    The Wrath of God - How is it love?

    It doesn’t matter how we personally define “wrath.” What matters is how God defines it in His Word. Sola Scriptura means we don’t rely on our own opinions, feelings, or reasoning, we submit to what Scripture says. The Bible consistently speaks of God’s wrath as a righteous and holy response to...

    The Wrath of God - How is it love?

    Your view contradicts what Scripture clearly teaches. It is not about what we prefer to believe, it is about what God has said. According to Sola Scriptura, the Bible alone is our authority, and it plainly states that Jesus bore the wrath of God on our behalf. Isaiah 53:5 says, “But he was...

    The Wrath of God - How is it love?

    It is not up to us to decide what God should or should not do. God is the Creator, we are the created. His judgments are righteous and final, whether we understand them fully or not. The Bible is not vague about the reality of eternal punishment. Jesus Himself said in Matthew 25:46, “And these...

    The Wrath of God - How is it love?

    Your questions challenge God's justice, but the Bible gives us clear answers. God is absolutely holy, perfectly just, and all-knowing. He did not create sin, but He allowed the Fall to demonstrate both His righteousness in judgment and His mercy in salvation. Romans 5:12 says, “Wherefore, as by...

    Infant Baptism is not given in scripture.

    You’ve been shown the truth from Scripture, but you reject it for man-made religion. I won’t be responding to your false teaching any further.

    Infant Baptism is not given in scripture.

    You're not defending the truth, you’re promoting the traditions of men that Jesus clearly warned against. You're twisting Scripture instead of reading it the way God actually meant it. Just be honest, come out and say you're a Catholic and you don’t actually believe what the Bible teaches. You...

    The Wrath of God - How is it love?

    Here’s a simple explanation of how God’s wrath and love work together, straight from the Bible: God’s wrath is His anger at sin, not at us as people. Sin is anything that goes against His goodness, like lying or hating, and the Bible says in Romans 1:18, “The wrath of God is revealed from heaven...

    Infant Baptism is not given in scripture.

    Your argument is not based on Scripture but on assumptions and tradition, which God’s Word repeatedly warns against (Mark 7:6–9). Let’s go straight to what is written. First, the claim that 2 Timothy is only for church leaders collapses under the weight of the text itself. The Scriptures are...

    The Danger of Twisting God’s Word

    Ignoring someone who keeps pushing false, unbiblical teachings and harassing others isn’t what the priests and Pharisees did, it’s what Jesus told us to do. The Pharisees rejected truth and killed the prophets, but we’re told to reject heretics after a first and second warning (Titus 3:10–11)...

    Jesus Is God: The Entire Bible Points to This Truth

    Jesus Is God: Scripture’s Testimony from Prophecy to Revelation The Bible, from beginning to end, proclaims a remarkable truth: Jesus Christ is God. This affirmation is woven throughout Scripture, revealed progressively through prophecy, realized in the Gospels, preached by the apostles, and...

    What are some of the reasons people don’t like going to church buildings or institutionalized churches?

    Oh well, I spoke too soon.

    What are some of the reasons people don’t like going to church buildings or institutionalized churches?

    Wow, it looks like we actually agree on something. We are not saved by works, but if we are truly saved, good works will follow. As Ephesians 2:8–9 says, “For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast.” But...

    What are some of the reasons people don’t like going to church buildings or institutionalized churches?

    Let’s be absolutely clear, going to a church building does not save anyone, period. Salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone, not of works, so no one can boast (Ephesians 2:8–9). Sitting in a pew week after week does not prove you're saved any more than standing in a garage...

    Was Christ at any time, under the dominion of death, did He die? If so, how did he overcome His own death?

    According to Scripture alone, Jesus Christ did physically die, and He was indeed under the dominion of death in the sense that His human body experienced death. Romans 5:8 says, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” His death was real...

    What are some of the reasons people don’t like going to church buildings or institutionalized churches?

    The metaphor in Ephesians 2:19–22 works not because of the existence of physical materials like stone or brick, but because Scripture often uses earthly terms to explain spiritual truths. Jesus Himself frequently used parables and metaphors to communicate deeper spiritual realities. In this...

    What are some of the reasons people don’t like going to church buildings or institutionalized churches?

    I do support going to church, but only if the church teaches the truth and follows the Bible. God never tells us to support or attend a church simply for the sake of tradition or community. He commands us to worship Him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24), and to test all things and hold fast to...

    What are some of the reasons people don’t like going to church buildings or institutionalized churches?

    If I had known up front that you identify as Catholic, it would have made your entire position much clearer. That explains why you put so much emphasis on church buildings, religious systems, and man-made institutions, because that’s exactly what the Catholic Church teaches. But let’s be honest...

    What are some of the reasons people don’t like going to church buildings or institutionalized churches?

    Let’s get something straight. I have never told anyone not to worship God, not to gather with other believers, or that worshiping alone is better. That is a lie, and you spreading it are doing exactly what the devil does, twisting words to make themselves look right while refusing to face the...

    What are some of the reasons people don’t like going to church buildings or institutionalized churches?

    I believe what you are saying, and I’m really not pushing small groups as the answer for everyone. All I wanted to do was hear what other actual believers who follow the Bible think about the issue. I knew right away the “you must go to a church building” crowd would take offense, because they...
