    Breaking Free From Fake Religion

    Paul’s clear teaching, in line with the rest of the Bible, is that justification is by faith apart from works of the law. “Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law” (Rom. 3:28). “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is...

    Breaking Free From Fake Religion

    I agree that the teaching of “once saved, always saved” the way the OSAS crowd presents it is deadly error. It gives people false security while they continue in sin, and it leads many souls to hell every single day.

    How Should Christians Respond in an Age of Rage?

    I think this is a much-needed discussion. You’re right that violence only begets violence, and that is precisely why Christians are called to a different way of responding than the world. The Bible is very clear on this: “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good” (Romans 12:21)...

    Breaking Free From Fake Religion

    Paul does not contradict Jesus in Galatians 3; he explains how the law can’t save. The Bible says the law is holy, just, and good (Romans 7:12). But no one can perfectly keep the law. The law brings a curse and reveals our need for Christ. That’s why Paul said, “Cursed is everyone that...

    Why Many Miss God, and How to Truly See Him

    In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. ~ 2 Corinthians 4:4 Jesus said, “Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8). It’s not just a...

    I’m in favor of arresting criminals and murderers by all means. If DNA is going to help crack cold cases and bring justice, then so be it. It paves the way for biological weapons that are designed to attack specific groups of people based on their genetic traits. That’s no longer science...

    How Should Christians Respond in an Age of Rage?

    I don’t know where you got your thoughts that I said the things you are saying. I never said murder cannot be forgiven. I said, “also praying that this man might repent and hear the gospel in prison before he faces God’s ultimate justice.” Means I believe even a murderer can be forgiven if he...

    How Should Christians Respond in an Age of Rage?

    I hear your heart in this and I know you want to respond in a Christ-like way. But I don’t think the Bible calls us to feel sorry for a man who murders another person in cold blood. God is very clear that murderers are to be held responsible for their sins. Genesis 9: 6 says, “Whoso sheddeth...

    How Should Christians Respond in an Age of Rage?

    I think you gave some good advice here, especially about staying calm in a dangerous situation. That makes a huge difference. I also agree with you that as Christians, we’re told to protect our families. Scripture says if a man doesn’t provide for his household, he’s worse than an unbeliever (1...

    Your reference to the “latter end” being worse is a very good point from 2 Peter 2:20–21, “For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than...

    How Should Christians Respond in an Age of Rage?

    We are in an age of rage. Rage is the norm, and it’s on display across society. News media. Social media. Politics. Anger toward a person like Charlie Kirk is not merely a matter of opinion or disagreement, it tells us something important about their heart. Jesus said it in John 8:44: “You are...

    Proverbs 28: 1: “The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.” It is good to see criminals punished (Romans 13:3–4 says governments are instituted by God to punish evildoers), but a system which gives governments or elites complete access to every person’s DNA goes...

    Why Forgiveness Matters in a World Consumed by Rage and Hate

    Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses. ~ Proverbs 10:12 We live in the age of rage. Rage is the default setting of our society. Turn on the news and you will see it. Scroll through social media and you will feel it. Anger is the anthem of our generation. From the streets to the...

    Breaking Free From Fake Religion

    2 Peter 2: 20 does not teach that true believers can fall from salvation, but that false teachers and their deceived followers can seem to escape corruption outwardly, while never having been born again. Peter makes it crystal clear in the verses before and after. He says in verse 19 that these...

    Breaking Free From Fake Religion

    I agree that the Galatians “fell away,” but Paul is clear on what they fell away from, attempting to put law-keeping on top of the gospel. In fact, Paul accuses them of being foolish in that regard: “Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?” (Galatians...

    Breaking Free From Fake Religion

    You say nothing I cite says “faith alone,” but that’s exactly what the Word of God declares. Paul couldn’t be clearer: Romans 3: 28 – “Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.” Galatians 2: 16 – “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of...

    Breaking Free From Fake Religion

    Yes, that works perfectly. The description, “La madre de mentiras y muerte, la reina de los diablos” (“The mother of lies and death, the queen of the devils”) accurately fits the RCC from a biblical perspective. Jesus called Satan a liar and the father of it. “For he is a liar, and the father...

    No wonder they can't see; they have placed their trust in man rather than in God. I understand now. I did not know they were RCC. Blinded by the prince of darkness. May God, please open their eyes to the truth before it is too late.
