    Charlie Kirk conservative speaker shot in the neck. Condition unknown for now.

    House Democrats OBJECT to a moment of prayer for Charlie Kirk. Democrats literally screamed, "NO!" I'm honestly surprised that punches were not thrown in the House Chamber. Such Evil!

    He was murdered by a left-minded person. He did not just die. Left-minded person = usually refers to the side that pushes godless policies, denies biblical truth, and celebrates sin.

    Please show me where you find proof for your statement in the bible, “The NT teaches that a person could be saved and yet be disobedient.” The New Testament never divorces salvation from obedience. “If ye love me, keep my commandments,” said Jesus (John 14:15). In Paul we read that salvation is...

    First, because God’s Word teaches all people, saved or unsaved, are under His authority. God commands “all men every where to repent” (Acts 17:30). An unsaved person is not exempt from obedience simply because they do not believe. In fact, Romans 2: 8 says, “unto them that are contentious, and...

    Without Jesus, no one is acceptable to God. The Bible says we are sinners, and our good deeds are like dirty rags (Isaiah 64:6). God says people without Christ “cannot please God” (Romans 8:8) and are “condemned already” (John 3:18). But when you believe in Jesus, God makes you clean and accepts...

    Okay, think about it this way. A child says, “I don’t believe in my parents.” Does that remove the authority of the parents? Does that make the household rules void? Does it remove the child from under their authority? No. In fact, it only increases the child’s guilt in rebellion. It is no...

    Survey - Is Repentance important to salvation?

    Scripture is very clear that sin is serious, yes sin kills. But there is also a distinction in the Bible between eternal reconciliation we have in Christ and the fellowship we walk in daily. Isaiah 59: 2 says, “your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his...

    Survey - Is Repentance important to salvation?

    The Bible never contrasts grace with repentance or confession. Grace makes confession possible because the blood of Jesus has already paid the price. John says, “And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous” (1 John 2:1). His sacrifice was once for all...

    Survey - Is Repentance important to salvation?

    No, it is not because I am not hearing you, it is because you are not saying what the bible teaches and there for I don't believe it. What you wrote overlooks a plain truth of Scripture. The Bible does not teach that fellowship with God is never broken by sin. In fact, it says the exact...

    If Satan disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14), how can we be sure we're not following someone who appears “biblical” but is ac

    That is exactly what the Bible says will happen when false teachers enter the picture. “God is not the author of confusion” (1 Corinthians 14:33). Confusion is the result when many teach what God did not say. Scripture even warns “There shall be false teachers among you” that “privily shall...

    When exactly do you become a Christian?

    You asked why, if being born again defines a Christian, the apostles were not called “Christians” for years. Scripture is clear that new birth, not a label, is what makes someone belong to God. Jesus said, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). Those who...

    President Trump calls out Democrats who are setting loose dangerous savages on our streets. He called out city leaders in Charlotte who defended a monster who killed a young lady on a train.

    Can any of you link or share a good argument against FULL preterism?

    Let me direct you to some passages that will explode full preterism and keep your feet on the ground of truth. These are the passages that teach us that, while part of prophecy is fulfilled, there is still a great deal that has not been fulfilled yet and is still to be looked for at the return...

    When exactly do you become a Christian?

    The Bible actually answers Ernie’s question very plainly. A Christian is not someone with a label, an opinion, or based on how the word developed over church history. A Christian is someone who has been born again by faith in Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see...

    Yes, everyone is required to obey God. That is why the Bible says, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). This is true for every man, woman, and child, both saved and unsaved. They are all under God's law, and for that reason they are all guilty in His sight...

    Survey - Is Repentance important to salvation?

    Fellowship with God is not about if I feel something or sense something in my heart, it is about if I am walking in the light of His Word. The Bible says, “If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth” (1 John 1:6). That means fellowship is...

    Survey - Is Repentance important to salvation?

    No, you are obscuring what Scripture makes abundantly clear. Paul was not teaching we should look the other way when it comes to sin or that confession is somehow not needed. He was simply saying he was not living under man’s judgment or even resting in his own evaluation of himself. He knew...

    Survey - Is Repentance important to salvation?

    You’re missing the distinction Scripture makes between relationship and fellowship. David was still the child of God when he sinned, but he didn’t fellowship with God until he confessed his sin and experienced misery as a result. That principle is still in place. You quoted 2 Peter 1:3–4 but do...

    Survey - Is Repentance important to salvation?

    This is a really good question and gets to the heart of what the Bible says. I am not saying that all of my sins are always apparent to me, but I do know this: the Holy Spirit will put it on my heart, He is not shy about convicting me. Jesus said the Spirit “will reprove the world of sin, and of...
