I believe that a reliance on commentaries are dangerous if we don’t have a handle on God’s Word. I believe the best commentary is the Bible itself If we compare Scripture with Scripture. Some commentaries in Bible undoes what the Bible says sometimes. I believe the key is to ask God to send...

We all like to think we are the heroes of our own story. The truth is that Jesus is the real ultimate hero if we call upon Him and seek forgiveness of our sins with Him, and we ask Him to change our lives in living for Him. Anyways, I think there are some things that I would say that the...

While it is good we pray and ask God in regards to help with our faith, the Scriptures themselves provide the answer to the kind of faith God wants us to attain to and approve of. There is no trying to figure out the faith. The Bible is the faith. For faith comes by hearing, and hearing the...

Yes, overall, I would say that Christian Forums helped to build my faith. Many of my opponents challenged me to re-read the Scriptures again many times. I like to reread the chapter if I can if they challenge me with a verse or passage. I also strive to ask God for His Spirit when reading, too...

Most Christians believe that they are saved by having a belief alone in Jesus as their Savior in believing in the finished work of the cross or in believing only 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. They don’t believe Sanctification is dealing with salvation in regards to entering the Kingdom of God. Yet, 2...

I am not a new believer and I have looked diligently for several years to see if there are any churches that believe the Bible teaches Sanctification is a part of our salvation (along with believing the Trinity, the Bible alone, etc.) and I have not found many. There is one church I discovered...

It has nothing to do with me. I did not write the Bible. God did. If you believe the Bible, you will find that most that what goes on in church is not biblical except for praising God, having a belief in the Godhead (Trinity), and calling upon the name of the Lord Jesus for salvation. Beyond...

This is huge misconception. Most Bible alone following Christians have the idea that church is going to a big building and listening to a sermon when you can do that on YouTube. Most in this camp have the idea of going to church is being next to other believers singing praises to God but...

As for God’s will: God’s will is our Sanctification. 1 Thessalonians 4:3 “For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:” As for the gospel: Again, the gospel is 1 Corinthians 15:1-10. There is no break in thought when reading verses 1-10. So...

Right, because narrow is the way and FEW be there that find it.

None. Just follow God’s Word (the Bible) in what it says plainly and ask God to send His Spirit to give you the understanding.

A door and a gate are not really that different. They both are talking about gaining access or entrance in. Yes, we are to enter into Christ and this is by His grace, but it also includes following Jesus, too. If you were to look at the parallel passage for Luke 13:24 in Matthew 7:13, and you...

Read the context. These are people who already believe Jesus is their Lord. Luke 13:25-27 25 “When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto...

STRIVE to enter the straight gate is in the Bible. Try reading Luke 13:24.

It says they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. Lived means that they are alive on this earth. Lived does not mean they are living in some spiritual realm. It continues to say that the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years was finished thereby comparing death...

*Sigh*. Where did I ever say I must produce fruit on my own? I didn’t. I am a firm believer in God doing the good work through us. I don’t believe we can do any good on our own. Only God can do the good through us. So the point is to surrender to God. Do you even know that you have to pick up...

Do you know posters Taken and or Behold? They also have a problem with the caps lock key and they are not really into addressing any of the points I bring up with Scripture. They also tend to ramble on ignoring the points I made with Scripture. BTW ~ The gospel is 1 Corinthians 15:1-10. Not...

Sorry. I believe this passage below. Revelation 20:4-5 4 “And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image...

Too late. I already made my case with Scripture.

Yes, Paul mentions many times of our Initial Salvation in places like Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 3:5, etcetera. If you are honest in reading the context, you will discover that this is so. As for Paul condemning works in Galatians: Well, this would be the works of the Laws of Moses (i.e. the 613...
