It has been some time since the last word study posting.  But there are some articles from the main web site under the tab "Articles", above.  You will find them interesting, as most include some word studies throughout.   On the main web site can be found numerous articles.  Links to them can be found on the articles index page.   We are in a day when everything points to the soon coming of our

Since adding the New Testament study of the word "coming," as in "Christ's Coming," I have come to learn about a very dangerous, erroneous teaching.  This "teaching" suggests that Christ has come "in us" and that He is not coming back to earth again, as the bible so clearly lays out.  Such teaching goes so far as to deny the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, and His coming as King of Kings and Lord

We are looking closely at the word “coming” as it occurs in reference to Christ’s coming. Two particular Greek words, which appear to be used when speaking of the “return” of our Lord, reveal a significant difference in meaning. Without knowing the definition of the Greek words used, most people would assume that the word “coming” in all verses actually means “coming,” as found in the English

When we see the close resemblance in the Greek words for brimstone and divine, it gives cause for pondering this passage which tells us God is a consuming fire: “Wherefore, receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have grace, whereby we may offer service well–pleasing to God with reverence and awe: for our God is a consuming fire. Let love of the brethren continue. Forget not to shew

Aside from the Name of Jesus there is probably not a more important word in the whole Bible than the word “truth.” When Jesus went to the Father after His resurrection, He gave us His Spirit – the Spirit of Truth – to lead us into all truth, as He promised. In 2 Thessalonians, Paul said that God would send strong delusion to those who received not the love of the truth that they might be saved.

After the completion of the New Testament study of the word “truth” it became apparent that a study must also be done on the word “liar.” At the fall of the first Adam [man], he was ‘fathered’ by Satan the father of lies. Self became enthroned in every person to be born after that first fallen man. As can be seen in many of the passages in this study, self’s opposition to God was common

What a wonderful joy it is to read through every New Testament passage that contains the word "kingdom," as well as other related words. If we read this study always cognizant of the fact that Jesus (not our flesh) must reign in life, we must surely come away built up in our inner man. Yes, there are references to human kings from both Old and New Testaments, but can we see, even in those,

This study includes the definitions of all Greek words translated as the word “truth,” and other related words, according to the King James Version to which Strong’s Concordance is keyed.  All quotes are from the English Majority Text Version and are more accurate, for the most part, than the KJV.  It has become apparent that there is no such thing as a perfect Bible translation.  Jesus came to

Jesus is coming soon, as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He is coming for a bride who is without spot or wrinkle, as the Apostle Paul told the Ephesians. But the bride cannot achieve such in her own strength. Only the Holy Spirit is able to make us holy. His presence is our holiness.As this study shows, “perfection” is not what we would normally assume. It too is impossible for man to achieve

Page One: In Exodus 15:26, the LORD (JEHOVAH) said that He is the one who heals. Yet, today, there are more people who believe it is the medical doctors to whom we should go for healing. This has been capitalized upon by the pharmaceutical companies that dispense chemicals to be ingested by the God-created body. Such a thing is completely against God’s plan, for He put in the earth the things we

Very often the use of a word in the Bible lends more to its true definition than does the definition as laid out by man. Such is the case in this study. The first definition shown is from Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of New Testament words. The second definition, for the same word (baptize), is taken from Thayer's.The passages where we find the words in this study give us a clear picture of

With “prophecies” abounding in these last days, we would be wise to remember Paul’s words to the Corinthians in this verse: “Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they shall pass away; whether there are tongues, they shall cease; whether there is knowledge, it shall pass away.” (1 Corinthians 13:8 EMTV) This study is a good companion piece for two recent articles on

This phrase has contributed in a great way to the hierarchical thinking that God has placed certain men to be in a place of authority over others in the Body of Christ. Anyone who has studied this with an open mind and an ear to the voice of the Holy Spirit has found that we are all equal in Christ Jesus. The truth reveals that rather than one "ruling over" another, God desires that we all

This study is a companion to the "Have the rule over" study. Both were prompted by the much abused passage in Hebrews 13:17 where we find the words, "Obey them that have the rule over you."This type of thinking comes from the KJV translators who seemingly agreed with the mistaken idea that God intends for His Son's Body to be established upon a hierarchical system. This is so far off from the "

This study is comprised of twenty different Greek words and how they are translated. Each one, in one way or another, includes the word “mind” in translation. While compiling the study I found some rich treasures, as is always the case. God’s Word is full of wonderful truths which can only be found through study, in my opinion. Word meanings and how they are translated gives us a greater

The extremely dangerous and erroneous doctrine of “universalism” is rampant today. Many have fallen for this apostate “ideal,” concocted by minds that are unwilling to accept the fact that God’s Love can never contradict the Truth His Son died to bring us. In this study, you will find many passages that shed light on areas the universalists have distorted to suit the devil in his campaign to

With all the religious adherence to the “Sabbath Day” in the apostate church, this comes as a refreshing and liberating glimpse into the heart of God who sent His Son to free us from self.

New Testament study of the word “lasciviousness” is a good companion study, along with the article “Disciple or Rebel – The Choice.” The prevalence of the word “flesh” throughout the Bible, and prevalence of its effect in the “church” of today, can be seen in the passages in this study. As the definition shows, the word translated “lasciviousness” is of uncertain derivation and a lot of

The Greek word translated “remission” was included in the “forgiveness” study. But with this study, I wish to enlarge on the use of “remission” in each of the listed references. Because of the enormous distortion in today’s presentation of the Gospel, it is necessary to make every tool available for those who desire to discover the truth. As in all Bible studies, I am quoting from the very old

The word “revival” cannot be found in the New Testament. The first Greek definition in this study uses the word “refreshing” – the closest we come to “revival”, the figurative meaning. It can be found once in the whole New Testament. This study is provided as an aid to be used when reading the article on “Revival”, which is coming soon. Check the “ekklesia4him News Corner” for its

A New Testament study of the word “bishop” also reveals a subtle insertion of words, suggesting that God has ordained that some of His children be “over” others. The word “hierarchy” defines this man-made system which has infiltrated the Body of Christ, for the most part reducing it to a Lifeless institution. Apostasy is increasing at an alarming rate, as Paul the Apostle warned in his letter

A New Testament study of the word "minister" or the phrase, “use the office of a deacon,” as found in the "authorized" KJV. This application is typical of the subtle suggestion, in various passages, which leaves the reader with the idea that God has ordained “hierarchy” in the Body of Christ. This could not be further from the truth, as can be seen in this study. If we compare all uses of “

The word “apostasy” is not found in the Bible, but the Greek word from which it is taken was translated as found in this study. It is a short study because of so few references to “falling away” or its synonyms. In spite of that fact, massive apostasy has infiltrated the Church. As Paul the Apostle said, this apostasy would occur before the second coming of Christ. As with previous studies, the

In this study, as in many others, the word “figuratively” must be taken into consideration if we are to understand what the Lord is saying through the written word. When it comes to this particular word study, all words relating to “fornication” in the New Testament are included because their use is often intended to point us to Christ and the relationship of the Bride to the Bridegroom.

This completes a series of studies that delve into the meanings and uses of words found in passages relating to the gospel message. The word "forgiveness" is used by many while understood by few.

I strongly encourage a study of those articles along with the companion word studies posted here and available in PDF.Most

The study of the word "repent" is essential if we are going to fully explore the present-day presentation of the "gospel." Studies on "judge," "love" and "sin" also provide insight for understanding the articles, "The Gospel According to Jesus" and "False Gospel - Exposed."I had said the next study would be on "forgiveness" but this one, being shorter, was completed first so here you have it.
