The Bible story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden is one of the most well-known Bible stories ever told. Even those outside the Church who’ve never been to church know the general story of Adam and Eve. The more popular a story becomes, the more the story seems to be corrupted and twisted. Many no longer believe that the trees in the Garden of Eden were trees but were actually people.

Satan (the Devil) is one person in the Bible that everyone knows, even if they’ve never been to Church. The problem is that most Christians don’t actually know who Satan is or how he deceives the world. When pastors teach about Satan, 99.9% of the time, they use verses that have nothing to do with Satan while seemingly ignoring the verses about Satan. If we never really know who our enemy is or how he attacks, how will we ever defeat or overcome him?

In today’s world, words no longer have much meaning. They’re thrown around without much thought or consideration.

There are three beasts in the book of Revelation: The Beast Out of The Sea, The Beast Out of The Earth, and the Beast Out of The Bottomless Pit.

Every year, we make a New Year’s Resolution, but the majority of us fail to make it to the end of February with that New Year’s Resolution still in mind.

The Nephilim are one of the most discussed beings in the Bible. They almost seem to appear out of nowhere, causing much speculation on their origins from both believers and nonbelievers. Though the popular belief is that the Nephilim were the offspring of angels and women, the Bible describes a much different origin. The Nephilim were on the earth in those days and after those days. They were on the earth because they originally came from under the earth. If they came from under the earth, how did they get on the earth?

During the time of Elijah, the nation of Israel was split into two separate kingdoms: Israel, the Northern Kingdom, and Judah, the Southern Kingdom. During the time of Elijah, King Ahab ruled over the land of Israel and filled the land with great sin because he and his household worshipped Baal. The Israelites followed their king and also began committing much idolatry.

The Nephilim are a mysterious group of giant beings in Scripture. They seem to just appear on the scene out of nowhere. Because of this, where they came from is often debated and argued throughout the Church and even in the world. In our previous videos, we explained that the belief that the Nephilim (the giants) came from the Sons of God (angels) and the daughters of men (human women) procreating together isn’t in the Bible. If giants didn’t come from angels and human women, then where did the Nephilim come from?

The very first sin ever committed was by Adam and Eve. This topic has become the center of popular debate within the Church. Many no longer believe that the sin of Adam and Eve was as simple as eating from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. There are three main belief systems when it comes to what sin Adam and Eve actually committed. The mainstream belief is that Adam and Eve ate from the forbidden Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. The other two beliefs are that Adam and Eve either had sex with the serpent or with each other. Did Adam and Eve have sex with the Serpent, or did they commit the sin of incest because they were siblings?

The Rapture of the Church is one of the most debated topics in today’s Church. There are three main belief systems when it comes to the Rapture, all centering around The Great Tribulation: Pre-Trib, Mid-Trib, and Post-Trib.

Merry Christmas from our family to yours! Christmas is the one holiday that isn’t politically correct. It’s the holiday that seems to offend many people just by the mention of its name. Why is that?

Over the last few decades, many churches and Christians have spoken out against the Christmas holiday. They claim that Christmas isn’t a Christian religion, but, like Halloween, is actually rooted in Paganism and was an attempt by the Church to celebrate a Pagan holiday by making it about the birth of Christ. They further explain that Jesus Christ wasn’t even born on December 25th, so we, as Christians, have no reason to celebrate this pagan holiday. They explain that Christmas is rooted in Mithraism, the cult of Tammuz, and Saturnalia, but is this true?

The people of Israel had just left Egypt after 400 years of slavery. They witnessed God work powerful signs through Moses and Aaron.

Jesus told the Pharisees that they needed to go learn what ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice’ means.

Today’s Church is filled with debates on when the rapture (the return or second coming of Christ) will take place. Some say that there will be a pre-tribulation rapture, while others say that there will be a mid-tribulation rapture or a post-tribulation rapture.

The Serpent in the Garden of Eden tempted Eve with the forbidden fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. This was the beginning of the downfall of all of the world.
