The Contender Vol 33 No 7

When the Law would say, Thou shalt not kill, as long as we did not go out and bash somebody’s head in, then we could not be condemned as a murderer, but we still remained the same old person with an inherited nature to sin. Therefore if something has not changed that old nature of mine, then I can hate that man that did me wrong and wish that something bad would happen to him.

I WANT TO GO INTO A MESSAGE WE WILL TITLE “LAW V/S GRACE,” BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH MISUNDERSTANDING BETWEEN VARIOUS GROUPS WHO RECEIVE OUR MESSAGES. NATURALLY WE GENTILES HAVE NEVER LIVED UNDER THE LAW GIVEN TO MOSES, BUT WE DO HAVE RESPECT FOR IT, KNOWING IT EXPRESSES THE MIND OF GOD AS HE WAS DEALING WITH A PEOPLE WHO WERE STILL LOOKING FORWARD TO A DELIVERER. IT SETS FORTH TYPES POINTING TO THE DELIVERER THAT WAS TO COME AND IT ALLOWS US TO GAIN UNDERSTANDING OF THE WAY GOD LOOKS AT THE THINGS WE DO, SAY AND ALLOW, BECAUSE GOD HIMSELF DOES NOT CHANGE. HIS STANDARD OF RIGHT AND WRONG, AND OF HOLINESS IN THE LIVES OF BELIEVERS REMAINS THE SAME THROUGHOUT ALL TIME. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF WHETHER WE WILLINGLY DO THE THINGS THAT WE KNOW HE IS PLEASED WITH, OR WHETHER WE ARE SUBJECTED TO A LAW THAT FORCES US TO DO THOSE THINGS. THEREFORE I ASK THAT YOU WOULD LISTEN TO, OR READ THE MESSAGE PRAYERFULLY, AND ALLOW THE SPIRIT OF GOD TO DEAL WITH YOUR UNDERSTANDING.

Throughout this series, Rev. James Allen has been reviewing the scriptural support for the doctrine commonly known as annihilationism, and showing how scripture shows us that the damned in hell will eventually cease to exist. In the last edition Bro. Allen began to leave his title subject and started to review topics which have been attacked by critics. He finished by looking into Isaiah 4, and in this edition, he picks up looking at the three days of Hosea 6 before returning to his subject of Hell Is Not Eternal.

Bro. Allen ended the last edition in Romans 8 speaking about how we are joint heirs with Christ, and also looking at the 144,000. He is picking up here where he left off.

What are the seven parables of Matthew 13? Why has Jesus listed them in this order and why are only seven parables listed here? This great chapter in Matthew consists of only seven small parables yet in order to understand them in the light our Lord projected them we must first get the thought he had in mind. These words spoken by our Lord in parable form were spoken as much as 60 years before the Book of Revelation was written or even conceived in the mind of John the Revelator while a prisoner on the Isle of Patmos.

WHAT ASTOUNDING CLUE, REVEALED IN REVELATION 11:2, DEALING WITH A PRECISE, ALLOTTED 42 MONTHS PERIOD, INDICATES WHEN ISRAEL’S 3RD TEMPLE SHOULD BE ERECTED? FURTHERMORE, WHAT DID GOD REVEAL THROUGH ZECHARIAH & HAGGAI, HIS TWO (2ND) TEMPLE RESTORATION PROPHETS IN 512 B.C. CONCERNING A LATTER HOUSE AS WELL AS TWO MIGHTY PROPHETS BEING ON THE SCENE WHEN ISRAEL REBUILDS HER TEMPLE? WHY WERE THESE TWO PROPHETS SINGLED OUT TO REVEAL SUCH AN ASTOUNDING PROPHECY CONCERNING A 3RD HOUSE?

As their name implies, VLSI systems involve the integration of various component systems. While all of these components systems are rooted in semiconductor manufacturing, they involve a broad range of technologies. This volume of the Principles and Applications of Engineering series examines the technologies associated with VLSI systems, including

SAINTS: I JUST WANT TO ASK YOU A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS TO SORT OF PROVOKE YOUR THINKING, BEFORE WE ACTUALLY GO INTO THIS VERY IMPORTANT SUBJECT WE HAVE CHOSEN TO DEAL WITH. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE GODHEAD? DO YOU KNOW WHY JESUS HAD TO BE PERFECT MAN, IN ORDER TO FULFILL HIS PURPOSE UPON EARTH? DO YOU BELIEVE HE WAS PERFECT IN EVERY WAY? WHAT MADE HIM A PERFECT MAN, AND WHAT MADE HIM GOD INCARNATE? WE INTEND TO ANSWER EVERY ONE OF THESE QUESTIONS, AND MANY, MANY MORE, GOING ALL THE WAY FROM THE FIRST CHAPTER OF GENESIS, TO THE LAST CHAPTER OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION, JUST ALLOWING THE HOLY GHOST TO MAKE THE SUBJECT INTERESTING AND BENEFICIAL TO US.
