Not unlike the effects of today’s Coronavirus, the older generation of Israel in the wilderness were dying. Numbers 20 begins with the death of Miriam (1) and concludes with the death of Aaron (28, 29). If you were to die today, what legacy would you leave? When was the last time you murmured or complained about something associated with COVID-19? What was your complaint? How did your criticism or complaint change you, your relationship with God and those around you? Why did the Lord send “fiery serpents among the people” (21:6)? What was Moses’ response when he heard their complaints and saw God’s judgment? (7) How should we be like Moses? What was the Lord’s response? (8) Why did Jesus compare Himself to Moses’ brazen serpent? (John 3:14-16) Why do many (sadly most) people refuse to look and live? (8)
The Gospel of John was traditionally written by John the Apostle around AD 90 in Ephesus. It focuses on establishing Jesus' divine nature and identity as the Son of God. The gospel contains seven "I am" statements where Jesus identifies himself as the bread of life, the light of the world, the gate/door, the good shepherd, the resurrection and the life, the way and the truth, and the true vine. The gospel emphasizes Jesus as the fulfillment of God's promises to Israel and the Savior of all humanity.
This document provides a summary of a sermon on forgiveness based on Matthew 18:21-35. It discusses three aspects of forgiveness:
1. Forgiveness from God - We owe God a debt we can never repay for our sins, but through faith in Jesus we can be forgiven. We should show mercy to others as God has shown mercy to us.
2. Forgiving one another - Jesus teaches we must forgive others not just 7 times but indefinitely. Our forgiveness of others does not impact salvation but does impact our relationship with God.
3. Forgiving ourselves - This is often the hardest but is important so Satan cannot accuse us, for our physical and spiritual well-being, and so we can
I used this PowerPoint in a bible study I taught to give a brief, historic timeline of events from the creation in Genesis to the Apostle John's Revelation. This presentation is an overview highlighting key milestones in the biblical text in chronological order as they occurred historically.
The document provides an overview of key aspects of the Gospel of John, including that it presents Jesus as the Son of God rather than the Son of Man. It outlines the seven signs Jesus performs, including turning water to wine, feeding the 5000, and raising Lazarus. The document also summarizes the seven "I am" statements of Jesus and reviews the prologue and its importance in setting up themes for the gospel.
Micah was a prophet in Israel and Judah during the 8th century BC who warned of coming judgment for their sins. He foretold destruction of both kingdoms but also spoke of future restoration and salvation. The book of Micah addresses the sins of covetousness, injustice among leaders, and misplaced trust while also pointing to a future ruler from Bethlehem and emphasizing God's righteousness, mercy and sovereignty. Micah stressed that true service to God requires acting justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly with God.
The document discusses the doctrine of salvation, including what salvation is and is not. It states that salvation is solely found in Jesus Christ and his work, not any human actions. It then outlines the process of salvation, including election by God, effectual calling, regeneration, conversion through repentance and faith, justification, and eventual glorification. It addresses common objections to the doctrines of election and reprobation. The key aspects of regeneration, conversion, and justification are also explained in detail.
Zechariah received visions concerning the future restoration and glory of Israel through the coming Messiah. His first vision featured riders on horses symbolizing God's conquest of enemies. Subsequent visions included a man measuring Jerusalem, Joshua the high priest in filthy garments, a golden lampstand representing God's church, and four chariots depicting God's angels. Zechariah counseled the Jews to faithfully serve God in light of future Messianic blessings, despite present distress. He prophesied judgment on nations and the coming of Zion's King riding humbly. The book looks forward to Israel's strengthening and ingathering by God.

The document discusses the message of the three angels from Revelation 14:6-12 that must be preached by the Remnant Church. This "everlasting gospel" is the message that Jesus died for our sins and was resurrected, bringing the hope of salvation through God's grace alone. It was planned before creation for all humanity. The Adventist Church was founded after the 1844 disappointment to fulfill Christ's command to preach this gospel worldwide. Members are called to dedicate themselves to continuing this global missionary work.
The document provides an overview of the book of Numbers in the Bible. It is divided into two main sections, the first covering the organization of the tribes at Sinai and the second covering the pilgrimage through the wilderness. Some key events summarized are the people failing to trust God and enter the promised land due to the faithless report of the spies, and the story of Balaam who is unable to curse Israel when recruited by an enemy king. The theology discussed emphasizes the importance of faith in God over following rules, along with God's holiness and faithfulness to his promises.
Moving Forward in Uncertain Times | A Sermon from Matthew 2:13-23Steve Thomason
This document provides an overview of two biblical characters, Matthew and Joseph, and reflects on moving forward into a new year. It summarizes Matthew's calling by Jesus to follow him despite being a tax collector, previously living a life of violence. It then discusses Joseph, referencing his origins from Nazareth and the gossip and scorn directed towards him and Mary. The document concludes by asking the reader to consider how they can be blessed to be a blessing to others in the new year.
The document provides an overview and outline of Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians. It discusses the historical context of Thessalonica and the authors Paul, Silas, and Timothy. Major themes of the letter include its apologetic defense of the church's founding, portrayal of a healthy growing ecclesia, pastoral guidance, eschatological focus on future hope, and emphasis on missionary work and church planting. The document concludes by noting the Bible's historic accuracy, the universal call to spread the gospel, God's long-term development of servants, and inevitable resistance faced in service.
This document provides background information on the church in Ephesus that was addressed in Revelation 2:1-7. It summarizes that Ephesus was an early, apostolic church that was commended for its works, patience, and rejection of false teachings. However, Christ criticized it for losing its first love for Him and becoming too focused on routines and programs. It was warned to repent and return to serving out of love for Christ or else He would remove its pastor and blessing. The church is used as an example of what can happen when outward works are not matched with inward devotion to Christ.
Here is my attempt to explain in short fashion what the Bible has to tell us about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, complete with my own short testimony of who God “zapped” me in as a Marine Lieutenant in Japan in 1973. God wants to fill us all again and again with His Spirit so we can be powerful and fruitful witnesses for Him here and around the world.
Pray for God to fill you again and to baptize you with His Spirit if you have never experienced that.
Easter celebrates Jesus' death and resurrection, which were prophesied in the Old Testament. His death was a seeming defeat, but through his resurrection, Jesus conquered death and inaugurated God's kingdom on earth. The resurrection is the basis of Christianity - without it, faith is meaningless and people remain in their sins. It also gives believers hope of their own resurrection to eternal life in a new creation without suffering. Easter marks our victory over sin and death through Jesus' victory over the grave.
The document discusses various aspects of the book of Revelation including:
1) Key symbols in Revelation like the four living creatures representing different animals and the 24 elders representing the 12 tribes of Israel and 12 apostles.
2) Passages from Revelation discussing Jesus being the only one worthy to open the seals on the scroll and redeem people through his blood.
3) An overview of the events of the first half of the tribulation period according to Revelation including wars, famine, death and martyrdom.
4) Discussion of the rapture and different views on its timing and nature.
5) Descriptions of end times events like the second coming, millennium reign, and great white throne
Acts 19, Receiving the Holy Spirit, baptism of the Holy Spirit, becoming hard...Valley Bible Fellowship
Paul arrives in Ephesus and finds some disciples who had not received the Holy Spirit. He baptizes them in Jesus' name and lays hands on them so they receive the Holy Spirit. Some Jews try to invoke Jesus' name in exorcisms but are rebuked by demons. Paul teaches in the school of Tyrannus for two years and many miracles are performed through him. When some become hardened against the gospel, Paul withdraws and reasons daily. Demetrius stirs up a riot against Paul in the theater, accusing him of threatening the cult of Artemis.
This class on the Gospel of Matthew is being taught by Dr. John Oakes and Robert Carrillo in San Diego May-Aug, 2015. The first class is by John Oakes and is an introduction to the Book of Matthew, with emphasis on Matthew’s use of historical prophecies, prefigures and foreshadows to show that Jesus fulfills the messianic expectation.
This is a series of ten lessons on the attributes of God. These lessons are not meant for seminary study, but for the everyday believer who wants to gain a practical understanding of the subject for their own personal growth and reading; for small group bible studies, or for teaching and edification in church.
The document discusses the 144,000 and who they are. It explains that they will be sealed by God before the winds are released, marking them as a special group who have remained faithful. While the exact meaning of the 144,000 is uncertain, the key is for believers to strive daily to strengthen their relationship with God and help others do the same, as this group will only be known by God. The focus should be on spiritual preparation rather than debates over the 144,000's identity.
Mary Magdalene was healed by Jesus of seven demons and became one of his faithful disciples. She was present at the crucifixion and went with other women to anoint Jesus' body after the Sabbath. At the empty tomb, she was the first person Jesus appeared to after his resurrection. He told her to share the news of his resurrection with the other disciples, making her the "apostle to the apostles." She is now recognized as a patron saint of the church.
The document summarizes the major sections and stories found in the book of Genesis. It outlines the creation account, the fall of humankind, Cain and Abel, Noah and the flood, the Tower of Babel, Abraham, Jacob and Esau, and Joseph. For each section, it provides a brief overview of the key events and theological significance, such as the covenants God establishes with Noah and Abraham. The conclusion discusses the foundational theological themes in Genesis, including the creation of the world, the introduction of sin, and God's covenants to rescue and bless humanity.
The document describes the final judgment according to Revelation 20:11-15. It summarizes that John saw a great white throne and God sitting on it, with the earth and heavens fleeing from His face. The dead, both small and great, will stand before God, and books will be opened containing records of people's deeds. Another book opened is the Book of Life, and people will be judged according to their works. The sea and death will give up the dead to be judged. Death and Hades will be thrown into the lake of fire, which is the second death. Anyone not found written in the Book of Life will also be thrown into the lake of fire.
Nahum prophesied between 663-612 BC about the impending destruction of Nineveh, the capital of Assyria.
The book serves as a sequel to Jonah and contrasts God's justice in destroying Nineveh with his former mercy in sparing the city after they repented. Nahum focuses on God's message of certain and justified judgment rather than the messenger.
Nahum depicts God as the sovereign ruler and divine warrior who will use his power and anger to avenge his oppressed people Israel by destroying their Assyrian oppressors, demonstrating his protection of those loyal to him. The prophecies were fulfilled around 612 BC with the sacking of Nineveh.
What is the Spirit of prophecy? Is it a person? Is it applicable in our present time?
The many challenges that have been manifested in recent times over the Spirit of Prophecy has caused many to question and some to study to find out what is truth. Truth clearly revealed in the bible is what we seek and as such we look carefully at whether or not the writings of Sister White pass the test using a simple comparison.
God reveals exciting truths about His nature through the pages of the Old Testament. We can discover many spiritual gems by knowing the story of the Old Testament and how the various books of the Bible fit into that story. John Beene taught an Overview of the Old Testament at the November 20, 2011 congregational worship. The class included timelines, pictures, and maps to help the scriptures come to life. Listen to the lessons, view the Power Point presentation, and use the Old Testament Timelines to further your own study of God's story in the Old Testament.
This document discusses the concept of hope in Christianity using Abraham as an example. It states that Abraham believed God's promise to make him a great nation despite experiencing doubts, showing him to be the father of faith. Christians likewise can anchor their hope in God's promises through Scripture, such as salvation and eternal life through belief in Jesus, rather than having uncertain hope like non-Christians. The Bible's promises give Christians a firm basis for their hope in God.

This document discusses the concept of hope in Christianity using Abraham as an example. It states that Abraham believed God's promise to make him a great nation despite experiencing doubts, showing him to be the father of faith. Christians likewise can anchor their hope in God's promises through Scripture, such as salvation and eternal life through belief in Jesus, rather than having uncertain hope like non-Christians. The Bible's promises give Christians a firm basis for their hope in God.
The document discusses the three realms of the supernatural: faith, anointing, and glory. It states that faith is the first realm and portal to the supernatural. Faith is in the person of Jesus Christ and it is the beginning of entry into the supernatural realm. The document explores many Bible passages that discuss faith and how it is necessary to please God and receive his promises. It establishes that the realm of faith centers around believing in Jesus Christ.
This document contains a table of contents for various religious topics and passages from a Christian perspective. Some key points:
- Salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ, not by one's own good works or righteousness, which are like "filthy rags." True righteousness comes only through God's grace.
- As unbelievers, people cannot understand or receive God's word, but after being saved through faith in Christ, His word comes alive and one can grow spiritually.
- Jesus suffered greatly, allowing himself to be beaten and crucified to pay the price for humanity's sins so that through faith in him, people can be saved and made righteous by God.
- The free gift of salvation
The document discusses the power and righteousness revealed through the gospel. It notes that the gospel is God's power for salvation for all who believe, both Jews and Gentiles. It reveals a righteousness from God that comes through faith, not works, and is a righteousness bestowed on those who have faith. The gospel was written to produce faith in Jesus as the Christ and Son of God so that people may have eternal life through believing in his name.
The document discusses what the gospel is and why it is important. It defines the gospel as the good news that Jesus rescues people from sin and its consequences through his life, death, and resurrection. This salvation involves justification, sanctification, and glorification. The gospel is God's power to save all who believe in Jesus as the Son of God. False gospels focus on other things besides Jesus or contradict the Bible. The true gospel centers on Jesus and is foundational to Christianity.
When someone becomes a Christian, they receive a new identity in Christ. Their old life is gone and they become a new creation. With this new identity, believers should live their lives reflecting Christ so that others can see they are followers of Him. As children of God, Christians now have a new relationship with Him as their Father and can approach Him with confidence. Part of strengthening this new identity is growing in spiritual maturity through continually building a relationship with God.
This document discusses the doctrine of the Trinity through examining passages from the Heidelberg Catechism and Kevin DeYoung's book "The Good News We Almost Forgot." It explains that the Trinity refers to the one true God existing as three distinct persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Biblical evidence for each person of the Trinity is provided. While the Trinity is beyond human reason, it shows God's relational nature and how humans are made in His image to be relational beings.
The document discusses Jesus' statement that "salvation is of the Jews". It explains that the promises of salvation were first made to Abraham, who was the father of the Jewish people. Though Gentiles were once aliens to Israel, through faith in Christ both Jews and Gentiles can now inherit the promises. Salvation is only found by accepting Jesus, who fulfilled the covenant with Abraham and through whom God's purpose of blessing all nations will be achieved.
The gospel is the good news of God's salvation for mankind through Jesus Christ. Due to Adam and Eve's disobedience, God's children were taken captive by sin. As a loving father, God sought to rescue his children by sending his son Jesus to die on the cross. Through his death and resurrection, Jesus paid the punishment for sin so that all may be forgiven and have eternal life by accepting God's free gift of salvation. The document provides biblical support for these concepts and encourages readers to accept this gift of salvation in Jesus.
The document discusses the concept of "fearing God" from Malachi 3:16. It argues that to fear God means to have faith in Jesus through understanding the prophecies, as the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. It provides multiple biblical examples to support this interpretation and show how having faith in God and his word results in righteousness and obedience, with the potential for believers to remain alive during end times events through their faith.
Though the first promise of God proclaimed that Messiah would be born of a woman; the prophets declared a "virgin shall conceive;" Mary, the mother, questioned "How can this be seeing I have not known a man?" and Dr. Luke examined in detail the virgin birth, there are many who challenge the belief in the uniqueness of Messiah's birth. This very brief study examines the reasons for believing in the virgin birth.
This is an explanation of the fullness of our being born again, in a way not heretofore written by many, with helps & quotations by our beloved George Hawtin.
This document is a commentary on Romans 8:12-30 discussing the privileges and responsibilities of Christians as children of God. It describes four key privileges: 1) God is their Father, 2) Jesus Christ is their elder Brother and they inherit what he inherits, 3) The Holy Spirit helps them by guiding them, assuring them of their sonship, and interceding for them in prayer, 4) Heaven is their true home. It also discusses two main responsibilities: to remember they are in debt to God for all he has done, and to mortify, or put to death, the deeds of the flesh through the power of the Holy Spirit.
The document outlines four spiritual laws that govern people's relationship with God. The first law is that God loves people and offers a wonderful plan for their lives. The second law is that people are sinful and separated from God, so they cannot know or experience God's love without intervention. The third law is that Jesus Christ is God's only provision to bridge the gap between God and people caused by sin. The fourth law is that people must individually receive Jesus Christ as their savior and lord in order to know and experience God's love and plan for their lives.
1) The document discusses the gospel or good news of God's salvation for mankind through Jesus Christ. It explains that through sin, mankind was captive and enslaved, but God rescued us by sending his son Jesus to die on the cross.
2) It further explains what was accomplished through Jesus' death - forgiveness of sins, healing, righteousness, eternal life, and more. It emphasizes that salvation is a free gift from God that one must accept through faith in Jesus.
3) The document encourages accepting God's gift of salvation through confessing faith in Jesus and provides resources for spiritual growth.

The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:
And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord:
Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary:
Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried; He descended into hell;
The third day he rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead, I believe in the Holy Ghost,
I believe in the holy catholic church, the communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body,
And the life everlasting. Amen.
The Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed (A.D. 381)
I believe in One God,
The Father Almighty,
Maker of Heaven and Earth,
And of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
The Son of God,
The Only-Begotten, begotten of the Father before all ages;
Light of Light;
True God of True God;
Begotten, not made;
Of one essence with the Father,
By Whom all things were made;
Who for us men and for our salvation
Came down from Heaven,
And was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary,
And became man.
And He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate,
And suffered, and was buried.
And the third day He arose again,
According to the Scriptures,
And ascended into Heaven,
And sits at the right hand of the Father;
And He shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead;
Whose Kingdom shall have no end.
And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life,
Who proceeds from the Father;
Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified;
Who spoke by the prophets.
And in One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.

I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins.
I look for the resurrection of the dead,
And the life of the world to come.
The “Athanasian” Creed
Whosoever will be saved, before all things it is necessary that he hold the catholic faith;
Which faith except every one do keep whole and undefiled, without doubt he shall perish everlastingly.
And the catholic faith is this: That we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity;
Neither confounding the persons nor dividing the substance.
For there is one person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Spirit.
But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit is all one, the glory equal, the majesty
coeternal.
Such as the Father is, such is the Son, and such is the Holy Spirit.
The Father uncreated, the Son uncreated, and the Holy Spirit uncreated.
The Father incomprehensible, the Son incomprehensible, and the Holy Spirit incomprehensible.
The Father eternal, the Son eternal, and the Holy Spirit eternal. ...
This document contains excerpts from the Bible and writings of Ellen White discussing Romans chapter 5. It summarizes that Romans 5:1 begins with "therefore" to link what comes next to the justification explained in preceding chapters. Being justified by faith means being made righteous and in line with God's law through Jesus. This brings peace with God, which can only be found in Christ. It discusses how faith is trusting in God's word to accomplish what it says. Jesus is the living word of God. Being at peace with God through faith in Christ brings access to God's grace, and causes rejoicing even in tribulations, as tribulations produce patience.
This document discusses the doctrine of creation from a biblical perspective. It presents Genesis 1:1-5 and explores five major views of creation: atheistic evolution, theistic evolution, progressive creation, the gap theory, and six-day creation. It notes that many scientists who founded modern sciences such as astronomy, chemistry, and physics were creationists. It argues that whether God created the world has significant implications for how we view God, ourselves, and our purpose and meaning in life.
Satan fell from grace by exercising his free will to rebel against God in pride, leading many angels to join him in sinning. While angels were originally created good, Satan and others willingly corrupted themselves. Satan's fall occurred sometime after Genesis 1 when creation was declared good, and before Genesis 3 when he tempted Eve in the form of a serpent. Scripture implies the angels' sin was one of prideful rebellion and overstepping their proper roles. As a result, the fallen angels including Satan were cast from God's presence into eternal condemnation and chains of darkness.
The document discusses the origin and nature of angels according to scripture. It describes that angels were created by Christ before Earth to glorify God. They were created as free moral agents that were good and lived in God's presence. Some angels, like Lucifer, chose to rebel against God. Angels are spirit beings that sometimes appear as men. They have intelligence, emotions, and free will. They have appeared to people throughout the Bible with bright and sometimes frightening appearances. Their wings, when described, signify their swift service to God. The document notes that angels do not fully understand concepts like redemption and Jesus' incarnation that redeemed humanity.
Expository Preaching, Lecture 3 (How, Part 2)Todd Linn, PhD
This document discusses the process of expository preaching. It explains that expository preaching involves unfolding the meaning of a Scripture passage that has been studied contextually while depending on the Holy Spirit. It provides steps for studying a passage, including reading it multiple times, noting its grammar, themes, and theology. Sermons based on the passage should have a proposition statement, explanation of the text, illustrations, and applications. Transitions are needed to move between points, and introductions should set up the subject and propositions while conclusions summarize these.
This document discusses how Christians should desire God's word like newborn babies desire milk. It says Christians must both rid themselves of sin and feed themselves with God's word. God's word enables Christians to live as God calls them to and helps them avoid sin. The document encourages readers to crave God's word desperately, eagerly, and frequently - just as babies crave milk desperately, eagerly, and frequently for nourishment. It prompts examining how frequently one hears or reads God's word.
A brief treatment on the reason for celebrating Advent; why Jesus Christ came into the world; what it means to be saved; how to become a Christian; by Todd Linn, PhD, preachingtruth.org
This document discusses the process of expository preaching. It explains that expository preaching involves unfolding the meaning of a Scripture passage that has been studied contextually and with reliance on the Holy Spirit. The key aspects of exegetical work on a passage are examining the context, content, and concern. Understanding the textual, historical, and literary context of a passage is important. Analyzing the structure, words, grammar and patterns of a passage helps determine its content. Exegesis also seeks to determine the author's original intent and the modern-day meaning or application. The example of interpreting the parable of the Good Samaritan demonstrates focusing on the main point rather than reading extra meanings into details.
Expository preaching, introductory lecture by Todd Linn, PhDTodd Linn, PhD
This document discusses expository preaching, which involves unfolding the meaning of a Scripture passage that has been studied contextually and relying on the Holy Spirit. Expository preaching aims to say what the Bible itself says rather than just preaching about it. It involves exegesis to discover the intended meaning of passages and ensuring the sermon has one main theme from the text. Expository preaching includes explanation of what the text says, illustration to show its meaning, and application of how it applies personally. The document provides biblical basis for expository preaching and discusses its benefits, such as keeping preaching aligned with Scripture and systematically teaching the whole counsel of God.
Introductory presentation by Todd Linn, PhD on the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ; addresses popular theories that attempt to explain away the resurrection; part one of two presentations on this topic.
The document examines the biblical nature of God as the Trinity - three persons in one essence. It provides scriptural evidence for God's unity as one God and plurality as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Definitions are given for the Trinity, and illustrations using water, an egg and the sun are presented. Two unbiblical views of the Trinity from Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses are described and refuted. The conclusion acknowledges that while the Trinity is not a logical contradiction, the exact nature of the relationship between the persons is mysterious.
God has many names in the Bible that reveal aspects of his nature, character, and relationship with humanity. The names include Elohim, which refers to God's power and majesty, YHWH or Jehovah, which is God's covenant name and represents his holiness, provision, and redemption, and Adonai meaning "Lord" speaking of God's authority over humanity. Christians also refer to Jesus by many names that highlight his roles such as the Good Shepherd, King of Kings, and Son of God. Believers should honor God by thoughtfully using his names in worship, prayer and living in a way that represents his character.
This document discusses the attributes of God, which are His essential properties that define His character. There are communicable attributes, like love and mercy, that humans share to a limited degree, and incommunicable attributes, like omnipresence and eternity, that are unique to God. The document examines each attribute and how believers should respond to learning about God's perfect nature, such as being humbled by His grace and assured by His sovereignty. Studying God's attributes helps believers better praise and understand Him.
The document discusses two types of God's providence: general providence over all creation and special providence in the lives of his children. It also addresses why God allows evil to exist, arguing that while God is all-good and all-powerful, evil has not yet been defeated but God will one day defeat it. The document provides reasons why God permits evil, such as to make people perfect through trials and bring perseverance, and so God can demonstrate his greatest love through Jesus. It concludes that sometimes the mystery of God's providence must be accepted through faith.
The document discusses different worldviews and arguments for the existence of God. It outlines three main arguments: the cosmological argument which argues that the universe must have been caused by God; the moral argument that objective moral laws imply a moral lawgiver; and the teleological argument that the intricate design of the universe implies an intelligent designer. Bible verses are provided supporting each argument.
This document discusses whether Christians can be demon-possessed by examining what the Bible says. It notes that the Bible does not explicitly answer this question but provides considerations. It reviews the study of pneumatology, noting that Christians receive the Holy Spirit at conversion and are sealed and baptized by Him. Given scriptures showing the Holy Spirit dwells in Christians, it seems unlikely a demon could possess a temple occupied by the Holy Spirit. The document distinguishes between demon possession, which involves demon control or ownership, and demon oppression, which Christians can experience through spiritual attacks or temptation to sin.
The document discusses Satanology, the study of Satan. It provides 10 titles for Satan from the Bible, describing him as the adversary, tempter, father of lies, and ruler of this world who blinds unbelieving man from coming to Christ. It emphasizes that since the Garden of Eden, God and Satan have been locked in a cosmic battle for man's allegiance, and urges readers to put on the whole armor of God according to Ephesians 6:10-17.
This document discusses assurance of salvation and addresses common questions and concerns around this topic. It provides 4 reasons why people may lack assurance of salvation, including a lack of biblical knowledge. It emphasizes that assurance comes from having present faith in Christ, evidence of regeneration by the Holy Spirit, and a pattern of spiritual growth over time. True believers will persevere in faith to the end. False assurance can result if salvation is seen as a single past decision rather than ongoing faith and obedience.
Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.

Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.

Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...OmarBarrezueta1
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).
The Book of Revelation, filled with symbolic and apocalyptic imagery, presents one of its most striking visions in Revelation 9:3-12—the locust army. Understanding the significance of this locust army provides insight into the broader themes of divine judgment, protection, and the ultimate triumph of God’s will as depicted in Revelation.

Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.
4. The “Faith” Answer
“The only way we may be saved from the
penalty of our sin is to believe in the One
True God who made Himself known to us
by coming to us in the Person of Jesus
Christ, the God-Man, the one who died on
the cross for our sins and rose again from
the grave. We must repent and believe
that Jesus Christ is Lord and receive Him
as our own Personal Lord and Savior.
There is no other way we may be saved.”
6. But what about those who
lived before Jesus came?
■ What about those who lived before the
cross?
■ What about those who lived in the “BC”
part of the time-line?
■ They can’t receive Christ as Lord and
Savior because Jesus Christ has not yet
come, right?. . .
8. The Seed
The foundation upon which redemption would
rest was God’s promise of a coming seed. In
addressing Satan in the immediate aftermath of
the fall, the Lord said . . .
Genesis 3:15. . .
“I will put enmity between you and the
woman, and between your seed and her
Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you
shall bruise His heel.”
9. The line of the promised seed was
announced in Genesis 12:2-3 . . .
“ . . . and in you (Abraham) all the
families of the earth shall be blessed.”
The identity of the line of the seed to be
blessed was particularized in Genesis
17:19:
“and you shall call his name Isaac; I
will establish My covenant with him for
an everlasting covenant, and with his
descendants after him.”
10. The Son
And so, through the seed of Abraham grew
the promise. The line of the promised
seed flourished until it produced its final
fruit in the Son.
Galatians 3:16 . . .
“Now to Abraham and his Seed were
the promises made. He does not say,
‘And to seeds,’ as of many, but as of
one, ‘And to your Seed,’ who is Christ.”
11. The Sinner
The window to salvation, from the
manward side, is opened in a phrase
associated with Abraham’s acceptance of
God’s promise of an heir—His promised
seed: “And he believed in the Lord; and
he counted it to him for
righteousness” (Genesis 15:6).
12. Romans 4:1-5 verifies that Abraham’s faith
was not placed in a righteousness-reward
relationship.
Saving faith would not be forged by
observing laws, traditions, or even the
repetitious sacrifices that would be the
evidence, but not the means, of faith.
Point of Romans 4:1-5: Abraham was
justified (declared righteous before God) by
faith, not by works.
13. Today justification (to be declared
righteous) is also by faith, but with this
important difference:
Whereas Abraham believed God would
give him a son . . . we believe God has
given us His Son, and that by faith in Him
we are saved . . .
14. Therefore, the basis of saving
faith, Old Testament or New, is
always in the Son.
The question is only whether
one is looking forward to His
coming, or back to the
Redeemer who has come . . .
15. Time Before Christ
(OT believers looked forward)
Time Since Christ
(NT believers look back)
1000BC. . . 500 BC... 100 BC…..0 …100 AD…500 AD…2021 AD
16. Salvation in the Old Testament
Therefore, salvation in the Old
Testament occurs the same way as in
the New Testament.
We are “saved by grace through
faith . . . not of works” (Ephesians
2:8-9).
