Are the Dead Conscious or Asleep?
Last Updated: June 1, 2009
This article uncovers many of the lies of our Adversary (Satan) which cloud our understanding of what happens after we die in the flesh. One belief is that we go immediately to heaven to be with our loved ones. Some believe that we are placed in purgatory or a similar area waiting for judgment.

To know the truth, we will review the Scripture to see which view is supported by the word of God.

Last Updated: July 18, 2010

Last Updated: December 22, 2009

Last Updated: March 13, 2010
In the Tanakh (Old Testament), blessings for obedience and punishments for disobedience were prescribed for God's chosen people, the 12 tribes of Israel (collectively known as the House of Israel and the House of Judah). Due to their sins, the House of Israel (also known as Ephraim) was removed from the Holy Land by Assyria in 722 BCE exactly as God foretold.

This article examines the startling scriptural evidence for the true identity of these witnesses.
What is Death?
Last Updated: April 7, 2009
This article reviews the biblical definition of death, being cut off from God spiritually. Satan, the father of all lies, has deceived Adam and his successors, mankind, for thousands of years.

Who is Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach)?
Last Updated: October 25, 2009
This study examines what the Scriptures have to say about Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah. There was great debate in the early church regarding who he was and how he fit into the Godhead. Thousands of years later the water is muddier and more confusing than ever. Most Christians would be surprised to learn that what they call the Trinity was actually termed Modalism in the 2nd century and was considered heresy by the Catholic fathers. We must worship God in spirit and in truth, making an understanding of this topic of paramount importance.
Who Is The "Destroyer"?
Last Updated: August 16, 2009

Last Updated: April 8, 2009
The oneness of God is probably the most misunderstood topic in Christianity. Yet it is arguably one of the most important. One of Christianity's foundational beliefs is the Trinity.

This study turns to the Scripture for understanding, allowing the Bible to teach us rather than the traditions of man.
