The purpose of this article -to orient each Christian as to his position in and his responsibility to the revelation which God has given to the Church, particularly in view of Christendom today.

u The Rock
The purpose of this study is to determine from Scriptural evidence what is meant by the term - 'this rock'. When we arrive at a definite conclusion from Scripture, as to who the 'rock.' Christ is speaking of in Matthew 16:18, we will then have our answer.

u It is time Roman Catholics asked...
WHY has the Roman Catholic church removed the second commandment, which deals with idolatry, from the Ten Commandments in its catechisms?

Firstly, consider the form of the rosary. It is 10 repetitions of the 'Hail Mary.' What did our Lord say about repetitious prayer?

u Prayer - not repetition
Prayer is the privilege when we touch the heart of the Father through the Son of God, Jesus our Lord.

u Hail Mary in the light of Scripture
In the 'rosary,' ten prayers are said to Mary for every one that is said to God the Father. In other words, Mary is pre-eminent ten to one over God! Mary is referred to as the 'mother of the church,' 'the second eve,' 'the queen of heaven. ' The queen of the universe,' 'co-redemptrix,' 'co-mediator,'...

u The World of Buddhism
Today the body of Buddha lies in a grave in Kusinara, at the foot of the Himalaya Mountains. The facts of life after death still remain an unsolved mystery in Buddhism.

u Jehovah Witnesses - John 1 : 1
This is one of the most common verses of contention between the Jehovah's Witnesses and Christians.

Therefore, since they deny that Jesus is divine, they have altered the Bible in John 1:1 so that Jesus is not divine in nature.

Examine their doctrine enshrined in their own publications with the Word of God.

u Jehovah Witnesses - False Prophesies
If they are the only true church and are the only true voice of God's word, then what they say should prove to be true, especially in prophecy. When it comes to predicting the future, the Watchtower organization fails miserably.

THE BIBLE & SCIENCE
In the beginning (time) God created (energy) the heavens (space) & the earth (matter). Genesis 1: 1

u The Creator God of the Bible
Many people wrongly place the creation of the world into the category of a 'Once upon a time’ narrative, or even a fable, without stating a valid reason for this assumption.

u How much does God control?
Such people argue that the amount of pain and suffering in the world proves that if God is good He's not all-powerful, and that if He's all-powerful He isn't good.

u Jesus Christ and the infallibility of Scripture
Jesus never belittled Scripture (as some modern critics do), or set it aside (as the Jewish leaders of His day had done with their Oral Traditions), or criticized it (although He criticized those who misused it), or contradicted it.

If He wasn’t speaking on behalf of our Creator, then He was either a very sick or evil man.
