    PETER DIDN'T PREACH THE DEATH AND RESURRECTION

    What you are teaching is false. Peter preached the death and resurrection of Christ. The text very clearly says that. You aren’t discovering something that has been concealed. You are turning a blind eye to what is right in front of you. Peter preached Christ’s death: “Him…ye have taken, and by...

    DO WE HAVE TO CONFESS HIS NAME?

    The claim that confession “applies only to Israel” is false. Paul explicitly removes that restriction in the same passage: “There is no difference between the Jew and the Greek” ~Romans 10:12. Whatever Romans 10:9–10 teaches applies to all who are saved, not Israel alone. Confession is not a...

    Impediments to Spiritual Growth in Christ.

    You are a false teacher. You say you speak truth, yet you regularly place yourself over God’s written Word. You speak of being “corrected” as “cat-calling”, yet James plainly says that every teacher is to be tested by Scripture, NOT how highly he thinks his message should be received ~1 John...

    Impediments to Spiritual Growth in Christ.

    You throw around buzzwords from mysticism to dodge denying what God actually wrote. That is not deep, that is deceit. Jesus did not elevate truth above facts. He claimed to be the truth God revealed. He prayed, “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” ~John 17:17 If His Word is...

    Releasing Angels!

    This is not taught anywhere in Scripture. Not once. The Bible does not instruct believers to “release angels,” command spirits over cities, or lay hands on apartment doors as a spiritual technique. Angels are not under human authority. They obey God alone. “Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that...

    Releasing Angels!

    Scripture never instructs believers to claim buildings, command angels, or bind spirits over cities. You will not find that language in the Word of God. Christians do not send out Angels. Angels only obey God’s command. “Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his...

    Impediments to Spiritual Growth in Christ.

    The foundational error of this entire post is the dichotomy between “facts” and “truth.” Scripture never presents truth in that manner. God’s truth reveals what is true about Christ. Doctrine is essential. Doctrine is not the frivolous pursuit of church historians. “Take heed unto thyself, and...

    This is totally for Christian's

    Scripture never describes heaven in terms of human vision or social correctness. Heaven is not something we conform to by evolutionary goodness. We are born fit for heaven through new birth. "Jesus replied, "No one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again." ~John 3: 3 Do not pray for...

    False Christs, False Prophets and False Teachers. These are the days we live in.

    I totally agree. There are many false teachers on this very forum and other Christian forums I am on. They try to change what the Bible says to say what they want it to say because they don't want to face the truth. But that will not work in the end for them. They are relentless. I really don't...

    Religion Has Always Been the Dividing Factor Among People.

    There is such a thing as self-righteousness. Jesus had no patience with it. “The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself… But he that cleansed himself? went away justified before God” as opposed to “the publican that cried unto God” ~Luke 18:9–14. The Bible is crystal clear on that point...

    What Did Jesus Mean by “Lord, Lord”? (Matthew 7:21)

    Jesus is not describing strangers knocking on heaven’s door. He is warning church folks who thought they already had the key. “Lord, Lord” is not a cry of panic. It is a claim of familiarity. These are people confident in their religious résumé. They preached. They served. They did things in His...

    What Did Jesus Mean by “Lord, Lord”? (Matthew 7:21)

    Here is where your reasoning crosses the line Scripture will not cross. You keep redefining faith as obedience itself. The Bible never does that. Scripture consistently says obedience flows from faith, not that obedience is faith. Paul states it plainly. “To him that worketh not, but believeth...

    What Did Jesus Mean by “Lord, Lord”? (Matthew 7:21)

    You are right that Scripture uses the word “know” to describe real relationship. But your conclusion drifts away from what Jesus is actually warning about in Matthew 7. Jesus is not teaching that eternal life comes from embodying God’s character traits through the Law. He is warning about...

    Why the great chain?

    You are no longer submitting to Scripture. You are reshaping it. The text does not say the angel is Jesus. That is your assertion, not John’s. Scripture repeatedly identifies Christ plainly when He appears. Revelation 20 does not. Adding “You-Know-Who” where the Bible is silent is not insight...

    What Did Jesus Mean by “Lord, Lord”? (Matthew 7:21)

    Jesus was not warning about respect or acknowledgment of authority. He was warning about false profession. The people saying “Lord, Lord” believed they belonged to Him, yet Jesus says plainly, “I never knew you” ~Matthew 7:23. Their words were correct. Their lives were not. Jesus defines the...

    Why the great chain?

    Scripture has been stated plainly and compared with Scripture. The condition described in Revelation 20 does not match the present world ~1 John 5:19. I will not repeat arguments or debate systems. This is my final reply.

    Why the great chain?

    PinSeeker, the disagreement here is not over whether Gentiles can be saved. Scripture is settled on that. The disagreement is over what Revelation 20 actually says the binding accomplishes. Revelation does not say Satan is bound so that some Gentiles may be saved. It says he is bound “that he...
