Yep. One of the many signs that we are in the last days.

A crisis like this always causes the doom merchants to come out of the woodwork.

The whole point of self-isolation is to stop the virus from spreading and to save lives. The reason why there are 700 deaths from the virus per day in the USA, it is because people are refusing to self-isolate and are catching the virus and passing it on to others. Therefore the spread is out...

Well, if you don't know, as an agnostic, whether there is such a thing as reality, then how do you know that the world you live in is actually real?

Yes. Repentance and forsaking of the works of the flesh, and conducting ourselves according to the fruit of the Spirit.

I agree. The good works that we do as Christians are the good works that God has ordained for us to do. They are not the works that some believe are prerequisite for salvation.

If evolution is true, then we don't have any evidence that we actually exist, and are not just the figment of our own chaotic imagination brought about by sheer chance. A logical mind has to be designed that way by a designer. Without a designer, there is no such thing as logic. So someone...

Because that is what we all deserve, and will be found guilty in the judgment. It will be like being sentenced for a whole number of speeding offences and being sentenced to pay thousands of dollars in fines. We can't say that we have kept to the speeding limit at other times, because that...

There is a simpler answer: Would we jump out of an airplane without wearing a parachute and flapping our arms to save ourselves? That is what depending on our own good works is to try and stop us plunging down into the pit of hell.

The truth is that we will not be judged on our good works at the Judgment. We will be judged according to our failure to keep the Ten Commandments, which are not the Mosaic Law but God's moral law written in His own handwriting on the tablets of stone. We can do all the good works in the...

In many churches they have a morning tea after the Sunday service. If the last supper was held today, it might not have been bread and wine, it might have been muffins and coffee. Wine as the normal drink in the First Century in the same way as tea and coffee are today. I don't think that I...

If Satan had sex with Eve, which is an impossibility because Angels don't have sex with humans, then sin didn't enter the world with Adam, therefore there is no gospel of Christ, and you are still dead in your sins and will be lost in eternity.

If Genesis 1 is not the straightforward written account of what actually happened with Adam and Eve who disobeyed God and caused the Fall, then the rest of the Bible is meaningless, and there is no Jesus, no cross, and no salvation. Therefore you have no hope when you die.

It looks like a satire on odd job businesses. We had rubbish to be removed from our church and we called up an outfit called "Junk to Go", and it was an old guy and his son and a very large truck. They certainly did a good job of it.

I had a good, close read of your article and enjoyed it immensely. You certainly have gone very deeply into the things you have set forth here. You have certainly done a comprehensive survey of the different interpretations of Scripture, the origins of many beliefs and practices, and shown...

There are two different meanings of the word "respect" here. I am not sure that you are making these two different meanings clear in your text. When God says that He is no respecter of persons, it means that he treats all people the same and does not have favourites. The other meaning of...

Yes. Very true. When I am speaking to an unsaved person, I will tell them that it is because Jesus, through His finished work on the Cross has taken upon Himself the penalty for our sins, so that when we come before the Judge on judgment day, and found guilty because we have sinned, Jesus will...

Yep. That is an important part of it. So what has that accomplished in view of yours and my sins?

Yes, in general, but what was the central truth about why Jesus died on the cross?

That is true, but a convicted criminal in front of a judge can be repentful but the judge has to uphold the law and sentence him to prison, otherwise he would not be dispensing justice. He may be a very forgiving and compassionate person but he would be fired from the Bench if he just let...
