Stauros, as well as -stauroo- which becomes ‘crucify,’ is, as we noted, from the base -Stao: to stand/ as in: abide, appoint, bring, continue, covenant, establish, set. Interestingly, a comparable word is -tithemi- or -theo- which means: to place/ as in: advise, appoint, bow, commit, conceive, give, make, […]
In these figures of speech, the so-called self is given as analogous with mind, and more specifically with unacceptable modes of thinking. “The natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God… nor can he know them” 1cor2:14 and then v.16, “but we have the […]
And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be my disciple.”. Luke 14:27 The gravity of these words seem to pale in comparison to the strong statement that accompanies, verse 26 , that unless one hates his family and his life also, he cannot […]
In the sixteen verses of Matthew 6:19-34, Rav Yeshua (Jesus Christ) gives us some sound advice pertaining to the sort of things we should value (6:21), as well as advisement against us distributing our power among too many spiritual endeavors (6:24). But in Matthew 6:25-33 Rav Yeshua (Jesus […]
Nearly everyone has heard, at some point, the Mosaic Law with all its statutes and sacrifices being referred to as “the old covenant”, while the promise of Grace through Christ Jesus is referred to as “the new covenant”. This gives the impression that God started out with the […]
JESUS was with GOD when HE created the universe. Actually HE was the cocreater, not in the sense that they were sperate beings, but more like the brain and the mind working in the unity in one body; such as, different parts of one body.GOD spoke the word […]
That God created the universe, and also mankind as one of His creatures therein, is patently obvious and is therefore taken as stipulated for the purpose of this essay. From there, speculation and inquiry may go in many different directions. For example, how? Why? What next? However, I […]
In ancient Rome, there was a particularly gruesome method for executing certain criminals, called ‘crucifixion’. The condemned man was forced to pick up and carry a very massive, cumbersome timber cross to the designated spot, knowing all the while that upon arrival he would be nailed to it […]
One day as I was sitting by the bay, Wondering what was going to happen the next day, As God’s animals swan, crawled, and flew by my way, The need was felt for me to pray, I prayed for the young-I prayed for the old, I prayed for […]
This is to do away the misconception that people goes to heaven when they passed away. Why when GOD returns is HE going to raise us up from the ground when we are dead? After researching this in the NEW KING JAMES BIBLE , I have came to […]
In mathematics the branch of geometry is said to deal with the properties (i.e. size, shape, and portion) and relationships of lines, surfaces, and solids in space. By knowing the principles of geometry it helps us to understand certain fundamental characteristics and rules, making practical problems easier for […]
Matthew chapter 24 is a description by Jesus of His second coming, and the language is very graphic. However, I believe it is also open to translation, or perhaps it is in want of transliteration into more modern imagery. Science and technology have given our generation a familiarity […]
Since the invention of language, there have been times when certain words are mistranslated, misinterpreted, or misunderstood. As time passes, the common usage of some words slowly changes, so that the original true meaning is lost. “Evil” is just such a word. Today, the word ‘evil’ brings to […]
In the realm of pure thought, there are concepts which do not have a physical representation. Nevertheless, these incorporeal concepts are very real in the sense that they have definite, quantifiable impacts on the sensory universe, both with their presence and with their absence. This grouping of ideas […]
The Bible says, “The wisdom of God is foolishness to those who are perishing”. In other words, when God says we should think and act and live in a certain way in order to conform to His standards, anyone who is firmly anchored to this dying world — […]
Many people believe that Satan the devil is God’s equal. They believe that there is a spiritual war being waged between two opposing factions, and that each side has roughly the same capability to damage and to do harm to the other. Most of these people hope that […]
Jonah was a man who ran away from what God wanted him to do. Have you ever ran away from what God has called you to do? We all have. God called Jonah to go to the city of Nineveh so that the people there would be saved […]
Woke up this morning with joy in my heart, I had a conversation with my daughter last night, she is in her teenage years so she has a mean streak in her at times, but yesterday was different, I even heard it in her voice when she answered […]

Our physical universe operates according to immutable rules that we call the Laws of Physics. Some of them can be stated very simply, such as the Law of Gravity: what goes up, must come down. Even a child can understand this. There are others, as well. There is […]
The greatest of all the commandments in the Bible is this: love God. He even makes it easy. He loves us tremendously. He loves us collectively, as a race of His creation, and He loves us individually, each and every one in a unique and special way. He […]
It’s amazing how my character and demeanor have changed. Now that I’m born again my life will never be the same. I learned how to survive, but now I’m ready to start giving. It’s time to change, because the old me was criminal minded. I’m searching for forgivng […]

The first Ecclesiastical gathering in history was summoned in 325 AD, and is today known as the “Council of Nicaea. It was at this gathering that the spurious religion known as “Christianity” was born, and the ramifications of the decisions made at this time are difficult to calculate. […]
This plan is bigger than me. Much higher than my comprehension. Much wiser than my witty ideas. Much more than I could ever conceive. This plan is more powerful than any control I will ever exert. Much stronger than my minuscule muscles. My ball of energy falls far […]
Growing up I never understood the difference between Spirituality and religion, I actually thought that they were both one in the same, but while journeying and studying in prison, I found that they are two completely different aspects of human existence. Spirituality is a persons divine connection with […]
Our lives in Christ in this world is constantly one of preparation for future endeavors for our Lord God now & to the end of time, & for heaven which is for eternity. My time incarcerated has been one of a greater purpose than “my” mind could comprehend. […]
First of all I got to give God the glory. Alone, Him creating us was & is a blessing out of love beyond our own natural understanding. But going further, the same creation He put over everything of the world we turned our backs & hearts against Him, […]
