Now, that is funny!!! :p

A few actual Scripture quotes wouldn't go amiss here, then it won't appear that you are rewriting the book of Matthew to suit your personal opinion.

It amazes me that you don't know what the gospel of Christ is all about. Read the book of Romans. Paul is quite clear in what he says. There is no hidden message in it. He says that the mystery that has been hidden in ages past has now been fully revealed in the gospel of Christ. Romans...

If we examine the Bible carefully, we know when Jesus was born, because it was at the same time Augustus Caesar imposed a census on the Roman Empire, and Joseph and Mary travelled to Bethlehem where Jesus was born. We can calculate that date to within a year or two, by combining who were the...

So, if you belong to a church and there are those in it who are lukewarm, does that mean that you are tarred and feathered with the same brush?

So, knowing more than what Jesus knows, you can predict the specific year and week that He is coming again? The JWs have tried over and over again since they started in the 1870s and have failed every time. They calculated but struck out, so how can you do any better?

Absolutely correct! Here is a verse that sums it all up without a doubt: "God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God" (2 Corinthians 5:21). As long as a believer remains in Christ, he is effectively the righteousness of God...

"But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day...

I have answered that in my previous post. What do you think Jesus is doing and saying when He is ever living to intercede for those who are His?

Jesus fulfilled the Law in Himself. He was totally righteous and kept the Law without fault. Because He did what no sinful human could do, He could be the perfect sacrifice for sin. When He died on the cross He died as us, taking our penalty for all the sins we have and will commit. This...

Anyone can cobble a few random verses together to make the Bible say what they want it to say. 1 John 1:9 says that if we confess our sin, He will cleanse us from all unrighteousness. This means past, present, and future, otherwise it is not all sin. Also, if it is all sin, then Jesus is just...

I think this is reading into the Scripture things that are not there. It is a bad habit of some to over-spiritualise what is essentially just narrative. The supper in the upper room was a shared evening meal. Nothing more. There was bread, wine, and other food there. Don't believe the art...

It is always best to read and view a range of commentators, because every one of them has their strengths and weaknesses. You won't get perfect teaching from any individual commentator, because, like all of us, we have our religious and theological bias. The good Bible teachers do make a...

It all depends on the foundation of a person's faith. If it is faith in the person's own religious, or even Christian performance, then it is faith in self, and when self fails, as it usually does, then the person falls away because the foundation of their faith fails. So, when you see a...

The only way a genuinely converted believer can be lost is for him or turn right away from Christ and declare himself an atheist.

How many evolutionists does it take to change a light bulb? Answer: One. He sits and watches it for 2 billion years for it to change by itself.

We can't change without the work of the Holy Spirit within us. If we try and change ourselves we end up being self-righteous, which is hateful to God. Reminds me of the question: How many Christian counsellors does it take to change a light bulb? None, unless the light bulb wants to change...

The evidence of this is the churches that teach that tradition supercedes the Bible; Liberal churches who follow Bishop Spong's teaching which denies the virgin birth, resurrection of Christ, God as a real person, the Jesus of history, and boils the Christian faith down to living morally, being...

I didn't know that Ephesians 2:8-9 said: "By grace are you saved through an ongoing process through faith plus works, being of yourself and something earned of God, and including good works." This would have to be the only way you can read this Scripture reference to be consistent with your...

The best teachers on end time events whom I have heard are John MacArthur and Dave Hunt. They teach what the Bible actually says about it, rather than adapt the Scriptures to suit their own theological views. What I am saying is that their theology comes from the pages of the Scripture itself...
