Jesus Christ’s Earthly Healing Miracles-Allegories of Salvation? “The blind receive sight and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.” Matt. 11:5  (1) “Dead are raised“–(The spiritually dead are made alive; regenerated); (2) “The blind see“–(Able to understand spiritual things; illuminated); (3) “The mute speak“–(Able to proclaim the saving Gospel); (4) The deaf hear” (Able to understand spiritual things, also able to physically hear the Gospel preached); (5) “Lepers are cleansed“–(Washed, made clean by the washing of the word of God); (6) “Demons are cast out“–(Snatched from the bondage and enslavement of Satan); (7) “The lame walk“–(Able to walk with the Lord in truth, able to do good works); (8) “The poor have the Gospel preached to them“–(The poor in spirit who oppressed by false religions, are granted to believe the good news of salvation through Christ Jesus);  (9) “Healing of the sick“–(Relieved from the heavy yoke of bondage put there by false religious systems....

10-1-15 Dear Friends of Truth!   How bad is it in America?  Let us take a look at the non-Christian media and the so-called common man’s reaction to the Pope’s visit to America.  In surfing through quotations of people who went to great extremes to simply have a look at the Pope we find some mind blowing comments.  One man boldly proclaimed that his curbside view of the Pope mobile was in fact the closest to God one could ever expect to get on earth!  Others burst into tears.  Others paraded around in a kind of euphoric hysteria.  Others pinned their hopes for everything on Pope Francis. Some came away awestruck.  The speaker of the House of Representatives resigned after crying during the Pope’s address to the Congress.  Others became dream-like and talked about love, joy, peace, happiness, and utopia.  It was sort of like a religious Woodstock to them.  Only something supernatural could have brought about America’s fawning, groveling, obsequious, and general sycophantic response to the Pope’s visit.  We do not think that the “something supernatural” was anything other than a broad burst of anti-Christ display of the powers of demonic darkness.  How else could we describe the nation’s servile swarming over someone who must only be described as “Platitude Rex”?  Obviously there was no mention of the gospel of Jesus Christ or the authority of the Word of God in the Pope’s address.  He is not capable of telling the truth of Christianity or giving a credible witness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  But to think that an entire nation could be taken in by a stream of platitudes, clichés, and banal bromides is an indication of the spiritual malaise that characterizes our nation.   Here are just three examples of his never-ending stream of applause grabbing insipidities:   “We, the people of this continent, are not fearful of foreigners, because most of us once were foreigners.” “Our efforts must aim at restoring hope, righting wrongs, maintaining commitments, and thus promoting the well-being of individuals and of peoples.” “To imitate the hatred and violence of tyrants and murderers is the best way to take their place.” Now consider all of those organizations, statements of faith, joint resolutions, and declarations signed by Evangelical leaders endorsing the RC religion.  Consider what they must be thinking while watching the sacrilegious Mass of the RC religion on national TV and listening to the ecumenical garbage spewed by Francis.  Where will the outcry against the Pope at Rome come from?  Ugh! How utterly contrary to the apostle Paul who reminds the church at Corinth of his visit:  “And when I came...

The Trinity (God the Father, God the Son-Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit) is entirely active, necessary, and essential, in bringing about  salvation.  Dr. James White, in his book, The Forgotten Trinity, defines the Trinity as this; “Within the one being that is God, there exists eternally three coequal and coeternal persons, namely, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.”   All true Christians recognize, accept, and embrace that truth; a truth which has been understood throughout church history.  Today, more than ever, Christians must ardently defend and proclaim this perspicuous and vital truth, found replete in the pages of holy Scripture; the Bible.  Apart from ignorance, to deny the existence of the Trinity (three distinct, but co-equal persons that make up the Godhead), is not Christian doctrine and considered heresy.                 Please ruminate on these four verses of Scripture extrapolated from the Bible; they validate the above paragraph.  Incidentally, there are literally hundreds of such verses in the Bible: “All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son, except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.  Matt. 11:27–emphasis added.                                                               “No one can come to Me (Jesus Christ), unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day.” John 6:44–emphasis added.  “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.”  (John 14:26–emphasis added).  Please note: if you consider pronouns, all three members of the Trinity are referenced.                                                                                                                                  “When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, He will bear witness of Me“,  John 15:26–emphasis added.  Please note: if you consider pronouns, all three members of the Trinity are referenced.   * James R.
