Things New and Old

Ancient truths revealed in the Scriptures are often forgotten, disbelieved or distorted, and therefore lost in the passage of time. Such ancient truths when rediscovered and relearned are 'new' additions to the treasury of ancient truths.

Christ showed many new things to the disciples, things prophesied by the prophets of old but hijacked and perverted by the elders and their traditions, but which Christ reclaimed and returned to His people.

Many things taught by the Apostles of Christ have been perverted or substituted over the centuries. Such fundamental doctrines like salvation by grace and justification have been hijacked and perverted and repudiated by sincere Christians. These doctrines need to be reclaimed and restored to God's people.

There are things both new and old here. "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things"
2Ti 2:7.

The object, the light, and the shadow


The object, the light, and the shadow - their relations
Here are a few statements on the relationship between the object, the light, and the shadow:


- The existence of the object is completely independent of the presence of the light, and shadow.

- The non-existence of the object renders the production of any shadow by the light  impossible, no matter how strong and powerful it is.

- The production of a shadow is completely dependent upon the presence of the light source. When the light is beamed on the object, a shadow of the object of varying quality is generated.

- The object alone is the invariable constant, the light and the shadow are variables. The quality of the light affects the quality of the shadow produced, and observed.

2Tim 1:10 "But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel."

Did you read and understand... life and immortality are brought to light - made manifest, disclosed - through the gospel.

Life and immortality must be present before it can be brought to light by the gospel ministry. If life and immortality are not already present, then the light cannot manifest them; there is NOTHING to be brought to light! No shadow of faith can be brought forth?

Blessed art thou if thou understandest the simple truth declareth by the picture!
