“Lord, what about him?”

Jesus answered, “If I want him to live until I come back, that is not your business. You follow me.”

So a story spread among the followers that this one would not die.

But Jesus did not say he would not die. He only said, “If I want him to live until I come back, that is not your business.”

That follower is the one who is telling these things and who has now written them down.

We know that what he says is true.

There are many other things Jesus did.

If every one of them were written down, I suppose the whole world would not be big enough for all the books that would be written.” – John 21:21-25

If he’s here, today, having somehow escaped his martyrdom, that’d mean he’s lived nearly two millennia.

You may not have lived two millennia but are you really living until Jesus comes back?

“A thief comes to steal and kill and destroy, but I came to give life–life in all its fullness.” – John 10:10

What about you?

Foundations of Faith

The basic doctrines, the foundation, of the Christian faith are the subject of this completely online Bible study course.

Foundations of Faith

There are two reasons for failure to live a victorious Christian life. The first reason is that some who are trying to live like Christians have never been born again. They do not understand the basic doctrines of Jesus Christ. The second reason for failure is not going on to spiritual maturity. The focus of this study is that  maturity.

Kingdom Living

All men live in a natural kingdom of this world. They live in a city or village which is part of a nation. That nation is a kingdom of the world. In addition to the natural kingdoms of this world there are two spiritual kingdoms which exist.

Kingdom Living

Every person alive is a resident of one of these two kingdoms: The kingdom of Satan or the Kingdom of God. This study concerns the Kingdom of God. It introduces the two spiritual kingdoms, their rulers, and residents. It provides spiritual keys for gaining access to the Kingdom of God and warns of things which result in being cast out.
