    Not by works - but by faith

    The Bible is our title deed. The Scripture says that faith comes by hearing the Word of God, and that without faith it is impossible to please God. It is written Word that tells us about Jesus and what He did for us on Calvary. Without the written Word we wouldn't know about Him, just as I...

    Do you belong to "the [true] Church" (1 Tim 3:15)?, if so, how do you prove it?

    The bottom line is that we are all going to die. It is an appointment we all have to keep. Then another appointment we have to keep is the judgment. We are not going to be judged on our theology, whether we are creationists or evolutionists. When we stand before the great white throne of...

    Not by works - but by faith

    There is some truth in what you are saying. Through the Bible we have the salvation promises of God as our "title deed". It was the same when I bought my new home in Christchurch last December. I paid the price and had to wait for four weeks until the possession date. I had the title deed...

    Romans 7 and 8 without confusing verses

    It results from a flawed gospel that does not start with the Ten Commandments to show the unsaved person the extent of his or her sinfulness. This causes many converts, especially in the Pentecostal and Charismatic movements, to "accept Jesus in their hearts" without knowing that they are...

    THE AGE OF MAN IS OVER ONE MILLION YEARS

    You guys are in a better state than those poor blighters in New York!

    Heresy within Christianity

    :p I will come clean: You saw my post about the preacher who asked the woman who didn't believe in a literal Adam and Eve, why Jesus came and died on the cross, and she answered, "To take away our rebellion". Well, there is the rest of the story: The preacher asked her, "And where did your...

    Heresy within Christianity

    I heard of Ken Ham asking a woman who didn't believe in a literal Adam and Eve why Jesus died on the cross. She said that it was for our rebellion against God. I won't mention the next question the preacher asked the woman, because I don't want to influence my other friend's answer. I...

    Are Protestants "saved? "

    The really scary thing is that many Evangelicals are being sucked in and jumping into religious bed with the RCC.

    I wasn't going to judge your belief at all! I was just going to follow it up with another question. :-) I'm a nice guy, children and dogs trust me!

    Men, Can you Tell If Other Men Are Good-Looking?

    My daughter's 30 something friend shaved off his beard last week and got a haircut, and I wouldn't have recognised him on the street!

    Heresy within Christianity

    But it was the pre-incarnate Jesus who spoke to Abraham, because the Father is an invisible Spirit not seen by any man. In fact, every appearance and involvement of God in the Old Testament is the pre-incarnate Jesus. Didn't you know that? The same I AM who spoke to Moses, was the same I AM...

    Heresy within Christianity

    I know why Jesus died on the cross, but I wanted to get your answer, but it seems that you want to avoid answering. Why are you reluctant to commit yourself to a definite personal answer?

    Men, Can you Tell If Other Men Are Good-Looking?

    I look in the mirror these days and have distant memories about when I was once good looking. Someone took a picture of me beside my 28 year old daughter, and when I saw it I initially wondered who the old guy was!!

    Baptism And The holy Spirit ???

    Philip baptised the Ethiopian Eunuch. He didn't have to wait until one of the Apostles to come and do it. The commission of Jesus is to all believers to preach the gospel to every creature and to baptise in the name of Jesus. He did not say that believers should preach the gospel and then get...

    The Great Deception

    From out of the heart, the mouth speaks! :) When I worked for the Family Court as a Court Registrar, I accompanied the judge to the local mental health facility to engage in hearings about whether patients are well enough to be set free. We did encounter a guy who thought he was Jesus Christ...

    Heresy within Christianity

    So you are saying that the God of Christians, present day Jews, and Muslims as the same God? The problem is the Jews and Muslims do not believe that Jesus is God, or that He died on the cross for the sins of the world. So, in the light of that, tell me how they can worship the same God?

    Heresy within Christianity

    Does this mean that you are a religious humanist? Why did Christ come and die on the cross?

    Heresy within Christianity

    Both of them refuse to include a Creator who brought the universe into being and set up the world and anything in it. So I don't care how qualified and intelligent they are, they can add nothing to my foundation, because they are on an atheistic foundation in their world view.

    Are You Free From The Law?

    So you believe child pornography is wrong... How do you know it is wrong? And what is your basis for believing it is wrong?

    Heresy within Christianity

    Not all evangelical Christians believe the Bible as literal fact. It is true that many evangelicals are embracing the Pope and Islam as worshiping the same God as "our brothers in the faith". How do we know that this fellow is not one of them?
