You may not want to hear it. You may not believe me. But I want to tell you an astonishing truth right up front: not all authentic, born again followers of Jesus on this planet believe exactly the same as you do, but they’re still believers in Jesus! I know, I know . . .Continue reading “4 Views: Who Has the Final Word?”

Apokatastasis
[NOTE: To begin, I invite you to read another teaching on this website titled Apokatastasis Reference Materials. These two teachings may not completely jibe with one another, because I simply cannot keep up with all the new materials constantly being offered about the subject; new materials become available almost daily.] This teaching is simply someContinue reading “Apokatastasis”
Whole in One
At age 18, shortly after I became a follower of Jesus God called me and began to equip me to be a teacher of the Bible and related subjects. In fact, He “spoke” to me these words: “Bill, I have called you and will equip you to be a teacher of the Bible and relatedContinue reading “Whole in One”
Salvation
Salvation is a concept many people don’t understand. It’s a word that remains a mystery to many. For many people, it’s an old-fashioned term—this thing known as “salvation” or being “saved.” Why salvation at all? What do people need saved from? Obviously no one needs saved unless they’re in some kind of peril. Many wouldContinue reading “Salvation”
The Image of God
The Bible makes the startling claim in Genesis 1: 26 and 27 (and Genesis 9: 6) that human beings were created in the “image of God.” That’s what the reference says, but what does it mean to be created in God’s image? By basic definition “image” means a “representation of something.” We know from manyContinue reading “The Image of God”
God’s Purposes For You
Precisely what—if anything—did Jesus of Nazareth accomplish by means of his birth, his life on earth, his tortuous death on the cross, his resurrection, and his return to heaven some 2,000 years ago? Coupled with that question is this: What are God’s ultimate purposes for his entire creation? For you? Are there answers to suchContinue reading “God’s Purposes For You”
God’s Will For You
Don’t misunderstand the title of this teaching! I don’t presume to have the faintest clue about God’s will for you in the day-to-day events of your life. If I claim I do, that’s presumptuous and foolish of me! In fact, don’t let anyone else ever presume to know what God’s will is for you inContinue reading “God’s Will For You”
Eternal LIFE
Got LIFE?! As I visit with various followers of Jesus and pre-followers here and there in person and by correspondence, soical media, and e-mail around the world, I find that many of them have only a vague, nebulous concept of what real LIFE—eternal LIFE—is all about. Here’s what the Bible teaches: Eternal LIFE is God’s ownContinue reading “Eternal LIFE”
Water
Water. What a mysterious substance! On one occasion Jesus said: “Those who believe in Me will have rivers of living water flowing out of their innermost being.” He was speaking about Holy Spirit Who would later come to reside permanently in his followers. (John 7: 37 – 39) There’s an interesting principle found throughout theContinue reading “Water”
The Unpardonable Sin
There are 5 major religions in the world: Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, and Judaism. Christianity is the only major religion that offers humanity full and complete pardon from sin based upon the substitutionary death of a sinless, divine Savior–who was brought back to life after his death on a Roman cross. all the others areContinue reading “The Unpardonable Sin”
