There is something that must be clearly understood in this matter: people can escape the slavery of the practice of sin—but in what sense? A person who once had a vice can cease to be enslaved by it with the help of the holy spirit. A moment comes when they break free from it and are no longer...

Do you know of any Christian who, by virtue of having been "born again," has managed to avoid aging, escape illness, and not die? I know of none, and I have never heard of anyone on earth who has been able to avoid those three things, no matter how good a Christian they were. There is no need...

If Adam's sin were completely erased from a person, that person would not age, fall ill, or die. Did you know that those three things—sickness, aging, and death—are the result of sin in human flesh?

It is a good thing to resolve to stay as far away from sin as possible. That undoubtedly pleases God, and He blesses us for those efforts. However, the sin that causes human beings to die "naturally" is not merely the specific act—the occasional deed that violates biblical principles and...

Human perfection will only be possible under the conditions that God himself has established: 1) human flesh will cease to be corrupt due to the imperfection inherited from our first parents; this will only be possible through the work of Jesus’ heavenly priesthood before his Father and God in...

Didn't the people to whom Jesus once said "your sins are forgiven" die? Why do you think they died? Jesus' forgiveness helps our sins not be taken into account when it comes to being judged. A person who is forgiven for his past sins and sins again...what do you think happens to him? John 5:5...

The internet is full of fantasies and speculations not based on accurate biblical knowledge... People stir up empty arguments that help no one practice anything good related to Jesus Christ or look forward to anything real that God has promised. No one can live forever on their own, because no...

Many people do not realize what it means for post-Adamic human flesh to be corrupt. "Corrupt" means it lost the perfect state it possessed when God created it and declared it "good," along with the rest of His creation. Why did God remove man from Eden after he sinned? Because that place was...

"Biological superman"? Who is talking about superman. This is what God said after the Flood: Gen. 8:21 And Jehovah began to smell a pleasing aroma. So Jehovah said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground on man’s account, for the inclination of the heart of man is bad from his youth...

"Sinless perfection" is something that goes far beyond what an imperfect human can achieve on their own—especially without undergoing purely biological changes. Have you ever reflected on the direct connection between the imperfect anatomy of Adam’s descendants and how that anatomy relates to...

A simple analysis from Dan. 12:1 reveals that God's true "Israel" in our times is neither secular Israel nor modern Judaism. Notice what that text says about the time of the end and how the book of Revelation clarifies who the angel speaking to Daniel is referring to: Dan. 12:1 "During that...

Paul never said that a Christian should not have "works." His letters are full of instructions on things not to do to be approved by God, and all of those things are related to the very teachings of Jesus. By the way, there are not four "gospels" but only one told by four different inspired...

The Bible says that every human being descended from Adam already has sin (Rom. 3:23). The person who says that he has no sin is nullifying the capacity of Jesus as a rescue in his own case; Jesus does not make a person stop sinning, what he does is give him the opportunity to repent and count...

That translation of the passage in Luke 23:31 is incorrect. At no point does Jesus say that *he* was the "green tree"—that is, a tree still retaining some sap and thus still alive. The tree that still possessed some life was the Jewish system; it would soon be completely withered—rendered a...

There were several major English Bible translations before the 1611 King James Version (KJV). Key versions included the Wycliffe Bible (1380s), Tyndale New Testament (1526), Coverdale Bible (1535), Geneva Bible (1560), and the Bishops' Bible(1568). The KJV was actually a revision of these...
