“You Will Not Surely Die!” – Jim Franks lifehopeandtruth.com
At some point we all face and wonder what happens after death. Most accept without question that what they are taught comes from scripture. That is “we are an immortal soul that at death lives on eternally in heaven or in hell.” What most don’t realize is this belief predates the first coming of Jesus, having its origins in paganism. It can arguably be traced…
THIS Happens After Death? tomorrowsworld.org
What really happens after death? When a person dies, they are no longer alive – in any sense. The dead know nothing. The Bible does not say that we have an immortal soul that goes to heaven or hell at death. Indeed, Christ Himself said that no one has ascended to heaven. So how do we have hope? Because the Bible promises that everyone who…
Source of Morality vision.org
Morality seems to be as unattainable as truth these days. This article sets out to explain why that is and the ultimate reason for it. The example set forth in this article was specific to the time in which it was written but the conclusions are the same for whatever time you find yourself. I think the author stated it best when he concluded: “Until…
What is the "rapture"? thebiblesaysthat.com
Many Christian sects promote the idea of a “secret rapture.” However, the idea that Christ will quietly snatch away believers before He returns cannot be found in the scriptures. The Bible says that Jesus Christ’s return will be announced with shouts, trumpet blasts and flashes of light. The whole world will know of His arrival. Only after this unmistakable event will Christians be taken up….
God of Anger or God of Love? – Brian Orchard vision.org
Much is often said about the harsh God of the Old Testament and the gentle Christ in the New Testament. Are there indeed examples of a God endorsing sexism and racism threaded throughout the Bible?
Is the Holy Spirit a Person? ucg.org
The teaching of the Trinity (i.e. that the Holy Spirit is a divine person) is not in the Bible. That idea arrived after the Bible was complete and stems from pagan origins. Rather than describing the Holy Spirit as a distinct person or entity, the Bible refers to it as God’s divine power. Jewish and Catholic scholars agree that the Bible speaks of the Holy…
Whiter Than Snow – Jeremy Lallier sabbaththoughts.com
King David’s story is a case study in the peaks and valleys of dedicated obedience to God and the brutal realities of sin. Being willing to face his sins was one of his strengths. He acknowledged his disobedience and repented, but he also understood grace, the path to complete forgiveness which leads to a right relationship with God.
Finding Peace of Mind – J. Davy Crockett III tomorrowsworld.org
What if you could find, in one place, a guidebook to solve all the problems in the world? Would you read it? Or are things too scary and stressful? Do you just want to hide from it all? The Bible has been interpreted many times, in different ways, by many people, but have you ever read it for yourself to actually understand it? It offers…
Timeline of Easter / Passover tomorrowsworld.org
This is one of those subjects that becomes clearer with a visual aid. There is a lot of confusion around Good Friday, Easter, and Jesus being dead 3 days and 3 nights. As one will see in this 7 min video, the only sign given that Jesus is the Christ did happen as described without the verbal gymnastics required to make the pagan traditions work….
What Is God Really Like? – John Ogwyn tomorrowsworld.org
So many religions, so many conflicting views about God. And what about the Trinity? If there are so many differing versions of God, how can you know which one is true? There is a definitive authoritative work that reveals the truth, the very book inspired by God himself wherein He reveals himself, reveals the Son and the truth about the Holy Spirit. The Bible is…
Proof of God – Rick Avent lifehopeandtruth.com
In uncertain times we want answers. We want to know what is true and how to build a solid foundation. God provides that foundation, but how do we even know that He exists? What proof is there that God is who He says He is? There is a logical path to believing in the existence of God. Don’t be afraid to explore that path and…
The Purpose of the Sabbath sabbath.org
The Bible asks its adherents to keep the 7th day of the week (Saturday) “holy” as a time of rest and reflection on the word of God. God created the Sabbath for the benefit of human-kind from the beginning. Only He has the authority to designate what time is holy, and the Bible is clear and consistent on this instruction. Why? Because the Sabbath day…
What is Repentance? – Darris McNeely ucg.org
What is true repentance? Is it feeling badly about what you’ve done wrong? Is it just a matter of saying you’re sorry? What does God really say about repentance? Yes, it is an acknowledgement of wrong doing, but it takes the next step which is a commitment to not repeat the mistake, to not repeat the offense. With a committed turn to right living, a…
The Bible and Archaeology ucg.org
Can you trust the Bible as authoritative? It has long been considered so, but in recent centuries its accuracy was challenged. Biblical archaeology compares the findings of archaeology to the writings of the Bible. Many scholars deemed the Bible of little historical or religious merit and science in general has grown biased against it. Yet even famous scholars of the early 20th century, after careful…
This Body of Death – Ted E. Bowling cgg.org

Prove Evolution Is False Without the Bible – Mario Seiglie ucg.org
At school the theory of evolution is taught in science class. To doubt or question it can often result in being the object of ridicule. But is it okay to just accept a theory of science because it is the “typical” explanation for the origin of life in this day and age? Is the theory of evolution infallible? How can you effectively question that theory…
