If I be lifted up, I will gently woo?
<p> Some think that simply praising Jesus will bring people into the kingdom. Yep. Just lift up Jesus’ name and He will serenade the lost with a touching rendition of “Kum Ba Yah”. But is that what the text really says? Join me for a up-close look at several words that really define what Yeshua … <a href="https://victorynow2020.wordpress.com/2017/08/14/if-i-be-lifted-up-i-will-gently-woo/" class="more-link">Cont...

What the Early Church Fathers believed about the 2nd Coming. Their words.
<p>early preterists The viewpoint that Jesus’ ‘Second Coming’ was experienced in 70 a.d. is one that is rapidly gaining exposure and positive consideration in the Church. However, opponents to this orthodox doctrine insist that preterism is a new belief and labeled heretical by modern leaders in the Church who might just have something to lose … <a href="https://victorynow2020.wordpress.com/2017/06/03/early-church-father-quotes/" class=...

Can we know the Lord Explaining Hebrews 8
<p>How to really Know the Lord. explaining Hebrews 8 Some misinterpret Hebrews 8 as being a future fulfillment. I can see why if I look through the wrong lens of interpretation. I admit, that phrase; “No one will say ‘Know the Lord’ for all will know Him”, is confusing if you don’t understand Jewish Rabbinic … <a href="https://victorynow2020.wordpress.com/2017/05/14/if-you-dont-know-me-by-now-sung-by-yesh...

Who is and was and Came!
<p>Once again I created a study that hopefully clarifies a misunderstanding in Scripture. I love finding seemingly scary passages and showing that because men teach them incorrectly, they are actually very positive. Fortunately I get to do this a lot as a lot of men use the worng tules too ficks there injuns.

Short and Sweet!
<p>Short and Sweet! I like that when it comes to being reprimanded, preached to and when describing my lovely wife! None of us prefer “long and drawn out”. So, I thought I would be short and sweet with this little study on three verses from John.

Could a spirit pass a test?
<p>Naw! I doubt it since I don’t think they know how to write. But some Christians believe we should test them. Is this a proper method for understanding Scripture? 1 John 4:1-3 is mostly mishandled and should be easily understood if the proper tools for interpreting are used. Know a little about the early Church’s … <a href="https://victorynow2020.wordpress.com/2017/04/03/could-a-spirit-pass-a-test/" class="more-link">C...

<p>Many times it is temping to read a chapter or passage of Scripture dealing with possible punishment and immediately assume that we could also be in-line for the same fate. But it is so vital to interpret the Bible in a manner that takes into consideration the Authors intent (not intentionality….sorry.
