New Testament study of the phrase "have the rule over" by Stella Paterson |
| This phrase has contributed in a great way to the hierarchical thinking that God has placed certain men to be in a place of authority over others in the Body of Christ. Anyone who has studied this with an open mind and an ear to the voice of the Holy Spirit has found that we are all equal in Christ Jesus. The truth reveals that rather than one "ruling over" another, God desires that we all

New Testament study of the word "obey" - by Stella Paterson |
| This study is a companion to the "Have the rule over" study. Both were prompted by the much abused passage in Hebrews 13:17 where we find the words, "Obey them that have the rule over you."
This type of thinking comes from the KJV translators who seemingly agreed with the mistaken idea that God intends for His Son's Body to be established upon a hierarchical system. This is so far off from the

New Testament study of the word "mind" by Stella Paterson |
| This study is comprised of twenty different Greek words and how they are translated. Each one, in one way or another, includes the word “mind” in translation. While compiling the study I found some rich treasures, as is always the case. God’s Word is full of wonderful truths which can only be found through study, in my opinion. Word meanings and how they are translated gives us a greater

New Testament study of the words "Eternal torment" and related words by Stella Paterson |
| The extremely dangerous and erroneous doctrine of “universalism” is rampant today. Many have fallen for this apostate “ideal,” concocted by minds that are unwilling to accept the fact that God’s Love can never contradict the Truth His Son died to bring us. In this study, you will find many passages that shed light on areas the universalists have distorted to suit the devil in his campaign to

New Testament study of the word "sabbath" by Stella Paterson |
| What an incredibly revealing study this is! With all the religious adherence to the “Sabbath Day” in the apostate church, this comes as a refreshing and liberating glimpse into the heart of God who sent His Son to free us from self.
May you be blessed as you read what the Lord tells us about His “sabbath” rest – the true sabbath. This study includes all verses in which we find the word “

New testament study of the word "faith" by Stella Paterson |
| This lengthy study is full of gems from the Word of God. It has been my joy to put it together for your benefit. I have thrilled once again, in typing out all the verses, as I was reminded of the truth of the reason Jesus died and rose again. Please read it through and allow the truth of the importance of faith and faithfulness to minister to your spirit.

New Testament Study of the word "lasciviousness" by Stella Paterson |
| New Testament study of the word “lasciviousness” is a good companion study, along with the article “Disciple or Rebel – The Choice.”
The prevalence of the word “flesh” throughout the Bible, and prevalence of its effect in the “church” of today, can be seen in the passages in this study. As the definition shows, the word translated “lasciviousness” is of uncertain derivation and a lot of

New Testament study of the word "remission" by Stella Paterson |
| The Greek word translated “remission” was included in the “forgiveness” study. But with this study, I wish to enlarge on the use of “remission” in each of the listed references. Because of the enormous distortion in today’s presentation of the Gospel, it is necessary to make every tool available for those who desire to discover the truth. As in all Bible studies, I am quoting from the very old
