    God Does Not Live in Your Church Building

    Trevor, you are answering an argument I did not make. I never said believers should forsake assembling together. Hebrews 10:23–25 is Scripture, and I fully affirm it. Christians are not called to be isolated. We are to exhort one another, provoke one another unto love and good works, and not...

    Which major Christian church in the U.S. is closest to the truth?

    You are changing the issue. I did not say every act of Christ’s ministry was completed at the cross. I said His sacrifice for sin was finished at the cross. That is exactly what Scripture says. Jesus said, “It is finished” ~John 19:30. Hebrews says, “By his own blood he entered in once into...

    How Confidant Are You Being Saved?

    The problem is that “mortal sin” is not the way the Bible explains salvation. That is a category people bring to the Bible. It is not what the Bible plainly teaches. Yes, sin is serious. Nobody is denying that. “The wages of sin is death” ~Romans 6:23. A real believer should never play games...

    How Confidant Are You Being Saved?

    No, not if the person has truly passed from death unto life. Jesus did not leave that open. He said, “He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life” ~John 5:24. That is not temporary...

    How Confidant Are You Being Saved?

    Yes, believers have salvation here and now, because Scripture says so plainly. Jesus said, “He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life” ~John 5:24. That is present possession, not...

    How Confidant Are You Being Saved?

    You are still confusing the fruit of salvation with the ground of justification. No one is denying that Christians watch, pray, suffer, endure, obey, bear fruit, and follow Christ. The issue is whether those things justify us before God or preserve our justification. Scripture says no. Matthew...

    How Confidant Are You Being Saved?

    That is a false choice. Christians are required to follow Christ, practice righteousness, walk in love, and obey His Word. No one here is denying that. Jesus said, “If ye love me, keep my commandments” ~John 14:15. John also said, “He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is...

    Steven Spielberg’s new movie Disclosure Day

    Did you even read the original post? I am not promoting the movie, telling Christians to watch it, or defending Steven Spielberg. That is not what the post said. The point is that people are already watching it, talking about it, and searching for information about it. So I used that open door...

    Steven Spielberg’s new movie Disclosure Day

    Part 2: The Bible Does Not Say UFOs Are Demons This must be said plainly. The Bible does not identify modern UFOs or UAPs as extraterrestrials, angels, demons, secret aircraft, or beings from another dimension. Anyone who says, “The Bible proves UFOs are demons,” is claiming more than...

    Steven Spielberg’s new movie Disclosure Day

    What If the UFO Is Real, but the Story Is a Lie? After posting Steven Spielberg’s new movie Disclosure Day, I decided to do more research on the topic to see how it might be seen through the lens of the Bible. This is what I came up with. Disclaimer: This article includes speculation and...

    Should Nations Help the Sick and Poor?

    You call certain policy changes under Trump anti-Christ and claim they have already cost hundreds of thousands of lives with millions more to come. Those are heavy accusations. The term “antichrist” in 1 John is reserved for those who deny that Jesus is the Christ and who oppose the Father and...

    Should Nations Help the Sick and Poor?

    That last sentence is not an argument. It is a false accusation. You do not know what lforrest gives, whom he helps, or whether he cares for his neighbor. Yet you judged his heart and condemned his character because he disagreed with your politics. Scripture calls that evil speaking. “Speak...

    Should Nations Help the Sick and Poor?

    “The people are the government” may sound good in a civics class, but it is not an answer from Scripture. You have taken two different things, personal charity and government force, and blended them together as though changing the name changes the act. When a man gives to the poor, he answers...

    Should Nations Help the Sick and Poor?

    You are taking a real biblical command to care for the poor and using it to push a political system the Bible never teaches. No Christian should ignore the sick, the poor, the widow, the orphan, or the stranger. Scripture condemns greed, oppression, dishonest gain, and hardheartedness. But that...

    How Confidant Are You Being Saved?

    Calling Scripture a diversion does not answer Scripture. Romans 4:5 directly addresses your claim that final salvation depends upon “keeping our end of the conditional promise.” Paul says God justifies “him that worketh not, but believeth.” You answer by insisting that man must maintain his...

    Steven Spielberg’s new movie Disclosure Day

    The Truth Is Out There, but You May Not Want It Steven Spielberg’s new movie Disclosure Day has people sitting in theaters right now wondering what the government really knows and whether the biggest truths about our existence have been locked away from us for decades. Everyone says they want...

    How Confidant Are You Being Saved?

    You have changed the label, not the doctrine. “Keeping our end of the agreement” is still human performance. If Christ does His part, but final salvation depends upon whether you successfully do yours, then Christ is not the Savior. He is merely a partner in your salvation. Paul shuts that door...

    How Confidant Are You Being Saved?

    That is not an answer. It is a smoke screen thrown up because Romans 4:5 stands there like a hammer and you cannot break it. Quote the words of Christ that contradict Paul. You cannot. Jesus said the believer “hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation” ~John 5:24. Paul said...

    How Confidant Are You Being Saved?

    That question is a dishonest diversion. No, Paul is not my Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ is. But the words of Paul are inspired Scripture, and you do not honor Christ by pitting His words against the apostle He appointed. Peter called Paul’s writings “scriptures” and warned that the unstable...
