    People in Hell are happy

    You are judging God by your emotions instead of letting God’s Word judge your emotions. Scripture never teaches that God’s holiness negates His justice. It says the exact opposite. “The Lord is righteous in all His ways” ~Psalm 145: 17, and “His judgments are true and just” ~Revelation 16:7...

    Can the Bible contain mistakes?

    Well, I took your advice and looked around, wondering why you don't believe the bible, and found the following. The reason you can not believe what the Bible plainly teaches is because the link in your signature “The Church That Jesus Built” statement of faith from your website teaches things...

    Can the Bible contain mistakes?

    You can accuse me of anything you like, but you cannot accuse Scripture of being vague. Your answers are not from the Word. They are from the premise that the Bible is partly man’s word and partly God’s, and therefore subject to fallible human interpretations unless you have some person study...

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    You are proving my point with every sentence. You keep avoiding the Scriptures I quoted and attacking me instead. “Test all things; hold fast what is good” ~1 Thessalonians 5:21. If you refuse to test your claims by the Word, then your accusations have no weight. Personal insults do not replace...

    Can the Bible contain mistakes?

    What you said does not sound like Christianity to me. Christianity is not defined by what certain groups have done in society. Scripture tells us salvation is “by grace… through faith… not of works” ~Ephesians 2:8-9. Good works, charity, or social service can never get anyone to heaven. Jesus...

    Can the Bible contain mistakes?

    Scripture provides none of the categories you are using. The Bible never divides God’s people into “traditional,” “Orthodox,” “Catholic,” or “Protestant.” Those labels come from man, not from God. The only division God recognizes is this: those who belong to Christ and those who do not. Jesus...

    Can the Bible contain mistakes?

    Scripture is very clear on this topic. God never made anyone evil. “God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good” ~Genesis 1:31. Evil did not originate from God. Evil entered the world when mankind chose to rebel. “Through one man sin entered the world, and death through...

    Can the Bible contain mistakes?

    You keep accusing me of distorting you, but you have not answered a single verse I gave. Scripture, not emotion, not accusations, is the standard. “Let God be true but every man a liar” ~Romans 3:4. So let’s measure your claims by the Word. First, you say translation variations mean doctrines...

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    You are not answering the verses. You are attacking the person. That is the clearest sign that your position has no biblical foundation. Scripture commands believers to judge teaching by the Word, not by accusations or labels. “To the law and to the testimony. If they do not speak according to...

    Can the Bible contain mistakes?

    Your argument contradicts Scripture’s testimony about itself. The Bible never teaches the prophets were presenting “inaccurate viewpoints.” It teaches the opposite. “All Scripture is God breathed” ~2 Timothy 3:16. This means the words they wrote did not come from human opinion. They came from...

    Can the Bible contain mistakes?

    You are not speaking with the voice of Scripture. You are speaking against it. When you claim the Bible is “man made,” you are denying what God Himself has said about His own Word. That is not a small error. That is rejecting the very foundation of truth. Scripture does not call itself a human...

    People in Hell are happy

    I’m not going to entertain the false teachings in this post. When people start creating their own version of God, that is nothing new. Scripture calls it idolatry. Anyone who reshapes God into what they prefer has already turned from the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and is following the god...

    Can the Bible contain mistakes?

    You’re building your entire argument on ideas the Bible never teaches. Let’s call them what they are. Error 1: Treating God’s Word like a human document. You talk about the Bible being “99 percent accurate” as if God makes technical errors. Scripture does not speak that way. “All Scripture is...

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    What you are saying is not biblical. When you frame clear Scripture as “dogmatic religion,” you are not correcting me, you are resisting what God already spoke. The Word of God is not divided against itself. Jesus never taught truth that contradicts the rest of Scripture, and He never told...

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    You’re mixing what God completed with what man does. Jesus didn’t give parables to take the place of doctrine, He used them to teach it. Every story revealed truth about the kingdom. The Bible never divides people by class or opportunity. God “shows no partiality” ~Romans 2:11. Both rich and...

    Faith That Walks When the Road Isn’t Paved

    Faith is not lying to yourself that everything is alright when it’s not. Faith is standing up when everything in you is telling you to sit down. Hebrews 11 starts with a definition that shatters the world’s version of confidence: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of...

    Faith isn’t proven when the road is smooth, it’s proven when you keep walking after the road...

    Faith isn’t proven when the road is smooth, it’s proven when you keep walking after the road disappears.

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    Doctrine is not the property of the well-to-do or well-educated, it is the life-giving truth that goes to anyone who believes. “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” ~Matthew 4:4. The word of God sustains the poor and the rich, the weak and the...

    Playing with Fire: The Cost of Willful Sin

    This is exactly the same pattern you’ve used in other threads, and it needs to be called out plainly. You keep interrupting discussions by twisting the passage away from what God actually says. Hebrews 10 is not about temple rituals and it is not about “losing salvation over one sin.” That is a...

    Playing with Fire: The Cost of Willful Sin

    When the verse in Hebrews 10 speaks of “after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins,” it is not talking about someone who is born again. The Bible never says that knowing the truth is equivalent to being saved. Jesus said a man can hear His words...
