In the previous video, it was clearly demonstrated from the Gospels and early Christianity, that authentic faith was marked primarily by direct care for the poor, sick, hungry, and imprisoned. Throughout the Gospels, following Jesus was never reduced to holding correct doctrine alone. Faith in God mattered — but their faith was proven and embodied […]

What would you say is the prime identifying mark of a true Christian? What would Jesus say? Jesus certainly taught about the kingdom of God (Luke 4:43), repentance, and faith in God. But his teaching was always woven together with action: This was not side-work. It was the work. For religious groups today that wish […]
Recently the Watchtower organization uploaded a morning worship talk by governing body member Stephen Lett entitled: “Jehovah Alone is Wise”. While I agree with the title and the scripture he uses, I do not agree with his premise that following the direction given by the organization equates to following Jehovah. It amazes me that he […]

Did Jesus Use God’s Divine Name?
Many people today ask whether Jesus spoke God’s personal name—often represented as YHWH (sometimes rendered “Jehovah” or “Yahweh”). Some religious groups, primarily Jehovah’s Witnesses, say Jesus must have used it regularly and taught others to do the same.

Does Jehovah truly base salvation on organizational affiliation, or does He judge each person by the condition of the heart? In Revelation chapters 2 and 3, Jesus inspected seven congregations that differed sharply in faithfulness. Yet, instead of commanding individuals to get out of those problem congregations, he still held them in his right hand […]
Jehovah’s Witnesses are taught that only a special few (144,000) of them are anointed, which means specifically chosen by God to be adopted as his sons. One of their chief proof texts for this is Romans chapter 8 verses 14 and 15How does that teaching compare with what the verse actually says?
This video analyzes a morning worship talk by Peter Price entitled: “Happy Are Those Who Have Not Seen Yet Believe”. If we boil it all down, here’s the chain of reasoning in the talk:
Both internal and external evidence suggest that Revelation may have been written before Jerusalem’s destruction in 70 CE. If so, Babylon the Great—the “great city”—fits most naturally as symbolic of apostate Jerusalem rather than the broad, later concept of “false religion.”
This video examines statements from the book of Revelation itself in order to determine the time of writing, whether before or after the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 C.E.
