Questions & Answers

There is one God, the Eternal Father, the Almighty, the Most High, and if you open any apostolic epistle you will see God the Father distinguished from the Lord Jesus Christ as two distinct persons, because the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is not a Trinity of co-equal persons but One God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one.Deuteronomy 6:4

Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is Lord, Messiah, King, High Priest, and the Second Adam. He is not the Eternal Father. The Father sent Him, exalted Him, and made Him Lord and Christ at His resurrection.

God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.Acts 2:36

The Son declares the Father. He is the image of the invisible God, the Father's authorised agent through whom all things were made and through whom we are saved.

The title God (theos) is applied to Jesus in only a few passages, and in each case it carries the meaning of divine authority and office, not the claim that He is the Eternal Father. Every apostle testifies consistently that God is the Father and Jesus is His Son. Titles like Mighty God in Isaiah 9:6 are governmental titles of office given by the Father to the Son.

The Most High communicated through authorised agents throughout the Old Testament: the Angel of the Lord, the glory cloud, the pillar of fire, and the Word. These were real encounters, but not the Eternal Father in His unveiled essence. No man can see the Father and live (Exodus 33:20). What people saw was the agent carrying God's Name and authority.

In the purpose and foreknowledge of God, yes. The Lamb was slain from the foundation of the world in God's eternal plan. In actual personal existence, Jesus is the Son born of Mary, the Second Adam, fully human and fully appointed by the Father for His mission.

The Lordship of Jesus is a title and authority the Father conferred upon Him after His resurrection. It is not a statement that He is the Eternal Father. The Father exalted Him, gave Him the Name above every name, and seated Him at His right hand.

Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name.Philippians 2:9

Yes. He was raised from the dead, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and is reigning now as Lord and King. He is our living High Priest, interceding before the Father. He will return.

Baptism is by full immersion in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of sins. That is Peter's command at Pentecost and the consistent practice recorded throughout Acts. It is not a later tradition. It is the documented apostolic standard.

Repent and be baptised, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.Acts 2:38

Baptism is the appointed act of obedience in which forgiveness is received and the covenant is entered. It belongs together with repentance and faith. It does not earn salvation, but it is the moment in which the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ are applied to the believer.

Do you not know that all of us who have been baptised into Christ Jesus were baptised into His death?Romans 6:3

We do not believe so. The consistent cosmological testimony of Scripture describes a circular earth on pillars, enclosed by a firmament with heavenly waters above, the plain reading from Genesis through Job and Isaiah to Revelation, not metaphor, when we read it with a sincere heart.

He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth... He stretches out the heavens like a canopy.Isaiah 40:22

The firmament is the solid expanse described in Genesis 1, dividing the waters above from the waters below. In Hebrew it is called raqia, a beaten or hammered-out expanse. Job 37:18 speaks of the skies spread out like a molten mirror. We believe the firmament is real, structural, part of God's designed creation.

The church is the living assembly of people who belong to Jesus Christ. It is not a building, a legal entity, or a denominational structure. Where believers gather in His name, the church is present. No address required.

For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.Matthew 18:20

No. The apostles met in homes, by rivers, in prison, in the open air. What made it the church was never the address. It was the people gathered, the Spirit present, and the name of Jesus honoured among them.

Obligatory tithing is not taught in the New Testament epistles. What the apostles modelled was voluntary, generous giving in response to genuine need, without compulsion and without institutional machinery behind it.

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.2 Corinthians 9:7

We do not believe so. We believe the millennial reign of Yeshua with His saints happened on this earth and ended around 250 years ago. The current age is what we call the Short Season, concentrated deception and destruction before the return of the King.

We see current events following a pattern constructed through media, religion, politics, and education from the 17th century onward, historians and analysts have predicted it more accurately than the church has, which troubles us. Scripture speaks to it plainly for those with eyes to see.

No. Secular Israel is not the true Israel by geography, biology, or biblical explanation, the promises of God are fulfilled in the Messiah and in those who are His through faith. The mainstream church's unconditional political support for the modern secular state does not stand on apostolic Scripture, as far as we can see it.

Spiritual dryness is not a sign that God has abandoned you. More often it is the season in which He does His deepest work. Moses met God in the desert. Israel was humbled and taught there. Jesus was tested there before His ministry began. What feels like absence is often preparation.

"O God, You have rejected us and broken our defenses; You have been angry. O, restore us."Psalm 60:1

When God breaks our defences, our plans, our pride and self-sufficiency, it is not destruction. It is the clearing that makes restoration possible. A man who has never been emptied rarely learns what he is actually holding.

God is not afraid of your anger or your accusations. The Psalms are full of men crying out against what God has allowed, and God counted them righteous. What matters is that you stay in the conversation rather than walking away from it entirely.

What is dangerous is not blaming God in the heat of pain, but settling into a permanent bitterness that refuses to be answered. The man who cries out is still turned toward God. The man who goes silent and walks away has already left.

"It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn Your statutes."Psalm 119:71

Yes. The silence is not absence. Some of the most significant work God does in a person's life is invisible while it is happening. The seed does not see itself growing. The bone does not feel itself knitting together. What you experience as nothing is often the slowest and most permanent kind of change.

Paul prayed three times for his thorn to be removed. The answer he received was not removal but grace sufficient for carrying it. God heard every prayer. His answer was better than what Paul asked for, and Paul only understood that looking back.

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."2 Corinthians 12:9

Yes, and anyone who tells you otherwise has not read Paul honestly. Salvation is the beginning of the work, not its completion. We are always in the Lord's factory, always being shaped into the character of Yeshua; that means being brought into contact with our own darkness so He can deal with it.

Once saved always saved is not a scriptural position, in my view. Faith is a living thing, held in close cooperation with God. A man fifteen years into his walk with Christ may still have chambers of his heart he has never opened, pride he has never named, patterns he carried since before his salvation that the Lord is only now ready to address. That is not failure. It is the ongoing nature of salvation.

More than most Christians are comfortable admitting. Pride disguised as principle. Rebellion dressed as discernment. The constant sense that those above you are wrong and you know better. These are among the most common and least examined sins in the lives of believing men and women.

David had every justification to raise his hand against Saul. He chose not to, and that choice over many years forged in him the character God needed to trust him with a kingdom. The willingness to serve under imperfect authority, without justifying yourself, without waiting to be vindicated, is one of the most searching tests of the servant's heart we know.

"Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant."Matthew 20:26
