Acts 15 — Part 1

Posted on by

Are Christians required to keep the Law of Moses? If someone were to ask you this question, how would you answer? If Christians are required to keep the Law of Moses, what does that mean? If they are not, what does that mean?

This very question was a thorny one for the early Church, and it led to considerable controversy. It has remained a key question among those calling themselves Christian ever since then.

Did the decision of the Church recounted in Acts 15 negate the requirement that Christians must obey God’s commandments? Are Christians free to sin with impunity, based on the results of this conference? And if not, what is the controversy about and what are the ramifications of the decision made?

Learn from the Bible the answers to these questions.

Whose World is It?

Posted on by

Many people assume that this is God’s world, that God is fully in control, and that all that happens in the world is in accordance with God’s will. But the reality of the situation is not quite that straightforward or simple.

Some have wondered, “How can I be a part of the true Church of God?” I want to answer that question in this article.

Why Keep the Sabbath?

Posted on by

Most professing Christian Churches keep Sunday as their day of worship. Have you ever stopped to ask why? Where in the Bible is Sunday commanded to be kept as a weekly day of rest and worship?

If you keep the Sabbath on the day commanded by God for it to be kept, the seventh day of the week, according to the sacred calendar, the way God counts days as recorded in Scripture, has anyone ever asked you why you keep it as noted? Would you be able to give a clear explanation?

Why should Christians keep  the Sabbath, the real Sabbath, the Biblical Sabbath?  Indeed,the Sabbath was made at the time God refashioned the earth as a habitation for life, and made the first human beings, as recounted in the first two chapters of Genesis, and it was made not only for the Jews, none of whom existed at the time, but for man (mankind; Mark 2:27). So from that standpoint, everyone should be keeping it. Investigate with us what the Bible itself reveals about  this question.
