The writer of the Book of Ecclesiastes in the Old Testament said that "there is no new thing under the sun" (Eccl. 1:9) and students of church history never cease to be amazed that the same theories and philosophies arise from time to time in the Church of Jesus Christ. The ONENESS doctrines, which, we are told, have come as a result of a present-day "revelation", are, in reality, a revival of old errors, which were propagated and developed during the early centuries of the Christian era. These old discredited theories were rejected then because they were weighed and found wanting - and, ...

The NEW AGE MOVEMENT, as it is commonly called, could be likened to a counterfeit "John the Baptist movement", preparing the way for the coming antichrist and his rule on earth in the end time. It is not one single movement, with a specific leader at this time, but a rallying together of thousands of groups and individuals, all working towards a common aim. This worldwide network has been described as a "huge cosmic sponge that absorbs all religions, cultures and governments, and culminates in the New World Order." Its principle aim is to establish a one-world, a one-world religion and a ...

SCIENTOLOGY: What Do They Believe? In the late 1940's RON HUBBARD declared: "If a man really wants to make a million, the best way would be to start his own religion" ... and he did just that, calling it the "Church of Scientology" in 1954.

Scientology claims to help man become more ABLE "and brings about greater PEACE AND HAPPINESS". The quest for this feeling of happiness becomes a major part of a ...

The events of September 11, 2001, brought ISLAM to the attention of the nations in a new way. Academic interest in a people with a different lifestyle began to give way to fascination with a religious group who seemed prepared to sacrifice their very sons and daughters in suicidal missions to attain political ends. Some dismissed the movement as a violent religion, focused on attaining world dominion whatever the cost, Muslims and non-Muslims increasingly eyed each other with suspicion in the political arena, particularly as tensions increased in the Middle East. Others argue that Muslims ...

Spiritism poses as a universal, common denominator for all religious groups, teaching the continuity of life and the eternal progression of man towards perfection in the spirit realm. The basic principle of Spiritism is the foretelling of future events or the disclosure of hidden knowledge through pretended communication with the spirits of the dead. Persons who claim to have this power of communication with the "dead" are commonly known today as Mediums. (The King James Version of the Bible designates such persons as having "familiar spirits"). It is an ancient form of deception and one of...

JEREMIAH lived in very troubled times. As a Prophet of God, he had a very strong message for the people of his time. Known as the “Weeping Prophet”, Jeremiah’s heart broke for his people.

At the same time, he preached God’s Word fearlessly and without compromise in the midst of a perverse generation and there are some wonderful principles and promises in his book for our benefit. We live in parallel times to Jeremiah. The Rapture of the Church is imminent, but there is still time to ...

Christians are not immune to problems, trials and temptations and how well we know that. There are some people, however, who believe that unpleasant events in our lives are proof that there is something wrong with our faith. They assume that there is a problem in our relationship with God and they tend to correlate goodness with prosperity. This is not Biblical teaching and James gives us some clear teaching in his epistle on the subject. The Early Church in his time was a scattered and persecuted Body and James assures us that the Lord never allows anything in our lives without PURPOSE and...

31-Day Devotional. JONAH is one of the most interesting characters in the Bible. A prophet of note, he was well-known in Israel. Jewish tradition says that he was a disciple of the famous Elisha and possibly succeeded him as prophet. God called this man to prophesy against Nineveh, capital of Assyria, and call this nation to repentance. He was very reluctant to do that. Israel's enemies were his enemies and the last thing he wanted was for God to be merciful to them. He preferred that they come under judgment and disappear forever. He was unable to understand that the conversion and ...
