"I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel."

The danger of not studying the Book of Revelation
Jesus pronounced a blessing on those who read the Book of Revelation Rev 1:3, but many people do not read the Bible at all. Of those who do, many find the Book of Revelation too difficult to read and give up, far less to study it. So why should they read and study it, and …

Reformation from blind faith
The 16th-century European Reformation was a reformation from the blind faith expected by Roman Catholicism. Blind faith is believing something because someone else has said it, rather than examining the evidence for oneself. It is encouraged by dogmaticians, who regularly use "proof by assertion" to "establish" their point. Instead of believing what the Roman Catholic …
Roman Jesuitism
This morning, the world's media focussed on the Roman Catholic funeral mass, known as a Requiem Mass, for Francis, the recently deceased and the first former-Jesuit to become pope in Rome. Roman Jesuitism was much in evidence to those who could recognize it. Presiding Roman cardinal Giovanni Battista Re read a homily saying that the …
Where is GB News going?
I have been supportive of GB News. Without it, the nation would be less informed because the mainstream media, like the national churches, are failing the nation. It has won several awards and news presenters like Nigel Farage, who has won the TRIC awards Presenter of the Year for the second year running, have developed …
The failure of Gentile Christianity

Meanwhile, why has Gentile Christianity failed to convert the world? It has been successful in what the Lord called it to. It has evangelized the world Mat 28:18-20, making disciples of all ethnic …
Roman dogma

In the not-too-distant past, Scotland celebrated the New Year more than christmas until commercialisation took over, …
What is a Christian?
A Christian is the term describing a person who has been baptized as a disciple of Jesus Christ into the Christian church. Jesus Christ had disciples, literally meaning 'a student', some of whom were in due course baptized as His disciples Jn 4:1-2. The Jews were disciples of Moses Jn 9:28 and John the Baptist …
Christian discipleship baptism
Christian Baptists teach “believer's baptism”, that one should only baptize those who profess faith in Jesus Christ as their Saviour. In practice, this means that they baptize adults and do not baptize infants. The problem with this is that the Bible does not teach this. A second problem is that these Baptists baptize only Christians …
Matthew 24v24
A Canadian friend asked me how Matthew 24:4 applies in our day. "For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and they shall give great signs and miracles, and in this manner to deceive if it was possible even the elect." Jesus Christ: Matthew 24:24 This follows Jesus' command: "Jesus answered and said to …
