A complete list of everything in this website.
A website for those who wish to digest the "strong [solid] meat,"
not just "the milk or meat," of the Word of God. ~ Hebrews 5:12-14
Or, as Gary Whipple would say, "For those desiring SUPER Knowledge of God’s Word!"
Introduction, Tools, Etc., Etc.

JUST SOME QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS TO PONDER FROM THIS WEBSITE's LAYMAN HOST:
Aren’t ALL spiritually saved by grace going to heaven at the RAPTURE? If so, why is there a JUDGMENT SEAT awaiting? What is there to judge? What are the different outcomes? Could it be that Christ is looking for those qualified TO rule and reign with Him as His wife and TO replace Satan’s ruling angels when Christ replaces Satan? Could it be that the saved have TO be more qualified than just “spiritually” TO rule and reign with Christ and TO serve Him? Does God’s number THREE come to mind, meaning DIVINE PERFECTION (e.g. Father, Son, Holy Spirit)? If so, would one then reason there MUST be one more step after salvations of the BODY and SPIRIT?
If so, you are CORRECT! There is a necessary third salvation TO qualify one to rule and reign with Christ. What would that salvation be? Salvation of the old man, the SOUL, the sinning part of spiritually saved man! And what has to happen for salvation of the SOUL? One has to allow all works emanating from him to be of the HOLY SPIRIT, not of self. And for that to happen one must continuously, day to day, be FILLED with the HOLY SPIRIT. That way one’s life is controlled by the Holy Spirit resulting IN the fulfillment of one’s role in God’s plan – TO rule and reign with Christ in His Kingdom.
In summary, salvation by grace through faith is NOT seen as an END in itself, but as a MEANS to an END. ~ Pat

“Redemption” is THE central issue throughout all Scripture, BUT redemption includes FAR more than the salvation that we presently possess. Redemption begins with unredeemed man who, because of sin, is BOTH alienated from God AND dwelling on an earth that is under a curse; AND redemption terminates with redeemed man dwelling as a joint-heir with his Messiah, ruling over an earth removed from the curse.Of His own will He brought us forth by the Word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.
Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted Word, which is able to save your SOULS. (James 1:18, 21)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Most Christians have been taught wrong for years — not necessarily concerning how to be saved, BUT concerning the purpose for salvation and that which lies ahead for redeemed man. AND because this erroneous teaching pertaining to salvation has become SO ingrained within their way of thinking, attempts to present salvation from the correct Biblical perspective are usually met with askance looks, opposition, or antagonism on almost every hand.
(See in this site The Pastor’s Primary Responsibility by Charles Strong of Bible One.)
Thus, it is no wonder that corruption and confusion have marked the proclamation of this message throughout Man’s Day.
Christians talk about being saved and going to heaven, though MOST don’t have the slightest idea concerning what is involved in saved man’s association with the heavens.
Satan, the present ruler IN the kingdom — ruling FROM a heavenly sphere through the Gentile nations on earth (cf. Daniel 10:13-20; Luke 4:5-6; Ephesians 6:12) — knows that the ultimate outworking of that contained in the message surrounding the salvation of the SOUL WILL bring about an end to his rule.
Accordingly, Satan has done all within his power, over millenniums of time, to destroy this message. And exactly HOW well he has succeeded can be seen on practically every hand in Christendom today (cf. Matthew 13:31-33; Luke 18:8; Revelation 3:14-21).
IN SUMMARY, the purpose of my website is soul-winning of the saved (saved by the grace of God) requiring AN understanding of the Word of the KINGDOM (something few saved presently possess BUT upon which this website concentrates).

Foundational Asides:
1. Teachings surrounding the salvation of the soul are, in reality, the central subject matter in ALL of the epistles — both the Pauline and general epistles, from Romans through Jude.
Ref. A Study of Hebrews EXCERPTS also - in this site at the bottom of this page.
2. A basic, fundamental rule to remember is the rule of “first mention.” The FIRST time a subject is mentioned in Scripture, a pattern, a mold, a TYPE is established at that point that remains UNCHANGEABLE throughout the REMAINDER of Scripture, and it centers on an UNCHANGEABLE structure of the Word given by the UNCHANGEABLE God.
Man MUST study the Word after the same fashion in which God structured His Word. Man MUST recognize the highly typical nature of the Old Testament. Man must go back to the types, comparing the various types on a particular subject with that to which they point — an antitype. Only through this means can man arrive at unblemished truth surrounding any biblical doctrine.
“What does the type reveal?” That is the question of the hour in any area of biblical study. And only when that question has been properly answered, comparing type with antitype, will one arrive at the truth of the matter in the same manner in which God set that truth forth.

Also most all Commentaries are also in Word documents: AAWord Documents of Commentaries in Koffee Kup Kandor BACK UP as of 01-15-2021.docx which are Safe to open and print.
Also 1 Corinthians 10:11a states the manner in which God revealed Himself to man:
Now all these things happened to them as examples [Greek, tupos, types; “Now ALL these things happened to them for TYPES”] . . . .
Check out Types and Antitypes as of March 20, 2021.docx for the types (examples) I've gathered.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Find Feature: Press "Ctrl" plus "F" to open the "Find" feature where you can type in the specific word(s) for which you're searching and the word(s), if available, will be highlighted on that page. Suggest starting "find" on this page first before moving to other pages.
Hopefully there will be commentary on the subject you seek!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Important: My website is set up with a 'hover' tool, a tool which displays scripture by simply placing one's cursor over any scripture reference, without having to 'click' on the reference. For some computers the hover does not work, so one has to click on the scripture, or often changing the compatibility mode in your computer will correct the situation.
Also one may double-click any word and get an instant definition and access to an audio pronunciation. Of course not every word is in this dictionary, especially Biblical names. Try it now by double clicking copasetic.
For Biblical names pronunciations see Net Ministries AUDIO Biblical Words Pronunciation.
Another feature of some commentaries is hearing Strong's words pronounced. Instead of 'hovering' on a scripture reference, 'click' on the reference. To the left of the scripture pulled up click on Tools, then Interlinear. Note to the far right a speaker icon. Click on the icon and hear the word(s) pronounced.
Example using 'screen shots': Click on Without Form and Void, then click on Genesis 1:1-2a and the following screen shot is part of what you'll see:
Click on 'Tools' on the left, choose 'Interlinear' and click on it. Then this is what you'll see:
To hear a word pronounced click on the dim speaker icon to the right. Voila! Also one can go directly to Blue Letter Bible AUDIO PRONOUNCE.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aside: Five sites/commentaries embedded in my mind: 1) Why was man created [Why did God Create Man?]. 2) There would be no need of the Judgment Seat if there were no 'second aspect' of salvation [Why does Christ Judge the Saved and What does He Judge?]. 3) What one does ongoing to enhance the prospect of winning the race for an awaiting inheritance [Holy Spirit – Ministries and Filling!]. And definitely 4) [A Key to the Scriptures] and 5) [Participation in the Race].

Certain Christian intelligentsia of the present dispensation, even though saved and in a position to understand the Word of God, too often seek spiritual discernment in the light of worldly wisdom rather than through comparing “scripture with scripture” and looking to the indwelling Spirit to lead them “into all truth” (John 16:13; 1 Corinthians 2:9-13). ~Charles Strong of Bible One.
