Who or What is the Holy Spirit? Part 1

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. John 3:5

Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 3:17, 18

Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? ...What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 1 Corinthians 6:15, 19

Jesus, the literal son of God? Part 1

 

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist; some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the son of the living god. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 16:13-17

Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? 1 John 5:5

For there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12

It is pivotal to our salvation that we not only believe in the name of Jesus but that we believe he is the Son of God. But is Jesus the literal Son of God or are Jesus and the Father just roleplaying? 

Signs of the Last Days: Part 2

 

Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: Isaiah 46:9-10

I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass. Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and they neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass; I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them. Isaiah 48:3-5

In part one, we began to look at the condition of the world and its inhabitants signifying that we are indeed in the last days. Let's now look specifically at the condition of Christianity in the last days. What does the Bible say will be the condition of those claiming to be off the faith.
