Socialism and the Bible

Differing Things ·

2025/06/20

Socialism is an economic system that is slowly but steadily gaining in popularity with our younger generations. The rise of political figures like AOC, and Bernie Sanders continue to drive socialism in the USA. With its increasing popularity we must ask, "What does the Bible teach about it?"

Who is the Bride Of Christ

Differing Things ·

2025/06/13

Christianity as a whole has been very confused as to who the bride of Christ is. Some say it is the church, others say it is Israel, and still others say it is both. We need to ask, "What says the Scriptures." It is only through a very in-depth study of the words used that we can come to an answer. Please make sure to give us a like, and make sure to follow us!

Jesus’ Hell Passages in Context

Differing Things ·

2025/06/06

Most of us have heard some preacher, pastor, or teacher claim that Jesus spoke about "hell" more than anyone. It is a very curious claim for two reasons:It causes many Christians to leave their brain at the door and stop investigating the issue. It is NOT TRUE!!! In fact, Jesus never spoke of hell as it is traditionally taught. Considering these realities, it is important to examine the context of each of Jesus' eleven "hell" passages.

The Ishmael Myths

Differing Things ·

2025/05/30

The vast majority of Christians will trace the conflict between Arabs and Jews in the Middle East back to Isaac and Ishmael. Considering the current situation in the middle east, the subject of the Biblical roots of the conflict is a timely one. For this reason, we need to examine the role of doctrinal interpretations, particularly concerning the role of Ishmael. Did the patriarchs determine the fate of the Arabs, Jews, and modern nations? Just what does the Scripture say about this topic?

Israel Is Not a Blessed Nation

Differing Things ·

2025/05/22

For far too long the Body of Christ has misunderstood and misapplied the Abrahamic Covenant. This has led to a failure in our understanding of the relationship between the Body of Christ and Israel. It has also led to sometimes very foolish foreign policies by the United States of America. The Bible clearly teaches the Body of Christ and Israel are different, what are the ramifications of this in our understanding of this covenant?

In the sixth chapter of Ecclesiastes the writer of the book refers to a wandering soul. What does this mean? How does the soul impact our Christian life?

Inflation From a Biblical Perspective

2025/03/07

Since the Biden administrations early years, we have been told that inflation is either insignificant, transitory, or a short-term pain for a long-term stable economy. But now, almost all economists and government leaders will acknowledge that inflation is here to stay for the foreseeable future. How should we think about inflation from the Bible's perspective? What lessons can we learn from the past? How can we prepare for the future?

Hyperbole in Bible Study

Differing Things ·

2025/02/28

The Bible is full of figures of speech which have not been brought into our translations accurately. One of these figures of speech is hyperbole, to exaggerate or amplify something for effect. Many of the figures of speech in the Bible border what we in the West would consider a lie, but not so from an Eastern point of view. These figures of speech and cultural differences can indeed make Bible study difficult. Recognizing these figures of speech and cultural differences helps the Bible student
