OF WHOM IS GOD THE FATHER? We are told in Scripture that God is the Father of His Son Jesus Christ, of believers, and of Israel. We are also told that angels are “sons of God”. We are never told that Adam was the son of God. Each of these will be discussed in this […]

SALVATION SENT TO THE GENTILES APART FROM ISRAEL I have read in the writings of both mid-Acts and Acts 28 believers that before the dispensation of the mystery began salvation had never been sent to the Gentiles “apart from Israel”. I believe that the Gentiles have always had the opportunity to partake in God’s gift […]
IS JERUSALEM “MYSTERY BABYLON”? INTRODUCTION I must confess that the first time I heard that “Mystery Babylon” is Jerusalem, my immediate reaction was, “Oh I don’t think so, God loved Jerusalem, but His angels rejoiced over the destruction of “Mystery Babylon”. My thoughts went to Luke 13:34, where we read, “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest […]
THE TRINITY: PART THREE The emphasis of part one, “The Trinity: Is God Three Persons In One?” was to point out that “Father”, “Son” and “Holy Spirit”, are not three different Persons, they are three titles of God. This is consistent with the fact that in the Old Testament, as well as the New Testament, […]

This paper is an attempt to explain why I questioned this view and my conclusions, based, of course, on Scripture. I must say […]
SOME THOUGHTS ON THE MID-ACTS POSITION SOME THOUGHTS ON THE MID-ACTS POSITION The mid-Acts position is that the dispensation of the mystery began at Acts 9, or 13. I believe that the dispensation of the mystery began after Acts 28. Does it really make any difference as to when the dispensation of the mystery began? […]
WHAT DOES THE BIBLE TEACH ABOUT UNIVERSAL SALVATION? There are many Christians who believe that there will come a time when all men will be saved, regardless of whether they believed in Christ in this life or not. They believe that those who did not accept Christ will be raised for the great white […]
IS THERE MORE THAN ONE GOSPEL OF SALVATION? We read in John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life”. But Peter preached in Acts 3:19, “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be […]
