Many people use Matthew 7:1 as a defense as to why a person can't say anything wrong about them and only God can have a say...not true. The same chapter that says judge not also says you will know them by their fruit. If they bare bad fruit and say they are Christian then you know it's a lie...

God wrote Genesis along with the rest of the bible. He did it through men which has always been the case. God always works through people as to bring Himself glory. That is why he saves others when we are undeserving and that is why He created the heavens and the earth and everything seen and...

I agree with Brother Mike, Christmas and Easter are just family holidays of gift giving...it doesn't have anything really to do with religion like it once did. Most people don't even say Merry Christmas but rather, Happy Holidays. For most non Christians, Jesus is the very last thing on their...

For a Christian, it doesn't matter if there is a heaven or hell. God is enough and His Spirit bears witness to our own which causes us to praise and worship Him. We love Him because He first loved us. Heaven and hell doesn't change the results of the fruitfulness of a Christian or their growing...

Brother Mike, I am not saying that God won't give you material things...that is all up to Him. However, using a carnal method such as financial success is not the way to evangelize...you use scripture because faith doesn't come by giving false promises but by them hearing the word of God. For...

First off, I don't have hatred toward Osteen, but there are many signs that show that He is a false prophet and a wolf in sheep's clothing. I have listened to his preaching before and it's deceiving. I read some of his book and he preaches a prosperity gospel. He teaches that if you come to...

Instead of focusing on if we have free will, ask yourself if we have good will. Whether we can chose salvation or not isn't the question. The question is do we have the ability to do good. The answer is no. Prior to conversion, we have a sinful nature and are will is in bondage to that. We...

Brother Mike, I really do think it is mostly pride. I can say this because I am not a prideful person at all. I don't boast in anything about myself. I don't see myself as wiser or better than anyone else... even so, there are times when I will think I have something all figured out. I'm...

As Americans, we are very thin skinned. People in this country are very prideful and we are influenced by this mentality through movies, music, television...and so much more. Not all of us are like this but the vast majority of people in America are so prideful that you can never tell them they...

gumby, These modern day preachers for the most part are false prophets. We know because of the fruit they bear. But what exactly is fruit? Some think that just because a person has a big ministry or is a well known evangelist, that they are bearing fruit. However, that isn't what I think Jesus...

This is a great warning. Thanks for sharing gumby. Christ warned us about hell. He warned us...that is why it is an absolute logical absurdity to make Jesus Christ a part of your life or to thing that you have a very good life and your just missing Jesus. Why?! Because if heaven is heaven, hell...

Hey fivesense. You kind of butchered my response by mixing in your response. I'm sure it was an accident. It had me confused at first... If you ask people this question, you will get a variety of different answers. The main reason is that people tend to place themselves higher or more important...

Thanks for sharing this rdventen. It seems that when people get to the subject of the Holy Spirit...they just seem to lose their minds! Take Benny Hinn for example, there are people who honestly believe what he says about the Holy Spirit. How can people possibly believe that falling down to the...

When a person repents and places their faith in Christ, they are justified. It is a legal declaration that comes from the throne of God declaring that person to be righteous. So are we still sinners? Not at that moment but we still do sin. Will we still live in sin? No. Can we live in sin like...

If I understand your question correctly then you wanted to know whether I repented or believed first in my own personal experience with God...I am assuming you mean the moment of conversion. In all honesty I can't say...I believed which caused me to repent...but my repentance resulted in me...

I don't see a single thing to debate. The bible makes it very clear from OT - NT that we are sinful and need to repent or we will surly perish. For anyone to deny that we are sinful is to also say that Christ died for nothing. No one can fulfill the law of Moses or be considered righteous before...

I agree. To teach evolution goes against what God has told us about Himself and how He created the heavens and the earth. Gods word is the only truth. Evolution is not found in Gods word. So anyone who teaches it is denying God and spreading lies and deceptions that lead away from the truth.

Are you asking if a true Christian can worry that the sins of their flesh will result in condemnation after they were truly saved through repentance and faith? If yes, then the quick answer is no as long as that person met the previously stated conditions (faith, trust, confidence, hope in the...

Here is an easy way of viewing what sin is and what it means to sin. When we sin, we are taking ourselves out from under the authority of God. When we repent, we are placing ourselves back under the authority of God. Whenever God tells us to do something and we don't heed to that...it is sin...
