『 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 』 Why is Satan the king of this world? (John 1: 1-3). Jesus Christ was with God before the creation of the world, who is God, who was born before all, and created all things. Most church people agree that Jesus Christ is the Creator. Why is Satan the king of this world? Jesus says in John (12:31) that Satan is king of this world.   『 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. 』 It is also said in John (14:30). 『 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. 』 , 『 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. 』 (John 18:36) Eve...

『 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes. Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. B...

『 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; 』 (Luke 12: 33-34) With this title, you may hear some churches say that it is good to make many offerings. But this is not the meaning of "make a lot of offerings." In the Old Testament, "to give something to God" means "to be destroyed before God." "The beast is burned to death." 『 beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 』 (Romans 12: 1) To give to God is to be destroyed before God. What is offered to God is distinct. The distinction is to be holy before God. In the Old Testament, all that was offered to God were not burned and stored in a storehouse called "Annual". To give to God is to burn. It is death, as Jesus Christ died. Tithing also means looking to Jesus Christ. A...

『 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 』 (Romans 6: 6). The old man was crucified with Jesus. The old man means the body of sin, sinfulness (original sin). This is to die. But not many believe that sinfulness dies, for it is almost impossible to die in the eyes of the flesh. This is the grace that God bestows upon those who repent. The ten spies who said, "If we enter Canaan, we die," and those who believed it would have no choice but to believe in the eyes of the flesh.   All who believed the words of the ten spies died in the wilderness. Only Joshua and Caleb said, "If we enter Canaan, we can take possession of the land." God was angry at Numbers (14:11). 『 And the LORD said unto Moses , How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them? 』 That day, ten spies died. ...

『 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. 』 (Matthew 5: 25-26) Satan is always accused. Satan accuses sinners through the law of God. God's law is the law of wrath. In order for Satan to sue a sinner, there must be a basis for law. 『 Agree with 』 This is how to avoid suing. In Luke, "strive for reconciliation" means "free from law." 『 So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them. 』 (Acts 19:12) 『 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 』 (Hebrews 2:15) "deliver" means "reconciled." If we reconcile wi...

  『 But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem : but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus. 』 (Acts 18:21). This Bible has different kjv and niv. The following is not available in Niv (new international version). 『 I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem 』   When the Apostle Paul traveled, he moved through the seasons, not the solar calendar or the date of the calendar. The story of Acts (chapter 20) is three years older than the story of (chapter 18). 『 And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days. 』 (Acts 20: 6) 『 For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost. 』 (Acts 20:16) What day was the apostle Paul told the Jews three yea...
