17And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. 18And…

One Feast of Tabernacles sermon I listened to was “The Red Letter Torah”. It was brought out how often what Jesus said (you know, the red letters in some Bibles) was actually a quote from the OT. The speaker started out by asking if Jesus really meant what He said. …
32Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. (Luke 12:32, King James Version) One thing that Church of God (COG) critics say over and over ad nauseum is “such and such scholars say” or “all these scholars say” or “all these theologians…

Yesterday, I posited that the Millennium has a purpose. I also suggested that it was a global storage program. It is evident that all of the food and resources available could not be used by the people living at the time. So, it makes sense that the physical blessings serve…
