    Breaking Free From Fake Religion

    2 Corinthians 4:3–4 – “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” 1 Corinthians 2:14 – “But the...

    Breaking Free From Fake Religion

    This is why you don't understand, even when the truth is plain and simple: 2 Corinthians 4:3–4 – “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is...

    Breaking Free From Fake Religion

    The Bible says it straight: salvation is “by grace… through faith, not of works” (Ephesians 2:8–9). “Justified by faith without the deeds of the law” (Romans 3:28). “To him that worketh not, but believeth… his faith is counted for righteousness” (Romans 4:5). That’s faith alone. James only shows...

    Breaking Free From Fake Religion

    The Bible is clear, salvation is by faith, not works. “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast” (Ephesians 2:8–9). “Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the...

    Breaking Free From Fake Religion

    Jesus was not speaking of literal eating and drinking. “It is the spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing, the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life” (John 6:63). To “eat His flesh and drink His blood” is to believe on Him with all your heart. “I am the...

    Breaking Free From Fake Religion

    Your argument that “faith alone is not sufficient” runs contrary to the obvious teaching of Scripture. This is a matter of salvation. “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast”...

    Breaking Free From Fake Religion

    You know better. You're twisting my words. I never denied James 2: 24 and I never said that faith was empty or without fruit. What I said and what Galatians 3 clearly says is that we are saved by faith in Christ alone, not by works of the law or human effort. James was not contradicting Paul, he...

    Breaking Free From Fake Religion

    “O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you?” (Galatians 3:1). Paul’s words pierce the lies of religion based on human effort. The Galatians had begun in faith but had slipped into adding works to their salvation. We see the same today: men and women trust in Christ, then turn to church...

    Why the World Hates the Truth: Lessons from the Tragic Death of Charlie Kirk

    The tragic shooting of Charlie Kirk has left many asking why such evil is allowed to happen. But the truth is, this world has always hated the light. The news of Charlie Kirk’s shooting hit many of us with disbelief and grief. Whether or not you agreed with him on every issue, it is safe to say...

    Assassin of Charlie Kirk was living with a transgender partner

    The left is the ones who are spreading demonization, and people need to understand this is exactly why assassinations and attempted assassinations are happening. When the left constantly calls Trump “Hitler” and paints conservatives as enemies of the people, they are feeding lies that stir...

    When exactly do you become a Christian?

    This is a public forum, so yes, you will receive more than one response. Nobody is ganging up on you, that's just the nature of public discourse. You are free to read or ignore what you choose, but you can't demand everyone else be silent until you're ready. If you don't have time to read...

    When exactly do you become a Christian?

    You say it's my opinion, but I quoted the Scripture. Psalm 24: 1 says, "The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein." That is not my opinion, that is God's Word. The difference between what you call my opinion and Scripture is this: when I explain a...

    The extortion gospel - "believe or burn" - not really a choice

    No, that is not what God wants. The Bible is clear that fear of man is not the aim, and hatred is not the measure by which God has called His people to live. The fear God calls us to is the fear of Him, holy reverence for Him that results in obedience and faith. Proverbs 9: 10 states, “The fear...

    The Folly of Denying God

    The Bible is not shy about the ugliness of unbelief. “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God” (Psalm 53:1). Pay attention, it does not say, the mind or the intellect. It says, “the fool hath said in his heart”. When people deny God it is not because they have any evidence against His...

    When exactly do you become a Christian?

    Please let me take you step by step through the passages you have mentioned. Psalm 24: 1 is clear “The earth is the LORD’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.” (Psalm 24:1) This speaks of God’s ownership as Creator, not as Savior. Every man is His because He formed...

    If Satan disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14), how can we be sure we're not following someone who appears “biblical” but is ac

    You are bringing tradition and history into the conversation instead of Scripture. Jesus never said His church was built on Peter as a man. He said, “upon this rock I will build my church” (Matthew 16:18). The rock was Peter’s confession of who Christ is (Matthew 16:16–17). Scripture interprets...

    Survey - Is Repentance important to salvation?

    Let me remind you also that YOU started this conversation, see post #11. I am not sinning against YOU, I am answering what you wrote with Scripture. My only zeal is to shine the light of God’s Word on false teaching, not to attack you personally. You accuse me of slander, but the Bible commands...

    Charlie Kirk conservative speaker shot in the neck. Condition unknown for now.

    That is the Democrats' attitude, and they push and push and push. Then, if they don't get their way, they tear down our cities and kill people.

    If Satan disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14), how can we be sure we're not following someone who appears “biblical” but is ac

    Obedience is important, but we must be specific as to what obedience means. Satan can't duplicate obedience to God's Word, but he can duplicate outward obedience to men's systems and “church” structures. Jesus declared, “This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with...

    Survey - Is Repentance important to salvation?

    Don’t “hide behind ‘I just quoted Scripture.’” Satan quoted Scripture in Matthew 4: 6 but he twisted it out of context to advance a lie. That’s exactly what you’re doing. The problem is not the Bible, it’s the way you’re twisting it to deny what it plainly says. “He that believeth on me hath...
