Rabbi
But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. Matthew 23:8 (KJV) Rabbi – I just listened to short video where a pastor of a church makes the claim that Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, the author of the bestseller The Harbinger, is a false teacher because he…

Ineffective Prescriptions
And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. Matthew 17:16 (KJV) Cure – In the book Jehuda Halevi by Isaak Heinemann, an interesting metaphor is made describing those men, who meaning to do good, set out to do it on their own terms and not necessarily according to divine ordinances.…

No ‘Buts’ About It
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. John 1:17 (KJV) But – We’ve stumbled upon another word added by the translators. The word “but” is not in the original Greek text, but it sure does help those with the paradigm that the old law is separate from…

Judging Others
Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and behold, the log is in your own eye? Matthew 7:4 (NASB) Speck, log – There’s an interesting relationship here. At first we instantly notice that a speck is tiny and the log, or beam, is quite large.…

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. Acts 2:1 (KJV) Pentecost – It’s the name we Christians are most familiar with. Pentecost literally means “the 50th day”, but do we understand what it’s referring to here? Yes, Pentecost is the day that God poured…

The New Testament Page
The New Testament page – almost every Bible includes one, right? We need to know when the old stuff stopped and the new stuff began so we can be sure not to taint ourselves with the old, and reserve those only as children’s stories. Am I right?

When Words Get Added
For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. Hebrews 8:7 (KJV) Covenant – Does the word “covenant” show up in your Bible for this verse? Is it italicized, or noted somehow? You should know it’s been added by the translators and doesn’t appear in any…

Thanksgiving
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. Philippians 4:6 (NASB) Thanksgiving – How many times have we gone before God, kneeled down, and began asking for things? This happens to me all the time. Immediately I petition those around me to…
