You’ve hit the nail on the head in a way that just goes to the heart of the tension in Romans 9, and you’re right to challenge that point. If the bottom line of salvation is God’s sovereign mercy, and not our will, effort, lineage, or background, then why should Paul (or anyone else for that...

You are just full of yourself and trying to act like you know the truth. You sound like a mystic and are just trying to impress. What you say is just made up and has nothing to do with the biblical truth. What you say is not revelation. Stop trying to impress people and open the Bible.

“What is your life? It is a vapor.” — James 4:14

For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” ~ Romans 9:15 You don’t want to hear this. Most people in this society don’t want to hear this. But the Bible says it: not all who call themselves God’s children are His...

No, you’re not pointing to the Jesus of the Bible, you’re pointing to a false light. You talk about joy and peace and love, but if they are not built on the truth of God’s Word, then it’s all a spiritual mirage. Did you know that “Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light”? (2...

You’re pouring out energy to show how wonderful your made up Jesus is, but is it the Jesus of the Bible? Truth is not something you earn by effort or sincerity. Truth is something that has already been revealed. And it’s been revealed in one place: the Word of God. “Sanctify them through thy...

If you say Jesus is your Master, then listen to what He plainly said in His Word. Quit using word puzzles and mystical language that may sound spiritual, but means nothing. God is not the author of confusion (1 Corinthians 14: 33). You say I use “my own words,” but every word I have just used...

You talk about your “Master.” I’d like to ask you a question. Is your master the Jesus of the Bible? Or have you created your own? Well anyone can see you have created your own. The Jesus of the Bible talked a lot about hell. Hell as a place of eternal, conscious torment. (Luke 16: 23–24, Mark...

You’re not shining light, you’re casting delusion. Jesus wasn’t speaking metaphorically about a trash fire when He spoke of Gehenna, He was warning people about a literal place of eternal judgment. “fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matt 10:28). “their worm dieth...

You say we worship a “Master” of love, freedom, and refinement, but that’s not the God of the Bible. That’s a god of your own invention, contorted to your image rather than revealed by Scripture. The God of the Bible is love (1 John 4: 8), yes, but He is also holy, just, and a consuming fire...

… Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. ~ Romans 8:9 You’ve probably heard it said a million times: you can be a Christian just by being a “good person” or believing in God the way most people in your culture believe in God. But if we’re honest with each other...

"As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him." ~ Psalm 18:30

You tell people you’re a student of the Word, but what you’re really promoting isn’t the Word of God, it’s your own imagination. Jesus did use the word Gehenna in Matthew 10: 28, and He defined it as a place where God destroys both soul and body, not just physical remains. That’s not metaphor...

For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. ~ Romans 7:19 Ever look in the mirror and ask yourself, “Why did I do that again?” Well, guess what? There’s a war going on in every believer, and it’s nasty. You want to do the right thing. You really, truly...

"If Jesus had preached the same message that ministers preach today, He would never have been crucified." ~ Leonard Ravenhill

The claim that hell is a “doctrine of demons” flies in the face of Scripture. Jesus Himself taught on hell clearly and repeatedly. He said, “Fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matt. 10:28). He described a rich man “being in torment in hell fire” after his death (Luke...

You ask: “Is the gospel preached from most pulpits really a choice?” I’m sorry to say that much of what is preached in pulpits today is not the gospel at all. But if you’re asking about the true, biblical gospel (the good news of our salvation through Jesus Christ), then, yes, it is a choice...

You are absolutely right in that we all work with unsaved people. I worked with men and women from all sorts of backgrounds, beliefs, and lifestyles before I retired. Some of them I thought were great people…and I still do. It’s not that I didn’t like them. I liked them a lot. Cared about them...

It shouldn’t even be considered, period. Symbolic deification is idolatry, and God hates it. He said, “I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another” (Isaiah 42:8). Saying Ozzy Osbourne is the “god of rock” or that the Pharisees were some sort of symbolic “gods” isn’t...

What if everything you thought about earning God’s approval was upside down? What if trying to be “good enough” actually moved you further from the truth, not closer? That’s exactly what Romans 4:1–12 reveals. It doesn’t matter how religious you are, how many rituals you’ve done, or how morally...
