About Keeping the Sabbath or Not
(Copyright 10-16-2023) by Jeffrey Caldwell (Arkansas) A current article in World Net Dailyhttp://worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=57978notes: Greg Laurie, a WND columnist and senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, Calif., one of the eight largest Protestant churches in America, maintains it’s wrong for Christians to observe Saturday, claiming Jesus and the apostles never taught anyone to keep the Sabbath. He says it’s the only one of the Ten Commandments not specifically repeated in the New Testament. “Of all the New Testament lists of sins, ‘breaking the Sabbath’ is never mentioned,” Laurie said. “That is because it was given to the Jews, not the non-Jews.” Back […]
The Corruption that is Called Christmas
(Copyright) by Jeffrey Caldwell (Arkansas) Eve, the first woman, meant well … at least she felt she meant well … reaching for the forbidden fruit. Satan’s deceitful and misleading spiel had convinced her. Nobody had ever lied to her … she wasn’t prepared for that. After all, “… she saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked delicious, and she wanted the wisdom it would give her…” (Genesis 3:6), can’t fault the reasoning. Adam knew better, he remembered God had said it was not to be eaten, that death would be the consequence. But he went along with […]
Laws of Logic, Inherent and Fundamental to Reality
(Copyright) by Jeffrey Caldwell (Arkansas) The laws of logic appear to be inherent and fundamental aspects of reality — or else, it seems, all our thinking and “scientific investigation” is futile! Rather small children that we be, our ability to grasp or be absolutely certain about the essential nature of reality is limited. Even most atheists seem to think, as I do, that the laws of logic are immaterial, unchanging, universal, and eternal. Those are Biblically proclaimed attributes of the Creator who claims to be the Lawgiver and the Sustainer of all things. God-fearing scientists think the laws of logic are the way […]
When Were the Angels Created and When Were They Corrupted?
(Copyright) by Jeffrey Caldwell (Arkansas) The angelic realm is created (Colossians 1:15-17). God created the earth, the heavens and everything in them in six days (Exodus 20:11). All the angels were joyful at the laying of the foundations of the earth (Job 38:4-7). The angels were created to serve people for a holy purpose (Hebrews 1:14). At the end of the sixth day everything was “very good” in God’s estimation (Genesis 1:28-31). Satan was in Eden, at that time, as the model of perfection, full of wisdom and exquisitely beautiful, a guardian with access to God (Ezekiel 28:12-14). On Day One of the week in which […]
Dismantled
(Copyright) by Jeffrey Caldwell (Arkansas) Dismantled: is a scientific deconstruction of the theory of evolution (2020). The talking heads in this program include some of my favorite Bible-believing scientists; it also features literature of leading evolutionary scientists. We all have the same evidence; the film makes the case that biblical history is more consistent with actual observational science than evolutionary history. This is true, even though biblical history never changes while evolutionary history is constantly being revised. In the view of the filmmakers our actual knowledge is converging towards consistency with the biblical narrative. A lot of genetics here, but also several […]
Isn’t the term “Government School” more meaningful and truthful than the term “Public School”?
(Copyright) by Jeffrey Caldwell (Arkansas) I’m currently reading a book that is chock-full of great quotes and thoughtful passages I’d love for a lot of people to be exposed to. This snippet is not necessarily the most compelling, but merely the latest one I’ve come across … please correct me if I ever employ the term “public school” again! If the government’s education system–like so much of what the federal bureaucracy touches–is such a disaster, then why do we turn our children over to it for their entire youths? Lots of reasons, starting with the name–“public school.” They are government schools, […]
The Return and its Prophetic Impact
(Copyright) by Jeffrey Caldwell (Arkansas) and Laura Lee (Bismarck, North Dakota) Laura writes:I want to share a conversation I had this past week with Jeffrey Caldwell. And I have listened to the 33-minute video. Jeffrey writes:There is a movement afoot which you and the entire ministry of the Church of God should be aware of; if you have not seen this already I strongly urge you to take a look: The Return and its Prophetic Impact Laura writes:What is the movement about? Is it good or bad? Jeffrey writes:A large number of people have been meeting and praying for a revival. The talk […]
A House of Prayer for All Nations
(Copyright) by Jeffrey Caldwell (Arkansas) To those who say the Sabbath was given only for the Jews: Jesus, driving out those selling in the temple area, quotes Isaiah, “My house will be a house of prayer” (Luke 19:46, Isaiah 56:7). In the same place the LORD says, “my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations” He also says “foreigners … who keep the Sabbath without desecrating it … I will … give … joy in my house of prayer” (Isaiah 56:6-7). Jesus says, “the Sabbath was made for man” (Mark 2:27) — for humanity. Astronomically, the seven-day week is the […]
What Makes a Great Nation?
by Jeffrey Caldwell (Redwood City, California) What makes for a great nation is relevant to God’s holy nation. It seems good to me to share with you a couple of my recent Facebook posts: The day after the election: ————Today we, here in the United States, have a new President-elect — not the one that I, nor many of us, were expecting! Reminded that citizenship confers not only rights, but also responsibilities. Thanks to the wisdom of our founders each of us has a say in the public square and ability to communicate with fellow citizens or our officials. Even, where appropriate, to engage […]
What is “Sucralose”?
by Jeffrey Caldwell (Redwood City, California) Technically, the correct chemical name for “sucralose” — a popular ‘sugar substitute’ – is “1,6-dichloro-1,6-dideoxy-beta-D-fructofuranosyl-4-chloro-4-deoxy-alpha-D-galactopyranoside” (!) Sucralose is a common ingredient in “light” calorie foods. “Sucralose” is a generic trade name for Splenda*, the artificial sweetener advertised as “made from sugar”. The “ose” ending is standard in chemistry for real sugars, such as sucrose, glucose, or dextrose. But sucralose is actually a sweet-tasting chlorinated hydrocarbon. Sucralose is an official nickname coined to sell the chlorinated hydrocarbon “1,6-dichloro-1,6-dideoxy-beta-D-fructofuranosyl-4-chloro-4-deoxy-alpha-D-galactopyranoside” as a sugar substitute. Splenda — “1,6-dichloro-1,6-dideoxy-beta-D-fructofuranosyl-4-chloro-4-deoxy-alpha-D-galactopyranoside” — is indeed made from sugar – by means of a complicated […]
True Values
by Jeffrey Caldwell (Redwood City, California) True Values of the Kingdom of God for the Bride of Christ: In respect to the family the Father and the Son are building, freedom the supreme value! God has more freedom than any created being. Sometimes we say, quite truly, “God is love”–God always chooses godly love–the very nature of His holiness! His is a HOLY love. His holy teaching guidance, His holy commandments guidance–in HOLY love. The GENUINE freedom of God that He wants for all of His children is HOLY freedom. All of the LORD’s holy days – the weekly Sabbath, the annual Sabbaths […]
The Plain Truth about The Way
by Jeffrey Caldwell (Redwood City, California) The way to: Advance the Kingdom of God Advance the true values of the Kingdom of God Express pure devotion to Christ Eat from the Tree of Life Genuinely love God “Follow none but the LORD your God, and revere none but Him; observe His commandments alone, and heed only His orders; worship none but Him, and hold fast to Him” (Moses, the man of God, his last sermon; Deuteronomy 13:5, Tanakh, a new translation of the Holy Scriptures according to the traditional Hebrew text). Please forgive me if I am tempted to shout this (in my exceedingly loud voice) but, […]
Must Women Be Silent in the Church?
by Jeffrey Caldwell (Redwood City, California) Ralph Woodrow, an evangelical Christian minister, is a correspondent of mine. He is a bit famous for formerly supporting Alexander Hislop’s thesis in The Two Babylon’s, but then repudiating his support in a follow-up book when he was challenged to check into the quality of Hislop’s scholarship, which he found quite lacking. He’s taken a lot of heat for that, but I believe he is being quite honest about it. He has written many short books which are edifying biblical studies and his latest is: Must Women Be Silent in the Church? a biblical study […]
A Child’s Theory
by Jeffrey Caldwell (Redwood City, California) A child’s theory of everything came to me as I drove to work. What is the primordial order of origin of the Creation (“universe” –if you prefer)? Moses’ account indicates time comes first. Matter and space exist in time–not otherwise! There must be “space” to have a place to “put” matter! To have any “thing” organized matter must occupy at least some of the “space”! So, it occurs to me, the primordial order of Creation is time, space, matter. All must relate to each other as they do for us to have the universe […]
The Promised Land
Sent by Jeffrey Caldwell (Redwood City, California) Twelve men were sent to spy out the land.Ten men were afraid and conspired a plan. They told the people that “Danger awaits”.A great rebellion they did create. People murmured, complained, and disgusted our Father.God said to Himself, “Promised land for the elders? Why bother.” So, for all of them who were forty and up They died in the wilderness,for their minds were corrupt. Now the Children of Israel from birth to twenty They got to go to that Land,the Land of Plenty. They did not enter with fear in their hearts.Thanks to Joshua and Caleb they were […]
