By the Bible’s standard, yes, they do. They may not wear robes or go by that name anymore, but the spirit of the Pharisees is alive and active today. If you want to see an example, click here. In Jesus’ time, the Pharisees were the religious elite, outwardly righteous, but inwardly corrupt...

… they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so. ~ Acts 17:11 Teaching or Indoctrination? Why Most Religious Education Misses the Point. Too many people today are being trained to repeat what they’ve been told, instead of being taught...

The Bible doesn’t give us a blueprint for how big or small a church should be, but it does tell us what a church is supposed to be. In Scripture, the church is described as a body of believers who gather for teaching, prayer, fellowship, worship, and accountability (Acts 2:42, Hebrews 10:24–25)...

Paul and Christ both consistently made the case that it is every Christian's duty to study and interpret Scripture rightly (2 Timothy 2:15, Matthew 11:15; 13:9, 16, Mark 4:9)

The Prophets and Apostles were not hated and killed for preaching love, but for preaching truth.

And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he regained his sight. Then he rose and was baptized; ~ Acts 9:18 You can quote Scripture, study theology, and go to church every week, but until God removes the veil, you’ll never see the truth that leads to salvation, Jesus Christ...

I showed you what it is from the Bible; if you want to make up your own version, that is on you.

In Satan’s counterfeit trinity described in Revelation 12 and 13 Satan himself plays the role of the false "father", the one seeking worship and control, opposing God directly (Revelation 12:9). The Beast (from the sea, Revelation 13:1–10), also called the Antichrist, plays the role of the...

God Has a Trinity, So Does the Devil. Satan doesn’t come up with anything new. He copies God to fool people. In Revelation 12 and 13, the Bible shows us how he sets up a fake version of God’s plan. God is one God in three persons, the Father, the Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. But Satan...

You said the Bible isn’t really “God’s Word,” just a book about God and people doing things. But the Bible says something different. In 2 Timothy 3:16, it says, “All Scripture is breathed out by God.” That means God gave the words, not just people. The Bible didn’t come from people making stuff...

Your arrogance is blinding you. You rant about biblical illiteracy while perverting the Word of God yourself. That’s not holiness, that’s hypocrisy. You accuse others of lying, but the lies are coming from your own mouth when you twist clear Scripture and slander true believers who are actually...

The Bible does teach that people are already condemned if they reject Jesus. John 3:18 says, “He that believeth not is condemned already.” That means judgment isn’t just in the future, it starts now for those who reject Christ. Jesus called Judas “the son of perdition” (John 17:12). That means...

You need to take your own advice about being careful. What you just posted is full of pride, slander, and false accusations. You are calling people ignorant and Biblically illiterate while ignoring what Scripture actually says. Peter’s words in Acts 3 were indeed spoken to unbelieving Jews, but...

It’s interesting how quick some are to elevate themselves as experts just because they can quote Greek definitions or toss around theological terms, but forget the most important thing, God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble (James 4:6). The Bible is not a codebook for...

That’s not what the Bible teaches. Judas Iscariot was not only judged in time, he was identified directly by Jesus as “the son of perdition” (John 17:12). That phrase is not generic, it is specific. Perdition means destruction, ruin, and damnation. Jesus did not say Judas will be the son of...
