Reincarnation in the Scriptures
God proclaimed the reincarnation of Elijah. God Himself said that he would send Elijah just before the coming of the Messiah. If you read it just plain and simple the way it’s written, that’s what you get — Reincarnation. There’s not even any interpretation needed here.
The prophet literally prophesied that God would send Elijah before the Messiah. If John was not Elijah, why is nothing at all mentioned about Elijah in the New Testament? It wouldn’t have been a secret because it was to be a public announcement. John the Baptist made that announcement.
The prophet and Jesus said God would send Elijah before the coming of Jesus — whether you interpret that to mean Jesus’ first coming or Jesus’ second coming. If you interpret it as Elijah coming at Jesus’ “second coming”, then it would be Elijah’s second time being sent too. Continue reading

What is Salvation All About?
A kind of Salvation different than what they expected
Jesus used the expression “everlasting life” more than he used “salvation” since it more accurately portrayed the reality of what he taught. The Jews lived in a time when they were under the oppression of the Romans and they were expecting a long awaited messiah that their scriptures prophesied would come who would deliver them out the the hands of their enemies.
However, though Jesus appeared to be that king and messiah that they were awaiting for God to send them, he didn’t come to bring them quite the type of “deliverance” that they had expected. He wasn’t exactly the kind of king most expected him to be. Unless of course, Jesus actually started a flame that ignited a war that was not recorded in the New Testament, like a lot of original passages that are missing from the Bible. There was the Jewish-Roman War (66-73 CE) that destroyed Jerusalem. But I digress…
Jesus came to bring them the message of salvation rather than deliverance from their enemies. He came to teach them the way to obtain “everlasting life”. This is the kind of salvation that would be “lasting unto the age of the ages” as the expression is literally translated.
But the enemy Jesus came to deliver them from was not Rome, as we see from the history that was left to us. Jesus said that his kingdom wasn’t from this world. The real enemy Jesus came to deliver them from was the god of this world and their own sinful selves — and I might add the bondage to a law that was not written by God, but traditions of men.

Earliest Jewish Believers: Ebionites Part 1
The very first believers in Jesus were not Christians. Christianity was not in existence yet — Christianity was a creation of St Paul. There were many names for these believers, but as Epiphanius writes: “Ebionite was at first… a common name for all Christians” (Epiphanius Adv. Haer., xxix. 1). Continue reading

Joseph: Father of Jesus
The Church would like us all to believe that the genealogy in Luke is actually of Mary. The reason for this is that for Jesus to qualify as the Messiah, he needs to be a biological descendant of king David and the genealogy in Luke can be followed up to David (However, so can the genealogy in Matthew — but this would make it necessary for Joseph to be his biological father). Therefore, they teach that Jesus’ true genealogy is the one in Luke, which is only conjecture. Continue reading
