Mimic the young lady in the blue skirt if you want to do it right, LOL!
Understanding the state of the dead blesses us to be able to understand the bible from Genesis to Revelation. Most believers shudder to think of being part of a one-world pagan religion, so it will come as a shock to learn that the majority of the world believes in eternal souls due to paganism, a fact that is not in doubt. This message is not meant to be comprehensive, but to illustrate the basic belief of the first century Christians and how the doctrine of eternal souls is ultimately incompatible with scripture. Please visit https://firstcenturychristianity.net/ for more teachings on the faith once delivered to the saints.
Throughout Paul's story in Acts and his letters, it seems that he was comfortable among people with power, both political and religious. Acts 22 and 23 show that his family had money or some other strong connection with the Roman authorities. His personal history and apparent influence of his nephew show a strong connection with the Jewish religious authorities. Paul was smart, educated, well-spoken, and a political force to be reckoned with, even with the whole Roman and Jewish worlds against him.

Our churches and synagogues are still full of Balaams today, men and women calling themselves teachers, prophets, and apostles, but who teach God's people to sin. Beware of anyone who tells you what your flesh wants to hear, who prioritizes profit over Biblical truth, or who tells you that God didn't mean what he said when he said "Don't do that!"

The Common Sense Bible Study crew discusses James 3:1-12. "The tongue is a fire." Guarding your speech is one of the most important skills to learn when you're part of a community. It's also one of the hardest. It's doubly important for Bible teachers.

When James says that Abraham and Rahab were justified by their faith and works, he isn't saying that you need to earn your salvation. He isn't even saying that salvation produces works (it does!). He's saying that faith that brings justification is a fully committed faith and can't be separated from works.

Something the Epstein files, the bombing of the Iranian nuclear facilities, the tragedy in Texas, and our news media have in common that give a little known sign of the end times.

The Common Sense Bible Study crew discusses James 2:14-26. What is the real relationship between faith and works? What is faith? James' analogy of "the body apart from the spirit is dead" is key to understanding the apparent conflict between Paul's "justified apart from works" and James' "justified by works and not by faith alone".

Jay Carper discusses James 2:1-13. The Way (early Christianity) was different from all other religions of the Greco-Roman world in that it welcomed people of all social strata and wealth, putting them all on parity as equal members of the body of Christ. Plus the Torah as the Law of Liberty.

Pat Robertson acknowleding publicly everything we know about the pagan origins of Christmas.
The people rejected Moses as their leader in Numbers 14, but Moses didn't respond with anger or jealousy. He humbled himself before both the people and God and interceded on their behalf. He wasn't a leader for his own sake, but of the sake of the Kingdom and Name of God.

As it turns out, the bible tells us quite plainly when Jesus Christ aka Yeshua the Messiah was born. It's not December 25 and it's not Sukkot. What's really shocking is that it's right in plain view!
