    Heresy within Christianity

    Maybe your reluctance to believe for certain that Adam and Eve really existed and that sin entered the world because of their disobedience, has come from non-Biblical teaching in your church. If your church teachers have taught evolution as a way that God created the world, then that teaching...

    Church Defied Coronavirus Order

    That pastor should be arrested and locked up for breaking the law and putting his congregation at risk from the virus. If someone in his church contracts the virus and then infects someone outside of his church, that outside person would have grounds for litigation against that pastor for...

    Why do we need priests?

    Maybe he doesn't believe in fairy stories.

    Why do we need priests?

    During the reign of the English Roman Catholic queen Mary, you would have been burned at the stake for saying that! Aren't you relieved that the Roman Catholic church is not dominant over the laws in your country?

    Why do we need priests?

    280 people were burned at the stake during the reign of Bloody Mary, Roman Catholic queen of English, for merely asking the same question!

    Do we believe God's promises?

    The decision which decides heaven or hell is whether one believes God's Word or man's word concerning which world view they adopt.

    Heresy within Christianity

    Man was originally created in the image of God. But when He and Eve ate of the forbidden tree, thereby rebelling against God, they brought sin into the world, and through that sin, total corruption happened, and the world became a totally different place. It was no longer the perfect creation...

    This is a video presentation by Dr. Georgia Purdom, a leading authority in the science of genetics:

    Regeneration before or after saving faith

    True. The verse says that we are saved...through faith, not because of it. We are saved through our acceptance and personal commitment to the finished work of Christ on Calvary.

    Regeneration before or after saving faith

    But the Holy Spirit says through James that if you don't ask, you won't receive. And the Holy Spirit said through Paul, "Be not anxious for anything but by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God" (Philippians 4:6-7). Also it is the same Holy Spirit who said...

    Regeneration before or after saving faith

    The Scripture: "By grace are we saved through faith, not of ourselves, but it is the gift of God; not of works lest any should boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9). This verse is totally consistent with the other two. "By grace are we saved". This is the drawing of the Father, the invitation to receive...

    Regeneration before or after saving faith

    Put the verses together and we get the drawing of the Father and the positive response from the person toward Christ.

    The Great Deception

    "With every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie in order that judgment will come upon all who have disbelieved the...

    Regeneration before or after saving faith

    Nobody is perfect. We all have our faults and shortcomings. Apart from the absolute essentials of the gospel which are very clearly stated, there are many differences of opinion depending on how the Bible is read. That's quite normal. No one person is absolutely right and everyone else is...

    Regeneration before or after saving faith

    It is interesting to learn that only one heretic was burned at the stake during Calvin's lifetime, and that for a definite heresy that was undermining the basic principles of Reformed Christianity of the time. I think there were many who disagreed with Calvin during his lifetime, and he would...

    Regeneration before or after saving faith

    Yes. We must understand that in those times it was a capital offence in law to deny the existence of God or to teach heresy. Calvin was not the magistrate who sentenced Servetus. He was convicted of a capital offence according to the law, and the legal method of execution for heretics was...

    Are Protestants "saved? "

    It wasn't his feet I was talking about! Need I say more? :p

    THE AGE OF MAN IS OVER ONE MILLION YEARS

    It is very interesting that a scientific investigation was done and the result placed man first appearing 6000 years ago. This was done by a secular scientist and it really upset the evolutionist community. So they came up with explanations that tried to discount the results; such explanations...

    Why do the self taught preach an incomplete gospel?

    It's interesting how people switch their logical brains off when they become involved in church issues. The reason why training of the clergy came into being was because of the serious invasion of heresy into the church, and it was important to have ministers trained in sound Biblical...

    Heresy within Christianity

    The truth is that if there was no literal Adam and Eve, no talking snake in the garden, no tree of the knowledge of good and evil, no eating of the fruit of that tree, and no expulsion of Adam and Eve from the garden, then there is no sin in the world, and that the world came into being with...
