The following studies and dissertations address a number of controversial subjects. The author is convinced that today there are many false teachings and traditions of men which are being taught and observed by modern churches. Paul tells us that traditions of men and false teachings will lead us astray. Each subject has been approached with an open mind with the willingness to change any preconceived convictions should the results of the research and study come to other conclusions. The author has approached each topic first with prayer, then a thorough, detailed study of the Scriptures, and finally with the desire to listen to the Holy Spirit as He speaks to him personally through His Word or through the still small voice. He cannot be dogmatic about all of his convictions, but presents his conclusions hoping that the reader will read the information and then pray, research the Scriptures, listen to the Holy Spirit in their lives and draw their own conclusions. It is his desire that these articles and studies will help bring the reader in a closer relationship with Christ and the Father and will guide him in understanding the real truths of the Kingdom of God.
