New Testament English

Jesus was the first to properly “exegesis” the heavenly Father. Thus, after asking Judith (my wife) to help me with a title for this book, she came up with the idea of including the word “exegesis” in the title for this book. Exegesis by definition mean critical explanation or interpretation of a text, especially of Scriptures. However, “exegesis” is the Greek compound “ek,” which means “out-of,” that is something having its origin within that something; and “hegeomai,” which means, to lead. Therefore, Jesus was the first to lead us to the Father “out-of” the ...

James was a vegetarian, wore only linen clothing, bathed daily at dawn in cold water, and was a life-long Nazirite.

The Temple of God will be the largest building in the City of New Jerusalem. It will consist of twelve individual temples surrounding a central dome, like spokes on a wheel. Each temple will be as large as the largest temples of today. Each will have steeples on its outside end and be connected to the center at its inside end.

It will be the Holy of Holies, the throne of God, and the seat of the Government of God during the Millennium. Who can comprehend the sight? A glorious ...

Treasures Old and New started as a Bible study and became a book. Dr. Sieffert was showing students how many of the things taught in the New Testament were actually already there in the Old Testament. Jesus was taking something His followers already knew and expanding on it, leading them into a deeper truth. That is the intent of this book; to lead others into deeper truths and hopefully spark a strong hunger for the Word of God.

Leading Bible scholar John Dominic Crossan, the author of the pioneering work The Historical Jesus, provides new insight into the Christian culture wars which began in the New Testament and persist strongly today. For decades, Americans have been divided on how Christians should relate to government and lawmakers, a dispute that has impacted every area of society and grown more rancorous over the past forty years. But as Crossan makes clear, this debate isn’t new; it can be found in the New Testament itself, most notably in the tensions between Luke-Acts and Revelations.
