An Advocate against Satan
I watched the television preacher on Sunday and he began by saying that Jesus was going to send an Advocate to protect Christians from Satan. Rather than explain what an Advocate is, he then focused on the multiple ways Satan is described in Scripture.

Say this prayer with me and be saved
A commercial on television I have seen a few times features Franklin Graham telling viewers to say a prayer with him. When he finishes, he tells those praying with him to call a telephone number. The number is associated with Billy Graham’s ministry, which I assume the son took over. Because this does not say Franklin Graham Ministry and there have been no tent-revival meeting when Franklin Graham has healed a line of sick people walking across a stage, it says (to me) Fra

The Meaning of John 3:16
A TV preacher said John 3:16 is the most memorized verse of Scripture. He quoted it as this: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (NIV).

Bible Studies 2: Necessary Tools for Shelter in Place Study
Since nobody responded to my first offering of "Shelter in Place" Bible Studies, nobody made any suggestions for what to talk about next. That leaves it up to me to decide.

The Star of Bethlehem Presentation
On Thursday, October 16, 2025, I presented to the Metropolitan Atlanta Astrological Society (Astrology Atlanta) about the truth to the Star of Bethlehem, with that being the Sun. That was then usedby Magi (astrologers) to cast a natal chart for the "one born king of the Jews." This means I have determined the actual birthdate for Jesus; and that was stated firmly in this presentation.

Bible Studies 12: Genesis 3 - That crafty snake
Welcome back to the blog Bible Studies class. I hope you spent the past week thinking about the concept of 'Adam and Eve' being the prototype of Jesus Christ and his living body Church. I hope you also read ahead and went into Genesis 3.

John 5:39-47 - How to be reborn as Jesus
Verse 39 begins with a capitalized Eraunate , which in the second-person becomes an important instruction for “you” to “Investigate” or “Search, Seek, Examine those scriptures” or “documents” of “holy writings.” Following verse 38, where realization of “him” within is the only way to know the meaning of divine texts, those who do not “believe” or lack faith are those who do not “Examine those holy writs” that are the Word of Yahweh, written by Apostles-Saints reborn as the

John 5:31-38 - Divine Possession
Veres 31 begins with a capitalized Ean , which makes an important statement about that Before,” or announces an “Except”-ion to that stated prior, about “this choice of this of having sent me.” This is then relative to “me,” as a first-person statement leading to “I witness, I testify,” and “I affirm that one has experienced” “me.” This then says one has become different than “Before,” as then “Except” from the way one was. This is not thought through imagination but known

John 5:24-30 - Divine marriage and born again from above
This series of verses begins with verse 24 stating (once again as capitalized importance), “Truly.” This says that which follows (as with everything stated by Yahweh through the Son) is an important truth that must be discerned. Following a comma mark, that truth says, “surely (a lower-case amēn ) I call (or “speak, give, utter, lay forth”) to yourselves (a “self” is a “soul”) because this topic (or “speech, communication, word, something said”) of me hearing (or “listeni

John 5:19-23 - Explaining the relationship of Father to Son
In response to the known plots of the “Jews” or Pharisees that could not see the evil they worshiped as motivating their actions, verse 19 begins by importantly stating “Responded he then this Jesus,” where the capitalized Apekrinato is an important “Answer” given by “him” who is “this Jesus.” Because the name is not bracketed, this can be seen as Jesus coming to confront the “Jews,” in “Response” to their thinking Jesus was “equating himself made to this God.” Still, the

John 5:16-18 - [Jesus] speaks for the Father
This section of John’s fifth chapter appears to be Jesus being confronted by the Pharisees (the Judaism police), where he explained the relationship of a Father to a Son. This is most important to grasp firmly. For that reason, the literal translation will be the main focus here, rather than the translation found in Bibles presenting typical English translations of the Greek.

John 5:10-15 – Being one with Jesus
In John 5:1-9 we are told of a lame man at the pool of Bethesda. We translate that the man was going there for “thirty-eight years,” as if his whole life had been spent laying by the pool. In reality, what is written is “ triakonta kai oktō echōn en tē astheneia autou .” The presence of the kai should be read as a marker of importance, not a conjunction with the word “thirty.” That which is important to grasp is “eight years in to this infirmity [frailty, weakness, s

Article "Star of Bethlehem"
In July 2025, in search of some place to expand awareness of this that I have been led to see and share with others, I found that the magizing known as The Mountain Astrologer had died and was reborn. That rebirth was in June 2025. So, the timing seemed to be interesting. I found a contact email and sent in a sent in a rather informal statement about why I was contacting them, as I had an article that I felt astroglers would be interested in knowing about. I asked what th

Knowing nobody would come off $6, with $5 fully refundable, no questions asked, nobody signed up for it and the number of searchers coming to this site to glance at some Internet nonsense about Nost
