-Studies- "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." -2 Timothy 2:15 The importance of being anchored in Biblical truth cannot be overstated for the healthy believer. One of the reasons found for straying from the faith is a poor foundation of knowledge regarding truth. As the passage above implies, this can have harmful consequences. ​ One of the functional objectives of the church is the office of teaching. The purpose of teaching is to ground the Christian in the truth so that he is firmly planted for when the trials of life inevitably present. It is to train, prepare, and equip the believer for what he will face in the world outside. It is to help prepare each believer to be an ambassador for Christ within his own individual sphere of influence. A problematic issue in the church today is the emphasis on the emotional side of the Christian experience, without equal emphasis on deep and effective teaching. This imbalance often results in a fleshly and superficial version of Christianity. When emotions are high and things are good, all is well. But when trouble or doubt arise, these types of Christians are left in turmoil and confusion - often culminating in a turning away from the faith. A Christian whose experience is founded primarily upon feelings and emotion rather than being anchored in understanding and evidence is often no match for the Enemy. On the other hand, a Christian grounded in what he knows is a more difficult target for the Enemy. When trouble or doubt arise, he is more able to stand upon the truth and be unmoved. His roots are planted firmly into the bedrock of the Word. He is unaffected by whirling circumstances and emotion. Instead, he holds to what he knows to help sustain him through uncertain times. ​ We believe one thing sorely lacking in many people's Christian experience today is this important ministry of sound Biblical teaching. The primary objective of Let Us Reason is to help fill that gap by providing the viewer with in-depth studies on Biblical topics. We strongly believe and advocate that each individual believer understand why he believes what he claims to believe. So often, concepts taught in churches are presented in a declarative fashion instead of an explanatory fashion. Often, no (or poor) evidence is given and no (or poor) explanation is attempted. We believe this is hazardous to the spiritual well-being of the believer. It is setting the stage for superficial Christianity. It is setting the stage for faith that is not built upon a firm foundation. But genuine Christianity is the only belief system that challenges both believers and unbelievers to examine the evidence for themselves. The Word of God and its teachings are trustworthy, reliable, relevant, and provable to all those who are willing to put forth the effort to understand.

"Come now and let us reason together, saith the Lord..." -Isaiah 1:18 Our goal is to provide current believers with the tools and information to have a more "perfect" understanding of God's Word, as He intended it to be understood - not necessarily how religious traditions and institutions have interpreted it. Additionally, it is also our goal to educate non-believers and complete skeptics on the genuine truth of the Bible and its teachings and concepts. ​ If you have some background with Christian teaching, but yet it never quite made sense to you or became real for you personally, we encourage you to spend some time going through our study material. We find that the majority of Christians today unfortunately do not understand the true teachings of the New Testament through Christ and the Apostles - resulting in them never being able to experience the type of full and genuine Christianity that God intended for the believer. ​ Many Christians today have unknowingly become the spiritual casualties of erroneous doctrines that have evolved through man-made religious institutions. Although the Reformation was an important time in Christian history, the reality is that the Reformers didn't go as far as they needed to in their attempt to return to the original patterns and teachings of the Apostles. Many errors remain mainstream, including - but not limited to - hermeneutics (methods of Biblical interpretation) and eschatology (the study of end-times prophecy). ​ Our hope and mission is to provide the content and the study tools for you to investigate these things for yourself and arrive at your own conclusions based on the evidence - not the traditions of men. ​ We hope that you enjoy exploring the resources provided on this site!

let us reason Nimrod historical figure Description Contents Download One of the great mysteries of the Bible involves the identity of Nimrod, the character mentioned in early Genesis who is often credited with building the Tower of Babel. Despite only being mentioned several times in scripture, he is notoriously recognized as being one of the greatest villains in biblical history, and even as the first prototype of the future Antichrist figure. But the major question surrounds his actual historical identity. Is there any evidence that Nimrod was an actual historical figure, as the Bible claims? If so, who is he? Is there anyone whose exploits actually reflect what the Bible says about Nimrod? Of course, surely a person as notorious as Nimrod would be identifiable in history, if he was truly a real, historical character, as the Bible seems to present him as. There should be some memory of him preserved as an actual historical king, not just a mythical figure. As we’ll demonstrate in this study - Nimrod Was He An Actual Historical Figure? - it in fact does seem that we’re able to positively identify him. Although we can’t be dogmatic, this study will present to you the reasons why I’m convinced that we can positively identify Nimrod! Download this free study to find out more!

Description Contents Download In this study, The Psalm 22 Prophecy: The Messiah On The Cross , we discover a cluster of some of the clearest and most precisely detailed prophecies that have ever come to pass. These prophecies in Psalm 22 describe in detail the future death of the Messiah with a vividness not even exhibited by the New Testament epistles, years after the fact. ​ This demonstrates not only the supernaturally integrated design of the Bible, but clearly reveals a characteristic unique only to God - prophecy! Only a Being residing outside the limitations of our physical reality would be able to see the future before it takes place in our space-time. And only a Being who loves us immensely would enter into our space-time Himself in order to become the perfect sacrifice for our redemption – writing us a love-letter in advance that depicted in great detail the very sacrifice He would one day provide.

Description Contents Download Today, there exists much confusion surrounding the dating and chronology of events taking place during the Passion Week of Christ. There are those who now are advocating for a Wednesday or a Thursday crucifixion and a Saturday resurrection. To the casual onlooker unschooled in the original languages, their points may initially appear to have some validity. But because this issue is so important – in that it affects so many other date-sensitive prophetic timelines in the Bible – it is imperative that we go into some further depth in order to examine these points. In this study, A Refutation Of Alternative Chronologies Of The Passion Week , we will touch on some of the major objections put forward by those who reject the traditional viewpoint of a Friday crucifixion and a Sunday resurrection – and we will explore their validity. Download this free study to learn more! ​ Introduction The Traditional Christian View – Friday Crucifixion and Sunday Resurrection Introduction to the Alternative Chronologies Objection #1: “Scripture indicates there were two separate Sabbaths in between the time Jesus died and resurrected, making the crucifixion Wednesday or Thursday rather than Friday” Objection #2: “Certain passages of Scripture indicate that the resurrection took place on a Saturday rather than a Sunday” Objection #3: “The women bought spices after the Sabbath (Mark 16:1) and prepared spices before they rested on the Sabbath (Luke 23:55-56)” Objection #4: “A Friday crucifixion with a Sunday resurrection would violate the 'three days, three nights ‘sign of Jonah’ prophecy' in Matthew 12:40” Further Considerations Conclusion Appendix Bibliography Download ePub/iBook Format Download PDF Format let us reason refutation chronologies passion week Back to Home Home Studies The Daniel 9:25 Prophecy A Refutation Of Alternative Chronologies The Basis Of Our Epistemology Prophecy - The Various Forms...

let us reason the nature of time Description Contents Download In the quest of every person who sets out to attempt to determine the validity of the Bible, they must at some point confront the subject of Bible prophecy. Bible prophecy is one of the primary evidences Christians point to that demonstrates the supernatural origin of the Bible – or, in other words, it is how we know the Bible comes from God and not man. Most people have some awareness of the most basic meaning of the word “prophecy,” understanding it to have something to do with the foreknowledge of things or events. Obviously, for something to be truly prophetic, it must be foretold prior to the events it anticipates. But most people don’t pause to think about the subject of prophecy deeply enough to recognize that the only reason prophecy is incredible to us is because we are trapped within a peculiar dimension called “time.” ​ Because we are confined within the boundaries of time, we find it incredible that future events could be foretold with incredible accuracy and precision. In this study, The Nature Of Time , we will undertake an investigation of this subject and provide a deeper understanding regarding the scientific underpinnings of our perceptions of time itself – and how these concepts relate to the theme of Biblical prophecy as being an evidence for the supernatural origin of the Bible.

let us reason isaiah 53 prophecy Description Contents Download What sets the Bible apart from other religious books is that it contains thousands of prophecies. Since Jesus Christ is the central figure of the Bible, it should come as no surprise that the Bible is absolutely full of incredibly detailed prophecies about Him. One of the most astonishing prophetic chapters is Isaiah 53. Seven hundred years before Jesus, the prophet Isaiah wrote this incredible prophetic portrait of the Messiah in His redemptive role as a “Suffering Servant.” Isaiah 53 records in vivid detail the mission and purpose of the Messiah in His First Coming on earth. ​ Because the prophetic content of this chapter so precisely portrays the experience of Jesus Christ on the cross – as recorded in the New Testament gospels – Isaiah 53 has predictably come under attack by the critics. In this study, The Isaiah 53 Prophecy: The Messiah As The "Suffering Servant ," we will first address the two major claims by the critics and determine whether they are legitimate. We will then undertake a prophetic examination of Isaiah 53 in an effort to determine just how precise this prophecy actually is.

​ Description Contents Download In this study, Understanding The Distinction Between Israel And The Church , we will explore this often ignored, and yet vitally important cornerstone for accurately interpreting the Bible. When this distinction is not understood, the downstream implications are disastrous, and inevitably lead to mistaken doctrine in key areas of Bible interpretation. Without this understanding, it will be impossible for any student of the Bible to have an accurate perception of God’s purpose and plans for the future, much less for the believer in the present Church Age. This issue of the distinction between Israel and the Church is in many ways closely tied in with the proper understanding of Biblical eschatology, or the prophetic study of the end-times. All of these necessary understandings are ultimately derived from having a sound hermeneutic (or method of Bible interpretation). So, how is the proper understanding of this topic – the distinction between Israel and the Church – a key to unlocking the proper understanding of some of the main themes of the Bible?

​ Description Contents Download This study, Should Christians Support Israel? will explore several important questions concerning the nation of Israel from a Biblical basis ... questions such as the following. ​ What should the attitude of the Christian be towards Israel as a nation? Should the fact that national Israel is currently in unbelief affect the way we view the covenants and promises God has given to them? Is Israel as a unique chosen nation still relevant in God’s program – and do they still have a future in His plan? How should Christians view the modern State of Israel? Should Christians support the independent sovereignty of the modern State of Israel? ​ These questions have emerged as some of the most polarizing and hotly contested issues in our modern religious and geopolitical world. As we enter into an examination of this subject, we will do our best to exclusively look at what the Bible says about this subject – and not the frequent disinformation routinely spewed by both political and religious institutions.

Description Contents Download Many of the most incredible prophecies in the entire Bible are found in the Old Testament book written by Daniel the Prophet. Because of the importance of these prophecies, and because we examine a number of them in our studies, we believe it is essential to take a short excursion into an examination of the validity of Daniel as a prophetic source. Due to the remarkable prophetic accuracy and specificity in this book, Daniel has come under attack by critics who deliberately seek to undermine its validity in order to avoid acknowledging its prophetic nature. But in recent years, there have been a number of discoveries – archeological, linguistic and others – that help provide important substantiation of the accuracy, early dating, and historicity of Daniel, confirming it as a valid prophetic source. In this study, Establishing The Prophetic Validity Of The Book Of Daniel , we will examine this evidence and determine how confident we can be in this incredible prophetic book.

let us reason typology of the moedim Description Contents Download In this study, Typology Of The Moedim: The Levitical Feasts As Prophetic Macrocodes , we examine the eight feasts that the Israelites were commanded by God to celebrate during the Hebrew religious calendar year. The institution of these feasts by God provides incredible meaning and relevance to modern observers in light of the events of the New Testament, which occurred over a thousand years later. We will thoroughly investigate the typological themes and details of each feast, recognizing how they strategically profiled future prophetic events. find that the typology of these feasts demonstrates a profound verification of the integration and prophetic nature of the Bible – evidence pointing to its authorship as being from outside time. How do the Hebrew words moedim and miqra - which the Bible uses to refer to the Jewish feasts - reveal the mystery of how we should view them? What do these words mean? In what way do these feasts picture future events on God's calendar for mankind? Were the spring and summer feasts fulfilled? If so, how precisely? What do the fall or autumn feasts tell us about God's future plans? And what can they teach us about eschatology, or the study of the end-times? How do the feasts uniquely reveal God's Word as being one integrated message system given to us from outside of time?
