Dedicated to recovering the beliefs of the first-century disciples of Jesus, the Messiah. Sound theology begins with the creed to which Jesus subscribed in Mark 12:28-29 — the creed of Israel (Deuteronomy 6:4) — and God’s Gospel about the Kingdom (Mark 1:14-15).
“The Christian is to ‘Wait for His Son from heaven’ (1 Thess. 1:10), but the message of today's Gospel is to GO to His Son TO heaven. While we are told specifically, ‘The dwelling of God will be with men,’ Platonic preachers tell us that the dwelling of men will be with God!”

The Core of the Christian Message in The Light of its Background in Daniel
Published in A Journal from the Radical Reformation, Winter 1998, Vol. 7, No. 2.
Presented at the Theological Conference, March, 2007.
We should remember that during the awful reign of the Antichrist “those who have insight will give understanding to many” (Dan. 11:33; cp. Dan. 12:3 and Isa. 53:11, where knowledge is indispensable for “making righteous the many”).
The Revolutionary Words of the Angel to Daniel and Mary
Presented at the 14th Theological Conference, April 30th, 2005

Most churchgoers are unaware that what they receive in church as 'Bible' has been filtered to them through a lens of Greek philosophical thinking. This tradition adversely affects current Christian teaching, obscuring central aspects of the original belief of Jesus and the Apostles. Post-biblical councils did much to draw a veil over 'the faith once delivered.' Honest inquirers for the saving truth of Scripture will find this translation of the New Testament eye-opening. Most translations tend to 'read into' the biblical text ideas which were never intended by the New Testament writers.

Medical science is incapable of extending life beyond a few extra years. Jesus, however, claimed to know the secret of living forever. He revealed that secret clearly in his preaching about immortality and the Kingdom of God.
The secret lies in the seed of the parable of the sower. That is the heart of the Christian Gospel.

Some two million believers express their devotion to God by taking seriously their commitment to strict, literal obedience to all of the "Ten Commandments." The fourth commandment is of special importance to them. They see it as a distinctive test of obedience. There are many more millions who claim also to be in submission to the commandments of God, but they disagree with their fellow students of the Bible about just what obedience to God's commandments means today.

“We must remind ourselves that Christian theology does not believe God to be a person. It believes Him to be such that in Him a trinity of persons is consistent with a unity of Deity.” C.S. Lewis, Christian Reflections, Eerdmans, 1995, 79.
Christianity is often touted as one of the world’s three great monotheistic religions, on a par with Judaism and Islam. This is not a correct assessment. And neither Judaism nor Islam will concede to Christianity the right to the title of monotheistic religion. For Christianity’s more than two billion members believe in the doctrine of the Trinity, which says that God is three. And this is a creed which neither Judaism nor Islam consider monotheistic.
The theological writings of our time are full of evidence to show how unfairly the teaching of Jesus about the Kingdom has been treated.
In the teaching of Jesus the future is always prominent and the present is meaningful as a preparation for the end of the age when Jesus returns.
The data we have examined reveals a Jesus who is a thoroughly political figure, though he wielded none of his political authority at his first coming and kept himself and his followers strictly apart from the politics of the day.
On another occasion Jesus had thrown further light on the Kingdom of God by comparing himself to a nobleman who was destined to depart and later return to take charge of his father’s kingdom.
A number of critically important sayings of Jesus have not received the attention they deserve.
Traditional versions of Christianity have been curiously reluctant to acknowledge the political dimension of Jesus’ teaching.
Neither of these solutions does justice to the evidence of the biblical documents. In both cases large sections of the available data are simply not being taken into account.
The Messiah is to be a descendant of the house of David, and his purpose is to restore the Kingdom to Israel and extend its influence over the world.
It must be significant that the Kingdom of God is the substance of the very first thing said about Jesus, even before his birth: “The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; and his Kingdom will have no end” (Luke 1:32, 33).
Our Christian documents point to one undeniable fact: Jesus was concerned above all with the Gospel about the Kingdom of God.
A Solution to the Riddle of the New Testament
The so-called problem of Jesus’ Messianic consciousness can be solved only when scholars abandon their prejudice against the Messianism which pervades the New Testament and indeed the entire Bible.
Scholarship has reached an impasse in its attempt to understand the life and teaching of Jesus. Long established and deeply rooted patterns of thought prevent it from entering fully into the spirit of his mission. The difficulty lies quite simply in a lack of sympathy with the Messianic Kingdom which was the center of all that Jesus taught.
