Talk 28 is the fourth of six talks on Justification and related themes. In this talk, the second of two words is examined. The word is Strongs 3049, logizomai. This verb occurs eleven times in Romans 4 and its English translation in the KJV, NKJV, and perhaps all other English versions is clearly mistaken. An accurate rendering is provided and the result of accurate renderings for both words (the first word having been looked at in the previous talk) reveals the need for a new synthesis of the doctrine of justification. The ramifications are that huge. Finally, as a clue to perhaps the biggest finding is that logizomai comes from the Greek LOGOS, which is a word and carries in its meaning no specification of what the word may be. Any specification must be provided elsewhere in the text. But the KJV and other versions assumed what this specification is, all the while there is no linguistic justification for doing so.

Talk 27 is the third of six talks on Justification and Related Themes. In this talk, a Greek word that occurs five times in Romans 4 is examined - Strongs 1519, eis. One of the occurrences is trivial while the other four are quite significant. Frankly, the word is mistranslated in the English KJV, NKJV, and many if not all other English versions. Being aware of its accurate rendering is crucial to better understanding the grand doctrine of justification.

Talk 26 is the first of a six part series on justification and related themes. What is justification? Also considered, is something it is not. (Note - originally, the subject was "Justification and the Underlying Basis for Right Standing When One Has Faith." This title was abandoned for a compelling reason, which becomes evident in later talks.)

In this talk, I share a difficult time I had in 2024 and then transition to the false prophets of Ezekiel 13 who preach a false message of futility and peace.

In this talk, we examine the allegory of the woman and two husbands of Romans 7:1-3. What does it mean by the first husband being alive? What does it mean when "he" is dead? What does it mean for the woman to be prepared to marry the second husband and not be an adulterous? The allegory provides the main application in time of Paul's epistle to the Romans - this being the last days!

In this talk, we examine the allegory of the woman and two husbands of Romans 7:1-3. What does it mean by the first husband being alive? What does it mean when "he" is dead? What does it mean for the woman to be prepared to marry the second husband and not be an adulterous? The allegory provides the main application in time of Paul's epistle to the Romans - this being the last days!

In this talk, we examine the last days application of the following biblical time periods - the 70th week and the 1260, 1290, and 1335 days. The events of the faithful remnant that reside within these numbers are explained. Prepare for an amazing and exciting journey that ensures our Lord God is the author of the Bible!

In Talk 22, we have a look at what one is looking at when he beholds the holiness of God, this being the revelation that exposes sin. We also look at the feeling realm in philosophical terms and have a stab at what the New Covenant experience of rapid and complete character transformation looks like.

In this talk, we examine Elijah, the preparation needed in order to survive the intense character transformation that follows. This being the last-day character transformation that requires the faithful to be subject to enormous levels of the holiness of God as well as the blood of Jesus Christ. Among related subjects, a critical one is broached. Is there something we can do to ease God's pain?

The tail end of Talk 19 on the blood of the new covenant referred to the blood of Abel with respect to Hebrews where Christ's blood is said to "speak something better" and then extended to Genesis 4 where God exclaimed that Abel's blood cries out to Him from the ground. In this talk, we examine Abel's blood and then extend the discussion to the subject of the propitiation, primarily, just who is it that is propitiated?

In this extremely important talk, we examine what the blood of Christ is that satisfies specific biblical specifications, notably: Hebrews 10:1-4 For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect. 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins. 3 But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. 4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins. Hebrews 9:9, 14 It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience 14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? What is this "blood of Christ" that produces the state wherein the worshipers no longer have a consciousness of sins, as Hebrews 10:2 puts it, and makes the worshipers "perfect in regard to the conscience" as Hebrews 9:9 puts it? Come and find out!

In Talk 18 we examine the great controversy. What is the last day testimony that vindicates God when He is judged and thereby thoroughly repudiates Satan's claims? How does this testimony do so? Love is shown to be the only viable existence. Romans 3:4 Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar. As it is written: “That You may be justified in Your words, And may overcome when You are judged.”

We have a look at what happens to the lost in the very last days when they are subjected to intense levels of the holiness of God which reveals to them their evil characters.

We examine the life of Christ with respect to His exposure to holiness, which culminated with His abiding in the Presence Behind the veil at Calvary.

In this talk, we have a look at the humanity of Christ. Was the flesh Jesus Christ condescended to take fallen or unfallen? The biblical evidence for the truth is substantial.

We examine the faith of Jesus, especially His initial faith. When did Christ first have faith? What was its substance?

Tony thought to have a look at what has been discussed previously and realized that there is a lot of material. So much, in fact, that he concluded that a review was most definitely in order. Talk 13 is a review of Talks 1 to 12. As 11 and 12 were fairly recent, less attention was paid to them

In Talk 12, we examine what the Bible says about the occurrence of birth pangs (symbolic for chastening experiences) after the remnant is sealed. This is part of the study of Travail As of a Woman In Birth Pangs which is a phenomenon that only occurs with the final generation (both faithful and unfaithful) and which also occurred for Jesus Christ.

Talk 11 continues the discussion on spirituality reality especially as it pertains to the remnant at the end of time. The talk begins a look at the object Travail As of a Woman in Birth Pangs. It also examines the sealing and ends by asking what the source of birth pangs is after the sealing.

Talk 10 begins an examination of spiritual reality. The emphasis is on the remnant at the end of time and what happens when it is subject to progressively greater revelations of the holiness of God, this what brings about disclosure.

In Talk 9, Tony shares a biographical sketch of himself.

Because so much time was spent on Hebrews, Talk 8 was a summary of what was covered. An audio summarizing Hebrews was played and interspersed with commentary.

According to Hebrews 4:4-5, God referred to the seventh day when He said of the Israelites wandering in the wilderness that they would not enter into His rest. How did God refer to the seventh day when He said this?

Talk 6 is a continuation of Talk 5 where we examine Hebrews especially for all passages that refer to grace and what that grace accomplishes. We do so with special focus on which covenant (old or new) the grace is associated with and whether the grace provides legal satisfaction, healing, or both.

Talk 5 begins an examination of the apostle Paul's epistle to the Hebrews. Much focus is given to all passages that have anything to say about grace and what the word says it accomplishes with respect to old covenant and new. As backdrop, possible works of grace mentioned in Hebrews are separated into two categories. For all referrals to grace, is that grace described as producing legal satisfaction or healing? With respect to healing, it is understood to be the same thing as character transformation. In other words, there is something inherently well about a holy character and something inherently unwell about an unrighteous one. We examine for both works of grace in the effort to establish the message of Hebrews from that foundational vantage point.
