    A history of failed prophecies

    That right there is the problem: you don't care, even when Christ explicitly said His followers are supposed to watch world trends. Christ gave the signs so His followers would know when the end of the age was near. It's true that the Father is the only being who knows the exact moment Christ...

    Treason against God/Christ the King

    David is a fantastic example of how God expects people to respect their government and be faithful to it, even if the people holding office aren't worthy of respect. After all the unjustifiable attempts Saul made on his life, David still treated Saul as his master and his king. The only...

    The faithful and the saints: Bringing Calvinism and Arminianism together.

    Contrary to what you seem to believe, God choosing people isn't exclusive from His grace. Read the OT scriptures where God talks about choosing Jacob's descendants to be His people, even though they were lowly slaves and did nothing to deserve such an honor. That's grace. God choosing and...

    Times Jesus contradicted/"override" the Old Testament

    Here's why you are 100% wrong: "For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ." - 2 Cor. 11:2 When Jesus said there are no contradictions in the scriptures(Jhn 10:35), that's exactly what He meant: 0...

    Are nativity scenes idolatry?

    I don't care if someone wants to view me as a religious zealot or "legalist", but nativity scenes are idols. They point people to a false god(especially because such things are never seen until Christmas season), and God specifically stated in the 2nd commandment that He is not to be physically...

    Its of Faith so to be of Grace

    Passages like Rom. 12:1-2 and Jas. 2:14-26 shows why your definition of repenting is definitely wrong. Belief in Christ has to be supported by actively applying what is in the Bible and following His example, otherwise the person only has a dead, worthless faith with no substance.

    Israel and prophecy

    Blindly posting passages without knowing what they're teaching doesn't automatically make you right. It makes you at best, illiterate. At worst, it makes you ignorant. The fact that you posted these passages actually prove what i posted, otherwise prophecy wouldn't mention them as being separate...

    Is Santa Claus a fraud?

    Your rejecting what the Bible says isn't my problem. If you don't want to believe what it says, that's on you.

    Why Crosses and Crucifixes?

    I know what you said, and i'll said it again: it doesn't stand for Christianity in any way. I think i'll stick with the actual facts of history and not "Christian" myths.

    Being Different From the World

    I'm sorry, but it is extremely laughable to say the U.S. is the last beacon of light to resist Satan. It has been one of the world's foremost exporters in perverse entertainment, perverse lifestyles, and perverse music for the past 7-9 decades. Why do you think the Islamic theocracies hate us...

    End-Time Deception - Hebrew Roots/Messianic Movement

    It is incorrect to claim most Gentile converts were ignorant of the content of scripture in light of James stating in Acts 15:21 that the Law was read to the Gentiles in all of the synagogues. That's excluding the fact that Paul frequently quoted the Law or referenced a principle from the Law in...

    Is Santa Claus a fraud?

    Saying Santa Claus is taking the glory away from Christ implies Christ ever had anything to do with this Satan-inspired festival. It is completely blasphemous to even imply it should be about Christ because as the OT God, He stated in very clear language that it is 100% unacceptable to use pagan...

    Did Jesus really mean that Muslims or Hindus would go to hell?

    Two things need to be made very plain because Orthodox Christianity has deceived people for centuries using that statement: 1. Jesus couldn't be more clear when He said the only way to the Father was through Him. He was not speaking in code. People subscribing to man-made religions are...

    Who was the first pope / ruler of Church?

    While John and Jesus' brother James were also pillar apostles, Peter was clearly designated by Christ to be the lead apostle in Matt. 16. The fact that Christ renamed him Peter inherently proves this because "Peter" was an ancient designation for religious leaders. Peter gave the sermon at...

    What Is Faith.

    The part you are overlooking though is that Paul talks about faith that involved the kind of action that supported their belief in God's existence. Those people didn't just subscribe to the feel-good "look to Jesus" brand of faith religious people talk about today. Heb. 11 is proof that Paul and...

    Should Christians Always Be Healed?

    We don't keep better records than people did in Paul's day. This current era is full of people who are either trying to blot out existing history or rewrite history according to their own biases. As 1 Cor. 10:6 says, the OT is for Christians to learn from because it definitely applies to them...

    The Christian Resurrection vs. the Jew's Resurrection

    There is an incident in Acts that thoroughly debunks this narrative: "But when Paul perceived that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, 'Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee; concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being...

    Israel and prophecy

    The promises were not given to all of Jacob's sons. The genealogy in 1 Chr. 5:1-2 states twice that Joseph was given the birthright promises after Reuben defiled his father's bed. You can also read in Gen. 48:8-20 that the birthright was then passed on to Joseph's sons Manasseh and Ephraim, and...

    Ezekiel's End Time Prophesies

    God didn't restore Israel in 1948 because the Jewish state in the Middle East is biblical Judah, not Israel. Most people, including the Jews themselves, are completely deceived into thinking they are Israel when they're not. Biblical Israel is comprised of the descendants of the northern 10...

    Rejection of God mostly because of....

    There's one reason you didn't mention: unbelievers see the poor example that is often set by adherents of Orthodox Christianity. Many of these adherents' actions and words don't resemble those of Christ's at all. I see it in politics and just about everywhere else all the time. A lot of these...
