    How Should Christians Respond in an Age of Rage?

    I don’t know where you got your thoughts that I said the things you are saying. I never said murder cannot be forgiven. I said, “also praying that this man might repent and hear the gospel in prison before he faces God’s ultimate justice.” Means I believe even a murderer can be forgiven if he...

    How Should Christians Respond in an Age of Rage?

    I hear your heart in this and I know you want to respond in a Christ-like way. But I don’t think the Bible calls us to feel sorry for a man who murders another person in cold blood. God is very clear that murderers are to be held responsible for their sins. Genesis 9: 6 says, “Whoso sheddeth...

    How Should Christians Respond in an Age of Rage?

    I think you gave some good advice here, especially about staying calm in a dangerous situation. That makes a huge difference. I also agree with you that as Christians, we’re told to protect our families. Scripture says if a man doesn’t provide for his household, he’s worse than an unbeliever (1...

    Your reference to the “latter end” being worse is a very good point from 2 Peter 2:20–21, “For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than...

    How Should Christians Respond in an Age of Rage?

    We are in an age of rage. Rage is the norm, and it’s on display across society. News media. Social media. Politics. Anger toward a person like Charlie Kirk is not merely a matter of opinion or disagreement, it tells us something important about their heart. Jesus said it in John 8:44: “You are...

    Proverbs 28: 1: “The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.” It is good to see criminals punished (Romans 13:3–4 says governments are instituted by God to punish evildoers), but a system which gives governments or elites complete access to every person’s DNA goes...

    Why Forgiveness Matters in a World Consumed by Rage and Hate

    Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses. ~ Proverbs 10:12 We live in the age of rage. Rage is the default setting of our society. Turn on the news and you will see it. Scroll through social media and you will feel it. Anger is the anthem of our generation. From the streets to the...

    Breaking Free From Fake Religion

    2 Peter 2: 20 does not teach that true believers can fall from salvation, but that false teachers and their deceived followers can seem to escape corruption outwardly, while never having been born again. Peter makes it crystal clear in the verses before and after. He says in verse 19 that these...

    Breaking Free From Fake Religion

    I agree that the Galatians “fell away,” but Paul is clear on what they fell away from, attempting to put law-keeping on top of the gospel. In fact, Paul accuses them of being foolish in that regard: “Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?” (Galatians...

    Breaking Free From Fake Religion

    You say nothing I cite says “faith alone,” but that’s exactly what the Word of God declares. Paul couldn’t be clearer: Romans 3: 28 – “Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.” Galatians 2: 16 – “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of...

    Breaking Free From Fake Religion

    Yes, that works perfectly. The description, “La madre de mentiras y muerte, la reina de los diablos” (“The mother of lies and death, the queen of the devils”) accurately fits the RCC from a biblical perspective. Jesus called Satan a liar and the father of it. “For he is a liar, and the father...

    No wonder they can't see; they have placed their trust in man rather than in God. I understand now. I did not know they were RCC. Blinded by the prince of darkness. May God, please open their eyes to the truth before it is too late.

    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...

    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”...
