    "I Will Not" Because I AM a Christian

    I can conclude that voting is a psyop. Nothing truly gets better. Sure things swing back and forth between Democrats in greater force in the government and Republicans in greater force in the government, but it never swings back to just the same. There is not much real representation. Very...

    Take heed and beware of the leaven (doctrine) of the Pharisees and Sadducees (False Teachers) today.

    Maybe we need to be careful, yet more, about our assumptions, with watching out for false teachers. No teacher is flawless, unless you are talking about the great teacher, Jesus. What if all teachers are false teachers? Teachers will get some things wrong, even if not most things. Doubt this...

    Put Christ where he belongs

    I am not mistaken. You do not know me, and you would be wrong to say I never speak with God's name. And I know, while not critical of those calling God Jehovah, that Bible translations are not with the name correctly shown with "Jehovah" shown in them. It was not actually the pronunciation.

    Still the same

    Belief in the trinity of God, the triunity that is the heavenly Father, the Word that is incarnate as the Son, and the Holy Spirit, is not essential in faith for salvation, in the gospel for us. I would not divide with others over the understanding of it. And there are more significant...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Having another doctrine does not mean having another gospel. Everyone, and I include myself, would be wrong about something. Most generally it would be eschatological views. No one would miss having salvation over that. But none of eschatology would be called doctrine anyway. But we can have...

    Seven questions to ask yourself before posting

    Using the internet needs to be with being cautiously aware, that we do not give up our thinking for ourselves. I think there is connection of internet connection to observed decline of intelligence in the human population.

    Still the same

    Christianity now is not the same as what Christianity was at the beginning. But the gospel of salvation is the same. What is believed about God's trinity is not part of it and one is not saved, or kept from salvation, by what is or is not believed about the trinity. We are separated from God by...

    WAYS THAT AMILS GET ZECHARIAH 14 WRONG

    Jesus Christ, the prophesied Son of Man, returns at the coming battle of the nations against Jerusalem and that is the context of Zechariah 14, so those events in it are very likely at that time.

    Put Christ where he belongs

    I do not think it matters to the salvation of any whether they understand Jesus is God or not. But it is important to know it is through Jesus they have salvation and to repent from sin in their life in being restored to God, to come to God. It is most consistent to understand he is God, and...

    The Baptism That Saves: What Most People Miss in Acts 11:16

    No believers were commanded to go get baptized. There was the commission to go and baptize those of all nations brought to Christ, with water. We are shown that this is a sign of spiritual baptism there is to each real believer that comes to Christ, already.

    The Baptism That Saves: What Most People Miss in Acts 11:16

    In Christ we have the baptism in the Spirit, it is with salvation any of us have. Repentance in salvation is essential, that we would not fall back to sin and never recover. We then remain with essential faith.

    The Baptism That Saves: What Most People Miss in Acts 11:16

    In Christ real believers, with repentant faith, are covered from the fair justice in judgment from God that has been borne by Christ, those ones in him, who came to Christ and are covered that way. Without that the judgment comes to us. With it Christ is our Lord, that we do as we've been told...

    The Devil is in the Details

    Human greed, selfishness, excess, lustful and selfish desire are all present. It's enough for destructiveness in this world already happening (Revelation 11:18) with there being prophetic warning of collapse that we can see would come from the signs, with really looking. The coming one referred...

    The Baptism That Saves: What Most People Miss in Acts 11:16

    God is not willing that any just perish, but would that all come to salvation, which is in faith with repentance coming to God through Christ making it possible. Those who do not do that are not in Christ and, remaining apart, they would perish. No, that does not mean they are annihilated...

    The Devil is in the Details

    I thought that surely someone would try to guess what I figured out, or suggest what they think it would be.

    The Devil is in the Details

    Mystery Babylon, which God's people should not remain in and must come out from, will collapse and fall soon now ahead of the rise of that one prophesied as the beast, who will seduce all in the world apart from God to follow him, with the promises he will give, which will lead to entire...

    KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS

    No one on earth is perfect, we have failed in some ways. The commandments from God show what is right or wrong, above those the high will of God is shown, with what Jesus referred to "as it was in the beginning." Everything after that was with all people including us being sinners. But we do not...

    The Devil is in the Details

    It is doubtful that these passages are just poetry, and even poetry would have meaning that could be explained. Psalms can be called poetry, still with deep meaning. Why would any poetry be isolated here in the gospel of John? Even if you had some point that none of this should be understood...

    Jesus Christ is new God made by one true God.

    There is only one true God. God says there is no other. Jesus is not separate but is the incarnation of God, while they speak to each other being distinct as shown. And who does God's will fully? You are not the image of God without doing so.

    Biblical divorce

    When this argument is used, that from law from the time of Moses what was different from how it was in the beginning was permitted for the hardened hearts of people, it should apply equally to any of it. I understand it that way. But I see others, and likely you, being inconsistent with that...
