N0. 264 - The Dutch Connection of the Pilgrim Fathers - No. 264 General history sees the arrival of the Pilgrim Fathers in 1620 in Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts as the foundation of the United States. They are considered as people from England that sailed to the promised land for a new future. However, few actually know that the Pilgrim Fathers are tied to Holland in an everlasting way that cannot be neglected. Their true history sheds a surprising light on the faith of these founding fathers. It also gives an insight in the persecution that existed in Protestant England under Queen Elizabeth I. http://www.ccg.org/weblibs/study-papers/p264.html

No. 212J - Four Hundred Years of Abraham’s Legacy Abraham was given the Covenant with God, and after 430 years, Israel entered the Promised Land. They were oppressed in Egypt over a total period of four hundred years. (Gen. 15:13). Now after another period of four hundred years of Abraham's blessings we are again to re-enter the Promised Land under Messiah. http://www.ccg.org/weblibs/study-papers/p212j.html Additional Study Papers:- Descendants of Abraham Part V: Judah (No. 212E) - http://www.ccg.org/english/s/p212E.html Descendants of Abraham Part VI: Israel (No. 212F) - http://www.ccg.org/english/s/p212F.html

No. 154 - The Nephilim The Nephilim are first mentioned in the Bible in Genesis 6:4 as the offspring of “the sons of God” and “the daughters of men”. This is a general theme found throughout the ancient world and is not confined to the Bible. This paper examines ancient records, the Titans, the Raksasa of the Ramayana, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Genesis Aprocryphon, the Gibbowrim and Rephaim. Using a variety of reference works, particularly the Companion Bible, conclusions about the Nephilim are drawn. http://www.ccg.org/weblibs/study-papers/p154.html Additional Studies:- The Temple Calendar from Adam to Israel and the Early Church (No. 156H) http://www.ccg.org/weblibs/study-papers/p156h.html Creation: From Anthropomorphic Theology to Theomorphic Anthropology (No. B5) http://www.ccg.org/weblibs/study-papers/b5.html Creation versus Evolution (No. B9) http://www.ccg.org/weblibs/study-papers/b9.html The Resurrection of the Dead (No. 143) http://www.ccg.org/english/s/p143.html

No .88 - The Original Doctrines of the Christian Faith up to the Quartodeciman Schism of 154-192 CE The Trinity did not come into existence until it was defined at the Council of Constantinople in 381. At Nicea in 325 the Trinity was not formulated. Only the foundation of the Binitarian structure was laid down here. All the Catholic Church was Unitarian until the Modal structure entered Rome from the worship of Attis in the beginning of the third century. http://www.ccg.org/weblibs/study-papers/p088.html

No. 015 - The Food Laws are examined from a scientific point of view and are validated as being correct and as important or more important today as they were when they were issued. They are vital to the correct and environmentally sound operation of the planet. http://www.ccg.org/english/s/p015.html

No. 170 - The Role of the Fourth Commandment in the Historical Sabbath-keeping Churches of God It is conveniently assumed by the Sabbath-keeping churches of the last two centuries that the central theme and identifying mark of Christianity was the Sabbath and that the churches throughout history were persecuted for their adherence to the Sabbath. This position is at best only partly true and at worst hides the true fundamental aspects of the faith for which the Church of God was persecuted and those other aspects which form the signs of the elect. This paper shows that there are in fact a series of signs identifying the elect and which were used to isolate them and to extract them from society over the periods of persecution generally referred to as the Inquisitions. http://www.ccg.org/weblibs/study-papers/p170.html

No. 266 - Origin of the Christian Church in Britain People often ask when the Church came to Britain and what it believed. The truth is quite astounding and the mysteries surrounding some of it are also important aspects of its history. http://www.ccg.org/weblibs/study-papers/p266.html

No. 122D - Establishment of the Church under the Seventy. The church was established under the Seventy ordained by Christ (Lk. 10:1,17). They were recorded by Hippolytus, assistant bishop of Lyon and then bishop of Ostia Antica the port city near Rome. Because the facts did not coincide with later Roman Catholic propaganda regarding Peter and the apostles they tried to denigrate Hippolytus as an antipope, because he rebuked them. The history is important to the church. http://www.ccg.org/weblibs/study-papers/p122d.html

No. 122 Pt 2 of 4 - General Distribution of the Sabbath Keeping Churches. (Pt. 2) This important paper traces the Sabbath-keeping Churches from the first century into the Middle East, Europe and throughout Asia.

Special Commentary on Ecclesiastes Parts 1 & 2.

081 - Consubstantial with the Father (No. 081) This paper examines the modern theological understanding regarding the Trinity and the Unitarian nature of rational and biblical Theism. The purposes behind the Trinitarian doctrine of Consubstantiation are examined. The action of the divine nature is examined, and the interaction of God with the Host and humanity is shown to be dependent upon consubstantiation. The creation of the Holy Spirit is discussed, as are the philosophical conflicts arising from Trinitarian doctrines. The Shema of Deuteronomy 6:4 is discussed, as is the way in which God is One. http://www.ccg.org/weblibs/study-papers/p081.html

The Soul (No. 92) The Soul doctrine is an inherently rebellious proposition that says that man shall not surely die. In general, the religious systems of the world assert that the soul is eternal. The biblical position on the soul was altered by syncretism within the early Church, as we see examined in this paper. http://www.ccg.org/weblibs/study-papers/p092.html

156H - The Temple Calendar from Adam to Israel and the Early Church. The history of God's Calendar (No. 156) as it was given to the patriarchs and the prophets from Adam to Christ and the church is critical to understanding what is required of the church and salvation. http://www.ccg.org/weblibs/study-papers/p156h.html Additional Papers - Creation: From Anthropomorphic Theology to Theomorphic Anthropology (No. B5) - http://www.ccg.org/weblibs/study-papers/b5.html Creation versus Evolution (No. B9) - http://www.ccg.org/weblibs/study-papers/b9.html Extras - The Plan of Salvation (No. 001A) - http://www.ccg.org/weblibs/study-papers/p001a.html https://rumble.com/v48pb79-introduction-commentary-wars-of-the-end-part-iii-armageddon-....html

Video Presentation - 143 Series Resurrection of the Dead. The Resurrection of the Dead(No. 143) The paper deals with the First and Second Resurrections of the dead. The purpose of each resurrection is discussed, as is the end result of the process. The identification of the Nephilim and the denial of the resurrection to them is examined and explained. This paper also deals with the explanation of pre-Adamic man and is important for all who would seek to reconcile the Bible with scientific findings in the 20thcentury http://www.ccg.org/english/s/p143.html

No. 159A The Forty Days Following Christ’s Resurrection. This text explains the activities of Christ over the first Forty days of the Omer Count after his presentation as the Wave Sheaf Offering. http://www.ccg.org/weblibs/study-papers/p159a.html

No. 013 - The Sign of Jonah and the History of the Reconstruction of the Temple. One of the most misunderstood concepts is that of the Sign of Jonah. This was to be the only sign given for the ministry of Messiah. The sign relates to the reconstruction of the Temple and that of the seventy weeks of years. The sign extends on to and has relevance for our days. The prophecy is still in operation and ends in the near future. The understanding of the correct timing of the reconstruction of the Temple is vital. This paper interrelates the Gospels and Christ’s mission with the Books of Jonah, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, Haggai and others. http://www.ccg.org/weblibs/study-papers/p013.html

No. 19 - Christ’s Age at Baptism and the Duration of his Ministry The year of Christ’s birth has caused a deal of concern over time. It seems to have been deliberately hidden. This is probably so we could not ascertain with absolute certainty the exact year to avoid the celebration of pagan ritual associated with his birth. There are, however, a number of important facts that are linked to his birth and time of baptism. http://www.ccg.org/weblibs/study-papers/p019.html

146 – Fruit of the Holy Spirit. Further to the paper The Holy Spirit (No. 117), we proceed to develop the concepts of the place of the Holy Spirit and its relationship in the Godhead. From an understanding of that position we might then be able to more correctly understand, from the biblical narrative, its purpose and hence its end product in the elect.
