THE CLEANSING MAINTAINED. If our escape from sin and its condemnation is by a ransom for Adam’s sin, What shall we conclude concerning errors, omissions and transgressions now committed by those who have escaped and who have been JUSTIFIED from Adamic sin? Would not the least sin on our part bring us again under condemnation? And would not this require another sin-offering to ransom us afresh and enable us to again /escape from condemnation? The lack of a reasonable answer to these reasonable questions has confused many on...

Our Escape from the Condemnation on the World, Part 2

ESCAPE FROM CONDEMNATION. We got into condemnation without our choice, but cannot get out of it without our choice, but the conditions for escape are so simple and easy that all shall be without excuse. It is simply “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.” But to believe on him means more than at first appears, perhaps. It does not mean that men shall simply believe that such a man lived and died, nor even that, in addition, he rose again...

FAITH AND WORKS. The relationship between faith and works is simple and clear when seen from a scriptural standpoint, yet very obscurely recognized by the great majority. Works can never justify us, nor so long as we are under the imperfections resultant from sin can God recognize works at all. He is perfect, and cannot accept or enjoy that which is imperfect. Since of the Adamic race there are none righteous, no not one, it follows that Jesus’ works only are well pleasing and acceptable to...

WHO IS WORTHY? Part 2

sickleharvest — Sat, 18 Jan 2025 14:23:25 +0000

The following is the most important aspect I found here in this discourse, as many, myself included have fallen prey to it, and more than once. But “let him that thinketh he stands take heed lest he fall;” for sudden and sharp will be many of the tests applied to prove our continued faithfulness. The world, the flesh and the devil all conspire to allure, ensnare and overcome us. The world will present its allurements through friends or wife or...

In the visions of the Apocalypse (Revelation) we read of a wonderful scroll in the right hand of the great King who sits upon the throne of universal dominion. This scroll is a forceful representation of the divine plan, originally existing only in the mind of God, and which could not be made known to men until someone was found worthy to open the seals and display it to view. But “no one in heaven nor in earth was able...

“ARE THERE FEW THAT BE SAVED?”, Part 2

Let us now consider our previous question, viz., Why should God continue his blessings, of which life is the chief, to those who after knowing and being enabled to conform to his just requirements, will not do so? It is just: because God is under no obligation to man. Man is already his debtor ten thousand times; and if he will not render loving respect to his Creator’s wise and good commands, Justice would demand that those blessings be stopped....

Emerging from that blackness of error called Calvinism (with its heaven of blessing for the “little flock” and its eternal torment for all others, as taught by good but sadly deceived men – John Calvin, Jonathan Edwards, Charles H. Spurgeon and others – ) into the glorious light of the goodness of God, shining in the face of Jesus Christ our Lord and revealed in the divine Plan of the Ages, the writer was subjected to the same attacks of...

THE PAROUSIA (PRESENCE) OF OUR LORD JESUS, Part 18

What about the 120 years? 120 years prior to the flood the Lord warned Noah that the present age of mankind had but 120 years remaining before He would destroy them from the face of the earth (Gen 6:13). Noah then immediately commenced to warn his contemporaries of this impending judgement; however, the majority chose to ignore him while others mocked and jeer him. Now it has been surmised that as the Lord gave a warning previous to the destruction of the “heavens and earth” which existed...

The following we add as a supplement to this study as it coincides with our study here. It was taken from our study on Matthew Chapter 24, “The Lord’s Great Prophecy” We would like here to present a bit more insight in regards to the “watches” mentioned in Luke 12:38, which we hope might aid some to a better appreciation of what was being referred to there. We should also like to take another look at the time similarity between the 120...

“THEY WITHOUT US SHALL NOT BE MADE PERFECT.” – Heb 11:40. – We remark, incidentally, that following the gathering of the Church to glory, as above outlined, will come the resurrection of the holy ones of the past, – “Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and all the holy prophets,” whose resurrection will be to perfect earthly conditions, and who shall be the “princes in all the earth,” seen of men, and representatives of the invisible but all-powerful spiritual Kingdom – the glorified Christ. Thus,...
