Good word here. There is wisdom in learning that everybody can be loved, but everybody cannot be trusted with the same level of access. Even Jesus loved perfectly, yet John tells us, “Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men” ~John 2:24. That is not bitterness. That is...

Wonderful post. We often do make things more complicated than Scripture does. The Lord has spoken plainly enough for a child to understand the way of salvation, and plainly enough for every believer to know how to walk. Jesus said, “Repent ye, and believe the gospel” ~Mark 1:15. Paul said...

Good post. The heart of the parable really does expose both sons. The younger son wanted the father’s goods, and the older son wanted the father’s rewards, but the father himself was the real treasure. That is a needed reminder. I would only add one careful clarification. Christ did not become...

Silence may keep the peace, but Scripture calls us to keep the faith.

I agree with the point of your thread. Let the scholars speak if they will, but let every scholar, preacher, teacher, and apologist stand under the Word of God. Jesus Christ rose from the dead according to the Scriptures, and that is where faith must stand. God bless you, too.

I agree that the resurrection of Christ must never be reduced to human argument, historical theory, or apologetic technique. The final authority is not the scholar, the apologist, or the reconstruction of a timeline. The final authority is the written Word of God. Paul says plainly, “Christ...

The issue is not that the foolish virgins lost salvation. The issue is that they were never truly ready. They had lamps, they had appearance, they had association, and they had expectation, but when the bridegroom came, they were shut out because they lacked what was necessary. Jesus ends the...

That’s exactly the paradox. People know material things cannot give lasting peace. Money can buy comfort, distraction, status, and options, but it cannot give forgiveness, cleanse guilt, conquer death, or reconcile a sinner to God. Jesus said, “Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s...

I get why some folks love The Chosen, it’s not word-for-word from the Bible, and the creators have said they’re adding stuff to make it interesting and watchable for people who don’t usually pick up a Bible. With so little worth watching on TV these days, I can see the appeal of something that...

The Bible is not on trial. Man is. Jesus said, “the scripture cannot be broken” ~John 10:35. God’s Word does not bow before modern skepticism. It exposes the heart and stands forever. The question is not whether Scripture will stand. It will. The question is whether we will stand with it.

[Verse 1] They bring it to the stand with steady hands Lay it open like a body on the floor They read the charges slow, they've got their plans They've done this kind of thing before One angel here, two angels there They say the record doesn't match They take their pen and circle what's not fair...

No, you’re not exposing contradictions. You are taking surface differences, assuming contradiction first, and then calling every reasonable answer “mental gymnastics.” That is not careful reading. Jesus said plainly, “the scripture cannot be broken” ~John 10:35. He treated Scripture as...

The examples you listed have already been answered. I am not going to keep repeating the same explanations over and over. Matthew and Acts on Judas and the field were already addressed. Matthew gives the priests’ action. Acts gives Judas’s responsibility and the source of the blood money. That...

I agree with you. This is bigger than money. A person does not have to be wealthy to have a heart wrapped up in self. A man can have pockets nearly empty and still be ruled by comfort, convenience, and coldness. Scripture says, “in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be...

Don't know who shepherdsword is.

The Word draws the line with no blur and no excuses. Jesus put it plain: “My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me” ~John 7:16. That single sentence tests every voice that claims to speak for God. If the teaching didn’t come from the Father who sent the Son, it’s man-made noise no matter...

Some men preach to be noticed. Jesus spoke because He was sent. That is the blade John 7:16-18 lays against the conscience. It does not ask whether a message sounds impressive. It asks where it came from, whose will it serves, and whose glory it seeks. Jesus said, “My doctrine is not mine, but...

There are no contradictions in the Bible. There are contradictions in the darkened understanding of men who handle Scripture like prosecutors instead of hearers before God. Jesus said, “the scripture cannot be broken” ~John 10:35. That settles the issue for anyone who claims to follow Christ...

That objection only works if you force the text to say more than it says. Matthew tells us who handled the purchase: “the chief priests took the silver pieces… and bought with them the potter’s field” ~Matthew 27:6-7. Acts tells us whose money purchased it and whose wicked act led to it: Judas...

You are still treating partial accounts as contradictions. That is the mistake. Matthew tells how Judas died by his own act: “he departed, and went and hanged himself” ~Matthew 27:5. Acts tells what happened afterward to his body: “falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his...
