BIBLE VERSIONS 101 - WHAT BIBLE DID JESUS USE?
What Version of the Bible did the Lord Jesus Utilize?
Question for you, "From which version of the Bible did Jesus quote?" Believe it or not, a large majority of Clergy men and women select the "answer" indicating Jesus quoted from the "King James Version." And while many jokes have been made about the different versions there still remains some vagueness in understanding the different types of Bibles and where they originated from.
This document will discuss the…

1 Corinthains Chapter 10 - EXAMPLES FROM ISRAEL'S HISTORY & SEEKING THE GOOD OF OTHERS
Vs. 1-4 the Jewish people, our spiritual ancestors, and Christians, both drink from the same spiritual rock (Jesus). According to Dr. David Stern (a Messianic Jew) the idea of the pre-existence of Messiah is found in numerous Jewish writings. The Jewish people are the true forefathers of our faith (Gal. 3:7-9). “Baptized into Moses” means: a. that the Jewish people were brought into relationship with God by… Continue

1 Corinthains Commentary Chapter 9 - THE BIBLICAL RIGHTS OF A MINISTER
INTRODUCTION: In chapter 8 Paul set out the limits of Christian liberty. In this chapter Paul sets forth how he personally followed this principle. In Vs. 1-18 Paul discusses his biblical right to receive financial support from the church he planted. In Vs. 19-27 how he gave up these rights in an effort to win people to Christ. Paul is not saying here that ministers should not be supported nor is he saying that ministers should be exactly… Continue

1 Corinthians Chapter 8 Commentary - BASIC PRINCIPLES OF LOVE: SEEKING THE GOOD OF OTHERS ABOVE YOUR OWN
INTRODUCTION: Greeks and Romans were Polytheistic (worship of many gods). They believed that evil spirits would try to invade human beings by attaching themselves to things (in this case it was food before it was eaten). They believed that the spirits could be removed only by the particular animals which provided the food that would be sacrificed to the god’s. Sacrifices were meant to cleanse the meat… Continue

ARMINIANISM AND THE WORD OF GOD - by Dr. Henry
ARMINIIANISM & THE WORD OF GOD by Dr. Henry, President of the A.O.C.I. 4/24/2010
First, I want to make it clear that the purpose for me in writing this paper is not to be divisive. However, I believe it is important for our brethren to begin to understand the fundamental truths of Classical Arminian theology. I believe there is confusion not only with the brethren who hold to Calvin’s teachings, but equally confusing are Arminian brethren. Let me just…

1 Corinthians Commentary, Chapter 7 Part 2 - PRINCIPLES FOR SINGLES AND WIDOWS
Vs. 25-28 Although Virgins here is the masculine plural it does include both young men & women promised by their parents according to the Jewish custom of those times. Although the LORD did not directly deal with this issue, Paul is inspired by the Holy Spirit to write on the subject of singles and widows. He is a trustworthy source since the Spirit of God is inspiring him to write on the subject and he is an agent that God is… Continue

1 Corinthians Commentary. Chapter 7 Part 1 - PRINCIPLES OF A CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE
INTRODUCTION: The original city of Corinth was destroyed by the Romans in approximately 146 B.C. and rebuilt in 44 B.C. Julius Caesar rebuilt Corinth as a Roman colony for freed slaves (mostly Syrians, Egyptians and Jewish). Though Latin was the official language, Greek was the language & culture of the people. Corinth was the capital of Achaia with possibly 250,000 citizens plus another 400,000 slaves. It was the host city… Continue

1 Cor. Commentary, Chapter 6 - CHRISTIANS AND SEXUAL IMMORALITY
v. 1-6 Members of the Corinthian church were suing each other in the civil court. Paul told them to settle their disputes within the church, because the least-esteemed man in the church could judge better than a man in the worldly court. Paul explained that this type of behavior would damage their testimony in that the pagan world would wonder about the love proclaimed by Christians. This absolutely horrified Paul. If Christians will judge… Continue

1 Corinthians Commentary- Chapter 5 - THE CASE OF A SINNING CHRISTIAN
v. 1 A man was openly living with his father’s wife, his stepmother. It is likely that she left the father to cohabit with the son and this is forbidden even in the Law of Moses (Lev. 18:8; Deut. 22:30; 27:20). This sinning Christian was misinterpreting his freedom from the Law to mean he could break some of the fundamental principles established for the strength of the family. LIBERTY DOES NOT MEAN LICENSE TO SIN.
V. 2 instead of… Continue

1 Corinthians Chapter 4 Commentary - PAUL TEACHES FAITHFULNESS
v. 1-4 these verses show that Paul was being criticized, judged and attacked by some in the Corinthian church. Although Paul’s conscience was clear ultimately it is God who determines whether one has proved themselves to be faithful. God requires faithfulness in our ministry to which he has called us to.
10 things that will block your faithfulness to God are: 1. Covetous heart 2. Immaturity in Christ 3. Blaming God 4. Unbelief 5. Fear of man 6.… Continue

1 Cor. Commentary - Chapter 3, THE CHURCH IS HOLY
v. 1 Many of the Corinthian Christians hadn’t entered into spiritual maturity but where carnal (worldly). They were still living the carnal lives meaning they where dominated by desires of human flesh and mind and demonstrating human wisdom instead of Godly wisdom. Paul called them babes in Christ (2 Peter 1).
v. 2 Babes in Christ aren’t able to understand and put into practice the clear teachings of the Bible. They look more to testimonies and stories.… Continue

1 Corinthians - Introduction and Chapter 1 Commentary
INTRODUCTION:
Paul went to Corinth in Greece on his second missionary journey. Corinth was a thriving commercial center and a very corrupt city. The church in Corinth had several problems, so Paul wrote this epistle to deal with them. Wherever imperfect people congregate in the name of Jesus, there will be disagreements. If they are not dealt with promptly and properly, they can become major divisions. The unity of believers is the… Continue

Response to a False Statement of Faith - Galatians 1:8
INTRODUCTION: Recently I reviewed the website of a new AOCI member. As president of the AOCI it is ultimately my responsibility to ensure I protect the members from “wolves” dressed as sheep (shepherds). After concluding my research and receiving feedback and commentary from our board of advisors, I wanted to use this individual’s statement of faith to provide commentary and correction to some of the beliefs now… Continue
