…why would you expect heaven or the New Earth to be any better than what we have right now? Why would you pray saying, "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done," if this is what heaven will be like? Is it that God is just going to quit doing/causing evil when we are in heaven or in the New Earth...

God chose you = FATE You chose God = FAITH So which are you saved by .. FATE alone or FAITH alone?

I bought a good book recently .. Soteriology Simplified by Dr. Bob Hadley. It has a very good job of disemboweling Calvinism. It begins by pointing out that the central concept of Calvinism is the total sovereignty of God. "Calvin took this theme and made it the foundation upon which all the...

...your THEOLOGY, or your RELIGION keep you OUT OF HEAVEN. Let's just face it, Christian, we ALL believe the part of the gospel of Jesus Christ that Paul stated clearly in 1Cor 15:1-4 -- "how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose...

So can I just put a plug in here for the real gospel Acts 2:36-40? There are so many "Christian" gospels out there that it is hard for anyone to really know whether they have obeyed God unto salvation. In Acts 2:36-37a, Peter, the Comforter/Holy Spirit, convicts them "of sin, righteousness...

Grace is manna from heaven .. free and unmerited gift of God .. we are to go out (seek it), gather it, and eat it (receive it) ere it corrupt or be taken away by the "evil one." It is the "incorruptible seed" … the Word of God," the very Spirit of God, "that lives and abides forever." (1Pet...

Adam was created innocent in the presence of God and good while knowing no evil. When Adam sinned (and when we sin), we know evil in our minds and desire evil in our hearts thereby turning away from God and good. We, on the other hand, are born innocent in the presence of man and evil while...

The rationale for understanding why all are reconciled by God to Himself and yet we must reconcile ourselves to Him in order to be saved is… 2Cor 5:14 — "…if one died for all, then were all dead. … that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but live unto Him which died for...

No, and neither does His plan of salvation. The first step is justification of the sinner. In Job 33:26-29, we read… "He shall pray unto God, and [God] shall be favorable unto him … and if any say, 'I have sinned and perverted that which was righteous and it profited me not,' [God] will...

Jesus died for everyone and for no one in particular. That is, from the foundation of the world, Jesus died for the" justification of life" for ALL, Ro 5:18. 2Cor 5:19-20 describes it like this: "God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself," and yet we as individuals need to reconcile...

One of the most important things to grasp about salvation is how to KNOW that we have it .. how we LEARN that we have it. In Psychology, there is a process for learning everything that we know. It is called the "stimulus-feedback loop." It works this way: we receive through our senses a...

This should be an interesting discussion. I recently read a book about the Trinity. I don't have it with me just now but will reference it soon. This view is held by Ted Peters and a man last name of Sexton. Theirs is a fairly intriguing view. The view says that the personages of the...

There are several things I can think of that dispose me to think that DJT is the end times President. 1) I believe that America is the subject of Rev 18:1-8. If that is so, we can definitely see that he will bring in an America that will make the kings and merchants of the world rich and...

I'd like for us all to take a look at Zech 11 — a passage that almost no one studies in relationship to the days we are living in. In fact, I brought it up on one site and a very fine pastor said that he wondered where I got my thoughts. "Well, the Holy Spirit, sir." So here goes my brief...
