The way God loves.

January 7, 2016 by Simon Yap

You cannot have more of God. Colossians 1:19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; Colossians 2:10 and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority. God doesn’t give himself to you in instalments. The bible does not say God gives you […]

Growing up.

December 30, 2015 by Simon Yap

1 Corinthians 13:11-12 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall […]

2015 in review

December 30, 2015 by Simon Yap

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: The Louvre Museum has 8.5 million visitors per year. This blog was viewed about 260,000 times in 2015. If it were an exhibit at the Louvre Museum, it would take about 11 days for that many people to see […]

What did John mean by “no more death and tears”?

December 12, 2015 by Simon Yap

If we bother to read the the book of Revelation in the light of the Old Testament, we would NOT be intoxicated with a dark impeding future of a doomsday antichrist. Revelation 21:4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor […]

The Resurrection not the Cross.

December 11, 2015 by Simon Yap

Some thoughts. Romans 5:10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. Much of our theology centers around the death of Jesus. As such, our lives are merely centered around being […]

Does believing in Grace makes you more susceptible to sin?

November 17, 2015 by Simon Yap

Many people presume that the grace believer is more susceptible to sin because he is no longer under law but grace. They argue that’s why Paul tells them the following verses. Romans 6:12-15 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. Do not present your members to […]

Understanding Revelation 20: Satan and the lake of fire.

November 14, 2015 by Simon Yap

Did you know that when Jesus was referring to the worms that do not die and fires that do not end were referring to the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple and not hell? Mark 9:48 ‘where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’ Now look at this. Isaiah 66:24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh. Jesus was quoting the massacre of the Jews during the Babylonian attacks. He was saying it will happen again when the Romans attack Jerusalem.

Taking up the cross. Post AD70.

September 12, 2015 by Simon Yap

People teach the phrase “carry the cross” as if the Christian life is full of suffering. The truth is that it is a whole misinterpretation of scripture. It is done without the taking into the account of how phrases are understood in the Jewish culture. The best commentator in terms of carrying the cross […]

How do we meet Jesus in the air?

September 6, 2015 by Simon Yap

For all of you all who ask me the question “How do we get caught up in the air with Jesus?”, here is what you should know. The term “prince of the air” and “heavenly places” are super spiritualised. They just means the temple. Here are a few things to learn. 1. The law was […]

10 things Christians ignore when they read the Bible.

September 6, 2015 by Simon Yap

I found most believers, when confronted with something they have been previously wrong taught, tell you I would rather believe in the Bible and God than you. I have also noticed this. 1. They have no idea of who the Bible was written to. 2. When was it written? 3. Under what circumstances were […]

10 proofs we are beyond the “last days”.

August 28, 2015 by Simon Yap

Why do people say we are deceived when we tell you that we are not living in the last days? Here are 10 proofs from Scripture that it is referring to the end of the Mosaic Covenant. 1. John already said his time was already the last hour. 1 John 2:18 Children, it is […]

AD70: So what?

August 26, 2015 by Simon Yap

Someone ask me what’s the relevance of AD70. Well here’s a list of things which don’t affect me anymore. 1. The 4 blood moons aligning 15/9/2015. You can transfer all your property to me now, since you believe the world is going to end on that day. 2. The crazy prophecy of global meltdown. […]
