    JUSTIFICATION: Before God or Before Man? Examining James chapter 2

    Exactly! Man is saved through faith and not by works (Romans 4:5-6; Ephesians 2:8,9); yet genuine faith is (evidenced) by works. (James 2:14-24) *Christ saves us through faith based on the merits of His finished work of redemption "alone" and not based on the merits of our works.* (Romans...

    Can LGBTQ individuals be saved?

    I can't name one Christian in the OSAS camp that I know personally who falsely claims that and I certainly don't falsely claim that. :IDK: Ephesians 4:31 - Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.

    BE READY — The Parable of the Ten Virgins — Condensed Study

    The wording of the five foolish virgins in our text is all too familiar to the reader of Matthew’s Gospel: Matthew 25:11 - "Later, the other virgins came too, saying, ‘Lord, lord! Let us in!’ 12 But he replied, ‘I tell you the truth, I do not know you!" Matthew 7:21 - "Not everyone who says to...

    Was Judas saved?

    According to 2 Corinthians 7:10, there is a difference between two types of grief: Godly Sorrow - A grief prompted by the Holy Spirit that recognizes sin as an offense against God and leads to a genuine change of mind and direction toward Christ. Worldly Sorrow - A deep emotional remorse often...

    Was Judas saved?

    We can change our mind about a lot of things but the new direction of that change of mind must be faith in Jesus Christ in order to be saved. (Acts 11:17,18; 20:21) Suicide is not the fruit of faith and conversion.

    Was Judas saved?

    Matthew 26:24 - The Son of Man is going away just as it is written about Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.'

    Was Judas saved?

    While Matthew 27:3-5 says he felt "remorse" (Greek: metamelomai), returned the money, and confessed he betrayed innocent blood, there is no indication that he repented (metanoeo) and turned to God for forgiveness, instead falling into despair and committing suicide. John 17:12 settles it for...

    Amen to that.

    The Beast Revelation

    I would never say it was okay to get the mark of the beast (which is a grevious sin) which results in pledging allegiance to the anti-Christ and the Bible makes it clear what happens to those people.

    The Beast Revelation

    Why not? It could easily be something in your right hand or forehead (not everyone has a right hand) that needs to be scanned (microchip, barcode tattoo etc..). Just like barcodes on products and microchips in dogs are scanned today.

    Many Say ‘Just Believe’… But What Did Jesus Actually Teach?

    Now there is a difference between doing the will of the Father IN ORDER TO BECOME SAVED: John 6:40 - For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. AND Doing the will of the Father AFTER WE HAVE...

    Many Say ‘Just Believe’… But What Did Jesus Actually Teach?

    We can't believe unless we first repent (change our mind). Matthew 21:32 - For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him. Mark 1:15 - The...
