The Inspiration of the Bible (Pt.2) - Paul M. Williams

How We Got Our Bible (Pt.3) Without question, the foremost claim to the Bible being the Inspired Word of God is prophecy. No other religious book dares to do what the Bible does. A staggering 27% of the Bible (just over a ¼ ) is comprised of prophecy; that is, God goes down on record to state things that will happen prior to them happening so that when they come to pass you will know that what God said (past) was true and therefore what God says (future) is also true!! In this teaching we begin ...

The Inspiration of the Bible (Pt.1) - Paul M. Williams

How We Got Our Bible (Pt. 2) When we speak of the Bible being the inspired Word of God, how are we to understand this? Did God dictate word-for-word what He wanted written down so the writers of the Bible became human typewriters or did He make full use of their characters and personalities making full use their literary writing styles to bring into being His Word? Were the authors of the Bible conscience of the fact that they were penning the very Word of God or were they oblivious to this real...

A Call To Holiness - Paul M. Williams

Romans chapter 6Paul brings a strong word calling the Body of Christ to holiness. There is much misunderstanding in the Body of Christ regarding what true holiness consists of. On one extreme there is a total absence of such a concept and on the other legalism abounds. Paul seeks to bring the balance through the sound teaching and exposition of Romans chapter 6 and surrounding chapters. May the Lord open your eyes and grant you grace to see these precious truths!! This message is part of The San...

The Character of the Bible - Paul M. Williams

How We Got Our Bible (Pt. 1) To say that the Bible is unique is perhaps an understatement. No other book in the history of mankind has so served to shape and influence the lives of so many for the good than has the Bible. Written over a period of about 1500 years; comprised of 66 books written in three different languages (Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek) on three different continents (Africa, Asia and Europe) by more than 40 different authors most of whom never met or knew each other, coming from tot...

Contemplative Prayer - Ray Yungen

Contemplative spiritual practices are subtly being introduced into mainstream Christianity and many are falling prey to seemingly Christian appearance. What's wrong with contemplative prayer? Is it not a genuine expression of prayer to God? In this message Ray gets under the skin of contemplative prayer tracing its roots to the New Age and clearly demonstrates that it has no place in the Body of Christ!! This message is part of The Sanctuary Conference 2014. For information about future conferen...

Is Freemasonry Compatible with Christianity? (Pt.6 of 6) Salvation/Secred Order - Paul M. Williams

Many different people join Freemasonry for many different reasons. On the outward surface, there is no doubt about it that Masonry seeks to portray itself as an ethical society that exists for the propagation of good through its charitable work and ethical moral teachings. However, as we shall see in this teaching, the ultimate goal and true purpose of Freemasonry is not chiefly one of a sociable and charitable nature or one that concerns itself with outward morality but rather that which is com...

Is Freemasonry Compatible with Christianity? (Pt.5 of 6) Royal Arch/Afterlife - Paul M. Williams

The Royal Arch is present in all Masonic systems. During the ritual of the Royal Arch exaltation ceremony, the candidate learns the Sacred and Mysterious Name of the True and Living God Most High, namely the name JAHBULON. What is the true meaning of this name and is it a suitable name for the God of the Bible? An unquestionable and integral part of Masonic doctrine is the principle of the Immortality of the Soul. For Masons, life does not end in death but rather Masonry teaches that the spirit ...

Is Freemasonry Compatible with Christianity? (Pt.4 of 6) The God of Freemasonry - Paul M. Williams

Within every Freemason Lodge across the world there is an altar and upon that altar is a Bible – that is if one finds themselves inside a lodge in the UK or the U.S. What book would one find if he were in Turkey or in India? It is most likely to be a Quran or one of the Hindu scriptures. When one see’s the Bible upon the altar it gives one a perception that the Bible and its teachings are held as the supreme authority for the Mason. However, as we shall see in this teaching, that is not the case...

Is Freemasonry Compatible with Christianity? (Pt.3 of 6) 1st Degree - Paul M. Williams

Ritual within Masonry is an elaborate and cleverly concealed and crafted teaching system which consists primarily of allegorical drama steeped in mystery, symbolism and mythology, involving secret grips, passwords and oaths. Those being initiated into each degree are required to learn their lines so as to be able to take part in the ritual ceremony. Key to the power that ritual plays in Freemasonry is the hidden truths that are sought to be communicated through the rituals to the initiate. In th...

Is Freemasonry Compatible with Christianity? (Pt.2 of 6) Oaths & Curses - Paul M. Williams

One of the more controversial areas surrounding Masonry is the oaths of secrecy that Masons are required to swear upon initiation into the various degrees and more specifically, the ritual penalties attached to the breaking of these oaths. This teaching explores these oaths as they to pertain to the first three degrees and beyond! Should any professing Christian swear such oaths? Whenever it is put to Freemasons that Masonry is a religion, the overwhelming majority take strong objection and insi...

Is Freemasonry Compatible With Christianity? (Pt.1 of 6) Introduction - Paul M. Williams

When one thinks of Freemasonry, what thoughts immediately spring to mind? Are they positive thoughts or are they negative thoughts? For some they think of charitable works, good citizens of society, morally upstanding individuals. For others they think of a good old boys club - you scratch my back I’ll scratch yours. For others still, they think of conspiracy, corruption and perjury, a secret society, worshippers of Lucifer! I want from the very start to be clear about the aims of this teaching....

Replacement Theology (Pt.1of2) - Paul M. Williams

Replacement Theology in its simplest form teaches that the Church has replaced national Israel as the new people of God. God’s plans and purposes no longer lie with national Israel, but the Church. Replacement Theology teaches that it is the Church that now inherits the promises formerly given to Israel. The term Replacement Theology is fairly new in theological studies. The more historic and traditional term is “Supersessionism”; a descriptive term denoting the superseding nature by which the C...

Refuting the Khazar Theory - Paul M. Williams

The Khazars were a semi-nomadic Turkic people who around the 7th century A.D, occupied Khazaria, a land that lay between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, what today would spread across Georgia and into parts of Russia, Poland and Eastern Europe. At this time there were Jewish communities from the diaspora who had settled in Khazaria and made it their home. It is also a fact that during the middle-ages, some of the Khazar ruling elite and royalty converted to the religion of Judaism. However, i...
