GOD’S PLAN OF REDEMPTION IS THE SAME FOR EVERYONE By: Darrell Cooper God’s plan of redemption is 100% the same for everyone on the planet. If you end up lost in Hell, it will be because you chose not to follow God’s plan and joined the church of your choice and went by another plan which Satan inspired mankind to come up with. Jesus gave us God’s plan in his final revelation to man, that the Holy Spirit inspired to be written down and preserved in the New Testament for us to go by. It...Continue reading

Book of Ephesians
BOOK OF EPHESIANS By: Randy Kea The book of Ephesians is an essay on the New Testament church. As you study this remarkable epistle of Paul, three fundamental facts emerge concerning the church. First, the church is singular in number. In Ephesians 4:4, Paul says in no uncertain terms, “There is one body.” In Chapter One, he has already established the fact that the “church” and the “body” are the same: “. . . the church, which is His body . . .” (Ephesians 1:22-23) Secondly, Paul’s letter to the Ephesians clearly teaches that Jesus...
Is There Present Day Revelation from God?
IS THERE PRESENT DAY REVELATION FROM GOD? By: Randy Kea Much of the confusion, in the religious world today, has resulted from the fact that many (if not most) religious groups and their leaders claim direct present-day revelation from God. In contradiction and contrast to this claim, the New Testament of Christ claims to be God’s full, complete, authoritative, and final revelation from God. God gave His word to Christ: “For I have not spoken of Myself; but the Father which sent me, He gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I...Continue reading
First Century Church in the 21st Century
FIRST CENTURY CHURCH IN THE 21ST CENTURY By: Randy Kea Can we have the first century church in the 21st century? Reproducing and duplicating New Testament Christianity in our day is not only possible, but absolutely essential if we would please God. It is possible to be a member of the same church that Jesus built over 2000 years ago and that Paul, Peter, Philip, John, Stephen, and thousands of others were members of. The Bible, the word of God, is the basis for this possibility (II Timothy 3:16-17; Matthew 24:35). Let us note...
Why Did Jesus Die on the Cross?
WHY DID JESUS DIE ON THE CROSS? By: Randy Kea Why exactly did Jesus die on the cross? There are several scriptural reasons: First, we note that it was God’s plan for Jesus to die on the cross. In fact, it was a matter of Old Testament prophecy (Matthew 27:35; Isaiah 53: Luke 24:44-47). Jesus himself foretold of His own death time and time again (Matthew 16;21; 20:17-19; Mark 8:31; 9:31; 10:33-34; Luke 9:22; 18:31-33). Jesus died on the cross to abolish the Old Testament Law (Ephesians 2:14-16; Colossians 2:14-16). We now live and...
Be Not Deceived
BE NOT DECEIVED By: Randy Kea Jesus said, “Take heed that no man deceive you.” (Matthew 24:4) In Matthew 7:15 the Lord warned, “Beware of false prophets.” He further instructed His disciples, “Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.” (Matthew 15:13) The apostle Paul would later write about those who would by their smooth words and flattering speech, “deceive the hearts of the simple.” (Romans 16:18). John also warned that “many false prophets are gone out into the world.” (I John 4:1) The Bible speaks and warns of...
Some are Rewriting the Bible
SOME ARE REWRITING THE BIBLE By: Randy Kea The above sentiment is not anything new. In fact, as soon as you open the Bible and start reading it, you read the account in Genesis 3 where Satan, through the instrumentality of the subtle serpent, re-writes the word of God in order to deceive and lead astray Eve. In Gen 2:16-17 the first recorded revelation of God to man is: “And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat, but of the tree of the knowledge...Continue reading
