    Built On The Wrong Apostle

    This article was written by me and used on Christian debate sites. I believe it to be true based on the scriptures given. Subject: Built on the wrong apostle: It is believed, by many, that the grace church was started by Peter on the day of Pentecost. But if you look close all that is written...

    Assurance of salvation:

    John 5:24-27 24 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. 25 Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of...

    The Sin of Unbelief.

    From my study of the Bible scriptures I believe the only sin that condemns in this age of the gospel of grace, as taught by Paul in his writings, is the sin of unbelief: not taking God at His word. Ex 23:27-33 NKJV 27 "I will send My fear before you, I will cause confusion among all the people...

    The Greatest of these is LOVE

    Not man’s love, but God’s love for mankind.. When Man became sinful in the garden God had already made a plan to save them. But God had to keep it a secret until the sin debt had been paid. It would later become the gospel of grace (GOD'S LOVE). But, as I said, it could only be revealed...

    The difference between Acts 15 and Acts 21

    When we read acts 15:1 we see that some Judaizers (Jewish believers in Jesus) came down from Judea teaching the GENTILES "Unless they are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, they cannot be saved." - Because of this, Paul went to Jerusalem to consult with the Apostles (James and the...

    The Words "But Now"

    Theses words are often overlooked when reading scriptures. But they make a dividing line between what was and what has replaced it. In Romans they are used 7 times. In 1 Col 6 times. In 2 Cor, 4 times. In Gal. 1 time. In Eph. 3 times. In Col. 2 times. In Th. 1 time. In Ph. 1 time. In Heb. 5...

    What's missing

    What seems to be missing is that those that teach a child of God MUST have works to show their faith have hung the statement of James that “faith without works is dead” around the necks of those “IN CHRIST” who believe in Jesus‘ work on the cross. To these we are just required to keep the law...

    What do you see?

    Question: Are there any religions that teach God has ALREADY provided a Pardon for ALL of man’s sins of the flesh. The scriptures below indicate that to me, how about you??? ALL SCRIPTURES FROM THE NKJV Isa 53:5-6 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our...

    New religion box write up.

    “THE RELIGION BOX” If you can see it, religion is a box that men of religion have built. It was built by Emperor Constantine in about AD300. It was called the “Roman Catholic Church” Their doctrine was established on a mixture of law, grace and what ever they could come up with to get people...

    When did the RCC begin

    "When did the RCC begin?" Originally posted by; Kevin Kissel - The Roman Catholic Church claims that the early Christians were all Roman Catholics, and that (aside from the Orthodox Church) all Christians were Roman Catholics until the Protestant Reformation. It claims that the Apostle Peter...

    Blended Gospel

    The religious Christian Church is (and has been since the RCC came into existence) teaching a blended, harmonized gospel that takes what Jesus and His Apostles preached to the Jews which included the Law and what Paul preached for the grace Church that excluded the Law and mixes them together...

    My Personal walk with God part 1

    This is my personal walk with God through faith (on 4 pages) I have talked with many representatives of religions. Some of them come to my door and many others are on Internet forums. Although I placed my faith in Jesus at the early age of 9, talking with these representatives caused me to...

    Jesus condemned the religious leaders

    When you read Mathew 23: 1-35 we see what Jesus said of the religious Pharisees of the time. Fast forward to today and we can see that what Jesus said is true in religions today. Most certainly it can be seen in the RCC. Matt 23:1-16 Woe to the Scribes and Pharisees (Mark 12:38-40; Luke...

    A personal relationship

    In a discussion with someone on a forum the following reply was made to a post that contained a statement about “a personal relationship with God.” We were discussing rituals. “”I have to disagree. These 'external things', help us focus on something far more important than a 'personal...

    The High Priest for today

    Heb 7:14-19 14 For it is evident that our Lord arose from Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood. 15 And it is yet far more evident if, in the likeness of Melchizedek, there arises another priest 16 who has come, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but...

    The Barren Fig Tree:

    Luke 13:6-9 6 He also spoke this parable: "A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. 7 Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, 'Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down; why does...

    An Opinion about rituals "in religions

    When a person, or religious organization, keeps inventing sacraments, then it is they're keeping of the sacraments they have faith in, not Christ. Otherwise, why keep those invented sacraments? And when one goes to a confessional and tells a "priest" about their sins, then it is their going to...

    True Repentance:

    I believe that repentance is necessary for the child of God. But that repentance is not a ritual that is done when they think they have sinned. I believe in a repentant attitude, an attitude of continually acknowledging, to God, that the sins of the flesh are always present in the mind. Having...

    Water Baptism

    Two places in the Bible that I do not feel support baptismal regeneration (water baptism necessary for salvation) are as follows. 1 Pet 3:18-22 18 For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by...

    Peter's sermon, Acts 2:31-38 on Pentecost:

    I believe that Peter's sermon has been taken out of context and used as a blanket sermon about repenting and being water baptized. This article is my attempt to prove that it has to be read “IN CONTEXT.“ (was it to the Jews and the Gentiles, or just to the Jews?) Acts 2:31 38 (NKJV) 31 he...
