    Can the Bible contain mistakes?

    Scripture provides none of the categories you are using. The Bible never divides God’s people into “traditional,” “Orthodox,” “Catholic,” or “Protestant.” Those labels come from man, not from God. The only division God recognizes is this: those who belong to Christ and those who do not. Jesus...

    Can the Bible contain mistakes?

    Scripture is very clear on this topic. God never made anyone evil. “God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good” ~Genesis 1:31. Evil did not originate from God. Evil entered the world when mankind chose to rebel. “Through one man sin entered the world, and death through...

    Can the Bible contain mistakes?

    You keep accusing me of distorting you, but you have not answered a single verse I gave. Scripture, not emotion, not accusations, is the standard. “Let God be true but every man a liar” ~Romans 3:4. So let’s measure your claims by the Word. First, you say translation variations mean doctrines...

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    You are not answering the verses. You are attacking the person. That is the clearest sign that your position has no biblical foundation. Scripture commands believers to judge teaching by the Word, not by accusations or labels. “To the law and to the testimony. If they do not speak according to...

    Can the Bible contain mistakes?

    Your argument contradicts Scripture’s testimony about itself. The Bible never teaches the prophets were presenting “inaccurate viewpoints.” It teaches the opposite. “All Scripture is God breathed” ~2 Timothy 3:16. This means the words they wrote did not come from human opinion. They came from...

    Can the Bible contain mistakes?

    You are not speaking with the voice of Scripture. You are speaking against it. When you claim the Bible is “man made,” you are denying what God Himself has said about His own Word. That is not a small error. That is rejecting the very foundation of truth. Scripture does not call itself a human...

    People in Hell are happy

    I’m not going to entertain the false teachings in this post. When people start creating their own version of God, that is nothing new. Scripture calls it idolatry. Anyone who reshapes God into what they prefer has already turned from the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and is following the god...

    Can the Bible contain mistakes?

    You’re building your entire argument on ideas the Bible never teaches. Let’s call them what they are. Error 1: Treating God’s Word like a human document. You talk about the Bible being “99 percent accurate” as if God makes technical errors. Scripture does not speak that way. “All Scripture is...

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    What you are saying is not biblical. When you frame clear Scripture as “dogmatic religion,” you are not correcting me, you are resisting what God already spoke. The Word of God is not divided against itself. Jesus never taught truth that contradicts the rest of Scripture, and He never told...

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    You’re mixing what God completed with what man does. Jesus didn’t give parables to take the place of doctrine, He used them to teach it. Every story revealed truth about the kingdom. The Bible never divides people by class or opportunity. God “shows no partiality” ~Romans 2:11. Both rich and...

    Faith That Walks When the Road Isn’t Paved

    Faith is not lying to yourself that everything is alright when it’s not. Faith is standing up when everything in you is telling you to sit down. Hebrews 11 starts with a definition that shatters the world’s version of confidence: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of...

    Faith isn’t proven when the road is smooth, it’s proven when you keep walking after the road...

    Faith isn’t proven when the road is smooth, it’s proven when you keep walking after the road disappears.

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    Doctrine is not the property of the well-to-do or well-educated, it is the life-giving truth that goes to anyone who believes. “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” ~Matthew 4:4. The word of God sustains the poor and the rich, the weak and the...

    Playing with Fire: The Cost of Willful Sin

    This is exactly the same pattern you’ve used in other threads, and it needs to be called out plainly. You keep interrupting discussions by twisting the passage away from what God actually says. Hebrews 10 is not about temple rituals and it is not about “losing salvation over one sin.” That is a...

    Playing with Fire: The Cost of Willful Sin

    When the verse in Hebrews 10 speaks of “after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins,” it is not talking about someone who is born again. The Bible never says that knowing the truth is equivalent to being saved. Jesus said a man can hear His words...

    Playing with Fire: The Cost of Willful Sin

    You’ve set up a strawman there, and Scripture demolishes it. Hebrews 10 is not speaking about a believer who sins and repents. It is speaking about a person who knows the truth and then rejects Christ Himself. The passage tells us what sin it is in verse 29. It is trampling the Son of God...

    Playing with Fire: The Cost of Willful Sin

    You are twisting Hebrews 10 in a way Scripture never supports. The passage does not warn about going back to animal sacrifices. It warns about rejecting Christ Himself. That is why verse 29 says the person has trampled the Son of God, counted His blood as common, and insulted the Spirit of...

    Playing with Fire: The Cost of Willful Sin

    Hebrews 12 is true, but it does not nullify or mitigate what God says in Hebrews 10. Scripture teaches that chastening is for God’s children when they falter and respond to His discipline, but the warning in Hebrews 10 is for those who know the truth and continue in sin. God disciplines sons...

    Playing with Fire: The Cost of Willful Sin

    Scripture does not say this as a warning against church-shopping, but as a warning to the heart. Hebrews 10 is warning against the danger of knowing the truth and then willfully choosing sin anyway. God plainly says that after receiving the knowledge of the truth that willful sin will leave “a...
