I'm puzzled: What "standard bogus apologetic" is that?

If we study Romans, we see that the Law, including the Sabbath commandment, applies only to unbelievers in order to lead them to Christ. Once one puts their trust in Christ as Saviour, the Law is fulfilled and no longer applies. The believer has a new law written on their new hearts, involving...

A careful study of the first chapters of Romans will give you that answer.

Paul says that the Law is our tutor to lead us to Christ. Once the person has put their trust in Christ, the Law has been fulfilled. They no longer have to live by the Law. They have the law of Christ written on their new hearts. They hate sin and work to avoid it at all costs. The...

None of Jesus' parables mention people by name. But the Rich man and Lazarus does. This is why the story is presented as a true story. The hell presented in the story is not the lake of fire mentioned in Revelation. Also, the Rich man can see across where Lazarus is in Paradise. We know...

My question is, seeing that the Holy Spirit inspired the written Scriptures, declaring that everything God has to say to mankind is written in the Bible, how come the Holy Spirit gives new revelation to people that is not already written in the Scriptures? I tend to go by the Scripture that...

Where does it say in Scripture that Paul had a mystical experience with God? Paul's encounter of the Damascus Road was a direct personal encounter with the risen and glorified Christ. That's what changed him.

Where in the Bible does it say that those who have been cast into the lake of fire to suffer the eternal wrath of God, will be eventually given a second chance? I don't doubt that God so loves the world that He gave his Son so that whosoever believes on Him will not perish but will have eternal...

Google Ray Comfort and view how he conducts evangelism. I learned a lot through watching him. Paul says that he learned he was a condemned sinner through learning what the Law says about himself.

Yes. The Scripture says that there are none righteous, no, not one. And, all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. We show that a person is not righteous and therefore condemned by comparing their life and conduct by the Ten Commandments. For example: Have you always loved God with...

A judge in a court of law can love and have compassion toward a defendant convicted of murder, but because the law requires him to pass sentence, even if it is a death sentence, he would not be a competent judge if he didn't pass the sentence. Jesus loved the rich young ruler, and was sad when...

There is the belief among many Christian groups that God heals sick people on demand, as if God is a push button vending machine. They believe that as Jesus healed all those who came to Him they can do the same. The difference is that Jesus is God, and they ain't. It is true that God heals...

The Ten Commandments directly apply to evangelism. Without them, evangelism has no effect. This is why people who ask, "What do I need to be saved from?" They won't know they are sinners deserving hell without being confronted with the Ten Commandments and ow they are breaking them every day...

This is true. The Scripture does not say that we should ask for forgiveness. It tells us to confess, repent and forsake sin, Then, according to 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sin, God is faithful and just to forgive us our sin and cleanse us from all unrighteousness". Merely asking...

There is development of liberalism in the churches that seeks to water down the Gospel, placing emphasis on God's love at the expense of His justice. The idea of "separation from God" is not Scriptural. The story of the Rich man and Lazarus speaks of hell being a place of flames and raging...

When Jesus warned against the leaven of the Pharisees, He was not talking about observance to the Mosaic Law through the Torah. The doctrinal basis of the Pharisees was the Talmud, an exaggerated version of the Law with excessive addition of extra rules, making micro-managing of people forcing...

We need to take notice of what Paul says about the Law (The Ten Commandments) in relation to his own experience. He says in Romans that he didn't know he was a sinner until he heard the Law. Then he knew that he was in a hopeless position because he knew that he could not keep the demands of...

This is Universalism, not Scripture.

Hell is actually the holding place where the unconverted go to await the final judgment. We see that in the story of the rich man and Lazarus. The rich man is in hell according to Jesus, but the final judgement has not yet come, and the lake of fire is in the future. It is the lake of fire...

The moment the person genuinely embraces Christ as his total Saviour, fulfilling the promise in Ephesians: "By grace I am saved, not of myself, but is the gift of God, not of works lest I should boast in them." From that point, the newly saved person becomes Christ's workmanship and through the...
