Genesis—Malachi are not the “Old Testament,” but rather “the Hebrew Scriptures,” and they were written in large part, if not primarily, for Jesus Christ. Each of these 39 “books” points to a different aspect of the life of the Redeemer of mankind and the Messiah to Israel. As we read many excerpts from Genesis-Malachi, we see: The bloodline of the …
THE INTEGRITY OF GOD’S WORD (Segment 2)
There is but one Author of Scripture, and that One is also the Author of Life. He has expended great effort to prove to us that His Word is what He says it is. Either the Bible is what it claims to be—the only “God-breathed” source of Truth and a manual for human living—or it is not. But how can …
SPIRITUAL GROWTH: THE FIVE BASICS (Segment 22 Pt1)
The Five Basics of Christianity: (1) Being in the Word (The Word being in you) (2) Prayer (Communication with God and Christ) (3) Functioning in the Body of Christ (Do your part) (4) Sharing your Faith (Somebody’s gotta do it) (5) Financial / Material Giving (Laugh it up!) __________________________ ONE DAY WITH THE CREATOR: Syllabus: https://thelivingtruthfellowship.org/pdf/ODWTC-Syllabus.pdf Brochure: https://thelivingtruthfellowship.org/pdf/ODWTC_Brochure.pdf __________________________ Biblically, …
THE LIFE IN GOD’S WORD (Segment 3)
Who is its Author? The Word contains as much of His autobiography as we need to know now. – 2 Timothy 3:16 and 17 Who is GOD? Let’s allow Him to answer for Himself. God had to name Himself because there was no one else to do it. Yahweh emphasizes His relationship to people. – Exodus 34:5 and 6 __________________________ …
THE PURPOSE OF GOD’S WORD (Segment 4)
One of the biggest lies propounded today is that “God is mysterious.” Atheists aren’t saying that as much as are Christians who lack answers to the honest questions people are asking. God gave us His Word so we can KNOW Him and LOVE Him, chiefly by knowing and loving the Lord Jesus, who is the subject of the Word. The …
THE PROMISES IN GOD’S WORD
How do you know if someone loves you? He keeps his Word! GOD keeps His WORD, which is made up of w-o-r-d-s. God does not (“cannot”—Titus 1:2) lie, like people do. Nor does he speak without making sense, as people do. Nor is He silent, as people often are. A PROMISE is a declaration, either written or verbal, that binds …
ERRORS IN UNDERSTANDING THE BIBLE (Segment 7 Pt1)
Why is there so much tradition in today’s Christianity? This is vital to grasp because if you currently hold “mainstream” Christian beliefs, you may be disconcerted when we show you one thing after another that is NOT what the Word actually says. Hey, Truth Seeker, you’ll love it, so hang in here, because you can document why there are so …
ERRORS IN UNDERSTANDING THE BIBLE (Segment 7 Pt2)
The Day Jesus Christ Died There is much traditional error about the last week of Christ’s life. It was Monday night when he was taken from Gethsemane, after which he was tortured and interrogated non-stop until Wednesday morning. He was crucified at 9 A.M. and died at 3 P.M. He was buried before sunset and rose from the dead on …
ERRORS IN UNDERSTANDING THE BIBLE (Segment 7 Pt3)
Errors in Transmission (copying in the same language) For there are three that bear record [in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth,] the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. – 1 John 5:7 and 8 (KJV) …
FOUNDATIONS IN GENESIS (Segment 9 Pt1)
The first three chapters of Genesis contain countless truths that lay the foundation for understanding much of God’s Word. Genesis and Revelation are bookends in that the book of Revelation shows the rectification and consummation of everything that went wrong in Genesis. __________________________ ONE DAY WITH THE CREATOR: Syllabus: https://thelivingtruthfellowship.org/pdf/ODWTC-Syllabus.pdf Brochure: https://thelivingtruthfellowship.org/pdf/ODWTC_Brochure.pdf __________________________ Biblically, financial giving is supposed to be …
