    We see that men have been privileged at times throughout history to see Jesus face to face. It isn’t common but it isn’t without ample precedent either.

  • Our great advocate

    Jesus is able to save “to the uttermost” any who seek to come to God through Him because he knows perfectly how to succor those who experience temptation. Those who are tempted and respond by turning to Him for aid so that they might be worthy to return to heaven will receive the perfect succor…

    It seems that the preeminent type of Christ is the sacrament bread.

  • The veil in reading the old testament

    2 Corinthians soaks of the minds of the Jew being blinded in their reading of the Old Testament. It says that this cell that blinded them was taken away in Christ. It seems to me that it is taken away for those who accept Christ, but that for those who read the Old Testament without…

    While we have be promised that no man know the day and got of His coming, there are things we do know, such as the fact that He shall not come as a woman not shall He come as a mortal. It shall not be, as some men have claimed, Christ reborn.

    I wonder about the Lord purifying the sons of Levi. Part of me thinks He has begun that process and another part feels like that is something he will do openly after he comes. As I think about it, and considering what I know of devout modern Jews, I believe the process has started but…

    Besides the Savior being openly proclaimed, He promises to openly defend His covenant people.
