What is the Reason for Ambiguity in Scripture?
As Alynn and I were experiencing a six-year infestation by demons, I was very aware that, to my knowledge, nothing of this magnitude had happened to consecrated Christians in the history of the church. Of course, I knew that in the Bible, God allowed bizarre fasts and intercessions to be inflicted on His prophets. And in the New Testament, what could be stranger than the Father allowing Lucifer to carry Jesus to the heights of the temple and mountains in the crook of his arm?

But I knew that what Alynn and I were battling everyday was so ambiguous, so unprecedented, that it went without saying that outside of our group and close friends it should forever be hidden.

Yet God had other plans. Although my first response upon hearing of Alynn's death by apparent suicide was to keep her death as quiet as possible, the Holy Spirit began to convince me that I should not fear the bizarre enigmatic dynamics of her story. Instead, I should go to the opposite extreme and set it as high as I could upon the worldwide web and trumpet it to mankind! The world, including the pro-Zionist and apathetic church, should know how real demons are and how intent they are in these last days to delude not only sinners but God's very elect.

God showed me not to be afraid of the ambiguity, the seeming inconsistency and lack of resolution in Alynn's story. I was reminded that often in Scripture God actually created problematic lives, actions, characters, and statements in order to stimulate discussion and controversy. After all, is not life all about the earnest consideration of unresolved, often puzzling issues, requiring us to make our best decision for truth?

God is not afraid of bringing to us radically different and sometimes strange ideas. Who says He is bound to repeat things He has done before? What He wants is for us to look up to Him and His Holy Spirit, not horizontally to human opinion or precedent, as we attempt to know what is real.

In this Bible study, we will consider the question: What is the reason for ambiguities—those that are incomplete, unclear, unresolved, even troubling in Scripture?

When Must We Require Repentance from Others?
The Christian stands apart and above a world beset by rivalries and resentments. The Christian is a person eager to forgive, to seek the eternal life even of those who persecute him.

Yet Jesus, who laid down commands to turn the other cheek, also says there are times when the rejected and maligned Christian must require repentance from those who attack him.

This is not vindictiveness or satisfaction of wounded pride. It is simple justice. It is part of the fact that, while God requires that we love others as ourselves, He, a God of love, is also a God of justice. We as Christians conform ourselves to His image of love yet must also respect God's requirement that justice be done.

In this Bible study we discuss the question: "When must we require repentance from others?"

Can "Luv" Replace the Threat of Hell in Christianity?
Today there is little loyalty among evangelical youth to Christianity. Almost 90 percent leave the church after high school graduation. Among outstanding reasons for such alienation include:

- Lack of courageous church leadership with a proven record of standing of God's truth regardless of consequences.
- Youth are much more loyal to their own career plans - especially if career includes a substitute idealism for Christianity.
- Secularism is thrust upon youth as never before - encouraging doubt of Christianity at an early age.
- Sexual immorality is already engaged in by the majority of evangelical youth.

Yet one of the most compelling reasons evangelical youth have no loyalty to Christianity is because they have no fear of God. They have never been persuaded to fear an eternity in hell.

In this bible study we'll discuss how threat of punishment is necessary, not only to make Christianity work, but life itself.

Could an Exorcist have saved Alynn Pike's Life?
With news of Alynn's death now known by countless numbers worldwide, concerned Christians have written to ask why I did not bring an exorcist to Alynn, ending her victimization by demons.

I have added to my article at www.truthtellers.org (link) describing our experience in which I express my belief that this attack was demonic opposition because of our resistance to Jewish supremacism. Countless times we asked God for deliverance for Alynn, well aware that if I stopped speaking out against Zionism the demons would undoubtedly stop afflicting her.  However, the Holy Spirit made it clear that God wanted us to continue this fight.

Both Old and New Testaments Describe Satanic World Commercial Empire
My article describing Alynn's death at the hand of demonic forces has now been read by tens of thousands. (See Ted Pike: My Wife Died a Martyr for God and Freedom ) In this Bible study, we consider demonic empowerment on two levels. First, I will read my latest article "Demonic Attacks on Alynn Pike Lead to Deeper Questions."

Second, I will discuss how both the Old and New Testaments describe Satan's goal in this world to be establishment of a global commercial empire headed by Lucifer himself. This could happen in our lifetimes.

There is marvelous agreement within the entire Bible on matters of Bible prophesy and the symbols God uses to convey prophetic truth. It is important that Christians appreciate this unity and the rich tapestry of symbolism with which Scripture speaks to God's saints in every age. These scriptures were given to us as guidance and warning. It is important that we be very familiar with them.

How Sanctification is Both Instantaneous and Progressive
The essence of God's plan of salvation is that rebellious men in an instant of time may through repentance and trust in God be brought into complete harmony with their Creator. They may, through such death to self-will experience what has been called "entire sanctification." This truth is unlike the teaching of some religions, which put us on a path toward eventual unity with God.

Yet every person who has turned from sin to Christ and become spiritually sensitized grows aware of ways in which he or she seems to fall short of the righteousness of God. In this Bible study we will discuss how our sanctification is both instantaneous and progressive.

The Sin of Limiting God's Power
God, being all powerful, expects that we respect Him by not limiting His power in any way, especially as He desires to bring truth and deliverance to us through mortal men. Going back to the Hebrew prophets, there has always been a tendency to consider listening to people sent by God as optional. They have their opinions; we have ours.

Not so. If God has anointed a person, he must be listened to and not opposed or criticized for superficial reasons. If you ignore him, you are in fact opposing God. The possibility that God is speaking to us through another person is thus a sacred possibility we must never abuse.

In this Bible study we consider examples from Scripture of people who were not afraid to doubt the person God had sent. As we consider this great sin, let us resolve never, to any degree, to say that we "don't need to listen to" one who very well could be God's messenger.

Suffering May Perfect God's Plan for Your Life
I have written two recent articles at Truthtellers.org warning that increasing enforcement of the U.S. Federal Hate Crimes law has a very high potential of leading to more and yet more indictments against Christians and conservatives. We could be headed in the direction of organized government persecution of dissenters, such as exists in Canada. Are you as a Christian emotionally and spiritually ready to face persecution? I am not being unnecessarily gloomy in asking that question. The Bible clearly states that we as believers should gird ourselves to suffer in the flesh. It says all who live godly shall suffer persecution. Jesus said, "In the world you shall have tribulation."

In this Bible study we will consider ways, if persecution comes, we may not only be strong and ready to meet it; but we will rejoice as did the apostles that we are spiritually perfected and found worthy to suffer for Christ's name.

The Christian is Finished Only When God Says So
Many great saints were so weary and tested by attacks upon them that they feared God's work through them was over. Yet God revived them, sometimes to do even greater works of righteousness. Through their dogged faith and tenacity He was empowered to show forth His mighty power to save.

You also may feel weary, perhaps feeling God has forgotten you - that He is finished with any great plan for your life.

In this Bible study, we revisit a number of Biblical saints who felt the same emotions. Yet God had not forgotten them. In time, He brought deliverance and renewal. The same can happen to every saint who continues to hope and trust in Him.

What is our True Identity as Christians?
Who are we before God?  In our flesh, we largely are defined by the things we do.  But this is not the Christian's true identity.  He is one who trusts God blindly before all other considerations.  Jesus said the Christian's faith is "the mighty work of God." 

Other "good" things may be stripped away.  We may experience imprisonment, paralysis, severe illness, etc. when we can't do "good" things.  During those times of deprivation Satan will be ready to accuse.  "If you were what you should be, you would do good works, as James commands, uniting your faith with works." 

Jesus, however, blunts Satan's ability to accuse.  Jesus says only one thing defines how we please God and so defines our identity: Do we trust and obey Him daily without rebellion?

In this Bible study, we discuss how we can trust God even if all other good things are stripped away. We can have a complete and valid identity under all circumstances.  It is vital every Christian understands that under every limitation and distress we have validity by sincere faith and are always considered a success by God.

What are the Pharaohs in Your Life?
When God commanded Moses to defy Pharaoh, ruler of the most powerful nation on earth, Moses considered himself least qualified. He was wanted for murder and had been a fugitive shepherd in the wilderness of Sinai for 40 years. Yet he was also extremely inarticulate, so "slow of speech" as to be an embarrassment even to common people. How could he then go before the "son king" and credibly demand release of a nation of captive Hebrews?

God proved more than able to compensate for Moses' weaknesses. There is no moment of history that compares in sheer drama and power to the period of the Exodus, when almighty God and one feeble man shook Egypt and set the captives free.

What is the pharaoh in your life? What is the obstacle or obstacles that seem unchallengeable to you?

In this Bible study we will consider the many pharaohs that resist us, both within and without. We will dramatize how God has and will continue to "make a way where there is no way" for those who trust and obey Him.

How Much Confidence Can Christians Place in Leaders?
As America moves toward a Presidential election, Christian/conservatives are assessing whom they might support in the decisive election next year. Of course, it is taken for granted by thinking people that the candidates chosen for us, largely by the Zionist-dominated political establishment, will fall far below what we could wish – far below the kind of leadership that might save America. Instead, as is usually the case, we may have to choose the lesser of evils.

Yet at every level of society and life, there are those who may ask of us that we put our confidence in them. A young man asks this of the girl he wants to marry. A father expects the same of his children. A pastor requires such confidence from his congregation.

Yet it was said of Jesus that he didn’t believe in the multitude who believed in him, “for he knew what was in man.”

Confidence in a leader is not considered evil by Scripture as long as that leader possesses a demonstrated record which justifies such trust. In this Bible study, we’ll discuss some of the qualities which every leader at every level must possess if we are to safely put our confidence in them and not be led astray.

God Gives Special Grace to His Cracked Vessels: Part 2
Previously we discussed how God gave special consideration to "flawed" Peter over "perfect" Nathaniel. This speaks of God's grace for those of us, like Peter, who are imperfect in mind, body, background, etc.

Often, sincere Christians are plagued with guilt that their flaws and weaknesses are sin. They are not sin – unless we give up attempting to transcend them and, in rebellion to the known will of God, do what we clearly know is contrary to His will.

In this Bible study, I analyze the many varieties of "cracks" in our earthen vessels. Such infirmities, which we did not ask for, are meant to a large degree to be put upon Christ's cross. God, in fact, has deigned to be glorified by such weakness – so that our boast might not be of ourselves, but in Christ alone.

God Gives Special Grace to His Cracked Vessels: Part 1
Jesus described one of his disciples, Nathaniel, as "a man in whom there is no guile." Nathaniel is mentioned six times in the New Testament. In contrast, Jesus bore with and even reproved Peter repeatedly – a disciple characterized by passion for Christ, yet of an impetuous, man-fearing, non-theological nature. He is mentioned 163 times. This underscores that God has a special interest – and patience in using and bringing out the best in flawed, cracked human vessels into which He pours the Water of life.

In this first of two parts, we give encouragement to those of us whose very weaknesses serve to magnify the power of God to save.

When to Turn the Cheek and When to Fight
(Should Ted Pike have remained silent to Farah's libel?)
Over the past few weeks I have been led to respond to Defamation of my character by World Net Daily CEO and editor Joseph Farah. He publicly called me "a liar and anti-Semite." I have challenged him to document his charges. He won't.

Public response to my request has been overwhelmingly favorable. However, there is an opinion among some Christians which says that in cases like this I should remain silent, preferring to be wronged. Or, I should entreat Farah privately.

In this Bible study, we will review what the New Testament teaches about the Christian's duty, or lack of it, to resist evil. When should we pull back and when should we do battle?

The Satanic Storm: Part 2
In our previous Bible study, we saw how Christ in the garden gave Himself and His disciples to Satan's temporary captivity. Jesus knew His own power to eventually deliver Himself and His followers from any hint of satanic dominion. In this Bible study, we consider my suggestion that this New Testament pattern of defeat—yet ultimate deliverance through Christ, suggests a much broader scenario: the whole course of events to the end of the church age also reveals a scattering of the church's power, but eventual rescue by Christ and His second coming.

Largely as a result of present deception of the church by Babylon the Great (Zionist world control) (See 'Babylon the Great' is Israel), as well as a "great falling away," the church, like the disciples will be ruthlessly weakened, hiding out for fear of the Jews. They will be hiding out "for fear of the Jews." The world also will become so corrupted that Satan will literally occupy and rule it through the anti-Christ.

Yet in spite of such utter degeneracy and hopelessness, Christ appears in the heavens, judging wickedness, redeeming His church, and reinvigorating the world with truth and hope for a thousand years.

This reminds us that Christ can use all things, including Satanic onslaughts that may last for days—or through the ages—to focus all mankind on the fact that He is the Deliverer. He is the only hope of people, families, churches, and nations—the only one with unlimited power to save.

The Satanic Storm: Part 1
There exists such a thing as demonic onslaught upon believers of a magnitude well above what Christians normally experience. It is usually satanic response to attack by the saints against strongholds of evil.

One of the great objectives of Truthtellers' Bible studies is to thoroughly prepare Christian warriors, both now and in generations to come, to effectively wage spiritual warfare and survive. Every intercessor must be fully aware of the incredible power of Satan to hit back, attempting to disorient and weaken us. In this Bible study, we consider examples of satanic storms which Biblical saints endured. They emerged from such turbulence all the stronger – so can you.

Going Down for Others to be Exalted in God's Plan
Logic says those who work should be rewarded, yet in this Bible study we discuss how in the spiritual realm God often requires that some pay a heavy price for the furtherance of other saints.   A primary example is John the Baptist who was predestined to decline before Christ, even losing his head.  Jacob and Rebecca also went down in shame that lasts to this day in order to preserve the birthright.  Joseph went down to slavery in Egypt to provide deliverance of his brethren as well as humanity during world famine.  Moses went down from possible rulership of Egypt to become a shepherd in Sinai for 40 years.  Christ is the ultimate example of going down in order that others may be exalted to salvation and heaven.

The intercessor's concern and willingness to suffer for that concern may last for a lifetime.  I believe such spiritual power continues to be appropriated by God even after the intercessor has died, as God remembers his lifetime of price-paying.

God Revives the Weary
This is a time of unprecedented stress for those striving to save civilization. Yet God is known throughout Scripture as the One who revives the weary. As He has been faithful in the past to give renewed strength to His embattled Christian soldiers, so He can be depended upon to do the same today. Oppressive as the times may be, there is never any reason for the Christian warrior to become overly depressed or, even worse, experience a "burnout" in which he simply can no longer face opposition from anti-Christ forces.

In this Bible study, I read and discuss a number of Biblical examples of how God revived His greatest saints. Such give hope to us that, weary as we may be, God will be faithful to revive us - to make a way of escape that we may be able to keep fighting.

Tactics of Satan to Tempt and Oppose Christians (Part 3)
In this third of our series on how Satan tempts the Christian, we consider how Calvinism and Catholicism deal with Satanic attack. In both systems, because sin is largely considered normal and inevitable, being accused of sin by Satan does not unduly trouble Calvinist and Catholic believers. The Calvinist remains "eternally secure" while the Catholic's sin is covered by confession and being part of Christ's body, the true church.

We also discuss at length how a very different interpretation of Christianity, Wesleyanism (Quakers and Methodists) went to the other extreme, correctly demanding total abdication to Christ in order to be saved yet tragically never fully understanding the believer's right to rest completely in Christ through childlike trust.

Conclusion of Series: Spiritual Rest

We conclude by clearly explaining how authentic Christianity boldly teaches both death to self-will and also power to know with certainty that God cannot be angry with or condemn those who trust and obey Him to the best of their ability, hanging upon His mercy.

Tactics of Satan to Tempt and Oppose Christians (Part 2)
Most people in Western nations believe that, for all practical purposes, our own energies and intelligence, as well as the forces of nature, determine what is real and what happens. Although many believe in an intelligent God, or first cause of some kind, most do not actively live and act as if there exist invisible beings influencing us.
Yet the Bible says that since primordial ages unceasing war between intelligent forces of good and evil has been going on in the invisible realm – and it's very much about us. Angels and demons exist in the most intense competition for our souls – doing their best to persuade us to inhabit either heaven or hell with them for eternity.

How to Make Evangelicals a Fighting Force for Freedom
This Bible study is a much more extensive equivalent to my alert to be released on Monday evening, September 19th, under the same title. In this session I discuss how and why the church has let evil, particularly Jewish Supremacist control of government, media, finance, education, etc. overrun America. I lay the blame largely upon an evangelical pulpit which "for fear of the Jews," but also fear of its increasingly immature and carnal congregations, has not spoken the whole truth or backed up the truth with action.

Yet, as I say in tonight's e-alert, "Anti-Zionist Evangelicals Flocking to Truthtellers.org," thousands of evangelicals are coming to the spiritually and politically empowering message of Truthtellers.org. This gives me great hope that a "Gideon's band" of evangelicals may yet arise, both to hold back apostasy and Zionist control, but to successfully entreat God to delay ascent of Babylon the Great, allowing at least another generation to live in peace and freedom.

Counterfeits of God's Ethics
In the previous two Bible studies on God's ethics, we saw how Christians can consider any story from the Bible, no matter how bizarre, and discover higher divine ethical purposes -- purposes that work toward good and God's agenda of love and justice. We do not have to impose upon such stories incredible rationalizations, saying, "God's ways are above reason." Instead, God gives enough toehold of explanation and coherence to reveal one great truth: that God is above even the laws He has created for man and that He is working all things together for good for those who trust and obey Him.

In this Bible study, we consider how man-devised religious systems of "Christianity" invent preposterous, unworkable doctrines and claim such doctrines reveal God's higher ways. Despite being without reason or commonsense, they claim such ideas have come down from God and are beyond criticism. Of course, a skeptical world correctly concludes such is nonsense and, tragically, discredits Christianity at large.

But that is not true of stories related in the Bible. They not only oriented believers when they happened but continue to provide incredible depths of guidance, perspective, and inspiration to Christians today.

PART 2: Understanding God's Ethics: How His Values Are Different from Man's
To understand the Bible, particularly the Old Testament, the Christian must appreciate that God has a long-range purpose in all that He does. Such may conflict with the short-term, man-oriented values and morality we consider just and good; yet, if we humble ourselves to see His higher way, He has promised to "lead us into all truth."

In this Bible study, I continue to explore a wide variety of examples from Scripture in which God's ways conflict with man's. For example, I discuss the Old Testament's strict requirement of oath keeping, as in the story of Jephthah's vow (Judges 11:29-40). I also consider Christ's requirement that the married never remarry except in the case of adultery by their spouse.

Do you have trouble understanding these and other of the baffling examples of God's ethics? Listen to this Bible study with your friends and family; and, as you seek His will alone, He will open your eyes.

White Christians Persecuted Under Black Supremacists in Africa
White separatists believe that exclusively white and black societies on different continents are the only ultimate solution to the race problem. Such will be made possible, they predict, by willing immigration of all blacks, especially in North America and Europe, to Africa. The result will be happy, fulfilled cultures for both blacks and whites – but in different regions of the world. (See my latest article: "Ted Pike's Reply to David Duke")

Liberals in the 1960’s posited a similar scenario, demanding that colonial powers exit a new black-controlled Africa. The liberals promised such would usher in a renaissance of black pride, culture and productivity, bringing Africa to its fullest potential.

In this Bible study we consider what really happened as a result of putting liberal theory into practice more than 40 years ago. The result of European withdrawal has been an Africa largely in crisis. Devastating tribal wars and atrocities, even genocide, have torn much of Africa apart, with resultant economic malaise, famine and disease.

Our Bible study group watches the extremely powerful PBS “POV” documentary “Mugabe and the White African.” This is the chilling story of a family of white Christian farmers struggling in former British Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, mercilessly harassed by black Marxist dictator Robert Mugabe’s gangs of land-stealing, murderous thugs. You can watch this outstanding documentary with us (see link below) and listen to our discussion as we ponder two very important points.

First, despite much exploitation of Africa by European colonial powers, such white influence nevertheless provided a powerfully civilizing, stabilizing and economically empowering substratum for Africa, making it possible for the “dark continent” to enter the modern world. Widespread chaos, however, since the 60s strongly suggests that black nations benefit from a substantial white presence. If left in “racial purity,” as both liberals and white supremacists have suggested (as in Haiti), the tendency seems not toward ascent but the opposite.

The second important point is that when Christians, as in Zimbabwe, are really persecuted, there is an end of American style religious game-playing. I both dread and hope, American Christians, someday under similar attack, will also understand what complete trust in and honesty toward God is all about.

Bible Supports Immigration Control
Is it harsh and unloving for American Christians to deny the "teeming masses" of the world "yearning to breathe free" unfettered rights to come to the U.S. and pursue the American dream? In this Bible study I discuss a number of stories from Scripture that reveal God respects the right of nations to preserve their racial and religious heritage from dilution through excessive immigration. Such immigration control, Scripture indicates, is not racist, but included under the term "bounds of their habitation" which God Himself has authorized as the birthright endowment which founder peoples and cultures are entitled to pass on to their descendants.

The Book of Job, Ancient yet Amazingly Modern and Relevant
The book of Job is thought to be one of the oldest books of the Bible. Yet it is also one of the most modern and relevant. It dramatizes the eternal question: Why do the righteous suffer? It also reveals that the same heresies and accusations against true spirituality that exist today were alive and well in Job's time.

In this Bible study, we will consider central arguments against Job by his so-called friends. We will also discuss how Job held to his integrity and how, in his intense frustration, he became reckless in his description of God. As a result, both Elihu and God reproved him.

The book of Job is a very long book, with many lengthy speeches by all concerned. This can prove wearying and confusing. Yet the central message and great truths of the book are vital toward empowering us today to victoriously persevere through our own, perhaps withering trials.

The Conflict between Idealism and Realism in Scripture and Life
Man yearns to have things go right. We like to view life as a story we can understand and hopefully predict. We long for storybook endings. As Christians, we want to believe that storybook endings, like those found in the Bible, will happen to us. We wish that becoming a Christian will put God on our side: He will make ideal consequences a part of His gift of salvation and favor toward us.

In this Bible study, we will consider what the Bible teaches concerning the conflict between our idealism and the demonstrated tendency of things in our lives to go wrong, even for Christians.

What is God's Grace? Part 2
The coastal plain that leads from Egypt to Palestine is one of the flattest, most easily traversed stretches of land on earth. Now called the Gaza Strip, it was originally lush with fertile grasslands, the primary, well-traveled trade route between Egypt and the Middle East.

Yet when God wanted to lead the children of Israel from Egypt to their Promised Land, He rejected the logical direct route. Instead, He took them through some of the most uninhabitable, mountainous, virtually waterless terrain on earth, the Sinai Peninsula. Why? Because, as we saw in the last Bible study, God's power is perfected in the Christian's precariousness. His grace is made perfect when we desperately need it, literally in order to survive.

In this Bible study, we will consider the many verses from Scripture which clarify the powerful ways God's grace comes to Christians.

What is God's Grace? Part 1
Many Christians throughout history, sick, persecuted, disheartened, have wondered where God's promised grace was. Even some of the greatest prophets felt that way, wishing for decisive relief. Yet in this first of a two part series on grace, I point out that His grace is sufficient for those who trust. Yet it is usually manifested in innumerable and subtle ways, lightening our load and helping us on our way. Like the work of the Holy Spirit's still small voice which manifoldly operates to comfort and guide, God's grace envelopes and sustains. Only in heaven will we realize how ever present, extensive and faithful his grace was.

Can Satan Affect the Christian's Mind?
Most Christians agree that Satan can attack our bodies, actually getting inside us to cause boils, as he did with Job, or a "thorn in the flesh," as he did with Paul. Yet, although our minds are part of our physical bodies, most Christians would deny that demons can enter a Christian's brain, influencing his thoughts or even speech.

However, in the Old Testament account of David's numbering of the people (II Sam. 24:1-25, I Chron. 21: 1-27), we find Satan, authorized by God, creating an obsession in the righteous king to find out how many soldiers he had. This contradicted God's standard that it is He, not the arm of the flesh, that saves Israel.

We also discuss in this Bible study how Peter, losing absolute confidence in Christ, immediately became the mouthpiece of Satan, rebuking Christ when He said he must die on the cross (Matt.16:13-24).

Judas, already possessing a devil (John 6:70), was rebuked by Christ for disapproving of Christ's acceptance of the offering of expensive ointment (Mark 14:1-11). Such faithless criticism of Christ ultimately caused Judas' mind and actions to be completely taken over by Lucifer himself (John 13:27).

Many find disturbing these Biblical examples of demonic invasion of the minds of both righteous and fleshly followers of Christ. Perhaps they should be downplayed or even ignored, they suggest. Yet this is the Bible, of which the Christian cannot be ashamed. These Scriptures are vital reminders to us of the spiritual warfare we are in, especially in these last days when Scripture prophecies we will experience an outpouring of demonic activity. The only safety is in keeping our eternal souls, which Satan cannot invade without our permission, secure through continuous trust and obedience to our Savior.

Does the New Testament Encourage Communal Christianity Today?
The book of Acts holds up communal Christianity as a dynamically powerful system for the advancement of the gospel. Why then was it abandoned after a relatively brief period? Why have similar Christian communes, established throughout history, inevitably disintegrated?

In this Bible study, we will inquire why Christians (in the book of Acts) having all things in common was so successful, and how the spirit of communal Christianity might be revived among the most consecrated believers today. Hopefully a return to the principles and values underlying 1st century "Christian socialism" might help reinvigorate the power and spirituality of the early church in the church today.

A Checklist for Christian Crusaders
As never before the church faces staggering forces determined to deceive and destroy Christianity and the civilization it has birthed. Do you desire to become the kind of tenacious defender of God and freedom that can be depended upon to powerfully do your part, for the rest of your life, to hold back the darkness?

In this Bible study, I list what I believe are the most essential requirements for any Christian to fight the good fight to the finish. Since our battle is primarily spiritual, the "right stuff" empowering the Christian crusader is gotten, not by the gifts of nature, but by our hard choices for God and truth.

God Smiles on Those Who Seek His Face
In the Garden of Eden, God took the initiative to come to man repeatedly. Man was the passive recipient of God's attention. Yet, after man sinned, God required that those who would be saved must actively seek His face. Yes, in sending Jesus to die for our sins, God powerfully reveals how much He is willing to do for us. But we must do our part. "The Lord said, 'Seek my face.' Thy face, Oh, Lord, will I seek." (Ps.27:8)

Is God's face smiling or scowling at us? God requires we find out through repentance and faith. We need to do it now. Scripture warns, "Seek God while He may be found."

Yet, many define themselves as spiritually secure, without having to earnestly seek God's face. For them, logic and experience confirm that they are basically good. But disillusionment with our moral self-sufficiency is required of all, especially "the good" in their own eyes.

In this Bible study, I discuss how, only when we continuously seek God in sincere obedient faith do we attain salvation, identity, and full power and stature as adventurers with God, navigating by the radiant star of His countenance.

The Unpardonable Sin
Jesus held up a little child, innocently coming to Him, as the height of sincerity. Such a child is able to perceive and act with unfeigned directness toward truth as he understands it. The child's native sincerity is the birthright of each of us.

Yet such sincerity can be so abused as to be lost. When that happens it might never be regained, despite our best efforts. It happened to Esau and Saul. They sinned the unpardonable sin.

In this Bible Study, we consider the scriptural truth that "there is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it." (1 John 5:16)

How might we come to such a terrifying state that God no longer wants us, having abandoned all entreaties to draw us to salvation? Listen to this Bible Study and make absolutely sure that when you stand before your Maker, this most horrific offense will not be charged against you.

Evangelicals Agree With Rebels of Ancient Israel Saying Obedience Not Required to Occupy Palestine
Today, both Zionist Jews and pro-Zionist evangelicals ignore the Biblical requirement that obedience is necessary for a nation of Jews to occupy Palestine. This command is clearly stated dozens of times in the Old Testament (See List of Conditional Salvation Verses). Yet, from the very beginning, rebellious Hebrews hated it. Their descendants have now convinced most evangelicals to ignore and even hate to be reminded of God's uncompromising terms.

In this Bible study, we trace the history of Jewish contempt for God's demand of "no faith, no occupation." We read many Old Testament verses laying down God's law. We also consider the best (although pathetically weak) argument of Zionist evangelicals in trying to justify their modern overthrow of God's law.

Why Do We Choose God?
In this Bible study, I ask why some of us choose Christ. Do we choose Him because of what He can do for us? Or do we choose Him for what He is? Loving Creator, Savior, Friend.

The message of salvation holds out certain promises: God will save us from hell. God will forgive our sins. God will change our sin nature. God will make us love Him. God will make us love our neighbors as ourselves. God will reward us with heaven.

Yet if we do not actually want GOD more than any of these things, our attempt at Christianity is vain. Instead we are making an experiment to see if faith and repentance “works for me,” to give me what I want.

We may be disappointed. Yes, God does say, “Taste and see that the Lord is good.” Yet God does not want us to manipulate Him and Christ’s sacrifice as a test. If we do, He may not give us the “proof” we desire. He may be testing us, asking “What do you want most? Me, or those blessings I can give you?”

God may want to see if we will now become angry at God, or say that faith doesn’t work, or even choose Satan (who CAN give us “good things”)—when we don’t get the things we wanted to get from faith.

What is to be done with a person who says he has “tried Christianity” and it doesn’t work?

He, as Scripture says, “has asked amiss, that he may consume it on his own desires.”

In order for such a person to please God and eventually receive the blessings God does promise, that person must start over. He must pray this prayer:

“Lord, I am nothing. You are everything. I have no rights. You have all rights. I want YOU and You alone. Please be my God, friend and savior. If you never give me anything more, I will continue to choose you over anything else forever. Amen.”

Regardless of what sins we have committed, everyone still has a free will and must pray this prayer to become a Christian—to be truly “born again.”

This prayer and approach to God is not an experiment. It does not lay down conditions. It does not put God to the test, making our belief conditional on His performance. Instead, it demonstrates total lack of self-sufficiency to save ourselves. This is the barest requirement of salvation for anyone.

In this Bible Study we discuss Paul's life as a strong example of this desire for God alone.

Reason Underlies God's Commands
God is not threatened by our use of reason to understand His ways. He is not threatened by our desire to see the sense in some of Scripture's hard sayings, or strange things God did or required His servants to do - particularly in the Old Testament.

God is only threatened by rebellion to Him. Such defiance usually manifests itself in the sinner's claim that God's way is unreasonable or unworkable. As a result the rebel rationalizes he has the right to go his own way.

Actually, if we bear with God concerning what we don't understand, seeking and praying that He will open the eyes of our understanding, God will honor that blind faith and love of His truth. He may well give us the answers we seek.

God Allows Fiery Trials But Is Also The Deliverer
Many have big problems with a God who commanded Abraham to offer his only son, Isaac, as a burnt offering. Yet God has the right to test our loyalty in any way He chooses. His purposes are out of love and for our good and will be vindicated if we pass the "fiery trial" (I Peter 4:2) He may allow.

Far from this story revealing the incomprehensibility of the Old Testament God, Jesus (Jehovah), Who gave the command, was signifying His own bloody sacrifice for the sins of the world. That's why He sent Abraham and Isaac on a three days' journey to the slopes of Mt. Moriah, the very Temple Mount at Jerusalem, where Christ 2000 years later would eat His last supper and then be sentenced to die as "the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."

If the story of God's command to Abraham is human in origin, how did Abraham know to go to a distant hill at Jerusalem, next to Golgotha, where Christ would be sacrificed?

In this Bible study I remind all Christians that, although God may authorize fiery and baffling trials for us, He works all things together for good to those who bear with Him (and the Old Testament) and trust and obey.

Circumcision
In our latest audio sermon at Truthtellers.org, I dive into two explosive issues: why God is always male in Scripture and why He demanded the circumcision of every Jewish baby boy.

As the ultimate Sire of all that exists, Christ the Creator embodies the vital role that is male: providing the seed and procreative initiative for life. To foreshadow the assault upon Himself at Calvary, in which, lacerated and bloodied He screamed in anguish, Christ (as Jehovah) required every Hebrew male to experience bloodshed in circumcision and similarly cry out in pain. Anticipating Christ, each male among God's "chosen people" symbolically looked forward to the spiritual deliverance the Messiah would someday bring the sinful Jewish nation. Similarly, every Christian today looks backward remembering Christ's anguish, joyfully bearing our cross of possible suffering and shame.

Circumcision is thus not inscrutable. It is not a baffling deviance of a primitive “slaughterhouse” religion. It also did not exist primarily for hygienic reasons. Circumcision symbolized the momentous fact that the Jewish people existed to herald the Messiah.... Read the rest of the article here

Sharing Christ's Humiliation
One of the most powerful Old Testament prophecies concerning Christ is this: "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter…In His humiliation, His judgment was taken away..." (Acts 8:32)

It is astonishing that the King and Creator of the universe should require that His reconciliation of man to God be made possible by not only His physical suffering and death but also the prolonged humiliation of the crucifixion.

This is especially relevant to many Christians who now know the truth about Jewish supremacism and Israel.  As they try to bring such truth to their churches, they face ostracism and vilification as "anti-Semitic," even public humiliation from the pulpit.  They may well be driven from their churches.

In this Bible study we will consider the fact that it is not sufficient for Christ to have endured humiliation alone.  We, as His witnesses to a church massively deluded by anti-Christ Zionism, must expect and joyfully accept such treatment.  Our Lord tells us to "leap for joy" when "Israel-first" evangelicals treat us this way.  (Luke 6:23)  Jesus said that in such a manner His true prophets have always been abused.

Our Responsibility to Reality
Recently, Bill Moyers said young people today are not responsive to truth for its own sake. They accept truth if it fits into their pre-existing belief systems. Barna Research, which studies trends in evangelical thinking, describes exactly the same pattern trend as the new generation in the church customizes their beliefs to fit their desires.

If this trend continues, man is doomed to drift further and further from truth and reality into delusion, into the fantasy land of values and policies based on wishful, not factual, thinking.

In this Bible study we consider the fact that, although fashions may change, God and His nature have ordained that man live in line with reality. If man defies the realities of earthly existence, he may create his own hell on earth; but if he scorns the required gratitude and obedience to his Heavenly Maker, the Ultimate Reality, he awaits an eternity in hell.

Christians Should Hate Evil and Resist It Vehemently
God hates evil. Considering God’s awesome power to damn all who rebel against Him, defiance of God and His laws should be the most frightening activity known to man.

Yet that is not the case. Mankind and even much of the church is numb to the occurrence of sin. Unshockable, for most, sin is just part of being human.

However, the great biblical figures were passionately disturbed by sin in Israel. They even took violent action against it. In this Bible study, we will consider some of their most vivid, even extreme responses to evil. This sets a necessary standard to us today that it is not enough to just dislike sin—we must hate it!

Empowerments of the Holy Spirit, Part 3:
Working With the Holy Spirit to Hold Back Evil
It is always sad when a Christian/conservative activist, wearied by perhaps decades of political defeats, finally "burns out" in his or her desire to stay in the fight. Yet in this Bible study I describe how the Holy Spirit, the "comforter," came into the world in fullness to renew, encourage, and empower Christian soldiers -- lifting their spirits to fight on. I also describe the Holy Spirit's role in helping preserve the often fragile unity between activist saints, purifying their hearts in love toward fellow patriots.

In many other ways, I relate how the Holy Spirit empowers us to help Him resist the appearance of anti-Christ. This may seem a futile struggle at times, but is actually described by Scripture, along with evangelism, as "noble and glorious."

Can Christians Defend Old Testament Killing of Canaanites?
The most criticized part of the Bible is surely the Old Testament killing of Canaanites by invading Hebrews under Joshua. They were commanded by God to rid Canaan of its wicked inhabitants and also permitted to enslave them. How can Christians defend God’s authorization of this seeming inhumanity?

In my latest Bible study I will do my best to not only make sense of this perennial difficulty for both believers and nonbelievers but actually justify God's actions through the Hebrews.

Empowerments of the Holy Spirit, Part 2
In my last Bible study, I pointed out that man and humanistic religious systems have always preferred human leadership rather than the Holy Spirit's. Although we admit God's Holy Spirit must see and understand everything and possess total powers of communication to us, nevertheless, humanity is reluctant to step out in faith and accept such empowerment through total consecration. Instead, we are prone to accepting guidance from learned leaders.

In this Bible study, I continue to discuss the vast and amazing empowerments bequeathed by the Holy Spirit. I boldly affirm what Scripture demands: the active dominant role of guidance of the Holy Spirit in the Christian's life.

We must restore the honor due the Greatest Communicator, the Holy Spirit. In this first part of our Holy Spirit series, I attempt to describe the full magnitude of the Holy Spirit’s gifts and empowerment of the church.

Early church prelates committed an abomination by stealing the right of His final authority and guidance to Christians. This abuse continues in the popular Calvinist claim that the Bible is the ultimate guide for the believer.

This series proves from Scripture and reason that if we submit entirely to Christ, His Holy Spirit is more than able to teach and lead us with a wisdom and sensitivity far beyond man’s power.

Truthtellers’ Young People Discuss Outreach, Protest at Easter
Evangelical youth are increasingly distancing themselves from protest of evil. This is largely because most have never witnessed church leadership boldly taking a stand against liberalism, pornography, homosexuality, alcohol or evolution. Without such precedent, millions of young adults from evangelical churches, especially on campus, simply blend in. They have little conception of their duty or ability to exert redeeming influence, especially if it might generate controversy.
In this Bible study, a number of primarily college-age students in our group discuss the liberal/evangelical backlash to their recent public protest of the establishment of a Planned Parenthood clinic on their college campus. These young people present a lively discussion and testimony of what the power of Christ means to them at Easter – to change not only their own hearts, but the world.

The Christian’s Right to Forget the Past and Embrace the Future
Today almost one out of four babies is murdered through abortion in the United States. This means that if an American adult repents and trusts Jesus there is a high likelihood he or she may have committed murder. Many, however, who have killed their unborn child, hearing of Christ’s offer of forgiveness, cannot bring themselves to believe they are worthy.

Yet in this Bible study I discuss how King David, guilty of both adultery and murder, was forgiven and went forward in faith – even though he had to live with the physical repercussions of what he had done.

This gives hope to the vilest sinner that if he cries out to God for mercy and goes toward Him for the rest of his life, God is not only willing to forgive – but eager!

What is Heresy?
Christians use the word "heresy" to describe false religious doctrines that distort the nature of God, His law, His plan of salvation, etc. But since heretical ideas are damnable, we must define heresy very carefully and biblically.

In this Bible study, I define the term "heresy" and discuss the very dangerous and soul-imperiling heresies contained in religious systems today. These include theological errors leading to one of the greatest heresies of all time: unconditional approval of Israel and Jewish right to occupy Palestine as a nation in unbelief.

Ten Top Examples of Great Faith
The ultimate goal of every Christian should be great faith – faith that makes God and the angels marvel.
Yet there exists a tremendous gap between the reality of God’s power to hear and save vs. man’s ability to really believe.
Christ revealed the nearly overwhelming inability, even of his own disciples, to rise to truly great faith. Many times He scolds them, “o ye of little faith”.
In this bible study we consider ten examples of the most superlative faith in Scripture. Why is it that such heroes of the faith were able to transcend in their belief when most people, then and now cannot?

What is the Proper Relationship of the Christian to an Ungodly World?
After Christ ascended, the early church had little time and opportunity for isolation. It was thrust into challenges from the two ruling cultures of the time: Pharisaic Judaism and Roman/pagan humanism.

Today, Christians are similarly submerged in paganism—especially calculated corruption proceeding from Jewish-controlled big media in America. (See, Jews Confirm Big Media is Jewish) Such creates many of the same dilemmas the early church faced.

In this Bible study, I discuss how, just as early Christians triumphed under even greater assault, Christians and their families can remain unspotted by the world today.

Why Christ was "Begotten" by the Father
In this second Bible study on the Trinity, I discuss the Biblical truth that the term “only begotten Son of God” does not refer to Christ’s incarnation at Bethlehem, where both the Holy Spirit and Mary played a role in bringing the Son of Man to earth. Scripture indicates that there existed a previous “day” when Christ was differentiated, or “begotten,” by the Father. God, for purposes of love and redemption of men and angels, became three in one. (Psalm 2:7)

Does this sound like heresy? It’s not. Such Biblical truth contrasts sharply with the Arian, Jehovah’s Witness, and Mormon view that Christ never existed until He was created by God the Father. Scripture powerfully suggests that, although the great “I Am,” Jesus, has always existed in a unitary God, for the purposes of becoming the Creator/sin-bearer, He was “begotten” or differentiated as a Son.

God in His holiness, justice and love never changes, yet Christ said, “It is lawful to do good.” It was lawful for God to reformat Himself for our good, just as it was lawful for Him to also “change” for 33 years while two thirds of Deity remained in heaven with one third, Jesus, on earth. Here, Christ demonstrated the astonishing lengths God will go to in order to save.

Nothing Could Exist Without Christ and the Trinity
Christians accept the Biblical doctrine of the Trinity by faith, not fully understanding how God can be three in one. Yet, in my latest Bible study, we explore the fact that, without differentiation of Christ as Creator and sin-bearer, it is doubtful that a unitary God would ever create a discord-producing universe and free-willed beings who rebel against Him.

Thus, the Trinity, and Christ’s pivotal creative and reconciling role within it, is not just a theological mystery but absolutely vital to our existence.

Esther, The Book that shouldn't be in the Bible
As Timothy tells us, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." (II Tim. 3:16)

Yet, historically, some of the greatest Christian thinkers and defenders of the faith, including Athanasius and Martin Luther, have been deeply suspicious of the Old Testament book of Esther. They found it humanistic and Jew-exalting, not God-exalting. The book never mentions the name of God; He is never prayed to, thanked, or praised.

In my latest article, "The Pseudo-Biblical Book of Esther," I deal briefly with such objections and in this Bible study consider in even greater detail problems which have caused Christian scholars throughout the ages to doubt Esther's qualifications to be part of the canon of Scripture.

I am aware that this discussion may be deeply disturbing to Bible-believing Christians but encourage you to trust the Holy Spirit for guidance as together we "test the spirits" to find out whether Esther and the principles it teaches really qualify as divine inspiration.

Prophetic Sequences Unlock God's Plan for Future
Are you uncertain which interpretation of Bible prophecy is right: pretibulation "rapture" dispensationalism, amilllennialism (Christian reconstructionism, preterism), or the futurist millennialist viewpoint that we teach at Truthtellers.org?

There is a very simple way to find the truth. Scan with us in our latest Bible study the many "prophetic sequences" of Scripture which repeatedly emphasize the simple progression of events leading directly to the Second Coming of Christ. If your mind is open and you are humble before God, I think you will begin to see that Bible prophecy is really one of the easiest elements of Christian doctrine to understand.

Should Christians Forgive Without Repentance from the Offender?
As a result of “pop-theology” trends over the past 40 years, most evangelicals believe it is both duty and release for them to forgive others - even though the "forgiven" don't ask forgiveness. In this Bible study, I point out that the sins others commit against us are also sins against God. A triad of individuals are involved, necessitating the Biblical requirement that the offending party request to be forgiven. Until that happens and both God and the wounded have granted forgiveness, there is neither real forgiveness, nor justice.

What Christ’s Atonement Does and Does Not Do
Scripture teaches that Christ’s sacrifice at Calvary unleashed enormous spiritual power to forgive sin, reconcile the repentant to God, and remove our appetite for iniquity. Yet modern Pentecostalism teaches that the atonement does much more – it guarantees physical healing and financial prosperity.

Calvinism, similarly adulterates the atonement, teaching that it reconciles to God those predestined to be saved, but, for all practical purposes cannot be counted upon to remove the sin-nature from us. Only death can separate us from our “sinful” bodies.

In this Bible study, I consider biblically authentic versus false conceptions of the atonement – followed by lively and thoughtful comments from members of our group.

The Delusions of Pentecostalism PART 2
Cults of Christianity do not emphasize what Scripture does. Instead, they lift out selected passages or concepts and give full attention to them. In this Bible study, I point out that this is exactly what Pentecostalism does.

Ignoring the many restrictions on public speaking in tongues presented by St. Paul, it becomes a spectacle to the world, discrediting Christianity itself. As millions observe mass "glossolalia," (especially as presented worldwide on Trinity Broadcasting Network), how can they fail to conclude (as Paul warned they would) that Christianity is a religion of the unstable or insane?

The Delusions of Pentecostalism PART 1
During the past hundred years, Pentecostalism has exploded onto the religious scene worldwide, becoming, along with Baptists, the largest group within evangelical Christianity.

Pentecostals believe that without speaking in tongues (glossolalia) the believer cannot receive the full wisdom and empowerment of the Holy Spirit. Yet, even though claiming an extra measure of divine enlightenment, most Pentecostals, led by pro-Israel demagogues such as Pastor John Hagee, remain deluded by the Great Harlot, Israel. (See, Babylon the Great is Israel)

Do Prophets Exist Today?
Today, mainline evangelical Christianity is not attracted to the possibility that prophets still exist. Part of this aversion is in reaction to a century of Pentecostalism, with its emphasis upon emotion, signs and wonders. It is also because the church does not like the idea of prophetic authority and prefers the structure and predictability which it believes the Bible alone is authorized to give the believer.
Yet the New Testament is replete with examples of prophets existing in the church age. In fact, St. Paul actively encourages believers to seek the gift of prophecy.
In this Bible study I discuss the role of prophecy today, particularly the prophetic role of every believer who fulfills the very definition of prophecy – which is to speak the words of God to the people.

What Is Sin?
In order to successfully live authentic Christianity, it is vital that Christians fully understand what sin is, and is not.

The Bible Teaches Only Conditional Salvation
There is no law in Scripture more fundamental than God's conditional requirement that we cooperate with Him in order to be saved.

Yet, popular Calvinism overthrows God's law in two ways. It teaches: 1) that if we are once soundly "born again" we will certainly be saved, regardless of the sins we commit; and 2) that God allows Jews as a nation to occupy Palestine in disobedience.

In this Bible study, I consider some of the many New Testament verses which clearly teach that without continued obedience no one has any inheritance with God.

God's Power to be Literal and Specific Towards Us, Not Just Spiritual and Obscure
When my wife Alynn was single and in her early twenties, her mother was driving her to work in rush-hour traffic during a rain shower. Traveling about 50 miles per hour, their car began to hydroplane, rotating in a circle. Alynn looked up to see a semi-truck barreling toward them. But just before it would have collided with them, their Ford Galaxy was lifted several feet off the pavement, propelled over the guard rail, gently deposited on a steep incline of blackberry vines, and carefully poised above a 75 foot ravine. It took just seconds for their vehicle to be lifted vertically and brought to a complete stop - without momentum, and in complete defiance of the laws of physics.

Without that miracle, I would not have my beautiful wife and co-host beside me in my videos, now seen by many hundreds of thousands. (Watch the NPN film, Why the Mid-East Bleeds).

In this Bible study, I discuss instances from Scripture where God reveals to us that He is not bound to remain obscure, shrouded in symbolism, etc., but instead, can manifest Himself very powerfully in ways that are both immediate and specific.

Why "All Things Work Together for Good" for Christians
One of Scripture's greatest promises is that "all things work together for good for those who trust in Jesus. (Rom.8:28). Yet how can catastrophic disease, tragedy, financial disaster, etc., seemingly putting an end to a Christian's service to God and man, possibly work together for good?

In this Bible study I point out that the greatest "good" is God and our glorification of Him. By revealing patience, thankfulness, confidence in God, and joy in the Lord, even in tribulation, the suffering saint proves to onlookers that, indeed, the power of Christ to redeem and transform our natures is very real and powerful. Such a testimony is much more powerful even than Christian apologetics and hymns of praise. There is thus no end to the great good even a suffering Christian works toward, despite the direst misfortune. Such transcendence is God's preferred way of being glorified -- a glorification which also radiates out to the redemption of others.

Is Every Christian Responsible for Holding Back Evil?
Two centuries ago, the foremost educational institutions in America (Harvard, Princeton, Yale, etc.) were unabashedly Christian. The government of the United States was conspicuously God-honoring.

Yet now, not only in government and education but also in Christian denominations, we have witnessed an abysmal decline in authentic Christian values and focus. Who is guilty for such declension: leaders or laity also? In this Bible study, I detail the downward steps by which secularism invades Christian organizations, causing them to not only be destroyed spiritually but to actually become instruments of evil.

Sound Doctrine Describes Man, Not Just God
God desires Christians, as spiritual beings, to wage spiritual warfare in a physical world. To do this, Christians must thoroughly understand the treachery of the unredeemed mind. Jesus said the people believed in Him, but He did not believe in them, for He knew what was in man. (Paraphrased from John 2:23-25) He knew that the “heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked; who can know it?” (Jer. 17:9)

In this Bible study I discuss from Scripture many of the characteristics of fleshly man, traits Christian warriors must recognize if they are to be as “wise as serpents” in a twisted world.

Does St. Paul Deny Free Will?
The Christian promise of salvation is founded on the claim that man can make free moral choices for good, against evil. Yet Christian university students face secular philosophy professors teaching that the tyranny of cause and effect “determinism” is absolute: there can be no free will. Complicating this, St. Paul, in Romans 9, seems to strongly agree that God’s sovereignty to choose who will be saved and lost eliminates free moral choice.

Did Paul agree with determinist philosophers? In this Bible Study, I clearly show what the Bible teaches.

Jacob Obeyed God to Steal Esau’s Birthright
For centuries, anti-Semites have claimed that Jacob’s theft of the sacred birthright from unworthy Esau illustrated that, even in biblical times, Jews were inherently scheming, lying, cheating manipulators. Similarly, Christian authorities have always condemned Jacob’s action, saying he should have trusted God to displace his worthless brother. Yet in this Bible study I prove that Jacob and his mother Rebecca were only obeying God’s command to Rebecca (Gen. 25:23) that under no circumstances must Esau be allowed to retain his birthright (leadership of the godly line) and thus sabotage God’s plan leading to Jesus. Because of Jacob’s unblemished obedience, God, unlike armchair critics, never criticized him and only addressed him with blessing after blessing.

The Khazars: Fulfillment of Mosaic Curse on Apostate Israel
Jesus said the Pharisees were willing to "travel about on sea and land to make one proselyte" in order that He "might become twice as much a child of hell" as themselves. (Matt. 23:15).

The Pharisees, like modern Jews, were not known for proselytization, yet in the ninth century A.D. Pharisees from Babylon persuaded the king of the central Eurasian nation of Khazaria to accept Judaism as the national religion. Quickly, the Khazarians convinced themselves they were authentic descendants of Abraham, perhaps the lost ten tribes of Israel. In the following century, these Jewish converts became the genetic foundation underlying Eastern European or "Ashkenazi” Jewry, who comprise roughly 70% of "Jews" in the world today.

Why did God allow this massive transfusion of Gentile blood, energy, and Talmudic/Kabbalistic zeal to enter Judaism? In this Bible study, I explain why.

Why ADL Can’t Topple Ted Pike/ Truthtellers.org
In 1988, after my pioneering book “Israel: Our Duty, Our Dilemma” and video “The Other Israel” blanketed America, the Anti-Defamation League said they would “destroy Ted Pike and the National Prayer Network within a year and a half.” In this Bible study I explain why that hasn’t happened. I discuss the characteristics of godly leadership and I explain how total consecration to God and truth, as well as high standards of scholarship, strategy and fair play have, under God’s protection, preserved our nearly thirty-year ministry of publicly speaking those things “which are not lawful for a man to utter” (2 Cor. 12:4).

Noted Article: My Response to ADL's Attack (Oct 2007)

“Despising the Shame” Part 2
In my latest Bible study, I present examples of the greatest Old Testament prophets who were required by God to endure incredible shame, even seeming like lawbreakers, in order to speak His truth.

With evangelical divorce rates now equaling the world's, the modern church is collapsing in its spiritual power and testimony. This is because it has been founded upon the false premise that God confirms His blessing on a ministry through numbers and respectability. As a result, there is no place in the church's agenda for reproof or truth-telling about vital moral and social issues.

If Christianity is to endure, Christians must be willing to accept shame and possible controversy. This is not an option but the necessary price to hold back evil and keep Christianity and freedom alive.

“Despising the Shame”
In contrast to authentic New Testament Christianity, a distinctive characteristic of the modern evangelical movement is abhorrence of any action within the church which might cause public shame. Yet, in this Bible Study I point out that Christ was prophesied to be covered with humiliation in His death. In fact, it was not just through His physical sufferings, but through such humiliation (Isaiah 53) that His shed blood has empowered to save.

Scripture makes it clear that a real Christian willingly identifies with the offense (shame) of the cross. The fact that the church has gone as far possible from this direction and avoids any controversy that might lead to public embarrassment can explain why homosexuality and Jewish Supremacism have mushroomed in power.

The Power of ‘Sackcloth’ to Save America
I discuss in my latest Bible study how Christ expects His followers to be willing to suffer for the spiritual emancipation of others, regardless of the cost. This is what He did in coming to die to redeem all who trust in Him. Such self-denial is the dynamic of His power to redeem. It is also the basis of ours.

Consider the phenomenal, divine protection given to the prophesied two witnesses of Revelation 11. They defy anti-Christ to his face and speak the whole truth in the streets of Jerusalem (Babylon the Great) for three and a half years! Where do they get such power? Answer: they come in “sackcloth.” This symbolizes willingness to suffer and pay the necessary price for God’s truth to prevail. God respects their self-denial and gives them the power and protection to stay alive. He can do the same for us.

God Upholds the Truthteller in Dangerous Times
In my latest Bible study I argue that God will strongly support and preserve those who speak His truth. Such rare witnesses may think they are bringing jeopardy upon themselves. Indeed, Christ promised tribulation to His followers, yet, in this Bible study, we find that, in reality, they are saving themselves, their children and their nation from vastly greater peril.

I discuss how Moses reluctantly went into peril and spoke what God told him to speak. He was rewarded by God with ageless honor. In contrast, the High Priest Eli abused his position of influence by placating his wicked sons and was judged for it. In the same way many evangelical leaders (including World Net Dailey’s Joseph Farah) incur God’s wrath by compromising with anti-Christ Zionists.

The High Cost of Not Being Spiritual
In ancient Israel, when spirituality declined evil immediately prevailed, bringing with it every kind of oppression, but when the Hebrews cried to God He drove those oppressors out.

America today labors under such bondage because of a sharp decline in true spirituality. Yes, many call themselves Christians, yet being a truly spiritual Christian means active collaboration with God.

Real spirituality is the most powerful force for change, outside of God Himself, that exits. In this Bible study I describe how the church can regain spiritual power and drive the forces of evil from a land dedicated to God’s service.

The Blessings of Public Reproof in Love
Spirit-led public reproof in the church of Christians who have publicly sinned or spiritually erred is a foundational obligation of authentic Christianity. In this Bible study I publicly correct NPN staff writer Harmony Daws for public statements she made that are not doctrinally sound. It was received with immense gratitude by her and our entire group.

This is a pattern of how the church, following the leading of the Holy Spirit, could be facing into and publicly correcting problems of fleshliness that beset their congregation. Instead, most fear wounded feelings of those corrected, controversy, and church division. Result: a church remains uncorrected, unedified, spiritually weak, and without the kind of aggressive victory that can only come from truth telling under the leading of the Holy Spirit in love.

Other topics discussed: the testimony of Rev. Ted Pike, the true reasons why we are Christians, being Spiritually-minded, works done by formula vs. works led by the Holy Spirit, and more.

How to Raise Godly Children
Statistic shows that most Christian parents can expect to lose some or most of their children to the world. In this Bible study, I explain common sense and Biblically-oriented strategies that vastly improve your chances of creating and keeping the loyalty of your children to Christ - and to yourself.

How We Give Strength to God
As the Conservative Right experienced a surge of power at midterms, so God desires to empower men to righteous acts. Yet He, in turn, is empowered by our obedient cooperation.
In this Bible Study I explain how, when we submit ourselves to Him, we perform an indispensible role that God depends on.
Be sure to listen with your family and friends to this very empowering message!

Courage for Christians to Speak Out
As never before the secular world scorns God’s truth and morality, yet something within most Christians causes them to recoil from public witness and criticism – fearing backlash. This must change if Christianity is to survive. God has put Christians as “salt” within an evil world to provide bracing, direct confrontation with evil.
In my latest Bible study I discuss Biblically-based strategies that can make every Christian a fearless truth-teller.

Steps Into Apostasy
Scripture prophesies that in the last days there will occur a “great falling away” from authentic Christianity. Is such apostasy occurring now? With over 90% of evangelicals refusing to initiate witness for Christ in the work place, there is no doubt it is.
In my latest Bible Study “Steps Into Apostasy” I describe the progression from being an evangelical into an apostate. Are you, or someone you love, moving in that direction? Listen to this powerful warning and find out.

Midterm Election – Stay of Execution for America
You and your Christian/Conservative friends will be very encouraged by listening to my latest Bible Study: “Midterm Election – Stay of Execution for America.” I discuss how at crisis moments in history God has intervened to save His people and preserve His plan of the ages. This is a talk that will energize you, bringing bright hope for even greater deliverance ahead.

When is the Second Coming of Christ?
Today millions of evangelical Christians believe the Second Coming of Jesus will happen within the next several years. Christ will "rapture" them to heaven, away from all worldly conflict.

Yet, in my latest Bible study I express caution. I remind Christians that, while Christ promised He would return unexpectedly, He also promised He would come only after certain, as-yet-unfulfilled criteria have been met.

Take this link to join me as I explain what Christ meant.

Christianity is Most Realistic Perspective in Life
In my latest Bible study I demonstrate that, concerning the great issues of origins, ethics, faith, duty, etc., as well as our ability to create happiness in our lives, authentic Christianity is our most practical guide.

In a time when evangelical rates of divorce equal the world’s and the church is losing over 90% of their youth after high school graduation, few can legitimately deny that there is something very wrong within contemporary “mega-church evangelicalism.” I not only point out what is wrong but state what you, your family and church can do to return to the power and purity of first-century followers of Christ.

Finding Truth in the Age of Delusion
Are you uncertain about the whole truth concerning controversial subjects such as Israel and Jewish control? Do your pastor and friends tell you to believe and trust Israel, while Israel’s misbehavior and clear evidence of Jewish control and manipulation tell you the opposite?

In this provocative discussion, Rev. Ted Pike shows how both Job and the blind beggar healed by Christ, finding themselves amidst controversy and under attack, never the less went straight toward the truth – and found it. You and your friends can do the same – not just concerning Jewish issues, but all moral questions.

Christ Saves Us – Not Perfect Understanding
In this Bible Study, Rev. Ted Pike discusses the fact that Christians have a wide range of opinions, theological backgrounds, and personalities, yet they are united in love and justified by Christ through simple, child-like trust in Him.
Thus, this fact forbids the Christian from condemning another believer as “anti-Semitic” simply because that believer, like Jesus, criticizes evil Jewish leaders.

The Wall Shall Be Built in Troublous Times
As America struggles amid economic hardship and oppressive liberal ruler ship, Rev. Ted Pike, in his latest sermon, “The Wall Shall Be Built in Troublous Times,” reminds us of a vital truth: Throughout the Bible God preformed most of His mightiest acts of deliverance in seeming hopelessness. He can do the same today, especially in the upcoming elections, if God’s people will cry out to Him for deliverance.

How the Church Went Wrong
Many patriots are baffled and angry at the failure of the evangelical church to resist evil and inspire the next generation. In this Bible Study Rev. Ted Pike explain how the church went astray more than 1,700 years ago and how it can return to the vital, redeeming role for which Christ intended it.

Sufficiency of God’s Grace in Hardship
Within the context of economic hard times, Rev. Ted Pike discusses the faithfulness and sufficiency of God to preserve those who trust and obey Him. 

The “Word of God" Part 2
Rev. Ted Pike continues to discuss the fascinating truth that Jesus is the true “Logos,” or “Word of God” – not the Bible. The “Holy Scriptures” are inspired by Christ, to be used by Him for our guidance and edification, but the primary authority and shepherd for the believer’s soul is the one who wrote the Scriptures, Jesus. 

Is the Bible the “Word of God?”
In this Bible study Rev. Ted Pike explains that the “Logos,” or actual “Word of God,” is Jesus. He has inspired the Holy Scriptures to be used by Him to guide and comfort His church. 

The Christian’s Duty to Beauty
Rev. Ted Pike discusses how Scripture commands Christians to contemplate that which is “lovely.” (Phil. 4: 8) In an age when beauty and classical standards are under attack in media, art, music, fashion, etc., Christians must be loyal to all that lifts humanity to a higher standard, resisting degrading trends.

Christ: Architect of Salvation
Rev. Ted Pike considers 3 great Biblical figures and how, in anguish over the sins of the Jews, they were willing to die in order to placate an angry God. Yet God makes it clear that only Christ is authorized, or able, to make such a sacrifice.. 

Becoming Christian Soldiers Once Again
Christian young people today do not commonly see examples of spiritual/political courage and tenacity in church leadership. Instead, they are taught that “love and acceptance” are the best solutions to problems of the family and nation. In this talk, Rev. Pike lays down the necessary steps toward being courageous “Christian Soldiers” within a threatening world. 

Did Christ Subject Himself to Partial Knowledge While on Earth?
Christians believe that while Christ did not have a sinful humanity, in order to reconcile finite humanity to an infinite God, He chose to experience every aspect of humanity. Yet, did such include some self-imposed limitations of knowledge? The purpose of this question is not to lessen Christ’s deity, but to reveal the astonishing lengths He will go to meet people on their own level in order to save them. 

Respecting the Spiritual Burdens God Lays on Christians
Rev. Ted Pike discusses the timeless way God communicates to His saints through imposing spiritual concerns (burdens) upon them. Such burdens usually are meant to be communicated to persons or groups who have strayed. Tragically, the evangelical church is largely no longer open to the reproofs and corrections of burdened saints. Instead, it places emphasis upon being positive and inoffensive, handling the faults of church members by being 'loving' and nonjudgmental. The result is a church that has largely lost touch with the Holy Spirit, devoting itself to pleasing men. This is a church largely without either discernment or spiritual power in a threatening age.

The Faithful to Christ Have Always Been Opposed by the World - Yet Have Prevailed
In this Bible study, Rev. Ted Pike discusses how that, with the formidable anti-Christian forces against families, marriages, and youth, the bride of Christ has been persecuted in almost every age - yet has emerged triumphant.

Duties of the Christian Watchman
All Christians are to be watchmen over the souls of themselves and others. This Bible study gives biblical background and justification to Rev. Pike’s recent article reproving Alex Jones for not warning against the Zionist threat as he should.

The Limitations of Philosophy
This lecture discusses the historic virtues and contributions of philosophy, contrasting these to its limitations in helping us find God. Philosophy is based on man’s right to doubt and question everything having to do with the material world. But such methodology cannot comprehend an invisible God, who can only be known through humility, obedience and faith. When we give these to God He forges a working relationship with us – culminating in eternal life – a privilege out stripping the mere speculations which philosophers must be content with.

Perils of Judaic Legalism.
Messianic Christians and millions of Evangelicals now believe it is spiritual to include Jewish practices and holidays in Christian worship. In this Bible study Rev. Ted Pike demonstrates how unscriptural and counterproductive this is.
