The reason behind the writing
Don't let somebody else do your Bible study for you.
I hope these articles make you think. Better yet, I hope they send you back to Scripture, asking questions and examining every claim against the Word of God.

Jesus Isn’t Your Sabbath
This is another very common objection to the Sabbath. Many will often claim, “Jesus is my Sabbath!” This, of course, is just an excuse to reject the real Sabbath and to continue doing what you want. Let’s look at it from the Bible.
Did Jesus Break the Sabbath? The Biblical Truth That Many Overlook.
One of the more common objections I have heard in regard to the Sabbath is the claim that Jesus broke the Sabbath. But is that a Biblical claim? Let’s study and find out.
Worms and Fire
Mark 9:43-48 is often cited by many in an effort to try and prove eternal hellfire. But, is that what it really teaches? No, it doesn’t. When we compare all the Scriptures in the Bible on this topic, it becomes extremely clear that nobody goes to Heaven or Hellfire at death, and hellfire doesn’t even exist yet. So, what does this passage mean? Let’s study and find out.
Who is Michael?
Jesus and Michael, the archangel, are one and the same person. Now let's talk about how from the bible. Now searching the name Michael will yield about 15 results, but five of those, at least five, refer to Jesus. Three of those appear in the book of Daniel, one in Jude, one in Revelation.
What Jesus Taught on Death and Hell
Know, I don't know who needs to hear this, but Jesus did not speak on hellfire more than he spoke on any other topic. He actually spoke on God and heaven more than anything else. Okay. But what did Jesus teach on death and hell? Well, let's start with the story of Lazarus.
Colossians 2, Acts 15, & the Sabbath
So I received a comment on one of my Instagram posts with several objections as to why this person believes the Sabbath no longer applies in the New Testament time period, starting with Christ came to fulfill the law. Now we're gonna go through each objection in this post, and see what the Bible says.
The Antichrist Revealed!
The identity of the antichrist has been revealed as has the mark of the beast. Now what are they? Thankfully, the Bible gives us several key characteristics that there is only one possible option for who the antichrist is. Now one fundamental principle we need to lay down for this study is how Daniel chapters two, seven, and eight all parallel each other. They simply use different symbols to discuss the same topic, each time with additional details.
Leo: the name, the pope, the prophecy
By now, most, if not all of you, know that the Catholic Church elected a new pope. He has taken the name of Leo XIV, and he is also the first American pope from the USA. Here's a few reasons why this could be very significant and prophetic.
Debunking Once Saved Always Saved, Part 2
A popular belief amongst Christians today is the doctrine of Once Saved, Always Saved. Why is it so popular? Doubtless there are some who genuinely believe this. But there are others who simply use it as an excuse to live as they please, and still trying to have assurance of salvation. Is this idea Biblical? Or is it a dangerous deception invented by the devil? Let's study together and find out.
Debunking Once Saved Always Saved - Part 1
This is one of those hotly debated topics within the various circles of Christianity. Some say the doctrine of OSAS is false, some say it’s true. But, what does the Bible say? In this study will be explained what the Bible says on this topic. Once Saved, Always Saved is a false doctrine. But why? And why do so many people defend it tooth and nail?
This false doctrine is built on a few major tenets. These are as follows:
The Rain is Coming
You know, recently I was driving my work truck. It was about week ago. (A week and two days by the time you're reading this.) And it was raining. It was raining HARD. It was deafening. The sound from the rain completely drowned out the sound coming from the radio. But after a few minutes, the rain died down and I could hear the music again.
And this made me think of what is coming in the near future. God's people are going to go through the HARDEST trial any humans, aside from Jesus, have ever had to go through. And it will take some serious faith. Daniel says this about that time that is not far distant.
the Parable of the rich man and lazarus
The parable of the rich man and lazarus is found in Luke 16:19-31. It is hotly debated about whether or not it is a parable or if it was a story that actually happened. However, when studying the Bible on this topic, it becomes abundantly clear that it is a parable.
What Paul Taught about Death and Hell
It is pretty common to hear or see people reference the apostle Paul when trying to sustain their belief that people go to heaven or hell at death. However, when studying the entire Bible on this subject, it becomes abundantly clear that Paul never taught the concept of the immortal soul, or the idea of and eternally burning hell.
What Paul taught about the Ten Commandments
Many people teach that the apostle Paul releases us from obedience to the Ten Commandments. But, what does the Bible ACTUALLY say?
