    The Most Hated Truth

    That might sound clever, but it’s not biblical. The Bible doesn’t describe sin as just a symptom or byproduct of something else. It says our very nature is sinful apart from Christ. Ephesians 2:3 says we were “by nature the children of wrath.” That’s not just behavior, that’s who we were at the...

    Judas Went to His Own Place – A Biblical Verdict of Eternal Judgment

    This isn’t about me thinking I’m infallible. I’m not. But God’s Word is, and that’s what I’m standing on. If you think that’s arrogance, then your problem is not with me, it’s with the authority of Scripture. What’s really blinding is pride that refuses to accept clear verses because they don’t...

    Judas Went to His Own Place – A Biblical Verdict of Eternal Judgment

    You’ve got it backward. I’m not the one launching personal attacks, you are. I’ve been standing on what the Bible says, quoting Scripture directly, while you’ve been throwing insults, accusing me of arrogance, and trying to shame me for not agreeing with your views. I did not attack you. You...

    Judas Went to His Own Place – A Biblical Verdict of Eternal Judgment

    Amazing! That is correct. If you can’t see what the Bible says in plain English about hell being eternal, it’s not because the verses aren’t clear; it’s because you don’t want to accept them. God’s Word says it over and over: • Matthew 25:46 – “These shall go away into everlasting punishment...

    Judas Went to His Own Place – A Biblical Verdict of Eternal Judgment

    You're quoting verses about being teachable, but you're not applying them to yourself. Being teachable means submitting to what the Bible actually says, not perverting the Word of God to fit your own opinion. What you're doing is not biblical correction, it's rewriting truth to protect your...

    Judas Went to His Own Place – A Biblical Verdict of Eternal Judgment

    You’ve already been shown what the Bible says, and now you’re rejecting it outright. Let’s stop pretending this is about translation. It’s not. You’re not seeking truth, you’re trying to erase it. “Forever punishment is pointless”? That’s your opinion, not God’s Word. God doesn’t ask you if...

    You Killed the Author of Life, But God Offers You Mercy

    Acts 3:12–26 – A Message Our Generation Still Needs to Hear Peter’s bold words in Acts 3 cut through all the religious noise of his day, and they still do. He didn’t flatter the crowd. He didn’t excuse their ignorance. He stood up, filled with the Spirit, and told the truth: “You killed the...

    Judas Went to His Own Place – A Biblical Verdict of Eternal Judgment

    That’s not what the Bible actually teaches, and we don’t get to redefine God’s Word based on how we interpret the word “destruction.” The idea that eternal punishment just means being made “unfit for use” or being annihilated is not in Scripture. That is a man-made opinion, not biblical truth...

    Judas Went to His Own Place – A Biblical Verdict of Eternal Judgment

    Judas did not experience godly repentance that leads to salvation. He felt regret, but it was not the kind of repentance that comes from the Holy Spirit. Matthew 27:3 says, “Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty...

    Judas Went to His Own Place – A Biblical Verdict of Eternal Judgment

    If anyone wants to know where I stand on hell and eternal punishment, I don’t base my view on feelings, opinions, or tradition. I believe what the Bible clearly says. These verses speak for themselves: Matthew 25:46 – “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal...

    What Is Truth? – The Trial Before Pilate

    Watchman Nee mixes Scripture with mysticism, subjective spiritual experiences, and extra-biblical ideas. His teachings often go beyond what is written (1 Corinthians 4:6) and introduce concepts about the soul, spirit, and inner man that are not supported by clear, contextual Bible teaching. He...

    What Is Truth? – The Trial Before Pilate

    Thanks for clarifying. I may have misunderstood your point earlier. If so, I apologize. I now see you were just visualizing the moment with Pilate in a vivid way, not arguing against the text. I appreciate your perspective.

    God Interprets His Scripture

    You’re twisting clear prophetic Scripture into a symbolic fog that strips the text of its plain meaning. Revelation 11 doesn’t say the two witnesses are a “symbolic church,” it calls them two. That’s the Greek word duo (δύο), meaning two in number, not two million. The passage describes them as...

    Reading but Never Seeing: Why Scripture Remains Hidden to the Lost

    You're right to point that out. 2 Peter 2:1 says false teachers will "secretly bring in destructive heresies," but today it’s not even secret. On this forum, many promote false doctrines openly and boldly, and what’s worse is that others cheer them on instead of correcting them with Scripture...

    Reading but Never Seeing: Why Scripture Remains Hidden to the Lost

    I agree that the Scriptures you quoted are true, but what you’re reading into them goes beyond what the text actually says. Philippians 1:29 says it was granted to believers to suffer and believe, but the verse does not say that faith is irresistibly forced or that only certain people are...

    Reading but Never Seeing: Why Scripture Remains Hidden to the Lost

    Yes, that’s mine, I wrote it for my website know-the-bible.com. I’m glad it resonated with you. That line you quoted sums up a deep conviction I hold, without drawing near to the Author, Scripture becomes just words to people. But when we approach it with a heart to know Him, it changes...

    I Have Lost None: The Fierce Protection of Christ

    You're mixing up verses and forcing them to say what they don’t. Let’s be clear. Jesus said, “They shall never perish” (John 10:28). That’s not a maybe, that’s a promise. The Greek is absolute. No one, including the believer, can snatch themselves out of His hand. You say, “yes, but if they stop...
