Esther? | 2023-03-24 |
Euphrates - Dried Up | Revelation talks about the Euphrates in two places. In this second place it refers to the great river drying up, which it is currently doing. In this study we see that this occurs by God's will so that his enemies can be gathered together to unwelcome Jesus at his arrival. | 2023-03-12 |
Euphrates - Breaking Out | Revelation talks about the Euphrates in two places. In this first place it is a metaphor for something breaking out. | 2023-03-12 |

The Sixth Seal | The Sixth Seal from Revelation provides the background to understanding other things that will be going on at the time. These events are the kick-off for the end of the end-times. They also have consequences that we see appear later in Revelation. Paul and Jesus both spoke about these. | 2022-07-26 |
Why Are These Things Never Clear? | Is there a reason why prophecy has to be so confoundingly symbolic and hard to understand? Why can't it be simple? | 2022-07-17 |
Yoked | The word 'yoked' is used many times in the Bible. For the people of Bible times, it was a part of their daily life. It isn't part of our daily lives though. We don't fully understand it.
