* Our newest article is A030: "When is the Spring Equinox?"
A001: The Doctrine of Justification | Discusses the meaning of justification and also how a person is declared innocent in the Most High's "courtroom." Takes a look at the person and work of Yeshua, and how one must have faith in him in order to be made right with the Father.
A002: The Lord's Supper | What really is the Lord's Supper and how often should a person partake of it? This study also includes a detailed look into whether or not Yeshua's last meal was the Passover.
A003: Unity and Division | There are good reasons for division and bad reasons for division. It is important that we understand how to distinguish between the two.
A004: Understanding Colossians 2:16 | An often misunderstood Scripture is Colossians 2:16. Reasons for misunderstanding the text stem from disregarding the context and life setting of the authors time.
A005: Is Wearing Jewelry Sinful? | Some denominations in Christianity believe it is a sin or at least wrong or worldly to wear jewelry. This study looks at all of Scripture to determine if this is the truth.
A006: The Sign of Jonah | Was our Messiah in the tomb for 72 hours? What does Matthew 12:40 really mean? Did Yeshua rise from the dead on the first day of the week or on the Sabbath?
A007: Wearing Fringes Under the New Covenant | Should believers in Messiah don tassels on the four corners of their garments? What in world are tassels anyway?
A008: Yeshua vs. Jesus | Takes a look at what name we should call our Messiah by. Also delves into the topic of whether or not the name Jesus is a derivation from pagan worship.
A009: Let US Make Man | What did God mean when He used the plural pronoun "us" in Genesis 1:26? Examines the Trinitarian argument.
A010: Is the Full Moon the New Moon? | Some believers have chosen to view the new moon as being the time when the moon is full of light. Is this the Scriptural definition?
A011: Outward Appearance | An examination of certain Pentecostal standards. Discusses subjects as modesty, jewelry, and cosmetics from both the Old and New Testament writings.
A012: Are You Keeping the Sabbath? | Many groups "squabble" over when the Sabbath is to be kept, but this study asks them all if they are really observing the Sabbath properly.
A013: How Holy is the New Moon? | Is the day of the new moon only to be recognized or is there more holiness to be attributed to the day?
A014: Are Tattoos Sinful? | A short study that takes a look into the fad of printing permanent markings on ones body. Does the Almighty even have anything to say about such a practice?
A015: Bonnets and Head Coverings for Men | While many groups have focused on the issue of head coverings for women, most have not take a look at the men. What does Scripture teach here?
A016: Wives With Unbelieving Husbands | How should a woman married to an unbelieving man act towards him? This is a short, one page study for women in this position.
A017: Should We Worship on the First Day of the Week? | This study stems from an encounter I had with a professing Christian who believed strongly that Christians should practice corporate worship on day 1 of the 7 day week. Can this be Scripturally substantiated?
A018: How Do We Give to the Eternal? (by Richard Tafoya & Norman S. Edwards) | This article takes an in-depth look at tithing. It will challenge you to think Scripturally on the subject.
A019: Divine Agency in the Scriptures (by David Burge) | So much is missed in understanding Scripture if we do not realize the principle of agency. Yahweh accomplishes tasks through messengers that are at times spoken of as if they were Yahweh Himself.
A020: Elohim and Echad (by Lindsey Killian) | Have you ever heard that the Hebrew words elohim and echad are actually plural words? If you have heard this or if you believe this then this study is for you.
A021: Yahshua: The End of the Law (by Voy Wilks) | A short one page study on the understanding of what the Bible means when it says that the Messiah is the end of the law (Romans 10:4).
A022: Is Yeshua the Messiah Almighty Yahweh? | This is a written debate between myself and a Roman Catholic apologist, John Martignoni.
A023: Bind Them As a Sign | Is the commandment concerning the hand and the forehead (Deuteronomy 6:4-9) to be taken literally or figuratively?
A024: Yahweh's Calendar: Lunar or Solar? | In our attempts to follow the original, Biblical calendar should we look to the moon or should we look the the sun?
A025: Think Before You Eat | A short tract (printable) that challenges believers in Christ to take a second look at the dietary laws in Scripture. Have they really been abolished?
A026: The Custom of Christmas | A short tract (printable) that takes a brief look into the American holiday known today as Christmas. Is it really the birthday of the Messiah?
A027: Should a Woman Cover Her Head? | A short tract (printable) that looks at 1 Corinthians 11 regarding a covering for women. Is the covering the long hair or a veil? Is the covering for today or was it just a custom?
A028: Do You Know Him? | A short tract (printable) that focuses in on the name we should call our Creator. Words such as God and Lord are not the personal name of the heavenly Father.
A029: Has Biblical Law Been Abolished? | A short tract (printable) challenging all Bible believers to take another look at whether that must be commandment keepers. New Testament verses are used.
A030: When is the Spring Equinox? | Much confusion looms over when to begin Yahweh's new year according to His calendar time keeping principles. There are some who watch for "aviv" barley in Jerusalem Israel, some who watch for a "bowl shaped crescent moon," and others who calculate from the spring equinox. If you are an "equinox proponent" in this debate, how do you determine the spring equinox? (Also see the sermon page of this site for sermon #349 | When is the Spring Equinox?)
