    Not by works - but by faith

    I am OSAS and I also believe that we have to conduct ourselves to demonstrate our new faith and commitment to Christ. A person believing in OSAS and continuing their conduct according to the works of the flesh is deceiving himself and is not genuinely converted to Christ. Conversion is not...

    Not by works - but by faith

    The Scripture says: "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do" (Ephesians 2:10). This follows verse 8 and 9: "For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by...

    Judas dipping his bread into Jesus' bowl

    John was closer to the action than Matthew, so he would have seen what actually happened. Luke's meticulous research would have included an interview with John, so the John and Luke versions are more reliable. Matthew's version would have come from a more general perception of what happened...

    Receiving Gifts of the Spirit (For Those Genuinely Seeking)

    This is the set Scriptural steps to receive the gifts of the Spirit that are available to Christian believers today. There is no Scriptural evidence that these gifts were planned by God to cease after the Apostolic Age. This article is not for those with a Cessational belief, but for those...

    The Truth of Genesis

    Nonsense. Every scientist worth his salt knows it's just a theory that can't be proved. It remains the best guess outside of the Bible. So, if the most qualified scientists accept evolution as a theory, how come you know more than them to say it is real? And what else could it be but on the...

    The Truth of Genesis

    Because in both, trying to verify according to human wisdom and science, one comes up with a non-conclusion. Trying to understand God through human wisdom and science comes short because the Scripture says that God's ways are above our ways and God's thoughts above our thoughts. And trying to...

    The Truth of Genesis

    My view is that evolution is a 'faith' issue, and therefore could be described as much as a religious issue as creationism is. It could be the pot calling the kettle black.

    Judas dipping his bread into Jesus' bowl

    Okay. Let's see what the verse actually says: John 13:26: Jesus answered, "It is the one to whom I give this piece of bread after I have dipped it." Then He dipped the piece of bread and gave it to Judas son of Simon Iscariot." How can you read into the verse where it clearly says that Jesus...

    The Truth of Genesis

    The problem is that evolutionists are very aware of the holes and inconsistencies in the theory, otherwise they would be accepting it as a hard and fast scientific law; so they choose to believe it because they choose not to believe that the universe was created by a divine being, namely God...

    The Truth of Genesis

    Are you starting to get the feeling that you are going around in circles? :D Ah! I see that he has identified himself as an agnostic. A straight out case and there it is! An agnostic is someone who understands what we are talking about, but chooses not to believe it. I think you will get...

    2 Thessalonians 2:7

    I watched an analysis of the asteroid on YouTube, and the conclusion is that it will be near miss in 2029, but could come closer in 2036 and a hit may be possible, but more likely another near miss. They said that in the event that the asteroid will hit the earth, the size of it will mean that...

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    The Holy Spirit walked away from the RCC as soon as the Bishop of Rome decided to take over the church and force his self-appointed authority on it. From then on, including now, it is a total fraud. The problem is that every Christian outside of it can see it clearly, but those deceived by it...

    Judas dipping his bread into Jesus' bowl

    If you read the passage correctly you will see that it was Jesus who dipped the piece of bread gave it to Judas. So your comment is based on a misreading of Scripture.

    Evangelicals and the Sabbath

    The issue here is the certainty of the belief that the doctrine is answerable or not, as the answer may be. If so, then it is a straight out case, and there it is. But if the case is not apparent then the unapparentness of it becomes confusing to those who don't see the absolute detail in all...

    Rapture Ready For Partial Rapture?

    There are many types of Charismatics, so it is not quite fair to tar and feather them all with the same brush. Not all Charismatics are of the Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar, Joel Osteen, Benny Hinn persuasion, whom I seriously doubt that they are even genuinely converted to Christ. They are...

    Are Protestants "saved? "

    Pope Francis made a statement about his personal faith, and it looked very Christ-centred, which made me think that there is more to him than what appears on the surface.

    Soul Sleep

    Or it could be a dead fish (sole), or the sole occupant! Or even someone from Seoul, South Korea!

    Soul Sleep

    It is interesting that when one is deeply asleep, there is no consciousness of the passing of time, and it seems to be morning an instant after falling asleep at night. Actually, most people don't realise they have fallen asleep until they wake up in the morning. Not for me though, with my 72...
