This proves that Jesus is God: "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6). This is a Messianic prophecy...

Paul says that we are saved by God's mercy and grace through faith in the finished work of Christ. James says that if our faith in Christ is genuine, we demonstrate it through forsaking the works of the flesh and walking in the Spirit. This means that faith in Christ produces salvation and the...

True. We hate sin and it is the fear of God that we work to keep our bodies our slave instead of our master. As we become stronger at it, we are progressing in our sanctification. We inwardly groan that we can't be as perfect as we want to be in our hearts, but we don't give up, and through...

I have distanced myself from the debate about the body and blood of Christ in the Eucharist because Jesus did say that we need to eat His body and drink His blood, so I am not treating transubstantiation as something that would keep a person out of the kingdom of God. I did say that Queen Mary...

The issue is that as the Church developed after the Fourth Century, and as Latin died out as a common language except for those in the hierarchy of the Church, and because of the invasion of heresies into the Church, and Constantine's pagan influences on the Church, new doctrines were being...

I think that worshiping a pagan Queen of Heaven and bowing down to her statue is the ultimate in foolishness. The three men who refused to bow down to Nebuchadnezzar's image and went through the fiery furnace would agree with me.

I know that Jesus paid the penalty for my sin, so I am confident about it.

The Scripture doesn't say. It says just that Jesus had brothers and sisters. But I think you are avoiding the truth that the Mary who is worshiped is a figment of the imagination dreamed up by an extreme devotion to her, which gradually transformed the real Mary, who is dead in the grave, to a...

Google "Worship of Mary" and you will see hundreds of images of people kneeling and worshiping statues of Mary. The evidence is right before your eyes. A statue is a graven image, and God said very clearly that we are not to make graven images, bow down and worship them, otherwise those who do...

It seems that you are not accepting Genesis 1-3 as literal - that God formed Adam as a human being with a physical body from the dust of the ground, and formed Eve's physical body from Adam's rib. It is also obvious that Adam and Eve were clothed with animal skins. If Genesis 1-3 is not...

The confusion comes from a faulty perception of what the new birth is all about. Jesus taught that our righteousness has to exceed that of the Pharisees. The Pharisees were ultra-strict in their obedience to the Mosaic Law, and were seen as totally blameless. One could not fault the devotion...

Yes. The Scripture certainly indicates that the man of perdition is going to be a real person. I go along with John MacArthur's teaching on it, and out of all the Bible teachers concerning the end times, I think he is the best - and that is after 50 years of listening to all kinds of End-Time...

Yes. Speaking to the dead is the same as praying to a demonic impostor posing as Mary Queen of Heaven.

The final proof will be when we all die and stand as individuals alone before God's judgment throne.

Here is the truth: Mary did not remain a virgin after Jesus was born. She had other male and female children. She received Jesus as Saviour like everyone else. She got filled with the Spirit on the day of Pentecost and praised God in tongues along with the others. She did not magically restore...

It is not a hatred of Catholics at all. And it is not about how Catholics behave. The only acidic, acrimonious ones, are the one or two I have experienced on the forum. The ones I know personally are decent people who have never done me any harm. No. What I am opposed to is the idolatrous...

One day when you stand before God on the day of judgment you will know the truth and you won't be able to explain it away then.

So the picture of Pope Francis bowing to and worshiping an idol was a lie?

Correct. They are more than just wrong. They are hypocrites.

John says that the spirit of AntiChrist is already in the world (1 John 2:18; 4:3).
