The reason that Christians are not taken up into heaven when they first trust in Christ is so that we can remain here on this earth and be a witness to those that are lost. You will not win many people to Christ if you tell people that you are now righteous. They will see right through your...

No. The definition of religion in the Greek means to bind. The religious are bound by the law. Religion is about us, our works, our piety, our obedience to the law. The Gospel is about Jesus Christ, his works, his piety, his obedience to the law. Al that Jesus is and all that Jesus did was for...

The condition for receiving the Holy Spirit which changes our lives and makes us new creations in Jesus Christ is faith in Christ and his Gospel. All that have faith in Christ and his Gospel are born again by the Gospel, 1 Peter 1:23. This will be evidenced by good works and the Christian life...

As long as you are here on this sinful planet in your unredeemed Adamic body you are a sinner, Romans 8:23. I hope that you are not telling people that you don't sin. Yes, "Christ is the end of the law for righteousness" Romans 10:4. But not yet. You are trying to bring the "not yet" into the...

Jesus said, "As they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you" John 15:20.

Anything less than absolute and perfect obedience to God's law is sin. If you fail in one part of the law you have failed the whole thing, James 2:10. God's Holy Law is spiritual, it searches the desires and the intent of the heart, Hebrews 4:12. Are all of your thoughts pure and without sin...

As usual, you believe that commitment, works, obedience is the sign of a born-again Christian. More than likely you will be in the Lord, Lord didn't we group". One of the most important words in the Bible is "Faith". No one will enter heaven without faith in Jesus and his Gospel. Listen to what...

Christians are both sinners and saints at the same time. A sinner is someone that has or is breaking God's law. The law is the nature and character of God. This is why Paul said, "There is none righteous, no, not one" Romans 3:10. Spiritually, God sees us as perfect and complete "In Christ"...

What really divides Christians from unbelievers is the Gospel. In the Gospel Jesus justifies the ungodly (Us) and reconciles us to God, 2 Corinthians 5:18, 19. In the Catholic religion it is the Catholic church that reconciles us and the world unto God. Good luck with that.

To be under the law or subject to it is to be under a curse, Galatians 3:10. Worse yet to be under the law is to be under God's wrath, Romans 4:15. It appears to me that you are in serios trouble.

Religion is man's effort to make himself pleasing to God by the works of the law. God does not accept the works or the obedience of sinners, which we are all one of. God only accepts the works and the obedience of Jesus Christ; we are accepted only in him and because of him.

Just because someone goes to church and carries a Bible with them does not mean that they are Christians. A counterfeit looks like the real thing, but it is not. How can we tell the counterfeits from the real Christians? This is not an easy task. I have known church members for years...

The word Preterist is not in my dictionary, nor is Futurist. I think that these are words that you have made up.

The word "Reconciliation" indicates that we were at one time enemies with God. But when we heard and believed the Gospel all of that changed. To be reconciled to God means that all of our sins and mistakes have been forgiven and we are now friends with God. Trying to be reconciled unto God by...

I don't know what a Preterist is. I consider myself to be a Gospel believing Christian.

Everything has been fulfilled. Jesus has defeated sin, death and the devil and now sits in heaven as "The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords" Revelation 19:16. It's over, it's finished. We are waiting for the return of Jesus, plus nothing. The tribulation period has ALREADY happened. Tens of...

I don't know what your definition of a Futurist is. God sent Jesus to the cross for the salvation of the world, John 3:17. Jesus died on the cross to reconcile us and the world unto God, 2 Corinthians 5:18-19.

I am not a liberal. I have the freedom to question anything in the Bible that is contrary to the Gospel. The book of James is more Jewish than it is Christian. Many Christian scholars believe that it should not have been included in the canons. Martin Luther was one of them. Paul was not in...

God is not going to have a tribulation period and then a judgment of the lost. Do you believe that God enjoys torturing people? The tribulation period in Revelation has already happened. The book of Revelation is directed to the seven churches in Asia, Revelation 1:11. Not all churches. The...

We cannot reconcile ourselves to God by works, laws or religion. The Catholic church cannot reconcile anyone to God. If you believe that it can, you have been deceived. Many believe that they can reconcile themselves to God by keeping the commandments. Others believe that they can reconcile...
