    Both verses are correct, because God’s Word never contradicts itself. John 6: 44 shows that no one can come to Christ apart from the Father’s drawing. John 12: 32 shows that the cross is the means by which Christ draws all men, Jew or Gentile, to Himself. The Greek word for “draw” in both verses...

    if i wanted to become a catholic

    You’re dodging. This isn’t about Calvinism, it’s about the false gospel of Rome that you keep defending. Throwing out “Calvinism” is just a distraction. I don’t follow Calvin, Luther, or any man, I follow Christ and His Word alone. The issue is simple: the Bible says we are saved “by grace…...

    You said, “You enjoy arguing. I don't.” That's hilarious. You claim to not like arguing, yet here you are going out of your way to defend every single point of false doctrine that Catholicism spews. The fact is, I am not the one arguing, I am simply pointing to Scripture. You are the one...

    if i wanted to become a catholic

    Hear this, I am not a Calvinist. I do not follow a man-made system. I believe what the Bible says and nothing else. Scripture alone is the authority, because “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in...

    if i wanted to become a catholic

    I know what you accept by what you continually defend. Your words expose your allegiance, and right now, it is not to the pure gospel of Christ alone. "You know what happens to those that ASSUME." Yes I sure do. That is exactly what Catholics do when they assume their man-made traditions carry...

    if i wanted to become a catholic

    It is nothing less than rudeness to tell me that I am full of hate and that I “say nothing and lie.” You even had the audacity to ask for my “mouth to be stopped.” Foolish person! Does the Bible not say, “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?” (Galatians 4:16). The...

    Grocery prices are not the problem

    You’re missing the point. God’s Word says plainly, “Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people” (Proverbs 14:34). You can talk economy all day long, but if a nation rejects God, it is already on the road to ruin. A country can pile up wealth, but that will not stop...

    Grocery prices are not the problem

    President Trump did ease tax burdens, but the Bible shows that our problem isn’t tax codes, it’s righteousness. Proverbs 29:2: “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice, but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” No tax code can address the sin problem. America’s hope...

    if i wanted to become a catholic

    I’m not leading anyone to be Baptist, Catholic, or anything like that. I’m leading people to the truth of Sola Scriptura. The Bible alone is the final authority, so look to it! Scripture says, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for...

    if i wanted to become a catholic

    You can claim you are more knowledgeable than me, all you have done is avoided Scripture, and repeated old Catholic adages. I do not need the Catechism to tell me what to believe when the Scripture is so plain. God’s Word is that salvation is “by grace… through faith… not of works” (Ephesians...

    if i wanted to become a catholic

    Catholicism is not the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is a gospel of man-made traditions, in direct opposition to the Bible. You can defend it all you want, but God’s Word cuts through every excuse. It preaches salvation by faith plus works, yet the Bible says: “For by grace are ye saved through...

    The missing word in today’s gospel is repentance; without it, Jesus said, you will perish (Luke 13:3).

    When exactly do you become a Christian?

    Exactly. That’s the point where things become clear. The Bible never says, “You are saved when you finally ‘figure it all out’ or when you feel a certain way.” It says, “You are saved when you repent and believe the gospel.” “He that believeth on me hath everlasting life” (John 6:47). “Believe...

    When exactly do you become a Christian?

    You become a Christian the moment you repent of your sins and believe in Jesus Christ with your whole heart. Jesus said, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). That new birth comes when you turn from your old life of sin and trust that Jesus died for your...

    Survey - Is Repentance important to salvation?

    Repentance: The Forgotten Command That Determines Eternity The missing word in today’s Gospel is repentance. When was the last time you heard someone preach repentance? If you had to guess, it’s been a long time for most of us. But flip open the Bible and you’ll find the word on every page...

    Standing… Survey… YES or NO………………?ONCE SAV-ED…SAV-ED FOREVER [OSAS)?

    False teaching of “once saved, always saved” is incorrect, since it is used as either a license to sin, or as a false comfort for those who have never been truly born again. Jesus was very clear that not everyone who says “Lord, Lord” will enter the kingdom. Only those who do the will of His...

    if i wanted to become a catholic

    Don’t. Catholicism is a false teaching. The Bible tells us that people will forsake the truth and follow the teaching of men rather than God (2 Timothy 4:3–4). When you compare Catholicism to Scripture, you will see that its core doctrines are unbiblical. It teaches salvation by faith plus...

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    You’re confusing God’s sovereign purpose with man’s responsibility to respond to that purpose. Scripture never teaches that God calls and man does not have the ability to refuse the call. The Bible is clear that God calls, but men may resist the call. That is why Jesus Himself said to the Jews...

    Does One Person’s Faith Save the Whole Family?

    Acts 16 records one of the more exciting chapters in the New Testament. This one takes place in a Philippian jail. The jailer had just concluded all his prisoners had escaped due to the earthquake. He was about to hang himself when Paul shouted, “Do thyself no harm: for we are all here” (Acts...
