The Cross 101

Why the cross? One of the greatest philosophers ever stated that "Perhaps the deity can forgive sins, but I don't see how?"

What great insight to the enigma of a righteous and holy God to be reconciled to sinful man. God had a problem. His holiness cannot allow sin. Sin is transgression against Gods law.

²⁰ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

Truth 101

"What is truth?" Pontius Pilate, Jerusalem 33 AD.

³³ Then Pilate entered the Praetorium again, called Jesus, and said to Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?"

³⁴ Jesus answered him, "Are you speaking for yourself about this, or did others tell you this concerning Me?"

³⁵ Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered You to me. What have You done?"

                  Israel 101

What is all the big deal with the Middle East and Israel? This is the visual manifestation of the battle of the two seeds. The seed of the serpent, (the world) and the seed of the woman (Jesus). The tiny nation of Israel is the backdrop of world history where God will work out His final plan for salvation and judgment upon all unrighteousness.

God chose a man of an idol worshipping culture in ancient Iraq (Chaldeans) in Mesopotamia. God called this man out of a dumb idol worshipping nation and he became the father of all who will be faithful.

Jesus 101

Jesus is the whole of the bible. He is God and He is what all of prophecy is about. That is where we start. Jesus is the cornerstone of the church He is the alpha and omega, He is the first and the last. Outside of Christ there is NO salvation. He is the whole of prophecy and when you don't understand something, put Jesus in the middle of that question and see what happens.

What did Jesus say about Himself...I will only mention three here.

PROPHECY 101

Does prophecy scare you? I have learned from many people that are both Christians who attend church weekly, too people who look to the National Enquire about prophecy. People are scared of prophecy. You can watch the news and you know something is wrong and you feel future events will be horrific. Prophecy study is not so much about looking into a crystal ball as it is about seeing God is in ultimate control over the events of history.
