“Church Fathers” and the Closing Words of Scripture

Published by Rob Skiba December 30, 2014 at 5:47 AM People love to quote the “early Church Fathers” all the time. Unfortunately, the ones they are choosing to quote are really more like “early Church Children, Grandchildren, Great Grandchildren” and even rebellious step children. The true  “early Church Fathers” are the authors of the New Testament! Yes, they... read more

Divisive or United?

Published by Rob Skiba December 27, 2014 at 2:51 PM Luke 12: 51 “Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. 52 For from now on in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law... read more

Truth Seekers or Posers?

Published by Rob Skiba December 24, 2014 at 6:56 PM I’m curious (and this is NOT aimed at any one person in particular – it’s just a general observation based on NUMEROUS interactions I’ve had with MANY here on Facebook and elsewhere): How does one claiming to be a “truth seeker” justify that title when they won’t take a firm (Biblical) stand for it? In other... read more

Holidays – Each of us should be fully convinced in his own mind?

Published by Rob Skiba December 24, 2014 at 4:16 PM The two Scriptures I hear most mis-applied to issues such as whether or not we should observe the Sabbath or so-called holidays like X-mess and Ishtar Day are Romans 14:5,6 and Colossians 2:16. So, I feel it is important to address them both here in a NOTE. In context, the issue being discussed in Romans 14 was FOOD (vegetarians vs meat... read more

Historical facts about X-mess and the Church

December 23, 2014 at 1:11 PM The following compilation of historical facts are taken from: http://www.biblestudying.net/churchhistory5.html and are provided here for your consideration:It is a historical fact, that for 200 years after Christ the church did not celebrate Christ’s birthday or any holiday on December 25.

I’ll see your Paul and raise you ten plus… and a Vulcan just for the fun of it

Published by Rob Skiba December 16, 2014 at 2:48 PM Oh how interesting it gets whenever we talk about actually obeying YHWH with Christians. It still astounds me that there should even be a debate as to whether or not obeying YHWH is something we should be doing. Yet, time and time again, we find that it is a hotly contested debate. And within this debate, everyone and their dog wants to throw down Paul... read more

What are the Scriptures anyway?

  Published by Rob Skiba December 13, 2014 at 9:57 PM We use the word “Scriptures” all the time, but BIBLICALLY speaking, what were/are the Scriptures? In other words, looking at the New Testament, we sure do see the word used a lot, but in EVERY CASE to what are the authors referring?   Matthew 21:42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in... read more

Where in the world is the world?

Published by Rob Skiba December 12, 2014 at 10:25 PM I often hear one of the excuses for justifying X-mess and Ishtar Day: “But these are the times when the world comes to the church. It’s when we have the best chance of reaching them.” On the surface, that sounds great, doesn’t it? Good opportunity for out-reach, right? Well… let me ask you a question:   WHERE... read more

What is love?

Published by Rob Skiba December 11, 2014 at 10:43 PM Whenever post just about anything concerning keeping the commandments, I often hear people tell me that Jesus only gave two commandments for us to follow (as if He decided to trump His Father). Well, the first thing we must consider is this: John 10:30 I and My Father are one. So, right there we can toss out any notion of One... read more

Santa Claus – Defender of our doctrine?

Published by Rob Skiba December 9, 2014 at 2:51 PM A prominent X-mess defending “theologian” recently posted an link to an interesting article while proudly proclaiming Santa Clause is the “Defender of orthodox trinitarian theology.” The posted link is to a website that says… “The best story about him is that he went to the council of Nicaea in 325 and became so... read more

A cry of LOVE from heaven (and me) to you…

Published by Rob Skiba December 2, 2014 at 2:09 PM Before you read this note, I want you to go and get your Bible. Seriously. Go get it. Got it? OK, now open up to Matthew 1 and hold the entire New Testament in-between the fingers on your right hand. Then look at the amount of the book we call the Bible that is in that hand and compare it to what is left on the other side. You’ll quickly notice that... read more
