John 2:5 – Mary’s Only Command

Mary, the Mother of Jesus, gave only one command; and if we follow it, we will be doing well: “Do whatever He tells you” (John 2.5).

John – Pisteuo

| March 27, 2013

If “worship” is a verb then we can’t worship unless we are doing something as an action of worship; and if “believe” is a verb, then we can’t believe unless we are doing something as an action of believe. Both worship and believe are verbs. Are we defining them properly by our lives?

Mark 1:1; John 1:1

| January 23, 2013

The gospel of Mark is part of the Synoptic Gospels, Matthew, Luke, and Mark. But his introduction is more like John’s than his fellow synoptists.

John 4:24 – Worship in Spirit and Truth

| January 20, 2013

The Law of Christ is love, not that love is the only law, but love is every law. If the only command today is “love,” and we are “free” to worship however because God left it up to us to define how to show perfect love, wouldn’t that mean we are perfect, and full of […]

John 1:1-5,14 – A Satantic Paraphrase

| January 12, 2013

In the beginning was the Devil, and the Devil was against God, and the Devil was a god. He was against God in the beginning. All things evil were made through him, and apart from him nothing evil came into being. Death was in him, and that death was the darkness of men. The darkness […]

When Jesus was born, myrrh was given as a gift (Mt 2.11). When Jesus was crucified, they tried to give Him a drink mixed with myrrh (Mk 15.23). When Jesus died, myrrh was used to bury Him (Jn 19.39). Even in the birth of Jesus we see foreshadowed His death.

John 13:1 – Agape Love

| November 20, 2012

If agape love is “to seek the best” then love is 1) a purposed action; 2) based upon divine knowledge that discriminates between bad from good and good from best; 3) that separates and sacrifices self from the other for the other. It is a verb based upon a noun; an outward action founded upon […]
