This thread isn’t about Calvinism. You’re the only one bringing that up. We’re talking about what was actually said, not trying to label someone without evidence. And John 3:16 doesn’t prove what you’re claiming. It says, “For God so loved the world… that whosoever believeth in him should not...

When you see someone sin, don’t criticize them. Pray for them. God shows you so you’ll help, not judge. Stay humble, follow Christ, and lift others up in prayer.

That’s a lot being said, but it’s not being handled carefully with Scripture. Prayer is real, but it doesn’t mean we control everything. “If we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us” ~1 John 5:14. God answers, not us controlling outcomes. And being “heirs” doesn’t mean we run this...

I’ve never heard him teach Calvinism or OSAS either. And there’s nothing showing that from his own church’s beliefs. That’s just being assumed, but it's not true. So instead of throwing labels around, let’s deal with what was actually said. “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good” ~1...

The following video, if it actually told the whole story, would be a great video, but I want to bring out how our culture subtly and deceitfully leaves out important parts so sin can be promoted without challenge. They didn’t deny the sin. They just refused to say it. And that’s how...

I don't know much about it. Just heard it when the Pastor was talking about it. Some of these men really do teach versions of this. Lance Wallnau and C. Peter Wagner are the clearest examples. Others like Bill Johnson have helped promote the same “Seven Mountains” idea, even if they word it...

I agree with what you’re saying. There is false teaching in Pentecostal circles, but that’s not unique to them. You’ll find the same issue across just about every denomination. At the end of the day, the real question isn’t the label on the church. It’s whether that local church is actually...

They didn’t stone Him the next day for the same reason they didn’t stone Him in that moment… they couldn’t. Jesus said, “Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple” ~John 8:59. It wasn’t lack of intent. It was lack of opportunity. And this wasn’t a one-time reaction. It happened again: “the...

This is what our preacher in Charlotte, NC had to say last week: We live in a time where truth is being replaced with experiences, emotions, and hype. Churches are growing. Crowds are gathering. Movements are spreading. But the real question is this… is it actually biblical? The Word of God...

What you say about those texts being extra-biblical writings is true. The Protoevangelium of James is not Scripture and Christians should not be formulating doctrine from writings decades or centuries after the fact. The Bible is our authority. However, the real issue is exactly what the Bible...

We live in a time when the world is working harder and harder to silence the gospel of hope. Every day the hostility grows toward those who speak openly about Christ and the truth of salvation. But the question still stands: where else can sinners go to be saved? Jesus Christ alone has the words...

The gospel is too glorious, and Christ is too worthy, for His people to live ashamed of His name.

You asked for verses without my interpretation, but that is exactly what I already gave you. I simply quoted Paul and let the text speak for itself. Romans says, “How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?” ~Romans 6:2. That is not my interpretation. Those are Paul’s words...

You keep demanding verses from Paul, so let’s stay right there. Paul does not describe salvation as a permission slip to keep serving sin. He says the exact opposite. “How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?” ~Romans 6:2. Dead men do not keep living the same old life. Then...

That question sounds clever, but it dodges the real issue Scripture is addressing. No Christian claims sinless perfection. The Word of God already settled that. “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us” ~1 John 1:8. Every believer still fights the flesh...

Scripture does not teach that someone is beyond salvation because of a particular sin. Christ came to save sinners. But Scripture is also very clear that salvation includes repentance, and repentance means turning away from the sin. A person cannot claim Christ while continuing to live in a...

Really! You are seeing differences because you are comparing moments in history, not the message of salvation itself. The Bible never teaches two saving gospels. Not once. Paul says the gospel he preached is this: “Christ died for our sins… was buried… and rose again the third day” ~1...

What is Demonic?

You are carving the Bible into pieces God never carved. Yes, Paul was called uniquely. Yes, he received revelation directly from Christ ~Galatians 1:12. But he did not preach a different saving gospel. After defining the gospel in 1 Corinthians 15:3–4, Paul says, “whether it were I or they, so...

Let’s clear the smoke out of the room. You are trying to defend holiness, but you are doing it by rewriting who John is talking to. That is dangerous ground. John says, “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves” ~1 John 1:8. Who is the “we”? The same “we” in verse 7: “If we walk in...
