Christ didn't retaliate or "defend" Himself when people assaulted Him. Neither did Paul. Matter of fact, Paul and Stephen didn't even "defend" themselves or retaliate when people stoned them. I also don't recall any of the Christians of the 1st-4th centuries "defending" themselves from the...

The whole problem with YEC is that it based entirely on people reading Gen. 1:1-3 as events that happened immediately after another while ignoring all of the other passages that proves this planet existed longer than 6,000 years. The fact that Job. 38:4-8 shows God saying the universe was...

The Bible says Moses was a friend of God and that there hasn't been a prophet like him since in all of Israel. While Paul possibly worked harder than any of the other original apostles, the Bible doesn't come anywhere close to speaking of him in the same way that it does Moses.

The bolded is why unauthorized denominations exist and don't understand the Bible: people are trying to view the Bible their own way instead of simply accepting it for what it says. It was the biggest reason why the OT religion was corrupted by the Pharisees and other groups, and it's why...

The whole reason why Paul called sinners "sons of disobedience" in Eph. 2:2 is because Satan is their master, whether they knowingly reject God's commandments as a way of life or not. If they're rejecting God's way of life and the truth revealed in the Bible, that obviously means they're...

From what i understand so far, there is plenty of reason to believe Columbus was heavily involved in the Trans-Atlantic slavery business from an entry he apparently made in his journal about how the Taino should be enslaved to mine gold for the Spanish empire. If there is any truth to this and...

Paul taught Gentiles the same exact gospel message Christ taught to the Jews: 1. Christ: “I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent.” - Luk. 4:43 Paul: “And indeed, now I know that you all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom...

Druid priests would go door to door demanding a human offering from the family in the house to be sacrificed(this was the forerunner of the tradition practiced by modern satanists and witches). If the family didn't comply, the priest would draw a hexagram on the house and return later to burn it...

False religion is what creates the conflict, not being religious. When Christ returns, He and His saints will prove that true religion unites and puts everyone on an equally advantageous playing field. All of the false religions of this world produce much of the conflict and grievances that...

This theology is absolute nonsense, and Rev. 2-3 shows why: many truly converted Christians have fallen away from the truth and even actively opposed it because they didn't do their part in producing satisfactory works. Having the Holy Spirit does not magically make somebody do the right thing...

"Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law." - Rom. 3:31 "Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what matters." - 1 Cor. 7:19 "Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His...

While it's true that Amo. 8:9-12 is an end-time prophecy, it does not concern what Orthodox Christianity's ministers are teaching. It's about how the world will stop receiving the warnings that are coming from God's Church when it's time for it to be taken to a place of safety. In the process of...

That commentary has the facts all wrong, and a close examination shows why. For starters, the original Hebrew has Lucifer saying he will be the Most High God, not just be His equal. The basis for Lucifer's rebellion was about his desire to replace the Most High as Ruler of the universe, not...

In the bibles i read, i see Rom. 6:23 saying the wages of sin is death, Eze. 18 stating twice that the soul that sins will die, Mal. 4 saying the saints of God will walk on the ashes of the condemned. and Rev. 20 saying the unrepentant will be condemned to a second and permanent death. I don't...

Paul told Timothy in 1 Tim. 3:15 that the people who are in God's Church have the monopoly on the truth. So obviously, it stands to reason that 1 person's take on a biblical matter holds more weight than others if what they say and practice is based solely on what the Bible actually teaches...

God's Kingdom will still be on this earth for eternity, before and after the new Earth is made. When Daniel wrote that God's kingdom will rule this earth forever once it's set up here in chapters 2 and 7, that's exactly what he meant. The only things that will have changed is that the Father...

The problem with this belief is that Mal. 3 is only partially messianic. Verses 2 and 3 says Christ will come like a refiner's fire and will make the corrupt ministers experience the Tribulation to make them repent. That didn't happen the first time Christ came because He simply made the...

I'm not sure a trinitarian who also subscribes to antinomianism is in any position to tell others that God must be worshiped in spirit and truth, because both of those beliefs have absolutely no truth in them. I'm also sure you don't appreciate the fact that virtually all professing Christian...

None of those people are in Heaven, because Jesus was very clear in Jhn 3:13 that He was the only human being that would ever go there. Everybody else that dies has to wait for the appropriate time where Christ will resurrect them. It sounds cruel because people would rather be comforted with...

If a person is genuinely saved, they will observe the NT Passover at the time the Bible commands it to be done. That being said, it should be a requirement because Christ said it is a requirement: "Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of...
