Practical application of Pentecostal theology in politics, economy and social issues
First, from the Book of Daniel we have:
Daniel 9:27: “And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come…
Matthew Kaemingk, Christian Hospitality and Muslim Immigration in an Age of Fear (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2018), 338 pages. The kind of book Evangelical Christians need to be reading on navigating Christian-Muslim relations today is the kind of book Matthew Kaemingk has written in Christian Hospitality and Muslim Immigration in an Age of Fear. So then, […]
In the gospels, Jesus says whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another commits adultery, and whoever marries her who has been divorced commits adultery.
Matthew 5:31-32:
It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces…
Is Jesus referring to Matthew 12:30 and using it to explain Matthew 12:31 when He uses Διὰ τοῦτο? Or does the rest of Matthew 12:31 explain Matthew 12:30?
Matthew 12:30 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with…
From the late Jack Kelley 03-15-2014 I’ve received several questions again about various rapture positions. Several of these questions have to do with the claim that in the Olivet Discourse (Matt. 24-25), Jesus, in effect, said the Church will have to endure all of the seven years of Daniel’s 70th Week, including the Great Tribulation.

Matthew seems to mention two people (or animals) where other Gospels mention just one, e.g.
two demon possessed men, in Matthew 8:28-34 (compare Mark 5:1-17 and Luke 8:26-39)
two blind men, in Matthew 9:27-31 and two more blind men, in M…
The story that we have in the gospels of Mark and Matthew (Mark 14:53-65; Matthew 26:57-68) of the Trial of Jesus before the Sanhedrin seems to contradict many passages in the Mishna in the tractate Sanhedrin, like, for example:
a. Capital…
If the phrase "you have heard" refers to the Scriptures, why is hating one’s enemy not written in the Old Testament.
Matthew 5:43 ASV Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy:
Matthew 4:19 says: Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men!
And, indeed Peter becomes a good fisher of people once that, in Acts 2:41, it is written: "and about three thousand were added to their number that day."
I was…
Matthew 5:29
If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.
Why not left eye? Why not just eyes? What’s the spiri…
[Matthew 16:27-28] For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works. 28 Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they …
There are several references on left/right in the Bible. In general to be at right is good but to be at left is bad.
See, for example, Matthew 25:33
