Published by Rob Skiba January 11, 2015 at 5:26 PM As I am going through the 100+ notes I’ve written over the past few years, it is very interesting to see the journey I’ve been on and how others have reacted to it along the way. When I realized that the gifts of the Spirit are still in effect today and that John 14:12 was true and still applicable to us in the 21st Century, all my Baptist...

Published by Rob Skiba January 19, 2015 at 4:07 PM So, I just saw an Internet article about the actress Yolanda Foster, who apparently is suffering from Lyme Disease. In it she is quoted as saying, “I guess God gives his hardest battles to the strongest soldiers” Source: http://www.tmz.com/2015/01/19/yolanda-foster-lyme-disease-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills/ While I can...

Published by Rob Skiba January 3, 2015 at 2:51 PM People ask me all the time, “Well if you claim to be Torah observant do you keep ALL 613 commandments in it?” This is of course usually done in a smug effort to try and trip me up and eventually label me either a liar, hypocrite, heretic or worse. I can almost guarantee that nearly everyone who hurls that accusatory question has never...

“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

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...

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.

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...

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...
