    No Exceptions: Jesus Was Talking to You

    You did not answer my question to you: Are you a Jehovah’s Witness?

    No Exceptions: Jesus Was Talking to You

    I don’t need a false teacher from a cult that denies the deity of Jesus Christ and rewrites the Bible to fit their doctrine to tell me how I should act or respond. You're right, I’m absolutely not open to anything that contradicts the Word of God, because I stand on the truth of Scripture alone...

    "If sinners be dammed, at least let them leap to Hell over our bodies. If they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees. Let no one go there unwarned and unprayed for." ~ Charles Spurgeon

    What would you do if …

    If a pastor or leader is teaching heresy, others should be warned as soon as it becomes clear that what is being taught directly contradicts the truth of Scripture and the person refuses to repent after being confronted. Romans 16:17 says, “Mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary...

    What would you do if …

    If a pastor began to teach heresy, teaching something that clearly contradicts the Word of God, it must be addressed. Scripture gives us instruction on this. Paul tells Timothy, “Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear” (1 Timothy 5:20). When false doctrine is taught publicly...

    What would you do if …

    If a pastor began to teach heresy, anything that contradicts the clear truth of Scripture, I would confront it directly and call it out. There are way too many Preachers that are teaching false doctrine today and not standing up for the truths of the Bible. The Bible commands us to “test...

    I love this for Easter—it makes me think of how Jesus must feel when false teachers keep spreading their lies in His name, betraying Him all over again like Judas did. Petra - Judas' Kiss

    I draw the line when false teachers try to deceive others and contaminate my threads with false doctrine. Are you a Jehovah’s Witness? If so, that explains the direction of your questions. Let me be clear, JW doctrine is false, and it denies the true identity of Jesus Christ as fully God, which...

    I appreciate your interest in digging deep into these topics, but these questions really have nothing to do with the original point of my post. If you're genuinely looking for discussion on the 144,000, the great multitude, or distinctions between groups in Revelation, I’m sure you’ll get plenty...

    Yes, there absolutely is a “big picture” that runs from Genesis to Revelation, and it centers on God’s plan to redeem a people for Himself through Jesus Christ. In Genesis, we see the creation of a perfect world and the introduction of sin through man’s rebellion. That sin brought separation...

    No Exceptions: Jesus Was Talking to You

    Yes, this was absolutely the experience of the first-century Christians. When someone truly repents and believes in Jesus Christ, they are born again and adopted into God’s family. Romans 8:15–16 explains it clearly: “You have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, ‘Abba...

    No Exceptions: Jesus Was Talking to You

    That’s an important observation, and it’s true, not everyone who claims to be “born again” truly is. Jesus Himself warned that many would say to Him, “Lord, Lord,” but would be rejected because they did not actually do the will of the Father (Matthew 7:21–23). Being born again is not just a...

    No Exceptions: Jesus Was Talking to You

    You draw the line by measuring everything against God’s Word, not personal sincerity or emotion. Many people are sincere, but they can be sincerely wrong. The Bible is the final authority for truth (John 17:17), and Jesus said clearly, “If you abide in My word, you are truly My disciples” (John...

    The Greatest Lie Ever Told: You’re Fine Just as You Are

    Yes, God still loves us, even when we are lost, broken, and unable to change ourselves. That’s the very heart of the gospel. “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). God’s love is not based on our worthiness or ability...

    The Greatest Lie Ever Told: You’re Fine Just as You Are

    That’s a great question, and the answer is clear in Scripture: God is the one who changes us, but we must respond in faith and obedience. We are not fine the way we are because all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Our natural condition is one of rebellion and...

    Not so Easy Believism

    So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple. ~ Luke 14:33 Wow. I read this passage again today as I continue through the New Testament this year, and it hit me differently. I realize I’ve read it before, but it hadn’t truly sunk in. I think sometimes...

    Infant Baptism is not given in scripture.

    I agree. The claim that someone is not saved or not part of the body of Christ unless they have been immersed in water is not supported by Scripture. Salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not by the act of water baptism. The Bible clearly teaches that it is belief in Christ that...

    Infant Baptism is not given in scripture.

    While it’s true that we are to seek the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength (Deuteronomy 6:5; Matthew 22:37), we must also test every experience against the Word of God. Feelings and supernatural encounters can be deceptive. The Bible warns in 2 Corinthians 11:14 that "Satan...

    The Greatest Lie Ever Told: You’re Fine Just as You Are

    Yes, according to the Bible, everyone who is truly born again has been baptized by the Holy Spirit. The moment someone genuinely repents and believes in the Lord Jesus Christ, they are indwelt and sealed by the Holy Spirit. Paul says clearly in 1 Corinthians 12:13, "For in one Spirit we were all...
