The New Testament was originally written in Koine Greek. Koine is to be distinguished from Attic Greek, the latter being predominantly the language of the ancient classics (e.g., Aristotle, Herodot...

Thousands of people labor under the illusion that some are able to contact the dead? What is to be said of such attempts? Is this merely a harmless superstition. Study this issue with us.

Life may be viewed under two categories — physical life and spiritual life. (a) All biological organisms are characterized by physical “life.” A living creature has independent movement, processes...

Peter affirmed that God “made no distinction” between Jews and Gentiles with reference to the matter of salvation. In other words, both Jews and Gentiles were to be redeemed in precisely the same fashion.

There are some who teach that the wicked will not be required to endure an “eternal punishment” (see Mt. 25:46) in hell. They argue that since “hell” is the “second death,” and as “death” is to be “destroyed,” it follows that hell will be destroyed ultimately.
