DID JESUS HAVE SUPERNATURAL HELP IN FASTING (2)?
If Jesus used the aid of supernatural power to aid him in getting through the “fasting” of Matthew, four, verses one and two, which reads: “Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward …

DID JESUS HAVE SUPERNATURAL HELP IN FASTING (1)?
The question under which I write, comes from the fact, that Jesus fasted for forty days and nights, and that so many defy these great facts! There we will allow Matthew to give us the record: “And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred” (Matt. 4:2); then, Luke …

NEW TESTAMENT AUTHORITY (9)
As promised at the end of the last article, written under the above title, we will tackle the day the Lord’s Supper is to be taken! First, there is no commandment that says, “You are to take the Lord’s Supper on the first day of the week.” It just is not there! So, is there …

NEW TESTAMENT AUTHORITY (8)
For those who desire to be saved, what question is more important, than “How do we ascertain New Testament Authority?” Understanding, that the New Testament is “the teaching of Christ;” therefore, let us note the words of John the apostle of love: “Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. …

NEW TESTAMENT AUTHORITY (7)
Yes, here we are once more, writing under the same heading! The question still remains, how do we ascertain New Testament Authority for what the church of our Lord is required to, and allowed to, do? Let me simply state, that the church today is required to do some things the first century church did …

NEW TESTAMENT AUTHORITY (6)
One point before getting into this article. There is one text, that needs our attention. Here is the text: “If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord” (1 Cor. 14:37). Something does not have be …

NEW TESTAMENT AUTHORITY (5)
By this time, you may be wondering, well, just how do we ascertain “New Testament Authority,” as there are no commandments? This is true even with the Lord’s Supper, which we will continue to use as an example. There are no commandments: 1) thou should take the Lord’s Supper on the first day of the …

NEW TESTAMENT AUTHORITY (4)
On what day is the Lord’s Supper to be taken, according to NEW TESTAMENT AUTHORITY? Of course, all who read this article will answer: “On the first day of the week.” Now where did you and others get your authority to answer in this manner? Is there a text that says, Christians are to partake …

NEW TESTAMENT AUTHORITY (3)
“I propose that in the Lord’s Supper, that we use cornbread and buttermilk!” Yes, not many would agree to use these two items for the Lord’s Supper, but I ask why? If as Martin Luther proposed, that if the Bible does not forbid it, then, that is authority for it. No where in the New …

NEW TESTAMENT AUTHORITY (2)
“If the New Testament does not forbid it, then, that is authority for it!” Have you ever heard this? Well, think about it for a while; no, really give some thought to it! More than likely you have never heard anyone ask this question. Sometimes it is not put forward in this strong a statement …
