Bible Commentary
This is a collection of articles covering a vast variety of biblical topics. The goal of each article is to simply reveal the truth. We look into the Old Testament law, clean foods, parables, freewill, predestination, and death - to name a few.
One of the inherent problems with the New Testament is that the reader does not know the questions asked. We are only provided the response the writer, often Paul, which was sent to the congregation. It is similar to hearing one side of a phone call. We review several Scriptures in great detail to determine exactly what the writer was addressing.

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. Yet another belief is that we enter into “soul sleep”, a form of unconsciousness, awaiting the final Day of Judgment. To know the truth, we will review the Scripture to see which view is supported by the word of God.

This commentary on Galatians explains Paul's position on the Law (Torah) and shows why he was NOT invalidating the Law of God. This article helps to explain many of Paul’s apparently contradictory statements regarding the Law. As you will see, Paul was preaching against a legalistic form of Judaism, not against the Law of Moses itself.
